from taking state office.this is a complete preefrmgs in a way that's rare. >> it's rare under the 14th amendment. >> of course it's rare. this is a one-off situation. >> it is one-off, i don't disagree with you, but it's not with respect to how we've defined self-executing. >> we're not asking this court to redefine the concept of nonself-execution. we were careful in our brief not to rely on that phrase. >> right, you are because it's not. >> that's right. and griffin -- >> so now the question is a very different one in my mind. i understand what you're relying on griffin. let's just be very clear. griffin was not a precedential supreme court decision. >> that's correct. >> it was a circuit court decision by a justice who when he becomes a justice writes in the davies case, he assumed that jefferson davis would be ineligible to hold any office, particularly the presidency and treated -- and this is his words -- section 3 as executing itself needing no legislation on the part of congress to give it effect. so

i understand the states controlling state elections and state positions.t we are talking about here are national candidates. i understand that you are looking atphoner or foote or conflicts after the civil war, and there are people who felt strongly about retaliating against the south, the radical republicans, but they did not think about authorizing the south to disqualify national candidates. that is the argument that you are making, and what i would like to know is if you have any examples of this. >> many of those historians have filed briefs in our support in this case making point that the idea of the 14th amendment was that both the states and the federal government would ensure rights and if the states failed to, the federal government would step in, but the reason that there are not examples of the states doing this is idiosyncratic ones, because it was a different way, and the states had the power under the 10th amendment to run the elections, and they did not use that power to access ballots until 1890s, and until then, there was amnesties and t

we have got a great state. soso to the families and loved ones of these brave south carolinians we offer our condolences. we are eternally grateful for their service.

so to answer the question, the state of our state is strong, growing and prosperous because we trust our citizens more than we trust the government. [applause] >> georgia is succeeding because we have chartered our own path, rejected the fail policies of washington, d.c. and worked together to put our citizens first. but i believe the worst thing we could do is call it a day and coast through what is certain to be another contentious election year. we have accomplished so much over the last five years despite unprecedented times and challenges because we haven't gotten distracted from doing the job that we were sent here to do. like i mentioned four years ago in my second state of the state address, we stay true and now we are seeing the results. it's no secret that georgia is growing and top state for business for record ten years in a row, new jobs are headed our way almost on a daily basis. existing businesses are looking to the expand and companies from the all over the world look to the peach state to locate their next headquarters. but with growth comes the need for more traine

shah was acting as puppet in west asia for the united states during the vietnam war, the united statesat were sold to iran to attack vietnamese and we have passage in the memories of mother that one day shah went to his mother and was quite upset and the mother asked the shah, why are you upset? and the answer was that the americans have taken these fighter jets from iran without even notifying me, meaning the show, so the relationship between the shah and nixon kissenger those years... actually led to the revolution, because what wanted from nexon, after giving all these services to nixon was to leave the internal affairs of oppressing the people of iran to the shah, so cia had huge office in tehran, iran was actually the hub of cia operations in the middle east, and the cia didn't realize... 'there is going to be a revolution until it was too late and the reason for that was that it was an agreement between the shaw and the nexon administration to leave iran alone in terms of how shah was running the country in terms of oppressing the the revolution came in 1979 in such a environment

today, the state of our state is strong. [applause] we have announced the creation of nearly 40,000 new jobs. many in communities that have been historically left behind. [applause] we have the lowest unemployment rate in the country for the fifth month in a row. [applause] crime is down across the state and homicides in baltimore city are the lowest they have been in nine years. [applause] and, communities, communities. that have been underestimated and undervalued, now have an important seat at the table in the halls of power. [applause] so, i am proud. i am proud of what we are doing. most important, i am proud of how we are doing it. the executives and the legislature are working together again. [applause] and it feels good. [laughter] we choose to sweat the details of governing. knowing that our constituents deserve nothing less. by moving in partnership, we have helped make life easier for the people we are here to serve. we have launched a full frontal assault on child poverty that will lift a combined 160,000 childre

