in south carolina that was ground 0, south carolina, had a majority in the house of representatives. it was as black as black could get. that scared the bee gees is not only out of the confederates, white liberal people in the north, ladies and gentlemen, nobody thought always black people were going to vote. south carolina, mississippi and louisiana were majority black states. south carolina, mississippi, and louisiana were majority black states. georgia, alabama and florida were in the 30s. that was like a mini black republic and it was much too powerful, potentially powerful to allow that to stand so something had to be done. simultaneously between 1870-1877, 16 black men are elected to congress. and and and, and a constant, in 1866 and 1876 that were eight major massacres of black men, eight massive whingeings. with meridian in vicksburg and hamburg. there were lynchings in that tenure period. in the iteration, the thirteenth amendment was ratified in december of 1865, in december of 1865, parallel discourses, simultaneously during the whole period of reconstruction. and and the

south carolina which i love. by the way, joe agreed that if i did this lecture he was going to buy me a house. [laughter] >> a house that i've been looking at and writing about richard. [laughter] >> if i had place down there. oh, i forgot where i was. [laughter] >> louisiana in 1898. in 1998 there were 301,000 black men to vote and after they passed state constitutional convention in 1891, by 1904 that number was under 30,000. had been reduced precisely to 1,342. think about that. that's how devastatingly effective the rollback construction was. one more thing which was the narrative. the narrative, it's not about the civil war. it's not. it's about reconstruction and focuses on the south carolina majority black legislature. they become the metaphor for incompetence, ignorance, one moment in the film where all the black men, they had just passed law making legal for black men to marry white men and that's where the invention and ever wonder why others -- there's not stories about black men raping white women. bl

like in south carolina, you need a license for hanging wallpaper. to be a hairdresser or cosmetologist, people have to pay $20,000 a year because of the regulations we have. not only are these things the what are the state and local regulations that make these more costly and burdensome for families? >> that's an excellent question. today, our audience is made up of chamber leaders in person and virtually. when you think back to the beginning of the pandemic and the bipartisan covid passage, one of the things that commerce -- congress did was provide funding. they addressed regulatory barriers that might have been inhibiting the supply. do we need to look at both sides of this as we think about how we might find common ground of how to move forward on tackling this challenge? >> we certainly have to address supply-side issues. we also have to address the portability side. we just passed this through the committee and i was happy to work with the chamber on the language to make sure that no one pays more than their income. across the country, we are

nancy mace, of course is from south carolina. the first district in the state state of south carolina and not from georgia. i did paraphrase her correctly in that, joe, she was completely against the basic principle of why they were voting against steve bannon. i guess she was saying it was for the reason that the house of representatives has to be available with subpoena power of the house has to be available for republicans that she says is going to take the house back. but really it's the issue of the house of representatives which was attacked. and separation of powers. and the legal authority at the house. joe. >> i think, you know, the fragile nature of our democracy, our republic, is based now on the premise that we're all playing by the same rule book. whether it's democrats, republicans. and when some of this scoffing

south carolina to expand medicaid. and if i knew it i would've done all ready. i don't know what we can do except keep pushing the envelope. keep getting people involved in this. as many people as we can bring into this process but better off we're going to be and just so you know since we've been here i got a notice there's a leadership committee, and so i'm not going to be out of that room for 10:30. because i suspect that i'm not gonna make it. so that's what's on the table right now. what to do my monday morning. on this coverage. and -- will be upset with me if i stayed on here with you, and loses issues in that room. [laughs] . >> frank you so much. >> thank you thank you congressman. . >> so wade let me turn it to you. i would love for you to expand more on why this is so important. particularly the congressman talking about the good fight in the halls of congress. but it would be great for you to explain more. why right now is it so important? >> well let me put it in a context first and i'm happy to answer you

