consider them as acting in concert with the state to ep force a state-preferred policy? mr. stone: two points, your honor. first, every tort action undoubtedly advances a state preferred policy. the reason why they're not acting in concert with or cannot be called agents -- justice thomas: well, but usually, when you think of traditional torts, there is a duty, there's an injury to the individual. it's a private matter. there is no requirement here that there be an injury to the plaintiff. mr. stone: your honor, the texas supreme court has followed article iii requirements in terms of injury in fact that doesn't need to appear on the face of the statute. justice thomas: so what would that injury be under s.b. 8, if it's an injury in fact? mr. stone: one example could be akin to the injury suffered in the tort of outrage, where an individual becomes aware of a non-compliant abortion and they suffer the sort of same extreme emotional harm. that would ground an article iii injury for purposes of texas law that would be sufficient to satisfy the texas article iii-style scree

other states have a joint function of the commissions and the state legislatures. are these independent commissions really independent? do they result in fair apportionment, or is a result a mixed bag depending on the state? >> i will say mixed bag but somebody can argue with me. they are the gold standard but they don't have some of the issues as far as counterbalancing it. who thinks it is fantastic? >> it depends how you define the commission. >> what is the worst? >> new jersey. new jersey is up there. >> ohio. >> -- >> they are bipartisan commissions that are closely tied to the political process where people have -- sometimes they are legislators themselves were directly appointed by people. ither the more independent commissions like california where you have to write five essays if you want to be in the district in before three auditors. it is a 90 minute interview. lawmakers are not as directly involved in selecting people. the data is limited. california's commission has drawn one set of maps. arizona's commission is in operation longer. the first round e

it's the united states versus the autocracies, united states versus russia and china. and the purpose of the summit is to current try and create a start contrast between those 2. the i utilized vision america versus the overly propagandized. a pitcher that we've painted about the, you know, the evil nature of a russian and chinese rule. it's, it's purely a propaganda ploy. i don't think i'm 60. yeah, let me go to alexa here in moscow. i guess, you know, it's, it's, it creating some kind of global alliance against russia against china. i guess also hungry hungry didn't get invited. ok. oh, and you know, at the same time ukraine was there, i suppose it's there because of the u. s. was behind a coup that over through the democratically elected government in february of 2014, so conveniently, they made it on board here. i say this is just a farce. this is a propaganda after here. and it countries have interests. they don't necessarily have values. it values and interests coincide. that's great. but values are do not ra rule. they never have and they never will on, in inter

this happens at all 50 states. some states, less than others. some states we know are notorious for voter fraud. i give you chicago and philadelphia and places along the texas border. what we have is a situation in which people either believe the spin they are hearing from folks like mr. roberts or they believe their own common sense. it makes common sense that there is more fraud than we detect for the following reason. there are lots of insider trading in the stock market. we know that. we have a small securities and exchange commission that tries to catch some people. make examples of them and discipline them to vent others from doing that. it is that mean they catch all of the. it means we have determined -- we have to terrence -- detteren ts. it is not a priority, it has become complete racialized. any time anyone accuses anyone of being -- committing voter fraud, they are labeled as a racist. prosecutors do not make this a priority. when we look for it, we find it. whether it is the congressional investigation a few years ago, they found o

, germany has 16 states, in total. most of them were established after the 2nd world war, with the founding of the federal republic of germany. in 1949. after german reunification in 1990, they were joined by 5 new states, paul, of which had belong to the former east germany, mecklenburg, western pomeranian brandon bog. saxony on hold for india and saxony. each german state has its own characteristics, 3 of them. berlin, hamburg, and bremen, our city states. the others are geographically defined, states yet differ according to their size, population density, and cultural and landscape features. so while destinations do travellers had fall when visiting germany the varia with its state capital munich, continues to be the number one choice of visitors to germany, even if their numbers have orland due to the corona virus pandemic. before cov at 19 struck, bavaria welcomed almost 21000000 people. in 2020 the states still accommodated some 7100000 foreign visitors. with the reason why people are drawn to bavaria are pretty

