that's not how this worked for someone like ruth ginsburg. we need to honor ruth with action. channel grief into change. that's how we honor ruth, and that's how we build a real future. - thank you, senator warren. thank you. - all right, you take care now. - stay in the fight! [hopeful music] yes, channel grief into change. and, yes, things are dark right now, and ruth bader ginsburg can't save us. we have to save ourselves. but you know what? we can do that. what? acceptance? forget that, i'm not accepting shit. we need to fight like hell.

ruth 1078 in november, donald trump is 7a. ruth has asked, shouldn't we see younger faces 7a.see youngerfaces coming 7a. ruth has asked, shouldn't we see younger faces coming through? 7a. ruth has asked, shouldn't we see youngerfaces coming through? for instance, should there be an age cap on who can run for president, laura? i don't think we need an age cap, but i would like to see more people get involved. there are some really young stars get involved. there are some really young 5ta r5 over get involved. there are some really young stars over in the senate, but they are notju5t young stars over in the senate, but they are not just all on capitol hill or in washington, dc, the people ri5ing through the state legi5lator5 people ri5ing through the state legislators and executive branches of the states themselves, i think can really make positive change, really get noticed and run for national office. that is what i would like to see more young people get involved in. when you go through a really hard fought election, sometimes you think, is it worth it, who wants that job? bu

how would you answer, ruth, greg? ruth, it's a great question.hose ages combined are over 150. i don't think you will see that again in yourfuture. you're seeing a generational change. ruth, i love history, and if you look back at the great candidates, especially for democrats — they were in their 405. i always argue if the republicans can find someone with the youth, the good book, the charm, the oratory skills of barack obama but with more conservative views, like i have, but it's coming and you will see it in the next election for sure, or at least the next ten years. so, hang in there, don't embrace the 19605 philosophy — "don't tru5t anyone over 30" but i think you'll see another generation and again to the history, the greatest generation was the world war ii generation. and the presidents for 40 years were world war ii veterans — or at the very lea5t, world war ii—era leaders — and that kind of changed in the '905 when the first baby boomer wa5 elected, bill clinton. for the next 20 years, you had baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1962,

you know, i'd love to see you get involved, ruth. the more younger voices involved, ruth.e we can listen and the more those voices can be the loudest ones in the room. you've got two a septuagenarian ‘s. joe biden turned 78, donald trump is 74. shouldn't we be seeing younger faces is 74. shouldn't we be seeing youngerfaces coming is 74. shouldn't we be seeing younger faces coming through? do you think there should be an age on who can run for president? i don't think we need an age. i would just like to see more people get involved. there are some really young stars over in the senate, but they aren't all in capitol hill or in washington, dc. the votes rising up to the state legislatures and the executive branch is in the states i think can really make positive change, i really get noticed and runfor change, i really get noticed and run for national office. that's something i'd like to see more young people get involved in, and it's difficult when you go through a really ha rd when you go through a really hard election, sometimes you think is that all work at? who wa nts t

on theion for ruth corporate side of this. should companies mandate programs that incentivize employees to maintain visible health? we see people with preventable conditions.ting ruth: mandating, i don't like demanded. i do want to provide quality information. at google, we spend a lot of time on wellness, and we are looking forward to bringing people back to the office as soon as we can. a lot of the protocol around bringing people back to work is going to be what about social distancing, how you reformat your footprint so we can bring people back to the office safely, what are we going to do with masks. but i wouldn't go to mandating. i say provide quality information on a consistent basis, and hope people make the right choices. that in new york city, we just had another milestone in building out our campus, and we look forward to bringing people back in new york city as well. ian: a lot of nudging in public policy, both in the governmental sector and the corporate sector, and even in the g20. two questions here that are ba

there's a picture of the supreme court members walking down the steps of the building and ruth bader ginsburg has on longish skirt and it's so appropriate for that moment, she just had that. so now my politically incorrect compliment. they would have fought just as hard as i suspect our senators and the country as a whole are going to fight. one more thing about ruth bader ginsburg though, during the merrick garland nomination, someone -- this is in the new york times, asks her if she thought that the president should wait and not appoint in his last year before the election, or if she thought that the senators should hold off voting and her answer was, look, the president is still the president in the last year and the job of the senators is to vote. so i think it shows the kind of-- the kind of changes that people in public life sometimes undergo. madison changed all the time. you know, he was the father of the constitution, he was the man who got the bill of rights through. but after he had struggled to make the constitutional convention work, he wasn't sure that the constitution

>> good i just say a word about ruth bader ginsburg? >> sure. >> i think it is been deemed politically incorrect perhaps because i haven't heard a single person mentioned what a sense of style she had. she was not only a great justice but a great lawyer, great intellect and she also had a sense of style. she was always wearing something a little exotic and there was a picture of the supreme court numbers walking down the steps of the building and ruth bader ginsburg had on a longish skirt and it is so appropriate for that moment that she just had that. my politically incorrect compliment. they would have thought [inaudible] i suspect our senators in the country as a whole are going to find and one more thing about ruth bader ginsburg though, during the merrick garland emanation someone and this has been "the new york times" asked her if she thought that the president should wait and not appoint in his last year before the election or if she thought that the senators should hold off voting and her answer was look, the president is still

