the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina seek recognition? mr. butterfield: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. butterfield: madam speaker, i rise today to recognize the important work being done all across north carolina to reduce food insecurity. i commend the outgoing president of the north carolina association of county commissioners, ronnie smith, for his leadership on this effort. ronnie is also chair of the martin county board of commissioners, a constituent, and a good friend. under ronnie's leadership, the association's resilt yens -- resilience task force promoted food resilience. they released a report to help counties deepen relationships with the local food banks, improve efforts to transport food to homes and strengthen local food sources to help food insecurity. this year, 42 million people nationwide will experience food insecurity. madam speaker, i applaud president ronnie smith's leadership. i applaud him for his lea

the foundation is a north carolina history projects, it is the history of north carolina not going to re-create american history will people are trying to come up with an american history curriculum but we are actually taken care of north carolina history project and turning it into a curriculum. where in the process of converting that. to your point, school districts have actually come to us and said we need this. there is a service for the other thing is on this whole point of truth and honesty in history, our doctor terry soup just posted something on our website as north carolina goes through these new social studies standards they are putting out and parents are wondering of its critical race theory? just up and go think of traditionally as american history. our doctor terry, they come out with some supporting documents that are just glossaries of terms as the state board of education these are people talk about social studies standards, history standards, that kind of thing. they come out the supporting document and it is a glossary of terms. they had for effective education sta

i have seen this in north carolina. industry has shown -- industry has known of the danger of pfas contamination for decades. yet, we still lack significant federal protections. we cannot continue to let these man made chemicals endanger of health of our people and our planity. h.r. -- planet. h.r. 2467 will protect americans and our environment by setting standards for our drinking water, instituting comprehensive pfas testing requirements, providing grants to utilities that are treating contamination, and so much more. i also support h.r. 2668 to solidify the f.t.c.'s ability to retrieve money for victims of fraud and scam. we cannot allow american consumers and businesses to fall victim to fraud without holding scammers and bad actors financially accountable. and this emergency legislation will help americans who have fallen victim to fraud whole. lastly, i support h.r. 3985, to keep our nation's promises to our afghan allies and protect those who helped protect us. we owe it to those who put their lives on the line

you know, we won in north carolina. we actually took that mobilization, took it into court, and beat back the worst voter suppression bill since jim crow. we announced today that we're going to have beginning in georgetown, texas, on july the 27th, ending in austin, texas, on july the 31st a moral resurrection and a march from georgetown austin, similar to the march from selma to montgomery. it is time to nationalize what's going on in texas, and in this particular march from georgetown austin, 27 miles, four days of marching, we're demanding four things. end the filibuster, pass every provision of the for the people act, which is actually the bill john lewis wrote. pass the voting rights act restoration and pass $15 an hour living wage because we've got to connect voting to economics and recognize this is not just a black issue. it's not just jim crow. it's james crow, esquire. we're going to walk with our feet, put legs on our prayers, nationalize this, and make a cry from texas, people of all races, creeds, and color

in north carolina the coalition built their. i think reignited for a lot of people the idea that direct action works, the idea that when you run up against political power, concerted political power of special interests, that are standing against, you one of the ways around it is not just by building similar political power to compete within the formal electoral system. but putting boots on the string, putting people on the ground in a way that calls out to the conscience of anybody who sees but they're doing. how do you see direct action working and what's feels like an impasse right now on this issue? >> well for direct action to work, first of all, it must be a moral fused to direct action. it cannot be something that you do one day. it has to be broad, deep, and needs to hold people. but then you need to have that legal stretch, and a legislative branch, and a way of framing issues in the moral form that allows people to see that connection. and then in the poor peoples campaign and the call for moral revival, they said, loo

