that is the say the united states of america. the united states of america then is engaged in a debate about world war ii and the role in it. you should know that in the run up to the bombing of pearl harbor, the bombing of japanese forces of pearl harbor, hawaii, japan had made a very sustained and and not nonunsuccessful to woo black americans. all were united to a greater or lessor degree. so when japan bombed pearl harbor was this infrastructure of protokyo support that paul robeson began to chip at, was able to convince many black americans that their destiny and faith should rest with solidarity with washington in death match in japan rather than coming to the siren song of tokyo. you should also know, i should let the cat out of the bag, the next book i publish would be prototokyo and quite and paul robeson was able to chip away and woo black americans getting them to enlist in great numbers in the u.s. military where they played a pivotal role in fascist powers and particularly japan. no good deed goes unpunished and after

it is suspected they use cuba as a gateway into the united states or canada. and without objection, i ask unanimous consent that this article be inserted into the record. what this article reflects is truly frightening, given the fact that cuba currently has zero document verification machines at any of its airports. they do not have any electronic means of trying to verify whether any of the documents being presented to them are, in fact, what they purport to be and authentic. so, there you have it. these are the concerns, and they are multifaceted and serious. we are here today not to elaborate on the merits of the administration's rapprochement with cuba, but to take a serious look, as is our job, at the national security implications of a policy that has been pushed through at breakneck speed with seemingly minimal regard for the security and safety of the american people. with that, i now recognize the ranking member of this subcommittee, the gentlewoman from new york, ms. rice, for any statement she may have. representative rice: thank you, mr. chairman,

in south carolina, the state that was named the front they state the country. the most patriotic thing the union. it makes zero sense. on february 20 third, 316, president obama announced his plan to close guantanamo bay detention facility currently used to house some of the deadliest terrorist in history. including the principal architect of the september 11 attacks. contain little new information. it did not even name a state facility for potential. but instead reference the department of defense's 2015 of 13 potential, but unidentified facilities. in the opening paragraph of the plan, president obama resents three reasons for why it is a national security imperative. that the united states and its mission and guantanamo bay. regardless of any man that may support these at assertions, they do not support the conclusion that the terrace should be transferred to charleston south carolina. or any other location and the united states. i know the other witnesses today will discuss a specific costs and security concerns. my testimony today will focus on three speci

the similarities of the united states of 1976 and the united states of 2016 are profoundly striking. we are now as we were then, i nation struggling to overcome the worst economic downturn since the great depression. all gears have been thrown into reverse. we are now as we were then facing growing pressure to improve progress for the poor who are often demonized as lazy slackers trying to cheat the system. all gears have been thrown into reverse. we are now, as we were then, responding to hostility and violence triggered by challenges to the status quo, whether a response to busing programs to integrate public schools, our resistance to commonplace police brutality today, all all gears have been thrown into reverse. have racial justice and race relations improved over the last eight years? does as our president wraps up his final time as president, cmdr. in chief, we begin to assess the progress black america has made under his administration. how well has the nation recovered from the worst economic crisis it has seen in generations? how much closer are we to the very important goal

on behalf of the state of nevada, the united states senate and the united states of america, i express my sincere gratitude to the families of all nevadans who have given their lives in the line of duty. i assure you that your losses will never be forgotten. and i thank and commend each of the brave nevadans currently serving in our armed forces as well as their families for their sacrifice. but my gratitude extends across the nation to all veterans and their families. we owe all of you a debt of thanks that can never be repaid. may god bless our troops and may we continue to bless -- may he continue to bless this great country. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. mrs. boxer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from california. mrs. boxer: am i correct there is no quorum call at the moment? the presiding officer: that is correct. the senator from california is recognized. mrs. boxer: thank you so much. mr. president, we're working behind the scenes to allow a vote on h.r. 2576, the frank r. lautenberg chemical safety for the 21st century act. my understanding of

