that the supreme court has ruled in favor of corporate spending in politics long before citizens united back in the 800 s. there was a similar a supreme court case that ruled that you know corporations can spend whatever they want and political campaigns i think the number one thing we can do is to reestablish form. in class solidarity among the working class or an oppressed people in this country and unite work together up fighting for our interests collective interests as well working class the need for extempore against the ruling class and in their stead the one percent of the elite yes they temper set the one percent absolutely control 80 percent of the finding of the stock market in this country the rest of us the 99 percent we absolutely have the power to do everything else. and that is the fight that we will continue to fight and that you continue to fight every day on your radio show thank you so much for joining us jackie locum and always a pleasure having you on ma'am thanks so much for having me. all right everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we ar

in practice that 2010 citizens united decision allowed for corporations and wealthy individuals to spendmuch money as they wanted on political races, blunting the impact of small dollar donations from every day americans. and you can see the impact on american elections, adjusted for inflations, the 2008 election cost just over half of what is expected to be spent this cycle when all is said and done. it is only the democratic party that made any serious effort to change the status quo. the campaign finance bills are still langishing in the senate, never to become law. the republicans' world view was summed up neatly by then candidate mitt romney who claimed corporations are people too. during his failed campaign against president obama in 2012 he said that. of course romney lost in a landslide in that election. i guess not enough corporations voted for him. but the republican view of campaign finance was made clear in that campaign. unfortunately for the gop it stands to reason that if corporations are people, some people are as powerful as the corporations. like former new york city ma

lot of candidates talk about you know, if you ask them, they would probably say, look at the citizens uniteding and maybe we need to address the broader concern about big money in politics until we do that, these rules have been made and we're just playing by them. >> yeah. it's a fascinating look. obviously a lot of the names that we put up on the screen with you, ari, are names that investors in our audience know very well. good stuff thanks, good to see you. john and julia, the market is holding in there as the dow is up more than 2%. we have heard some market commentary about liquidity being thin, spreads being wide it's not to say the market is not susceptible to an air paroce later on in the session. it's time for the half let's get to the judge >>> carl, thanks welcome to "the halftime report," i'm scott wapner our investment committee votes on where your money will work best in the years ahead. joining me are steph anyway lake, josh bron, john najibullah and bryn we begin with stocks they are higher again. it's the best back-to-back days in the market since june, the best day for bre

i helped fund the effort to bring about citizens united. that was a mistake and i think we should rescind that decision. that would be a big help as well. >> i want to finish with a slightly strange question but i'm going to ask anyway, which is what your mood is. you know, a lot of people have very strange and conflicted feelings about what we have witnessed. on one level, it felt like american democracy was hanging by a thread in a really existential sense. a big electoral margin. that's a hard thing to do. another, there was down-ballot losses. the senate is, again, 50-50 proposition going into georgia. how do you feel about where we are right now? >> i will tell you. thanks for asking that, chris. and maybe my views are a little bit different than others. to me, what this election ultimately came down to is not trump versus biden. it really came down to whether we're going to retain american democracy, and thank god biden won. but anyone jumping up and down and rejoicing, hey, we won, you're missing the point. we got a reprieve. a tiny

i disagree profoundly with citizens united and the supreme court other campaign-finance decisions but we have to acknowledge that they are not n the only ones at fault. it's a blockgr of those who are nearly always in lockstep and they have played aol big role in undermining campaign finance laws. for the last decades, gop commissioners have blocked every attempt to closesehe h loopholed regulations that allow dark money groups to flourish. ec has failed to spend virtually all of their money on political advocacy to register what would require them to disclose that. after 2018, we know there were efforts to secretly funnel warren campaign money to candidates, deliberately violating campaign finance laws to interfere the outcome o of those elections. i believe the fec that can enforce campaign-finance violation, it is crucial to maintain legitimacy of our elections and our democracy. traditionally, fec nominees have moved and bipartisan pairs. what troubles me about today's set of nominations is the boposture.le they refuse to move democratic nominee withh commissioner trainers nominat

individual donations, attempts to bring transparency to corporate dark money spending after the citizens united decision and effort to stop foreign money from ar influence in our electi. if we are gonna break out of the gridlock in the fec we need commissioners to work together to find areas where they agree, it's my sincere hope that mr. dickerson views on the role of money in transparency and politics do not make it harder to find consensus with the other commissioners. mr. cooksey, already discussed senator cruz, he does not have an extensive record on campaign-finance or election issues in his testimony for this hearing does not provide enough information regarding his qualification, the view of the commission and how he plans his approach the role, again i appreciated the fact that he talked to me and we discussed some really important issues and i appreciated the words that we heard that they were willing to work on issues like the political ads and the fact that we don't have any set rules in place for social media ads. finally we have shana broussard and i so appreciated mr. chairman, y

