"a good education takes you many different horizons" and that sticked to my mind. so, when $1 a day came out, i said, "why not"? why not just utilize that resource. and walmart made that path open for me. without the $1 a day program, i definitely don't think i'd be in school right now. each week for me in school is just an accomplishment. i feel

that basically means the state police can bypass portland stated attorney mike shit, submit. smith.iticizing any officials, we respect the authority of the district attorney. bringing violence to an end we'll use all lawful methods at our disposal. [inaudible]. plans to move out of his own home because the protests and riots there, have brought damage and fear to his neighborhood. this comes after police declared a riot monday night outside of the mayor's building that has 114 units. rioters set fire outside of the mayor's condominium tower around inside of an occupied apartment buildings. demonstrators burglarized a business nearby to use it as fuel. the portland mayor said i want to express my sincere apologies to our home and fear you are experiencing because of my position. it is unfair to all of you who are not involved in politics or my position. a suspect in the death of 39-year-old aaron daniel son who was shot in the chest and killed. local reports identified a shooting suspect. the police will not confirm that the shooting victim is part of the conservative group, patriot

mike espy is tied with cindy hyde smith. you said there would be a tight race for u.s. senate in mississippi i would have told you you were out of your mind. the landscape is shifting very quickly. north carolina is gone for the republican, colorado, arizona in bad shape for republicans. we think it is a different landscape right now. >> one more thing about the alaska raid, overwhelmingly pro-choice state, the supreme court confirmation, trump gets to justice on the court, it will be devastating politically in november for a couple reasons but in the alaska race, there is another issue out there, something called the pebble mind, a hugely controversial old mind that will poison the head waters of bristol bay, salmon fishery in the world, doctor out is against it, sullivan's for the mind, state is overwhelmingly against it and we will kill sullivan on that issue. coming soon, we will go for it. we think he is the most undeserving senator, his character is loathsome, he is a principal list man, utterly self-interested, hypocritical, the idea that he doesn't have anyone's

mike espy in mississippi is tied with cindy hyde-smith. a year ago you told me there will be a tie race for u.s. senate in mississippi, i would have told you you were out of your mind. but the landscape is shifting very quickly. north carolina, we feel is pretty much gone for the republicans, arizona and colorado is in terrible shape for the republicans. >> i would say one more thing real quick about the alaska race is, alaska is an overwhelming pro choice state. so the supreme court confirmation i think is -- it may be that trump gets the justice on the court, but it's going to be devastating politically in november for a couple of reasons. but in that alaska race, it's going to hurt sullivan and then there's another issue up there which is something called the pebble mine. and the pebble mine has been a hugely controversial gold mine that will poison the head waters of bristol bay and the largest, richest salmon fishery in the world. dr. al is against it. sullivan is for the mine. the state is against it and we're going to kill sullivan

joining us mark smith, president of first liberty and constitutional attorney, nice to see both of you. appreciate it. pick up where i left off with mike of ask he is, clinton wrote the president said 27 years on the court exceeded even my highest expectations when i appointed her. pretty high bar. >> i think ruth bader ginsburg is a great american hero in the sense of her impact on american law and american life. even if you disagreed with her judicial decisions we cannot deny that she was a titan figure. what is interesting is justice ginsburg, i would not say, was known for judicial philosophy but what she was known for was reliable a vote for the progressive cause. you could usually predict how she was going to come out in a high profile controversial case, she stood by her principles. even if you disagreed with those principles the fact is she was a legal giant and intellectual giant as well as will be long remembered and studied by lawyers, judges and law students far into the future. >> not taking anything from sandra day o'connor who was the first female supreme court justice or the other two women who served on the high court

. >> thank you chairman thompson and ranking member smith, a note to you, mike, for hosting this important hearing. i think we're all united in one common purpose today, the recognition and acknowledgement until we defeat this virus we are not going to enter into a full economic recovery. these restaurants are hurting throughout my district in central and western massachusetts and all over the country in urben and rural areas. my heart goes out to those owners and employees and the communities they serve in and, indeed, sustain. restaurant are neighborhood anchors where people gather not just for a good meal and to connect but they are important job creators. everybody on this committee should be dismayed by the testimony that was offered by the chairman of the federal reserve board. nobody looks at the federal reserve board and says democrats and republicans. his testimony now, as it was before we wrote the cares act, was profound. what he suggested was that the economy is in need of a major infusion of liquidity. weshg we should all be united around that that testimony. secretary mnuchin

smith from ubs. welcome to everyone. first we send it to you, mike. of a long weekend that was met with selling. you wornd us about september a lot of people are warning about september. what is interesting is august had tended to be a little rocky sometimes in the market just blew higher right through that after strong august, yes, september there is some kind of a give back. right now i think you can characterize it as a shakeout. it was so far extended that i'm not sure that we can say that two days of the switch back is alleviated that. if you need the equal open sut reaction if, you need to get the stocks to be oversold, it's not like they're near valuation support. that is the question otherwise, i don't think the market is doing anything all that unusual as i said earlier, it's not really predicated on m rachltaco stress it's mostly about the equity market reacting to some excess that's have built up in the equity market. like mike says, i don't know if it's enough or not i think there's going to be a pretty big buy in the dip out there. coming

smith had access to the memos. "trump versus the united states" is where we start also joining us drk -- earth our rth ou first, mike schmidt, donald trump tweeted today that he did not have a series of mini strokes. something that isn't in the book. what did you make of that? >> i think it was sort of dissential of the trump era. here a spent all this time working on a book to understand how the president use power or the people around him did this and i looked at documents and talked to all these people and then in the end something that is not in the book, the president picks up on, turns it into an issue, and just draws more attention to something that's embarrassing about him. so it sort of spoke to me as the sort of ultimate trumpian moment at least for somebody writing a book, you spend all this time doing this stuff and then trump sort of makes something up and makes a bigger problem out of it. >> for himself. let me ask you about the memos an the documents. your colleague maggie haguerman at different points of the trump presidency has tweeted about the regular practice that people like michael cohen had of