>> my state of the state was to members or state legislature not to members of united states covers but you can certainly speed if you could talk about issue that's really -- >> a sudden issue i'm shy on. i go on tv all the time. the focus of my audience is kind of congress and the president. i don't have a policy i'm seeking for my state legislature on this because we do not patrol borders. we do not process asylum applications. this would be, i hope it's a major topic of president biden's address to the united states congress. but absolutely it's an issue i'm very vocal on an outspoken on to try to get congress to take action and/or the president to take action. but again there so state legislative agenda piece of tha that. >> you don't think, i mean, i think the criticism the folks launched is you could use your bully pulpit to raise at this issue and you just don't feel like that was the right -- >> i do. i go on national television talk about immigration fairly regularly, but again to your audiences, my audience and you are trying to give attraction to is what mayor johnson of denv

or any state.of the argument, the practical argument is, we can't as a state and forced to. >> congress has to. >> we are going to have congress in force, which will just be a scrum. >> you're not going to say. that >> if you can't do it, until the guy has been elected, when does congress step? in >> what they are saying, what they will write, i would bet a lot of money, is that congress has to pass an enabling statute that spells specifically the procedures by which all of got referenced today, the series of acts passed under reconstruction, some including called the reinforcement acts, were caucus has to specify a procedure because this is too hard to interpret for courts and too crazy to leave to the states. congress has to exit anti possum statute that says how to do this and then we can do it, that's it. >> they say they won't do it. >> of course, they won't. >> and they say they pass a law that is open for the president, because i bring you to coy griffin, the trump cowboy, who was actually d

solution, consolidating a free, sovereign and independent state state, palestinian state, as it established with the pre 1967 international borders with east jerusalem as its capital in accordance with the relevant security council and general assembly resolution. following the principles of international law and peace, bolivia recognized palestine as an independent and sovereign state on the 17 of december 200. 10 along the 1967 border, because it meets all the traditional criteria for statehood, all states have common, but differentiated responsibilities and the obligations to provide solidarity, assistance to the palestinian people, accordingly, and despite its economic limitation, the plurinational state of bolivia is making an important effort by sending a contingent of humanitarian eight, which we hope can reach its destination without objection from the occupying power. bolivia further considers that the security council, the human rights council, the united nations general assembly and the international court of justice, as well as the relevant treaty bodies must continue to call on

i understand the states controlling state elections and state positions. what we are talking about here are national candidates. the -- i understand you look at phoner or foot, shelby foot or mcpherson, they all talk about, of course, the conflict after the civil war. and there are people who felt very strongly about retaliating against the south. the radical republicans. but they did not think about authorizing the south to disqualify national candidates. and that's the argument you're making, and what i would like to know is do you have any examples of this. >> many of those historians filed briefs in our support in this case, making the point that the idea of the 14th amendment was that both states and the federal government would ensure rights and that if states failed to do so, the federal government would certainly also step in. i think the reason why there aren't examples of states doing this is an idiosyncratic one is that the elections worked differently back then. states have a background power under article 2 and the 10th amendment to run presid

a win for your states.s we all know, politics intervened to stop speaker of the houses refused to vote on the bill even though there is significant support. republican -- talk to your republican colleagues. there are enough votes to pass the bill. all of the sudden, people started to go silent. they are in a tough spot. tell that to the border patrol. they support this bipartisan bill. tell that to the chamber of congress who supports the proposal. tell that to the wall street journal. the editorial page supports this. there are governors in this room that supported. strong minorities oppose it but significant majority in the house and senate support it. folks, leaving and nothing is not an option. compromise is part of the process. i did not get everything i wanted in the deal. we did not do a number of things. but it is a positive, significant step. you know that. you deal with his every day. some of you deal with it every single day. you have real skin in the game. if this matters to you, matters to your

of course the united states has stated its position and we have stated our position on palestine and the prosecution of war there. so that's true. but at the same time, i think our position on palestine remains principled, anchored in the united nations security council resolutions. but right now we have different sets of priorities in pakistan. i think it should not directly or indirectly affect our relations with the united states. daniel: all right, i'm cognizant of the time, ambassador. i really appreciate you coming today. i hope to get to pakistan this year. i really appreciate you coming to visit. as i said at the beginning, i want you to consider csis second home in washington. i'm grateful to the folks who came out today. i thank my friend and colleague ambassador raphel for being here. and please join me in thanking the pakistani ambassador to the u.s.

