and arizona state university. our goal was to provide a framework for rebuilding history and civics learning for all learners k-12. what exactly is in this? the first and most important thing is it offers an inquiry framework, a review of the question that all learners k-12 have a chance to encounter as they work to bring together the historical understanding of narratives about the past and civics understanding about our government, institutions, the foundations of democracy, right and responsibility. bringing them together rather than giving people a list of what they should know, proposing questions every learner should have a chance to those questions are structured in 7 themes. i want to name those themes because it is important to understand what they are to understand the focus of the question. physics participations one. what is the? why do we evaluate it? the changing landscape. how is it the geography of this country is changing our borders and boundaries, how have we come to be? we the people, how to th

i understand that you see the region that includes arizona. as you probably know, we have a visitor access issue at the lake in glen canyon national park. mr. chairman, i have a letter from the mayor of the city of page, arizona, that i ask you to be added to the record. >> without objection. >> it talks about closure of boat ramps due to the declining water levels. he reports that visitors cannot launch any boats from the southlake -- from southlake powell. drought conditions in the west have cost the nation to lose access to one of the largest reservoirs in the nation. if this continues unmitigated, it could crush the economy of page, arizona. this is certainly an engineering issue. if the ramp does not reach the water, the ramp is unusable. i get that. but what is the park service are doing to rehabilitate or extend the ramps at southlake powell? >> thank you, senator. we are aware of the mayor's letter said thank you for having that in the record. our superintendent is working closely with the mayor and i understand your staff as well for

. >> i was on the floor of the house helping to defend the voters of arizona to a challenge to their electors while you were out trying to keep a violent mob from invading the i know how many workers work in this congress, food service workers, clerical staff. you saved them as well, so they also owe you a debt of gratitude. i do realize that ultimately the rioters breached the capitol, but the time that you kept them out really made a tremendous difference. you saved the day. you saved the constitution and it made a tremendous difference for our country. officer dunn, i did hear you about the need for additional help. i want to pledge to you that we will work with the capitol police to make sure that the mental health unit has the resources the officers need. i'll make that pledge to you right now. i'd like to ask sergeant gonell. not everyone knew that you were fighting in the hall on the lower west terrace on january 6th. can you tell me what happened in that hallway? while you were there, metropolitan police arrived to help you out. what difference did that make? >> sure, ma'am.

adrian montez served as county recorder for maricopa county, arizona. the second largest voting jurisdiction in the united states, representing over 2.5 million active voters and approximately two-thirds of arizona's population from 2017-2020. this position was the most recent in a long list of his service to his community and country. from 1992 to 1996, he served on active duty in marine corps and thank you for that service, and meritorious commission. and after being honorably discharged bachelors before turning to the sterm county of law in denver after law school served as a prosecutor with denver district attorney and worked in the maricopa county attorney's office and headed the foorn prosecution unit. he was elected to the maricopa recorder where he served four-year term implementing national award winning systems and procedures to serve for maricopa county elections even amid the immense personal safety challenges posed on the election administration by the covid-19 pandemic. he remains a resident of maricopa county where he's raising his three

in the case against arizona, justice alito's opinion stated, one legitimate state interest is the prevention of fraud. fraud can affect the outcome of an election and fraudulent votes dilute the right of citizens to cast ballots. fraud can undermine public confidence in the fairness of elections and to perceive but -- with jenna of the outcome. he also noted that in merely implementing voting regulations such as roasted increase ballot integrity does not equal discrimination. that is what my democratic colleagues continue to misconstrue. unfortunately these election some version is part of their plan and continued push to nationalize our elections, creating the false narrative that states are passing racist laws to incorrectly justify the need for hr1 and s1 and hr4. it is false and offensive. our country has come along way since the passage of the voting rights act of 1965. i think that is important to recognize and remember the history behind the need for that legislation and celebrate the progress that we have made all while recognizing the ongoing importance of section two to ensure that