he took advantage of the new deal project to improve the state. helped a lot of great people. =--- a lot of rural white people . as governor of mississippi, he made the decision in the 1930's to remove all the president's from 3 major universities in the state. the university of mississippi, mississippi state university and mississippi university for for women. he removed the presidents and replace them with people -- i think one was a real estate agent. another had just received his bachelor degree a year before.he removed all the people -- this is what was claimed -- that didn't like him. he removed professors that went against him, the president, and replaced them with his cronies. a lot of his friends that were often not qualified suddenly theeived positions in universities in the state. this particular document here is a report of the executive committee of the association of colleges, which is one of the accreditation units for universities. they did their own investigation. the put not only the 3 schools whose presents were removed, but als

the mandate in their state. throughout the debate and i'm one of the last remaining that wrote no child left behind. it was a great act for six years but it went for seven years where it didn't get reauthorized but became an impediment rather than progress. the ceiling got too low and people got put into nonperformance schools that shouldn't have been put in that category. but the think i focused most in the assessment of disands, i am married to a teacher of special education. our kids with learning disabilities to try to provide as much quality rules as we could. one of the things we had was a 1% exception, i guess you'd call it, for kids with that kind of disability to have an alternative assessment rather than a mandated test on the no child left behind. when we rewrote it, the 1% cap stayed for the state but it was over ruled by regulation that said the state board could not keep a local system from determining if a kid needed an alternative assessment based on the iep to ensure there was more flexibility. s

we're the least populated state in the nation. i have understand the forced transfer of teachers sounds okay to individuals in this administration who don't understand states like wyoming or wisconsin but seems to me that rural and frontier states will be hit the hardest with such an outcome. as former teacher of the year in rural, no, as superintendent of a rural state, can you tell me what kind of impact this will have? >> absolutely and just as an aside, the, one of the major issues in rural wisconsin, and i'm sure in rural wyoming, is who is going to teach those schools? we were having a extraordinarily severe teacher shortage and can be blamed on whole number of issues. i have my own opinions on that but when we take the ability for local school districts, rural or local, and confine the way they hire people in a way that isn't going to help kids, necessarily, and we try to, and i get the idea that it is important to have some, some transparency around equitable distribution of money. this just doesn't get it. that is not, th

and the particular states in the region. this is an existential reflection on what richard haas projected. if states are not going to be the powerful mechanism by which we organize global politics and economics, what is? and should we be trying at the end of the era of the state to shore up states? again, i think there are strong bureaucracies. israel, turkey, iran, eegypt, tunis tunisia. they, themselves, are becoming increasely the tools of purposes and not serving the sort of formal -- as the sort of formal impersonal apparatus that can effectively collect taxes, distribute goods and provide services equitably among citizens. iran is already deeply sectarian. the ethnic and religious coloration of turkey's state is becoming more and more apparent. in egypt, competing networks of pourer, saudi supported salifies, a u.s. supported military industrial complex has been jockeying for supremacy. even in israel, the attachment to mid 20th century norms of secular citizenship is giving away to open expressions of religious and eth

we're the least populated state in the nation. and i understand the forced transfer of teachers sounds okay to individuals in this administration, who don't understand states like wyoming or wisconsin. but it seems to me that rural and frontier states will be hit the hardest with such an outcome. as a former teacher the -- well, as the superintendent of a rural state, can you tell me what kind of an impact this will have? >> absolutely. and just as an aside, the -- one of the major issues in rural wisconsin and i'm sure in rural wyoming is who's going to teach those schools. we were having an extraordinarily severe teacher shortage and it can be blamed on a whole number of issues. i have my own opinions on that. but when we take the ability for local school districts, rural or local, and confine the way they hire people in a way that isn't going to help kids necessarily and we try to -- and i get the idea that it's important to have some transparency around equitable distribution of money. this just doesn't get it. that's the main

live in the state capital, sean bennett kpix 5. >>> in campaign 2016 it seems the rise of donald trump has incentivized california democrats to register to vote. california's secretary of state says that the number of registered democrats has risen since january, republicans are losing ground. according to the figures, democrats are locked down 44% of all registered voters. republicans make up 28% of the electorate. this is ahead of next month's primary. >>> the obama administration is weighing in on how schools should treat transgender students. the new federal guidelines come as the debate over which bathrooms transgender people should use spreads to more states. cbs news' weijia jang has the story. >> reporter: every public school in the country received this letter this morning from the department of education and justice. it offers guidance for how transgender students should be treated, especially with regard to bathroom and locker room access and housing. the guidelines dictate that transgender students are not to be discriminated against and should be treated consistent with th