host: we will go to lexington, north carolina, good morning. caller: good morning and thanks for taking my call. two comments i would like to make. the gentleman who said he was a non-graduate, two comments on that but on his comment in his statements, he is right on the money. how can we say we have the job growth and we haven't gotten back to the point before the pandemic? there is jobs out there. i haven't missed a day since this pandemic. there is people who know need employees and they can't get them and they will not get them as long as the federal government are paying them to stay at home. host: thank you for the call. this is a message from a viewer in georgia saying we started our own residential cleaning business in the metro area and are looking to hire. it's hard to find people who want to do the job. from north carolina, keith, your next. caller: good morning. one of the things with unemployment is that right now there is a lot of jobs that cannot be filled because people make more to stay at home than they do to go to work. the t

in north carolina and across the country. in fact, we're seeing a lot of our rural efforts -- a lot of our rural states see a significant rise in covid cases and particularly the delta variant. >> in fact, i think we have some information on that in your rural -- in the rural areas that the vaccination rates are the lowest. polls also showing that in addition to influences by misinformation that also politics has injected itself into it, that apparently a larger percentage of republicans than democrats and independents have shown a reluctancy to get vaccinated. as a democratic governor how do you convince residents who may not support you politically or a particular party politically to get vaccinated? >> well, we've got a number of republican leaders in our state who have joined me in this effort to get people vaccinated. we're getting ministers, trusted people in communities. and the number one thing we're telling people, if you don't believe me, if you don't believe other people on tv or on the internet, ask your doctor. t

hbcus can't draw the resources of a place like the university of north carolina. and those students are just as wo worthy to get someone like me to instruct them in journalism as the students at the university of north carolina. i'm sad i won't be instructing those students. those students are great advocates, they protested on my behalf. i'll still be engaging with those students, just not in the classroom. >> i've been off, spending time with my family, three different generations, right, especially of black women in my family, my family is dominated by women. my mom, my sisters, and my nieces. and then we of course are the younger generation, my great nephews, but they're nephews, guys. before you go, you will now be colleagues with actress felicia rashad who is the dean of howard's college of fine arts. she sent this letter to the school students and parents apologizing for tweeting in celebration of bill cosby's sexual assault conviction being overturned. she since deleted that tweet, she's apologized. what do you think about that, what do you think of the si

that is something that we are told was a point in the negotiations here in north carolina north carolina does not have the best record on that front. but apparently made enough movements now to seal the deal, plus they have the local talent and that certainly did help. more about our study of top states at cnbc.com full rankings coming out on july 13th jon? >> i'll take it. it is fascinating the way in which remote work is affecting your top states list that's scott cohn. thanks. >>> when we come back, the ceo live from mesqretis ua in a moment >>> welcome back astra, an aerospace company, sending satellites, not people into space, is debuting on the nasdaq today the company is listing at a $2 billion valuation via spac and joining us now with our own morgan brennan is astra founder and ceo chris kemp chris, great to have you the business of space as we look into the future, fascinating because of the potential that we're seeing now in reusability and i guess frequency of launches, that is going to allow a different kind of economics. tell us first what astra adds to that. >> there is a

so i've question is practiced in north carolina. we graduated in the same law school class so you've got a democrat and a republican from north carolina sitting on this judiciary committee and i will say president biden just signed into law a bill that we got through this committee. so it's abipartisan work that can be done . but i see how bipartisan these kind of appointments can be and judge myers knows about how long it took to fill his particular position because of the differences between an administration and our senators . and before judge myers was appointed d, there were two african-american women who were rated as very well-qualified who simply were rejected by our senators . one of whom had been elected statewide. so we need to get past this partisanship and focus on qualifications law. we've focused on diversifying the bench. i have practiced in the corporate arena and i have practiced in administrative agenciesand i've been a civil rights attorney . i can tell you the more diverse the perspective and the background that

