did michigan lose population i'm about 10 million people live in michigan currently. why is michigan losing a seat? >> thanks for having me today. the reason it is sluggish growth truly michigan saw an increase in population, but not as big as other states and so michigan joined the other states in the region that lost a seat. >> where is the population lost in the state and how will that affect the redistricting? >> great question that population has been shifting in the state and we saw the biggest loss in the detroit area. detroit is to be the booming city where most of the people used to live in the state and that is still the case, but it has reduced its number by 300, 400,000 people in the last decade. we have seen a shift from detroit to west michigan where we say grand rapids, kalamazoo and another area may be becoming more hip and more welcoming to those people moving into the state. >> does that favor the republicans with detroit losing population it in western michigan gaining it. >> not necessarily.ea at the end of the day people are moving into west michi

count michigan. count michigan. demand a transparent forensic audit. and when you heard that gentlemen say there is that the new republican platform should be based around this. which is basically true, right? this is what the republican -- the republican county or statewide elected officials of your choice is likely running on next year. if you want to get votes from the trump supporting base of the republican party, you have to support there being these investigations of the last election. you have to do one of the fake audits. you have to commit to the idea that the 2020 election was fraudulent and stolen. and you'll stop the next election from being stolen. because, otherwise, why vote, right? if the machines are all hacked by democrats and, you know, dead economist dictators. what's the point? we'll all stay home unless you republican candidate commit -- commit to the fantasy that trump somehow secretly won the last election and it's all by big cover-up. meanwhile, republicans across michigan really are very quietly stacking local elections boards

let's go michigan. don't let us down. just in case you thought donald trump might be shining away from encouraging his supporters to rally a capital buildings, or otherwise we won't have a country anymore. in case you thought he might think -- in messages like this. after what happened with the january 6th rally, remember? everyone needs to come to d.c., it will be wild. it's not shining away from it now. why would you try from anything right now? even as the election conspiracy spreads further, and stronger, even as a supporters get together on taking over the election infrastructure in key states. even if he calls his supporters to rally on the steps of state capitol, his support from the mainstream of the republican party in all of this is only growing and becoming more harm margin is. he held this rally in iowa this evening about election fraud and forensic audit, and the election being stolen from him, just as not as ever only now it's not just a my pillow guy. and really giuliani running down -- kraken -- and republ

i have statewide jurisdiction criminally in the state of michigan. we also have a three county prosecutors in the state. we know that making abortion illegal does not stop abortions from happening, it makes them incredibly unsafe. what it means is we will go back to the days before 1973 when women routinely died each and every day from illegal abortions that were not safe or properly performed by medical staff. as a result, what we will see in my state again is that women will be pushed back into back alleys. it is not just the medical providers that were prosecuted. often times was the women who were having these procedures even the they are allegedly the victims of these crimes. what would occur is they would refuse to testify. it was my pledge that because i am committed to supporting and securing the health, welfare and safety of women all across my state that i would not be prosecuting these cases. i would be working in concert with the democrat prosecuting attorneys to make sure that women would be able to have safe abortions where they would n

from north carolina, minnesota, massachusetts, and michigan. this is a really important time because we have 25 attorney general's that are part of our democratic attorneys general. we also have 30 races up in 2022. there are a lot of issues on the line and i want to make sure everyone has a little bit of background of what we're doing today and how we are able to frame the conversation. >> the world has witnessed how crucial the work of ag offices was during the prosecution of former police officer derek chauvin. ag ellison, could you describe the accountability and efforts for the family of george floyd last year? tragic incident last year and the broader lessons of carrying out a successful prosecution? >> where everyone wants to see is the investigation and prosecution be objective and independent. people feel does not always the case. when my office -- as opposed to some other -- prior relationship or other political issue. we stepped in to help. in minnesota, the governor asked to point us or the county has to ask us to come in. both occu

