when i went to jackson, mississippi, i heard about all three. i heard about people hanging out at mcdonald's, not to eat, but that was their only affordable, reliable option, to do their homework and fill out job applications. so we have a lot of work to do, and competition has to be a part of the enabling mix. both from a legislative and regulatory point of view. we have disagreements how much money should flow there, commissioner stark has experienced it and i have set it during my eight-plus years, but we have to talk about it and providing opportunity for one is not going to give as many opportunities as we might think. >> thank you so much, commissioner clyburn. as we note in our report, research from the free press shows as communities get higher percentage of african american-americans in their population they might have one internet service provider. thank you for speaking to the importance of competition and communities. we are coming up to our q&a time so i want to provide our panelists the opportunity to answer questions we have comin

in mississippi. it was a -- it had become a combat training center, during that period, and so we did most of our training we did -- we actually started out at fort gordan, georgia and then fort stewart, georgia, and then we went to -- went to camp shelby for the remainder of the time because they had the same situation. they had the same role players out there, and this time it was based on afghanistan scenario. and then once we got into afghanistan, our brigade was split up everywhere, and our primary mission there was to mentor and train the afghan army, the afghan military, and the border patrol, so we would embed our personnel with their personnel, and help them train, and you know where that goes. you see where that's led. >> did you have any serious blue-on-blue incidents? where the friendlies and -- >> we did. we did. not in my unit, but we did within our brigade. i'm going to show you the map. i did find a map of afghanistan. i don't know how easy it is to see. >> if you hold up one corner,

i was just speaking to some people down in mississippi who kind of painted that picture for me. i know you are personally dedicated to this because you yourself faced homelessness in the past. what is it like to not have a roof over your head? explain to folks what that does to you. >> you know, it is a horrible, sinking feeling because every single moment you know the next moment nothing has changed. every single moment you know that you are shouldn't to the weather. you know that you are subject to any type of violence that's happening around you. you know that you yourself, you need to care for yourself and you are unable to do it the way that you know you need to do it, to take care of your children. you know, this is just -- it totally turns your life upside down and there is this anxiety, there is this worry that consumes you. and i'm not someone that likes to walk into -- that likes to speak on worry, but there is a place that you go to in your mind and in your heart because you know that tomorrow is the same. it is one thing to not have food for today. it is another thin

>> well, in mississippi we are doing several different things. we are in the middle of an awareness campaign. we are holding in-person events in cities. we had our first one last week, you know, over 1,000 people came, land lords and tenants. you know, hundreds of complete applications filed. working with utility companies, you know. one of the things we did to publicize the jackson event was drop a flyer in everybody's water bill because we can, you know, pay rent and utilities. so it is just, you know, running up against this eviction deadline. the eviction deadline is not hopefully going to be the cliff that we fear it will be. hopefully landlords will act in their own best interests and in the interest of their tenants. >> gosh, let's hope not. pam, i know you are in the know in that area. you have gotten a lot of text messages, messages from folks, people coming up to you asking for help because of what is happening with this eviction moratorium. people already homeless, not even waiting until midnight, right? >> absolutely. >> folks already

but when you look at that from a fairness standpoint, a study found humphreys county in mississippi was the heaviest audited county in america, mostly african-american, a third under the poverty line, mostly focused on the earned income tax credit rather than wealthy people, complicated tax forms. so we see tax rates that are unfair and we see folks not reporting income, hiding income, and so on. so could you just speak broadly about when the president is talking about tax cuts for working people, and then asking folks -- everybody to pay their fair share. i don't think it's a tax increase to ask a billionaire to pay more than zero on their taxes. people in michigan don't think that. but could you speak in the big picture about right sizing the tax system and making sure that everybody pays what they are supposed to be paying. >> thank you for that question, senator. i -- president biden feels it is crucial that we have a tax system that is fair and one where we enforce tax laws so that individuals and corporations pay what they owe. and we really need to do that in order to assist hard

i worked with bob moses at sncc in mississippi. i would like to put up a slide. according to records obtained by the local houston press outlook khou-11, the texas attorney general received 197 complaints of voter fraud from 2015-2020, during which over 44 million votes were cast. that is for thousandths -- that is four thousandths of 1%. only 23 of these complaints pertained to the 2020 election. and there is another slide. during which 23 of 11 million votes were cast. now, that is 1% of 478,260 votes. how does the discussion of these pending cases mislead the people of texas about the prevalence of voting fraud, given what i have showed you? ms. perales: there is a total mismatch between the egregious restrictions put forward in this bill and what many members here today are refusing to engage in these specific provisions, but there is a complete mismatch between what is in this bill and the sporadic, individual, anecdotal reports of voter fraud in texas. representative norton: governor abbott's own administration has investigated cases of fraud. keith ingram,

