the laws that were put on the books in georgia this year that were being voted on in georgia would basically make parity with what colorado already has on the books. this is the kind of debate we want to be able to have can we just agree, get a whiteboard up, put the facts up, of what these things are, what these bills are, what the laws are? then at least be debating from the same sheet of music? i have a few more things to say. i have some colleagues here that i want to be mindful of their time. i just -- my floor time, i digressed there a little bit because i was hearing my colleagues on the other side of the aisle but election integrity is critically important right now. i have colleagues from texas who are completely abandoning their duty, state legislature colleagues, to be clear, who are abandoning their duty to represent their constituents in the state of texas and have a full-throated debate about the current bills in the essential legislative session in texas and have come to d.c. they are not doing their job. i generally want to flee d.c. to go back to texas. it's rare i'd be sayi

the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia, mr. carter, for five minutes. mr. carter: madam speaker, i rise today with a heavy heart to remember and honor my friend, pete robinson of columbus, georgia, who passed away on july 1 at the age of 66. he graduated from emory university and mercer university school of law. following graduation he began his career in public service and commitment to improving his community. for a decade beginning in 1985, pete served in the georgia general assembly in the house of representatives and senate. in the senate he served as governor miller's floor leader for two years and became the only president pro tem to be nominated by both republican and democratic leaders. pete's decades of leadership in his community and the general assembly played a significant role in making georgia a better place for all who call it home, myself included. i'm thankful for the immense impact he had in georgia and i know his legacy will remain. my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him d

they brought a 90 page bill into the georgia senate. the vote was of the next morning, no one had time to read it. they did go over it some. the one aspect of this legislation is the allowance for the state legislatures to take over local voting boards. if they are thinking there is a problem, all they have to do is say there is fraud going on. they can take over those local boards and nullify the vote. i am surprised this does not get brought up more often. thank you, c-span. host: harry in georgia, there -- there. this is from michigan, republican line. caller: i wanted to comment when george terwilliger was on. my concern was the ability for nonpartisan inspections during the vote counting process. it seems there should be some standardized way so that at that point there would be no political denial of people to inspect the voting process. host: what do you think is the best body? if you want to make it nonpartisan, what is the best body to do that? caller: i think it should be prescribed ahead of time who the voter process witnesse

caller: it is riverdale, georgia. host: georgia, sorry. caller: not a problem. i just want to make a point, and i may have missed it earlier because i have not been washing the show all the time, but you are dealing with basketball and football. mostly with lack athletes generating all that money. shouldn't athletes get a percentage of all the moneys that the ncaa schools bring in? as opposed to just being able to use their likenesses to make money? host: thank you. guest: thank you, joel, for the question. there is a federal bill sponsored by senator cory booker and several other senators, the college athlete bill of rights, that would essentially provide what you suggested, which is revenue-sharing, and also medical trust funds, and the idea is that schools would have to share about half -- the revenue is defined in a certain way, but half goes to the players, and there are some who say that is great, and your comment bears out the reasoning for it, and others are more reticent. they say that would hurt schools in ways that have profound effects on athletes wh

or biden losing georgia. the difference in states like arizona and wisconsin. a lot of senate races next year as well. this is going to be a battle that is fought in the courts. something where the pressure will continue on joe manchin. it will be on raphael warnock, the georgia senator. they have put together a version that is paired back. republicans don't like that either. the question at some point is are you going to deal with the filibuster issue. they could counter some of these state laws. host: a longtime veteran of the capitol hill press corps. you can find him on twitter at stephentdennis. we appreciate you in studio, we look forward to coming back down the road. about 30 minutes left, we will be joined by aaron trish to talk about spending on some drugs by medicare versus what the health care program could have paid at costco. stick around for that discussion, right after the break. >> weekends on c-span two are an intellectual feast. every saturday we will have events that fill our nation's past

