america samoa is lovely, by the way. excellent job in the last block announcing when the shoe is on the other foot everybody does what is right for their party and we have a giant washington, d.c., full of hip crosses which is absolutely the case -- hypocrites which is absolutely the case. do you think the republicans would try this if they got frustrated? can you imagine them saying we will expand justices and why or why not? >> marie: absolutely! i think mitch mcconnell made perfectly clear that his overriding priority as senate majority leader is judges. that is why he refused to undertake the constitutional duty in 2016 paus because he co. i think is a broader conversation, melissa, about the representative government in the country. i'm glad that joe biden didn't go down the rabbit hole. he said it's a legitimate question and it is. we are at a place today where a lot of people in the center on the left, actually across the political spectrum, feel like we are living in a sort of tyranny of minority. a number of peo

why is america samoa left out o the whole statehood discussion. the u.s. virgin islands, they should become a state. can get the democrats for a lon time have counted on the republicans to be the party of the nice guys. the democrats basically assume that we will never do to them what they do to us. they could knock down our monuments and we will never knocked on their monuments. they can stack the court, we want stack record. i think the answer to this is w have to learn to call them on their bluff, if they want to pu forward a court stacking plan and we win the house next time, maybe we should adopt their pla and in the spirit of bipartisanship, stacked the court ourselves for it. >> it's not just the far left figures, it is global celebrity former democrat president at th john lewis funeral who made an outrageous projection and desir unknown to all. >> if all this takes illuminating the filibuster, another jim crow relic, in orde to secure them that is what we should do. >> he has a whole lilt to his voice. >> he always has to go back to racial angle wh

. >> we've got another projection right now, michael bloomberg will win american samoa. >> that's right to tell you, one of my favorite details is that the bloomberg campaign had seven full-time staffers in american samoa. >> michael bloomberg himself and his advisers have said that they are not going to entertain even the idea that their first election night could be their last election night. >> show us what's going on in texas. >> look at this, wow, bernie sanders and joe biden right now they are tied. i don't think anyone was expecting it to be this close in texas. >> correct. >> even if it doesn't change, biden won texas. >> correct, exactly. >> by coming this close. >> this is the story of the night. he was dead. >> yeah. a week ago. >> he won in five states he didn't even go to. >> if joe biden wins massachusetts. >> this is probably one of the most historic comebacks that i've ever covered. >> and here you have him defeating elizabeth warren in her home state. >> the fact that the senior senator from massachusetts cannot be declared the victor, that is a bad sign for elizabeth w

maybe even samoa statehood.y will have a majority in the senate in perpetuity, stacking the courts, ending the legislative filibuster. eliminating the electoral college. can impeach the president for any reason any day. might as well impeach the attorney general. it's like the lawlessness has now taken over. i've been saying that this is the most extreme major party ticket in history the country. i don't think i'm overstating the case. do you really believe they will try to do these things because i do. i am listening to what they are saying.ev >> sean, you're not overstating it. i find it ironic that democrats are threatening to retaliate against republicans if we exercise our constitutional duties. democrats are threatening rioting in the streets. rioting in the streets for four months. they are threatening to pack the courts or make washington, d.c., a state. they were promising to do that five days ago before the sad news of justice ginsburg's passing. democrats have been saying that they are going to do thi

would you listen to someone who spent $500 million on a presidential campaign, winning only american samoato appear human. >> donald says we should vote for him because the economy was great before the virus. huh? ( evie laughing ) >> stephen: ( laughs ) bloomberg sounds like he's acting in a local appliance store commercial-- the other guys charge you extra for the washer/ dryer removal. to that i say, huh? ( evie laughing ) call now! then, it was time to hear from the candidate himself in an auto biographical video. he told an endearing story about his mom standing up for him. >> when his teacher mimicked him and joe ran home from school, his mother drove back. >> my mother stood up, all 5'2" of her, "if you ever talk to my son like that again, i'll come back and rip that dammed bonnet off your head." >> stephen: wow! rip the bonnet off her head! the corn does not fall far from the pop! ( evie laughing ) joe, why have you been hiding that story? you have to put it on a yard sign! biden 2020, my mom threatened to beat up a nun!

they are talking about adding the district of columbia and puerto rico and maybe samoa as well.are 43 days away from the election. the election is already being litigate you had. and if ultimately we have to turn to the supreme court and, brian, to your points, where it's just 8 people on the supreme court, that could be a tie. there are a lot of republicans who say that this is a very -- this is essentially a tipping point in america, where if we don't have an odd number that could break a tie, it could really be a mess on november 4th. ainsley: it's going to be interesting to see how people, when you know, if this is going to influence their vote. this is very important to conservatives. they wanted -- many people went to the polls and voted for president trump, especially people who are, you know, church goers and the abortion laws really are important to them. so this is going to be a big deal. steve: on both sides. ainsley: absolutely, absolutely. john barrasso the g.o.p. senate conference chairman he analyzed what that means to the new democratic party seeing aoc together

