edward: missouri senator eric schmidt.mayor quentin lucas on notice the transporting illegal migrants in the state of missouri is a felony crime. we have an open invitation for the mayor to join us. mr. attorney general, the kansas city mayor made the call to welcome migrants across the border illegally to come to kansas city to work and the mayor saying migrants could have a work permit. what's wrong with having people work in those jobs? >> taking jobs from working missouri families, we have statutes on the books that prohibit the knowing get transport of criminal aliens into or through the state, we will enforce the law that's on the books to deter trafficking through the state but also illegal for businesses to hire undocumented workers. senator hawley who is exposing the fact the secretary's parole process is illegally providing parole and work documents to these criminal aliens who crossed illegally, we filed a lawsuit against the biden administration to close the loophole and stop this abuse of the parole system and

missouri has an instrument thalty of state government, the missouri higher education loan authority thatministratorss payment and reat the same time of student loans, it would is have cost missouri taxpayers $44 million, more than a half trillion martially, and we anticipate this plan is going to cost missourians exactly the same amount if not more. we know nationally it costs more, so we can't let joe biden saddle hard working missouri families with debt. we're -- stuart: biden says he's also pushing for free community college. watch this, roll it.

in the wake of the missouri compromise. but it never came to a vote. while the slaveholding interests failed, enact a more stringent federal that could that would guarantee the return of absconding slaves. northern states added insult to injury by passing a series of what was called personal liberty laws that further curtail the effectiveness of the 7093 law. some of these laws require that anyone accused of being a slave was entitled to a hearing before a jury. pennsylvania's 1847 law, for instance, denies slave holders the use of the state's prison to all escapees awaiting extradition. this had real, practical significance at a time when there no federal prisons. when in august 1851, the harrisburg commissioner remanded a escapee to maryland. the acting for the enslaved the enslaved looked for a secure place to hold the enslaved while waiting, awaiting the next train to maryland. during the night, members of the black community set the hotel on fire. the fire was detected and extinguished before any harm come to the occupants. the next day, the agent

he drives out to missouri. and so this for me gives you a chance to have this growing admiration that i did for the man as he kind of figures this stuff out. and as he grows from an unknown state level politician, basically into a national leader, a man who would be president, i'll talk about that some at the end and hopefully have time to answer your questions. but first, i thought i'd tell you a little bit about how i came to write this book and how it came together. for me, it was a first time author. this was kind of interesting stuff for me, and i thought i'd share a little bit of peel back the curtain a little bit and share some of it with you. a decade or so ago, 21 years ago. boy, time flies. i was asked to write a magazine article about my hometown about the motor city's contributions to the war effort. i'm from just outside detroit. my father was an autoworker. my grandparents were among the many southerners who moved north during the war to work in the war plants and and that's where i grew up. and s

this evening we're continuing our series, taking a look at toxic sites in missouri.ight, much of the public was unaware of contaminated sites in st. louis for decades. tonight my colleague bret baier digs into historical records that show how much the government made known work to dispose of radioactive waste. >> gillian: we'll bring you more of that coming up next. some tech problems on our end. coming up next, we're going to have the panel on the politics of presidential immunity and then later on in the show, a special day for a world war ii veteran. stick with us. it crushed my confidence. but no longer will psoriasis get a piece of me. i can love my skin again. with bimzelx. only bimzelx targets and blocks il-17a plus f to calm inflammation. i can control my plaques, and start getting myself back. bimzelx helps adults with moderate to severe psoriasis control plaques, to deliver clearer skin fast, for results that last. i will give myself back the freedom of shorts. dare to wear black again from head to toe. (♪) most people got 100% clear skin. some after the fi

just kind of randomly into missouri.achary treitz, do you consider bill hamilton a reliable source? guest: putting me on the spot here. i think that bill in my mind was a very well-meaning person as far as i could tell who wanted answers to a very complicated, difficult to discern story of what happened to ms. software and what had happened to his company, which went bankrupt trying to fight the justice department essentially, so when he was talking to christian over the years, i do not know how you could keep up the volume of communication that bill did, thousands of emails, tons of calls to christian without sincerely trying to find out what happened. as far as his ultimate reliability, that sort of comes into question in the movie, and we grapple with that, and i do not know that i have too much more to say about it other than what we put in their. i tried to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and it is an extremely complicated story and it is easy to get lost within the maze of this into not know what is real an

