printed and distributed to the states for ratification consideration at the state level. this is really make amazing rare survivor, 15 or so survived from 1787. this is the only one who still remains, the rest are institutional collections. it's a rare opportunity to seek a dunlop claypool printing on display and of course there's a lot of connection between the constitutional convention decides on and presents to the state between the connections between the revolutionary state constitution like massachusetts and pennsylvania we talked about. what are some of thehelv lessons constitutional convention learned from processing of creating constitution? can you share some interesting stories? >> a huge topic we won't be able to cover everything but there is a connection between what americans are doing at a state level in 1976 through the 1780s to 1877 i think one of the most fascinating questions in american history because as we see, americans are getting a lot of experience writing the constitution but it's for their states which is difficult enough, there are so many thi

of the morning important part of this is how lines are drawn from state tomp state and republicans get to draw the maps in 20 states totaling 187 districts because state legislatures for the most part are the ones that bear responsibility for this compared to 75 districts in eight states that democrats control so republicans control more than twice as many districts as democrats and there are also 10 states that use independent or bipartisan commission that total 121 districts and six states controlled the split between legislature of one party and the governor of the other so that adds up to 46 districts and then there are six states that only have one district in the upcoming decade and don't need to divide their states into multiple seats. >> six states are gaining members of congress, texas, florida, north carolina, oregon and colorado. seven are losing, new york, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, illinois and west virginia. when people move out of a state like illinois or west virginia, two states that lost population, do they take their politics with them or are they moving out of fr

if you're a state organization or a local organization in washington state or california state, what are the ways in which you can be talking about the importance of and supporting the effort around this policy? >> maura, why don't you go first, i'll follow you. >> sure. i think this event alone shows the importance of this issue and different groups that all care about this coming together and working together to spread this message. i think that a lot of what wade said about what folks on the ground, in states that really need this expansion, really applies to those who are in states that have also -- had already expanded. making sure you're contacting your member of congress, making sure you're telling them you care about this issue, that it is a matter of racial justice, it's a matter of health justice, and just because you have health insurance doesn't mean that the game is over. we need to press forward and make sure that we're all in this together. medicare covers everybody in this country regardless of state. medicaid should as well. >> maura, i think that's absolutely right.

the agent of the state. [inaudible] >> that is just contesting the premise the attorney general could not of appealed that he would've taken in the first place but. >> that's not my position my position stepping outside the hypothetical because of the way the stipulation was written the attorney general could have appealed because it is consistent with him reserving his rights to participate in any subsequent appeal and benefit from any favorable ruling for. >> i apologize for pressing on this. maybe i'm just not understanding and it may be my fault entirely. if you agree and that torres type case to grant intervention rights which i take you to agree, that's a very simple case. it seems to me the petitioners would say that is exactly what happened here because the ag could have appealed, it didn't and is now seeking intervention. if we assume that's the point the ag could have appealed, why doesn't the same result follow? and buffoon hill the fact the virginia house of delegates participated in that case br

i said to him from a qr united states senator, you happen to be elected by the people in your state, i am a united states congressman and i am not district congressman for the sixth congressional district, i am here for the people of caliphate south carolina and of the people in the united states of america and its incumbent upon the country to do what's necessary to expand and get rid of the gap and provide healthcare for all of our citizens. it's the same thing for voting, all states do not conduct themselves the same way so we have to be would ask a national problem and not allow healthcare to be out based upon not just where you live and that is a problem as well but what state you live in will determine your zip code as well. >> thank you so much. on that notion of history is a great informer, you recently wrote a blog entitled racial equity built back better package. can you explain what you meant by that and by closing this gap is a priority for this community? >> thank you for the question and let me say what an honor it is to be with you catalyst and congressman clyburn and

