and the government and mississippi contests that understanding. i want to get your reaction to their arguments. what the government says is that all this talk about incorrigibles is really just a label for the final judgment that a court reaches after it considers youth during sentencing. what mississippi says in addition is it says that the whole point of miller was just to prevent against the excessive risk of disproportionate punishment, but that the essence of it is a procedural requirement about considering youth. o why aren't they right? mr. shapiro: the reason they are not right, your honor, is one, that montgomery says something very different, and two, that it could not have said what they contend and arrived at the conclusion that miller is substantive and thus retroactive. montgomery reiterates seven imes, as an indispensable part of its conclusion, that there is a substantive and thus retroactive rule and what that substantive rule is. that substantive rule is that only permanently incorrigible juveniles can be sentenced to life withou

though i'm from chicago, i grew up in mississippi and florida. mississippi is a state that is consistently the butt of all the rest of the state jokes because they rank poorly in health care outcomes in education. there isn't a marker of success that mississippi has done well. so we talk about the dollars for the poorest state in the union. you're going to throw it at patriotic education, which is something, as you probably can recall, came up during against b.l. . and he didn't want you to black lives matter. he didn't want to have a conversation about racial equity in classrooms. so his pushback was, let's talk about patriotic education. let's remove things that have to do with black people, even though schools talked very little about, you know, the plight of african-americans or the civil rights movement, or our time from slavery to now in their classrooms. any way the majority of schools have whitewashed education. now, the governor of mississippi wants to replace an already incredibly, you wore a blue education system with what he calls pat

this voracious hunger of alabama and mississippi, and now look up and down the mississippi river going over to louisiana. we also know that in louisiana, and you can see how densely it is burning down there, the sugar regions. they wanted young men. 90% of the men they would buy in virginia, 90% of the people they would buy would be male. the women they bought were girls, and as soon as they could possibly have babies, they would have children. infant mortality was horrific. what do the dots mean? it means two million enslaved people were moved in the south in these decades. 2 million, americans moving other americans. you can see now how the displacement of the american indians is tied to this voracious expansion of slavery and of the south. as the white population changed in the same decades, notice they are not the same. most white people do not own slaves and cannot afford the land where the big slaveholders moved, and they take their 12 enslaved people and get the best land. you have to go somewhere else. you go to the upcountry, northern mississippi. look at the result of all of

they crossed the mississippi before the i stop the other detachments. the others arrived in february in march. it was often been estimated that as many as 4000 of the 16,000 turkeys died as a result of the fourth removal. there appears to have been about 1200 deaths during the actual removal, however there were many additional deaths immediately following removal their reduce the population of the cherokee nation by at least another 1600 people. there were close to 3000 deaths caused by the removal. in may of 1825, the cherokee set passed an act imposing a death penalty on anyone who was proposed to sell in exchange for their lines. after the arrival in the present jerky nation, a group of charities met secretly and sentence many members of the treaty party to death according to the law. major rich along with his son john rich, and his son were all executed at various places on june 22nd of 1839. one of the executioners major rich was james hair. so the trail of tears is an example of what can happen when prejudice combines with greed. it was a directly

this voracious hunger of alabama and mississippi and now look at up and down the mississippi river, going over to louisiana. we also know that in louisiana they would -- and you can see, look how densely it's burning down there. the sugar regions. they wanted young men, and so 90% of the men they would buy here in virginia, 90% of the people they would buy would be males and the women they bought were actually girls, as soon as they can possibly have babies. and they would have children until they could have children no longer, infant mortality was horrific. as we picture all this, what do these dots mean, it means that 2 million enslaved people were moved within the south in these decades, 2 million, americans moving other americans. okay, so you can see now how the displacement of the american indians is tied to this voracious expansion of slavery and of the south. this is white population change in the same decades. one thing you'll notice they're not the same. most white people don't own slaves. you can't afford the land where the big slave holders move from hinraco county down to ala

did cross the mississippi before the ice stopped the other detachments. the others arrived in february and march. and it's often been estimated that as many as 4,000 of the 16,000 cherokees died as a result of the forced removal. there appears to have been only about 1,200 deaths during the actual removal. however, there were many additional deaths immediately following the removal that reduced the population of the cherokee nation by at least an additional 1,600 people. so there were at least close to 3,000 deaths caused by the removal. in may of 1825 the cherokees had passed an act imposing a death penalty on anyone who should propose the sale for the exchange of their lands. after their arrival in the present cherokee nation a group of cherokees met secretly and sentenced various members of the treaty party to death based on that law. major ridge along with his son john ridge, and his nephew elias budenhot were all executed at various places on june 22nd of 1839. and one of the executioners of major ridge was james hair. so the trail of tears is an exa

that is a law that was passed by the mississippi legislature.hat has been in place for many years. and i think it's a good law. but that is sort of the difference where we find ourselves now. as the governor who is operating under emergency statutes, it is my view that it should only be utilized in terms of a statewide mask mandate if and when the numbers call for it, when it is justified, when it is truly an emergency. we are moving towards that area. but, again, if i thought that putting a statewide mask mandate in today would lead to more of my fellow mississippians wearing a mask, i would have a different consideration. what i'm suggesting to you is that when i named 19 counties yesterday whose numbers had increased to meet our criteria, i feel confident that the vast majority of people in those 19 counties fully understand and fully appreciate the danger zone that we find ourselves in. and i believe that the participation of those individuals in those 19 counties is far better today than it was some year or so ago. i'll also tell you, and i

