the justice department and the fbi. >> the new york post published

its first story with information contained in hunter biden's laptop story. most provided proof of the laptops legitimacy releasing a computer repair signed receipt and the federal subpoena used by the fbi to retrieve it in 2019. the article reveals who was paying hunter biden had spent time in washington dc. they ensure the american people he with us about this business deal. however the details exposed in the post article indicate joe biden lied to the american people. immediately following the stories publication american -- america witnessed mainstream news and the intelligence communities to delegitimize the existence of hunter biden's

laptop and its contents. twitter medially remove the story and banned the new york post they give -- and blocked its transmission via direct messaging. this marked the first time twitter directly limited the spread of information from the mainstream news organization. the new york post for two weeks. twitter was -- would finally admit its mistake but the damage was done. on october 19, 51 former intelligence officials posted that the laptop was russian disinformation. this was used as a talking point. but we all know now this was not russian disinformation.

it wasn't disinformation. host: the chair of the house oversight committee republican congressman james comber. the washington times front page story on this hearing was recovered here on c-span and you can find on our website c-span.org, they deny fbi pressure in suppressing the hunter laptop biden story a must -- go to our website c-span.org, we have yellow scars -- yellow stars that indicate key moment. a few don't have time to sit down and watch hours of testimony that's a good way to get through it and get up to date on what the former twitter executives told congress about their handling of the hunter biden laptop story.

and they write this. house gop under the radar hunter biden problems. the doj got there first. this is what politico writes this morning. house republicans itching to investigate hunter biden but they have a problem, the fed got there first. republicans looking for conflicts of interest by the biden family writ large while the justice department hones in on potential crimes by hunter biden. that's an issue for the house committee because any doj indictment of hunter biden would effectively close off the investigative path. 12:00 p.m. eastern time on c-span3 this morning or you can watch on demand at c-span.org or with our new video mobile app c-span now. is the politicization of the

federal government. the new select committee under house judiciary led by jim jordan. they will be talking with fbi officials about the weaponization as they say of the federal government against conservatives. let's get your thoughts on all of this. angela in maryland, a democratic caller. go ahead. >> good morning. i watch the hearing yesterday. i loved it. i thought the democrats today major takedown of these republicans. i thought the democrats were running the show. specifically i loved jamie raskin, dan goldman. if you haven't watched it, go watch it. the fbi never told them to not publish the new york post story. the fbi never mentioned hunter

biden's name. the fbi never mentioned hunter biden's laptop. what they were supposed to do after they found the report concluded russia was using social media for disinformation and that they concluded they showed in the future watch out for that and that's what the fbi did. they generally put out watch out for russian disinformation. that was all the policy of a private company called twitter. go back and watch raskin, goldman. they summed it up completely. just one quick thing on marjorie taylor greene. she must have forgotten she was part of the republican select committee who put out a budget in 2023 called the blueprint to save america. it cut medicare and social

security. host: marjorie taylor greene part of the oversight committee yesterday on capitol hill. congresswoman -- you didn't mention alexandria ocasio-cortez. let showing moment from her and the twitter executive. >> that is why we are here right now. 80's -- it is an abuse of public resources. we could be talking about health care, talking about bringing down the cost of prescript drugs, voting rights but instead were talking about hunter biden's half-baked laptop story. let's talk about something real. i would like to show you a tweet posted a former president trump about my colleague and i on july 14. it says in part "why don't they

go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. then come back and show us how it's done." a day or two after that, donald trump publicly incited violence at a rally targeting four congresswoman including myself saying go back to her you came from. as i understand it you were the most senior members of twitter's content moderate -- a senior member of content moderation. did you review this tweet? >> yes it was my team's responsibility. >> what did you conclude? >> for the first time we find donald trump in violation of twitter's policies. >> for the first time. at the time twitter's policy

included a specific example when it came to band abuse against immigrants specifically including the phrase go back to the country or go back to where you came from. >> that was specifically included in the content moderation guidelines. >> you brought this up. and she overrode your assessment. >> yes she did. >> something interest in happened after she overrode your assessment. twitter seems to change their policy. >> the phrase go back from where you came from was removed as an example. >> so twitter change their own policy after the president violated it in order to essentially accommodate his tweet? >> yes. >> thank you so much -- thank you. so much for bias against right-wing on twitter. >> house oversight hearing on capitol hill. we are talking about that investigation as well as others

republicans are leading. now controlled the house chamber with a slim majority. to think these are too much, too little or just enough. glenn and lancaster california says too little. welcome to the conversation. go ahead. are you there? >> i'm here. first of all i'd like to see the speaker of the house throw aoc off of any committee because she is a left-wing activist. she has no sense. she needs to get out of government altogether. host: are there right-wing activists? guest: she's a left-wing activist. she doesn't make sense when she talks. on this committee on twitter everyone on that board that was being investigated lied through

their teeth. they need to haul them into federal court to have subpoenas and swear testimony. as a group one at a time because the whole committee they have been lying to the investigation. now the doj has already been on top of this before the committee started. they told him what to say. then you best get along with twitter and the fbi. toft -- the top brass of the fbi. is the criminals here. host: alan in queens, you say too much investigations by republicans. tell us why. caller: i'll try to be brief.

my general consideration when listening to a candidate or to a party is this. don't tell me how horrific your opponent is. tell me how good you are, what's your plan. the republican party is simply attack with no solution and i think that biden really put them in their place and any citizen who's listening could understand that the republicans, they are nowhere. and the other thing i wanted to say is these -- republicans everything it seems that there accusing someone else of they are guilty of themselves. especially the thing with donald trump when he tried to get -- i don't know.

