the states decide. this is the culminating process of them rtmp running their individual -- of them running their individual state elections. they get their certificate of ascertainments that say very explicitly who these people are. those people are then sent to congress once those electors are counting and, congress, you don't get to say boo about it. because once we certify those elections in their states, they have to treat those as binding. so congress, get out of the way. host: we have about 10 more minutes until we expect this process to get under way. our next call is from andrew in alabama on the independent line. hi. caller: yes. i was wondering, what's stopping all states from counting their electoral votes like maine and nebraska where it's gone by congressional district nevada a winner take all vote? guest: great question. and this is where it's really helpful to keep in mind that we think we're running a national election for presidency but we're not. we're running 51 independent elections

clearly virginia is the most populous state in the united states and the confederate confederated states, if you will, at this point in time. so it gives it some obvious advantages. you might say. so there's an alternative plan that's put forward here. right. by william paterson of new jersey. so the new jersey plan. right. keep it simple here. virginia plan and new jersey. sometimes again referred to as a small state plan. all right. it was madison, by the way who came up with this large state versus small state kind of descriptor. and he was really thinking largely about population like larger states seemed to go more. he said, you know, and it's madison madison's to something here. larger states seem to go for the virginia plan. smaller states for the new jersey plan. right. well, the division a little bit clearer, actually. if you look land claims which states are landed which are land less and is that going to change ultimately moving forward because some of these states have trimmed wanda's western land claims right. which they are going to ultimately cede over to the national gove

ground for out-of-state trash. it is just not going to happen. [applause] lastly, before i close, and just in case you forgot -- because i know it's been a few months since there have not been all of those ads on the tv. but if you send me legislation that further restricts access to abortion beyond our current law, i will veto it. [applause] new hampshire is a beautiful, wonderful state. joe and i were both born here, we love this state. i want to thank you for the privilege of a lifetime of serving as your next governor, and protecting what makes us unique. it is so much more important than one person or one party. i want you to know that i will be a governor for everyone. and please know this, even when we don't see eye to eye, i will always look to bring us together. i could not be more optimistic about our shared future. but at the same time, we have real challenges that we have to take head-on if we want to keep our state moving in the right direction. voters are expecting us to find better ways, to make sure

the states decide. this is the culminating process of them rtmp running their individual -- of them running their individual state elections. they get their certificate of ascertainments that say very explicitly who these people are. those people are then sent to congress once those electors are counting and, congress, you don't get to say boo about it. because once we certify those elections in their states, they have to treat those as binding. so congress, get out of the way. host: we have about 10 more minutes until we expect this process to get under way. our next call is from andrew in alabama on the independent line. hi. caller: yes. i was wondering, what's stopping all states from counting their electoral votes like maine and nebraska where it's gone by congressional district nevada a winner take all vote? guest: great question. and this is where it's really helpful to keep in mind that we think we're running a national election for presidency but we're not. we're running 51 independent elections

blue states. certainly on the federal level, sometimes in congress you see that. but i think the running of states is much more complicated than that. i think there's a lot more nuances and approaches of governors from the same party, it may be southern governors have different approaches. so i just really encourage you to get to know your governor and where they are. i don't describe myself as liberal or conservative. i describe myself as pragmatic because as a governor we need results. we need more and better jobs for our people and affordable and accessible health care for our people and good, safe roads for our people. we want our communities to be safe for our people. when you look at those day-to-day and nonpolitical results we have to secure, even if we go about it differently. it doesn't break down the same way. andrew: we're going to run out of time. but on a practical level, governor sanders, you didn't sell this, and which is why i would move to arkansas. she would start a pilot program

we don't think that there is going to be any change in that. >> this will be state-by-state.y will go through this process and electorally, he is going to surpass the needed number, three quarters of the way through. this is the final certification. this sets up the inauguration. it is also a moment that you obviously reflect back to what happened four years ago. we know that the president-elect soon to be president again has pledged to pardon or offer some relief to some of the jan january 6th rioters. there's questions about, you know, how many and who and what their charges were approved we are going to be following that. it's probably going to happen in the early days of his pres presidency. >> everyone talks about the first 100 days of the presidency. talking about the first 100 days. i think this presidency will be marked in the first ten days. >> i think they have a list of things they are going to roll out executive orderwise. and other efforts. the big question now is this battle between one big bill or two bills on reconciliation. the president in an interview today

