states into multiple seats. >> six states organic members of congress texas, florida, north carolina, oregon, montana and colorado seven states are losing a member of congress new york, pennsylvania michigan, ohio, illinois and west virginia. when people move out of a state like illinois or west virginia, two states have lost a population each are you losing a seat as well, do they take the politics with them or frustration of the politics? >> we increasingly hear of voters were throwing their hands up in the air become to inhospitable for their beliefs and choosing to move elsewhere. it takes a lot of vigorous research to determine the size of that affects, how blue or red estate becomes. but, what we know is that over time as voters either choose to live in places that are more politically comfortable or as independent voters began to lean more and more towards whatever party isn't dominant because of an echo chamber affect whether social media or the predominant feeling in their community that we are seeing more geographic polarization. that plays into redistricting in a big way.

all swing states. in every single one of those states we are seeing an extreme republican run who is either at the insurrection or spreading the big lie. we cannot have key election officers in these states not believe in democracy and the will of the people. the good thing is is that we are working really hard, we have great candidates. of course great incumbents, but great candidates emerging where we have open seats. we have a pathway to every one of these seats. although it seems that the weight of the world, the weight of democracy is on our shoulders and we have to push through, i'm very hopeful we are going to win these seats. please follow us on twitter, come to events, tell your friends, tell your neighbors to check out the democratic association of secretaries of state because we are the people defending democracy so that every eligible american, republican, democrat, and independent alike, has access to safe and secure elections. and has the ability to choose who their elected officials will

into blue states. these positions matter. attorneys general in the united states matter. >> next, i will ask our co-chair , agent healey, we have heard about the great work that attorneys general are doing. what can these -- what are some ways that people can get involved with this panel so we can keep our democratic ag's? >> just what general nessel just said. we have mark in virginia. we have to get him reelected. i want to be really clear. if you don't have democratic attorneys general in these underground states, that is a serious issue for democracy. we were the ones who could go to court. -- who can go to court, represent the state, stop donald trump from his shameful acts time and time again. they are now perpetrated by his followers to say nothing of the rule of law, nothing of the constitution, nothing of their american brothers and system, -- sisters. the way they treated this whole thing. go to our website and you can read about our wonderful ag's and candidates. we are looking to compete he

the agent of the state. [inaudible] >> that is just contesting the premise the attorney general could not of appealed that he would've taken in the first place but. >> that's not my position my position stepping outside the hypothetical because of the way the stipulation was written the attorney general could have appealed because it is consistent with him reserving his rights to participate in any subsequent appeal and benefit from any favorable ruling for. >> i apologize for pressing on this. maybe i'm just not understanding and it may be my fault entirely. if you agree and that torres type case to grant intervention rights which i take you to agree, that's a very simple case. it seems to me the petitioners would say that is exactly what happened here because the ag could have appealed, it didn't and is now seeking intervention. if we assume that's the point the ag could have appealed, why doesn't the same result follow? and buffoon hill the fact the virginia house of delegates participated in that case br

the states. well, six of them are gaining members of congress, florida, montana, colorado, seven states are losing a member of congress, ohio, illinois and other states as well. and do they take the politics with them? are they moving out of frustration? >> we are increasingly hearing of voters that are throwing their hands up in the air with the state becoming inhospitable for their political beliefs. now it takes a lot of rigorous research to determine the size and that affects and how blue or red state becomes. and what we know is that over time as voters choose to live in places that are politically more comfortable, those that are independent voters that are leaning more towards whichever party is dominant because of this echo chamber effect, whether it is social media or a predominant feeling in the community, we are seeing more and more geographic polarization and that plays into reject the redistricting and a big way. every precinct that was 5050 between the party it would be impossible f

without in theg swing states we no longer have a democracy in the united states of america. we have these massive efforts. it was the then president of the united states and but for the fact we had an attorney general in pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan and nevada we simply would not have had an outcome where the person who won those states so joe biden won the state of michigan by 154,000 votes. that's not even close. but effort t after effort wa made. whether it was joining with my democratic colleagues to ensure the global pandemic that people have the ability to even go to vote by mail they would never be received in time whether you had things b like the republican colleagues trying to decertify 5.5 million that would have been disenfranchised had that occurred to try to decertify the election and by d doing so november 4th of this year i will be arguing for the disbarment so people can never step into the court of law and make those unsupported completely and in doing so undermine our very democracy. that person would have gone along with of the lawsuit and it w