not a single justice agreed with the state prosecutors and the state government. not one.opinion had seven bipartisan justices there were two concurring opinions but they all agreed that violated the eighth amendment. they wrote this and the opinion was written by ruth gator ginsburg. the excessive fines clause is an incorporated under the states on the 14th a moment due process clause. so it applies to the states through due process under the 14th amendment is called the incorporation doctrine that is why the first memo, second member virtually all the other amendments are applied to the states because when their face they don't apply to the states. the supreme court says these do and this does this is a four and a half years ago. the judge in the case does he not read the supreme court decision? the attorney general does she not read it or not care about it? here it is we care about the 14th a moment due process clause incorporates and renders applicable to the states a billf rights protections quote fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty deeply rooted and this his

the state government, not one. the majority opinion had seven. seven bipartisan justices. there were two concurring opinions, but they all agreed that it violates the eighth amendment. they wrote this and the opinion was written by ruth bader ginsburg, no less. the eighth amendment's excessive fines clause is an incorporated protection applicable to the states under the 14th amendment's due process clause, so it applies to the states through due process. under the 14th amendment. it's called the incorporation doctrine. that's why the first amendment, second amendment, virtually all the other amendments are applied to the states because on their face they don't apply to the states. so the supreme court said these do and this does. this is four and a half years ago. the judge in the case, does he not read the supreme court decision. the attorney general, does she not read it or she just doesn't care about it? but here it is. we care about it. the 14th amendment's due process clause incorporates and renders applicable

a matter of state law or feder law. looking at double jeopardy and prior cases, i thinking about bluford versus arksa we evuad it as a matter of federal law. >> this courtetmines what constitutes an acquittal. bluford is an example o a case in which the jy failed to reach a verdict >> no matter what label the state putn it, the state can have a kinds of procedures and theyanay, well, we will say that this particular resul is not an acquittal. we held a functional analysis and that as a matter of federal law we look a what happened and determine whatous. >> exactly, justice jks. this supreourt had characterized the granting as not ancqttal. similarly in evans, michigan had held that the ruling by the court in a case in which the jue mistakenly lost it was not in acquittal. the definition of acquittal just last ter in the smith case, this court defined what in acquittal is and that is a determination, a resolution of crimin culpability. >> i'm sorry. to pick up on that, mr. simpson, it is my understanding tt there are jur

or having a state of their own. not only in theory, but also in reality on the around the actual state that controls the territory that deals with the services. so people that this democratic that has and people can make choices within the palestinian state. the tragedies and this is known before 7 october and all that's happened later is that's it for many palestinians. they started to look like a false promise in the new idea. but the false problem is because the state was not coming at for many for somebody's way. so i think including the comments and governments in colorado, this seemed like this was the supplemented self because there was never no cooperation, at least with the westbank authorities. and the and it was relative peace and call them most of the time. and so they, they also promise was not delivered to them. if you had asked me a few years ago, i would probably have said that i think the time is up. but now i'm actually more convinced that there is no alternative to this. we have to get that back o

