now patrick says, and he's correct, that his industry, the fcc could now go state by state and try to use a theory called conflict preemption to overturn, to preempt these state laws. the problem is the court went very, very deeply e into the fcc's arguments for the, for larger preemption, for preempting all the states at once and rejected every single one of them. and the court said the central element is authority, right? it's congressionally-delegated authority. and if you don't have that, you can't preempt. so i'm not going to say the statements will have either an easy -- the states will have either an easy time, it's going to be case by case. but it ain't a slam dunk east way. and i -- either way. and i do think states now are going to test the bounds of this preemption authority, and they're going to start to pass laws. and that, to me, argues -- and we'll probably agree on this, or we won't agree on how -- this argues for a federal law. >> guest: we agree with that that. [laughter] we probably agree on the importance of net neutrality as well and that consumers should be able

the state has over read the draft history. the court itself set in place is dealing with provisions like this and amendment, double jeopardy clause, we do not read into a deletion of language, any meaning when there's no contemporary evidence designed to change the meaning of the provision and that is all the more true here because the contextual backdrop, the fact that many states at the time had trial by jury provisions in their own constitutions and note those provisions require unanimity but some didn't. the rule was the same across those states. the thing the framers would have taken from the context of the time, doesn't matter if you have unanimity in the provision. it requires it either way. >> to give them -- to be fair even if some have unanimity and some don't and you have a draft that says unanimity i don't understand why you would take it out and argue it doesn't matter whether it was in or not why would they take it out? >> the best historical evidence that it got latched to a debate about that requirement, what j

all states are purple states. states that have a majority of republicans, how do you convince them it is a good thing? part of it gets back to your question, a sense of, we are going to lose the popular vote. that is what everyone cares about in the end. they want what will help their candidate win. >> if you can convince people it is up for grabs, i think you can start to win over the republican-controlled states. those last 74 electoral votes will be a heavier left than the first 190 six. 196. how you convince republican lawmakers to adopt the compacted on the surface looks like something that would hurt them. >> some of my conversations with folks, one of the things folks are congress of aware of is the things that are occurring. states that were for example comfortably red, or certainly comfortably i guess republican-controlled. texas is demographically changing.

his invitation to president erdogan to visit the united states. president erdogan needs to here about the opposition. and it makes no sense to extend hospitality and niceties during this crisis. republicans and democrats must come together and ensure that the administration understands the consequences of these actions. we have to do more to ensure that such mistakes never happen again. thank you, mfficer: the senator from rhode island. mr. reed: thank you, mr. president. i, too, rise this afternoon to discuss the situation in syria. let me commend my colleague, senator romney, for his very thoughtful and very timely and very important comments. we all recognize that the situation in syria is highly fluid, but it's important, i think, to state the case with respect to the president's decision to acquiesce to president erdogan's offensive against the kurds. the president's decision is a disaster for our partners in the fight against isis and the united states foreign policy more broadly spoken. while i welcome the temporary cease-fire announced a s

a robust school choice state. we are celebrating 25 years of charter schools in arizona. for this federal proposal, is not only good education policy, it is good tax policy. for us to continue to enhance that in arizona with this opportunity, we would be able to do more with what we have to put forward as a foundation. one of the things -- expanses i had an state legislature before becoming state treasurer was always designing what works for the money available and the opportunities there. we would not have as many boundaries with this, because we would have that much more to use and be able to have more kids in those schools that they want to be in. right now, there are some prohibitions for the types of kids that can have what we call empowerment scholarships. one of those, if you are a preschooler you have to be a preschooler with a disability. a kindergartner, with a disability. let's let all of those preschoolers at all those kindergartners be able to choose the school of their choice. this would allow us to

for instance, the state of west virginia, the state opioid response grants go to every state in a formula fashion that -- where you are supporting treatment centers, drug courts and other responses to the addiction issue. but under the old rule, the money was divided up according to your population size. i started talking with senator shaheen, of new hampshire, small state impacted more than our state of west west and said that our small states are not getting enough in the opioid response grants to make an impact and be part of the solution. we pushed hard to change the funding so the states that are smaller, like montana, new hampshire, and west virginia, are able to get more funding so we can attack the problem where it is the deepest and most acute. it helps with our w.v.u. comprehensive opioid addiction treatment, the code program, the model they put together at w.v.u. for medicated assisted treatment and it has had a lot of impacts too on our children and our families. what we found too, like every state here, i'm sure, in the state of arkansas, you probably have more kids in foster

