first up, the republican view tom cotton sits on the armed services and intelligence committees. for being here. i want to start with playing one of your republican colleagues about this briefing up on capitol hill and what he took from it. senator mike lee. >> with history our guide, consultation, it's not necessarily the same thing as authorization for the use of military force. a declaration of war or the aumf is what the constitution requires and a drive-by notification, or after the fact, a briefing, select when we just received, aren't adequate. >> bret: senator lee saying it's the worst military re-thing he's ever been to. your take? >> i thought that briefing this afternoon was very thorough. chairman of the joint chiefs millie explained his troops face an attack within weeks, not days per they reviewed with us the various options which the president shows, the list of options they prevented, and the president chose correctly, in my opinion. qassem soleimani has been a terrorist mastermind for years, the blood of many americans on his hands. if any american was harmed by

we now turn to arkansas republican senator tom cotton. good morning, and good to have you here, senator. >> good to be on with you, margaret. >> brennan: you raised concerns earlier this week that china was giving misleading information about what's happening. president trump has since thanked china for its transparency. have your concerns abated? >> so, margaret, given china's record of dishonesty and incompetence when it comes to dealing with these pentagon health emergencies like the sars outbreak, i think this is a case where an ounce of prevention truly does equal a pound of cure. we know from the outset earlier this month, local chinese authorities in wuhane as forthcoming, not as quick as they could be. xi jinping said they're going to try to stoielz the response to this. hopefully they'll be more transparent. things are very fast breaking, even as the president said what he did a couple of days ago. >> brennan: you think they're getting more transparent? >> they're apparently moving this that direction. i think we should be skepti

now back to mark levin. [♪] mark: senator tom cotton. a book, "sacred duty," it's a beautiful book. ways your relationship to this. >> between my tours of duty in iraq and afghanistan, i served in the old guard. it traces its lineage back to george washington. since 1948 it has been our nation's ceremonial unit. it has performed funeral ceremonies and most famously guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier. i conducted hundreds of funerals for our veterans and comrades. arlington get 4 million visitors a year. there have been many books written about a luno a -- writtt arlington cemetery. but i wanted to write a book about the old guard. mark: just to see what the men and women do with their uniforms, how meticulous they are with the medals and everything else, it's beautiful. so i want to thank you for that as well. i want to get into the foreign policy issue with israel. president trump has been the most pro israel president since there has been a state of israel. he promised certain things and did certain things. he has an 80% populari

. >> in an inter you view with "face the nation" republican senator tom cotton defended jay suck lowor repeating the widely dee dunked theory that ukraine meddled in the 2016 election. here is the testy interchange between tom cotton and margaret brennan. >> do you think it was a misstep for one of the president's lawyers, jay sekulow, to stand on the floor of the senate and repeat the conspiracy theory that ukraine meddled in the 2016 election? >> margaret, that's not a conspiracy theory. >> senator john thune one of your republican completion said he would prefer that the lawyers not do that because the intelligence community concluded that it was russia that meddled. >> sorks margaret, that's a democratic talking point. >> this is what john thune one of the republican leaders said. >> it's a democratic talking point that the president and his lawyers have argued that it was ukraine who interviewed in our elections not russia. you can read the president's brief. they make it very clear that, yes, you can accept that russia interfered in a systematic organized top down fashion in ou

retracing my shirts path now takes me to greece that's where the cotton comes from . greece produces 80 percent of the copy grown in the european union but that accounts for less than one percent of global production most of the cotton used in europe. it's imported from far away. the company but that source does things differently the family owned gun producer uses cotton from local farms but that isn't cheap. much you should cost about $20.00 europe's that's a lot more expensive than a comparable t. shirt from fast fashion industry. and credit quality has its price and if we're not prepared to pay for it as european citizens then someone in asia pays a price for us namely in the form of work for low pay in accordance with the fast fashion logic of producing more and faster so that we can pay less is a problem the bubble vessels company has to contend with just as the reversal of recent years has to do with high production costs and with the asian community which often is much lower prices yet as we are working on it the idea is to keep our entire production inside eu