behaved with him conforms as they want to pick up on something that ruth said specifically about themabout the the republican party donald trump said back in march in reference to make trying to make voting easier and give as many people you know an easier time at the poll he said you never have a republican elected in this country again he said that out loud and reference to soon to not suppressing the vote and as i said over the course of history. people women have been disenfranchised right and it's clear that the republican party has made an effort to have as few people participate in the process as possible having said that what do you make of this almost the country convulsing and away with protests over the last few months of people trying to use their voice people who have not been able to use their voice for so long you know i mean i think this brings up 2 points so yes we have never had a dictatorship or a foreign occupation but that being said the checks and balances aren't working in the same in the breast ways that everybody thinks there is i mean that people are more bla

one more thing but ruth bader ginsburg, though. during the merrick garland nomination, someone asked her if she thought the president should wait and not appoint in his last year before the election or if she thought that the senators should hold off voting, and her answer was, look, the president is still the president in the last year, and the job of the senators is to vote. so, i think it shows the kind of changes that people in public life sometimes undergo, madison change all the time. he was the father of the constitution. he was the man who got the bill of rights through, but after he had struggled to make the constitutional convention work, he wasn't sure the constitution was any good. but within three or four weeks he was promoting it, and he promoted it on the basis that we really needed a more powerful government. in the end he changed his mind about that, too. and became worried about a very powerful central government. there's a british politician. i can't remember his name. he said once, sir, speaking to someone i don

and then on the far side here is ruth hannah mccormick of illinois. her father was marcus hannah who was the republican kingmaker in the early part of the 20th century. and constantly butted heads with william jennings brian, which is interesting because william jennings brian, his daughter ruth brian owen is on this side of the picture. we have a press account when these two ruths were sworn into the house in 1929 that they came down the center aisle together arm in arm and wowed the members in the press because here are two daughters of avowed political enemies. if we go back into the picture just to finish out, this is mary norton of new jersey. and then this woman here is another one of the interesting characters in this time period, florence kahn of california who represented a large portion of san francisco. and she's another widow who followed her husband to congress. her husband julius was the chairman of the military affairs committee and like edith norris rogers she was another woman who was very involved in her husband's political career. s

president trump nominated amy coney barrett before ruth bader ginsburg was buried.ys beforeeight the election that she was confirmed by the u.s. senate. eight months was the time period that the republican majority in the senate refused to even have a hearing on president obama's the supreme for court, judge merrick garland, saying it was too close to the election. eight days versus eight months. , onou could comment, alicia the significance of, well, now justice amy coney barrett's views on everything from reproductive rights to lgbtq issues, and beyond. >> absolutely. first and foremost, it is so good to be here with you, amy. good morning. this confirmation does have serious consequences. i think what we are saying is the supreme court is actually not a neutral body. it is incredibly political. the acceleration that you talked about president trump and senate republicans really has everything to do with the fact they are moving an agenda they have been building for more than 30 years now, but they're also concerned they won't have an opportunity after this upcomi

and ruth payne was the woman with whom oswald's wife and daughter were staying at the time. and oswald had stored some of his effects, i believe, in their garage. and so it is believed that he actually had wrapped the rifle in this blanket while it was in ruth payne's garage and it was found after the assassination. so this is probably one of the more famous bullets in existence. it is sometimes referred to as the magic bullet. i refer to it as the 399, the number assigned to it by the warren commission. it was found on a hospital stretcher. it is believed by the warren commission that this is the bullet that first hit president kennedy, exited through his neck, and actually hit governor connolly who was sitting in front of the president. after going through his body, his arm, it was lodged into his thigh, they believe, and actually fell off while he was on a stretcher. again, one thing on let people know is that we have very high quality, high resolution images of most of these artifacts. this one in particular, available on www.archives.gov through our job line public acce

perhaps ruth davidson wants that to be the case, but i'm not going to do that.d the ministerial code and quoted directly from it — sets out a process that ministers have to go through should legal advice be divulged. and just to remind the chamber and others watching, the starting point in the ministerial code is that ministers must not divulge the contents of legal advice unless certain tests are fulfilled. and we are going through a process right now of consideration of those tests. nicola sturgeon. back at westminster, at prime minister's questions, the labour leader challenged boris johnson over a report into bullying allegations against the home secretary, priti patel. the prime minister's adviser on ministerial standards, sir alex allan, resigned after the findings of his inquiry were rejected by the prime minister. the now former independent adviser on ministerial standards concluded that the home secretary's behaviour was in his words, "in breach of the ministerial code." and, he said, "can be described as bullying," which mr speaker means intimidating o

this is the blanket that was found in the house of ruth payne. ruth payne was the woman with whom oswald's wife and daughter were staying at the time, and oswald has stored some of his effects in their garage. and so, it is believed that he actually had wrapped the rifle in this blanket. it was found after the assassination. so next we're going to look at oswald's revolver. so, after the president was assassinated, there was also a police officer who was killed. and he was killed by oswald using this revolver. and the interesting thing that i think a lot of people do not know is that oswald was initially arrested for the murder of officer tippit, not for the assassination of president kennedy. it was only when he was in police custody that they put together that they were looking for someone who was missing from the texas school book depository whose name was lee harvey oswald, and we already have in -- have him in custody because they had him in custody for the killing of tippit. so, this revolver is significant for several reasons. and this is
