house. and how that reflected on politics. and the needs of the disabled. this panel is from a day-long symposium. hosted by american universities first lady association. and the historical association which hosted the video. >> i'm the chief preservation officer, and thank you so much for the white house is for this wonderful symposium today, and for our ongoing collaboration to preserve the indicator house in lafayette square. i'm pleased to be here today, to talk about the important role of first lady's and what they have played for historic preservation. to do so during may, which has been celebrated as national preservation month. since 1973. at the national trust, we are looking at how real women made history. to reserve the places where women made important contributions to our country. key component of this, is to highlight the central role that women, including first lady, have played in the preservation movement itself. the honorary chair is former first lady laura bush. a great ad

house. but i do think it is also important to briefly acknowledge a few of their broader contributions to preservation as well. in addition to creating the white house historical association mrs. kennedy almost single-handedly preserved lafayette square. staring it from new federal buildings that would have radically altered its character and in doing so helping to establish the idea that the federal government should preserve cultural landscapes like the square. in 1966 when president johnson sent the final version of the national historic preservation act to congress. it was accompanied by a handwritten note from him that stated simply ladybird wants it. and on may the 8th 1973 almost exactly 50 years ago today first lady patricia nixon read the first presidential proclamation of preservation month at where else but the story decatur house. saying as the pace of change accelerates in the world around us americans more than ever need a lively awareness of our roots and our origins in the pa

forcing a lot of new housing being constructed. what region with the housing stock? i don't love my mom needs to stay in her home i don't the care of it's a young family that maybe needs in a furnace. that is the kind of flexibility and partnership we can all kind of agree and say let's keep a person in their home. lots of them use a voucher to be able to stay there. it's kind of that critical peace if you want to get to your job you have to have a way to get there and have someplace to come back to you. that's been our focus and will use those partnerships to keep people in their home in gore city once again. >> i appreciate that mayor oregon. my view is one of the shortcomings of the proposed american jobs plan is it does not create a major additional source of funds for the affordable program. the president's budget does a very good job. we'll be working at chairman and ranking members on this other peace. thank you very much. >> thank you et cetera ben holland. senator daines or montana is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you for holding this hearing today.

the house will be in order. the house will be in order. the house will be in order. for what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts seek recognition? mr. mcgovern: madam speaker, pursuant to section 8 of house resolution 504, i move to suspend the rules and pass h.r. 1500, h.r. 2471, h.r. 3261, h.r. 3283, and h.r. 3385 and agree to h.res. 186 and h.res. 402. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title. the clerk: h.r. 1500, a bill to direct the administrator of the united states international development to submit to congress a report on the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on global basic education programs. h.r. 2471, a bill to measure the progress of post disaster recovery and efforts to address corruption, governance, rule of law, and freedoms in haiti. h.r. 3261, a bill to repeal the authorization for use of military force against iraq resolution. h.r. 3283, a bill to repeal the joint resolution entitled a joint resolution to promote peace and civility in the middle east. h.r. 3385, a bill to wave the requirement to undergo a medical examine f

the house that the kennedys bought was actually the last house on the street when they moved their. one of the reasons why they chose this home is so they would have lots of open space for their children to play outside. and joe junior, he's the older brother on the right, jack kennedy is the little guy on the left. jack is not looking very happy in this picture, and we usually like to ask our audience members if they can kind of guess what is making jack unhappy. so what is going on here is actually a little bit a bullying. if you look, you will see that the two boys are holding hands, but jack's hand is being squeezed very tightly, to the point where jack is frowning and actually pointing at his brothers hand to the person taking the picture, saying this kind of hurts. can you do something about this? we love to show this picture because it really shows the closeness of the two boys, but they were very competitive and competition with something that was strongly encouraged in the kennedy household. the kennedy parents wanted their children to be competitive. they wanted them to gr