this is more funding for georgia. more funding for our families, to protect our children and to lift up our community. thank you. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from oklahoma seek recognition? >> i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to honor the former flying agie and a sorty wally funk who was the oldest woman to travel to space. funk has led an amazing life from breaking down barriers to careers in aviation and now space travel. in my state of oklahoma oak, funk was the first female civilian flight instructor, first female afor investigator. her persistence is one of the many wusm qualities. when nasa began accepting women, she applied three times. and funk's courage, perseverance and leadership has impacted the science industry, especially for women. mr. speaker, i am truly to h

here in georgia, we have the first state that have legal hemp growing in south georgia. we are doing things commercially. the commercial aspect holds up when you have illegal marijuana because hemp does not have high thc content, it is less than 5%, but it gives you more from the plant. you can make clothes, oils, you can do industrial stuff for that, so it is a great way to get our economy -- i do support it. i feel sorry for the people who have to use dispensaries. they have to pay the government taxes, which they showed, but our government does not set it up to where they can take their money and bank it. they are just stacking their money up and cannot get any interest off it. r.j. reynolds in virginia just put $2 million into research and development in trying to get marijuana into tobacco. budweiser just dropped money into research and development to try to use cannabis in beer. corporations are doing it. i just think by me living in the bible belt in an evangelical state, we will not see it -- i hope we would. host: let's go to jessica, who is calling from arlingt

as well as those leading georgia's trade efforts? we have the port of savannah, one of the fastest growing ports in the country -- to show how we can export around the world? >> if you sweeten your deal with a slice of pecan pie, it's a deal. >> it's a deal. >> let the record reflect the commitment that's been made here today. i want to thank you for joining us, grateful for your testimony. we'll proceed the second panel. senator durben has returned. i'll return the gavel for him to introduce the witnesses for the second panel. please come forward at this time. >>> special thanks to the secretary of agriculture. and i think it's been 20 years since he's prepared me for the judiciary committee. and thank you for your services to our country. we have a second panel coming up. and i'll tell you who they are. rene custra is from my home state of illinois. they operate a grain farm in wood stock. they were dairy farmers for 30 years. it's one of the highest producing farms in illinois. good for you. received several awards for production

host: richard, georgia, democrat side. caller: i would like to make the point that at no time have you seen the blm marches attacked the capitol. the insurrectionists during january sixth wanted to assault democracy and the constitution. jim jordan ought to be ashamed of himself and lindsey graham. i want to get into lindsey graham's head to straighten him out. he is disruptive as well. we need to get these laws passed on voting rights, so that all americans, black, green, blue, whatever they can vote like we did in 2020. black lives matter did not attack the capitol in none of their marches. host: kelly armstrong of north dakota is one of the selections by the republican party. a call next from north dakota. we have one from new jersey. tom, new jersey, republican line. caller: for anybody to accept any information from this committee is going to have to be bipartisan. you take any law or anything else. you have a jury. who picks the jury? not just the prosecutor, but the prosecutor gets to pick who he wants, the defense

the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from georgia rise? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. >> when i hear from our friends and neighbors across georgia, there is no issue that families find more concerning than that of the cost of their health care. as a two-time breast cancer survivor, access to quality health care is very, very personal to me. mrs. mcbath: while i was in the hospital, all i had to do was focus on the strength of my family, my grace from the god i love in winning my battle with cancer. yet, still far too many families are forced to worry about pain from their chemotherapy versus affording the mortgage on their home. that's why i continue to work so hard every day to expand affordable health care for families across georgia and across the nation and why i'm so proud that my bill to cut health care costs for those that have been laid off during this pandemic was signed int

this time, especially in georgia and battleground states, blacks showed up. they stood in line despite the suppression tactics by the republicans. i think people were committed, not necessarily for biden, but wanting to stop him and not wanting to have another four years of the drama. i think people were exhausted by donald trump. guest: that's a really good point. that does show up in our data. i mentioned earlier that republican voters overall were very motivated voting for trump rather than against biden. about seven in 10 republicans said they were voting for trump rather than against biden. democratic side, democrats said they were voting against trump rather than for biden. in a lot of ways, this was an election that was all about trump on both sides. republicans were voting for trump and democrats were voting against him. host: can you look at your data biden won in 2020 and hillary clinton lost in 2016? is there anything in the data that helps explain that? guest: i think it's a lot of these are small shifts. we saw in our data this was not an overwhe

