around the state. i would love to hear how your system works. mr. aguilar: nevada has 17 counties. you have reno and las vegas. we have one county in nevada right now which the county commission determined to go to paper ballots. you go, wha the heck are we doing? how did they make this decision? esmeralda county, which has 300 voters, it took eight hours to count. they do that entirely by paper, hand counting. how are they going to ensure accuracy and efficiency? you talk about my race which we are viewing as a margin race. we are going have to work are butts off. when you have 15,000 of those 30,000 voters determining the outcome of my race, this is a scary situation and we need to educate the public of the importance of accuracy, efficiency, timing. it could take days for those 31,000 ballots to be counted. the secretary of state's office is determining the regulations for what that looks like. we need to continue to watch what we are doing in this county. it goes back to challenges of, what do the

if you're going to talk about the us you would say these united states these united states. that sounds so weird to our ears, doesn't it? so when did these united states which she was used? well into the late 19th century. when did that become the united states? how did you get one country out of these various countries that were, you know various states? now it's important to remember apropos of this that and as we talk about the us constitution. that when the car that the united states has had two lives. i realize it's very easy to forget about the first life because it was pretty short. the first life of the united states was from roughly 1776 to roughly 1788 89. period of a decade and more that's when we were a confederation. then the united states change this government had a second life and it became a federation a federal republic and that's a really key distinction because when the country first started the we say the country but actually the states. all felt very different from one another. yes, they spoke the same language sorta kinda depending whether you're a ver

they go to state election officials for and every state should say to federal courts.k you can have our voter registration list, but a condition of you using our state voter registration list, is that when someone is excused for a jury duty in a federal court, you have to tell us that they have been excused because either they're not a us citizen or perhaps they have moved out of state and those are all things that states ought to be doing and many states are not doing on this issue responding to your question equally briefly. i want to get a couple of look. i live in new york city. our system is broken. just look at our last primary election for mayor which was a disaster. what is new york city doing it's expanding the right of non-citizens to vote in all municipal elections. this is a big problem because they wanted to take it further. there is no enforcement if you're a non-citizen on an illegal status if you register to vote and vote, there's no enforcement of that secondly. the majority of the democratic caucus in the house of representatives last year. voted to a

that you list the states, and the states create this. it isn't the people of the whole country, it's the creation of the states. but as long as it's creation of the states, and this is wilson thinking again, then in some way, it more or less comes back to this league of friendship, which is what the treaty, as gordon calls it, or the league of friendship as they called it at that time, the articles of confederation created a league of friendship, that there were 13 sovereign states linked together. but if you go back to the document i keep hammering on, the circular letter of the states, washington says we need a central government that is the final say in everything that is common to all of us. common to all of the states, which wouldn't be slavery, education, you can think of things it wouldn't be. but it would be international and interstate commerce, he makes that clear. he also says, this is in the visible, once you join you cannot get out. he says that in 1783, we need a central government which you can't leave. once you are in it'

defense of the united states floyd.ustin, moreover, the united states will institutionalize its participation in ukrainian conflict. and even i would say they are taking this institutionalization to a qualitatively new level within the framework of the ministry of defense. the united states intends to institutionally consolidate all of its military efforts on the ukrainian conflict into a single mission. the mother of this mission is the code name and appoint a specific general responsible for its implementation, that is, in fact, the ukrainian command of the united states armed forces is being created about the prospects of american policy regarding the ukrainian conflict. today we will talk with president of the center for national interests dmitry syme and gmo professor andronik migronyan dmitry andronik vsevich. good evening dmitry well, the biden administration constantly says that it intends to avoid escalation with russia , and therefore the biden administration refuses to give kiev tips. let's say long-range mis

