is in support of john pope's testimony and in this this case against john, you know, john fitzporter. it sounds to me like there's very little that porter, you know could dispute if grant supports pope in this. thanks for the softball dan because pope later turns or excuse me, grant later turns and actually ends up supporting porter in all of this. so thank you. yes. see dan's not doing himself any favors. jim rosebrook from frederick, maryland. so at what point does porter become aware of the burnside angle in sending the letters to through the command in washington and if it was before the maryland campaign you think that affected the relationship between porter and burnside and even mcclellan at that point? all right. here's where the other three hours of my presentation comes in. i've done a lot of looking into this. this has been a fascinating topic to me that there's this conspiracy basically to oust burnside from command of the ninth court during the maryland campaign because he passes along these letters to washington. there's a lot of debate as to when porter finds out about

john hamilton himself.that neighbor's tip about problems in the hamilton marriage, and that wasn't all. the doctor's behavior in the minutes after finding susan dead seemed off. hamilton had told the 911 operator he was performing cpr, but when the first responder, firefighter david bradbury, arrived on the scene, he thought there was something odd about the way the dock tosh was performing chest compressions. >> he had one happened on her chest, one hand on her abdomen attempt to go do compressions in this manner right here. the way we are taught to do cpr, we interlock our hands, the palm goes on the center of the chest on the sternum. >> and bradbury says he didn't see any signs that the doctor had even attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. >> the way this woman had been beaten, her face was swollen, her face was bloody, i didn't notice any blood on his mouth whatsoever. >> after arriving at the crime scene, investigators placed john in the back of a police car. and it was there they noticed something

john. >> john: bring in texas republican john cornyn for more on this.s like he's going to go back to the white house with hat and nothing more. and sinema gave a speech saying i'm for the voting rights bill but not for nuking the filibuster in the senate, and chuck schumer, won't have the votes to bring it to the floor. what do you make of everything they are trying to do here? >> none of this should be a surprise. this is what senator sinema, and senator manchin have said along and other unnamed senators not wanted to be the spear catcher on this, have remained quiet but silelely or confidentially communicated their concerns. it's a terrible idea to eliminate the requirement that we pass bipartisan consensus legislation before we make it the law of the land. that's what the filibuster does. it requires us to work together, which is not necessarily our first instinct. it also is something that is a frustration of every majority party, but it's important that all senators, even those from the minority party get to participate and that we have consensus l

all right, john.pening rhetoric against the united states as that nation marks the second year since the assassination of general qassem soleimani. the president saying the then president of america, which is the main aggressor, murderer and a criminal must be prosecuted and killed if trump and former secretary of state mike pompeo are not tried in a court, muslims will take revenge. we the co-chairman for american security at first policy institute. first reaction to that, sir. >> hi, sandra, thank you for having me, it's just words. whether we killed qassem soleimani, that was a strategic decision by president trump to reset the battlefield in the middle east and designed to do it and it worked. prime minister benjamin netanyahu later told us we ate the arm off the tiger and for a year things were quiet after we eliminated soleimani. and what he's doing, and i think with the deliberate passion to influence the talks currently going on, the nuclear talks to try to get ran back into the joint comprehe

john, great to be with you. >> john: john roberts in washington. defense officials suppress u.s. troops would support a nato response force and not sent to ukraine. the who us says the national security team is finalizing plans for all military scenarios. this as the biden administration faces growing calls to sanction russia now before putin makes his next move. >> sandra: more than 127,000 russian troops continue to operate along the massive border there with ukraine, but ukraine's president is trying to reassure the public and world there is no reason to panic. >> john: is there reason to panic or not? former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley in moments. >> sandra: and greg, what is the latest you are hearing about the russian threat there? >> as the u.s. leads efforts to try to head off the invasion, we are getting new reports of troop movement and a possible invasion. british officials say 30 train loads of russian train loads and gear are deployed to neighboring belarus. 60 battleground surrounding ukraine, and russian advanced troops said to be already her

