repeated flooding on the mississippi river. the south is a predominately minority population and faces unique economic challenges which are made worse by the recurrence of flooding. this region is flooded in eight out of the last 10 years and most recently this year with nearly 300,000 acres inundated. flooding was worse in 2019 with over half a million acres under water for months. water over top roads closed three highways cat many residents are from leaving their homes 32 and 31,000 acres of cropland were flooded destroying livelihoods in a region where a group culture is the main income driver and wildlife was forced to flee to higher ground pick 686 acres were destroyed and two people were tragically killed. according to one study from mississippi state university the 2019 backwater floods resulted in residents with $2000 in a pocket expenses. q. in you imagine people refusing to build levees around the property to keep the floodwaters from encroaching. these are cost of many residents cannot afford. roughly one third of t

they have made mississippi state and the entire magnolia state of mississippi proud. in the words of the late jack crystal, the voice of the bulldogs for many, many years, you can wrap this one in the maroon and white. i yield to my colleague from mississippi. hide. mrs. hyde-smith: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from mississippi hyde thank you. i'm pleased in congratulating mississippi state university baseball team on its recent 2021ncaa world series championship, the first ncaa championship in school history. mississippi state capped off its extraordinary season by defeating an incredibly talented vanderbilt university team 9-0 in game three. my house was full. we were all cheering. their impressive and remarkable run through this year's college world series is a testament to the rich tradition of the m.s.. baseball program which has now appeared in 12ncaa college world series in its history, including most recently three consecutive series. the inspiring performance of this baseball team continues to be celebrated all over our state, maroon is e

mississippi is one great example of a u.s. company conducting rmd in the materials and whose innovations are being replicated around the world.oo the committee took steps as the chair mentioned in passing the endless frontier act known as the innovation competition act. this bill, authored by senator young passed to the vote by 68 to 32 ways to address vulnerabilities that also includes emergency appropriations to support semi conductor manufacturing and r&d. this is a much-needed responsive semi conductor shortages that haveuc disrupted manufacturing across the nation including my home state of mississippi and we will hear about that from the distinguished panel. the legislation includes important contributions from the finance committee to combat china's manufacturing and balances and threats to free and fair trade to discuss how thee united states innovation competition act can make the supply chains more resilient anm to share thoughts on how the department of commerce might implement various positions of the bill. the hou

a city it was a swampy trading post a very inaccessible because the only way of getting down to the mississippi river was through an ugly portage called bud lake. even in 1673, two explorers said hey there should be a canal here. if you connect the chicago river to lake michigan, the great lakes, the erie canal, new york city you can get to new orleans because internet to the illinois river, then the mississippi and onto the chosen city. that was on the first impressions that young abraham lincoln had as the nation was growing in the 1830s, it was really a time that we don't really study a whole lot. because we mostly skip from the revolution to the civil war, there is a lot of history in between. one of the reasons i wrote the book was because i wanted to know, how did our country developed? what did we need to do to get where we are today? and eventually what do we need to do to get deeper into the future into the more equitable present. what was really important about that trip was a very huckleberry finn like trip for lincoln it changes worldview changes thinking. a change how he said thing

it was to march from memphis to jacksonville mississippi. and then they would go into the community's purpose was to register voters. and is there that they began to go around the confederate monuments. the statutes are in the town squares, the center of town are they are on courthouse lawn. which is also where people like maybe register to vote, at the courthouse. it is a confrontation with confederate monuments in its reclamation of the state that confederate monuments sit on. and they have dominated for so long. and so once you see that happening, and then by 1970s, you begin to see individuals who are civil rights veterans are being elected to the local city councils for the first time. they begin to challenge with the representatives of government now and they're going to challenge these monuments on the courthouse lawn. bjorn: a great topic, one of the people that you talk about is harvey, from charlottesville. karen: charlotte's. it's easy to confuse. bjorn: the things that harvey did in the city. karen: right so harvey began, maybe p