where vaccination rates are in the 70% and 80%, you're going to feel very different than when you're in mississippi. in my view we need to heighten the contradictions, where we have to make sure people understand where people are vaccinated, life is a lot better. we've learned this week where there have been an uptick in vaccinations, that if you make it mandatory for some workplaces and incentive structure very clear you have to get vaccinated, a lot of people will get vaccinated. it may be cruel to say but we have to make incentives overwhelming to get vaccinated for the common good. >> woodruff: e.j., we know it's not all politics. some people have an innate fear of getting a vaccination, apparently, but there is a political opponent to this in that a lot of influential conservatives are saying don't do this, it not the threat they say it is. is this a moment when things are going to get worse because of that? >> you know, in an odd way, i'm a bit hopeful because the messenger is getting through, sadly because of the deaths and the sickness, and people are starting to become very clear that if y

host: walter in meridian, mississippi, republican, welcome to the conversation. caller: when biden was inaugurated, he laid his hand on the bible and said he would enforce all our laws. he's not enforcing the law. they have a law on the books about immigration. if he is enforcing the laws, why doesn't the congress make him enforce the laws? host: i will leave it there to get a response. guest: one of the most things in terms of enforcing immigration laws is to do it in a way that prioritizes valuable law enforcement resources. one of the things we're looking forward to from the biden administration is what are their enforcement priorities? we think their enforcement priority should be public safety risks, the folks who were smuggling drugs, guns and money into the country. the phone for violent criminals, those are individuals who nobody wants in their neighborhood whether you're an immigrant or u.n. your family have been here for generations. we need to make sure we are prioritizing our valuable law enforcement resources of those safety and security risks. that'

when you look at mississippi and iowa, you have covid skyrocketing. >> thank you for being here. >> good to be on. >> what do you mean by red states crisis? >> if you look, i mean we have a rise infection, hospitalizations and everywhere. it is extremely lopsided looking across parts of the country. new york have fewer than a thousand of people hospitalized right now. florida has well over 70,000. i am not an epidemiologist, one of the things we were worried is not getting people infected but you would overwhelm healthcare services. we are right at the point having it happen but only in red states. new york is not -- things are not okay. you probably need to be more careful. the immediate crisis that we are really back to where we were in the early stages of this being a run away. it is a partisan political thing. state in that position should be taking emergency measures and mask mandates and vaccination mandates, those are the places where politicians will refuse to do any of that. >> yeah. >> then you have what has become more of an emphasis on public health messaging and resources in

the chair recognizes the gentleman from mississippi, mr. guest, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. frank, i just want to highlight a few things you testified in your opening statement and also in the report that you provided prior to your testimony. you say in your report that the most prevalent and most pressing matter that we now face is cyber. you say cyber is the area where we must double down and work the hardest to enhance our capabilities. you go on and you talk about some of the more recent attacks that we've seen, both late last year and this year, the solarwinds, the microsoft exchange. you mentioned the u.s. pipeline which i assume would be colonial pipeline. the food supply, which would be the jbs cyber incursionsincursi. you talk about ransomware, not just targeting these large multinational corporations but they're targeting schools and businesses and hospitals. and then, as you go later into your report you talk a little bit about the deterrence factor, and you say, actually, while resilience supports deterrence, it must not eliminate the need for a broader

and that both segment mississippi no evidence about actually happening. and we certainly can't overturn the election. and then the a kid aligned, according to this contemporaneous notes by the w 2 in general, is tom says, look out, understand that. but you can't overturn the election. just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to meet. and the suggestion is also that he would then we'll leave it up to his republican allies and congress them to run with any statements from the d. i. j, about the conduct of the election to try and carry on that narrative that the election was corrupt. it is raising some eyebrows there because ordinarily the d. j wouldn't release notes from officials in any event iteration because it's, that's a precedent. and how could actually any official give candidates, private advice to a president when he thinks of actually what you think. so this will going to be handed over and made public sunday, but the da says this is extraordinary circumstance that the, the right to confidentiality is for the benefit of the nation

every state except mississippi has at least one lbgtq elected officials. most of them are democrats. here is the why. the president suggested the sharp rise was antitrump verber. whatever the reason, it is a welcome trend, worth keeping an eye on which we'll do here. we'll be right back. which we'le we'll be right back. because we were created for officers. but as we've evolved with the military, we've grown to serve all who've honorably served. no matter their rank, or when they were in. a marine just out of basic, or a petty officer from '73. and even his kids. and their kids. usaa is made for all who've honorably served and their families. are we still exclusive? absolutely. and that's exactly why you should join.

