in that same year of 1848, change roiled the west. that vast territory stretching past the mississippi river. gold was discovered in california, the u.s. annexed the vast oregon territory and also claimed what is now our enormous southwest as spoils from the mexican-american war. the rush to the new frontier began in earnest. the west differed from the rest of america in significant ways that affected women's positions starting with demography. until the turn of the century, white men significantly outnumbered white women there, particularly in towns and cities. and women's scarcity increased their value. overall supply and demand. so far less popular -- [inaudible] the west was also home to the great majority of the country's native american, hispanics and asians which conditioned the white anglo-saxon, protestant women who dominated at least early migration to be cast as maternal civilizers among savages in an alleged wilderness. indeed, the west quickly became a hoe case for the vir -- showcase for the virtuous homemaker in her snug

i think they want the west to think the invasion is imminent. they want the west to be scared. they want the west to say ok we need to do anything to avoid invasion. they want to us make concessions. they will agree not to invade is a great gesture. some analysts including in u.s., he will get all concessions by giving up nothing. that is the most likely scenario. that his plan a. plan b looks quite bad to putin. he will have a huge resistance in ukraine. the ukrainians are ready to apply their capabilities. they have huge gaps. we know about that. obviously, russia will be able to advance significantly in the case of full-scale invasion. recent statistics polls show a huge number of ukrainians are ready to participate in resistance. a small fraction are happy to live under russian rule. even if he gets territories, it would be difficult to imagine how they're going to run an occupational administration. they're spending 4 billion u.s. dollars per year, basically nonexistent economies -- if you can extrapolate that to the territory of ukraine. occupying two cities does not give

and what would just be for the east was out of the west altogether. i think there's a calculation that the problem that they do has is that if indeed such a scenario plays out, they don't will be shown to them a time yet because they to the what is what is done is an issue also guarantees that was really just pay for point money, right? you know, the baltic states were under the impression that they were being given actual money, the actual guarantees of security. the suddenly it got are going to be realizing in the way, does anyone really believe nato's ready to go to war? to nuclear war fall is stony or listen, wait here for me, i mean, you know and song, so that was, i think the name to blah, which is what is been going on. these is empty. guarantees that has been issuing like so much candy will be shown to be absolutely ridiculous because they don't know they isn't going to be able to go on behalf of these tiny stage as on it is going to have to stop backtracking and telling is stone. it, which is don't provoke russia. i mean, this is what you're d

water has always been a limited resource in the west. we have got this old saying in arizona that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. by the turn of the 19th century, as westward expansion took hold, a complex framework of case law and interstate water compacts allocated and in some cases overallocated surface water supplies. congress later established the bureau of reclamation to reclaim and maximize surface water in the west. today, however, abnormally dry conditions are reducing the availability of water for farms, for industry, and for our cities and towns. native fish and wildlife have never been so imperiled, and drought is making our forests more susceptible to wildfire. behind me, we have a graphic produced by the u.s. drought monitor program updated weekly, it shows the general reach of a regional drought that has persisted for the last 20 years. you can see how bad it is in the west. you know, some climate scientists call this a mega drought. tree ring and soil data indicates that we are experiencing the worst dro

there is plenty of people on the west. the done do want to see some kind of conflict here, because nato was painted itself into a, into a, into a corner here. it must succeed in nato in ukraine or cease to exist. it always creates these, the 0 some binary decisions george? yeah, i agree. i think there is some calculation that is indeed russian intervened militarily and re, incorporates within russia, the dom boss. then essentially, nature will be consolidated. nature will be able to impose it struck coney and sanctions on russia, a russia out of the swift financial transactions system. and what will just be for the east and out of the west altogether. i think there's a calculation that the problem that they do has is that if indeed such a scenario plays out, they do will be shown to them a tight yet because they to will it be what is, what is it it's done is an issue also guarantees that was really just pay for point money. right? you know, the baltic states were under the impression that they were being given actual money,

it is not the west side story many people remember. t in a sense that there is so much more context and if you're not going to come for the music, you should come for the characters, you should come for the dynamics, you should come for the dance in general, you should come for the colours. # today, all day i had the feeling...#- actor ansel elgort, known for his role in edgar wright's film baby driver, among others, plays the male lead in west side story, tony. what's forever? like, i want to be with you forever? you don't want to start maybe with, "i would like to take you out to coffee"? one of the best performances in the movie comes from rita moreno who was in the original 1961 west side story, then in the role of anita, maria's close confidant. in steven spielberg's movie, moreno plays a newly—created character, valentina, the widow of corner store owner doc. of course, west side story is notjust a presentation of appealing songs set in the 1950s, it deals with substantive matters. the film captures a world of violence and people