john. >> john: a couple times in public, i saw. dan, thank you so much and of course we have the big press conference tomorrow, a big day. >> sandra: it will indeed, the president sinks in the polls and faces a lot of challenges, a lot on his plate as he starts year two for the biden administration. john as we just mentioned, senators could take a procedural vote on changing the filibuster, numbers may not be there even from his own party. chad pergram has the latest details on this. always about the math, something you are so good at. so, where are we on this today? >> sandra, the math equation is not adding up to the democrats. the standoff over voting rights in the filibuster continues but nothing has moved on the issue in weeks. even president biden failed to close the deal with reluctant democrats during a meeting on capitol hill. chuck schumer wants to get everyone on the record about voting rights even if it embarrasses some members of his own party, and that could be the point. house speaker nancy pelosi is imploring senate

thank you, my friend. >> thank you, john. >> john: a lot to look out for.g a live update soon from the pentagon as president biden considers sending u.s. troops overseas to confront russia as the white house warns vladimir putin's forces could invade ukraine at any point. we'll head live to the pentagon when this briefing begins, sandra. >> sandra: and also live to the state department when it updates the situation on americans in ukraine. evacuating families of diplomats there as the fears bloody fighting looming every day. >> john: and the markets, tensions with russia rattle the market over the response to the inflation crisis. the dow reaching the lowest point since june. with that, welcome back as "america reports" rolls right into a busy second hour. sorry about the doom and gloom, that is the world as we see it today. john roberts in washington. >> sandra: as you said that, the dow is coming way off the lows. it's such a volatile market, it could go back to even on the day, we'll see it down 383 points right now, i'm sandra smith in new york, we are

but john dean is a movie star. john dean was the big draw. they didn't want to lose john dean. it was front page news and they go in the orange county register that shepherd was was disinvited. that's why this complaint of attorney misconduct is so delicious. i don't think they can get rid of me. and they're they're dilemma. this is straight. you know, i analyze this stuff. i stay awake all night. their best way out is to claim a technicality. too long ago. most of the people are dead. we these aren't really our memos because if they hear me out. they're going to be in tough tough shape. i have dozens and dozens of memos and they're all on that website. i'm not playing hide the ball. okay. the real watergate victims have all passed away. there was some thought on an earlier book that their heirs could come in and challenge their convictions, but it never came to fruition, but this is different. this is challenging misconduct by the lawyers themselves. so we'll see we have time for one last question here. make it a good one. i've always been interested in the role of john dean.

john. >> john: horrible, sandra. after senate democrats suffered twin defeats, a bipartisan group of senators, yes, bipartisan, is now discussing a scaled back bill focussed on safeguarding election results and officials from threats and intimidations. this comes as the white house tries to walk back president biden's comments suggesting the legitimacy of the 2022 midterm elections could determine the passage of the partisan voting bill. you want to get something done in washington, get agreement from both sides of the aisle. >> sandra: how it's supposed to work. we'll see if we can get something done as they enter, what did elizabeth warren say, the second quarter? >> john: yeah, it is the second quarter. 0 sum game politics does not work, just doesn't. find a different way. >> sandra: they learned that the hard way in year one. meanwhile, americans are feeling the pain of the price tag as inflation hits 40-year highs. so, what can the federal government do to fix this problem that just seems to get worse? ari fleis

john. >> john: wyoming senator john barrasso, a member of the energy committee. said that raised so many eyebrows during the press conference yesterday. >> russia will be held accountable if it invades and it depends can on what it does, one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, etc. >> john: jen psaki rushed with a mop to aisle four for a quick clean-up and then a little while ago he grabbed his own mop, and said if russian troops move over the border, that's invasion. met with the response i laid out for putin. there are some people who say that putin will only look at what he said at the beginning and say ah, that's a green light for me to go in. >> let me tell you about vladimir putin. he's a poker player and he's cunning, opportunity isaias -- opportunistic, and looks for tells. he also can smell weakness. and he views president biden as weak and ineffective, specifically after the collapse in afghanistan. so putin, his aggression is funded by energy which is his cash cow and the biden policies previously

i'm john roberts in washington. sandra, happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you, too, john. the travel challenges are what everyone is talking about today. omicron variant pushing to levels not seen in this pandemic, nearly 500,000 cases reported in a single day shattering the previous daily high set two days beforehand. throw in a winter storm with exploding case counts, all the ingredients for a massive travel headache. nearly 4,000 flights have been canceled so far today, according to flight aware. the omicron surge is leaving many airlines without crews to operate those busy schedules. >> fox team coverage starts now. standing by from the white house, but first senior national correspondent at reagan national airport outside washington, d.c., snow finally tapering off a bit. >> good afternoon, john. that's right, the snow is just slowing down a few minutes ago but has left a mess here, it's a mess getting to the airport and once you are here the good chance your flight is not taking off. about 60% of the flights that are supposed to leave reagan national airport today wo