united states. the vice president. the united states. all right. i'll i'll let you talk in a minute. yeah. the vice president, united states went out to a buddhist monastery, a buddhist monastery, and he asked monks and nuns to renounce their vows of poverty, pay thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. so they could spiritually commune with him. and then he said he didn't know where he was. perhaps those folks. perhaps get crowded out here anyway. perhaps those folks in saffron robes and all that incense might have given him a clue. but really, what was most outrageous then, the vice president, united states, goes before the american people, grips the podium and says there's no controlling legal that there was no controlling legal authority for all this these shenanigans all this this incredible debasement of the institutions of government. well, i want to tell you, my friends, i'm going to give him a controlling legal authority. i'm going to give him a controlling ethical authority. and then i'm going to beat al gore like a drum. and send

state. so part of the reason that that southern tier of of midwestern states was was most committed to these laws is because that tier of states. i'll go back again is right on the border of the ohio river, which was then virginia, now west virginia and kentucky, and the west side of illinois, missouri and so these are not the northern tier of states on the ohio river was the legislators were more concerned about black migration, the slave states into the free states than, let's say, their counterparts in like michigan and wisconsin, further away from the ohio. and so the laws designed to discourage black migration, the state, and to make life difficult for people once they were there, they they basically created a two tiered system that of what we might call racial a. these laws not considered to violate the united states constitution. so that might or might not be surprising to you. but at the time, most people thought these laws were perfectly constitute nationally valid. and why is that

state assembly.obody's let off the hook. because the polls tell us that most of the stuff we're demanding, upwards of 70% of americans want it. not just republicans or democrats, black or white, really, people are focusing on what's right versus what's wrong, moral versus what's immoral and then we will be mobilizing, i won't tell all of the strategy, but we have it down to a formula. and let me just say this, if you have-- if you organize 200 people in a state who are taught how to deep dive with technology and old-fashioned door knocking and calls, and you get 6,000 people in 30 states, if each one of those persons reaches about 50 people a day in a five-day week, they can reach upwards of 15 million people in 40 days, 40 to 50 days. we're very serious about this, very serious about this, about this mobilization, it's not just a one-day, one-off screaming outside and it's over. this is a mobilization, the third reconstruction, this is a resurrection, not an insurrection. this is people deciding tha

in last year's state of the state, we set a goal on education. this year, we're going to set a goal to raise per capita income by a minimum of $20,000 by the year 2030. [applause] just think, how much housing insecurity and food insecurity we could address as a state, if we double down and work to raise per capita income across rhode island, helping every family. and just like we did with our education goal, within the next 100 days, we will roll out a game plan for raising incomes with the help of ernie almonte, the executive director of the league of cities and towns, and ed tibaldi, an economist and professor at bryant university. later this week, i'll be submitting my budget to the general assembly. the budget will prioritize programs and initiatives that will help us raise the incomes of our fellow rhode islanders, while controlling recurring costs. we will continue the fiscal discipline we have shown over the past two years, using one-time funds for one-time investments and budgeting within our means so we won't be forced to revise our budg

that's not going to solve the problem for the united states, the united states as a declining power, and it has to begin to look at reality objectively. otherwise, it will suffer more than anyone else. all right, right outside the textbook for waiting for a patient before a again, i ask you a specific questions you just want to uh, want to come in on on what you've heard to you the yeah, sure. i think the, you know, trying to build a narrative between good guys and bad guys, no matter who is on the good and bad, isn't really helpful to trying to understand what is going on. of course, both the ronnie ends and the americans pursued their interests. been pursued politically, economically, militarily, how they could maintain as much influence as possible in the, in, in the, in the region. now what's become there is that the americans have had more of an ingle here is to their foreign policy withdrawing at times. coming back in really being unable to maintain strong influence. and if you look at the other side that your audience have the, your audience have built strong networks of allie

this suggests that the united states is extremely not confident in yourself.washington seeks to use its allies to weaken its adversaries and achieve its own goals. regarding china. he said, this causes a very great misunderstanding, and if someone thinks that constructive relations can be built with china by constantly wringing hands, these are the people who absolutely do not understand chinese psychology, you know, senator, it somewhat reminded me of that , what i heard in moscow 4-5 years ago, it may be that the biden administration... is pushing china into a very dangerous direction for themselves and for their country, well, what we are seeing, without a doubt, indicates a certain inflated rhetoric on the other side, moreover, let’s still proceed from reality: china knows its worth, america knows its worth china, and china knows that america knows its worth, so... this is not yet the crossing of certain upper red lines, which certainly exist, as for the pressure on china, the chinese position here is quite definite, china says that he will not tolerate pr