since today's hearing is also about the state of the state department, we must address the department's role in the hazardous withdrawal from afghanistan. despite the administration's efforts to put afghanistan in the rearview mirror, it remains a pressing national security concern for the senate and for the american people. it's been over a month since secretary blinken appears before this committee, and we have yet to receive the secretary's responses to our questions for the record that the were propounded at that time. this is an unacceptable delay, and we expect better responsiveness from the department, which they've always promised but have never executed on. on the issue of continued evacuations, in september, secretary blinken assured us that there were just 100 americans remaining in afghanistan that wished to depart -- 100. just last week, however, the team responsible for continued evacuations of americans told us that they were working on over 170 americans who wished to depart, for more than 360 americans who remain there. and the list is growing. i want to make note and a

since the 1960s, all the southwestern states, upper basin states and lower basement states have grown, and more demands of that water. when they're whether we're talking about new mexico, arizona, nevada, california, colorado. so, how we deal with this conundrum with i'm change is really the issue at hand. i have long sought and i want to ask my question to mrs. trujillo that we've got to use all the water tools in the water tool box. in california we get water from a number of different sources. one of the primary sources is the colorado river basin. ms. trujillo, how does investment in our water infrastructure, including the entire western states, impact our water supplies and resilience to climate change? >> thank you. thank you congressman. the meeting comes from your guy so we've got it figured out -- >> as long as -- we don't take away those ten seconds you are muted. >> that's a deal. thank you, representative costa for your leadership on these issues. from the federal perspective, the investments absolutely make a difference with respect to the water supplies. there is a stron

, many states some states would be able to do that, even if you prevail under your view? >> that's consistent with our view. it's one that allows all interests to have full voice and many of the abortions we see in certain states that i don't think anybody would think would be moving to change their laws in a more restrictive direction. >> thank you. >> thank you, your honor. >> justice barrett? >> i have a question that is a little bit of a follow-up to one that justice breyer was asking you. that's arts stare decisis and a lot of cole low question has been about the benefits which i don't think anyone disputes and, of course, no one can dispute because it's part of our dock crin, there are some circumstances in which overruling is possible. we have plessy/brown, bowers versus hardwick. but in thinking about starry decisis, the core of this case, how should we be thinking about it? >> justice breyer pointed out in casey some respects it was a different conception of stare decisis in so far as it explicitly took into account public reaction. is that a factor that you acce

of the state . if that didn't work, they would like to serve in the region, start to see them be able to stay in yugoslavia and then they got their 3rd option which was ok will be in the home, isn't the session is most now, but now they can't even have this so they're essentially threatening to ignore the someone colonial power and even break away unless you stop undermining the agreement, which the claims it's trying to hold. so obviously most goes away and it's the mounting wanted scolding effectively. use colonial mentality in this whole project . so it's a big question, what can be done at this point? i mean, you can only use the search and the russians have undermining the agreement, but they're the main ones refusing to implement that. so it's, it's a very weird conflict to have, especially for the european so you can charge that. you can't really bother not trying to just keep trying doing the problem things because the very predicate is, is something that can come to fruition because you hav

made throughout the state. as noted in the state rail plan, $20 billion for california rail project is needed through 2027 and 119 billion through 2040. we have already delivered more than $4.7 billion since 2014 for projects benefitting inner city rail but only --. wide variety of programs. local sales tax measures. state rail assistance program by california and other competitive programs. a few weeks ago my agency issue ad call for project for the up come gd round of grants from the transit and inner city rail capital program tircp. this program funds rail and transit capital projects that reduce emissions, vmt and congestion. since 2015 we have awarded 5.8 billion with a total value of over 26 billion. we are also leading the nation in transitions from zero emission inner city rail by 2035. the state budget includes $3.9 billion to accelerate the zero emission vehicle goals, and already -- renewable diesel to the entire fleet and also zero emission train sets using hydrogen fuel cells and electric batteries