why state the obvious? the exclusive role of congress in creating offices is reinforced by the appointments clause, which governs how certain kinds of government employees -- those known as officers of the united states -- more on them later -- have to be appointed. the president shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the spring court, and all other officers of the united are notose appointments herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law. if they are not established by law, they do not exist. if we are talking about a position to be filled by an officer of the united states, it must be established by law, meaning statute. we need congress. so what has congress done with respect to the department of justice? well, it has passed a lot of statutes creating a lot of offices. i will run through them quickly. department structure. you have one attorney general, one deputy attorney gener

the state rights of states like new jersey. likewise i've heard republicans talk about state rights and the virtues of federalism. well guess what? the state and local tax deduction is a bedrock of federalism. today's c.r.a. vote is an opportunity for my colleagues across the aisle to actually stand up for those principles of self-reliance, of state rights, and federalism, to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. and to preserve the programs of these 32 states with charity tax credit programs that are now all threatened of being extinguished by the i.r.s.' determination. i want to close by sharing a constituent letter i received earlier this year about what the property tax deduction meant to one new jersey family. this past april leah from bud lake wrote, quote, my husband and i just did our taxes today and for the first time ever we owe money. and it's not just a little but hundreds. we own a home and for the first time we were not able to itemize our deductions. our deductions, in fact, were cut in half. there is n

of state.tate department resignations, crumbling morale at the state department, all over mike pompeo's role in the ukrainian controversy and his refusing to answer questions. democratic senator jeanne shaheen, a member of the foreign relations committee, joins me next. are you paying too much and current medicare plan? as a person with medicare, you have an important choice to make. you can purchase a separate drug plan for an additional cost, or you can choose a humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan. an affordable, all-in-one plan, that includes your health benefits and drug coverage in one. in fact, last year, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $7400, on average, on their prescription costs. with these humana plans, you get prescription drug coverage. you're covered when you go to the doctor, a specialist or the hospital. you get coverage for emergencies, even when you're travelling. and you're covered for many preventive services like mamm

home state of california. the states that that have election date registries and tend to have five or ten percentage points higher than the states that don't and it's the single reform that there is has the oddest consensus among medical scientists that facilitate participation particularly among our people mobile who moved recently in average americans historically disadvantaged groups. we've heard about purges erroneous removals from the roles and election day vegetation can be a valuable safety net and making sure that any voters who are get to participate on election day. >> thank you for that. i know my time is up but it also helps if the russians hijack the registration rules it's actually protection against that kind of cyber mischief that was same-day registration we would prevent them from ruining our election. final comment. >> thank you. in addition to the other provisions of h.r. 1 lds supports early voting in federal elections are busy it offers the opportunity to cut down on the election and admi

state, certainly a high-tech state. and it will solidify the united states as the global energy leader. we are now the -- as you know, exporting energy in a bigger way than we ever have before. and this just builds on that momentum. these are all significant wins for our states individually and for this country as a whole. in the ag which of course, as i say, certainly a big issue for us in north dakota. the usmca really makes it an important difference and a helpful difference for us in agriculture. the last 50 years our country has had an ag trade surplus and we are -- and our farmers and ranchers can now compete with anyone in the world. they produce the highest quality, lowest-cost food supply in the world and we have a positive balance of trade in ag. and we need these type of trade agreements in place to continue that positive balance in our ag trade. my state, for example, we ship $4.5 billion worth of ag products around the globe. in 2017, making us the ninth largest exporter of ag goods among the 50 states. and

united states, mike pence. one week ago turkish forces crossing into syria. president trump took a decisive action to call on turkish forces to stand down and the violence, agreed to negotiations. today i am proud to report, thanks to the strong leadership of president trump and the strong relationship between president erdogan and turkey and the united states of america. today the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease-fire in syria. turkish's side will pause operation peace spring in order to allow for the withdrawal of wide pg forces from the safe zone for 120 hours. all military operation will be paused. an operation peace spring will be halted entirely on completion of withdraw. our administration had been in contact with syria defense forces and we have begun to facilitate of their safe withdrawal nearly 20 miles safe zone area, south of the turkish border in syria. also includes in an agreement by turkey to engage in no military action against the community of cabani and in addition the united s