but senator tom cotton told me last night that the war powers act is unconstitutional intrusion of congress into the president's constitutional authority is. every president of both parties has believed that since it was passed in 1993. second congress can act to cut off funding for military operations in a time it wishes and at the case goes back to george washington to be able to strike targets of opportunity to protect our nation. your response to him? >> you know what else goes right back to george washington? george washington's view that the president's inherent authority can be exercised without congress insofar as it's necessary to deal with an imminent or presently occurring attack. but it does require their approval of congress. focusing on the constitutionality of the war powers act is completely missing the point. the war powers act is best understood as a procedural

the people that duke ellington playing for at the cotton club were almost exclusively new yorkers. by the way, at the cotton club, although blacks sang and played, they were not allowed in the door to be customers. and duke ellington was asked about that. and as you might imagine, he had a very unsatisfactory answer, you know, as powerful man as he was, he could have said something about it. then again, the cotton club was named "theman killer" who was in jail at the time for various murders. perhaps one went along with his racial dicta. the harlem renaissance was not particularly widespread in its effect on race relations. in terms of how it changed music, in terms of how it chains -- changed literature, yes, it had an effect. in terms of how the average white looked at the average black, it did not have much of an effect unfortunately. but it is just a wonderful time. i don't know if you people share my adoration almost for hl mencken who, to me, is the most interesting journalist to read that this country has ever produced. but believe it or not, he was a leading figure of the h

circumstances i think that they would put stringent regulations around it yes but you're right tom cotton does advocate that. well now moving from that brand's economy right now is. close to this turning point as country prepares to formally leave the e.u. after nearly half a century of its membership so now what are the expectations for the economy now that is moving forward finally ok well actually just now literally just literally just recently the british building society has come out and said that housing growth has been the strongest and far stronger than expected this january unemployment remains at a low the lowest it's been at about 3.5 percent since $1075.00 and of course wage growth is fast i think the growth hasn't been so strong in terms of historically but it's about on par with or better than most of the g. 7 so what we're going to expect is i think everything will depend on that trade deal what the trade deal that boris johnson is able to negotiate with donald trump i think that the confidence is so high in the u.k. whether it's unemployment as i just mentioned unemployed

and more than 85,000 watch the nhl winter classic at the cotton bowl in texas.ello there and welcome to the programme, where we start with the footballing mikel arteta, beating manchester united 2—0 in north london. both goals came in the first half through nicolas pepe and sokratis as the gunners move into the top half of the table. it was arteta's third game since taking over at the start of last week and he's happy with how it's all going. i think the performance of the last two games were getting better, we we re two games were getting better, we were starting to see things we are really trying to implement, and today was perfect, new year, new opportunity against a big club. note time behind our fans, opportunity against a big club. note time behind ourfans, we had it all to get the win. —— note time. paul pogba missed the game with an ankle injury and according to 0le gunnar solskjaer, has decided to have an operation but not on the advice of the club. the norwegian spoke to the bbc‘s steve wilson. i know you explained prior to the game that is there a cur

on the cotton, it's also political. to update people quickly, there was a thing in the wto agreement amongst the unfairness, it was a rule no challenge would come, in the first eight years, the sunset, so the first to roll out challenge, the final ruling is friday. the wto has ruled u.s. subsidy program on cotton violates wto rules. now, what's very interesting is, if the cotton program violates wto rules, which has now been definily ruled, then about two-thirds of the u.s. farm program violates the rules, and we don't have time to talk about the details. if you are interested in farm policy, get the book and look at that chapter. basically different categories, subsidy, u.s. stuck ours in one box, the w.t.o. basically said, you are putting it in the wrong box. you can't do it. if that's true, half our ag programs are in the wrong box. if u.s. implements, interesting question, with farm bill right the year after next, u.s. theoretically by act of congress is going to have to amend farm act, which could be knock down fig

we have a great guest, senator tom cotton. we never met before. it's a pleasure. have an impressive background, harvard, harvard law school. but even more impressive, you served in the 101st airborne in iraq and later in afghanistan with the provincial reconstruction team in between tours you served with the old guard at arlington national cemetery. so you go to harvard law school, then you decide to go into the military? >> some people may say i redeemed myself by joining the army after going to harvard. i started my final year of law school in september of 2001, probably the second week of school i was in evidence class, this was when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we didn't have smart phones in the classroom. we all gathered together and watched the rest of the day as the towers fell down, and as flight 93 crashed in shanksville. we had a prayer vigil. from that point forward i knew i wanted to serve in our country's military. i thought about rushing out to join right away. friends in the military discouraged that. it was probably best to finish law school and