it is a leading manufacturer in mississippi. taylor builds forklifts and a wide variety of material handling machines for both industry and defense purposes. mr. taylor has first-hand experience with the topics we will cover, and i know he and other members of the panel will make a valuable contribution to this discussion. thank you, ma'am. >> thank you, senator wicker, for leading up with you, doctor, thank you so much when you get were honored to have you before the committee and their expertise in this area. please proceed, dr. gereffi. [inaudible] >> madame chair cantwell, ranking member wicker, members of the senate commerce committee, it's a pleasure and an honor to be invited to testify before you today. my name is gary jarecki. i've been a professor at duke university for many years and i direct the global value chains center there and i spent a number of decades studying global supply chains and this is the first time that a think my neighbors and friends want to talk about that topic. not necessarily for good reasons t

the bottom line coming out of jones versus mississippi is not the uneven landscape for juvenile offenders but state level criminal justice positions like state judges are important for determining the juvenile justice system will be played out and how juvenile offenders will be treated under the system given the uneven nature of it. >> can you walk us through part of an increasing trend towards making it harder and harder? >> it involves the taking of the constitution which is the government can take private properties but page compensation. by the time the supreme court found two ways of taking it, one is called possessory taking, the government confiscates or physically occupies property, the other kind of taking is a regular taking and here it is already accumulation that is too far in the court's words and becomes a taking and requires showing government regulation does not use property. this case involves a california law that requires the agricultural employers around union organizers access to the property for 3 hours a day, 120 days a year. the question before the court, is this a

then they went to mississippi where medgar evers was gunned down. standing on the spot where medgar evers fell, john's voice caught as he said the man this man -- the night this man was killed something died in all of us in the civil rights movement. john led us there because he wanted us to never forget the terrible sacrifices made by so many to fulfill the promises by our nation and secure voting rights. this saturday will mark the first one-year anniversary of john lewis' passing. i miss him. he was a real friend. when he left us, something in all of us wept. but we can't keep the spirit of john lewis alive by p defending the greatest cause of his life, the cause -- i should say that we can keep the spirit of john lewis alive by about defending the greatest cause of his life, the cause for which he nearly died as a young man on that bridge in selma, the right of every american to vote. madam president, i yield the floor. before i yield, i have 11 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate with the approval of the majorit

zack in leland, mississippi is up first. zack, go ahead. >> caller: well, since the inception of this country, we as african americans have given our all. the first person who died for this country was [inaudible]. so we've constantly been trying to be accepted into society. we've given our blood, our soul, our spirit, our language, and everything, but yet we have not been considered a part. we can't take off our black skin like a police officer or fireman or whatever can take off and become something else. we're always having to deal with a stigma of being black. if we haven't resolved the whole issue of slavery in terms of making some kind of equitable situation, then some black kid says to himself what's wrong with me? why am i so poor? why is everybody that looks like me are in this situation? i'm sure white kids are like why are little tommy and little sally, why are they living like that? they see the results of systemic racism, and they ask questions but they are born into it like all of us, but there are people who c

the chair of the select committee is bennie thompson democrat of mississippi who's also the chair of the homeland security committee at the house. adam schiff democrat of california who's a chair of the intelligence committee, and zoe lofgren from california who is the chair of the house administration committee who has oversight over the capitolt grounds. also you see the other democrats on your screen as well, congressman i aguilera, stephe murphy of florida, jamie raskin of maryland and congresswoman luria of virginia all of them serving on this committee this morning. there committee begins their work at 10 a.m. eastern time on c-span3 this morning. president r president, issued a statement last night saying this about the select committee "nancy pelosi is spending a great deal of time, effort, and money on the formulation of a fake committee to ask what happened. will nancy investigate herself and those host: what are your thoughts on this select committee? they begin today, the chair of the committee, bennie thompson, has said they could call former president trump to testify a