the coastal areas of north carolina. i mean, these are where large populations of german and scottish immigrants had settled so, you know, there's some hope there that the british can get a really good stronghold. so by the fall of 1775 loyalist recruitment was going quite well, i mean, that's why we have for example that first battle of 96, you know, there's an effort to disrupt some of the loyalist efforts some of the snow campaign disrupting the loyalist recruitment. so even though the battle of the first battle of 96 ended in a truce. the british confidence was still really high at that point in time. i mean who wouldn't want to capture some of those wealthy colonial ports like savannah or charleston for their fabulous navy to be able to dock at with more and more troops. i mean this was still a possibility. but remember some of those early battles in the south. some of them were pretty significant defeats. they just couldn't even though this one was a truce. they just couldn't get that stronghold. so like i mentione

places like dallas, arizona, north carolina, we are seeing strong rent growth. romaine: there is a lot of talk about the idea that while some price appreciation is landlords trying to make up for what they lost during the pandemic, there is also a concern that certain cities will in the short term not get back we pandemic rent levels -- back to pre-pandemic rent levels. >> if you peel back, one thing that happened during the pandemic is small units fell out of favor. if you look at deep data, much of the occupancy lost was in 500 square-foot apartments. two bedroom apartments stayed solid. joe: go back to construction. you mentioned a lot slowed down during the pandemic. in the single-family space, it was red-hot, and now we are seeing constraints. will we get catch up expansion in the multifamily segment of housing or are they running into the same constraints single-family is running into? >> i think we will have a slow pipeline for the next 18 to 24 months and catch up will be 2024. caroline: romaine made reference that this is different on a different price

and then of course there was the largest donor to the school, the university of north carolina, walter huntsman, who we found out in the last six weeks had been lobbying against me privately and then who went on kind of a national speaking tour to castigate me as a journalist publicly, and his name is on the school. it became very difficult for me to believe i could maintain my dignity and work at a school with his name on it. then it was the kind of third nail in the coffin was the board of trustees waited until the last possible day, the last possible moment to vote on my tenure in a split vote and actually allowed law enforcement to push and pummel student protesters in the process. and it just -- it was no longer a university that i wanted to work for or a position that i wanted. and i knew pretty early on that if i wasn't going to go to the university of north carolina, i was going to go to a historically black college because, don, you and i both know really the burden of always trying to force your way into institutions that show that they don't want you or don't believe you're

it is housed at the university of north carolina. i was so excited to have the opportunity to engage with pstudents the way that my professors engaged with me. this has been one of the most difficult periods of my life, which is why i've been silent about it. >> how do you feel about going to howard? i imagine at howard they're doing the hula that they have nikole hannah-jones on their staff. >> your friend oprah told me at one point i was at a supreme point of destiny. that's how i thought about howard university. one of my regrets is i didn't go to howard as an undergraduate. it's so clear to me that this is the right thing for me to do at this moment. howard has an amazing journalism program. at this point i'm bringing $15 million in resources to help build up investigative reporting at howard, i'm trying to raise 27 million, so to bring those types of resources to a university that punches above its weight, i'm excited. something great came out of this. >> i think we will say congratulations to you, nicole h hannah-jones, and we'

>> reporter: these are four health care workers from different hospitals in north carolina. why not? >> we don't know what the long-term side effects are. >> it also hasn't been proven to be effective. >> the cdc and many public health experts say it's more than 90% effective. >> they do say that. that hasn't proven to me to be true. >> i'm not just going to jump on a bandwagon with something that hasn't been tested. >> when you say it hasn't been tested, it has been tested, though. the normal year span of how long something is tested, it's usually 12 to 14 years before it comes to humans. >> reporter: across the country, about one in four health care workers still isn't vaccinated against covid. and from north carolina to texas to new york, protests are mounting. >> i don't trust it right now. >> reporter: so is the pushback. >> this is the category of give me a bleeping break. when did everyone get a medical degree? >> reporter: for weeks, we've spoken with many overworked health care workers who practically begged americans to get the shot. what do you tell people who jus