it was allowed by the state department. hey have confirmed. >> the truth is and the truth is, everythingdy was permitted and i went above and beyond what anybody could have expected in making sure that if the state department didn't capture something, i made a real effort to get it to them. and i had no obligation to do any of that. >> as you know, the inspector general's report says something completely different. the inspector general found no evidence that the secretary says requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via personal account on her private server according to the current secretary clinton had an obligation to discuss using her personal email account to conduct official business with their offices who in turn would have attempted to provide her where approved or secured means that met their business needs. according to officials, ds and irm did not and would not approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct department business because of the restrictions in

furthermore, the united states faces the highest threat level since 9/11 with open counterterrorism investigations in all 50 states in this great country of ours, and more than 80 isis-related arrests in the past two years, including one just up the road from my district, on new year's eve. with the current threat environment in mind, i offer h.r. 4407, the counterterrorism advisory board afpkt 2016. initially established at the end of 2010, this panel brings together the department of homeland security's top cousht terrorism decision makers to respond to threats. however, i led a bipartisan task force which found that the counterterrorism advisory board or ctab had neither been codified nor had its charter been kept pace with today's evolving terrorist threats. that is why we need to pass this bill, to ensure d.h.s. is effectively integrating intelligence operations and policy to help fight terrorism and that it is quickly exchanging threat information. this legislation formally establishes a ctab in law and makes it the department's central coordination body for counterterrorism activities. the

and that violated the state department's rules. now the report goes on to say that when she left, she should have at least turned over those records and said that she was able to provide them when she was asked for it. she turned over 55,000 pages, 30,000 e-mails that she had sent while she was in the state department. but the report does also say that there was -- even though she turned over 55,000 pages, there was still some things missing from those -- from those e-mails, including e-mails to david petraeus, who is the former cia director and e-mails to sid blumenthal, a friend and confidant of hers looking to do business in libya. it is brought up regarding benghazi and her use of this public server. this doesn't end the controversy over this private server because we still have an fbi investigation ongoing. we expect at some point in the next couple of weeks she might get a call from the fbi asking her to sit down for an interview before that investigation is wrapped up. >> evan, reading the press accounts

but the rest of the state is on the eastern time zone. most of the state has been closed that 6:00. someone wins, he gets all the delegates. is that right? >> if someone wins the state you get the 27 at-large, then we have 3 automatic delegates, the rnc committeeman and woman and myself. the winner will get 39 delegates. and each congressional district will have three delegates. neil: i heard that donald trump wins by margins in those 7 districts he gets the delegates for those districts? >> that's right. if he wins the state he will get all 30 of those delegates. then if he wins the southwestern part area he's strong in that area, it's coal country, so i will have a lot of support. he will get the delegates within each one of those districts that he wins. >> the ted cruz thing, if that happened, he would get the three delegates? >> that's right. he would get the three delegates in that event. neil: tino you are on the republican side. on the democratic side, more delegates at stake. do they use the same model or not? >> no, they do not. it breaks down to it's jobs. it is jobs, and

kevin mickey, from the great hoosier state. mr. mickey is director of the polis institute at indiana university, purdue university in indianapolis. he's also the new chair of the multihazard mitigation council at the national institute of building sciences. i look forward to my colleagues learning about the work being done in the great these your state, particular -- hoosier state to address rising disaster costs and losses, plus the latest report from the multihazard mitigation council. mr. mickey's national leadership and local work are terrific examples of what indianapolis is doing in the field of emergency management. i yield back, mr. chairman. >> thank you, ranking member, carson. we will have two panels of witnesses today. on our first panel, we have our fellow subcommittee member, representative cur bello who knows all too well the risks posed by natural disasters and the efforts that have proven successful in florida to incentivize mitigation measures and smart behaviors. congressman curbelo has been a leader in this area

