the maryland state house is truly representative of maryland's state history. from the founding of its first settlement all the way through the passage of current legislation that took place during the 2013 legislative session. it's a remarkable structure, and we are all very aware that we are the oldest state house. it is something we take pride in. it's something that we continue to work to make sure that both marylanders and people in the entire nation know the significance of this building. >>> welcome to the new york state capital. here atop the state street hill in albany, this amazing building served for the government since the mid-19th century. the capital took 32 years to build starting in 1867 and it was deemed completed in 1899 by governor theodore roosevelt. consti

attack on states, state sovereignty in that respect. now with north carolina what you're saying is we think about what a rule of reason looks like, we would be back, and you can say whether it's good or bad. the argument whether -- my faculty says lochner was, there's nothing wrong with lochner. so what we would have without a rule of reasoning inquiry with a federal court review weighing a states, a state legislatures decision to say we think the injury should be exit we think health and safety reason should be, as of this i think it does raise a host of federalism issues and how we would deal with the underlying the state action is one thing but once we get past that we can have an antitrust case. how do we deal with that and still respect federalism is a big question. >> just to go back to the fundamental state action doctrine or if the state has clearly articulated that tooth whitening is the practice of dentistry, right, and the board just promulgates that, that meets the state action, they satisfied that, right? because one of the

states, no states or group of states has the right to intervene in the internal or external affairs of any other state. not intervention -- nonintervention. article 24s later, presents the idea of collective defense. an act of aggression against any american state will be regarded as an act of aggression against all the other american states. the classification of these two principles, nonintervention and collective defense, together with the election by treaty of the organization of american states, are probably the central achievements of the inter-american project. but the latin american states have made very clear they wanted from the united states, a marshall plan for america. what did the united states to the young telling the latin americans that foreign investment would have to build their economy? truman did one more thing. probably the last important act that shows his personal leadership in latin american policy. address, january, 1949. there he is. truman announced a new foreign aid program. this grew out of the state department experience with foreign aid in latin america.

your state is no longer a state. it is now a colony in a federal kingdom and we are not a republic but a kingdom itself. >> host: krisan hall, let's say something is watching this today and goes to your web site and wants to invite you to speak to a group. school group, civic group, whatever. when is the first available date? >> guest: oh, i don't know. you'll have to talk to -- i encourage them to actually fill out the speaking request form because janet -- >> host: wouldn't be tomorrow or next month. >> guest: no. no. probably be 2018. we're coming towards the end of the year, and remember, in november, our haiti mission begins. so november and december and the first part of january we are in country in haiti. so you don't have to rush and put something together. we, work in 2018 and build it up and get a good crowd or get what we need to satisfy the school district to be in there, or i have a class that i teach that is specifically geared towards law enforcement. a three-hour course on the constitution. this is ac

states overthrew them after 911. saudi arabia were those. i don't want to engage in saudi bashing. i'm talking about the united states accusing iran of supporting terrorism while its own allies have been on the record. now they are exposing each other about who was first in supporting isis and other terrorist organizations. >> rose: let's make sure i have time to raise questions of america. do you believe that saudi arabia supports al-qaeda. do you believe saudi arabia s upports, take one, supports which has new names now. do you believe saudi arabia supports isis? >> i believe that a lot of saudi money -- >> rose: not by the government. >> in fact some of them are in c harge oaf saudi intelligent services we know al-qaeda when they engaged the soviets was a child of saudi intelligence services. taliban will recognize, the taliban government which was sponsored al-qaeda was only recognized by three states. two of them were united states and even ruts. >> rose: the other was pakistan you said. >> that's a neighbor. i

so this was a conflict between the big states and the small states and the slave states and the free states, and they were at an impasse. how should slaves be count for purposes of representation? what saved the convention, although allowed slavery to continue until it was finally eradicated after the 13th amendment passed after the civil war, was something known as the three-fifths compromise. the three-fifths compromise was originally proposed by james wilson of pennsylvania, who we talked about as the great architect of popular sovereignty, and it was seconded by charles pinckney of south carolina. i am standing here with the south carolina delegation, inclu including pinckney and also john rutledge, and finally charles cosowich. pinckney seconded the compromise, believed it was a way of reconciling the maintenance of slavery with the political concerns of the northern states. here is what the three-fifths clause, i can say famous lus or infamously says. i'm reading from my riveting constitution, which if you go to our website we should have it. it has this essay by me and david r

