in allentown, pennsylvania. thank you for being with us on c-span. >> earlier today, the senate judiciary committee met to consider authorizing subpoenas for those involved in the fbi investigation into possible ties between the trump campaign and russian officials. you can see that hearing tonight starting at 8:00 eastern on c-span. having lived through a loss of confidence in our institutions, a wave of cynicism that has left us unable to trust what we are told by anyone who calls themselves an expert, it becomes difficult for us to rise to a challenge like this. our first reaction is to say, no, they are lying to us, they are only in it for themselves. a lot of our national institutions have to take on the challenge of persuading people again that they exist for us, they are here for the country. >> sunday at noon eastern on in depth, a live conversation with american enterprise scholar. his most recent book is "a time to build." join the conversation with your phone calls, tweets, texts and

laura: pennsylvania is going to be a very close state again. all eyes on pennsylvania. it was pretty unusual change. democrats had done well. it was a swing state. he was able to flip some democratic areas that had previously supported obama. these were pretty pivotal changes. since then we have seen trends accelerating. there are some areas in the southeastern part of the state moving towards democrat, including local elections. democrats pick up some local races there. it was a boost to democratic motivations. -- delegations. it is interesting on the ground right now. >> pennsylvania joining michigan and wisconsin as so-called blue wall, for democrats. looking at 2020 with joe biden, who is from scranton, how did that play in your part of the state? laura: one unusual thing with not having rallies coming through the state, we would have been hearing a lot more from joe biden about scranton. one of the ways he has been looked at is the blue-collar, white working-class voters who have been turned off by the democratic party. we will see whether that is the key, whether

having obtained both the pennsylvania license and a u.s.d.a.commercial breeders license from 2003 onward pennsylvania inspection reports clearly indicate dogs were suffering in a facility that was not meeting even minimal welfare standards after a further string of her round us inspection reports in 2008 david stills foose voluntarily relinquish both his pennsylvania and u.s.d.a. license but the dogs remained at. same puppy mill though the name was changed to millwood puppies and ownership passed to david's son matthew stills foose matthew quickly obtained a u.s.d.a. commercial breeders license at the same address. immediately the violations continued under the new license when millwood puppies was inspected in october 2009 the violations were so severe that the commonwealth of pennsylvania brought multiple charges against matthew for violations under the dog law. before pennsylvania district judge isaac stalls foose all charges against matthew were summarily withdrawn and all cases closed in 2010 at no time with the dogs removed from the facil

how is this going to unfold in a key state like pennsylvania? many people believe whoever wins and so then you wins the election. the downward ticket as well, even congressional candidates [indiscernible] we did see joe biden in philadelphia this morning. [indiscernible] many people are keyed into the political happenings. [indiscernible] we will see if there are some wares they will check in with voters on the ground. the philadelphia media market can be expensive, and it can be harder to get some airtime there. they will have to get creative. host: and speaking of uncharted territory, you spoke about this moments ago, the mail-in ballot that we are seeing in pennsylvania. well we see that in the fall? does it have resistance from republicans? laura: [indiscernible] -- the state yesterday, but there were 17 times as many mail-in ballots as were requested in the 2016 election. the mail-in ballot was a state law that was passed last fall, was not in response to the coronavirus. they made that change -- there needs to be additional changes. republ

, was the sense of two pennsylvanias. and none of us, white or black, can afford to live where we think it's ok for someone to be denied the adequate resources when it comes to education or health care. or housing. or the things that we need to live full and good lives. so i think what we saw in the protests was that. that's what i saw. that's what i saw in philadelphia and what i saw yesterday in harrisburg. so this is about what we need to do to rededicate ourselves, trying to live up to the noble ideals of this -- noble ideals this nation was funned on. we continue to do that. i want to continue to do that. i think that's really important. that, you know, we are here to pass laws. we are here to do things to address specific issues. but we're also stewards of a grand democratic tradition. here we have a chance to make our democracy better. for everybody. >> of the recommendations you've outlined today and the potential executive actions and so forth, i'm curious if there's any of them that you feel are likely to have t

how is it in pennsylvania. whom say whoever wins pennsylvania, wins the election. >> and the downward ticket as well because not om it has the state and local, even congressional candidates flocks to the valley to drive excitement. and so joe biden was in philadelphia this morning, almost shocking almost because you haven't in anything from folks down the ballot have been able to stick to campaigning, or by social media. we saw the vice-president did a couple of zoom events, but the people who are going to stream into ones are those pretty keyed in on. it's going to be different. we're also voting for delegates today. we'll be headed. and we'll see if there's some way that we're able to check with voters on the ballot. in philadelphia media market, which is pretty excessive and it can be hard to get some air time there so,-- >> and speaking of uncharted territory, you talked about this a moment ago. the mail-in ballots we're seeing in pennsylvania. will we see that in the fall? will there be any resistance from

