a lead organizer for the mississippi immigrant coalition and working together mississippi, instrumental in providing support and aid to families affected by the mississippi ice raids. i asked each witness to summarize their statement beginning with mr. johnson. >> members of the committee, i want to thank you for this opportunity to talk about these unprecedented rates that occur on august 2. i represented thousands of clients. nothing i have ever done has impacted me like the work i have been involved in on behalf of the more than one thousand people impacted by the largest workplace raids in the united states history. i have sat face-to-face with dozens and dozens of people who have told me through tears about their fears, their concerns, the dreams they had. i am struck repeatedly by the extent to which they are vulnerable and confused and scared, and i am left to ask the question why? why in mississippi. i want to focus my remark on two areas. i want to make clear these rates were not carried out and in response to any outcry to people here in mississippi. we did not ask for this. i

johnson is the white mississippi. i suspect why why tennessee is because this is read meet the trumpets throwing to his face to see look, i'm for you. in this way. mr. johnson say that might be white happen here. >> i certainly believed it might be wiped there is no other good explanation congressman cowans. there has not been any sense in mississippi that we are at risk in any way that our communities are endangered anyway so what else might be. but the dictate from the administration and hasn't learned the lessons of history that when we run a people based on the color of the skin or their country of origin, they always look back in horror and shame. >> you mentioned the previous attorney. was that an obama appointee. >> is enacting u.s. attorney. good began at the end of the bush administration and there was great over into the beginning of the obama administration. >> question starting to look pretty good. >> i said that more than once.

thinking of the old mississippi. is that connection with the old mississippi with nina simone similar to what we have with immigrants that there are efforts in this state that are antagonistic toward others, toward people of color? >> it's not the same, maybe a little worse. it's really disheartening to look at some of the officials who are responsible for guaranteeing basic rights. how they treat them and how they speak to them. i was treated in a similar way, but not nearly as bad. rights as american citizens. i could demand my rights. i can fight. they can't. i should protect myself. they can't. >> let me remind everyone of the april 5 of 2018, there tennessee which, at the time, was the largest workplace raid in our nation and nearly a decade. it's so similar to this one that in syria. it andnotes concerning we wrote secretary nielsen, probably to deaf ears, and it was similar the way the children were treated. they were traumatized in the actions and the fact that the employer was not arrested. this was a meat p

mississippi welcomes you because mississippi is donald j. trump country. [cheers and applause] we gave you almost 60% of the vote in 2016 and next year we will do even better. the reason is, because president trump is a strong leader. he is the right leader to defeat the radical liberals who have taken over the democrat party. now, these radical liberals have been trying to remove our president from office since the very day he was sworn in. they have disrespected him and that means they have disrespected us. jim hood does not stand with our president, he stands at the radical liberals. when the radical liberals tried to stop the president on border security, jim hood stood with the liberals. when the choice was donald j. trump, our cricket hillary, he stood with hillary clinton. and today with the election just days away, i'm standing with president donald trump and jim. and jim hood's standing with the liberals. now mississippi, it's time to choose. it's time to stand up and be counted. are we going to stand with president donald trump? are you going to

and mississippi loves our military, that i can tell you. and our military loves mississippi.ca is winning again and america is all over the world, respected again. it's about time. but while we are creating jobs and creatin killing terrorists,e democratic party has gone completely insane. the radical left is determined to transform. you wouldn't recognize that we are the ones standing in their way and we will never get out of their way, it will be easy. from the even before we look won the election, the democrats and the fake news media, look at all of them. it is too bad that we get such good ratings because if we didn't, they wouldn't -- you look at how many and it's like the academy awards before it failed. and you know why it failed? because they disrespected us. but the media and the democrats have been engaged in a corrupt partnership trying to impose their will and to thwart american democracy by any means necessary. you see what's going on. first they engineered the russia hoax, that was a total hoax. the single greatest lies ever given to the american people. then, t