because fox news reported arizona way ahead of the biden winning arizona. they obviously knew he won arizona when it was showing w trump was way ahead at the time for it cannot be about the ballots. fox already had arizona ahead. so who gave that order? that is what i would like to know. >> guest: well there was no order for the immediate to report this one way or the other. news organizations, fox news to the associated press had put years of research and millions of dollars into the technology to project winners and get it right. his reputation of news organizations on these organizations. not only to be first but to be correct. getting too far deep in the woods here. the projections, trends, how many ballots are left? where they're moving a lot has been written on this. and these news organizations go out of their way to explain their methods and their procedures for making these calls for. >> mlb has a question for you on twitter going back to the description of called into the white house for an interview with the president. they say it michael bender

finally, the senator from arizona and i i didn't deuced the bipartisan border solutions act, as you know, mr. chairman, which helped restore order to the border region by establishing a regional processing centers and high traffic areas and by prioritizing migrants asylum claims in the immigration courts. so i hope the committee will not shy away from addressing the crisis on the south west border which i think will be an absolutely essential element of any immigration reform that ultimately can pass congress. i look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to advance bipartisan immigration and border security solutions. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator feinstein asked for a moment for opening statement. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i appreciate this. this is a really important bill for california. it's estimated that we have about 280,000 people that would be affected by it. and last year, as you may know, mr. chairman, i did a bill that dealt with this. but it didn't go anywhere. and this year the house has passed this bill. and i really think it has meri

we have similar examples all over arizona where this cleanup needs to -- we've got to do better. there are four abandoned uranium mines, four out of 500 that's unacceptable, thank you. >> acute senator. senator markey. >> thank you for having with us. very important hearing. in farmville justice populations been burdened over and over again i pollution, and designed neglected not benign neglect designed neglect. as discussed by professor toledo it is critically important to address not only individual sources of pollution but the cumulative impacts of each alongside socioeconomic conditions. in drafting the environmental justice a mapping and data collection act, senator duckworth and i worked closely with environmental justice advocates to create a framework for eight federal method to map these cumulative impacts and ensure communities that are most at risk for environmental injustices are prioritizes we address the climate crisis. professor toledo and mrs. flowers would you agree it is important to consult with communities in the process of creating these maps as well as addre

private equity substantially reduced the eviction filings in nevada and arizona earlier this year. eviction isn't a foregone conclusion but the decision that landlords even large corporate landlords make. we applaud the subcommittee for initiating investigations into multiple landlords that have each filed hundreds of actions especially since these actions may displace thousands of residents and may remain on the record for years. it could impact the housing into the future. organizations violating the moratorium may be subject to a fine of over $200,000 for violation. the subcommittee should recommend action by the department of justice to seek penalties from landlords that violated the eviction moratorium. in addition the subcommittee should specifically assess whether any landlords violated the civil rights by disproportionately filing to evict black renters or others of color. .. >> and then to make it tighter and tighter the home is not in the greatest condition but livable. although i occasionally had money that was tight and never had eviction problems and in 2020 i lost my

. >> thanks to each one of you and your colleagues the voters of arizona to a challenge to their electors while you were out trying to keep a violent mob from invading the capital. thank you for your tremendous courage and stamina and heroism not just for myself. i'm sure the house administration committee and i know how many others work in this capital to the staff and to the members of congress, but the food service workers who were present and clerical staff. you saved them as well so they also owe you a debt of gratitude. i do realize that ultimately, the rioters breached the capital, but the time that you kept them out made a tremendous difference you saved the constitution and it made a tremendous difference for our country. about the need for additional help and i want to pledge to you that we will work with the capital police to make sure that the resources and the mental health and have the resources officers need. i will make that pledge right now. i would like to ask sergeant gonell, you were fighting in the hallway near the lower left terrace on january 6th. can you tell me wh

