ALL IN DEEP STATE CRISIS AFTER TRUMP JUST STUNNED WASHINGTON DC WITH UNIMAGINABLE ACTION
and there's a Fox News Alert welcome to Hannity on this busy breaking news night we start
this morning before sunrise heavily armed FBI agents dressed in full
tactical gear surrounding the home of a 66 year old man drawing their weapons pounding
on the door and they took him
into custody now this was not a suspected murderer drug kingpin not a part of the mob
no this was Roger stone accused of making a false statement to Congress
stone is just the latest American to be persecuted by Robert
Muller's witch-hunt because of his connection to President Trump now coming up tonight longtime
Roger stone confidant and fellow mulher target he's identified
as person number one in this indictment jerome corsi
he will join us for an exclusive interview but first big news we start with the partial
government shutdown President Trump announced today that after
35 days a deal has been reached to reopen the government temporarily until
February the 15th he is given Congress now three weeks to agree on legislation to build
the wall secure our borders and he was speaking earlier today from the Rose
Garden and here's what the president had to say it's just common
sense walls work that's why most of the Democrats in Congress have voted in the past four bills
that include walls and physical barriers and very powerful fences
these barriers are made of Steel have seeped through visibility which is
very important and are equipped with sensors monitors and cutting-edge technology right
in our Hannity watch segment we have the real behind-the-scenes
story nobody else in the media will tell you numerous
Democrats both in the House and the Senate for the last two weeks they have been speaking
to their Republican colleagues they have been asking them to broker
this three-week opportunity to support the wall and negotiate other
parties like another issues like daca and dreamers they've been begging their Republican
colleagues to make that deal with the president so the president well he
showed leadership rose above the partisan bickering in the swamp offering
relief to workers all while sticking to his commitment to secure our border now the
president was very clear no ambiguity in three weeks if Congress cannot do their job secure
a deal to protect our borders
then the president will do what he lawfully has the right to do and that's declare a national
emergency and he will be building the wall with funds that he allocates
most likely from the Defense Department this is indeed a real crisis
in three weeks he will declare a national emergency and look at what the president's
done up till now he's offered concessions things the Democrats say
they wanted daca dreamers TPA he's standing up for life versus death to him
he's been arguing safety and security for the people of this country but tonight we
have to ask ourselves this question what are the Democrats what an ANSI
and Chuck been standing up for actually nothing
there's no position here they have only been placating what is now the radical extreme
base of the socialist Democratic Party of today and all they do is fuel their
daily anti Trump rage and hate ask that question of tonight Democrats what
did they do they went on vacation the president stayed at the White House luxurious junkets
really paid for by lobbyists while the president stays at the
White House refusing invitation after invitation to sit down with the
president who's saying I'm willing to work with you I'll work on Doc I'll work on dreamers
but we've got to secure the border to save the lives of our fellow countrymen
because of the problem with open borders now these other Democrats
privately they had been going behind the leadership in their own party asking leaders like Lindsey
Graham and others hey help us get this period where we can try
to get this job done they want the wall as well but they're just not
telling Schumer and Pelosi if not they know the president will declare that national emergency
now the president to his credit he has tried every single thing
he could possibly do he has been reasonable
he has been fair he's offered concessions but in the end it's his job as commander-in-chief
to keep us safe he'll do his job so now Congress they have
their three weeks to do their job and secure our
border Democrats we need Republicans they need to member the facts that we have built
so far 654 miles of border wall over the last
15 years with notable results for example the wall in Yuma Arizona after
it went from 5 miles to 60 Plus miles well that led to a 91% drop in crime remember Democrats
they actually used to be for strong borders just a few years ago
that's when Obama was president actually they sounded more like Trump
than Trump before they were consumed with all this anti Trump hate and rage every day
take a look people who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens
and illegal aliens should
not be treated the same as people who entered the US legally to so many Americans we do
not want the wall to be a symbol of America much preferring the Statue
of Liberty be that simple all of us agree that we need to have
comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform that can only begin strong border control
we must have that we must control our borders is an immorality it's
not who we are as a nation walls work but we've got to finish the job
I've said so many times on this program the cost of a porous border they're enormous
and it's growing more serious every single day human trafficking drug trafficking gangs
cartels it is a
life-and-death situation talk to angel moms and Angel dads talk to the parents that have
lost their kids because of the opioid crisis and then to make
matters worse another ten thousand person migrant Caravan right now as we
speak is headed our way so you say tonight to Chuck and Nancy all right behind your back
your fellow Democrats they want that wall they also want to deal
with daca they want to solve problems they want solutions will you
work for it now you can either work with this president do what's right for the country
or the American people will see you for who you are just obstructionist hating
a president and anyone out there by the way thinking president Trump cave
today you don't really know that Donald Trump I know he right now holds all the cards he
will secure the border one way or another and what President Trump works
hard to solve serious issues of life and death
face in the country well we do have another issue tonight Hannity watch on the deep state
robert muller and his merry band of democratic donors they continue
their quest literally to destroy the lives of everyone and anyone
that's associated with Donald Trump today Roger stone was their latest target our own
trace Gallagher has the very latest on the pre-dawn raid on the Fort
Lauderdale home of longtime president Trump confidant Roger stone
began with the FBI shouting opened the door it ended with stone being led away in handcuffs

FINNALY TRUMP JUST STUNS WASHINGTON DC WITH MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT
welcome back president Trump doubles down on his demands for a border wall as
he calls on Democrats to restart negotiations on funding the government past February 15th
a new number of House
Democrats appear to be supporting the idea of at least a vote on wall funding one of
them joins me right now Utah Democratic congressman ben mcadams he's a