mississippi more than alabama. louisiana and mississippi. these plantations don't ever change the fact that virginia is the largest slaveholding state in the country in 1860. virginia has a norma's sleigh popular -- enormous slave populations. if you're going to start a rebellion, you need to know the demographics. what are they in virginia? in virginia, whites outnumber propitiou county? southampton county has more slaves than whites. i also want to go back to this map of cotton production. production extends into southampton county. when we see where it is going, we know where sleigh production is going. the black belt, the mississippi river. this will also play an important role in the revolt. why? we see the shift of the slave population from the coast, which is where it is in the 1830 map, to the mississippi river area. without taking the slave population away from virginia. virginia still has a slave population, it is just the growth in slave population happens in the west. slaves ine number of the country in 1830? 2 million. in 1860?

you had the best mississippi -- the best year you've ever had in the history of our country, mississippi, your statistics, and mississippi, aren't you getting tired of winning? >> no. >> i guess not. so phil doesn't come to me and say, "sir, please. we're winning too much. the people of mississippi can't take it any more." i don't think you will ever have to make that trip. i don't think he's ever going to have to -- and i don't think tate will ever have to make that trip. we are one movement. one people. one family and one glorious nation under god. america is thriving like never before, and ladies and gentlemen of mississippi, the best is yet to come.

different story in mississippi.eutenant governor tate reeves will win the race over the democratic attorney general jim hood. back with us is jessica levinson and lonnie chin. so, virginia, this was a state race where democrats embraced the presidential candidates. republicans were running away from the president. why is that that strategy worked for democrats in virginia and it didn't work for republicans? >> well, i think it's largely a story of demographics. i know i keep saying this, but if you look at the voter registration, if you look at how the parties are trending, who the likely voters are in virginia, i think who they embraced in terms of the democratic candidates is part of the story. but who they are is a huge part of the story. virginia has been trending to be more democratic. if you look at who was elected, this is a pretty young and liberal group. we have a few firsts. i believe we have the first transgender state legislature, first muslim legislature, first indian american immigrant who is a state l

the problem with a tight race like this in mississippi is mississippi state election law. in order to win the election out right, a gubernatorial candidate not only has to get a majority of the popular vote, 50% plus one vote but also win the majority of the state house district. if no candidate is able to satisfy both, then the election remains undecided and not determined until january when the state house of representatives convenes and can take a vote and the statehouse is under can -- republican control. >> so interesting, all the minutia of different state laws, some of this may be drawn out for weeks or months. thank you for your report tonight. democrats taking full control of the virginia statehouse for the first time in two decades winning both the house and the senate. prior to the election republicans had a slim majority in both houses. several districts went blue in tonight's election redrawn by federal courts making them friendly to democrats. this comes despite ralph northron's brace and abortion controversy and rape allegations against just and fairfax whic

in mississippi. so it's a strange but fascinating place.i'd be happy to go back to work. >> if the democrats support unpopular policies based on principles like justice. including medicare for all that takes away private health insurance and reparations. are you concerned that divide to the electorate and helps reelect the opposition? >> it's a great question. i'm not a prophet. i got the last election wrong. [laughter] >> but, that was the question. if you remember in the democratic primary of 2016. and i've got to say i supported bernie sanders. i voted for hillary when she became the nominee. but, i supported bernie sanders for a couple reasons. one is, i do live in a social democratic country that is far to the left of where he is. some of these things just seem self-evident to me. but the other thing is, i saw how excited my kids got which is really quite interesting to see a bunch of 20-year-olds saying, he's just telling the truth. this is what needs to happen. i haven't made a decision on who to support yet which is actually lovely

so, the republicans won mississippi. kind of night is this for republicans when that's the big success? especially considering this is much better margin for the democrat than in the last race there. >> as alice said it's clear that republicans are suffering in a couple places that they'll need to perform well if they'll do well in 2020. including in the suburbs that they struggled in in 2018. we're seeing that continuing in virginia. where the suburbs really fled from the republican party and democrats flipped a couple chambers there. republican remain strongly red. except the kentucky the governor race, which was a little bit of an aberration. there are signs warning signs for the republican party. there's warning signs for the democrats as well. and they're not doing so well in rural areas. if republicans continue to bleed some of the votes it will be difficult to win in a number of states that are either swing states or trending toward swing states. texas has been a place where we have seen this so called republicans

