as you know, the statehouse after the 2020 census will be tasked with re-drawing political districts throughout the state of texas. as you probably also know, that power has been used to disenfranchise black voters and latino voters for more than 100 years. texas until recently ranks 50th in the country in turnout democracy you see here in texas. if we get a democratic majority, we can begin to draw people back into their democracy, draw them back into a reason for voting it really have a fully functioning democracy. the second big opportunity is for texas for the time in 44 first years to award our electoral college votes to the democratic nominee for president. jimmy carter in was the last 1976 democratic nominee to be able to that. i strongly believe that if texas does this, the impact on american politics will be seismic. it will once and for all end the trump presidency and trumpism in america and allow us to start the next chapter. to the last part of your question, young people are going to be the vanguard of this. we saw in 2018, i came very close to beating ted cruz. i won m

are 14 states across the country that are critical for us, where if we don't win the statehouse racistwe are going to be locked out of power for at least the next decade. no one in washington draws their own map. what we have to make sure of is that we win the state legislative races so republicans have a chance to control congress for the next decade and pelosi tollow nancy shrink it downwards. >> the 2010, the last time redistricting was at stake for republicans, you do maps to ensure a republican congress for eight solid years. what is the difference between being a minority being in new jersey? >> when you look at the target states across the country, it is could swing seats congress by as much as 136 seats. that is the best case scenario 42-136.republican map, in some state you have a one-seat margin and in some you have a three-seat arjun. in north carolina -- three-seat margins. it all comes down to -- can republicans hold onto these chambers and make sure there is fair and accurate redistricting? if we get that, we have a shot of having power in washington for the next decade.

democratic farmer labor leaders who are not happy with the fact she doesn't want to stay in the statehouse of representatives, so she has to fund her own political campaign. and she does so. she wins election. her husband andy at this point, this was a strained marriage to begin with, he grows jealous of her political success. and so coya knutson in the house has a very successful career. she gets on the agriculture committee. it's a very promising career. one of the things she does because of her background as a teacher she wants to push for a federal student loan program. and she manages after the sputnik crisis to slip in a provision, an amendment to the national defense education act in 1958 that establishes federal student loans. so she knows the legislative ropes and really pushes her agenda. unfortunately she runs for election that year and democratic former labor operatives sabotage her campaign. they write a letter that they get her husband andy to sign. and the letter says that their marriage is suffering because she's far from home, and it intimates there might be some kind of u

he was actually the youngest legislator in the tennessee statehouse. he represented east tennessee.istrict was not particularly supportive of the 19th amendment. and the governor had called a special session for tennessee to consider the 19th amendment. so harry burn returned to nashville for that session. truth be told, on august 18th, 1920, the vote counters, suffragists, who were vote counters, really good vote counters, did not believe they had the votes to pass the amendment in the tennessee statehouse. they were shocked, when harry burn, who have been voting against them for all the other procedural votes, changed his vote unexplainably at that point in time, to an aye vote, which is really what pushed it over the top. what they didn't know is that he had received a letter from his mother that morning, delivered to him on the tennessee statehouse floor, that asked harry to vote for women's suffrage and to be a good boy and listen to mrs. catt, the leader of the suffrage movement there in nashville. harry burn decided to listen to his mother. he was, himself, supportive of woma

this plan to take back the statehouse.elected in both the house of the senate but also the state legislature. they really, i know you know this. a lot of local north carolina figures really planned this. if we win back the statehouse, we will control. we can also pass insight women rights, and tight labor, so tell us about how it's going and whether you still feel that you guys in 2018, from flipping to democratic. you still have the momentum that you had in 2018. guest: i agree with everything. and were talking about the general assembly north carolina. people know more about that they legislature because of some of the things that the republican leaders of the past ten years. all the state backwards. boys make good news for all of the wrong reasons. i look forward to the time when we make it is for all the right reasons. we've been part of lawsuits and one of the judges actually said it's almost with surgical precision which they tried to eliminate the power of people of color. i think especially black north carolina and

