so there was a lot of draft at the national level -- the graft at the national level. interesting though despite graft in the grant administration, the republican party still the emerged as a kind of party of good government because they spoke whatever graft was going on, they spoke the language of good government and purity whereas the tammany people and the democrats never spoke that way. even the southern democrats were not quite so righteous, if you will, as the northern republicans. and there is in coming out of the corruption and the grant administration and other scandals, there's a movement at the national level for what they call civil service reform. and this is the idea -- didn't want to get too much into it here, but it's a good question that you ask. so to clarify at the national level, this is playing out at the national level as well. excuse me here. a reliable marker.

and so to clarify at the national level, this is playing out at the national level as well. let's see, excuse me here. let me get a reliable marker. civil service reform. pendleton act. it was around, in the early 1880s. i don't have the exact date. but here's the situation. to cut down on graft on, like, just giving jobs to your friends, the idea is, well, we need -- we don't need cronies in government, we need people that can actually do the job. and so we need a civil service; that is, you're going to get a job in government not because you though -- you know somebody, but because you're qualified. so there will be a civil service test you will take. this is something that will be played out at the national level. there was the pendleton act, a civil service reform act that mandated that a greater percentage of federal government jobs would be acquired only through passing a civil service exam. this is in terms of the plunkett readings, this is one that i -- a big issue with plunkett as well. i chose not to focus on it for reasons that we'll see here, but this is also bei

to clarify, at the national level this is playing out at the national level as well. a reliable marker t. civil service reform. pendleton act around the early 1880s. i don't have the exact date in my mind. but here is the situation. to cut down on graft on like just getting your job -- giving jobs to your friend, the idea is like, well, we don't need cronies in government. we need people that can actually do the job. and so we need a civil service. that is, you are going to get a job in government not because you know somebody, but if you qualify. so there will be a civil service test you will take. this is something that will be played out at the national level, the pendleton act. civil service reform act mandated that greater percentage of federal government jobs would be acquired only through passing a civil service exam. this is in terms of the plunkett readings, there is a big issue with plunkett as well. i chose not to focus on it for reasons that we'll see here. but this is also being played out at the local level. civil service reform is something that connect

there are some big observations that sort of grow out of looking at 9/11 on a national level like that that i want to spend some time talking about tonight. the first is just how different our country was on the morning of september 11. that we sort of now say flippantly and in passing, 9/11 changed everything. but we forget just how much actually 9/11 changed. and to capture that, we have to actually look at what to me is the most fascinating moment of 9/11, which is the 17 minutes between the first crash and the second crash. eighth:46 in the morning to 9:03. and what unfolds during those 17 minutes is the country read large and new york specifically watches that first crash and shrugs. you probably, if you watch tv that morning, you probably remember going through this precise thought process. the tv was live at 8:49 that morning from the twin towers, three minutes after the first crash. and for 14 minutes, and americaa watched that first crash. and i bet everyone in this room who watched said the same thing that i did, which is some combo of must be a small plane, must be a weird a

local districts, private business, i don't think you would see this be a political fight at a national level national level, unfortunately, and you're going to see some governors try to position themselves on this issue, like you have seen in florida. and you're going to see the federal government, the biden administration, fighting those states and fighting to implement these osha rules. the end result is i think businesses that were going to move forward on mandates have moved forward. and businesses that are rerelubtant to do it are probably going to wait in place and see what happens with the outcome of the litigation involving osha. by the time the lawsuits ends up getting involved, probably we'll be through the surge we're seeing right now, the delta surge and maybe on the back end of the pandemic here. >> brennan: for people, it leaves a lot of confusion with them about what they can be expected to do and what they can expect of their coworkers when they walk into the office. dr. gottlieb, more to talk with you as always but we have to leave it there today. thank you for your time and

. >>, as -- rob, as someone who worked on the national level and represented the republican party at the national level should the , republican party be taking on state legislatures that are putting up these kinds of laws? >> you have to look at the root cause and say why are -- you know, we have had a history that predates trump of elected officials challenging the results of elections. but the question is why have we suddenly had this rash, covid exposed some of this. it is a state-by-state system. the secretary of state is elected or appointed by the governor. they are politicians making decisions but also looking to do other things. it has always been a political apparatus so the concept that you know, from a d.c. perspective i am always the one , in the chair getting yelled at about voter rights. why are there so many americans questioning the integrity of the election? do they have a right to ask these questions or change the laws to address some of the cracks they see in the system? you get a lot of you don't know what you are talking about which shortcuts the conversation. sh

because of the national level being supportive of the mandate which is negatively effecting the black community hoc, newsome said he wasn't putting up with it that they're probably would be riots again. even want went as far as saying that there will likely be blood in the streets if he, thanks to that, going to go back to the old ways of placing than we are going to take to the streets. again. they will be riots that will be fire and that will be bloodshed because we believe in defending our people. now instead of responding directly to what hawk newsome was saying, and more specifically why he was saying it, ah eric adams actually said, fellow democrats and other politicians. hey, let's rebuke what hog newsome is saying, say that we can have justice and law and order without violence. which actually doesn't get down to the crux of what newsome is saying. now what would happen was to make a statement like that, well, we can just look at stopping frisk in new york city because when, when, when we talk about tough on crime, this is one of the features that we're usually discussing. sto