state attorneys general's from michigan, and massachusetts. this runs 45 minutes. >> we have our generals on our panel here from north carolina from minnesota, massachusetts and michigan. for us this is a really important time. we also have 30 races that are up in 2022 and because of that, there's a lot of issues on the line so i just want to make sure everyone has a little bit of background on what we are doing today and how we are able to find some of the conversation so we will be talking to our attorney generals. we've witnessed how crucial the work was during the prosecution. can you please describe the effort and accountability and what specific abroad lessons carrying out a successful osprosecutions. >> everybody wants to see the investigation and prosecution be objective and independent and i peoplet. do have the sense that maybe that is not always the case. when my office was brought in it was brought in because people wanted to know no matter what the charges are, or they based on the law and the facts as opposed to some prior relati

that's what we have seen in michigan. that's why we were able to implement all of the reforms from voting from home to election day registration to automatic voter registration within a year of my taking office because it was voters themselves who said we want them, on both sides of the aisle. it's voters themselves who will stand up in the long term and short term to protect those access points to vote. they know how beneficial it is regardless where you live or who you vote for. carolyn: that's a very good point. i'm glad you brought up that ballot measure. i think it leads to a natural point about sort of the atmospheres in which you all work. i mentioned you are from different states with different sets of election laws. in michigan you are dealing with a g.o.p.-controlled legislature which makes a big difference in terms of what you are able to accomplish. the rest of you have democratic majority legislatures. love to see it. you are probably going to come at this from a different perspective. would love to hear from

the michigan house that are seeking to roll back those voting rights. when you couple that, the ballot initiative drive that seeks to undermine the will of the voters of the state of michigan from 2018 to make voting more accessible, what we're seeing is republicans want fewer people to vote in michigan and want it to be more difficult for people to vote in the state of michigan. if it happens it's in drekts response to that record voter turnout we saw in the 2020 election, the most secure election we've had, republicans didn't like the result, so they want to make it harder to vote as a result of that. >> lieutenant governor barnes, one scenario is with full republican control of state government, legislature and the governor that they could basically give the governor the power to reject the electors who were the electors for the winning candidate in that state, and then send to congress, send to the electoral college a different set of electors who would vote in a different way. >> well, of course we should expect in the -- they've been shameless in

joseph, michigan, and benton harbor, michigan, you're talking about two different worlds. john: pinkney points to a long history of manufacturing decline and so-called white flight that's left benton harbor struggling with few resources and a crumbling infrastructure. that history may be why outrage seems common among benton harbor residents, but surprise does not. reverend pinkney: environmental racism right here, we're looking at it. look around you. and i always talk about how different things would be if it was a white community. you know, they would call in the army, fema. joe biden would be here. you know, all of this would happen. but, by being a black neighborhood, they really don't care. john: meanwhile, residents like carmela patton are still paying for water they're being told not -- they can't drink. carmela: and i got a call down there, starting with the city manager, called them. why are we paying for bad water? nobody returned the phone call, e-mail or anything. and the bills is pretty high. john: meanwhile, benton harbor is racing to replace all 6,000 of it

but here in the state of michigan they'd like to see zero. so right now what is happening and across the city, having to do it for some time, they are handing out water to residents so people can get water, advising them not to drink the water at least for now and to not use it for cooking and other pi purposes. but it is slowly coming back. the governor had announced previously a plan to replace all the pipes here. monday she announced they were going to do an expedited process to get those pipes replaced within 18 months. she's asked the legislature for the rest of the money to do that on an expedited basis. the legislature will take that up. one committee in the legislature, which is republican, the governor is a democrat, they've asked for an investigation now into the governor and what her administration knew about the situation in benton harbor all the way along. back to you. >> miguel marquez, appreciate it. joining us is the mayor of benton harbor michigan, marcus mohamed. good to have you with us. as miguel lays out all of the issue

