as a state by statute. and what we have here today is a simple question -- is anybody in this room believe that if lubbock, texas, had been set up as the capital seat of the united states of america that my colleagues and others on the other side of the aisle would be arguing to give it the position of statehood? no. of course not. this city was set up by the founders to be the capital seat of the united states of america. it was not set up to be a state. and when my friends said that every other state has been added

we broadened that state wide. we had specific language updated in that guidance we put out last week as it relates to out-of-state travelers and put up guidelines as it relates to travelers, those seeking to join conventions in this state and requirements around vaccinations and testing. the concern is real. we maintain strict guidelines in that space. and we will continue to monitor based upon what's actually happening. not what we want to happen, but actually what is truly occurring in real-time. >> hi mayor, megan from the chronicle. come april 15th, will the supply be able to meet the demand for vaccines and will people be able to sign up early before april 15th to get the vaccine? the second question is, i know alameda county previously said they aren't able to take over the coliseum by sunday. will the state be leading the effort or? >> fema -- thank you for the question. i really want to clear this once and for all. the site will continue to operate. fema will continue to provide the support. they have been

however we already have 43 states with early voting, 21 states with same-day registration, 19 states with automatic voter registration. 45 states that allowed all voters to cast ballot by mail last year. in 2018 michigan approved many changes to its election procedures that went into effect before the november 2020 election. would you agree that states like georgia and others have been able to implement these changes in a correct way without a problem? ms. abrams: absolutely. chair durbin: senator cornyn. senator cornyn: my first question is for ms. abrams. ms. abrams, is the georgia election law that speaker jones talked about, is it a racist piece of legislation? ms. abrams: i think there are components of it that are racist because they use racial animus as a means of targeting the behaviors of certain voters to limit their participation in election. senator cornyn: you believe that the georgia legislature made deliberate attempts to suppress the minority vote? ms. abrams: yes. senator cornyn: georgia has a no-excuse absentee voting provision in that law. as mrs. jones said in her

there are going to be new lines in four states. six states have at-large members are they don't draw a district lines. the other 44 states will get together and draw new maps. that will matter over the long run. the numbers we got yesterday were statewide numbers. we know who will gain a seat. we don't yet know the data that will tell us where those seats actually go and how the balance of power shifts. it is going to shift and not just in the state for gain or lose seats. host: how many states have required an independent commission or source to do their legislatures? guest: i should've counted before we went on air. the number has grown in recent years. new mexico just past an advisory council that will create this and they would could tinker with the legislature if they want. that was the big trend of redistributing in the last decade. they want to create as many of these new districts as possible to draw the lines out of the state legislatures. looking at where either party controls the redistricting process, it is clear republ

about 30 state joint, texas, north carolina, blue states, red states, members of this so we can objectivelylean up our voter rolls and she said were doing it too arbitrarily but that did not withstand the scrutiny of the court and in 2019 looming it follows the standard practice in many other states. >> you raise the question of whether people can trust our elections or are worried that people are starting to distrust them, candidates in particular. i don't think this is just a policy question but can you discuss some of the policy questions or election and meditation questions around having a good recount, having a good transparent, quick resolution on the election and honestly we had any election run during covid in that pose more problems but may be more generally and i can think back to 2000 and of course, 2000 election was very famous recount and frankly, i think states after the fact did not think enough about their recount processes or accounting processes and opening them up to the public so what do you say about what you would do or what you are doing that reassures people through

no united states participants. no united states government airplanes of any kind. these two plans to the best of our knowledge, were castro zone air force planes and according to the pilots, they took off from his own air force fleet. -- castsro's own. it has the marking of the castro air force on the tail was everybody can see for themselves. >> one of the plans is at eight miami airfield. it is identified as a b 26. castro's b 26 is have no nosedive. the pilot is identified to menus paper picture as a member of the brigade. the extra key to parted was intended to destroy castro's air force. tomorrow planned. castro has been dealt a serious blow but his entire air force has not been destroyed. the crucial part is free trainers are -- three jet trainers are untouched. >> the airstrike has humiliated the united states before the world. it has humiliated this man who do not know what he told the u.n. was not the truth. the unit states reacts to the outcry of the bombing. the other two airstrikes are postponed. this decision leaves castro with three on damaged jets. t

