by the message of haywood got to when these two georgia senate races major cabinet confirmations so they can turn out your third-base pre-they made these kind of promises but that's the reason you're hearing so much right now. kennedy: there is a little bit of voter suppression from cindy powell and lynwood going to georgia saying hey guys it don't vote. that was not a strategy either. people were conceived as trump surrogates going yes that this went out everyone this doesn't mean anything, good lord. >> payment to turn up the base up that they're able to do by turning up the promises respect they could to but they didn't get bunch of crazy people on the ground. i am so mad about that. my taxes go up because of those dingbats, i will not forgive any of them. so dave go head and take us home. >> in terms of presidents overpromising just keep things in perspective. george w. bush and his second inaugural address promised to rid the world of tyranny in his second term. and barack obama, i believe barack obama believes see levels need to stop he was elected president prato politicians promi

strong republican leadership in georgia, the united states will win every one of them. without them, you won't. >> sean: governor, this is your last segment with us. what it means to you to be the conservative governor of texas. >> governor abbott: remember this texas like people like beto o'rourke. [boos] so what we have... what we have instead of texas is a battle for the soul of our economy. are we going to be capitalists or socialist? we have seen the socialist agenda with beto o'rourke, fidel castro and people like that. texas must prevail. we must keep texas capitalism. let me do this one last thing, capitalism. not socialism. more people lifted out of poverty than all the socialist program in the history of the world. [cheers and applause] >> sean: i will say this about texas. and it's so telling. if you take a u-haul from california to texas come about $2500. if you take it from texas back to california, it is about $300. you are doing u-haul a favor. i know texas is very inclusive, but if people come from california and new york to texas, i think it is fair to

, the department of justice says it's going to sue georgia because it isn't like it's state election laws. the rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel tweeting and saying new york city admits to counting over 100,000 test ballots, retracting vote totals week after primary election day yet the doj's suing georgia? want to give you a bite at that. we will start with you. >> this is based on the whole idea anytime you have election reform, especially with republicans involved, that it's racist and it's a giant plot to hold down black people and critics like to point of this idea that there was an effort to dehydrate black voters because they can't get water while they are waiting in line to vote. it's absurd. water can be given to them by election officials, that's fine. it's as if donald j. trump is running for president in 2024, he and his campaign staff cannot hand out bottles of water that they vote for donald j. trump within 150 feet of the polls. however if 151 feet away, they can do so. perfectly willing to do so. mrs. anti-electioneering rule that applies to democrats and republicans. it'

we here in georgia have an outreach arm called team agriculture georgia that's specifically aimed to provide outreach to beginning and underserved producers in the state and convenes various arms of usda, from nrcs to rural development to f.f.a. to engage all of them collectively and provide direct outreach. i think some of the challenges with that are certainly funding. it's not just adding additional work to folks on the ground in a are already working really hard and really dedicating funding to, you know, ensure that outreach is effective. of course, this past year has been really difficult for the in-person engagement. those opportunities are really invaluable. mr. lawson: thank you. madam chair, before i yield back, i'll share the almanac with you because it might be before your time. [laughter] chair plaskett: i am not even going to respond to you. [laughter] thank you so much, mr. lawson. ms. cooper, may i ask, the program you talked about in georgia that assists underserved areas, is that an organization that was created by the state or by farmers themselves? and how is that

why is a professor of international affairs at georgia tech university who's joining us now via skype from atlanta? thank you very much indeed for being with us on all the 0. so we're seeing reports of social media being strictly controlled in china and in hong kong. we've seen the determination over the years to stamp out opposition within china. how much is the parties determination to show strength and control undermine, but what appears to be a level of insecurity? yes, that's right. says he peer has gone through a few mutations over the past 100 years from the agent of a soviet union to a peasantry rebellion, and to a ruling partying authoritarian way. and then doing miles that don't as it correctly pointed out, it was kind of a revolutionary veil for world revolution. and after mall, it retreated and reinvented itself to become authoritarian party. but sort of a populist in some ways. but after junk me around and how more problems having accumulating lots of pressure has been building. so i think this is been leadership has decided to bet arm a strengthening authority hearing si

