york, new york. if we cannot embrace the possibility of times like these, then we fail to honor the legacy of the visionary new yorkers who came before us. the portrait of flank lynn roosevelt that hangs above the man several -- mantle of the governor's residence is a reminder of what leadership in a crisis is all about. first as governor, and then as president. fdr rebuilt the economy from the ground up after the crash of 29. more than giving people jobs, he gave people hope. policies and just help families lost everything, they spurred decades of economic growth and the birth of the middle class. again and again, he focused on the storms around him. one eye on the horizon. always planning for the day when the clouds would depart. that is exactly what we are doing now. this pandemic did not create all of the problems we're facing today. it simply forced us to hold up a mirror and see the cracks in our society. it was too easy to ignore before. this has created opportunity to redefine ourselves. as w

so new york at 6 degrees. but don't get too used to it. we'll put this a few days out on saturday. paint the colors on the dark of the purple to lower the temperature or back into the freezer here, new york minus 6, but it will feel about minus 14 for the u. s. gulf coast, the se stud settled, i nashville, may be picking up a few showers really across tennessee. now to the west. it's really after washington and oregon. more for california. we've got settled conditions, los angeles, 23 degrees. the trade winds are scooping up moisture off the caribbean sea that's running into the caribbean coast of central america. and we've had training storms in brazil, so this is the thunderstorms that park themselves over an area and just run back and forth. and of course, we've seen the flooding towards the north east of brazil, and also the se, but south of that we've got extreme heat by jablonka. you could set a new record temperature by the end of the week. that's it. we'll see again soon. take care. ah, with some people, mary, for love of is it can

there is an international design competition, the new york museum and basically they had designs or ideas and posters that were held in the national building museum in washington dc and you can imagine it going through room after room of these designs. there were 2000 designs that were submitted it 56 different countries around the world and it was really unbelievable to see these designs. so we went through a process on the designs and we selected i think six finalists predict and then we came up with a model in the concept design and the jury met again and it was consistent of family members myself and another woman who lost her father on the design competition committee, former secretaries of defense that were on it, artists and architects from around the world. and around the country to participate in. and carol anderson also worked on the core of engineers so it was a very interesting project and process but we basically came up with the design that was submitted by a couple from new york, and essentially a memorial unit for each person that died and was arranged according to the age

is that to a shortage of test hit new york and washington dc. all the epi centers of america cope 9 outbreak are recording the highest numbers of daily infections to date. and you can do reopening after one of these strict is locked down, the wealth schools will begin again. after being closed for any 2 years and nighttime kathy will also be lifted on january the as to now to one of the top stories in the life of archbishop desmond to to that as his funeral, he was remembered as a crusader of freedom. but his fight for justice was not limited to his home country. he lent his voice to resistance movements everywhere else, notably occupied palestinian territories. 10 years ago, the late brought constant david frost interviewed archbishop to to on al jazeera and asked him what he learned during his visit to the middle east. you said that once you saw in israel, something that was quite attend, the situation is have africa before freedom came to the black people or south africa where in many instances was it's during quite a distressing for one thin

the governors of maryland, massachusetts, new jersey and new york state declared emergencies wanting the power cuts. new york city's mer is telling people to stay indoors. roads slippery out here today. and so be careful with department annotation did a pass group of people out early with the best to be off the road to let yes and why do they job? they clean the streets. so be careful, bundle up, good day to stay home. if you don't have to go out. gabriel is under joining live here on the news from new york. gave of course new yorkers hardy bunch tough people get snow. they're most winters, but this time it's different. this time it is different. this potentially could be a historic storm here in the entire northeast of the united states. so let's 1st talk about new york though. then i'll get to the rest. we're in the heart of time square. and if they say the time squares across the roads of the world right now, this crossroads is cold. wet and snowy. we're right on broadway street here. just give you a little idea of how much snow has actually fallen. as you said, i mean it's not un

in new york, we have john rowley. he is a political animals, as well as a former foreign horse and in russia and in london we cross so unreal, concerned that he is the founder of ha, consulting in a foreign affairs analyst, hard gentleman crosstalk rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate it. okay, let's go to brian 1st in washington. i sent him introduction where we've had 2 weeks of high level ox um everyones positioning. um, i think what we know.