to put that on the state seal in 1849, not having been a state yet, they were -- that was it. they had decided, we were either going to be a state or an in dependent repuck liblic and tha she is up there. and we are in one of our historic rooms, the first floor was turned into basically a first floor museum. showing people what government was like, the office culture of the turn of the srncentury. so we are in the governor's main office during the 1906 san francisco earthquake names georgia party. they used these office complexes until 1950 until the east wing, the an ex opened up and the governor's office moved down there. you were seeing a lot of things reflected in the onulence of the period. the heavy curtains, the woodworking on the walls to represent tooled leather, but this was a working functional office so it must have been amazingly busy during the time of the earthquake when the governor went to oakland, the two exec secretaries to take everything and the donations came right to the governor and the best communication you had was physically being there, a telephone

, state attorney general. let's listen to their arguments in this case. >> there's nothing in the constitution of the united states of america that -- and nothing in the constitution of the state of tennessee that says they remain agricultural and there's nothing that says it takes 20 city residents to equal one farmer. >> is it worse for the legislature of tennessee not to reapportion? or is it worse for the federal district courts to violate the age old doctrine of separation of powers? >> there you hear the arguments. the court has no jurisdiction over this versus the changing population. we have a map that was used to make the argument. i want to show it to the audience at home so they can really see what was happening with the legislative districts in tennessee and how 2/3 geographically of the state versus the concentration of power was presented to the court and how the population had really shifted and the power shifting along with it. so how were documents used in this case? >> well, that's an interes

and the north wing which has the state library and former secretary of state's office and finally theome. that did take 37 years at a cost of $3.2 million. it was quite a bit of money at that time, they spread it out over the 37 years, we are one of the few capitals that all the money was raised before they built. so there was no debt associated with actually building the capitol itself. when kansas was about to enter the union, there were equal numbers of free states and slave states. kansas was going to break the tie. i believe that's where the state motto kind of comes from, our state motto stands for to the stars through difficulty. just kind of talking about how kansas ans are tough, they can get through anything, and no matter what happens, they're going to make it through. >> we are currently on the second floor of the kansas state capitol, this floor has the most famous mural on it, in our capital, the tragic prelude, that was painted by jon stewart curry, in the late 1930s, when jon stewart curry was painting the tragic prelude, he was commissioned to paint the story of kansa

help our state employees. and we really need this budget now and as soon as possible. >> and i'm here to just make a statement about what we need from our leaders in washington, d.c. what we're looking at in ohio, we need to take care of our infrastructure. that's a primary issue that's facing not only ohio but all across the united states. and we need washington to focus in on infrastructure. our roads are crumbling and we need trump and our legislators to start focusing on that issue. >> "voices from the road" on c-span. >>> welcome to the maine state house. the state house was built in 1829 and it was designed by charles bullfinch. a very famous architect. in fact, he's reputed to be the country's first architect. bullfinch designed our building at the same time that he was actually rebuilding the nation's capitol building in washington, d.c. as he was undertaking the rebuilding of the capitol after it was substantially destroyed by the british during the war of 1812, he was designing our building. when mai

states and terrorist groups." talk about that. mr. genser: over the years i have been involved in a number of cases. the most high profile case i am working on have to do with american hostages. it is a son and a father, they are you ronnie americans -- irani americans. conditions,terrible 20 year veteran of unicef and he went back to iran with his wife to retire. them.e son was visiting he got detained at the airport, question for a number of months and arrested in october of 2015. obamaresident instructed to release hostages, they were left behind. secretary kerry -- the foreign minister of the ron, that he be released in a few weeks, but rather than releasing them, the father was arrested. both of them have 10 year sentences in prison for allegedly collaborating with the enemy, the united states. neither of them have done anything wrong of any kind. contain,arbitrarily both in terrible conditions. these are people held hostage by iran as leverage for the united states government. host: we are talking to jared g

what is the united states? the united states is a republic. a republic. an island of republican practice in a sea of monarchies and dictatorships. what kind of an example do we think we're setting as a republic if we tolerate slavery? in fact, encourage its growth? what are we saying about the very idea most precious to all of us and that is the idea of republican government in which all men are created equal and in which the people are sovereign? doesn't that suggest that republicanism is a fraud? how can you talk about sovereignty of the people and then take a big chunk of the people and then say they can never participate? why do they do that? doesn't that make republicanism laughable? i mean, least the monarchs are consistent. give them credit. you know? the king of barateria says, i am the king, you do what i say, you jump when i say, and ask how high on the way up. there's no attempt by a king to put a sugarcoating around monarchy. but here we are as a republic, we're supposed to be enunciating this enlightenment principle of the sovereignty of the