i firmly believe the state should be held cannibal for the students results. states are committed using additional flexibility funding to improve education outcomes for all kids. let us lead the way and thank you so much for allowing me to testify and i look forward to your questions. >> good morning, chairman alexander and senator murray and the rest of the help committee and thank you for your leadership on finally achieving the reauthorization of esea, long overdue. i'm tom ahart, superintendent of the des moines public schools with my seven member board of education i'm responsible for the education of the largest school district in the state of iowa. we are committed to meeting the educational needs of each one of our students by recruiting and supporting a team of talented professionals and in each of the 63 schools. our 33,000 students were born in 106 different countries and speak over 100 languages, qualify for reduced price meals at a rate of 75% and are 58% minority. that commitment is reflected in a steady increase in the graduation rate and in read

and some of the richest states. if you looked at the bottom effective states they included some of the poorest states in the country and some of the richest. this is really unlike any similar epidemic or law-enforcement problem i've ever seen in the traditional demographic is not a predictor. it is a rural, urban, suburban, it is all regions, i went to a drug court graduation, the founding drug court in virginia and the judge who founded it, he was a super, farsighted thinker about the need for drug courts had a child too, many years later was killed in a drug related incident. after i spoke at the graduation, one graduation, one of the probation officers who helps the court run and has done so as a spectacular advocate said this is my second drug court graduation this week and i said did you have never class and he said no i went to my son's graduation in a community two hours from here. this affects every level, that that is why we are now spending the time that we are, but we have not spent time in this committee

law and longstanding practice, the department of state leads u.s. delegations in negotiating with foreign governments on bilateral aviation agreements and arrangements, in consultation with the departments of transportation and commerce and other departments and agencies as appropriate. shortly after the president's december 17, 2014 announcement that the united states would be taking a number of steps to work towards normalizing relations with cuba, and after coordinating with all relevant agencies, the department of state approached the government of cuba to propose technical discussions on restoring scheduled commercial air service. for many years, all air travel between the united states and cuba has been via charter service. charter flights have adequately served the relatively low levels of travel between the united states and cuba during those decades of strained relations, but amid the process of normalization, the administration aimed to expand authorized travel and people-to-people contacts between the united states and cuba. by expanding p

i recognize the state has different systems. the flexibility provided allows states to focus on the most important and difficult work ahead. in contrast, the department negotiated the rulemaking process on supplement and not supplant. they were well intended, but it will have significant impact on drug focus away from student learning in service to unwieldy physical balancing acts. it is the responsibility of school leaders to put educators in front of kids that need them the most. qualifications, in service to kids, they contemplate optimal configurations, staffing patterns, and so many needs all with an eye for increased student achievement. i worry that the rules reduce these complex decisions to an overly simplified calculation which at the end of the day does not guarantee student access to quality educators. as a member of the negotiated ruling committee, i understand the arguments on both sides of the issue. i believe it is clear that the proposed regulations that supplement the plant exceed the department's authority unde

and it needs more implication of the united states. the united states has to be at the table. this crisis over the ukraine goes beyond ukraine, beyond europe, and into the geopolitical threat to many countries. that is the immediate focus we have to take. and the long run, we have to find a strategy how to define the security status of countries that do not belong to an alliance. the report calls them the countries in between. there is certainly a strategy needs that goes country by country. at issue is a particular situation. this is not enough. that is why our report asks for a comprehensive diplomatic initiative to rest these issues in the interest of the principles we have all agreed in the final act and in the paris charter. we should stick to it. this framework is solid. and it does not have to be rewritten. it just has to be followed. ivo: let's take the conversation to both parts of what you just talked about. jean-marie, you know where we are. we concluded and the one thing we agreed, 15 panel members including our russian colleagues, that the situation is dangerous.

