but months before that, in boston, massachusetts, in federal district court, an action was begun for eys for george p. davis, a shareholder in the edison company of boston. he was suing for an injunction to restrain his company from paying the social security taxes. he argued they were unconstitutional. his claims cited a 1935 supreme court decision. this had to do with the railroad retirement act of 1934. it had established a plan very similar to social security. payroll deductions, matching contributions by employers, all this going into a huge trust fund held by the government. and later, on retirement, monthly old age payments. ♪ but the railroads had contested the law, and the issue went to the united states supreme court. the decision, a five to four decision, was read by justice roberts. he said, "the railroads, though dedicated to public use, remain private property. their assets may not be taken without just compensation. there is no warrant for taking the property or money of one and giving it to another. petitioners constantly recur to such phrases as employee morale. fear

what you're looking at here is boston, massachusetts. it's under a winter storm warning and getting one to two inches of snow every single hour. we'll have more on this storm momentarily. first, let's dig into the facts on the pandemic this hour. our country has just recorded its highest daily case count and death toll since the start of the coronavirus spread. on wednesday we lost 3,293 americans and we added more than 232,000 new cases. one of those new positive covid cases is u.s. interior secretary david burn hart. he did find out his status before he could attend president trump's first cabinet meeting in 211 days. french president emanuel macron has become the latest world leader to test positive. plus, in just the last couple hours we got a snapshot of the escalating economic toll in our country. 885,000 more americans filed jobless claims just last week, more than initially estimated. for reference, that's about the entire population of south dakota. it's dialing up the urgency for lawmakers to reach a deal on another round of re

call it deer island, but it is a little peninsula, 185 acres sticking out in the harbor in boston in massachusettsas you can see, what it really is, a giant industrial plant. specifically a giant waste water treatment plant. deer island cleans the water for the entire city of boston. one of the places in the united states doing waste water testing. you can see. the red line are the southern samples. blue line northern samples. it matches what we know about covid. there was a bad peak in the spring and in the early summer and a lull in july and august and a big up tick in october. that is the red flag you are looking for with this testing. i remember, i actually tweeted about that up tick at the time. look at it now for the northern and southern areas of boston. now trending near 600 copies per milliliter. i don't know what it means as an absolute value but that is up from 100 in the spring and about 500% increase since the bad surge. this data from testing the waste water is like looking into a crystal ball. the people that we know from the data are infected start to get symptoms and test positive

, what becomes the city of boston and the massachusetts bay colony that is sort of the powerhouse and what becomes the state, the colony of massachusetts and later the state of massachusetts. so, that is led by john winthrop. a different sort of man than elder brewster. a different sort of man than william bradford. he is a lawyer, for one thing. he has a rather checkered career there in massachusetts bay. being elected governor and then being deposed and elected again. as his literal fortunes go up and down in england. so, massachusetts bay is, and the city of boston, they are the kind of powerhouse and literally tens of thousands of people come in waves from old england to new england. but they tend to settle there. the plymouth colony is a smaller enterprise. it's first, and i think that document, the compact, is very dispositive for things that come later. but, we should remember that. and when we think the pequot war, we speak of things like that. there are different communities engaging with native americans and engaging themselves and the strangers among them in slightly di

we saw a spike after thanksgiving in boston and in massachusetts around the country.e'll probably see a bigger spike after christmas because many, many more people have been traveling. so my concern is right now, tonight, people that are all over this country celebrating the holidays with their families. i'm asking you to be careful. i'm asking you to wear a mask. i'm asking you to have no contact with people even though you travel. it's important that we do everything we can to keep this virus down. this virus has taken over 300,000 american lives in boston nearly 1,000. so it's really incumbent upon all of us during this holiday season to do everything we can to protect yourself, protect your family. my concern is that we don't do that. my concern is that we'll see a spike that will take many, many more lives, overburden hospital and cause greater damage to the economy. >> that's good advice. everybody has to be really careful especially now because we're on the brink of millions and millions of americans getting the vaccine. you have to ride it out and wear those m
