one of the manifestations of the national security state, especially in the, in the sort of apple j. it's arrived at today is that it destroys diplomacy. it destroys the will to diplomacy, and it destroys the skill for diplomacy. if you're a small state like we were for 150 years, in essence, these are these spain, france, england, and even russia. you gotta be exquisitely good diplomacy. you've got to be able to talk yourself out of lots of things and make deals, and compromises and so forth. but if you're the world edelman, you don't deal with anybody, you smack your military, you smack them on may 3rd of 2000 and the ambassador of switzerland to delivers a letter from the wrong to the united states in that matter. the volumes essentially offer negotiations to open up the nuclear program for full transparency . the proposal came in. i happened to see it because coffee was also given to a member of congress that i worked for at the time. he sent it over to the white house and called rove colorado callback. and he said that he found the proposal intriguing. he wanted to know if it wa

original development and calls of education for children especially for the young women will be like multi generational potential that any nationwo-thirds of the country. it's a huge number which i don't think that taliban can deny access to the opportunities and education is a big number. i'm not sure how they want to deny it because the younger generation are different than 1998. >> and something you point out roya, the fact 70% of the afghan population is young. they never had another experience except for the ability to access education and have a taste of a bit of tree freedom. that is going to be difficult to move people back after a generation of experiencing that. i want to ask you, one of the projects you were working on before this happened was to create ventilators to address the need of those patients in afghanistan where ventilation had sadly run out. where is the state of that project now? >> so during the pandemic, the low cost ventilator for helping our people and so now all of ours are in afghanistan and the robot we build it for the competition that we are going to have in 2021 and this robot we also listed in

the government is clamped down on whistleblowers, especially national security whistleblowers. but one of the things that government doesn't understand neil is that there is no jail sentence long enough to make people go against their own conscience. when, when people see evidence of waste, fraud, abuse illegality, or threats to the public health or public safety, they are compelled to say something and to do something to stop it. i think we should all be in encouraging that. as i said, you paid a high price for what you did that may scare some people off from, from doing the same. what needs to be done next to make sure that those people empower, is sometimes a breaking the rules sometimes killing innocent people on our behalf. such remember they work for, for us members of the public. what needs to be done to make sure that they aren't allowed to continue to do that? what we have to have is true and robust, congressional oversight, which we have not had in decades. you know, when you look at the senate and house intelligence committees, the foreign affairs and foreign relatio

the results tonight are bound to have national implications, especially if newsom is recalled. >> reporterts in los angeles, about a third of them have been returned. that's why we're not seeing a line snaking around the block here at this polling center. joe biden himself last night here in long beach campaigning for newsom said the result of this will not just be felt, reverberate around the country, but the world. and when you see who the democrats have put up to stump for newsom, both in person and in tv ads, you can see how seriously they're taking this. biden's been here, kamala harris has been here, klobuchar has appeared, elizabeth warren, barack obama. they are taking this very seriously. at stake is control of a huge blue state, the fifth largest economy in the world. and of course should a senate vacancy come up, the governor would appoint somebody to fill that. and anything other than a pretty convincing win for gavin newsom is going to be a very bad look, not just for gavin newsom but for the democratic party on a national level. >> gavin newsom made a last-minute campaign sto

tomorrow's vote carries national consequences, especially when you look ahead as you mentioned in the. just talk about how high the stakes are in this california vote tomorrow. enough so that it has become a national question. and even though californians are going to be the one that decide whether there should be. a recall of the governor. this race is being watched across the country. and as you noted, when you have all these high profile people coming into the state that tells you something there, there was great concern 678 weeks ago when the polling made it clear that gavin newsom was in trouble, and they really had to hit the gas at all. to get this. uh no on recall effort, moving and to make it really stick in california, but it has national import, julie without question. all right well, brian, thanks so much 22 million ballots were mailed out. about eight million californians have already voted. it could come down. we'll see what happens tomorrow when people go to the polls. brian sobel. always good to have you. thank you. thank you julie. and of course, we plan to deliver el

but the national economy has been especially cruel to west virginia. he nation in opioid use and deaths from it per capita. in poverty they ranked sixth illumination. obesity, they ranked second. education they rank 45th, fifth from the bottom. and in vaccinations they ranked 47th out of 50 states. if you buy into the theory that democrats have become the whole foods party and have forgotten how to speak american, well, west virginia is the living proof of that theory. trump carried the state twice by just under 70 points each time. that may help explain why joe manchin is the most republican democrat in washington. national democrats have stopped in west virginia, jfk and rfk come to mind, two guys from new england campaigning in books brother suits. hillary clinton famously promised green new jobs to out of work coal miners. and they are still waiting on those. jim justice is the republican governor of west virginia. and as a billionaire businessman he also happens to be the wealthiest man in the whole states. but he speaks west virginia because he is

sports have always been a cornerstone of the american culture, especially our national pastime, baseball are more than just games that helped the nation move forward in its darkest hours. this was never more apparent than in the wake of a terror attack on september 11. the world came to a standstill on that horrifying day. shea stadium the home of the mets became a staging area for first responders and volunteers. the team becoming an ambassador for the battered city. >> it leaves you speechless. >> something like this happens and they did what they did, you put them on an even higher pedestal. reporter: then days after the attack baseball returns to new york where baseball faced the atlanta braves. >> we return to our national pastime in part to show that america can and will go on. >> it was a temporary escape from the painful reality. >> each day that goes by it's a healing process for the city and the country. reporter: the mets honored the nation's heroes with a moment of silence. and a 21-gun salute. members from the fdny, nypd and port authority threw out the first pitch. many emo

especially nationally? he and kamala harris have kind of played this little dance where they've never actually gone head to head. but you have to believe that at some point they're both going to go up against each other because they both want to be the president. well it will be really interesting to see how governor newsom survives. is it a landslide? or is it closer than we think? and then, of course, we still have to see what happens in the next election. he's up for reelection actually, quite soon, which is why, you know people have questioned the timing of this recall and whether or not it's actually worth the taxpayer funds, but i think we haven't quite seen. um what type of candidate governor newsom will be when he goes to that next race. but as you point out, you know, there will be a next race. he's young. he's ambitious. he doesn't have public service out of his system yet, and i just have a feeling that governor newsom and vice president harris has done a really good job of trying to avoid those
