what netanyahu is offering us is not a state, is not a solution. what they are offering us is a system of apartheid. a system where we have one state practically with two systems of laws, with israelis oppressing palestinians, with an occupation that has become the longest in modern history. today you have seen what they have done. a real massacre. for years we were told by foreign ministers, by prime ministers of the world, why don't you palestinians march peacefully like martin luther king did, like gandhi did? i have been advocating that. hamas accept it. >> let me ask you this. >> you saw what happened. >> we did. prime minister regretted the bloodshed. enough of blood and tears. they signed the accord on the white house lawn. there was a lot of blood and tears today. we heard from the original non-violent protesters who said when they started that they wanted it to be non-violent. it looks like hamas hijacked it. you have to admit that. doesn't that just constantly, constantly play against you? it's enough already. >> they didn't hijack it. >>

that is a decision that often happens with campaigns a state efforts. i would not be suppressed to see the clintons out there. >> to do you think it will be helpful? >> starting with president clinton and there being a record, there certainly continues to be a strong level of support for hillary clinton. there.t to see them out i think the clintons will always be helpful. the question is asked is because republicans have already been running ads digitally and on tv against hillary clinton, who is not running for anything. is -- there is an effort by republicans come every time the clinton say something off script. a common and probably tired campaign tool. but things change. republicans have been challenged by unpopular leaders in their own party in these primaries. it will surprise me to some extent in general that some popular republicans that are getting more talked about, whether it is paul ryan or mitch mcconnell. >> how much do you expect to run against mitch mcconnell? in alabama last are, we saw some unique factors in that case. republican voters

>> gave the states a choice in conjunction with the regulation of the area. >> the states were told that if you don't if you don't regulate neither will we. >> consequence of that that the states could regulate according to the standards established by the federal government with respect to interstate commerce that it was left to the federal government that is a direct command to the states without any effort with sports wagering. >> that is the obvious example. >> yes and that is a good example because in that case the congress of the united states took responsibility with respect to regulation and that statute is regulating in different respects. >> we don't want the groups to be regulated. that is a feder statute and we do not regulate their prices the free market does. here they say we are not going to regulate sports gambling at all we will not forbid it and we want you to forbid it. >> i do see the analogy and the case that which you are referring discusses in great detail the scheme which included as a portion of the scheme was a preemption of the state from regulating conditions

steve: what one state will be a bellwether for the democrats this year? >> he kept mentioning the five or 10 states, i am still watching west virginia even though don't like and ship was not successful. i've heard from some democrats following that race, they consider morrissey to be the biggest threat. claire mccaskill in this area think as someone who is honorable good -- vulnerable . >> dave? >> i heard the opposite about west virginia. the congressman from west virginia who they be in the primary, they were worried about sell -- morrissey they they saw to finding him. can they run on their own brands? west virginia is a perfect test. a talented politician who has a strong brand for decades in the state, i think about a third of the electorate voted for romney and him on the same day in 2012 good -- 2012. i think that could keep a mediocre republican candidate in the race. you forth of you, and your questions and insights. we appreciate it. ," this weekend on "afterwords james clapper with his book "facts and fears." he is interviewed by democrat jim hi

a way it does. because i think what's going on here is that seattle, like the state of oregon, like a lot of other statess a big problem with its public pension obligations. oregon has been described as one of the states that does have difficulty meeting public pension obligations. >> paul: washington state does too. >> a lot of states have thatpr problem. the rubber is hitting the road. cities are cutting back on public services. that's what i think has happened to seattle. >> paul: there's a competition goingg on where amazon is lookig for a so-called second headquarters. it's 20 states that made the cut on they're. trying to whittle it down. will that have an effect on that contest. >> it certainly should, paul. as a floridian, i love that seattle is doing that because it will drive for jobs to my beautiful home state that has low taxes and is welcoming to businesses. as we said in our editorial this week, amazon should cross seattle off the list along with every other city like austin and denver that piped up and sported supported this mess. >> paul: a lot of different cities are -- some of them even

first you need to have a state a real strong state strong institutions strong all of law and then and suddenly only after you can have. democratic elections elections do not create is table state just by the by my ocado miracle. so. it's probably needed of course to have elections but i don't think that number one and the conditions on the ground zero. exist for a electoral process where cities like free a lot susceptible to be intimidated and number two even if this election's held i don't think that it will make baith sells a strong state so it's it's just a half a in measure it's not i think that ok we hope that america will it's going to happen but i'm not sure that it will re-enter and i mean for the french president this is a in this toric moment but you know as many say the reality on the ground is quite differently if i have to for example recently said when he returned back how that he told people don't trust the internet the democratic institutions you have to ultimately trust the military is this something that could just give you an idea about what could happen next in the

