so you can't see it from the statehouse grounds. but i think the idea was for legislators to walk past it, and that was so the library stepped up, put it as far to the edge as possible in the statehouse. so pushing it to the barricades section seems it it may have been a tiny step towards healing. one of the people that unveiled the marker was jamie renee coleman. she's one of the last people sterilized in indiana when she was just 15 and she was without her knowledge under the guise of having her appendix removed. according to her story and the other person that the marker was the indian health who offered a formal apology, formal apology, hoosiers who were forcibly sterilized. okay, one last question for everybody before we open up to just the discussion and to our attendees, attendees started thinking about some questions and dropped them into the chat. due to the q&a. so it doesn't get lost in the chat. or you can just put it in the chat room. so. all right last question. so we've talked about a wide variety of topics to around

. >> there is so much potential for good to be done in our statehouses and on capitol hill because wed ones, one of those who's fighting evil. arkansas senator jason rapert, who has done an amazing job advocating for pre-born life. while he was senator, he introduced the strongest pro-life legislation ever passed in the statehouse. >> good to see you. >> good to see you. >> i think a lot's happened, but we still have a lot of work to do. >> that's right. >> it was god's divine will that roe be overturned. but i also believe it is god's will that abortion be abolished in this nation completely. >> we need more jasons in statehouses across the country because now that roe is reversed, we all know the fight goes to the states. this is where rubber meets the road. in order to seek the greatest amount of good right now in this post-roe america, we need to pass as many state laws as possible. >> when america abolishes abortion -- >> mm-hmm. >> -- it will be as fundamental and changing to the soul of this nation as the abolishment of slavery was in the 1800s. as we both know, we've got some

markers so there is a historical marker that marks the 1907 legislation and is in front of the statehouse and you can't just create something and put it in the ground. it's a detailed process but can you talk about the historical marker program? >> so in 2007 as part of the centennial of the 1970s and an attempt by a few different organizations to ogrecognize those impacted, marker was installed so the marker is completely publicly driven. we're not a state agency. we don't go into communities and tell them what's important about their history . anyone can apply u. so there's research and we work with the applicant to get the text right. we like to say that it's like two tweets and different texts. but we tried to get a lot in there so in our case applicants with doctor william schneider who is both a professor emeritus of history prand professor of medical humanities and health studies. he led the application for this marker as well as the symposium of scholars. like what we're doing today. there was also an exhibit at the state library around this . there was an issue of the indiana mag

from the statehouse to the schoolhouse, this is the latest sign of politics making its way into our classrooms. this time is a small alameda county school board at the center of a flap over flags. right now, parents and community groups are meeting and on the table is a proposal to ban flags on campus except for the american and state flags. so it is a topic that has gotten wider attention with people outside of the community joining the protest. opponents of the band say that it is all in response to a pride flag being flown on school grounds. just a few minutes ago that school board meeting got underway here and one of the last items on the agenda tonight is a proposal to ban all special interest flags. it is dividing the small community with people on both sides worried about the president that could set. >> this school is our community. >> reporter: it is the first community you past driving into sunil on main street. >> we have the repertory theater that performs in this school. we have girl scouts, boy scouts, 4-h. every specific activity goes through the school. >> reporter: that is why

states and we also see that states are acting to protect data with several bills introduced in statehouses. i think there is bipartisan support on this issue and we are helpful we see congress getting closer every year to making progress on this issue. >> i want to also invite our audience to send in questions. we look forward to getting a lot of those and having some time after the next question for our audience questions. please send those in. in your paper, you have written a lot about the links between the u.s.-eu system. these are the initiatives do use of talked about. how do you perceive those models of governance working together? as i said at the outset, we have more and more data going everywhere around the world and we don't necessarily conflicting modes of governance. what do you think are the opportunities, if you focus on a couple of priorities and what are the challenges that we will face in creating any kind of arrangement? >> the situation is ripe for multilateral work. in those meetings about governance around the world, we are at a great level of frustration being expres

