maryland state police is ready to implement emergency plans and the maryland emergency management agency is coordinating closely with federal and local partners, and we just encourage marylanders to stay tuned to your local forecast and to heed guidance from state and local authorities. most importantly, we're simply urging marylanders to be prepared and to use common sense. sadly, as of today, covid-19 has taken the lives of more than 5,000 marylanders and more than 300,000 americans. the one of many we have lost is the father of daisy solaris, a respiratory therapist at the university of maryland medical center who came back from dealing with her father's tragic death to continue to treat covid patients. daisy is the very definition of a healthcare hero. and yesterday after nine months and nine days after our first cases, she was one of the first marylanders to receive the covid-19 vaccine. i had the opportunity to speak with daisy and some of her coworkers yesterday to thank them for what they've been doing each and every day and thank them for being the first. they're our pioneers, t

get the facts from the cdc, maryland department of health.t this time, i would like to turn over to dr. david for his remarks. >> thank you, governor. >> for too long now, covid-19 has had the upper hand. covid-19 has impacted our lives and livelihood. this week is different. there is cause for optimism and hope. there begetting administration of a safe and effective vaccine that said, things would get more difficult before they get easier. i would be remiss if i did not answer the toll that covid-19 has taken on all of us. yesterday as the governor made mention, the u.s. has realized tragic milestone at the start of this pandemic with 300,000 includings dying, 5000 for fellow americans. thatat times the fact those numbers we follow so closely represent grandfathers and grandmothers, fathers and coworkers, and children who won't be here this holiday season due to this virus. for this reason, the facts remain aired wearing masks, physically distancing washing and family gatherings should only be limited to helpful context. back the state as va

pete did a fantastic article on the logistics of the maryland campaign just on lee's army. that piece -- i'm usually pretty good -- we do a lot of somehow and tell here, scott. i don't have that book in front of me. if you have any interest in logistics at all, i think it's one of the first to really -- as keith can do almost like no one else, he can find archival material all over the place. the other thing we've had a conversation, i don't think we talked about it last week when we were on the battlefield. tim silver's book on the environmental history of the civil war, they have a fantastic chapter on the maryland change. i suspect none of it would be surprising or new to you. if i remember, i will pdf it, or you can buy the book, 40% discount, right, john? i'm a marketer at heart, scott. we all know i'm so damn shallow, i should have done -- and then the book, which i own, it's upstairs. it's "confederate tide rising." >> yes. >> parsh. joseph parsh.

the presiding officer: the senator from maryland. mr.cardin: madam president, i take this time, along with my colleague from maryland, senator chris van hollen, and i'm also pleased that we are joined by senator stabenow and senator reed, to take this time on a very sad note to announce the death of paul sarbanes, our former colleague in the united states senate, who passed away on december 6, 2020. at the age of 87. i first got to know senator sarbanes when he first ran for public office in 1966. we both were elected to the maryland general assembly that year, and we became good friends. delegate sarbanes at that point made a name for himself on the house judiciary committee in the maryland general assembly and was a rising story from his first day in the maryland general assembly. he shortly thereafter ran for the house of representatives, served three terms in the house of representatives, with a very distinguished career. during that time, it was the time of the watergate issues, and congressman sarbanes was on the judiciary committe

senator sarbanes worked for maryland. he was a tireless advocate for our state and the many families who call maryland home. they knew paul sarbanes had their back. upon news of his death so many of his constituents fondly remembered how he was there for them and provided a helping hand. paul sarbanes didn't approach service with bravado and bombast. he didn't crave the spotlight. he understood that the people he served were in his spotlight because they were his priority. a master legislator, deft committee questioner, senator sarbanes actively shaped legislation that still affects marylanders and americans today. he championed the restoration of our beloved chesapeake bay. he put consumer protections front and center in his work cracking down on corporate fraud. he held presidents accountable in the watergate hearings an throughout his career. and his work in relationships on the senate foreign relations committee helped create a safer world. the example he sate cons to inspire so many leaders and ublic servant -marylan

host: let's talk to richard, who is calling from maryland on the democratic line. caller: good morning. where theon as to republican party will go after trump, i think it will not go anywhere higher than where it has been. a party that runs for power. jobs.0, the rent on -- they ran on jobs. it never came about. they ran on the same thing in 2014 -- jobs, jobs, infrastructure, never a bill introduced. when you go back to when obama was elected in 2008, newt leaderh, the minority republican from california, he -- against the president. after thed himself people killing our sons and daughters. it will never be anything other than gimmicks. reagan and bush started us on this downfall. i firmly believe republicans do not have the executive ability or honesty to handle the executive branch, as exhibited by reagan, bush and the second bush. each time it was a democrat that pulled our country back onto the right path against all kinds of opposition. where republicans go, it should be identified as a group of individuals who go there only for their own benefit. they are th