that exist between the states and among the states when it comes to voter accessibility and voter fairness. we know, at this.in this eight years that occurred since 2011, is that the states that we're previously covered, by preclearance have in fact, and some of the worst records for not only holds closures but for purchase that literally millions of others have been affected by that. that those voters deserve the coverage and the protection of our law or country they did not have to be subjected to that the voter denial before they are able to have the votes counted properly that you also have you told this congress to come up with a new set of coverage formula. it is the design to look at both violations or that are the most extreme. they denied the most voters the right to participate. says your directive, to congress. we held hearings, the impound and looked at reports of what is happening in those states, we are able to come up with a formula that captures for preclearance, states that are engaging in the worst activities. at the same time, we also have recognized that in this modern

we worked in over 20 states and they have red states and blue states and it's not just concentrated in one region of the country. we have worked over the years collaborative way with states and litigating against them to raise the level of compliance with those very important voter registration opportunities. one of the things that really concerns us is under the current department of justice there has been no enforcement actions to import section five or section seven of the national voter registration act and that is a big problem we can't cover the entire country on our own. if disproportionately targets people of color and communities of color are represented among the franchised americans beyond the representation. at the end person meant is almost six times that so to achieve the goal that is sent her to democracy, we must reform the current law for the disenfranchised persons with the convictions. all people who are incarcerated can vote, there's nothing inevitable about this. the issue of disenfranchisement is compounded by the prison-based gerrymandering. incarcerated persons

we will visit the state of ohio. up next, state department officials talk about the trump administration's approach to public diplomacy, including a reorganization of the public affairs arm of the state department. the heritage foundation is the host of this event. >> good morning, and welcome to the heritage foundation. it is a true pleasure to welcome you to our distinguished panel today. we are going to be talking about public diplomacy in the trump administration. significant changes have been taking place within the state department in this field, yet -- at least i think, as someone who studies this extensively, not enough has really been coming forth about the extent of those changes and the effects they are having on the effectiveness of your communication with other publics in other countries. we have with us today, our main speaker will be the assistant secretary of state and a senior official in the bureau of public affairs. we're thrilled you could join us today. we look forward to this event. she joined t

rather than focusing on going state-by-state. but i would make two other points. .1 is while i'm again getting back to the chevron deference, that agencies have. it is a double-edged sword. because of the fcc changes in they would have a roadmap to go back to title ii if they wanted to. i say to people, with experience being a former let her get her, you live by chevron and you die by chevron. -- being a former litigator. has nothing toe do italic medications. it has to do with the bimetal regulations -- with environmental regulations. it says that if you look at the way an agency interprets its organic statute, in this case the communications act. if the plane lang which of the laws clear, that answers the question -- if the plain language of the law is clear that answers the question. however, as some would argue is the case here and the court said is the case here, the lang which of the communications act is an big u.s. -- if the language of the committee case and zach is a big u.s. than the court looks to see if the what the

as well as other states. how do you assure that whatever you begin to detect three weeks out is something that you follow up on and is coordinated? mr. masterson again, working through our information sharing analysis certainty a. we get reporting, if there is additional facts, jurisdictions we are able to coordinate that across the whole of government and look for those trends. look for that information that would connect incidents -- mr. correa: final question. i have been to unanimous of elections. i detected irregularities. i tried to call my local d.a. in 2020 i'm out there walking door-to-door i see something weird happening. who do i call? or do i google your telephone number? mr. masterson depending on the activity -- mr. correa: private-public sector. individuals out there. mr. masterson from our perspective one is you should report any activity to the local election official. the local election administrator who can understand the activity you are seeing, remediate it. in addition we worked with vot

it was the largest restructuring at the state department in 20 years, since the merger of usia with statemission behind that was to elevate and enhance and accelerate how we are communicating with audiences all around the world, in real time, to advance our policy and values. i was very pleased to lead this, alongside nicole, the head of the international information programs bureau, merging public affairs and ifp together to create global public affairs. an emphasis on data and analytics. we increased in multiple ways investments and resources in data analytics, to measure and improve how we are communicating with audiences across the world. a lot of emphasis on content, and different types of ways, creative ways we can communicate with audiences across multiple traditional,ether digital or emerging platforms, and a future focus on platforms that will be emerging, whether it is augmented reality, virtual areity, a.i., but how we thinking of communicating in those platforms to make sure we are advancing american diplomacy as technology continues to drive change. so, seeing a lot of ways t