what about those east of the mississippi much different? >> significantly so in one particular way as the predecessors to build those intertribal alliances once you get past the 17th century by the time you the united states was born to go east of the mississippi in the modern midwest they got along pretty well. and they were not inherently a publisher in the way the american west were and it was much easier for them to form alliances because it wasn't the great animosity worth fighting over the limited resources like the buffalo but tribes that were agricultural and supplemented with hunting and they were much less competitive and much more readily swarmed alliances in the last. >> this is a dual biography there are a number of battles in here and to make it exciting with the indian culture and also all the players so with your sources quickly both for the light side and how biased where they? so what is the best source for the book? >> when that was critical that it is a biography you written by a man named stephen who was captured by the

in that you presented a cultural, indian culture west of the mississippi. did you find the native culture in this book eat of the mississippi much different? >> significantly different and that was a surprise to me. significantly different in one particular way that greatly assisted tecumseh and tenskwatawa and their predecessors in building an intertribal alliances. and that is to say that once you got past the great conflict of the 17th century, and by the time the united states was born, the tribes east of the mississippi generally and particularly north of the ohio got along pretty well. they were not inherently a warrior culture in the way the tribes, in the american west work. it was much easier for them to formalize because there was not great animosity. they were not fighting over limited resources like the buffalo. these were tribes that were both agricultural and supplemented that with funding. it was plentiful deer population and we had agriculture. as the nature of the culture they were much less -- much more readily formed alliances than the tr

mayor, everybody knows mississippi is poor and mostly rural. the best equipped hospitals in the whole state, a majority of the icu beds are in jackson. people to come to them for hours away from the delta to the coast. how concerned are you for all mississipians? >> we know covid has not come to discriminate against any one but it has exposed the inequities in our society. people who don't have regular access to our health care are those that are the most susceptible because of underlying health conditions so it is a circumstance which is right to take advantage of those conditions here in mississippi and so this may be the epicenter of where we should be most concerned in the absence of a uniform strategy and a proactive strategy. >> mayor of jackson, mississippi, thanks for your time and all the best. >>> russian and north korean government hackers are trying to steal covid vaccine research they're trying to get it from the united states and other countries and companies around the world. that is the warning now from none other than microsoft

they couldn't say we want their land in alabama and mississippi. instead they had to say this was the best to support them and if you as a congressman really cared about native people, then you would support this policy. so the key evidence which they presented and they attributed in the popular press and numerous articles was that the indigenous populations were diminished and if they were to remain, they could go extinct. and so they pointed to the significant decrease in the native population. it certainly had occurred between 1600 and the 1820s. everybody knew that that these populations had diminished . but the dynamics of demography are quite complicated and the best evidence shows that in the early 19th century these populations in the united states, indigenous populations were perhaps given growth. and so many people send this over and over again and they were frustrated that they couldn't get thismessage out . they found some letters from cherokees and creeks writing to congress or to the president and saying you keep repeating this over a

he ran for fice but i asked john grisham yesterda we get an event and ofourse they'r talking in mississippi and i ran just a little bit and i'm going to read it agaito get their reaction. >> the attitudes of his, i.e. john mccain's southern forebears have ancestors in earlier genetions that distinguisthemselves in war, offered farewells to his own personalities. those qualities derived in part from the personalities of his father and grandfather who were the especially his grandfather in the positions of the misssippi mccains. certainly his high spiritedness, enthusiasms and adventure were an inherent instrument of mccain's mother and her moer wrote about john mccain when mccain's uncle and grandfather, what did they do around farms and an impoverished ar from the law, the church,nothing seemed to challenge them. both john and i think and his answers thought that was fascinating and also were surised at that john was themississippian . so thank you for that insight. jim, i'm gng to sit back and let you take over your you so mucfordoing this . >> barbara thank you mark for a fascinating and

and the new england mississippi company goes the land. the land will go to congress and congress will cut a deal to give them money for it. but part of the problem with the lawsuit. it's a fascinating story. part of the problem with the lawsuit was, it wasn't clear that georgia ever had the power to sell the land in the first place because tribes lived there. it was -- and it was their land. and so how was it that georgia could do this? i want to give a slightly different take on something that kevin said. kevin said it was commonly understood that tribes -- that the real property interest the tribes had in their land was an occupancy right. it was true that some people thought that. but it was really unclear that many people thought that and part of -- a lot of people, including jefferson thought, why would that be? tribes own their land like anybody else owns their land. and really it was kind of a nonissue. it was an academic issue for much of the early period. it became meaningful in this case because if the tribes owned their land, t

let's bring in mississippi governor tate reeves. you just heard cover nor kelly from kansas. >> thanks for having me on today. one size does not fit all. it is why those that are clamoring for a national strategy don't realize the governors in the trenches working every day. what's best for kansas today is not necessarily what's best for mississippi. i have 82 counties in my state. what is best in the northeast part of our state where numbers are in a certain spot versus what's best for the mississippi gulf coast are different. that's why we're taking a county by county approach. we began this dating all the way back to late june, early july. we have an objective criteria in place. if any county has more than 200 cases over a two-week period or more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents then we put additional measures in place, more strict measures in place which may or not include a max mandate. it includes having smaller-size gatherings and other things such as that. so again it's very important that governors have autonomy to do w