louisiana mississippi were majority black states and ground zero for reconstruction was south carolina and georgia alabama and florida were almost majority black so there is a real concentration of black power as was said to be in the film in the six southern states. that was true even before the civil war. it was called me grow country because it was so full of black people. and because of the economy and the productivity of the whites and the expertise of africans they brought to south carolina. but also a sizable three black community the ame church formed in philadelphia by richard allen. and formally born in the year 1860 in charleston, and there is the emmanuel church and in 1822, a man was accused of plotting and insurrection in charleston. that he was free how did he get free? listen to this because this is one of the ironies of american history and the complexity of history. and enslave man in 1799 he plays the lottery i get the convenience store and $11500. he used 600 of those dollars to buy his own freedom from his so-called owners so then he was free then in 1822 is a very

for iowa, that's the mississippi and missouri rivers. for other states, it's a lot of other important rivers. i ask my colleagues to take this important mode of transportation into account as they work on legislation. i've also sent this request in letter to both the senate environment and public works as well as the appropriations committees. the inland and intercoastal waterways and our ports are vital to the united states and serve 41 states throughout our nation. shippers and consumers depend on the ability to move around 630 million tons of cargo each year valued at about $232 billion on these waterways. in turn, the inland waterways system supports well over half a million jobs. now, i'm going to go into some of the information that is on the chart here. our nation's inland waterways system also provides a safe, cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly way to move our bulk products. this translates into more than $12 billion annually in transportation savings to the american economy. furthermore -- and this is -

the mississippi state conference of what used to be the future homemakers of o america. yes, just toward the endti i was starting to use hand sanitizer and think maybe we shouldn't be hugging. i had written the first, gosh, i do not remember what i had written. at least a draft of most of the book by that point. but i had not written the preface or the conclusion. i don't think i had written the last chapter either about today. so when ie was doing the beginning of the end of the book, i was really thinking very much about household work and how undervalued it is. especially bringing forward this question of how much work parents do and how much it is to train them. one of the reasons have hope home economics in school he write the conclusion is parents are already being asked to do everything. can't parents offload something? [laughter] >> as someone has mentioned before this started, i did not have home economics in my school. for me it still is very much a cultural touch zone for annexing represented so many places. it always looks really fun. i cannot see why you wou

. >> guest: lee surrendered in april and the army of mississippi kept fighting. and it was in texas near brownsville which the confederates worn, but decided the effort was for not. and they surrendered that is when granger goes into take control of texas. with his troops obviously. >> host: as a texas native, did you grow up knowing about this juneteenth? >> guest: yes, i did know the detailsra of granger those kind of things but guess i did grow up celebrant juneteenth. i've had the occasion people asked when i first but i do not remember time and we were not celebrating, mainly by the african american community. frankly it became a texas state holiday in 1980. before then i sought as the black community this is when the slaves were freed that is what i said as a kid. and we barbecued, had soda water and dead firecrackers. they were little kids below the age of ten with firecrackers and matches and sparklers and those kind of things but that is what i remember about the day. >> host: one of the term juneteenth come from? >> guest: mostly people say it's just a

they have a supreme court ruling that james meredith be admitted to the university of mississippi. they had what burke marshall called a potential insurgency, interesting word, on their hands. all hell could break loose if this governor did not do his job. so the buildup to that was just this dance, you know, to try to -- then he said he would, and then he didn't, and there was a full-scale riot, on the campus of ole miss. meredith was protected. the only -- marshalls could shoot to kill only if meredith was threatened. two people were shot and killed. and then they called up the army and the army got delayed. robert kennedy said it was the worst night of my life. i mean, he and the president and their aides were sitting in the white house, passing back, calling in from a pay phone -- this is way before cell phones -- and it was just awful, and after it was over, someone asked him what his brother had learned. i really thought this was interesting -- from the crisis. and he said my brother learned never to believe a book on reconstruction again, the old school interpretation, the p

