problematic in that they are not going around taking a census of the fugitive slaves coming to the texas ranger estimated that there are 3,000 who had escaped. that isn't a very reliable source. the probl is that in 1821 own it also abolishedhe distinctions and in reality those distinctions remain but in the official documents it is very rare to find any documentation of someone's race and that makes it quite a bit harder to know whether or not. there are two exceptions from the data about race. first was 171 volumes are basically temporary residents that allow the foreigners to say and mexico for up to a year and i went through all of these and you need to be able to tell whom it was given so i went through those documents and i had a database and over the course of going through all those volumes in fact they were fugitive slaves and the reason for that is that they get the temporary residence. there is a separate process from becoming a naturalized citizen and if you want to become a naturalized citizen, you actually having had taken out or applied undermine your claim to stay there permanen

these are also quite problematic in that taking the consensus the texas ranger estimated there are 3000 enslaved people who had escaped. in the 1850s. he does not know that's not a very reliable source. mexican sources would be great. the problem with them is that in 1821 when mexico declared, it also abolished district those distinction remain. but in official documents like census, it is very, very rare to find any documentation of someone's race. that makes it quite a bit harder to know whether or not someone was discovering they were slave. there are six, thereto mexican sources i found that included some data about race. the first was 171 volumes, these are basically temporary resident visas. they allowed foreigners to stay in mexico for up to a year. and i went through all of these. they include physical descriptions because you need to be able to tell a person who has this is in fact the person to whom it was given. so i went through all of those documents. it took me a really long time for the had a database. and with the course of going to those volumes that was very unlikely t

a monday, fred was at his office, when a texas ranger showed up with an arrest warrant in hand. ron bruce, down from colorado, stood a few feet away. >> he looked at us almost in shock. and he said, "i can't believe you people are taking this serious." >> reporter: how was that for you to finally make that arrest? >> it felt great. it felt great. and at that point i said, "leslie, we're going to make this right." >> reporter: alex was in school when he was suddenly pulled out of class. >> you know, there are some texas rangers here to talk to me. and i kind of asked, you know, "what's going on? why are you really here?" "your father's been arrested." >> reporter: did you say anything back to them when they told you? >> i was like why? and they said oh, well, we can't tell you that. we just have some great proof. and i said, well, it took you four years. what exactly are you doing? they said we just can't tell you that. >> did you ever think for one second, well there, must be something, he must have done something for -- >> no. >> -- him to be arrested, to be going through this?

the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. the ranger: i yield to gentleman from texas, mr. arrington, for two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for two minutes. mr. arrington: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of this legislation to provide relief to our fellow americans, accelerate our nation's economic recovery and ensure our great nation comes back better, stronger and healthier than ever. i don't want to belabor my deep concerns with the process, except to say, mr. speaker, it is fundamentally broken and it was unnecessarily prolonged for purely political reasons. and the american people waited and waited for months. they deserve better, mr. speaker. but i want to thank my dear friend, fellow texan and ranking member, kay granger, our leader, kevin mccarthy. kevin brady and many others who helped finalize this agreement. it's far from perfect. i haven't met perfect legislation since coming to washington. but it does a good job of supporting our struggling families. and small businesses, health care professionals, teachers a

a texas rangers fan. a dedicated son and brother. he is not a criminal. yet the putin regime treated him like one. sentencing him to nine years in a russian prison for a crime he did not commit. in fact, trevor was only charged with a fabricated crime after the russian police discovered that he was a former u.s. marine. and thus in their eyes a political pawn that could be used. the evidence presented in the courtroom during his case was so flimsy that it induced laughter from those in the room, including the russian judge. what a joke. so i stand here today once again to call for trevor reed's immediate release so he can return home to his family, where he belongs. this is an issue very close to my heart. just a few months ago, trevor's mother flew out to d.c. to join me and congressman conaway as we introduced this resolution. she told us how her son was attending college in pursuit of the american dream before putin took that away from him. and she told us how her husband, joey reed, spends most of his time in russia working every single day to bring h

he is now in a sense the lone ranger, even sporting a little texas cowboy flare with a black bandannaan live and die by their brand image. so it makes me wonder if this move could change the perception of tesla. according to data collected by market research firm strategic vision, there's a relationship between political leanings and car buying habits. when you look at the top ten vehicle types by political leaning, some specific models overindex, meaning it's more heavily weighted toward a political group tracked by strategic vision. the top three for democrats honda civic sedan, honda accord sedan, subaru forester. top for republicans ford f150. and the tesla model 3 the number one car choice. the data says there are no sluts. some wealthy republicans still out for a pricey tesla. so how could this politically bullish move impact the brands of both tesla and musk? does he lose his base? does he win conservatives? joining me now to discuss is alexander edwards. he's president of the strategic vision and collected the data on political leanings and car buying habits for forbes. alexan