the united states. so that's going to help drive down the trade deficit. there's a lot of work to do. you know, boeing has not had a water from china in 5 years. so just by far the largest aviation market. so there's a lot of bilateral trade that could happen on a potential thought. now, however, the issues in the east trying to see, so trying to see what is, is kind of putting those kinds of things on hold. but you know, we will see is 2022 develops. if we're going to move into more of a falling in the relationship or it's just going to continue, continue to ratchet up up into a war 40. you've been the only one that's been right of all of the analysts on china for the last 101520 years. fortunately, you have been a friend of kaiser for and we've owned, we've been the only outlet that has called it right. most us media has said for the past 1015 years, they've had the likes of kyle bass on. and even worse than him in terms of getting it wrong, is that they've kept on saying like it's collapsing, it's co

to the granite state, to the live free or die state. a very clear message to president biden and the democrats in congress. keep your hands off the american people's paychecks. we want our freedom. and a boundless american future. and it's not theoretical. during our four years of the trump/pence administration, we showed what it takes to get this free market economy rolling. under the leadership of president donald trump. we cut taxes across the board. for working families and small farms. we rolled back more federal regulation in four years than any administration in american history. we made america energy independent for the first time in 70 years. and we fought for the kind of free and fair trade that puts american jobs and american workers first. and in our first three years, 7 million jobs created and wages rose at their fastest pace in more than a decade. [applause] amazing. household income sorted to a new record. unemployment plummeted to a 50 year low. maybe most meaningful to us, we had the lowest unemployment ever recorded

than people who reside in the state. this creates the potential for our citizens' votes to be diluted. l.a. county had over 1.5 million ineligible people on their voter rolls. a suit filed by a nonpartisan watchdog alleged that l.a. county had 112% of its adult citizens registered to vote. under pressure, california and l.a. county finally agreed to clean up their voter rolls in 2019. but unfortunately when then-california secretary of state padilla appeared before my committee in 2020, he could not confirm that many of those inhe ineligible people had been removed from california's unmaintained voter rolls. not a lot of faith that california's doing everything it can to protect the integrity of our elections. and then there's new york city. which just decided to allow nearly a million noncitizens to vote in city elections. new york can make its own bad decisions, but it's our job to ensure that we protect federal elections. common sense will tell that you combining noncitizens and eligible american voters on same voter

is this -- you think this is a coordinated effort with the united states? >> i'll put this quite simply, the more iran demonstrates a lack of seriousness at the negotiating table, the more unity there is among the p 5 pus one, and the more they will be exposed as the isolated party in this negotiation so really the ball is iran's court as to whether it wants to show skpup demon -- up and demonstrate whether it's going to be serious or not. >> looking forward to the meeting with president zelensky later this week, are there any steps and compromises ukraine might be able to make to find a way to end this peacefully? >> i mentioned before, we're in constant contact with levels of government. secretary blinken spoke with president zelensky yesterday, i'm not going to characterize the specifics of the proposals, but they have come forward with constructive ideas to move diplomacy forward. we're encouraging that. those are steps they are taking, and we're asking the united states to support them in trying to get towards a cease fire and ultimately get down the t

egypt turned to the united states and israel all right -- always depended on the united states. it is generally second, a bad idea for presidents to tie themselves up for almost twl weeks personally negotiating because if they failed that is an enormous blow to their bank credibility. he was indispensable without his constant presidents -- presence, without drafting 22 peace agreements. contrast that with john kerry, the secretary of state in 2015 when he didn't have the full engagement of president obama or bill clinton. what does he do in the middle of camp david? he goes to the g7 summit and flies back. doesn't propose his own draft until the last week. the most important lesson to me is a president and administration must be willing to invest enormous time, rendered -- energy, resources. a president or secretary of state with the president's backing has to be willing to crack eggs to make an omelette. to bear the political consequences of doing so. he has to be able to put himself in the shoes of the other side. understanding this was their bang limits. the political risk is

he reminded our country, quote, democracy is not a state, it's an act. democracy is not a state, it is an act. for the next 2 days. we're bringing together leaders for more than $100.00 governments, alongside activists trade unionists and other members of civil society. leading experts and researchers and represented from the business community. not, not, not, not to assert that any one of our democracies is perfect. or has all the answers. but the lock arms and reaffirm or shared commitment to make our democracy better. to share ideas, learn from each other and make concrete commitments of how, how to strengthen our own democracies and push back on var. terry is fight corruption. promot protect human rights of people everywhere. to act to act. this summit is a kick off of a year and action for all of our countries to fall through on our commitments and report back next year on the progress we've made. and as we do this, the united states is going to lead by example, investing on our own democratic, our own democracy, supporting our, our partners around the world, the same time for the

