the first district in north carolina. good morning to you. we asked you to come on to talk about the poverty line in the u.s. because we have been , reading about changes by the trump administration and we wanted your reaction. can you explain, what is the first poverty line and what does it mean? guest: the census bureau defines what is poverty in our country. and it generally bases it on a family of four, the poverty line in 2019 is $25,750. for a single individual, $12,490. so the census bureau sets the poverty lines. many governmental programs are based on the poverty line. free and reduced lunches for children at school for example. children's health insurance, so many of our federal programs are based on the poverty line and if you fall below the poverty line, you are entitled to these programs, and if you do not, you are not entitled. we are getting reports that president trump is determined to redefine the poverty line and he has put it out for comment and june 21 is the magic date that comments need to be submitt

my state is north carolina, 13 seats were allocated back in 2010. and in 2011 the legislator drew some political boundaries. our legislator at the time and still is a republican legislator, and they drew these boundaries in a very manipulative and very strategic way to advantage the republicans. it's what we call political advantage. they drew these lines to advantage their positions. years ago we didn't have political technology and drawing political maps, but now we have that technology, and whoever is responsible for drawing the map can now employ computer technology and develop districts that will favor their party. the technology is such that now we can determine almost with certainty how a voter is likely to vote. and with that data, maps can be generated. and so in north carolina even though democrats have republicans are jt about equally situated in terms of voter registration, when the maps were prepared, there were 10 republican leaning district and three democratic districts. and during the debate the chairman of the redistricting committ
