mrs. thomas anything further, justice breyer? >> parole decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, is that right? a. that's correct praise that the statistics statistics that you cited the statistic the response provided in their brief about the number of of individuals are who are being paroled every month or very high so what does it mean for there to be a case-by-case determination? think of the example of people who want to go to a baseball game at nationals park so they all line up and they try to get to the turnstile and somebody says to you have a ticket, yes? do you they have a gun. no gun. do they have alcohol? no alcohol. fireworks, nothing, no fireworks, fine. set a case-by-case determination in your view? >> that would satisfy the requirement. >> that's what you are basically doing. you have the check is in the go boom, loom, boom and that's how you process. if that's what you think i was met by case-by-case determination. >> make an assessment about the categories and dhs is doing that on the ground. >> justice soto

mr. coulibaly: more accountability. ms. thomas-greenfield: so we are ready to explain why they used their veto and we want others to explain when they use their veto as well. and we need to, within the u.n. system, ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the u.n., itself. we are working to stamp out sexual abuse, exploitation. we are pushing the u.n. to become more efficient. and we are working with other countries to support their best efforts as well. there is lots of discussion when you talk about you and reform of security council reform as well. and what that would mean in terms of adding new elective members as well as adding new permanent members of the security counsel. we are prepared to engage in those discussions and see -- and absolutely see where they meet us. mr. coulibaly: at brookings we are doing work looking at this. brought together scholars from global north and global south to collectively talk about how the u.n. can reform and what reforms the u.n. system could look like. we have some ideas and proposals we

justice thomas, anything further? >> mr. eric feigin, i sympathize with the position you are in. >> thank you. >> [laughs] >> because normally, when there is a registration, and noncompliance with the conditions for that registration, you lose your registration, like a car, you are right to drive or that sort of thing. this case, you have the dea registration, but it is self policed. your honor, you can retain it under certain conditions. that is, you comply with the standards of the medical profession, of prescribing drugs, it sarah. and then, it comes up as to whether this compliance is sufficient when you are indicted for the underlying 841 crime. you think of another condition of which a registration like this could then become a part of a criminal offense because you failed to comply with those conditions? >> well, your honor, i am not thinking of one right off the top of my head. i mean one imperfect analogy is for example, the standardized conditions of the supervised release if you are not necessarily -- maybe in the

mr. yang. justice thomas, anything further? justice breyer? pleasure justice kavanaugh? >> two questions. so you mentioned a third path. there's direct review which gets you prospective benefits, there's the collateral review that if it applies can get you withic retroactive benefits, you said it doesn't apply here -- >> there's actually four types of this things. >> okay. >> direct appeal gives you -- >> i meant the supplemental claim -- >> right, supplement call claim, right -- >> right, that gives you prospect isive. >> sometimes it's retrospect retrospective up to a year if there's a new law, but it's limited. >>bu the my question is about te secretary review. is that that a real thing? >> it doesn't come up a lot. >> okay. i'll take that. not really. >> -- [inaudible] so the secretary would, you know, could simply decide not to act. >> and then on the hardship question, you know, it's tough for us to figure out this, and this happened yesterday too, how much of a hardship will this really be in the veterans administration, veterans system. so, you know, to the extent you can document

. >> next question from thomas. >> hi mr. secretary thank you sm much for being at the council ob foreign relations and the director of the global health program here. thank you for all ofd the work and your team have been doing in this pandemic. earlier question raised the question of the world health assembly one of the topics is the increasing countries, assessed contributions to the world health organization. presently the world health organization is funded in the united states as a global agenda and mandate to pursue. there is presently a proposal that emerge from the administration and budget committee for member states to consider the world health assembly whether or not increase debbie which owes contribution. ie am wondering whether or not the united states, you are what they need to to gain u.s. support for increasing the contributions. >> thomas, thank you for asking the question. with the difficult question to respond to we are back in this global game. we want to think big and show we are big and will play big a