university of michigan's museum of paleontology confirmed that the tooth is real. belonging to an ancient mastodon. >> it's like 10,000 to 12,000 years. >> reporter: the museum saying julian is likely the first person to touch the tooth ever. you thought this maybe could be worth some money? >> yeah. >> reporter: and is it? >> no. >> reporter: maybe not worth the big bucks he'd hoped for, but the bragging rights at school, priceless. >> i showed them that i had some kind of -- i bringed it in one day, and all their minds actually fell off their heads. >> reporter: researchers have already gone back to the area where julian found the tooth, hoping to find more mastodon material, but their search turning up empty, and julian's already decided he wants excavating tools for christmas this year. >> my mom's going to get me my own pick ax. >> reporter: a kid-friendly pick ax, no doubt. julian is donating his epic find to the museum and he'll meet with the paleontologist there for a behind the scenes tour and is also trying to convince the nature preserve to rename dinosa

good for michigan. good for decision-making and policy. that is what we want, we are not afraid of the process. democrats are trying to expand voting, not scheme and suppress it. that's the only idea the republicans have, is to make it harder for people to vote. so fewer people can participate so they can sneak in these kinds of reforms anyway that can let their imagination run wild and take rights away from people. it's un-american, it's undemocratic, and it's unacceptable. >> lieutenant governor mandela barnes, i think we used to think that turnout was the cure for everything. that if you could get a massive voter turnout on your side, than any irregularities that you my bumped into my disappear, but these people seem determined to be willing to ignore whatever the vote counting is, no matter what kind of winning margin you might deliver, these people, and certainly donald trump, would be happy to use the legal means to reverse that outcome. >> not only just the use illegal means, but assume, or pretend that a legal means we're used to g

here at lake michigan, the water is lead free. it picks up the lead as it course is through the cities aging pipe. so there's water everywhere. it's just not safe to drink. so far, the city has promises of $18000000.00 of the $28000000.00 it will take to replace all of its lead supply pipes. it will have to find the remaining $10000000.00 somewhere to finish the project on time. in 2023, john 100 al jazeera benton harbor, michigan. when i speak to elan worn, ben cancel about this. she's joining us from detroit and his a founder and owner of safe water engineering, a consulting firm. very good to have you with us. this of course has echoes of the kind water crisis a few years ago. what wise want a contamination such a big, big problem in michigan? but we have a lot of leg service lines in michigan, and we're one of the largest states with lead service lines in the united states. we estimate there about $500000.00 lead service lines here. and in baton harbor, we don't have a great inventory, but we think that most of the homes there

it's katie, fe, he and what she did in michigan. and the story of how she martialed hundreds of thousands of volunteers to fix gerrymandering in a state where the system was dysfunctional and completely broken up. so it is a pleasure to be on here with a democracy hero as well as another democracy hero and walter. so, so i would say this, i, i think one of the examples that speaks to how problematic gerrymandering can be, is north carolina's 11th district in the, in the western mountain part of the state, which throughout the 2 thousands was a really interesting swing district. it went back and forth between republicans and democrats as political wins shifted up in 2010 republicans won the control of north carolina state legislature and the power to redraw those lines. they were determined to draw themselves at $103.00 map in the state, and in order to do so, they had to crack ashville in half. they to draw a line through the middle of the biggest city in western north carolina and they attached it to, to conservative, wider areas.

joseph, michigan and benton harbor, michigan, you're talking about two different worlds. >> yang: pinkney points to a long history of manufacturing decline and so-called “white flight” that's left benton harbor struggling with few resources and a crumbling infrastructure. that history may be why outrage seems common among benton harbor residents, but surprise does not. >> environmental racism right here. we're looking at it. look around you, you know, and i'll always talk about how differenthings would be if it was a white community. you know, they're calling the army, fema, the pentagon, joe biden to be here. you know, all of this would happen. but by being a black neighborhood, they really don't care. >> yang: meanwhile, residents like carmela patton are still paying for water they're being told not to drink. >> and i've called down there, starting with the city manager, why are we paying for bad water? nobody returned the phone call. and the bills is pretty high. >> yang: meanwhile, benton harbor is racing to replace all 6,000 of benton harbor's lead service pipes in the next 18 mo

