keller. >> mr. chief justice, and may it please the court. osha's economy wide one-size-fits-all mandate covering 84 million americans is not a necessary, indispensable use of osha's extraordinary emergency power which this court has recognized is narrowly circumscribed. just three days ago the u.s. postal service told osha that this etss requirement are so burdensome for employers that the the federal government is seeking an exemption from its own mandate for the postal service. that's because osha's economy wide mandate would cause permanent worker displacement riffling through our national economy which is already experiencing labor shortages and fragile supply lines. osha has never before mandated vaccines are widespread testing much less acrossmu all industri. in fact, the june healthcare covid ets in the 1991 lead borne pathogen rule both rejected vaccine mandates and widespread testing, and those were even just for targeting healthcare workers. and here osha's vaccine or testing manda

these keepers from by the rooster dykus, dan keller, gaston and armenia also took part situation in the country. is now reported to the stable and as conclude, the, our quick recap of our breaking news story of a massive chemical fire beside new jersey, which is sending plumes to potentially toxic smoke into the air. our latest information we're getting is that one fire fighter has been injured in tackling this blaze that residents were evacuated from the immediate area. more than $200.00 firefighters were dispatched to try and battle that fire. the mayor of the cities told residents to stay away and to remain in doors with the windows closed, the new jersey governor, so reiterating that message is unclear how the fire began. but large quantities of flooring pellets stored at the sides of this blaze. and the concern over toxic smoke. now this is another video that has emerged from the scene that passes the city of around 70000 people. so the concern is obvious. chlorine gas is a highly injurious to the human body beats, injuries incurred on the skin or to the eyes are particularly toxic

charles keller is associated with the h. guilty. wells is society and a lecture that he has done there. so, again, this intersection of history and literature and science, it's a wonderful space to be. >> that's great. >> nancy vogt, i hope i said your louisiana name right, what happened to the astronomers who went to russia? >> this is interesting. so they are arrested as spies. and there is a sense in which i can't blame the russians for this, because they set up their equipment right over the russian naval base at sebastopol. which made sense when there wasn't going on because you could use the railroad tracks. but once the war begins, you're obviously spies. so they're arrested. whether or not they're tortured is unclear. they're actually released in a prisoner of war trade relatively early in the war. they're actually the first german prisoners to come back. but their equipment stays in russia for almost 100 years afterwards. it actually doesn't come back until after the collapse of the soviet union. so the germans couldn't hav

and i think this is actually a way to pressure the random party, which the bu keller government would like to see a disappear, i should just quickly say though, thanks, president, the christiane is already denied involvement in the killing, killing the brace, the investigation. and i mean, i should the investigation you have you ever felt this, that it should, it should target fort benning and georgia where i understand the ledge killers were all trained the school of the americans. well, you can't really do that under salvadoran law or under command responsibility law. but the killing of the jesuits was ordered from the high command of the military. the high command of the military, larry, and the highest commander was president christianity. the question is, did he order it or did the top of the military order? if that's really the, the issue that was in the spanish case, he was an uninvited co conspirator. in the spanish case, it is very clear to me, and this makes salvador in law different than spanish law that president christianity knew about this mask. the massacre of the jesui

keller. in light of everything that has been asked about the value of vaccines to the general public, i want to make sure i understand precisely what the question is before us. what i took from mr. keller's answer, which seems to be right, is that the question is whether there is a grave danger for unvaccinated workers period. what the secretary said was " employees who are unvaccinated are in grave danger from sars covid virus but employees who are fully vaccinated are not." if this is to be sustained it must be on the ground that it provides a grave danger to unvaccinated workers who have chosen to be unvaccinated. that is my understanding of the issue but maybe i have not understood it correctly. i will ask the solicitor general the same question. >> i do not see how there could be another understanding. it must be necessary to protect employees. the broad societal effects are not a major issue. justice alito: protection of vaccinated employees who may face some danger was not the basis fo

congresswoman marjorie keller green will be here later on in the show to discuss it. also, what could be taking the place of the tedious entertainment industry award shows this season? raymond arroyo has the big reveal in "seen and unseen." but first, the monsters they created. that's the focus of tonight's angle. in 1994 after getting wiped out in the mid-terms, bill clintonton knew the only way to guarantee a democrat win again was to move to the middle. >> i call the leaders of the next congress, senator dole and congressman gingrich to tell them after this hard-fought campaign we're ready to work together to serve all of the american people in a nonpartisan manner. >> he went onto work with the new speaker of the house, gingrich, to balance the budget and implement conservative policies like welfare reform. of course, when obama then followed bush, he did some pretty liberal stuff as we know like obamacare but he was a talented politician at least. obama couldn't do everything the hard left wanted but they believed he would lay the groundwork for a massive expansi

i have a note that mayor keller wanted to chime in and then we'll come back around. >> i just want to appreciate you. i wish the world was like you describe it. unfortunately it's in albuquerque, new mexico. i think we've given up on that approach. what we're saying is we ask for officers to do too much. at some point they just can't be everything. they can't be the behavioral health specialist, they can't be the mental health specialist, they can't be the homelessness specialist. and we are under a consent decree and rightfully so. so when you talk about that balance and operationalizing it, we are trying. we have a third department that responds to 911. it's a full department. the community safety department. it's got about 40 social workers, it's just starting out. there's about $10 million in funds. so we just built a whole new way to address 20% of our 911 calls. but i think i do just want to ask a quick question to bonita while she is here. and the d.o.j. because for those of us trying to balance the response and a consent decree, the memo that came out was so refreshing about h

correspondent: justice kagan questioning scott keller, representing the trade groups opposing the oshahe significance of what we just heard? >> the bottom line is that there is a very deep divide on the court on how it is looking at the vaccine mandates and the authority of the federal agencies that are trying to implement the mandates, whether they have that authority. the chief justice was increasingly skeptical as the arguments went on and was wondering if, he pointed out several times, ok, there is a workplace mandate, the medicaid/medicare mandate, the federal contractor mandate, and he said, you know, really, this looks like it is almost an attempt to work around the limits of authority of the executive branch, and that concerned about how abroad some of the agencies are using thei authority was echoed by other justices, such as justice gorsuch and others. they wondered where are the limits on agency authority. that is something conservatives on the court have been concerned about for many years. on the other hand, you have justice kagan whos basically saying this is really how g

. >> reporter: we've only heard so far jose from one challenger, scott keller, who's representing theolicitor general, ben flowers is up and starting his argument. and i would say that the challengers had a lot of hostility. basically with the judges, what at least four of them were saying was, look, covid is an unprecedented threat. why can't the government do this? we heard this from the chief justice, from breyer, justice sotomayor, and from justice kagan. that's only four. the question is, are there five votes, which is what biden needs to uphold the vaccine mandate. at this point in the argument, it's not clear one way or the other. several justice have said quiet or asking questions that don't really reveal their thinking. but i would say the one sign right now that i would point to, shay, is that normally when a challenger to a rule is kind of floundering a bit in court, when this rule was, he was an excellent lawyer, just doesn't have a particularly strong case, normally you have justices come to his defense or her defense. and we didn't have much. we only have justice barrett
