guest: it varies from state to state. typically you are going to have a ballot and you are going to fill out the ballot and then put it in an envelope. that envelope will have certain information you will have to put on it. it is there to verify who you are. in some states, it is more extensive. you might have to provide a reason or get a witness. other states maybe you have to put your name. also there is a privacy aspect and that nobody in the mail system is going to treat it like another envelope. once the local officials receive them, typically you are going to have a system of looking at that ballot or opening the ballot which is monitored by representatives from both parties. you will have an election official and both parties watching out for the other making sure that no one view is represented or not. sometimes there are disputes about whether a ballot is legitimate or not or has met the requirements. many states, if you have made a mistake on the envelope, they may contact you and give you an opportunity to corr

to state. problem with the articles of confederation, and ultimately what dooms it, you can see from how it is signed. the signing is going to take place right when the continental congress comes back in the -- comes back to philadelphia when the british army has left. the british leave philadelphia in june. the congress is back in july and on july 9, they are ready to sign the articles of confederation. the way the signing of that one works is a little different. the declaration of independence is signed by the delegates and most sign on the same day. the articles of confederation is signed as each state approves it, there delegates will sign it. delegates will sign it. so they are waiting for the states to make their decision. about half or so are going to sign that first day. over the next weeks, most of the rest will sign. ultimately, maryland will hold out for close to two years. the signing will begin july 9, 1778. it won't finish until march the first of 1781. you're talking about two an

states. in florida, for instance, hillary clinton led before election day by 247,000 votes. trump won election day voters by 360,000 and won the state. in the fight over mail-in voting, the postal service has become a flash point. after an urgent warning last month to dozens of states that it cannot guarantee all mail-in ballots will be counted. postmaster general louis dejoy backtracked before congress. >> the postal service is fully capable and committed to delivering the nation's ballots securely and on time. >> will you put the high speed machines back? >> no, i will not. >> you will not. >> i will not. >> the chaotic primary cycle has exposed warning signs. >> it was a complete mess of a system. >> it took pennsylvania 28 days to count all of its primary votes. in new york, it was 42 days. states like wisconsin, georgia and texas were plagued by long lines at the polls, 11th hour court rulings and failing voting machines. >> it is pouring out here. how long have you been waiting? >> abou

the other is that states, people and states switching, the state would lose clout if it moves to a district system rather than winner take all. and even though everybody might agree that adjusters would be better off with a proportional system even better because it would avoid gerrymandering, nobody wants to go first. nobody wants to give up their clout first. that has been the core problem. in 2007, eight, the legislature of north carolina which is democratic at the time was poised to institute district elections, and they were about to do. they had the votes when suddenly the national democratic party said we don't want you to do this. there was a simultaneous movement in california by republicans to institute a district system which might have one republicans 22 electoral votes in california. we can't can be arguing for thd north carolina and against in california. that's some of the reasons. >> just to add a brief comment which is that's one of the reasons why the national popular vote compact is designed the way it is. no state wants to go first so it's designed such that we will all

new england and new england states influence states in the west including ohio. they also new york state because of all the yankees in upstate new york. they failed to carry pennsylvania, illinois and indiana. because that, they lost the presidential election. the name of the game between 1856 and 1860 was to figure out a strategy to carry those three big states pennsylvania, indiana illinois that they did fail to carry in 56. the lincoln nomination to make a long story short, what's the result of a hardheaded calculation. how can we expand our peel, let's choose a person who on the one hand has a clear anti slavery record. but is also perceived as a moderate that comes from one of these three states. and it was highly regarded for the strong even have narrowly losing candidacy that he had run for years before. the name of the game was pennsylvania indiana illinois. there were not enough what you might call morally people who would give priority to the moral issue, to cavalry either of those three states. lincoln was the ideal candidate to bridge between the folk

if you look at the 50-state map, nine states, meaning nine of the 50. nine states reporting more coronavirus and new infections now than a week ago. 21 states holding steady and that's the beige. 20 states trending down including this in florida, texas and california. three of the big drivers of the summer surge now in the right direction in terms of the new coronavirus infections. if you look at the death trend map, it's a smaller number. eight states reporting more deaths this week compared to last week. only eight states reporting that and 14 holding steady and 28 states, look across the south across california. 28 deaths, let's hope that trend continues, remember, you go back all of the way to june here pre-memorial day up the summer surge and we are coming down and we are coming down, not as fast as you would like, and it's a slow drop, but you see it here. 26,000 cases yesterday, below 30,000 cases a couple of days in a row and the question is does that stick. sometimes coming out of the weekend they jump back up, but the tuesday number suggests t