you wouldn't do it in the united states. on earth thinks countries in northern europe would agree to things going back the way they were before? and that leads them down a single inevitable path. it means political union. there is no other way. there has to be a single government for the eurozone. there has to be a united states of the eurozone. the plans are already taking shape. angela merkel, the italian finance minister, french president, hollande, the presidents of the big eu institutions have all called for political union. it means according to president hollande a eurozone parliament, a common budget, and a common cabinet. inevitably, it means giving up independent nation status. that is the decision they took back in 1999, when they created the euro. in european terms, it really does mean finishing off our equivalence of the fictitious american union, not just with a parliament in panama city but with a single government for all the americas there as well. europe has no choice but to make its version of fiction a rea

it is a a busy day in the state of california. donald trump, bernie sanders and hillary clinton all holding events there in the last two hours. trump still going right now in anaheim, a day after violent protests at his rally in new mexico, or at least extremely spirited ones. today, the real estate billionaire went after his democratic candidate hillary clinton, his attacks were timely after this morning's news. an audit revealed hillary clinton broke the state deputy's protocols and rules by using her own private e-mail server. let's go to jacob wrasse cone who is outside the trump rally among the protesters. jacob, what's the scene like there? >> reporter: outside this event in anaheim, what we're seeing now are some clashes between the trump supporters and protesters here just within the last half hour. we had a group of protesters show up that was a lot different than the ones we've been seeing who have been more peaceful. these have their faces covered. they don't want to give their names. they don't want to say where they ar

from the states that require the daily sports sites to meet on line gamman requirements to the state senate passed legislation explicitly legalizing fantasy games it is critical to understand the role of the states in one impact their actions have on interstate commerce. consistently during his term of the subcommittee i focused on the struggles of small businesses in the regulatory environment. i believe small businesses are vital to our economy and understanding how they fit into this industry that is reportedly dominated by a few large actors is a critical piece of this puzzle. once again thank you to our witnesses for participating this morning and i would yield back my time and recognize the ranking member of the subcommittee the schakowsky for five minutes. smit thank you chairman burgess are holding today's hearing on daily fantasy sports. want to welcome all of our witnesses today. today's hearing comes down to one question, what should be the future of this multibillion dollar gaming industry? fantasy sports games pics fantasy teams of real sports players have taken off in re

than inside the united states. in paul robeson's case it was his moving to london in the early 1920s that allowed him to climb the ladder of personal success, allowing him to hobnob with the great and the good in london, allowing him to achieve what was one of his initial stellar accomplishments, which was played the role in the well-known shakespearean play and also to excel in movies, initially in london, although of course he did make his mark in hollywood nonetheless. but a turning point for paul robeson's life comes in the early 1930s when he is on his way to germany he confronts face-to-face the bared teeth of germany and the shakes them up tremendously and he goes on there to the former soviet union where he encounters a friend from harlem speaking of the late black lawyer, william l. patterson, a name you may recall because it was william l. patterson who led the charge in the case, the scottsboro case, the case of scottsboro nine that arrived in dixie in the early 1930s involving nine black youths accused f

plus, it is all about the golden state. all three candidates spending a lot of time there and money. they are in california right now. will trump be the first republican to win there in about 30 years? later -- >> usef was just four years old when masked men attacked him outside his bag dag home. >> it was such a touching story. this is now ten years after this tragedy. it turned into a story of hope. a cnn exclusive on an iraqi boy's amazing journey of survival and courage. his story here in the "cnn newsroom." >>> veterans affairs secretary, bob mcdonald, comparing the waiting time at v.a. hospitals to standing in line at disneyland. donald trump who has repeatedly said he is the best candidate for veterans. >> i love our vets. where are our vets? nobody like our vets and we're going to cherish our vets. we're going to take care of our vets. >> you might remember trump held that veterans fund-raiser instead of the debate that he was supposed to participate in back in january. since then, the trump campaign still hasn't dis

and let me speak now directly to the people of the great state, the beautiful state, my home state of north carolina. you have been told that this law protects vulnerable populations from harm but that is just not the case. instead, what this law does is inflict further indignity on a population that has already suffered far more than its fair share. this law provides no benefit to society and all it does is harm innocent americans. and instead of turning away from our neighbors, our friends and our colleagues, let us instead learn from our history and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. and let us reflect on the obvious but often neglected lesson that state sanctioned discrimination never looks good and never works in hindsight. it was not so very long ago that states, including north carolina, had other signs above restrooms, water fountains and on public accommodations keeping people out based on a distinction without a difference. we've moved beyond those dark days but not without a tremendous amount of pain and suffering and an ongoing fight to keep moving forward. let us w

