street arguments with alito, especially your point that i will highlight, too, of mrs. alito being caught on tape and saying i am german and saying it in a way that clearly intends to be threatening. what could she possibly be referring to with german being threatening? >> i don't know. as someone who has some german background in my own family, usually you don't try to play up the retribution nature of the german people if you don't have to. history as a guide suggest maybe don't do that. >> it is one of those indicators of just how wild it is at the alito home when it comes to what is happening with their flags, which clearly justice alito knew all about, as your interview proved conclusively. >> wild is one word for it. i will be curious to see what senator whitehouse has to say about it. have a good show. the stock market closed at an all-time high once again today. proving once again today that republican businessmen don't know what is good for them. and yes, i am using the antiquated term businessmen deliberately, because the thinking of the people i am referring to is antiquated. the last time it made any sense at all for republican businessmen to vote republican, was back when they all really were men. no women allowed. in the 1920s. back when the stock market crashed in 1929 under republican president herbert hoover and then the country sank into the deepest depression it has ever suffered. there wasn't a single republican politician who had any idea what to do about that. then came democratic president franklin delano roosevelt, elected in 1932, in the depths of the depression, and that democratic president created the policies that saved the american economy. if your business survive to the depression it was because of the policies of the democratic president, franklin roosevelt. those policies help your business survive the depression. franklin delano roosevelt held the banking system together by himself in the first days of his presidency. when the entire banking system was on the verge of collapse. the whole thing. what did republican businessmen do? they opposed president roosevelt. they have never known what is good for them and what is good for them is a democratic presidency that knows how to get things done to help their businesses keep running. the economy does better under democratic presidents. that is a simple fact of american economic history and there are many businessmen and businesswomen who understand that and vote accordingly. they vote in their own self- interest for democratic presidents. but republican businessmen remain the dominant voice in american media and it is a voice that is almost always wrong. and so there are noisy republican businessmen who are now voicing their support for donald trump without ever thanking joe biden for helping them get richer than they have ever been. during the biden presidency. those people never thanked president obama for getting the economy back on track after the financial crisis of 2008, when wall street investment banks collapsed. those wall street investment banks collapsed in the final year of an eight year republican presidency. those wall street bankers got fabulously wealthy beyond their wildest dreams during the eight years of the democratic presidency of bill clinton and then some of them lost everything under the republican presidency of george w. bush and many of them still enthusiastically vote republican, because they are unable to be educated. we do not send our best wall street, we send our greediest, and many of them are too ignorant to understand how competent democratic presidents enrich the economy and always make the rich people who vote against them richer. not all of the people in business are too dense to understand that. democratic presidential candidates get plenty of contributions and support from investment bankers and business owners and business executives who actually understand how the economy works and the government's essential position in the economy. infrastructure spending is one of the simplest illustrations of this. scheduled and rescheduled infrastructure week for four years and never passed a single bill providing a single improvement in american infrastructure. not one brick. donald trump built nothing. joe biden passed an infrastructure bill and signed it into law and did it with bipartisan support in the senate. many republicans voted against that bill in the house and senate and now step forward to take credit for the infrastructure improvements that that bill is delivering an republican congressional districts and republican states. infrastructure improvements are usually planned carefully for years before the first day of work on a project begins. this year we saw a case of emergency infrastructure work like we have never seen before when 112,383 metric tons of freight of a container ship crashed into the francis scott key bridge across baltimore harbor and instantly closed all shipping in and out of baltimore. that was not a problem for baltimore businesses. that was a problem for the world. grain harvested in the great plains is shipped to countries around the world through the port of baltimore. that means there were businesses large and small in places like iowa, nebraska, kansas, that would be hurt by the closing of the port of baltimore. the first stage of the story was tragedy for the six men who lost their lives working on the bridge when it collapsed in the middle of the night. 35-year-old and 24-year-old. 26-year-old castillo cabrera. and 35-year-old jose lopez from guatemala. a 38-year-old from honduras. 