if i were in missouri, florida, nevada, mississippi, states where the positivity rate and the case rate are through the roof again, i would be way more careful and cautious than i am here in rhode island, in massachusetts, or in connecticut where infection rate is still pretty low. but that p-town outbreak, that happened in a place where folks are fully vaccinated. massachusetts is not a place that was having substantial transmission prior to that outbreak. so, my advice to folks across the country right now is, if you are going indoors, into a public space, put a mask on. regardless of whether you're vaccinated or not. >> here's what really got my attention from the provincetown cluster. four of the people who were hospitalized were vaccinated. meaning, they had bad enough symptoms to seek hospitalization. so, did that surprise you, or are those the numbers to be expected when you have an outbreak of 469 people? >> it's exactly it. so there was an outbreak of 469, 4 were hospitalized, that's horrible. i wish it weren't happening. i'm so frustrated and exhausted by this pandemic just li

mississippi is high. and also california is high. it has nothing to do with the fact that people were vaccinated or not. the rate from the new people coming in is a lot higher than the rate when people were not wearing masks. secondly, the reason there is so much politics is because there is so much variability. i'll tell you a little bit about the variability. one thing is wearing a handkerchief -- i wore mask for 30 years. in business and industry. i worked for shell, the army, oil companies. doing public health. i have a master's degree in it. a bachelor's degree in environmental science. what happens is the virus changes so fast. they brought in so many people from the south, you had so many possible variants. the second thing is the mask don't even work right. if i had to put a handkerchief on workers, they would've kick me out of the plant. i've seen a guy in puerto rico wearing a handkerchief. the point is a handkerchief -- there is pulmonary functioning, there are a bunch of masks used that are better than the ones doctors us

just reflecting on that over the weekend, going down in rural mississippi and trying to get people to vote. registering people at the courthouse, being bludgeoned in the head and shot at. that is not so far away, even though that was over 60 years ago. that work that he did in the early part of his career. with the student nonviolent coordinating committee. here we are and according to cnn today, 20 states have enacted 25 new laws making it harder for people to vote. i feel like states like california can be a beacon of hope. san francisco can be a beacon of hope to continue to encourage people to participate in the democratic process. during the last 16 months, our state has had to rapidly change and modernize our systems in the economy during this global pandemic to protect our democracy. with most of the state being shut down in 2020, our local environment, our state legislators had to adapt around the health order. as part of that, for the first time without request, we mailed a ballot to every single registered voter here in san francisco and throughout the state. as a result, i

it was the sunday before the mississippi primary. you know, the t re out. and racism is just so pervasive, and it's weird, don, because they are so afraid of particularly black women, whether or not it's kamala harris or simone biles. you see people like charlie kirk. he can't do as many push-ups as simone biles or sit-ups. it's kind of silly. like simone biles literally would beat him up. and the fact that, you know, you have people like that who want to just -- it's not funny. it's true. she would literally beat him up. to call her weak or anything else, it plays into this politics. and i think mark will agree we need to get to a politics of a day where all of this asinine, silly rhetoric is thrown out the window and we actually talk about policies and the difference between progressive and conservative, getting back to the root of what this country is. >> with that, you have to talk about the strategies too, bakari and mark, to win elections because, mark, republicans want to hit democrats on things like critical race theory or defund the police. do you

arkansas, louisiana, tennessee, mississippi, alabama, georgia. florida alone, now big state, number-three state, right? makes up a huge chunk of the new cases. they have been in the top five for new cases, going back to april. now, if you look, you will see that there's some toxic politics that have gone along with that. don't fauci florida and all this other stuff. and now he's anti-mask down there, the governor. i get the political play. it works with the trump fold but it's making people sick. you could say that, look, they have a big population. okay? so they're going to have bigger numbers. but the positivity is way outpacing the rest of the country. okay? which is why they have more people in the hospital than they did at any time this year. it's a scene playing out across the entire region. it's not just florida. but you have to look at where you have the most cases, and you will see the lowest percentages of vaccination. and the highest rates of transmission. okay? if you focus on that same group of states, you see, it's almost all red do

showing up as a bright-red hot spot in the heat map of the region, along with the states of arkansas, mississippi, and louisiana. the crisis that erupted related to the delta variant in southwest missouri has made its way to the st. louis region, so we were trying to be proactive and act in as efficient and as rapid a manner in imposing a mask mandate to try to stem the same 10r9 situations that our colleagues in southwest missouri would have experienced. i fear now that with increasing hospitalizations and increasing pediatric hospitalizations, we will see some of the worst-case scenarios played out over late summer and early fall. >> you said you were berated during your testimony. you were pushed, as you were leaving. you faced absolutely unacceptable racial slurs directed at you as well. but i watched some of the hearing. there's clearly a growing sense of frustration among people who don't think that they're getting straight guidance or feel ey're getting shifting guidance from health officials, such as yourself. have you ever seen this level of frustration among people in receiving that kin

these business leaders aren't mississippiing word mincing words when it comes to getting the vaccine. but the biden administration has gone out of its way to make sure they're not recounting on vacci mandates. >> what you want see is a requirement from the federal government to have people get vaccinated. >> you don't want to mandate and try to force anyone to take a vaccine. >> well, everyone who i just showed, though, has said and knows in order to end the pandemic, the answer is vaccines. >> we need more people to get vaccinated to stop this pandemic. >> the vaccinations remain the bedrock of ending this pandemic. >> the end game of this all, george, is going to get people vaccinated. >> well, they couldn't be any more clear on that. the u.s. has a long way to go on vaccinations. experts say 85% or more americans need to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity with variants like delta and, like i said, only 49% of americans have been fully vaccinated. many of the unvaccinated are republicans. most polling shoes 50% to 60% are veited compared to 80% of democrats. according to the last
