southern illinois hates him.has to bring a gun to his speeches and lay it on the dais and show he's not going to tolerate anyone who tries to rush him or shout him down and they tend to shout him down, including his sister, who supports southern causes. his own mother won't speak to them several years after the war. his position, prounion generally, but now supporting the abolition of slavery is wrinkling all his former friends in southern illinois and is tearing apart his family as well. but he gives a series of speeches for all the republicans in southern illinois and the same district that voted so heavily against him voted for lincoln by 1000 boats. logan turned that district around. all the republicans logan campaigned for one by fairly narrow margins, but it was logan who was responsible. there's been no accomplishment by a true political general both at war and on the home front and you saw what logan did from may in 1864 in georgia through september. dramatic change and that's why logan becomes his hero.

about just think about moving to illinois to attend northern illinois university.y friends said, why don't you go off to basic training. you are going to come home and know more about the military. if you want to be a diplomat, you should learn more about military power. >> you joined the military. why did you decide you wanted to be a blackhawk helicopter pilot? why didn't you take an easier job? >> i thought i was going to be a linguist because i spoke thai and indonesian. when i was getting ready to be commissioned, when you sit down and write down what you would like to do in the army and the army decides what they would like you to do. i was sitting in the classroom and was the only woman in my rotc. the instructor said, write down whatever you want, but whatever the army need is what you will do. guys, put down combat jobs even if you are an accounting major. except for duckworth. he called me out specifically. women are not allowed in combat. so, pick whatever you want. i remember thinking this was inherently unfair, not for me, but for the guys. i was going

and attend northern illinois university.avid: you did apply, you got there and it changed your life. while you were there, why did you decide to join the military? sen. duckworth: my friends in my classes were military officers or veterans. they said, why don't you go off to basic training? you'll earn a little bit of money for the summer. you won't spend it because there is no way the drill sergeants will give you time to spend the money you earn. you will come home, you will know more about the military. you want to become a diplomat, you should learn more about military power. i thought yeah, why don't i do that? david: why did you decide you wanted to be a helicopter pilot? why did you not say i will take an easier job? sen. duckworth: i thought i was going to become a linguist. i spoke thai and studied french. i was getting ready to be commissioned, you write down what you would like to do in the army and the army decides what they want you to do. i remember sitting in the classroom as the only woman in my rotc unit whe

illinois' primary is very early.n march and so i had to make a decision by march of 2015 if i wanted to run for senate. so i was still on maternity leave. i didn't want -- i thought i am not going to run for senate. i just had this baby, i am on maternity leave, but then i looked and realized that should i ever want to run for the united states senate, this was the opportunity. so i took the chance. ♪ ♪ david: let's talk about the united states senate. is it pleasurable to be united states senator? it seems like they are always fighting, they don't have compromises, and nothing is done by bipartisan anymore. is it enjoyable or not quite as enjoyable as you hoped? sen. duckworth: it's challenging, but i love my job because of what i get to do. it's a tough job, but i get to serve the people, my constituency. and i get to see the results of my work. i passed legislation that now requires lactation rooms in all of our nation's airports because when i had my daughter and i was traveling i was told if you want to breast-f

this is the archive where we have 52,000 items related to abraham lincoln and a vast archive of illinois history, 12 million pages worth of manuscripts, 200,000 books, photographs, videos etc. the place where researchers come to write books about abraham lincoln, education etc. even filmmakers come here and across the street in the museum that is where the public comes from all over the world. over 100 countries worldwide come to our museum to learn more about the life and times of abraham lincoln. here in the library we love the museum because it is our stage where we can put these documents and personal items that illustrate the life of abraham lincoln and share them with the world. we have 52,000 pieces in our lincoln collection, the majority of those pieces are downstairs in our archives. many of those pieces reside in our vault. we hear it is our job to preserve these items, we cut 500 years from now, know it sounds like a long way off but i want people to see these pieces that help bring abraham lincoln's life will color so today i pulled some items from the vault that i did to sha

the gentleman from illinois? the gentleman from illinois reserves.the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. takano: let me just say this bill from ms. brownley is about providing equal access to contraceptions to our nation's veterans. to oppose this bill is to advocate for a situation where veterans are made second-class citizens. this bill is about contraception. nowhere in the bill's text or in the title does the word abortion even appear. i would ask that my colleagues who are in opposition to the bill to read the one-page text very carefully. i think they will see there is no reference to in any way the word abortion. we are therefore -- and i would also say, i think that consistency is the hob gobbling of little minds. for those members who voted against this bill in fear of the moment, that they reconsider their vote and get on the right side of the issue in terms of equality for our veterans. i now would like to yield one minute to my colleague and very good friend from the state of illinois, the chair woman of the subcommittee on ener