and to the president of the united states.r the surgeon general briefly outline the work of the public health service. >> although the first responsibility for public health rests upon the states and localities in our country, the federal government, through the public health service, does much to prevent disease and to improve the health of all the people. this is done in many ways. one very skilled group of men and women, of disease and means of preventing it. other officers guard the ports to prevent introduction of disease from abroad. others have the duty of preventing and halting the spread of infections within our own territory. under the provisions of the recently enacted social security act, the public health service is cooperating with every state and territory in the development in those states and territories of a national health program. this cooperative work between the federal, state and local governments should provide new standards for the people. in addition, the manufacture of all serums and vaccines sold in

is it the states preference that i exclude the second alternative? >> your honor, i believe the court definition of assault didn't include assault fear only harm. it said intentional bodily harm of another, attempt to inflict bodily harm upon another so while the state believes that it is duplicated there would be a different standard. here this is an assault harm case so the general intent. >> just wanted to clarify that. next point. >> third, with respect to the definition of superseding cause in the instruction the state proposed adding incentives on superseding the cause based on the probable cause order on page 45 and 4:35 northwest second to 1989 in the supreme court case and the state requested the language of superseding cause intervening conduct must be the sole cause of death and it's my understanding the court is taking that issue under advisement. fourth, the state recommended the modification of the disregard in light of the supreme court's decision. coleman held the third degree murder has a mental state requirement with disregard but d

in two or more different states in order to create a different state without those states permission. so that clause is certainly implicated as well by maryland's grant to the federal government. and then we have also heard the argument that, again, 37 previous times in our nations history, new states have been admitted by congress, under their power that was provided to them in article four, section three of the constitution. and again, i know the professor also mentioned puerto rico. puerto rico would be a separate take. if puerto rico wanted to become a member of our union, 51st or 52nd state, that process would be governed by the article four, section three admissions process. it's important to keep in mind that the district of columbia is unique. no other entity, no other state in its existence reports like the district of columbia does, which poses its distance to the district clause. so this brings us to the practical reasons why making the district of columbia would potentially be problematic. i don't think anyone really disputes that the founding fathers, at the time, that t

for nearly 20 years the united states has been fighting in afghanistan making it not only a forever war but a forgotten war it was meant to make sure that the government of afghanistan which was run by the taliban at the time wouldn't be able to give safe haven to al qaeda again after the attacks of $911.00 but here we are 2 decades later with the taliban out of power but still a significant force in afghanistan late last year the taliban and the united states were very very close to a major summit in camp david when everything fell apart at the last minute former president set a deadline for the withdrawal of the last few 1000 american troops for this may but president biden doubts that's going to happen so what's keeping us leaders from ending this forever war joining me to figure this out is stephen walt professor of international relations at harvard university and one of america's leading political scientists he coauthored the israel lobby with john mearsheimer in 2007 and most recently wrote the hell of good intentions america's foreign policy elite and the decline of u.s. primacy

a foreign state, then every state is a foreign state and we're an indian law court because every tribe is going to sue for something or other and we will have to act as a trial court. it may well have been that concerned with caseload that motivated him. baldwin was a jackson appointee. we will learn more about baldwin momentarily. but he just didn't believe in any of this. he didn't think much of tribes. marshall and john maclaine came up with a third path here. marshall ends up writing an opinion, which he calls the opinion of the court, although it's only really joined by himself and one other guy, john maclaine, another jackson appointee. and what marshall says is the cherokee nation are a state, but they are not a foreign state. they are something different. they are, and this is his phrase, a domestic dependent state, or he used the phrase domestic dependent nation. well, what does that mean? he says, well, it's like this. they are not entirely free standing. their relationship, and i'm quoting now, to the united states resembles that of a ward to his guardian. and this will be t