urban you were quoted in the new york times profile as saying books still have a cultural weight what were you referring to? well, i think there's something important about holding a book and a physical book and for you know a long time. um in the mid-2000s. there were a lot of obituaries written from publishing industry ebooks are going to take over and you know, the physical print book is dead. and i don't think that's true. it's certainly not been born on our experience and i i think you know when you when you have a book and and meaning 60 hundred thousand words printed between two bound covers it conveys authority it conveys gravitas allows you to go out and talk to media do podcasts and you know, i think sometimes the the medium through which you people hear about books and learn about books and decide to buy a book changes over time. i think publishing um in terms of the traditional book industry is strong certainly the covid era has borne that out. i think you know the publishing industry profits are up people or left with more times of time on their hands and and reading at h

let's just a start with taking you back to the day you saw and witnessed the attacks on new york. i understand that the 1st reaction of the team there at the state department and elsewhere, and the administration may have been to, to resign for george w bush to resign. dick cheney to resign and realized that they hadn't protected the homeland. i think they were contemplating resigning. i think they were contemplating the fear that the american people would react adversely towards her administration. after all, they had no political mandate. their political mandate was a supreme court decision. they were still being questioned all across the land, and indeed is still being question today. i'm fear and re was how they made the decisions they made in the aftermath. that's not a good environment in which to make national security decisions. the fear, as i indicated, was that they would get rid of us, but then there was a quick realization really coming after the debris, pow, and the megaphone in new york, where the president said, and the people who did this will hear from us. that is

we have the mayor of new york city, eric adams, calling this the most serious fire in modern new york city history. now there was a huge mobilization of the new york city fire department over 200 firefighters were mobilized. as you can see, this is a fire truck here behind me, you know, and they're still on the scene. at this point we have folks in hazmat suit in front of the building. we have like kind of a mobilization of people in hazmat suits that clean out the wreckage. that has happened. it's a very serious situation. 19 people are dead. 13 remain in critical condition. the new york city police department is on the scene. questions are being asked. this is the 2nd fire that we've seen just this week, and there was a very serious fire that happened on saturday as well. quite, quite a scene here. still a lot of law enforcement on the seeing a lot of fire department officials, a lot of media here to cover this. the whole community is kind of shocked to see what has happened here. the blaze has been put out at this point, but still a lot of serious questions are being asked a very s

that sad, this is america, and he still gets 3 more years. caleb martin, r t new york the new york times, which validly kind of a b d funds, the police movements in recent years now say that social justice, that it's like it may be linked to the drastic rise in us crime rate. we're bringing that story and more after the great, with all those driven by dreamers i spoke with you. there's things we dare to ask. oh, well, it's showing wrong when i was just a kid, an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves world, the more we choose to look so common ground ah, ah, the, the news news. welcome back. the west african nation of garner has completely rejected media reports for this, considering hosting an offshore migrant detention center for the u. k. is being claimed for britain wants to pause illegal migrants to 3rd party countries in africa such as gonna and were wanda u. k. newspapers reported details of a document dubbed operation dead meat, which contains among others a measure supposedly being drawn up by u. k. or thirty's to send migrants to countries such as rwanda and

i just want to talk more about "the new york times" article the ranking member mentioned. that several entities including the national park service the army corps district of columbia water utility share the responsibility for controlling flooding on the national mall either ongoing discussions that create a single employee designation for someone on our side to manage these risks including how to mitigate the nations history? >> i don't know about a single person but the problem is so vast the army corps of engineers would be the agency that is the most experienced with the most expertise in this area. it's important to understand that every unit the smithsonian institution has in place to protect its property it's important to understand we need redundancy even with a global government response we also need to take care of our own facilities. >> i put a little put on notice by the chair if it's appropriate relating to her member with the ranking member i do want to talk about the cost with "the new york times" article mentioned working looking for half a million dollars

new york is attempting to win itself off of fossil fuels. at the same time, it's taking another major source of carbon, free electricity, offline the indian point, nuclear power plant in 2019. this facility alone was responsible for 13 percent of the state's power. while environmentalists long push for it's closure, some are now arguing nuclear power is currently the only carbon free technology able to replace fossil fuels. they point out the state is building more natural gas facilities to make up the difference. if you look at the examples of germany and vermont and california, there are small studies that have shown that when you get rid of nuclear in general air pollution and carbon emissions actually increase. still others say to switch to renewables has to start happening for new york power to be carbon free by 2040 right now. barrier technology when solar technology, this tremendous effort underway to make those technologies less expensive, more reliable, and were possible smaller. all agree the need to keep the lights on and eliminat