they hate george washington, thomas jefferson, dr. zeus and mr. potato head.ers also hate america and they want to beat it. and they think they are smarter and more virtuous than the rest of us. they think all nonwokers are racist and ignorant and misogynistic. they think they -- we should shut up and listen to them and let them run our lives. and they will let us ab eat meat occasionally and that is a long-winded way of explaining why the majority of the american people right now trust the biden administration like they trust a kmart bathroom. >> laura: that's an insult to the kmart bathrooms out there, senator. but i will leave that be. speaking of the inflation problem, earlier today the president suggested once again that it's not really his fault. >> president biden: putin invasion of ukraine has driven up gas prices all over the world. we saw that yesterday in inflation data. what people don't know is that 70% of the increase in the inflation was a consequence of putin's price because of the impact on oil prices. 70%. >> laura: we are not sure where he g

ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas-greenfield announced a push to have russia removed mr. the u.s. human rights council. >> we cannot let a member state that is subverting every principle we hold dear to continue to sit on the u.n. human rights council. russia should not have a position of authority in that body. >> it's images like this from bucha triggering that move by the united states. cnn's teams saw this with their own eyes. horrifying images, the dead strewn in body bags in that mass grave. we also have new satellite images that appear to show mass graves dug in the grounds of a church in bucha. let me show you where bucha is on the map. so close to kyiv right there, just to the northwest of the central part of the city. we had other activity overnight we want to tell you about right now, an air strike, ukrainians said, in the port city of odesa following a russian oil strike on an oil refinery and fuel depot. in mykolaiv, the mayor says missile strikes there killed one and injured five. >>> we want to return to bucha where fred pleitgen and his team have been on t

mr. casarez, i will be speaking very shortly with thomas eldest, the former president of estonia. these are former soviet republics who became nato countries. while they are fearful of russian expansion, they are guaranteed of a mutual defense with nato. that is something that ukraine does not have. that is something that ukraine has asked for, they have asked for a no-fly zone. there is great concern in the west, including amongst our viewers, that if nato does look at this and step up its protection of ukraine. including with things like no-fly zone, and direct military intervention, it will trigger a nuclear war. something that vladimir putin has alluded to, several times. had we square this? how can we not watch these imagery of atrocity, these warcrimes, something that is starting to look like a genocide, because we cannot risk nuclear war? >> i believe that the situation is a reverse, the absolute opposite of this logic. you should not provoke, you should dot stand against putin because he might result too many nukes. it is the opposite. he is like an animal he is learning,

mr. nate, so phil can -- >> nate ford. >> i know you said you don't do this, but i want to have done for myself, the girls and others, the things you've done is very much appreciated. i'm thomas wilson, i'm deaf and living in the tenderloin. i want to thank mr. nate ford who has helped me navigate the processes in enrolling my children for the summer programs. he sat we come e -- his patience with me as well as his willingness to go the extra mile to make sure my kids are fed each day. i'm single father who has fallen on hard times and my kids are my rock and all i have. nate takes the time to make sure that even now they have activities to do on the weekends. mr. nate has connected me with a part-time job at the recycling plant. i could never pay mr. nate back for all the assistance he's provided to me and my kids, i can only think that god has sent mr. nate to help me get back on my feet. for that i am forever grateful to him. in return, i would like to say i have taught him to communicate with a deaf person as he signs to me now. if there is an award, i think mr. nate should be the front-runner. his sense of community and understanding make him a superhero to many. please

