into state court. that is not an independent constitutional obligation that texas is under. it doesn't have to fly blind, as far as the collateral effects of what kinds of challenges received when it decides how to structure a law. >> it does >> but it does have an obligation to follow, to respect people's federal constitutional rights. >> absolutely, your honor. again -- >> so if it's attempting to stifle those rights, chill their exercise and keep plaintiffs away from a 1983 action and ex parte young liability, you say there is nothing wrong with that? >> your honor, the limits of section 1983 and ex parte young 'availability, specifically 1983, congress could ex tend ex parte young, are a matter of congress. the idea that texas would design a tort statute or liability that takes that in mind and says these cases have to go through the state tort system. for that matter, appellate judges in text, follow this court's precedents fully and faithfully. texas does not suppress any substantive right by say

consider them as acting in concert with the state to ep force a state-preferred policy? mr. stone: two points, your honor. first, every tort action undoubtedly advances a state preferred policy. the reason why they're not acting in concert with or cannot be called agents -- justice thomas: well, but usually, when you think of traditional torts, there is a duty, there's an injury to the individual. it's a private matter. there is no requirement here that there be an injury to the plaintiff. mr. stone: your honor, the texas supreme court has followed article iii requirements in terms of injury in fact that doesn't need to appear on the face of the statute. justice thomas: so what would that injury be under s.b. 8, if it's an injury in fact? mr. stone: one example could be akin to the injury suffered in the tort of outrage, where an individual becomes aware of a non-compliant abortion and they suffer the sort of same extreme emotional harm. that would ground an article iii injury for purposes of texas law that would be sufficient to satisfy the texas article iii-style scree

they enforce state law. shelley versus kramer being the most prominent landmark example of that. can you fill in the gaps there and explained to me how we should think about that language and light of how we conceptualize state court enforcement of private civil suits now? >> yes your honor. i think the most straight forward ways to apply ex parte young is to apply relief on ex parte young that was up the commencement of the suits and not create any of the problems raised in ex parte young about stopping the adjudication for a quick sorry to interrupt i think justice thomas' question wasn't getting at, take the point to distinguish the judges from the clerks. are they in that language are you saying we should not do that and i just want to hear your answer why should we do that? >> that's right i don't think so that language i think that language supports relief against the clerks versus whether courts should restrain there are instances of the court has recognized where it relief against eight judges and co

other states have a joint function of the commissions and the state legislatures. are these independent commissions really independent? do they result in fair apportionment, or is a result a mixed bag depending on the state? >> i will say mixed bag but somebody can argue with me. they are the gold standard but they don't have some of the issues as far as counterbalancing it. who thinks it is fantastic? >> it depends how you define the commission. >> what is the worst? >> new jersey. new jersey is up there. >> ohio. >> -- >> they are bipartisan commissions that are closely tied to the political process where people have -- sometimes they are legislators themselves were directly appointed by people. ither the more independent commissions like california where you have to write five essays if you want to be in the district in before three auditors. it is a 90 minute interview. lawmakers are not as directly involved in selecting people. the data is limited. california's commission has drawn one set of maps. arizona's commission is in operation longer. the first round e

it's the united states versus the autocracies, united states versus russia and china. and the purpose of the summit is to current try and create a start contrast between those 2. the i utilized vision america versus the overly propagandized. a pitcher that we've painted about the, you know, the evil nature of a russian and chinese rule. it's, it's purely a propaganda ploy. i don't think i'm 60. yeah, let me go to alexa here in moscow. i guess, you know, it's, it's, it creating some kind of global alliance against russia against china. i guess also hungry hungry didn't get invited. ok. oh, and you know, at the same time ukraine was there, i suppose it's there because of the u. s. was behind a coup that over through the democratically elected government in february of 2014, so conveniently, they made it on board here. i say this is just a farce. this is a propaganda after here. and it countries have interests. they don't necessarily have values. it values and interests coincide. that's great. but values are do not ra rule. they never have and they never will on, in inter

your state experience in massachusetts, my first state experience was also in massachusetts. and it's, you know, it's -- we all know all states are different but that as i worked in other states, i found that the infrastructure, that kind of oversight in massachusetts was stronger than it was in much of the rest of the country. of course my data are now very, very old. but i am curious sort of what's the federal government's role in pushing or helping the states move beyond that first layer of say, we've got managed care contracts, that's good enough. daniel: i would say this with great affection and partnership with the health plan community that i'm often chatting with, health plans can do an incredible amount. at the same time, i don't think, as we think about medicaid, whether thinking at the state level or federal level, where we are in 2021 with the goal of where we want to progress. simply having a contract with a managed care entity, paying capitation, handing capitation over and assuming everything will happen, you've acknowledged the difference in state resources. t

