i was there and my 17-year-old daughter vivian, who is adopted from haiti, all of this was erupting, it was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room and and my children, to this point in their lives, have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon, where they have not experienced hatred or violence. for vivian to understand there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one day of that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it is a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. >> very personal moment there today. terry moran back with us from the hill again tonight. and terry, we all watched as

vivian: go for it. general jones: i should probably start out by quoting daniel , who president eisenhower used to like to quote and one of his famous quotes was america is great because it is good. that is something that we know through the century that is very complex and different from the 20th century. nationalconcept of security and everything it entails is much broader. it is all happening at a much more rapid pace than ever before. i'm sure that john would agree with this. facing things every single day is almost doubled, does the pace of things every single day has almost doubled, if not triple. the ability to deal with the 24-hour news cycle, technology, and the never ending demand of answers for complex questions never seems to go away. characteristic has a great deal to do with the effectiveness of the national security council. we should be as strategic as possible and we should serve as a coordinating mechanism across highlight they to presidency, those things he or she has in real time. th

>> well, i think, vivian, the one thing that the u.s. has to do is send a very strong message that we are committed to remaining a nation of great influence and we are going to do those things that are required in order to maintain that greatness, akin to our role in the 20th century. i think there's still doubt about our commitment. if you look at the middle east, for example, and going back to the obama administration, you know, we -- towards the end of that administration, the arab world was seriously doubting our commitment. and as a result players like russia and others, you know, filled the gap. we hear talk about pulling forces back to the continental united states from overseas, in europe in particular. that's worrisome to our friends and allies. so i think that one of the first things that we have to do is come out with a very clear policy statement that is backed up by clear action that we are committed, we do want to maintain our position as the global leader. we know that china is a real threat. we know that russia is a nuisa

next is vivian from haiti. when vivian arrived, she was so weak we were told she might never talk or walk normally, but now she deadlifts as much as the male athletes in our gymnasium and i can tell you she has no trouble talking. seems to have a math gene -- and it seems to have a math gene. and jesse, who describes -- jp described the happy-go-lucky attitude that is still his signature trait. liam is strong, smart, and kind, and it still loves watching movies with mom and dad. 10-year-old juliet is already pursuing her goal of becoming an author by writing multiple essays and short stories, one of which she recently submitted for publication. our youngest, benjamin, is at home with friends. benjamin has down syndrome and is the unanimous favorite of the family. he was calling out our names as he saw the kids in the back. my own siblings are here. some in the searing -- some in this hearing room and some nearby. my kids are my oldest and dearest friends. we have seen them through the hardest parts of life and

vivian came to us from haiti. when she arrived, she was so weak that we were told she might never walk or talk normally. she now deadlifts as much as the male athletes at our gym, and i assure you that she has no trouble talking. tess is 16, and while she shares her parents' love for the liberal arts, she also has a math gene that seems to have skipped her parents' generation. john peter joined us shortly after the devastating earthquake in haiti, and jesse, who brought him home, still describes the shock on j.p.'s face when he got off the plane in wintertime chicago. once that shock wore off, j.p. assumed the happy-go-lucky attitude that is still his signature trait. liam is smart, strong, and kind, and, to our delight, he still loves watching movies with mom and dad. 10-year-old juliet is already pursuing her goal of becoming an author by writing multiple essays and short stories, including one she recently submitted for publication. and our youngest, regimen, is at home with friends. benjamin has down syndrome,

we realize we are not the official word, as vivian said, in the country. what we do is we do a very strong mathematical calculation based on the count and win a failing candidate has no path to catch up or to win, mathematically, we tell the public that that person has won that race or that state. the networks also all do this, each of us does it independently. for the record, our methodology is laid out in full transparency on our website at ap.org. ast is how the system works, we know, the electoral college is how the president is decided. why newsfact, is organizations focus on battleground states. some states, under this system, are in fact more critical and others less critical. some people's votes to have more impact than others, that is just the way the system is set up. for example, if a candidate meets -- beat another candidate by 100 votes in florida, they get all of florida's electoral votes. that is one of the most critical thing to keep in mind when looking at news coverage of election night. anddly, absentee, early, mail-in voting has been gr

