mr. king. but the traffic load on route 110 prohibits us from permitting private entrances. you will be able to get on the new highway, though, by driving just a short way down route 134, i suppose i could do that. and that's part of what's griping. i don't see why i should have to drive 2 to 3 miles out of my way down a road. well, a chuckles to get out to a new road that runs more than 200 yards from my house. well, i don't blame you for complaining about 134, but i can tell it's on our federal aid secondary road list, and very shortly it'll be improved. well, that's some good news, but i still say it's wrong to take a man's farm land for a road he can't. mr. king, the hardest part of being a highway engineer is explaining to people why we have to take their land for a new highway. believe me, we're the first to admit that we must inconvenience good people. but it's our job when we plan new highways to try to do the most good for the most people at least, cost and inconvenience. as i said be

you start and then mr. king. >> pardon me. sorry. i should learn, i should've gotten there at this point. i think it's really important to note that so many of these studies that have been done in these pilots that have shown credible things and what's done at kick starter's is that it is self-selection. these companies are choosing to be a part of this so they are able to cut out extraneous meetings. they are able to shorten coffee breaks. they are able to go to remote meetings for something so you don't have to commute. whatever it is. >> i've never heard of anything you just mentioned in a small business. that just is not there. we try to do it so we don't run out of time, i do have a final question for mr. leland, mr. king, would you weigh in on that too. >> good to see you again. this doesn't work for small business or any type of business if you can't measure productivity correctly and have that productivity gap satisfied. the proposal the chairman is putting in legislation today would require over time overrate, overtime over

mr. kingnk you very much, mr. chairman, dr. cassidy, memos of the committee. it is indeed a distinct honor to come back before this committee again. i had great experiences here working with fritz mondale, ted kennedy, and angus king and i used to go out for an adult beverage with this committee. so thank you again for having me back. i am appearing here on behalf of the hr policy association. we represent approximately 10% of the private sector workers in this country who are corporate members. i like to start the discussion about mandating 32 hours, over eight hours, over 12 hours, these are concepts that have consequences. this proposal only works if you reduce eight hours of work week and have the workers have the same level of productivity that they had at 40 hours. it just doesn't work in many industries. it doesn't work economically, it doesn't work operationally. what we have is what i call a productivity gap where we have work that is not yet getting done for the 32 hour workweek situ

they found 65 firearms, which police alleged that mr. king mclean was trying to smuggle into canada now to piece this all kate police say that what happened is that, that those gold bars were then melted down. they've only recovered in fact, about 91, actually about $70,000 worth of the gold. it was all melted down. and in fact, sold for cash. what happened with that cash? it was then funneled into an elaborate gun smuggling operation. and kate, this really points to what's going on on both borders, right? you have both the northern border and the southern border. were gun running is really becoming a lucrative business for organized crime. and this is the kind of plot that unraveled police say at toronto's airport, they invested investigation, i should say, is still underway i mean, it'll elaborate and i you tell it so

quote, with 2024 a major election year and with the nation seriously divided, mr. kingis daunting because the mechanisms that are in place to divide, he said. that could be social media to some degree. that could be some elements of mainstream media and obviously a lot of individuals who may be influencers. certainly the megaphone that the former president has is probably doing the most damage. people seem to be in denial or blind to it seeing only what they think are the good things. we have to be very thoughtful and very direct and intentional is what i would say. where do you think the denial and the being blind to it comes from? >> well, first of all, it's always great to be with you. >> thank you. >> look, joseph lowry who ran scls after dr. king said we live in the 51st state. the state of denial. gore said we live in united states of amnesia, so thank god brother frank being honest acknowledged the complicity of the fbi in refusing to warn dr. king of threats of his life and enacted the agency against the progress by the civil rights movement and to acknowledge i