part one was in the states. an effort in multiple states to line up false electors for trump. i mean, if biden wins a state, that means the electors frtsd from that state are the biden electors. that was part one of the plan in the states. part two of the plan was to use the u.s. justice department to pressure states into sending those fake trump electors to the electoral college or at least to withhold the real biden electors. part three of the plan was to get vice president mike pence to go along with this when it came time on january 6th for him to actually count the electoral college votes. that's what the mob was for at the capitol on january 6th, right, to help vice president mike pence with that decision, to make sure he did the right thing when it came to counting those fake trump electors or not. but the part that happened actually in the states has received comparatively less attention ever since. i mean, the footage that exists of these republican fake electors banging on the door trying to negotiate their way past that state police captain. that gave us insight how

. >> you miss the states and the states create this. it is the people the whole country. >> in some way it more or less with the league of friendship which is the treaty as gordon calls it in the articles of confederation created the league of friendship here were 13 sovereign states and legs together. but if you go back to the document i keep hammering on the letter of the states washington says we need a central government that is the final say in everything that is common to all of us. common to all the states which wouldn't be slavery or education. you can think of things that it wouldn't be. it wouldn't be international and interstate commerce he makes that clear. he also says in the circular letters this is indivisible. once you join you can't get out. he said that the circular letter of 1783. we need a central government, one sure and it's a one-way ranch it. by saying that commerce and many people argue it wasn't just taxation. the certainly everybody would agree even the antifederalists would agree they needed more power to imp

this happens at all 50 states. some states, less than others. some states we know are notorious for voter fraud. i give you chicago and philadelphia and places along the texas border. what we have is a situation in which people either believe the spin they are hearing from folks like mr. roberts or they believe their own common sense. it makes common sense that there is more fraud than we detect for the following reason. there are lots of insider trading in the stock market. we know that. we have a small securities and exchange commission that tries to catch some people. make examples of them and discipline them to vent others from doing that. it is that mean they catch all of the. it means we have determined -- we have to terrence -- detteren ts. it is not a priority, it has become complete racialized. any time anyone accuses anyone of being -- committing voter fraud, they are labeled as a racist. prosecutors do not make this a priority. when we look for it, we find it. whether it is the congressional investigation a few years ago, they found o

, germany has 16 states, in total. most of them were established after the 2nd world war, with the founding of the federal republic of germany. in 1949. after german reunification in 1990, they were joined by 5 new states, paul, of which had belong to the former east germany, mecklenburg, western pomeranian brandon bog. saxony on hold for india and saxony. each german state has its own characteristics, 3 of them. berlin, hamburg, and bremen, our city states. the others are geographically defined, states yet differ according to their size, population density, and cultural and landscape features. so while destinations do travellers had fall when visiting germany the varia with its state capital munich, continues to be the number one choice of visitors to germany, even if their numbers have orland due to the corona virus pandemic. before cov at 19 struck, bavaria welcomed almost 21000000 people. in 2020 the states still accommodated some 7100000 foreign visitors. with the reason why people are drawn to bavaria are pretty

since today's hearing is also about the state of the state department, we must address the department's role in the hazardous withdrawal from afghanistan. despite the administration's efforts to put afghanistan in the rearview mirror, it remains a pressing national security concern for the senate and for the american people. it's been over a month since secretary blinken appears before this committee, and we have yet to receive the secretary's responses to our questions for the record that the were propounded at that time. this is an unacceptable delay, and we expect better responsiveness from the department, which they've always promised but have never executed on. on the issue of continued evacuations, in september, secretary blinken assured us that there were just 100 americans remaining in afghanistan that wished to depart -- 100. just last week, however, the team responsible for continued evacuations of americans told us that they were working on over 170 americans who wished to depart, for more than 360 americans who remain there. and the list is growing. i want to make note and a

made throughout the state. as noted in the state rail plan, $20 billion for california rail project is needed through 2027 and 119 billion through 2040. we have already delivered more than $4.7 billion since 2014 for projects benefitting inner city rail but only --. wide variety of programs. local sales tax measures. state rail assistance program by california and other competitive programs. a few weeks ago my agency issue ad call for project for the up come gd round of grants from the transit and inner city rail capital program tircp. this program funds rail and transit capital projects that reduce emissions, vmt and congestion. since 2015 we have awarded 5.8 billion with a total value of over 26 billion. we are also leading the nation in transitions from zero emission inner city rail by 2035. the state budget includes $3.9 billion to accelerate the zero emission vehicle goals, and already -- renewable diesel to the entire fleet and also zero emission train sets using hydrogen fuel cells and electric batteries