what we can't do is let that attitude spread beyond the city, beyond the statehouse, and go to the white house, mr. president. so we hear today -- we are here today for a reason, a reason that you understand. to support not only new york city police officers, but law enforcement across this country. and this is not new for you, mr. president. you do it always. the sign of a leader is someone that will stand at a podium like and and speak the truth will say what needs to be said and not be afraid to do it. we are seeing leaders in our state that are following the crowd, mr. mayor. mr. president, what they are doing is not only following marchers, they are following rioters. they are trying to catch up and do whatever they can to make sure they are happy. i often times wake up and say, who are they listening to? they are not listening to the folks in the neighborhoods that we patrol. they are not listening to the folks that say, we want police on our streets and we want to respect them. so today, mr. president, there's two things we like to do. would like towe present you with a statue tha

as you know, the statehouse after the 2020 census will be tasked with were re-drawing political districts throughout the state of texas. as you probably also know, that power has been used to disenfranchise lack voters and latino voters for more than 100 years -- black voters and latino voters for more than 100 years. texas always ranks 50th in the country in turnout because of gerrymandering, id laws, pulling closures, and all of the tactics that have been the hallmark of the kind of democracy you see in texas. if we get a democratic majority, we can begin to draw people back into their democracy and really have a fully functioning democracy. the second big opportunity is for texans for the first time in 44 years to award our electron -- electoral college votes to the democratic candidate for president. jimmy carter was the last president to do that. that they believe texan impact on american politics will be seismic. it will once and for all and he endmp presidency and -- the trump presidency and allow us to start the next chapter. youre last part of question, young people are going to

right now, everything is on the line in 2020, from the presidential race down to the statehouse.verything is on the line. there are dozens -- there are 14 states across the country that are critical for us, where if we races, we statehouse will be locked out of power in congress for at least the next decade. no one in washington draws their own map. what we have to make sure of is that we win the state legislative races so republicans have a chance to control congress for the next decade and we don't allow nancy pelosi to strengthen her grip on congress. the 2010 election the last , time redistricting was at stake for republicans, you do rew maps to ensure a republican congress for eight solid years. dive into the redistricting a little more. in some states, what is the difference between being a minority and majority? austin: when you look at the target states across the country, 42 legislative seats could swing congress by as much as 136 seats. that is the public estimates of the best case scenario for the map,lican map to democrat 42-136. in some state you have a one-seat marg

and walking in the statehouse, i was agitator son, i was walking into a statehouse where it's the same that put my family through so much trauma and i would bear to help change that, put a new phase on that and tear down the systems within, i don't know how successful i was at that but i tried my damnedest. there was that and then there was a sense of being young, everybody looked at me, i was 21, 22 years old, i was the youngest by a decade and so everybody is staring at you in the first time you open your mouth, they want to see what you're all about, it was a young dude, a young buckeye from denmark who was a son of the civil rights heroes. i don't think people really remember but when i was elected, every day i went outside and i was having a rough day and i took a deep breath and it would go in the office of the confederate flag as it flew probably in front of our state capital. >> to watch the rest of the program is our website booktv.org and search for sellers using the box at the top of the page. >> book tv on c-span2 has top nonfiction books and authors every weekend, tonight

the governor ordered flags on top of the statehouse to fly at half staff in his honor. chadwick roseman grew up in south carolina. those flags will be presented to his family when they are taken down. >>> the movie director, a native of oakland, wrote a very emotional tribute to chadwick. he says he did not know about the cancer diagnosis before he died. his tribute read, in part, because he was a caretaker, a leader, a man of faith, dignity and pride, he shielded his collaborators from the suffering he was going through. he lived a beautiful life. he made great art, day after day, year after year, that was who he was. he was an epic fireworks display. >>> there are two babies who are recovering this morning after undergoing groundbreaking heart operations. the surgery was performed on a two month old and a six month old. they were from a sacramento suburb. both babies were born with heart defects that required heart surgery to survive. the doctors made small incisions under their right arms instead of the traditional method of opening up their entire chests. >> you don

