while i appreciate the actions from the white house and secretary vilsack, it is now time for congress to act. as the nation's number one producer of meat, iowans rely on market information provided by the mandatory price reporting. and they need that information to run their businesses. the reauthorization of the mandatory price reporting is the vehicle available where we can add additional price transparency and price discovery measures, and that is what i'm advocating. over the past 18 months we have seen massive price discrepancies between fed cattle and box b. this is pushing cattle producers and feeders to the brink of having to sell their operations. the four major meatpacking companies control 80% to 85% of cattle slaughtering. these companies have the advantage of procuring cattle from thousands of producers. these companies can also act as a chokepoint for the entire industry. given the critical nature of their operations, these packers dominate the marketplace and limit opportunities for price negotiation. according to usda, for every $1 americans spend on food, only 14 and

not subject to the whims of congress or the white house. they will also ensure that the supreme court uses the most demanding standard of review in sex discrimination cases the way that it already does for race discrimination and despite the partisan rhetoric i believe in my heart that most of the republican colleagues know that this is not only the recognition , but that it is the right thing to do. that is why the department of justice must rescind the trump administration legally flawed and nonbinding legal memo on the era. the archivist must immediately certify the era as the 28th amendment because 38 states have already ratified the amendment as the constitution requires. i am also proud to champion which tasked the house earlier this year with bipartisan support to remove any shadow of doubt that the era is in fact there were 38th amendment. i arch them to act quickly. i know that all of us will keep fighting until we achieve the promise of equal justice under law. mark my words. we will get this done. we must get this done. our daugh

and, of course, if the party and the president in the white house is not popular, they can be quite bad, some simple notes from the past, really only three times since the civil war where the party in the white house has gained seats. that was in 1934 before we had polling, 1998 and 2002. there in those races president clinton, president bush, 60% or over approval rating, very, very popular, gained a handful of indications, in the other cases, something like 34, they have lost seats and sometimes very large margins when you have lost many, many seats. it's true also in the state legislatures where that pattern falls almost exactly, two of those elections have gone for the president in the white house. so i think the obvious point is, with close margin, it's hard to see midterm elections going well for democrats. if the word terrifying is used. what does joe biden look like next year in 2022, that's what i say about the governors and michael about the senate, certainly about the races where if joe biden is where he was today or last week where democrats had a roughly 12% move against

a large number of seats where a small -- a white majority or at least not a black majority are electing african-americans. i think what we'll see are three republican nonmajority african-american districts represented by african-american republicans in this next house representatives, never mind the senate which could have one or two others. there are a number of i think positive trends. i think the court is also looking to maybe step back a bit from some of its earlier jurisprudence and i think you do see democratic safe african-american members of congress willing to allow their districts to be a little bit more -- not as densely african-american and still win those seats in places where democrats control the redistricting and that's also contributing to this growth in the number of african-americans but especially in seats that are not dominant majority/minority. >> john, thank you very much. there's certainly a number of lawsuits pending, when do you expect redistricting to be finished? john: well, it almost is never finished because sometimes these lawsuits continue past the first

this added diversity, the growth is not made it more favorable to democrats they won the white house in 2020 that they did in 2012. the more important part of this is how lines are drawn from state to state. republicans get to draw the map in 20 states totaling 187 districts that's because state legislatures for the most part bear responsibility for this compared to 75 districts and eight states. there also tend states that he is independent or bipartisan commissions the total one or 21 districts are six states with control split between the legislature of one party and a governor of the other. that adds up to 46 a districts. then there are six states that only have one district in the upcoming decade and do not need to divide their states into multiple seats. well, six states texas florida north carolina montana and colorado seven states are losing a member of congress new york, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, illinois, and west virginia. when people move out of a state like illinois or west virginia, two states that lost population each are you losing a seat as well do they take the

house, senate and the house and that's where i'm going to be, everybody else is doing their own thing, but i think we should be talking about joe biden. >> the republican national committee historically backed couple -- incumbents in most circumstance, former speaker gingrich says that governor kep should be replaced by former senator purdue, he would be a unifier? >> our bylaws prevent us getting involved in primaries at republican national committees. we have a mechanism to endorse an incumbent or candidates rule 11 it's really in the weeds and we are actually prohibited from getting involved in a primary unless that's signed by three committee members in that. >> you're neutral? >> we're neutral in every race, we get to focus on the general, i'm not interested in the republican versus republican, i'm focused on beating the democrats. that's what our voters want us to be focused on. my money is not spent on republican versus republican. it's how am i going to defeat the democrat, win back the senate one seat, win back the house one seat and that's what we need. >> melissa burke from

so this is coming from the white house. and most democrats aren't being consulted. not just with agriculture but the entire package. this really is unique. because of that you don't get good legislation. you get unintended consequences which i think we'll see in the future, which will not help them at all. jackie: before we run out of time i wanted to ask you one more question. we have a big election tomorrow in new jersey and virginia. i'm wondering if he glenn youngkinn does win tomorrow what do you think it means for the republican party heading into 2022? mr. boozman: i think we have to be careful because that doesn't mean that people will be voting for republicans. it will be voting -- they'll be rejecting what the democrats are trying to do right now. so republicans need to get ready. they need to have good solutions to the problems that we are facing. they need to present that to the public so that they'll be voting for us rather than against the administration what's happening right now. but this will be a big bell weather. i think we all agree. as a result