steve: what one state will be a bellwether for the democrats this year? what one are you paying close attention to? alexi: he kept mentioning five of the 10 red states where there are democratic senators. i'm still watching west virginia, even though don blankenship was not successful. i've heard from some democrats risseyhey consider mor to be the biggest threat to senator manchin. and claire mccaskill in missouri is pretty vulnerable. i don't think that is we should one forget now. steve: dave? dave: i heard someone say the opposite about west virginia. they worry about the congressman from southwest virginia who they beat in the primary. they were worried about him. i would continue watching that race though. era isstion of the trump whether people can still run on their own brands or whether the reality tv president can make every race about supporting me or not supporting me. and west virginia is a perfect test. manchin is a talented politician. about half of the electorate voted for romney and him on the same day in 2012. it's a relatively mediocre r

, turned a corner in environmental regulation, has become one of the leading states in environmental success relative to our environmental challenges. we currently produce one-third of the nation's crude oil, 30% of all refining capacity is located within our borders, and a quarter of all u.s. natural gas production comes from texas. balancing this, we also are the largest wind-producing state in the u.s. with over 20,000 megawatts of capacity. solar energy production is ramping up, and if you consider the projects we have in queue, we should have close to 3,500 megawatts of utility scale solar constructed or being built by 2019. we produce and consume more energy than any other state. in addition, the population of texas is increasing rapidly. since 2000, it is estimated that our population has grown by over 8 million. it's no secret that texas is hot and these 8 million newcomers to the state have no doubt discovered the benefits of air conditioning, which requires a significant amount of power. it's also no secret that texans like their cars and 34i8on new texans

so it was a listed as a two state solution and of the option of a third is not doable for the palestinians and of the option of one state it was not the will for the israelis what will this leave palestinians and israelis with i think the this narrative of historic palestine is definitely becoming more popular among the palestinian officials just the other day mahmoud abbas said that palestine is for the palestinians it is not as the jews claim the land of their ancestors so he does seem to be questioning israel's right to exist on those lands and i wonder if that does not make it easier for israel to paint you as anti semitic rejectionists president mahmoud abbas went to the security council in february twentieth two thousand and eighteen and his speech last week of the palestine national council reiterated our commitment to the two state solution where the state of palestine where these duracell limits its capital will live side by side in peace and security with the state of israel and he called for an international conference and he was willing to come to moscow about then with a shot

there is a new york state decision in the u.s. court of appeals in the second circuit, that says simply in new york it's a crime to possess a firearm. a firearm is defined as a handgun in new york. it's only what is called a defense to that if you have the license. i just think it is a shoddy way to deal with the constitutional right. you wouldn't say you have to have a license to engage in free speech -- i mean maybe to do a demonstration in public and people also pretty much agree it's legitimate for a state to require a license to carry a concealed weapon, but just to keep a gun at home and to require a license for that, you've got to get a license so they don't commit unreasonable searches and seizures or any other topic. it is something that really demeans what a constitutional right is. >> i just been reading a little bit recently, the national review had a piece about gun violence restraining orders and i'm sort of new to learning about these. i'm just curious your views on -- about your views on those. >> it is already a cr

world state but a national and state in them is a nightmare for winnie's ways britain also is intervening it is giving aid to the palestinians and selling snow. arrivals to the israeli defense for forces what do you think of what britain has been saying i should say the foreign office says there is they don't know alastair but says he doesn't know whether any of those sixty two people men women and children any of them were killed with british weapons and the law also which weapons were used but i can feel for me is someone who supports the idea of two states and would like to see israel and palestine he in the future peacefully next to each other the british position is very disappointing i thought it could be more courageous especially because of the british history in the region because the british government knows this means how one sided is the american position and. position is probably leading to the destruction of the two states idea that britain is supporting so long i thought britain is who and its government recouped allies in palestine is a sta

in any event, it's a pistol grip on a rifle. state of to the maryland, which has this assault weapon ban, it does not include the protruding pistol grip. you had all these exaggerations about how deadly something is. sometimes a semi auto rifle is nothing but a semi auto rifle. it's not going to be any more powerful or deadly than any maryland doesn't have that feature. if you go to chicagoland, they have a ban and its assault weapon if they have pistol grip but no shoulder stock. how can you tell me once deadly and the other one is not one they are so extorted nearly deadly they have to be banned and put people in prison for many years the fact is it said marbury -- it's an arbitrary designation. you can have a semi auto rifle but not paper trading pistol grip. ar-15 and state law. they took the pistol grip off and you can legally selling rifle in this state. --y have a very weird griff weird grip. it's very ugly. the manufacturers and the retailers yet compliant. it's a very silly law. another favorite feature is a telescoping shoul

