the great red state/blue state debate.antis of florida, governor gavin newsom of the state of california. let's turn to the issue of parental rights. now, in march of last year, governor desantis, as you know, you sign the parental rights and education bill and let me read from it. it says, classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade three or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students and according with state standards. critics have called the bill "homophobic." they branded it the "don't say gay" bill. should schools be focused on reading, writing, science, math, history, computers and maybe leaving values considering parents might have different values than teachers at school, to the parents to religious institutions? or is it the role of the school? what is the role? >> governor desantis: the role of the schools is to educate kids, not to indoctrinate kids. it is to do the basics a

the great red state/blue state debate.n with governor gavin newsom, governor ron desantis. according to departments of housing and urban development, these are the numbers for the home is the population in each of your states. in the state of california, it is 172,000. in florida, it is 26,000. now, the per capita numbers are pretty much the same. for california, it is 4 44 -- while florida has -- so governor desantis, i ask you, why the disparity? what are the policies you are implementing that is different from that of california? >> governor desantis: california is adopting leftist policies. governor newsom put out a 10-year plan 20 years. he was going to end homelessness and then he had another plan and he says he is -- and it has only gotten worse. the homeless has gone up. but it has caused a huge problem with quality of life in california, the people that we always bring up this. they have really empowered lawlessness and drug use and you know, gavin newsom at point try to see that california was the freedom state.

some required state legislative action, some required action of the state level. acf has the over arcing federal rules and regulations. each state runs the child welfare system and has their definition of what child abuse and neglect are. i want to make sure that is clear. through the review that i spoke about, that's one mechanism for review. we have regional offices. they alter joint planning with agencies, in regards to how they are implementing the requirements that exist federally and technical assistance mechanisms that are available and provided to state agencies regarding workforce training, ability to connect with others that have already made changes in regards to those rules and regulations. and again, through the review process, if the issue gets raised up to us, the process of possibly doing partial reviews, we are going in and we are seeing the case review process, if the federal rules and regulations are being followed and the actual practice on the ground. >> we will dig a little bit more on that in a moment. first, let's talk about children who we

own state laws and procedures. there's this one carve out niche when a comes to kwoifrgzs of the president of of the united states which are established in various parts of the constitution. you have to be 35. you have to be a native born citizen, and when we get to the 14th amendment we learn you also could not have participated in an insurrection after previously taking an oath to uphold the constitution. so because that is an area of federal eligibility and qualification, it's appropriate for the supreme court to step in and weigh in on the law, but the difficulty here -- and jason, this is something you've discussed before is less so the very clear legal dictates in the law, but the interception of politics in law here. and the court i think will implicitly have to make a decision about whether they're willing to run the risk of following the strict letter of the law, which this supreme court is on record of saying it must do when it's unambiguous or whether there's concerns how americans will react in their ab

that is a democratic state in the states like that. all the palestinians who were expelled due to the creation of israel and who lived in the event that an event, not a political non exile, is that not a political, non starter as well? no is rarely is going to accept that because they would argue with the demographic destruction, and that is the destruction of the jewish state, which is the very premise of israel. is that a political 9 starter? as a practical matter, of course, you would say that of course you would say that everybody would say that, but i'm putting it to you and i put it in the book very, very clearly. i think that 1st of all, there is this idea. do you do me, you personally obviously, but do people support the idea of these 2 communities living together in equality and in democracy? that's the 1st question. and the 2nd question is, how are we going to get that? so in a way what happens is one starts to talk about this and immediately the 2nd question is thrown in one's face. how's it going to happen is we just will n

is it the state government secretary of state scum of the court's, it will vary from state to state. more importantly, this question of insurrection and regardless of what people's views are of what happened on january 6, and what the former president's role was in that, somebody has to make the decision as to whether it is insurrection or not. whether that is an unelected official in a state, the supreme court or congress or may be a prosecutor, someone has to make the call and ultimately that will fall to the supreme court. before we can answer these questions of whether colorado was right or maine was right, someone has to decide and that is the supreme court, what the actual answer is. i truly don't know how the supreme court will rule because there are a number of ways they can go without -- they could just say make a ruling with respect to the 14th amendment or something like that. this is complicated, it has to go there, and we have to see what they will do with it. >> california's governor said it should be up to the voters to decide. that was a political argument he wasn't w