he was born in this very house lived here. toledo is about three and a half years old and then his family moved to a second home. just down the road three blocks away. and so his family called him jack. he spent the first 10 years of his life growing up in brookline before the family moved to new york. and so this house is owned operated and interpreted by the national park service and of all the 421 units of the national park service. we're actually the third smallest site and so you can see in this picture we of course are that house in the middle of the picture and you can see just how very close we are to our neighbors. there's no parking lot people pull right up in front of the house and on the street. that's the parking. it's on a residential road in brookline, massachusetts. it's outside of boston. and we're actually part of a trisite park system one park three sites, so to say but our sister sites are frederick law olmsted national historic site, which is also in brookline, massachusetts frederick law olmstead being th

housing is housing. the administration also proposed $100 billion in consumer rebates to purchase electric vehicles, and $10 billion for a civilian climate corps. this is not infrastructure. in addition, the $2.2 trillion size of the biden administration's plan is wildly excessive. even the plan's spending on real physical infrastructure, doess not comport with economic reality, given how much moneyst congress has spent over the past year. take transit spending, for example. the administration wants $85 billion dollars for transit. this doesn't take into account the tens of billions of dollars the federal government already provided for transit recently. this past march our democratic colleagues passed the bill spending $30 billion on transit. they did that after congress provide more than $40 billion for transit in response to covid in 2020. cbo estimates that of this $70 billion, $22 billion, almost one-third of covid transit dollars, won't be spent until after 2021. and this $70 billion was on top of

the house will be in order. the house will be in order. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognition? the speaker: i ask unanimous consent to speak out of turn. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the speaker: madam speaker, it is with great official pride and personal pride but some sadness that i rise to honor the dedicated service of two departing members of the speaker staff, deputy chief of staff. diane is a pillar of the speaker's office and our caucus. there are a few members who do not know her or her skills and chiropractic. she has dedicated decades to democratic politics ever since as a college student, she borrowed her father's red brick skylark to campaign for a legendary congressman and she is holding positions in the clinton administration in not one but six agencies and serving in senator mitchell's office and now serving in my office. her interest in politics sprang from her commitment to the values of our country and her patriotic spirit. she is a trusted voice bringing extensive experien

wallace's house best truman's mother's house. and so that was a lot of her devotion to always going back to independence, missouri very protective of her mother. and out of this tragedy in her young years, so you know, it's sad to say but i really think that the category that has had the most first lady membership is the reluctant? okay, so we're gonna go back in time to the founding period two questions. i'll let you answer them in whichever order makes sense for you a question about abigail adams and her her interest obviously in women's rights in the new country. we have any comments on that and then who stood as first lady for thomas jefferson, okay. all right, so in terms of abigail adams she is another one of my favorite first ladies and i think in those polls among professional historians that are done every few years. she usually is ranked. number two behind eleanor roosevelt of greatest first ladies. and abigail adams and her famous letter of 1776. she's back in massachusetts and rights to her husband john adams in phila

plus housing prices are skyrocketing around the world, driving concerns of the building us housing bubble could lead to a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. then the federal reserve and miss inflation has increased so much that it's raising its expectations for this year. but it continues reclaim the rising. prices won't be around for a long. we have a lot to get to. so let's get started. after all of the international meetings and face to face conversations, president biden has had this week. none has been more anticipated than his summit with president putin on wednesday following a private meeting bite and opted to hold separate press conferences from his russian counterpart after previously referring to him as a killer and a worthy adversary. it was comments like those that signal the tensions between the 2 countries over everything from nuclear agreements to cybersecurity, while both leaders say they want to work together moving forward. there are a number of differences that remain when asked about the continued accusations that russia is behind reported cyber attacks in the u. s.