member of the House Financial Services Committee and the Blue Dog Coalition
congressman it's nice to have you on the program this morning thanks so much for being here
Thank You Maria good to be with you you were among 30 House Democrats
who sent Nancy Pelosi a letter urging her to give Trump a vote on the
wall funding tell me what you think would come out of that vote you know first and foremost
what the the purpose of that letter was to say that the shutdown
is doing no good for anybody we're harming the US economy we're
risking a recession we're harming the federal employees who are just working to put food
on the table and let's open the government there are processes in the
in the Congress in our government laid out by the founders to have debates
like this that's what Congress has intended to do so let's open the government and then
let's have this negotiation the president has a proposal that
should be heard in the Congress we should debate it and we should work to
build common ground and try and move forward a solution on border security on immigration
reform and let's go through the proper channels of the Congress that that
are built and intended to have this exact conversation but let's not do it
in the context of a shutdown that harms the American people that harms our economy and
risks the pocketbooks of every American what I'm trying to better understand
is really the makeup of the new Congress because of course we know
that there's a pocket of Democrats who just want the president out and much of it is politics
and they are resisting anything that he would like we know that
Nancy Pelosi and many of her colleagues voted for a wall and voted for wall fencing years
ago many times we know that there's a wall right now a border
wall in Nancy Pelosi zone state of California separating Tijuana and San Diego but because
President Trump has the idea it's resist resist resist so you
come from a red state you beat out your your opponent on the Republican
side do you think a movement within your new Congress to actually get things done putting
politics aside and not necessarily resisting everything the president says because you
don't like his personality
absolutely you know there are a lot of me and my colleagues who were elected this last
year a lot of us are just pragmatist who just want to get something
done before I was elected to Congress I was a mayor and mayor's just
have this attitude of okay what can we do to move forward to solve the problem as a
Democrat in a very red state I never got anything done unless I could reach
out and build bridges across the aisle so as long as the debate is
focused on you know as long as we're defining a win is meaning somebody else loses we're
never gonna have consensus so we've got to find that win win and I don't
know at this time what the win looks that win win looks like but we
have to find it and I know that a lot of my freshman colleagues are moderates who want
to find that win win that probably we should look at some things to address immigration
reform and dreamers I think is something important permanent
protections for dreamers but also border security as a mayor I saw illegal drugs and and the
impacts of that in my in my city and I want to do more to stop the flow
of illegal drugs into the end of the country so I think there's a lot of
common ground and I think the way to approach this and the way that I would approach it
if I was mayor is to say you know there's a conversation a debate about
wall or no wall let's step back from that conversation where there's
it's divided divisive and let's talk about what we have in common let's find that thread
of commonality amongst Republicans and Democrats I think the threat
of commonality is we all want to protect the border we can find common
ground on that so in some places that's going to mean technology other places in other ways
immigration reform and in some places it may mean a barrier and I think
if we step back and reframe the conversation about protecting the border
and what can we do and what's the most effective way to do that instead of debating a wall
or no wall let's debate border security and I think there's a lot
of common ground yeah I think you make a lot of good points because there
are areas of the country where they're wide open and perhaps maybe you don't need an actual
fence or wall there because you can use technology and drones
they're wide open areas that if illegals come in you can actually
apprehend them easily because it's so wide open but then there are areas like the wall
we've been looking at in Nancy Pelosi state separating Tijuana
from San Diego where you have a very dense population three million
people on one side of the wall through a Tijuana another three million people on the other
side of the wall in San Diego so what is your thoughts in terms of how much
is needed for actual barrier on the southern border and will you vote YES
for wall creation and more wall extension of what we're seeing in this picture so what
I've tried to do is not draw any lines in the sand I want to vote
to say have border protection to have border security to reduce the flow
of drugs and evil even illegal immigration that may include a barrier sure I wouldn't
rule out barriers and places where it's appropriate
I think that's I think that's acceptable but let's have this
conversation in the context of committee hearings at the Congress with a goal of finding common
ground I also think one of the things we can do to protect the border
is to reduce illegal immigration by fixing a broken immigration system if
we can make sure that those good people who are who are just looking for a job our economy
is asking to brainian workers let's find it let's make it easier
for them to immigrate legally so they're not tempted to cross the border
illegally so I think part of it part of the border part of the border protection strategy
has to be fixing a broken immigration system our laws do you feel that
you have a voice I mean I know that you did not support Nancy Pelosi's bid
to become the speaker for a second time do you feel like you're being listened to you
will you have the influence with these practical ideas that you're putting
forth I think so I mean we're just up getting up and going as a
congress right now I've been pleasantly surprised at people both on the Republican side and
even more progressive on the Democratic side who who
I felt that my voice is welcome let's let's hope that as we go into this
negotiation people can allow all voices to be at the table some of the pragmatists can
on both sides of the aisle again can really push for
common ground and trying to find that you know that solution that will
really garner a majority of support in Congress and help us to to reopen the border I'm somebody
who you know we're
gonna have disagreements from time to time but once one disagreements behind us we move
to the next issue we try and find common ground we don't carry baggage
forward for debate to debate and that's how I'd go into
this the same way we've got that behind us let's go further disagreements that are also
radical on the economic side of things you're on the Financial Services Committee
what are your thoughts on Elizabeth Warren's idea to confiscate
income to put attacks on overall assets and wealth or Alexandrian costea's idea of having
a seventy

Mike Pence y el enviado de Juan Guaidó en Washington hablaron de la llegada de ayuda humanitaria a V - Duration: 5:18.