since the 1960s, all the southwestern states, upper basin states and lower basement states have grown, and more demands of that water. when they're whether we're talking about new mexico, arizona, nevada, california, colorado. so, how we deal with this conundrum with i'm change is really the issue at hand. i have long sought and i want to ask my question to mrs. trujillo that we've got to use all the water tools in the water tool box. in california we get water from a number of different sources. one of the primary sources is the colorado river basin. ms. trujillo, how does investment in our water infrastructure, including the entire western states, impact our water supplies and resilience to climate change? >> thank you. thank you congressman. the meeting comes from your guy so we've got it figured out -- >> as long as -- we don't take away those ten seconds you are muted. >> that's a deal. thank you, representative costa for your leadership on these issues. from the federal perspective, the investments absolutely make a difference with respect to the water supplies. there is a stron

, many states some states would be able to do that, even if you prevail under your view? >> that's consistent with our view. it's one that allows all interests to have full voice and many of the abortions we see in certain states that i don't think anybody would think would be moving to change their laws in a more restrictive direction. >> thank you. >> thank you, your honor. >> justice barrett? >> i have a question that is a little bit of a follow-up to one that justice breyer was asking you. that's arts stare decisis and a lot of cole low question has been about the benefits which i don't think anyone disputes and, of course, no one can dispute because it's part of our dock crin, there are some circumstances in which overruling is possible. we have plessy/brown, bowers versus hardwick. but in thinking about starry decisis, the core of this case, how should we be thinking about it? >> justice breyer pointed out in casey some respects it was a different conception of stare decisis in so far as it explicitly took into account public reaction. is that a factor that you acce

of the state . if that didn't work, they would like to serve in the region, start to see them be able to stay in yugoslavia and then they got their 3rd option which was ok will be in the home, isn't the session is most now, but now they can't even have this so they're essentially threatening to ignore the someone colonial power and even break away unless you stop undermining the agreement, which the claims it's trying to hold. so obviously most goes away and it's the mounting wanted scolding effectively. use colonial mentality in this whole project . so it's a big question, what can be done at this point? i mean, you can only use the search and the russians have undermining the agreement, but they're the main ones refusing to implement that. so it's, it's a very weird conflict to have, especially for the european so you can charge that. you can't really bother not trying to just keep trying doing the problem things because the very predicate is, is something that can come to fruition because you hav

so oregon state. in corvallis. in 1909, president william jasper kerr invited olmsted to visit the campus, and the olmsteds actually had a couple of railroad cars around the pacific north west, designing parks and campuses. the original visit resulted in on going relationship between olmsted -- this is john olmsted and what is now oregon state university. and this relationship even involved olmsted mentoring a young faculty member whose name was arthur lee peck which was a fresh graduate of the agricultural national institutes college and would go on to become a professor at oregon state and a leader in landscape architecture education in the west. well, john olmsted was engaged in other oregon campuses. joan huckaday notes at oregon state university more of olmsted's direct impact remains than the other campuses, attributing the lasting legacy of john olmsted with the importance of surrounding students with simple beauty. and this is a view of oregon state in corvallis today. also, in 1909, the olmsted brothers pr

that the state was phobia. if that didn't work, they would like to serve in regents to at least to see them be able to stay in the 5 year and then they got their 3rd option which was ok will be in the home is in the inside of the session is most now, but the, but now the company even have this, so they're essentially threatening mouth to ignore the use someone colonial power and even break away unless that you stops undermined from the dayton agreement, which the you proclaims it's trying to hold. so obviously most goes weighing in and it's the mounting on it's cooling, effectively the use colonial and mentality in this whole project. so it begs the question, what can be done at this point? i mean, you can only use the serbs and the rushes of undermining the date agreement, but they are the main ones refusing to implement that. so it's a, it's a very weird conflict to have, especially for the european stuff in charge. you can't really bother not trying to just keep trying, doing the wrong things because the ver

harris, president biden has stated that the united states will continue to counter terrorist threats in afghanistan from an over the horizon basis. that term has been used multiple times to describe the new profile of our response. to the extent that you can describe it, can you please help explain for our subcommittee members what that means, what does that mean and how is it working, how does it work, how sit working with that effort? thank you. ms. harris: thank you for the question, mr. chairman. when we think about over the horizon it isn't a static concept. it's an iterative approach tailored to the individual terrorist threat we're looking at. it's a way to bring the department and the whole of government's full capabilities to bear against a terrorist problem and scale it based on the terrorist threat we see. as we seek to set conditions in afghanistan, for example, we are seeking to deepen our relationships in the region, work withall lies and partners to prevent afghanistan from becoming a terrorist safe haven and continue to understand how isis-k and al qaeda are taking ad