and the new york times did precisely this. when i put out the caliph based on the testimony given by an imposter. it was completely untrue, but it catered to that stereotype. it was lurid. it was salacious. it was audio snuff, poor people being crucified and stabbed in the heart and the blood was everywhere to help it. i just do, i'm a fake killer. now. i didn't give him a chance to repent, stabbed him, but because of the long denigration of muslims with both within popular culture and within the media. it was believable. those stereotypes that play unfair are uneasy sound for the politicians. filmmakers and news networks that acted as travel agents for the war on terror discourse, political leaders, the world over have adopted that language. in some cases have copied and pasted the legislation to surveil and ultimately their own opposition. i speak to someone who was always against this sandra g. i always wanted to see the end of dictatorship. but i, like many iraqis did not want to see the destruction of an entire society an

the citizens of newze york state have as ballot members last november new york rejected the most. steve got to ask yourself why are washington democrats refusing toep accept the decision of new york voters? were they trying to set aside and overturn the people's law? our democratic colleagues have also talked about so-called voting rights bill for this is a bill to determine the attorney general intuit national elections czar. the attorney general would no in court he could end up doing it and run the legal system and push states around without having to persuade a judge first. so i am sure our democratic colleagues would have reacted well if republicans tried to break senate rules so bill barker micromanage elections in blue states i am sure that would have gone swimmingly on their side of the aisle. but ultimately madam president it runs even deeper than the fake hysteria, even deeper than voting laws. breaking the senate itself and nuking the filibuster would cause a massive political power outage for many millions of american citizens or entire states. so the filibuster is not

new york, deep blue new york, rejected the most. so you had to ask yourself, why are washington democrats refusing to accept the decision of new york voters? why are they trying to set aside these election results and overturn the people's rule? our democratic colleagues have also talked about a so-called voting rights bill. this is a bill to turn the partisan attorney general into a national elections as art. the attorney general would longer have to sue states in win in court. he could end up doing an end run around the legal system and push states around without having to persuade a judge first. so i'm sure i democratic colleagues would have reacted well if republicans had tried to break senate rules so that bill barr could micromanage elections in blue states. i'm sure that would have gone swimmingly. on their side of the aisle. but ultimately, madam president, the issue at stake this week runs deeper than this fake hysteria. even deeper than voting law. breaking the senate itself and nuking the filibuster would cause a massive

fueron palabras del alcalde de new york, hoy erick adams, haciendo referencia al asesinato de la mujer el pasado sÁbado. >>> lo que ocurriÓ el fin de semana es inaceptable, una personas que iba a trabajar fue empujada. >>> buscando retomar la confianza de pasajeros. autoridad dicen tener un plan sobre la mesa. >>> por lo que se comprometieron la gobernadora hochul y alcalde adams que ademÁs, de poner mÁs policÍas se va a presentar un plan donde se va a desplegar especialistas en salud para reconectar personas con los servicio que necesitan. la mta, comparte estos consejos para las miles de personas que abordan su tren. >>> si cae una persona a la vÍa, llame al 311, si nota que viene un tren encienda la luz de su celular para llamar la atenciÓn del conductor y este detenga el tren otra recomendaciÓn. >>> me apoyo aquÍ, cualquier persona me puede empujar o siempre estoy alejada que el tren por lo menos venga llegando un minuto. >>> segÚn cifras de ya policÍa de new york en hasta lo que va de aÑo se han reportado 96 crÍmenes en el transporte pÚblico del la ciudad en comparac

he's fighting in new york party. and while the public suffolk, every moment he stays, he's dragging the need for families who reminded of the sacrifice is the mean and standing his ground, the u. k. prime minister tells mpg has no intention of stuff and despite revelations of possible locked down violations. ah, the out to couch is coming pools is currently sitting over the prairies of central calendar. it's cold for the science but not as optically. so, as it has been now, that might change from the end of the week, or get a combination of warm moist air from the sas and cold from north of the time being . it's the sunshine. the breeze is not that strong. now, new york's minus one probably feels lovely and he's going to snow in toronto attempts he comes up to about minus 5. so that's the progress. this is during says, day than that cold wind come south again, keeping things below where they should be been or article coat. however, if you're in chicago, it goes from minus 2 to minus 8. the sun comes out on saturday,