we're welcome to the united states. they were accepted under what is called parole power which allowed the united states to accept refugees and circumvent its own immigration laws, which at this time. if you recall were pretty restrictive. throughout much of the cold war the executive branch used the loophole in immigration law the parole power to admit refugees when it deemed that it was in the national interest to do so. most of those refugees admitted were fleeing the left or fleeing left wing or communist regimes. finally in 1959 cuban exiles began to arrive. the first cubans who arrived were batista sympathizers who were feared reprisals from the castro government? for the first time because of cuba's proximity to the united states. the united states was a country of first refuge meaning refugees didn't go to another country and then apply for resettlement in the united states. they went straight to the united states. especially to places like miami the policy for cuban refugees at this time was such that these ref

the united states of america.at happens to the cherokee nation if we side with the confederacy that has split from the united states? what are the consequences? the confederacy did a great deal of courting of the cherokees. they offered essentially a better deal. it didn't help anything that the united states wasn't really keeping a lot of its promises during this time period. i don't know if you can imagine that, the united states and indian tribes, but it happened. and so the government of the cherokee nation, wanting to remain neutral, was feeling a great deal of pressure from people who said, look, the united states is not really living up to its word and it looks like these southerners may have an edge and the southerners are offering us so much. they're offering us treasure and land and control. maybe we have a better deal with that. and so the folks who largely decided with the confederacy sort of lined up with stan whitey. now, stan whitey lines up with the treaty party and ross, of course, lines up with t

it was a failure of united states policy, which led to a failure of united states power. clear lethe united states had the naked power to destroy castro, but it could not ignore world opinion and use this power. it could not risk the repercussions that might follow the slaughter of cubans and the occupation of cuba by united states forces. could not risk the possible escalation to nuclear war. one alter negative that suggested itself was indirect intervention carried out secretly under cia supervision. the cia solution was a carefully controlled military operation. it ignored for the most part the underground inside cuba, which could not be controlled. left wing former castro supporters considered politically unreliable were shutoff from participation. no real effort was made to bring about an up rising of the cuban people. the divided and mercurial cuban exile leaders were felt to be undependable and all real control was taken out of their hands. the cia put its faith in the brigade. small, politically reliable, controlled by united states agents. an attempt was made to

castro seizes more united states property.ow, in the summer of 1960, the united states and cuba have reached the point of no return. in washington, the eisenhower administration is now convinced it is in the united states national interest to get rid of fidel castro. at this moment in guatemala, a cuban exile army is being created by the cia. a cuban exile air force with b-26 bombers. they are the instruments with which the cia plans to overthrow fidel castro. havana, summer 1960. fidel castro admits publicly for the first time there is unrest inside cuba. counterrevolutionary activity. among his opponents now is his former minister of public works, manuel rai, leader of the mrp. >> the mrp was highly organized and well extended over the whole country. our organization reached almost every section of cuban life. civic institutions, professional organizations. labor youth. the militia. the army. and we have people inside of fidel castro's pockets. narrator: the mrp operates in the cities. it is an underground movement specializ

he stated this. the senate again stood firm in the 1937 court-packing plan by president franklin roosevelt. this particular example of senate resolve is instructive for today's debates, so let me describe it in some detail. it was the summer of 1937, and president roosevelt had just come off a landslide victory over alf landon, and he had a congress made up of some solid new dealers, but the old nine men of the supreme court were thwarting his economic agenda, overturning law after law overwhelmingly passed by the congress and from the state houses across the country. in this environment, president roosevelt unveiled his court-packing plan. he wanted to increase the number of justices on the court to 15, allowing himself to nominate these additional judges. in an act of great courage, roosevelt's own party stood up against his institutional power grab. they did not agree with the judicial activism of the supreme court, but they believed that roosevelt was wrong to seek to defy established traditions