by state.tty concerned, stateless go back to 2020, donald trump 56, joe biden 41. look at this part of the state here, you do have five counties here where joe biden did carry the state. so when you come back to the ballot initiative now and you look, it is the eastern part of the state largely the suburbs. again, i say this too many times, i'm like a broken record, but i say it because it's crew. the suburbs in americas decide elections. kansas is close, mostly elections in canvas are not close, the governor's race might be, but this is not that close as you count the rest of oats. 62% 30 to 38%, the citizens of kansas saying they do not want to open up their state constitution. it's a defeat for abortion opponents, it's a victory for abortion rights activists and democrats believe this is potentially a sign for them that they can motivate not only democratic base voters, but suburban republicans who might be more moderate, might be more opening, like they did when they ran away from tall trum

host: in 13 states, parents can select any public school, in 18 states, they are forced to participate in open enrollment, how has that changed over the years? guest: we have seen incredible changes in access to different types of schools over the past 30, 35 years. the modern day school choice movement began in 1990 in milwaukee, wisconsin. a small group of black parents worked together with democratic and republican lawmakers to create a program that would allow low-income families to access private schools for their kids who otherwise would not be able to afford those programs. in minnesota, in 19 92, public school teachers rallied with lawmakers created a public charter school. from there, we have seen an incredible growth in school choice options. more school districts are allowing open enrollment programs. it's the opportunity for a mom or dad to choose another traditional public school that might be outside their zone or district. in 13 states, there is unrestricted open enrollment. a parent can choose any public school within that state which is incredibly exciting. we have see

if you look at republican-led states, kids in republican-lead states were in school last year almostwice as many days as kids from democrat states. [applause] nebraska was the sixth-best state for kids and classrooms. nevada, number 42. and if you look at unemployment rates, if you look at the youngest unemployment rates right now in the nation, nine out of the top 10 best, lowest unemployment rates, a republican-led states. you will not be surprised to know that the bottom 10, 9 out of the top bottom 10 are democrat-let states. nebraska has the second-lowest unemployment rate in the country. nevada, the second-worst. conservative leadership matters. we kept kids in school, we kept people at work. and when it came to overall pandemic response, politico, not exactly a conservative news source, said it ranked nebraska the number one best state in the country. nevada, number 49. i mentioned that national bureau of economic research. nebraska got an a plus from them. we came out number two, next to utah. nevada in that survey, came up number 44. and what was interesting in that survey is

, and passed an all the states, and was only close in one of the states, west virginia.there was four points. so it had gone four for four over the last decade before roe v. wade was overturned. then roe v. wade was overturned, and now it pops up on the ballot in kansas for the first time in this changed political atmosphere. we know now know it's gonna win that no is gonna win and by a large margin. i think is gonna be a lot of fallout from this. i think especially on the pro-life side in terms of what they think the best way to proceed politically if they get this kind of rebuke in a state like kansas. as i mentioned as well, the other question that comes out of this, when you start looking at this if we are getting more numbers. we are getting more numbers here. places like johnson county, the biggest county in the state huge sprawling county, the kind of place where democrats have been doing better and better in recent years. there are a lot of counties like johnson county across the country. there are a lot of counties like johnson county in big 2022 swing states. p

united states., they seem to pour out their evil emotions. and that all this will not only get away with them, but all this will put them in the position of major international figures. i think they may be deeply mistaken in the process as well. uh, they will punish not only themselves, but not only ordinary citizens of russia, their current target, but they can quite likely, but also punish ordinary citizens of their countries, which, it seems to me, should not be impressed at all by provoking russia, and with you totally agree, dmitry and indeed in a number of cases the baltic countries, the leadership of the baltic countries, directly implement the policies of the united states. but in a number of cases they do the united states a disservice on one of the recent broadcasts. dmitry and i talked about the fact that lithuania, for example, switched, and sharply switched a to a russophobic anti-russian policy with the coming to power in lithuania of e valdas adamkus, a former citizen of the united st

