the only state in the united states to pass a to wishing cut this year for students. [applause] republicans had a great idea to have the tuition cut and i gladly give them credit. [applause] also gladly give democrats credit that we should cut tuition for every one including community and technical colleges.

at the state museum. critics are speaking out over a bill that would require a registry of journalists in our state. representative mike pitts filed so calleded "responsible journalism" bill yesterday. the bill would establish fines and possible criminal penalties for those who violate the law, and it would require journalists to register with the state before being eligible to work for a news outlet. criticscsay the legislation won't make it out of committee this'll never pass. he's not serious about getting it passed. he just wants to make a statement and this is the kind of legislation that gets introduced every year." representative pitts says the filing is intended to start a discussion about how certain issues are reported by the media - like guns. a senate committee today unanimously approved interim director christy hall to run the south carolina department of transportation. hall has been interim director since last year--and was praised by lawmakers for her handling of the october flooding. hall

president of the united states should give a message to congress on the state of the union and recommendations of programs that should be followed. george washington began that practice of giving a state of the union message to congress when the first congress met. washington went in person to the congress and delivered the speech that had a series of recommendations, relatively short speech. in those days they actually used to cut the state of the union message up into paragraphs and create committees to address each one of the issues the president suggested. washington and adams followed that practice. they created this idea that from time to time was an annual message. the years it was known as the annual message. it didn't become known as the state of the union message until the 1940's. in 1948 there was a hollywood movie called state of the union. that cemented the idea that it was the state of the union message. washington and adams went in person to congress. ,'s jefferson didn't enjoy public speaking. he gave to public speeches while presidents. his first and his second inaugural addre

watching governor nikki haley's state of the state address where she said the state is bent but not broken. and not the same south carolina we were a year ago. >> we're now going to get the democratic response to the state of the state address. here is senator mandy nurel. >> hello, i am mandy powers noel. of lancaster county. like governor haley, i was also born and raised in rural south carolina and educated in our public schools. we have similar backgrounds, we see things from different perspectives. governor haley describes a south carolina from the perspective of those from the top. i see it from the ground level. and from the perspective of a mother of teenagers in public school and a small business owner, i see hard working people struggling to make ends meet. senior citizens having to choose between making their mortgage payment and buying their medicines. teachers trying to make due with moderate to little funding. 25 years ago, governor haley and i were both finishing high school. she was in banberg and i was in lancaster. our roads and bridges were some our neighbors had

treaties signed by the united states and iran state that both countries will observe the principle of diplomatic immunity, a principle which protects former representatives and embassy property. all appeals to free the hostages were denied by the government of iran. the refusal constituted an unprecedented breach of the rules of normal diplomatic behavior. societies, nations have always formulated laws to maintain order, to prevent anarchy and chaos. in similar fashion nations have created international laws among them rules providing for safety of diplomatic missions abroad. diplomatic immunity is a widely accepted principle and assures safety for them even when the sending and receiving nations do not enjoy friendly relations. a violation of american law -- of international law is extremely rare. this hostage-taking with the acquiescence of the iranian government is a situation to be examined for the meaning it has for the rest of the world. from the beginning of the crisis, the united states has reacted with restraint, despite the outrage against its representatives abroad. speakin

-- united states citizens. mr. president, i thank you, and i notice the lack of a quorum, after i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. cornyn: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: mr. president, i'd ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. cornyn: mr. president, if this sounds like a case of deja vu, it's because we've been here before, and i'm talking specifically about the flow of unaccompanied minor children coming across our southwestern border, primarily through citizen-- primarilythrough my sa border with mexico. as you know, mr. president, these children are coming not from mexico but from central america, and this is something that about a year or so ago that the president and his administration called a humanitarian crisis because you had this flow of children, unaccompanied children and some with their mothers, but mostly without, who came flooding a

to match the state's actionsder but not replace the state's actions. toth unfortunately they have not matched that to believe that is significantly less than f necessary and to come to ask for resources from the federal government. in the state of michigan has primary responsibility it is clear to everybody that is why we need his help to help us with our republican colleagues in the senate to get this money. i don't want this to become a republican or democratic issue. it is about children in do public emergency with decor issue that in this great country he should have clean drinking water. to have a republican governor. >> [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> the weekend prior to the caucuses there will be a princely so many candidates on the republican side and the democratic side and each will have even less a day maybe six or seven that give you a sense of what it is like to campaign for the caucuses. vicki is organization. , for those that support you get to the caucus. it is interesting how they try to close the deal with thei

