once again, welcome to the city of taft. glad to have you over here.people truly understand what the petrochemical industry does, what petroleum does for them, day to day on every single day, it would just absolutely blow up some of the misconceptions. simply take a look around. if you're sitting in your living room and you're comfortable where you are, what are you wearing? are you wearing just wool and cotton? are you wearing polyesters and nylons and rayon? the oil and gas industry and the petrochemical industry create so many benefits, and all of these things that impact quality of life are things that people are taking for granted. man 2: they are essentially putting their heads in the sand and saying, "we're gonna drill, baby, drill until we can't drill no more, either by an act of god or because an act of government, and i think that's irresponsible. man 1: e quality life in the united states of america, the state of california, the globe is going to be the marriage and the efficient use of all of our available technologies, but if we learn and

there's a granted and i was going to say helen taft, you know, helen taft everybody says she got her husband to the white house because he was in line for an appointment to the supreme court under theodore roosevelt and helen taft got wind of that and she went over and met the president and talk to him and after she did the president talk to her husband and said i can see why an appointment to the supreme court is not what you want at this time. and then of course taft went ahead and won the presidency and the story is that helen rushed down from her seat in the in the capital where he was being inaugurated and gotten the car because before then the assistant always rode back to the white house with the new president and she made sure she was sitting beside her husband and rode back and then when they they got there they walked in and this is perhaps apocryphal but she said, okay i made you president now, let's see what you'll do with it. so, yes, unfortunately, you know, she had a stroke a couple months later and so much of the joy that she would have found in the white house. unfor

in '52, it was either eisenhower or robert taft. taft represented the conservative outsiders.n nixon and lodge, goldwater and rockefeller, and then, again, nixon and then rockefeller. but there's always a split inside the republican party between the conservative outsiders and the more moderate insiders. this, of course, happens in 1980. reagan represents the conservative outsiders and bush represents the more moderate insiders and this is the fight over, you know, the nomination, the future of the party boils down to these two individuals. >> tell us about it. >> well, it was a seesaw battle for a while because reagan kind of coasts. reagan is in his worse when he's not challenged. reagan is at his best when he was challenged. it was -- reagan needs to be challenged. he doesn't take the george bush challenge seriously and he ends up losing the iowa caucuses in january of 1980 which was a stunning, stunning upset to the political world. it's enormous. it's huge. reagan had been a radio broadcaster in iowa all through the '30s. he was from nearby illinois. he's a local hero. an

and had robert taft. in fact, there was a meeting between the two men and eisenhower said if you'll to support say nato. and the united nations the european defense community. i will i will publicize this letter. i'm holding saying that i am not a candidate for president. in 1952 taft would not agree to the to that statement. that he tap we continue to oppose those organizations. and so eisenhower decided to run largely for those reasons against taft and then given his popularity. just in general was able then to easily win the election once he had won the republican nomination which took a little more work. but at any rate to get quickly into this slide. and when we're talking about the greatest things that i saw us accomplishments or as failures that we'll discuss. i like to use his words. and he thought in terms of foreign policy at the end of the korean war. was the first one as sam said the war it's still made it became a big problem president truman eisenhower during the campaign in october of 1952

you can find william howard taft and other republican conservatives who say the same thing of wilson and roosevelt. that some political changes are constitutional changes may be necessary to handle the new conditions of large-scale enterprise and commerce and large-scale immigration social and economic side of the new conditions of america at the beginning of the machine age and electric age and the new technologies changing the world. there is something to that. there is a reformist generation in the democratic party. and they try to figure out if wages and hours or laws are needed and if they are constitutional are kept constitutional or how can regulation antitrust and other kinds also be squared with a constitutional system that lacks such things for the first 125 years or so. i am sympathetic to the attempt to figure out what marginal changes can be made to address the real problems of the age. but don't do permanent or extensive constitutional damage along the way. that was the debate going on in the first couple of decades of the 20th century among come among progressives amon

you know, in '52 it was eisenhower or robert taft and the conservative outsiders is that then nixon and lodge, goldwater and rockefeller and then nixon and rockefeller, but there's always a split inside the republican party between the conservative outsiders and the more moderate insiders and this happens again in 1980 and reagan represents the outsiders and this is the fight over the nomination and the future of the party boils down to these two. >> tell us about it. it was a seesaw battle and reagan is at his best when he was challenging and mike told me he was the most competitive s.o.b. he ever knew and reagan needs to be challenged even though he doesn't rise to the occasion. he doesn't take the george bush challenge seriously and he ends up losing the iowa caucuses in january of 1980 which was a stunning, stunning upset to the political world. it's enormous and it's huge and reagan had been a radio broadcaster in iowa in the '30s and he was from nearby illinois and he was a local hero and george bush is from new england and texas. he has, you know, less ties to new england than he

we got a little clarification on what vice president kamala harris's role will be, president biden taftarge of the border. the clarification is she's not going to be in charge of the new plan which we don't have the details of but to deal with the root causes so our viewers understand there's a push factor from the northern triangle of honduras, guatemala and el salvador and our pullback, jen psaki was clarifying harris's role will be dealing with that pushback, the violence and poverty in central american countries. here is what she said at the white house yesterday. >> the vice president of the united states will be helping lead that effort specifically the root causes, not the border, there is some confusion over that. >> she better get moving dealing with those root causes because we are hearing a caravan already forming in honduras. carley: president biden says everything is fine, nothing has changed despite the fact is the dhs secretary says we are currently experiencing a 20 year high in illegal immigration. president biden blame that on climate change, crime, violence in those c