i tell you, the republicans i think trump has had such a pernicious effect on the country and the party it's a bad thing. thank you for taking my call. host: we will go to georgia -- let me put you on hold. we will go to linda in georgia. you say too little. caller: yes i do. all politicians right now are getting too little investigations on. they don't seem to be able to show the public through the news media the evidence that they say they have and if they do that i know they're worried about security. china, iran or russia if it's true they already have that

information and if it's not true there's nothing there for them to get. that the american public see. but they need to put shock collars on all politicians. so when they tell a lie, their eyeballs light up. host: michelle in baltimore, just enough you say. you think the republicans are doing the right amount of investigating of the president. caller: that's right and good morning and thank you for c-span. i work for the federal government. i'm one of those auditors they talk about that they're going after. i'm a democrat but believe it or not i'm a professional and i work hard for my degree and my certifications. so i'm get a do my job. it's not right or left, it's doing my job. so i appreciate the investigations they are doing. because we have to tiptoe around the work we do to make sure we

are not offending the right side of the thinking. i like what they are doing because it exposes that we are doing the work we are supposed to do. we are not going after the right, we are just doing our job. host: up on capitol hill yesterday for this twitter hearing lawmakers also heard from about the southwest mixup recently in flights and the southwest message to the hill was we messed up. if you're interested in that hearing we covered that on capitol hill. part of the wall street journal this morning. yesterday on capitol hill lawmakers heard about covid-19 funding that went out during the pandemic. the headline in the washington post. 191 billion in jobless aid may have been misspent.

we talked with the comptroller of the government accountability office here on the washington journal earlier this week about fraud in the spending bills. if you missed it you can find that on our website. in other news, the story on the front page of the washington post dealing with border security. one of the places were republicans plan to investigate. the fentanyl they say is coming over the southern border is in area -- is an area they want to look at it also the handling of the southern border by homeland security secretary. the washington post is reporting the biden administration is negotiating an agreement with mexico that would allow u.s. authorities to carry out large-scale deportations of non-mexicans back across the border for the first time. the pandemic related emergency border restriction set to expire this spring.

biden officials are moving to implement a new enforcement model ahead of the presidential election. the plan was to permit hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter lawfully but threatening severe consequences for those who do not follow the rules. to send non-mexican deportees across the border could be a breakthrough for biden officials with record numbers of illegal crossings fueled by their inability to return migrants to their homes. stephanie in brooklyn we are talking about republicans controlling the house chamber and investigating the president and his family. what do you think? caller: it's so funny, good morning. 80's too much. it's not making sense. it's making the republicans look like fools. they don't really have any answer of any questions, they

have these people on the panel. they are telling the truth. they had nothing to do with hunter biden's laptop. it's something to just create a story. marjorie taylor greene, their questions about -- their hate had grievances. it wasn't about the hunter biden story. they are just a bunch of angry folk. host: let's listen to a little bit from one of the former twitter executives. the former head of trust and safety testified yesterday it was a mistake for the platform to block a story about hunter biden in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election. >> in 2020, at this for a lot of similarities to the 2016 rush and hack and leak operation

targeting the dnc. we had to decide what to do. in that moment with limited information, twitter made a mistake. the distribution of hacked material policy the company decided to prevent links to the new york post story about the laptop from being shared across the service. in my judgment of the time twitter should not have taken action to block the new york post reporting. and just 24 hours after doing so the company acknowledge the error. but the decisions here aren't straightforward and hindsight is 20/20. it is not obvious what the right response is to the suspected but not confirmed cyberattack by another government on a presidential election. i believe twitter errored in this case because we want to avoid repeating the mistakes of 20. so the basic job of trust and safety to try and strike this balance between the harms of restricting speech and the

dangers of restricting too little. we did not always get it right. it's rare when things add up when you're talking about content moderation at the scale of hundreds of millions of unique moves per day. >> many of them on the panel said the same thing. it was a mistake that they did not do so under pressure from the fbi. you missed yesterday's hearing you can find it on our website. you can also go to our video mobile app c-span now. more from the hearing. marjorie taylor greene in georgia and here is how she used her minutes on the panel to question the former twitter executives. >> january 2, 2002 permanently banned my twitter account. this was the account that i put my campaign ads on, raised money on and be able to talk to my

voters in my district. but you banned it. my account was not reinstated until november 21, 2022. that was after my election on november 8. at your company or your former company, twitter employees over 98% of them donate to democrats so well you coordinated with dhs, the fbi, our government and outside groups to permanently ban and shadow ban americans and candidates like me and the former president of the united states, president donald j. trump, you were censoring and wrongfully violating our first amendment free-speech rights. guess what, none of you are elected and none of you represent 750,000 people like i do. let's explain. 52 united states law, no person

shall intimidate, threaten or hurt or attempt to stop any other person for the purpose of interfering with their right to vote or to vote as they may choose. this shadow ban or permanent ban by democrat opponent, you did that to me. and that was wrong and against the law. not only that was it me that you violated my first amendment right, you violated countless conservative americans. these were doctors that were trying to tell the truth about covid. doctors that were having success treating people with ivermectin that you all would not allow to be talked about on your platform. these were parents complaining about the school board teaching gender lies in their school, biological males entering their daughters bathroom and sports.

these are also people questioning the 2020 election and that's americans first amendment rights. these were people talking about voting machines. democrats did that in 2019. before the 2020 election. on twitter the question election such as 2016 saying hillary one what in 2020 no one can question election sing trump one. you abuse the power of a large corporation to censor americans and you want to know something? guess what i'm so glad you've lost your jobs. they god elon musk bought twitter. host: >> from yesterday's house oversight committee looking at the handling of the hunter biden laptop story we are talking about the republican investigation into the president , his family and administration. do you think it's too much, too little or just enough.

godfrey in canada, you say too little. caller: i have a fundamental problem with the framing of the question. democrats all they did was to investigate trump. was it too little or not enough -- or too much. this is the dish -- they are doing their constitutional duty. on the back of the present -- democrats did to trump.