state sovereignty. republicans are thrilled to the voting rights act worked. the truth is more americans are voting now than ever before and overall voter registration remains high. this is a great achievement. voter registration disparities between minority and non-minority voters in states like texas, florida, mississippi, louisiana are below the national average and they are actually lower in democratic run states like new york, california and delaware. however, democrats would have you think otherwise. they want to bring preclearance back and have state seek approval from the justice department before making any changes to election laws. this is a blatant federal power grab. we shouldn't stand for it. both hr one and hr four are contrary to the plain text of the constitution and if ever fully implemented would further erode america's faith in our institutions. the fabric of our republic is becoming frayed because of this. i remain hopeful of people of our country will see these political charades fo

the united states. so that's going to help drive down the trade deficit. there's a lot of work to do. you know, boeing has not had a water from china in 5 years. so just by far the largest aviation market. so there's a lot of bilateral trade that could happen on a potential thought. now, however, the issues in the east trying to see, so trying to see what is, is kind of putting those kinds of things on hold. but you know, we will see is 2022 develops. if we're going to move into more of a falling in the relationship or it's just going to continue, continue to ratchet up up into a war 40. you've been the only one that's been right of all of the analysts on china for the last 101520 years. fortunately, you have been a friend of kaiser for and we've owned, we've been the only outlet that has called it right. most us media has said for the past 1015 years, they've had the likes of kyle bass on. and even worse than him in terms of getting it wrong, is that they've kept on saying like it's collapsing, it's co

get in contact with your state party chair and your state and let them know that you are interested in running because we need to fill every seat with a good democrat who is interested in saving our democracy and representing the people who desperately need good leaders right now. and so that is our push to make sure that we fill every slot that we can to make sure that we put voter protection staff on the ground to begin to build up a shield around the voters in this country. and not just democratic voters. all voters. all voters need to be able to exercise their right to vote and that's really, really important. and if it's just a democratic party doing it, then we're going to play that role. >> all right. well, thank you for being with us. and as i said, you remain open as we really, really have been putting pressure, and i hope some of the moderate democrats are watching so they get a little view of what you get from us on the phone and zoom calls for the frustration. and you have been committed to this. we're going to keep the heat on because we're talking about saving our democra

to the granite state, to the live free or die state. a very clear message to president biden and the democrats in congress. keep your hands off the american people's paychecks. we want our freedom. and a boundless american future. and it's not theoretical. during our four years of the trump/pence administration, we showed what it takes to get this free market economy rolling. under the leadership of president donald trump. we cut taxes across the board. for working families and small farms. we rolled back more federal regulation in four years than any administration in american history. we made america energy independent for the first time in 70 years. and we fought for the kind of free and fair trade that puts american jobs and american workers first. and in our first three years, 7 million jobs created and wages rose at their fastest pace in more than a decade. [applause] amazing. household income sorted to a new record. unemployment plummeted to a 50 year low. maybe most meaningful to us, we had the lowest unemployment ever recorded

that the state was phobia. if that didn't work, they would like to serve in regents to at least to see them be able to stand before you. and then they got their 3rd option, which was ok will be in the thomas and the inside of the session is most now. but now they can't even have this. so they're essentially threatening now to ignore the use someone colonial power and even break away unless you stops undermines in the dayton agreement, which the claims it's trying to hold. so obviously most goes weighing in and it's the mounting on it's calling effectively use colonial a mentality in this whole project. so it's a big question. what can be done at this point? i mean, you can only use the service and the russian undermining the date agreement, but they are the main ones refusing to implement that. so it's a, it's a, it's a very weird conflict to have, especially for the european so charge you can't really bother not trying to just keep dry doing the wrong things. because the very predicate is, is something that ca

in our state. and so mr. buschatzke, what can be done right now and into next year to help our central arizona farmers? >> senator kelly, our central arizona farmers maintain the right to groundwater that they received in the 1980 groundwater code, with the conservation requirements. the state has made 40 million dollars available to those farmers for infrastructure and efficiency programs to help them and water users, like city, tribes, and industrial users, some of them are standing water to those farmers. they will eventually get a credit back for the sea that water. so, we put together a very robust mitigation plan, honoring the system in our state for water rights. despite that, projections in 2018 and 2019 -- haven't been able to get an updated number since then. however, the other option they are pursuing in the department of agricultural regional conservation partnership programs, also for some financial help. again, the infrastructure improvements. so we are doing the best we can to somewhat mitigate