i mean the 1st answer people always give this to overturn citizens united, that people need to think understand that the supreme court has ruled in favor of, corporate spending in politics long before since it's united in the $800.00 s., there was a similar, a supreme court case that ruled that, you know, corporations can spend whatever they want and political campaigns. i think the number one thing we can do is to really establish working class solidarity among working class poor and oppressed people in this country and unite, work together. but i think for our interests, collective interests as well working class the need for a simple war against the ruling class and the and percent of the one percent of the elite. yes. they temper set the one percent. absolutely. control 80 percent of the find that the stock market in this country, but the rest of us, the 99 percent. we absolutely have the power to do everything else. if we do that, and that is the fight that we will continue to fight and that you continue to fight everybody on your radio show. thank you so much for joining us. dr

i disagree proflound foundly with the citizens united and -- to finance decisions. we have to acknowledge the court is not the only one at fault. the gridlock in the fec specifically, a bloc of gop commissioners who nearly always vote in lockstep. that's also played a big role in undermining our campaign finance laws. for the last decade gop commissioners have blocked every attempt to close loopholes in fec regulations that allow dark money groups to flourish. the fec has failed to compel groups to spend virtually all of their money on political advocacy to register as pacs which would require them to disclose their donors. after 2018 we now know that there were efforts to secretly funnel foreign campaign money to candidates deliberately candidates violating our campaign finance laws i believe on fcc is crucial to maintaining the legitimacy of our elections and our democracy. traditionally they have moved in bipartisan pairs. what troubles me about today's nominations is the posture. republicans have a long senate and now they're advancing republican nominees after

why should i comment average citizen united states care about foreign policy?verseas emirate about my job my family. why should the average american really care about foreign policy? >> that's a great question but a lot of americans echo what you said but there's two things their job their family. once again the world can be a tremendous threat to your health or your physical security. we are seeing it was covid-19 it began in china, it did not stay there. by the way this is not going to be the last infectious pandemic of our lifetime. we saw with 9911. we see with climate change. cliff what happens out there does not stay there. the ward's world is not las vegas nothing stays there. so like it or not the world is going to matter. in those real threats or jobs. more than 10 million americans depend on export related jobs. so again the world is an important source of our economic strength. i think you get into issues of war and peace, or cyber related issues and so forth. i think in very real ways you can make it clear that the national security of the united st

he is the president of citizens united, a sure row pat for the 2020 trump campaign.." the president succeeds against all odds. well the president's success is of course riding on the outcome tonight, david. how are you feeling? i do see the white house behind you? >> lou, i'm right behind the white house. i am going in. the president will win re-election tonight in resounding fashion. we're seeing turn out across america in numbers like we've never seen before. we're going to win decisively in florida and in georgia, north carolina is going to be in president trump's column. we're going to win in arizona. we're going to win enormously in ohio tonight. and that puts us on a pathway to 270. we're excited about what we're seeing across the country. lou: that is an extraordinarily confident statement you've made there. your optimism, frankly i never heard you speak that optimistically about an election before. not even 2016. that is, you're going to, i think, well, let's put it this way. you will put a high bar for everybody else on the broadcast throughout the evening n

supportive citizens united in his own group bleeding the fund-raising efforts for outside money to comea. no one side can put the -- point the finger exclusively at the other. everyone sees the balance of power of the senate, the ability to implement the biden agenda hinges on the seats. if you believe we should be concerned about the working class americans and providing food on the tables and jobs available and protecting our environment, then you want the biden agenda. if you don't, then keep the two that i described earlier. >> shannon: i think that's a rallying cry for both sides. the biden agenda. do you love it? do you hate it? january 5th, we'll find out what georgia thinks. ethan, karl, great to have you both. updating the balance of power in the house. democrats have clinched a majority. holding 222 seats. republicans have 204. nine races are still yet to be called. they are being led by republicans. one of those racist democrat has already conceded. the closest margin is in iowa's second district where the republican is winning by 47 votes. state local officials rollout new c

environment, so invest in infrastructure and clean energy, to pass campaign finance reform and end citizens united we have to win the two u.s. races. this is the most ambitious voter registration and turnout project in american history, and if i might, while i've got the chance to address folks, let me just say again that my heart goes out to everybody who is entering this thanksgiving week with uncertainty and concern about the state of the country, this public health situation. please know everybody we will get through this together, and let's just take stock with gratitude for everybody who has helped us get us through this year, the first responders, the doctors and nurses, those who sacrificed to help us keep this economy moving, to keep the lights on, to keep us safe. everybody ordinary people have risen to the moment and politicians have failed us. we should look back at americans and be proud of our resolve and resilience and trust that better days are ahead. we'll get through this together. >> john ossoff, thanks for making the time to be on "new day." >> thank you. >>> so as the coronavi