. >> american samoa thomas e. dooley, jr. told us tonight, his father turned the page and moved on. he goes on to still play a role in party politics. what is it? what is the influence? >> imagine being an older statesmen and 1946. -- in 46. that is something. he remains governor of new york for another six years. he wanted to retire. he wanted to get on that business of creating a great law firm. but the great work came along and the party had no one else. he was nominated, he ran again. he was reelected. he was very glad to leave at four years later. in between you have an extraordinary show of political strength. i don't think anybody would have predicted where he and his organization -- his national organization at really puts dwight eisenhower over the top, write a platform to the liking of the moderates in the republican party. he brings richard nixon on to the national scene at the age of 39. i would have thought your dad saw some of his younger self in young richard nixon. they had some temperamental similarities. >> they did. i think it is easy to say that geography had a l

>> american samoa speech at the 1948 convention changed history.f you think about social movement in the 20th century, it is the civil-rights movement. hubert humphrey was at the top of that order in terms of people who held elective office to put themselves out as advocates on the right side of history. he was well ahead of the curve in terms of pushing the democratic party, pushing politics in the direction of the passage of the civil-rights act and so much we have seen in this country when it comes to race relations -- race relations. when you think about barack obama as president today, that does not happen without some of the changes that come from the democratic party. here is hubert humphrey. he is the last selection by the party bosses and machines. in the aftermath of hubert humphrey's defeat in 1968, suddenly you have an allocation of delegates based on primaries and process. that part of the hubert humphrey's legacy. then there are the social programs. we think about the end of the new deal. you have a whole new range of efforts on the s

brian: he didn't say make america samoa a state. >> in 2020 he moved the goal post again.n the senate. so they are going to get this seat, i think, whether they impeach or do whatever the case might be. but there has got to be retaliation because of this great hypocrisy and they have got to set forth their agenda. but it's going to happen. and the g.o.p., if they were in the same position as we are right now, the democrats, they would do the same thing. brian: and so would the democrats, i imagine, too. but, erin, my last thought is do you see it benefiting republicans more to do this before november 3rd or after being that even scott and with mitt romney aboard especially, even though vogt is going to happen many. what's better for republicans? >> what's better for the american people, honestly is that the president and the senate fulfill their constitutional duty. at this point it's not unheard of to move a nominee within 30 days. within 40 days. so it's completely possible. >> it is under mitch mccoming. >> scott, let me finish. democrats are going to try to bully and p

i think he got one in american samoa.ith hundreds of millions of dollars of hit ads in to our state. $108$100 million in the state. we are ahead in the polls so it's not working out for him either. he comes in trying to pay $20 million to pay fines for the convicted felons so they could vote. you know what? the republican registrations are up higher than they have ever been. we are closer than we have ever been. he needs to spend this money back in his state. people aren't leaving new york. they're fleeing new york. he needs to get over this obsession with my state and focus on helping his state. it's not working for him. >> trace: is there a concern if you give a large amount of the felons a right to vote in felon, if you pay their fine, they would all vote? there is a lot of data out there that says a lot of them would vote democrat. are you concerned about that? >> well, right now again, the voter registration rolls are better than they have ever been for the republicans. the new voter registration. so, you know, it's

sablan, anti-gentlelady from american samoa, mrs. radewagen, for their leadership on this issue. the legislation's long overdue and i'm happy to support the bill. i urge my colleagues to support the bill as well. we yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. the gentlelady from new york is recognized. ms. velazquez: thank you, mr. speaker. i just urge support of this bill. it corrects an inequity. i am so proud that under my leadership and the ranking member that we are providing access to all the programs under the small business administration for the small businesses in the northern marianas island. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from new york yields back. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 6021. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 of those voting having responded in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed, and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new

the grants are definitely —— by a samoa set.t in anyway, perhaps focusing more on takeaway is, for example? has that helped? that is a good idea, but what happens with ta keaway good idea, but what happens with takeaway is you have to tie up yourself with the delivery companies and you have to give them a big chunk of your income. you lose out 33% of that. you can't survive on that forever. you lose out on the alcohol aspect, which gives you more profit, which is nonexistent in the takeaway. you can survive on your day—to—day trade, but in the long run, it doesn't seem to help you a lot. 0k, we have got to leave it there. good look challenging times ahead. thank you very much. france has changed its rules on coronavirus cases in schools to try to keep more of them open. from today, classes in nurseries and primary schools will only be cancelled if three or more children test positive for covid—19. it is the latest in a slew of measures seen throughout the continent as countries attempt to reign in the spread of the infection. ou