john. >> john: all right, sandra. next, a cop in los angeles is dead, the suspects all with gang ties. but the sheriff had to call in the feds for help in getting justice because he thought the county d.a. would not be tough enough. what's that all about? that's a pretty tight spot. watch this. of course your buick parks itself. that's so you. it's just up here on the right. of course you know where we're going. that's so you. i kinda got a sixth sense. and a head up display. [whistle blows] [horn honks] they're here. hit the field. warm up. you brought all these players in your buick. -yup. -that's so you. it is. there's a buick that fits your life. because at the heart of every buick suv is you. >> are you ready to start a great career? there's a buick that fits >> safelite is now hiring. >> you will love your job. >> there's room to grow... >> ...and lots of opportunities. >> so, what are you waiting for? >> apply now... >> ...and make a difference. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ >> man, i love

john. >> john: alex, thank you so much.dra. >> sandra: to a bombshell report on the border crisis. on the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants told to report to an i.c.e. office and never showed up. >> john: and congressman byron donalds of florida coming up next what president biden said yesterday and what senator mitch mcconnell said today and what congressman donalds thinks about all of it. i may have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. or psoriatic arthritis. but we are so much more. we're team players and artists. designers and do-it-yourselfers. parents and friends. if joint pain is getting in the way of who you are, it's time to talk to your doctor about enbrel. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop permanent joint damage. plus enbrel helps skin get clearer in psoriatic arthritis. ask your doctor about enbrel, so you can get back to your true self. play ball! enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers

john: that's a broad question. there's an awful lot that happens right here when we have some of the senators and congressman and cabinet members. we have had the president and vice president. when they are coming through, they are looking for, what is going to have the right balance for the general public, our climate goals, affordability issues? are you bringing the technology to market in a safe way? there are other nations that might be a little more aggressive, but we've always protected our consumers in the united states. as dealers, they want to be able to sell the latest and the greatest as quickly as they can. lately, that's been a major problem because of the supply chain and semi conductor shortage. so, dealers currently do not have a lot product on the ground. there's is not a lot of inventory, but consumers certainly are driving demand. we don't know exactly when that is going to level out, but we are taking perhaps six months, it could even be a year for some manufacturers. pedro: some of the discussi

hello, john. >> john: john roberts in washington. the mandate requires employees with more than 100 workers to be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. the high court will rule whether it's a public health order or government overreach. new guidance from the biden administration prioritizing race when it comes to covid treatments. the recommendation advising a person's race and ethnicity could deem them high risk and that could more quickly qualify them for treatments like monoclonal antibodies. >> sandra: peter, you will be in the room, why is race considered with covid treatment options? >> explain on page two of the memo, new york department of health does why they are doing this, why the reasoning is. nonwhite race or hispanic social inequities have resulted in an increased risk of sickness and death of covid-19. but wall street journal says it's unfair or possibly illegal, democrats who control new york reinforce the ethnic divisions that grew during donald trump's presidency. and now the mayor is probing mandatory vaccinations.

investors, fed watches, global policymakers, we are going to hear from john ryding and john taylor in moment with lift off set for march. romaine: at 2:00, we got a balanced statement out of the fed. at two: no night, our senior editor here said it is up to jay powell now not to mess this up. here's what he had to say. >> the federal open market committee kept its policy interest rate near zero and stated its expectation that an increase in this rate would soon be appropriate. the economy has shown great strength and resilience in the face of the pandemic. we expect inflation to decline over the course of the year. in light of remarkable progress in the labor market, inflation well above our 2% goal, the economy no longer needs sustained, high levels of monetary support. we need to be nimble so that we can respond to the full range of plausible outcomes. the committee is of a mind to raise the federal funds rate at the march meeting, assuming conditions are appropriate for doing so. taylor: let's parse through today's fed news and bring in cross asset reporter katie gry failed. he sai