at the national level in a crisis situation, which we have in 1965, we had a crisis situation, that was a long-term crisis, it was a crisis of denying african-americans the right to vote from the end of reconstruction to a large degree up until the passage of the 1965 act. but we don't have that crisis situation right now. and the notion that the local jurisdictions are not the best decisionmakers on this and that somehow there's a better location in the district's comity for this situation strikes me as unlikely. this is not just decision making on election administrations. this is decision making on drawing legislative plans. jeff and i share the view that we ought to have fair plans. but like beauty, one's definition of fairness is often dependent upon one's point of view. which way your feet are pointed. so we -- fairness concepts are tricky to deal with. and we start out with a system that's a geographically based system rather than a list system. if your definition of fairness is some type of proportionality we would need a list system like italy or france or some component of a l

yet another winter surge are continuing as the number of covid cases continues to grow at the national leveling here in the bay area. more people are hitting the road in planning large gatherings and that creates opportunities for the virus to spread. >> our first grant lotus joins us now in the studio with how local health departments are planning for all this grant. >> a candidate you know the past. what, 1819, months we've been dealing with these. they say that mike is a that is >> you know, i think it was had to turn it this hour now. it i think that the main message here is they want people to get the booster you a battery must be low. so we come back to grant later. what do you want to. okay. we're gonna move on. come back to you, but you get another battery for that microphone. >> and now we're on to. >> to this leaders are more than ready to use of federal money. that's coming from the new infrastructure bill over the next 5 years. the bay area will receive a guaranteed 4.5 billion dollars for rose for bridges, for public transit and internet access today. house speaker nancy pelosi

things that as we look at policy and the overall implications of those policies both from the national level and a local level, the ability to engage in policy discussion and put policies in place that are helpful for what realities are based on. so obviously i'm sure you may not have heard this, this climate solution, there's a case of that. where do you see opportunities around the impact of these fires the mitigation of these fires and the policy realm and discussions that are happening now with the trees act and so many other things in the four street natural resources from. >> i think the big thing is just making sure we're all having the same conversation. i think it's difficult to an act change being proactive like you saidversus reactive . people are on the same page, having the same conversation aboutwhat these fires are like again , just trying to help places that haven't burned down yet and they don't necessarily see it as athreat . is not just the people in policies or as the foresters do, can be important when we have to do it. because public support is hard, i think that's the

also starting to get reaction from folks here in the community as well as on the state and the national level. we did get a reaction to the verdict from the kenosha district attorney's office. he said we respect the verdict of the jury after 3 1/2 days of deliberations. self-defense is highly contentious in our times. we ask that all members of the public accept the verdict and not resource to violence. after that verdict came out, justin blake, the uncle of jacob blake that was shot by police, which sparked the unrest we saw a year ago here in kenosha, i spoke to him. he was headed down from the courthouse steps. i asked him for his reaction on this. obviously he was unhappy by the outcome. he did say though as frustrating and as upset as he was, he called for folks to be constructive hear and peaceful and take this energy and passion and fight for charge on the local and national level. there's a very heavy stepped up police presence throughout the week. any time there's been trouble here in front of the courthouse, in moments we've seen police swoop in in vans and take in to custody whoeve

things thais characterized this conflict is that it fractured the ethiopian armed forces at the national level. each of ethiopian units has its separate security apparatus as well as police services and less well structured militia. which is been increasingly brought in over the last month as the conflict has re-escalated. there's a big difference between able to dislodge the government and think able to stay. keep in mind the tpl left work at the ruling coalition. until just a couple of years ago. this is different from the situation in 1991 when they were part of a coalition. they had won the war. this is a much more active conflict in the aftermath of them being pushed out of power. no one is interested in seeing them back inower. being able to push an already undermined wkened government off of its power is a different prospect. what happens aer that becomes a very difficult question to predict. brent: we appreciate your time and insights tonight. thank you. after losing billions of tourism dollars, sri lanka is now open to the fully vaccinated. international visitors are returning much to

plan are school boards going to continue to set the tone for what we see happening in state and national-level politics >> i think school boards are going to be the symbol of this debate republicans believe that the reason they made a comeback in virginia is tackling these parental right issues when it comes to schools so i do think they will go full bore into that the question i have is how will democrats fight back. >> reporter: as local issues energize voters and break into the national conversation. antonia hylton, nbc news >>> across the country tonight, children 5 to 11 years old are now getting the covid vaccine. tens of millions are eligible this as the cdc said today more than 700 kids under age 18 have died from covid. with more, here's tom costello. >> reporter: just minutes after the cdc approved the pfizer children's vaccine last night, kids were rolling up their sleeves. >> i can be back to normal in my classroom. >> reporter: with doses arriving by the hour, hospitals and clinics nationwide are today in full vaccination mode at children's national hospital in d.c., eight-year-ol