as well as in the united states. it is less how it is designed structurally and more how we work but that is the creek apart of setting up the working group to lean on public diplomacy, folks in public affairs legacy to come up with the best way to get gpa at the center of the conversation when policy conversations are happening so we shaped it at the front end along the way and continue to fine tune it so we are a partner and how it gets done versus communicating on our own. [inaudible conversations] >> the microphone. >> i am a fellow for public diplomacy american security project. i want to discuss values. this was brought up in the presentation, and domestically, a disagreement, i want to settle on the idea of a free press and the idea of a free press by its nature needing to be adversarial and how the executive branch, the value of organizations like voice of america to explain how america works and core values written into our constitution and how we square that with statements the president made about the role

if this was a common practice in the state department where sometimes the secretary of state listenslls, then why this answer? listen to this moment. >> what do you know about those conversations? >> so you just gave me a report about a whistle-blower complaint, none of which i've seen. >> it gets weirder each time you listen to it, actually, admiral. >> her question was what do you know about these conversations? not hey, what do you know about the whistle-blower complaint. he just deflected and spun which is a tactic certainly in my former profession i'm familiar with. if you don't like the question, you provide a different kind of answer. he clearly didn't want to go there. >> but again, why isn't the answer, yes, i was on that phone call. i'm routinely on those phone calls. >> i suspect it's because he knows how serious this call is and he knows the voracity. which was there was pressure put by trump on president zelensky. that's why he was trying to spin himself out of that. >> the answer is self evident. he was trying. it's not like the secretary of state wasn't aware of the is

the states votes. rural voters in california are disempowered. world voters all over the country are disempowered because they don't matter because they aren't in swim stakes swing states. i want to emphasize that those beliefs are not correct. this is again something the people perhaps have not bought up. foreign interference and elections is very much on people's minds of these days. you can't avoid it. having a few swing states, having the election decided in florida and pennsylvania and ohio, maybe this year and next year in arizona, michigan, wherever it might be that opens up a villa vulnerability to hacking. a natural national popular vote can have a margin in the millions. if we have a close election, the number of votes that need to be flipped in order to alter the outcome is smaller. on the right side, the big bars are the popular vote for trump versus clinton and others. we're going back in time here. these are elections where tens of thousands or millions of votes would need to be flipped i

there could be others, it's not specific to us, tying it to states, state funding that is coming from the government, only going to evidence based, to treatment programs following evidence based practices, again that relates to quality measurement, so you can determine which treatments are following evidence based practices, were crying better cool schools in their state two of the sikh training to prevent and treatment of addiction, there is three right there that will be significantly, significant improvements to the system, if i can add one more federal to illuminate that at 2000 which requires any doctor who wants to prescribe -- to go through a significant process with the dea, licensing hours of training, oversight on, doctors can prescribe without any additional training, why do they have to go through this whole process to prescribe -- the results in less than 5% can prescribe this, lesson 50% of the counties in the united states have even one doctor who can prescribe this. >> there is legislation now in congress to eliminate that in 2000, i would highly recommend that. >> tha

the deep state, many people say there is no deep state. well, i believe there is the, and i think historically we find that from the beginning of government there has been a deep state. in my book i i actually go into where the word came from, from the early 1900s in turkey. and the deep state are bureaucrats and the infrastructure that continues no matter what the administration is. and the case here in the united states, i talk about the deep state with the government employees, i talk about the how it's different than it has been in the past, and here's the thing, i also talk about basically a collusion of nongovernment entities that are in support of the government bureaucracy, the deep state. >> so let's start with the government bureaucracy as you call it. wasn't it important to have a nonpartisan civil service? >> guest: ideally, if you're taking a civics class in college, that's what you would think would be. the whole idea is people, there's 1.8 million people that are in the federal government. and, of course, there's state gover

he served as an assistant secretary of state in both the state department and national security councilk you for making time tonight. i know it's been a long day. >> thank you so much. >> i was struck by the congressman said there about how it was eight hours that went like a new york second that he seemed -- he seemed moved by the testimony. how would you describe the testimony today? >> i agree. you know, we spent nine hours with a diplomat, a patriot of tremendous courage and integrity who answered questions honestly, thoroughly and who set an example today that not only should you obey a legally binding subpoena, but you can. you can be a career civil servant or foreign service officer and despite the president's efforts to deny you the opportunity to compel you to not testify to congress, you can. >> do you believe that she is at risk of retaliation or firing within the state department because of her decision today to obey this subpoena? i know that the state department reportedly on orders from the white house told her not to come. when she got the subpoena, she did. are you worr