if this was too little or too much. they are just doing their job. twitter bans trump and prevented -- that day -- they banned marjorie taylor greene. and it's right that they be held responsible. it's right that the republicans do their job and hold them responsible as they did during the last election. host: today at 12:00 p.m. eastern, you can watch the new select committee under the judiciary panel, of the weaponization of the federal government committee undergoing their hearing which is being led by jim jordan, republican of

ohio. they will talk with the fbi officials, looking at the justice department and other federal agencies being politicized. they will hear from former fbi agents radar coverage at 12:00 p.m. eastern time. on c-span3 you can also watch with our free mobile app c-span now or online at c-span.org. what are your thoughts on this? caller: i believe it is way too much. high inflation, high gas prices they should investigate that and how corporate america is gouging. if people look at the immigration bill president biden submitted on january 21st, it was assumed he was trying to do something about immigration but they refused to approve that bill. they could also be investigating

what happened with our military. we don't know that the militaries make -- wasting money. there's so many things i could speak on. it's just ridiculous. ask yourself how does biden's sons laptop affect you personally? they didn't investigate trump's daughter. she had all of this contract with china. if anyone has a relationship with china it's the trumps. his son-in-law with a relationship with saudi arabia. then you have jim jordan, the head of a committee that refused to testify. how many times did trump block them from testifying from telling the truth. many times did trump take the fifth. if there can it do any investigations there are three branches of our government.

they should be working together for the benefit of the people of the united states, not against each other. this is ridiculous. the republicans and the democrats it's like watching children in a playground calling each other names. you would never tolerate that. so why are we tolerating this from politicians that are making over $100,000 a year. >> linda, lorraine a texas. caller: i think it's going on way too much. this is like welcome to the lord of the flies in the house of representatives with the way they are attacking our government which is made up of people, it's the largest employer in the united states. it's made up of everyday people just like you and me. and it has the structure that

has withstood the years and test of time. instead of strengthening it and making it better for people the majority of people which includes democrats it doesn't just include a small group of republicans, it's everybody that they should be supporting and building a structure for an making batter and attacking like rabid animals. and making things worse. host: let's hear from joe in dayton, ohio. he disagrees with you. joe. >> good morning from rainy ohio. your first caller from maryland didn't watch the committee hearings. the last caller and the gentleman from texas. the gentleman from toronto canada was excellent, superb. i watched all day yesterday, the

republicans did a great job. marjorie taylor greene and the lady did excellent. unfortunately didn't play the whole thing on mr. joel roth. he is disgusting. marjorie taylor greene was taken down but he allowed child pornography on twitter. that came out in the committee hearing. that's what's going on and then also with trump being investigated, why didn't we have -- why didn't we get some truths from the biden family and joe biden and also joe biden spoke a lot of mistruths on the address to the nation even the new york post on the front page said joe lie biden. saying republicans are going to get rid of social security and

medicare and that was a lie. so you have a good day. republicans are doing great. host: to your point about those moments during the hearings we did talk about the ones you brought up, our viewers can find them on c-span.org in our video player and you can move along and go to the people that joe mentioned. you can go to the people the previous caller mentioned. you don't have to watch the entire hearing. brian in ohio. what are your thoughts this morning. >> it's a tough situation right now to try and wade through all of the lies. but the fact of the matter is joe biden, the guy's head two brain aneurysms. it's been a real hard time. the republicans are worried about the laptop, but the fact of the matter is everybody has

seen in some sort of social media videos of hunter biden smoking crack. that's been out in the public and everybody has seen it. there was just -- if there was just one video of don jr. doing that there would be a crisis. things are so tough to wade through. i don't understand how people can turn a blind eye to the fact -- the facts that play right in front of you. the video of countless situations, the lack of discretion, it's a tough situation. >> lakewood, new jersey. your turn. >> good morning. first of all i think they are not doing enough. and it isn't a question of just biden's sons laptop.

it's where did it go? who was listening to all the stuff that he was sending out. we don't know because he was with the chinese. he was getting money from every place. we don't know what he sold his father's name to against our country. i want to talk about the hypocrisy of the democrats. when they were investigating donald trump i didn't hear boo. now that it's biden. don't change the channel please. don't cut me off. host: you make your point. caller: my point is the democrats are hypocrites, all of you and c-span i'm so disgusted with you because for three weeks

in a row you had one week you had excuse me, you had ones there that were against trump. it's always against trump. host: coming up next we will talk with her publican congressman doug lum all thought of california -- with republican doug lamalfa of california. later democrats from new york. a member of the workforce committee talks about efforts to preserve black history in the classroom and other congressional news of the day. we will be right back. >> c-span's american president website is your one-stop guide to the nation's commander-in-chief. from george washington to joe biden. short biographies, video resources and rich images that tell the story of their lives and presidency.

>> joining us from capitol hill this morning is a republican of california. member of the agriculture committee presented the sixth district -- you are in your sixth term representing the first district manages a family farming business. congressman i just -- before we talk to you i want to show the viewers the moments you had with president biden leaving the house floor after his state of the union address. you got to talk to him about the california water crisis. i want to show that moment and we will come back and talk to you. >> good to see you. wanted to catch up with you again. half a million acres in agriculture last year. host: let's begin with those numbers you gave.

half a million acres and you don't know where the food is going to come from. explain. guest: it was an opportunity to get that in the presidency year. i just wanted to have ongoing conversations about what the federal government is doing to get water flowing to agriculture in her home state. as you know, california is a major portion of her agriculture situation. it's a key eleme90% are from ca. we are talking all lives, artichokes, so many crops and tomatoes. if you don't have the tomatoes grown in california not to have tomato paste for pizza and pasta in new york. so it's very important we continue to farm in california otherwise those crops will have to be dumped out or imported

from another country. it's just imperative we continue to do things that -- that add to the water supply. that would be 2.1 more acre-feet to grow crops. this water flowing out, it hasn't worked for years. they can hardly find that to increase the water dramatically over the years. this year we've had an amazing amount of water and snowpack in the sierras and all of our states. in california we declared drought emergency in some areas. so over 6 million acre-feet in a short amount of time we build more water storage and run the pumps that we have for the san

luis reservoir. we have drlyore water. we've done this in the past. we built a federal water project. and a statewide project in the 30's and 60's respectively. we can have the federal agencies just continue to send water out down the river. we've seen the prices go up so much. this is the united states. we should not be short on food. host: what role if any do you think climate change would play? guest: all people want to talk about his racial issues are climate change. and we hardly got anything done due to that or covid restrictions put on. we have to be getting back on doing things. what should we be doing, we should be building more water storage facilities so we can hold rainwater so it doesn't