here in maryland we've spent so much time preparing.us states across the country to be able to prepare electronicallily. we're in the 21st century, it makes sense to have technology to let people register, complete consent forms so we can plan appropriately. gearing up for that entails making sure we've got appropriately trained clinical personnel, that they know where to show up at the right time and so we're prepared in maryland and hoping to work with other states to be prepared as well. >> key question. is part of that technology if somebody goes online to fill out one of those forms, how are they going to know when they're eligible? for example, "the new york times" has this cool little thing where you go in and put your information in. it tells you you're behind 12 million other people or something like that. is part of what you're working on, so people have an easy way to know when their time is that they can go get the shots? >> yes. we have technology called covid ready that allows people to pre register, to let their state kno

as the maryland department of health noted, numerous violations were observed during the inspection.he inspection included repeat violations, which are violations that were noted on last year's inspection. the violations are indeed numerous, including that his staff did not supervise campers and at the camp was operating in defiance of the state fire marshal. so maybe that poor urine-drenched kid was better off locked out of his cabin because at least he would have a head start fleeing for the hills when the powder keg goes up. but one notes again what is perhaps the most repulsive feature of contemporary politics. right now, democrat politicians across this land are presuming to micro regulate every aspect of human existence. the governor forbids you to have grandma over for christmas dinner and in many states you have to wear a mask when you step outside your house and in some states, you have to wear a mask inside your house. you have to raise and then lower your face mask between mouthfuls of food when dining in certain states. millions of ruined businesses are subject to inconsi

the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. mfume: might i inquire how much time remains on this side? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has 10 1/2 minutes. mr. mfume: thank you, mr. speaker. my thanks again to the gentleman from oregon and others who have spoken on behalf of this including congressman ruppersberger who has been, as he indicated, a part of this effort for a while. and that while goes all the way back to the other reason that i'm here today. and that is my friend of 42 years and a member of this body for 23 years, the late elijah cummings, who originally introduced this bill before his death and a commitment that i made to him and to others long ago that working outside of the congress i would be supportive of him but now that i am inside i wanted to make sure that i got unanimous consent from this body, as i did a month or so back, to be able to assume the leadership of this bill, its sponsorship, and to move it forward. we have been doing all that we could to get to this point. again, i would be remiss if

maryland will refuse to pay after a while. it's not gonna continue to feed these guys.and they have to go the border to virginia or pennsylvania. i believe brunswick troops were there for a while, we call all german auxiliary or subsidy troops haitians. they came from different principalities which is not germany. brunswick was one of the larger contingents that were captured at saratoga. yes? matt >> -- [inaudible] >> yeah sure, charleston is actually an interesting case. so henry clinton when it comes to charleston, he actually decides he wants to do things differently. he's gonna be much more humane to this prisoners. he's going to parole the entire militia. but then, as many of these paroled militiamen will go off and join francis and other partisan forces. he becomes enraged. they didn't play to the rules. when cornwallis takes over from him, he's going to retaliate on those prisoners violently. the continental army troops are initially kept in their barracks, in charleston. but then, once these violations of the perils happen, the british commander a puts them on

of maryland seceded and lincoln declares the war against slavery than maryland has almost no choice but to join the confederacy. it was that happens and they would have to evacuate washington dc. it would be very much harder to hold the ohio river so lincoln new on constitutional and strategic rounds to make this would be counterproductive that the north word is hardly unified and then to issue a call for volunteers and to save the union if they issued a call for 75000 volunteers to free the slaves would have gone anywhere near 75000 opinions in the north was not universal and the fact for most northerners it wasn't that big of a deal it was for john brown maybe they were mildly opposed smack with that shift because it was also for the jefferson davis but it is stage fright. and then to say this wasn't about slavery but at the beginning of the war and the ordinance of secession it is clearly identified as the proximate cause now the seceding states all stay every state including massachusetts and new york have a right to secede but they also understand you don't just do this for any rea

so it's a great loss for maryland and for our country. and i just want to say all of his former staff that you all don't get enough appreciation. our staff doesn't. senator sarbanes treated his staff right and i hope we can live up to his example. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. mr. trone: thank you, mr. levin. i, too, rise today to honor the life and legacy of maryland senator paul sarbanes. the magnitude of his loss will be felt throughout maryland and the country. senator sarbanes spent his entire career fighting for the issues that marylanders care the most about. he was a champion for justice, authoring the first article of impeachment against a corrupt president. he was a champion for fairness, tackling corporate regulatory reform and transparency for investors, he was a champion for the environment, spearheading efforts tom protect chesapeake bay for generations to come. it's not just his long list of accomplishments that senator sarbanes will be remembered for. but his dedication to the people. senator sarbanes defined what

yes, we were watching the great state of maryland, my home state. me ask you, you heard katie hobbs tell dana from arizona she worries there's been permanent damage done to the system. today you have another opportunity for many republicans in congress, right, who won't acknowledge the president-elect as the president-elect, who signed on to the texas lawsuit that the supreme court unanimously struck down last week. they have a chance today to do the right thing, particularly leadership, right, mcconnell, mccarthy. are we going to see it? >> i don't think so, certainly not from some of donald trump's biggest supporters, but i think this will become a much bigger problem for the republican party as we head into the next year. if you look at the likes of jeff duncan, lieutenant governor, or brian kemp, governor from georgia, these two gentlemen are very, very conservative lawmakers. they're trumpers. they have been supportive of him, they've done everything politically for him except break the law. you look at those two and you look at the likes of mi