the house was bulldozed. or picked up entirely and moved to a new black neighborhood and thrown on the back of the truck basically. the neighborhood became whites loan -- whites only as the result of lobbying at the local level. the neighborhood of crosskeys here in baltimore off of falls road once existed -- and no i think there is a spa a golf , course, a few other things. east housing in baltimore county experienced similar processes. the point of all of this is that you have to find a way to consistently get so-called market practices to line up with racial segregation, right? there is always an attempt to reconcile these. they're at odds. a true free market allows free passage of private property, the honoring of private property and the ability to buy and sell at will. but you need the state to intervene to make sure that racial segregation is being preserved at various turns. the most fascinating thing about this is that the discourse of the property rights that we see coming out of 1960s california fr

sometimes they'd even moved out of the white house the clevelands moved out of the white house for a while to get more privacy for their kids, but the roosevelt's sort of said, we're here look at us and of course the the rambunctious children with their i mean they got so much attention and of course we must remember that it was during that the roosevelt administration that the west wing was built. so if you look at pictures of the white house upstairs born 1900 for example in the in the period of mckinley you wonder how on that second floor they could have the family living and also the office of the president, you know, there were telephones around there were jumbled desks. it was impossible for the roosevelt family to move in there and live with among the telephones. so it was during that period that the west wing was built and then the second floor the white house what we now think of as the residential quarters where you have to be invited up you don't get shown that on the public tour. that developed and the roosevelt's very much are a part of that. eleanor roosevelt is often c

she banned hard liquor from the white house. she banned dancing from the white house gambling. she refused to go to the theater. she would not go out on sundays and and in the last panel in the q&a, we heard a kind of discussion of the terminology that we use to describe these women and and it's so meaningful in the case of sarah polk because sarah always wanted to be known as mrs polk. that was the title that she went by and i titled my biography of her lady first because she wanted to be known as a lady with all the connotations that i had in the 19th century. first and so when she became first lady the american public elevated her and loved her because she seemed like them. there were a lot of religious christians in the country and she seemed to personify their values. this is something that she played up as first lady. she dressed very plainly. she didn't wear jewelry which you know worked for people it made her seem like an average american and it was in keeping with the ethos of the political party that both she and her husband belong to which was the jacksonian democrat

of crime free housing. colleen berumen says it worsens homelessness. colleen: almost every single one of my residents has applied to try to get into the crime free housing and turn down, left and right. it's very sad. candice: we contacted the 11 police departments in the bay area that use the program. officer michael wright with hayward police and lieutenant jausaiah jacobsen with fairfield police agreed to sit down with us. candice: is there proof that this program has actually reduced crime? michael wright: i would have to look at numbers and see if there's some way they can--they measure. we could look at that, but i don't know that offhand. jausaiah jacobsen: i think proof, for us, statistically, i don't know if i'd be able to give you anything. candice: if someone is convicted of a crime, let's say, 20 years ago, and has lived a crime-free life, would this program prevent that person from living on a certain property? jausaiah: i don't think it should, and i don't think it would at all. obviously, you

cameo house. this is a vital resource for the homes that we serve. this provides community for homelessness and children. over the years the program has served as thef?ñ?ñ alternative o jail and prison as well as maintaining a unified of fan base. hunting funding is potentially losing this much needed resources will strike a devastating blow to his already vulnerable and is and enfranchise communities of this program supports. again, i strongly urge city leadership to continue to take action and support our most vulnerable population by allocating the necessary funds for cameo house to remain open so that cameo may continue to provide vital services for the community. take you for your time, please save the cameo house because those lives matter. thank you. >> thank you and next caller please. >> hello and i work on the coalition on homelessness. i am calling because i want to fully fund i want you guys to fully fund the committee budget and this is because a lot of families are experiencing hom

people that are facing housing insecurity and i really think the root of the problem is the lack of housing. >> reporter: rick hall is president of livable california, arguing more housing won't make the bay area any more affordable >> you're never going to get to the point where adding supply at the high end trickles down to help the real people >> reporter: he wants decisions on zoning made locally and for the focus to be on state-subsidized affordable housing built in commercial districts. >> if you look at manhattan or seattle or vancouver, density hasn't made housing affordable >> reporter: mayor arreguin believes it will >> this is a four-unit property and as you can see it really fits into the neighborhood that it's in >> reporter: he and berkeley's entire city council are pushing to end single-family zoning to allow for more multiplexes like this, hoping more housing throughout the bay area - >> i feel sad that the place that i envisioned living my life, raising my kids, that that isn't going to happen. >> reporter: -- will mean fewer tough decisions for families like the finches >>