for the state program, they have a state contractor that's reviewing those. if it meets a certain guidelines, it goes through the system. if it meets those thresholds around income, then the assistance will be distributed that way through the state program. and so it's the same amount of funding, but the screening methodology is different and the scale is different in that space. for us right now, it is waiting for the acceptance on the part of the board for the $26 million and that will allow us to stand up the program because we'll have the funding to distribute through rental based funding assistance. >> supervisor chan: great. i think that's where we are too. the reason we're having this hearing today and would like it for to be sent for recommendation to the full board as a committee report and also knowing that they grant resolution is coming before the budget committee on wednesday. so we would just like to state opposition before that we move forward and accept the grant and the $26 million. if i may, would it be all right if i go ahead and make the m

practice in the united states. consider two milestones that the death penalty has reached or that abolition of the death penalty penalty has reached in the united states in the last few months. president biden is the first president ever elected on an anti-death penalty platform, and virginia, where i'm sort of speaking right now, is the first state ever to repeal the death penalty, just waiting for the governor's signature. it will pass and become the 23rd state to abolish the death penalty. moreover, virginia is the state that has executed the most people ever, so those are two milestones, but they only represent the most recent phenomenon in the death penalty's dramatic decline in the united states and in the world. for example, in the modern era of capital punishment, since the 1970's when the death penalty was temporarily abolished and then reinstated in 1976, the modern era high of executions reached 98 in 1999, whereas in the year 2019, that number was down to 34, and 18 in the covid year of 2020. moreover,

but there, the state secretary of state part on the redundancy, checked signatures for fraud. that doesn't seem to be anything like narrow tailoring, if that is what we are implying. it seems to me, as the chief justice pointed out, but mccutcheon is different from what we have been doing under exacting scrutiny. under your theory of the case, doe should not survive. attorney: we think that doe is categorically in opposite, specific to the electoral context, the court said so. justice: if that were the case, then doe did not have to go through its analysis, you would have just said it is electoral. yet it went through it. buckley itself says that the naacp's exacting scrutiny was something different than the least restrictive means of doing something. attorney: justice sotomayor, we think you could stop short of requiring the least restrictive alternative even in this context and still reach the same result. justice: let me go to everything you're saying about california. isc in that the vast majority of charities are not involved in fraud. you are seeming to assume that the n

louisiana is an important energy state. the administration has made a number of different moves from the trump administration. to remind you and the audience about some of those the president has announced since he was sworn in on january 20, he has rejoined the paris climate agreement, he has revote the keystone -- accelerated the transmission of clean energy and conserving at least 30% of federal land and oceans, trying to double the offshore wind production by 2030. these announcements and decisions made so far by the president. what has been your reaction so far? guest: it is sort of a mixed bag. some of the things to promote renewable energy, absolutely. some of the efforts to distort or intentionally sandbag our conventional energy resources is a big mistake. there is one country in the world that has reduced emissions more than the next 12 emission reducing countries combined. let me say that again. there is one country in the world that has reduced emissions more than the next 12 combined. it is the united states. w

louisiana governor john bel edwards gave his state of the state address in baton rouge, addressing his government's response to the coronavirus pandemic and vaccine distribution. >> good evening everyone. mister speaker, mister president, lieutenant governor billy [inaudible] and members of the legislature. distinguished guests. and all of my fellow with cnn's. i am honored to be speaking to you today from the campus of southern university and i want to thank you, president rate built-in, for your hospitality and to your entire team for helping to put this event together following current covid-19 mitigation measures. i also want to thank you for sharing your campus with the public as the hub for drive-through testing and vaccinations. your efforts have been nothing short of tremendous. and in fact just this weekend, the southern university system administered over 1000 vaccinations. thank you so much [applause] you know, today, the bleachers are bare. but one day soon, if more people continue to get vaccinated, and we hold down the transmission of the virus, we are certainly going to