escape to the ocean. i want to remind people the whole thing seems to boil down to co2 and western countries are supposed to stop producing co2. china and others on the pacific rim can do what they want. co2, carbon dioxide is only .04% of the atmosphere. they think it's 34% to 50%. co2 and climate change they will basically have us eat crickets rather than the lives were living. so climate change is one of those things if it's a problem and wired we cutting more timber and thinning out forests so we don't have those million acre fires that happened in my district in my district and 2021. it settled down in places like that. so if you want to play the

climate change game we should have a sustainable amount per acre. we should build more water storage facilities to capture more rainfall and the snowpack as this it's up here and melts during june and july. host: talk about the situation in the western states and the colorado river, explain the history and what is the latest on resolving the sharing of water resources? >> it's a very difficult issue. a lot of great vision, the great system we have there on the colorado that has a lot of water. it's a tougher situation for several states plus mexico all have shares of that water supply. it hasn't rained a whole lot in the last few years. so we have to track what dishware is the water going to

and make sure the states involved go back and divide the water proportionately of what's available. so you have to also make sure the water we do have isn't being wasted or used solely for devious environmental purposes. host: let's hear from gary in jacksonville, florida. we are talking about the water crisis in the western states with congressman and farmer doug lamalfa. caller: good morning. if you want to play the issues of the borders on president biden we relay all the mass shooting deaths. secondly the ppp loans, let's address that. you're worried about censorship. we live here in florida. someone banning jd salinger a

classic like that wanting to control studies done in college, ron desantis, let's have a real discussion about censorship. host: a phone call left over from our previous conversations about republican investigations in the house. do you have a reaction to that? caller: i don't think -- guest: i don't think we need to censor books of the college level it should be wide open. it seems like the censorship is happening on the internet with conservative talk expressing their opinions. we saw that with twitter interviews yesterday in congress. so it goes both ways on that. but the garbage that young kids are being subjected to in school, that we are trying to expect. -- protect. they should be dealing so much sexuality as they are now. so drag queen story hour i can't

imagine how anyone would think that's a good idea with the sexualization of young kids in schools. until they reach at least in age , why should that happen to minors at all? but i won't go into that today. >> michael in illinois, independent. >> good morning. i assumed he's a california farmer or wherever this -- well listen i'm from a blue state. we are always demonized. you are as well is a matter of fact. i want to know why you people are not paying their fair share for all these water projects that i'm paying for. because almost every state

that's part of that colorado watershed is a parasite. i have to send more federal dollars to those states then they have ever paid in. and you sit there and you are in congress. why, i don't want to attack him. host: congressman do you want to respond. caller: i've heard that a lot over the years. the water registers on my farm go way past the way back. and so the state project where i matt, now it's there to help the rest of the state. so this infrastructure actually helps a lot of other parts of the state in that sense as well. farmers pay for this water. that's being paid back over the years as well. the farmers of their having

their water taken away with dry fields and very little the last several years. taking away their rights of what was created for them. the bureau of reclamation for how much they owe after 30 plus years or longer on that project. so we are trying to rectify that. by and large agriculture will pay for what it does or what uses. we also have hydroelectric power which everybody benefits from low cost 24 hour seven day a week power. you don't have to wait for the solar panel or wind to turn. it's green reliable co2 power. they want to tear the dams out on the river and get rid of our nuclear power plant. so these are both sources of

power that we need to keep in the environmental groups on one hand they want to get rid of that you've also been named char of the house agriculture subcommittee on forestry, you mentioned the forest earlier. what will be on your agenda. what sort of hearings are you looking at conducting. >> the issue with our western forest is different from the east coast or southern states that have a lot more rainfall. look we signed in tennessee a few years ago. in the west you see the story all the time. year after year, summer after summer, we had one called the dixie fire 2021 the caused -- hit one million acres in one fire. it's mostly federal lands that

are not being managed in a way. they will grow and grow unless something limits them once in a while. nature in its own way every once in a while comes through. the history goes back. there'd be massive fires millions of acres in montana and places like that of some of the first spanish settlers when they came to california. so when we managed supporters with the right amount of trees per acre that actually is something that looks nice they can hunt and fly and it isn't a tinderbox. because the forest service has been displaced with people all around foresters. trying to shut that down. suing over every timber project

that tries to get done including after a fire when he needs an area that's burned. want to stop that from happening. saying he didn't study enough. meanwhile you have a limited window of time with trees that have been scorched. and not have any value. so the value of the trees making products we still need and want. but we can recover some of that cost of restoring the forest. because the environmental groups say there might be a woodpecker out of there. steve got 400,000 acres trying to do a 7000 acre restoration project. and they shut that down. so the goal is to have more hearings and have people understand the left, the environmental groups are deterring good forest management. saying juergen a clear-cut.

that's not the case. we like forests and it's much more sustainable if were going to have them around that we manage that. it grows and grows and goes through the big fire and wipes that all out. so we can live next to these. i have two towns that are completely devastated by fire damage in 2021. of course many of you heard the town of paradise in 2018 was devastated. 90% of the buildings down. it's recovering and we are seeing things out there. 2021 another town was wiped out. these are both in plumas county, california. the fire was able to come down and finally shift as they pushed right through those towns.

lumbar towns provided what people needed. of course california has a housing shortage. it usually means democrat program to subsidize for low cost inputs and low cost land. host: let's hear from jerry in washington, republican. >> good morning. you are a breath of fresh air for me. i've written to my senator back when i was in wisconsin about this whole water issue. it's so much bigger than driving cars. the environment is changing. why don't we worry about how we will survive the next generation.