wise, state house and state senate races are also being dictated by the new lines. they are suburbs around major cities are becoming more populated, urban areas are becoming less populated. that makes you move the lines as well. so state legislatures around the country could see could see a change in the, in the right versus left republican versus democrat numbers as well. you're also seeing it, you know, i was a news anchor for nbc in el paso, texas in very, very blue city. you had, during the trump years, you had the mayor, oral election has gone blue every single year for the past. i want to say 56 years demarco. when's the nomination for el paso mirror? because he kind of ran on trump policies for the 1st time. he had a republican as a mayor again because of that messaging. and again, it's that local government that's going to have the most change. now he's been since voted out and the new and the former democratic mare is back in cuz they liked us policies. but it's just that is where you're going to see the most change . and i think again, if people focus on t

senator from the great state of delaware. i think you know that president biden is from the great state of delaware. he is also the chairman of the senate relations subcommittee on african affairs. senator kunz has been a long time of africa. we are pleased he would take time out of his schedule to be with us. over to you, sir. maybe we are having a tech issue. >> thank you. can you hear me and can you see me? >> yes, i see you now. thank you to your panel. i have been listening to your deliberations and discussions over the last dozen minutes. i was trying to figure out how to tell you, don't interrupt everybody. i'm happy to keep listening. you have more wisdom assembled here, more personal investment and engagement in the fight for democracy than you will hear from me. thank you for the opportunity to join you. daniel, let me thank csis, the center for strategic international studies, for hosting this, today. i am grateful to mccall, who i have traveled with and worked to advance democracy. we have differences in terms of

court clerks and state judges enforce state law when they entertain private civil suits? >> no, i don't believe they can be enforcing them -- >> how do you deal with the language in shelly versus kramer that uses the word enforce? >> i think in that context, it is coming after a judgment has been entered by the court. but simply adjudicating a case at the outset and docketing a complaint, that is enforcement. and it goes to the remedy that the united states is seeking with respect to the private individuals. they're asking the court to restrain texas from adjudicating lawsuits. they want to stop the clerks from docketing the complaints. they want to stop the judges from hearing or presiding over the cases. the problem is that the private individuals are not doing any of those things that the state has been enjoined from doing, they are doing something different. they're the ones filing the lawsuits. the state can't file the lawsuit, and it can't be enjoined from doing so. they are telling it not to file a lawsuit, and they're stopping the state from doing something it nev

this is unprecedented for a state to step up and have to secure the sovereignty of the united stateswe are putting it up at fast pace, mile after mile after mile to secure the united states. >> are you doing it? >> the tragedy that occurred because the biden administration is not enforcing immigration laws. we have drug cartel human traffickers, fentanyl is being brought across the border. there's a devastating tragic story about a woman not too far from where we are, she and her daughter lost their lives because a smuggler ran through a small stop sign and t-boned them and killed them. there's devastation every day because the biden administration is not doing its job to secure our border texas is stepping up and doing the federal government's job. >> we were in mexico this week and interviewed a cartel smuggler, bold. it's clear they've never had this kind of control on our border and it's impacting you. >> used a good work, they are not dealing with president trump now, they are dealing with president biden in the cartel no they have free reign because the biden administration has

we have seen that in state after state. texas is a good example, where a previous investigation words in that -- was conducted focused on individuals who were legally resident but had not yet become citizens, and somehow suggesting that population had cast votes urgently. there was no evidence to that effect. many of the voters who had previously been in that pool, legally admitted resident aliens, went on to become u.s. citizens and should have been entitled to vote. the effort to intimidate them into not coming back at future elections has been consistent throughout states that have chosen to have these audits. that is why we say there intended to disenfranchise future voters. >> thank you, i appreciate that. >> senator hagerty is next. >> thank you chair global chart -- chair klobuchar. in your experience, secretary adams, in accordance with local conditions and preferences? or when the rules are wrong, is it dictated in partisan fashion by washington politicians and bureaucrats? >> i cannot say that i have lived through