49-year-old from el salvador. the second stage of the story had to immediately be the reopening of the port of baltimore and the third stage, the reopening of the bridge. reopening the port meant clearing the bridge debris so that a clear, unobstructed channel could be established through the port that is 700 feet wide and 50 foot the to accommodate the huge container ships that use the port. until the port was open, every ship on the oceans of the world headed for the port of baltimore to deliver imports to the united states had to be rerouted or weight and that would add the cost to the exports and the imports involved, which means it would add inflation in the same way that the broken supply chain during the covid pandemic created inflation around the world. and every ship that was in the port of baltimore, ready to leave that night and deliver america's exports around the world, was then stuck. could not move. stuck. none of those ships could leave until that channel was reopened. none of them. that meant that every business that had good on those ships for export around the world was losing money every day. every american business. shipping exports on those ships lost money every day those ships could not run. the only thing that was going to be able to get those ships out of the port of baltimore was competent government action and the american economy was lucky. american businesses are lucky that everyone involved at every level of government that needed to coordinate on this emergency infrastructure project is a democrat. democratic president joe biden. democratic governor wes moore. democratic mayor of baltimore, brandon scott. anything less than full emergency speed and response to this infrastructure emergency could have meant that it would take a year or years just to reopen the shipping channel in the port of baltimore. 11 weeks. 11 weeks led by joe biden. the emergency infrastructure project in the port of baltimore took 11 weeks. and this week the port reopened. >> i've been waiting to say this for every day for the last 11 weeks. maryland, the fort mchenry channel is fully cleared and the port of baltimore is reopened for business. this would not have happened without our extraordinary partners in the biden harris administration. i remember the first phone call that i got from the white house was around 3:30 that morning. and they have been in lockstep with us every single step of the way. they helped us to stand up small business administration recovery centers in baltimore to help individuals and businesses affect did by the collapse. they delivered $16 million in emergency funding just days after the bridge fell. president biden himself took the time to come to baltimore and meet with us about the path forward. maryland is deeply grateful for the leadership of president biden and the leadership of vice president harris. >> that was governor wes moore at the port of baltimore today. there is another version of this story that could have happened. president biden goes to baltimore and promises to do everything he can to reopen the port as fast as possible and then he fails. then the resources cannot be coordinated with the highly skilled workers needed immediately to do the work of dismantling the bridge and dredging the channel. the workers and equipment ready to do this kind of specialty job are not just sitting around waiting for emergency phone calls. failure was more likely than success in this mission, in this timetable. just ask donald trump who did not build or rebuild anything during his presidency. if joe biden failed at reopening the port of baltimore, republicans would be campaigning against him in november, saying he failed to do that. donald trump of course would be promising to reopen the port of baltimore on his first day in the white house again and trump voters of course proof that nonsense because they have proved they will believe anything. that is not the way it happened. joe biden delivered on his promise and when he did he makes it look easy. no republican businessman is going to say thanks, joe. this is what winning in good government looks like and most voters will never realize. most voters in the country will never realize how important joe biden's governing skills, including his emergency governing skills, are in solving a problem like this that no president before him has ever had to face. joe biden couldn't turn to anyone in the white house and say how did lyndon johnson handle this? how did ronald reagan handle this? joe biden had to use all of his experience in government and his understanding of the region and supports importance to the american economy to quickly figure out how to handle this. >> president biden made clear from that first day and those early hours that the federal government would do everything we could to support the city, the county, the state, to get the port back open and get the bridge rebuilt and what followed was an embrace of the people of baltimore by the whole administration and really the whole country to get the port back open in less than 100 days. >> being a republican businessman means you never have to say thank you to the democrats who save your business. leading off our discussion tonight is governor wes moore of ireland. -- of maryland. he is also a member of the advisory board for the reelection campaign. governor, thank you very much for joining us tonight. it is an impressive feat. anyone who knows anything about marine salvage operations and how difficult they are to execute. getting this done in this amount of time and opening up that channel -- >> thanks so much. i remember the admiral who runs the coast guard, when i saw her on day three. she said this is the most complex maritime operation she had been part of. but i tell you, lawrence, i remember that first morning when i first spoke to the people of my state and i knew that my job was to provide a measure of calm and also a measure of comfort and certainty to the people of my state. i have to tell you when i got that phone call, the first phone call from the white house at 3:30 in the morning, i had a chance to speak to the president and he said we are going to be with you every step of