i wanted to tell everyone out there on youtube there's a great documentary called pump dry, the global crisis of vanishing groundwater. i'd like very much to the congress to set a special committee to say how can we pump water from the mississippi river and so on and so forth into the groundwater. thank you for your time. >> you make a great point. in california where we've had so much surface water that people with vision built years ago. so we have this growing population of people in the state and growing population of the country so we talked about the groundwater. we have a lot where the ground actually lowers. because farmers of other water

taken away from them that comes from the surface water. so far this year summer getting zero allocations, summer getting 30% allocations. how do you operate anything under 30% allocation on the inputs you have or whatever vision. you can only have 30% of the water for the land. the government still wants you to pay for that. you have a lot of water supply, it's drier on the east side. they want to have more -- so where does the value per fish meat the needs of humans, of people to have food supplies to generate a mass amount of electricity distributed over to the western states. clean hydroelectric power. so they -- there's a lot of talk

out of both sides of the mount -- mouth by environment groups that want to tear this down and take away the water supply. we can do other things to help fish. the last few years we've seen it's been one way. people doing this want to go to the end of the lines that'll be ok. the united states has always been a leader in providing for its own supply and helping others around the world. who's the first one there, the united states helping out. won't be able to do that because of those taking away the price of energy skyrocketing. the fertilizer me and my other farmers have to use that's can it come out of the place. if they can make that up, the consumers have to pay. consumers will have to pay this. but how long till they cut us off.

and how long will they keep doing that. we don't need to rely on enough imported stuff. pharmaceuticals from china. they decide to cut us off one day as well they want to electrify cars and stoves and everything else. where are these critical minerals going to come from. so we need to produce here food, energy, the minerals and things. everybody wants to go to battery-powered cars. unfortunately the automakers are afraid of this pushback. i think the first one that pushed back a little bit is the president of toyota. they jumped in with both feet saying electric cars. most people -- we see a constant

agenda of our freedom being taken away by those forcing agendas that are not necessarily wanted by the people. the choice will be taken away. as i said a while ago, people would soon as us be the people living in caves with crickets. host: you mentioned this at the top. he brought a map that deals with wasted water. do you want to talk to that. you mentioned this at the top. the amount of wasted water and there's a map we have that goes along withha for a cler: for time this was monitored here.

caller: say whenever you get an opportunity, the rain gets there. we charge it will begin opportunity of plentiful rain like that. we have to say, whereas bureaucracy in doing this? why are they not running the delta pumps that are 100% well because of an issue. that was have a bureaucratic

reason on that. i will give them credit, they turn the pumps back up recently after some of this that some of us have pointed it out. it is interesting, it is getting more national attention in urban areas on the east coast as well as up-and-down the states that never see how much water is escaping to the ocean. we can still bill several other projects midsize dams compared to the big ones. we need to be taken advantage of when we get the rainfall that we are impounding that and using it for the things people knees, not just -- people needs, not just environmental. 50% of the water that falls in california ends up being environmental. the number is contracting because, at least a half a million acres have been left out. 250,000 in northern california

and i am probably lowballing that number if you take how many years len has been idle -- the land has been idle. when i set the land aside and's but -- and build a solar panel. this is a problem that is what the cover of the land because we cannot plan ahead enough to get the water supply need to help the society to recharge the aquifer and get a decent share of the water that people built for people's needs. with electric people water -- met the luxury of keeping water, for example, they want to keep the lake water -- longer so they can release colder water off the bottom of the dam for fish. they think raising the temperature river by one degree is going to have this massive positive affect fish bonding and i nature -- that nature and it turns out to be another may be

elation by government. and i think they're quite -- tired of it. climate change, electric cars, i think people are getting sick of the government. like the balloon went over, we cannot get straight answers on that. there's another briefing. we cannot get a straight answer on they would not get different think on that. people are getting tired of the government. and i hope the state of california, by january up in washington and the other blue states dictating to them and not meeting the basic needs of a basic water supply, food supply. the main factory and the things that come from the byproducts. it is a deal where i want to do with my areas and before she back on the track. how the forest service be much more aggressive and put in the forest back into a sustainable faction with the right amount of

trees ratio per acre but the trees are not competing for them to want to supply and it is not a tinderbox. in 2021, fire fighters in the district said have never seen an index -- there is an index for how dry the conditions are, they have never seen anything as dry. it calls it explosive buyer -- it caused explosive buyers in the area. it was almost impossible to stop. they did their efforts and heroic efforts. my hats off to the california fire fighters they were doing. the need to get on the program. we need a faster pace and a much larger scale of work being done in the forest. it is a 200 million acres they had a plan they brought out last year with their going to treat 20 million acres over 10 years.

20 million is 10% of it over 10 years 1% will be treated. it was a four years to get all across the forested areas if they treat all of them the type of spending and halt -- harvest studies to be done. weiss united states a number two of -- weiss united states number two of imported oil in the country? we should make it right here and do the things to keep jobs here is that of off shoring the lumber and things like that. it will help our communities to thrive in the poor populations we have, it gets all of the social problems that happen in poor areas. lots of those mountain communities in my district and like my should not be subjected to that. there are good people and doing a good thing so that environmental waste of the 1970 shut them down. host: congressman and chair of

what did you hear from him and what is the push by democrats and others on capitol hill? is there about bipartisan proposal? guest: not yet. i am hoping a bipartisan proposal comes pretty quickly, the next couple of weeks is going to be really important. just like the unfortunate, horrific uvalde shooting. after that happened you saw this senate mobilize quickly to get something done they send it over to us in the house and we got legislation passed. we do see that same sense of urgency right now. the state of the union address i thought was very good. i give the president an -- an a because it was uplifting, inspiring, celebratory of what we have gotten done over the last two years like the infrastructure bill, then they should -- inflation reduction act and he spoke to the kitchen table issues of the american

people around price gouging, make sure that what contribute their fair share, etc. but i also heard was something i had never heard before, he spoke with empathy and compassion towards the victims of police violence. it was not just about tyre nichols. tamir rice mom was also here for the state of the union. we heard a president say something like i do not understand this issue. i've not had to have the talk with my children in the same way black families have to have the talk with their children. april american into -- a brought america into hopefully having empathy with the victims. what we are saying as by people in the country, when police commit a crime they should be -- there should be accountability and stop telling us when we're