into state court. that is not an independent constitutional obligation that texas is under. it doesn't have to fly blind, as far as the collateral effects of what kinds of challenges received when it decides how to structure a law. >> it does >> but it does have an obligation to follow, to respect people's federal constitutional rights. >> absolutely, your honor. again -- >> so if it's attempting to stifle those rights, chill their exercise and keep plaintiffs away from a 1983 action and ex parte young liability, you say there is nothing wrong with that? >> your honor, the limits of section 1983 and ex parte young 'availability, specifically 1983, congress could ex tend ex parte young, are a matter of congress. the idea that texas would design a tort statute or liability that takes that in mind and says these cases have to go through the state tort system. for that matter, appellate judges in text, follow this court's precedents fully and faithfully. texas does not suppress any substantive right by say

since 2013, 36 states and d.c. have taken steps to reform and maine, nebraska, north carolina have eliminated it entirely, but these efforts are undermined by federal equitable sharing, which is an and run around and we need to deal with it by passing sweeping reforms contained in the fair act we will discuss. congress must act to ensure lasting reforms to federal civil asset forfeiture programs. i am proud to be the lead democratic cosponsor of hr 2857 along with congressman tim walberg of minnesota. this bill will raise the level of proof required by the government to keep a forfeiture to clear and convincing evidence. it will require revenues to be deposited in the general treasury fund rather than being returned to state and local law enforcement agencies. i am pleased as well any of my colleagues on this committee have joint mr. wahlberg and me in sponsoring this bill. this is our congress should be operating in the interest of protecting the rights of all americans, rather than engaging in our constant habits

>> i would agree with my department of state colleague. at this point, all we can do is be clear in our expectations and commitment to not let a terrorist threat grow. >> yes or no, mr. landberg, is there an isis presence in afghanistan today? >> i think that would be better left for the classified session. >> i will assume yes. mr. landberg, do the taliban and al qaeda have a mutually beneficial relationship? >> going back, there has been a relationship. i think that is well known. >> are al qaeda operatives within the taliban? >> again, any level of discussion about specific terrorist group activities -- >> does the taliban actively shield al qaeda? chris: i think what is clear from conversation so far with the taliban, they are aware of our clear message that they cannot allow al qaeda to use afghanistan as a safe haven. i think they are wary of allowing afghanistan to do that. we can talk in more detail later. >> mr. landberg, can you confirm that after the withdrawal of u.s. troops, the taliban were going door-to-door and quietly exec

more states across the united states confirm cases of omicron covid variant. scientists race to understand how dangerous this variant really is. president biden is laying out his plan to make it through what could be a difficult winter, including tighter travel rules, free at-home testing and a major push to get more booster shots into arms. while the concerns over this new variant dominate the headlines, the delta variant continues to cause mysiss misery across the states. the country is back more than 100,000 cases a day for the first time in two months. let's go straight to dr. anthony fa fa fauci. dr. fauci, good to see you. let's start with the omicron variant. coronavirus cases in south africa quadrupled in four days this week. reportedly spreading twice as quickly as delta. but the south african president said overnight that hospitalizations from omicron are not increasing at an alarming rate. have you seen evidence that hospitalizations or deaths were rising, not just cases? what does this suggest to you about this new variant? >> well, we're in quite

steady-state.as taken that place from tough times to being an absolute gem within the district. ms. sailor, you noted in your testimony obama era gainful employment rule that it was harsh to the hbcu community. do you mind discussing that? ms. sailor: sure and thank you for the question. as we look at balancing the needs of students and the institutions and being able to protect both, you look at the gainful employment regulation if you will. trump was concerned, and many were concerned, harm could come to hbcus and other institutions of higher learning across the country where the ability to not define, if you will, the requirements of connectivity between the program and an outcome the student would receive in terms of gainful employment. so, that rule in terms of focusing on disclosure was very important to begin to relax that and create another flexibility for hbcus and institutions of higher learning not to be harmed. again, we want to make sure students are going to engage in programs that ar