all of these electors votes are sent to the united states. certified by the state.vist sends them to a joint meeting of congress. on january 6 by federal statute. why does he do that? if the election is over if the election is done at the president has been chosen why does he do that. because it is not done until congress says it is done. congress is the last check. not the courts, not the ballot boxes, congress. which is why jamie raskin one of the members of the january 6 committee objected to a republican president of one time. why, because he wanted to prevent a republican for being president. which is why the chairman of this committee bennie thompson objected once because he wanted to prevent a republican from being every member of the presidency. the system is built for objections, the system is built not to rubberstamp otherwise why and by congress at all. why congress voted on anything. why is congress certifying on anything because it's not over until congress says it is over. when people say trump was trying to reverse an election it is not over until con

and china and the united states. and the rest of the world really? so i think yes, i think this is, it goes and the students do contradict the one china policy do contradict official us policy statement. and i think perhaps this is more in fighting among the leaves in washington. when you talk about that in fighting, we have just heard from john kirby, the us whitehouse national security spokesperson. he's just stated in his briefing there, hello, see, quote, speak for herself. when talking about supporting taiwanese independence, you have been speaking about how this corresponds to the fact that the u. s. at his, with a one china policy. but what i'd like to ask you is that biden has said that he supports palo sees actions, apparently regarding independence of ty, one as well. so why do we hear such opposite us statements about ty, pay and see? that's the thing i think we've seen so many contradictory statements, whether it's from biden, whether it's from the pentagon, which has said that this is not a good idea. ev

if that is what we see across some states in the united states. they corral, they force local officers to cooperate with customs. it is very expensive. and does not yield anything in return. -- it does not yield anything in return appeared going after employers will have the same economic effect as going after the illegal immigrants because it will diminish their job opportunities and hurt them a lot economically. i hear a lot about going after employers, illegal immigrants, the end result, the goal is try to reduce wages and opportunities that they do not come to the united states. if economics is the key reason driving illegal immigration, how do you explain the rise and why we have so many asylum speakers these days? guest: a lot of it is because of the situation in this country. part of the other reason is because other legal avenues are so closed up to come to the united states lawfully, some people who might have come on a visa, other people have come unlawfully as workers realize they could get in easier if they make --. i am not going to d

at the state department. he leaves this post at the beginning of 1937, but he continues to speak out widely. about the dangers that hitler posed to your to europe and to the united states. in a speech at the harvard club in boston in 1938. dodd warns his audience at hitler is a megalomaniac who will plunge europe into war? and he emphasizes hitler's. hatred of the -- and he declares and this is a direct quote. hitler intends to kill them all again, dodd was extraordinarily prescient as to hitler's intentions and accurate as to the holocaust. president roosevelt's ambassador to italy was also appointed in 1933 his name is breckenridge long. and he hailed from the midwest. his ancestor was john breckenridge who had been vice president to one of our nation's most undistinguished presidents the 15th president of the united states james buchanan. breckenridge long was a graduate of princeton and a seasoned political operative who had run unsuccessfully for the senate. in missouri twice he become friends with frank

we don't have time to go state-by-state, but give us an overview of where states stand. >> there were 13 states that had trigger laws in effect that the law would immediately or soon after protect unborn children. another nine states have laws on the books that had never been repealed. so technically those could have gone back into effect. we had 18 states ready to protect unborn children as soon roe was overturned. we now have 10 states because we have some judges nor looking at constitutions, whether it is the federal or state constitution and pretending like it's the inkblots and a rorschach test. whatever you want it to be and it is. they are finding rights in the constitution to protect abortion, not unborn children. we have a large battle ahead of us. it's not just states. congress has a role. there are things they can be doing as well. i want to encourage everybody. we have to win the vote in november. if leaders like chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are in charge next year and have the votes, they will pass the women's health protection act so abortion is legal through the entir