he also proudly served in the georgia army and georgia air national guards for 40 years, retiring as a colonel. through every position he had, he worked better -- to better his community and improve the lives of others. one cannot visit georgia's first congressional district without seeing the profound impacts vernon made for his community. my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and all who knew him during this most difficult time. thank you, mr. speaker. and yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from pennsylvania seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to share how the invest in america act, which we just passed, will benefit residents of my district, as well as communities across the country. year after year the u.s. congress has failed to muster the political will to properly fund american infrastructure. state and local authorities don't have

section 2 is the premise in which in what we're seeing right now that the doj is going to sue georgia. what is the point of the law where we're focusing on preserving the culture that many folks, many of the indigenous community in arizona, they have post office boxes. they're not in reservations, where they are located. look at the economic disparity between that community. the extremely disheartening, disappointing. i'm not quite surprised, what was interesting to me was in the actual oral argument you had the state saying this -- if we allow this to happen, this gives an advantage of the democrats. the bottom line is that i think this is the case that beyond the partisanship even though it was the dnc that brought this case, it's really around equal and adequate access to the ballot and we know some communities have a different set of barriers. i think the supreme court should be expanding access to voters so we have free and open access to voting. it is disconcerting. >> melissa, would you characterize this as a gutting of the voting rights act? >> i would, at least what was left

because just last week the department of justice challenged the new law in georgia. the new vote restrictions in georgia. and i think they knew this was coming from the supreme court. so they did not use the part of the law about discriminatory effects. they used the part of the law that says laws cannot be passed with discriminatory intent. but again, it is important to point out, the supreme court has narrowed the definition of intent as well. made it harder to prove discriminatory intent. and if the broader message of the shelby county case eight years ago, this case today, is that the supreme court is going to make it hard to use the voting rights act. so the chances of success of the department of justice case that was filed against georgia last week, it's not directly effected by the result today, but atmospherically it sure is and i would say the attempt to use the courts to stop voting restrictions is gotten harder today and that is going to effect georgia as well. >> jeffrey, hold tight. we have other breaking news. i want to get your reaction to this hour a

look at georgia? i think part of what happened in georgia, the reason there are two democratic senators from georgia, at least in part is because the state me a restrictions to voting, and the democratic party and democratic voters stood up and said we're going to vote. >> and the question is, and i go through this all the time with maps where the states did the restrictions and the big midterm races are. what do we know the impact on 2022 in a midterm election where certain states with big senate races or vulnerable house districts, the ones that decide? do they keep the house, the senate? both holding just by strings right now? >> well, look, i think democrats recognize that they need to do a serious education with campaign with their voters so people are aware not only of this as an issue that could galvanize voters but how they can cast their ballot given the restrictions. as phil pointed out, they don't have a lot of plays, cards to play here. it's not nothing feels like it's going to move in con

would there be new election laws in georgia taking place today? >> i believe so because for many years when i ran actually in 2018 i said we need to move away from signature match and move tors an objective measure like driver's license number. what was adapted in sp-202 is similar to what they're using in minnesota for absentee ballot voters. that's good solid election reform. >> okay. is taking away the powers of your office good solid election reform or response to what happened in the 2020 election? >> well, removing me as the chairman of the state election board, the decision the general assembly made, not one i supported but at the end of the day i do believe making sure we have accountability to counties that continually fail because we have had one county at least since 1993, fulton county has had massive failures every single election. people not just in fulton county are waiting for those results but actually people across the entire state because it represents about 11% of our total voting population. >> well, i appreciate you putting i

you have what is going on in georgia with mr. speakerors there that are seeking to investigate criminally whether donald trump tried to subvert the election by putting pressure on officials in those phone calls in the days after the election in 2020. there are a number of things that donald trump is facing. yet, he is still consideration very publicly musing about the potential for 2024 presidential run. from a political perspective, we know based on the numbers that we've seen over the last five years that the people who are in thinks base are largely going to remain in his base and that questions about any legal potentially or ethical issues related to donald trump are in effect baked in. there is a sense among those who back donald trump and i'm not saying anything regulatory. he is being prosecuted by the liberal media and prosecutors. that is something he is taking to heart and continuing to push at this point. by and large they have stul stuck with donald trump. we're seeing that unfold now. but what happens with some of th