Un momento del encuentro entre la delegación del gobierno interino venezolano y MIke Pence en la Casa Blanca (Twitter Mike Pence/@VP) El vicepresidente de EE
UU., Mike Pence, y Carlos Vecchio, máximo representante en Washington del autoproclamado presidente de Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, hablaron este martes sobre cómo hacer llegar ayuda humanitaria al país suramericano
"En las próximas horas, vamos a estar anunciando cómo sale la ayuda humanitaria, cuándo llega y de qué se trata la ayuda humanitaria", dijo Vecchio en declaraciones a la prensa horas después de reunirse con Pence y a la salida de otro encuentro con legisladores
Vecchio, encargado de negocios de Guaidó en Washington, reconoció que hacer llegar la ayuda a su país es un "reto" y, al ser preguntado por la prensa, no descartó que vaya a ingresar a través de la frontera con Colombia y se limitó a decir que hay "varias opciones" sobre la mesa
"Yo -dijo Vecchio- confío en nuestro pueblo y en las fuerzas armadas, en que cuando esa medicina y esa comida llegué allí que la necesita el pueblo, nuestros militares van a facilitar la entrada de eso
No tengo duda de que va a ocurrir" (Twitter Mike Pence/@VP) Ya el lunes el ex alcalde venezolano David Smolansky consideró que el bloqueo de ayuda humanitaria por parte del dictador, Nicolás Maduro, supondría un "punto de inflexión" para el estrato castrense, hasta ahora fiel al presidente y cuyo apoyo es fundamental para quien quiera ejercer el poder en Venezuela
La semana pasada, el secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Mike Pompeo, anunció que su Gobierno "está listo" para brindar más de 20 millones de dólares en asistencia humanitaria al "pueblo" de Venezuela
En un comunicado sobre la reunión entre Pence y Vecchio, la Casa Blanca no comentó sobre esa ayuda humanitaria y se limitó a "firmemente enfatizar el objetivo de larga data de EE
UU. para restaurar la democracia en Venezuela a través de elecciones libres y justas"
Honored to welcome Amb. @CarlosVecchio, @JulioBorges & leaders of the free gov't of Venezuela to @WhiteHouse
The US strongly stands w/ the Venezuelan Nat'l Assembly & the gov't of Pres @Jguaido
We are committed to seeing democracy restored to VZ through free & fair elections

David Smolansky, Carlos Alfredo Vecchio y Julio Borges en su salida de la Casa Blanca tras reunirse con Mike Pence (REUTERS/Jim Young) Por su parte, Guaidó celebró el encuentro a través de Twitter y agradeció al gobierno estadounidense del reconocimiento de los representantes diplomáticos
Agradecemos al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América por el reconocimiento a nuestros Representantes Diplomáticos Designados
Y su compromiso con #Venezuela, en nuestra lucha por la libertad y la democracia
https://t.co/ReIlDf4hDh— Juan Guaidó (@jguaido) 30 gennaio 2019 Vecchio fue aceptado como representante diplomático de Venezuela el pasado domingo por el secretario de Estado de EE
UU., Mike Pompeo. La confirmación de Vecchio como jefe de la misión diplomática de Guaidó, al que la Casa Blanca reconoce como el mandatario legítimo de Venezuela, apunta a la formación de una embajada paralela en EE
UU,, después de que el dictador venezolano, Nicolás Maduro, rompiera relaciones diplomáticas con Washington
MÁS SOBRE ESTE TEMA: EEUU advirtió que "habrá serias consecuencias" si el régimen de Nicolás Maduro intenta "dañar" a Juan Guaidó El Tribunal Supremo chavista le prohibió a Juan Guaidó la salida del país y congeló sus bienes Al día siguiente de las sanciones de EEUU, la petrolera rusa Lukoil suspendió sus contratos con la venezolana PDVSA

South Korea came in 45th out of 180 countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index report
last year.
Released by Transparency International, it shows countries based on the level of corruption
of the country's public sector.
Seoul scored 57 points in 2018,... up three extra points from the year prior.
70 and up are considered "generally clean" while 50 or above means "not entirely corrupt."
The Cheongwadae said the result of the report, the highest figure in Korea's history, is
a reflection of the Moon administration's push for an all-out effort to eradicate corruption.
Despite the improvement,... Korea still ranks 30th out
of 36 OECD members.

Senate panel postpones William Barrs confirmation vote amid Democrats concerns The Washington Post - Duration: 2:30.
Senate panel postpones William Barrs confirmation vote amid Democrats concerns The Washington Post
A planned Senate Judiciary Committee vote on William P. Barrs nomination to serve as attorney general has been delayed for a week, as Democrats continue to raise concerns about whether he will allow special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to finish his probe and publicize the results unimpeded.
The delay, which is customary for high profile nominations, is not expected to impede Barrs eventual chances of being confirmed by the full Senate. But it is the latest reflection of the deep partisan tension surrounding Barrs nomination, most of which centers on Democrats desire to protect Muellers probe from being unduly constrained.
The committee postponed its vote on Barr as one of over 40 nominations the panel was scheduled to vote on Tuesday, but decided to delay until its next meeting.
In both his public testimony and , Barr has repeatedly refused to give senators any firm guarantee that he will release Muellers report to Congress and the public free of redactions. In similar fashion, he has only promised to ask for, but not necessarily heed, the advice of the Justice Departments ethics counsel on the matter of whether he should recuse himself from oversight of the probe.
That has particularly frustrated Democrats, who take issue with a memo Barr penned last year arguing that in scrutinizing the actions of the Trump campaign, Mueller appeared to be interpreting an obstruction of justice statute too broadly. Democrats fear the memo is evidence Barr, who served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush during the early 1990s, might seek to constrain the scope of Muellers probe.
Though Barr has said that, as a former attorney general, he often weighs in on topics of the day, he acknowledged in written answers to lawmakers that he could not recall another case in which he sent the Justice Department such a memo.
