. >> hello national league of cities, i'm councilwoman rebecca from san antonio texas. during this year's congressional city conference it's so important that we address the challenges of homelessnessand housing instability in our communities . for the pandemic homelessness was a top concern for cities of all sizes. during this annual time in january 2019 the department of housing and urban development found more than 567,000 people were experiencing homelessness in a single night. as we work to ensure our residents are safe and shelter we must also work to address housing instability in all of our communities. today we have 40 million tenants who are at risk of infection when the current moratorium expires . cities housing instability crisis can only be addressed through strong partnership across all levels of government. we are encouraged by the biden administration's recent executive action to address long-standing inequities in housing development, but we know there is more work to be done. our hope is to work closely with our federal partners to expand housing firs

he said, oh, wait, see if the san antonio team wants to pay for it. it pays for her to have her breast done and her nose. she was honest about this. and a lot of women had done this the state organizations had paid for it. dana was a contender and reporters asked her, have you had anything done and she was honest. it blew up this big scandal. >> right. the media treated it like she was a doping athlete. the funny thing is she still possessed at the attitude the whole thing. it did not traumatize her. she went through the ringer with this, but she still had the whole pageant experience. >> a lot of girls, women came up to her. >> her advice was, don't tell anyone. >> exactly. i want to move to the serious stuff. before we get to the platforms and shift, let's rewind a little bit and tell me a little bit more about the beginning. the very first miss america, what state was she from?

but he starts feeling votes and then he starts in san antonio but still several hundred votes behind. but then six days after the election, they find a box that has ballots. 200 to ballots and 200 and our past, lyndon johnson and he wins the election by 87 votes one week later. so he was the enforcer for a guy named george parr he was a big guy a tough and burly guy he always had a revolver with the handle that would go all the way down to his knee and he was the precinct child stay put in to make sure things right. so i hearing is actually held and he is put on the stand he denies anybody stuffed anything into the ballot box. but as it is about to start and then he is the office of the supreme court justice hugo black and what it says, basically is the hearing is now called off and now there is never another hearing. so this is a key element of johnson's life. he goes on to the senate and then to become president but if they lost the election and then probably no further political activity talking about going to his wife's radio and television stations. so they were already seven bio

[inaudible] i'm with the san antonio express newspaper and i was struck by the stories this week that have come out about the number of people in the air force specifically who were not following the orders to take their vaccine shot. it's astonishing and this is something he learned from the first dayu of camp that you follow orders. i wonder what your attitude is about that and to people who refuse to follow that order are they allowed to remain in the military and should they be discharged with a dishonorable discharge? it strikes me as being so counterintuitive to what soldiering is about. >> the way i approach this and we have talked about this within our own command and socom commanders. first and foremost this is a readiness issue. and for socom i'm specifically looking at for our forces that need to deploy to do their jobs in order to do that they need to be vaccinated. they need to go back to the discussion of marks of trust and if you are able to walk into a country within air core special operations team that is fully vaccinated and is up to their health they are going to b

ingrid skop, a board-certified ob/gyn from san antonio. i have delivered over 5000 babies in each of these children has made a tremendous impact on the lives of the people surrounding them. also, many were not intentionally conceived. the texas heart act has reminded us of an inconvenient fact -- a month after conception, a fetus develops a heartbeat, which is universally recognized as a sign of life. the supreme court contended it could not resolve the difficult question of if this is a life. today, we cannot plead ignorance. we have all seen ultrasounds, pictures of the unborn demonstrating their just like us only smaller and in more need of care. the abortion debate has been obscured by euphemisms that allow us to mask the horror of the actions. we have created a class of humans considered unworthy of life on their own merits, valuable only if someone else desires them. this is the definition of genocide. we need to re-examine this as a scientific and human rights issue, not through the lens of political partisanship or social engineeri

along those lines i just heard earlier about a special initiative in san antonio, texas which was a vaccine event for individuals that didn't have broadband access or smart phones or not able to sign up for appointments online. it was strictly a call in and i think even a drop in kind of basis and i hear that they didn't distribute all of their vaccine. i hear that it didn't go as well as they were hoping it would and again you got patients in rural areas who are allowed to get a vaccine but there aren't enough distributors in her area. this is one area where i think the federal government needs to listen to the unique needs of what one county needs and not what another county will need. >> talk a little bit about dealing with covid fatigue among people after and in a lot of cases more than ten months of isolation and people working from home had people losing their jobs and now we have two approved vaccines and how do you keep people from saying as long as i know i will get a vaccine then i no longer need to wear a mask and i no longer need to follow the applied rules because i'm going to