>> the court's decision comes just days after the justice department announced its lawsuit against georgia's new election law. >> the department of justice shouldn't be weaponizing this process and punishing states for trying to enact measures that protect voters. >> the doj says today it remains strongly committed to challenging discriminatory election laws. in the court's final opinion of the term, the justices struck down california regulation requiring terminal groups including political organizations to turn over the names of their biggest donors to the state. groups as diverse as the aclu and the heritage foundation joined forces to fight the law, arguing it would quell free speech. chief justice roberts writing for a majority "the risk of a chilling effect on association is enough because first amendment freedoms need breathing space to survive" and though it's being celebrated by nonprofits across the political spectrum, senate majority leader chuck schumer called the ruling a jaw-dropping decision today, making it much harder to expose the evil of dark money in our political system.

the failed georgia gubernatorial candidate. in 2018, she started her campaign with over $200,000 worth of personal debt, personal debt. because that's what you want and charge of your state apostate b.s. finances, someone who can't handle their own pocketbook. she's been raking in the dough, making so much money that she recently purchased a new million dollar home and you add that on top of the $400,000 house she bought in 2019 and she's just a regular real estate mogul. so where did all this money come from? she hasn't been working a 9-to-5, so how do democrats continue to get so rich without really doing much to jones, former democrat now running for governor of georgia joins me to explain. vernon, is there any conceivable way she amassed this type of money this quickly smack >> i think we all know that she's probably been intellectually dishonest. you failed to mention one thing was also. supposing she had all that debt, owned i think $50,000 in state income taxes when she decided to run in 2018 but mysteriously she loaned

this is happening because georgia went blue. republicans understand the numbers are not on their side going forward, nor in the present in those critical states, including texas, which is closer than they would have wanted. they are implementing a plan to restrict voters -- the votes of voters less likely to vote for them. it doesn't matter if you have the best message if your voters don't have access to the ballot box. >> this comes back to the question of using the power you have. this was the lesson of mcconnell and garland and amy coney audac norm. unless you can get manchin and sinema on board for basically majority rule in the senate, 50 votes, to wield the power you have, then you can't wield the power you have. >> maybe we should start lobbying exxonmobile to get them to lobby manchin and sinema. they seem to are more influence. >> can we hire the exxon lobbyist to lobby them? >> that's what the indivisble should do. >> if they believe giving d.c. statehood, getting rid of the filibuster and adding justices would be in t

if you look at what has happened in georgia. you get the sense of that it wasn't just here's what i had unfinished, but i believe this is coming back. this isn't going away for the rest of you that are carrying on. >> absolutely. absolutely. when she passed away, she knew that there were major voting rights casese coming to the court. they already granted one that was another cover to jurisdiction like georgia so a set of laws one of which failed in the preclearance procedure so she was aware of the voting rights changes that had taken place. i think the same can be said about the work that remains to be done on gender rights and reproductive justice. these were issues that were extremely timely then and if anything they've only become more so in the time since she passed away. >> tell me a little bit more about gender discrimination and what cases specifically do you think she was highlighting. one of the things she talks about in the book and the case of materials thatth come in is e importance of women being able to control t

georgia, texas, florida, nevada, and more have all implemented jim crow, 2.0, voters suppression laws. and for de the u. s. supreme court in a 63 opinion uphill. jim crow in rejecting a voting rights challenge to arizona election laws. this is a very important ruling that has reverberating effects for the voting rights movement. were activists like stacy abrams and latasha brown, are working tirelessly to protect voting rights. the supreme court further diluted section 2 of the voting rights act, ensuring that discriminatory and re space law that the state level will continue to determine who can vote. and who can't. well, congress step up and save democracy, core element, or continue the sins of the past and allows things to restrict voting based on race . it's time we start watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city and you want to rush, well let me show you what we always the roy gross, right? math grade the late they make the steps manipulate, so math, put these weapons. so hope we know you're welcome. everybody to watching the hawks. i'm myisha cross. joining