this agency oversees 12 different -- or 12 million acres of public land in arizona, 48 million in -- acres of land in nevada, eight million in montana. it's like that all across the west. included in the land that it manages is almost 65 million acres of federal forests. the bureau is also responsible for hundreds of millions of acres of mineral land below the surface. it's critical to america's energy independence because a lot of energy is under those lands. tracy stone-manning has no business leading this agency, none whatsoever. she helped plant a tree spiking in one of our country's national forests. she sent a threatening letter to the united states forest service about it. she did not cooperate with federal investigators, blocked the investigation, only testified when she received immunity and lied to our committee about it. there is bipartisan concern about this nomination. i will tell you bob abbey, who was president obama's bureau of the bureau of land management said her actions should disqualify her. president obama's nominee to run that bureau. bob knows her involvement

everybody knows he won arizona, but he actually lost arizona. he continued to claim that the election had been stolen from him and that there was this widespread fraud, the evidence for which has really never surfaced or been produced. it was a revealing capstone i think to our investigative reporting process, but by the time we went down there to hear what he had to say, we had already talked to 140 of the people who worked closest with him, so we had a pretty good sense of what the reality was and where the truth lie. >> did you challenge him on what his aides and what his friends and what his cabinet secretaries told you? >> you know, in that interview, we often let donald trump talk and tell us his view. we wanted to hear his world view, but there were many times we said sir, you know -- there wasn't hugging and kissing, you know. he argues on january 6th, many of the protesters storming the capitol were part of a loving crowd and there was a lot of hugging and kissing, and we definitely questioned him, but, you know, the purpose of this int

danny is a republican from arizona. good morning to you, danny. go ahead. caller: how are you? host: doing well. your thoughts this morning? caller: yes, ma'am, the so-called select committee is a sham, for one thing. and i want to know if it will come out, who was the person that killed that young lady at the capitol that day. thank you. host: ok, shelley, louisiana, republican line. caller: good morning. the way i feel about this is they have two republicans on their committee and both have been overtly against trump, openly, said very poor things about him. so, it's not surprising they let those two republicans on but that they wouldn't accept the choice of the republican leader, mccarthy. to think that it's anything other than something that would lead dishonest and used for political purposes is just to be fooled. you are having the wool pulled over your eyes if you believe that. host: kevin mccarthy is giving a news conference this morning at 8 a.m., at the top of the hour. we will have coverage of that on c-span two and he will have with him the republican members that h

that's what joseph scalia wrote in the arizona case. >> secretary adams, beforeou respond, you noted in your testimony that you were testifying today primarily about politics. in other words, whether congress should pass election legislation. r the sake clarity, when it comes to the narrow legal of whether congress can pass legislation and that's what my first question is about, would you agree the elections clause is the broad and expansive authority to regulate congressional elections, putting aside policy concerns? >> it's kind of a subjective question with a subjective answer. there were certain things congress can do. there are guardrails in our constitutional system. we are a system of dual sovereignty, the states and congress. we see in supreme court decisions congress cannot require states to >> >> if i could finish my ansr. congress can tell the states to do in coming due them, required to do certain things in exchange. if you're asking if i think we have seen it -- significant authority, i think we do. >> mail-in voting? >> i can't tell you. >> a moment ago, you mentioned t

manner to conduct congressional elections and the most recent was justice scalia opinion for justices in arizona versus intertribal council in 2013 where he referred to the broad and comprehensive scope of congress is elections clause power. the remainder of my testimony i provide background what the elections clause means and how that has been construed by the supreme court. >> the elections clause allow states for conduct of congressional elections but only so far as congress to clients to preempt legislative choices —- justice scalia claimed this grant wonders assurance against the possibility that states would try to undermine the union by either failing to have procedures for congressional elections are those that were inadequate in the federalist papers the state legislatures would annihilate that by neglecting to provide for the affairs. congress has exercised the broad power to regulate repeatedly to the apportionment act in the post- civil warnd enforcement act and more recently togi the national voter registration act. i will not go through all of the precedents toon support these an