than people who reside in the state. this creates the potential for our citizens' votes to be diluted. l.a. county had over 1.5 million ineligible people on their voter rolls. a suit filed by a nonpartisan watchdog alleged that l.a. county had 112% of its adult citizens registered to vote. under pressure, california and l.a. county finally agreed to clean up their voter rolls in 2019. but unfortunately when then-california secretary of state padilla appeared before my committee in 2020, he could not confirm that many of those inhe ineligible people had been removed from california's unmaintained voter rolls. not a lot of faith that california's doing everything it can to protect the integrity of our elections. and then there's new york city. which just decided to allow nearly a million noncitizens to vote in city elections. new york can make its own bad decisions, but it's our job to ensure that we protect federal elections. common sense will tell that you combining noncitizens and eligible american voters on same voter

is this -- you think this is a coordinated effort with the united states? >> i'll put this quite simply, the more iran demonstrates a lack of seriousness at the negotiating table, the more unity there is among the p 5 pus one, and the more they will be exposed as the isolated party in this negotiation so really the ball is iran's court as to whether it wants to show skpup demon -- up and demonstrate whether it's going to be serious or not. >> looking forward to the meeting with president zelensky later this week, are there any steps and compromises ukraine might be able to make to find a way to end this peacefully? >> i mentioned before, we're in constant contact with levels of government. secretary blinken spoke with president zelensky yesterday, i'm not going to characterize the specifics of the proposals, but they have come forward with constructive ideas to move diplomacy forward. we're encouraging that. those are steps they are taking, and we're asking the united states to support them in trying to get towards a cease fire and ultimately get down the t

egypt turned to the united states and israel all right -- always depended on the united states. it is generally second, a bad idea for presidents to tie themselves up for almost twl weeks personally negotiating because if they failed that is an enormous blow to their bank credibility. he was indispensable without his constant presidents -- presence, without drafting 22 peace agreements. contrast that with john kerry, the secretary of state in 2015 when he didn't have the full engagement of president obama or bill clinton. what does he do in the middle of camp david? he goes to the g7 summit and flies back. doesn't propose his own draft until the last week. the most important lesson to me is a president and administration must be willing to invest enormous time, rendered -- energy, resources. a president or secretary of state with the president's backing has to be willing to crack eggs to make an omelette. to bear the political consequences of doing so. he has to be able to put himself in the shoes of the other side. understanding this was their bang limits. the political risk is

>> the state may have, your honor. the s state can certainly regulate, serve its interest in fetal life and women's health. those particulare laws deter women from seeking prenatal care which is counterproductive to both their -- >> but pre-viability as well as post-viability? >> no, your honor. thebi court has been clear that the after viability they can prohibit abortion except to -- >> no. i mean in my example of criminal child neglect. i understand you, your argument is about abortion. i am trying to look at issue of bodily autonomy and whether or not she has a right also to bodily autonomy in the case of ingestingn an illegal substance and causing harm to a pre-viability fee -- fetus. >> your honor, of course those issues aren't posed in this case, and i would say the states can certainly regulate throughout pregnancy both before andd after viability both to preserve fetal life and the woman's health. the court has said there are other constitutional issues at stake. for instance, mt. ferguson case -- in the fergu

but nevertheless the governor of that state telling members of the national guard in his state that they should listen to him, trust him, they should not listen to u.s. military orders. they should instead follow him and the oklahoma state government and they should not worry about having to get vaccinated against covid. even though there's a military rule that says all troops need to do that. that was a bizarre fight for the republican governor of oklahoma to pick that story also sort of crested today. and if national guard troops in oklahoma are mad at their republican governor right now, there is a very good reason for that. we've got that story ahead for you again tonight as well. we've also got an update for you tonight on a doctor, a public health official who we've had as a guest on this show several times, somebody who's been a real asset in the fight against covid-19, among other public health challenges in his state, he's been blunt and unafraid to keep putting public health first, to not sugar coat it, to not excuse political actions that were going to make the covid epidemic

