but jackson is 13 at this point at least by and excuse my 1780. jackson is 13 at this point. so madison at this point would have been just you know that nine years older than that. but while madison in most people's eyes would be of an average and acceptable age to serve as a combatant during the american revolution andrew jackson himself is serving as a combatant during the american revolution now, he's 13 when this begins and he joins the american army on the example of his oldest brother hugh jackson who was killed at the battle of stone oak theory in 1779 often we get the question. what in the world is a 13 year old kids doing in in a military situation and an army what army would accept the services of the 13 or a 15 years old boy. jackson is serving the american army largely is a messenger. it seems a courier. this is a kid who's who is on his home tour right this frontier of the caroline? is this sort of backwater of british north america and so here is jackson. getting in a combat role also serving in support capacities jackson himself has taken a prisoner of war at t

jackson's 13 at this point, at least by 1780 jackson is 13. madison at this point would have been about 90 years older than that. while madison, in most people's eyes, would have been an average age to serve as a combatant during the american revolution, andrew jackson is serving at 13. he has 13 when this begins and he joins the american army on the example of his oldest brother who was killed at the battle of -- in 1779. often we get the question what is a 13-year-old kid doing in a military situation, in an army? what army would accept a services of a 13 or 15 year old boy? jackson is serving the american army largely as a messenger, a career. this is a kid who is on his home turf. the frontier of the carolinas. this backwater of british north america. here is jackson, fighting in a combat role and also serving in several other capacities. jackson, himself, is taken a prisoner of war at the age of 14 shortly after the battle of hanging rock. which is an american victory. he has taken prisoner by the british, which you see represented in thi

jackson had drawn that. and then, here comes jackson marching into pensacola. madison and monroe have given him no orders to do this. jackson sends a letter in which he writes -- he writes to madison, when that letter makes it to washington. madison is put off by this event and the letter that man wrote it. he is willing to put this in the realm of hypotheticals. he could have drawn an inference they know his nature. he's asking for forgiveness. there's another wonderful story, or an account. it was the patriot war of west florida. is florida, i am sorry. general matthews marches in a force of militiamen and local men within the georgia and carolinas. we are patriots, our future is florida. it means the fate of the united states -- and assert the dominance of united states security and rotate forces. off the marches into florida. madison has is horrified as what he is done. he has the man replaced as a commander. matthew marches into florida, and what matches -- it's just that, they already know how to work with jackson. they know what to expect either jackson'

here's the mayor of jackson. here he is from tuesday in a news conference that he held. >> it is because of our transparency that the state is aware of the many challenges our system faces. because of our transparency that we know about the staffing shortages. it is because of our transparency that they know about the system issues and it is because of our transparency that they know about the numerous equipment failures that we have. this is a set of accumulated problems based on deferred maintenance that has not taken place over decades. so, let's talk about what you do next. let's look forward to the united front we have now announced and look forward to. we are grateful to add the state to our team for the betterment of our city, jackson, and our water system. host: the mayor of jackson, mississippi earlier this week. we are asking all of you this morning to tell us if you are concerned about the drinking water in your community and why. we will get to those calls. joining us this morning by zoom is mark edwa

the democratic mayor of jackson. local news outlets later reported that he had not been invited to the governor's news conference, and although the mayor has argued that the city and state are working together, it seems quite apparent that there is a disconnect between state and local leadership and that breakdown could not come at a worse time. the water crisis facing jackson comes at a point in which the city is already grappling with a dire set of circumstances. one in four residents live in poverty, and in some of the hardest hit parts of jackson, the average household makes just $25,000 a year. in some cases, effective households are pulling in just $15,000 annually. since the year 2,000, the annual median income in jackson has dropped $6500 to a whopping 15%. meanwhile these are the residents who are being asked to keep afloat a water infrastructure system that is in some areas more than 100 years old. the city is very plainly dealing with an eroding and shrinking tax base and a crumbling water system and here

what happened in jackson mississippi people dismiss it is jackson and won't happen other places.y of responding to disasters i have seen those come so close that larger systems almost fail. in 2010 record-setting floods in nashville impacted both water treatment plants. one was flooded and shut down resulting 15 percent capacity for the region. the other facility came within 1 foot of failure only by her role expand bagging efforts could they save it. it took over 30 days to repair the first facility to get full water backup. as a ranking member pointed out not only public safety and treatment water but economic because it slow down the recovery. they cannot bring back the tourism venues until the plant was back online. is not the only story. columbia south carolina, 2014. record-setting floods. blew out the intake canal through the water treatment plant. when nikki haley was governor. the national guard literally flying 3000-pound sand bags to rebuild and fortify so they could not lose the water system. we know about flint michigan. once again fema was asked to come in on the em

then jackson is stuck.of funding going directly into the community and often times there is technical assistance but it doesn't reflect what the communities are asking for at that moment. if there is technical assistance in jackson mississippi but they say we actually are ready for the implementation phase that technical assistance is a mismatch even though there is federal funding is not what the community needs at that moment. and that with that disaggregated data and with those indexes that are readily available and then also because there is a deliberate disinvestment. black and brown communities with the infrastructure so that we know there has been a deliberate disinvestment there has to be fired tree at the federal level to acknowledge how that has created even more issues from jackson mississippi the jackson problem has only increased because there is deliberate disinvestment in jackson now they are at the billions. >> thank you we need to reinforce the state of mississippi as governor to have no gr

but jackson's not a part of mississippi, jackson to be honest, is a problem that you guys should figure out. and if we help you, we have to control how we help you. >> i am sure it will be easier to advocate for jackson if jackson were 82% white and not 82% black. but we have to leave their. jarvis dortch, thank you for your time, please do stay safe. >> thank. you >> still to come, the catastrophic floods in pakistan, the catastrophic floods here in the u.s. and the steps we need to take right now to mitigate the effect of climate change. tv science educator, you all know him, bill and i will be here on the other side of this break to talk about want this climate change, and its new show, stay with us. , stay with us say veri just $30?