we are going to talk about that long game coming up next with our next guest, vivian a's are -- vivian azar. this is bloomberg. ♪ romaine: today, we are focused on u.s. cities and states trying to raise revenue to make up for lost money because of the pandemic lockdown. one way is through legalized marijuana, which is showing up on a lot of balance this election. years,viously, for momentum towards increased legalization, decriminalization, medical marijuana, recreational, there has been momentum. but now, states in a serious budget all, this is an obvious area. cannabis on the pallet in new , arizona, south dakota, and mississippi. it is all these ways that they are getting more cannabis, also gaming as well, something we have seen potentially drive further revenue. joe: joining us with further insight is senior research analyst vivien azer. thank you for joining us. how much is this coming election, combined with this sort of tax revenue need so many cities and states around the country, primed to create a moment for acceleration of legal cannabis? vivien: we think there is a a lot o

vivian, what i can see, the facts from this new york post story are not being questioned at least not these e-mails appear to be genuine. and to indicate the ukrainian was grateful for a meeting so if the social networks didn't restrict distribution of a story on president trump's taxes, a couple weeks ago, we don't know where that information came from or how they obtained it. how can they justify restricting distribution of this one >> well, there's a big difference between "the new york post" story and "the new york times" story about trump taxes what the reason twitter did not share -- has throttled the story and facebook has as well, in twitter's case, it's because "the new york post" story linked to the documents the providence of which has not been verified had there been no link to documents, documents were imbedded in the article, they swront done -- they wouldn't have done it the problem with what twitter and facebook did yesterday, they fail to show their work. >> because they linked to documents which would be primary materials at least that they're claiming that, seems mo

benefit of growing up in a cocoon where they have not yet experienced hatred or violence and for vivian, to understand this could be her brother or the son she might have one day, that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it's a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. sen. durbin: and so, i would like to ask, as an originalist who has a passion for history -- i can't imagine you can separate the 2 --to reflect on the history of this country. where are we today on the issue with race? some argue it's fine. you don't even have to teach children about the history of slavery or discrimination. others say there's implicit bias in so many aspects of american life that we have to be very candid. others go further and say, no, it's systemic racism built into america and we have to be much more when tate in our dressing be much more pointed in our addressing it. have you feel? ange barrett: i think it's entirely uncontroversial an obvious statement that racism persists in our country. as to putting my finger on the nature of the problem, whether, as you

thank you vivian. thank you all for joining this important meeting. so we heard earlier that there will be litigation around this election part i can assure you there will be. let me just give a lens into the way we are looking at this in terms of the african-american community. i think it might be of interest to you. we have a number of concerns, two of them are really top of mind at this moment. the first one is around intimidation itself. the issue of potential violence, the issue of individuals and groups intimidating black voters at the polls. a lot of what we heard of the past two weeks suggests this is not an irrational concern and fear for us to have. on so, we can expect that they're going to be a number of concerns about whether there had been voter suppression that happens in real time at the polls. and frankly, as of already started to see early voting is in play for this as well. this may mean there are real concerns on the backend of whether all voters in particular polling places were able to participate equally in the political process

cuando elsa va al basurero, deja a nicole en la casa sola para que cuide a vivian de 1 año y a oscar, pero yo los encomiendo a dios, que sea dios que me los guarde, me los cuide. elsa y sus dos hijos mayores pasarán medio día buscando entre montañas de basura, esperando poder ganar un poco de dinero. yo en el crematorio lo que hago es, recojo prensa. esta semana, como ha estado el clima bien así, no hemos recogido prensas ni papelillos. solo hemos estado recogiendo plásticos, bote clarito y así bote verde. lo traemos, conseguimos al horno, venimos y lo vendemos. nos pagan a lempira la libra. a veces, hacemos 40 lempiras, 30 lempiras, 50 cuando más, y cuando el tiempo está -- que está lloviendo no podemos trabajar, porque hay demasiado vidrio, demasiada agua, hay peligro de caerse uno y que lo agarre un carro o la máquina, porque la máquina anda ahí regando la basura. mientras elsa y los niños trabajan, nicole cuida de los más pequeños lo mejor que puede. pero por supuesto, hay muy poco que nicole puede hacer para proteger a sus hermanos. si llegara a pasar algo malo, un incendio, una

i was there and my 17-year-old daughter vivian, who is adopted from haiti, all of this was erupting, it was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room and and my children, to this point in their lives, have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon, where they have not experienced hatred or violence. for vivian to understand there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one day of that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it is a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. >> very personal moment there today. terry moran back with us from the hill again tonight. and terry, we all watched as judge barrett was pressed today on the affordable care act, on roe versus wade, on same sex marriage. and like many supreme court nominees before her, she was very careful to say as little as possible on how she would rule. so, bottom line, for folks watching at home tonight, did anything happen today to take this nomination offcourse? >> reporter: no, david. not a thing. but that was to be expected, in part because democrats not hav