he reminded our country, quote, democracy is not a state, it's an act. democracy is not a state, it is an act. for the next 2 days. we're bringing together leaders for more than $100.00 governments, alongside activists trade unionists and other members of civil society. leading experts and researchers and represented from the business community. not, not, not, not to assert that any one of our democracies is perfect. or has all the answers. but the lock arms and reaffirm or shared commitment to make our democracy better. to share ideas, learn from each other and make concrete commitments of how, how to strengthen our own democracies and push back on var. terry is fight corruption. promot protect human rights of people everywhere. to act to act. this summit is a kick off of a year and action for all of our countries to fall through on our commitments and report back next year on the progress we've made. and as we do this, the united states is going to lead by example, investing on our own democratic, our own democracy, supporting our, our partners around the world, the same time for the

the united states. so that's going to help drive down the trade deficit. there's a lot of work to do, you know, boeing has not had orders from china in 5 years. so just by far the largest aviation market, so there's a lot of bilateral trade that could happen on a potential thought. now, however, the issues in the east tennessee, so trying to see what is, is kind of putting those kinds of things on hold. but you know, we will see as 2022 develops. if we're going to move into more of a falling in the relationship or it's just going to continue, continue to ratchet up up into a war 40. you spend the only one that spend right of all of the analysts on china for the last 101520 years. fortunately, you have been a friend of kaiser for and we've owned, we've been the only outlet that has called it right. most u. s. media has said for the past 1015 years, they've had the likes of kyle bass on. and even worse than him in terms of getting it wrong, is that they've kept on saying like it's collapsing, it's collaps

wise, state house and state senate races are also being dictated by the new lines. they are suburbs around major cities are becoming more populated, urban areas are becoming less populated. that makes you move the lines as well. so state legislatures around the country could see could see a change in the, in the right versus left republican versus democrat numbers as well. you're also seeing it, you know, i was a news anchor for nbc in el paso, texas in very, very blue city. you had, during the trump years, you had the mayor, oral election has gone blue every single year for the past. i want to say 56 years demarco. when's the nomination for el paso mirror? because he kind of ran on trump policies for the 1st time. he had a republican as a mayor again because of that messaging. and again, it's that local government that's going to have the most change. now he's been since voted out and the new and the former democratic mare is back in cuz they liked us policies. but it's just that is where you're going to see the most change . and i think again, if people focus on t

senator from the great state of delaware. i think you know that president biden is from the great state of delaware. he is also the chairman of the senate relations subcommittee on african affairs. senator kunz has been a long time of africa. we are pleased he would take time out of his schedule to be with us. over to you, sir. maybe we are having a tech issue. >> thank you. can you hear me and can you see me? >> yes, i see you now. thank you to your panel. i have been listening to your deliberations and discussions over the last dozen minutes. i was trying to figure out how to tell you, don't interrupt everybody. i'm happy to keep listening. you have more wisdom assembled here, more personal investment and engagement in the fight for democracy than you will hear from me. thank you for the opportunity to join you. daniel, let me thank csis, the center for strategic international studies, for hosting this, today. i am grateful to mccall, who i have traveled with and worked to advance democracy. we have differences in terms of

s. government life for the united states does. it is important to deal with the united states in a sense, constrain the worst aspect of us behavior by international agreements like the jcp away. so as long as it is, i think it is important to try to get back to either the g p, a or something that at least tries to buy bound not just united states, but all parties to some semblance of international standards and international law . hummer, is it as easy? is the window of opportunity closing? is there a time limit on these talks or can i just continue ad nauseum? of course there is no official or kind of formal time limits, but given that size, i mean, it seems that both sides are continuing to increase their level or is there can be a point when you know the talks would be kind of meaningless because i'm the one hand each round of negotiations and failing to kind of persuade united states to lift the sanctions. iran continues with its nuclear activity development, so it's not good. i think it is the same time. we have more tensions

i mean, you look at city states, you know, they alliances, they developed in some city states wouldn't be able to join one because, well, we're right next door to your rival, so that doesn't work well for us. i mean, in time and memorial is it, what you have is a stronger power is make it very clear that their interests are being threatened here and we're seeing a repeat it here in this case. but they're just saying, no, i mean, you know, our values in closing their eyes to other countries insecurity and growing, insecurity because of their defensive alliance. it doesn't make any sense. go ahead one. know what i think when people talk to speak english, they begin to thinking cliches. and i think that's a problem because the fundamental principle of international security should get a states to not increase their security of expense for security of other states. now, based on this principle states, you know, the develop specific mechanisms where true can be stationed, how many, this is not controversial yet. and that's why so astounding. want me to suggest is that rosa should have no ve