not the united states. the united states has an extremely bad record.nited states that has to show that it's committed to this deed, that it will not violate it again, that it will not make demands outside the scope of the deal, that it will compensate iran for the damages. the united states withdrew from jcpoa for no reason. it incurred damages on the iranian people. today iran is not able to even buy vaccines for influenza because the united states does not allow us to transfer the money. right now, as we speak, our order to buy vaccines for influenza, not for covid, vaccines for influenza, is waiting for an authorization by the united states to pay our own money. not to pay their money, we're not asking anybody for donation. so the united states, whoever is the president, it is immaterial for us who sits in the white house. for us what is important is how they behave. and the united states has behaved extremely irresponsibly, dangerously in the international community, so it is up to the united states. the united states has to take into account it is

so how do states respond? the argument is they could raise taxes which is the wrong thing to do any recession. second, although the heroes act words allac this because they said that would make it difficult for states and the competition for upper income taxpayers from that deduction and those to move out of the state and as the governor points out they cannot deficit spend higher deficit and lower revenue and cannot raise taxes cannot deficit spend the only lifeline is the federal government. went to welcome back the two governors you testified between one.$5 billion surplus to a two two.5 billion-dollar deficit the heroes act would extend money nationwide to local governments. mitch mcconnell has a bill with less than one fifth of thatmo amount. many republicans have pounded the table i have faith in state and local governments with the right mix of officers with other ways to deal with public safetyig problems. but that which goes for public safety the one thing that would prevent my city and those is that

isolation of the united states. verification by the international community of the legitimacy of the iranian position really which is an important achievement not. this put it on what would it national community for the rule of law no. contact at the military level with our friends those contacts will continue usually these are not broadcast live on television i see you mentioned the european reaction and i do want to ask you about the europeans because i think in russia now nowadays finds itself in a station similar to the one that they're on it was with the g c p a way because it has invested in the pipeline in the north stream pipeline and now it's c.s. the europeans having 2nd thoughts of paying lip service to certain ideas for the out actually putting any muscle behind it. can the europeans still be regarded as this reasonable part of the west because they definitely are talking different talk from the united states but are they more reliable when it comes to international agreements and keeping their war it bu

states have seen cases go up. one of those states seeing a spike -- new york.he weekend, new york state saw more than 1,000 new cases in a single day, and the last time that happened was more than three months ago. meanwhile, in florida, bars and restaurants have reopened at 100% capacity with no restrictions. florida's governor, ron desantis, has lifted all restrictions on businesses statewide. nbc's sam brock is in miami. he's following these new changes. sam, florida saw more than 2,500 new cases on the same day that the governor lifted those restrictions. what are you hearing from folks there about that? >> reporter: look, we've been averaging between 2,000 and 3,000 new infections every single day. there's mixed reaction even within the business community. governor desantis has basically said, you know what's going on right now, businesses are twisting in the wind. we're just going to open everything from here on out. nightclubs, bars, restaurants, gentlemen clubs, all of that is opening up. now they don't have to be open at 100%, but the threshold is 50%

red states or blue states.he ranking of state responses placed more red states then blue states. we have to make sure there is an accurate count. it is in everyone's interest that the census is accurate. our tribal citizens are relying on it, and frankly, every member of congress should be relying on it, because the census determines representation and school representation, and that bible in indian country as i represent my tribal community for its tribal trust relationship, madam chair. to thees right underpinnings of our constitution. >> what would you say to the senators from north carolina? senator tillis and senator burke, i urge you to support a later deadline for the 2020 census operation. $44 billion and essential data to help guide allocation of resources and services for north carolinians across our state. senator tillis, you advocated for north carolina's soldiers and marines to be counted as residents of the state, regardless of whether or not they were deployed abroad. unfortunate, the counties th

states. kind of society that we build. from a kind of strength that we maintain. we discussed tonight domestic issues. but i would not want that to be any implication to be given that this does not involve directly our study with mr. khrushchev for survival. mr. khrushchev is in new york. he maintained the communist offensive throughout the world because of the productive power of the soviet union itself. the chinese communists have always had a large population. nowthey are dangerous because they are amounting major efforts within their own country. the kind of country we have to. the kind of society we have, the kind of strength we build in the united states will be the defense of freedom. if we do well here, if we are moving ahead that i think freedom will be secure around the world. if we fail, then freedom fails. i think the question for the american people is, are we doing as much as we can do? are we at strongest as we should be? are we as strong as we must be to maintain our independe