and how that has been changed in georgia. that is being -- they are attempting to change that in texas. that seems to -- seem -- seems, to him, to be one of the scariest elements of this. the way republican legislatures are trying to reach in and put new controls on how they count votes. >> that's exactly right. this is the little, dirty secret in these -- in these voter-suppression laws that we see popping up across the state by these republicans. you know, they want everybody to be outraged about the fact that, you know, they're putting -- they're criminalizing giving somebody a bottle of water. but the real, real rub is that they are trying to make a determination that it's going to be republican legislatures making a determination, on which votes are counted and which are not. lawrence, that -- there is nothing about that is american. that is something that you find in -- in putin's russia. and so, this autocratic mess that we see in the republican party. i don't even recognize this other party. they love to talk about in

is another state that pass restrictive voting laws the justice department is suing the state of georgia to stop what it calls racially discriminatory provisions attorney general merrick garland has said that he will use every legal tool available to protect the right to vote today. the u.s. supreme court also ordered california to stop collecting the names and addresses of top charity donors. the state had been requiring all charities which get money from people living in california to collect the information so that the state irs can identify the largest contributors. but the u.s. supreme court sided with 2 conservative nonprofit groups in a 6 to 3 vote saying that california's policy violates the first amendment adding that none of the information collected should be disclosed to the public. >> the trump organization and its longtime chief financial officer pleaded not guilty today to tax crimes charges. according to the indictment from 2005 through this year. allen weisselberg and the company allegedly cheated. new york city and new york state out of taxes by conspiring to pay senior

fraud in georgia. it is a real issue whether there will be that one big moment or not. the thought that i will leave you with in that regard, is we saw something last week from trump's lawyers that we have seen before. during the mueller report, we saw this effort to say, obstruction of justice is not an important crime. it's just a process crime. he remember that, right? obstruction is not important. last week, we heard trump lawyer saying, this is just fringe benefits stuff. nobody gets charged for fringe benefits. it's not important. now, it turns out we can see this indictment, and we understand this is not just fringe benefits, brian. this is a definitive pattern over 15 years of engaging in tax evasion schemes. for one thing, taking peoples direct compensation, instead of paying them with a check for giving them apartments, cars, other sorts of benefits. they cheated on their taxes to avoid doing that. you get what's wrong with that is a business owner. you don't get to have your of house paid fo

not just use what i didn't finish but here's where we may be going, if you look at what happened in georgia those of the restrictions and i think many people figured out on the voting rights act because we talk about it now and what was done by the supreme court in the sense that i believe this is coming back that this is not going the way for the rest of you that are carrying on. >> absolutely. >> 's when she passed away she knew there were major voting rights cases in the order granted one for this term, case out of arizona another jurisdiction like georgia, a set of laws one of which failed the procedure, she was aware of all voting rights changes in voting law changes that it just taken place, i thought she appreciated a huge issue in the issues that were extremely timely and they've only become more so in the time that she passed away. >> talk to me a little bit about gender discrimination what do you think she was highlighting focusing on work that still needs to be done. >> one of the things she talks about the book and materials that come in that highlights the importance of being a

. >> when georgia was enacted its voter suppression law couple of months ago. i was in a lot of these conversations where people said the law on his face, and i had to remind them that exactly what you said the poll taxes also facially neutral, the literacy test was facially neutral, they knew with the result of it would be. remember the grandfather closet said that you could vote in places like oklahoma if your grandfather was able to vote in 1850, facially neutral, but whose grandparents were able to vote in 1850, black people? no. the idea that this disparate impact kind of happens is so outrageous. and more importantly, chris, this was explicitly referred to in the senate report. it has been recognized by congress that these are the kinds of laws, these facially disparate laws that were supposed to be attacked by section two. and so essentially with the majority does is ignore congress, again. first ignored congress by ignoring the records that were accumulated and now they've gone all the way back to ignore congress in an acting to voting rights act in the