this is unprecedented for a state to step up and have to secure the sovereignty of the united states of america. this is the same fence president trump put up, we are putting it up at fast pace, mile after mile after mile to secure the united states. >> are you doing it? >> the tragedy that occurred because the biden administration is not enforcing immigration laws. we have drug cartel human traffickers, fentanyl is being brought across the border. there's a devastating tragic story about a woman not too far from where we are, she and her daughter lost their lives because a smuggler ran through a small stop sign and t-boned them and killed them. there's devastation every day because the biden administration is not doing its job to secure our border texas is stepping up and doing the federal government's job. >> we were in mexico this week and interviewed a cartel smuggler, bold. it's clear they've never had this kind of control on our border and it's impacting you. >> used a good work, they are not dealing with president trump now, they are dealing with president biden in the cartel

states. i limit what was going on in europe. we also look at modern case studies in israel and enjoy it would experience a massive migration from other countries in recent times. the mass migrations enhance. we all have mechanism laid out completely in the book, the selection bias in the immigrant from country to somewhere else prickly place like the united states, they're kind of buying into something. their view is not representative of the average person. in fact i gave you the cuba example is probably a strong one. i'm think of no better antisocial's voting bloc in the united states and cuban immigrants in florida. the come to enjoy capitalist america. >> what you say to the argument that immigrants steal jobs, depress wage scale? >> that ape a popular belief in culture. social scientist to say the impact of immigration is no support for that. for over 30 years economists have been debating the wage impact in the employment impact on that native pigment comes to jobs there is no impact. i

so four state at least. as you were mentioning, there are other potential areas of damage, not only the candle factory that's in the state. there is also the amazon warehouse that's in neighboring areas in illinois, for instance, north, where they had at least 100 emergency vehicles getting to that location. they believe that most of this particular warehouse, an area -- a wall that has -- according to the "associated press," the length of a football field completely collapsing as well as the roof itself. so a lot of unknown questions because they just have these certain areas where they can get light up. of course, when you have in addition to that tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people without power in this area, what we were saying yesterday is that the estimation is this particular storm could affect 16 million people. the number could have gone down by now. according to the national weather service, according to their hazardous weather outlook, they expect the tornado watch to be in ef

and the initiators of this illegitimate unilateral measures the secretary of state of the united states and the foreign minister of russia were never going to get to the bottom of all of the problems between the 2 countries here in stock o. what we may potentially take away from this is something that anthony blinking said after his and his meeting with so again, love rob. he said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober debates and that close of foreign ministers, both senior diplomats. we'll take that away to their respective presidents, and we may well see some more discussion it that much higher level in the very near future. tolliver reporting now richard back from nancy, bore on to coalition does say, it's not russia that's on the march, but the u. k america and the rest of night i presentation or what's going on from the us side from secretary state blanket sites is so lacking in credibility and so full of threat since 999 just 22 years. the number of countries in nato has almost doubled and strong and fire from the north atlantic, which is what it was calle

since 2013, 36 states and d.c. have taken steps to reform and maine, nebraska, north carolina have eliminated it entirely, but these efforts are undermined by federal equitable sharing, which is an and run around and we need to deal with it by passing sweeping reforms contained in the fair act we will discuss. congress must act to ensure lasting reforms to federal civil asset forfeiture programs. i am proud to be the lead democratic cosponsor of hr 2857 along with congressman tim walberg of minnesota. this bill will raise the level of proof required by the government to keep a forfeiture to clear and convincing evidence. it will require revenues to be deposited in the general treasury fund rather than being returned to state and local law enforcement agencies. i am pleased as well any of my colleagues on this committee have joint mr. wahlberg and me in sponsoring this bill. this is our congress should be operating in the interest of protecting the rights of all americans, rather than engaging in our constant habits

>> i would agree with my department of state colleague. at this point, all we can do is be clear in our expectations and commitment to not let a terrorist threat grow. >> yes or no, mr. landberg, is there an isis presence in afghanistan today? >> i think that would be better left for the classified session. >> i will assume yes. mr. landberg, do the taliban and al qaeda have a mutually beneficial relationship? >> going back, there has been a relationship. i think that is well known. >> are al qaeda operatives within the taliban? >> again, any level of discussion about specific terrorist group activities -- >> does the taliban actively shield al qaeda? chris: i think what is clear from conversation so far with the taliban, they are aware of our clear message that they cannot allow al qaeda to use afghanistan as a safe haven. i think they are wary of allowing afghanistan to do that. we can talk in more detail later. >> mr. landberg, can you confirm that after the withdrawal of u.s. troops, the taliban were going door-to-door and quietly exec