look at mississippi constitution of 1890 a constitution where the state substantially disenfranchised most of the african-americans within the state and other southern governments followed suit and mississippi's effort, yes, the laboratory point is well-taken, but sometimes use their laboratories for ill. and a list of best practices, it's a list of things that will further a national conception of democracy. democracy could not be a state level conception we have to have some sense of who we are as a national democracy if we hold ourselves as a national democracy. hr-1 with that goal, and leaving the discretion over the apparatus in the state. >> my time is up, but could you answer my question. >> i don't have much to add to the discussion, in the bureaucracy-- innovation, i think the best way to think about this is, you know, from the kind of quasi, and fundamental attention would have been two levels of legislatures, the idea that you would have anything like a secretary of state at the state level responding to elections, and obviously, would have been anomaly in that period. so w

the presiding officer: the senator from mississippi is recognized. mr. wicker: i'm told that the distinguished senator from georgia may have some follow-up unanimous consent -- okay, if not, i'm happy to proceed. madam president, i rise today pointing out an injustice done by the authorities running the tokyo olympics. this morning americans learned the news that sam kendricks, an american double world champion pole as a resulter from -- vaulter from oxford, mississippi, has been shut out from competing in the olympics after a positive covid-19 test today, almost certainly a false-positive covid-19 test. this is an injustice that can still be rectified. if the olympic committee will be fair. for those of you who don't know sam, he's an alum of the university of mississippi, old miss, where he took back-to-back ncaa championships before launching his professional career. he won the u.s. olympic trials in 23016 and went on to the rheoolympics where he took on the -- the rio olympics where he took home the gold medal. then you probably do remember sam kendr

[laughter] lee surrendered in april, and the army of the trans-mississippi kept fighting, had the last ballot of the civil war near brownsville. which the confederates won, actually. but decided that the effort was, you know, for naught, and they surrendered, and that's when granger goes in to take control of texas. with his troops, obviously. [laughter] >> host: as a texas native, did you grow up knowing about this juneteenth? >> guest: yes, i didn't know the details of grapinger and all those kinds of things -- granger and all those things we've been talking about, but, yes. i've had to occasion, people have asked me when did i first, and i don't remember a time when we were not celebrating, we did not celebrate juneteenth. it was a family holiday, a community holiday. i don't think we talked very much about -- i don't recall talking about it in school. but this was a holiday that was carried forward as far as i knew mainly by people in the african-american community. i thought of it as a black holiday. thankfully, it became a texas state holiday in 1980. but before then i saw it as

and also the mississippi delta. another turning point in his life and understanding. patricia: that is a great question. i'll try to answer them. the fact this is huge. the biggest financial crisis in 1963 and this role governor, they have supreme court ruling to be admitted and mississippi. they had what burke marshall calls and insurgency. it was on the hands. all heck could break loose. if they did not do this job. so the build up to that was to try to and when he said he would and then he didn't and marshall and a riot. on the campus. [inaudible]. and it was protected. and the only marshall could shoot to kill only if is threatened. and two people were shot and killed. in a call of the army in the army center was the worst night of my life. nina present the raids were sitting the white house rated their calling from a payphone. this was way before cell phones. and it was just awful. and after it was over, someone asked me what his brother had learned. this was interesting from the crisis in a semi- brother lord never to trust or believe another, the old-school int

for joining us have the link below this is great i really enjoyed listening and if you ever do get to mississippi please come to the store. >> i want to thank you in person. jim this is amazing i want to read your book can i get a copy to the bookstore? >> yes. you are half my order tomorrow. >> we can get it all figured out. >> have a good night. >> will come and today i have a very special guest, jack phillips. you may remember him and know him as the masterpiece cake shop in colorado and he has just written an amazing book calling the cost of my faith how my decision took me to the supreme court.