As he looks to return to his previous post leading the Justice Department, Barr has met privately with more Senate Republicans than Democrats. Still, it is unclear if he could change Democrats minds in additional meetings, as the Democrats who have met with him behind closed doors have emerged saying they were still unsatisfied with Barrs answers concerning Mueller.
But Barr doesnt need any Democratic support to be confirmed. Under rules changes that the Democratic led Senate adopted in 2013, only a simple majority of senators votes are needed to confirm a Cabinet nominee.
Yet the delayed Judiciary committee vote means that it will be difficult for the Senate to confirm Barr before current acting attorney general Matthew G. Whitaker is due on Capitol Hill on Feb. 8 to answer the House Judiciary Committees questions about his oversight of the Mueller probe.

The shutdown was proof of Trumps stark incapacity for leadership The Washington Post - Duration: 2:20.
The shutdown was proof of Trumps stark incapacity for leadership The Washington Post
Opinion Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events
PRESIDENT TRUMPS over Congresss refusal to fund a border wall paralyzed much of the government for five weeks, sapped the morale and wallets of hundreds of thousands of federal workers and low wage contractors, left millions of Americans disgusted and dismayed, and diminished the United States in the eyes of the world. The impasse was proof of the presidents stark incapacity for leadership, which he reconfirmed Friday by threatening to re shutter the government in three weeks.
In announcing his non deal with Congress — in fact, it is more cease fire than solution — Mr. Trump rehashed his tired and truth free arguments, asserting against logic and evidence that building a massive new border wall, to supplement hundreds of miles of barriers already in place along high trafficked segments of the border, would cause crime to plummet and drug trafficking to dry up.
He has lost that argument with the American people, a majority of whom oppose building the wall and blame him and Republicans in Congress for the shutdown, according to the latest . Mindful of that, of the cascading economic costs related to the government closure and of the latest shutdown related calamity — Fridays massive flight delays along the Eastern Seaboard owing to — the president agreed to reopen the government until Feb. 15, with no new funding for a border wall for now. Score one for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi D Calif. , though no one is going to celebrate a national debacle such as this.
In the aftermath of such a pointless episode, the best hope is for Congress to step forward and shape a deal. It might include a new law, valid for at least the next two years, to prevent another shutdown. It would , such as security guards and cafeteria cooks, as Sen. Chris Van Hollen D Md. and others have proposed. And it would combine some rational border security with some merciful immigration reform.
In that last arena, the contours of a way forward are no secret. If Mr. Trump continues to insist on funding for a piece of wall, which he says is a matter of , he should offer serious concessions on immigration to the Democrats — not the phony package peppered with poison pills that he rolled out a week ago, but a secure future for two groups whose protections from deportation he has tried to rescind: dreamers brought to this country as children by their parents, and migrants who have been living legally in the United States on temporary protected status, having fled unrest and natural disasters at home. For the dreamers, that would mean a path to legal status for 1.5 million or more of them who are eligible for the Obama era program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
If Mr. Trump resists that — if he reverts to another shutdown in which he again treats as pawns hundreds of thousands of the incredible federal workers he lauded on Friday — he will simply pile failure upon failure. If he declares an emergency as a means to divert federal funds for building a wall, he will invite litigation in what amounts to a profoundly undemocratic end run.
Mr. Trump has failed as a dealmaker. Congress might yet salvage something worthwhile from this sorry episode.

Washington Grown Season 6 Episode 4 Raspberries - Duration: 26:47.
Washington Grown is brought to you by
the Washington State Department of Agriculture's
Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.
And Northwest Farm Credit Services,
supporting agriculture in rural communities
with reliable, consistent credit and financial services
today and tomorrow.
Hi everyone I'm Kristi Gorenson, and welcome to Washington Grown.
We all know that pie is an American classic.
And this one here is made with local raspberries
and it's full of tasty Washington pride.
In this episode we are talking all about sweet and juicy
Washington grown raspberries.
I'll be getting a tasty tour
at the food lovers paradise Country Mercantile.
I don't think I've ever
eaten my way through an entire tour like that before.
Then I'll make a piled-high raspberry pie
at the Lynden Dutch Bakery.
This is one of the hardest things
I've ever done on this show.
And Tomás will be handing out burgers with a raspberry twist.
This is good man!
All this and much more, today on Washington Grown.
We grow 'em big in Washington.
You're like, "I could put her to work."
Right now. Oh yeah.
Are you getting tired already?
No.
Am I doing this right?
It's like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
This is one of the hardest things I've ever done
on this show!
Cheers! Thanks for having us.
Step into the charming town of Lynden, Washington
for a sweet treat at Lynden Dutch Bakery.
This spot has been making delicious
and traditional Dutch baked goods for their community
since 1907.
This is like my favorite thing to do,
favorite place to take the kids!
It's a small town,
so when you come in here, you always have a friendly face.
It's warm, it's welcoming, you can smell all the pastries.
It's just unlike anything else around here.
From muffins to danishes to donuts and pies,
Lynden Bakery makes all of its goods from scratch.
Owner Chad Simmons also keeps tradition alive
by using many original Dutch recipes.
There was a lot of Dutch immigrants that settled here,
and the former owner said, "Make what we make here.
Keep doing that and you'll succeed."
They've done such a good job of keeping it modern,
but still just the old, traditional feel.
They have this like, ancient oven that's been cooking forever
and it's such a neat part of Lynden history.
It's a great place to have in the community
and I hope they'll be around for hundreds of years more.
With such a rich history,
there are more than a baker's dozen of favorites.
We have almond sticks.
Speculaas Cookies.
Maple bar.
Butter cakes.