richard humphrey, proposed a regional strike of cotton pickers demanding wage rise. they were still striking for one dollar per day. this never really gets off the ground. lee county, arkansas, not far from phillips county, it kind of goes back, the groundwork that had been done in this part of arkansas, the freedom bureau had been active decades ago, the knights of labor were involved in lee county, mid-1880's. i have never been able to get to the bottom of it. knights of labor were still there when the strike happened. it is one of the few places where it comes off. an organizer from memphis named ben harrison comes in, organizing black cotton pickers and the rest of the south, the strike is ignored. humphreys thought in lee county, the strike actually happened. the short version. within two weeks, it evolves into a bloodbath. first the strikers start raiding plantations, violence breaks out, the strikers kill a white plantation manager. at that point, the phillips county sheriff forms a posse and the strike leader and strikers are captured and murdered in cold blo

for cotton to put those in an op-ed is misleading, at best, i would say. >> there's been a connectionhappening back home with impeachment stuff. there was a new report from the "wall street journal" on the u.s. strike. they say quote mr. trump after the strike told associates that he was under pressure to deal with general soleimani from gop senators that he views as important supporters in his upcoming impeachment trial in the senate, associates said. what do you make of all of this, and if that's true, you know, has trump, this is a silly question to ask but has trump crossed a line here? >> i do believe that, yes, he has crossed a line here because i think that for him, i think that's really fascinating, by the way, the piece, the nugget was buried deep in the "wall street journal" article that trump is surrounded by yes men who did not debate heavily his decision to kill soleimani, but if true, the idea that republican senators, that there was a consideration in trump's mind to take this act that has an impact on u.s. national security, that could possibly further threaten america

tom cotton was gone for a long stretch. rand paul has been in and out. blackburn decided to do a television hit during the session. obviously the senators, the argument at arms said at the start of the day they cannot speak on pain of imprisonment. that rule is not being really enforced. you can see a lot congregating in the back chak bembers. sometimes it happens where we can actually here at least mumblings up from the press gallery. >> 30 of them would be in the slammer right now if john roberts enforced it. seriously. they're talking in the chamber. they could be thrown behind bars by the rules of the senate. is lindsey graham okay? and i'm not kidding here. he's walking out of the room all the time. he was out repeatedly yesterday two days ago. then when the video was played of him, he wasn't in there. >> that's right. there have been various times when people have been named. jerry nadler was attacked on the first now, how he reacted to that. and obviously when there was clip played of lindsey graham from the senate trial, my immediate thought was

the cotton fields of mississippi. these sudden sales were meant in some cases to avert possible freedom, to avert what the law might dictate in a particular family that might have a legitimate claim to freedom. to place people suddenly out of the reach of the courts, to rip them away from their family networks, remove them from the possibility of being able to contact an attorney, much less gather witnesses for their case. how could one gather witnesses for freedom suit, having been sent to louisiana, if they were from maryland? so today, we are going to concentrate on the story, on the case of james ash versus williamsm h williams. this is a suit prior to dred scott where the chief justice also wrote the majority opinion, and i think it is important because this is a case where he creates a sort of legal fiction that he will later deploy in dred scott. i think you will see what i mean by the end. only when we look at cases like asher v williams and the long history of freedom suits can we see that the challenge they

he has dozens of enslaved people working in cotton fields. he's a large planter/slave holder. she bequeaths with the following p proviso. i'll quote this here. he shall not carry -- he, gerard, her at tnephew -- he sh not carry them out of maryland or sell them to anyone. in those events, i set them free for life. this will is unarguably clear. it's the last statement in the will. this is important for the court case. it's the last thing in the will. it's the final summation and she places this. he shall not carry them out of the state of maryland, i.e., to tennessee, and he shall not sell them to anyone, whether in maryland or elsewhere. okay. you're probably thinking, wait a minute, the will can't be the whole story here of the timing of this lawsuit. the will was in 1824. ash is sold in 1839. what happened? what happened in the intervening period? why is ash suddenly sold against the provisions of this -- obvious provisions of this will? first of all, we need to recognize for years gerard t. greenfield, the nephew, did nothing. he did not to violate the will. this will mean