and mississippi. the president will only be on the ground, here mississippi for a short while.he reason for his visit comes just days before the voters here in the state, are said to go to the polls to decide the next governor of mississippi. and mississippi is traditionally a very, usually solid red state. this is interesting that this is one race and monday people are watching it. between the states current attorney general, democrat jim hunt in those states republican lieutenant governor, reeves, and it appears this race could be quite close. i want to show you a poll that from mid-october showing likely voters here. and they are showing the republican, lieutenant governor with only a small lead. about three percentage. this well within the margin of error over democrat jim hood. the president's visit could be what that presented lieutenant governor comes across the finish line and tuesday. but they democrat in the street, is campaigning. he was here in tupelo today. making it clear that he is still believes that he has a strong shot to become the state his governor. we do e

the people of mississippi can't take it anymore. i don't think you will ever have to make that trip. i don't think he's going to have to ever make that trip. we are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under god. [cheers and applause] >> president trump: america is striving like never before and ladies and gentlemen of mississippi, the best is yet to come. [cheers and applause] because together, we will make america wealthy again, we will make america stronger again, we will make america proud again, we will make america safe again. we will make america great again! and thank you, mississippi. thank you. [cheers and applause] >> laura: i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington today. of course, the president just wrapping up a huge speech and in tupelo, mississippi. his first rally since dallas and you can tell there were some things he wanted to get off of his chest. we will have a full recap and analysis with mercedes schlapp, gregg jarrett, and upon doesn't in. first, the democrats

collins" our next witness is the district attorney for three counties in mississippi. he has been a real leader in combating these scams. first selected at the tender age of 30, one of the youngest d.a.'s in the state's history, mr. richardson later became the first african-american to serve as president of the mississippi prosecutors association. finally, last but certainly not least, we will hear from inspector carol harris, the acting inspector in charge of communications, governance and strategy group at the united states postal inspection service. inspector harris is also a lieutenant colonel in the u.s. marine corps reserve who served in iraq and kuwait, and was awarded the navy marine corps commendation medal. he now leads operation protect veterans for the postal inspection service and will discuss efforts to combat fraud targeting veterans. mr. wells, we begin with you. thank you all for being here. mr. wells: thank you. thank you for having me here. it is an honor to speak about this issue. as you said, senator collins, i was an air force veteran and got out

so why on earth would the framers of the mississippi constitution have done this? they were extremely explicit about their intentions at the time. in 1889, senator james george was predicting that african-americans would soon outnumber white voters in the state 2 to 1 so he called for a new, quote, constitution that would ensure home government under the control of the white people of the state. one of the framers of that new constitution was a man named james k. vardaman who would go on to be a u.s. senator and governor of mississippi. there is no use to equivocate or lie about the matter. mississippi's constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate the "n" word from politics. in other words, after white supremacists in the south used violence and terrorism to beat back universal male suffrage for everyone black and white during reconstruction, they then put into place explicitly white supremacist anti-majority governing structures to preserve white control of the state at all costs. that included poll taxes and literary tests wh

because there was no way for me to know in northern mississippi what is happening in southern mississippi, there is no way to bring awareness to my the him's or hold her accountable. >> can we centralize some services like a central database? >> i would definitely think resources to provide awareness wouldentralized location be good to provide that source. the numbers will not stop. communication, there is no way to stop those individuals. in this instance, one person was caught in mississippi and then she moved to california. harris, you have done great work. as a veteran and marine corps howrvist yourself, you know to communicate effectively about this complicated issue. could you use some help? ftc be doing more to disseminate information about fraud that targets older americans? >> i will always welcome help. our organization seeks to partner actively. and we will continue to do so. we believe in sharing information and the conflict in cases. to bring the full there of federal law-enforcement to get the best impact and find all of the facts. what else can the government do? what role