i had one of those it goes to the statehouse. am from selma and sell that some of the poorest it capitol american spite all this cultural history. and my question is let me say this but i left the seven on the importance of black history. most of us here have some privileges of our brothers and sisters don't have it. the one place our children can learn about to get that financial literacy. thank you maxine for all you do black history two minutes with digital digital online you've got to get your kids on my kids are on them. to teach them the power of the map the power of investing not think about investing is only one for pets of multiple forms of asset management. using the digital infrastructure. but again you don't have broadband in your community we have done for townhouse in alabama. with that fun to ensure our hbcus and the community get access to broadband in those communities. that's part of the work that has to continue to be done. i think we now 14 more of these to do. we have done nine so far we have 14 more to do to

it would be great if we had a 50-year-old male or female governor run, it is a long way from the statehouse to the white house as we have seen over and over. paul: another to filament was interesting. bernie sanders and some people on the left are going out in public and saying president biden, you risk losing unless you move left in the next year or so to mobilize progressive voters on your behalf. you should do things like declare a climate emergency and other things they want. is that a good argument? >> i don't think it's a good political arguments. it's a bad political argument but it is one president biden has to heed because if the left wing of the party led by bernie sanders, aoc, the squad turns on president biden his chances of getting reelected get reduced substantially. it is fair to say and assume that biden will have to track left as he is done with student loans, with overtime pay, noncompetes. i think biden is doing the best he can to placate the left and will continue to do that. paul: still ahead, a federal judge says there should be out tuesday trial date for donald trump

through but also the library does the library does but i think the idea was to walk past itit and the statehouseve been ahe tiny step to unvel the marker, one of the last people sterilized in indiana and it was under that guise. >> before we open up discussion tond attendees about this, dropt into the chat. all right, last question. we talked about a wide variety of topics in different areas but what you think is the most important thing we should take from the conversation? >> especially most vulnerable citizens and legislation has these to make our own choices. looking at healthy societies, decisions on how to help people in the economics of politics for pseudoscience and humanity, fit or unfit, or the or unworthy, we note people cannot be those things and cannot be illegal and people seeking asylum especially children argue and allow these policies and policies mainly. other hateful policies and a lot of this language organizing americans first and what we talked about today in protecting these rights. >> the idea of what if i changed over time, toit? >> take away. >> one thing is is did happ

in the statehouse. madigan was a legislative leader for the first time that year. he was actually my noise later madigan and george ryan was the speaker of the house. it was a last bakehouse. remember the gist of 177 members in the house and then the cat back mma came alone pushed by pat quinn. they ended up with 118. he was in the last bakehouse, george rand was a last speaker of the bakehouse and they had a rebate districting you. you've r heard about all those fights the issue about redrawing the district lines. they fought it out and the democrats ended up having the upper hand. he drew the lines. he became speaker and started s his 36 year run as speaker of the house. nobody else in american history has reached that kind of destination. >> even though mike madigan was incredibly powerful, it's not the sort of power we see at the national level now where it's just i'm just advancing the causes of my party, and the other party can just drop off the wayside. madigan was very issue specific. one of the things i thought was most fascinating was when ray talks about

republicans almost captured the statehouse in the last election in new jersey, and there wasn't muchjust want to know, are you going to throw your hat in the ring? do you think you could beat menendez? that's all i'ming asking. >> oh, if i run, i'll beat him. if i run, i'll beat whoever's going to run on the republican side. but i have to think about this. serious consideration, and and this is not a political answer. right now i am focused on this budget deadline that's looming this week. larry: yeah. >> i have to focus on the task at hand and what's going on right now in congress. but i'm going to talk about this with my family, my friends, my closest advisers and make a decision. regardless of whomever the candidate is, they have to be strong. if we don't stand for something, we stand for nothing. they just can't be cattle. they really have have to peek to these issues that i just mentioned which are real issues not only in the state of new jersey, but in the united states of america. i believe we're at a breaking point, and these democrats know that, and that is why they are tryi