nonetheless, the colorado state court has a state law proceeding under colorado law that they can use circumstances, not specific to insurrection, on election questions. >> makes a difference in the other states that have considered this. >> it does, it's one of the arguments that we heard, a state court judge held a five-day hearing back in october, and november, primarily looked at the january 6th committee hearing and that judge concluded, an interesting ruling, that yes, donald trump did engage in insurrection. however the trial court judge said the president somehow does not qualify as an officer of the united states, that took a little bit of verbal parsing, but that was the ruling, and therefore that judge ruled donald trump is still on the ballot because the president is not subject to the 14th amendment, and that's what landed us yesterday in front of the colorado supreme court. >> now what will likely land us before the high court of the country, before the -- the supreme court on these questions of fact, and the question of law here. >> exactly. so this is what happened yes

states. where there's this question, can donald trump be legally allowed to be on the ballot in the states river states in the united states run the elections. they set the rules, of course is federal law. these are federal elections, but it's the actual states themselves that come up with the specific ways in which the elections in their state get run. so that's why these cases are 1st coming up like in colorado, through the state courts are applying for the rights of ton. donald trump then become president of the united states. if one of those united states as disqualified in from running a can for sure. um, colorado would probably be, they'd probably go for bite in any way. it's a generally democratic state. so trump, whether he's on the valid or not likely would lose their questionnaires. and then there's nothing, of course preventing trump or any candidate from winning ups. you know, a number of states we see this is the problem with 3rd party candidates. for example, united states. well

it's not the first state or the second state or the third state. why does colorado matter here? >> to be honest with you, i think that's part of what i have been asking myself. does colorado matter at all? we look towards the general election and you mentioned, it's not anywhere close to the top of the primary ballot and then the general election, this is a state that safely for biden, even before the ruling came out, solid for biding according to the cook political reporting. safe for biden according to larry, the last republican candidate to carry the state of colorado was george w. bush back in 2004. it was a state that joe biden easily carried back in 2020, won by nearly 14 points. in 2016, remember this is when donald trump was able to win in the electoral college, he did it through the great lake states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. over here colorado is blue. colorado is blue. the fact is donald trump does not need the state of colorado in order to win the presidential election and it's in the primary season it doesn't matter there either. >> looking at 2024 more br

that two-state goal. this would include dramatically increased international support for the palestinian people, including from wealthy gulf states. it would also mean the promise of full recognition of palestine pending the formation of a new democratically elected government committed to peace with israel. let us be clear -- and i think, madam president, this is the main point that i want to make this evening -- that we should be clear that all of this is not going to happen on its own. left alone, sad to say, israel is not going to bring this about. prime minister netanyahu's likud party was explicitly formed on the premise that, quote, between the sea and the jordan river there will only be israeli sovereignty, end quote. and the current coalition agreement reinforces that goal. this is not just ideology, this idea that israel has the right to control everything between the sea and the jordan river. that's just not ideology. the israeli government has systematically pursued this goal. the last year sa

state's ballot. she cites the insurrection ban. the decision can be appealed in state court. an appeal that is almost guaranteed given trump's legal team had already demanded the maine secretary of state recuse herself from the matter, pointing specifically to tweets she wrote saying trump had engaged in insurrection and should have been impeached. trump's attorney said she showed bias by prejudging the matter. this follows the same decision and michigan, minnesota, arizona, and new hampshire. the colorado republican party saying it has asked the supreme court to overturn that colorado ruling. many legal experts expect the supreme court will settle this issue for the entire country. paula reid is "outfront" with more on this. i know we are all going through this right now. what more are you learning? what do you see here in this decision? >> maine now becomes the second state after colorado to ban trump from the ballot based on section three of the 14th amendment of the u.s. constitution. let's break