folks, here in michigan, you all know the cost of extreme weather. all of you remember the flooding this summer that shut down parts of i-96. the power outages and tornado warnings. they're costing the state billions of dollars. nationally, last year, last year, because of extreme weather, cost america $99 billion. $99 billion, taxpayers. i went all over the country. out west with the fires. you know, more has burned down in the northwest than the entire state of new jersey. that's how much we've lost. you see what's happened with the droughts that are out there. you see reservoirs that are down 30, 40, 50 feet. worried about cooling down. worried about you're going to have what the colorado river's going to do. this is a big deal. this is gigantic. and we're not going to ease up. we're not going to ease up on any of this. we have to invest in resilience. resilience. you saw texas, the entire power grid went down. because they had no resilience. the ability to build back and build things stronger. why a lot of those fires in the far west? because gue

. >> the trip to michigan and why he decided to do that? >> tomorrow he will be traveling to michigan, it is a state that would benefit greatly from the bipartisan ever structure package and the build back better agenda, to give you a couple of examples. michiganders spent an extra 67% of their time commuting because of the need for updating infrastructure. this is something that impacts people across the state every day. almost 10% of people in michigan don't have broadband access. that is something that will help level the playing field for people, whether in urban or rural communities. 44% of people in michigan live in childcare deserts. these are issues addressed by both of these packages. there are more details and we are happy to provide more into tomorrow, but this is a state that could benefit greatly from the president's agenda. he wants to talk about the components and the pieces of these bills that will make lives better, even as we are having important conversations about the legislative logistics. >> thank you. for internationa

thank you. >> we have michigan, maryland, concerns about jamie wondering and votes. your recommendation for getting involved? >> i am not surprised. redistricting is at the front of people's minds. they are more familiar with this topic than ever before. we do not usually get involved in community engagement, but i'm sure that there are organizations within your state that work on redistricting that you could reach out to. i will throw out a couple organizations that i know are engaged. common cause is engaged in redistricting. the cato institute -- they have national outreach. in addition, you can also reach out to particular parties. the parties have what can get people engaged. at this point, they provide organizing or advice to people on how they should redistrict. we advise people on the policies that go into redistricting, so that those drawing the lines have the best possible. >> concerns about gerrymandering always comes up, but do you think that those concerns are increasing in recent years? have concerns over gerrymandering than bigger than they are right n

. >> martha: i have to go because we're going to michigan. i would imagine that your committee has jurisdiction of oversight over the state department that the secretary of state tony blinken promised that he would bring the rest of the people home. that's his job. would you be investigating that? staying on that? >> we're actively investigating that. whistle-blowers have come to the committee. we requested documents. so we will be conducting as a primary jurisdiction this investigation. >> he made that promise to those people and as i said, it's under his purview. so we'll be watching closely to see when and if that happens. thanks very much, congressman mccaul. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: so president biden is in michigan right now after d.c. basically froze out his giant spending bill. so he's trying to raise some momentum outside the beltway. we'll take you there next. lots more to come on "the story" after this. or psoriatic arthritis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the way they exaggerate the surpr

, he's gone to michigan more than once on this same subject, why michigan? why is that one of his favorite places to go, for this subject? >> well, michigan is reflective of the country. it was the state that donald trump won five years ago now, four years ago. which i predict a bit everybody thought i was crazy. it's a state that he, won in 2020. we have people that look at issues, and they think about them thoughtfully, we have people on both sides, how -- not the heartland of democratic territory, as a matter of fact it has a lot of people supporting donald trump. but that series got. ago he's gotta go and talk to the american people, about what he is planning to do, lay out that vision, and that's how we're going to get this done. >> what is the right mix for the president now, between these meetings he's having, with sometimes individual senators, sometimes with groups of house members. in going out there in speeches like the speech today? >> it's a combination, first of all, you heard me and i said this for a number of weeks, i thought they were only h