senator cotton: iran escalated it. iran didn't take an offramp, they took a u-turn because they have no capability to fight against america, a superior adversary. they also know that we will no longer allow them deniability if they try to use terrorist proxies throughout the region. if a single american has harmed -- is harmed, they will face severe consequences. that is what happened december 27, and the consequences were severe. thank you all. [indiscernible voices] it is a far cry from meeting a standard of imminent threat. they had to leave pretty quickly, so about 10 to 15 attending senator scott to ask questions paid many others did not yet to ask questions. but based on the presentation was made, it does not meet to be what i consider an imminent threat. reporter: [inaudible] [indiscernible voices] senator menendez: i went into this briefing today with some critical questions that i wanted to hear the answers to, the eminence -- the eminence he of the threat, the nature of the threat, the intelligence that would

a man named richard humphrey, proposed a regional wide strike of cotton-pickers for $1. and two decades later they were still striking for $1 a day. this strike never really gets off the ground for the most part. but in lee county, arkansas, not very far from phillips county, it goes back to the groundwork that had already been done. in this part of arkansas the freedoms bureau two decades earlier and knights of labor involved, i have never been able to get the bond but knights of labor stole the county when it happens. this is one of the few places where a strike comes off a national labor organizer from memphis comes in and starts organizing mobile black cotton-pickers. in the rftest south the strike is ignored and press ridicules him. humphrey thought he would beat all of these african-americans on strike. in lee county the strike happens. i will give the short version, but within about two weeks it evolved into a bloodbath that first strikers raiding plantations, and an alliance breaks out and then they kill a white plantation manager and then the sheriff and posse i

tom cotton is another one. so is ted cruz. they have been working t try and keep up the pressure and military pressure on iran for months. who's been working on the other side? senator rand paul. now, remember, when that drone strike happened when iran shot down our drone? and we did not retaliate? rand paul had recently been talking to the president a that point. and he was advising him not to retaliate. nowe've had this strike, after he has spoken to lindsay graham. we don't know what happened. but it does seem like he has these two voicesround him, rand pul, lindsay graham, rand paul sha cricism today for the president. he said this is a president, as susa pointed out, who campaigned on ending perpetual war. news rand paul said on fox today, this could lead to exactly that. which is a striking comment from anlly. robert: nancy, when you hear what lisa just said about senator cotton and senator graham really being concerned about the president's policy in the middle east, does that reflect concer of u.s. allies in the reon a

among the contenders here she muses japan's reigning queen of cotton she became interested in kind of thing at the age of 9 and just 3 years later had already earned a black belt now 26 she's a 3 time world champion and has topped the japanese league in 7 successive idiots. i think. competitive karate there are 2 categories and take both have their own appeal and i'd love to see more people getting the chance to experience the 2 disciplines live. is the carrot equivalent of shadow boxing against an imaginary opponent the objective is to follow a pre-arranged choreography as perfectly as possible. for the 2020 games of the scoring system for kata 1st had to be adapted at the request of the international olympic committee instead of a straight vote by 5 judges now a panel of referees would points for technique lettuces of competitive events can choose which one of $102.00 permitted katas they want to perform. but it can fascinating thing about kata is that despite the fixed form i still have a huge amount of room for personal expression. unlike most other sports a kata comes with a heri

that was tom cotton on life and liberty. responding to some democratic lawmakers.ensions have escalated in that country. iranians taken to the street. what is this mean for the regime. i want to get your reaction of what senator cotton said there about the killing of qassem soleimani. if you are a soldier in the middle east you have a different opinion of this. that is especially in regards to this maximum pressure campaign. when president trump came into office he said he would replace it with something better. the architects of this maximum pressure campaign said that this was actually gonna make complicit to make the new deal. it has have the opposite effect. it has made war more likely not less likely. hopefully we can get something good out of it. if you just look at the impact the answer would be no. it's making them more provocative and lashing out more. when you don't have the possibility where they can talk to the americans where is the basis to even start. if you do something that moves that closer to war. that is not in our interest. he was pretty busy o