i was the washington bureau chief for the new york times. and on that call, enlisting my agreement that the times would not do any reporting or disclose and of intelligence sources and methods. you just start to the washing and posts, and he ticked off the networks and everybody had agree. and the times ended up giving huge play some seriously flawed news stories that were based on for rocky defectors, who turned out to have very little information value about the current state of affairs and iraq. me in 2004, the times published and editorial may a copa of sorts admitting that some of its coverage leading up to the iraq war was not as rigorous as it should have been. it said editors who should have been challenging recorders and pressing for more skepticism, were perhaps too intent on rushing scoops into the paper. ah, the auditorium ended with a promise to continue aggressive reporting aimed at setting the record straight in the us military on leave, a massive series of air strikes on baghdad and other cities in iraq. and it was both shock

there was a recent new york times article. it came out recently looking at the march rain and the impact on the smithsonian. with the amount of rain we experienced in march, was that out of line for broad storm? maybe for march but not for july? >> we started seeing more and more. >> understood the frequency, but was the amount of rain that came down very abnormal to you in terms of what these facilities should be able to handle? >> yes. >> how far outside the norm would you consider the march storm? >> i don't have the number to be able to look at to answer you right now, but it is something that the design -- i would love if you could provide some comment into the record when we are done as to how significantly different this storm was. i think that would be helpful for us to understand the risk level. what we are looking at, we are sitting, many of the smithsonian buildings are sitting in a 100 year flood zone which means it has a 1% chance in any given year to experience significant flooding. over 30 years, almost one in t

the senior senator from new york put on a seminar. in fact, i can remember gagging several times in voting cloture on several judges to the ninth circuit knowing full well that once cloture was invoked they would be confirmed. this nonsense about filibustering judges was entirely an invention of the guys over here on the other psych, the ones you're looking at over here. they made it up. they started it, and this is where we ended up. after president bush was elected, they held a retreat i was just talking about and made a big deal about it. it was all a prelude to what followed, the serial filibustering of several of president bush's nominees, including miguel estrada, whose nomination to the d.c. circuit judge filibustered by senate democrats a record seven times. seven times. now they want to blow up the rules because republicans are following a precedent they themselves set, and i might add, we are following that president in a much more modest way and democrats did. -- tha democrats did. instead of picking a fight with nominees b

madam president, these are the direct quotes from the senator from new york. he called the filibuster the most important distinction between the senate and the house, and now he has turned his back on it. of course, my colleague from new york isn't the only one caught in a bind by previous statements and actions in 2018 the current senate majority whip, senator dick durbin says doing away with the filibuster would be the end of the senate as it was originally devised and created going back to our founding father and further admitted we have to acknowledge our respect for the minority and that's what the senate tries to do in its composition and procedure. remember in 2017 when 32 democrats signed a bipartisan letter urging senate leadership to keep intact. and most of the same senators who defended minority party rights are still in office today, but only one has expressed any opposition to senator schumer's plan to destroy the filibuster now that he is in the majority. and just last congress, most of the democratic caucus used a filibuster to block a police r

just a moment we will go live to new york off the bridge. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on a very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time to sit down and talk to rogers, driven by a dream shaped bank. concur sent those with theirs sinks. we dare to ask a good to happy with us today. so exactly a year on from the us capital riots, joe biden says it was all caused by a web of lies spun by his predecessor, although notably biting, got through his entire anniversary speech without once mentioning donald trump by name. trump himself, meanwhile, still assists the biden's election when was marked by fraud crossing life. now let's go to new york and artist caleb muffin. joining us live on the program, plenty to unpack from biden's speech. what can you tell us? sure. well, we heard us present, joe biden, speaking about the events of the previous year, january 6th, in which t

georgia has more early voting than new york. the democratic leader has tried to fear monger about one rural georgia county that condensed multiple voting locations into one. one rural georgia county. well, the county's overwhelmingly red, they were clearly not involved in suppressing democratic votes, and in that one count in 2020. so take a step back for a minute. president biden's story is that democracy is on death's door. but he spent nine months chasing a reckless taxing and spending spree before addressing it. must not be that much of an emergency. citizens are meant to believe a return of jim crow is on the table. but this is only president biden's sixth priority after he was blocked from spending $5 trillion on wind mills and welfare. democrats' own behavior refutes their false hysteria. 12 months ago the president said that politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path. that was just 12 months ago. but yesterday he poured a giant can of gasoline on the fire. 12 months ago the president said every

we like to say in new york. first we need to treat the violence that is holding the cities back. to do that, we need greater coordination with the fbi, atf and state law enforcement we said after the 9/11 attack we would never allow information sharing to prevent us from stopping that attack. we see terror every day in the inner cities. the same coordination that stopped planes from flying must be used to stop from the highways of death and our country particularly in black and brown and poor communities. [applause] we also need more funding for violence programs that address the root causes of crime. that means more resources for the skills training, job displacement and youth mentoring. you can't have a country who's predicted that 30% of the men and women in jail are dyslexic and 55% have learning disabilities. if you don't educate, you will incarcerate and we've placed too many people on the pathway of incarceration instead of education. next, we need to dollars for child care. any working class low income p