because fox news reported arizona way ahead of biden winning arizona. they obviously knew he won arizona when it was showing trump was way ahead at the time. it cannot be about the ballots because of fox arizona head. so, who gave that order? that is what i would like to know. >> there was no order for the media to report this one way or the other. news organizations, fox news to the associated press had put two project winners get it right. the entire reputation on these decisions. how many ballots are left, a lot has been written on this. in the news organizations brought a way to explain their methods and procedures for these calls with. >> call for youal on twitter with the description of being called into the white house with an interview with the president. they say you are a journalist for that cannot think a bigger complement to give a living in today's political scene. breathe left on in the office waiting for the president oray be in the middle of a rally? >> when this movement was fresh and brand-new for all of us were i made sure when i got

when he was lashing out into the late john mccain, a hero in his state, he brought his when in arizona saying he didn't lose because he criticized mccain and began talking about what an awful person he was, how he was a flip-flop or that nobody could rely on many people who agreed and rightfully so was one of the president's best lieutenants. most loyal, most in the weeds of getting donald trump reelected. he was ecstatic to describe to us that bill barr failed him in the end and got worried about media criticism and failed by not doing what he needed to do to investigate and prosecute the allegations of fraud that trump said existed and called nonsense. he finally gets to tell his version of the reality. even if it doesn't stack up with the truth, he gets to say it. >> a lot of the coverage in your book that you've gotten with glowing reviews and you've made news everywhere with this which also is an estimate to how much is there, the idea that a presidency that was reported on so exhaustively for four years and especially in the past year, you were able to get jaw dropping new inform

the territory they took from you in the earlier war and they talked about texas and new mexico and arizona. they did not offer california because germany offer that to the japanese. so a lot of the mexican antagonism and there were two open battles with american soldiers and the mexican government, germany is encouraging the mexicans with money and weapons germany is in the middle of it and mexico and america came very very close to work. open more. mexico never could have one that but america would have to use up the best soldiers in munitions fighting mexico maybe we couldn't get into world war i speaking of world war i that is john j percy who is also a big character in this book along with a very young george patton. describe their roles. into you think pershing learned anything from fighting in mexico compared to europe from a military standpoint quick. >> with the general pershing with my research in this book he was put in an impossible position leading that expedition into mexico. first he is told the public expects you to catch teefour and bring him back if you can't do that at le

stability from jean in phoenix, arizona. go ahead jean. >> good morning. two main items. first c-span files, have people go to eight defender 2020, look under senate hearing committee of all things is under homeland security. in the topic is going to be an hydroxyquinoline. that is one of the items that i believe this book is going to attack. the second thing having to do with the election i think he miscoded from his book, wolf who is a liar. when an audit that went for months the duration went for months having to do with mail in ballots, are you ready for this? biden received 74000 more votes were mailed out the me rephrase that her said that a different way. they mailed out xm of mail in ballots. they received 74000 more ballots for biden them were mailed out. >> michael will forgive your chance to respond with the dig color did call you a liar think it's fair for you to respond to that. >> guest: i have no response. the caller will think what he wants to think. steve went to sam to crystal springs, mississippi. sam is on the republican line go ahead. >> caller: i'm s

in your state, you brought a lawsuit against the company that had an ad in the super bowl when the arizona cardinals were in the super bowl, seen by just about everybody in the state, each viewing of the ad was potentially a violation, you can find each violation, you put that together and have fines that are close to us not over $100 billion and then you come in and say if you buy now you can settle for tens of millions. states do this sort of thing all the thing and it is extraordinarily powerful and extraordinarily effective and i'm surprised it is not being used. departing a little bit but some of you are familiar with the case that came through washington, this woman was selling flowers for this wedding ceremony and was signed by the state and the penalties in that case came because the violation of washington does, nation law is a per state violation and so that is why the penalties were so large. tidying -- a violation of the state consumer to failing to act in good faith, would be a productive path for states to go down. but i think the real concern and productive activity is encou