and preach the theme of unity in pennsylvania. but i acknowledge that as a leader, i need to provide a reason for people to actually want to de-escalate. i need to show that i am listening. all of us here in harrisburg need to show the people are being heard. so today, i'm taking steps to address concerns about long-standing violence and oppression against pennsylvanians of color. gov. tom wolf: first, i am directing the state police and all of their trained academies of law enforcement to review their training curriculum. this will include a thorough review and revision of use of force training. you will also standardize developing testing and best practices for verbal, de-escalation techniques. trauma center approaches, until health and for state and implicit bias training. this is based on recommendations from the 21st century report on policing. it was granted under the guidance of president barack obama. and cochaired by commissioner, former commissioner of police in philadelphia. this effort will commence immediately. second

also in pittsburgh, in erie, and in scranton, pennsylvania. so how did the george floyd demonstrations play into this campaign, and oh, by the way, still dealing with coronavirus. >> yeah, it's the latest layer that adds some complications to a very unusual election. i should back up quickly and say this election got pushed back five weeks from when it was supposed to be held due to the coronavirus. county officials said they weren't ready to hold a safe and accurate election, they needed more time. it was also an unusual election because it's the first time that any pennsylvania voter can cast a ballot in the mail. so between the coronavirus and new voting rules across the entire state, with a pretty dramatic change, and now in the last two days, we see demonstrations that are in very voter heavy parts of the state. so far, the state has not had to make changes to help make sure the voting goes smoothly due to the demonstrations, except for one change in six counties where the ballots can be counted for additional days. but the mail-in ballot

for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania rise? >> as the member designated by ms. lofgren, pursuant to house resolution 965, i inform the house that ms. lofgren will vote nee on the motion to recommit on h.r. 5332. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania rise? >> madam speaker, as the member designated by ms. slaughter, pursuant to house resolution 965, i inform the house that -- as the member designated by mr. lofton, pursuant to house resolution 965, i inform the house that i inform the house that mr. lofton votes nee. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> madam speaker, as the member grace ted by congressmen napolitano, pursuant to house resolution 965, i inform the congressmen napolitano will vote nee on the otion to recommit h.r. 5332. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> as the member designated by mr. vargas, pursuant to house resolution 965, i inform the house that mr. vargas will vote nee on motion to recommit on

they never expected to find themselves all the way down here in pennsylvania. colonel glover and his marble head regiment saved washington and his army three times. the first time after the disasters of the battle -- glover and his men wrote 9000 men, courses, cannon baggage across the lower east river from brooklyn into what is modern-day into lower manhattan and saved washington's army from being encircled by the british. again, when wallace was planning to -- he sailed up the east river out to the long island, he was planning to march -- they trapped washington in manhattan. glover once again with 700 men, held up 4000 british troops. he took about 22,000 -- the british took about between 700 and -- that gave washington time to escape for manhattan and to fight another day. we fast forward to the section of pennsylvania and around the 22nd of december. glover marches into this area and he camps up the hill near where washington's headquarters were. washington calls him to his headquarters and he tells him what he wants to do. cross 800 feet of iraqi i strewn

of course, pennsylvania doesn't have time. the british are coming and the banishment of henry drinker to virginia is a desperate measure taken at a desperate time and this brings us to the occupation and why the occupation is so important. under normal circumstances, it can be very hard to find the disaffected in history. people who don't want to be involved often don't want to be found. it is in their interest it take the heads down and take the path of least resistance and they do whatever they need to do so the patriots will leave them alone and let them live with their families and let them live their lives. people who don't care taht much about independence and maybe think it is a bad idea will go along with the revolutionary flow, as long as doing so is the path of least resistance. they don't want to draw attention to themselves. they believe in the cause and someone who joins the militia because they don't want to be fined. how do you tell the difference between someone who joins the boycott because they believe in the