in the states, that guy, that they called winner states, later in that interview, it was all winter states who won money by the united states treasury, meaning they all connected more from the federal government more than they ever paid him. they went on to praise the states that he really praised, which were north dakota, and west virginia the. two of the least desirable states to live in, according to the population numbers, in a country where we are, all, free to choose where we live, north dakota ranks 48th in population. west virginia, ranking 48. no one in fox wants to live in north dakota, and no one in fox wants to live in west virginia. i have been to both of those beautiful states, more than once, and they have entranced me with their beauty, charm, and their people, but, i for one, couldn't make a living in either one. in fact, most people you see on fox live in new york, where fox was always headquartered, and will always be headquartered. the state of new york has been supporting the federal government from the beginning the first by the collection of tariffs in the largest po

but when people traveled from state, state or into the district of, columbia, which is not a state, it and it became more possible to invoke the united states constitution petition because interstate issues were involved. and so the privileges and immunities clause you're talking about article four, section two, sort of says something in the language as people acknowledged back and now is pretty ambiguous. it says something about state citizenship and kind of the rights of citizens of the state to be entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several states. and what that meant for free african-americans was kind of unclear. and had and and the kind of ability to make constitutional claims under that part, the constitution was it was a very new situation. we're talking about the early of the constitution itself. and so i argue that beginning i mean, with greater and greater intensity, beginning with the missouri compromise, which in which the debates in congress significantly invoked the privileges and immunities clause with respect to the rights of african-americans

it's not a good luck to lose your own state, although it's happened before our bordering states. and you can hear me basically, she has the money she's, she's very good at fundraising. so she has the money to stay in to run those ads, make us campaign stops, etc. she says, and she might have a case to be made that there are a number of people out there that are looking for a trump alternatives, and also a binding alternative. and that she would actually do very well in a general election against joe biden. as i was saying, the way the primaries are structured, you essentially, you know, gravitate towards this one's one candidate regardless of what the, what the majority or majority might actually want. given that you have the states voting in succession without really getting a chance for other voters to have their say, and if they are kind of way. so it could be that nikki haley all things being equal, which they had a chance against joe biden. but all things are not right now just to get to that general elections, you 1st have to confront donald trump and he's not doing well as

this was stated by the deputy official representative of the ministry of defense of the united states during the briefing united states of america sabrina singh. she also urged the house of representatives, following the senate, to approve the white house's request for more than $60 billion for ukraine, without which the united states will not be able to continue military posts. here is her short quote: we will not be able to provide these critical aid packages to ukraine, and she will, unfortunately, have to make choices and make decisions about what cities and settlements they will be able to receive with what they have and with by what partners continue to send them. hard listening to this, it is difficult to listen to it from the mouth of a representative of the pentagon, but it is clear why she says this. because they really have no money, why no money? because the congress does not give them this money. he is actively harming national security, according to white house spokeswoman karinzhan. pierre commented on the delay of the speaker of the house of representatives, mike johns

the state using only fiber. that being able to utilize a mix of technology will maximize the funds. so, the language demonstrates congress' intent but the allocation of the funding, the technology be inclusive allowing states to make decisions based on maximizing to reach the funds. but the administration and ntia made a clear preference for fibers what looks like to me. so now to the question, could you give us some explanation how ntia tends to handle plans that include technologies other than fiber? such as fixed wireless access and so on. >> thank you for the question. it is a very important question. i will just say we have known from the beginning we will only succeed in this mission of connecting everybody if we use all available technologies. and while we do think we are doing every american the best possible internet connection they can get at in many cases that is a fiber connection. in many situations that just is not going to be possible. we expect states will have plans that include a variety of tec