john, hello, sandra smith in new york. >> john: john roberts in washington.always, begin with what's breaking. >> sandra: looking forward to all that. fate of provided's vaccine mandate in the hands of the supreme court. arguments wrapping just moments ago about running about three hours, and what they ultimately decide will affect tens of millions of american businesses and citizens. >> john: the court, sandra, focussing on two big issues, including whether the government could force private companies with more than 100 employees to mandate the vaccine or weekly testing. and healthcare workers that receive federal funding must be vaccinated but the stakes are beyond the vaccine or the pandemic. >> sandra: to anchor of fox news at night, shannon bream is with us. hi, walk us through the day. what did we hear from the justices? >> good afternoon sandra and john. it has been a case like no other. these two cases have been fast-tracked. the court is not treating them the way they would treat a normal case because there are impending deadlines, employers and empl

really powerful interview there, john. >> john: interesting figure.ut martin luther king, jr. with alveda king coming up. >> sandra: as we approach the top of the hour, president biden heading into his final days of his first full year of office. what can he tout as a victory as he faces piles of crises and challenges. we will weigh in on the time in office so far and what's ahead of the administration ahead of his first news conference in days. thanks for bringing me with you guys today, mr. and mrs. lopez. not a problem, josh. hey, you two. check out all these camera views in my silverado i can see in front of me, behind me, on either side of me. and it has this cam, so i can see if there's any funny business going on. you see any funny business going on? no, sir. let's have a great day! the chevy silverado offers eight cameras with up to 15 different views. find new views. find new roads. chevrolet. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein.

i'm john roberts. sandra, good to spend thursday with you. >> sandra: friday eve you usually call it. billions to keep necessary resources to keep the schools open, improved ventilation and other safety measures. that does not seem to be stopping some school leaders from shutting their doors. >> john: hi, gillian. >> gillian: public schools taken $130 billion, to keep schools open during the pandemic but a lot of schools are shuttered. chicago, $1.8 billion in federal covid funding, milwaukee 504 million, atlanta, over 200 million and detroit, almost 800 million. all these school districts currently closed to students citing the omicron surge. on president biden's first day in office he said that $130 billion he would send schools via the american rescue plan would allow them to reopen. so, not only are those recipient schools closed but a new daily wire investigation is finding out they have been real lo -- reallocating, and anti-racism and bias professional development. california earmarked 1.5 billi

the covariates remain but it also reflects john olmsted's contribution. like the other work the olmsted's provided very detailed design to realize their plan with the rhode island campus for example this concluded plaintiff designs and scientific and popular name plants and for the land-grant institution, they also specified areas, here we see a chicken yard, not something that would be fixtured on stanford campus. in his later years olmsted communicated with leaders of other land-grant university of the university of tennessee and north carolina state and he was doing work at biltmore and stumbled on the campus and wrote a letter to the president which was called the north carolina college of agricultural and mechanic. these are some ideas for your campus and you should hire me, but he did not. so i think homesteads will significant, senior most significant contributions to land-grant schools came from his writing rather than his designs his 1866 report for the massachusetts agricultural college in its expanded version were rightly read among the land-gr

i think those, john. the other thing i would mention in terms of how the court could change, of course it's going to add another liberal but will probably be a different kind of liberal. first of all, someone much younger will now have three women on the left side of the bench if president biden does carry through with this. the other thing i would say is we're likely to have a more polarized court. justice breyer was able to work the middle a little bit more than some of his colleagues on the left, so that will, no doubt, change. now in terms of the timetable, i would think the white house would take a little bit of time to screen some of these nominees even though several of them have already been through the process recently. the confirmation hearing really should start probably june or july as they have in the past so that the person could be seated by october. >> it will be a fascinating process to watch, joan. i appreciate that reporting. let's bring our legal affairs correspondent paula reid into t

we know that john glenn eventually. successfully goes into space and becomes the first american to orbit the earth but there again is just that that tension and that wondering will this happen and how it how it will happen. so be sure to pick up the book. it's a great great gift for the upcoming holiday season, and i know you will love it and maybe there will be a movie about it jeff so welcome jeff. we also welcome your questions not just at the end of our hour today. please begin to give us your questions as we go along because we want to be sure to include them as we go through our discussion the other thing that i mentioned to jeff and in preparing for today, was that this feels like such a personal book to me because of my generational cohort? i feel like i knew all the characters starting with sputnik, which is one of the first characters in the book and that's because my dad used to tell tales of stopping at a park on the ohio river in our hometown of louisville to watch after work at this big open park sputnik g

