what mr. davis is had, there was a sort of jumping, but there was a story just a few days ago that already that essentially the us dollar budget for the new kabul guffman for the next year. 90 percent of it apparently has already disappeared. independent journalist and author nicholas j. s. davies. joining us live here on the national during this breaking news and hopefully a new dawn for our dentist on thanks for joining us here and see we appreciate it. thank you. yeah, thank you. well, it has certainly been a chaotic pull out and cobble is still counting the cost of last thursday's suicide . bombing survivors of that blast at the airport spoke exclusively to our crew. miko put after the explosion. i ran and many other people also ran. i didn't see who was shooting. i ran out into the street and heard both gone far and the sound of an explosion. i should probably be with him. i'm not sure if my brother was killed by an american bullish or a fragment of an explosive device. the americans opened fir

mr. davis, our final representative is now on zoom. you are now recognized. >> thank you for calling this very important hearing and i certainly want to thank all of our witnesses especially those who came all of the way from texas. whether it was by plane or train or even if they had to walk, i think they would've been there just the same. i think them for taking their time and for coming. i called my heroes and mike she rose i call them that because i am reminded that doctor king would understand that injustice is a threat to justice everywhee and so even though we have been talking about texas, there are many places around the country where there are efforts to suppress, deny, delay, and take away the rights of people to vote and certainly not to enhance them which is what it seems like we really ought to be doing is trying to make it easier for people to participate in public decision-making. after republican past voter registration restrictions during the regular legislative session, governor emmett called a special session to try

good to have you on the programme with us, mr davis.— with us, mr davis. thanks for having me.trol of the country? i guess i would differfrom many people and think that is still very much up for debate as to whether thatis much up for debate as to whether that is going to happen. i don't think it's inevitable at all because some of the things he were sitting in the report you just mentioned there that the people of afghanistan commander they know they don't the us over their shoulder to back them up, are going to have to stand up on their own and they know now that their own and they know now that their life is on the line. if they don't make the changes that are necessary, either diplomatically or evenin necessary, either diplomatically or even in the security arena, i think you will see the oche people pulled together like they have not so far because now they have to. and so the televangelists not having a free line anything and they will have i think more casualties if they start moving into city warfare. he will not work out there with they think. but they are gaining grou

i want to follow up on something mr. davis touched on and mr. coach nelly was touching on regarding the voting rights act of 1965. that was an important piece of legislation. it fell within the lines of what the courts in the constitution and our founders intended, the qualification of electors. in other words, who can vote? that is something within the federal purview. we were very clear that the times, places and manner it was to be interpreted literally. that was reserved for the states. the voting rights act of 1965, as my colleagues have cited was about the electors who can vote. that is in the constitution, that is a federal issue. the rest is reserved to the states. something that mr. raskin brought up, the role social media has played in disinformation, maybe that could be some of the explanations why the current president of the united states spread false information about george's election law. i do think it is -- george's election law. i think i think it is imperative we follow election law, not just emotions. we've experienced what c

now i want to yield to the ranking member of the house administration, mr. davis. >> leader mccarthy spd be raking them on house administration committee in the last congress he told me to fix things around this capital. which is what i, as image and we introduce the capitol police advancement act during the last congress that would've increased transparency and accountability through semi annual reports and addressing many of the issues that have been propped up four years, and ig reports, gao studies, and other different forms of communication with congress. the democrats chose not to advance our legislation to help our officers. it's with great discipline it today that i don't get to question my friend harry dunn added okay to talk to them about what he and he rose like david bailey and other officers who saved the lives of stephen all of us on a baseball field a few years ago, we don't get to ask the questions that will lead to why there was not a better security posture here on the capitol complex. harry is a friend. harry and i hugged each other when we saw

be one of the tellers for receiving the electoral college votes, myself and the ranking member, mr. davisnd the rules committee, which is the equivalent committee of the senate. when there was an objection to the arizona electoral college vote, we broke as the constitution provides into our separate bodies. of course we were already in the house chambers. i had been working with the team of other house members to try and prepare. we had heard that there would be challenges that we thought were improper so we had worked, myself and others, to prepare our team for that discussion. and we really decided that the primary people to defend the votes of the states where the members of congress from that state. and so we had a lot of data and information that we were able to provide to state allegations that might be challenged. but i gave, i think i was the first to speak on the democratic side defending the constitution. and at the conclusion of my remarks, i needed to stay on the floor but a lot of the republican members were not wearing masks, and i wanted to stay as far away from their air a

davis: thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> thank you, mr. davis. what i would like to do is to give 30 seconds for any closing thoughts. miss collier, did you have something you could do with 30 seconds? >> >> you are too stupid to go down like any other person in america. but not you. that is how stupid and how big a failure the american is. >> mr. chairman, i don't know who that is coming from, but that is offensive. >> thank you. it was a call made to my government state office. >> ma'am, i can put those up also. i don't think it is appropriate -- [crosstalk] >> that is inappropriate, mr. chairman. >> you are recognized for your 30 seconds, mr. sessions. mr. sessions: i want to thank the witnesses that were here today. i would personally like to meet with them. i have no say in granting this out, but the difference between the truths on both sides and reality in the middle is that there was a lot on the side. that is very simple. texas jim crow laws took place by democrats until literally the year 2000. and it was a two party system that changed