which the greatest asset in a constitutional state is citizens' trust in the state's monopoly on the use of force. but that also means the state must protect its citizens and for a while it was unable to do that the way to a promise to. a constitutional state does not abide by the rule of the strongest but by the rule of democratically established laws. we can't always agree on everything and it doesn't matter if a small percentage swims against the tide or isn't fully integrated. but the majority must stick to the rules of living together and recognize how important they are. they need to realize how badly they could be affected if these rules should one day be suspended after. the end of the 2nd world war 1945 left germany completely devastated 12 years of tyranny had left their mark every one had been forced to submit to a dictatorship that ultimately driven the country interviewing. in the 1949 foundations were laid for a new beginning. a year earlier the west german constituent assembly backed by the western allies had made in the alexander clinic a natural research museum in bo

you talk about state-by-state than they would be potentially litigated on a state-by-state basis.hat do you see than? what do you mean by case-by-case and what do you see is the top issues you would confront? commissioner o'rielly: well, look, it depends. some states have gone after the determine side. some have an entire regime based on rules we struck down, replaced with our recent action, so i don't know what the particular state activity would be, but if it runs counter to our policy we would likely challenge that activity under our authority. so it would be under a state-by-state basis rather than, here is the governance for traffic on the internet and internet access and broadband access, and we are going to have to deal with it at the federal side. now we're going to have to get more litigants, more lawyers, probably more legal challenges. gopal: you already mentioned states are looking at differently. can you lay out how they have already been shaping up? commissioner o'rielly: it depends on the state. they all have a different nuance to them. that's exactly why our founde

but there are some number of states, a great number, 46 states, 48 states, whatever it is, that go further than you do in terms of saying something more is required than the mere capacity to formulate criminal intent. and that something more in large measure is some ability to make moral judgments and to distinguish between right and wrong. and again, let's assume that that's what the historical record said. i know you don't agree with that, but let's assume that is what the historical record said and could you win? >> this court has -- petitioner has to satisfy a high burden to identify a particular rule that the absence of which kansas law would constitute a violation of a deeply rooted rule and that simply doesn't exist based on the very generalialities we talked about today. >> by its nature, that the principle is historically established that you cannot punish people who don't know the difference between right and wrong, that sounds like something that is rooted in the conditions and would be ranked as fundamental. >> i think what -- and i don't mean to fight the hypothetical here, bu

state officials purged voters for not voting from 2018, georgia's secretary of state brian kemp purged 1.4 million voters. some states are more committed to purchase than ensuring inaccurate listening in this process. in 2018 georgia's exact match law questioning the registration status and 50,000 voters over minor inconsistencies in their registration records. recently ohio secretary of state admitted the purge system was rife with errors just shy of half 1 million ohioans, many african-american and low income voters would be purged under this law system. in 2018 voters placed polling place changes. alicia conference education fund democracy diverted report found section 5 states, there were 1173 fewer polling places in 2018 than in 2014. despite the record turnout, 31% latino closed 171 polling locations after 2012 the most of any county studied in the report. widespread polling place changes lead to the overuse of provisional ballots which are campaign analysis was 717 former section 5 counties found voters with more polling place closures are more likely to be asked to cast a provi

and 71 years ago we established the state of israel. since then, we have defended and developed our homeland and today the state of israel is the wrong -- is strong on defense, a nation that leads in many fields. israel is a real democracy for all of its citizens, jewish and non-jewish alike. but first of all israel is the , nationstate of the jewish people, based on thousands of years of jewish history and the right of the jewish people to its own homeland, just as the u.n. decided 72 years ago. i want to thank the president of the united states, donald trump, for his historic and brave decision to recognize jerusalem, the internal capital of the eternal capital of the jewish people for 3000 years, as the capital of israel. [applause] and to relocate the american embassy to jerusalem. [applause] i call on all countries to follow the united states and to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. no one can separate the jewish people from our historic homeland, and no one can separate us from jerusalem, our eternal capital. [applause