this creates pushback within the state and in other states. although pennsylvania's influence shaped the vermont constitution, georgia also had unicameral assembly. pennsylvania's biggest influence in provoking a reaction in other states, were people who saw this democracy and wanted to slow it down. after this burst of constitution writing, there is a slow walk that happens in other states. things are really radical right now so let's wait a little while. this is john adams in massachusetts, and others are trying to slow walk things a little bit. the result of the slow walk, in a period of consideration. was the massachusetts constitution of 1780. it began in 1770. -- it was begun in 1778. john adams drafted this constitution. he had already written about what government should look like in a pamphlet that was responsive to common sense. adams was writing to try to assure people who were worried about the independents, that americans could create governments that can be orderly. they can have orderly republics. in this pamphlet of 76. but by

but when the united states stepped up to help, there was only really so much that the united states could do. changing these societies, changing the political parameters in these countries, is really up to the people within these countries. as an i point out my book faust on those people who rose up toward demanding rights and democracy. they were up against very, very powerful forces who were determined not to allow them to succeed. was very little that the united states could do in order to prevent that from happening. all that being said, and ever since president trump came to office, the united states has evinced very, very little official interest in supporting those voices around the region that want to live in were democratic and open countries. president biden spoke very forcefully about american values during his campaign in the early stages of his administration. but it's been mostly rhetorical. the administration has been precious little on the question, even just basic human rights. if you look at the repression that people are forced to endure around the region and how basica

my father went to school in the united states. i went to school in the united states. all of my siblings went to school in the united states. and what we do see, which is bizarre, and you and i have spoken about the u.s.-saudi relationship, and we have spoken about this, i think it is a foolish idea to think that the united states deal with china, trunk, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, that is when the conversation was had. today, there is no longer a conversation, right? you can have event like this and actually discuss it passionately. it will tell you the extent to which the chinese have changed, the technologies, etc. now, people in saudi arabia do seem frustrated with the way they are being portrayed in the united states, especially young people in saudi arabia, young women, like in "united states," -- "the new york times," the rating the outfits, the concert. hundreds of thousands of people go to school in america. dr. doran: sorry, just to make sure your point was clear to our listeners, you are seeing articles berating the artist for performing in saudi arabia? mr.

states. and if you look in the back, this is supposed to be an african-american student cleaning the windows. an indigenous student sitting at the back of the class and this is supposed to be representing a chinese student. we are already into exclusion of chinese immigration. so that's what it's referring to. this will sum it up what we'll talk about in this classroom. colonialism, so mason can you tell us what it is >> when the power uses the lesser power's resources to enrich the greater power. >> so nations that engage in colonialism are empires and that's what we're talking about today. last class we also talked about progressivism. we talked it as a movement to solve problems. what i'm talking about today is happening simultaneous to this. ok. simultaneous. so this is part of that progressive movement we were talking about and you'll see some of the same people we talked about last class. so these are presidents we're going to mention in this class and i listed them out here so you can

they are chartered by the states and incorporated by the states and the states give them charters so they can be legal corporations and that is, in itself, a deal that the u.s., that the state governments are making with groups of merchants. the deal is that the insurers get their corporation, which allows them to accumulate capital in a variety of convenient ways and pass bylaws that affect its members and what they're getting from the united states government is sort of this, what's the word? this endorsement from the government that says they are safe and secure and so then the insurers are doing all of these good things on behalf of the american merchant fleet in a way they're sort of repaying this bet that state governments have made on them. so, in general, american insurers that pay off, they make huge amounts of money during this uncertain period. they make money off the federal bonds that they invest in. they get political security from their charters. the legal regime is sort of formed in a way that suits their interest. and under a regime of relatively low taxation, americ

united states constitution. the theory is not grounded in history or logic but it has gained increasing following in some sectors of america over the last 20 years. it may include some current supreme court justices. the north carolina supreme court struck down the supreme -- gerrymandering of the state congressional district. relied on provisions of the state constitution as the basis for its decision. apply to all federal elections. here today to examine the legal theory to discuss the evidence or lack thereof supporting of it and perhaps more importantly to explore the consequences to american democracy that would ensue if the court endorses it, this topic may seem dry at times. all 50 states have administrators. some are elected, some are appointed. none are the state's actual legislature. professional, nonpartisan administration is a cornerstone of the modern american right to vote. depending on how the court resolves this upcoming case the entire apparatus could vanish overnight. at least for federal elect