the white house wants it. the house of representatives passed it. overwhelmingly with democratic support. and how it's time for the senate to do its job. hr-1 is the north star. it's what we need in this moment to get big money out of politics. to retroactively overcede, super cede what's happen agent the state level and bring d.c. statehood to a reality to stop marginalizing 700,000 voters in washington d.c. this is our moment to get it done and the senate has to do its job. you're right, the president needs to lead out front and be vocal. >> define what you mean. the president's support is there. he named the vice president who presides over the senate to be the point person on voting reform. the votes aren't there in the senate today. what specifically do you think the president of the united states should be doing or perhaps should have already done to at least try to make a difference? >> well, the president was in the senate for a very long time. as was the vice president. the same way just last week we were able to bring -- to make juneteenth

in fact come in during his is time at the white house. so this is a remarkable period of changing he seems to be really the first modern president because he understands that capturing the imagination of the american people is really a pr exercise and he needs to reach out to them in order to get congress to do something or in order to you know, extend american power throughout the world. so roosevelt is a revolutionary figure for the white house. not just because he names it but because he reshapes the office itself. well, we're going to take some questions like from i see them coming in from a lot of the people watching. but first we have another. special bit of insight from one of the brightest stars that i know at the white house historical association. it's senior historian, dr. matthew costello, and he's going to talk just for a moment about the remarkable influence that teddy roosevelt had on the white house itself. good evening. my name is dr. matthew costello, and i vice president of the david m reubenstein national center for wh

will be a little hard for us to get house if it'll get even more expensive if they do that. i don't know what they are thinking. >> the realtor said new construction is such a small amount of the county's housing inventory that it likely won't have a huge ripple effect but it's such a tight housing market any limit is sure to make a difference. until the particulars are decided those remain to be seen. >> i know it'll cause a lot of problems for a lot of people. i think at this point in the history of california we have to just bite the bullet and do what needs to be done to preserve water. >> this isn't the first ban or proposed ban of it's kind. there have been several. a couple in the 70's and one that went from the late 80's into the 90's. considering california's record with drought there's no telling how long it would last and potentially how long that new ban would last. those are all details they will have to hammer out tonight. >>> for continuing coverage of the drought check out the website. you can find water restrictions and conditions by zip code at kpix.com/dro

white house relations? >> i think we have a nice transition as we talk about civil matters because one of the functions of attorney general is obviously controlling criminal prosecution and enforcement matters, also defending the u.s. another statutory function of attorney general is providing legal advice within the executive branch about what the legal position would be an ultimately supervised by the president takes care that the laws are faithfully executed. for a long time now attorney general advice giving function has been delegated to assistant attorney general legal counsel so in that literacy informally and through formal opinions provide authoritative legal advice about various government actions and other questions that would emerge mostly outside of court proceedings. that also includes executive orders which we must review and sign off on before they are issued as well as other presidential decisions, some of which national security context, some of which is a variety of other context so with

and then take back the white house. and look, a lot of these people you just mentioned, governor desantis included has been a very good friend of mine. i served in congress with him. he is doing a phenomenal job in florida. i appreciate his support for texas in our fight for the border. he will send dozens of officers over to help governor abbott try to secure this border. and look, let me just say this, the left is always going to be after donald trump and they're always going to be after the republican party. and i what i would ask when will the left hold their own party accountable? they never seem, has to be the a double standard. elizabeth: we hear you. let's listen to former president trump at the rally on saturday. watch this. >> after just five months the biden administration is already a complete and total catastrophe. [booing] i told you. crime is surging murders are soaring, police departments are being gutted, illegal aliens are overrunning their borders. joe biden is destroying our nation right before our v

they have the same problem in the house. we will do this only if you promise in advance that you'll be with us when you come back. >> manchin says no way and then they say if he's not going to do it, i'm not going to do it. this is really a deal that needs a deal, in order to be able to get the deal. and this is what president biden and his team now have to unpack. and maybe, maybe his 3 1/2 decades in the senate will help him understand how you begin to negotiate the diplomacy of something like this. certainly he can help them to allow to have a test vote that would allow them to go on the board with what they want to do and message about it but that is different than getting the votes and even if you could use reconciliation, even if joe manchin would agree that reconciliation would be an option you still need 51 votes. i'm just not -- we're all watching the same show since january 20th. >> i was going to say, they have to remake schoolhouse rock if you need a deal to get a deal to get a deal. that was not in there. >> i t

