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

we're not talking a little bit of money, arizona, mark kelly is running and we will beat him, but if this passes, he'll get as much as $18 million of your tax dollars. how about raphael warnock in georgia, as much as $25 million of your tax dollars. new hampshire, maggie hassan, by the way, call chris sununu, the governor of new hampshire to make sure you want him to run for senate. if he does we will win. cortez masso in nevada as much as $11 million. in colorado michael bennett he'll get up to $11 million. or 16 million dollars. now let's talk about our good friend chuck schumer, now, chuck schumer, don't you just love the guy? so you know, he's not partisan at all. so he says we have to pass this bill, he's working on it really hard because we have to pass it to save democracy. no, he wants to pass it to save his skin. guess how much he would get? up to $45 million of your money to run attack ads. it's corruption for the democrats right out in the open and it's based on a complete, complete lie. there's no basis for this. now, first off, we all should congratulate the arizona g.o.

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

arizona cannot point to anyy voter fraud that justifies this law. study of the 834 million ballots passed in elections between 2,002,014 found at least 35 critical allegations of in-person voter fraud. by contrast there are voluminous examples of proliferating racist donation voting during the same period. rein short this unscrupulous decision disregards the purpose and the court fundamentally disagrees disagrees is with congress's views of its enforcement power toy legislate broadly to protect the right to vote from racial racial discrimination present a short attempt to rewrite in weekend section t 2 resulting in a pocketable costs to our democracy. since the t disabling of section 5, section 2 has been the primary defense against discriminatory abridgment. in 2020 loan lbf filed five cases under section 2 and a filed two more this year. in the first five years following shall be an impressive 61 were filed under section 2. it's been eight years since the chief justice expressly invited congress to update section fives preclearance formula to refl

and the principle was justice scalia's opinion in arizona versus inter-tribal council of arizona back in 2013 where he referred to the broad and comprehensive scope of congress's elections clause power. in the remainder of my testimony i'll provide some background on what the elections clause means and in particular, how it has been construed by the supreme court. so the elections clause, the text of which, madam chairwoman read earlier, allows states to prescribe rules for the election, only in so far as the court says in foster versus love. and justice scalia said in grant, this was snuns against the possibility that states would try to undermine the union by either failing to have procedures for congressional elections or having ones that were inadequate. and as he put it, legislators could at any moment anay-- annihilate it, that is the u.s. government. congress has used broad powers repeated lie through the 1842 apportionment act, the civil wars acts of 1870 and 1871 and more recently through the registration act and help america vote act. i won't go through the precedence that s

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

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

my dad had been his flight instructor for new marines in zuma, arizona. and he said i knew your dad. it's interest ago moment, and we're asked as journalists why we write on a topic and spend five, six years to write about it. >> one of the interesting things about it, we're not the only ones picking. sdims we come to this. and mark was looking for someone who help potentially tell the story and i arrived at just the right time and he arrived in my life at the right time and we've since become friends and that-- . pardon? >> he's read the book. >> what did he say? you went pretty deep and he was open, but you went pretty deep with him. >> he knew, after the new yorker piece which was raw and some people said, what are you thinking? why are you cooperating with this guy still? i think he felt that i was fair and that understood him and all the personal things, failed marriage and relationship with his kids and that. >> that was really wrenching, that was a great part of the book. >> thanks. >> and you know, that stuff is personal, that's what makes for gre

my dad had a bit in his flight instructor 25 years ago in yuma, arizona. and he said you remind me of somebody else. i knew your dad way back when. so it was an interesting moment. we are often asked i think as journalists why we pick a topic, why we sort of are ready to stick with something five or six years to write a book about it. and i think one of the interesting revelations from this process was that we are not the only ones picking. sometimes the subject sort of -- sometimes we come to the subject and sometimes it comes to us. markes stucky knew he lived a phenomenal life and had been looking for someone to potentially help tell that story. i arrived at just the right time, and he arrived in my life at just the right time. we have become since good friends. and that, you know -- >> has he read the books? >> pardon? yes, he's read the book. >> what did he think? >> [inaudible] >> he knew after the new yorker piece which was raw, and some people said to him what are you thinking? how are you cooperating with this guy still? ybut i think that he felt

he also knew my dad, my dad had been his flight instructor 35 years ago as a young marine in yuma, arizona so he set your mind me of somebody else, too and i knew your dad way back when so it was an interesting moment and we are often asked, i think as journalists, wife we pick a topic, why we are doing something for five or six years write a book about it and i think one of the interesting revelations from this was that we are not the ones picking, sometimes subjects, sometimes we come to a subject and sometimes a subject comes to us and i think mark knew he lived a phenomenal life and always have been looking for someone to potentially help tell that story and i arrived at just the right time and he arrived in my life at the right time and we became really good friends -- yes, he's read the book. >> what did he think? you went pretty deep with him. >> after the new yorker piece which was raw, i think some said to him, what were you thinking? how are you cooperating with this guy still? but i think he felt like i was fair and i understood him and all of the personal stuff, all the stuff a