the caller from georgia, the teacher from south carolina. there is no curriculum at any level of public schools that talks about teaching anything like critical race theory. it is a law school course, people. and most of the people calling in are not going to understand that there there is no curriculum. it is for law schools and it helps people look at the world and look at laws that have evolved in this country that came out of racism. so that scares me that you can give people information and they still do not get it. host: let's go to david, who is calling from denison, texas. good morning. caller: let's straighten out a couple of things. someone talked about british slavery in the 1700s. they abolished it in 1733, and that's misleading. they did not abolish it in america, where they had british people pay for it through bonds that were paid over hundreds of years. that made slaveholders extremely rich over the years. anyway -- the three fourths of a human being thing in the constitution was something pushed by the north to reduce the po

host: dustin in suwanee, georgia. this is michael in marietta, georgia, good morning. you say you are seeing the impacts in marietta. caller: yes, i would just like to say to all americans that the antichrist movement is a lie in our democratic party. host: michael, a different topic, do you want to talk about inflation? caller: i think it is hurting all americans and christians all over the united states. until we expose the antichrist movement. host: that is michael in marietta, georgia. we will try to stay on the topic of inflation, asking you how it has impacted your family's finances. (202)-748-8000 if you say yes. (202)-748-8001 if you say no. having this conversation as "the washington post" puts it on the front page of their newspaper "president biden is revving democrats for a massive spending package, a pep rally aims at uniting the party on a budget package and infrastructure, a $4 trillion in new spending if you combine all of what democrats are looking to spend," yesterday at the white house, jen psaki was talking about the president's rally on capitol hil

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

he called the secretary of state in georgia and said just go find me 11,000 votes, that's all i'm looking for. after that appalling attempt election fraud, it was exposed to the whole world rather than everybody apologizing for it and trying to figure out what we do to protect election administrators, now there is an effort to displace him and run somebody against him so they have a sufficiently advantage and subservient secretary of state in georgia. it's amazing to watch that. what about the idea of the increasingly partisan election officials were being targeted around the country should be deferred to in terms of the voting rights of the people? >> thank you so much for that question. i appreciate the point of secretary adams. the state laboratories produced some of the most disenfranchised systems. the 1890 election disenfranchised most african-americans. other southern states followed suit. the point is well taken but at the same time, sometimes they are laboratories for ill. there is a list of things that will serve as a national conception of democracy. democracy cannot be a state

twitter that says there is a two-year minimum weight for low income housing apartments in warner robins, georgia south of atlanta. these apartments are important is that weight -- is that way in particular unusual across the country? host: the weight is not -- guest: the weight is not unusual. those weight lists could vary from several months to several years. we all -- we absolutely need to expand the program. it is also essential that we ensure these properties are kept up. a couple of the commenters are right. much of our affordable housing stock is in poor condition due to decades of declining resources to repair these units and keep them and sanitary condition. public housing for example has been underfunded for decades. and now has a $70 billion needs backlog. it would cost that to maintain these properties in sanitary conditions and to keep it for the generations who will need it in the future. that is the additional investment we are urging in public housing, so it is safe and sanitary for people who live there today and generations who will need it. host: richard and minneapolis, minnes

former president trump famously placed a phone call to georgia state secretary of state. [indiscernible] we also found -- interference abounded. many officials told the truth and refuse to undermine the process -- replace the secretary of state as the chair of the state election board with a political appointee. every -- virtually every election worker we spoke with said this was fueled by misinformation about the election. lies about the election, in particular the lie that was stolen -- attacks on election officials. we compare that to [indiscernible] maricopa chi was an example in real time. the disinformation campaign they built continues. when secretary of state katie han -- election review. they began -- a personal security detail. our report included three ways congress can help. the department of justice needs to announce a task force to investigate threats and intimidation. we need funding for safety changes for physical security of election offices. the disinformation is daunting. social media companies should promote truthful information over conspiracy theorie