states and conservative states will say they had been treated fairly, showing they have good ideas but never fudging on the essential consumer protection on guidelines deck up hottie's year job in that regard? >> thank you for the question and your leadership and ensuring that states had an option of applying for waivers to think about ways to improve upon the affordable care act. as you said, the federal government does not have a monopoly on good ideas and instead, some of the best ideas that are eventually enacted in washington start at the state level. it started waivers, through demonstrations and there are so many people look for the best way to cover their population. there's so much variety in our great country. i see the role of the federal government in granting waivers as being a trusted partner with the states who have a great deal response building across the medicaid program and in many states, there marketplaces and markets and when they understand what the rules are to have consistent guidance, and to make sure they are meeting the standard, that i set for us in the law

it was a failure of united states policy, which led to a failure of united states power. clearly the united states had the power to destroy castro. but he could not ignore world opinion and views. they could not risk the repercussions that might follow the slaughter of cubans. and the occupation of cuba by united states forces. they could not risk the possible escalation to nuclear war. one alternative had suggested, was in direct intervention. carried out secretly under cia supervision. the cia solution was a carefully controlled military operation, and it ignored for the most part the underground inside cuba. which could not be controlled. left-wing, former castro supporters, considered unreliable, were shut off from participation. no real effort was made to bring about an uprising of the cuban people. the mercurial exiled cuban leaders said control was taken on their hands. the cia, put its faith in the brigade. small politically reliable, and controlled by the united states navy. and attempt was made to use the brigade, and as an instrument of united states policy. it

it's really each state joins, 30 states now, florida, texas, georgia, north carolina, blue states, red states, [ inaudible ], so we can objectively clean up our voter rolls. she said we were doing it arbitrarily but that did not withstand the scrutiny of the court. the ruling says we're following the standard practice of many other states. >> you raise the question of whether people can trust our elections or that you're worried that people are starting to distrust them, candidates in particular. i don't think this is just a policy question, but can you discuss some of the policy questions, election administration questions around having a good recount, having a good, transparent, quick resolution of the election? obviously we had an election run under the covid pandemic, that posed more problems. but maybe more generally, we think back to 2000, of course the 2000 election was a very famous recount. and frankly, i think states after the fact didn't think enough about their recount processes, their counting processes, and opening them up to the public. what can you say about what you ca

state of georgia. so far in a recorded conversation to say 5000 dead people voted. he replied only two that they could find and it was to too many. but can you comment on the 2020 election? was there voter fraud as president trump alleged? >> i am here to discuss senate bill 202 not to go over the 2018 election in which my former colleague stacy abrams never conceded. no or am i here to relegate 2020. i can say the bill does increase accessibility for seven counties with two saturdays of voting. . . . . thn is i'm trying to understand the logic behind new voting laws which would give less time to request absentee ballots, strict new id requirements for absentee ballots, illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballots and the like. in light of the 2020 election, i believe mr. rothman's burgers spoke the truth, and there certainly is no evidence to suggest otherwise when he suggested the election in 2020 following the old law was absent any major voting fraud and should not be questioned in t

anything else from the state? >> mr. frank, you have addition al points? if you would. >> we had, your honor, i think we'd also addressed just a couple of minor factors that are more typos, i won't go into, but we did talk about editing some language out of the prior incident instructions to the-- just the instruction of the court had previously given the jurors about the may, 2019 incident to give that as the court had previously given it. >> and that's going to happen. >> and we also discussed not including the instruction about essentially what is the circumstanceal evidence standard of review. we opposed that instruction, any instruction of that type. >> as long as we're on the record, i wanted to make it clear that i've already decided that and i'm not granting the defense motion to include the, you know, reasonable rational inferences, if there are alternatives they have to choose the one consistent with innocent. that is a standard on appeal and even on appeal it's my understanding of the law it applies only when an element of the crime is proven so