the association has worked state-by-state to change some of the laws. and i will just mention one very quickly, the seatbelt gag rule. you can have an accident and have severe injuries, but the injuries may be are caused by the faith -- the person being ejected from the vehicle because they didn't have a seatbelt. there's a few states where that law has been changed. but touching on the tort reform, i guess there's three things from a federal level. that is making it a crime to stage accidents. , putting on than to third-party financing. if you don't know what third-party financing is, i would challenge you to go to youtube and look at a few years back, a 60 minutes episode on third-party financing. they tell you that it is a lot better investment than in stock market returns. but the final aim is to move claims to the federal court. maybe it is a 750 million dollar claim or $750,000 claim which of the minimum insurance, or if it is a million dollars, i know this would may be tax the federal courts. but we need some type of protection in our industry fr

united states was not involved. is this an indication of a more robust and engage strategies for policy in real deep dispute? well, i would say china's effort to achieve a refresher bond between saudis and the radians. it was a turning point in chinese diplomacy. why? because the full decades shouldn't have very good relations with saudi arabia on the one hand and with the wrong. on the other hand, many times so these will tell china, well, given our special relationships, why them to downgrade your relationship with the wrong kind of said know, china. so what do you, relations are very important about china? uranium relations also very important and to launch the same thing. but sooner or later, trying to reach the point and trying to sense, why couldn't i bring michael relations with the saudi arabia and my relations with iran to the same table. bring the 2 great countries together and convinced them that refreshment is better. i think that's the turning point and it so fortunate that both the saudi arabia's and t

in our beautiful state capital. we referred to this building as the people's house and for good reason. this is the place where their government deals with their business. everything that happens here begins and ends with them. and it's because of them, their energy and creativity, their resilience and goodness that i can say once again the condition of our state is strong. cost of living and third for opportunity. we are also number four for healthcare and educational choice, and we have ranked the six best state overall, but always number one in my mind. there really is so much to be proud of. we've reduced taxes saving iowans more than $24 billion over ten years. no more tax from retirement income. no inheritance tax starting this month iowans get to keep even more of the money they earn with a 3.8% flat tax, a far cry from 8.98% of six years ago. we've transformed with our state in acts of the citizens, businesses and entrepreneurs, shrinking and aligning government so that our tax cuts are sustainable. we have

to move to our state, a state that would respect them. several times over the past few years when other states excepted piles of federal money with strings attached to leftist policies, south dakota said no thanks. we've defended our second amendment more than any other state. the first bill i signed as governor was constitutional carry. we blocked local governments from using emergencies to seize people's firearms. we strengthened stand your ground laws. i signed an executive order to protect our god-given right to keep and bear arms from being infringed on by financial institutions. we made south dakota the first state in america where it will not cost you a penny to exercise your second amendment rights. thomas jefferson once wrote a letter to james madison where he said i prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.

it's only the state. israel. the state of israel. you know, we've we've made some very good friends who arab muslims, the state of israel. i mean, i have a dear friend who used to be the chairman of the largest in israel. he's a muslim. he's an arab israeli citizen. doctors, you know you get you get hurt. and you all you probably know this. i mean, you know you get hurt in israel. you got to go to a hospital a pretty good chance. you're going to get an arab doctor. arab, you know, it's almost non-arab pharmacist. right. so you israel has and they don't see credit for it and they don't take credit for it's a shame. but israel has the ability to empower and respect its arab minority. so the idea to me is like, well, is everybody trying to, you know, push a square peg into a round hole, take a people who've become radicalized who hate israel, who have shown that they've given they've been given the chance, you know, you know, in gaza no -- living in gaza. and that seems thousand and five. no, no, no, no soldiers set foot in gaza since 2

rather we should understand that united states is a vassal state of israel. we saw when leaving nothing yahoo came to washington and he got a record number standing ovations. practically every sentence. he said in congress, it was a standing ovation for longer than the sentence took to say it was, it was absolutely ridiculous. it was disgusting to see a foreign leader applauded in this way when he is carrying out this genocide in the middle of the east attacking multiple countries. and this is what the united states has been reduced to as a vassal state of israel. and trump understood that to his credit, perhaps from a campaigning perspective and took advantage of it during his campaign. and now we're going to read the consequences of that during his administration. you know, my goal is alexander brings up a good point. i'm not necessarily, i don't think i really necessarily agree, i mean as a facile of state, it seems to me that america, the american foreign policy, once continued hedge emani, particularly in the middle east. and israel is its proxy and well

