stephanie: the law empowers private citizens.nyone can report violations and sue a fellow citizen in civil court. it's this legal maneuver that experts say allowed the law to deflect its first challenge at the supreme court. there's even a cash incentive to encourage citizens' actions. plaintiffs who successfully sue are awarded $10,000, an enticement that supreme court justice sotomayor wrote in her dissenting opinion effectively deputizes the state's citizens as bounty hunters. the citizens enforcement part of the law is one reason judge robert pitman gave for blocking its enforcement last night. he also wrote that sb-8 was a deliberate attempt by lawmakers "to preclude review by federal courts that have the obligation to safeguard the very rights the statute likely violates." he was referring to the constitutional right to an abortion protected by the 1973 supreme court ruling roe vs. wade. this austin clinic and others across the state have already lost staff, who fear legal ramifications. anyone from the physician to the ube

so i'm going to turn to stephanie -- sorry, before we get to stephanie. it's a terrific panel that we have. i just want to say that the support, you'll see, provides a kind of -- it provides a really thoughtful methodology for thinking about our economic engagement with china. it has a sort of historical peace and a way of looking at u.s. objectives and how to test whether we are better off being engaged or disengaged from china. and so you will -- she'll go through some of that on the panel will help or dissect that. before we get to that, we are delighted to have congressman french hill, republican from arkansas, to provide keynote remarks, not about the report but to help us frame the conversation about the u.s. china economic relationship, particularly the financial relationship. congressman hill sits on the financial services committee and the house of representatives. he is ranking member of the housing and community development and insurance up committee. and it's important to this conversation. he's also on the subcommittee on investor protection,

why, stephanie? we're expecting a quarter of a million young latino youth turning 18 between now and next november at the same time that governor abbott, the governor who is trying to restrict a woman's access to health care by not protecting her choice, the one that basically is promoting critical race theory, the one that doesn't want to mandate masks. the one that keeps texas sick, he is on the ballot next year, and he does not want to be reckoned with. you're not doing the will of the people. what do americans need to do? access to the voting booth, to our democracy, it's the whole kit and caboodle. it's everything. it's whether or not we have fair representation. it's whether or not our children are going to be able to get the access to education they need. it's whether or not our economy's going to go roaring for everyone because we have infrastructure. it is the underpinning of everything. it's the reason why we're even having a conversation on infrastructure, on child tax credit because ameri

stephanie: exactly, dr. cody said it is likely that these mandates will be lifted at different times given each county's transmission and hospitalization rates vary. that said, the rules won't necessarily be the same. in san francisco, for even if the indoor mask mandate is lifted, it will not apply to bars and restaurants. so we have a lot to be tracking as we continue monitoring the change o g that is slightly different from the agreement announced by other bay area counties. reporter laura bernard is live with -- cornell barnard is live with how things are looking. cornell: lots of reaction, new rules coming out about who should wear masks. but here in marin county and others, masks will have to stay on. a lot of folks are not happy about it. >> you can't underestimate how happy the fitness industry in san francisco is right now. cornell: he thought it would never happen, but next week mask requirements will be lifted for james and other centers. cornell: you ask everybody,. >> it is tough to work out wea

democracy, stephanie.t of the problem is in the case of most of these individuals who have been requested and subpoenaed to come, they see themselves tied with personal loyalty to truch. they didn't see themselves in the public service of the united states. in some cases they were acting in their capacity so they weren't taking an oath to the constitution. this is a loyalty test to an individual, this is not them standing up or contemplaing standing up for loyalty to the united states. this is a sad day and like everyone else i'm disappointed to see they wouldn't come forward to at least set the record straight. as you're saying and your colleague is saying, this is still very early in the conversation here. >> you have a unique perspective. you come from europe, studied russia for many, many years. what is your take on what's happening in america right now? where are we headed? >> down a path so many other countries have done, including europe, russia, italy and germany difficult times in their histories.

so, i'm going to just turn to stephanie-- sorry, before we get to stephanie and the terrific panel that we have, i just want to say that this report you will see provides a thoughtful methodology for thinking about our economic engagement with china. it has a historical piece and then a way of looking at u.s. objectives and how to test whether we, you know, are better off being engaged or disengaged from china, and so you'll-- she'll go through some of that and the panel will help her dissect that. before we get to that, we're just delighted to have congressman french hill, republican from arkansas, join us to provide keynote remarks not just that, but to help frame the conversations about the u.s.-china relationship and particularly the financial relationship. congressman hill sits on the financial services, senior member of the financial services committee and the house of representatives and he's ranking member of the housing community development and insurance subcommittee and especially important for this conversation, he's also on the subcommittee on investor protection and capita