state wins. the deck is stacked against. i like that notion of intermediate scrutiny type analysis with the state actually can't just say women's march, we win. exaggeration collude bit but it's not too much of an exaggeration. actually happened t may be justified these. that's just me as kind of an economist thinking that some of these laws are bad but i understand the federalism, certainly understand the federalism point. the only thing i would say is kind of beyond just the substance of this is it is amazing to think, i think when i left this place you went over to the ftc us are working in the office of policy planning and work a lot on state restricting competition to thank you we fast-forward many years, but here we'v we got a democratic ad administration, influential report that's fairly critical period last year. not this year. i know that there's not a democratic administration. i see a few hands. last year there's a democratic and administration releasing a fairly influential report on

on the state level, following up on the commissioners points, state legislators have come to the table and enacted some very responsible antifraud initiati initiative. today, all states but to have enacted a specific fraud statutes to define insurance fraud and accept penalties. thirty-eight states have established anti- fraud units and that investigative process insurance fraud and many of them have police powers and some of them have prosecutors within their departments that specifically only do insurance fraud and that is done a lot to help over the last few years. there's a high level of collaboration between these state agencies and insurance companies inviting fraud and that is in parts because most states do require insurance companies to report fraud and to sponsor active anti- fraud programs within the companies. however, after 20 years of increasing efforts to combat fraud we are convinced that we will never arrest or convict our way out of this problem. more focus has to be on prevention and deterrence of insurance fraud. public outreach programs, again like the commissioner

a donor state thomas one of the largest donor states around. in the south they are recipient states. the states in the midwest, the same thing so it's ironic the poorest states get the least -- the most from the federal government. i will say having somebody like nancy pelosi as speaker and minority leader has been helpful to this day. two senators for the longest time dianne feinstein and until recently barbara boxer had great seniority in those matters. we have 53 members of the house the largest delegation by far although rarely do they actually vote together. they can and when they do their voting counts for a lot. and we have got the brains here. that's not to say there aren't rains trained other places but there's such a concentration of talent here. such a concentration of so many smart people who do so many things. innovation is one of those things that happens all the time and no it doesn't always work. it does what it does. changes everything. there are wacky things all over the place. i saw this sign on a white wall, fail first and a

and of the several states to each other and to the citizens of the states and of the united states have been before this court here in the official life of any of its present members. so he's essentially starting out by saying this is the single most important case any of us have heard, any of us have decided. >> marry an is watching in corporation christy, texas. hi. >> caller: how are you doing? >> 80. your question for you. >> caller: my question is directed to professor ross. who is attributed to the well educated african kree ollie community and also to the education of oscar dunn and pinch back? >> what had happened in new orleans is there weren't -- there were a few public schools in new orleans before the civil war, but the afro kree oels didn't go there. they were educated by catholic private schools. some even sent their children to schools in the north and in paris. but it was all done from a frank oh phone perspective. and i just wanted to get one other point in to the caller two times ago that in omaha perhaps things get solved overtime because it's an efficient place. in n

well the united states have to go back to why the united states wants to be in asia at all ok why does the united states intervene ten thousand miles from a chore and to answer that question you have to go back to the open door policy sounds boring but the bedrock foreign policy of the united states is the open door policy and when china closed the door after world war two initially the united states wanted to set up a client regime in china but that failed the communists took over and closed the open door and so the united states decided that career would be its first bastin against the encroachment of china and the closing of asia to american economic penetration ok but i mean let's talk about this the in this new killer thread i mean why don't they want to talk about that that's very important and that's pressing right now can you answer that boris go ahead home well you know the the real the real threat for the united states from the beginning was always china and you know we talk about one hundred sixty thousand troops stationed across the. western pacific but there are also nucle