we know that a contrast between republicans in states and democrats in states could not be clearer.ssues that don't actually exist. they are banning books, they are banning abortion. they are taking rights away, whereas democrats in leadership across the country in these states are expanding our rights. you want to know more and get involved, head to dlcc dot org, we love to have. you >> over the past several years following controversial legal decisions, such as issues such as abortion access in voting rights, lgbtq rights, gun laws. the importance of state legislatures have grown significantly, as these freedoms have been contested by gop, by the gop nationwide. how exactly do you plan to counter the republican narrative, seeking to out- organize the democrats on these issues? >> i just think the story could not be clearer. in 2023, democrats in the states, in special elections across the country, over performed by an average of 6%. when faced with an actual decision, democrats are showing up. they understand the stakes, and they are seeing progress being made by democrats in thei

yemany officials however say us and uk are in a state of confusion and failure in the red sea. they say washington and london bear the consequences for any escalation in the region. meanwile yummy protesters have taken. the streets of the northern city of sad and yet another rally in support of the palestinians in gaza. protesters waved the palestinian flag, enchanted slogans against the us and israel. demonstrators vowed to continue their support for gaza until it emerges victorious in the face of israeli aggression. they also help pictures of yemeni resistance leaders in a show of solidarity with their pro- palestine operations. yemeni cities have been the scenes of mass weekly demonstrations since israel unleash its war on gazaback on the 7th of october. joey sound for the program is hussein albukaiti activist and political commentator joining us from the yemani capital sonna and john. stepling, author and commentator joining us from inder roy, norway. gentlemen, like to welcome you both to the uh program here. i guess we'll start with hussein and sana. good to have you huss

it's the united states decided a way back the way. and i already, at least i 27 years ago when we have one account of it, that nato within large to ukraine, rushes from. then until this small would have said no wait. but then comes to the question, why does the us do this? i, and i think that there are i in 2 different categories of answers. one is that the united states just wants to be the global hedge amount. it wants to be the biggest power and it wants to habits, pieces on every place side, on the world. chessboard i the other is that it's business. i that a somehow there's good business that comes out of that approach. now they could be related guy because what is the business? so partly it's the war business itself. i. that's a trillion dollar your business, at least even bigger. and 2nd, by having military base is all over the world. the us things that it controls the flows of resources, it gets more oil. uh it, uh, is able to determine where pipelines go and so on. so there's another view which says that it's politics in the

i understand the states controlling state elections and state positions. what we are talking about here are national candidates. i understand you look at foote or mcphearson, they all talk about, of course, the conflict after the civil war and there were people who felt very strongly about retaliating against the south. the radical republicans. but they did not think about authorizing the south to disqualify national candidates and that's the argument you are making. and what i would like to know is do you have any examples of this? >> many of those historians have filed briefs in our support in this case making the point that the idea of the 14th amendment was both states and federal government would insure rights and if states failed to do so, the federal government certainly would also step in. but i think the reason why there aren't examples of states doing this the fact that elections worked differently back then. states have a [ground power in the 10th amendment to run presidential elections. they didn't use that power to police ballot access until t

the russian state started to exist as a centralized states in $862.00. this is considered to be the year of the creation of the russian states. because this year, the towns, people of novgorod, a city in the north, west of the country, invited roodick of a runjun prints from scandinavia to reign. in 1862. russia celebrated the 1000th anniversary of its statehood. and in nob garage, there is a memorial dedicated to the one thousands anniversary of the countries in 882 roodick successive principal league, who was actually playing the role of the regent that route ex young son. because really because died by that time came to see if he was the 2 brothers who apparently had once been members of roodick squad. so russia began to develop with 2 centers of power, keep enough girl. and the next very significant dates in the history of russia. was 988. this was the baptism of russia when prince of let him hear the great grandson of rubric baptized russia and adopted orthodoxy for eastern christianity. from this time, the centralized russian states began to streng