it's not donald trump's state department. it is our state department. today pompeo pushed back on house democrats demand to interview key state department officials as early as this week calling it an act of intimidation. but his efforts to stone wall the impeachment inquiry are already crumbling. just a few hours ago we learned the former special envoy to ukraine will testify in the impeachment inquiry on thursday two days from now. he resigned his post. he's nout alone. the former ambassador to ukraine, the woman who trump seemed to threaten menacingly in his conversation with the ukrainian president will also testify before the house committees next week. mike pompeo coming out today and telling house democrats the state department will not show up for impeachment hearings sh because we now know mike pompeo was reportedly on that same ukraine call with president zelensky. but remember this is how he reacted when asked about it exactly a week ago. >> "the wall street journal" is reporting that president trump pressed the president of ukraine eight tim

state university.hould we get going? >> let's go. >> on the left, you will see a tall tower. oldsmobile building, right? >> right. he came to lansing with his family and founded oldsmobile. you will find his name on a lot of things you talk about in lansing. >> a lot of people associate the car industry with detroit, but it made its way here. >> it actually begin here. olds was a friend of henry ford, but he built the first assembly line and henry ford perfected it. olds had a lot of great inventions. he founded reo card company. both of those -- car company. th both of those are in lansing. we have two state-of-the-art facilities in lansing. you can see straight ahead is the beautiful state capitol of michigan. this building has been here since the mid 1800s. the state capitol welcomes thousands of school groups and visitors each year. lansing is notk only the state capitol, but also a great tourist destination. we will pass by a lot of government buildings here. i want to say we have tens of thousand

all 50 states have led to us. but you are now saying it is okay to stigmatize with a criminal conviction even though in fact you may be insane? >> i'm saying what the state of kansas has done has defined mental illness defense consistently with the historical teachings dating back to blackstone to the 1910 and they indicated up until the 19th century that being one in criminal intent -- >> can you assume for a moment that i disagree with you on the reading of the historical record and let's say that the historical record that there is much more evidence than you are suggesting and the defendant had to have the guilty mind meaning and understanding of what he was doing was immoral as well as the inability to form specific criminal intent. if that is the case, if you look at all the cases and say case after case after case what they're talking about is something more than criminal intent, what they are talking about is moral understanding, if that is the case what is your best argument? >> i have three, the first on

the top five states get over half the money. the bottom five states get zero. now, what this is in effect is not a welfare program or relief practice it's at redistribution program. we are redistributing wealth from republican states or states that are not in some way serviceable to franklin roosevelt, who states that are very influential and key in franklin roosevelt's economic or political career. hearry hop hari hopkins was a leader on the relief act, one the the fdr's people distribute the money and were careful to distribute the money to the people they thought were the politically most worthy of receiving i it. boston is caught in a bind. as part of my research in the book i was trying to deal with how massachusetts was dealing with this. massachusetts constantly worked to raise money because now massachusetts has to feed its own unemployed, plus it has to send taxes to washington to feed illinois. listen to this. in massachusetts, a statewide unemployment drive raid over $3 million. that in today's money would be more like $50 million. the boston civic s

and what we are also seeing is that we're seeing heads of state here in california, seven other statesthe united states have committed to move to 100% clean energy, moving off of all fossil fuels. we've seen more than 100 mayors in cities across the united states beginning to make the same commitment to get off alll fossil fuels and move to 100% clean, renewable energy and seeing the largest countries around the world, companies like sales force and walgreens, ikea and starbucks and many others make the same commitments to get off all fossil fuels. and what we're starting to see is an increasing willingness by governors and state regulators and by people across all civil society of the trump administration to face this crisis and realize we don't just have an obligation to act but there's an opportunity to address in of is biggest challengeses we face in the country. becan revive our economy and put millions to work in good, high quality, well-paying jobs. we can cut air and watater and climate pollution all at the same time by challenging our leaders to move ofoff of f foss fuels and

state? >> yes and more importantly they know how to share information with us, because the most likely people to report of cyber incidents -- >> so you do have a specific individual at each stage here talk to? >> yes. >> are we talking silos or is the information a two way street, so to speak, to you have people at the state level that you trust to work with to make sure you're all sharing the information on a realtime basis? >> absolutely sir, thank you for that question, we have points and contacts and a trusted relationship across all 50 states so they feel uncomfortable sharing that information and they are able to not only respond to the individual incident but take that information and distributed broadly across the entire election community so they can take action or look for possible compromises across the election infrastructure, that is the biggest area of improvement since 2016, the amount of information we are receiving from a state and local election officials, whether it is rep