so it was a distress a two state solution and of the option of a third is not doable for the palestinians and of the option of one state equal rights not the will for the israelis what will this leave palestinians and israelis with i think the this narrative of historic palestine is definitely becoming more popular among the palestinian officials just the other day mahmoud abbas said that palestine is for the palestinians it is not as the jews claim the land of their ancestors so he does seem to be questioning israel's right to exist on those lands and i wonder if that does not make it easier for israel to paint you as anti semitic rejectionists president mahmoud abbas went to the security council in february twentieth two thousand and eighteen and his speech last week of the palestine national council and iterated our commitment to the two state solution where the state of palestine where these duracell limits its capital will live side by side in peace and security with the state of israel and he called for an international conference and he was willing to come to moscow about then with

why should a state without a singular -- single nuclear power plant of its own be forced against its will to house all of our nuclear waste? why should a state without a nuclear powerngle plant be forced against its well to house all of our nations nuclear waste? this is a question that has never been answered. , from the speaker of the house, nor from the author of this bill. if you want an intellectually honest answer, it should not. it should not have to. the disregard for the local population, the echo mountain proposal -- yucca mountain proposal has catastrophic financial risks that must be addressed before and not after the proposal moves forward, should it move forward at all. what are the risks? yucca mountain is located 90 miles from the world's most premier entertainment destination of las vegas, nevada. las vegas was nearly 43 million visitors you over the past decade, the las vegas area has been one of the most fast growing in the u.s. any issues with the transportation of nuclear waste or issues with storage there will bring devastating consequences to the las vegas -- l

this bill, which is a complete and total waste of taxpayers' dollars, is dead on arrival in the united states senate. not only will i place a hold on the bill now that has passed the house, i will also object to the motion to proceed to the bill. and this vote today proves my point -- that i am the only person in washington, d.c., standing between a pristine, beautiful nevada or a nevada dripping with nuclear waste. just as i've said? the past, i'll continue -- just as i've said in the past, i'll continue to serve sasse a roadblock to make -- serve as a roadblock to make nevada a dump. despite the house's repeated attempts to revive the failed project, i have been able to ensure that not a single dollar has been appropriated to restart licensing activities at yucca mountain. this vote is nothing but a failed exercise because as long as as i'm in the senate, yucca mountain is dead. it's as simple as that. as i've previously said to you, mr. president, under my watch, i will not let one more hard-earned taxpayer dollar go towards the failed yucca mountain project p. my state fails to serve as o

in other words, if they all came out, would it be a blue state? >> oh, yeah. >> hard to figure out why it's a minority majority state and still largely republican? >> i've wondered. here's my analysis. you know, there are 29 million texans and 19 million of them were registered to vote in the presidential election. only 9 million did vote. so they took the trouble to register, but not to actually go cast their ballot. and, of course, you know, donald trump and hillary clinton were the least popular candidates in the history of american presidential elections. so there was that. but i think in the whole modern history of texas, there has not been a compelling candidate who spoke to the disenfranchised especially hispanic voters who would go have a reason to go out and vote, and when that day arrives, texas could turn blue really quickly. and demographically it already should be. >> you grew up in texas. >> yep. >> was it always a source of pride for you, growing up in texas? >> not at all. i was in dallas when kennedy was killed. and it was a tremen

we did a series of outreaches across the state and we continue to do it. what we found, we needed to give them some tools and may have been just basic things we took for granted too often, but we developed a simple handout that pointed out some key things such as curbside voting. that was one of the biggest, one of the biggest things. it amazes me how many people do not know that it's a service available and when we have several significant part of our population who have some types of issues with anxieties or ptsd who aren't comfortable going into a voting site, this is something that we can offer and so we've put a lot of extra effort into training our poll workers and our local county jurisdictions to put that service out there. in fact, we added another component and again these are simple steps but every simple step helps us get closer to the goal more permanent signage so that you put it up there where you can drive up to the curb and this is where you would do it from the voting. those were rewarding. i have a few slides if you don't mind me showing

we're not a very big state. we just have one seat on the first circuit court of appeals, united states court of appeals for the first circuit, more properly, that is denominated as the rhode island seat. it's now occupied by a terrific judge, the honorable rosiery thompson, who senator reed and i had a very significant role in getting appointed to that position. should she step down, that vacancy would ordinarily be seen as the rhode island seat on the united states court of appeals for the first circuit, and we would expect that we would be consulted and that our blue slips would be honored with respect to a nominee that the president, whichever president, wished to push through. without divulging too many confidences, i will say that there was some considerable back and forth with the obama administration in order to have senator reed and i get the assurances we needed that judges that we approved of were appointed. what i can't figure out is how the tradition of circuit court of appeals seats having an affili