this all started with the passage of ab-5 in the california statehouse forcing companies like uber and lyft for that matter to go from using so-called gig workers to employees, all of the drivers must under law become employees. but there is a ballot measure in november that would overturn ab-5, and that's what uber wants to wait for. uber's saying we may have to just wait it out and while you're waiting it out with us, remember to cast your ballot to get us back. the fact that few people are using uber in the pandemic may actually work in the company's favor. it's not giving up huge amounts of money if it turns off our uber app. now we first learned about this proposed plan from the uber ceo to spoke about it on msnbc this morning. he says he understands suspending service will hurt both drivers and passengers. >> it would take away transportation from hundreds of thousands of californians. so it would be really, really unfortunate. obviously, we would look to comply with the law long term and we're hoping that the law gives us the best of both worlds. our labor laws are outdated. you

non-menacing as we go into the districts we need to win as well as to help with other races , governors, statehouses and the united states senate and, most of all, the electoral college to win the white house. our conversation with our members is we have to put one good day in front of another, no wasted time, no underutilized resources and no regrets the day after the election. >> there is a lot of frustration if you look at the big picture of what is happening in washington. many americans feel the system is broken. yould joe biden win, do think he should seek to work with republicans and revived the bipartisan senate or try to push through as much as possible by getting rid of the filibuster as some other democrats have voiced their support of? house speaker pelosi: one i was sworn in a speaker this year, we will govern in a way that has transparency, bipartisanship and is unifying for the country. i am a staunch democrat, being a democrat means you respect other people's point of view. i know that's where joe biden is. we have a responsibility to find our common ground. we know that but we have

but with shortcomings on the handling of this, from the white house to the statehouse in different states. i'm not sure anyone did it right, because we learned more about this. president trump will get the criticism, but i haven't heard anything out of the biden campaign that tells me they would have handled it more successfully. all we know is what has happened to date is a tragedy for the country. the president will answer to that next week. >> this was a digital convention, so it was almost like an episode of survivor. as we heard from senator cory booker and those who dropped out of the race, but reflecting on what it was like to be on the campaign trail with joe biden. your thought about that moment? >> it was fun to watch, they seemed to have a good time. talking about what it was like to be on the campaign trail with vice president biden. they all had stories, whether serving together in the senate or the campaign trail. compassion stories. biden us who have met joe have a story like that, because that's who joe biden is. another piece of the story of who this man is and how import

. >> this is the man and has escaped and at the statehouse and here is it today when i got to visit it. [inaudible] that is the table where polanski sat down to start writing his first thoughts about the camp as a free man and i could sit at the table. it was a moment where i really felt i caught up with my subjects and to share in that moment with the hospitality of my house but also to reflect on polanski's experience in the camp as he had done in the same spot. >> if you were to meet him now what would be the first question you would ask him? >> i think for those of you who read through the book through his escape when he returns to his family and he really struggled and after the war was subjected to the communist takeover which is what we are emphasizing from 1945 cents polanski was plunged into the new struggle and was brought home to me that polanski had never spoken to his wife and looking over his experience and to share it. one of the last things he wrote as a free man was also one of the most beautiful and talking about sitting with friends in the camp knowing they would be

when you use the word patriot and you don't mean somebody screaming at some essays at the statehouse, but you mean the guy who gets in his truck and goes off to work to support his family, that change the association of words and the change in our national narrative is what changes history. it's what i say to people speak up. say what you believe in. say what things matter because that's what is going to change history and change the moment we are in that makes you feel good about being an american not feeling like a means hating and killing and destroying and dominating but rather building up and working together and creating a society where everybody has equality of opportunity. so is there another narrative? there's not been really since fdr and and i would argue his s important but is not one for today because it was really male centered and really kind of racist and sexist. but we have the space to build our own new narrative, and this is to be the great excitement of this moment. we are in in a crisis that we t to decide what comes next. we get to put our feet on the floor in th