state after state, even such deep south states as south dakota, got rid of their venerable laws. leaving behind the solitary proprietorship 17 states, that's all there were. now it was 24-24 when the lonnings got married. that's down from 30 to 24. it was down to 17 when the case was argued before the court. 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 what i call the regime. maryland had put out there if a white woman marys a black man been a definition that the point, the black man was going to be a slave at that point in that place. smeal immediately become a slave and her children will be slaves. that law was enforced for a very long time. maryland that had led the charge even before virginia in 1691, decades before, maryland repealed it. what had happened to maryland? well, there is a city of baltimore. there was the voting rights act of 1965. there was legislative reapportionment because the court had ruled on another issue of great i

most states to the south, they are recipient states. many states in the midwest, same thing. so ironically, the poorest states are the ones that just the most of the federal government. >> it's been an off-and-on relationship, i will say having somebody like nancy pelosi as speaker, even as minority leader has been a help to this state. our two senators for the longest time, diane feinstein until recently barbara boxer had great seniority. that matters, it does. we had 63 members of the house, the largest delegation by far although rarely do they work together in a unified way but i can and when they do, they're both account for a lot. >> you add up all those things and we've got the brains here >> that's not to say that there are brains other places but there is such a concentration of talent here . it's such a concentration. of so many more people who do so many things, innovation is just as one of the things that happens all the time. and no, it doesn't always work . but it does what it does. >> endangers everything and if you go to facebook, that company, their lacking th

the deep state. and the media are very very powerful and they can put a lot of pressure on the president so they ganged up on him and i thought he had sort of a mediocre position on this i was strongly opposed to it and i volunteered my advice which was totally ignored but he went ahead and signed it i think it was more like a political thing but i don't think in the long run this benefits he i don't think it benefits america it certainly doesn't benefit you know peace in the world between europe and russia so i think it's a terrible thing to have happen but there are some those who qualify to be participants in the deep state they are determined they are determined almost obsessed with making sure that there is no friendship between the united states and russia between putin and trump i think that is tragic you know even when russian the soviet union existed we actually were quite willing you know when necessary to talk and work out some problem but now we're moving in the other direction. another c

talked about the training and state coordinators train within the state. if this training is provided training verys within the state? >> so we do an annual conference -- it is actually next month. retrain -- we train and advise the state coordinators on the policy and in the state coordinators are responsible to train their coordinators. some states do that better than others. to augment that, we have developed online training to assist. we offer over the phone or skype training. we also have job aids which are checklists to help them do the step-by-step. we go to every state to review their program. we inventory their property. we provide training as required , as requested while we happened to be there visiting. congresswoman hartzler: well online training replace training? is it either/or? is it just supplement? >> it is to supplement. >> we are also going to take when we conduct the fraud risk assessment. we noted the numbers that asked for more training. we are going to make that part of what we look at. we will go to the furthest --ent that dod capa

all of the first states, the first six were located here in the west. washington became a pivotal step making a leap into the 20th century. after we passed this in 1910 there was a domino affect across the country. immediately, oregon passed it. then california than that moved to the dakotas and montana and nebraska. to new yorkd across in 1919 and the national amendment passes. you could call us a big turning point in the effort to gain suffrage for women and the united states. the big event that began the suffrage movement did happen in new york. conventione women's led by susan b anthony on among other leaders. interestingly enough right after that she began a world wind -- a to advocate for women's rights periods went of the early leaders in the 20th century and washington state saw her in 1848 as a eight-year-old. barnstorming through illinois and that is emma smith defoe who suffrage leader of the movement through tacoma. she saw susan b anthony and central illinois when she was eight years old. susan b anthony asked who in the audience believe wo

we've never seen a united states senate special election in august in the state of alabama.n tuesday will be turnout. quite frankly, i like the position we're in, as long as we're within the margin of air error, luther strange and myself, we believe we're going to motivate. we don't want the swamp's candidate to win in this election. we don't like the idea of what's happening in washington, d.c. where special interest groups and lobbyists are spending millions of dollars on behalf of mitch mcconnell to purchase this election. we're somewhat of an independent group and we want to determine who our next united states senator will be on one hand. and on the other hand, we listen to what mitch mcconnell is doing for the state of kentucky and think, doesn't kentucky already have two senators? do they really need a third one? we need a second alabama senator. i'm hopeful that the people of alabama will make a good decision on tuesday and elect a principle conservative, a person who has a spotless ethics record. and if so, i'm their guy. congressman mo brooks from the tennessee val