because depending where you live in a state you'll have a different state senator, a different state representative, different mayor, that sort of thing. so it's the authorization to make sure they know who you are. that's how they make sure this that they get the right ballot in front of you. it starts there. today. that information is validated by human beings. i mean, i do think at some point in the future there may be a point where we could leverage some electronic technology to validate identity. the reality today, the systems in use, you know, those people that are showing up to vote requesting mail-in ballots and walking in to vote in person, their identity is verified by a human being. >> so, chris, as a for the largest voting machines in the united states and-- you have a unique understanding to underpin at a technical level. what is the biggest challenge to voting machine security and how do you mitigate those risks? >> sure, thanks for the question and thanks for being inviting me to be a part of the panel. voting machine security has evolved over the last 20, 30 years, yo

this peace accord, which is a historic achievement for the united states of america, the state of israelunited arab emirates will continue to have a positive impact as we -- positive impact, as we believe that its reverb bracesh -- that it will reverberate and be reflected on the entire region. any other option would signify destruction, poverty, and human suffering. this new vision that is beginning to take shape as we meet today full of youthful energy is not a slogan that we raise for political gain. as everyone looks for wasrd to -- for a more -- to aeryone looks forward more stable, prosperous, and secure future. [applause] >> [speaking arabic] translator: at a time when science is prevailing, the region's youth are looking forward to taking part in this great humanitarian movement. we are pleased that the united arab emirates will be part of the momentum towards stability and the growth of human potential in a new civilized approach that opens wide the doors of opportunity for those who look forward towards peace, prosperity, and the future. our societies today possess the foundati

of states. jefferson here has drawn a map in which new, not yet existing states, outnumber the original 13 states of the united states. what nation would do this to itself? it is a very strange idea, right. it is a very strange idea to have woven into the fabric of the constitution a system that allows for the indefinite expansion of the nation through space and through the accretion of additional political units. that have the power over time to overwhelm the original, the political units, the states that originally made up the country. >> i just have a question about the expansion part. what did, like, france or spain or great britain think of this map. because this is very clearly incorporates territories that they supposedly claims and had claimed to in the northwest or in the southwest, down there. >> well, that is right. and it became, the united states had to worry a lot about the hostility of foreign powers in the early deck aades of its existence. and in the territories by the treaty of

of alaska, only just become a united states state and senator gruehning was a hard nosed realist and doing a cost/benefit analysis and his critique was i don't get it. why does it make sense for the united states to spend blood and treasure going to vietnam. there was no moral critique, no larger issue about the meaning of americanness. it didn't add up for him but again, these are two senators. there's almost no visible critique as johnson launches what will quickly become an american war in vietnam. there were a few other choices, a few public voices that raised questions, mostly from the realist perspective. does this add up? hans morganthou, adviser to the state department, a big name in the united states at least academic community, he raises those issues. walter litman, a famous columnist, been making pronouncements about american policy for by this time some 50 years, he raises some questions. he also critiqued this as a really just not a reasonable solution to america's interests in asia, but otherwise, remember, there's a kind of consensus, it's an election year in '64, john

part of the united states. enormous quantities of oil befell in the gulf of mexico but the oil lay beyond the 3 miles island in which coastal states could exercise their song rights truman wanted more he wanted new term story for the night it states the superpower needed more more oil urgently oil reserves on the mainland no longer sufficed. our dependence on these minerals and raw materials is so fresh and our supply so uncertain that we are moving as rapidly as we can and by every means that ingenuity can devise to expand facilities to step up production find new sources develop substitutes and bring in increased supplies from foreign sources. after to 2nd world war in $1045.00 then us president truman issued a proclamation. declaring that the natural resources in the. seabed and subsoil belong to the united states of america. in convincing the world that the american president not only had the will but also the right to incorporate undersea territory truman used an argument that built on a recent discovery s

across the state, we continue to fight additional new active fires, creek fire being one, the valley fire now in san diego, 3% contained, some 17,000 acres impacted so far, the el dorado fire in and around san bernardino county, 10% containment, 16,000 acres, these are the new active fires that have come up over the course of the weekend, the el dorado getting a lot of attention, because it is a reminder that the vast majority of fires we have experienced on an annual basis come from individuals making bad decisions, or by simple neglect and accident, meaning 90 plus percent of the fires we experience in the state of california are man-made fires, el dorado, there is an investigation, those that may want to inquire more, all i can say is, we are investigating the facts, a lot has been reported on this, we are investigating the veracity of what has been reported, moreover, we have an investigation that is underway and when we are confident in the results that investigation, we will make it, as quickly as possible, that information public, it appears to be, at this moment, i say appear