the more important part of this is how lines are drawn from state to state. republicans get to draw the maps in 20 states totaling 187 districts. that is because state legislatures for the most part their responsibility for this compared to 75 district in eight states the democrats control. republicans get to draw more than twice as many districts as a democrat there also ten states independent bipartisan commission that total 121 districts. there are six states with control that is split between a legislature of one party and the governor of the other. that adds up to 46 districts. then there are six states that only have a one district in this upcoming decade and do not need to divide their states into multiple seats. while six states are gaining members of congress texas, florida, north carolina, oregon montana colorado. seven states are losing a member of congress new york, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, illinois and west virginia. when people move out of a state like illinois or west virginia, two states that loss of population or two states each losing a

to ensure it targets states with a persistent pattern of discrimination, it captures the states that only meet a high numeric threshold of violation in the past 25 years, and that review period is critical. it is not frozen in time but rolls forward. jurisdictions without recent violations will automatically drop out. stronger tools are needed to address discrimination and other places and that is why it is important the bill also expands other national protections. as justice kagan observed, this is a perilous moment for the nation's commitment to equal citizenship. safeguarding our democracy and protecting voting rights is one of the most sacred responsibilities this body has. the house has passed the bill and now it's up to the senate to act without delay to pass the john lewis act and freedom to vote act. thank you. >> thank you. do we have attorney general roe kita? we are still waiting. mr. greenbaum, you may proceed for five minutes. >> thank you for giving me the opportunity to testify today on ways in which congress can restore and improve one of the nation's most important

the more important part of this is going to be how lines are drawn from state to state. republicans get to draw the maps in 20 states, totaling 187 districts. that is because state legislatures, for the most part are the ones that bear responsibility, compared to 75 districts in eight states that democrats control. republicans get to drop more than twice as may districts as democrats. there are also 10 states that use independent or bipartisan commissions that total 121 districts. there are six states with control split between the legislature of one and governor of the other. that adds up to 46 districts. there are six states that only have one district in the upcoming decade and do not need to divide their state into multiple seats. >> six states are gaining members of congress, texas, florida, north carolina, oregon, montana and colorado. seven states are losing a member, new york, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, illinois and west virginia. when people move out of estate, like illinois or west virginia, two states have lost population, each of los a c, did they take pol

these include how states help themselves, how we help one another, and the state federal partnership. first, states help themselves by understanding fema as a natural first responder, and by maintaining a good working relationship with our local emergency managers. according to data from a report with our local counterparts, in fiscal year 2020, state and local emergency management organizations managed 19700 and 52 events without federal assistance. additionally, 27 states maintain their own state-funded assistance programs to help citizens and businesses when a disaster or emergency does not meet the criteria for federal assistance. second, states help one another through efforts such as the emergency management assistance compact. celebrating its 2050 or of service, emac has deployed 40,000 personnel in state assistance since 2060 -- 2016 alone. it was emac during the 2016 republican national convention that trained and equipped officers and other states to assist in managing the significant event. finally, the federal state partnership is one of the bed rocks of emergency manageme

china or the united states. we have seen a linkage between the controlled corporate media now the social media systems massive disruption in our fundamental rights creation of the national security act the patriot act the national defense authorization act. so when you look at these two organisms whether it's the chinese reality or the american reality, the american people are not understanding what is developing. and all of this theater we're witnessing is nothing but a bunch of nonsense to rationalize more military more control more foundations more military platforms to destroy the democracy of america. the american people truly need to wake up and demand repeal of the national security act. we're arbitrarily putting our own citizenry in jail based on lies. host: i'm going to jump in. what about the main argument there? guest: the question of how the united states and chinera or democracies and authoritarian societies are responding to the impact of technology on societies and government is a really critical