what is the outlook for pennsylvania, vice president biden will win pennsylvania if, what? >> i think he will win pennsylvania, and believe he will. i think he will win it if he can combine that coalition has been successful lately, making sure that urban and suburban turnout is very high because in both instances he will get an overwhelming vote their, but what we cannot do though is allow ourselves to take our eye off the ball with regard to the small towns in the rural areas. doesn't mean you will win them but you have got to get a certain number from those communities, and that's where 2016 didn't work out very well. and i'm still frustrated by that. i want to make sure it doesn't happen again. the good news is i think winter pretty good temperament 2010 when i was running and governor wilk was running. we are going to get higher numbers in his canaries in addition to suburban and urban but i think joe biden is for a strong in the state for lots of reasons, some good because he's a native son of scranton and as good roots in the state over all but i think his decency, h

so what do we find when the british invade pennsylvania? we find that the revolution is on the verge of falling apart. let's talk about the militia. when the british first invade congress tells the state to give washington 4,000 militiamen to defend the capital. 4,000 militiamen and the state of pennsylvania dutifully begins calling them up. now the response rate up to this point has been about 50%, about half of those who they called to duty actually show up or hire a substitute. it's not great, about ybut you by with 50%, but once the british invasion begins that response rate drops to 15%, the lowest rate of the entire war and one in four of those who do turn out to serve will desert before the term is over. they will go back home. so rather than fielding 4,000 militia men, pennsylvania is able to deploy 2,000 militiamen in september. by mid-october, pennsylvania is down to 1200 militia men. by january 1778 the number's about 450. on february 15, 1778 the main force consists of 60 men, in a tavern 17 miles away from the nearest british d

the guy is a fraud. >> host:li that is done in pennsylvania. jim, north dakota, you are next. >> caller: hey, , john. can you hear me? >> host: yes. go ahead. >> caller: first of all, the nascar thing. it's funny when the left always so things against the wall to see what sticks. and then something turns out to be a fraud, forget about it. going to the next thing. that's what makes me angry about the bubblegum wallace, so-called black guy which is in a black dude. find a noose in his garage. governor confiding to action, you know and finds that of course know some guys working on the garage opener. a little loop around the garage door to lift the door. they decide for two days -- [inaudible] you become a star by becoming a victim. [inaudible] talking about george floyd. black livestock matter. black lives matter come one guy dies and you burn and the city's. nobody knew him. for one george floyd you can find probably 100 white people who have been victims of black-and-white crime. >> host: what steps do you .2 for that transit what's that? >> h

we want to see a great american recovery. >> i am from pennsylvania. my family resides in montgomery county so i'm silly with what is going on outside philadelphia. it has been frustrating for people because pennsylvania has been one of the last for different openings, hair salons haven't opened, philadelphia and surrounding counties haven't moved into the green phase yet, that is happening later this week but if you're among many in pennsylvania or parts of pennsylvania is we are just getting into the green phase and you are seeing spikes in some areas across the state as things are starting to reopen. i they going to have to backtrack? what do you think? >> it is time to recognize there are two components to covid-19, the health aspect and we've done the appropriate mitigation, also the economic impact. pennsylvanians in your home county and america wants to get back to work, we are willing to face what we have done, continue social distancing, we are willing to do what we need to do to get back to work. >> pennsylvania close to the new york -- new j

next is another lancaster, pennsylvania, call.favorite son is interesting people tonight. this is chris on the line. go ahead, please. >> caller: yes, during the time that harriet lane was in the house at wheatland, can you tell us how many people were in the house? how many family members as well as how many staff were in the white hou house at wheatland. >> i don't know. >> do you know? >> they had miss millie, who was the housekeeper. >> that was miss hettie, the housekeeper. >> and i know they had a steward, because when they first went to the white house, miss hettie wanted to take control and harriet didn't want that so hettie had to go back to wheatland and they brought over a steward from there. so they had at least two ib5xst. >> they did have some staff there. i don't know how many of their family members actually lived there. i know he had a couple of nephews that he had at the white house serving as hi secretary and aides. so that was very common among the early presidents to bring in relatives. >> and just to undersco

joe d'ambrosio has been cutting hair and bethlehem pennsylvania for 47 years barber shops are closed now due to the coronavirus pandemic and joe thinks that's prudent given his age he's got enough savings to ride it out a bit longer course of one week i lost 2 of my best and oldest friends you see so it's real real to me he's seen a lot of change in bethlehem over the last 4 years the local steel plant that once employed 35000 people is still mostly empty but many of its former union workers lean republican instead of democrat they lined the streets to greet president trump recently when he visited a local manufacturing plant a rare trip out of the nation's capital when much of the country was still on lockdown pennsylvania is one of 4 states that president trump won by less than a percent in 2016 older blue collar workers like the ones that used to work here in the steel industry were crucial to his victory and they could make a difference again in 2020 national polls show that among senior citizens like these former steelworkers joe biden is more popular than trump i hear more and