mr. speaker, the actions of justice thomas and his wife, virginia, have undermined the constitution. ms. thomas was in direct communication with the trump white house in a conspiracy to undermine the peaceful transfer of power between presidents. justice thomas should recuse himself from cases related to his wife's involvement. yet, he took part in court rulings and voted to prevent the disclosure of white house communications. justice thomas failed to disclose his wife's nearly 700,000,000 in income from the -- $700,000 in income from the heritage foundation. justice thomas has repeatedly failed to meet his ethical obligations of recusal and disclosure that are expected of a federal judge. the american people entrust members of congress and the supreme court to defend our constitution, our laws, and our democracy. his wife's involvement in the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election, justice thomas' failure to recuse himself have made him ethical incompromised ande he's unfit to be a natural arbitrator of justice. justice ams into, you -- thomas, you should resign from the supreme co

mr. james the freedom he deserves. >> reporter: he had been convicted in a death, but prosecutors believe police picked up the wrong thomas james, and the witness who identified him said she made a mistake. >> there was really no other evidence of his guilt. in fact, there was no physical evidence that we could find tying anyone to the crime. >> reporter: while james releases a moment of joy for his family, his lawyer acknowledged the development leaves little peace for the victim's family. >> my deepest sympathy goes to the mckinnon family. i know how it is to believe in something and to have that taken away from you. >> reporter: james said he never gave up hope that he'd be released because the truth always comes out. ted scouten, cbs news, miami. >>> former president trump is appealing a new york judge's decision to hold him in contempt of court and fine him $10,000 a day. the judge said that trump failed to comply with a subpoena to turn over records as part of the new york state attorney general's investigation into his business dealings. trump's attorney says a search found no documents to provide investigators exc

for free for example, even our former president thomas hendrik ilves gave his house on a farm to a ukrainian family from kharkiv. thank you very much , mre and i hope not. i know that you are also sure that ukraine will win this war and it will happen already. soon, but after this war, ukraine will be different and europe will be different, but how different will europe be? i think it will change a lot, we will never go back to february 24, in my opinion, some international organizations will have to change completely for example, if we talk about the osce, what role does the organization play, it did not help to avert war, or for example, the un, its security council, that is, it does not only apply to europe, it also did not help to avert a major war in europe, so i think i think that the security picture of international relations is mechanisms that use this kind of situations, it is necessary to create something new, it is necessary to invent some new ways, because otherwise there is always an alternative we must strengthen our own security, the free world must interact more closely and countries in it, we should support each other

thomas, anything further? >> thank you, counsel. >> thank you, mr. chief justice. thank you mr. chief justice and may i please the court? although petitioners are trying to disclaim it as much as they can, they really are asking the court to transform the registrations promised on the idea that they are actually practicing medicine into licenses to their own subjective views violating the general rule that drug pushing is illegal. they want to be free of any obligation even to undertake any minimal effort to act like doctors when they prescribe dangerous, highly addictive and in one case lethal dosages of drugs to trusting and vulnerable patients. that's not what this court said in moore where i think everyone agrees the court implicitly adopted the jury instructions in that case which distilled the statutory and regulatory requirements here to come up with an honest effort to standard. if the doctor is trying in moore to act as a physician, he can't be convicted under section 841. but a doctor can choose to be the kind of doctor who seeks aid dea registration because he wants t

thomas, the ukranian president, addressing the world and calling out the united nations. and that sound bite that we have just heard actually summarizes the 2 main points that mr. zalinski a tried to present before they knighted nation security council. on the one hand, his criticism of russia, of those war crimes, as he described them, telling also western nations telling the international community about those atrocities. on the other hand, also criticizing the united nations security council itself, or it's inaction and basically calling for a reform of the united nations security council. it's important to stress that the united nations security council has one of that key un institutions, holes. a lot of power, for example, has the capacity to present binding resolutions. yet at the same time, the 5 permanent members of that security council have a veto power. and one of those 5 members is russia, which basically means that on this particular case, it is very difficult to have concrete action from the united nations security council. and that was something that mr. savanski with this particular sound might but more in general with his age clearly tried to