the realities that the west can be the solution to this problem because the west is the cause of the problem. why? why is that? why does the child mortality rate so high and somali, can explain that with that history and the present, right? when comes, when organizations like i make a particular gave all the countries all the evidence is this bed, the country is not good for the good? is there really good? so what's happening in this is there's an intervention in the economy, but it's actually making things worse in those countries. and one of the things we complain about a lot here is austerity privatization, neoliberalism. that's what they were due to africa, asia, south america, the last 50 years, right? in debt to keep them london and to keep the keep them poor. so actually who i am, if well bang you in all of these usa view aid that they are the new mechanisms of western imperial keep black and brand before. so that way people can be rich, you would have supported bar johnson's initial decision to cut got the 8 clearly. i know why he now we're getting the but this is the meeting

the west valley same logics. when you see the corrupt leader in africa, lead that when you see the policies of like we have enough enough out of it right now. government right now is not an easy enough to be surprised about how we're going to get to them because causing quite things meet on this show. we shouldn't be overly impressed. black and brown, people in the worst johnson cabinet will come on harris in the way this is going to be today. i just said please feel free to the queen and they may be permitted and it will be in a black dory. probably not because it has policies which are against what you tend to have. what's happening nowadays and in the states is no different . it is. there's actually the real identity politics in getting black and brown people to say and do things which and people and that's right. and that's that. but again, that's not new that's been going on for a long time as well. things go straight from you all the way from every center, right through the like with a tweet by the treasury.

they depend on the inflow of the money from the west. they operate in the global economic community and so forth and so on. so the economic capability in turning off his ability to be a member of the international finance system and so on that certainly helps. and then increasing the cost of the invasion of the point that his advisors, who are still lots of them thinking reasonably, they they would understand that it would be a disastrous adventure which could potentially destroy their regime inside russia, because as soon as they start losing thousands of people the day, not being able to hold any occupied territory, as soon as they will be losing planes, helicopters and so on, and the united states particle can help us to reach that, there will be denial and so on. when all the pictures of the destroyed equipment that killed people will be happening everyday, people in russia will realize that it doesn't make any sense, and they will have problems at home. problems with funding. problems with money. and problems with political stability

this is not as if there is just something coming from the west. ere is a seven-year war going on, and the fact that putin has been unable to deal with a corrupt, inefficient country in seven years, that undermines his image as a strongman, too, so now is a good time for him to try to rattle some cages. >> why do you think the russian leadership, putin in particular, is insisting on the security guarantees to be met before any de-escalation on the border with ukraine? >> i would say it is a bigger picture than just ukraine. russia right now is very adamant that there be no accession to the european union, and russia will do what it takes no matter what to prevent that, but the picture that is bigger, russia is demanding security guarantees, the entirety of the eastern flank of nato, and russia is demanding that right now very adamantly. right now, the situation has come to the forefront. it is very complicated. basically, the russian military had plans enacted more than 10 years ago to build up the russian military for the possibility of a big war i

it's just, i think the west has difficulty taking it seriously. i mean, that's the reason why russia recently has also changed the facts and the crumbling seems to be bar firmer and far more resolute in communicating what it needs to get . is that why joe barton is put forward this sort of proposal. tell us what you concern to i will listen. we can negotiate using or i'm not sure that that was dated by the change of tone and carmen. i think joe biden, you know, it's one thing when you buy for power, but once you come into the governing office, he's going to stand. i mean, it's a b and b capital of what you wish for because and nobody in his right mind understands politics, right? now, without having to bite him, he has so many problems on displayed, and i think he understands the america resources are limited. there is a very, very clear signs of the united states is trying to change in global positioning strategy. if you cannot finance, everybody narrows the club or, and the group of countries is eager to support that would rely on both strategica

we have had drought throughout the west. so this hearing on water is extremely important for all those farmers and ranchers. in particular, the ranchers out there trying to keep their herd and not shorten it more than they have to. particularly for our young renters. this hearing is important. it's about making sure we have water available throughout the west for our farmers and for our ranchers. so that they can do what they do better than anyone else in the world. and that is to provide the highest quality, lowest cost food supply that every single american benefits from. with that i would like to again thank the chair and ranking member and i appreciate the opportunity to introduce and welcome news elligson and her testimony today. >> thank you senator hoeven. and thank you to members of the committee. i am a fourth generation beef producer from st. anthony north dakota, and my husband and i raise cattle in southern -- county. i am so very blessed to be able to pass on the tradition. it is stewardship of the next generatio