that's not an issue in the southern states and other parts of the united states. i've heard other projects, though, in the midwest and northeast where that really wasn't an issue where the true wages that had to be paid on these projects would have been paid anyways, regardless of a prevailing wage law. that's not always the case. always i've heard this issue come up. let me say, though, this is national infrastructure week. happy national infrastructure week, everyone. it runs from today through may 23rd. part of the coalition we have on this includes not only labor, afl-cio, but also the u.s. chamber of commerce, the national association manufacturers and other major business groups in the united states. there is a very broad coalition that is supporting this issue. and if you look at all the polling across the political parties, there tends to be strong support for infrastructure. >> democrats' line, akron, ohio. james, hello. go ahead. >> yes. i'm looking at a lot of things. talking about infrastructure. first of all, ohio. that's what i'm more familiar with. w

the great state of nevada, silver state, the freest state in the nation.e.udly place our one vote for also peterson. and 11 votes for the next president of the united states , governor gary johnson. new hampshire. new hampshire is the freest state in the union. new hampshire was the last state to elect a libertarian state representative and soon we hope to make it again. new hampshire is the landing zone for the free state project. come to new hampshire and live free. because of the fine activism of libertarians, we are actually repealing laws we repealed one third of our homeschool laws and we are the first date to get out of real id. we were peeled laws of small breweries. if you call 911 because someone is sick, the police were not arrested for being involved in that activity. that was libertarianism. has eightconstitution articles protecting private property. we have an expensive way to conscience. and it was a right to revolution. we also have jury nullification and a whole bunch of other stuff. because new hampshire has the highest per capita of libe

i think 11 stops in the state within the past two weeks. outspend bernie sanders on television in kentucky, which is something she hadn't done in many previous states. she knew she needed to at least try to stall his momentum, if not win the state outright, and it look like she may well have done that. >> it looks like she is up here again 2,500 votes. if she does pull this out, reversal of what we were saying before, what does that say or do? >> think she'll be relieved if she gets one state tonight and she gets oregon. remember, he's won 10 of the last 12. we're looking at how much hillary clinton really stands to pick up bernie sanders supporters in november. trump's going after them very hard. he's trying to appeal to bernie supporters. she'll have to fight that from now until election day. they're not necessarily going to come around to clinton. and bernie sanders is not going to necessarily come around to hillary the way she did to president obama in '08. so this is going to be the biggest challenge for her going forward. >> panel, tha

if clinton wins florida and carries the 19 states plus d.c. have voted for the democratic nominee in each of the last six elections she'll be the 45s president, it's that simple. basically all she needs is florida. politico's latest survey of political insiders agrees. clinton will crush trump in november. among democrats the belief is nearly universal. 99% of democratic insiders surveyed said clinton will beat trump. and here's a really interesting one. today the cook political report put out their new electoral college rankings in light of the trump nomination on the republican side. these states were all previously listed as toss-ups. florida, colorado, virginia, wisconsin, all listed as toss-ups, now all recategorized as lean democrat. also some solid red states like indiana, missouri, and one congressional district in nebraska, now not necessarily so red. also the first one on that list, arizona, arizona no longer a likely red state. now it's just a lean red state. it's in arizona where republican senator john mccain has been explaining w

the cruz campaign is really blanketing the state. senator cruz holding five events, sending out governor pence and carly fiorina, the full contingent of cruz surrogates blanketing the state. they know how much is riding on tomorrow. >> thank you. phil, thank you as well. let's talk more about the battle for indiana. the strategy for the trump and cruz campaigns. joining us from dallas. katrina pierson, the national spokeswoman for the trump campaign and ryan, the national spokesman for the cruz campaign. thank you for joining us. katrina, donald trump once again the rigged system after delegate bat ltles over the weekend in arizona and virginia. here's the question. if trump doesn't get to 1,237 on the first round, will the so-called zombie delegates be your down faon tdownfall on the third round? >> not at all, wolf. it's because donald trump can win over the delegates. even those who came out for cruz in the beginning, we see reports now they're reconsidering donald trump and the reason is very simple. people want a candidate who ca