swing states. michigan he's losing big as a bit of his trying to big even in florida he's actually trying to put it back in those that is based on numbers in the white house now i am really concerned that he will do something drastic traumatic in the rest of this administration days you see today the news that he's already china's cosseted office used them to quote you know i think it's not entirely father wrote that he would do something drastic where people been talking about the silent this relationship has been experiencing a free for all it's actually more than a free for all i think he's trying to stir up something really great. so you really any interest in that is. going to get well what he was able to do and it's not. just have to be true because there's plenty of it you know the pentagon looks at china and then sees a lot of money it's good business you know a real enemy i mean we need to spend a lot more money as the country out the country is or and there's no sign that there's no assis

but some of the states, they were blue states, and blue states -- and by the way, we recommend they open up their states >> i'm sorry, what red states were a-okay have you checked out with texas? >> well, under that logic, if you take out the blue states of 9/11, no one was killed on 9/11. that's how stupid the logic is i mean, when the president of the united states looks at a pandemic that is impacting every corner of this country, that has shut down the economy, that has killed 200,000 americans and the only thing he can see is blue states and red states, the only thing he can see and say is that blue states are worse off because they have poor leadership well, you know, part of the problem that the blue states had in the beginning was you you were the problem you didn't open up the defense production act you didn't give the states what they needed. you gave florida what it wanted because it was a red state but when new york and maryland and other states with republican governors no less, ohio, were trying to get the ppe, were trying to get the resources, what did you tell them well,

if you look at the testing in the united states, 22 states more testing compared to a week ago.t public health experts tell you that's a good thing. the president has an event on testing later today. this is the total testing, the united states is now conducted more than 101 million coronavirus tests. across the united states. that's the cumulative total. is this enough? sunday more than 806,000 coronavirus tests across the united states. you see pretty much a flat line. we have been around 800,000 tests on a daily basis. go back to the end of jurne. 806,000 yesterday. that is more but listen here. this is over recent months, the trump administration promising more and failing to meet the number. >> in august 50 million tests available. if we have pooling we will have measure than that but we are not going to have 300 million tests a day. in september we expect to have well over 85 million tests available. the capacity. we are at an inflection point in testing. this month we will have available on average 3 million tests per day. >> again, later this afternoon the president and

across the country, red states, blue states, northern states, southern states, state governments are forced to cannibalize rainy day funds, cut social services and lay off workers. went 5ng to labor, one million state and local government workers have lost -- sinces is february february. if we don't act, another 2.8 million could lose their jobs within the next year. here is what our key economic thinkers are saying that chair jerome powell warms state and local government layoffs and budget cuts will "holdback economic recovery." former fed chairs bernanke and yellen testified state and local budget cuts and layoffs stifle economic recovery from the great recession and that those job losses at the state and local level, which are half of what we have seen already during covid-19. do you agree with these three fed chairs that state and local budget cuts and layoffs will exert a serious drag on national economic recovery? do we need to act in a way commensurate this threat? don't knownuchin: i if it is a serious drag, but the president and i think we should not be having layoffs of le

the idea of states' rights, the states have certain rights. remember who are the people who have evoked states' rights before and for what purpose before the war? yeah, abby? wait for the mic. make sure the mic is close to you so that everyone can hear your intelligence questions and responses. >> maybe before the civil war, it was southern planter politicians evoking states' rights, but that was fundamentally to do with slavery. you know, some politicians like in the profession of south carolina, they evoke states' rights in terms of sovereignty between the states. >> right. >> but now the federal government has won. that idea can't stand anymore because now they're having to be re-introduced. so, slavery is abolished and there's no sovereignty with the states. the federal government has impressed them. >> absolutely, very good. that's exactly why states' rights is somewhat discredited, that idea. first it had been used to defend slavery by southern states who didn't want the federal government to interfere with slavery. and second it was the