john gotti trusted him implicitly. >> john bucked, i bit. >> you got it done? >> i got the job done. >> and if he'd said, kill your son? >> my son? i probably would have fought on that one. there's no way i would have killed my son. i would have fought. i would have died with him or i would have died trying or -- there's no way. >> reporter: the fbi had long been working on ways to bring down is new york mafia. their target was john gotti. >> the fbi and new york state's organized crime task force set a trap for gotti. >> so the whole strategy was to put pugs where john was having his most secret conversations, where he was going to talk the most about the criminal conduct. he made my job easier. he introduced me to that whole family. >> i don't think any of the old timers would believe that cosa nostra could be run like this in any way, shape or form. >> john starts recognizing that everybody knows and respects sammy. he's the guy interacting with everybody. that becomes a threat to the boss. all of a sudden, i could be replaced by this guy

for the pbs newshour, i'm john yang.y: joining us to discuss justice's breyer's legacy and the future of the nation's highest court is marcia coyle from the national law journal. hello to you. you have covered this court for a long time. i know it is hard to condense 28 years into just a few sentences, but what would you say justice breyer's main legacy is? marcia: i would have to say it is his approach to judging. whenever possible, he would try to make decisions that would work for the people and for democracy. not just in deciding a case on the basis of facts and law, but he had a broader vision that the constitution was more than a structural document. t washis second one would be his concern for the institution itself, and how it is perceived by the public. as you know, he has recently been concerned about the perception othe court in the eyes of the public and what reforms might do to the court, as well as whether the court would be perceived as a partisan body because of certain decisions, some of which may come t

and in paris we cross a john laughlin. he is a university lecture in history and political philosophy. right gentlemen. crosstalk rules and effect, that means you can jump in in time you want, and i always appreciate it. ok, let's start with john. what is our zeitgeist today? because it seems to me, we're in a transition that are transistor dorothy period right now. certainly, we've left something behind, i have no idea where we're going, but i also have a difficult time describing where we are your thoughts? well, to be honest, it feels like we're in the end times pizza because so much seems to be going wrong . both in internal politics across the world. and of course in the international situation and internal politics, i'm referring of course to the sanitary dictatorship, which just gets worse and worse. we've seen a number of red lines cross in britain, in austria, in france, in greece, in germany. where all kinds of fundamental rights and liberties have been brushed aside. i know they were brushed aside originally in

the freedom to vote, john r. lewis act, will ensure free and fair access to the ballot box with expanded registration opportunities and the broad availability of early voting and vote by mail. something that voters of both political parties took advantage of in the last election. it will ban partisan gerrymandering so the congressional districts are drawn fairly and with respect for the people. it will prevent the arbitrary removal of local election officials from their positions and it will protect election officials from harassment and intimidation. it will pull dark money out of the shadows in order to combat the corrupting influence on our democracy and it will make meaningful investments in efforts led by the state to strengthen and fortify their electoral infrastructure. too many americans have become cynical about our politics and they are angry. but there is hope in that anger because it means they still care. they still believe in american democracy. they cherish it. in november, 2020150 million american

go ahead, john. well, i think unfortunately what the cobra crisis shows is the very day based sense of freedom, which many citizens had perhaps on noticed. certainly on notice by me at the time when the 1st lockdown measures were taken back in the spring of 2020 and everything else has confirmed that that all the subsequent events have confirmed that what i mean is that people, as lionel said, in the 1st up people regard it as a liberation to be false, to have a vaccine, which allows them to go up to a nightclub. well, if your vision of liberty is to go out to an is the right to go out to a nightclub, then you have or a possible whatever. then you have a very deep based version of liberty, its infant tile and almost animalistic notion of liberty. it's a very long way from the proper notions of political liberty that we, that we used to hold death. so i think there's been a long decline upstream as it were. and then we had these extraordinary measures announced which seem not to be going away because

pass the john voting rights advancement act. let the chips fall where they may in the next election, thank you. i am val demings representing florida tenth congressional district. the greatest nation to hold america to its promise? a stand today remembering my parents my father was a janitor and my mother a maid. my dad used to go to work seven days a week to make ends meet for our family. but i cannot remember a time when my parents did not cast their vote. they sought as their >> duty. my parents understood their vote they did not have a lot of money their name was not on a building people did not rise when they walked into the room, their vote mattered. and it mattered just as much as the richest man or woman in town. we can talk about healthcare we can talk about civil rights we can talk about women's rights. we can talk about social security, medicare, education. everything we care about if we do not protect the right to vote. we are not going anywhere. we are dang sure not going back. we will use every tool, every tool wit