of the american civil war, the priority of not only our congress and the president and the citizens of united states was to reunite the country, and make us once again a strong union. for this reason, many confederate officers would not be charged with the role of treason. in fact, we see many of those officers actually have roles and occupy positions within grant's administration. we're looking at the american flag of the united states. this flag is from the american civil war. and tradition has that this flag actually young in jefferson davis' cell to remind him on a daily basis of the crimes that he had committed against his former federal government. the history of jefferson davis was a very complex one and one that we here at the casemate museum tries to look at all aspects of. this cell door is probably one of the most important artifacts from jefferson davis' incarceration here at ft. monroe. it's behind this very door that he would look out and realize that the american civil war was over and that the confederacy was no longer part of the historic narrative of the united states. we've

i do know one thing, the guy who was quarterbacking this whole effort, david bossi of citizens unitedas been somewhat sidelined because he has tested positive for coronavirus as we reported over the weekend. while you can certainly work from home remotely it's a sort of job that requires you to be available to the president and requires you to go out there to the states that are being contested. if you are quarantined because of coronavirus it puts a little crimp in that. you don't want to come down with the virus ever but this is particularly bad timing. >> bill: all very interesting. back to you throughout the hour as the news warrants. we are learning more about president-elect biden's day one agenda. he's planning a series of executive orders to reverse trump policies and specifically we will rejoin as a country the paris climate agreement and the world health organization in the middle of a pandemic. reinstate the obama era daca program. peter doocy reports now live from wilmington, delaware, fresh off the speech last hour. >> good afternoon. most of the parking spots around this

he's a conservative who is heading up the citizen's united and worked on the president's 2016 campaign there's also people who feel deplated that feel this is a white house that's already winding down. i talked to smith who is the american.anking african today is his last day. he said he was planning to leave people looking at that andre are saying people are already deciding, white how the aides already seeing the future that is winding down and coming to the end.n who is gg to break the news to president trump because he's not anywhere near wanting t talk about losing at this moment. >> woodruff: so john, over to you. i vice president bidand the people around him, how are they responding to all this? >> reporte: judy y see nothing, no lawsuits, no recounts, nothing that would change the fact, they say is the fact that once all the votes are counted, joe biden will be the president-elect. when you ask senior biden advisors about the raiser thin margzo that -- rathin margin they're seeing in some states they say a win is a win.ju they say it't a matter of time. as a matter of fact they

keep an eye on it but for now let's bring in one of the key players in trump's 2016 victory, citizens unitednt and co-author of trump, america first, david joined me now. david, the past is 270 and is it possible for the president to make that on tuesday night or are there certain states like pennsylvania there won't be counted wednesday night and we definitely have to wait for it? spirit judge, the president will win reelection and he will get two to 70 and do it decisively. look, and 2016 judge we got 306 electoral college votes and you only need 270 as you mention. the spine of the selection will be built on the backs of florida and georgia and north carolina, ohio, iowa and arizona. president trump is now has taken the lead in every one of those states and he is on a path to victory. from there he is within reach of that 270 number and all he has to do is pick off a couple other states. most of which we won one in 2016. he doesn't have to re-create the exact same map. if you look at wisconsin we are now leading and there were some garbage poles. i mean garbage poles this week trying to i

someone who is a lawyer per se, he is someone who is the head of a conservative advocacy group, citizens unitednager in 2016, and he is someone who is going to bring a lot of this together but a lot of this is, you're seeing, you're seeing cases get thrown out in georgia, in pennsylvania, and in michigan, because judges are looking at this and saying where is the evidence? where is the proof? the trump campaign won't answer that question. when reporters ask, the president wouldn't answer that question, and he was dashing out and he had his quick speech, and now of course, we're not seeing lawyers answer it in court. >> that's what i don't get. ned, wouldn't this be the super bowl for preeminent election lawyers? instead, you've got, you know, this ragtag group, with a grab bag of accusations. even chris christie, who is not standing with the president, said if there is evidence, we need to see it. and if there isn't, the president has to stop indicting the system. what do you say? >> i think that's right. you can't go to court if you don't like the vote totals coming, in you have to have a lega

confidant and senior adviser to the president who is president of the conservative non-profit citizens united. he's been tapped by the campaign to coordinate the communication with lawyers and the multistate effort currently under way the republican national committee has also begun a process to raise up to $60 million to aid into that effort. as to what happens in washington, i've been speaking with white house officials involved in the transition about what it looks like inside the white house and what the mood inside the administration is right now. they calculated only about a quarter at most of the senior officials gearing for a fight, trying to rally the troops and saying this isn't over yet the bulk of the rank and file working in the white house and the west and east wing and insides these agencies are going about the work of transitioning the government they're treating that as a fait accompli, doing the work they expected to do while also beginning to search for outside work as far as the day today work that will continue for the time being, there's expected to be a meeting of the c