not harming you or do not have weapons or anything like that. it was a first time i heard that and it was good to hear. host: before the state of the union you have been critical of the president. he said the president missing opportunities to be a historic president when it comes to the social issues plaguing our country. what did you mean? guest: we need him to be a historic leader in the moment in the vein of roosevelt or lincoln. the years of donald trump were very traumatizing for the american people. america is a beautiful mosaic of beautiful portraits and people. donald trump attacked, demonized, marginalize many of people in our country creating trauma, stress. in addition to that, we have a global pandemic, the first in 100 years, which as another labor -- layer of trauma and

then we had an insurrection. first attack on the u.s. capitol since the war of 1812 and on top of that of the can seem to have children going to bed hungry. we need a president who is going to provide a vision for our country to come together across our differences to build a nation that works for everyone. we need him to be that in that speech was a great step in the right direction towards creating that america. host: let's also talk about education because it is in your wheelhouse. explain your career and we will talk about legislation you reintroduce. the african-american history act. guest: fires a commensal congress, i work in education for 20 years -- priors to comes of congress, i worked in education for 20 years. before moving onto come a high

school guidance counselor for three years and i realize education system has more to offer to our kids; i do not think the system was unlucky the potential cyber a proposal to start my own district public school in the northeast bronx. the proposal was supported. in 2009, i opened up my arm of the school that i ran for 10.5 years -- my own them at a school that i ran for a 10.5 years. the curriculum type into's soonest creativity -- tap into students creativity. there are so much more we can do if we implement the right curriculum. we did that for 10.5 years and did great work there. then i ran for congress because we are in education -- when you are in education you see all of

the social issues, family issues, they land at your doorstep every day. it is hard for kids to learn when they are hungry. when they are struggling with poverty. we are not teaching about emotional intelligence. it was hard for kids to learn. the year before i ran for office, 34 kids died to the k-12 school system in the bronx at 17 died via suicide -- and at died via suicide. i saw them live the mental health crisis before covid even came. it pushed me running to office. now that i am here, i hope to elevate these issues of mental health, public education, project-based learning and is one of the reasons why reintroduce the african-american history act. host: tell us about the act. guest: african-american history is american history just the

same way every other group in this country that make up the beauty of our country, their history matters and should be taught in our schools. what i experience as a young student what i saw in public education curriculum as an educator, was the lack of african-american history being taught. mainly during black history month, you will learn a little bit about the civil rights movement, you are mostly about dr. king, and you might learn a little bit more about the trans atlantic slave trade and how my ancestors came here but african-americans have a history that predates the transatlantic slave trade. my history did not start as a slave. my people had nations in africa. we had democracies in africa. we built the pyramids in africa. that is my ancestral history and it is important for me to know that so i can have the self worth i need to do well in school and in life. african-american history act and

best are six appropriate -- invest or seeks to appropriate to $1 million for the rest on them -- recently a museum to create curriculum that is accurate that school districts can use temperament in their schools. it is in response to governors like desantis and others who claim there is not as much value in african-american history versus other history. that is preposterous. one of the reasons we continue to have racial strife, misunderstanding, and issues with public safety is because of lack of knowledge of our history, selective history in our country. host: let's hear from shawn in baltimore, and caller. caller: people like this congressman are the reason why

i'm leaving the democratic party because of his ideas, booker, aoc. i was a democrat all of my life until him. host: what are the ideas you are rejecting? caller: the whole defund the police movement. i am fort lee succumb ability. police need to be held accountable -- i am for police accountability and they need to be held accountable. look at how everybody is leaving. they are leaving new york. they are leaving california because they hate police and they do not want the police. look at the retirement. because of that, police department struggling to get people and because they're struggling so bad, they're hiring the rejects of society because they are lower in standard.

host: i will have the congressman respond. guest: the police department in new york city has not been defunded. police department across the country are not been defunded. that is not happening. when we talk about public safety, we talk about it from the perspective of public health. police respond as best after a crime has been committed and then they do their jobs of arresting and making sure the person is held accountable. but we are saying or what i am saying, we need a proactive preventive approach. we know the majority of people who are incarcerated have suffered or struggled with mental health disorders, substance abuse disorders, or some sort of trauma learning ability or related to poverty, housing and we want to invest money in be more preventative people do not commit crimes in the first place. there are many people who are

just as entangled, who once they get out a return back to their community, no resources for them and this is why they continue to escalate and do other crimes. we are saying let's take a step back and let's have a fresh look at public safety through the lens of public health, that is what we are pushy and that is a conversation we want to have. host: in louisiana, you are next. caller: i would like to make a comment. i think we get misinterpretation of black and history -- black history. they think the whole united they think the whole united states have a misinterpretation of what black history.

i do not know nothing about the black panthers. i did not know about trooper nichols, black groups in the military. this, stuff -- this kind of stuff do you like to see more. like tulsa, we know it happened. thank you for your time. guest: it is a great point. it is a great point being made. when we are taught a history, we talk about the horrors of black history. talk about the ku klux klan and lynching and jim crow and how the city was burned down. all essential history, absolutely, but there are so many black americans that persevered to the toughest of times and the remarkable things. we talk about our impact during world war ii, that history there was a movie recently made about

that history that so many americans learned about. when you talk about hidden figures, i did not realize a black woman was essential to our space travel program. it is stuff like that that must be in our history book. that little black girl or black boy can grow up learning they have contributed to this great nation. that black boy will be less likely to commit a crime when they become a young man. host: barbara in oklahoma city, independent. good morning. caller: hi. i get nervous when i get on here. guest: take your time. caller: there's a couple things here i want to say. they keep saying what is our problem, our problem is greed. period. that is all. greed causes poor people.