my son is a united states marine. my daughter writes for the daily wire. fairly well-known commentator. our youngest roger waited from yell laws bull and is now living in washington, d.c.. all of my kids are off the payroll, married, and most importantly our son and incredible daughter-in-law gave us our first grandchild, she is seven months old. she was an avocado for halloween. that is who we are. that is our journey. it's accurate to say president reagan was one-of-a-kind. he is universally admired today. those old enough to remember it no it was not always that way. before he was the great communicator, ronald reagan was the great disruptive. conservative outsider who vigorously opposed the moderate republican establishment in his day. reagan's victory in 1980 breathe new life into our party and into conservatism, he changed the course of our nation and the world. today, we found ourselves in a similar position. president donald trump was also one-of-a-kind. [applause] he disrupted the status quo, challenged the movement, and there is no turning back.

now up to 5 different states. and what the concern is is that those numbers of infections are continuing to rise up 4 percent just the last 2 weeks. kimberly thank you so much. kimberly help they will talk you again later. i'm sure. kimberly, thank you. kimberly there at the white house in washington. well, malaysia, detecting its 1st case at the army, chrome variance. it was found in a fully vaccinated visitor arriving from south africa via singapore. earlier this week, malaysia and singapore opened their land border. one of the world's busiest 4 vaccination travelers malays, he is also bought travelers from 8 african countries due to concerns over the variant south korea's making it mandatory to show a vaccine pass for more public spaces, including cafes and restaurants. the process already been in use, but up until now only for high risk venues, like jim say, south korea is ramping up restrictions after confirming 5 cases off on the chrome. india has detected 2 cases of the new variant, including in a person wi

by state. handle this patchwork of state laws. i think the best way to avoid back alley abortions and bussing women around the country is the codify roe v. wade, put that into federal law to make sure women have a choice to be a mom, to put a child up for adoption, or to terminate a pregnancy, that i am with 75% of americans who believe this should be a choice between a woman and her doctor. >> senator klobuchar from the great state of minnesota, thank you for being with us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> is this the way our democracy ends with a giant shrug? our nation is in danger, is anybody listening? that's next. iphone 13 pro an, and t-mobile is paying for them both! and this is for new and existing customers. upgrade to the iphone 13 pro and airpods both on us. only at t-mobile. before nexium 24hr, anna could only imagine a comfortable night's sleep without frequent heartburn waking her up. now, that dream... . ...is her reality. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts, for all-day, a

that's how the united states is doing, and it's even more glaring in the states like texas, louisiana, and mississippi. we'll talk about race too. >> glaring indeed. o rin, if they limit roe next summer, you have strong opinions whether or not they will, dozens of republican-led states will move forward with abortion bans. what tactic should we expect from this current republican party if we don't have federal guardrails protecting abortion access? >> they've certainly been laying the groundwork for a long time. i just want to underscore the point that professor goodwin made because in sates like texas, it's not a coincidence that their rates of infant mortality are so high. they kick people off medicaid 60 days after giving birth. you need that post-partum support when implications happen. this is when we lose people. and so instead of doing something like expanding medicaid for all people, instead of expanding the tenure of post-partum care for medicaid, legislatures like texas, louisiana, mississippi, alabama have been laying the groundwork for what to do when the supreme court doe

states have failed. kristen: there is the argument though, should california pay for it coming even if it could? even those who support women'sss productive rights argue money that should go to servicing the people of california should not supplement the needs of non-californians who don't pay taxes here. jessica: here is the thing. all the recommendations we made in the report benefit californians first and foremost. so, we have quite a ways to go, and many changes we can make within california's abortion access landscape to ensure that californians have better access to care. there should be no county within the state of california that does not have abortion providers. there should not be cost sharing barriers that preclude folks from being able to afford their abortions in the state of california. we need to ensure californians have access to quality, equitable information about the care they can receive here in the state. so, all the recommendations the california future of abortion council are maki

