by a town hall attendee about confusing claims of native american ancestry. she apologized. she admitted that she had made a mistake. but then she went on to go into more information about housing and affirmative action, which at that point i felt like she was starting to pander to me instead of giving me an honest answer about where she had made a mistake. reporter: and today we have a better idea of how campaigns are using all their donations. politico pulled some of the most notable records in financial forums finding at one point joe biden spent $12,000 on paella, and beto o rourke, $328 on minor league baseball. so if you think your donation to your favorite candidate is just funding campaign mailers and bumper stickers, you d be wrong. julie? julie: all right. must have been really good
conspiracy. he didn t indict anyone on either the conspiracy with the russians or the obstruction. obviously, he made the conclusion, according to the report, that he couldn t go forward with an indictment of the president. he could have done a lot of other people and charged them with obstruction and didn t. so republicans on the flip side will ask, when did you know that there was not a conspiracy charge moving forward in this report? was it before the midterm elections? that will be a big question. then they ll ask, probably won t get answers, on the beginning of the probe and how it all started. julie: this is gonna be good stuff. you re going to be watching it from d.c. we ll be watching you watching this. i can t wait. just to be sure, we are covering, starting at 8:00 a.m., martha mccallum and i will be anchoring this coverage. julie: there were people who thought we wouldn t.
set number of millions of workers, but we all lose millions of jobs because lot of these businesses, small businesses can t afford it. julie: so then what would be a reasonable rate hike? $7.25, that s been the minimum wage for way too long. people do need a raise. but how much can we afford? i m one of those people that has a southern boy mentality. i understand your rate is effective as you are. i can t give you a hard core dollar amount but what i can tell you is this. people can start to feel economic growth if they follow the plan that i teach. get yourself out of debt. get yourself on a budget and have an emergency fund. when you get out of debt, you give yourself a raise. we can move the minimum wage to whatever number. until people learn the skills of how to effectively manage money, they re never gonna feel the real progress. julie: talking ab saving, an ap poll coming out saying people are leary about retiring. many people don t feel secure in their funds and their savi

that the people who didn t read it, and there are a lot of americans who didn t, can see and hear what they say is extremely significant and definitely on the russian interference and what they did accomplish. there s a lot of concern about that. julie: house speaker nancy pelosi apparently s got a big plan. she s laying it out in a six page memo that she s going to be sending out to democrats today. basically issuing a directive that she wants to continue this mueller report into the fall. so they re not done with this yet. whether or not they get what they want out of mueller, they are not done with mueller. they are not laying this to rest. why don t you tell us what this is about? it s about continuing this pitch. they believe they can try to instruct the american people on the road to impeachment. it s a dangerous road, because the american people, at some point, if push comes to shove and the case is not made, will make a determination as you head
