the first wilderness areas in the state of arkansas. one of the wilderness areas was flatside which is located in both perry and saline county, both of which are in my district. in 2005, the u.s. forest service recommended that these 640 acres be included in the national wilderness program. stating that adding these lands to the wilderness program would establish a more logical and manageable boundary for these areas and is consistent with the forest management plan. this measure is a first step in enhancing flatside. additional measures are being considered to study other u.s. forest lands that are suitable for addition to the area adjacent to flatside. we're also working to restore certain adjacent areas that were in former prior ownership to native species. perry county offers something very special for arkansans, visitors young and old alike, seeking an authentic outdoor recreational experience. this tourism has had a positive effect on arkansas' economy, especially in these largely rural counties. by increasing the wilderness area

but if you go to the rural parts of shelby county, into fayette county, north mississippi, eastern arkansas, in september and october, you will see a lot of cotton being picked by machines. so, where it would take 50 people to pick a field, now it only takes one guy on a tractor with a cotton picker. so the industry has changed, in the sense that there are fewer memphians involved in the industry. but in terms of overall economics and how much money it brings into the city, either directly or by shipping it indirectly, it is still huge. millions of dollars flow through memphis because of the transportation hub, and that of course includes cotton. memphis is acy for two-edged sword. on the one hand, it is the reason in many ways that memphis grew beyond its small roots. have there been no cotton economy, there might not have been the need for a transportation hub at this location on the river, so it's quite possible that without cotton, memphis would not exist in the 21st century. thater, you can't forget that is being done on the backs of enslaved people. a foundations up of inequality, a f

but arkansas? he knew when to drop it. they encouraged significant misunderstandings of the time and they enjoyed the attention and prolonged which wasn't why is and it would be easy to conclude in this setting that in a meeting with atoms they were arranging a quid pro quo for his support. they were high on all sides and there was a lot of discussion about how they should consider the candidates. the intention of the constitution was to have it act independently of all general results. if the house were to ratify an electoral college plurality why have they vote at all? via the portal plurality would be sufficient to a winner if that were the case but that was the specifically not the case of the constitution, rather the top three finishers in the electoral college came before the house entitled over the result. the constitution meant for the house to start its considerations from scratch. and then the vote was held and they won on the first ballot. they are enormously confiscated reasons why this happened and we won't ta

they tried it in 2014, arkansas. they were defending a senate seat, put it on the ballot, passed overwhelmingly, but didn't work. mike pryor still got blown out. in 2014, alaska put it on the ballot, passed, didn't work. so here we go. it's 2018, missouri. we're back where we started. mccaskill you said in that very close race. what can we read into this history? well, it's not necessarily a game changer. clearly, just putting it on the ballot doesn't win the election for democrats. the election for democrats. but the question is does it have a marginal impact? if the race is really close. in an otherwise close race, could that give you a bit of an extra edge, i think this is an interesting test this year because missouri is one of the closest senate races on the board this year. the thing to a tie when you start to look at it. so this is on the ballot and election day to see if it could get the extra votes, this is the race it could make a difference. >> even as mccaskill running as a centralist, because there is th

the arkansas story of the speaker of the arkansas legislature who was insulted and stepped down and kills the person who insulted him. that is not in congress. these were violent times in the united states. politics was violent. legislatures were violent. not just arkansas. partly, this is happening everywhere. what interested me about congress was the sectional divides and the different senses of violence and rulemaking and breaking that north and south and west had. that is part of what grabbed me. if you put northerners, southerners, and westerners in a room and force them to confront these charged issues, what happens? that is where the bullying came from. for sure, it is happening on a state level as well. it is just the tone and logic of it has an extra spin on the national level. sure. hi. a familiar face. >> [indiscernible] >> interesting. ok. it is interesting. did what was happening on a national level give folks back home permission to act that way? more often than not, i saw the reverse. people back home urging their congressmen, particularly northerners, northerners assumed t