keep in mind, john and brianna, the u.s. burned to some degree by its experience in afghanistan, does not want to see a similar situation again. they want to be prepared if it comes to that. to your point, john, this is exactly part of the administration's messaging here with getting this out there to communicate to russia, if you escalate, you're going to get a worse situation than you have today, not better. in other words, as you said, more nato and western troops close to its borders rather than fewer, which is what russia is demanding. >> clarissa, in terms of the escalation of tension here, in the various relationships at play, our audience need to know for some the united states has an ironclad security commitment but it does not exist with ukraine. still, how much does it raise tension in the region? >> it raises a huge amount of tension here. this is about defending the idea of sovereignty, as secretary of state antony blinken put it on friday, defending the right to the yietd of self-determination. the idea is, if

john? >> it is. when you look at these numbers again, 750,000 new infections every day, hospitalizations are up, deaths are up. the cdc predicts deaths will stay up for the next couple weeks. most of the numbers are quite sad and sober. we look for more evidence there will be better days ahead. dr. walensky talks about the peak she thinks should be coming in the next couple weeks. look at these numbers from the d.c. health department. cases down 37.7% from the peak just a week ago. here's what it looks like if you lay out the case count from the last couple weeks, you see the giant spike in september. that's omicron and then it levels out a bit. elizabeth, you do see it start to coming down. is that a helpful nugget for those in the omicron surge. we've seen it in the u.k., now we're seeing it in d.c. and new york. lasts a couple weeks and then hopefully comes down? >> john, i'm going to borrow a term from the governor of new york. she said there is a glimmer of hope. you never want to get too excite

do you stand with john lewis or bill compton? do you stand with abraham lincoln, or jefferson davis? we stand here. civil rights leaders, advocates, legislators, lawyers. we stand here fighting for the people. and so today i'm going to bring several members up and we're going to do something a little different. we're going to do the floor house one minutes for you with the exception of our leader and majority whip, clyburn. [laughter] and then i'm going to ask my members to join me, ladies, congresswoman sheila jackson lee will join me at the podium. former chair of the c.b.c. and good to have our good friend back, will join us to help address questions. with that, congressman james clyburn. mr. clyburn: thank you very much, madam chair. i want to surprise you with this. i don't think there is any issue more emotional with members of the congressional black caucus and our constituents than the issue of voting. i don't believe that any group of people other than the congressional black caucus and our constituents that are really p

reporter: hi, john. russia announced yesterday that it had deployed 20 or so warships into the black sea for supposed exercises as part of broader maritime exercises this month and next. do you consider this to be a part of the troop buildup that you've criticized in recent days, recent weeks? and regardless, does the u.s. have any concern about destabilizing action at the kerch strait or elsewhere in the region? mr. kirby: thank you. yeah, i don't have anything specific on the kerch strait. kerch strait - kerch strait. sorry, i'll try that again, kursk strait. but we continue to see an accumulation of russian military power, again, around and alongside the border of ukraine and belarus. and i mentioned this the other day, and naval power in the mediterranean, and in the atlantic, and clearly the black sea. so, i can't speak to their exercise. they should be able to talk to their exercises the way i just did at the top of this briefing. but we have noted and continue to watch increasing naval development

well, thank you john. karen, i know, i know both you and john, you know, live this story and i've been working on these issues so deeply which is why we are talking to you. but as you go out and take the temperature, as you talk with senator dick durbin, who chaired and held these her hearings earlier on, potentially closing, want on a mo, do you sense that there's any shift in this time of biden, the biden era, to actually doing things that other presidents couldn't do. the article that you wrote sounded pessimistic yet funny. i started out very optimistic at the beginning of the, by an administration because a number of things were done to clear individual to transfer, to, to move ahead with the military commissions. in terms i think there is much more sentiment for closing one ton of ho then there has been in the past i, i've seen statements by a number of senators and others representatives about trusting american in the world. and it's come up in a couple of hearings lately. i also think there are a l