the gentlewoman from georgia, ms. williams, the vice chair of the subcommittee has five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. my top priority in congress is that those marginalized remain involved in the consideration. this means that those with marginalized are going to have access with those who are involved in. ms. hammer, how can you be communicating with those investing for the first time to be avoiding predators? >> thank for the question. protection is a key issue. i refer to several key agencies is in erisa in the department of labor is something that we think about in these markets. investors have different risk profilessh and different periods of time that you can think of, and not every asset is available for every vehicle. today, we are seeing the crypto currency amming inst younger investors through feel strongly that coordination from fsoc is important through consumer protection and that we have the data and the resources to evaluate what is happening in the market. without a official data source, we are

al is in georgia, independent, good morning. caller: good morning. i just listened to your previous guest. i am very much opposed to the idea that limited government should take precedence over the real problems that we have. what we actually have that is the problem is we have dysfunctional government and we need to have the recognition of the real problems facing us today. we do have crumbling infrastructure. interstate 16 in georgia just got close down on about a 20 mile stretch because someone hit a bridge. we have issues of infrastructure all over the country. we also have a never before in history problem we confront an climate change, and these are not simple problems, not problems that can be solved by just saving money. it is like if we are in a war, we have to do things to support the troops on the ground regardless of what it costs. the same thing is here. we need to move, as they say, boldly and put enough money into our system so we can address climate change and address the crumbling infrastructure so our children have a decent place to

he called the secretary of state in georgia and said find me 11,000 votes. after that appalling attempt at election fraud was exposed to the whole world, rather than everybody apologizing for, figuring out how to protect, there is an effort to displace him and run against him so they can have a subservient secretary of state in georgia. it is absolutely amazing to watch that. what about the idea of the increasingly partisan officials were targeted should be deferred to terms of the voting rights of the people. >> thank you so much for that question. i appreciate the point, because the states are not laboratories. they produce some of the most disenfranchised measures in our history. for look at the mississippi constitution of 1890, the state substantially disenfranchised all of the african-americans within the states eared a laboratories point -- point is well taken but i'm looking at hr one as a list of practices. it is a list of things that will further a national conception of democracy. i cannot be a state level conception. we have to have some sense of

we will see what the impact is with the georgia case that the biden administration filed, where they make more progress of about discriminatory intent and the number of -- maybe greater than we have seen in arizona. they, the heels of an election that lawmakers who passed the bill were disappointed in. that may be the follow a case that tells us how far the arizona decision is going to go. that is the case. i just want to add -- >> it was interesting for me to look at the brnovich case involving donor disclosures, not only because you had the same split among the justices, but also because of the different way the court looked at state interests versus minority interests. you saw the donor disclosure case, the board took a broad reading -- the court broad reading and said, you have never based any investigation at all on these schedule b's that have been filed, you've got other ways we can investigate conflicts of interest or fraud in charities, and the burden of these donors -- a subset of donors -- people who contributed $5,000 or more to charity and that may can -- that may includ

fast forward to today, and let's take that georgia legislation, what is that legislation saying? there are going to be mandated weekend hours, expanded opportunities for malin, and expansion. putting some guardrails on what you can and can't do, sitting rules out before the election, colorado wants to do all malin and have a system for that. i'm fine with colorado deciding what colorado wants to do. i don't think it is a good idea to centralize this all in washington, but you are right and i think these issues -- there have been troubled histories and that is where it is right for the federal government to step in. we are looking at situations where how we had record turnout in voting, where you are having that happen, no one is being denied the right to vote but what we want to make sure of is, going back to the original premise, i think ensuring everyone has confidence in that system. host: back to a comment for you on text. you can send us a text at (202)-748-8003. sheila says this. until congress gets back to people over party, it makes no difference who is in control. stand