that citizens united against the fcc. they enabled corporations through super pacs as long as they're not directly coordinating with the campaign to get unlimited amounts of money. it's gonna give corporations a voice and politics and special interest. they are able to spend unlimited funds, this decision will complicate -- is a lot of controversy about this court case, you want to know what the total is, campaigns and super pacs piling and right now with this next. election 10.8 billion dollars. we went from -- smashing records, that's as of october the 1st 2020. so in the end, and this is the last slide here in the end of our lecture, we want to thank all of you for your participation and for the willingness to answer questions and present we want to thank the c-span and professor doug and i have enjoyed this experience. to wrap up this presentation in the end, presidential elections are about persuasion and persuasion is not equivalent to truth. so remember that as we go forth we have one more thing to give you as we d

he's a conservative who is heading up the citizens united and worked on the president's 2016 campaign. people who feel like this is a white house that's already winding down. i talked toeron smith, meist ranking african-american -- es hiranking african-american in the white house and today was his last day and planning to leave the administration but there are people looking at that and saying people are already deciding white house aides already thinking about the future, seeing this white house as one that's winding down and coming to an end. the tough thing is who is going to break the news to president trump? because he is not anywhere near wanting to talk about losing at this moment. judy: so john, over to you. how is vice prt biden and the people around him, how are this? ealing, responding to all john: well, judy, the biden campaign says they see nothing, they see nhing, no lawsuits, no recounts, nothing that would change the fact or they say the fact that once all the votes e counted, joe biden will be the president-man elect. they -- even when you ask senior bidendvisors abou

what way do you see to get the citizens of the united states better protection, better security. w is that going to happen? >> it reached a line with respect to surveillance of its own citizens then you have a number of possible actors here that have already done a substantial amount to restrict about because just about every website you go to now is a secure website, http us. that wasn't the case when he made his revelations. the internet made that change with a few companies like google whose motives were the desire to spend tens of millions of dollars with an order of magnitude to work the bulk collection by its own government which is remarkable. no one gets to spy on our users but us because there's a whole different set of problems having to do with the information and surveillance economy in the private sector. you have other players. there are political processes with lobbying groups demanding more privacy and achieving it in legislative forms and there are litigators who are challenging some of the bases. the novels. the way that the computers can create video. it's very

of the american civil war, the priority of not only our congress, and the president or the citizens of the united states, it was to reunite the country. make us understand again a strong union. for this reason many confederate officers might not be charged with the rule of treason. many of them have roles and occupy positions within ulys ulysulysse ulyssulysse s grant civilization. this flag hung in his cell to remind him on a daily basis of the crimes that he committed. the history of jefferson davis was very complex. and one that we try to look at all aspects of. this cell done is one of the most important art faifacts. it was this very door that he would look out and realize that the american civil war was over and that the confederacy was no longer part of the historic narrative. there is so much more here to see. in the late 19th and early 20th century, it becomes a very important trading ground. it is here where all of the artilleryist were trained. later ft. monroe would become the center of training and doctrine command. the rest of the museum talks about not only the military history tha

accounting for inflation, but 1980, and then the court case that will change everything and that is citizens unitedn 2010 whias long as they not directly coordinating with the campaign to raise unlimited amounts of money which will give corporations essentially a voice in politics and special interests. so they're able to spend unlimited funds and this decision will complicate campaign finance. it will raise a lot of concerns about transparency and there's still a lot of controversy about this court case, and so you want to know what the total is of campaigns and super pacs piling in right now for this next election? $10.8 billion. so we went from a few million dollars to 10.8 is expected to be spent in the 2020 campaign smashing records, and that's as of october 1, 2020. and so in the end and this is the last slide here in the end of the lecture and we want to thank all of you for your participation and your willingness to answer questions and present. we want to thank c-span and professor doug and i have really enjoyed this experience, but to wrap up this presentation we say that in the end, pres

it's an honor to be part of the symposium, but i come before you as a citizens of the united states and also a citizen of the cherokee nation. i'm an eighth generation oklahoman. because of the trail of tears. at the time of the forced removal of cherokees on farms and even large plantations, and as lindsey pointed out, our constitution was adopted in 1827. patterned after the united states. and with the invention of the syllabry, almost every family of the cherokee nation had at least one literate member. and it compares with the high literacy rate of the state surrounding the cherokee nation. so with publication of 1828 of our newspaper, the cherokees became well informed on the issues of removal. by 1819, our people had ceded 90% of our original lands. and lindsay pointed it out on the map also. so by the time of removal, the little dark area at the bottom is all that was left. so these remaining lands we sought to keep what our white neighbors sought to have them removed. the u.s. supreme court in its 1832 decision, case of wooster versus georgia, recognized the sovereignty of the c