far more important are these swing states with polls in swing states with six or seven pennsylvania nevada arizona georgia north carolina. that's where it makes a huge difference in her example and bloomberg did that sweep and seven swing states a couple of weeks ago trumpeted all seven by 53 points in each state. so the individual state and electoral college picture is a of a lot grammar for democrats than the national popular vote in the national polling. >> you get into where it's going for the swing states and more granular way. talk about that. >> polling was never precise but it's not nearly as bad as it is now. so much of the criticism that we hear is from 2016. the pollsters also to hillary clinton was going to win. well, wait a minute the national polls average had her ahead by three points nationally and she won the national primary by 2.5 percentage points. frankly i think that's pretty good. pennsylvania which by the way where the states that had no early voting under their laws back then, so that a state where half the people boat a month or so out is less responsive to what's

it was recently named the best state to start a business, the most charitable state and the state with the most independent people. we were even named the number one state for trick or treating. this is true. i know that won't stop efforts to reach even higher heights. probably my favorite ranking comes from us news and world report where they evaluated all 50 states using thousands of data points and 70 metrics in 8 categories, to determine definitively which is the best state and for the first time in 2023, utah was named the best state in the nation period. while it is fun to tout that ranking and i certainly have, i'm much more interested in why we are objectively the best state. i am most interested in how we keep it that way. i think there are two more rankings that can help us answer those questions. the first comes from a research study on the american dream which experts simplify into an analysis of social mobility but in simple terms means if you work hard, you can get ahead. after looking at measures of social mobility and onto penner ship, institutions and the rule of law,

or even other states. i'm confident that because of our work together republicans and democrats alike, alabama can be vital for the nations. we recognize the responsibility of the role of state government. that means standing up for alabama values in areas like education, economic development work laws, infrastructure and public safety. and we will always, always make sure our government is working for our fellow alabamians. i've believe because of these efforts because we are on solid financial footing alabama this in the most competitive position we have ever been in united states history. ladies and gentlemen state of our state is strong [applause] and together we are prepared for the alabama up tomorrow. [applause] fostering safe communities is a paramount responsibility of government on any level and it begins with protecting the future of our state. our children. that's why i'm calling on the legislature to once again invest in school safety through 100 million-dollar grant program. we must continue

now footage from the us state of florida.n the shores of the gulf of mexico, a light motor vehicle. another hot topic, the state governor said, that he would send a thousand national guard troops to texas to, quote, help fortify the border, erect barricades, unwind the barbed wire to stop the invasion once and for all. we are talking about migrants, whose dominance has fueled the flames of controversy throughout north america. there's a rally in the coughboy state itself. people are angry that the state, in fact, cannot protect its own borders. our american will continue the topic. as they call themselves , american patriots from virginia, who arrived very close to washington in three days to texas under the motto, well, something like let's hit a car rally. for biden and the democrats. it is significant that many came from the liberal states of the megalopolis, which the authorities turned into cities of refuge, where migrants who entered the country are transported for further proceedings, so that the problem of the texas b

is using actually the same method now is coming out with the two state solution when the united stateslestinian territories for taking place just once in december of 20 16 uh was that the united states a abstain of a resolution where actually the united nations were trying to prevent the israelis for expanding their settlements in palestinian territories, but actually that was just symbolic, the israeli settlements represent the possibility of annexation of palestinian territories to... uh the israeli entity and that's the way that they conclude is the possibility for them to keep on annexing all the palestinian territories uh to the greater israel, that's the way that they see it. well quickly if i'm wrong and i think uh uh what you said before i'm correct to conclude that uh many don't realize that the us has uh supposed to to have been an impartial mediator has been exactly the opposite, prolonged uh this situation. the point that we've reached right now and uh has allowed israel to expand, for example, as our guests there mentioned uh settlements, so it's not an impartial mediator,