states. our cash reserve and economic reserve kmts are full. the iowa economy has created 214,000 new jobs, surpassing our 2010 goal. today's unemployment rate has been cut nearly in half down from over 6% five years ago. iowa has the lowest unemployment since 2001. iowa family incomes have grown from 18.3% in 2010. we have seen over $12 billion in private capital investment. we worked in a bipartisan session in a bipartisan fashion last session to improve iowa's road and digital infrastructure. and k through 12 education funding is now up 35% since 2010. when we look back at this progress, it's important to reflect on how we got there. how did we do it? we did it by restoring fiscal discipline. we did it by focusing on economic growth. we did it by investing in our children. but the key to igniting engine of success is truly a willingness to work together. when we work together, challenges are overcome, results are delivered and iowans have a government that works for them. when we fail to w

i think states should have rights but no state should have the right to do wrong. this is white we have the 14th a memo to regulate. these wrongs are often committed in the names of states rights. that onepressions seemed to have from the initial hearings. when the president proposed civil rights measures, it seemed that there was an uphill fight to get the bill through. , orld there be a filibuster when it comes to the vote if the bill is defeated, what sort of fight do you propose to for the attainment of equality? for that matter, do you anticipate working much more closely with the other separate negro movements? >> i think that there will be a filibuster, and we will definitely protest this. we will lobby in washington seeking to get congressmen and senators to stand up in a ferment forthright manner with a determination. we plan to have a march on washington on the 28th of august, at which time we will take a stand letting the nation and the world know that we are determined to see civil rights legislation. beyond this we will have to wait it out and see what

i think that states should have should have state the right to do wrong. 14th s why we have a amendment to regulate these wrongs that are often committed states rights. >> dr. king, the impressions one seems to have from the initial hearings on the rights t's proposed seems to be there will be an uphill fight to get the bill through. comes to the vote the ill is defeated what sort of fight do you propose to for the attainment of equality do you that matter anticipate working much more with the other separate negro movements? king: i think there will be, i'm sure, filibuster and we will protest this. we will lobby in washington congressmen, t senators, to stand up in a very forthright matter with a determination to see this bill through. we plan to have a march on the 28th of august at which time we will take a and thetting the nation world know that we are determined to see civil rights legislation legislation. beyond this, we will have wait it out and see what happens. to interrupt, dr. king, but our time has expired. hank you for being with us on press conference u.s.a. has been press

our state income tax is devoted to our state education. we see -- we feel the impacts of not being able to access the land or use some of the other practices and other policies that other states are able to use to fund something as critical as our public schools. if the environment is something that you care passionately about and i believe much of the stewardship or the idea we would stop disposing of land, i think the 76th legislation was done in regards regards in trying to improve or protect the environment. today we can show you that the state management of lands protects the environment, makes sure that those forest fires don't rage beyond innumerable acres that are damaged. on environmental concerns, you can make an absolute verifiable argument that we can better stewards of the land when the local states are able to control and manage those lands. you can show for our case, at least in utah, our education system would be turned around overnight with the ability to do what 38 states in our country have already done. why does this ma

of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of a citizen of the united states nor shall any state to pride any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. we know that second sentence includes three clauses known as the privileges or immunities clause, due process clause, and equal protection clause. john jumped in by making a strong claim so we have to unpack it. he says the privileges or immunity is clause, which was considered the heart of the original 14th amendment, which originally -- was originally intended to apply only to civil rights. do you agree and what is the implication of that today? >> i think in terms of the congressional debate, in 1866 when the congressman were thinking about the fact we had the black codes after the 13th amendment was passed, the 13th amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude. quite a bit of evi

states. we're able to grow our economy, put people to work, at the same time our carbon emissions are at a 20-year low. we think that story should be told because we think it will help reorient other thinkers about the solutions of our time which is climate. we believe we now have a case study. we actually have data that shows how you continue to support a growing economy at the same time the climate issue. we should think about how we can use it in other venues around the world. and that's why the production right here at home is so important to us, creating great jobs in pennsylvania, colorado, oklahoma, texas, ohio. at the same time we're dealing with the environmental challenges. >> jack, i'm jim at the voice of america. >> yeah, jim. >> low oil prices meaning lower investment in the energy industry. eventually that's going to mean lower production. how long do you think it will take before we see reduced production because of reduced investment? >> you can see today some of the productio