now, president biden let the cat out of the bag when he stated emphatically, of course the united states would come to the defense of taiwan which i think frankly was a mistake because we wanted that strategic ambiguity to hover over all of that. so, there's -- there are some connections but there are some significant differences. um, the key here is that nato -- we need to shore up our relationships on our leadership position in nato. the president, i think, is trying to do that with france and germany and italy and the uk, certainly. but the challenge that we see is that sanctions, alone, unless they are incredibly draconian, is not -- those sanctions will not necessarily affect putin. >> right. >> the problem is that, you know, putin enjoys tremendous support internally but if the oligarchs who he relies on for support are starting to feel the pain, then there may be some success in terms of putin choosing not to invade ukraine. but fundamentally, the united states right now should be increasing its foreign military sales. they should be doing that with anti-tank and defensive-type co

they enforce state law. shelley versus kramer being the most prominent landmark example of that. can you fill in the gaps there and explained to me how we should think about that language and light of how we conceptualize state court enforcement of private civil suits now? >> yes your honor. i think the most straight forward ways to apply ex parte young is to apply relief on ex parte young that was up the commencement of the suits and not create any of the problems raised in ex parte young about stopping the adjudication for a quick sorry to interrupt i think justice thomas' question wasn't getting at, take the point to distinguish the judges from the clerks. are they in that language are you saying we should not do that and i just want to hear your answer why should we do that? >> that's right i don't think so that language i think that language supports relief against the clerks versus whether courts should restrain there are instances of the court has recognized where it relief against eight judges and co

of missouri, the state of tennessee, and eventually doing probably its most prolific damage in the statet now, many of us are just sort of trying to really unpack what happened yesterday, as it is just absolutely historic. victor, weather is obviously unpredictable, that is the very nature of it. but we didn't really have many warnings, did we, about this? what made it so bad? well, there were actually significant warnings in advance for this storm. i mean, several days in advance the storm prediction centre in northern 0klahoma, which is in charge of issuing severe weather outlooks for events like this, did have some significant outlooks for yesterday's tornadoes. and as we drew closer to the event, tornado watches, which means the conditions are favourable for these types of events to occur, were issued hours in advance. and honestly even warnings, which means the tornadoes have been spotted, were also issued as well. the big challenge here is that these tornadoes occurred at night, in the dark. people are sleeping, people are not expecting these types of tornado events to occur — whic

i don't think that having state by state by state, and literally you know well, chuck, by what we've seeing out of texas and alabama, a huge swath of the country women will be ze need the right to make a choice. i don't think that's the answer. i think the answer is putting it in federal law. the ultimate answer would be upholding 50 years of precedent and the court doing the right thing. >> all right. this bill needs 60 votes in the senate. is there a way besides getting rid of the filibuster to lower the threshold? could you find a way with medicaid or medicare funding, different ways to make it a 50-vote threshold. >> as you know, we're looking at the rules of the senate right now. in the context of the freedom to vote ability, the bill i lead that has every democrat in the senate supporting it. one of the things we've realized is that -- i would abolish the filibuster. eastern if you keep the filibuster in place, there have been 160-some carve outs to the filibuster. even robert bird himself said -- >> how would you change the rule for kpod phiing roe? >> this would be some chang

in this state. the reasons why they may be be targeting the state is because you've made it clear that ou w ' y ont pay ransoms? yes. do you think, then, that by making that statement, you're putting your citizens, your residents of kaduna state, at greater risk? not necessarily. i think, in the long run, or even in the medium term, it actually makes the state safer. we still have kidnappers, we have individuals being kidnapped, we even have attempted kidnap of students, they have been successful in two cases, but not on the kind of scale you've seen in other states. here in kaduna just last week, three university students were kidnapped. yes. so, how can you tell their parents that their children were safer? i commiserate with the parents, i sympathise with them, but that will not change our stand. the only way to end kidnapping is for societies to stake a stand that we will not pay. i know the pain of losing children, but i have to subordinate that to the overall interest of the society which elec

it would just allow the states to do it on a state by state basis. actually, roe was a made up right created a constitutional right that's not even stated in the constitution itself and it created an arbitrary time limit in which abortions could be performed or not as a matter of constitutional rights. so i join the rest this have body in this country in awaiting the supreme court's ruling. i believe that it's more than appropriate for the supreme court to revisit its precedents, that essentially disparaged and denigrated the right to life of an unborn child. ... my friend from oklahoma. the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. lankford: in december of 1952, again in december of 1953, the supreme court was packed. fs there was lines out into the hallway with people waiting to get in to hear oral arguments. in december the court would hear arguments on the legality of segregation brought by thurgood marshall representing the brown marshall representing the brown by thurgood marshall represented brown family of topeka,6 kansas. just 56 yea