and so and lincoln of course comes from illinois and illinois was arguably the most nigraphobic state in the union. the the black laws of illinois were infamous they not only forbed black people from voting holding office sitting on juries testifying about about against whites in court. serving in malicious and the like but, illinois pioneered a new wrinkle in the discrimination game and that was to forbid black people to settle in the state. in 1847 a new constitution was written for illinois replacing the one that had first been established when the state entered the union in 1818. and the 1847 constitutional convention produced a document that was ratified by 70% of the vote in 1848 and one of the provisions in that brand new constitution of 1848 was uh provision that provided for the legislature to pass a law forbidding blacks to settle in the state. since 1848 not long thereafter indiana passes a law to that effect. oregon adopts a law to that effect, kansas adopts a law to that effect. and illinois actually doesn't get around to passing the law until 1853, but in 1848, it had la

the gentleman from illinois is recognized. mr. davis: thank you, madam speaker. i'm really pleased to lead this effort with my good friend and colleague, the chair of the highways and transit subcommittee, miss holmes norton. as she said this important legislation directs the general services administration to provide rent relief to the national children's museum that's currently housed in the ronald reagan building and international trade center right here in washington, d.c. currently the museum is the only federally designated museum sitting in a federal building that is required to pay rent. this bill will give the museum the same benefits afforded to other congressionally designated museums. prepandemic the museum offered our children the ability to interact with exhibits that were focused on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. that allowed children to foster greater appreciation for our stem fields. as our country reopens and we look to the future, the museum will continue to build off that success and become e

that's right, we're staying in illinois, a couple miles away, evanston, illinois.own is holding juneteenth and gay pride celebrations but they are cancel july 4th festivities. that decision to cancel those events took place in march. the town defended themselves, saying there are deadlines for permits and taking applications for the parade that happened early in the year. we erreed on the side of caution. if things weren't better we would have been criticized for being a super spreader event. there's actually going to be, you'll be talking about this next hour with kathy barnett, u.s. senate candidate in pennsylvania, she's a veteran, i'm sure you'll have a great conversation about that they say they're erring on the side of caution. maybe they can do a 4th of july celebration without the fireworks, he throw something together. i don't know, it's -- i understand why they're saying you have to apply for permits and time is a factor but at the same time, you still do have a little time. todd: you have two weeks. jillian: you know what, let's rally together and let's

suffrage, so illinois allowed non-citizens to vote. so in from 1818 until their second constitution, they allowed. inhabitants to vote and several other states did the same thing that you needed to have declared your intent. to become a citizen, but that's it. so with that, i think that slowly changes and so by the civil war. i think it's seen more of as an attribute of citizenship. but so i'm in the book. i just talk about it in a broad sense of as the sense of belonging to a community or not to a political community. all right. okay good. that's helpful. i'd i knew that some states did allowed non-citizens to vote in that era. i didn't know illinois was one of them. that's interesting. do you that didn't fade away until like the 1930s and then it's it's coming back a little bit in terms of letting permanent residence vote for like school elections. yeah, local elections and things. yeah. um lucas i want to build off the citizenship question, but bring it to you with thinking about lincoln and the founding so roger tony and the dred s

we think of illinois because it was an ostensibly free state. we assumed that there is a kind of -- if not a tolerance of black people, there wasn't. you have a lot of people in southern illinois, especially, who are coming from the south. and even people who are coming from the north are not necessarily problack. steven a. was very effective in invoking the name of frederick douglass whenever he talked about lincoln being a black republican or someone who was supportive of the rights of african-americans. and, of course, lincoln countered by saying that he was not interested in promoting the rights of african-americans. he just believed that they were entitled to whatever they had earned through their labor. >> there's a reason they call the southern half of illinois little egypt and sometimes central alabama. nothing against alabama. at one point during the debates in illinois, oh, yeah, i saw abe lincoln riding around in a carriage with fred. douglass hated being called fred in public. lincoln rides around in carriages with fred douglass. tha

i'm proud that my home state of illinois is not one of them. in fact, our legislature recently voted to expand ballot access. for those who aren't lucky enough to live in illinois, h.r. 1 is a much needed defense against widespread voter suppression. as the senate considers these long overdue reforms, i rise today here in the house of representatives to insist that representation matters. that's congress' role in our representative democracy. to represent the american people. if the members elected to this chamber don't represent the diversity of the american people's backgrounds and their experiences, we can't do a good job of representing their perspective and advocating for their needs. consider that women make up just over a quarter of the 117th congress. and that's the highest percentage it's ever been. we see the effects of this lack of diversity in the way our government works for women. or rather the fact that it doesn't work for women. women have been hit harder than men by job loss during the pandemic. this is partly because women sti

now, that camp happened in rushville, illinois.at's about four hours southwest of chicago. the camp took place earlier this month, specifically during the week of june the 13th. the camp was from june 13th through the 17th. the illinois department of health says the campers and the staff were not required to wear their mask when they were inside. the camp also didn't ask the attendees or the staff about their vaccination status. that specific camp was created for 8th through 12th graders. it was also open to graduating seniors. now, cnn has reached out to the camp. they have not responded to us for comment about this situation. however, on its website, they did post this message, and this message appears, if you try to register for another camp because there is another camp, a one-day camp for first graders and kindergartners taking place next month. that statement says, due to a recent outbreak of covid-19, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our fourth and fifth grade camp. jim and poppy? >> adrian broadus, we thank y