my dad was his flight instructor 35 years ago yuma, arizona and he's had you remind me of somebody else and i knew your dad way back i when so it was an interesting moment and we are often asked, i think as journalists why we pick a topic, i stick with something far five or six years to write about it and one of the interesting revelations from this was that we are not the only ones picking. sometimes we come to a subject sometimes the subject comes to us and i think that mark knew he lived a phenomenal life was looking for someone to potentially help tell that story and i arrived at the right time and he arrived in my life at the right time and we have become good friends. >> he has read the book? >> he has read the book. >> what did he think? you went pretty deep with him. >> the new yorker piece which was raw, but you thinking? i think he felt i was there and understood him and all of the personal stuff, all the stuff about his broken marriage and failed relationship with his kids and allat that -- >> that was really wrenching in that part of the book. that's what makes it great, you

you will not arizona is comparable to mohave and it's awful middle of nowhere thing. then an increasing amount of timein northern virginia . those were the main nodes where i havebetween . >> let's talk about branson and in talking about grandson that's another important part of the book . at the beginning, i guess the question is was this really a lot and as the project went on, you realize no. branson is really serious. personally, i know he spent billions of dollars but these are very hard charging guys, challenging the future and obviously there's the lawn must what was? was it for publicity? was it was you something new? >> i think he was very day. >> surprisingly, frankly. >> here's the reason why and it's important to go back and realize the centrality of this boutique aviation firm first bill spaceships 21 as its predecessor. this explains why my alsbury made a mistake in 2014 widener work on these things into the spaceship. we rely. contest to the first $10 million to the first private legal they spacecraft reached the west in two weeks. contest in 2004, the

one of the issues was from arizona, a situation where you have no easy places to drop off your ballot in large native american reservations. so by banning the ability for people to collect ballots and drop them off, you essentially make it extraordinarily difficult for this targeted community to vote. and that was the intent. that was the intent. now, this law, section 2, it didn't say that anything about intent. it said the result. and it didn't say it had to be denial. it said an abridgement. in other words, an afringe -- an infringement on the ability to cast a ballot. but alito doesn't care. the majority doesn't care on the supreme court about defending the right to vote. the pulse stating heart of -- pulsating heart of our republic. so where does that leave us? it leaves us as the critical factor to defend the constitution. the supreme court won't do it. the states are undermining it. it's our responsibility, our responsibility to set out those basic standards that defend the ability of every american to vote. and that's why i'm here on the floor tonight talking about the for the

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

my dad has been his flight instructor 35 years ago in arizona. so he said you remind me of somebody is too great i knew your dad way back when. it was an interesting moment we are often asked i think, as journalists why we pick a topic, why we are ready to stick with something for five or six years to write a book about it. i think one of the interesting revelations from this process was that we are not the only ones picking. sometimes we come to a subject and sometimes a subject comes to us. i think mark stuckey knew he lived a phenomenal life and had been looking for someone to potentially help him tell that story. i arrived at just the right time and he arrived at my life just the right time. we have become since really good friends. >> he has read the book. >> what he think? >> he went pretty deep and he was open. pretty deep with it. >> he knew it was raw some people said to him, what are you thinking? why are you cooperating with this guy still? i think he felt like i was fair and that i understood him. in all of the personal stuff,ri all t

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

we will now hear from the distinguished gentleman from arizona, mr. stanton, for five meant. >> all right, thank you very much, chairman johnson. what an outstanding hearing thus far, very educational, informative and our public policy moving forward, thank you to the witness is for being here today. in my home state of arizona, we're lucky we have 22 federally recognized native american tribes and we are so proud that the first native american woman ever appointed to the federal judiciary, judge diane wethua is here in arizona. and that's my first question directed to mr. warner, president biden named lauren king for the western district of washington. if confirmed, ms. king will become the third native american currently sitting on the federal bench. in fact, ms. king will be only the fifth native american ever to serve as a federal judge. i'm really interested in that commission that you discussed earlier. i wanted to find out, as your commission worked to recommend candidates for judgeship, how did you account for such a historic lack of represent

i objected specifically and senators filed an objection to the state of arizona so we had a debate on both of those and my view is we needed a debate on election integrity. i think it was appropriate to have it and democrats with a previous election with a debate is appropriate and certainly within their rights to raise these issues and i promised my constituents that ie would, soi did and that is why i raised the issues and i wasn't going to let the actions of a criminal mob who came to the capital and tried to stop the certification process and debate that we were in the middle of i wasn't going to allow their actions to interfere with my obligations and constituents in doing what i said i was going to do so those who committed acts of violence and crime on that day, they deserve to go to prison and i don't care whether justification is. it wass wrong, violent, i don't care if you are doing it on the right or the left. those folks who came to the capital and committed violence it's like those across different cities in the country over the past year and just like the deranged indivi