poor people are not most in the country but they act like we are treated i would like to see one trillionaire. there is no trillion dollars anywhere. you cannot get a billion out of the bank must less a trillion. they want us to get online so we do not have to have money. that is a huge problem. we better snap about this. this cannot go on. i go crazy because i do not see many people seeing this. guest: preach, barbara, preach. thank you so much. you are right. we have economic and political system that allows what the individuals to not only contribute their fair share -- and they hide toys of dollars overseas -- trillions of dollars

overseas. they have money sitting on the side that is never taxed they use to more wealth and more wealth. we have moved away from our democracy and in many ways we have become an oligarchy and because of that, that is why the political bipartisanship continues to happen and how we are moving more towards a government that is a dictatorship. your plain language and your understanding of the issues is exactly what the american people need to hear. thank you so much for that. host: your reaction to the public is committing to america education policy. they want to advance parents, recover lost learning from school closures, expand school choice, and only woman he can compete in woman sports. that was a part of their commitment to america they rolled out in education policy. guest: i agree with the first

two. the third, school choice, i disagree with that because it is a way to take public dollars and invest them in private schools which is unacceptable. the woman sports think it a fear mongering soul. it is not something that is happening disproportionately around the country. it is something they are trying to up a nice -- weaponized the very mongering the american people but they also support investing in community college making college more accessible and affordable to people. i support free community college or inexpensive community college. they support workforce development which is key to making sure we have kids prepared for 21st century economy. learning loss thing has been a bit exaggerated. there was a learning stagnation because we had to schools but the brain is malleable, it adapts. students can get back into the

swing of learning and they catch up and they do ok. if republicans agree with that, we need to continue to invest in public schools and not take money away from u.s. department of education. host: it sounds like there is middle ground there. guest: yes, we had a hearing yesterday or will witness -- with focus on community college and workforce development. there is space for us to work together and invest. host: c-span covered the hearing , we were there so if you missed it, go to our website c-span.org focusing on k-12 and higher education. what was the take away? guest: there is middle ground on workforce development and community college, but also we have the governor from colorado, and he was talking about the importance of the cares act money and the american rescue plan money in terms of reopening

schools terms of reopening schools safely and dealing with the issues of learning stagnation. dated very innovative -- they did very innovative and remarkable things to get teachers back in the classroom, summer programs to help kids get back on track after they were shut down from the pandemic. host: congressman jamaal bowman is our guest. he serves on the education and workforce committee. claire is in maryland, independent. caller: good morning. i've only heard a part of this, i do not want -- you know all of what you have been talking about, but i live 50 miles from baltimore city. i'm a redneck. i'm a 86-year-old redneck. i want to tell you to start with. baltimore city, years ago we will go down and really enjoyed ourselves.

to date you cannot pay me to go down there -- today you could not pay me to go down there. it is a lot of you good black people but i'm going to tell you those cities are not safe to go in. baltimore city, i listen to the news every day. there is murder of the murder and it is black on black. host: i will have the congressman respond to you. guest: i do not know which spark to respond to -- which parts respond to, but i will say gun trafficking continues to be an issue in our can't -- country they are often traffic to vulnerable communities. baltimore city like the bronx, new york and other parts of the country have not been invested in in several decades. we defunded education. we defunded housing. god's all traffic -- guns are t

traffic and it has led to violins in certain areas -- violence in certain areas. to deal with the issue a public safety, we have to get to the core, the root of the problem. the root of the problem is poverty and lack of opportunity and one other things the federal government needs to do is invest more. the private sector needs to is invest more because the investments have not been there. people have looked the other way. as we look the other way, but we have is people harming themselves in the self-destruction of communities. it is our response ability as the federal government to do more on all of these issues -- our responsibility to do more on all of these issues. host: debbie, good morning. caller: i hope the first caller, the young black man, joins the

group. i saw a documentary last night on a school in pennsylvania. i do not know if you are familiar with that. they are trying to have that school deemed under historical society regulation where they cannot tear down. it is a old black community there. they want to keep the school because of the history learning under segregation. the positives results that came out of learning under

segregation and how it they integrated the schools -- when they integrated the schools they diminish the humanity of the black children in that school. they talk about how today because of how they retreated, they retreated when they integrated that school, how the mental capacity was affected. if you can respond to that. hayti, pennsylvania. guest: thank you for bringing that up. what we have seen, what research has shown, what the data shows, school integration happened, tens of 1000 black teachers lost their jobs. that was one of the unintended consequence of integration. will also help when schools are

integrated -- what also happens when schools are integrated there is this unconscious bias towards children of colors cape as if they cannot perform at the same level of white children. they are treated in that way as side of those classrooms. they behave and act in the weight in weight -- in the way in which they are treated. if you have teachers who have low expectations because you are black or brown or different, you would meet those low expectations. i believe that is what the caller was referring to versus when we are forced to have segregated all-black schools, the teachers in their revolutionaries. they knew we have to prepare you to be at 200%, let alone 100%. you go above and beyond and dig deeper than anyone else to even

survive in america. that was the mentality and expectations were through the roof. we need those same expectations in every school for every child across the country. host: thank you for joining us here on the washington journal and talking to our beers this morning. guest: thank you for having me. host: when we come back there in open form. any policy issue that is on your mind. there are the lines on your screen. start dialing in. ♪ >> book tv every sunday on c-span 2 features leading authors discussing t latest nonfiction books. 8:00 p.m. eastern, chris gibson aside -- and insider accounts with his book the fight of his life inside it bidens white us at 10:00 p.m. eastern on

host: after the stated -- after his stay at the union address he traveled to wisconsin to talk about union jobs and the state of the economy. president biden takes his economic message to union workers at a training center during a wisconsin visit. while he was there, he also discussed public and members of congress who jeered him and called him a liar during the state of the union address when he talked about some republicans wanting to cut medicare and social security. take a look at the president in wisconsin yesterday. [video clip] pres. biden: many of you saw we had a spirited debate last night with republicans. my republican friends, they seem shocked when i raised the plan to some of the members and their

caucus to cut social security and marjorie taylor greene and others stood up and said liar, liar, house on fire. well guess what? i will remind you rick scott of florida, has a plan. i have his brochure right here. here's what he says in his plan. he says, all federal legislation sucks every five years. social security, medicare, medicaid. by the way, you have a senator named ron johnson. ron johnson on social security and medicaid, " we should

