for more on the situation in afghanistan, i spoke with "new york times" correspondent thomas gibbons-neff we spoke just before noon eastern time today-- that's 8:30 p.m. in afghanistan. thomas, thanks for joining us. first, what is the situation right now in kabul where you are? >> thanks for having me. so, the situation in kabul is deteriorating to the point where we have displaced people coming from all over the country as the taliban kind of pushed through the north, the south, the west. now, there's fighting in the east. i mean, on top of that, you have an influx of internally displaced people. you have this growing sense of fear among the population. i think today there was an expectation that the afghan president, ashraf ghani, would have resigned given the deteriorating situation in the country in this wave of taliban gains, including more than half of the provincial capitals in the country, and he did not. so, it almost sounded like it was setting up for a fight. and the people in kabul, afghans in kabul who have been around in the '90s during the soviet ndering is, where is thear

gibbons will do this and spider will do this but it would mean finding evidence for bipedalism may not he and not anymore to claim common in status. as we find more fossils five, six, seven, eight or 10 million years we will see lots of experience going on -- experiments going on for bipedalism i do want to say attempted that may have evolved. it just was not an advantageous form of locomotion when the habitat changed. it will be fun. >> definitely. can we talk a little bit fossil records show us about the origin of bipedalism that you mention very briefly there other kinds of data that we can look at two study the emergence of this kind of locomotion and you mentioned a book of boys wanted to visit. seems like one of the most iconic sites and even just thinking about it kind of gives me chills. there are is a very famous set of -- so you are seeing behavior of an anil. what does that tell us about the evolution of bipedalism at that point it time which was three to 6 million compared to what you know about going back to the new vs or something more recent? >> its bipedalism 2.0. those

gibbons will do this, spider monkeys will do this, but it might not be enough. this is going to be fun as we find more fossils from that, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 million time period i think we'll see lots of experiments going on with locomotion and lots of false starts, where bipedalism, i say attempted, but may have evolved and then that animal died out. it just was not a selectively advantageous of locomotion as the habitat changed. so, yeah, it will be fun. >> definitely. i mean, we've talked a little about, you know, what the fossil record shows us about the origin of bipedalism, but you mentioned this very briefly. there are other kinds of data that we can look at to sort of study the emergence of this kind of locomotion, and so you mentioned litoly, where i always wanted to visit sort of one of the most iconic sites even just thinking about it kind of gives me chills. so there is a famous set of tracks and so you're seeing behavior, right of an animal. and what does that trackway tell us about the evolution of bipedalism at that point in time, which is what, 3.6

was the surprising thing with these protests they did seems to be really, is generated from within gibbon quite spontaneous in their manner and as the social media that helped them to just spread. so given this, what do you think the impacts of this new law will be? what was the facts? will it have? will it silence the government critics at home and abroad? or will it make them more strident? it's, it's quite likely to challenge. and in fact, the government is restored internet access to the island, so people will continue to write and then we brazen about it and it's likely to produce opponents, lou dissidence otherwise wouldn't be dissidence in outraged this kind of repression for the cuban president, the, the new president says he's not the, not one of the counselors and he championed the use of mobile phones and the ins and s, and now it seems is to bring in this kind of climb day. and if it's not a bit embarrassing for him, or is it a sign of the desperate situation that he himself finds himself in? well, you know, there is a politics at the upper level than your book and he did shar

even at his funeral mass, 1988, the event of sheridan's ride that took center stage, cart will gibbon, who presided over the requiem mask, he talked at length about to ride in his eulogy. he stated in part, i have neither the time nor the ability to dwell upon his military career. from the time he left west point until the close of the war, let me select one incident which reveals to us his misconception and readiness of execution. i referred to his famous rhyme in ride in the valley of virginia. koch is thought by the glance of his eye by, the power of his word, for the strength of his will, he heralds back that living stream on the enemy and snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. i want you all to look at the image that's on that screen. so this is an image that was published in puck magazine after sheridan's death, it's the same image that's hanging on the wall behind me. and this shows sheridan's casket being escorted to its final resting place, in arlington national secretary. and if you look closely, the small little caption there at the bottom, you can read, sheridan's last