levin: thank you to my friend from illinois. thank you to chair castor for your exceptional leadership of our select committee. my colleagues have done a good job so far of explaining why we need ambitious climate action that follows the science and meets the scale of the challenge we face. however, i'd like to highlight one climate impact that's particularly important in the area i represent. my district encompasses more than 50 miles of coastline in southern california, north county san diego, south orange county. our coasts are a huge part of our communities. they drive our economies and are critical to our way of life. sea level rise threatens all of. this it's accelerating the erosion of our coast which washes away beaches and threatens critical infrastructure like the los angeles-san diego-san luis obispo rail corridor, known as the losan cordon. it's the second busiest passenger rail corridor in the united states and busiest state-supported amtrak route. with nearly three million inner city passengers an five million comm

book i spend a fair amount of time talking about ohio and other places in the midwest especially illinois and indiana, these places were along with michigan and wisconsin part of the northwest territory. and ohio was the first state to come into the union after that big chunk of territory. when ohio came into the union in 1803, the state legislator began passing laws that were discriminatory against african-americans, so before that, congress had outlawed slavery throughout the territory. it was a place where it was already practiced by the french and british in the 17th and 18th century so when congress began to organize the territory they outlawed slavery but that didn't mean, and this is important, that didn't mean the state legislators couldn't pass laws that discriminated against black people. so ohio led the way starting in 1804 and then 1807 passing these laws that were designed to discourage black migration north over the ohio river from neighboring states like virginia and kentucky. and they required african-american residents to register with county officials basically to show f

host: we want to welcome congressman garcia, a democrat of illinois representing the chicago area and a member of the -- we learn from reporting on capitol hill that the white house told democrats at a bipartisan bill is not struck, that in seven to 10 days, democrats should be ready to go at it alone, in other words using reconciliation, only requiring a majority vote, not 60? are you comfortable with that approach? guest: i think the president has done everything possible so far to strike a bipartisan deal. it does not seem to be working yet, there is still the prospect we may do so, but i remain skeptical. the bill that we passed out of the committee last week, the invest in america act, i think is a great starting point for infrastructure investment. it is an ambitious undertaking that would bring our transportation system into the 21st century and especially began addressing the challenges of climate change and the climate crisis while bringing equity to communities that for too long have paid a steep price because of the investment that has occurred that brings a lot of bad thin

in addition, a state like illinois that has harsher gun laws right next to a state like indiana that has easier gun laws just means a large number of chicago shootings are using guns coming from outside of illinois. the correlation exists when you look at the crime guns in the atf, the number of guns the atf is recovering. most of which are not homicides. which is an indication of the number of illegal guns floating around in a state and a state's moderate. louisiana has led murders for 30 years and also has the highest rate of firearms being recovered in the state. there is certainly some evidence of a relationship there between illegal guns and high murder rates. host: let's get to calls. we will start with mike in whitehouse, ohio. go ahead. caller: really appreciate you guys being on. i have a million things to say, but i will try to keep it short growing up in the country, living outside of toledo i was curious if your company looks into or provides any data -- whether it be publicly or privately -- on the people in these cities committing these crimes have any sort of nuclear f

illinois democrats think they found a new voter base for their corrupt designs. reason inmates.akers consumed pickup legislation to restore voting rights to convicted criminals who are still serving jail time. of course they obviously see inmates as a captive audience as they can harvest ballots, vacuum upvotes, you know how it goes. but that's not all. just days ago governor j.b. pritzker gave democrats another tool to ensure ill-gotten dominance, signing and explicitly partisan redistricting bill that heavily favors democrats. of course there was also something old j.b. promised not to do. he promised not to do it while running for governor. joining me now is jason hill, professor of philosophy at depaul university, author of the forthcoming book, "what do white americans owe black people? racial justice in the age of black oppression. jason, thanks for joining us. this is kind of nothing new under the sun in a way because we've seen this type of machine politics, but really this has gone back more than a hundred years, but voting rights for inmates, still behind bars? that's

casten of illinois. when we marked these bills up in financial services committee, i pointed out that even though democrats believe these bills are in alignment as they boat address the need for climate related disclosure, they are intentioned with one another. for example, congressman vargas' bill suggested that a disclosure system is sufficient by providing an annual report describing the long-term e.s.g. strategy and e.s.g. related metrics which presumably would include climate risk. on the other hand, congressman casten says that a disclosure should report the same metrics but additionally needs to disclose the social and human impact of a company's actions he, analyze how the company's reputation might be affected by climate, detail the board's oversight, and has a long list of statutory additions. the democrats often say that we need to mandate measuring climate risk because this is science. but deloitte reported that science has not agreed on the methodology for measuring climate risks. and even w