south carolina, we've closed four in the last ten years. i was on with -- yesterday, i think that georgia has closed nine or maybe seven, in oklahoma nine. these rural hospitals would still be open today if these states had expanded medicaid, because the resources that are necessary for people to receive health care, they would get it. we could get individuals. but i cannot think anything more comprehensive than having the hospital close and having people needing to go miles away for health care. i think the same holds true for community health centers. i also have been proposing that we should have a community, federally qualified community health center within commuting distance of everybody in the country. we have to be comprehensive in our approach to this. broadband itself is going to play a big role in this, community health centers with telehealth and telemedicine. all these things are going to be very, very important. and so none of these things can really function unless we have a comprehensive approach to dealing with this. now, w

in south carolina, we've built four in the last 10 years. i was on yesterday and i think that -- these hospitals would still be open today if these states had expanded medicaid. because the resources that are necessary for people to receive health care, they would get it. we could get to individuals, but i cannot think of anything more comprehensive than having a hospital close and people needed to go miles away for health care. i think the same holds true for community health centers. i have also been proposing that we should have a community health center within commuting distance of everybody in the country. we have to be comprehensive in our approach to this. broadband itself is on the plate , with telehealth and telemedicine. all of these things will be important. none of these things can really function unless we have a comprehensive approach to dealing with this. when i think about medicaid and i think about -- i am thinking about -- we were in a conference meeting when we had word come that the supreme court said the affordable care

florida, georgia, texas, alabama, mississippi, north and south carolina all in the deep south. each state has a common history into significant respects. first, these are states with a history of racial discrimination such that until the supreme court spoke on the issue in. [two bells tolling] , literally letting the voting rights act, the states were covid by preclearance provisions of the voting rights act which meant they needed to submit any changes in their collections of procedures to the department of justice. when that protection ended, many of those states immediately adopted additional restrictive voting procedures that to this day have made it harder for people of color to cast ballots in those states. the struggle right now of the passage of the voting rights advancement act and freedom to vote act introduced in the senate relates to the terms of changes we are seeing in election procedures in those states. those states also have a history of adopting restrictive efforts now on access to healthcare. we have seen in texas the adoption of a new restriction on reproduc

have you all been to south carolina [applause] -- south carolina? [applause] we change senators every 50 years whether we need to or not. luckily it was the year before i was born. i got 34 more years to do this. [laughter] i will come on my last year for free again. so let's just talk a little bit about where we are at and where we are going. you all were challenged but you withstood it. the bottom line is liberals hate this. they are trying their best to turn you the other direction, but you seem to be in good shape . -- and ted cruz are wonderful senators. a queue for sending these to the senate -- thank you for sending these guys to the senate. ted and i have scrapped every now and then but usually we are on the same side. i have never met of our dedicated constitutional conservative in my life. he was stalwart when it came to judges. i appreciate them both. speaking of president trump, we weren't, but we are now. when i saw that picture, it scared me, i thought he was here. met want to get used to that cut out. -- you might want to get used to

his wife and son found shot dead outside their south carolina estate. and what we're learning now is that alex murdaugh was a person of interest from the get-go. those are the words from one of his other attorneys, jim griffin, who spoke with cnn affiliate whns. he said alex murdaugh should not be considered a person of interest because his home was never searched, they never found any blood or weapons or forensic evidence. but, look, you know, we should make clooer that alex murdaugh has not been charged in connection to the murders of his wife and son. the south carolina law enforcement division has not publicly said he is a person of interest, jim. >> amara walker, thanks so much for the update. >>> up next this hour, gas prices in the u.s. are up more than a dollar from a year ago when the prices were depressed by the pandemic. crude oil up to a seven-year high now. a look at how the energy crunch is affecting countries around the world just ahead. up to one million dollars. that's how much university of phoenix is committing to create 400 scholarsh

south carolina responded. south carolina tried to get around smith versus all right in various ways that i don't need to get into here they tried to evade smith versus all right. and george elmore, a black man sought to vote. he wasn't permitted to vote and he sued. and a federal court struck down the white primary in south carolina. my father saw. marshall argue the case and he talked a lot about just going to see mister civil rights. he was, he talked about how people in the deep south troubled, something would happen. people would say hold on. there are goods coming. and so i heard about thurgood marshall so when i worked for thurgood marshall it was great. it was a thrill. let me go back a moment. my father was not a lawyer. my father worked atthe post office . he did not really talk much about the legal issue involved in rights versus elmore but he did talk about this. the thing that struck him the most was this will show how you know, has there been changed? my father was struck by the fact that the peop