american states -- which prohibits us from interfering in the internal affairs of any other state and prohibits them as well. for me to have made such a statement would been in direct opposition to that treaty. now with regard to cuba, let me make one thing very clear. there isn't any question but that we will defend our rights. there isn't any question but that we will defend guantanamo if it's attacked. there also isn't any question but that the free people of cuba -- the people who want to be free -- are going to be supported and that they will attain their freedom. no, cuba is not lost, and i don't think this kind of defeatist talk by senator kennedy helps the situation one bit. mr. mcgee: senator kennedy, would you care to comment? mr. kennedy: in the first place i've never suggested that cuba was lost except for the present. in my speech last night i indicated that i thought that cuba one day again would be free. where i've been critical of the administration's policy, and where i criticized mr. nixon, was because in his press conference in havana in 1955, he praised the compete

spreading across 13 states as far north as alaska. at least 24 people have died and several more are missing. thousands of homes and businesses are destroyed. flames have scorched more than 7,000 square miles of land in california, oregon and washington state. hello, everyone. welcome inside america's news headquarters. i'm laura ingal, in for arthel neville. eric: good to have you with us this afternoon. i'm eric shawn. the fires sweeping up and down the west coast, reaching all the way to colorado. matt howard will join us in a moment to explain what the firefighters in his state are up against. but first, let's start live with fox news team coverage, meteorologist adam klotz has more on what the weather is doing. let's start with christina coleman, in california. we're learning that the president will be heading out west to see this for himself. >> reporter: yeah, the president will be coming to california to get a firsthand look at all of the damage. i am here -- he's going to be in northern california. i'm at the bobcat fire in s

just last week a hurricane slammed into louisiana, my wife's home state, and the state of alabama. at another one is getting ready to hit the texas coast. this summer, we had something called ar heard of into indianat cut and the ohio river valley, damaged or destroyed millions of acres of crops. winds were as high as 140 miles per hour. you look at the massive forest fires we have in the western states now, the smoke of which i saw this morning here in topeka. my question is this. there is likely going to be a lot of political pressure, mostly from the left, to mandate some changes to alleviate climate change. one of the proposals is a tax on beef, which they say is responsible for significant levels of methane. do either of you support this? marshall, one minute. sen. marshall: kelly, that is another example of both liberal left and their concepts, look, in the boy scouts we are taught to leave it better than we found it. that is my philosophy. my family night planted 20,000 trees and worked on wetland restoration. in congress i worked to encourage innovation conservation and tha

inside the united states. you've seen what we've done to those five in houston, and that's been going on a long time and said, well, too bad. goodness gracious, we have an open country they're going to spy and steal our stuff. we're not going to do that. the most important group we need to take the case for convince the american people of a threat and challenge and i think we've gone a long way into communicating transparently why it is the case tens of millions of jobs have been stolen through the chinese predatory in the test to the chinese predatory economic activity in the united states and cannot continue and that connects to the piece to your point, the international allies, i've spent my year and a half as director of the central intelligence agency and now coming on two half years as secretary of state all around the world. talking to them. not coercively, not threateningly, just data, just facts about what the chinese communist party is doing to their people and to their country, to the threats that o

they debate these in the states and the states run the elections and the states know what they need to do to ensh your that people can legally vote in those states. if we were to have a one size fits all mandate that every person on a voting roll is mailed a ballot. we know, in i state will tell you whatever the percentage is, there are millions of people that would be sent ballots that aren't on the rolls. for nefarious reasons, people move, people die. and los angeles county cited over a million and a half people illegally on their rolls in one county and wouldn't remove them until a judge finally forced this em to clean up their rolls. 28 million you've heard the numbers of ballots that justice peered. where they are, who knows. but again, is this the kind of environment we want? what we should be doing is working with the states to make sure they have the tools they need. we sent them over $100 million and they still have money to run safe and fair elections in person. many of them expanded opportunities, for voting in other ways as well. but just this idea that the federal gove

that is year-to-date in the state. three-point 6 million acres. 100 hundred 57,000 acres burned this time last year. three-point 6 million acres year to date. we are still struggling with 27 major fires and complexes. and tragically 23,000 people continue to be evacuated from their homes. 19,000 firefighters from all across the state and across the nation in general are working 24 seven to address these wildfire issues. 2400 engines as part of this mutual system that have been deployed. 26 people tragically lost their lives and 6400 structures have been destroyed. again i caution everyone on these numbers. the 26 fatalities and the 6400 structures are based upon what we have seen personally and witnessed. but by no stretch of the imagination do we think that this tells the entire story as we continue to get back in and people are able to repopulate and go back into those communities. it will determine the structure loss here at. everything that is destroyed. not just damaged. the number would be substantially higher if