the united states of america of his closest assistants, as a rule, deputy secretaries of state, but a concept pgr, pi - this. there is the now famous secretary of state for political affairs , mrs. victoria, i think that probably ivan stanislavich also meant this, the subtext is this, the second person is the deputy secretary of state for global affairs, the third is this is the deputy secretary of state for work with information, with the media, for public relations, i want you... are being prepared and implemented in relation to belarus, of course, those plans that exist and they, of course, are formed here on this floor, even though this and a figurative expression, but there are specific people sitting there, russophobes, people who sleep and see how to turn everything around here, fit us into the geopolitical trend that... national interests of the united states of the west, the main thing, the main thing is that we must comply with that we must understand that at such a high level are so closely involved in our issues , absolutely right, this is a corresponding challenge for u

and one of these postulates is its uniqueness, this is a state that is paradise on a hill, the statehe way the founding fathers spoke about this, a natural right to tell other states how to behave on this earth. what is the problem with the monroe doctrine? we very often perceive that it came from nowhere, that there was such a president monroe, and who suddenly took it and put forward the concept, america for americans. that's not entirely true well, first of all, let’s start with munroe’s personality, he is a brilliant diplomat, when we talk about the purchase, the famous great louisiana deal, bought from france by the united states, a gigantic purchase, we all know about the purchase of alaska, yes, in my opinion, it’s big part of the criminal chronicle, in my opinion, yes, according to the circumstances and the consequences , really, the ransom of france in louisiaana, this is of course a gigantic undertaking, this is munro, this is him, as a diplomat, he formalized it all, this is the man who worked with thomas jefferson, this is a man with a very interesting biography, to begin

the two-state solution is somewhat of a contradiction. there is an existing state of israel. what it is lacking is the self-determination of the creation of a palestinian state. in accordance with the principle of self-determination and the values that all people aspire to and that are advocated in the united states and western europe and everywhere in the world. why would the palestinians continue to be in this position of stagnation and a lack of support for what is a justifiable aspiration? >> thank you, minister. i think we might turn back to the head of the gathering, prince faisal, with the next question. >> we have a few questions from the audience. u.s. leverage has failed. a more effective leverage exists in the sovereign nations if you were to take -- the threat to intervene militarily, israel would be forced to halt its aggression. the justification for this action would be the right to protect in the u.n. any comment? >> can you repeat? >> where you to take -- the four sovereign nations you are representing today to threaten to intervene militarily israel would be

the united states. not now, not ever. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from ohio seek recognition? >> unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objectionering, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. kaptur: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise today to draw attention to the u.s. department of transportation to develop inner city passenger rail cor dpors across our great lakes region from chicago to cleveland. we notice the attention that the department of transportation pays to the east coast and west coast, don't forget our great lakes northern region. take a look at i-80-90 corridor. and think about that already carved into the landscape, use it. in 2021 i joined other great lakes members of congress to urge amtrak to retool its connect on u.s.2035 plan which excluded improvements to the cleveland to chicago corridor. to this day we continue to lack daytime passenger rail service across this highly congested

or two state solution? eight like it has to be done or the other and thus israeli constitution or whatever, they affect, or speculate, pelosi to state working very well either so that each of you get comments on back? >> i wrote an op-ed today, my title -- was right. perhaps more user-friendly title by the editor but until palestinians except there is no plan a, there can be no peace so i agree it is hard to see any solution to this the reason i went ten years ago in 1923 he wrote an essay called the iron ball in which he makes the observation if arabs think they can eradicate the jews, but as always plan a and they think that is possible, they will not move on to plan b and what we found with the abraham accords was it not only have certain arab countries accepted that the jews would not go away but they realized they didn't want them to go away that was what led to that leap forward. palestinians obviously are not there yet. seven tells us anything, they are still fed the lie that genocide is possible in

iran has a state are they satisfied with their state?aken over lebanon they've taken over yemen they are in the middle of taking over iraq for they' were they taken e gaza strip. they want to caliphate and not just in the middle east. they are building nuclear weapons the effort to build nuclear weapons that is not for their neighborhood that is for our neighborhood. and what are we doing to stop them right now? what is the plan? what is the strategy to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon right now? on biden and blinken's watch there is nothing to stop that which is why they are racing to the finish line because they know they have friends in the united states state department. they know the 1930s and 40s the israelis an many are still there. i want to turn to our friend at a man who really knows these subjects inside and out. congressman michael waltz a combat veteran who's been ringing the bell and ringing the pots and pans for a long time about the middle east and elsewhere and we will get into that too. what is wrong with what i