i consider that an agricultural issue and finally senator sinema the senator from arizona and i have introduced the bipartisan border solution that does youy.o mr. chairman to restore order to the border region by establishing a regional processing centers in away from addressing the crisis on the southwest border which i think will be absolutely essential element of seeking immigration reform that hopefully can pass congress and i look forward to continuing work with my colleagues on immigrationng and border policy solutions. say thank you senator cornyn. senator feinstein has asked for a moment for an opening statement. >> thank you very much mr. chairman i appreciate this is a really important bill for california. it's estimated we have 280,000 people that did the affected by it and last year mr. chairman i didd a bill that dealt with this but it didn't go anywhere this year the house has passed this bill. i really think it has merit and will stand the test of time. it passed the house and marched on a bipartisan vote of two and 47-174. it allows undocumented farmworkers who have

i was in arizona recently, and i was able to visit a school where there wasn't another school for miles and miles and miles, and it just seemed like we needed to make sure that they had everything they needed to be successful there. and a lot of that is really broadband and making sure that devices are working, making sure that they haves access to the same learning -- they have access to the same learning activities that students in more dense areas of our country. so those conversations with those educators and with those mayors and state and federal leaders involve trying to build an infrastructure that can withstand what we experienced before and just make sure that we're looking at the digital do divide in the rearview mirror soon. we have the american rescue plan and the infrastructure plan that can draw on $100 billion in infrastructure which our students need. this isn't -- you know, the internet is not a lofty thing anymore. it's like the new pencil. the device and the internet is needed. it's a require ared tool for learning. -- required tool for learning. so we have to get pa

breakthrough, because a state may have an institution, a state, where a player decides i'm a quarterback in arizona, and i've got my name brand going here. there's no need for me to go to alabama and start fresh. i'll stay here and maybe that program starts to rise. but this notion that we have a level playing field and we need to protect that is an incorrect notion, and again, i just want to reiterate, we need to be careful about being overly paternalistic in treating players like second class citizens and that somehow -- or not able of having the rights of their fellow students or fellow americans. >> thank you. i appreciate your comments. perhaps we set up career counseling centers so people can take advantage of it if they choose, just like we do for all kinds of other majors. thank you for your time. >> thank you. senator cruz? >> thank you, madame chair. doctor, as discussed as considerable length, the states are moving very quickly to establish their own frameworks for name, image and likeness. you state in your written testimony that, quote, conducting college athletics among a patchwork of

now we've got some things going on in arizona and those other swing states that are going to come out and i asked for everyone to call it, all of my citizens that are democrats also to get ready and look at the election audit because not only the audit -- >> what you think is going to happen? >> i think we are going to see undeniable proof that the election was fraudulent. >> you want to react to that? >> i appreciate you providing some context, i fought with the number of people who came from their wives and daughters, friends of mine and people who live in the district who visited the capitol the same way you described, the same as normal trump rallies, w peaceful happy, in terms of support for the trump presidency but also concerned about the election in this particular case, that was the reason for the rally but clearly some people cross the line. who they were and where they came from and that's why we should probably have already concluded an investigation and should have been launched in january. it's become partisan, politicized unfortunately and it continues to be described p

experience inng arizona will be normal for other regions iner the country. 's there are some great lessons to be learned. so first of all our buildings are built that this is a hot climate all built a central air and then to understand we have to provide for comfort but also the structures as well looking at public transit we make sure it is shaded or will be shaded. the infrastructure is already there for some extent and normal way we approach it is very normal so with playgrounds you have the covering to protect from extreme heat so my advice is other municipalities learn from what we done in the region toeg address it. that said we have a long way to go in arizona to make sure we are keeping people safe. the other areas the government could be helpful is to formulate these regional working groups not to be in that competitiveve environment so working with cross purposes those areas within wine region that political will of heat. thank you. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman for five minutes. >> i have no questions and i yield my time. >> thank you you

