Steve Selin knows where to look — and he seeks that bounty out in his role as cider maker at South Hill Cider. Although Selin owns a small orchard just outside of downtown Ithaca, he also spends time searching the hedgerows and forests around his part of the Finger Lakes for wild apples to use in his cider.

Close to getting in for a year ago for exactly the same reasons. i find this such an incredibly exciting time and a precarious time as well. the appetite for solutions equal to the challenges that we face, whether its climate change or income inequality is higher than it has been, greater than it has been in -- i can think of few other times in my lifetime. and trying to be a part of system change where we really get at root causes, thats enormously appealing to someone with a reformers instinct...

Primary. your party has moved to the left. how do you explain feeling at home at bane? >> first of all i love that the party has moved to the left. i love that we are the party of the woke. i believe that we also have to be the party of the still waking. and i have always conducted my personal life and my business life and my life as a civil rights lawyer, my life as an advocate, my wife as a mediator and as a governor that way and why. its not because i am trying to smooth over issues. i am int...

Putting in place. they are ignoring the reality of the climate science and the data that their own administration is putting in front of them. my personal belief is that it is to make an immigration crisis on the southern border that doesnt need to happen. if you want to stop migration to the united states to guatemala, go there and address the problem. during the obama administration they had $750 million to address what was going on in central america to address root causes. some can be law en...

And thats why im running for u.s. congress. >> primarily, you are a gun control or gun safety advocate, congressman rush voted for and the house passed the background check bill. co-sponsor of the ban bill. introducing the licensing bill. on the issue of gun safety, what would you do that congressman rush is not already doing? are there ideological differences? >> thank you so much for that question. our campaign is about ending everyday gun violence, gun violence that we experience in my hometo...

Stuff, dont accept this -- these things and we should be focusing on that and it requires us to step up and speak out when we need to. >> because your congressional district has the longest border with mexico right there. what are you hearing from your constituents? >> i represent 29 counties, 820 miles of the border, 71% are latino district. the crisis were dealing with along the border, these are the conversations we should be having rather than talking about whether or not where somebody is o...

Believe wed come to a day when we hear the president say these kind of things? >> well, wolf, i thought i was coming on to talk about immigration and asylum and how we address root causes, right, not having to talk about whether the leader of the free world is a racist or not. and ultimately this is not one of the areas i thought i would be talking about. but you know what, i represent a 23rd district and ive learned to be honest and treat people with respect and that is what i will continue to ...

A symptom of a larger problem in the triangle. we need to address those root causes. its a fraction of the cost to do it there before it gets to our border. you know, we need to have a senior diplomat thats coordinating efforts in those three countries, making sure all of the federal entities, like usaid, state department, inl, all of these folks are putting resources and funds into this part of central america that is coordinated on a broader effort. and we need to be including the rest of the ...

>> i think what they were saying is that the president -- i hate to say this about the president of the united states, but he lies and necessary fast with the -- with half-truths at the end of the day. >> but should the democrats not have undercut this basically saying there is no crisis here? >> i dont think anybody has suggested there isnt a challenge at the southern border, there is. but that comes from a lack of a central american policy to deal with root causes. why do people flee and take ...