petitioner wrongly aocates for inherently subjective test divorces a state action inquiry from state law. petitioners result uncertainties self-censorship of the country's government employees despite repeatedly finding to not lose the rights by publicmployment. the perfect example o the the dr petitioner's test. mr. friede open a personal facebook account 2008 as a college stud indiana wesson university. r 12 years he built up the account to interact with friends, family members, and llgues who talk about his passions and intes including his wife, daughter, his dog, his work, and his favorite bible passages. as he had done for over a decade while operating the accou i 2020 he made a private choice, can the other facebook user could do. to block petitioner and delete petitioner's comments from the e page a. after being sued hate deactite the patient stop speaking to his family and friends and t public on facebook because he did not to lose control over his own speech by the threat of state action. such a censorship for government employees will not only have negativempact on governme

as they say a coalition to protect the red sea which they at this point they have failed the united state and france and other country has several uh battleship in the red sea but they couldn't actually stop uh any of those attack and i believe that - next step that yemanis will extend its attack to form total blockade against israel, not only by targeting israeli own ships or as they say uh 10 days ago they will target any ship that's headen toward any israeli port like the one that they have done today but i believe that in the coming days we might see a statement from yemani army that they will target any ship that's coming from israel as an example this container ship uh it was headed to heading to uh jedda but after that it will head to israel, those are huge ship would have many uh goods on them and they they they they transport this good between uh many ports and one of those port was uh in in in israel uh that's why the next step it will be to target any ship that's coming from any israeli port uh maybe if there is any ship coming from european union uh cargo ship or as this conta

every time i hear president of the united states, secretary of the united states or any american official talk about how their heart is breaking for the palestinian people, it is a lie because their heart was breaking. for the palestinian people, they would do for the palestinian people, such as insist a seasfire, but we veed that at the united nations, exactly, and venessa, the us is still doing the same thing, it's constantly kept blocking all efforts of the un security council, as you know, at stopping this carnage in gaza, so if the security council is not the venue where countries could come with these ideas to stop something like this is really savagery that's happened in gaza, where should we be able to do this, which international body? well, i think also an important point to make, not only is the us feeting peace, of course it's supplying the bombs and the weapons that are being used to carry out the genocide against palestinians, not only in gaza, but also in west bank, which is being largely ignored, of course, that's a quiet genocide and ethnic that's ongoing with us support,

the secretary of state of the united states of america and his closest assistants, as a rule, deputyate, but there is such pgr concept. p is the deputy secretary of state for political affairs, the now famous mrs. victoria nuland, i think that probably ivan stanislavich also meant this subtext, the second person is the deputy secretary of state. on global issues, the third is the deputy secretary of state for information, media, public relations, i want to remind you that it was interesting, so to speak, i think that this hint, it was very, very, very subtle and fair, why during the time of hillary clinton, when she was deputy secretary of state, i want let me remind you that the threat was not only... external from the seventh floor of the state department, it was even internal, the fbi was trying to uncover the alleged conspiracy of the seventh floor, which was attributed to the shadow government of the united states of america, well, let me probably say that well, victoria , of course, has a very extensive biography, a great specialist in the east in our opinion, let's call it str

like the united states and other european states or other states from the global north, let's say.e international community has year after year said -- called for a solution, called for an end to occupation, for an end to apartheid, into the settlement colonization project we see in the west bank. it is only a handful of powerful states that have been trying to get palestine off the agenda. and blocking any avenue to push for the rights of the palestine people under international law. juan: could you talk as well about your own family history as it relates to palestine? your family fled in 48. in your powerful speech, you also talked about how relations between jews and palestinians were before the creation of israel. >> yes, absolutely. my family are refugees from 1948. my father was from a village near jerusalem which is one of the more than 450 villages that were completely destroyed during the nakba, which is the catastrophic events that led to mass ethnic cleansing of palestinians and to the most protracted refugee crisis in the world. and my mother also is from a city that be