to state. it is also true that every single state do have attorney general. there is an attorney general for you to work with no matter where you are. i would say to everybody listening, build a relationship with your attorney general. i used to be in congress and i know that sometimes but more and more, you will see in our states. we'll have to develop a stronger state sensibility but that does not mean we can't act nationally. we are acting nationally right now. so we coordinate on briefs a lot. the real thing is that you and i and others on this panel co-govern by being in a relationship with each other. we do a lot of criminal prosecution but we are the prosecution of last resort. meaning that the counties have first shot at what cases will be prosecuted. i am actually not the boss of the county attorney. they are individually elected on their own. so i have to work in partnership with them. we have a lot of civil jurisdiction and we represent all the state agencies. we have a lot of author

states where it is not.ts had urged mr. biden to do even more, but the white house defended his actions today. >> the president has been very clear that he's going to do everything that he can. it doesn't stop with this, but we also understand he can't be the only person working on this. that's why we asked congress to take action. stephanie: the president's event today was once again virtual. he tested positive for covid for a fifth day, after his infection rebounded over the weekend. nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan has ended, but the fallout continues. the speaker of the u.s. house of reprentatives met today with president tsai ing-when, before flying to south korea. in response, china said it's launching military exercises this week on all sides of taiwan, which it claims as a renegade province. we'll return to this later in the program. the u.s. began annual military drills with indonesia today, amid china's aggressive moves. australia, japan, and singapore are also taking part. more than 5,000 soldiers k

no state church. no taxes would be paid to support a state church, massachusetts retained a state church. so they offered religious toleration and the ability to practice religion but gave the state the right to compel people to attend particular kinds of public worship or to certainly through text local tax money support a particular church the congregational church the puritan church. and this remained true in massachusetts until 1820s. so the us constitution says the us will not establish a religion. federal government won't but it didn't stop the states from doing it. and in fact, there's some bills right now in some states to reestablish churches with to re-establish religion within states these things are this idea is being floated around to return to this and established religion. here adams actually was open to just saying christian. he had to be christians to be an office holder and the people in massachusetts wanted, you know present protestant present. so, you know the stats of catholics un

more restrictions are being implemented in state after state.lone anti-abortion , trigger laws went into effect in texas, tennessee, and idaho, and on saturday, oklahoma will increase penalties for doctors who perform illegal abortions for pregnant people to include a $100,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison. the texas anti-abortion "trigger law" that went into effect thursday makes it a felony to perform an abortion, also punishable by a $100,000 and up to life in prison. tennessee's similar "trigger law" has no exceptions for rape, incest, or fatal fetal anomalies. meanwhile, a trigger law set to take effect today in north dakota was blocked thursday in state court when a judge granted a preliminary injunction against the measure that makes it a felony to perform an abortion with limited exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or medical emergency. abortion access is now a key issue in the 2022 midterms, and many states report a surge in women registering to vote. this is president biden kicking of his midterm campaigning thursday night in mary

that the state department should do something if it is a bill then the state department is forced to act because we as managers of the state department's budget are calling it to action you are asking if it will take more time to pass the bill than the resolution potential yes, but we do not want to simply express our opinion, we want to force the state department to make this determination, because this is yet another way to isolate russia to cut their finances, which means less money to continue their war, this is our goal, our goal is to save ukrainian lives, and not just to announce the position of the united states regarding the reasons for recognizing russia as a state that sponsors terrorism, then they actually repeat the reasons described in the draft law without hesitation and you resolutions directly in this draft law mentions actions to support tourism activities that russia is taking both on the territory of ukraine and in chechnya and in syria, and it also mentions the creation of wagner's group of mercenaries about attempts to assassinate the president of ukraine, volod