. >> and on a national level, jill, and good to see you, my friend.a national level, we've heard from the chair of the january 6th committee, benny thompson, about the testimony of jeffrey clark, a name most of our viewers didn't know a year ago. he was central to the insurrection attempt. many times mr. clark's complete failure to cooperate -- he was testifying before the committee. i've considered his claims of privilege and have rejected it. we need the information that he is with holding and we are willing to take strong measures to hold him accountable to meet his obligation. this nonsense continues in front of a congressionally mandated committee charged with getting to the bottom of what happened on january 6th. people go there and number their nose at this process. >> you are absolutely right, ali, and i cannot imagine how we're letting it happen, but bannon certainly stone waled and he hasn't been held accountable yet. he was voted in contempt by congress, but he hasn't been indicted. until he is, others will continue to follow in the path. t

they are rounding up deserters but they have deserted from the national level. because they want to serve the state troops because they will be closer to home so they are deserting, they are, they're actually still serving to the confederate cause pretty you have to have this stuff out to be careful that we don't just kind of jump on some of these words. >> you find examples of organized dissent rated. >> in terms of like political parties and buildings and things like that. [inaudible]. >> the question is are we finding examples of organized dissent as far as how people coming together with the same cause and most dramatic example i can give you something like that is the case that i put up which is like a free state of jones in the mississippi delta and you can find it organized dissent is if you want to think about it in those terms, kind of a use the kansas term, bush workers and deserters organizing together to make sure nobody can come back in and for some it is service providing evidence about. other not necessarily taking arms up for the union. >> did yo

busy deliver from our nation states to the super national level of the european union. what is actually, what i actually the borders of europe? i think this is what i should even say, historic conflict between russia and, and the rest of europe. so that is actually the question which need to be clarified and this you need to be need to be done in the intellectual way. of course, the story ends and all, but also primarily politicians. and there, i think, to come down to the level of talking with each other, exchanging what is my national interest speaking as mr. pulled in, or russia. and what is the national so called national interest of europe? and i think a compromise is possible. whereas de barton's is one park, i think the real dividing line goes through ukraine. so therefore, i think to start out in bosnia and to find a solution to give in a little bit from all sides, will be a very important 1st step in elite new car confidence. ok, well just finally then, and as you say, china, the big investor that iran, a big investor there now as well. let alone russian invest

fighting corruption is something that we have in common here in hodmezovasarhely and on a national levely can you convince the hungarian people that you can take on what you call the corruption that has been evident to you over the last decade of viktor orban's rule in hungary? because he now controls, through his fidesz party, notjust the parliament, but key institutions of government, key levers of the economy, much of the media in hungary. his grip is very tight. well, except for the last four years, i've been a mid—level manager in multinational companies, both here in hungary and in north america. also, here in hungary, i also have been working for large multinational companies. so, just the practice, the experience in leadership helps me manage a small town, but also helps me make compromises, helps me deal with people, manage different groups of people. also convince voters, of course, i already have the experience here locally, during two elections, and the third was the national primaries, where i was the unexpected winner by being able to convince people that i will change the

well, at the national level, i'm not sure what that will be ready, but at the municipal level they've already started negotiation. not only this election, but in a bit of a selection, so they are ready for that. but for me, what's encouraging is the willingness of the bigger parties to accept defeat intercept that they have to enter into negotiations with one of parties. but i like to disagree with you, i should, when you said that the action essay and e f, f i showing that they're moving much more strongly the other much is i don't think so. even if it has not been given a clear mandate by anyone to run a municipality capsule considered a but a should say, because then you give them a block and have a number of votes, but i'm not quite sure whether the f f is growing and that they use a flavor it to us, you have a still remains a very strong party, but for me to pull a reservation within the blue cross space in south africa is quite encouraging. and a lot of people are kind of disgruntled by what's going on. but i think for an african country to have such a vibrant democracy in a buy

if i small minority and they started to for most a national level, think tanks like in the u. k. the center for policy studies, the adam smith institute. but they were regarded as totally fringe and they were not re listened to a toll until you get a political entrepreneur like margaret thatcher, who is interested in decisively resolving the crisis of the seventy's. and these ideas are sort of sitting around and they provide policy templates that she then implements sy, much of opportunity and enterprise, less tax, less regulation, more flexibility, more freedom. those will be all our guidelines. she says you have to dial down political institutions. you have to roll back democratic accountability, you have to open the market to they at least idea of market forces which means that you, cattail social forces. and a big part thought is absolutely discredit taking the idea of the welfare state that she was willing to go whole hog and tear up the post war consensus. basically been defeating the trade unions, which she regarded as the enemy with it. and then restoring the conditions f