both is real in the united states. i. i believe what everybody who speaks about this should be doing is speaking with honesty and directness and the greatest clarity possible. i certainly try to do that and i'm not in government. i just believe strongly in what the united states government is doing and how it's doing it. and uh, and i try and as many places as i can. but i think there are many people like me inside and outside the government. i think one of the things, steve, that it's impossible, it's important to address though, is the, the challenges of decades in how the world views israel versus how they may view the palestinians. what is how both entities are used, frankly, massed for other views. people have and other politics people have and then layers out on top of the information environment where we live in today. the amount of missing this information. we have. the fact that earlier in the show you referenced the younger generation united states not supporting press the button, that same generation more than

in colorado and appeal both state republican party to the states court put the ruling on hold their. supreme court has yet to announce if it will take the case but earlier today the plaintiffs who brought the colorado suit asked the court to move quickly on the matter writing, quote, this case involves issues of exceptional national importance, colorado along with 15 other states and territories, holds its presidential primary on super tuesday, march 5th. this motion seeks to exploit

and for us, it is absolutely essential that all member states, their representatives, heads of stateovernment support the start of negotiations with ukraine, and for this we must use all the tools at our disposal. this is parliamentary diplomacy, this is diplomacy at the level of public activists, this is traditional diplomacy, this is unification and coordination of efforts, i believe that all ukrainian political forces, all ukrainian public activists must show unity and convey this message in order not to take risks, the window of opportunity is very narrow, and we cannot let anyone, no, slovakia, hungary, or anyone, stop ukraine on our way to membership in the european union. equally important, there is a mission that is currently taking place in the united states, and in the united states it is very important that by the new year the congress of the united states, where...' republicans have a majority, using the bipartisan support of ukraine, adopted the decision on the allocation of funds for the purchase of weapons for ukraine, the allocation of funds for the purchase of ammuni

why are we a better state than some other states. >> just because of the caucus? i think caucuses are a better way than the primary. >> caucus is better. >> you are asking why pick iowa as first in the nation? >> right. we're a caucus, that's kind of a good thing, but even if we were a primary. why is iowa just a great place to have this? >> it is a small enough state, and the population is low enough, that the candidates have a chance to talk to actual people instead of being totally mobbed. they can go to an iowa town. some of the smaller ones that have 10 or 12 people there, which for some might be a problem, but then they can talk to the individual people. whereas if they tried it in new york state or something, or california, there would be hundreds of people and they wouldn't have any individual contact to get the feedback from the populace, and take on some of those views from the electorate that they learn from the smaller crowds. >> very good answer. i have eight more that you haven't found yet. eight more. what other things? >> iowa is a pretty good mix

very historic one, but it's doing united states enormous damage. now, i mean, i would make a comparison really directly with 1956 and britain and foxes invasion of so it's close at that. so i'm united states obliged the british and the french to withdrawal of this relationship with the israel has not become pretty robert toxic . one, and that would appear to be the view of very many americans and you just look at the demographics and you see that the thirty's, for instance, overwhelmingly calling for and then to this will cease by. so yes, i mean, there are, there are many reasons why the united states has had this historic time with israel . i think the older generation have a view of israel, which is based on uh, an idea of these valves and the 1950 sixties and seventies. the younger generation can see exactly what is happening now, and that, that is a problem for president binding that's close because it's selection yet next year. and it should hope many people are wondering whether it's helping to fund the election on a plane to but to don't fr