the states. well, it is where it should be. it has been turned over to the states and the people of each state will be able to vote on what their issue is and how they believe it should be. unfortunately, kansas has five counties that really control the state. we have 105 counties in kansas and about five counties controlled the state because most of kansas is very rural. host: i was going to ask you if you are surprised by the results there this week? caller: not really. all of the polls suggested that there was a five-point lead for the yes vote and it turned out to be pretty far off when it ended up being 59% voted no for the amendment. everybody seems to think that kansas is such a red state when in reality, we have had more liberal governors than republican governors. this boat tells me where kansas really lies as far as red and blue goes. host: did you vote yourself on the amendment? caller: absolutely and i voted yes. i think abortion is wrong. it is being used as a convenience to get rid

five states, one of them just getting a call and that is the senate race in the state of missouri. eric schmitt will win that republican primary. this is the seat, remember, of retiring roy blunt, a republican. this state leans republican, but this was a massive win for schmitt. you'll remember former president trump had that endorsement that really perked everybody's ear he said i endorse eric, there were two erics, eric greitens and eric schmitt. eric schmitt took that endorsement. look at all the yellow throughout the state. if you dip into a couple counties, st. louis county, look at this lead, 58% to his nearest challenger, vicky hartzler. if you just go up here, saint charles county, again, 56%. and then lincoln county, 48%. in some of these counties just a complete blowout. so this was predicted to be very close at one point. this is not close at all for this, so it's a big win for eric schmitt. on the democratic side, it is a bit more of a race, bush valentine versus kuntz. we don't know yet, 56% in, but, again, this senate seat leans towards the republicans heading into th

yes sir, this will be rolling through the states through kind of all the states. there are few democratic says here where he said this is not going to happen. there won't be any referendum. and they are democratically controlled by democrats, of course. but you can assure our can assure the deep south of the united states as well as other west midwest states will have that same procedure, maybe not a, a vote constitutional but conservative politicians trying to change the law. busy and push this through their legislature looking ahead to november the mid term elections president biden gave a prediction. we'll take a listen combat you. what is the case in a powerful saying that this for the american people go to preserve protector, right? and refusal that can be ripped away by politicians and my administration has their back 7 simons, that does the president have a point? is this likely to be an issue? it's got to be an issue, a 100 percent guarantee it. it has to be an issue and he is why? because the democrats actually hoping that it will working on that it becom

we know kansas as a red state, a conservative state but it does have competitive house races.hat kansas city area where the power or the suburban voters are swing voters and will be really watched closely this fall. how motivating abortion can be. people really see this as a first test case. >> motivation, i imagine and also how people end up voting in a race like this. >> definitely. the important thing to watch, too, obviously in the fall elections people won't be voting on just abortion, obviously. they will be voting on the economy and inflation and other matters but still, very interesting test case. >> it will be a big test case but actually voting against abortion rights was often a one issue vote for republican voters. we'll see if the same holds for democrats. thanks so much to both of you. >>> well, right now one of the tallest buildings in taijuan is broadcasting a welcome message for who? the house speaker nancy pelosi. her expected visit to taipei today sparked back and forth threats between chinese and u.s. officials. we'll go live to taijuan right after the brea

the republicans say this is now going to be decided state by state by state. but make no mistake about it. if the republicans gain control of the united states house of representatives and the united states senate, they will put an abortion ban right away, a national abortion ban. and so i think all of these fights state by state are incredibly important. they're important to show the republican party that they are against where the majority of people are in this country. more and mover of course you hear horrific stories of what women and families are facing, unable to get basic health care and access to reproductive health care. this is not what people want. people do not want government in charge of pregnancy in this country. they think that should be up to people who are pregnant. the republican party's on the wrong side of history. and i think they're going to pay the price this november. >> well, in fact, senator chris murphy was just tweeting about that, that this might inspire more action, more rapid action on a federal ban in congress, something i kno
