this event flooded 80% of the city after 40 years of "protection" by the army corps of engineers. - thecontrol act of 1965 gave the united states army corps of engineers permission to build various flood control projects, including the lake pontchartrain and vicinity, and the louisiana hurricane protection project. these projects were meant to protect the people in the event of a disaster like katrina. but the plans fell through... quite literally. give me the context. describe to me what failed. the flood walls collapse was a major vector of the city being flooded. the corps of engineers was saying at the time: "oh, this was so powerful a hurricane, these walls were overtopped." i.e., water was coming over the top, pushing them over from the top. - yeah. the high-water mark was halfway up the wall. they were undermined from below. this was poor construction and the corps of engineers actually sued a contractor who, in the 1990s, said: "we're not digging the support for these walls deep enough. we're just hitting muck. they're not anchored in anything." right. and the corps went to cour

>> the army corps of engineers is surveying ongoing. hat does not mean the people who are writing the policy or listening to the army corps of engineers. you would think they would listen, yes. i am with you. i think they are right. but, they are not. in other cases, obviously, the homestead law and a lot of these things will be debated. there is going to be, and they are going to bring in some of this. we are talking about very singular reminded individuals. they know the right answer. i am not trying to cast aspersions. they believe they have the right answer. they believe they understand. unless you have traveled significantly in the united states, and even today, it is hard to know just how different regions of this country are. they just did not understand. and some of that is also when the army corps of engineers were too far in the mountains, and we're not doing stuff on the planes. there is any number of reasons as to why they would not be listening to those reports. jericho? >> could it also stem from a euro-centric view? there

>> so, the army corps of engineers is serving ongoing lee. that doesn't mean that people writing the policy are listening to the army corps of engineers. you would think they would listen, yes. i am with you, i think you are right. you think they would listen. but they are not. in some cases. it's other cases, obviously, the homestead law -- are going to be debated. and so, there is going to be, they are going to bring in some of this. but we are talking about very singular reminded individuals. they know the right answer. i am not trying to cast aspersions really, they believe that they have the right answer, right? that they understand and unless you have traveled significantly in the united states, and even today, it's hard to know how, just how different regions of this country are. so yeah, they just did not understand. i think ultimately they did not understand. some of that also the army corps of engineers in some cases where too far, so they are not really doing stuff on the planes or, so there's any number of reasons for why they migh

it is the largest civil works project in the history of the army corps of engineers and also includes the world's largest water pumping station. kevin: time for inflation nation, this signals the beginning of the summer holiday season at the summer cookout season but after prices on gas and groceries and every thing else seem to be going up for months and months, there may be a glimmer of hope you friday's report from the fed means anything. inflation gauge showed a slow down for the first time since november of 2020. what does it mean to you? brit hume's assistant editor at the wall street journal and fox news contributor. i want to show you the gas prices. that is where everybody begins and ends. i filled up today for perspective. it used to cost $44 to fill my gas tank. i philip today and it cost me $87 so if you are trying to drive your car and have the big suv you are over $100, that has to make a big impact. >> it is hitting everywhere, first time in america we had gas over $4 a gallon in all 50 states. we tend to think of places like california having high prices, hitting every

you're not going to have a good understanding of what's going on then did it the army corps of engineers come out to survey the land. yeah. yeah that was before. so the army corps of is surveying ongoingly. but it doesn't mean that the people who are writing the policy are listening to the army corps of engineer. you'd think they would listen. yes. i'm with you. i think you're right. i think they would listen, but they're not in some cases in other cases the like so i mean, obviously the homestead law and a lot of these things are going to be debated. right? and so there's gonna be they're gonna bring in some of this but we are talking about very singularly minded individuals, you know kind of they know the right answer. that's not trying to cast aspersion they believe they have the right answer and then they understand and unless you have traveled significantly in the united states you even today it's hard to know how let me just how different regions of this country are so yeah, they just didn't understand. i think amendment, they just didn't understand and some of that also the army c

because it's the sea wall program, we're also working with the army corps of engineer and received a waiver to increase the study from 36 to 86 months. this is a 50/50 split between the army corps and the port. if they determine that there is a project this could unlock billions of dollars in funding which the port will have to match 65/35. this last year is what we've been using since the bond report back in 2013. we know that this is going to change. but we have not officially made any changes to date. once we scope with the project with the 11 that we're starting with. this will be a different draft when we come back to you in a different presentation. but since we have not switched it to date we're still using these amounts. wups we determine the project for the early projects, we'll determine the next bond sale amount and make that application to get that done, as i said when we start the process, we hope to have the bond sale sold at the beginning of 2023. if there is a delay in the bond sale, there will delay the project. last time when there was a delay to the lawsuit, the po

first, the army corps of engineers announced that they were reopening this. at they were reopening the decision. second, mike ingram and his 12 buddies of his, they -- a quarter of 1 million dollars to the trump victory fund and to the republican national committee. and number three, the fish and wildlife -- this whistleblower, this fish and wildlife person -- got a phone call telling him that he needed to reverse his decision. he got the phone call directly from the department of the interior in washington. so, the facts here are really shocking. this is a pretty quote quote. this is why this appears to be. in return for making nearly a quarter of 1 million dollars in donations, to the victory fund, to the republican national committee, this developer was basically able to buy his way around environmental protection law. the facts of the case are shocking and they are very, very serious. quid pro pro is the most insidious form of corruption there is. and officials need to know, just because they tried to hide the tracks, does not mean that congress is not goi

he ultimately ended up joining the army corps of engineers and served throughout the pacific theater. after the war, senator akaka earned both his bachelor's and master's degree at the university of hawaii. after working several years in state government, akaka was persuaded to enter elected office to ensure there would be a native hawaiian presence in the decision-making process. elected to the house of representatives in 1977, daniel akaka became a congressional champion of indigenous and veteran issues and in 1990 was elected the representative of hawaii in the united states senate. for his recognition of the aapi community, more than 30 medals of honor were awarded to asian and asian american world war ii veterans, a recognition of their patriotism and bravery that was long overdue. when it comes to naming the v.a. outpatient clinic in this body, i asked, who better than daniel kahikina akaka, a hawaiian born, hawaiian-serving veteran whose life philosophy was sharing aloha and a true public servant for over three decades? s. 1760 has letters of support from our colleagues in the