you have lawsuits involving defamation, misusing funds, the phone call to change votes in georgia. where does this fit in his legal worries? >> well, i think that this one obviously he is not named in it, so unlike i think the situation in georgia where he made that phone call directly, i think that that is the one that poses the potential greatest risk. it is on tape, it is not something that he will be able to skecurity out of. he -skirt out of. he was the one making the phone call. the attorney general in new york says that the investigation continues, so maybe she has something else. but as of right now, the former president is not implicated in this directly. >> but certainly a reputational hit for the trump organization. >> and lenders won't want to business with an entindicted company. >>> all right. more local news,errick gar land says there are serious concerns whether capital pu punishment is imposed fairly. and president biden says he also has significant concerns about the death penalty and how it is applied. there was a flurry of executions during the waning months of

some a pass in some states like georgia, some of just the introducing others. so in 2022, during the mid term elections, you can honestly expect a lot more of all the suppression tactics in law's being have altogether on the local level. people just seem to be aware, they need to know how to get around these voting laws. and again, i have a lot more job security because this country continues to implement in a whole graces policy. and chris, as you alluded to a little bit earlier, the in the supreme court, this decision is a very awful decision, but it fell 63 along ideological lines. conservative doing what they do, best, upholding white supremacy. but just as atlanta, kagan to think, it's worth noting here, she said, quote, maybe some think that voters depression is a relic of story. and so the need for poems section 2 have coming, gone. but congress gets to make that call because it hasn't done so. this court to duty is to apply the law as it's written. what are your thoughts about that, chris? what i'm glad just skating was in the sand. i think she could ha

a case out of arizona, another jurisdiction like georgia, a law that failed, the procedure, so she was aware of the voting rights changes and law changes that had taken place and i think she very much appreciated that this was still a huge issue. and i think the same can be said about the work that remains to be done on gender rights and reproductive justice. these why issues that were extremely timely then and only more so in the time since she passed away. >> talk to me a little about gender discrimination. what cases specifically do you think she was highlighting as, hey, focus on this, this is work that still needs to be done. >> well, one of the things that she talks about in the book and that the choices of materials that come in highlights is the importance of women being able to control their reproductive lives that that's an important component to being able it truly be equal, to be able to control their careers, control their destinies, but she also, in the ledbetter case, for example, a really important case involving ongoing pay discrimination, that's a case she compared de

, very rural to this day part of georgia and when the mob riots they burn the church down, they kill several people and they destroy the man they're trying to seek's cars, they destroy his cars, it's a very important point for them. >> because cars then like now are the second largest expenditure that anyone will make, except that it's one of declining value. >> when the white mobs move into the ballot belt of chicago and riot and destroy the place, they make a point of destroying vitrolas, taking them out and smashing them in the street because they were expressions of wealth. >> it's why they burn down churches, it's why they burn down -- i mean, they talk about, you know, bombing caravans where people would -- white people would drive through black neighborhoods and, you know, sorts of a string of cars and just throwing bombs around or throwing oil and then setting things ablaze. this is a map of some -- and here it's very important to say just some of the places that witnessed a level of violence that warranted -- that ultimately made it on to the pages of local newspapers, right

georgia. our complaint ledges that recently changes to georgia's election laws were enacted with a purpose of denying or abridging the right of black georgians to vote on account of their race or color in violation of section 2 of the voting rights act. several studies show that georgia experienced record voter turnout and participation rates in the 2020 election cycle. approximately 2/3 of eligible voters in the state cast a ballot in the november election, just over the national average. this is cause for celebration. but then in march of 2021, georgia's legislature passed s.v. 202. many of that law's provisions make it harder for people to vote. the complaint aledges that the state enacted those restrictions with the purpose of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color. in a few moments, assistant attorney general clarke will talk in more detail about this case. the united states vs. georgia. i want to thank the staff of the civil rights division's voting section fo