john, what do you make of it? that might _ front page. it is. john, what do you make of it?d it might, the other issue _ compromise. indeed it might, the other issue on _ compromise. indeed it might, the other issue on the _ compromise. indeed it might, the other issue on the other— compromise. indeed it might, the other issue on the other paper - compromise. indeed it might, the other issue on the other paper is. other issue on the other paper is the fact that they may be relaxing the fact that they may be relaxing the rules about being tested before you travel abroad, which may show up in the ft about shares in travel and leisure industries soaring. i looked at that headline a half an hour ago when it first dropped on my laptop and thought, "good heavens, what?" then i realised this prospect of the testing being relaxed possibly by grant shops, testing for you travel being relaxed, possibly that's behind this. —— grant shops. but for shares to rise in those industries when we are getting record numbers of infections, 12 trusts declaring critical situations, having adapted

thank you, john. >> thank you, paul. i'd like to now invite elizabeth to share her opening remarks. >> thank you, john. and if i can just add to what paul said, he mentioned it himself, he has written a fantastic book which i think is the most important study that has been written about electric grid security, primarily, electricity, but it's a question until we don't have any -- so, what i want to talk about is what it looks like for citizens of western democracies, democracies. so, if we look at the situation in poland, latvia and lithuania, there is what we call the migrant crisis. but i have the comment, on these participants trapped in their government's inability to run the countries. because migrants are just a tool, specifically president lukashenko has chosen to use with other members. so it's their government capable of keeping -- or fulfilling the request of the government, in terms of keeping their border safe. and i remember -- i don't know if anybody else on this call recents this event, a 2014 incident off

thank you, john. >> thank you, paul. i'd like to now invite elizabeth to share her opening remarks. >> thank you, john. and if i can just add to what paul said, he mentioned it himself, he has written a fantastic book which i think is the most important study that has been written about electric grid security, primarily, electricity, but it's a question until we don't have any -- so, what i want to talk about is what it looks like for citizens of western democracies, democracies. so, if we look at the situation in poland, latvia and lithuania, there is what we call the migrant crisis. but i would also comment, or i would comment primarily in the assault on these citizens trusting in their government's ability to run their countries, because the migrants are simply just a tool, especially president lukashenko, has chosen to use to weaken these countries. he's suggesting to citizens in other e united states that their government is capable of fulfilling their requirements or the tasks of the government, including keeping t

well, john could john could certainly answer this from me from the inside and you know as a bookseller, especially as we kind of see this increasing, you know corporatization of publishing and you know and and things kind of become more and more centralized. i find just the sort of diversity of voices and even geographical differences with university presses to be extremely important for for a healthy publishing and book selling ecosystem. you know you have here, you know, i'm an hour away from uc press here in berkeley and as much you know, and as things kind of centralize and and you know, turn over in the turn of books becomes more and more important for everyone the sale you have to sell this book and there's such a short view that the long view of the of the scholarly and you know academic press outlook is really important as important for us to as booksellers to kind of keep that in mind and you know, i think in allowing the space for for new ideas and kind of risky ideas also is as exciting for me as a book seller as it is a reader, you know, i would be curious to hear john from

trust me, john lewis is in this room now.t, 34 years later, still resonates in this building. and the tragedy, the tragedy is that we are now fighting the same fight that manufacture ous thought was behind us. -- that many of us thought was behind us. the senate of the united states will be forced, i hate to say that, but they're being forced to take a vote on this. it's convenient if the vote never comes up but it will come up. and everyone will be judged by history on how they stood, on how they acted, on how they voted when the rights of americans all across this country to vote and to have those votes counted would in fact come before them. i urge everyone in the senate to think about the things that have preceded you and all of us. to think about this nation. to think about the history of segregation and jim crow. the history of exclusion so that when you cast that vote in the senate, you are casting it to do away with those things, not to reaffirm them. thank you, madam chair. mrs. beatty: thank you. our power, our mess

john. yeah, i mean i, i agree with some of what the previous speaker said i, i am on the other hand, i think that the imperialist, the specifically imperialist dimension is surely on the wane at the moment. the, the big event of 2021 is surely the retreat from afghanistan. that is the defeat of imperialism. or, of course, the mindset persists, but the fact is, that the united states, the imperialist power, has been routed. now, just as the british empire was routed in the middle of the 19th century from that country, and instead of what i see, i mean, you know, you mentioned monopolies. well firstly, monopolies can't be in the plural by definition. and what we see is a terrible collusion between these big pharmaceutical companies. yes. and states and all in the name of internationalism. in other words, the, the, the, i don't want us to be rude, but the rather sort of primitive socialist analysis doesn't really work. because you have international ism, and very heavy, massive state involveme