Poffertjes.
They really do have the best donuts in town.
There's pretty much nothing in there
over there that I'm not like, "Yes!"
I'm gonna steal half of that.
We're largely known for our pies.
It just stands to reason
with all of the availability of fresh fruit.
It's one of the best berry-growing regions
in the world.
Don't miss later in the show when baker Jodi Burger and I
make one of these irresistible fresh raspberry pies.
You're hired.
I'm hired, yeah.
Although most raspberries are grown in Northwest Washington,
there's a lot going on just south of that.
Today, we're in Auburn with Rosella Mosby,
the President of King-Pierce Farm Bureau.
Rosella and her husband run Mosby Farms,
a 40-year-old, first generation farm.
With about 350 acres, they grow a variety of vegetables.
Leeks, beets, zucchini, rhubarb.
Everything we do here is hand-weeded and hand-harvested.
And we supply all the major grocery chains
and produce houses in the Pacific Northwest.
In order for farmers like Rosella to make all that happen,
Farm Bureau is there to help as an advocacy organization.
Farmers don't always have time to advocate for their need,
and so Farm Bureau provides the advocacy need
for farmers and ranchers on a collective level.
Farmers get together on the county level,
and then your voice for change moves up.
So, county level, state level, national level.
So in a nutshell, tell me exactly,
what does the Farm Bureau do?
We help fund things like Ag in the Classroom,
the Ag/Forestry Leadership Program,
Ronald McDonald House.
Agriculture education, I mean,
there's not enough students going in to agriculture,
so we give scholarships to Ag students in our county.
Rosella explained that farmers face many challenges
including weather, regulation, urban encroachment, and labor.
Anybody who's doing hand-weeded,
hand-harvested specialty vegetables
is struggling with labor.
Last year we disked under 20 acres,
equivalent of 15 football fields...
Wait a minute, 15 football fields?
...worth of zucchini
because we didn't have enough people to harvest.
So, you know, that takes a serious toll on any farm.
This is not a new problem.
We've had a labor issue for the last 10 to 15 years,
so we're just looking for change.
And change is always a constant in agriculture.
Farm Bureau is a beautiful thing,
because having resources and being able to get training
so you can advocate for what you need,
it gives a bigger voice to the smaller farmer.
You can learn more about Farm Bureau
by going to their website at wsfb.com.
I think it's really exciting
that not only are you affiliated with them,
but also live the life.
And it's in great appreciation.
So, thank you so much for your time.
We love it here.
Today, we're in Lynden, Washington,
just two miles away from the Canadian border,
at Rader Farms.
I'm talking with farm manager Juan Garcia,
who has a long history with this farm.
I met my wife in Pasco, Washington,
followed her to this office here 27 years ago,
and haven't looked back since.
We have 550 raspberry acres in production,
175 blueberry, and about 10 in rhubarb.
Juan has been the farm manager here for seven years
and has many jobs and responsibilities.
Pest management, nutrient management,
water monitoring, working with our team,
'cuz it's a team, I'm not doing it all by myself,
working with them and trying to make the right decisions.
Juan learned much of what he knows today from Lyle Rader,
the second generation of this family farm.
The best teacher, mentor that I've every worked with.
We lost him a few years ago, but his work still goes on.
I mean, you're looking at it right now.
Today, the farm owner is Lyle's son, Brad Rader.
Brad and Juan work very closely
to carry out the legacy of the farm.
I worked alongside with his dad for so many years,
and workin' with Brad, it's enjoyable.
We've worked a lot of harvests together,
grown a business together.
I used to be very involved on the farm side,
and I'm not as much anymore, because of people like Juan.
There's that relationship where you have to understand
what we need, in order to get that job done.
It's more than just an employer/employee relationship.
Yeah, he means a lot to me.
That's awesome.
But even such a dynamic duo like Brad and Juan
face challenges every day.
Our wages are tough.
Finding the right amount of people are tough.
You know,
we've got urban encroachment that we deal with every day.
You can't do it when it's raining.
You know, too hot, too cold.
We complain about a lotta stuff, but I get that.
But no, it's really, it's challenging.
The workforce, the labor force, it's a challenging thing.
You're eyeing me, you're like, I could put her to work.
Right now. Oh yeah. You betcha!
And to work we went.
I got to see firsthand
how they harvest these delicious and delicate berries.
We like saying, "Picked at the peak of ripeness." This is it.
One harvester can pick
between 7,000 and 10,000 pounds of fruit a day,
so it's a race to get them from the field
to the processing plant.
This particular row's gonna be picked every two days,
two and a half days, two and a quarter days,
depending on the quality we're seeing, what we're seeing.
Has this already been picked today?
This one has. Yes.
They missed one.
I'm gonna eat that one.
So the ground speed is usually set to one mile an hour.
No two days are the same, though.
We try to fill eight, nine, ten pound flats.
Once the shakers get the right berries off the bush,
they sort out as many of the stems as they can by hand.
Then the flats are stacked, unloaded,
and sent to the processing plant.
All of this is made possible
because of the dedication and teamwork of nearly 160 employees
that they have during harvest.
That's a real enjoyable part of this job,
is working with the people.
If you treat your people well, take care of them well,
they're gonna stay.
And when you have people that stay for 25 to 30 years,
you know, in the hard days,
it lets you know you're doing something right.
The community is a family.
The community's family,
meaning from my kids growing up working on the farm
to high school kids, college kids
helping build that relationship
between what they're gonna to see in the future, which is work
and what they're gonna eat every day.
I love what I do, I really do.
How many years will a raspberry cane produce fruit?
Stay tuned, we'll have the answer right after this.
Coming up, I'll be in the Lynden Dutch Bakery kitchen
making their signature raspberry pie.