and so that is what is still left untouched in a way for the doj's case against georgia's sb-202, the voting law. now, that said, intent is almost always a very difficult case to prove especially absent the smoking gun that shows emails or data asks that show the different ways communities might vote and tailor laws that might implicate those like what happened in north carolina. in order to prove the intent case, a higher bar to climb. as i was talking to a few election lawyers yesterday, they said the doj doesn't bring cases unless they're pretty sure they will have the evidence to meet both thresholds. that said, the fact they filed the complaint and brought the case thinks they have the evidence to back it up. >> this gets dicey, but you have republicans in georgia saying the intent is a lie. you have the lieutenant governor who went on tv and said he doesn't support the voting restrictions because they're solving a problem that doesn't exist. republicans haven't really tried to hide the reason for the lies. pushing the voting restrictions out to state legislatures. in texas you h

bakers against racism, georgia gilmore. she was a hugely important figure in the civil rights movement that isn't really talked about in history class. at least not mine. she was a cook in alabama who lost her job after testifying against segregation. so she opened up her own restaurant, organized big sale as a civil rights activist. specifically during the montgomery bus boycott. let's re, one in december 1955 rosa parks refuses to vacate receipt for a white man on a bus and montgomery, alabama, and the police arrest her because back then buses are segregated, meaning there are separate sections for white people and black people per rest mobilizes the black community and sparks the montgomery bus boycott led by doctor martin luther king junior. for 381, the black people in montgomery refused to take public transit. instead, they set up an alternative carpool system that they run by themselves. but that of course, cost money to georgia, gilmore finds a way to re that ton of cash to keep the boy kept going. she rallied black

i asked him, we didn't know at that point about what the court would do but what's happening in georgia these tightening laws, here is part of what he said. >> all over the world, we've always, ever since the carter center was founded tried to promote maximum involvement among the involvement of the people itself and making sure the votes were count id accurately. all those things were going by the board because of the republican state legislature, who have taken the position that trump has espoused. >> woodruff: and he's saying in other words, the changes, his own cancer center which has monitored elections all over the world was called on to from monitor siations in georgia. you now have a situation what the united states used to happen in the rest of the world is happening here david. >> brooks: earlier in the year i canead ron chernow's fabulous biography. it's hard to read that history and not look at what's happening today. if you are a legislature of any matter you do not want to be ton side of disparate outcomes along racial grounds. it is just abhorrent. i guess would i disagre

judy: he is saying that his own carter center has been called on to monitor elections in georgia. so you now have a situation -- what the u.s. used to worry about and the rest of the world is happening here. >> earlier this year i read the magnificent biography of ulysses s grant and as part of it covers the story of reconstruction. of when it former slaves were given the vote and taken away, so it is hard not to read that history and you hear echoes today. morley, i agree. given the history o america, if you are a legislature -- legislator of any already, you do not want to be on the side of disparate outcomes on racial grounds. that is a bore into. i would disagree with president carter in that i do think the 2022 election will be a fair election. i do not think we have totally trashed our system. that is why they make the emphasis -- when you try to discriminate against people, one of the things that has happened is they come back at you harder. so you get turnout increases when people perceive that the legislators are trying to turn people away. whether that will be the system

you remember this in georgia? >> i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state. >> the arizona republicans now obtained new records via a public information request that show how trump, his former personnel attorney rudy giuliani, and arizona state gop chair tried to pressure maricopa county supervisors overseeing the election results. maricopa is arizona's most populous county. county supervisors there reportedly got texts and phone calls as votes were being counted and later as the votes were being contested. here are two of those voice mails from rudy giuliani, one to clint hickman, who is the chair of the maricopa county chair of supervisors at the time, and another to bill gates. the music you'll hear underneath the call was added by the arizona republic in their online story. >> this is rudy giuliani. i was very happy to see this is going to be forensic audit of the machines. i really wanted to talk to you about it. the president wanted me to give you a call, all

from day number one, cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel from south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 into the late spring of 1781 until hereby was in yorktown of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again and tell after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. and i tried to argue in the book they came reasonably close. things went wrong we could talk about later, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident dan washington was of what would happen that year. clinton later said he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any four years he was commander. and ultimately clinton thought if the allies could be prevented for precise victory in 1781 and that the war word and in a negotiated settlement washington felt that. lafayette, john adams is writing to congre