the ukraine should never have been allowed to enter the west. stay of influenced in the 1st place, but now we are in a very dangerous situation. and as you said, the chance is often accidental breaking out between american russia a very distinct. i think i think there are circles in washington that we do want to have a conflict because isn't it really convenient, george, that all the u. s. won't commit troops. the u. k. will commit troops. ok. but if there's, if there's military action on the part of the russians, which is a reaction to what nato is doing, they will be sanctioned here. i mean i, if i were in the criminal and just enough of this, ok, there is a clear, a threat to our national security is existential. and we will address it. ok, whatever the cost, maybe what i, what bothers me is that i think that the, the west is just sleep walking. it's it, you know, they don't take it seriously. or somehow, nato was a virtuous organization which is really strange, made some military block. ok, you know what it was it on twitter, you know, don't

now about ukraine is in the west. fear of influence. the americans will not let the country go easily, therefore, it is down. so russia to take a very, very clinical action, because russia will go to war to defend its national security. and ukraine is russia's soft underbelly. under no circumstances can the russian government allow ukraine to be nato. often nato forces to be even more widely deployed in the country. because that would pose a most perilous threat. so the security or russia to the security of the russian people and also the americans could extend their missile defense system in eastern europe into ukraine. and that would mean that the russian strategic nuclear arsenal would be in dire trouble. so unless the americans relents and put in. so right though, as i said earlier, wrong, i don't think i pledge from them in writing would mean anything. but if they do put into rights and ukraine would not be admitted into the ranks of the west and military block. and if they do pull back from eastern europe and the both states, then

it was created in reaction to the integration of west germany, into nato, and $955.00. so basically, the both are packed was like a mirror alliance to nato. but while the pack was dissolved in 1991 nato is still very much alive and kicking and expanding since the end of the cold war. so the, just a lot of the saying is, what is the point of nathan anymore? you know, he's pose cold war gave. if not, as he suggests, the geopolitical project came to collecting all of these countries for the lifetime ago. we're in opposition to nathan now. nathan has previously offered membership to form a members of the both pucks, which is poland, which joined in 1999 to former soviet republics, such as the both states in 2004. so the question of ukraine joining nato is a 10 subject because ukraine is, of course, a country, please history, geography, and people are so intertwined with those of russia. now, as we know, tensions between nato and russia have been simmering for quite a while early this month. the head of nato young stoughton, but he rushes to be transparent about his military

this is not as if there's just something coming from the west. there's a 7 year war going on that was directed and bankrolled by russia and the fact that it's been unable to deal with a corrupt any country and 7 years that undermines as it is images a strong man to so now, okay, her time for him, detroit rattle some cages. however, why do you think the russia leadership put in, in particular, is insisting on the security guarantees to been mat before any death? the escalation on the border with ukraine. it's a bigger picture than just the ukraine for russia about ukraine. russia right now is very adamant. no, there'll be no need go. accession fission to the european union, and russia do what it takes, no matter what to prevent that. but the picture of this is big, your rush is demanding. security guarantees the entire, the, the eastern franco from a go. and russia is demanding that right now very adamant we. why right now, the situation has come to the forefront? well, there's a, that's a very complicated report would be very complicated than long

it will of provided security whether they wore the west once it or not. but i wonder how does this look to you? do you think post cold war security arrangement is still viable? when you go back in the ninety's, there was no longer the cold war. and in the ninety's, there were nato, the european union grew stretching out there to to rusher and all of that. and you know, for me, so the republics and they were agreement signed were on cooperation. and so there was not this contradiction. and it, we came back into the conversation with president putin, when he took off it. and there are no tweak it. there's nothing in there is coming to treat you where it was said that nato cannot expand beyond if you, if you specific issues which have to do with this drum unit cation and, and now, and there's one thing that i would like to highlight because it said that, you know, nato is reaching out to, to ukraine and when one of the major fights. busy had with president bush junior, was in 2008, the so called bucharest summit. at that stage. the united states actually want

it's about the west and the european union. and countries believe in human rights and democracy, opposing the tyrannical regimes of russia and china. so the u. s. has joined with you and other countries, pushback multilaterally on the kinds of practices that we see in russia and china. it's a scary world where tyranny and slave labor become routine. it's important that the west suppose that we can do that diplomatically. we can do that through dialogue and essentially building with russia and china if they will. but if they don't, and they persist in their ways, then there's clearly going to be a cost to pay for them. the us and the west off. okay. and what does that cost the saying is china worried about the cost? no, i don't mean china is really to worry about what the americans are pushing at the moment, driving in china. it has a liza who is incredibly confident in so and in the direction of travel which that china is going when can question that and they are good grounds to question whether the direction of trouble. she pi

but the reality is that the west can be the solution to this problem because the west is the cause of the problem. why? why is that? why does the child mortality rate so high in somali? explain that we have history and the present. when comes, when organizations like i, american particular gave all the countries, all the evidence is this bed of her countries is not good for the good. is there really good? um, so what's happening in this is there's an intervention in the economy, but it's actually making things worse in those countries. and one of the things we complain about a lot here is austerity privatization, neoliberalism when that's what they were due to. and africa, asia, south america, the last 50 years, the keep them in debt to keep them locked down and keep the keep them poor. so actually with i am, if well bang you, in all of these usa view aid that they are the new mechanisms of western impurity key, blacken branby poor. so that way people can be rich, you would have supported deborah johnson's initial decision to cut got the 8 clearly. i know why is it no good, but this i