arizona is one such case where you could be able to provide cooling. even though people are spaced out and you could also have a network of people helping so in our case we have had all sorts of community members step up including a utility company. long-term solutions provide cooling spaces along the way. to provide cooler spaces and handle long-term mitigation adaptations. >> thank you so much for your comments, and i will yield back. >> the chair recognizes mr. kyl mr. kilby for five minutes. >> thank you, for holding this important hearing. i've been toggling back and forth with lots of things going on today so if my question is redundant, i apologize. over seven years ago in my hometown, a water crisis emerged. my hometown is flint michigan. the children were affected by the crisis and exposed to high levels of lead that poses significant health risks particularly in their development. what was not as well-known in the water crisis that there was an outbreak and as a result of the crisis. michigan again is experiencing a surge. the michigan depart

we've seen it in arizona and florida, texas, arizona. but many more state legislatures are moving in this direction, and the voting rights of this nation are at stake because what we're seeing is a deliberate and systematic attempt to make it harder and more difficult to register to vote and particularly for people of color to have this right. it is an attempt to subvert our democracy and attack the lifeblood of our nation. we know in theory that the founders intended that in fact our government, quote, derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. but more than an exercise in theory, this effort is a direct, clear attempt to defend against the tsunami of voter suppression bills now crashing on our nation, and that is why the john lewis voting rights advancement act should be bipartisan. i have no illusions about it being so. but one way or the other, we ought to follow the advice of john lewis, who said, quote, the right to vote is precious, almost sacred. it is the most powerful, nonviolent tool or instrument we have in a d

arizona officials also received word that their medicaid work expectations were being revoked. just a few months ago this administration likewise pulled all work expectations from the states of arkansas, new hampshire, michigan, and wisconsin. indiana's gateway to work program, again, revoked by c.m.s. would have merely asked medicaid recipients to report 20 hours of work or volunteer or school or other activities every month. now this is really important. these community engagement activities are designed to improve quality of life, to improve the quality of the recipient's life over the long term. and to help hoosiers transition from medicaid to full employment. this is what people want. when we think of the american dream, we think of the ability to go out and start a family and be part of a larger community and to be able to meaningfully participate in a nation civic life and to secure a vocation. most would regard the goals of indiana's gateway to work program as commendable. however, according to c.m.s., this program would result in significant coverage losses and harm to

. , moderator trump operated started to tweak a rumor in arizona a large number of trump area ballots were being invalidated because of the use of sharpie markers which was untrue. the truth part was that the trump campaign had no idea what was going on, the campaign's grip on the numbers and structure for reporting, overall information management systems were as chaotic as any recent presidential history. this allowed a large range of outside and unfettered use into the mix and many founding giving prime to him. one of those was obviously rudy giuliani, longtime associate of the president, how did rudy giuliani come back into b postelection in the white house? >> i think a lot of the people around the president, for one thing, they were always trying to get him out so that was one of the priorities the terms white house or the people who flip the president was to keep him out. they didn't trust him because, for a full array of regions was among them. his incredible disorganization, the fact that he would say almost anything the president wanted to hear. essentially is desperation to

it is corruption for the democrats without the open and a complete lie now first off the arizona gop had a historic victory in the supreme court. [applause] so think god with election security lives in arizona so hopefullyha which is all we expect to fight tooth and nail for local control that we have to be reunited as conservatives and republicans to make sure every election is free and fair and we win. this is a complete lie from biden on down if you have any election reform we are racist and trying to oppress voters it is a complete lie. we have to stand up and say democrats are lying. voter id is not racist. it is common sense. [applause] preventing ballot harvesting is not racist it is common sense. preventing illegal immigrants from voting is not racist it ist common sense that your direct corrupt politicians act to make sure in a free and fair election we will when.