transfer everything so we have to consider everything every year." come on, man. and then we found a senator named mike lee who was also yelling liar, liar last night. well, i did not know this but they play a video showing him, he said, many republicans want to cut medicare. so they play last night is something i do not know existed. video of him saying, i am here right now to tell you what think you probably have never heard from a politician, will be my objective to phase out social security, get rid of it. medicare, medicaid are the same

sort, i'm quoting this now. sounds pretty clear to me, how about you? a lot of republicans, they dream misses cut social security and medicare -- the cut so security and medicare. well, i say this. it is your dream, but my veto will make it a nightmare. host: today he travels to tampa, florida talking about his strategy on medicare and social security at 1:30 p.m. eastern time. look for our coverage on our website c-span.org. new york times this morning with their front story about president biden trip to wisconsin yesterday and make a pitch at white voters without degrees about to let the wages. mr. bite is economically focusing you and address may have avoided the four uphill for the white working class that

truck harness so effectively. but at this speech, his heart was in the pill to congress to finish the job in a simple challenged for every american on the path to a good career whether they go to college or not. whether or not biden can persuade a divided congress to act, the money from those i have just begun to flow in a surge of hiring is coming. many of the jobs in the industrial battlegrounds and request from trump in 2020 or will need in 2024. when endangered senators like joe manchin, kevin baldwin face reelection. democrats will have to match those jobs against republican the pill -- appeal aimed at white grievances.

david in new jersey. what is on your mind? caller: i would like to speak about -- i'm not on the same channel. host: you go ahead and listen and talk to the phone. we are hearing the you -- we are hearing you. caller: ok. i would like to say i think the liberal bias is showing through the white house. starless night on washington journal, your girl there, you included should probably declare if you are democrat or republican. it seems like you are all very liberal. i am living off of the beach in

new jersey with all of the wells are washing off, the ones here. the windmill company is from the netherlands and they have stopped all windmill production in the netherlands. now there are here in my government -- governor is giving hundred percent of the state company that was in it back out. the windmill company, a danish company, that stopped windmills in the netherlands has 100% of our electric. these wells -- whales, they've already killed wells when they put windmills up in ireland. they have a history. it is crazy we got them out here. what they are trying to do --

caller. caller: hello. i do not think one way or another politics you have. but this is something i think is very important, especially when it comes to police going overboard. just yesterday in the state of ohio, our governor was there to report on train derailment in this tiny town. one of the reporters from my news nation got arrested and i think it was because he was a person of color. there is nowhere else other where -- other than ohio that has a homeschool of 2500 case

that are being taught neo-nazi theories. ohio is white supremacist and i am tired. old woman was white. i did not want these people here. host: i go to joe next in maryland. politics or public policy? caller: i would just make a comment on what was played by joe biden from yesterday. there will be a perfect -- perfect example of the american people are being manipulated. when he said, social security and medicare, at the end of the policy from republican standpoint, it is just a lie. it is not in the plan. it would be like saying every

government policy will subset after five years. when we sunset social security and medicare? absolutely not. wake up. detach yourself for the machine that is manipulating you. host: this is nbc news, fetterman hospitalized after feeling lightheaded. initial hat -- test did not show evidence of a new stroke according to his staff. there's also this story in politico, balloon was part of wider chinese snooping uppers from the pentagon yesterday. the surveillance balloon program has been operating for several years, but the gospel person and we covered that briefing -- the pentagon spoke person and we covered that briefing yesterday.

it, it is because of those policies society -- inner cities where people are concentrated in the redline areas, pay more for less and get less, and as a result we are still living in the time, especially in the neighborhoods in baltimore where the policies and practices from the past continue to put us in concentrated poverty. while there's a lot of discussion about education and things like that, when you come back home to the same conditions that you left to go to school over every relearning, they are re-concentrating port and particularly black people out of these urban areas and into suburban areas, doing the same redlining practices.

we supposed to be in a free, capitalistic society, but that is not true with regards to how the government and the private practice of real estate get together and concentrated poverty area and then you see the flip. most a movie about a particular areas they flip it and they justify -- grentrify. says they brought african people here, it is about exploitation. and it is not stop yet. host: martin in new york, republican caller. caller: good morning c-span. i want to talk about the truth and lies. ok. the biggest lies is the left.

everything they say is a lie, just about. here is the big lie they are telling for the last couple of years, that donald trump incited the riots. there is a movie, clip, and nobody has shown it. not my station. -- not one station and it has the clip turning to his supporters saying, if you're going to demonstrate in front of the capital, do so as patriots, and most of all demonstrate peace -- peacefully. that exonerates donald trump from the lies. the other lies told -- first of all, c-span told a lie about a friend of mine. he called in and all he did was criticize al sharpton, but you

guys, and then he was called racist for making the criticism. we're supposed to treat everybody equal. host: if you want and viewers can do this to, go to c-span.org and see the speech in its entirety that former president made on january 6. washington post has the story, the biden administration is negotiating an agreement with mexico that could allow u.s. authorities to carry out large-scale deportations of non-mexicans back across the border for the first time. it says the pandemic related emergency water restrictions scheduled to expire this break stalled -- spring stalled in congress. president and officials looking to implement a new enforcement model i had at the presidential election.

you have an hour or d next to your name, one side is angry at the other. i hear a lot of hate. i see at the breakfast table when i visit my parents on sunday after church and we are sitting around my mom is stanched by the supporter and my dad is a stage from supporter -- my mom is a staunch biden supporter and my dad is a staunch trump supporter and i have to stop them and say hey, let's have a conversation about things that matter. host: they are still married? caller: yes, there are still married. the frustration i see around me that people hate each other because of party affiliation. i'm a republican but that is not automatically make me a racist. using that word, overusing that word to describe one group or another is not productive.

the working class. you do not see wealthy people getting laid off. now there's a story out that walt disney corporation is planning to lay off 7000 people's so the corporation can afford to pay dividends to their shareholders. who is getting hurt here? the middle class. not the wealthy at all. something is not right here. host: steve is referring to the wall street journal's plan to cut across. the house is about to gobble in for morning our business and the legislative session on this thursday morning. as we told you happening on capitol hill, hearings you may be interested.