i was very proud to stand in the nice room of the white house the day president trump signed an executive order that said every campus in america will respect the freedom of speech of students on your campus or you will not receive federal aid from the united states government. [applause] under the biden administration, cancel culture is the order of the day. patriotic education has been replaced with political indoctrination. we abolished our 1776 commission and authorized the teaching of critical race theory in our schools. instead of teaching children to be proud of their country, critical race theory teaches children as young as kindergarten to be ashamed of their skin color. let me be clear on this point. just as i said when i was in virginia a few days ago, critical race theory is nothing less than state-sponsored racism and should be rejected by every parent in every school. [applause] despite what the left would have us believe, i want to say from my heart, while we are not yet a perfect union, we are a more perfect union, unique to strive throughout our history to be a more perfe

just this year, chuck engaged with the white house on a lengthy weeks ultimately the democrats couldn't agree to. republican senators came together with the democrats to implement the infrastructure bill. although it's stadium out right now. and just last week, senator sullivan and braun came together with an energy plan to start addressing the potential energy shortages we're going to face this winters because of biden policies. on immigration, on the economy. the democratic party is the party that's trying to shut down robin hood. when you look at innovation and where the republicans are on crypto and other financial instruments and other opportunities for people to diversify their portfolio, expand to new technologies. silicon valley doesn't love us but we've always protected their right to exist where folks on the left, want to break them up and do other things to them. with policies, we're actually pretty sub stan active in a minority situation, especially when the other side, as my co-panelist said is destroying themselves. look at mccarthy. he formed seven working groups which is

as the white house have a response? ms. jean-pierre: as i said yesterday, the doj will be defending these lawsuits. we are confident in our authority to protect american workers as this virus is killing 1100 americans per day. this is an obligation that the department of labor has protect workers, face great danger. it is derived from a law passed by congress that has been around for more than 50 years. this is an authority that the secretary of the department of labor has. when you think about grave danger, 1100 people dying per day, that is an authority that he could use to make sure that people feel safe in their workplace and that they don't get sick. we continue to advocate with from here is to push businesses to look forward with their policies now. these are policies that are protecting workforces and avoiding disruptions related to employees getting sick with covid. expanding the workforce, and saving lives. that's the business we are in. that's what we put together this comprehensive vaccination effort very early o

last week, white house press secretary jen psaki stated that the biden administration's view is that the rise in prices that we're seeing in gas over the long term make an even stronger case for doubling down on our investment and focus on clean energy options. do you agree with her statement, yes or no will be fine. >> excuse me, what is the statement that you're asking? >> her statement is that higher gas prices, these rising gas prices, actually help justify the investments that the biden administration wants to make in green energy. do you agree with that? >> senator, i cannot say yes or no with respect to agreeing with a statement the context of which i'm not familiar with. >> well, let me say this. that many folks that are advocates, as you seem to be, of the green energy program that we're talking about, suggest that higher gas prices do support the cost justification for green investment. now, you've already said that or at least have had some difficulty but i think you think that higher gas prices are bad for america. if there's a belief that higher gas prices help cost just

republican democrat senators, the biden white house to be able to go there and deliver american vaccines and show that this is a commitment to a long-standing critical and important democracy in the world. from my own personal perspective, taiwan has really book ended my military career. when i was a young infantry officer, i deployed there in what is now referred to as the third taiwan strait crisis. this was in 1995 and 1996 where the chinese come his party threatened to invade taiwan on the eve of their presidential elections. they moved the military to the straight and they were firing missiles very aggressively. president clinton sent to carrie barrett -- carrier battle groups. that was a part -- i was a part of that. it was a commitment of american resolve to a long-standing democracy. i currently serve in and there is a lot of bogus as you can imagine. i think the key issue is to make sure that -- and the chinese constantly say how important taiwan is to them. we need to make it clear to the chinese communist party and xi jinping that taiwan is not some sideshow from our perspecti

tony: look, i do not doubt that somewhere out the right it -- at out the -- at the white house there is this long list of beautiful things about what this planet does. the seeds of doubt have already been planted. not only have the seeds of doubt already been planted, but, we have a problem called inflation. while you may understand it to be a supply chain problem, the average person does not call -- care about supply. they care about what happens when they go to the grocery store to buy a turkey. what happens when they go to get gas. housing prices through the roof. so, the real question will become, can you make -- what is easier to do? to make the argument that all of this government spending is only fueling the inflation and the inflationary spiral we are in. or, that we need to spend our way out of inflation? karen: today we had inflation numbers. one month, the worst in 30 years. people are already arguing that to drop a gigantic load of government spending into the middle of this environment, especially, there are people on the hill arguing we should not even bother with the c