airpower pushed the islamic state out of here. said they killed around 300 terrorists in the two day offensive. this is what it takes to claim a city back from the islamic state. there is nothing left. any direction you walk, all you find is more destruction. one street after another. an entire city literally in ruins. we walked the shattered streets of the yezidi heartland with father patrick desbois, who was on his fourth trip to iraq. he told us what isis didn't destroy, kurdish forces leveled as they fought their way in. >> father patrick desbois: i asked the peshmerga, they told me it was the only way to make isis go. the only way to make them go is to destroy the city. >> logan: the only way to defeat them? >> father desbois: yeah, it's terrible. >> logan: father desbois has been studying the minds and methods of mass murderers like hitler most of his life and he'd come here to investigate the genocide of the yezidis by isis, an organization more sophisticated than he expected. >> father desbois: it's not easy to manage your

email practices for the last five secretaries of state. this record made clear that secretary clinton has not told the truth to the american people about her nongovernment server and email arrangements. as i have noted many times, secretary clinton's nongovernment server and those arrangements connected with it prevented the state department from complying with the freedom of information act. and let me explain. freedom of information act is so that the public's business can be made public when any citizen wants to request certain documents. secretary clinton used the private server to avoid the law that requires archiving federal records. it was designed to wall her email off from the normal treatment of a government official's email communication. the inspector general found that secretary clinton failed to surrender all official emails to the department prior to her leaving government service. the inspector general found that secretary clinton's email practices -- quote -- did not comply with the department's policies that were implement

do very, very well in the other five states. and i believe going into the convention, if we can do this, with a majority of pledge victory. second of all, we're going to talk to those superdelegates in states where we have won landslide victories. 60, 70, 80% of the vote to say do what the people in your state want. they voted for bernie sanders. you as a superdelegate should follow their wishes. third point and most important point. as you know, chuck, there are over 400 superdelegates who came on to secretary clinton's campaign eight months before the first ballot was cast. before anybody else was in the race. before they could get a sense of what the campaign was about. right now in every major poll, national poll and statewide poll, done in the last month, six weeks, we are defeating trump, often by big numbers, and always in a larger margin than secretary clinton is. we're going to make the case to the superdelegates, your job is to make sure that trump is defeated, b reasons, not just polling, is the strongest candidate. >>

the fight in the fall. key statesd trump needs to win to defeat hillary in the general election. >> we are mapping out the race to the presidency. >> one spelling error. >> first brian kilmeade with what is coming up on "fox & friends." >> he knows how to spell oz opposed to being arrested. a huge show ahead on "fox & friends", ladies. a bad night for hillary clinton. we will go inside those numbers. donald trump had a big night. he will join us live this morning. former first lady laura bush and one of her favorite daughters jenna bush hagger will be here live. they wrote a children's book. i can even understand it. it is very exciting. joe montana according to joel was a good quarterback. he's bringing his wife here with a personal story. that will be fun. he is also maybe the best quarterback ever. actor and model antonio saboto is here and he will talk about how he grew up in a communist country and how it taught him to appreciate america and why he is voting for trump. it is time to wash up and watch "fox & frien

the country. he was speaking at an event against homophobia. states, athe united long slog to become the democratic party nominee for president continues. hillary clinton take bernie sanders in 2 states today, kentucky and oregon. nationwide, she has a comfortable lead over her left-wing rival, but supporters where he a drawnout battle with sanders will hand ammunition to donald trump, who is all but certain to become the republican party candidate. reporter: another twin primary for democrat voters in kentucky and oregon on tuesday, with hillary clinton under pressure to pull further away from rival bernie sanders. hillary stands up for women , andhildren and families the violence in our country, the gun issue. oh, my goodness, so many issues. foreign policy. i think she is qualified. reporter: qualified perhaps, but former secretary of state is struggling in kentucky after comments vote putting coal miners out of business. that left sanders looking to the state's poor white demographic. the senator has found not to drop out of the price for the part