the states are going out and doing stakeholder meetings, most states are doing this. we have weeks where there is 15 stakeholder meetings going on a different states at the same time because states really want to know how to do this. nobody's sitting on the sidelines right now. if you're hearing that we are getting sued, just think to yourself, there's nothing on this. it happens every time. below that there is a level of engagement that is really positive, really attractive, and that i think indicates he wants willingness to take advantage of climate action as a way to keep costs down in a way to continue to grow our clean energy economy. let me stop there. [applause]. >> thank you very much for your comments on the clean power plan and of course your comments on the ongoing tragedy in flint, michigan. i think every marry in the room sends our thoughts to everybody in flint. now the the opportunity for mayors test questions, the best thing is we'll ask mayors to raise your hands and you can stand up and ask a question. i will take the chair's prerogative and as the f

remember, your state officials, and this is a state constitutional responsibility, the state's obligationto the needy goes beyond empty guarantees and is expected to be a social obligation. and we will honor it. we have developed a strategy and a plan, controller dinapoli will order shelters statewide. we thank him. [ applause ] controller scott stringer will review and inspect the new york city shelter system and we thank him very much. controller stringer. [ applause ] buffalo controller mark schroeder will do the same with the buffalo system. mark schroeder, where are you? [ applause ] there he is. mark is way in the back of the room because he's on his way out. he's going to start the inspections now, as a matter of fact. [ laughter ] to the extent these gentlemen need additional personnel, we will provide it from the state, buffalo and new york city because those are our two largest shelter systems. they will do on site inspections and financial protocols. there after shelters they find to be unsafe or dangerous will either immediately add local police protection or they will be clos

ratifying states to 27.ugh to put it over the top. 13 days later, ratification was officially certified and the amendment proclaimed to be part of the constitution by secretary of state when stewart -- william stewart, who had recovered from the wounds suffered the same night of lincoln's assassination. as a result of rebellion, the use of indentured servants was discredited. to some, the difference between stably -- slavery and indentured servants -- to hear modern americans call the substitution of indentured --vants the abrasive slavery was a near fatal error. it wrong turns in history can be difficult to correct. it wasn't because no one saw the danger. american quakers preach against it almost from the start. revolutionary war thinkers condemned it and try to come up workable --ey saw maybe slavery would have straightaway if the cod industry was not as important. cottonenham industry -- industry was not as important. who would care for of early slaves? who would work the farms of list -- wid uld a owles

states -- that >> it is true that states have quarrels. they have disagreements, they may go to war. but even in our process, diplomatic immunity does not break down. you can have an ambassador who could go out and commit a crime. state tells his government, please remove this man. we cannot have him here. so, you cannot say while the ambassador committed a crime, therefore immunity is no longer obtained. that is not for the receiving state to say. you have to remove this man because he is persona non grata, we do not want him anymore, but the receiving state cannot say, well, he has committed a crime and therefore immunity he would otherwise entitled to have lapsed. this cannot happen. it is against the law. >> the laws that protect diplomatic premises and personnel are from time to time breached. but when breaches occur, they usually occur because of the illegal actions of mobs of private individuals which are not sanctioned by the receiving state. where they rare case breaches of international law occur, either with the consent or the a

but even he looked to the united states. he placed great faith in president truman to help iran resist british influence and british imperialism really during the oil crisis of the 1950s. he hoped that the united states would back iran's claims to sovereignty and control of its own oil. and that worked for a while, but unfortunately as iran became more and more unstable ultimately the united states backed its ally, britain, rather than iran. >> so, mosaddeq falls, how does the shah emerge in 1953 out of this crisis? >> well, 1953 is a huge trauma for iran. after a three-year battle between britain and iran for control over iranian oil, iran is able to nationalize its oil industry. iranian oil finally belongs to the iranians. but it comes at a price. britain and the united states work together covertly to overthrow mosaddeq's government. britain because they fear the consequences of allowing mosaddeq to stay in power not just for their interests in iran but throughout their whole empire. and the united states because they fea