. >> the storm will hit the carolinas. this is charlotte, north carolina. elsa strengthened to a category 1 hurricane before weakening to a tropical storm. ana rivera from wtvd is live in wrightsville beach, north carolina. >> reporter: it is not really the ideal day for a beach day today. take a look at these conditions. it is raining hard and the wind is blowing hard. you can see the waves that do not compare to california but they are dangerous right now for north carolina. look at yesterday. some families making the decision to pack up their beach vacation. they knew they wouldn't be able to enjoy the last day and they wanted to avoid elsa. some are sticking it out today. the general feeling is that they will see some sunshine on the other side of this. ocean rescue said their guards are not going to be in those stance today and they will avoid the rain, wind and lightning to make sure they're safe and they're asking everyone to stay out of the water. >>> let's look at what's going on. you can see precipitation is heaviest in the sand hills of north car

north carolina, mr. bishop. to introduce chief justice myers. >> i am honored to introduced the second chief judge for the united states district court of the eastern district of north carolina. he is a native of north jamaica but grew up in wilmington, north carolina. he graduated from unc wilmington and from that unc school of law. he had a distinguished career as an attorney in private practice and as a federal prosecutor. he served as assistant u.s. attorney for both the central district of caroline and -- california and the eastern district of north carolina and taught criminal law. in 2019, trump nominated him to the district court bench in the senate confirmed. -- and the senate confirmed. judge myers became chief judge in north carolina this january. i was privileged to meet him during my tenure in the senate, and i am thrilled to renew the acquaintance. and proud to introduce your honor to the committee today. i'm eager to hear your perspective in today's proceedings. >> thank you. welcome, chie

, north carolina, and eventually into virginia during the day on friday. so this is going to be a long-lived system. notice along the track, there's a lot of heavy rain. it's not just flooding in florida, it's flooding into the carolinas and virginia, as well. now along the track, we could see as much as four to eight inches of rain, some places seeing a little bit more than that with saturated ground in florida. that is going to cause flooding. also the biggest problem is storm surge. generally two to five feet. some places will see likely the five feet of storm surge, and here's the reason why -- the storm's only passing a few miles offshore. as it passes offshore, we have winds coming in from the south and southwest. now in the intercoastal waterway and especially in the tampa area, there are lots of nooks and crannies. lots of back bays and inlets. when you force water into a very narrow area, it's got nowhere to go, it's forced upward and inundates coastal communities. that happens often in the tampa bay area with a storm of this magnitude, as much as

as you can see, the lands records took me in a direct line from north carolina to north carolina to the james river. flipping that technically meant that the family started on the james river and ended in north carolina and granville county. now, someone might want to say, how were you able to trace back that far? well, these are just some of the books that i used at the d.a.r. library tracing land patents. nothing mysterious about it. not trying to do anything fancy. these books had some very interesting records in them. what i was able to do was absolutely connect our family genealogy from my first -- my second great grandmother all the way through to my 11th great grandfather. and fortunate for me, the family only dotted out at my grandmother's grandmother. and because she knew her, i believe -- i was able to follow all the men in a direct line from land patent to land patent. it even showed how they sold one in location to purchase the land in another location. that became quite invaluable to me. but in doing this research, all of a sudden out of the clear blue sky i made a remarkab

is now in the collection of the north carolina museum of history. i think them very much for letting me come down two years ago to take it out of storage preventing is been out of its box for years because of the condition. but laid it out so we can take a look and see what is going on. you will notice right away. it is all black. no better white pieces. that shocked me. that led me down to what we're doing today. the main body of the robe is completely gone whenever the textile terms are that the weave is completely gone but you can see the sleeves those in her sleeves are intact the top part is fairly intact and these are actually the outer sleeves remember they are red and white pieces on the sleeves? so that this would be attached to the inner sleeve. you can tell they have a weird sheen to them. it's hard to tell them trying to work with the two museums to get that to robes side by side so they can be looked at. what you notice right away there are very similar attributes. this is the outer sleeve. they have the same treatment but they are not