it's happening in my state and virtually every other state. at this moment state legislators, county commissions are help drawing lines that will help determine who the american people elect to represent them in congress and in their state capitols. for the first time since the days of dr. king's march in washington, congressional, state and local government ledge s slative districts will be drawn without the key preces of the voting rights act. because in 2013 the supreme court issued its 5-4 decision shelby county vs. holder. that section 5 required localities with records of discrimination against voters of color through racist policies like poll taxes and literary tests to ensure any changes to rules were vetted by the justice department before they could be enforced. this requirement is known simply as preclearance and applied to redistricting. but that preclearance requirement, the guarantee of accountability to the voters and adherence to the law is by the supreme court and shelby. as today's witness assistant attorney general clark has

already in the united states and in the united states congress -- also how to compete with china to define so this could also be a way to achieve greater understanding and understand their perspective and again the challenges that we face for example i don't believe we clearly defined when it is that we should complete, when they are cheating and when we need to call them out on it and finally when we ought to cooperate on certain issues like climate change and security in the world. >> this is no small feat to getting the bipartisan legislation that is happening. both of you have spent time talking about china and the challenges it represents but you've talked about it in very different ways and characterized the challenge in different ways. you said china is a communist regime that threatens the city that was a remark from just yesterday i believe following the hypersonic missile reports that came out. why do you think, you've made a compelling case for why this translation center should exist. why do you think that your republican colleagues also like the idea of it? >> are we having a

the size of the state department. the state department and diplomacy are essentially the relationship building part of how we deal with other nations. military represents hopefully a deterrent, but if necessary a coercive force. you want that to be your last option. unfortunately, we have it always prioritized, or built up, the infrastructure for diplomacy that were allowed -- that would allow us to reduce tensions and build alliances around the world to make sure we are in the strongest position in terms of allies and support. it is interesting you mentioned the number of diplomats china has committed they are -- there is right now an imbalance between the u.s. military positions around the world. china only has one military base outside of mainline -- mainland china, that's in djibouti. they are trying to get to other continents around the world, but the u.s. is far ahead of china in that respect. still, they have done a lot of work under their belt and wrote initiative to expand their alliances around the world. wh

the state of nevada. if you look at the resort industry, as you said, brings in 45-ish visitors a year, they use less than 1/10 of 1% of the water. >> are you working with bri on any water conservation project? >> week ordinate with them regularly, on water conservation issues, water quality issues, lake weed and others with respect to the numbers. >> are you involved it all with the st. george water project north of here? >> i am not, but mr. shaw is, if you would like to ask him. >> i will save that for next time. thank you, mr. chairman, i yield back. >> we will go to your nevada neighbor, congresswoman susie lee. you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you for hosting this really important meeting, and to all of our witnesses for their excellent testimony. as congresswoman titus said, southern nevada and the entire southwest are facing unprecedented drought. as we know, in my district, lake mead, which supplies water for over 25 million people across nevada, arizona and california, is at its low

the states attorney general is seeking to uphold a state law banning certain abortion procedures that were struck down by a federal court. that is tonight at eight eastern on c-span2. >> joining us is jacob stokes, program fellow for indo-pacific security at the center for a new american security and we invited youob this morning to talk about china's military power. it's the front page story of the near times. let me shed headlines. china military taunts taiwan testing the united states. what's happening? >> good morning greta and thank me on the show. it's been a busy week in east asia and in the taiwan straits in particular. we saw china fly more than 100, almost 150 aircraft into what's known as taiwan's air defense identification zone over the course of four days. it's important to note the air defense identification zone is not the same as territorial airspace which was at about 12 nautical miles from the territory of taiwan. the air defense identification zone is much further out. so these incursions were definitely provocative and intimidating toward the government in taiwan,