the way. the same thing i was trying to offer to the people of my state, he offered to me and every single step of this journey to be able to bring closure and comfort to the families of the six marylanders who were lost that morning, to make sure all of the workers and first responders who were impacted. we have thousands of people who lost their jobs. when that ship crashed into the bridge. to make sure they knew they were going to be seen and supported. to make sure we would stop at nothing to get the federal channel reopened when people told us it could take up to a year to get the channel reopened. because we worked together we were at -- we were able to show instead of taking 11 months we got it done in 11 weeks. all of that happened in partnership with the biden administration. i'm so think that we had an administration focused on competence and focused on compassion and focused on keeping their prominences. -- their promises. this was a case study on how to respond with speed and hard to get big things done. we showed government can get big things done if you work together, but that is because we had the right partner that we needed in the moment with president biden and his entire team. >> americans used to fully understand that our seacoast ports, important seacoast ports, are not local operations. that they are feeders of the entire country and exporters for the entire country. just that image of the containers behind you in that shot today, the materials that we see in those containers, those are not for the people of baltimore. that was not made by the people of baltimore that is being shipped out here. that is the whole country using this port. talk about the national importance of getting this channel and this port reopened this fast. >> you know every time you order something on amazon, people have to remember, where do you think that is getting delivered to? when people order new cars, where do you think that is coming in from? when people have agricultural equipment. the port of baltimore is the largest in the country for agriculture equipment. for the restaurant getting spices and sugars, where do you think they are coming in? the port of baltimore services two thirds of this country. billions of dollars flow throughout the port of baltimore. when you look at the fact that we had a chip the size of three football fields closing down the port of baltimore, that has supply-chain challenges and significant economic challenges. the ability to work with speed to get the port reopened. the human impact of the workers, the thousands of workers directly impacted, but also the fact that this was a core artery for american economic vitality and growth. when you have the port of baltimore, the largest port in this country for new cars, heavy shops, agricultural equipment, coal, collections of different items. now seeing that port reopened. this was an incredibly celebratory moment not just for the workers impacted, but also for the american economy. it goes to show our measure of dynamism and how fast and important the rebound was to make sure everybody in our country can be supported. >> we all know if this happened at the port of los angeles, something like this, president biden would have worked just as hard to get it fixed, but he does not have the kind of personal familiarity with that port as he has with the port of baltimore. this is a guy who passed through the port of baltimore to and from work every day in the united states senate when he was commuting from delaware to washington. there must've been an advantage in speaking to the president about a place that he knows as well as he does. >> it was also great. he also has family history. as he told me his father, his grandfather, they called baltimore home. he even says baltimore the right way. it was great working with someone who knows and sees us, but i will tell you there is something else special about baltimore. for far too long baltimore has been a community that has been historically neglected. when you think about things like redlining and how lines were made up to create racial segregation. it's birthplace was baltimore. when you look at communities that have been chronically neglected. the children of baltimore have double the asthma rate of anywhere else in the state of maryland. if you look at measurements of economic inequality that existed within the city of baltimore. i think that is something the president takes personally. so when we came in we made a commitment that this was going to be an administration, the moore administration that was going to center and focus on supporting baltimore. when you're looking at the growth we have now seen in baltimore, baltimore now has the eighth fastest growing economy in this country. since her administration has come on board, we have been able to work together in partnership to make sure that the homicide rates in baltimore are falling faster than any other american city in this country with the exception of one. right now if we can keep pace with where we are with homicide and violent crime, the last time the homicide rate was so low in baltimore, i was not born yet. so the momentum we are seeing in the city of baltimore is real, but also because we are working in partnership and working in partnership with the biden administration, who has been so centered on making sure that baltimore and the people of baltimore are not forgotten in this moment. >> governor wes moore, thank you for joining us on this important night for maryland and for the country. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up, republicans blocked a vote in the senate for an enforceable code of conduct for supreme court justices and justice alito's wife gets into fights with her neighbors and uses, for some reason, her german heritage, as she puts it, as a threat. that is next. ♪♪ i have type 2 diabetes, but i manage it well.