and state after state, even such detailed states as south dakota got rid of their venerable laws leaving behind the sole proprietorship of 17 states. that's all it was. it was 24-24 when the lovings got married. that's down from 30 to 24. it was down to 17 when the case was argued before the court. and it was 16 by the time the court ruled in loving. maryland, think about this. maryland actually repealed its law. this is a law that dated back to the 17th century. maryland had initiated the regime, maryland had put it out there if a white woman married a black man and by definition at that point, the black man was going to be a slave, at that point, in that place, she would immediately become a slave and her children would be slaves. and for a while that was enforced. for a very long time. maryland, had lived the charge. even before virginia in 1691. even before, decades before. maryland repealed it. what happened to maryland? well, there's the city of baltimore and the voting rights act of 1965. there was legislative reapportion because the court ruled on another issue of great importanc

we want the arab states to come in to fight islamic state. that's not their biggest issue. it's iran. the same thing applies with turkey. the islamic state is clearly a threat to them, and they know it. we have seen that in syria. but the kurds are a much greater threat. so we have the dilemma that the most effective on the ground force we have found in syria the is the one the turks fear the most. particularly, since the syrian-kurdish groups are andliated with of the pkk thousands died in that complex inside of turkey, both kurds and turks. this is the problem from hell at every dimension. it is an going to get better on its own. a startling revelation, i know. it's going to take sustained dialogue and engagement with all of our traditional allies in that area. we just need to be having that conversation. >> continuing on priorities, which sunni arab state views the islamic state as a greater threat than it views iran and shia aggression in the region? >> i am not totally current on this. i would say based on my last interactions -- and king abdulla was just here so you m

what is the state of our state? and just as important, what are we going to do to make it even better? six years ago our state found itself in the most severe recession since the great depression. the unemployment rate at the time was 8%. each of us had family members and friends who struggled just to get by. our economy had been weakened, but we did not give up hope. together we set a goal to not only recover from the great recession but to become the top-performing economy in america. six short years later our state economy is has added 219,000 ne jobs with an unemployment rate dropping from 8% down to 3 1/2% today. in fact, in nine of the last 12 months utah had the highest job growth creation of any state in the nation. [ applause ] our economy is now the third most diverse. income inequality is low. our wage growth is up. and just this fall the state of utah was recognized as the most fundamentally sound economy in america. [ applause ] since i stood here one year ago businesses across our state have now added

hours before the state of the union address. when the president had planned to talk about the fact that iran had gotten rid of the nuclear fuel and nuclear deal lifting the sanctions was only days away from being implemented. so behind the scenes it was a scramble. secretary kerry ran out of a meeting with top officials from the philippines to call minister zarif. explaining they had sailed into the waters by accident. after a while iranian officials called back and promised the release of the sailors promptly. but republican critics like jeb bush and marco rubio are saying this exposed his iran policy. state officials say it proves exactly the opposite. if this happened a year ago before kerry and iran negotiated the deal, hard-liners in iran would make sure the sailors did not get out at all. they say daylight is when they will get out. >> andrea mitchell, thank you. >>> and let's turn us to the event that brings us to the capitol. the president in final preparations for the state of the union. the last he will ever give. as s

that is not for the state to say. once this happens, the receiving state is told, you have to remove this man because he has violated his persona non grata. but the receiving state cannot take it upon himself and say he committed a crime and therefore immunities which he would otherwise be entitled to have passed. this cannot happen. this is against the law. the laws that present diplomatic premises and diplomatic personnel are from time to time breached. when breaches occur, they usually occur because of the of privateions individuals which are not sanctioned by the receiving state. where very rare case these breaches of international law occur either with the consent or the blessing of the receiving state, nec a serious challenge to the whole structure of international relations. and i say this because without the universally accepted principle of inviolability of diplomatic premises and the diplomatic agent, it would be impossible for countries to conduct normal relations with each other, to facilitate intercourse