we have reporters in mississippi, virginia, and kentucky.want to begin with kentucky where president trump was last night attending a rally for the state's incumbent and embattled governor matt bevin. bevin is locked in a tight race with the state's attorney general. live with a look there, evan. >> reporter: good morning, we sure do get up early here at cnn, don't we? voting has begun here in kentucky, which is one of two red states voting today that trump won big in back in 2016. here in kentucky back in may, this looked like a really close race where incumbent governor matt bevin might really struggle. he's had a lot of nasty fights with the teachers here, he's gone after medicaid expansion, but republicans say it's that tone of voice that actually makes bevin likely to win today, and it's not just republican operatives saying it here, the republican president said it here last night with matt bevin at a rally. >> when he needs something for kentucky like money, like aid, like he wants me to call one of the many manufacturers now that are

here's the problem, neck in neck isn't good enough in the state of mississippi.to eke out a narrow victory in deep red mississippi, which in these polarized times itself would be amazing, he probably will not be governor. in fact, the estimates are that the republican lieutenant governor, the republican candidate, could lose by up to nine points in the popular vote and still be named the next governor. how you ask is that possible? well, it turns out the state constitution of mississippi has its own version of something like the electoral college. in order to be elected governor, a candidate has to win an outright majority in the statewide vote but also carry the most votes in a majority of mississippi's 122 house districts. so let's just say your support is concentrated in heavily black districts in the very segregated environments in mississippi. it's going to be real hard to carry a majority of the house districts. if a candidate doesn't win both the majority of the popular vote and a majority of those districts, well, then the mississippi house of representat

ultimately she was convicted in three counties in mississippi. wa she was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for all three counties together. in addition to the mississippi convictions, she was charged later in a 19 count federal indictment in 2015. she pled gelt to one count of indictment and was sentenced to 53 months in custody to run at the same time as she served the mississippi time. she was also ordered to pay over $2 million in restitution. after speaking to the victims, words cannot express the level of devastation she imposed on their lives. all her victims were elder lecitizel ly citizens. the crimes imposed a severe financial hardship. grace ward's one desire was that she would provide for her family financial after her death. in total, she was ordered to pay over $2.5 million in restitution. to date, she has not paid one cent in restitution. she's only paid in all her crimes $50 towards a $100 mandatory federal assessment. a well-respected prosecutor has often said it's our duty to care for our widows and our elderly. what began a

marshal service, she was arrested and brought back to mississippi. it was also at that time due to media publicity i began to receive phone calls from other victims from across the case. it was also at that time i learned of an investigation being done by kyle parker, a u.s. postal inspector. one of those sdilsh victims i spoke to was a world war ii air force veteran. as he began to show signs of alzheimer's, his children began to look for living assistance programs for him. the family was introduced to the woman in 2011. the family were made the same fraudulent promises as the wards and she was able to convince that family to hand over control of $340,000 of their funds. she guaranteed that he would receive veterans benefits as well as the same return on his investment as she promised the wards. it was not until the veteran's passing that his family learned of the fraudulent scheme. on the same day of his funeral, a postal inspector contacted his son, jamie and told them of the schemes and on the same day that they gave control of their dad's $340,

mississippi one of them. we're seeing that there tonight. but the opposition to president trump in other parts of the country only is starting to grow, and you're seeing that opposition almost a fervent opposition. the enthusiasm in virginia in particular was off the charts. they called this an off, off election year in virginia because it was only the statehouse races on the ballot. those were the biggest races. there were no federal elections contested here today. there were no statewide races. these were very hyper local races and the turnout was comparable to what you see in gubernatorial election years. the experts i talked to attribute that directly to president trump. >> he is a motivator for both sides, it seems. thanks for being with us. we appreciate the update. >>> let's go to los angeles now. loyola law school prefer jessica levinson and lanhee chen. let start with the big picture here. these are two good results for the democrats in kentucky as well as virginia. so i guess, you know, jessica, how do you see the results? you can