>> let's look at new york first. what does it mean? equity means using raw societal power to punish people based on skin color. in the context of new york we are seeing decisions about life and death a medical care being made according to race and skin color. this policy could be allowed to endorse in a very real sense th constitution will cease to be the supreme law of the land. this could become the relic of fallen civilization. health care for your loved ones your children and grandparents will be decided based on what country your ancestors come from. the experiment is dead. you are asking all new york doctors with concerns about thi policy to go to the website and get in touch with us to help us fight back and we are going to see what we can do here. >> this is so grotesque. if they reported this was happening the average voter would say that you can't kill people. they are proposing lifesaving medical from people because of skin color. >> this means unlimited government power. the power of life or death over innocent people. they

new york city is mayor eric adams is saying that this is the most serious buyer in modern new york city history. this was a situation where as you just heard, 19 people are dead. 9 of them are children who died. 13 people remain in critical condition with a massive amount of injuries that have taken place. now, as you can see behind me, even though the blaze has at this point been put out, there is still a huge immobilization of the new york city fire department. over 200 fire fighters were mobilized for this emergency efforts. and people from around the community are just shocked. now, it's interesting to know that there was another serious fire in new york city just yesterday. and we are, we are seeing kind of a rise in these dangerous and deadly fires taking place across the city. now, all across social media, in the aftermath, in the immediate aftermath of the fire, we saw some heretic, seen as you can see right there, we saw you know, flames pouring out of windows in the building. we thought people trying to get out of the building was an emergency situation. many floors of this hi

georgia has more early voting than new york. the democratic leader has tried to fear mongering about one rule georgia county -- one rule georgia county. the county is over -- overwhelmingly red. 70% republican and that one county. take a step back for a minute. president biden's story is that democracy is on death store. but he spent nine months chasing a reckless tax-and-spend spray before addressing it? must not be that much of an emergency. democrats believe a return of jim crow is on the table. but this is only president biden's sixth priority after he was blocked from spending $5 trillion on windmills and welfare. democrats own behavior refutes their false asteria. 12 months ago, the president said politics -- a raging fire. but yesterday, he ported giant can of gasoline on the fire. 12 months ago, the president said every disagreement doesn't have to be a cause for total war. but yesterday, he said anyone who opposes smashing the senate and letting democrats rewrite election law is a domestic enemy. and a traitor like jeff

new york in washington d. c, i re gimme a piece inches of america's coven 19 outbreak, recording the highest number of daily infections to date. 2022 began with more than 40. 5000 people in new york has been positive. nationally. there were 647000 new cases. but health officials say the number of fatalities is falling, even though cases have gone up by 60 percent. john, hindrance has more from washington d. c. every country had trouble celebrating new years this year, but it was especially muted here in the us. new york was the biggest of all the celebrations usually, but this year, 15000 people came. they all had to be masked and vaccinated, but that's a fraction of the 1000000 who usually attend that celebration in new york city. also there is a testing problem in the united states, so many people have either contract it omicron or have been concerned that they have that they've been flooding testing centers, president biden, his says, bats has said, that's a problem that he will fix. he is made a 500000000

the kids and families in canada who made apple pies and arranged to truck them to new york across the border are in iowa who set about to make a quilt for every single 911 family member. i think that is the underlying theme is the compassion that saw the light of day on september 11 and after words. >> thank you for those and

we discussed the issue with lawyer and former candidate for new york city council mani hello. i think what the public needs to see is this is just another case of how the rich and powerful get away with crime. if you actually look at the, the players i and the political landscape, i'm the, the albany district attorney david source has been a long time alley ally of governor promo. i know mr. sores was also part of promos, transitions team in 2006. he was also, you know, part of the moreland commission and, you know, the public may, many of yours might not, not remember this, but the morling commission and you know, was created i years ago in order to root out corruption. but then cuomo disbanded it when the corruption was pointing to him. so this is really a case of, you know, what political allies do, it shouldn't be just one person making that kind of decision. because that, that definitely leads to corruption. just commit to harp asked for the afternoon here in moscow, you'd be marching the weekly here, not a good to have a company, but back again at the top with a, with a