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,

of cyst subsistence living some another went north and then thinking back always to that moment in mississippi it was recurring and she told that many many times. the hero of the story as she told it even though the family was cheated, tricked into give up their livestock and their things and their land but margaret szabo is happening and ran out the back door and got one of their cows and walked over to their neighbors house so she saved that one cow which was incredible and how they would've been lost without that one cow because i'm so fortunate to have because of the story of resilience. >> you write i never met her or even saw a picture of her but i have seen in touch and admire the work of her hands is just as colorful. the fabric from the blankets and dignity preserved and help in dire times so this comes to the end of our time and asking you questions earlier of calling you to action i thought you might talk a little bit more the burden of relations but also contains model for repurposed thing and regenerating relationships as they engage in workup shared purpose. there are a number of

georgia and mississippi. not so much texas when it actually was. so the purpose of the book is to disavow of that notion it's all about the west. but east texas where i grew up in a couple of cases from georgia and mississippi was the state society and it was dealing with all of that today. host: have you been able to trace back your family thoroughly? >> not thoroughly i can him another side in texas through the 18 twenties. my father side from the 1860s or a little before. i have deep roots in texas and my family the family and my mother's i did not join the black diaspora mainly they went to california and went west but there were other places as well. they didn't stay there i am the anomaly to leave texas to go to school in new hampshire at dartmouth. but to live outside of texas. most of my family is in texas. when they left to go somewhere he went to dallas or san antonio. they did not come to new york or l.a. most of my family is still there. host: bacteria book on page t101 i was taken to see it with my best friend. >> it was a big deal in

the presiding officer: the senator from mississippi. mr. wicker: if i might be recognized, madam president, one other thing that our colleagues might not understand about the osce is their role in election observation. as we were leaving sofia on the morning of july 11, we crossed paths with some other representatives of the osce from european countries to observe the parliamentary elections in bulgaria that very day. also that same day, moll dovia was having parliamentary elections. we have every hope that the result of these elections will be a further resolve in those two nation members to counter the corruption at the highest level. and we want to congratulate both of those member states a of the osce -- states of the osce for a free and fair election in europe. with that, i thank my colleague, and i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. barrasso: thank you, madam president. i a

as it jackson mississippi the fires are burning but they are firemen. their fire stations. so these friends of liberty are just so good. adf is 17 in a row on the supreme court. but end with your recommendations to these good people and those that are watching. what can ordinary americans due to defendant religious freedom? then we will a couple questions. >> i suggested two things already. one is transmission. i think we need to educate ourselves because of the collapse of >> education in the united states, the young people are not learning about a culture of freedom there probably learning in many schools as you all know different kinds of attitudes towards the united states. my responses excuse me? a people living out of the united states to venezuela and cuba and central america? that does not seem to be the case and may be missing something here if we are such a terribly oppressive regime. that is what is being perpetuated in schools. we have to do some home education there is one person is an alum of homeschooling. homeschooling's at the 10% before the pandemic was 5%

people that live in georgia, mississippi, places like that as slave societies, not so much texas where it actually was. so the purpose of the book was to disabuse people of that notion that it's all about the west. the wes is important, i don't want to, you know, you can't downplay that. but east texas where i grew up, where my ancestors were brought from in one case, a couple of cases from georgia and from mississippi, was a slave society. and the state is still dealing with all of that today. >> host: have you been able to trace back your family? pretty thoroughly? >> guest: not thoroughly. i can place my family on my mother's side in texas to at least the 1820s. on my father's side, from the 1860s, maybe a little bit before then. so, you know, i have deep roots in texas, and my family did not -- on either my mother's side or my father's side, they did not join the black diaspora when blacks left the south and came from texas mainly they went to california, they went westful my family stayed there. i'm sort of the anomaly of having left texas to go to school in the new hampshire at d

steve went to sam to crystal springs, mississippi. sam is on the republican line go ahead. >> caller: i'm sitting here looking at the sky, he looks like a total joke. stuart, you can call in and agree or disagree with our guest. but do not call into insult the looks or the background of our guests. that is beyond the realm of civilized conversation. we'll go to market in fort lauderdale, florida good morning. >> hello. as always thank you especially happy to be able to get through to mr. wolf. hello? >> host: you are on the air. >> mr. wolf, a moment ago you stated something of a critical critical thing. that is who stole the election paid what in the world? how would someone fill a hole in national election broken down into states, broken down into counties, broken down into cities. no one ever really can point that out, outside of trump saying he's going to say something in the future. that being said hope you keep writing and i hope you keep following. i think your next book should be about how people taking trump is him down into