, there are $27.00 states that still have none. novelty and united states. and those $27.00 states are going to have the each one, abolish the death penalty. if you are going to have an abortion, the death penalty across the board in the u. s. such is how you as politics always works, doesn't and at the mention are great to talk to you. thank you for your time. thank you. let's move on to corona. are see thousands of people gathering in the italian capital, protesting against a new mandate treat cove at 19 health paths. now live pictures now showing things getting quite unsettled. there it was just a large number of people gathering earlier, but now definitely police out with their right dear. what they are concerned about is this green pass where employees wouldn't be able to get into their place of work . in fact, the past would mean you would have to show that you've either been vaccinated or you've had a negative test or you have recovered from cove it. this will all come into force october 15th. so we're only 6 days away. the government says it's needed

jersey state emergency centers. subject matter experts and water removal and on watering information for the pennsylvania dot. fema regions 2, 3 and the states they supported, pennsylvania, new jersey and new york were satisfied with our proactive approach to this event. in the aftermath of superstorm sandy, congress asked us to prepare a performance report. that and other work following sandy has heightened our intent to build resilience into our coastal storm risk management and flood risk management projects. together with our federal and nonfederal partners, we are currently completing post norm evaluations to determine impact and develop efficiency reports for projects. initial assessment showed damages incurred to project elements which will require an investment in repairs. in addition to maintenance on these projects, in some cases, corps recommends a comp or hence of assessment of their status to include review of performance criteria and recommendation for updating based on current science, recent storm ev

six terry of state antony blinken talked about the passing of the former secretary of state. >> secretary powell came to the state department after a long and extraordinary career in the u.s. armed forces. he was gentle powell, former chairman of the joint chiefs when he walked into the oval office to beat sworn in as our nation's top diplomat. after that, he was mr. secretary. he gave the state department the very best of his leadership. his experience, his patriotism. he gave us his decency and the state department loved him for it. secretary powell trusted the career workforce here. he empowered them. he made sure the desk officer who knew an issue most deeply was the one who got to brief him or the president. he told his staff he didn't have to worry about getting fancy lunches. hamburgers and hotdogs were just fine. when he hopped on the elevator, he would pull others on with him. he didn't bother with formalities. he wanted to hear from everyone. he walked around the building, dropping into offices unannounced asking what people needed hud, making sure hud they knew he was counting

their state. but there is nothing that beats the bully pulpit of the president or the secretary of education. what i would like to see, and i think it is, to make it a priority in education, for it to be spoken of, to make sure the grants are flexible enough to utilize the traditional flow of money for this emphasis on computer science education. and so, it is messaging. it is setting the priorities. and it is making sure the funding stream that comes from the federal government is not an impediment but is an addition to what the governors are trying to do. i think that is the role of the federal government. but it is a very important one and can make a difference. >> david? >> thank you. in representing western governors university. thank you for focus on this issue and your leadership. computer science at the high school level introduces something to high schoolers they might not otherwise get. i am curious that it has become a workforce and skills issue as well. have you seen in arkansas introd

state. to the notion that you wouldn't consider that in the process but use some type of computer that would ignore that strikes me as brain dead. maya: professor wice, we had a question about your comment about racial majorities and minorities. this person says the projections show the white population will become less than 50% of the population in the next one to two decades. so if the majority is the minority and the minority is the majority, how do you guard districts in -- and deal with population changes? prof. wice: we are looking at macronumbers, that the white population is shrinking, writ large, across the whole united states. but districting is doing on a local basis. you have to look at the numbers on the ground where you are. you also have situations where, this is something i've seen in new york city years back, that you might have a minority white population in an area, majority black or hispanic population, but the white voters, who might be older, turn out in numbers a lot g

just remember talking about states that used to pay from the state conference for people of color to go to school somewhere else and then they reinforce that to pay a stipend to get that law degree that you want. >> i have to say we actually have the quotation of the martin luther king quotation about the greatest injustices being lack of access to healthcare so when people come in including staff, they will remind us that now why of our work in the connection and the broader fight. you have to leave at 10:30 a.m. i want to make sure that we are getting some questions from our audience. so first from politico says that she's asking if you are hearing of pressure to cut back on the top line number of the reconciliation bill comes down would you be open to a later start date or other changes to trim the cost? >> yes. i am open to anything. i believe we have to take into consideration the whole welfare retirement. a lot of things of the civil rights act in 1964 we get the civil rights act in the civil rights act did talk about discrimination in employment of the private sector not until