You gotta have muscle to do this.
That's why she's doing it.
And we'll be in the Second Harvest kitchen
trying out a viewer's raspberry recipe
that her mother would approve of.
How many years does a raspberry cane produce?
The answer is one.
We're back to Lynden
for the sweet treats at Lynden Dutch Bakery.
With over 100 years of history,
this bakery's traditional Dutch goods
are loved by the community.
It's warm, it's welcoming,
you can smell all the pastries, and it's really hard to choose.
There's cupcakes, donuts, cookies and pies.
There's pretty much nothing in there
over there that I'm not like, "Yes!"
This bakery started out
to actually make a lot of Dutch, original Dutch treats
that people were missing from home.
Lynden is one of the best berry growing regions in the world,
so their fresh berry pies are second to none.
We like to pride ourselves on the place the farmers come
to sample their own product in a finished form.
And today, baker Jodi Burger and I are doing just that.
What are we gonna do?
Fresh raspberry pie.
Sounds awesome!
Yes.
So what is the first step?
We will start by making our glaze.
Okay.
So if you want to add the Jello to the gel.
We also add red food coloring and water to the bowl
and then whisk it instantly to avoid lumps.
So how long have you been a baker here?
For seven years.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
You gotta have muscle to do this.
That's why she's doing it.
Today, we're using delicious Lynden raspberries for our pie,
but Jodi uses different berries when they're in season.
We do all the berries.
We first start with strawberry and we move to raspberry,
then blueberry and then blackberry.
Nice.
Jodi pours the mix into hot water.
Then she measures out ingredients for the pie dough.
So we have margarine and flour ready to go,
so I'm gonna just get it mixing.
Then Jodi adds the eggs and vinegar and mixes it on high.
And then while that's mixing,
I want to mix up our cream cheese
for the bottom layer of our pie.
What's next?
Alright, so now we will roll out some pie dough for crust.
Pat it down.
Flip it around.
This is awesome dough.
Yeah. It's nice and soft.
It feels really good. Yeah.
Keep going until you've got somewhat of a round.
So you just take it and put it in the pan.
Put two more pans on top of it.
And you just put one more on top.
Press it down a little bit, and you just take it...
How easy is that!
Awesome!
And those'll cook for?
It's takes about like 25 minutes.
Okay.
So our crust is out of the oven.
Okay.
So we are going to go ahead and
Mine's the better looking one.
No, they're both good.
We're gonna go ahead and spread some cream cheese on it.
Okay.
Then we start to layer our raspberries with the glaze.
This is fun.
Feel like a kid again.
Yeah, totally!
Spread and cover all the berries.
How many do you make a day?
I usually do about 15 per day.
Wow.
The weekend's it's a lot more.
We mound about six containers of raspberries on to our pie.
So many berries.
Beautiful.
Yeah?
Oh, yes.
You're hired.
I'm hired, yeah.
We then smooth our final layer of glaze on top.
This is harder than it looks!
This in one of the hardest things I've done on this show!
There.
Alright. Perfect.
Done! You did it!
That's as good as it's gonna get.
After the pies cool, we pipe on some whipped cream.
Mine's lookin' a little different, but it's alright.
All good.
It's a little avant-garde.
Perfect.
There.
Awww, mine needs a little help!
I may not be an expert baker,
but I have no trouble tasting this mini pie.
If you don't want a big pie, you can have a little mini pie.
Okay, so let's dig in.
I can't wait to try this.
That is delicious,
but it's not overpoweringly sweet or anything.
No, it's not.
Those raspberries are so delicious.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome.
For helping me.
Yes, of course.
Thank you for coming.
It's delicious.

for Lynden Dutch Bakery's fresh raspberry pie,
go to wagrown.com.
Did you know that Washington State
grows 60% of the red raspberries in the U.S.?
In 2016, there were 77 million pounds of red raspberries
grown in Washington.
You can have them in jams, salads, baked goods, ice cream,
or just plain off the bush.
One of my favorite ways to use raspberries is in a marinade.
Combine them with ginger, sesame, and a touch of soy sauce
to make a yummy glaze.
Our produce manager Ralph, has some tips
for the best ways to store these delicious berries.
The best way to store your raspberries
is in their containers, in the front of the refrigerator,
so you don't forget 'em.
And then when you're ready, just take 'em out,
wash 'em in the container and serve 'em, and there you go.
I love to eat raspberries just right out of the container.
It can also be fun to try different colors of raspberries,
like purple, black or golden.
They vary in sweetness and flavor, but are all delicious.
I mean, think about it, golden raspberry jam.
Mmmm! Does it get much better than that?
Coming up, Tomás is on the streets
with a peanut butter and jelly burger.
The bacon, the jelly, the peanut butter,
it just goes all together.
Hey, let's go!
Original, daring, and creative!
These are just a few words
that describe the flavors stacked high on Stacks burgers.
Hey everybody, I'm here with Aaron,
General Manager of Stacks.
Now you guys are cooking up some pretty cool burgers
here at Stacks, that right?
Oh yeah.
Aaron and his team of burger architects
think up creations that you won't soon forget.
The team comes together, they put together their ideas,
and then we talk about those things
and then we try to build the burgers from that.
So tell me about The King, then.
The King, let's see,
it came from an old General Manager we used to have here.
He wanted to do something that was Elvis Presley based.
Okay.
And so he came up with the peanut butter and jelly,
pickle combination.
This award-winning King burger is made of two beef patties,
American cheese, bacon, arugula, and pickles.
And to top it all off,
peanut butter and a special homemade jam
using local Washington grown raspberries.
Everybody that I've ever seen,
they look at it and they're like, "Peanut butter and jelly
on a burger with pickles?"