like in south carolina, you need a license for hanging wallpaper. to be a hairdresser or cosmetologist, people have to pay $20,000 a year because of the regulations we have. not only are these things the federal government looks at, but we should see the state and local regulations that make these things more burdensome for all working families? >> that is a great segue. today our chamber leaders are made up of state and local representatives across the country. when you think back to the beginning of the pandemic and the bipartisan covid passage, one of the things that congress did was provide funding. one of the things that local communities did at the state and local level was that they addressed regulatory barriers that might have been inhibiting the supply of childcare services. do we need to look at both sides of this as we think about how we might find common ground of how to move forward on tackling this challenge? congressman cheryl, is that a way to bounce back from the pandemic? >> we certainly have to address supply-side issues. we also

of those 12 states ar in the deep south. florida, georgia, texas, alabamh and south carolina. with the changes of the election procedures to the department of justice before they could implement. and then the and immediately adopted the voting procedures that to this day made it harder for people of color to cast ballots in the states and the freedom to vote act that was just introduced in the senate that relates to the times and changes we are seeing election procedures. most states have a history of adopting restrictive efforts now on access to healthcare. we have seen for example in texas the adoption of a new restriction on reproductive health, abortion, that is likely to be replicated in states throughout many parts of the south and regions of the country as well. so those things are. so then you have a remarkable presence of african-american and hispanic citizenry. florida and texas and georgia together each has over 100,000 african-americans. and in some other states and african-american and latino are 60 percent of those are denied access to healthcare and only 41 perc

[indiscernible] i hope you enjoy this. [indiscernible] i wanted to get that out of the way. i am from the federal government i am here to help you.

on matters of race, south carolina has a tough history. we all know that. many of us have seen it in our own lives and the lives of our parents and grandparents. we don't need reminders. in spite of last week's tragedy, we have come a long way since those days and have much to be proud of, but there's more we can do. >> there is more to do, she said. worth noting while dylann roof was convicted on federal hate crime charges, he did not face state hate crime charges because south carolina didn't have a hate crimes law and still doesn't. sit one of two states without one. an advertising campaign in south carolina urging residents to report hate crimes. in last night's spaoefrpbgs the former governor who removed the confederate flag from the statehouse grounds only to have that symbol brandished inside the u.s. capitol by rioters this past january, whitewashed the ups and downs of the american experience with racism and the challenges still ahead, all apparently to appeal to the conservative base. nikki haley courting the followers of donald trump who enlisted

if you're in alabama or south carolina you could not go to the university of south carolina or alabama or the university of tennessee because you have to go to historically black colleges, i love historical black colleges lived in the amazing things but the networks and the resources are available are very different you keep compiling on and onto this legacy of discrimination even when it seems to be a mutual and a good program that continues to build a large gap between the wealth accumulation of african-americans and other minorities as well, over time. >> joshua, this question is for you. in your book you were talking about sort of how engraved into proper society these slave traders were. more than one having a nice home in a nice neighborhood that in the courtyard, he would transport them and get ready to make a shipment and he would march them out at night so neighbors did not see it they were very aware of it. they knew that it was there but the one that had worms about it had to ignore that and looking at the supreme court, also could you talk a little bit about that how societ

there's not one road or bridge named after me in south carolina. i've consistently fought the establishment but i was a squish. here's a telling thing. after my loss s the next night i had pre-organized tour in the capital and so i was there with folks from home and giving the tour. i round the corner and who should be there but jeff flake and his wife having a tour as well. so i don't think you've ever lost an election but if you have, they treat you like you have now rigor mortis or terminal illness or somebody close in the family died. everybody that day was solicitous i'm so sorry. so jeff and his wife grabbed me, pulled me aside and we sigot into a conversation and they're like we really wanted to have another term in the senate but we saw the handwriting onthe wall based on what t happened to you . and wedidn't want that . so we're getting out but he said tell me more about the election and i said it was a really weird one. people would come up and say are you for or against trump? i'm neither for or against him, i'm for those ideas and they