he went to his house, to kill him. he tried to shoot joe, but it's gotten would not go off, so he repeatedly stabbed him. shawn says his father was even able to recite joe's last words. >> he said, i got kids, i think i'm dying. >> according to shawn, randy sr. wore his brand-new white sneakers during the murder. >> he said, they were not white when i was done with them. >> shawn painted a very different picture of his dad and his brother had. shawn said his dad was a violent man. >> my father used to beat me, like really beat me. >> with a violent past. >> my father is known to be one of the craziest guys you have ever met. the used to call him rampage, scar face, because he had a scar. >> he says his father has been trying to scam joe morrissey out of money, by breaking light switches at the rented town now, ends by faking a slip and fall injury so he could sue joe. >> so, falling down the stairs was a bunch of -- >> yes. >> despite all of that, shawn says his brother, who he describes as having the mind of a child,

so i have a lot of contact with the white house and in particular the white house counsel's office but i want to make it clear that when i said at w the outset enforcement matters are really in the hands and included civil in those i did not include civil. and with civil litigation. my view was and is a position in the supreme court and with those key issues of policy and to have a o disagreement with that issue because it is an important prerogative for a president to say i don't think it would be challenging this law or i do or we should. and with those policy implications. and with those enforcement matters. and with thoset civil cases. when i was at the department those high profile to with those executive orders and those how best to do that and at the doj or the white house or the courts are elsewhere. co elsewhere. so steve, why don't we throw it over to you. the office of legal counsel is a really, really important office in terms of the operation of the executive branch, and you just finished up in that job. obviously had a lot of high-profile issues. how would you describe th

gorbachev says the house looks like a museum and i prefer a house that looks like a home. so each of them is trying to figure out what the other is like. >> well let's keep with that theme there's nancy reagan and another important woman, and that's the secret lady of the of the second lady of the united states barbara bush. so describe that for us. >> they could not stand each other. nancy reagan, was not that fond of the bushes in general. so the two of them the general public to know about it at the time but in washington is not a well kept secret and barbara bush is also good at digging that at dishing it out sorry. and the fact that, nancy reagan refuses to invite them to the princess diana and prince charles dinner. which was the glittering event of the reagan presidency. and her advisers keep going back, and say mrs. reagan we should invite the vice president. and nancy reagan would say no. i think there was a number of things and i asked this question over and over again, and i think that for both of them they never really got past the bitterness of the 1980 republ

and if i know the whole house wish the team the very best of luck on saturday, the whole house will wish them the best of luck on saturday, i'm sure. mr. speaker, why did the prime minister sack the former health secretary on friday morning? >> mr. speaker, we had -- i read the story along with you and everybody else on friday. we had a new health secretary by saturday, mr. speaker, which i think given that we have a pandemic, i think to move from one health secretary with that speed was fast, mr. speaker. but it wasn't as fast as the vaccine rollout, mr. speaker. which is now -- half of the under 30s, mr. speaker, have now had their first jab, and that is speed. >> [inaudible] >> mr. speaker, what a ridiculous answer. the prime minister must be the only person in the country who can look at that photo on friday morning and thought that the health secretary shouldn't be sacked immediately. on saturday the prime minister's spokesperson said, quote, the prime minister considers the matter closed. [laughter] defend the indefensible. it was -- that was prime minister was quite happy -- [laug

this is my father's house, the house of freedom man. my father lived in this house for 8 years. from the 40s until 48 with his mother. he was chased out of the house like most of the palestinians because they wanted to confirm the statement of them. i hear that this is a country, a land without peoples. but all these people who are living in these homes in the 1998. nathan. yeah. who came into governance and as he's a money, money maker and many money lover, he wants to privatize palestinian houses in the same time as israeli telecom, and, and electricity water, all these elements which, which can be privatized, so that he can gain more money. my father's house was sold for $4000000.00 by the cut plan, who is a real estate agent who came from america. ah, ah, neither my mother nor my son agree to the fact that i'm very passionately and emotionally involved in. in the past. you can see that kenny didn't even come with me because he said he wants to avoid all these emotion and issues. when i came here last time, man. from outside, i was taking a photo, the people inside the house.