kentucky is one of the most white states in america. it is also one of the most stable states in terms of generation to generation. you're absolutely right and it is not going to go for hillary in the fall. why she spent money, i thought chuck todd made an interesting point. they're desperate to avoid losing a 21st time to bernie sanders, especially after nevada, that they're hemorrhaging resources there. she will lose california. bernie sanders is strong out there. >> let me ask you about trump. he has a balancing act between now and november. the part of him that appeals to people that find him appealing is this nationalism, the sense of americanism. us against them, a sense of the country we took from the indians. it is not about ideas. nationalism. and he is good especially with working people. then up against that are the constant discussions of his attitudes towards women, his comments, the way he shoots from the hip. he calls elizabeth warren poke ha -- pocahontas. how does it balance out? does he win with that frontal attack on t

of let the states decide. i think people should get more. >> that brings us to trump's tax plan. in september, trump unveiled a massive tax plan, with the top 1 opinions seeing a tax cut of$1 million according to the policy center. since then trump claimed if he was president taxes on the rich would actually go up. >> do you believe in raiing taxes on the wealthy? >> i do. i do. including myself, i do. >> for the wealthy, i think it's going to go up. it should go up. >> do you want taxes on the wealthy to go up or down? >> they may go up a little bit. >> they're going down in your plan? >> but by the time they're negotiated they will go up. >> he said he's saying taxes on the rich in the end would go down but by a smaller amount than his initial plan suggests. >> i'm not talking about a tax increase, i'm talking about a tremendous tax decrease. i could see the wealthy getting rich. i'm not talking raise from where they are now, talking about raise from my low proposal. >> almost like he tells whatever interview

department, if you are the secretary of state. of the year the state department says they plan to have purchased an off the shelf software package somewhere from someone, they'll see what's on sale, they'll try to have something by the end of the year that will allow them to preserve their records the way normal people do as a backup created as those files are made but until they get that off the shelf system in place by the end of this year, until then this is what you are supposed to do. this was the system that was in place when hillary clinton was secretary of state. here is how she officially was supposed to conduct her business as secretary of state in order to stay in compliance with all the rules about recordkeeping. send e-mail on any subject that might be related to government business, print e-mail, take printout off of paper, put it into a box. do not label it, don't file it in any way, don't index it. print it out and put it in a box. receive e-mail, print e-mail, take it off the printer and put it in the box. receive

the ninth largest state in america. the ninth largest state. we're number nine. >> trevor: somewhere the governor of the tenth largest state is like, damn you, mccory. quick rubbing it in. we're doing our best and takes out a golden number nine and is like, some day. i know which way i think this issue should go but i also get why this is an issue. as progressive as you'd like to be you have to acknowledge it must be difficult. the idea of transgender must be confusing. some people are just getting comfortable with ellen and now we're telling the same people, by the way, there are men who used to be women and vice versa or they may be in between and are part of society too and i can see how it may seem a lot to handle but the law exploits the fear and goes beyond bathrooms because it says gay and transgender people cannot be protected as a class which means it's okay to discriminate against them in employment, housing and every other situation. like just yesterday the justice department responded to north carolina's lawsuit by saying you want to

half the money came from state coffers; the other half, from participating counties and the state bar association. >> we were allowed five years to fill the original 16 slots; we filled them in a little over two. >> reporter: the program aims to entice young attorneys to live and work in a rural county in south dakota for five years with a cash stipend of $12,500 a year. kocheckian was in the first round of placements. >> and they give you a list of available counties. and so i looked up a lot of different, you know, schematics, with what mileage is from hospitals, from larger cities for shopping. and so i narrowed it down. spink county was absolutely perfect for me. >> reporter: she now works in redfield-- literally, a one stoplight town. population, a little over 2,000 people. her office is owned and operated by paul gillette, one of the two attorneys in the county before she arrived. >> so she came to redfield sight unseen, which was very strange from my perspective, i thought brave on her part. >> reporter: in theory there is a large group of people who could follow in kochekian's