, but at that there are more than 2.5 units of such equipment in combat readiness in the states, andre are two questions, obviously, one is not for you, why only three dozen tanks from two of the 2 there rank 200 ukraine received, but another question, what are the tasks that's how many tanks there are ukraine received 30, it can cover on the front line, which is more than 1000 km there, what can be expected from such a number of tanks that it gives, well, it is one tank battalion, 31 tanks, just according to the regular schedule of a tank battalion. well, he, well, these are heavy tanks, these are good tanks , they were used in other hostilities where the troops took part, well , this equipment, let’s say so, but in such a quantity, well, you can refer to mr. budanov, the head of our the main intelligence agency, who said that these tanks will have to be used separately in some selected areas of the front, because we are closing the front with them or making some breakthroughs, even where we continue to try to take offensive actions. then you should not expect this, well, for the sa

states condeming the israel regime for its crimes, we see united states, the congress basically trying to make certain things illegal, trying to um say that zionism is the... as being being anti-sign is the same being anti-semitic, also we see movements trying to make from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, illegal, um, basically saying that when you say that you're actually calling for um the destruction of israel, while at the same time israelis are destroying gaza, i mean it's absolutely mind, your thoughts, i agree, and um, so we've seen that... also in recent years before the current episode of the genocide uh in which law makers in the us, but also in certain european countries to have uh tried to uh to criminalize uh descent uh to criminalize boycott against the israeli regime and to call the mere resistance of palestinians anti-semitic to an extent for even now we are in a situation which would be ridiculous, it went that dangerous where almost uh the not supporting genocide uh could get someone accuse of anti-semitism and this of course not palestinians and dehumani

>> it varies from state to state. i know canada has passed legislation although they have very little in the way of russian state assets. i can tell you for certain that the candidate passed a law similar to the repo act. in other states, depending upon the constitutional system, they may or may not need legislative action. it may be possible for them to do it executive action without further legislation. >> your predecessor was ash? was he not? >> i was the predecessor, yes sir. i knew him well. >> just to add to what was said, i think the u.s. acting alone would not make enough of a difference because we don't hold many of the russian assets. the europeans hold much more. they hold the bulk. passage of repo would be assigned to the european union, which is wrestling with this issue and assigned to keep key governments knowing we are serious. u.s. leadership can help the european union make a decision about this. that is certainly an added benefit of repo. >> thank you, mr. chair. >> thank you. we now proceed to sena

state secretary of the polish ministry of defense pawel zalewski. because the new year is coming soon, i want to wish ukrainians peace, peace and love so that you can enjoy it in peace, i wish you this. wow, i went for a walk, water, there is not enough ordinary water here, drink reo, i am saving myself, reo, you are ready, dear, ready, i took reo. reo - water for special medical purposes.

"israel doesn't want a palestinian state, and if we were to actually pursue a palestinian state, it would put us at um, it odd with our your greatest regional ally, so this this notion that the united states cares about the palestine, i am sicking to my stock, every time i hear the president of the united states, the secretary of the united states, or any american official, talk about how their heart is breaking for the palestinian people, it is a lie, because if their heart was breaking for the palestinian people, they would do something. for palestiny people such as insist a ceire, but we veed that at the united nations, exactly, and uh, the us is still the same thing, it's constantly blocking all efforts of the un security council, as you now that aimed at stopping this carnage in gaza, so if the security is not the venue where countries could come up with these ideas to stop something like this is what they saged has happened in gaza, where should the be able to do this, which international body? well, i think... an important point to make, not only is the us feeling the bombs and the

states condemning uh the israeli regime for its crimes, we see the united states" congress uh basically trying to make certain things illegal, trying to um say that zionism is the same as being being anti-signist is the same as being anti-semitic also. see movements trying to make from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, illegal, um, basically saying that when you say that, you're actually calling for um the destruction of israel, while at the same time the israeli are destroying that, mean it's absolutely mbockling, your thoughts, i agree, and um, so we've seen also in recent years before the current episode of the gide uh, in which lawmakers in the us, but also european countries to some extent have uh tried to uh to criminalize uh descent uh to criminalize uh boycott against the israeli regime and to call the mere resistance of palestinians anti-semitic to an extent even now we are in a situation which would be ridiculous if it weren't that dangerous where almost uh the not supporting genocide uh could get someone accused of antisemitism and this of course not only harms uh

