but i will say i am constantly on meetings with rob, two north carolinians. we spent a lot of time together. fda and cdc, we had a lot of work we need to do and coordination. genie and of course monica at nih. much more interaction, make sure we are planning together. and importantly, prioritizing together. there are only some of hours in a day and our resources are all constrained. we really want to make sure we are focusing on those important threats. how are we doing the research on it, the diagnostic test event limit, and how are we thinking of mapping that to the communities of need. we all see different pieces of the puzzle, but i think working really collaboratively -- and i do want to give also shout out to don, the assistant secretary for preparedness and response, don o'connell i think has done a terrific job there. all of us, i really feel a fantastic team cohesion there in a way that maybe out of necessity i didn't have when i was in the obama administration, which we do have in the moment. and i hope to see that continue. dr. varmus: the audience

>> great to see a north carolinian. i still really like stephen. attorney general said public health epidemic, i want your perspective. given advances in technology and data collection. >> three priorities this year, improving mental health and supporting young families. we know mental health has been strained. the important part is on data collection. we use the survey data to understand why it is being strained. so there is a lot to learn. what works to combat it. important part is continuing to ask the questions. >> professor? >> im barry kohler. i want to congratulate you, attuned to the pandemic, i was surprised to learn about variability in state obligations to report to the cdc. those things seem crucial, fascinated to hear about your access to emergency room, but where do things stand? we know during the pandemic some states defined covid death differently. it seems like a self inflicted wound and i just wonder where things stand? >> we do not have any new authority. i think what we are trying to do is use our authority and work to standard

just wanted to follow up on jonathan's question, what do you think is the right question to north caroliniansouple of years are going to kind of see this and wonder why their own kind of identity as a purple state isn't being expressed in washington? is the answer here to run more democratic candidates in races? to organize? what exactly can be done? there is a republican, you no i, legislature, and it's kind of hard to overcome is my understanding. what is your message? what should democrats be doing? >> number one, we should talk about fair maps, getting rid of partisan gerrymandering, but the fact is republicans do it more than democrats. it's wrong no matter who did it. looking at north carolina specifically, you get districts that don't represent the majority will of the state. north carolina again 50/50 state. 71% of the state going to republicans because of the extreme partisan gerrymandering. the country, 10% of the seats in congress are heavily gerrymandering for democrats, and close to 40% for republicans. the other 50%, more fair districts, independent redistricting commissioning d

a lot of north carolinians in temporary housing claim having issues with the agency. >> is not we wentor come in pretty literally walk through the door took two pictures of my living room and kitchen did not see the water damage rooms. he walked in, walked out, got a notification there don't not going to help us with housing assistance and progress just days ago standards tom tells ted by the settlor to president biden urging for all federal assistance possible. a special housing of their in western north carolina. senator bud also wrote a letter to fema urging the agency to extend free hotels for all families. fema says they do not plan on adding any more extensions. arthel: madison scarpino thank you very much for the update. eric: from on the powerful one total storm sweeping across the south go to fox with a meteorologist michael is live in memphis, tennessee with the very latest on that. >> hey eric, so good to see you on the beautiful memphis, tennessee 37 degrees with sunshine big boy, this was not the case yesterday. literally some have inches of snow that fell. this is the mos

he did, however, make a lifelong friend at johns hopkins a, fellow north carolinian. we have a photo of him. thomas wilson and dixon spent a fair amount of time together that first year when they were both students at johns hopkins and they had a fair amount in common. they were both the sons ministers who had kept slaves. both were raised by parents who believed that black people, not their social equals in class. both men approved of the views expressed by their instructors. that extending the franchise beyond white men was degrading the quality of american democracy. and these instructors richard ely and herbert baxter adams were products of german education. they had been trained at leading german universities and german education at that time, not unlike other leading european universities, was very racially ized in its view of history and aryan theory. we call it theory, i think they called it science of was was prevalent. so in wilson's notes, in the books that he read in the lectures, they're all talking about the aryans being naturally superior and fit to lea

there's when i was doing my research on imprisonment i found you know multiple instances where the north carolinian militia ordered out to go and collect the slaves and they're told they're told people are going to resist and slave people are going to resist. slave holders are going to resist. if you're collecting free people of color, they're going to resist and you know, if somebody dies because you had to kill them to enforce it, that's unfortunate, but it's not illegal. right. and so there is this sense where, you know, controlling the civilian population might also include some things that we would certainly think of as atrocities. but they were against state sanctioned acts of violence or at least threats of violence. you know, i think there's a sort of realism portant conversation about both intention and objective that we need to think because as i mentioned sort of earlier in my talk, what poe proposes to do against the dakota in 1862 is really a of the orders you see to sort of right. decimate the shenandoah and that preceded sherman's march through georgia and the carolinas but because s

carolinians completely failed and ended up consuming and importing large amounts of tea in 1771 and 1772 and 72, i think about 40% of all the tea that came to north america duty british tea originally purchased in london from an auction from these india company and brought here by private merchants. 40% of that was was coming to boston and that that says that patriots had to have been quite anxious about getting people to subscribe to these political ideas they had about consuming things because obviously lots of people didn't subscribe to these ideas and they demonstrated that every day when they bought consumer goods that they weren't supposed to buy. and the arrival of this india t presented the possibility of being a final blow in pushing bostonians into more broadly accepting this arrangement. so particularly around this the tea tax which we probably all know this tax that parliament was putting on tea, it had been in place for years. there was no no real concern about establishing a precedent of the tax being in place. it had been in place for half a decade already, and bostonians had been paying it. but the the other problem the patriots h