now, and people will say that people love jackson -- left jackson because of bad services. well, that may be partially true, but in mississippi, people left largely because they did not want to be educated with black children. they did not want to live with black people. the federal government help facilitate that through investment. so what i have been saying is we need to fix this issue. no question about it. but we also need to recognize that black communities are devalued and we also need to fix races the issues about not wanting to live together. at its best, infrastructure is a shared resource for economic and community development. it helps learning, all these other things. we can do things together with shared infrastructure. but right now, it is not shared. we don't have the sense that we are all in this together. host: let me invite viewers to call in and answer questions about the topic at hand. you can call us at regional lines today. eastern and central time zones, (202) 748-8000. mountain and pacific time zones, (202) 748-8001. and you can text us at (202) 748

c., whether it is jackson., a white republican-led state house, many of whom, the most powerful members live at side of the city. this is not their problem. do you think that this is the legacy of structural racism? how do you look at this, and look at the color lines, which so clearly inform these crises? >> if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. i don't know if any white run city that is a capital city has been treated like jackson, mississippi. we can fix it, but we need our republican elected officials, who have been receiving the largest of the federal money coming from washington, to grow their cities. the highways are better their water systems or better, the entire infrastructure of the suburban communities being developed, at the expense of the inner city. they use the inner cities population to get the money, and then they spend the money in the suburbs. what is happening here with jackson though is the mayor of jackson is struggling, because the resources that he

that jackson is going through what they are right now. we absolutely need to show the american public, particularly black america, that this legislation that was passed is going to address this issue. as blue voters to remember, who voted for the bipartisan partisan infrastructure bill, and who did not vote for it from this november. >> we must make sure local officials bring that infrastructure bill money back into those communities that have been disproportionately impacted. you are right, if it wasn't for president biden and the democrats in congress, we would not even have that. thank you very much, congressman mark veasey. joining me now is fema administrator deanne criswell. administrator criswell, thank you for joining us tonight. of course, i have to start with the situation in jackson, mississippi. right now, roughly 150,000 mostly black residents are headed into their second week without clean water after a crucial treatment plant failed last month. president biden has since issued an emergency declaration. and is meeting with c

they pay about $20 for water in jackson.of water in st. joe, which we had to replace the entire system for 500 people, it cost $10 million. had to get clean pipes, new system put in. when you look at the impact of what people pay, it cost about $32 to get clean water to your front door. so, people get confused, because in many places in the south, they combine your water bill, your -- and your wastewater, your sewage bill in one. so you pay 70 to $80 and you think, i'm paying a lot of money for water! they're not. if you're not paying at least $32, that water system is not sustainable. >> but no one will win an election by saying, you pay 20 bucks for water, it should be 32. you pay this much for electricity, it should be. this you pay this much for wastewater, it should be this. it's just -- not we are in a weird political system as it is, but even 15 years ago in 25 years ago, when all of politics wasn't broken, nobody ever ran an election on i'm going to fix your infrastructure. how do we fix that? they call guys like you

if you look, for example, jackson mississippi, and is free and reduced lunch. need it. it is likely from places like jackson mississippi, as well. >> i'd like to switch gears before we go, and look at this headline from the new york times. there's a new academic study, saying, it is from notably, mississippi, facing the highest personal cost in the country, and is the time, and the effort, to cast a ballot. correct me if i'm wrong, and maybe i'm being conspiratorial, but is there a connection between making it harder for voters to make lawmakers accountable, and lawmakers marginalized constituents, and communities. >> you are right on the money. this is one of the many things that have been enacted here, and mississippi. they have been making it much harder, particularly for the black majority, and the delta, and the jackson area, being able to exercise their right, and being able to build some power. we have one of the highest concentrations of black populations of any state, in the country. and, it should have far more power, on the basis of those numbers, th

jackson available right now. so the state has the 75 million this year through the bipartisan infrastructure law to provide clean and safe water this year with a total of 429 million available to the state over the next five years. so we're looking across the federal government to see what else we can do. but you know, again this this administration were committed -- the emergency that we're currently seeing in jackson shows how long deteriorating water infrastructure can quickly turn into an emergency. as mayor lumumba said, this is a result of decades of under investment. so that is why the president is making this a priority. so look, there's funding there that the state can tap into for infrastructure needs, a bipartisan funding law, infrastructure law. that the president worked very hard and congress did as well to make sure we deal with these types of long term issues, and so we think that, you know, that should be happening, that should be moving forward. >> can you talk about why the president has not spo