the states are not gerrymandered themselves, the state-level elections. think you have to realize that representative democracy is not the same as direct democracy. if you look at proposition 16 in california which overwhelmingly passed the state legislature and was viewed by governor brown -- vetoed by governor brown at the time because it was unconstitutional. when they tried to change it to a ballot initiative, it failed. it is often extremely different than what the state legislatures actually pass. we can point to ohio, i think things could be a little bit different. the reality is you have a population that is unaware of the name of their congressman. i'm not sure that has to do with gerrymandering. i think you mean more competition and may be more parties. i'm an independent. guest: direct democracy is what saved ohio this year. we have a legislation that put in abortion bands with no exceptions that only 10% of ohioans agree with and then we had a direct democracy vote in the side that believes in reproductive rights one. i feel like direct democr

it will next be heard by the state trial court and potentially the state's highest court . it likely will eventually be appealed to the u.s. supreme court, where of course, the colorado decision to take jump off the ballot has already been appealed by the gop in colorado. >> they want the supreme court to fast track that decision. when it comes to all of this, these are not the only two states where we are seeing this effort play out. it has played out in a lot of states. summit has been outright rejected, some have had these decisions. we are also waiting tonight for another decision about keeping him on the ballot in oregon. what we know about when a decision could come in that case? >> it really could come at any time here, caitlin. this is a liberal group in oregon. they filed a lawsuit earlier this month, they filed it directly to the state's supreme court. what they want the justices to do there is order oregon secretary of state to take trump off the primary and general election ballots. they are citing, of course, the 14th amendment. trumps team actually has a deadl

congratulations on becoming the 11th archivist of the united states.nsely qualified with a sterling record of service, a clear commitment to preserving the nation's unique history and a deep respect for this country's founding principles. i can't wait for the next generation of american stories that will be housed within these walls under your leadership. thank you so much. congratulations. [applause] thank you very much, doctor wbiden. thank you again for being with us. also in our audiences the 14th librarian of congress, doctor carla hayden. [applause] as we get ready to have the chief justice administer the oath, i do want to say a couple of words about the honoree here tonight. we've said that she is the 11th archivist of the united states and happens to be the first woman archivist as well. thanks president joe biden and the u.s. senate. she's a proud native of pittsburgh. [cheering] being from detroit i can relate to that. priorr to her appointment, senir vice president and director of the david rubenstein center of the white house historical as

doesn't want a two state solution? they wouldn't want the two state solution. what that means he will never allow the conflict to be sold because if he believes that the palestinians would give up on the right to self-determination and statehood, then he is misreading the lessons of the redecades of conflict. he wants the conflict to continue and i just want to draw attention to what is happening in the west bank. there is a war taking place in the west bank as well.be there's been over 300 terrorist attacks on palestinians of the west bank since the conflict started october 7th. there's an average of attacks on palestinians and israel announced a no settlement expansion that would cut off east jerusalem and that was only three days ago. the politicians are coming out saying that they wouldn't recognize the rights of the palestinian. the dehumanization is continuing so i think what we are facing here is not just a challenge of what happens in gaza and i want to sort of reverse the question. the fear being forwarded under the same conditions that we have had for

the closest it comes to his officer of the united states -- is officer of the united states. the constitution, there may be one exception. but the constitution's text uses president and office of the united states separately. they are distinguished. the president is elected, like members of congress, offices of the u.s. are appointed, discussed differently, they even take different oaths upon taking office. it's very hard i think for those who want to bar president trump under the 14th amendment to show that officer of the u.s. includes the president as a term of art in the constitution. the majority opinion i thought here was weak on rebutting this argument. there are a variety of different contexts. this is the first time that this issue has ever gone to the supreme court. but in other contexts, the court has said, do not read officer of the u.s. to include the president both in statutory and constitutional cases. most recently in the free enterprise case a few years ago. so, john, you mentioned what you think the court is going to do. what do you think? first, are they goi

you know, we have 50 states in this union, this great democracy, which is the united states of america. and the supreme court generally weighs in where there is not uniformity, that is where different states are applying the laws in potentially different ways. and so if you are going to have a process that is democratic, that is workable, that has specific direction, you need the supreme court of the united states, highest court in the land, to give some clear direction with respect to what the 14th amendment section 3 means. and it is for that reason that i think that ultimately the supreme court will sink its teeth into this particular mess i'll call it. >> this is a pretty tight time line. both colorado and maine, they have stayed their decisions, i say stayed because of the court in colorado decided, the single secretary of state made the decision in maine, but because of the time line, do you have any concerns about the schedule? we've seen in 2000 that they can move quickly. >> yeah, i think the overall goal though is not so much the republican primary. i think it is the general