the state, all over the country, started paying attention and they saw what was happening in the statehouseto silence not only their own members, but silence members in the gallery. and tennesseeans are fed up. >> marsha blackburn votes consistently with how she voted in the house and won decisively in 2018 by something like 10, 11 points. even though she was running against a pretty popular democratic governor, phil retison, and he even had the endorsement of taylor swift, nashville royalty. how are you going to be able to do better than him? >> as i said, there's been a change the last five years. the extremism is being seen by everyone across the state. we're building a broad, multiracial, multigenerational coalition to win this race. we're going to bring in independent democrats and some republicans who are fed up. when we saw the gun violence happen at covenant school and the republicans pretend they were going to do something, then refuse to do something, and absolutely betray the 80%, 80%, that means republicans, democrats, and independents in tennessee, who wanted to see common sens

yet the statehouse press secretary saying that they're, quote, unquote, full of loopholes and questions whether there are adequate checks and balances to make sure people aren't abusing the system and, they say, taking vacation time and pretending it's for medical purposes. now, i wonder what is fueling this mistrust? >> laura, i mean it was mind-boggling. they even went a step further to put out talking points that said this is taxpayer-funded adult summer vacation. and i know you're a mom. i'm a mom. any parent can tell you the first few weeks after giving birth to a child is the last thing from a vacation. >> weeks, months, some would say years after giving birth to a child. i'm waiting for the vacation element of it. but that's one aspect of it, of course. the idea that this is something that is going to be abused, that someone is going to pretend one thing, take advantage of this particular notion, and then do something that costs the taxpayer money says a larger issue about how people are viewing this entire thing. by the way, here is some of what the memo obtained by the messenge

the great state of wisconsin where the districts were drawn by the republican legislature, the statehouses get an "f." same for the wisconsin state senate maps. those also get an "f" for failure. the failure for wisconsin democracy in those maps translates into a win for wisconsin republicans. the bottom line with those maps is that even when way more people in wisconsin vote for democrats, republicans win most of the seats anyway. a nice trick. wisconsin voters appear to be just about fed up with this. consider what happened this year when they voted for a new state supreme court justice. liberal candidate janet protasiewicz told voters the wisconsin maps are wrong. she called the maps rigged. she said they do not reflect people in this state. voters heard that message and they picked janet by a margin of 11 points, a resounding margin. her victory created a liberal majority on the wisconsin supreme court for the first time in 15 years with a huge win. and so wisconsin republicans freaked out. before she hears a single case on the supreme court, republicans are threatening to impeach her

conference that they were expecting to hold tomorrow afternoon with attorneys on the south carolina statehouseurt of appeals. of course, alex murdaugh was convicted by a jury in the brutal murders of his wife maggie and son paul back in march. a judge sentenced him to two life sentences which he is currently serving in a south carolina prison. about a week later his team filed notice that they did plan to appeal, but they didn't give any other details about what that appeal would be based on at the time. now, this is all coming as we are getting a better glimpse into what was happening in the minds of the surviving murdaughs as that trial was going on. in a new docuseries that dropped on thursday from fox nation buster murdaugh, the only living murdaugh not in prison spoke with the media for the first time at length about his father and his late brother and mother. buster saying that he still believes that his father is innocent of those killings, but acknowledged that the trial did change his perception of the man he has always called dad. >> when i look up the definition of psychopaths, some

this is not a mainstream call among republicans in statehouse.se are far right members of the party and some other republicans have been pushing back against that. what we saw yesterday from governor kemp was the strongest pushback against that. if you have issues with the way the d.a. is doing her job, there are proper proceedings by which to raise those complaints. he is not going to call a special session to raise the issue of looking at impeaching her saying that that with likely be proven unconstitutional. he went a step further and said that he really hasn't seen any evidence that she has violated her oath or dog done anything improper. it's interesting when you see the fact that governor kemp pushed back and said we're not going to focus on that. for many people who have watched georgia over the past few years, we know that echos his pushback against then president trump who also called on him to call a special legislative session in order to overturn his election loss here in georgia. of course, the governor didn't do it at the time. that