those military vehicles have moved on to pennsylvania avenue, the pedestrian part of pennsylvania avenue just outside the white house. those vehicles are filled with what appear to be national guard troops. we have footage of this. as soon as we can rewra wrac-ra we'll show it to you. wolf, in the seven years i've been at the white house, i've never seen that kind of military presence at the white house. it was about eight or nine large military style vehicles rolling through the white house complex just a few moments ago on the pedestrian part of pennsylvania avenue, that separates the north lawn from lafayette park where those national guard troops presumably are staging right now. as for what the president is doing, we've been told that they're making some kind of preparations in the rose garden for a possible address from the president. that has not been confirmed by the white house yet. but there may be some preliminary preparations under way right now. we know it's been some debate going on here at the white house as to whether or not the president would do that. but getting back t

do you have something again mercersburg, pennsylvania?>> he was mercersburg. >> and chose lancaster for his law practice? >> he chose it to be his adult home. >> now, is it true that as he was setting his stage for this many runs for the presidency that he would use that place as an entertaining spot for members of congress as they would come by? >> sure. it was a lovely home. >> so on their way to washington, they'd be invited to wheatland? >> and he invited people to come to wheatland and it was a nice piece of property, sure. >> lancaster was... >> they were very social. >> lancaster, pennsylvania, is the site of our next call whose name is linda (ph). and linda (ph), you're on.linda (ph): hi. thank you very much. i appreciate it. i just wanted to ask if you could elaborate on harriet lane's wedding. where that took place and any interesting details that might have been as a result of that? ok. thank you so much. harriet lane did not get married until long after the white house. >> he got married about six or seven years after he left

his pennsylvania roots is certainly a working-class field to him. but it's more in line to take that fight to chomp in a way different than secretary clinton. but you raise a good. i would expect president trump to smash biden over the head with trade into it repeatedly and that would accrue to his benefit if the other stuff that clearly doesn't accrue to his benefit which is this week, the attacks and stepping a little too far that's really the balance. the president might have a winning argument with biden on trade in a state like michigan all things being equal. but all things are not equal. the president is largely seen as the divider. his job approval numbers in michigan and elsewhere are not good. women do not like the president. at this.he is running at a deficit with women. i think it was this latest poll was something like 60% of women are leaning biden at this moment. it goes up to independent women help decide the selections. that number is in the 70. trade is an incredibly important issue in a state like michigan and will be in this elec

they were from my part of pennsylvania. my coal region roots. there's a great letter collection that's been published. i'm trying to remember -- the soldier's last name was pollock. the book was put together by a friend of mine, a ranger at gettysburg, fantastic historian. and in that letter collection, as the 48th pennsylvania was sitting in camp by fredericksburg in december of 1862 just prior to the battle, they received a shipment from home, and included in that shipment was scrapple. and the soldiers just devoured it. and he even notes, you might have thought us monsters for devouring this scrapple. but they loved it. sure, other soldiers probably ate it, too. kyle: just imagining the orcs from lord of the rings when they eat that guy and pieces are flying everywhere. jake: another reason for you guys to hate me, i have never seen or read lord of the rings. kyle: really? that seems like a deliberate choice, like you are taking pride in avoiding something because it's popular. jake: wow, i feel like you called me out.

i should actually be having my pennsylvania flag behind me. kyle: what is the pennsylvania flag? i'm not familiar with it. jake: it looks like 30 other state flags. kyle: blue with the state seal? jake: exactly. kyle: boring, ok. jake: it is boring. love the new mexico flight. that is by far the -- flag. that is by far the big 1 -- best one. the: all the marylanders in -- i love the mexican -- i love the new mexico flight. jake: marylanders love that flight. kyle: it is a good flag. jake: pennsylvania, i'm just. kyle: right. so, scrapple. jake: get a spec contract. that was chris -- get us back on track. and that was chris who asked. there was a unit in philadelphia thatdr. m -- dug the mine exploded at petersburg. kyle: they dug the tunnel? jake: yeah. they were from my part of pennsylvania. there's a great letter collection that's been published. i'm trying to remember -- the soldier's last name was pollock. in the book was put together by a friend of mine, the ranger at gettysburg, fantastic historian. and in that letter connection -- letter collection, as the 48th pennsylvani

the durham boats are a type of boats used during the crossing to get men from pennsylvania to edge in in this. what's special about the boats is that they are large and they were originally made to haul a pickiron up and down the delawa delaware. they were ideal for putting a lot of guys in and getting them from point a to point b. they were not the only boats used, but they are the types of boats during the re-enactment washington ordered them all to pennsylvania, and slow down any crossing that the british might do so they were use, and in particular a ferry was used. so that you can get artillery across and horses across. obviously you will not be able to get any of them into a boat.