died in a huge place in new york apartment blog. things got pictures to show you here. dozens of o, it's a map and dozens of others reported sort of suffered severe, smoke, inhalation and are in a critical condition. you know, these, the pictures that more than 2055, these are in, gauged in tackling the place. witnesses claim people to jump from windows to escape, the flames. city authorities described the instant is the worst of its kind in decades has been a further twist. in the case of col. rittenhouse, if you remember, he was acquitted late last year in the killing of 2 people and wounding a 3rd during civil rest. and cannot sher in wisconsin. well now the man who pulled him a rifle when rittenhouse was too young to illegally purchase one himself as made a plea agreement on charges of delivering a dangerous weapon to a minus kellum opens. got the latest on it. in the year of 2021. the name kyle: written house with the u. s. public like a knife showing how beliefs can shape opinions about facts and fundamental rights. driving an

york. officials say that this is one of the deadliest fires in new york city history. it happened just before 11 o'clock this morning. and this 19 story apartment building behind me were told that the fire broke out just before 11 o'clock this morning. at 120 firefighters were on the scene. at this time we can tell you that 1900 people are confirmed dead and 9 of them being children, 10 adults does is also suffering from smoking. elation right now the investigation is underway, but initial report suggest that the fire was far by a malfunctioning face. heater right now, we know that dozens of families are displayed and red cross is on the scene to help them. lawyers for another joke of edge have told in australian court they believe his recent recovery from cope with 1900 exempted him from vaccination for entry into the country. the deportation hearing was delayed after a huge surge and people trying to watch the live stream calls that the crash, the world number one tennis player who wants to defend his australian open title was denied entry and detained when he landed

as we like to say in new york. first, we need to treat the cancer of violence that's holding our -- holding our cities back. to do that, we need greater coordination with the f.b.i., a.t.f. and state law enforcement. we said after the 9/11 attacks we were never allowing information sharing to prevent us from stopping that attack. we see terror every day in the inner cities. that same coordination that stopped planes from fly nowrg buildings must be used to stop bullets from carving high rates of death in our country particularly in black and brown and poorer communities. let's show that same energy. we also need more funding for violence interruptors programs that address the root causes of crime. that means more resources for skilled training, job placement and youth mentoring. you can't have the country which predicted that 30% of the men and women in jail are dyslexic and 55% of the prisoners in likers island have learning disabilities if you don't educate, you will incarcerate and we are place -- we have placed

it comes off at the new york times, saw that an unnamed official at moscow was putting out tea of embassy staff ahead of invading you frame for a ministry folks. the one where he was a thought about no to the printing such since jason is liars, has turned worse than outlets into little more than anti rushing pure operations. americas new york times newspaper is now an agent of ukraine, secure to service through it. the source of this found the structure has promoted another support sensation suggesting that the russian embassy and keith is being evacuated, the russian embassy and conceal it's general in ukraine, operating as normal. and the american journalists have lost their culture of checking published data, even though we have published many materials on this issue. and other times piece is just the latest center litany of mainstream claims that moscow's voting and ukrainian invasion folks between russia, the u. s. and native so far fail the damp intentions. on the contrary, western politicians recently ramped up threats of new sanctions against a criminal. meanwhile, native states o

york and connecticut -- like new york and connecticut and the president's home state of delaware. they also forget that many -- they also forgot that many republican states have already implemented no-excuse absentee voting. so i was an election official for 20 years. i am absolutely confident that nobody takes the security of the elections and the confidence in the elections and the ability to register and vote in an easy way more seriously than people who are directly answerable to their neighbors if they're the local official or to the people that vote for them if they're the state official. president obama said in 2016 that the diversity of this statewide system was one of the strengths of our system, the state-run system, and one of the reasons it would make it really hard for any outside entity, any foreign entity, any outside group to truly try to rig a national election. so i've got more to say. i'm going to submit the rest of my remarks for the record. i'm sure there will be more time to talk about this next week. ballot harvesting, 62% of people in one poll are opposed t

she became governor after the resignation of andrew cuomo and talked about becoming new york's first woman governor as well as the pandemic, infrastructure investments, climate change and education priorities . this runs 35
