george. >> mary bruce, thanks. michael> now to capitol hill where america's top general told lawmakers that the world is only growing more unstable and dangerous. this as the u.s. is facing a new arms race with russia and china. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more in washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. the chairman of the joint chiefs general mark milley said ukraine's war with russia could go on for years, but even greater conflicts could be on the horizon as world powers battle for dominance on the ground and in the air. this morning, the u.s. announcing that it will join forces with the uk and australia to develop hypersonic weapons and measures to counter them. these highly maneuverable missiles reach altitudes up to 300,000 feet and are nearly impossible to detect. much less defend against. advances by china and russia despite tactical failures on the ground in ukraine have deeply concerned the u.s. russia claiming to have used its own hypersonic missile in

michael brown in 2014. we saw similar phenomena in 2020 after the murder of george and floyd were homicides increase 32% from020. this is what happens when you denounce law enforcement to call police off the street. isn't that right mr. mayor? >> i could not agree with you more and i also agree with mayor adams. his bid and office cited in six months but he knows what he has to do. the problem the mayor has today it's not what they want to do with how much authority do they have? in mayor adam situation is very left wing city council blocking every way possible has a district attorney that's very left wing a very progressive it's unfortunate he can't do it he really wants to do a stone a lot is putting of the special crime unit to get guns off the street but listen the reality is we've gone through a pandemic, a lot of things have been accelerated. but if you do not have a strong police force if you do not be fully funded police force that is motivated compensated trained well we are going to have the chaos and crime that our cities are having. i think we are seeing now is a lot of mayors around the country

george. can you explain what the franklin family was seeking to have done with the money at that point, and how that turned out? michaelall american political problems end up being judicial ones. it was essentially a grievance against king george the third, the constitution is a contract, in the end franklin's money falls into lawsuit after lawsuit. i don't want to spend too much time in the courts, but one person that steps forward was a young man who probably endeared himself to franklin's family because when he graduated from the top of his class at penn, his graduation speech to the assembled students was on a married woman's right to own property and have independence. some of franklin's descendants who hired him were renowned feminists in that era, and one woman was the first dean of radcliffe college. another woman was a woman who organized sanitary affairs and organized relief supplies for civil war troop for the union side. when philadelphia was hosting the world's fair, she demanded there be a woman's pavilion there, and when the organizers refused, they said i'm sure we will do that. franklin ayres decided,

you know, michael dukakis, 1988, who lost by eight points to george w. bush, nobody's idea of a populist figure, an andrew jackson or franklin roosevelt, pretty awkward guy, he won west virginia by ten points, it was called right away. why? and then now, you know, election night, it's called for republicans, and donald trump won by 45 percentage points by both times. why? because the union of united mineworkers used educate people not just in the coal mine union but outside the union too, why union members should vote for democrats and now the union of mineworkers is a fifth its former size. that makes a big difference. >> you discussed the organizational differences in your party. in your book, "what it took to win: a history of the democratic party." michael kazin, this has been fun, you're always welcome on the podcast. since you're local, you know, now we can have you come in in-studio now. >> i can be a weekly guest. >> those would be long podcasts. congrats on your book and thanks for coming. thank you to everyone who has been listening and watchin

it's from michael luddig, appointed by president george h.w. bush, formerly served on the u.s. times" and "the washington post" about the efforts to subvert democracy. he writes trump and the republicans can only be stopped from stealing the 2024 election at this point if the supreme court rejects the independent state legislature doctrine, thus allowing state court enforcement of state constitutional limitations on legislatively election rules and elector appointments and congress amends the power to reject elector votes. a, what does that mean? b, is it an acknowledgement that republicans came way too close to overturning the twekt 20 -- 2020 election result? >> second question first. it means exactly that. they came far too close. judge luddig graduated from the university of virginia law school a few years ahead of me. it's a conservative law school. he worked in the white house counsel's office and ended up on the fourth circuit court of appeals. this is a conservative's conservative. one of the reasons he was called upon, i assume, to work with the vice president in the r