, the white house. the president is more than able to take his own approach but i believe we also have to talk about this in the same piece, which is the house. i believe in the house house democrats are committed to making sure that, and senator cassidy's words, that infrastructure is centered on women. in addition to a bridge, you need a babysitter. it is important that we pass a reconciliation bill and family plan that expands childcare, that lowers the cost of medicare , that supports families in the economy. >> would you like the president to issue a veto threat on the bipartisan deal if the reconciliation package does not come to fruition? >> i think what is really important is it is important for the president to know that house progressives -- i believe the democratic caucus is here to ensure he does not fail and is successful in making sure we do have a larger infrastructure plan. while we can welcome this work and cooperation with republicans , republicans are more than welcome to join so we c

we have ltgbq roles throughout the white house. we are not just around to fulfill that nature of a role. we have a variety of different experiences in other areas. and this administration has been purposeful about placing those people, those experts at lgbtq-plus in the right positions. and making sure that's the way we are approaching our goals and ideals when it comes to equity and fairness. not just yes to the people that we have there, but to what they bring to the table. >> americans watching at home, especially young people. so brave. want you to know that the president has your back. >> why was it important for the president to not just show he supports the community through appointments but to use those words in such -- in his first big speech as president to the nation? >> these are words that we have never heard come out of a president's mouth specifically in an order like that one. we've seen the violence against transgender people for years. we saw the violence against transjendzer immigrants coming into our country. an

>> well, i'm going to tell you, first of all, that there are two houses of congress and the house is the house of the people and we do have our right to talk about what we are going to need. so i feel very strongly that that is the case. there are a number of things that are very important to the midwest and to people across the country that i believe are going to have to be part of some kind of bill. if we can't get them through the senate in a bipartisan way, and i'm always for bipartisanship when we can do it, we have no choice but to look at reconciliation. i'm someone that believes long-term care is critical. i introduced a bill with senator bob casey last thursday that i very much hope will be part of that. electric vehicles, there's not a significant amount of money really in the bipartisan proposal. although i might add we haven't even seen what the bipartisan proposal is. but we are going to a future vehicle, we've got to be doing much more there. so i do believe that the house has got to write its own bill and we have our own priority. >> fair enough. i guess the question t

house of representatives.] the speaker: the house will be in order. the prayer will be offered by chaplain kibben. chaplain kibben: would you pray with me. god our guide, we pray this day that you would go before us as we head into the business that awaits. and as we proceed may we see your hand in both the ordinary as well as the exceptional. reveal to us your intent as we attend to the simple things and make us ever mindful that as inconsequential as they may seem, over even the least of these you have authority. unveil your will as we address the substantial items and remind us that through the significant decisions made by this body, you remain sovereign. make us keenly aware of your claim on each and every member of this house and those who labor alongside them in these haloed -- hallowed halls and beyond. that we all would be faithful in our service to you even as we serve the people. holy god, remain with us on the journey you have set before us. never leave or foresake us. but abide with us as we seek to walk in owe bidens to you this day. it

for more, let's bring in our white house reporter. tell us a little bit about the proposal that president biden pitched out there today. josh: he focused a lot on the significance of the moment and rightly so. this is the first time a sitting president has gone to tulsa to mark the anniversary of the massacre, but he did tease out some policy differences or changes, i guess you could say. in particular around the appraisal, the black folks in america often find their homes appraised at lower values than homes -- then similar homes owned by white people. similar discrepancy for car insurance in neighborhoods that are mostly black compared to neighborhoods mostly white. details are still to come on this. we do not know how publicly or how tangibly biden's actions will ramp up on this, but he is passing this as a way to tackle the black wealth gap in america, and mentioning that black homeownership has fallen of late instead of risen. joe: he made a point of identifying the difficult mess for him in the senate. saying it is 50/50, there