terrestrial bipedal way but an animal in the trees moving with hand assisted bi-pedalism sometimes gibbons will do this. spider monkeys will do this. but it would mean that the evidence for bi-pedalism may not be enough anymore to claim homonym status. this will be fine as we find more fossils from the 10 million your time. we can see a lot of experiments going on with locomotion and lots of false starts where bi-pedalism may have evolved and then the animal died out. that it was just not selectively advantageous form of locomotion in that habitat as those habitat changed it will be fun. >> definitely. so let the fossil record show that the origin of bi-pedalism but you mentioned briefly that there are other forms of data we can look at to study the emergence of this locomotion and you mentioned a place that it was wanted to visit one of the most iconic sites even just thinking about it gives me chills. so there is the very famous set so you see behavior of an animal. what does that tell us about the evolution of bi-pedalism at that time compared to what you know about going back? >> it is

joining me, former prosecutor and legal analyst kristin gibbons.you back on the show. take us through the courtroom here. will his resignation have any impact on any of the complaints filed against him? >> i think so. i think that his resignation, though shocking to all of us, actually could be beneficial for cuomo. as we know, there were parallel investigations going on. the criminal investigation through the criminal complaints that were filed as well as the potential of the impeachment proceeding, which may be halted. i know the decision is still up in the air but it may be halted given his resignation. if that is the case, that could be very beneficial for cuomo because it minimizes the amount of public statements he is going to have to make, you know, in his defense. it's my understanding based on reports that his defense for the impeachment proceedings were due in by this coming friday. and so if he doesn't have to make any public statements, he shouldn't, because they can all be used against him in any criminal or civil proceedings that we c

deeply influenced by european thinkers such as condorcet and rousseau and locke and hellvatius and gibbon, influenced by the french enlightenment, by the english enlightenment, and these strands of thought introduced, advocated, put forward many different kinds of arguments for religious freedom. there were three arguments that i think were increasingly common in this period of european history. one was an anti-clerical argument, frankly, and jefferson in his time in france would have been very familiar with this anti-clerical strand. there were many people arguing for freedom of religion as a way to break the power of the church and of religion, which they distrusted on secularist grounds. another very frequent argument was a christian theological argument that rooted religious freedom in christian doctrine, that made the case that only religious freedom was consistent with the spirit of charity and peaceableness of the christian religion. john locke begins his letter considering toleration by arguing that he submits that toleration, he believes, is the chief characteristic mark of the t

mike gibbons on a fellow court system in the state of nevada. that is what we need.eople willing to fight the constitution. i recently won against this in the nevada supreme court unanimously that he violated the law. [applause] in that respect, i want to talk to another great man, bill sherman. one thing is for sure, it is not just about the constitution. [applause] let's pray. from the other several times i have been down here i look and see the mountains. see the smoke and you can barely see the mountains. we are missing a beauty nomination. i pray for these politicians, people in places of influence, i pray they will restore -- continue to fight for our freedoms, families, great public education but there are many things we are thankful for. the people here, the food and people who prepared it, the people who -- we get to enjoy the state with. i pray your blessings upon us and this nation in his name, amen. >> all right, have to be careful there. coming up we will have the flag presentation on horseback. i would like to remind you before and after the presentatio

gripping narrative that really -- but something that stands out in my mind, one of my colleagues, thomas gibbons-neff, who was in the washington bureau for a long time when i was down there, and went to kabul several months ago, he actually got out of the country. i believe he might have gone to qatar. and then got back on a plane and came back. and t.m., as we call him in the bureau, he's a former marine who became a journalist. his story was already an amazing one. but he went back to hamid karzai airport having gotten out of the country, to make sure that afghans who had worked for "the new york times" and helped our reporting so crucially over many years were also able to get out. i have to say that is just, you know, valor, not to be too melodramatic about it, making bringing a military ethos to our journalistic word. he's an amazing reporter. i encourage everybody to read those stories. >> it reads like a war novel, and the fact that you're involved, susannah, and your colleagues' efforts there and all the folks that got out and the administration's efforts to make sure that was the case, it is

aid to the hillary clinton and joe biden presidential campaigns, and msnbc legal analyst, christian gibbonseat to have all of you on this morning. adrian, i would like to start with you. how bad is this for governor cuomo? >> it's hard to think of it being worse. i don't understand the defense of putting out photos of himself hugging other people, other elected officials. it doesn't seem to go very well, and it certainly is not going to, i think, elicit any sort of support from some of those said elected officials. look, the bottom line is this, he has been disavowed. he has been told to -- called on to resign by some of his fellow governors in neighboring states. he has been called to resign on by both senators from new york, and of course he has been called on to resign by the president of the united states. he cannot effectively govern the state of new york at this time. this will be an ongoing distraction. he's not going to be able to overcome this. so you put all of this aside. if you cannot effectively govern your state because of distractions that you have put in place, you should no