they decided if it doesn't work and you know in georgia and texas, all around me small businesses, they started a family leave policy and able to support a great expense to them this family leave to let that partner take care of his partner so they are going to testify about this and we need to help our small businesses for enormous financial pressure to deal with their commitment to their own employees who they regard as family. look over to introducing him and working with the committee to see if we can make progress on family leave. thank you. >> thank you so much. our next witness about the national cash the american federation of government employees. then we will hear from vicki, senior fellow for paid leave policy strategy in the better life lab at new america. we also have the director of policy at the independent form and finally we will hear from renÉe, interim vice president for economic justice and congressional liberation at the national partnership for women and families. the witnesses will be on muted so we can swear them in. raise your right hand, you swear or affirm th

host: that was max in georgia. ms. durkin, go ahead. guest: first i want to talk about antibodies prior to the infection. the concern is we really don't know how long that lasts come which is why they still encourage people who have had the disease to get the vaccine. and the truth of it not being dangerous to certain age groups, we saw that this was a disease that is more deadly in older americans, but i think the concern is not just for personal safety, but it is also -- if there were so many people who got the virus, many did not get symptoms but they could easily give it to other people who are more vulnerable. that is really the concern there. the other concern is if there is more disease, that means there could be an emergence of other variants where it could be even more deadly. host: this is a comment made. she says regarding the emergency use authorization, if the vaccines were not safe, they would not have been approved for emergency use. guest: yes, the fda does take that into consideration. effectiveness data from clinical t

the justice department has already brought a challenge to the lot in georgia on this basis. the supreme court's decision will make it much harder to be able to bring successful challenges to these laws. in our country, there are today different narratives about voting. the republican narrative is that voting fraud is a significant problem the government has to deal with it. you certainly find that in justice alito's majority opinion. the democratic narrative is that voter suppression is a major problem and that fraud is nonexistent or rare. six justices were appointed by republican presidents and accepted the republican narrative. appointed by democratic the three dissenting justicesappointed by democratic presidents took the democratic narrative. dahlia: and melissa you have the , unenviable task of adding nuance to that in about two minutes if you will. melissa: i agree with everything that erwin has said. i will note that what bernadette does not make -- bernavic is how does not make clear the roberts court has been assertive in shaping the landscape for the law. in addit

here is kathy in georgia. those of us who follow mitigation protocols have to call -- continue wearing masks because of the unvaccinated and unmasked. isaac in connecticut. caller: i will not do the mask. i will not do the vaccine. i'm not participating in the pandemic. i feel it is all bs. any concept of a vaccine passport is unconstitutional. it is a vaccine contrition. it is self-incrimination. the absence of a vaccine would prove it would be unconstitutional under the fifth amendment. host: do you plan to travel on an airplane, bus, or railway? caller: those are private entities. i do understand that private businesses can -- they have limited ability to require certain behavior. all you have to do is try and apply other things. it would just sound ridiculous. host: usa today's editorial board said it is time for sticks. the authority over the federal aviation administration would require airlines to mandate their passengers show proof of a vaccination and under interstate commerce laws with railways. call

let's go to lorraine calling from georgia. good morning. caller: good morning. go ahead, lorraine. caller: yes. my comment is i do support the athletes because they have a right to express their beliefs and feelings. but i want to bring something to attention for the people who say they should not be doing it. did these same people have that type of belief when the january 6 insurrection happened at the capitol where people were killed and senators and representatives were running to save their lives? if you say, you know, like most republicans are saying it is just a love fest. how can you comment and say these athletes who are peacefully protesting -- and most of it is true about the racial injustice -- how can you comment on that negatively and yet, this whole republican party want us to think it was a lovefest? america, wake up. you cannot have one belief or one protest and the protest on january was deadly. host: let's go to eva calling from brighton, colorado. caller: good morning. i oppose and i agree with the lady from arizona. protesting should not be allowed in the olympi