i had legislation in the statehouse to support data centers which provide the ecosystem so we could alle online all of the time that we are now, and that has worked spectacularly through the entire pandemic, and then i do work with google. i was an advocate when i was in conference of these tech companies both small and large, because i saw how they improved our daily lives, particularly when congress focused on health care. they had a hearing on how we can use apps and technology to be able to map our diseases. kids with diabetes can get tools to track on their smartphone what their blood sugar is like, and their parents can monitor it at the same time, so they can be in school. what modern technology has done in the health care field, it has advanced in telehealth over the last few months by removing a lot of the regulations that existed before. i do not think we will go back to that regulation, because we have had years to advance in just a few months because we have removed some of the things that were holding it back. so i think we have to go to the entrepreneurs, find out what are

i do not understand why frontans have not gone in of their statehouse and the white house and said, this is ridiculous. think about how bad the response has been, in proportion to people's expectations. there is a certain amount of countryeant that this could still be struggling with something like testing. bafflementt like the leads to paralysis. just notmericans are used to thinking of themselves, of their country as being quite this inept. painfulit is a realization. from the accent, i am not from these parts. jeffrey: jerzy, please. mr. yong: my friends -- please. mr. yong: the extreme gap between expectation and reality has almost led to these -- this emotional shutdown. who are most deeply invested in it and have the clearest picture of what is going wrong are also the most burned out. expertshat the pandemic are doing really badly. the people who have been warning since march that this will be really bad, they have been working since mid-march and they are emotionally devastated. they are fried. they are exhausted. they are getting hate mail, do not havehey just the energy. is peo

issued no such threats when right wingers were brandishing assault weapons and no face masks in the statehouses this past spring. my next guest clashed with the top justice officials earlier this week over this very same hypocrisy. joining me now, congresswoman democrat from washington state. let me go right to that, you really got into it with the attorney general william barr. and for our audience who might have missed it, i want to play this exchange you had with attorney general barr about who gets to protest and how. >> about there is a real discrepancy in how you react as the attorney general, the top cop in this country, when white men with swastikas swarm a government building with guns, there is no need for the president for, quote, activate you because they are getting the president's personaled ed agend done. but when black people protest and the president's very own lack of response to those critical issue, then you forcibly remove them with armed federal officers, pepper xwbomb but they are considered terrorists by the president. >> i don't even need to expound about it. because it

the governor ordered flags on the statehouse to fly at half staff. star was born in anderson, south carolina. the flags will be presented to his family after they are taken down. he died on friday after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. he was just 43 years old. >>> the black panther director wrote an emotional tribute to chadwick bozeman. he said he did not know of the diagnosis prior to the death. the tribute read in part, because he was a caretaker, a leader and a man of faith, dignity and pride. he shielded his collaborators from suffering. he lived a beautiful life and he made great art, day after day, year after year. that was who he was. he was an epic firework display. >>> what is the value of this tree? it is 1800 years old. it is priceless. >>> a wildfire threatening redwood trees. the work underway to protect the hundreds of trees. >>> a warm up is on the way. we have the forecast for the work week ahead, coming up after the break. experience the ultimate sports hub. where you can find games, news and highlights. all in one pla

they pass, with the bipartisan efforts that they really bring to the senate and congress and their statehouses are actually far better politicians. yet we still have to have this sort of women are amazing sort of add that if you imagine the same ad being told about men, right, some sort of real involvement of the men who are politicians and so it's really actually fascinating, and i think for a lot of women who are watching just seeing this moment in history that we're in where there is so much progress. but to your point we have a president that is, you know, symbolic of so much regression. >> i have just a little bit under a minute left, but, jill, you were nodding? >> well, absolutely. i have said for a long time it's time to make government coed. we can't be a boys club, and when you look at rooms where issues that affect women are being discussed, and as they are say in the texas house overwhelmingly a room of men, i think it's very important that we make government coed. and so it was exciting tonight to see that tonight and see that at the top of the ticket, that we have a coed ticket.

