Across the United States. We will speak to members of the Standing Rock sioux and Navajo Nation and go to north dakota, which has the highest covid19 death rate of any state or country in the world. Then democracy now cohost Juan Gonzalez looks at how the Corporate Media missed the real story about latinx voter turnout in the 2020 election. Juan the main story is that in an election which saw historic tnout, people of color, and especially latinos, had an unprecedented increase in voting. And they, not white voters, represented the bulk of that increase.

Too often it is one party power and sticks it to the other party. And then secondly i know you mentioned geographic concerns. We try to putt some other limitations on the map drawing process by requiring districts to be drawn more according to county lines or natural geographic features rather than just these crazy districts that squiggle around. Thats not you know not easy to do but one thing it does is makes it possible impossible for people to be too key yative. Some of the districts are very, very creative and having little bit more limitation on the process, open process about how to redistrict we are for. We werent willing to go as some people say to go to california or arizona which have models which are more completely out of the political process. They have turned it over to citizens. They dont want the legislature or the parties involved. Our commission really believed that having both parties have a say in those maps made sense but we did agree with you in many ways redistri

All right. John fortier the budget. We with respect taking positions like wars and entitlement. Those are functions for congress to address. I think if youre getting at the budget process, thats something we made recommendations about and the Bipartisan Policy Center has additional recommendations out of an economic
District in the state of utah, approximately 90 public land. I am the legislator in the Grand Staircase monument which encompasses a huge area so i have a pretty good knowledge of this. I one time worked as a Land Management special met specialist with the bureau of Land Management and was working on projects when the Grand Staircase was created. I am very interested in the calls this morning and i hope we can get our point across of why we think downsizing bears heirs and the Grand Staircase is good for the people of utah and us as people,ow who live in the sovereign state of utah, that we can have the money we need to educate our children, take care of our health care system, and provide the income. I have heard a lot of comments this morning about how these lands are free and there is no taxes on them. That is because of the fact that the people in the state of utah get almost no money in terms of tax based on these lands, which has put us in a position, unfortunate position to be o