in many states in the united states right now, that is not illegal. in her case, it was a violation of her probation. you have a defender going before the judge, trying to protect her rights. eventually ended up filing a rift with the supreme court, asking the judge to overturn his ruling that sent the woman back to prison, where she will have a baby in prison because of this. in small counties, you have a public defender who is out of school for the most part. and, you have a prosecutor and a judge and a sheriff who all have significantly more power within that system and tend to be aligned. it is difficult for a young public defender who has to go for that judge every single day or once a week or whatever it is to challenge that judge on a particular case, knowing that he has 10, 20, 30 other cases before that judge. and if the judge gets mad at the public defender, that public defender has now possibly put in jeopardy some of his other clients. it shouldn't be that way. but, that is the reality of how this system works in a lot of rural jurisdictio

more states across the united states confirm cases of omicron covid variant. scientists race to understand how dangerous this variant really is. president biden is laying out his plan to make it through what could be a difficult winter, including tighter travel rules, free at-home testing and a major push to get more booster shots into arms. while the concerns over this new variant dominate the headlines, the delta variant continues to cause mysiss misery across the states. the country is back more than 100,000 cases a day for the first time in two months. let's go straight to dr. anthony fa fa fauci. dr. fauci, good to see you. let's start with the omicron variant. coronavirus cases in south africa quadrupled in four days this week. reportedly spreading twice as quickly as delta. but the south african president said overnight that hospitalizations from omicron are not increasing at an alarming rate. have you seen evidence that hospitalizations or deaths were rising, not just cases? what does this suggest to you about this new variant? >> well, we're in quite

of states or states still could and presumably would continue to freely allow abortion, many states, some states would be able to do that even if you prevail under your view, is that correct? >> that's consistent with our view, your honor. it allows all interests to have full voice and many of the abortions we see in certain states that anybody to change their laws in a more restrictive direction. thank you, your honor. >> bill: justice barrett. >> i have a question that is a little bit of a follow up to one justice breyer was asking you. it's about stari decis has been about the benefits of that. i don't think anyone disputes that and no one can dispute because it is part of our doctrine and it is not a command and some circumstances in which overruling is possible. brown, bowers versus hard wick, lawrence. but in thinking about that which is the core of this case, how should we be thinking about it? justice breyer pointed out that in casey and in some respects it was a different conception of that concept insofar as it explicitly took into account public reaction. is that a factor

steady-state. she has taken that place from tough times to being an absolute gem within the district. ms. sailor, you noted in your testimony obama era gainful employment rule that it was harsh to the hbcu community. do you mind discussing that? ms. sailor: sure and thank you for the question. as we look at balancing the needs of students and the institutions and being able to protect both, you look at the gainful employment regulation if you will. trump was concerned, and many were concerned, harm could come to hbcus and other institutions of higher learning across the country where the ability to not define, if you will, the requirements of connectivity between the program and an outcome the student would receive in terms of gainful employment. so, that rule in terms of focusing on disclosure was very important to begin to relax that and create another flexibility for hbcus and institutions of higher learning not to be harmed. again, we want to make sure students are going to engage in programs t

of the united states and the foreign minister of russia. we're never going to get to the bottom of all of the problems between the 2 countries here in stock o. what we may potentially take away from this is something that antony blinking said after his and his meeting with sir gala for avi said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober ad debates and that close their foreign ministers, both senior diplomats would take that away to their respective presidents, and we may well see some more discussion it that much higher level in the very near future payroll over there, we'll outside the discussions with antony blinking. ukraine was also the subject of talks between lab rove and u. k counterpart, elizabeth truss, and the meeting were so eagerly anticipated to that the russian foreign minister was forced to literally ordered the press out of the ring. with him on may be journalist expectations they were justified because before arriving in stock, homeless trust was in estonia, where she post for journalist on top of a tank

my son is a united states marine. my daughter writes for the daily wire. a fairly well-known commentator. our youngest roger waited from yell laws bull and is now living in washington, d.c.. all of my kids are off the payroll, married, and most importantly our son and incredible daughter-in-law gave us our first grandchild, she is seven months old. she was an avocado for halloween. that is who we are. that is our journey. it's accurate to say president reagan was one-of-a-kind. he is universally admired today. those old enough to remember it no it was not always that way. before he was the great communicator, ronald reagan was the great disruptive. conservative outsider who vigorously opposed the moderate republican establishment in his day. reagan's victory in 1980 breathe new life into our party and into conservatism, he changed the course of our nation and the world. today, we found ourselves in a similar position. president donald trump was also one-of-a-kind. [applause] he disrupted the status quo, challenged the movement, and there is no turning back