hey, vivian! whilst getting his core message out — vote for me in the upcoming state election. windchime and glissando. looks good, vivian! but with a huge rise in political content on social media platforms like tiktok, some of the messages are more opaque. if someone approaches you and says this tiktok looks dodgy, how long does it actually take? i'm with the institute for strategic dialogue in london, who scour the internet, checking the veracity of online content. we are interested whether it's being used as a place to spread hate, disinformation and malicious content around the election. have you found any evidence for tiktok videos being used to spread election misinformation? a huge amount. and the reality is you don't have to dig around to find it. so, one example, which is the very first video that comes up if you do a blanket search for #votebymail on tiktok. 2020 is an extremely important year, and i can tell you, as i come from south africa, which is a communist country... the top reco

vivian, i was reading your report, from the very beginning. certain people inside the white house saying do not make this look like people need to worry. >> reporter: that's right, john. what began as the president's desire to save face and avoid a public panic as we've heard him say began with internal wrangling at the white house and the national security council right across the street about what the policy should be intirnlly for employees of the government. my long read if you go to cnn.com real dives into that wrangling, especially on two issues, messaging to the public and these things masks, whether or not to wear them, and it began with efforts by senior administration officials, senior national security officials to get staff on the national security council and the white house to wear masks. one particular person, deputy secretary mat pottinger who was a china expert who had been watching this closely was very alarmed of what he was seeing in china and started to get the word out to senior officials about the need to protect staff s

my name is vivian schiller and i'm the director of aspen digital. we're blunt glad you could be with us today. the new york times bestseller list can often seem to be a veneer of the national psyche and this year it seems to reflect a nation going through an awakening on matters of race. books written by people of color and about matters of race and racism have filled those lists, both fiction and nonfiction. that's the good news. sadly the publishing industry does not necessarily always reflect that reality. the recent twitter protest hashtag publishing pay me exposed the disparity in the industry between black and nonblack authors. there are few people of color who serve as publishing staff or literary agents and even fewer who operate at decision-making levels and for those who are published, sometimes the marketing exposure can be sub optimal. this year of national reckoning on racism we're going to take a look at the industry, the book publishing industry and whether it can bring more racial diversity to the field. this is part of our changing

so we -- i was expecting tess when we went and got vivian. so she and tess function, we call them our fraternal twins. they're in the same grade. it's really enriched our family immeasurably. and once we had adopted vivian, at that point, then we made the decision we definitely wanted to adopt again. and so several years later, john peter entered our family. >> so your children have been wonderfully well behaved. i think you are an amazing role model for little girls. what advice would you give little girls? >> well, what i am saying is not designed -- my brother now has left so thinking what my dad told me, about anything boys can do, girls can do. boys are great, too. >> thank you. >> thank you. senator klobuchar. >> thank you, mr. chair. welcome again, judge. since i have the draw to always follow senator cruz, i did want to make one thing clear after listening to that for a half hour that joe biden is catholic, and he is a man of faith. and then i want to turn to something else, and that is that we need a reset here, in my mind, for the p

cnn national security correspondent vivian salama is following these developments and joining us from the nation's capital. what are you hearing? >> contingency planning isn't new surrounding the election, especially a general election and security in d.c. is always pretty tight when we have a general. but the potential for uncertainty surrounding the results immediately on election night has federal, state and local authorities on high alert. and they are taking a lot of precautions and have been planning for almost a year for this upcoming election night. so we have secret service, the fbi and other federal agencies that are getting new equipment, even laser blocking equipment for the secret service and other things for the potential there could be some unrest surrounding -- within protests that just basically spin out of control. so what authorities have been telling me is that either way, there are several scenarios if president trump wins, if vice president biden wins or if we have no results on election night. the potential for left wing groups, very far left wing or far right w

. >> my 17-year-old daughter, vivian, who's adopted from haiti, all of this was erupting. it was difficult for her. we wept together in my room and it was also difficult for my daughter, julia. who's 10. i had to explain some of this to them. i mean, my children, to this point in their lives, have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon where they have not yet experienced hatred or violence. >> reporter: a mother of seven children is hoping to replace ruth bader ginsburg on the supreme court. raj. >> reporter: long days turning into a long night. this is day two of four of the senate hearings of questioning. it's tense, revealing and often times evasive, meaning the judge. you may be wondering this is important because a republican majority is likely to approve her. we do know that. so, is this a waste of time? it's a way for the public to know where she stands on several key issues and a way to send her a message as to what the public is looking for. we mentioned it continues. it started this morning and continuing right now. the republican from tennessee is now asking