it should be the united states. you can talk to north korea and say we not going to these negotiations -- in washingtonency and in think tanks to negotiate north korea policy side. they will have a list of demands for us and we have to decide if we are ready to meet. i thought it was curious they did not have that either especially after trump-pence that i would be willing to meet with the leader of north korea face to face. everyone thought that was a bit over-the-top. curious they do not take advantage of a low-level meeting. i think congress can play a useful role and is playing a greater role in foreign policy. it is particularly a good comment by john mccain, a hawk and well-established. basically said the president should not have said what he said. the president basically implied we will use nuclear weapons and threaten a country with nuclear weapons here we have not heard that in a long time if ever we have heard it before. behink john f. kennedy may with the cuban missile crisis, but that is ill advised, to

army, the california state militia and the oregon state militia for months. just handful of them. when they finally surrender, the process is still not over. the united states army hangs and decapitates the four surrendered leaders before shipping their severed heads to u.s. mayor war college in washington, dc to the medical museum there so the process comes to a conclusion in terms of that being the last major campaign against california indians but it doesn't mean that the genocide absolutely stops there. >> host: benjamin madley, an associate professor of history at ucla and the author of this book "an american genocide: the u.s. and the california indian catastrophe 1846-1873". thank you for joining us on booktv. >> guest: thank you very much. keep watching for more television for serious readers. [inaudible discussion]

right above that, kind of a purple area, that's our state tree. our state bird. and by his other hand, an astronaut. there have been more astronauts going into space from oklahoma than any other state in the union. we're coming into the senate chamber. oklahoma's legislature meets the first monday of february. it has to be finished by the last friday of may. so they are in session four months out of the year. we have 48 state senators elected for four years. the lieutenant governor is the president of the senate but not active in that role probably in 70 years now. so the president protem really is the leader. from 1907 to 2006, the democrats had the majority so the pro tem was a democrat. 2006, we had a tie. they elected a democrat and a republican and alternated days as to who was conducting the business of the senate. i thought if lieutenant governor was ever going to be involved, that would be it. it turned out the first year of that session there were no tie votes at all. in the second year, there were only four. so they really made that situation work. the

the united states says, oh, threat. it's a threat if this new government is going to sort of align with the soviet union then that's a problem that needs to be rectified when they assassinated him, so i don't really need to know for you to see that kind of conflict into which these african american ambassadors were stepping as kind of the face of the united states in africa, kind of putting the best foot forward even while the united states foreign policy was doing something praps a little bit less than savory talking about ñ the cold war context. you cannot think about these traveling throughout the world let alone africa without situating that firmly within the cold war. there is other -- context too. there is no surprise that you have african american musicians in africa trying to best face ton united states. there is also context of vietnam which is going rather badly for the united states. the mood has soured about u.s. foreign policy generally. it put some of these on rather awkward position to feel like they are

of our state. if something goes wrong, we want the insurance companies to be accountable to us and that's with been since 1945. that's another concern, when something goes wrong you have to have somebody you can go too. if you live in delaware you can't go to wyoming and say please help me out, my insurance company isn't paying my claim. >> it's no secret that large insurance companies do operate across state lines. they just have separate entities that reflect the conditions of market conditions and the utilization in those local and state markets. they are effectively already there might be some of the bigger insurance companies. sabrina is correct. republicans would have to get the authority to change the insurance market rules, and they haven't been able to do that. >> larry from richmond virginia is calling in. >> i was just listening to what the other caller was saying. what i didn't hear when they spoke about the republicans is they say we couldn't even apply for the aca in virginia. we had

to work states state to be at the table. the states as a group, have they addressed this potential 30% cut to the budget? >> we are to understand what the impacts of that might need. >> can you follow up? i'm interested to know what the impacts of the states will be. >> having worked with the epa 30% cut in one year is huge. that is going to hurt the program regardless of how one feels about it. it is hard to absorb huge cut's quickly. the same dollars that fund cleanups, whether remedial. forgetting this program, a 30% lotis going to shut down a in the program. the superfund appropriations have different pockets. is the money that goes out of the area. we know the remedial program budget has declined in real dollars. you are basically going in and addressing current risk may mediate risk. it's hard to imagine you can do long-term cleanups with that kind of a draconian cut. the second point, it would be good to know how much money they need. say i don't understand it, but ever since the report they have stopped estimating li