julian castro, the fair housing goal was simply to enforce the fair housing act which makes it illegal to discriminate housing sales for venting on the basis of race. again, that was on the book a long time and it's not controversial. but that law also requires local jurisdiction is to receive money to take steps to affirmatively further the goal of eliminating race discrimination in housing. this is a complex wordplay, but here's what it means. under the obama administration, one important step further. according to julian castro, the existence of "concentrated poverty and urban centers as opposed to rural centers is de facto evidence of discrimination." as long as there is a place that is poorer than where you live, where you live is racist. on the basis of that assumption, they move forward and local jurisdictions were told to eliminate single-family zoning and increase density and if thew didn't comply, they might lose millions of dollars in community development block grants. that was a very radical step anl most americans were unaware was even happening handed people wht live out

i now we can do it in the house. i spent some of today talking to my democratic and reasonable republican colleagues on the house caucus about what a bipartisan compromise might look like, and i think we are very close to something that would be acceptable to me as a democrat. you know, i think the sticking point probably will be how we pay for it. you know, we have some republicans who refuse to touch anything related to the 2017 tax bill, as if that was something sacred. some have rejected even president biden's incredibly reasonable proposal to leave those tax rates in place for corporations, but simply say every corporation should at least pay those tax rates, at a minimum 15% tax. so we're going to need some give from the republicans on that because you know what? we want to be responsible, we want to pay for this. we don't want to just add billions of dollars more to the national debt. that used to be their issue. we are trying to be responsible now. but, again, i think we can get there. >> i note you said reas

that's our section that's dedicated to our housing crisis, our housing challenges here. we update it every day with stories exploring the housing issues and possible solutions. you can find it at nbcbayarea.com/making it in the bay. >>> our question of the day, what has your experience been trying to buy a home here? we post our daily question on twitter, instagram, and facebook. pro-man says, sold my home in santa clara, moved to colorado, and could have bought three newer, nicer, and larger homes outright. less taxes, lower utilities, fresh air and a lot less people. steven says his experience is nonexistent because i don't have the cash to put down a feasible down payment that won't make me house-poor. many responses echoed this one. i'll let you know when i'm 196 years old. that's when i'll have the down payment ready to go. and several others asked, what's a house? it's a challenge to be living here. >>> another big topic tonight, the delta variant. dr. fauci and other top doctors are sending a warning about it. so should we be worried in the bay area, and how are v

my house is our house, my dream is our dream, my land is our land. however, when we say our house, we also carry the responsibility of not only the hopeful future but the past so that our dreams do not -- are not at the expense of others and that's what it means to be a community. so in the spirit i would like to share this house blessing by poet jan richardson and acknowledging this is on the ancestrial home lapped of the aloney people who are the or not inhabitants. think of the year as a house, door swung wide and welcome, threshold swept and waiting a grace spaciousness, opening and offering itself to you. let it be blessed in every room, let the it be hollowed in every corner. let every nook in the refuge and every object set to holy youth, let it be here that safety will rest, let it be here that health will make its home, let it be here that peace will show its face and let it be here that love will find its way, here let the weary come and let the aching come, let the lost come and let them find rest and find their soothing and let them find

the house speaker in missouri asked her to redesign her seat. patricia derges took that request into careful consideration and said, no, thank you, please. she emailed the house speaker to say she would not be resigning. in that email she said, my attorney is excellent and has this handled. turns out the situation was not handled. since we last checked in on this story, federal prosecutors have unveiled more charges against patricia derges. this time in a superseding indictment, they said she also defrauded the local government out of $300,000 in covid relief funds. prosecutors say she misled county officials into reimbursing her for giving covid tests to patients in missouri, even though those patients had already paid her for those tests out of pocket. she has pled not guilty to those charges, as well. but like i said, patricia derges is still serving as a republican state legislators in the missouri state house. republicans did remove her from all of her committee assignments. they also voted to expel her out of the house republican caucus. a