mississippi there's a big race for governor.s there really a chance the democratic candidate could come out on top? >> i got out of the making there's a no chance prediction when trump got elected. there's a chance. hood is the state attorney general. he's the only statewide democrat elected. if a democrat can get elected governor in mississippi it's hood. i am very skeptical a governor can get a democrat can get elected governor in mississippi. there's probably a close race, eight points. >> yeah. democrats are fighting to flip control of both chambers of the virginia legislature tomorrow. if they do, what will that tell us about 2020? >> this i think is the most important thing. people don't get all that jazzed up about state house and senate elections. republican haves a two seat majority in the state house and the state senate. both are very much in place. national spending by both parties and there's a reason. virginia is a swing state. kentucky is being competitive for the democratic nominee or mississippi. donald trump wi

when mississippi was readmitted they passed a law saying mississippi can never produce the educationalystem they just established in reconstructionca. people are ceiling in mississippi today saying that's being violated that they are violating the law requiring an adequate education for everyone but it's difficult to enforce now so they tried to make sure that these governments would act properly, but in the end the absolutelyfor ensuring it were difficult. you couldn't really have a long-term military occupation in the south. it's not in concert with the notion of a democratic society. >> they ratified the 13th amendment abolishing slavery in 1995. >> they finally got around to it and the reason they did not ratify it 1865, the legislature said was because they were afraid that congress would quote legislate on the negro question to save abolition of slavery give congress the power to protect the rights of these people, which it did and they did legislate on the negro question quickly, but they were already thinking about how will we maintain control here even though slavery's been ab

there are a few bright spots, dc, mississippi.ll, this is very bad news for the nation's children and families. >> the report card shows that students at the bottom are getting even worse. some attribute some of this to money being taken out of the system and going to networks like yours, charter schools. what's your reaction to that? >> that's ridiculous. public education is public education, whether they're served in a district or a public charter, it doesn't really matter. and that can't account for these bad results. i mean, i think there are a number of things going on, some of which have to do with schools. but as the mother, a mother of three children, the home also has to take some responsibility, for example, for reading. if kids are on social media six hours a day, they're not going to be good readers and we have to change that. >> but is it social media? many would argue -- from the american federation of teachers, they've said the evidence on achievement on voucher programs has not found statistically positi positive g

mississippi, same kind of deal.others on the left are saying be careful because in the michigans and ohios and maybe the floridas, impeachment not so popular. watch. >> anyone who has been hoping that maybe he will be convicted in the senate by republicans, that's not going to happen. he's not going to get convicted. pennsylvania, michigan, florida, north carolina, wisconsin and arizona. those are the states that is going to decide this election. impeachment 53% oppose in those states. it's a loser where this election is going to be decided. pete: boy, you made me think of something how these gubernatorial races are being run. look at the contested spots. heisman to national democrats. they are out of step with the american people, that's a bad dynamic as you move forward then you have elizabeth warren on top of it all the new you quasifrontrunner talking about new crazies. jedediah: bill maher is talking about impeachment. this is a losing argument. don't want to talk about the issues, et cetera. another person not

mississippi 50% 50% black, 50% white.they did not give the right to vote they would lose 50% of their congress. if they denied any group of men or male citizens the right to vote, in other words, they can deny women the right to vote with no political penalty. no state allowed women to vote at that moment. they were quite outraged at that. it seemed to put in the constitution the notion of political inferiority of women. the 15th amendment, as you, as you say, lead to even more debates splitting the women's movement. some of them said, no. a step forward. black men now getting the right to vote. now with the fight for an amendment giving women the right to vote. the grounds that it was creating another barrier. no citizen of the united states can be denied the right to vote because of race. it does not say anything about women or men. because of race. african-american people can no longer be denied the right to vote. states can continue now that language, they did debate this very strongly. we will never get a woman suffr