this missouri lawyer deleted all her dating apps except i forgot one.he received a message from the love of her life. but why? she says she's now planning a wedding. she can't have. plus, a new study finds the number of hispanic voters has more than tripled over the last decade. how's that reshaping politics in america? marriage rates are getting back i thought i knew a lot about our irish roots; i was surprised to learn so many more things. there's the family name. 1892 wow. that one here is the boat they came over on. yes. wow. to normal following a dip during the pandemic. that's according to new numbers from the cdc. but one missouri couple says, pandemic or not, they still can't get married. gabriella garbero and juan johnson met in 2015, six years later, they got engaged. and that's it. no wedding. that's because gabriella a lawyer, has disabilities and relies on social security benefits. if she and juan get married, the social security administration will consider his assets when deciding her benefits, meaning she could potentially lose her careg

people from missouri, whatever, they're going to come in to vote. so we're not going to participate. we're not even going to show up at the polls. so when they go to vote, 90 some odd percent or more of, the people are voting for the pro slave three delegates to this to this convention. and they they draft a convention. it strongly pro-slavery and they send it off to to the president states james buchanan and are looking for him to pass it along to congress with his recommendation. well, buchanan is now aware of the situation about again, half territory didn't vote. but as far he was concerned, that was sort of their tough luck. they made that decision. he's going to go with what was the official vote? what is the law? he's got a document that he thinks he needs to stand behind. he says, we acknowledge no master the law. we should cut loose from its restraint. should we cut loose from its restraints? everyone and everyone do it seem as good in his own. our case will indeed be hopeless. so he's going to follow what? the official word coming out of ka

missouri had standing to bring the lawsuits because missouri had something called mohilo and loan servicingrganization within the state and that provided the standings, which what the case hinged on is and my guess is what these cases and challenges are being bought by other ags following a similar path struck down and to your point, larry, this is a sin criminal election year ploy to try and go after younger voters. it's not going to work. it's also a middle finger to working class folks who either work through college or didn't take debt at all or, you know, a bunch of different scenarios and going to cater to people he's losing because the economy is so bad. it's twice as expensive now to buy a home. if you're trying to get in your first house, it's twice as expensive because of interest rates than just a few years ago. every time you go to the grocery store and home depot, whatever it is. things are 20-30% more expensive and cost to fuel your home or car is higher because of joe biden. here it is now, an election year and he knows what i think is really going to happen and ultimately it

there's an objection from the senator from missouri saying he's going to object. he's not going to agree to that in which case, everything that senator schumer just proposed falls to the wayside and then senator schumer was prepared to move forward with a point of order point of order is something that is immediately taken up. >> it could supersedes any other pending business an appointment border is is concerned with whether or not the senate understands and is following properly its own rules. so the point of order that senators schumer made was well, in that case we need to vote on whether or not the first article of impeachment made against the secretary is constitutional i think we know where that's going to go. >> i think a majority of the senate will likely vote. it's not constitutional in which case it's to effectively removed or dismissed we have melanie zanona standing by watching all of this unfold on capitol hill, melanie, notably, now that the senate is moving to potentially dismiss at least article one again, secretary mayorkas it may not strictly br

and this is cnn well, tonight, the state of missouri executed brian dorsey by lethal injection. if we just say there were no complications he was sentenced to the death for the murder of his cousin, sarah, bonnie and her husband, benjamin. in 2006. they'd offered him a safe place to stay after a confrontation with a drug dealer in his apartment. but that night he shot sarah and benjamin in their bedroom, leaving their four-year-old daughter unharmed. in his last statement, dorsey wrote to all of the family and loved ones i share with sarah and to all of the surviving family and loved ones of ben. i am totally deeply overwhelmingly sorry. >> words >> cannot hold the just weight of my guilt and shame >> i >> still love you multiple people came out in support of him in his final days. 70 to prison workers from the very institution he lived in were against his execution also, a former missouri supreme court justice several missouri's representatives, even five jurors from the penalty phase of his trial and they're not >> alone. members of the family are split. some were in favor of

compromise of 1820, which allowed missouri to come in as a slave holding state. maine was later brought in as a free state, a geographical line. the 3630 line was drawn on the map, saying that all states that come in from louisiana, territory above that line would be free. and then below that line would be slave. and most importantly, it said a precedent of maintain a sectional balance. and so what we see in the admission states after the missouri compromise is every time a slave or a non slaveholding state is admitted, very shortly thereafter, the other is admitted to keep a balance. and so now with the acquisition of what we're on the threshold of the acquisition of all that land, this question is really open and it also creates a political firestorm. but back to your original question, peter, it's very clear that will mont is not advocating about the evils of slavery. that's not his argument. and so the other thing that students really ought to notice from this document is that what wilmot is proposing is part of a free soil doctrine or ideology that the land