while most of the german states are simply called the states all right lol you're right learn a lot mate the theory of good speech three states very it makes absolutely no difference but it's a name it's a little different over the last couple of years but various political focus has shifted because of the ongoing refugee crisis hundreds of thousands of migrants crossed into germany through the state leading to politicians here to challenge chancellor merkel's open door policies it's called tour highest for a limb in our culture everyone needs to learn german it's vital to ending a living and maintaining law and order and it should be our own law and order not that of the arab world but i think a little bit close ally is a very the first such you already against explicit the fact there's only one party with an independent variable in their manifesto the find part time and we are ruled by balloon we are ruled from berlin or brussels on the other hand and these people decide a will of the people of the area we have no influence the so called in the european parliament we have only thirteen

they are defending the united states in the world from islamic state, but iraq is the theatre for thisl and work more clearly with the moral as well as the other obligations. talking about the moral obligations, have you met donald trump? not yet. you said not long ago, there is a vacuum in the overall leadership in the world. really pointing a finger at the americans. gas. you said the americans need to get back to their role as the international power. yes. i agree with this statement —— yes. i agree with this statement —— yes. not using the military. but to exercise their political role as well as the military role. there is a vacuum in the leadership. in world leadership. there is nothing. in the end, you can't blame anybody else for the state of iraq today. you and your generation... ijust for the state of iraq today. you and your generation... i just want to develop the sport. we have spoken several times and it seems your generation of iraq, the post— saddam generation of iraq, the post— saddam generation of iraq, the post— saddam generation of iraqi leaders, have failed to deli

secretary of state there was a senate committee that the united states' policy is essentially to overthrow the government it's important i think to see that this is not a threat for the future but it's almost a statement aboard the president's the good the united states has over the course even know of the past few years of them did to destabilize the government in iran including of course perhaps having a hand in the assassination well for iranian nuclear scientists between then and do indeed. as part of their effort to ramp up tensions with iran the administration has consistently threatened to pull out of the joint comprehensive action plan concerning the iran nuclear deal one of the main accomplishments of the obama administration do you take that risk seriously and where might u.s. around relations go from there. well you know honestly on the air it's very hard to be completely rational when analyzing the strumpet ministrations foreign policy you know one minute he's threatening war against iran the next minute he's threatening war against north korea these are both extraordinarily co

it's one of the largest states around in the south they are recipient states. they contribute to the federal government. it's having somebody like nancy pelosi even with the minority leader helpful to the state the two senators were longtime until they had greater seniority in the senate that matters. it is the largest by far though rarely do they vote together but they can. there is such a concentration of talent, such a concentration of so many smart people doing so many things. innovation is one of those things that happens all the time and know that does not always work that it does what it does. it changes everything if you go to facebook there are things all over the place. i remember one time walking through facebook and saw a sign they will first ask for forgiveness later. that kind of mentality is there. there is a culture differential to begin with a very different place and so that sometimes causes attention and depends on the administration. bill clinton and barack obama saw great benefits from california and managed to get congress off for the mass

we ball game the first state in declare state of emergency. some people may remember the riots in baltimore. declared a state of emergency, sent in the national guard, extra police officers. this emergency is far bigger. have a single death in the riots in baltimore. 12 ave 2,000 in the past months with heroin. nd opioids and fentanyl and carfentanil. it's tearing apart families and communities from one end of our other, and i'll just say, in spite of all of our we aren't making much progress. we've got to find a way to get the federal, state, local working in the same direction together with community organizations and faith-based organizations right and we've families, got to hit it from every direction with everything that we've got. this is one of the biggest ever affect our country. not just from a drug crisis, number ng to become a one killer if we distant slow this thing down. > earlier this year, president trump appointed new jersey governor chris christie to lead the president's commission on drug addiction and the opioid crisis. the

what is the rough fraction of, say, daesh's secondary mark, the gulf states, arab states, north america, just in rough terms? are there trends in that? how effective have we been, for example, in western europe and north america at least to restrict purchases to well documented, things well-documented to be in museums and then disappear and as well as items that, you know, were lifted out of the ground without documentation at all in the last couple years? >> sir, i think that the short answer to that question is that generally speaking, in a conflict looting environment. our research to date suggests six to nine years for the antiquities to surface publicly at the end stage of the distribution note. what we do know about the antiquities we've seen looted from syria more broadly that are not at the moment possible to link to daesh itself, they're transshipped through southeast asia through countries such as singapore, indonesia and thailand and then back to markets back in western europe. western europe predated the united states on placing import restrictions on items from syria, the e