i was in arizona recently and i was able to visit a school where there wasn't another school for miles and miles and it just seemed like we needed to make sure that they had everything they needed to be successful. a lot of that is broadband and making sure the devices are working and that they have access to the same. so those conversations with those educators and mayors involved trying to build an infrastructure that can withstand what we've experienced before and making sure we look at the digital divide in the rearview mirror soon because the american rescue plan is the infrastructure plan that can provide $100 billion in infrastructure which the students need. the internet isn't a lofty thing anymore. the device and the internet as needed. it's a required tool for learning so we have to get past that idea. it's on us to make sure that they get it. the funding is there and the urgency is there. one of the things the pandemic has shown us or has exposed, the inequities and the gaps that are there and i just wonder when it comes to that kind of access, was the access even more sever

i was in arizona recently and was able to visit a school where there is not another school for miles, and miles, andan miles. it just seems like we needed to make sure they had everything they needed to be successful there. a lot of that is really broadband and making sure the devices are working, are making sure they have access to the same learning opportunities that students and more dense areas of our country. those conversations with those educators, those mayors, and federal leaders involve trying to build an infrastructure that can withstand what we experienced before. and make sure we are looking at the digital divide in the rearview mirror soon. we have the rescue plan and infrastructure plan that can provide 100 early in dollars and infrastructure students need. the internet is not a lofty thing anymore. it's the device and the internet is needed. it is a required tool for learning. we have to get past that idea that you don't need it. you do need it. in order for our students to have a chance at success and to level the playing field, this is tools they need for learning. i

difficult speeches, was at the funeral of the 19 granite mountain hotshot firefighters, when the prescott, arizona, fire department got clobbered. that tragedy happened eight years ago today. that's the reason i mention it. it's hard to remember, of all the costs that firefighters risk when they do their job and their bravery to step up and do the job. now, traditionally, federal firefighting has been a seasonal job, but because of climate change, and i know you all know it, and i hope your constituents know it. there is climate change. it's no longer a seasonal job. this is a year-round mission. so we've made sure seasonal firefighters can stay on the job, as long as they are needed this year, by allowing them to work beyond their term. and for next year, we're working to make more than, of those positions, permanent positions so that when fires aren't burning, we have a workforce of experienced hands enhancing our forest management, reducing the risk of future fire in the future fire season. second thing, we are harnessing new tools and technologies to better identify and respond before new fire

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

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

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

. , 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

in first is a native of arizona, we probably would rather think of la differently. one needs to be done is addressing it be five wells, i know in the near term, we have to get to supply change printed chains through our economy and expanding to people getting back into the workforce and also going to canada and we need to convince more people and citizens in her own children growing up, those immigrants going to the trade and give us the labor that we can build with and at a reasonable rate. we need to have more lots available with her in places like los angeles, or other places that are great, there is some expansion of city limit. we also need to make sure the banks are lending at a reasonable rate in a consistent rate in the making regulations need to be reevaluated. and finally, we need to also make sure that we are no longer participating are practicing it any type of discriminatory selling or buying practices we need to truly talk the talk of diversity inequity in housing as an industry and as a country. >> thank you for mentioning equity, this is a big issue

arizona so we had h of those in my view is this, we need to have a debate on election integrity. i think it was appropriate to have it done by the way democrats debate was appropriate and certainly within their right to raise these issues and i promise promised my constituents that i wouldn't so i did. that's why raise the issue on that day and that i wasn't going to let the action of a lawless criminal mob who came to this capital and try to stop the certification process and tried to stop the debate that we were in the middle of i wouldn't allow their actions interfere with my application with my constituents and doing what i said i was going to do. those who committed acts of violence and those who committed acts of crime on the day of them -- january 6 they need to go to prison and i'll pay with their justification is. it's wrong it's violent it's lawless and criminal. i don't care if you are doing it because you run a writer on the left are those folks who came to the capitol admitted criminal violence just as the writers across different cities across the country the past y

morning to you from chicago, leo's hometown, santa fe new mexico, lexington north carolina, phoenix, arizona and happy to see her friends the georgia commission on the holocaust good morning to all of you. now, when did your father encounter japanese diplomat? they have to bear my father never wanted to get back because he held the communists and such the idea that leaving was one of the main forces for him. and of course everyone understood the nazi are only months away which is then the capitol of lithuania would possibly give visa to the jews who wanted to leave russian rule and the fear of not see occupation. and so he there are very few that managed to get out was the bravery as a diplomat to deny the orders of the government because they did not want him to enter the transit visa. anyone understands they probably seen the movie casablanca. the only hope you have of escaping and certain death that it probably is anyway. and so the council general gave out over 2000 visas. those 2000 could represent a lot more because the visa that was presented we ended up getting out. the needed permis