and for vivian, you know, to understand that there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one day, of that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it's a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. >> andrea mitchell, what i found about this, this was one of the few questions that it wasn't a judge who responded, it was an american citizen, a mom, you know, it was one of the rare moments where -- and i kind of wish more senators would ask more questions like that so you find out the fuller picture of who these folks are. >> and that made her so relatable. this is a white mom with black children, explaining the talk that black parents have had to communicate to their kids for generations, for centuries, if you will. and this is, you know, an interracial family, a multiracial family. it's something that is more and more present in america, something not conceived perhaps by some people in the senate, but others, there were people on this panel who have black grandchildren and can relate to this. it's just very accessible and touching

so i was there and my 17-year-old daughter vivian who is adopted from haiti, all of this was erupting. it was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room. it was also difficult for my daughter julia who is 10. i had to try to explain some of this to them. my children to this point in their lives have had the benefit of growing up in a cocoon where they have not yet experienced hatred or violence. for vivian, to understand there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one day of that kind of brutality has been an ongoing conversation. it's a difficult one for us like it is for americans all over the country. >> so i'd like to ask you as an originalist who obviously has a passion for history, i can't imagine that you can separate the two, to reflect on the history of this country. where are we today when it comes to the issue of race? some argue it's fine, everything is fine and you don't even have to teach children about the history of slavery or discrimination. others say there's implicit bias in so many aspects of american life that we have to be very candid

i have two black children, that was very, very personal for my family and my 17-year-old daughter vivian who's adopted from haiti all of this was erupting it was very difficult for her. we wept together in my room. >> reporter: barrett asked if she could be identified as like justice ginsburg. >> if i'm confirmed, you'll not be getting justice ska lee yachl you'll be getting justice barrett. i certainly hope everyone has confidence in my integrity than to be used as a pawn to decide for the american people. >> citing that the president cannot delay an election, she would nottance that. >> i would need to hear arguments from the litigants and read briefs. so, you know, if i give off-the-cuff answers, then i would be basically a legal pundit, ant i don't think we want judges to be legal pundits. >> this morning the president is praising barrett's performance and the democrats are calling the hearing itself a sham. but nothing that happened here tuesday is expected to change a part line vote on thursday that would send barrett's nomination to the full senate phillip? >> partisan and procedu

. >> my name is vivian and i'm secular director, a program of the aspen institute. welcome to those of you joining us on zoom and also viewers on c-span. this is no ordinary election year. october is proving to be an advocate calendar of surprises. as a reminder as a counter to election day, we are facing record levels of mail-in voting, concerns about united states postal service, confusion about drop boxes, polling places in limited capacity due to the pandemic. allocations about dollars locked and stolen. as of last night, questions about what happens if one candidate is incapacitated. it's important to remember only three days ago, though many of us, it seems like to go, the president alleged to a national audience and with no evidence that mail-in voting to fraud and he refused to say he will accept the results of the election. we say we are bracing ourselves for what happens when the polls close november 3. it is important to say that that does not indicate the results are illegitimate. may be used to learning results hours after the polls closed but in likeli

for vivian to understand that there would be a risk to her brother or the son she might have one dayof brutality has been an ongoing conversation and it's a difficult one for us, like it is for americans all over the country. >> why did you ask the question and what do you think of the answer? >> well, i think the answer was very real and very convincing and personal and i think it reflects what many families across america went through and the denial by some of the administration that we are dealing with systemic racism as a result of police going way beyond their rights and doing things that aren't acceptable is totally unacceptable as in the george floyd instance, was the reason that she gave that answer and i thought it was a very credible answer. but the point i was getting to is she has a written decision which says a convicted felon can be denied a right to vote but cannot be denied a right to buy an ak-47. i think that's upside down and we know that the right to vote has been particularly a problem when it comes to minorities in america, suppressing the vote, we even see it n

cnn's vivian solana has reporting for us.ith such a high stakes election it's understandable that people are anxious, especially considering that we may not have a clear winner on election night. what have you learned? >> reporter: that's right, boris. and it's actually that uncertainty that has law enforcement officials at the federal, state and local level on high alert. now, if you look across the capital here in dc, you see preparations are under way. lafayette park across from the white house and was the scene of protests over the summer, that's been gated off largely to the public and the parameters have been increasing by the day, essentially. we also see secret service officials training around the area. they've been getting new equipment. and you see a greater presence of law enforcement growing as we get closer to november 3rd. now, that is actually standard protocol and officials tell me that they have been preparing for this election, like they do with most general elections, for about a year now. there have been