and that got a lot of criticism in chapel hill as well as across the state in north carolina. but gradually, things started to improve and they improve the quickly. 1969, what is the reaction to you winning the becoming mayor of chapel hill? >> well, my first reaction was to my wife. not thinking that i was going to win. i did not write a acceptance speech. i did not plan a celebratory event, i was just sitting around smoking cigars and getting ready to go home and get back to my position. and i want, and i looked at my wife and said, okay i got it, what am i going to do with it? and it was such a joy, and such elation in chapel hill. not just in chapel hill, once the work got out that i was on the verge started coming here from durham, someone from riley, some from greensboro, because several of the colleges in greensboro had sent students down to campaign in the campaign. and i was not here when u.n.c. won its first and see aa championship, but i was told the crowd in the street were absolutely amazing. that is what happened the night of my election. and the reaction was mix

when she chose a college far from home, north carolina state, she was soon surrounded again by an admiring group of women friends, best friends, buddies. fiona child was her sorority big sister. >> there is one picture and it came out beautiful because we liked it because we thought we looked like charlie's angels posed without intention of doing that. >> it was sometime in 2001 when friends started hearing about michelle's new guy, a fellow student named jason young, heard how he had grown up in the north carolina mountains, how he loved to camp, how he was a life at tailgate parties. michelle fell hard and fast. >> they seemed like a good couple.y he was different from other men she dated in the past. he wasn't as serious about a career as she was. he was a little bit less sophisticated than michelle was, but she seemed to be very happy with him. >> michelle and jason married in october 2003. the day after the wedding, they shared their big secret, michelle was pregnant. their daughter cassidy was bornr early the next year. >> i love you, mommy. >> i love you, too, cassidy. >> and when s

north carolina is in the middle of that because of the jingles case. but the supreme court a couple weeks ago made that harder. so that's made congress's job harder. but we are going to get it done on the house side, send to it the senate, and hopefully they will just get it out in time for redistricting. >> now, in the past couple of weeks, we've seen texas democrats flee their state to try and block republicans from passing voting bills. you saw one just before you on this show. we have seen your colleague, congresswoman george beatty in handcuffs simply for protesting our voting rights on capitol hill. similar lee, congressman johnson. you are also a civil rights lawyer. what are you willing to do to ensure voting rights are protected for all of us. >> i am doing everything in my power to get these bills through the committee. and the most important thing is getting them through in a way that will withstand supreme court scrutiny. we have seen this supreme court over the last eight years gut the voting rights act, make it very, very difficult to pre

dan: now you are lieutenant governor of north carolina. let me ask you a personal question, i am lieutenant governor of north carolina and grew up in a poor family, really? we know each other personally but i've never -- when does that sink in? what my mom did to me, i'm doing right now? >> i've had to catch myself last night i was in the car with my wife writing down the road and i started thinking about it and i said my thought, if i went back to when i was five or six years old living in that little shack house, if somebody told that little dirty get when rex, telling me i would be lieutenant, i wouldn't believe it but again i group grew up in a family where we believed we could do anything because our mother told us that and she led by example and the things we are talking about here today are right up her l.a. not a time to sit back collect checks from the government, dreams are still possible, get out and make it possible. dan: that's exactly what president biden wants to do, he wants to expand government benefit to middle-class fami

judge myers became chief judge in north carolina this january. i was privileged to meet him during my tenure in the senate, and i am thrilled to renew the acquaintance. i am eager to hear your perspectives. >> thank you. the honorable michael j mcshane is eight u.s. district judge for the district of oregon, and prior to serving on the federal court, judge mcshane was a county judge for 15 years, presiding over a variety of criminal and civil cases. he was appointed to the county death penalty panel in 2003. he teaches extensively on trial practice, advocacy and evidence, focusing much of his time off the bench working with at risk youth. prior to becoming a judge, he worked at the public defenders office. he grew up in rural eastern washington and obtained his bachelor's degree at gonzaga university and then he joined the volunteer corps and worked with homeless parolees in portland. he then obtained his law degree from lewis and clark law school. he is one of the 11 lgbtq active article three judges in the first gay federal judge serving the di