And I'm like, "You gotta try it to understand. Trust me."
Now I'm not gonna lie, I'm skeptical.
This is good, man!
He needs another one!
Let's see what other people think of this royal burger.
So give that a try.
That's really good!
Would you have ever expected that to taste so good?
No I did not.
Actually, no.
It's delicious.
It's like a nice, savory flavor.
The peanut butter really hits.
And then when you get towards like the center
and you taste that raspberry jam, you just hit it all good.
The bacon, the jelly, the peanut butter,
it just goes all together.
You do taste the peanut butter and the jelly,
but it's not overpowering.
So you would order that?
Yes I will, honestly.
I would order this.
Yes, definitely king!
I'm visiting the Country Mercantile in Pasco,
where owner Jay Wood
is giving me an insider's look at this food-lover's wonderland.
We're in the produce part of it,
which is just a small part of it.
Small part of it.
But it's busy isn't it?
Yep, it is. This is a great time of the year
because they have so much produce
that's coming off right now, and it's all wonderful.
One of the comments that we always get is,
"They have everything!"
It started out just as a little fruit stand, and we added,
and added, and added,
so now, we make our own ice cream.
Of course,
we make our own chocolate and the deli is second to none.
And then you got all this other stuff,
you know we have all our local gourmet foods,
and we have a lot of variety of gourmet food.
Most of it is sourced right close here.
What do people say
when they come and they get Washington grown,
straight from the fields basically, produce?
Well they just can't get any better.
Most of it is just vine-riped.
Yeah.
And when you get it vine-riped,
you just taste it and you see the difference.
We source everything we can right here.
If I don't grow it,
I get my neighbors and everybody else that I know,
that I know how they grow it,
and consequently have really, really good produce.
Do you have anything here that features your raspberries?
Yeah, well, I love raspberries. I really love raspberries,
just the flavor and everything to go with the syrups,
and jams, and jellies.
Raspberries is a little bit like chocolate.
If you put chocolate on it, it's awesome!
You put raspberries on it,
Whatever you have on it
awesome.
And raspberries are the same way.
You could put raspberries with anything,
and it makes it better.
I asked Jay to show me around
so I can see all these products firsthand,
and boy, does he give me a tour!
Here's raspberry rhubarb.
Uh, huh.
Syrups,
Yeah.
sauces, salsas, soups, raspberry syrup.
You just can't go wrong with stuff from Washington.
We have all samples of the breads that we make,
plus our spreads.
So I'm gonna try the white chocolate cranberry pecan bread.
Enchiladas, chicken enchiladas, chipotle beef enchiladas.
Yum!
That's dinner right there.
And it's fresh and homemade.
It is, and it is homemade everyday.
I could maybe pull off, I could like pretend that I did this.
I'll just eat my way through the tour, how's that?
This is a chocolate lover's dream.
Well actually, as long as we're sampling our way through,
Okay.
try that.
Look how pretty that is.
That is amazing.
That is amazing chocolate.
That is delicious.
Our caramel apples are different than anybody's caramel apples
because we make our own caramel.
These were just made then, some time today?
Yeah, all of this.
Wow.
We make chocolate every day.
Every day.
Yum, this is with the caramel you make here?
That is good ice cream!
Well Jay, thank you so much.
I don't think I've ever eaten my way through an entire tour
like that before.
It makes it a little more fun.
So yummy! Yeah. Thank you so much.
You bet. Glad to show you around
and show you a little about what this part of Washington
really has. It's the fruit basket
That's right.
and, boy is it good this time of the year.
It is good. Thanks a lot.
You bet.
Tomás and I are at the kitchen at Second Harvest today
and we're joined by Laurent Zirotti,
he's the chef and owner of Fleur de Sel restaurant and creperie.
Thanks for being here!
Ah thank you. My pleasure.
We are the taste-testers...
What a job.
I know. What a job.
We'll do it. We'll do it.
Yeah.
...of the recipes that our viewers have sent in
and so we feature a certain ingredient
and then we made a call-out for recipes
and so we get to do some taste testing.
So we are not going hungry today, definitely.
No, but some people do.
Some people do.
Unfortunately.
Yeah. The Second Harvest food bank is there for so many folks
and I guess one in eight people go hungry
here in the Inland Northwest.
We're in Spokane.
That's too many already.
And one in five children go hungry.
Yeah. That's way too many.
Yeah. And so the food bank here provides a lot of services.
They help people get back on their feet
by providing them with healthy food and taking that cost,
away from the hardships that they're experiencing.
Exactly and when you live on an empty belly,
you don't live well.
No.
Your mind does not go well either,
and it warms up more than
more than the nutrition part of that, you know.
They do a good job.
They reach out to people and they bring more than just food,
they bring their heart out, and it's a great cause.
Second Harvest is a very fantastic cause.
So today we're talking about raspberries.
Nice.
Ooh I love raspberries.
And we have a recipe from Deanna,
and we're talking about fresh raspberries, okay.
And she has a recipe for raspberry pie.
Summer. Summer.
Nice.
Oh so good.
My wife, Patricia, has a few raspberry bushes in the garden
and they cannot...
I mean she cuts and cuts and they all come back!
They go crazy!
Hard to take care of but great to have.
I know. But all summer long,
I mean we eat fresh raspberries all summer long and they are...
You know when you have a great food product like that;
you don't want to mess with it.
No. Fresh!
There's no need to. Yep.
You want to make it as simple as possible
and I think that pie is what it is.
Yeah. We went up to Lynden.
Oh yes.
Way up by the Canadian border
but they have a great bakery there, the Lynden Dutch Bakery,
and I got to make fresh raspberry pie.