here in silver spring, maryland, skyler henry, kpix5 . >>> a local expert was on today's panel. she's a pediatric infectious disease specialist at stanford healthcare. we asked her why she voted to give the vaccine emergency approval. >> all of our data was incredibly compelling in terms of the efficacy, as well as the safety, and allowing this vaccine to be used at this time. we just really want to sell to get through this, and the best way that we can do that is to hold on and get vaccinated. >> california will get about 327,000 does is of the pfizer vaccine to start. about one in five are earmarked for the bay area. here's the breakdown so far and adds up to just under 60,000 does is. we are still waiting for numbers from solano and santa cruz counties. kenny choi is live in san francisco, with more of the bay area rollout could look like once the fda gives the green light. >> reporter: so we know that the fda does not have to follow the advice of the panel that gave the green light earlier today, for these hospital workers, they are at the very top of that list to get the va

our health care workers, so using cdc guidance and national academy guidance and also the state of maryland and the district of columbia, actually built a first priority phase one, highest, low risk, so stratified in addition to the other things, like over the age of 60, other comorbidities, so we could make sure we got to those individuals first. >> great, great. >> donna, are you ready? donna: yes. >> so you have got that vaccination card there. donna: yes. record, forpersonal your use, and it will help when you come back. donna: yes, and then there is an area for the first dose and second dose. >> and on the back. that is for your personal not to worry about.

off we go to silver spring, maryland where patty calpain is following this one. this is an advisory committee to the fda, so the fda still has to rubberstamp this? reporter: exactly. to separately -- two totally separate organizations. they have outside experts, so think about it like the pfizer vaccine is on trial and these experts, scientists and doctors are the jury and the judge. they spent about eight hours talking to witnesses, going through the process, talking about the ethics of it. and at the end of the day, 17 said it is safe enough and worse -- and worth the risk. they stress they do not see a whole lot of risk. for context, therefore who said no, one who abstained. and i don't think that's because they don't agree with the vaccine. the discussion was who they should recommend get it. the recommendation was basically 16 and up. some members of the committee thought it should be 18 and up because they were worried about 16 and 17-year-olds, that may be not enough study had been done on that. the reason they did it on zoom and the reason thousands of pe

maryland is a heavily democratic state. one of the most democratic state in the union. he was not only elect governor, once he was reelect governing, same goes for the republican governors in vermont, and in massachusetts. because they approach this government not as republicans but try to govern in earnest. put a check on the excesses of the democratic party. i think voters appreciate governors like that. you don't always gain appreciation. -- someone who wants to govern without the game streak play is trying to be earnest about, it being transparent about what they do, having the people's interest at heart instead of suburbs of political interest. >> to get down to it, do you think that larry hogan could beat donald trump in a republican primary in four years? >> i think today he could not. i think donald trump would probably own the republican party today. if you take a look, he's really changed the party. he's brought a lot of voters into the party. the previous speaker out, he's brought a lot of new blood into the party and revitalize the party. look at states like

maryland said from maryland, thanks for being with how many people are you guys projecting over the christmas holiday and is that projection more or less than we saw over thanksgiving. marilyn. >>you might be on mute. we're not hearing any audio there we go let's let's we hear you now all right there you go better right it, thank you. so basically there's been a significant decline in passenger traffic obviously because of. >>the covid restrictions in so many areas and people janet being a safe as they can a rough figure would be prop probably about a 60% drop in holiday traffic compared this this period last year. the changes that people can expect to see at oakland international when they're if they are traveling during the holidays is it. >>vastly different during the pandemic. >>well i think what they'll see is a lot of cleaning going on. there's touch free water there's hand sanitizers around we implemented a number of cleaning protocols many months ago when the pandemic united states and california and here in the northern california area. so they're well practiced at it and it's as cle

but the fact that you have this crook operating a bribery scheme dating back to governor of maryland, state people doesn't realize how corrupt it was, so he's operating as a corrupt figure and there is a bribery scandal but talk about the fact that you have this happening kind of simultaneous with watergate but they are not connected. >> exactly. and that is part of what i think was sort of forgotten in the history of agnew. if people remember him at all, they think it must have been a watergate adjacent thing. there is a lot of people who went to jail or got charged in watergate adjacent things and it was nixon with the cover up and the people involved if the crime and his attorney general went to jail. you remember that there were so many -- you assume that it must have been that way for agnew, too. no. totally separate taking bags of cash for kickbacks for government contracts and he started doing it as baltimore county executive and as maryland governor and he kept taking the bribes, envelopes stuffed of cash while in the white house. that is what confronts elliott richardson. one