he could go into north carolina. he thought it would help him with subduing the rebellion in south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780, down into the late spring of, well, in 1781 and all until he arrives at yorktown in the summer of 1781. clinton, meanwhile, comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. that was the southern strategy and that's what the british were trying to accomplish here and i try to argue in the book that they came reasonably close. some things went wrong that we can maybe talk a little bit later on this evening, but at the beginning of 1781 clinton was far more confident than washington was, what was going to happen that year. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any of the other four years that he was commander. and i think what clinton ultimately thought was that if the allies, if the french and the americans could

state of north carolina. and once that connection is made and the administrators understand that that connection is made and that what is being taught is covered by that, then they support -- they are supportive of it and parents usually understand at that point. i think it was sometimes that it was that insistence that you make those connections between the institutions of chattel slavery and contemporary things in the united states. for instance, the plantation of monticello is on the back of american currency, it's on the back of the nickel. that's the plantation of one of our, quote unquote, founding fathers, thomas jefferson. first secretary of state of the united states, third president of the united states, but a man who enslaved up to 600 people on that plantation, which is on the back of a piece of american currency. so when you try to downplay or denounce or dismiss the impact of that institution on our history, i don't -- i just don't understand it and i have to bring it into the classroom and teac

amy: for more, we are joined in greensboro, north carolina, by joe killian, investigative reporter for n.c. policy watch who nikole hannah-jones credited with breaking the story about the "discrimination i faced in the unc tenure debacle." his latest story is an exclusive print interview with her, headlined "nikole hannah-jones declines unc tenure offer, heads to howard university." welcome to democracy now! we are talking about one of -- the oldest public university in the united states, joe killian. take us through it, what happened, and who the donor is -- this critical point that the university's journalism school named for, who intervene in this process. >> sure. it is a little over simplistic to say she was denied tenure because it was much more unusual than that. they just decided not to vote on it. just something you see in politics, not usually academics. killing something inommittee, making sure it never comes to vote, no one is on cord publicly one way or another. that is, commissioner meetings, not general you see on the board of trustees at a major university. that is what

i want to talk about north carolina. as a former civil rights attorney in the state legislature in north carolina, i have seen up close the hidden ways in which states and localities can restrict citizen rights to vote. i have fought against them. i want to talk briefly about thornburgh versus jingles, a seminal supreme court case referred to that upheld the ruling from a federal district court in north carolina in 1986. it solidified the 1982 amendments to the voting rights act and utilized several of the factors enumerated in the 1982 sent his report. for how to consider -- senate report for how to consider potentially discriminatory laws. the supreme court affirmed what the district court had found, that the essence of this section to claim is that a certain electoral law, practice, or structure interacts with social and historical conditions to cause inequality in voting opportunities. in brnovich , the court turned away from this interpretation, narrowed the scope of section two, and subverted congress's efforts to

georgia, south carolina, and possibly north carolina as well. and jermaine thought that was a possible strategy. he believes not think that he was generally correct in this that a greater percentage of colonists in the southern colonies had remained loyal to england that was the case in the northern colonies. they were times we glinted by economically and through the church and other factors. so jermaine felt that by going into the self, many of these loyalists would willingly bear arms for the king. and since many of the troops, a thousand trips had to be relinquished by clinton, they can be replaced hopefully by loyalists. some of whom would command to the regular british army and enter what became known as prudential residents and others would go into newly structured loyalists militia. and the idea was the british army would drive the rebels out of that area and in the loyalist relations would come in behind the british army and take possession of that area and pacify the area. workout, missus once the united states assuming its independence