>> with a black man coming to his house. >> mr. davis, that's my daughter gloria standing over there. >> how do you do, gloria? >> and her husband mike. >> hello, mike. >> no. >> i was tingling the whole time. >> one, two, three. >> sammy davis jr. kissed him on the cheek and he's sitting there going -- >> you're watching kind of a master class in reflecting humanity. >> it was revolutionary in a lot of ways. >> "all in the family" changed the way we think about society. >> that's the picture of sammy davis. look what he writes here. "to archie bunker. the whitest guy i know." >> archie bunker was jaw-dropping. and you realized norman lear is taking us into a whole new realm of comedy. >> that was my dad. my father used to tell my mother, jeanette, it's sunday, we're going out for chinks. dad, we're going to go out for a chinese meal. why do you have to say chinks? >> jim bowman our neighbor down the way, just sold his home to a family of coloreds. >> no! >> part of the joy of doing it was well, this hasn't been done before. >> oh, hi, n

mr. davis. >> it will open with the new york philharmonic playing two songs. it will be a rock segment with elvis costello. with patty smith, with bruce springsteen. with respect to rap, with respect to hip hop, you know, we'll have g, but then a rap segment. a real, quite novel rap section where ll cool j. will imitate some of the great new york iconic rap artists. >> it sounds like an amazing lineup. we'll see whether ll plays don't call it a comeback because it might fit this moment. that's just some of our conversation. for anyone near new york, this is this saturday in central park. the we love new york homecoming concert at the great lawn with tickets at ticketmaster. health screenings also occurring onsite. should be pretty interesting and you can always connect with me if you have questions or ideas about music. we were asking your favorite protest songs. i'm @arimelbourne. we are going to do an update on some of the best protest songs out there. which brings me to where we're headed. m

mr. davis. mr. davis: i thank mr. jordan. recently, another friend of ours and congressman owens testified before my committee and i want to highlight two very important points he made. not only is our country not facing a new era. our country has come a long way since the crime crow era and in part of the voting rights act of 1965. more americans voted in the last two elections than in any mid-term or presidential elections and this khraoudz minority vote i.r.s. we should celebrate this progress, not ignore it. using georgia as an example since my friends on the other side of the aisle were so quick to condemn new election laws in georgia which was covered upbt the v.r.a.'s formula african american-americans turned out 64% compared to 27% in 1965 and 95% of the total eligible voting age population in georgia is registered to vote. that's incredible. easier to vote in georgia and in new york and delaware. and even others. democrats on the committee on house administration held hearing after hea

let me recognize the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis to inquire. >> thank you, mr.n and madam secretary. i thought president biden and taken action to ensure that everyone has the ability to provide for their families. paid family and medical leave and the permanent modernization of the child tax credit, child and dependent care tax credit. in addition i raised the importance of three other refundable tax credits. one is a tax credit to renters who spent at least 30% of their growth income on rent and utilities. and admissible, refundable renters credit could help every eligible taxpayer afford houses. making the adoption tax credit refundable would help thousands of children join permanent, loving families. the apc disadvantages -- atc disadvantages lower income families. substantially expending the american opportunity tax credit will help millions of low and middle income families afford college. i went to work with you to ensure billionaires pay their fair share of taxes on the hundreds of millions of dollars in capital gains properties. madam secretary, could y

. >> thank you, recognize the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis, to inquire. >> thank you, mr. chairman and welcome, mr. secretary. i have serious concerns that social security and supplemental security income, benefits being paid to foster youth are not getting to them and are not even always being used for their benefit. so, mr. secretary, will you permit working with my subcommittee and with social security to find a remedy for this serious problem? >> i say it's great to see you and thank you for always championing the cause of so many kids who are underserved, underprivileged and here, i look forward to working with you. we, too, are trying to do a better examination and we want to review the work being done by gao on this particular issue and as you know, it's complicated because here we have to work with our state and local partners who actually administer some of these programs. you're right, we have to make sure that these kids get the kind ever care that you and i would expect to give to our kids and we want to make sure that those kids have some-- they have their voi