you've been listening to biden speaking in michigan. let's bring in jeff zeleny, traveling with the president in michigan. jeff, why is the president taking his message on the road? >> jake, simply to rise above the noise in washington. the president clearly making the case for the substance of both of these bills. first, infrastructure. talking specifically about the need for the u.s. to stay competitive with the world. needs to improve the country's infrastructure and talking about his education programs, health care, climate change and the like. it is similar to a speech we could have heard joe biden deliver a year ago here in battleground michigan. he delivered these speeches on the campaign trail. he announced these initiatives in the spring. summer has gone by. now we're into the fall. simply the white house is trying to refocus the nation on his agenda items. he said it's not left versus right. not progressives versus moderate but, in fact, it is that. in fact, democrats have very slim majorities in the house and the senate. so t

she said michigan hit a low water level in 2013 and swung wildly tos rdechsor normal for lakes to rise and fall. how is that cycle changing? >> the highs are getting higher and the lows are getting lower. i'm most concerned about flooding and sewage contaminating the drinking water supply for millions of people. >> reporter: the city of milwaukee sits on lake michigan, and the local sewer district is now tearing out these concrete stormwater channels built in the 1960s that can no longer handle the intense rain events. they are restoring the more natural flow to try to slow down the water to keep it from flooding nearby homes and to keep sewage from pouring into lake michigan if the system gets overwhelmed. >> the city's infrastructures aren't really built to deal with these kind of rainfall extremes. and so we need to figure out how to manage this water and to adapt to the future. >> reporter: of course, the great lakes do not lack for water. they hold 84% of north america's surface freshwater supply. air temperatures in the region are predicted to increase by up to 11 degrees by the

there was a law passed that the people of michigan actually tried to repeal basically saying that if your city is in financial distress, the governor can put somebody in charge to make your decisions. and you didn't elect that person. the people in michigan gather a bunch of petition signatures, they repeal this law, the newly jerry mander legislature, their 1st acts and they do is they find a loophole and reinstate that law. that law and that decision ends up switching the water source for a primarily minority community, flint, michigan to a different water source that ends up poisoning the entire city with lead in their water. and me being recently out of college driving to work every day, hearing about the flint water crisis and basically just listening to politicians. point the finger one at another. no, it was your fault. no is your fault. and nobody taking accountability. i just like clinic keep going to work knowing that nobody was trying to prevent the next flint water crisis and that our current re districting process offered no accountability . so i made that facebook post,

it's katie fe, he and what she did in michigan. and the story of how she marshall hundreds of thousands of volunteers to fixed gerrymandering in a state where the system was dysfunctional and completely broken up. so it is a pleasure to be on here with a democracy hero as well as another democracy hero and walter. so, so i would say this, i, i think one of the examples that speaks to how problematic germ entering can be is north carolina's 11th district. in the, in the western mountain part of the state, which throughout the 2 thousands was a really interesting swing district. it went back and forth between republicans and democrats as political wins shifted up in 2010 republicans won the control of north carolina state legislature in the power to redraw those lines. they were determined to draw themselves at 13 map in the state, and in order to do so, they had to crack asheville, and half they to draw a line through the middle of the biggest city in western north carolina. and they attached it to, to conservative, wider areas. and

here at lake michigan, the water is lead free. it picks up the lead, as it course is through the cities aging pipes. so there's water everywhere. it's just not safe to drink. so far the city has promises of $18000000.00 of the $28000000.00 it will take to replace all of its lead supply pipes. it will have to find the remaining 10000000 somewhere to finish the project on time in 2023. and john is in benson hall, but in michigan. hi there, john. you're there at a water distribution center, but it's not the water going through the lead pipes is bottled water. i guess that's a daily, perhaps even a couple of times per day. regular thing for the people that as right, people are coming here at the moment. we're at god's household of faith church and they're getting a couple of cases, a piece of water to supply them through the next day. some people are doing this every day because every day water is being distributed and we've watched here where they've opened about a half hour early and hundreds of cars have gone through thousands of b