the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. toomey: so i want to take a quick moment to thank both my colleague from missouri and my colleague from maryland for their leadership on this extremely important issue. in the interest of time, i will not reiterate the many very, very compelling reasons that we're here on the floor right now. the senator from missouri has done an outstanding job eloquently and passionately explaining why it is our responsibility to stand up for the freedom of a freedom-loving people whose freedom is seriously eroded, systematically being damaged and that is, of course, the people of hong kong. i had the great experience of living in hong kong for a year, learning so much about that society, that culture, the vibrancy of hong kong. it's just absolutely stunning, and it's all possible. it's all possible, let's be clear, because freedom has prevailed in hong kong, or at least it used it, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to practice their faith as they see fit, an independent judiciary and

there's a low low number of opportunities here in western pennsylvania as well as so not only did our industries move but a lot of our people moved as well which forced even more businesses to move basic strangely difficult to run a business in a place like home well just because one there's not a a lot of people there and then too the people there don't have the necessary means to take advantage of extra things and one of the unique businesses that has been able to been a steadfast place to look to and home with i think they're you know at least 50 years old and mr a mr bundy has been there you know making. making those done for for kids to make sure that they have food before they were to school for for generations upon generations so even in those situations where if mom and dad couldn't take care of kids knew that they could go to the bakery and grab a donut or grab something to make sure that they had so food in order to get through today so. i don't know how they did it but they found a way to to be a constant presence in that neighborhood despite what has gone. oh and they were

told me they have and would see miles up this way to those prices neighborhoods of pennsylvania more grimoires because you find a. lower merion area a great school district if you go to blocks that way the 2nd in one case where just a couple days ago a guy got to get the gas station got shot 16 times because these you go up here to know marion after school programs computer. the football team stuff look like the n.f.l. right. they got all you got everything you got to go show for it try to play sports and even if you do you know it's so expensive you got a single mother she barely could feed these kids now it's almost it's $300.00 on a football she might say me playing for but each of them on a 2 mile difference a 2 mile difference to a young person is $1314129.00. miles that's 2000000 miles of a difference because because if you look at these homes right here look at these look like the they look a bit and it is right to live in a look at the way that i look at being this some might the 2nd floor light is let me somebody live in it right the 1st floor of mine i don't need regulated

and the state of pennsylvania is calling them up. now the response rate up to this point has been about 50%, about half of those they called to duty actually show up or hire a substitute. you can get by with 50%. but once the british invasion begins. that response rate drops to 15%. the lowest rate of the entire war. and those who turned out to serve will desert before the term is over. they will go back home. so rather than 4000 militiamen pennsylvania is able to deploy about 2000 militiamen in september. by mid october pennsylvania is now down to 1200 militiamen. by january, 1778 the numbers are about 450. on february 15th, 1778. the main force of the militia consists of 60 men fit for duty. 17 miles away from the closest -- the militia are not the only people. if we look at the washington papers of valley forge. along there are accounts of hunger experienced by the continental army. you will find report after report of request for flour and produce and livestock flowing from the countryside. passed valley forge into the occupied c

biden up by ten in this pennsylvania poll.hree tenths of a point trump won the state by in 2016. first republican since '88 there. now, look at that, an 11-point deficit. trump sitting at just 36% in michigan. wisconsin, narrow in '16 for trump, now big for biden in this poll. 11 points. those, of course, the three battlegrounds we talk about most. the three surprise switches in 2016. how about florida? trump won this by two points in '16. here's the polling. biden up six in florida. biden doing better, for instance, among senior citizens now, than hillary clinton did four years ago. arizona, trump won this by three in 2016. democrats have been bullish on this. their poll tells them they're smart to be. seven points advantage for biden. and north carolina, trump won this with a pad in 2016 by four points. now the polling shows biden ahead by nine here in north carolina. and just we can illustrate, we'll use this a lot this year. the electoral map. this is what it looked like in the trump victory. if you plug these results into