the state of nevada. if you look at that resort industry as you said brings in 45-ish million visitors a year, 1/10 in the state of nevada. are you working with dri on any water conservation projects? >> yeah, i'm fortunate enough to sit on the board of trustees for the desert research institute and we coordinate with them regularly on the conservation initiative and water quality issues in lake mead and any other number of scientific endeavors. >> are you involved at all with the st. george water project just north of here? >> you can watch the rest of this program on our website, c-span.org. we'll leave it here to go live to the u.s. senate. senate lawmakers today voting on whether to begin debate on voting rights legislation. live coverage of the u.s. senate is here on c-span2. the presiding officer: the senate will come to order. the chaplain, dr. barry black, will lead the senate in prayer. the chaplain, dr. barry black, the chaplain: let us pray. god of all nations, lord of all people, thank you for

this is true in your state. it's true in my state. a wise investment to protect thl flood insurance program. so we can have a conversation, by the way, about a criticism that if mitigation opportunities are offered to homeowners and they decline them, what to do about that. on the other hand, when folks are offered mitigation, they almost always accept the opportunity for that. finally, some argue that private insurers will replace the national flood insurance program, but let's be honest. that will not occur. i support the expansion of private insurance covering flood properties. consumers should have options. but nothing else -- if nothing else, this highlights the need for a long-term fix to the program. in the past, i have proposed reforms to ensure that nfib is affordable and accessible to homeowners, accountable to taxpayers, and sustainable. i have worked on flood insurance programs with senator menendez and gillibrand. both of them coming from states affected by flooding, just as mine is as well. this makes it bipartisan, two

busy by your member states. and of course at one point when you have the top court of the member states and the government openly challenging this, then then you have a problem. we have it picking up on, on what peter was saying that about this being perhaps of a ploy. how legitimate is poland constitutional court are we talking about independent judges here, or government appointed ones and, and what does this mean for regular polish judges? and we will consequences to they face if they now implement e, you law over polish law and vice versa. doesn't put them in something of an impossible position. well, it was one common towards my colleague from brussels said actually there is no conflict between the standard that is describing polish constitution and the standard which is described in you law in treaties and the charter, the same standard of independence of judiciary. so there is no conflict, this is only potential political conflict rising by, by our government. but coming back to your question, regarding t

it is happening in my state and virtually every other state. every 10 years, following the decennial census. at this moment, state legislatures and county commissions and town councils are redrawing the lines that will determine who the american people elect to represent them in congress and in their state capitals. that means, for the first time since the days before dr. martin luther king's march on washington, congressional, state , and local government districts will be drawn without the key protections of the voting rights act. because in 2013, the supreme court issued its decision in shelby county beholder, that essentially nullified section five of the voting rights act, which required localities with records of discrimination against voters of color to ensure any changes to their voting rules were vetted by the justice department before they could be enforced. this requirement is known simply as preclearance, and it applied to redistricting. but that preclearance requirement, a guarantee to adherence to the law, was eliminated by the su

law that may have been adopted in a state. it looks at data with the support of experts to determine who has access to the particular forms of i.d. that are deemed qualifying under a particular law. we follow the facts and apply the law. voter i.d. laws are not on their face invalid. it really depends on where that photo i.d. law has been instituted. it depends on the form of the i.d. and the kinds of i.d. that may be permissible upon that law , and whether or not there are disparities into has access to the particular category of i.d.s called for by a law. sen. grassley: the overwhelming majority of americans, as according to this poll, support i.d. requirements. do you think most americans support voter suppression, because you said it would suppress black votes? general clarke: the department believes that our elections should free from discrimination, and particular photo i.d. laws or purge programs or decisions to shut down voting sites have a discriminatory impact on minority voters. what we have found in a work at the d