if this policy was put in place -- you can't blame president trump for taft, and the cdc.en making those decisions. >> emily: i have to point out, remember even honest when the doj announced they were looking into this policy in multiple states, including new york. they also said -- attorney general there, the ag in massachusetts, brought criminal charges against two officials of the veterans home there, where 76 died. criminal neglect. their defense was that they relied on medical professionals. we are watching that player. your point, there is distinction, no different to new york and other states, or between the policy in massachusetts and new york. >> harris: joey. >> joey: this doesn't happen in a vacuum. it was like there's nowhere else for these people to go. we had a ship in the water from new york city that had hundreds, if not thousands, of empty beds. we had facilities that were never used. it wasn't like there was nowhere else to send these people. this was stubborn is an action come and cost lives to cover it up. it's sad, but more than anything, it's infuriat

after he had dealt chabilly with a close friend of the president the future president william howard taft who was a civilian governor in the philippines. he did have other commands, but he expected to become chief of staff the united states army, but never did receive that appointment and when he died in 1912, he died with an element of bitterness. so father of douglas macarthur is an important figure in his life. douglas macarthur entered west point in 189 here he is as a cadet. he graduated at the top of his class with some of the highest marks ever received there. only a couple of people actually did better one was robert e lee. he was a dashing figure tall trim and handsome. his mother nicknamed pinky followed him there to manage her son's social life and see that he excelled. and she stayed with him ultimately until her death in 1936. so she was very formidable person. and keep played certainly. there's no question as we'll see a key role in his life helping to shape his personality. after west point after he graduated he joined his father briefly in asia, but returned to washington

you can find, you know, root and william howard taft and other republican conservatives, if you wanto call them, conservative progressives really in a way who say the same thing that woodrow wilson and teddy roosevelt say, which is that some political changes and perhaps constitutional changes may be necessary in order to handle the new conditions of large scale enterprise and international -scommerce and even large scale immigration, the social as well as the economic side of the new conditions in america at the end of the, you know, at the beginning of the machine age and of the electric age and of the new technologies that are changing the world. and there's something to that. i think there is a reformist generation in the republican party and in the democratic party, more so in the republican party, actually, than in the democratic party in those days. who are trying to figure out whether wages and hours laws are going to be needed, and if so, are they constitutional, how can theyey be kept constitutional,lg how can regulation, antitrust regulation and other kinds also be squared

will see very cleverly things were put off like the anti-saloon headquarters, which is where robert taft park is crossing the u.s. capitol. put the methodist building which is across the from the supreme court. the temperance headquarters, and around all these buildings you will see these dots because all over the city there were raids taking place. he really wanted to show that d.c. was not a wet -- not a dry city at all. one month later, the washington post got one of its greatest scoop they have ever got with watergate as well as the pentagon papers. this was a great scoop on its own and that they got the main bootlegger from congress to come forward and tell his story. that man's name was george cassidy. here is a picture of him, better known as the man in the green hat. you can see his hat in the background. he was the main bootlegger for congress for 10 years starting in 1920. he got arrested in 1925 and after that, he spent a short. in jail. after that, he shifted, by the way he worked in the cannon house office building. they gave him an office in the basement so he could supply

that was taft. so, that is in our inventory. that's our facility. as far as all the other facilities, the -- the ten that we currently have. they belong to the private, sir, and i can't answer what they'll be used for. you would have to ask the -- the vendors about that. but they're not our facilities. we just pay them to house our inmates. >> okay. i -- i do appreciate that. and i know the government, from time to time, identifies things to privatize because sometimes they can save the taxpayer dollars and -- and -- and these tight and soon to be even tighter fiscal times, we need to make sure that we're keeping cost low and quality of services high. so again, director, thank you very much. >> thank you. and the chair recognizes mr. ruppersberger for three minutes. >> hello? okay. do you hear me? i'm on -- okay, great. got it. show time. i want to get back to the question of safety standards in prison. pre-existing respiratory and cardiac conditions are factors that can exacerbate the spread of covid-19 among the 2-plus-million people incarcerated

if you have just joined we are on public discussion of agenda item 5 enforcements division taft report. please press star 3 to be added to the queue. you have three minutes, six minutes with an interpreter. you will hear a bell with 30 seconds remaining. please stand by. >> we have no caller in the queue. >> public comment on agenda item 5 is closed. i want to recognize commissioner bush for his final comments before we proceed. commissioner bush. >> thank you, chair ambrose. i request whether or not we have authority to bar people from being appointed to city positions while we have pending enforcement actions against them on unpaid fines? in the past i have seen cases where someone was appointed by the mayor and was forced to resign from office under circumstances and reappointed by the board of supervisors. unless we have some sort of steps that include disallowing people to be appointed to city appointments, i don't know there is anything that would interfere with that taking place even if someone owed a million dollars. is there something?

of judicial nominations plocd from getting to the floor, more than 1,300 appointments by president taft were filibuster filibuster the. not only does this past practice show no distinction between legislation an judicial nominations in lardz to the recognition -- regards to the recognition of minority rights, the formal rules of the senate never recognized such a distinction except for a 30-year stretch when legislation was made subject to cloture but nominations were not. do my colleagues hear this? all of those who think that a judge is more entitled to a vote than legislation, in 1917, it was decided that absolute unlimited debate should be curtailed and there needed to be a two-thirds vote to cut off debate in order to bring legislation to the floor. but there was no change with regard to judicial nominations thrrvetion a requirement of unanimous consent to get a nominee voted on, so much for the tart that the constitution leads for the vote on nominations more. it flies in the fact of the facts and intent of the framers. it certainly undercuts the claim that there has been by tradi