state department officials. this is deeply unfair to the officers that serve under me. it's wrong. i can't comment on what they're saying because i have not been permitted to either have a lawyer present or to see the recorded transcripts or the translations of what was said. i can't comment on what people may or may not be saying in that room frankly, you can't either. you weren't there either, george. >> i've read the reports and we've seen the testimony. >> you've seen leaked reporting from democrats. that's right, george. >> some of the testimony has been released by the witnesses themselves and of course the state department is not complying with some of the subpoenas for documents as well. and we do know that so much -- and this is by his own admission -- that so much of this activity was being carried out by the president's personal lawyer, rudy giuliani. was he acting with your blessing and supervision? >> george, i've had one consistent policy as the secretary of state to not talk about internal deliber

the visible hand of the state is even in the well this is like the united states we're thinking about the success of the invention of the internet for example with our state intervention in the in the military research i mean this may not have happened or at least what happens on voss and he will even look at now. a country so far since they all say they're in the book state owned enterprises you know some of the big biggest event banks up i'll say so i think that they don't have to buy system on plea of come of this. but i think the challenges they like to refer to a lot of big i mention the fact that china's or suspected or the remarkable achievement of all this in fact if you look at the period it's not 70 years because china only open up in life in something online so yes in 40 years this company changed but then but then. all the time it's respected sunny's law liked by a lot of countries even every search in. africa where china's investments. a lot better this the last time this makes close to. us. is saw. you know what the so. institutions confidence. and. some sort of a check

state department, then yes, it would be reviewed by state department personnel. there will be an inner agency process, even potentially. none of those enormonorms and w government usually behaves applies in this case. she is in a very unusual position. she's been in the government over 33 years. i assume that she's potentially eligible to retire, and probably will have to make decisions about whether he's going to stay in government or whether she's going to leave government. this is a statement, this is somebody on the inside who is telling members of congress in their oversight capacity and then also the public by being able to release her statement that she is sounding a warning that u.s. national security and diplomatic activities may not be being conducted in the united states' interest. that is her point. there may be some sort of shadow diplomacy going on where you have the state department supposing to be doing official things for the government and on the other hand you have this close cadre of political officials in the white house acting in interests o

trump in the united states senate if the house impeaches the president. senator murphy also might be a witness because senator murphy had his own conversation with the president of ukraine and other ukrainian officials about the pressure that donald trump put on ukraine. and as donald trump fights for his life, he doesn't seem to have the energy or the focus or possibly even the awareness to fight the republicans. yes, the republicans in congress who are doing and saying things that donald trump does not like. donald trump appeared not to know today that republican senator chuck grassley came out yesterday in defense of the whistle-blower, a strong defense, and specifically criticized what president trump has said about the whistle-blower without mentioning the president's name. that is the kind of thing that we haven't seen republicans doing in congress for the last three years because they all live in fear of the wrath of donald trump. a republican house member came out in favor of an investigation into donald trump's phone call with ukraine, and that r

they are going to enter the states, the states are going to enter the united states to existing states. this is a leap of faith. imagine you have the 13 colonies turned into 13 states, and now you're saying we're going to create new states an equal basis. people are saying, oh really, did they go to the revolution -- through the revolution? this is the understanding of people moving west and as they move west, where they are, that will be incorporated into the united states. it is the notion of the people being at the center of the legal order here. although state governments, they will be similar to other states, citizens in them are going to be like citizens in other states. just because you move around the country, does not mean you will go to a lesser place. not some colonial place where you would not be able to do the things you would in other states. this is really different than the situation of other imperial powers. these new lands are not come be colonial appendage is -- appendages. it is made public and turned into private property. this happens because of the policy and law

it's one of the oldest in the united states.that didn't stop this outburst from senior policy adviser steven miller. >> this is a deep state operative pure and simple. and this individual is a saboteur trying to undermine a democratically elected government. >> not even a little bit there, pal. whistle-blowers have outed saboteurs and other bad actors. then we have president trump. >> the spies and treason, right? we used to handle them a little differently than we do now. >> yes, we did, which is why we have these laws in the first place. today's whistle-blower already fears for their safety and who could blame them. where you stand is often where you sit in washington. which is why chuck grassley deserves praise for sticking to his principles saying yesterday the whistle-blower appears to have followed the laws and ought to be heard out and protected. we need to strengthen the laws if anything. but don't take my word for it. listen to this guy. >> the united nations must hold every level of management accountable, protect whis