been russia and the west over ukraine and a host of other issues. i wonder why would you even want this job? what are your aspirations? no, my aspirations are exactly for the reason that the unique security conference was established and that is talk, talk and meet. and discuss them the new security conference off chris this opportunity we are very fortunate to have had over the last years a representatives from over the world. and we are very happy to have president so as irregular for unique. so we're looking for it again under the condition that the out a real meeting very much. because this is one of the problems i think we ought to experience in official, in our private life that we don't have enough conversations. person. oh, well i think that's been a lease of our challenges or their time being given the scope of problems that exist been at russia and the west. i you said in the recent interview which figure that you have eliminated the term be well from your vocabulary. what do you have replaced it where we all remember the east west confront

i would add tribal governments hold substantial water rights in the west. are there tribes in the lower basin that are eager to do more to help and what can congress do to empower them? >> thank you for the question, senator kelly. indeed on a number of occasions they transfer to other users. however, there are some including the colorado indian tribe and others for limited restrictions. they are not allowed to transfer that off so congress could have said that the benefits and allow them to engage in transfers as well as that could supply water for the environment and as a matter of equity and ensure that they are able seems only fair. >> as they transfer water off of their tribal land and they are compensated what does that compel them to do? they have to start by conserving and then with that if congress could pass observation transfers but it's present for the colorado indian tribes. notwithstanding the fact. >> so there's significant motivation. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> i want to take some opportunity to thinking ahead and thinking outside of the

pope's service in the west was not done. pope would immediately take part in the following campaign of the siege against cornyn. now, during this campaign, pope would once again illustrate one of the personality traits we learned about: insubordination. during the campaign, pope would advance his column too quickly. and advance the stricture of moving no faster than the other elements of the union army. and he'll disobey an order by ordering an attack during the campaign about four miles east of corns itself. this new trait that has emerged, constantly disobeying orders, including, not expelling one of pope's tools to promote himself. henry haloc had ordered the removal of the press during the campaign and pope has again been insubordinate. he enjoys boasting of himself and gossiping about himself to the media and the press. he was no doubt an able man and a good soldier but he talked too much of himself and what he could do and ought to be done and he indulged, contrary to good discipline and all propriety and very free comm

the west valley se logics. when you see the corrupt leaders in africa, lead that when you see the both pieces like we have enough to follow. but right now, government right now, it's not an easy enough to be surprised about how we're going to get to them. because classical, i mean on this show we should be overly impressed. black and brown, people in the worst johnson cabinet will come all the harris in the way this is going to be today, but you denied me that i just said, please feel to do the queen a baby and it can be in a black dory. probably not because if i need to has policies which are against those are i so what you tend to have, what's happening now to speak to me and in the states is no different. it is. there's actually the, the real identity politics in getting black and brown people to say and do things with people and that, but again, that's not new that's been going on for a long time. was things can go straight from all the way from every center, right? through the late winter, a tweet by the tr

and the west. it makes perfect sense for russia to link the two. kremlin's war against ukraine has been a proxy war with the west, and intimidating ukraine has been an instrument to engage the u.s. and the west and what russia calls a more just international security order. which implies limited sovereignty for the states in the soviet space. the security guarantees that russia's demands includerussia s where they will become the commanders with other nato members committed not to deploy strike weapons systems with the characteristics of states that border as the russians read the principle of the indivisible security contrary to the democratic systems that they are based on with particular difficulty that each sovereign nation is entitled to. now, kremlin is on the ground with the receptiveness of the western governments to this idea , this notion of security guarantees and if rejected, of course, russia is likely to in bad faith have sentiment towards domestic discourse, but the calculation has been, i would argue, to have this proposal partially

so now suddenly, i mean at least some of the brighten balls in the west. i realize it, we do have a 2 front war on our hands, and there's no way we can take on 2. so at the same time, we don't think one of our own, i mean, we used to fighting against them 80, or panama a, or a rock or libya. we're not used to fighting soup about a 2 front war. so suddenly, a smarter western leaders are realizing that this is really working against us. and we know we're going to have to do something. but unfortunately that in which the fulton bugs are still mowing these stupid cliches. and then they don't quite realize that the base of those issues are now long and in market a publics around the world are poorly served by constantly, by the media characterizing this is a conflict between russia and ukraine, which it is not in the documents that have been sent to the united states and nato . my russia have to do with a security across the entire u, eurasian landmines. but the media constantly is focusing on one issue. these documents were, were composed mostly. i had a frustr