thomas graham. now he's a distinguished fellow at the council on foreign relations. he joins us from new york city, mr. graham, it's good to have you on the program with this, russia says that it handed over its proposals to ukraine on a path to peace. obviously, we don't know what's inside, but what can we read into the fact that this path still seems to be open? well, i don't think it's a serious path. at this point in the previous negotiations, demands that russia were russia was making on ukraine's were basically that a capitulate that had agreed to the independence of the, the separatist regions, to russia's annexation of crimea. and that ukraine become neutral. clearly, all these things together aren't acceptable to your crime. i don't think that moscow is engaged in serious negotiations at this point. so what do you think they're up to right now? well i think part of this is that they want to try to put pressure on your brain. but obviously they are launching a, a new offensive in the east. i. they hope to take over the full glass, but no, not in the near future. and something that would allow

mr. president, that is a radical statement. our country was founded on the quote i just fred the declaration -- from the declaration of independence with those words that thomas jefferson penned. we declared our independence from great britain. we declared that we were our own nation, we started a revolutionary war, we drafted a constitution based on the proposition, we hold these truths to be self-evident. they're not evident to judge jackson. she doesn't hold a position that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. judge jackson says she has no position on whether you have a right to life. she has no position over whether you have a right to liberty. she has no position over whether you have a right to the pursuit of happiness. ful you're a modern leftist, if you're a socialist who wants the government to control every aspect of your life, every aspect of your freedom, then a judge that has no view on whether we have natural rights is exactly the kind of judge you want. and by the way, to understand how radical her opinion is, you can l

mr. gandhi >> aye. >> commissioner heldfond. >> aye. >> president safai. >> aye. >> commissioner thomas. >> thank you. we have six ayes, motion passes. >> perfect. that would be for item 14 and 15. please call item no. 16. >> item no. 16, discussion item. san francisco deferred compensation plan monthly report. >> thank you, ms. armanito and commissioners, the monthly report will cover serve rah items today that's of importance to the board and the stable value funds crediting rate increased to 1.70 for q2. this is guaranteed for the full quarter and will be reset higher or lower in q3 depending on interest rates and fixed income performance. stable value is the plans most conservative investment option with one billion in contributions and participants over age 56 make up nearly 40% of the investor in that fund. this makes sense as general financial knowledge that your portfolio should be conservative with age as you focus on capital preservation than growth. this group ducktails nicely with our next update on rmd's. rmd's are required minimum distributions mandated by the ers to force

thomas, do you have anything further. [background sounds]. >> thank you counsel. >> thank you mr. chief justice. [background sounds]. >> thank you and may it please the court, other than trying to disclaim this is much as they can, they really are acting are asking the courts to transform their d8 registration which are premised on the idea that there actually practicing medicine, into licenses, to have their own subjective views violate the general rule that drug - is illegal he would be free of any obligation even to undertake any minimal effort to act like doctors when they prescribed dangerous, highly addictive and in one case lethal the use of drugs to trusting and vulnerable patients. that is not with this court did and more aware i think that everyone agrees that the court adopted the instructions in the case which instilled the statutory and regulatory requirements here to come up with an honest effort standard and if the doctor is trying and moores words quotes to act as a physician, he can't be convicted under site and section a for life but the doctor choose to be the kind of not who

thomas jefferson calls with the laboratories of democracy and let individual state figure out the best way to heal these issues, not a one-size-fits-all situation. >> mrey general, you may recall in the earlier elections in this century, there's voter intimidation at certain pulling places in large cities, the democrat obviously know the way bowling is right now, you're not in election this coming midterm. has there been any discussion within virginia government or attorneys general to shore intimidation will not take place in larger cities? >> i confess as far as the idea of voter intimidation, intimidated to vote, everyone should have the decency of being able to vote if not have fear. if anyone tried to do that in virginia, my office would come down on that like a pound of bricks. one of my earliest memories as a child was my mother taking me with her to watch her vote her first time she got to vote which was for ronald reagan in 1984 but every american -- if any american or virginia feels they are intimidated and can't vote then full force of my office and make sure they have.