>> guest: is the fourth-largest state in the union the most populous state is new york. followed by pennsylvania illinois and ohio. interestingly enough to the states have been consistent battleground states in the gilded age politics, new york and ohio. pennsylvania and illinois had tended to lean reliably republican however 1992 cleveland carries the state of illinois by three percentage points defeating benjamin harrison of indiana. >> host: so what are his ambitions as 1896 begins? >> guest: his bride from one of the founding families confides upon their return from their honeymoon in new york and washington that her husband has been defeated for the county attorneys job and wants to be president of the united states. she is thrilled by the prospect of this object is the republican party has been beaten in 1892 election. grover cleveland has come into office and mckinley has been the governor ohio and seen the country descend into a deep depression. republicans think the election of 1896 is going to be theirs and he wants to be the nominee but he's not the front-runn

and that's not going to change, it won't change tonight with one state state or with one election either. >> i'm not much for the horse race, and there are place that's deal pretty heavily in that area. but it's interesting what's happening with the democrats there in iowa. what's happening with the democrats in iowa? >> they are the framework for the horse race, and there's an election going on here. so we have to pay a lilling attention to that. what's happening here in iowa now with the democrats is fascinating. a lot of people saw bernie sanders doing well against hilliary clinton in new hampshire, and in neighboring states, of vermont. and no neighboring state has ever lost the new hampshire primary, but in iowa, you saw hilliary clinton ahead, ahead, ahead, and bernie sanders catching up a little and going back down, but today, he's within 5 points in the poll. and now he's on top of hilliary clinton. that's something that they hadn't expect to manage in this state at this time. but again, three weeks is a long time in iowa politics, and the clinton people, they are very well organ

for decades, some states barred entry to the ballot box.ntimidation, threats, burdens, poll taxes, tricky application procedures were on the benign end. the threat of sudden violence, murder was at the other end of the scale. now, 50 years later, plenty of americans are prepared to let the guarantees of the voting right acts from the one it was in 1995. randall pinkston has more. >> this act flows from a clear and simple wrong. it's only purpose is to right that wrong. when president lyndon johnson signed the 1965 voting rights abbing. he called it a monumental law. johnson pushed the bill through congress. the struggle was proseeded by another battle. this was known as bloody sunday, it outraged the nation. >> reporter: a few weeks after bloody sunday, marchers sent off again. on the front line of the marches that day is a man who organised the protest. the county voters league president. reverent reece, 85 years old was the person that invited dr martin luther king junior for the successful second march. later that year he was at the capi

the public safety bit is upgrades for state troopers or state law enforcement. that speaks to one of the strengths of a bond issue like this, that there is a little something in if t. for everybody, every geography of state. that is also a big issue with this. can you speak to what is what has been a big criticism. this seems less like a a pryoritization. chancellor at we were a few months back and he was talking about how, when the science building was originally constructed in the '70s, there were only like a dozen nursing majors. there was nobody in engineering. now, they have over 2,000 students enrolled in nursing and health related programs and one of their missions as a regional university is to try and provide badly needed health personnel into the lower income regions. that is western north carolina. and so critics may say well, that is not needed. but certainly in the context of the school and the particular constituency they are is badly needed. and so i think each of the projects across the state has value to that particular institution and the peopl

of the states. the g.a.o.'s findings are plain and simple, the e.p.a. broke the law. by using social media tactics, the g.a.o. called covert propaganda and grassroots lobbying, the e.p.a. undermineded the integrity of the rulemaking process and violated the trust of the american people. the agency did not do things right. in fact, they did things very, very wrong, and now we have a rule on the books that is reflective of a completely flawed process. the waters of the united states le today goes far beyond defining the clean waters act program. it vastly expands federal power. the clarity in this rule provided is simple. everything is federal. the rule misconstrues and manipulates the supreme court cases, effectively turning those cases that places jurisdiction to justification for agencies to expand their assertion of federal authority er all waters and what areas nationally. they chose to right many rules vaguely in order to give federal regulators substantial discretion to claim federal discretion

the second thing is at we already have gamabling in the state. we really ought to have some form of regulating it better. and the third thing in my view, and i think we were talking about this at the break, the amount of band width and energy that gets spent on gaming in tallahassee to me is outside. and why, because of all the contributions and money spinning around. and unfortunately, there is a a lot of time dealing with the intricacies of gaming and who et goes black jack and who et goes that. when there is a lot of pressing issues we should be spending our money on. but we aren't, frankly, because there is a lot of money spinning around and that's unfortunate. there is an army of lobbyists. >> when i look into sort of the deal and just to give you some of the highlights are you quite familiar with this but the simnole tribe would get an average of 3,000 slot machines at each of itself enfacilities and could put up to 6,000 slot machines at one. and also will able to add craps andrew let. we're talking about full-fledged las vegas style gambl