you can't make a fund-raising call from the statehouse in annapolis without potentially getting in trouble and they just had the last night of the rnc in our house, our house as american citizens, as taxpayers. i watched a criminal act from a criminal president who has no interest in democracy, and he made that abundantly clear in his speech tonight. the only thing that i am remotely comforted by by seeing this cavalcade of nonsense for 2 1/2 hours is that the ratings are terrible and nobody likes him and most people weren't watching. and my hope is that while americans have already decided how they're going to vote in this election, even the clips they see from this evening are a reminder of the grotesque incompetence, racism and corruption that has infected our white house and why we don't want and cannot believe the possibility of four more years of this. >> claire, pick right up there. the -- the political cartoonists when donald trump was first elected gave everybody a good laugh with various depictions of the white house with the trump name on the front. well, tonight, during the wid

hopefully will take organized and become the fighter for organizing and become the discussion in the statehouse around the country and hopefully that will do it. one quick thing, i saw a, about white people are not as favor of this as they are in favor of jury duty and i will say quickly i think this has yet to be discussed in the same way. i think what we need to do is get this out as a public debate and we have an opportunity to shift that public opinion. >> one thing i wanted to say and i wanted to ask a question that came up to cornell, the one thing i want to say, this seems like a radical departure and one of the reasons our report includes a significant sanction on the experience of other countries particularly australia which is been a democracy for a long time that is how the system very much along the lines, we suggest for almost 100 years, it is worked extremely well, produces very high turnouts, does not penalize very very many people. and we got the secret ballot that was once a radical idea, we happened to get the idea from australia too, was known as the australian ballot, the id

taxes on white people and even today you hear people screaming constantly on the massachusetts statehouse two days ago somebody saying that the whole idea of closing down the societies because they want to turn into the socialist states of america. what they are saying is that any legislation that helps achieve quality of opportunity across the societies they redistribution of wealth because it's going to take tax dollars is nothing to do with 20th century socialism and producti production. it's just right here from this era of reconstruction and comes right out of the civil war. and i keep saying i have for various articles about when reconstruction ended that you could make a good case for the fact reconstruction still hasn't ended because they are having the exact same conversation today that they had in the 1870s. >> host: so a civil war by definition shuffles the relationship between government and the people you are describing an ongoing battle for who that is, who's included in this excluded and those are obviously highly significant questions. after some time they are more pressin

they don't want little tyrants like bill de blasio or folks in their statehouse telling them what toharles: it is not just new york city, right, taking these dramatic measures. los angeles threatening to cut off power to people who throw parties amid the pandemic. we've been without power for two days. it ain't a good thing to threaten people without power. just how far is too far, emma? >> it is already gone far too far but this is just showing how far they are willing to take this thing. americans hear the message. they understand about getting involved again in local and state elections. people will not roll over to take this anymore. i think we're reaching a tipping point. even non-political, non-conservative americans are starting to wake up and realize these bureaucrats don't have their best interests in mind. i'm calling right now, charles, we'll see more involvement in local and state elections this fall than we have in a long time. don't take it from me. take it from 1000 students with young americans for liberty that will be deploring to talk a million doors in the upcoming

like the way you handled covid policies and encouraged people who have shown up inside of your statehouse with guns, because they're mad at mask orders. you know, talk a little bit about the stakes of the election, because if your mind, how might things have been different in terms of the pandemic, and as it's played out in your state if you didn't have a president attacking you personally because you wanted to have a mask order? >> well, i mean, i think for our whole nation, we would have saved so many thousands of lives. in michigan, we have saved thousands of lives by getting aggressive, following the science, obtaining ppe where we could in the face of a federal government that didn't have a national strategy, that didn't use the gpa for these items like swabs and n95 masks. if the white house would have done something similar, we would be a leader on the globe, instead of a laggard. donald trump is not responsible for the coronavirus, but he's responsible for america's response. as the most powerful country in the world, to be one of the laggards and have such a huge death count and
