what got its a fallujah was the claim the revolutionary war was fought to a significant degree becauseof people not wanting to let go of slavery, the idea being that to lose the war would mean that you could that have plantations. it would seem to me that that claim has been disproven, and that's what i think of the 1619 project. any discussion of it that purports that a central and highly celebrated tenet of it was not disproven is a discussion that i have a hard time participating in. i'll put it that way. >> a lot of things that you lost patience for, it is prevalent beliefs i go against what you understand as an academic. you teach at columbia. what are your students like these days? do you think they are prepared? you been teaching for a while. are they better prepared now? are they up to the challenges? how prepared you think they are for university education? >> you know, debra, i don't know the answer to that question yet because of mundane things which is that everything went crazy in the spring of 2020 but by then universities were on life and that puts a real filter between

after 9 years, the cron denied the french mission in molly ended in fallujah. but he accused molly's transitional government or forcing french troops to pull out. at least 104 people have been killed in severe flooding and mud slides in south eastern brazil. hundreds of people are in emergency shelters after their homes were destroyed. if the heaviest rainfall the region has seen in ninety's and the headlines, i'm emily angland. the news continue here on al jazeera after this string stay with us. americans are increasingly saying authoritarianism might not be so bad. there were several steps along the way where the chain of command it seemed like tried to cover what's your take on why they've gotten this so wrong. that to me is political malpractice. the bottom line on us politics and policies and the impact on the world on al jazeera god with i am josh rushing and perfect me. ok today and you are in the stream. in 2019 the u. s. state of illinois passed recreational marijuana legislation on the promised to make sure the industry would provide opportunities for

in 2003, the national guard activated their unit and deployed them to fallujah, iraq, where jeremy served as postal clerk. on may 23, 2004, jeremy was killed after a truck rigged with explosives detonated next to his convoy. he was 23 years old. i encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring jeremy l. ridlen, who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, by naming the post office after him. and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady reserves the balance of her time. the gentleman from kansas is recognized. mr. laturner: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. laturner: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of this bill, which would name a post office in illinois after army national guard specialist jeremy ridlen. ridlen was born and raised in maroa, illinois. jeremy and his twin brother, jason, went on to attend illinois state university and both signed up for the national guard. they were assigned to the 1544th transportation company, which was activated in 2003 and deployed to fallujah

i'm out of fallujah. business in sandra fell where they are going up. a bunch of bulletins for orders to fulfill because it's a popular gift for valentine's day and of course, wants to remind everyone to use awaits if your gift includes mylar balloons or metallic balloons, especially to prevent them from floating into power line. i you know, honestly, i did not realize it was. >> first of all, that this holiday happen to be a big balloon holiday because i know birthdays and all that stuff. and secondly, that it was that much of a problem. >> you're saying that every year seriously, balloons, mylar balloons, cause power outages in the bay area. >> yeah. mylar balloons metallic balloons. it had that metallic coating. and if they float away, wayward balloon floats up into a power line because of the power outage. and that has happened. >> 280 times last year in the bay area alone, knocking out power to thousands of customers. it's 100% preventable. if you just have one of those weights, you keep the weight on the balloon and my blues do tend to hold helium

troops from molly after a 9 year mission micron denied the french mission in molly has ended in fallujah, but he accused molly's transitional government to forcing his troops out, france and european allies, se they'll continue what they call a joint action against terrorism in this region. but they don't give me detail. we cannot stay engaged militarily next to authorities who do not share our strategy, nor our objective. that's the situation we are confronted by. and molly, today will be the womans, the sequence shown left hospital in these conditions, france and its partners in this fight against terrorism and the states participating in the to cooper task force. i've taken the decision to remove military forces from molly. this removal will begin by the closure of faces in gussy manada and go will be ordered with the molly and military forces and the un forces in molly. so i think during this period, we will maintain our mission and support for the un peacekeeping mission as well as from on this. let's bring in a sad bag who is in senegal capital because i said this is been in the wo

in places like fallujah and iraq and baghdad. that's nasty, horrible stuff, and we knows that. he tried to do stuff like that in afghanistan. he saw the challenges that we had in iraq. putin is not an idiot. he is reading what he has seen and is making an assessment. and if he were to do a quick strike into ukraine, and try to break a few things and minimize it and try to replace zelensky, that's a tough mission. you just don't walk in and say, here's the niew guy. get in place. you'll have an insurgency taking place immediately. again, that takes a lot of time. a lot of force. but the russians are not shy about breaking stuff. but they can't break stuff and then try to own it. if they want to waste land in ukraine, they can achieve it. it's going to take a lot of time and i'm certain putin doesn't want that. >> let's pull up this other map that we have and maybe you can walk us through where that sort of nuclear waste zone that you're talking about is where they don't want to go and then where they likely would cross the border and invade. >> yeah, i think when you look at tha