a state. democrats try to end the filibuster, they try to pack the court, they do secret impeachment hearings in the bunker, in the basement of the capitol. they just said a naval veteran is afraid of the truth. and now today -- now today they're destroying executive privilege. the united states supreme court said those must be free to explore alternatives in the process of shaping policies and making decisions. and to do so in a way that many would be unwilling to do except privately. the court further stated, presidential administrations of both parties have asserted that president's close advisors are an extension of the president. who are these close advisors? who are these individuals who are an extension of the president of the united states? well, there's actually a bunch. but certainly the three most important are the national security advisor, the white house counsel, and the chief of staff to the president. and i would argue the chief of staff is the closest of the close. he's the on

case going through state court where just yesterday, a state state, the judge ruled that some parts of this law were unconstitutional. but the question here is, can you sue in federal court? and if you do, who can you sue and the u. s. supreme court said federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction. they're courts of limited power. and you can't just come into court and say, this laws unconstitutional. i have to stop it. ah, you have to identify particular enforcers to sue. and that's just very difficult in this case. and that's what the supreme court said, the world's leading nuclear and spanks hotels, al jazeera, more access to iran's program, is needed to establish trust talks continue in vienna. the international atomic energy agency chief says the organization wants to reinstall its cameras. raphael mariano grossi says iran needs to be more transparent about its nuclear program. the ages he and iran are trying to come to an agreement on, or basically 2 things. one is the capability or the ability of the agency to return to one facility, one specific facility in iran, where

>> the state may have, your honor. the state can certainly regular utility to serve its interests and fetal life and in women's health. those particular laws tend to undermine both of those interests, because they deter women from seeking prenatal care, which is counterproductive to both of their health -- >> but pre-viability as well as post-viability. >> no, your honor. the court has been clear that after viability, states can prohibit abortion, except to save -- >> no, i mean -- in my example of criminal child neglect. i understand your argument is about abortion. i am trying to look at the issue of bodily autonomy. and whether or not she has a right, autonomy. in the case of ingesting an illegal substance and causing harm to a previability fetus. >> of course those issues aren't posed in this case. again, i would say the states can regulate throughout pregnancy both before and after viability to preserve fetal life and preserve the woman's health. the court has said there are other constitutional issues at stake. f

your state experience in massachusetts, my first state experience was also in massachusetts. and it's, you know, it's -- we all know all states are different but that as i worked in other states, i found that the infrastructure, that kind of oversight in massachusetts was stronger than it was in much of the rest of the country. of course my data are now very, very old. but i am curious sort of what's the federal government's role in pushing or helping the states move beyond that first layer of say, we've got managed care contracts, that's good enough. daniel: i would say this with great affection and partnership with the health plan community that i'm often chatting with, health plans can do an incredible amount. at the same time, i don't think, as we think about medicaid, whether thinking at the state level or federal level, where we are in 2021 with the goal of where we want to progress. simply having a contract with a managed care entity, paying capitation, handing capitation over and assuming everything will happen, you've acknowledged the difference in state resources. t

so, this could turn abortion back over to the states and allow states to enact their state constitutionsates would make abortion illegal because it trigger bans in their state. so, this could have huge implications across our nation. >> tucker carlson: just to be clear, no honest, legal analyst believes that row is an honest decision. it is grotesque. if it were to disappear tomorrow, states would do what we call -- democracy, right? voters would get to decide what they think of abortion. would that be the effect? or am i missing something? >> no, you're right. gorsuch made that clear on the bench when he was asking the biden solicitor, so, you know, i want to make this clear, it's not that abortion would be gone. we're not here to say that, you know, that the supreme court would be banning abortion. this would go back to the states, correct? and that's absolutely right. >> tucker carlson: right. and that's right. >> tucker carlson: yeah, well no one ever says that, but it's true. you can vote on something for once. great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker carlson: jo