the secret service was a partner is the attorney general's office various law agencies in housing in mississippi on task force. my question is twofold. one, and importance of these task force, alex started as a force will require what you are trying to do with the secret service you all on his standing all the agents will be treated as a national of your organization institute which is located at over out how a vision of institute and the important role that organization serves. >> as either task force is our old network cast for staff by our special agency personnel and our professional workforce of subject matter experts from our network intrusion financial analysts. these are our customers to local communities, to your constituents that bring the information back to our old investigation center able service approach. as you said a lot of what we do on the local level is through the national computer organization institute. as where is the only federal facility to train dstate, local title officers and prosecutors was officers and on entities are really the first responders. the line search ca

jurisdiction was on some other committee and the chairman of the committee who was and still is from mississippi used to ask for more jurisdiction and yeah we will consider it, we will consider it but it's the largest unfulfilled suggestion of the 9/11 commission. >> that is sad but true. another impact of 9/11 and the vardy mentioned this was the decision to invade iraq which you supported at the time. but it was based on serious mistakes in the intelligence. given all of the intelligence agencies etc. throughout the federal government what is your analysis of how we got the intel so wrong? >> well let's understand you mentioned the 1947 national security act that created the defense structure. also created the intelligence structure and what it was -- what he created was a little-known agency one of which is called the cia which had a management function over a community, the intelligence community called community management service run by the cia. so it went along over the years and the cia was very much challenged in the technology department. when i was elected to congress in 1992 and the

to illegally squatting on their land it's all part of an effort to force indians to move west of the mississippi river as america's them and trying to get them to do since the beginning of the country and allow whites to take the land. now, native american people are against this. sometimes militarily through poor conflicts. but also through law is what they were told to do. it's what they're told civilized people did, use the law. all of these were ultimately unsuccessful. especially in these five tribes. as you probably know, this is mick going onto the 1820s. the 1830s with president jackson show support for what they are doing by advocating for the removal act. now, for good reason the removal for many tribes is considered to be a foundational journey we try to take from this talk is indian removal, the trail of tears of that same thing for many enslaved people who endured alongside their owners in the five tribes. with remembered removal as a trauma solidified their membership in these tribes and their shared history with tribes. there are two different ways they intersect. it's what i've j

they immediately reached out in mississippi to connect these black on a small scale growers performs during the pandemic. ten purpose in the property for approved for these funds with critical funding to keep their firms during the pandemic. the total is 597, almost 29 minutes. there is still a great need for additional funds for rural businesses. totaling $2 million from mcu along including minority owned businesses on the brink of closing their doors. despite fda's many successes, substantial number of small businesses rural and tribal small businesses that are excessive federal funds. this community navigating private program culturally knowledgeable for technical assistance in rh. in closing, services provided critical assistance for small communities where it's most needed especially responding to the covert pandemic. we must use the pandemic to put a stake in the ground and start thinking innovatively how we address long-term in equities that led behind the counter parts. if we don't, we may never make up that cap thank you for inviting me to testify. >> thank you. we now recog

they reached out to the uncooperative in mississippi to commence these two the farms in the pandemic. more than ten members were approved for loans giving the fundamental required for the pandemic. there is a great need however for additional funds for the rural small businesses. this included more than 50 applications totaling almost $2 million from the cac alone. despite the successes a substantial number of businesses have difficulty accessing the programs with help from experienced technical assistance providers, the small businesses can better access and manage federal funds. technical assistance plays a vital role in ensuring the programs serve the vulnerable small businesses they were designed to support. this provides grants to those in the rural communities to engage trusted cultural to conduct technical t assistance and outreach. technical assistance is the keyi to fostering which in turn mitigates the risk for capital investment badly needed in the communities. in closing, service is provided for the fda deliver critical assistance to small disadvantaged communities where i
