clean missouri passed by over 60% of the missouri voters. to overturn that before it is even implemented is an insult to the voters. let's implement clean missouri. and then, if there are issues with it, there can be other ballot initiatives that we can tweak it and fix it and make it work properly. instead of trying to overturn it. thanks. moderator: we move to our next round of questions. this comes from tricia miller. >> let's talk transportation. the missouri department of transportation says it needs hundreds of millions of dollars for roads and bridges. voters defeated a fuel tax increase two years ago. since then, the coronavirus has further impacted state revenues. what is your plan to improve the state transportation system? moderator: rik combs, you are first. mr. combs: yes, that is very, very important. missouri is in the top six or seven in the country in road mileage, bridges and all that. it is quite an expensive system. j. millett: j. millett: -- it is quite an expensive system. and anybody that has been out and about in the

kansas and missouri will be a republican state, though. is that what is happening here there is more growth in kansas than in missouri? >> you know, there is something new to that. i just got emergencies today. the big county outside of kansaser kansas city, you know more than 40% since 2016, chuck, so the question in kansas, what we're looking at in months to come, is that the trump fe non n that is beginning to change out here. that is what we're going to talk about here. very competitive democrats. we have not seen this level of competition between ds an rs in kansas in a long time. >> what is the key to this senate race? i think a lot of people assumed it was coback getting defeated, marshall has not been able to pull away. what are you watching for in these last few days? >> right now the democrat is the overpowering roger marbshall. she has a four-to-one advantage and she is all over the air waves. 60 ads, making 11th hour afeels to people giving a race. the early numbers are going to come running in. it looks like a upset is brewing

we've seen reports last week from missouri, also from idaho of rural hospitals being overwhelmed now just like the hospitals in wisconsin are. now, because of the polling in missouri and idaho, i'm guessing they're not likely to have president trump come visit, to pack thousands and thousands of maskless people and congregate events for the president's benefit right where the virus is worse in those states. so not being a swing state, some of these states are a minor epidemiological blessing because the president himself is holding events that nobody else in the country is holding that are covid disasters. this is another one to wachlt north dakota. north dakota, the case rise is even worse than it is in wisconsin right now. the fastest outbreak in the country. they just lost their third state health director in four months. they've gone through three of them. this last one didn't last one month in office while the cases take off in that state with the rocket's red glare. the covid virus is not going away on its oven. even though we have to share billing with the covid crisis right n

grew up in rural missouri, ran away to stanford, yale, came back, was missouri attorney general. now is the youngest member of the united states senate. already made a name for himself, senator hawley, welcome to axios. sen. hawley: thank you for having me. mr. allen: you on the judiciary committee, he will be at the center of the fight for the confirmation of judge amy coney barrett, but you have a much more personal view of the court than everyone else that is going to be there. you were a law clerk to chief justice roberts. sen. hawley: i did work in the building. it was one of my first jobs out of law school. i met my wife doing that. it was a good year for me. we got married after our year of working together on the court. i have gotten to see that court up close and personal. i have gotten to liquid -- to litigate. i am a member of the bar, so it is a place i know relatively well. mr. allen: how was the chief justice a boss? sen. hawley: very good boss. he runs his chambers with great efficiency. one of his jobs is to administer the federal judiciary as a whole, which he do

louis, missouri. so, right up ahead here is where the fence and the gate are. and if you get up high enough on a ladder or on top of a vehicle, you can see a bit of concrete from the 1920's that was still left here. it exists just beyond the outer ring road of the airport and runs up to one of the current runways. i just saw a plane take off here. it literally crossed over route 66. and so, it is still there. hardly anybody knows about this little fragment of the mother road that is hiding in plain sight, but right beyond that gate is where the old road was and still is. >> where did the idea for this book start, or come about? mr. gerlich: ellen and i met on facebook. cliche theseounds days but we did. , in several facebook groups for route 66. and she and her husband in germany had been wanting to pursue a book project, as they had been over to america a couple times prior and had done a lot of photography on the road. and they wanted to partner with someone from america who knew the route and was prepared to write about it. so, we kind of had a blind date in

, libertarian colmes and green party candidate jerome bauer take part in a televised debate for the missouri press association and komu sponsor the event. >>> explore the issue is you want the president and congress to address in 2021. be bold with your documentary. show supporting and opposing points of view and include c-span video. there's $100,000 in total cash prizes including a grand prize of $5,000. submit videos by january, 2021. for more information on how to get started, studentcam.org. >>> earlier today, house speaker nancy pelosi and energy and commerce committee chair frank colÓn talked about -- frank pallone talked about the next negotiations for the coronavirus relief legislation. >> good morning, everyone. thank you for being here. i have a special guest with us today. the distinguished chair of the energy and commerce committee, mr. frank pallone. i asked him to join us because of the discussions that w

he was a fantastic governor of missouri. this state became one of the top five in the nation for health care coverage for children under his leadership. one of the best in advancing all kinds of benefits for children to grow up healthy and strong. and of course, this debate also takes place at a time when the tragedy of the uss cole is on our minds and hearts and insofar as the memorial services tomorrow, i would like to also extend sympathy to the families of those who have died and those who are still missing, and the injured. now, mr. hankins, i think that the situation that you describe has gotten completely out of hand. doctors are giving prescriptions, they're recommending treatments, and then their recommendations are being overruled by hmos and insurance companies. that is unacceptable. i support a strong national patient's bill of rights. it is actually a disagreement between us, a national law that is pending on this, the dingle-norwood bill, a bipartisan bill, is one that i support and that the governor does not.

the junior senator from missouri expressed confidence that roe v. wade was wrongly decided. on the supreme court, justice barrett could enforce that view. so which is it, republican leader? is it absurd to think that judge barrett might strike down the affordable care act or super-it a good thing that -- or is it a good thing that shouldn't tarnish her reputation? is it a jo he can that judge barrett could curtail women's fundamental rights or are republican leaders relieved to think that so that thinks roe v. wade is judicial imperialism? americans are starting to get pretty sick of these double standards and mealy mouth talking points. pretty sick of politicians who just four years ago declared they couldn't possibly confirm a democratic nominee to the supreme court in the early months of an election year but are now rushing to confirm a republican nominee in the middle of an election that's already under way. and, most of all, pretty sick of republicans claiming that they support protections for americans with preexisting conditions while at the same time supporting a law