aliens and dollars flowing into our country from enemy states including terrorist states and terroristions. what are we doing about it? we have open borders. we have no vetting of millions of people coming from terrorist states. we have tens of thousands of people coming into this country. single adult males of military age, what are we doing about it? we are giving their welfare benefits, don't you know? maybe even visa visa cars cominm venezuela, coming from all kinds of countries but do not worry we are told by liberals, do not worry we are deporting more than ever before. that is pretty funny. with tens of millions of illegal aliens in this country but do not worry we are deporting more than ever before. isn't that a strange comment? it is a ridiculous comment. we are flying people in here. we are pretending illegal aliens are legal. we are doing everything a weekend to bring people into this country terrorists, criminal, venezuelan gangs, it does not matter. and yet they tell us they are deporting more than ever before. we have social media platforms that are being exploited by te

united states was not involved. is this in indication of a more robust and engaged chinese foreign policy in real deep dispute? well, i would say china's effort to achieve a rough pressure bond between saudis and the radians. it was a turning point in chinese diplomacy. why? because the full dictates shuttle have very good relations with saudi arabia on the one hand with the wrong. on the other hand, many times so these will tell china, well, given our special relationships, why them to downgrade your relationship with the wrong kind of said know, china. so what do you, relations are very important about china? uranium relations also very important and to launch the same thing. but sooner or later, trying to reach the point and trying to sense, why couldn't i bring michael relations with the saudi arabia and my relations with iran to the same table. bring the 2 great countries together and convinced them that refreshment is better. i think that's the turning point and it so fortunate that both the saudi arabia's and

it is a challenge between effectively red states and blue states. states saying, that's not legal here. don't send those medications here. blue states, this is in the best interest of women, we're going to treat them accordingly. even if it's not ultimately successful, there is the chilling effect that can have on doctors that want to do what they think in their eyes is the right thing for these women. >> so look, we know there's a reason that ken paxton is going after this new york doctor. it's also an opportunity for them, much like they did on immigration, much like they did by busing immigrants to other states. they are trying to make the case. that there is something wrong with doctors from one state, taking care of patients from another. they know and we said this last year, and the last time this went to the supreme court. they know medication abortion is popular. they know it is very easy to access. that it is a back door. it is a way around abortion bans in red states. they have absolutely no interest in letting their constituents have acce

fast-forward to 2022, the ftc and a group of state enforcers including my home state of iowa filed a big, important case trying to protect farmers against the couple of chemical giants that were depriving farmers of low-cost input. both the ftc and the doj have also taken action to keep food costs down for consumers. the antitrust division sued the company for driving up and allowing big meat processors to drive up the cost of meat for american consumers. the ftc for its part, along with another bipartisan group of states, just successfully blocked the kroger and albertsons mega merger that would've driven up food prices for american consumers and driven down wages for american workers. now all that being said, i do think a lot of work remains to be done in these areas. so looking ahead, that is why i am especially excited about this new consensus we are here to talk about today. >> very good. thank you. excellent testimony. next up, ms. cooley. >> thank you. for over 100 years attorneys general around the country have united to tackle consolidation. in my nearly 20 years experience

so we are much more vulnerable to trade sanctions from the united states than the united states as vulnerable to us 1st. and as i say, this is a result of decades of needing and government policy. what we should have done was we should have diversified our trade relationships, even particularly with the major countries in bricks. but instead we just got more and more reliant upon and vulnerable to united states. and i think trump is quite cognizant of this vulnerability, and he's going to use it in order to make the gun, the country more subservient than the number of ways, including militarize in our border. which is precisely what a true though did with the support of a number of provincial premier's as soon as trump. yeah. making noises about a 25 percent tariff in fact we don't get it off tomorrow. lago within 2 or 3 days of trump, the screen this thread and basically capitulated, came back to canada and said he was setting up something called the joint strike for us to enforce the board or not. so i believe that we are headed into a period of even greater our canadian subservience to was
