is an argument and we are seeing other cases following after that in san francisco and a number of placplaces. years ago in kentucky and most recently in maryland and impartial in new jersey there are lawyers working for the example in the report where they are pushing much harder and this is a brooklyn defender to get to advocate to get the judge to see that it makes more sense. >> host: there is an entire industry that feasts on people that are trapped in jail and can't get out and have to make phone calls to the people back home trying to get out to those phone calls that go through private service charges. oh dollar 50 per minute or whatever the cost might be. they are making money in addition to the probation companies and medical care that is given at the jails. >> host: it's not only for for-profit, affordable care. i talk about one of the largest for-profits. they were in the jails rendering care. >> guest: they are the mental health places of the 21st century. >> host: so we have divested from our mental health infrastructure and kind of left those people to fall into the clutc

that's why that's one of the fers plac first places impacted by this snow.y a while ago. these to the south are not chilly. west callan and rosalind at 40 and bedminister at 37. we are not talking about any kind of significant drive this ooer evening. we have to wait for snow to come through and temperatures going down. this is not going to be one of of the previous events where everything stuck immediately. at 7:00 a.m. is marginal in philadelphia so they're right in the city itself, especially center city and out philly, it will be just wet and some higher elevations, we may have some slick spot as s and we head tow wilmington. again, temperatures are marginal so when you get marginal temperatures, you need to snow to come down harder to create problems. the snow will come down harder for the lehigh valley than in other parts of the area. redding, for example, pots town at the edge of this. holland is on the edge so it will be at three. and the one to two inch zone is abington and new totown. as we head towards delaware and wilmington has more of a chance

we all started in the same plac place. we all over sonogram pictures over children and nieces and nephewor we all look at the same way. you don't have to be taught this. and to help the vulnerable. this isn't because of politics because they are babies. every one of us has experienced this looking at the sonogram pictures but we should know this love isn't just the feeling but backed up by facts. andte to deserve protection. and what is becoming clear year-by-year. and why the millennial's are more pro-life. and it is changing them year-by-year. i heard a bunch of claims that just are t not true i am not here to argue the case for how we should vote on the legislation but we all love babies that is why we should be doing this. absolutely not true. year-over-year because of the prevalence and pervasiveness and people are grappling with science and images with this intrinsic feeling that we have we can and should discuss human dignity and reaffirm intrinsic value but for now ford this conversation today we can limit ourselve

now republicans today are trying to make sure that the blame is plac placed squarely on democrats and even some republicans acknowledge this is very risky political if the shutdown goes beyond a couple of days. here is a sample going into the meeting. >> do you think the president is showing enough flexibility here in his negotiations with the democrats? >> i don't know where the president stands on this right now. i just don't know. >> would it be helpful for him to lay out where he stands? >> of course. that is always been an issue. whether it is our health care and now on this issue. he needs to be clear about what his position is. but in the meantime, the government has to be reopened. and there is a lot to blame to go around on all sides. we control the branchs so that is -- >> what is the mood like. >> the mood is not good. we didn't vote to shutdown the government. we voted to keep the government open. >> reporter: so the question is what happens next. expect republicans in the senate to push for a three-week continuing resolution to keep the government open. that also includes

[applause] of course. >> one, i was, you know, as we have entered a very complicated and anxious time during this past year, i have been in reflective state. those who know me well might say that reflective state is rare for m me, but i've been in a reflectivee state. thinking back i over my life and career, i think about all the change and uncertainties that i witnessed as a child of the great depression and world war ii. seeing the fever of the red scare, the fight for civil rights, vietnam, watergate, 9/11, and our current moment of history, and as i have been thinking about what it means to be an american, what it means to be a patriot in the second decade of the 21st century, that really was the beginning of the idea for the book was, what is patriotism in our time? and i k

so, i think that we can all plac agree that race relations are in a pretty bad place right now in america. at. we can also agree that the current administration did inherit a bad situation that dit not start with him. and even if he has not improvedl matters or r made them worse, looking at the polling out of the last administration, they were looking at things in the bad place, and probably the worst since the rodney king riots in the early 1990s. -do i wonder if any of you have any thoughts on how we got here, and then how we might turn things around. >> well, the first thing that i would say is that i think that h there iser a vast difference vt the state of urban black america, blacks who live in what were once, you know, thriving sort of urban industrial cities and this is the subject of my book which is the black s community in pittsburgh from the '20s to the late '50s and early '60s whenmall c cpi this small by comparison with harlem and chicago and so forthth produced the largest black newspaper in l america, and system of the greatest black baseball teams, a sports writer who led

they put some mechanism in plac place, the increase inch the presentation rate has gone up significantly by 80% is not where we need to be. >> 20% of these packages that are identified as suspicious are still getting through. more resources, i know that's fine, but this is a management challenge. let these packages go requires better coordination with all of you and the postal service. it requires, as you said earlier, accurate, timely information and then the presentation of those packages. let me go back to the origins of our problem which is the lack of information coming from these countries. you talked earlier about where you are in terms of working with the other countries around the world, you talk about the rapid progress and we've got e-mail traffic indicating otherwise but let me, if i could, just go along to another piece of information we were able to uncover. if you look at exhibit a, it's an e-mail from may of 2017, this is a memo to nerissa cook from gregory and if you turn to page 821 of this memo you would see an unredacted section. in that section it states that advance

is the report coming out of the government disabilities office and they have survey ed the polling plac access in 2000, and 2008 and 2016 and that has been the best benchmark has to where we are at, and this is the most recent report of 2016 is really telling, because what we have found is that the polling place, itself, that have to travel from the parking all of the way up to the voting booth has consistently improved in terms of the accessibility. the first time it was studied in 2000, only 16%, and less than 0% of the polling places were full -- less than 20% of the opolling places were accessible. and in 2008, 30% and then 2016, 40%, and that is sounding bad because less than half is acc s accessible, but the sad thing is that when we saw that, i was excited. that is telling you where our expectations were right now, because it is less than half, but at least the number is going in the right direction and i will take that win for right now. i will say that the although progress has been slow for many reasons. the least of which is lack of funding. the progress has been slow, and we