the united states is a d and a bedding. and what's happening so it's, it's not a risk that that may become real. it's been very wheeled out of for 2 months. so i would say, and jonathan curtis defense, he may have misunderstood the question and thought it was being asked about what the us is doing to support the damage that and i'm killing that is really wasn't reflecting on palestinian society because it couldn't possibly have been serious with the response he gave. okay, mark, i can say, you know, the why the mean, but despite that, it has been increasing, pushed back within the united states. all of it stands in supporting israel. you know, from the senior officials, the defense secretary, secretary of states and us representatives at the you, when you know, what do you make of that? how much pressure is coming on biden and his administration at this point in time as we see more more civilians being killed in gaza? well, i just want to say if i, if i may, in relation to what we were just discussing a month ago, essential

campbell to serve deputy secretary of state. in the words of secretary blinken, he's one of our nation's leading diplomats and strategists, a visionary policymaker and a renowned leader whose leadership comes at a critical inflection point. he's no stranger to public service for the past three years, he served as senior adviser to the president and coordinator for indo-pacific affairs for the national security council as assistant secretary of state for eastern asian affairs it. the region increasingly fight over for our national security and prosperity, i'm here today introducing him because i have full confidence in his ability to steer the department of state through a time of significant global challenges and opportunities with creativity, commitment, and dedication to serving our country and one of its most important of institutions. in his current role, he's had the pleasure and i'm sure he would describe it that way in is most gracious and diplomatic terms of hearing my many opinions and ideas. in numerous conversations,

the united states is unequivocal. international humanitarian law must be respected. too many innocent palestinians have been killed. too many innocent. said that there are no innocent gazins because hey, they elected that government of hamas, so they're all guilty, so this is the thinking that's going on about gaza, and of course the the spillover is into the west bank where other palestinians are being shot dead by armed settlers and by army, and there have been over 3,000 arrests without charges of palestinians who have abs done absolutely nothing on the west bank so... "this is a this is a clear policy uh to really um create a palestine without palestinians uh you know that's that's where they're going and that's what they want and they've been quite explicit about it so i don't think anybody should doubt that this is this is the policy and if if biden had any um you know nerve my..." call it, he would be confronting netanyahu instead of having his vice president get on and say this stuff is unacceptable, you say it's unacceptable, but you keep supporting them 100

e, the training program, which is approved by the state aviation service of ukraine, it provides forroximately one month, a calendar month of training, during which pilots and operators undergo, as well as the theoretical part, the practical part related to direct control, our products and receive in including the necessary basic skills for combat use, that is, we, in our training program, provide all the levels that allow the specialist, after he already receives his complex, to be useful on the battlefield. but now, i understand that you still have such a large number of complexes that are manufactured in large quantities. more than it was before the start of the war, do they keep up with this process of training operators by increasing the production rates of certain samples? currently, we have a waiting list for training operators for about a month one and a half ahead, and thanks to the fact that the state educational centers are working, we are more or less on time. by the volume of production, but if we conduct the training, then the operator is already prepared for use, after

russia, unlike the states, ratified the un maritime convention in 1982, which includes. 68 states ofnduct scientific research on the shelf and prove that the seabed is a geological continuation of the shores of your state, and not another. for this purpose, the un has scientific subcommittees that consider applications from states and research data. in order for the shelf to be recognized as yours, you need to conduct expensive expeditions over the course of decades. with bathymetry, this means using an echo sounder to create a detailed map of your terrain. this is a study of seismic similarities at different points, with soil samples at the bottom for chemical and geological analysis, then all this data is presented to an international commission of scientists, which draws conclusions: the shelf is a continuation of your territory or the bottom and underwater elevations there formed by volcanic methods, that’s all for you it cannot belong. this is the path russia took. the us state department, by the way, stated that similar studies were also conducted, but the americans are not goi