And their fresh raspberry pie is like that high.
That thick.
And it's like layers of whipped cream, and fresh raspberries,
and like a raspberry gelatin kind of sauce that goes on top.
Take me there!
I know. It was so good!
Well we've got a recipe here today
that's going to fill that need.
From whom?
From Deanna.
From Deanna.
We're gonna see how this pie is made.
So raspberry pie is my favorite.
It looks great.
I know. Well, you know, I think it beats American apple pie.
Well let's see. Let's find out.
We'll see.
I don't know.
Those raspberries are great.
I love, you talk about, you know, being tart.
It's tart. I like it.
Yeah.
And that balances very well with the sugar.
You know, it's like when you do a rhubarb dish,
you don't want to put too much sugar.
This is perfect. There's not too much sugar.
The crust is very good.
Yes. It's light.
And this wasn't a very complicated recipe,
which is so nice.
No it's really simple.
Yeah.
Just a few simple ingredients and it's delicious.
And you're sure to impress.
This looks great.
Oh yeah.
It's fantastic.
We love it.
Thank you, Deanna.
Thank you, Deanna.
Thank you, Deanna.

From the field to your fork,
Washington raspberries will never disappoint.
That's it for this episode of Washington Grown.
Thanks for watching.

Greece should have said no to the Macedonian name change The Washington Post
Opinion Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events
Regarding the Jan. 26 The World article :
During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln refused to publicly utter the words the Confederate States of America. He felt it would legitimize the Southern rebellion.
Unfortunately, the government of the Hellenic Republic gave no heed to Lincoln by endorsing the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonias name change to the Republic of North Macedonia. The change would be the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonias ticket to join the European Union and NATO.
Greek opponents of the agreement say it would embolden other Balkan players to follow the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonias example and press their own irredentist claims to Greeces northernmost state, where Greek speaking people have lived for at least 3,000 years, compared with the migration of Slavic people only 1,000 years ago.
Indeed, just days after the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonias prime minister, Zoran Zaev, reached agreement in principle on the name change with the Greek prime minister, he declared: Macedonia is a geographic region of the Balkans. We now have the north, eastern Macedonia is in Bulgaria, the west is in Albania, and the south belongs to the Greeks. He retracted the statement after Greece threatened to cancel the deal.
The Greek Parliament should have said no to the agreement and sent the message that there is only one Macedonia.

This is the greatest blunder of Trumps presidency The Washington Post - Duration: 3:13.
This is the greatest blunder of Trumps presidency The Washington Post
There is no way around it: President Trump lost.
He lost his gamble on shutting down the government. And though he will pretend otherwise, he has also lost his grandiose plan to build a border wall that most of the country does not want.
Trump walked away with nothing more than an assurance from congressional Democrats that they will sit down with Republicans for three weeks and try to come up with a border security plan that both parties can agree upon. Theres a reasonable chance they will come up with a solid proposal. But theres just as much likelihood that Trumps dream for a wall will die a quiet death there.
Nonetheless, this is the consequence of Trumps obsession with satisfying the red hatted, nativist throngs who chanted build the wall at so many of his rallies.
Not only do 6 in 10 Americans now disapprove of the job that the president is doing, but his party has also lost the 10 point edge it once held over the Democrats on the question of which party to trust on border security, according to .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi D Calif. has shown that she better than Trump understands the art of the deal in Washington. She is the one who succeeded in building a wall — and Trump ran right into it.
Now, as Trump surveys the shambles that his greatest blunder has made of his presidency, the question is whether he and the Republicans learned anything from the five week calamity that they caused. Will his party be as willing to follow him the next time he leads them toward the edge of a cliff?
If there is even a thin silver lining to the travesty of the longest ever government shutdown, it is this: The Republicans slander of public servants has been exposed for what it is.
When the shutdown began, conservative pundits assured themselves that few Americans would notice or care, because only a quarter of the government was not being funded. By its final day, there was turmoil at airports, at the Internal Revenue Service and countless individual stories of federal workers who were forced to find sustenance at food pantries and face agonizing choices between whether to pay for heat or medicine this month. In the Post ABC poll, 1 in 5 people said they had personally been affected by the shutdown.
The as pampered, overpaid, Washington bound bureaucrats has been around for many years. Republicans have long portrayed them as the enemies of reform and efficiency.
But Trump targeted them as no one did before. From his earliest months in office, he and his allies have portrayed those who dedicate their lives to serving their country as the corrupt, subversive deep state — the bottom feeders of a swamp in need of draining.
As the shutdown began, Trump first made the absurd suggestion that 800,000 government workers were happy to give up grocery and rent money for a construction project on the U.S. Mexico border that would stand as a monument to the presidents vanity. Then he contradicted himself that declared it was largely his political enemies who were feeling the pain: Do the Dems realize that most of the people not getting paid are Democrats?
Where a little empathy might have been in order as the shutdown continued, Trumps team revealed a callousness that would have made Marie Antoinette blush.
Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett said furloughed workers should be celebrating the fact they were getting time off without having to use vacation days. In some sense, theyre better off, he Commerce Secretary , a billionaire who pads around in custom made , expressed bewilderment that federal workers would go to food banks instead of taking out a loan from a bank or credit union. And , the presidents daughter in law, dismissed their ordeal as a little bit of pain, but its going to be for the future of our country.
So it was noticeable that when Trump made his Rose Garden announcement Friday that the government was opening again, he began it by who had displayed extraordinary devotion in the face of this recent hardship. You are fantastic people. You are incredible patriots.
On that point, Trump was absolutely right. Government employees have shown they are all that and more. Which is why they deserve much better than a chief executive who would wager so recklessly with their lives and their livelihoods.