it is happening in my state and virtually every other state. every ten years following the census, county commissions, and town councils are we drawing the line that will help determine the american people -- who the american people electors and represent themselves in congress. that means, since the day since before marley to's march on washington, congressional, state and local government districts will be drawn without the key protections of the voting rights act. in 2013, the supreme court issued its decision in shelby county versus holder, that essentially nullified section five of the voting rights act. section five required localities with records of discrimination against voters of color, like racist policies such as poll taxes, to ensure that any changes to the voting roles were vetted by the justice department before they could be enforced. this requirement is known simply as preclearance. as applied to redistricting. it was a guarantee of accountability to the law, that was eliminated by the supreme court in shelby. as today's witnes

since today's hearing is also about the state of the state department, we must address the state's role on the hazardous role of the withdrawal of afghanistan. despite efforts to put afghanistan in the rearview mirror, it remains a pressing national security concern for the senate and for the american people. it's been over a month since secretary blinken appeared before this committee and we have yet to receive the secretary's responses to our questions for the record that were propounded at that time. this is an unacceptable delay and we expect better responsiveness from the department, which they have always promised, but never executed on. on the issue of continued evacuations. in september, secretary blinken assured us there were just 100 americans remaining in afghanistan that wish to depart. 100. just last week, however, the team responsible for continued evacuations of americans told us that they were working on over 170 americans who wish to depart more than 360 americans who remain there. i ask to enter into the data aggregate data my staff collected about the botched evacuati

we are having a hearing on a state law. in issue over whether this committee has absolutely no jurisdiction. we have sent 20 letters to you, madam chair. asking for hearings and investigations. we have not had a hearing on a single one of his issues. let me fare out some more stats. in 2019, -- let me throw out more stats. this committee, the oversight committee held almost 80 hearings. with almost 80 witnesses. so far, this year with only a few weeks left, only half as many hearings and a third of this amount of witnesses. in 2017 when there was a republican in the white house and republicans running this house with this committee, this committee, the oversight committee held almost 70 hearings with 112 witnesses. the republicans took oversight seriously even when there was a republican president. with president biden in the white house oversight is off the agenda. we cannot be bothered with it. this is the u.s. house of reps. we are a part of congress, a separate branch of government. we are not in the executive branch. i

the idea that when state election administrators or state supreme court's under state constitutions, under state legislative command act in the electoral process, that is somehow unconstitutional. there is no basis for that. it has been made up. it was rejected in all of these courts. it was floated by the attorney general of texas who sued. it was rejected. then it was floated again on the house floor on january 6, as the violent insurrection mob attacked us. it was rejected again. yet, the big lie lives now in the sodi audits around the country. it was amazing to hear the gentleman from arizona essentially -- i think he is trying to ally the fact that this audit rejected the claim that donald trump won in arizona. i never really understood members from arizona challenging the result by which they themselves were elected in the exact same election where they were elected, yet, still -- mr. biggs can correct me if i am wrong -- i hear him not even accepting the results of this audit who say that joe biden got more votes that were lawfully reported by the states. >> will determine yie

new jersey is one of seven states plus washington, d.c. that doesn't put a time restriction on how far along in the presidency someone can still have an abortion. would you seek to change that? sixty seconds. >> i would. i know the governor somewhat supports the science. we know that the baby is viable after 20 weeks and the baby feels pain during an abortion. that is the science but the reason why this bill hasn't been sent by a legislature that's overwhelmingly controlled by democrats is because they know it's a bad bill. they keep talking about passing it lame-duck. every time they look to do something lame-duck it's usually because it is a bad bill. i don't know if anyone across the state of new jersey either side of the aisle talked to more people than i have the past 22 months no one supports an abortion in months seven, eight and nine let alone having it performed by somebody other than me. nobody supports their daughter seeking an abortion and the parents not knowing if the daughter is under age. that is extremism. that isn't new j