imperialism in your absence to draw what was initially what were the first states when the united states was developed draw a quick map of what to united states look like not expounding. i don't have those about how many states because i might tip them off but most of them do drugs in the continental i got them from them immediately, it is a subconscious memphis destiny that it will always be but of course it wasn't always to be it took more than 100 years of daily unrelenting warfare to march across the continent later invasion of mexico and annexation of half of mexico. in that time the continent was not sold until 1890 which is a marker of the massacre in 1890 is a moment when all native people were herded onto concentration camps guarded by army bases and later became reservations, this is something that can be mapped i don't think educators are telling students as or throwing them but it's so pervasive in the national consciousness the people in the united states that they see as having been that way, they immediately know they made a mistake and that can't be and it's a way of teac

the future of our state's estate. so this electionseason on november 2, i ask you to ask yourself are you better off today than you were four years ago . i ask for your vote. [applause]. >> thank you both and that brings us to the end of our debate. we thank the candidates for taking part . we hope tonight will help was helpful and informative to help you make your decision for. >> thank you to all the partners, new jersey advanced media , univision 41. . and for this beautiful facility tonight, i'm brian in philadelphia. >> i'm with w abc. we encourage you to exercise your right to vote on tuesday november 2,but not .

that kind of surveillance police state is a scary state of affairs. the judiciary committee's report on donald trump's attempt to use the doj to his own ends is a chilling thing to keep in mind when we are talking about the integrity of democracy and the next presidential election and frankly, the midterms leading up to that. in my view that will dictate what happens to the presidential election. host: that judiciary report issued last week. what we found out during this eight month investigation, how close do you think we came at the end of 2020, beginning of 2021 to a full-blown constitutional crisis? guest: we absolutely were probably there. we were there. i live outside washington dc. i was appalled watching people literally climbing over and desecrating the capitol. we have elected officials running for their lives, as well as those of their staff, many republicans still met and what was a ceremonial process of recognizing the state's certifications of their electors. that is something states do, they hand it to the congress. the january 6 moment

we fought in state after state and now have it in over two dozen states. at the same time we did that just a small group of women broke up the hearing for the 18 rolled votes there finally be a hearing in the senate on the equal rights amendment for the reason it's taken so long, this 100 years as we lost about 50 of them. and i mean 50 bright wonderful leaders, how did we lose them? they botched it up inmmittee. they would not vote. in fact to get the first vote to ratify in the house took 50 years because it wasn't boxed up and the judiciary committee and they would not allow a vote. why would they allow a vote? this is not been so popular they knew it would pass overwhelmingly when it is placed on the floor. and when it was after a discharge petition and i had the pleasure to work with hereginning of my own career path 354 -- 24 people great overwhelmingly i would say. to get it going in the senate we disrupted the hearings of the 18-year-old vote. and got a promise a cosponsor in the senate or the major sponsor in the senate they would finally hold hea

the united states has led the world in reducing emissions. we've reduced emissions more than the next 12 emissions reducing countries combined. during that period as we've led the world in reducing emissions and bringing energy solution to the table, for every one ton of emissions we've reduced china increased by four. as we continue out of the quandary there will be a 50% increase on global demand moving forward. we've got to be aware of that and make sure the solutions we make available, that they're abundant and affordable because some of these third world countries are not going to take up on affordable and more expensive energy solutions, so really, really thoughtful process forward really deliberate in making sure that it's based upon u.s. resources to where we can continue leading the world in energy innovation in solving this problem we're facing. host: the president is headed at the end of the week to the u.s. climate change summit and you're going as well with a group of republicans. what will be your role? guest: it's important for

but is significant not only to the state's cattle industry but the state's ecology. whether on private land or public land ranchers have had to make hard decisions in order to reduce numbers, to prevent overgrazing and encourage regrowth of needed grasses. because the brand expection program, had a chance to see these decisions play out in real time. many reduced their heard sizes because the forage simply isn't there. we've seen a 24% increase in sales this year with north dakota ranchers selling 148,000 cows as of july, the average for an entire year is 200,000. it is a painstaking decision for families because it is not only the foundation of the heard the generations of selection and improvement that cannot be replicated overnight. there are other threats too, fire is the most widespread and distractive. fires have burned 6 million acres and 125,000 across north dakota. nearly double that of last year. fire and drought impact livestock and our ability to steward the land. ranchers prioritize retention for our livestock but also critical in feeding wildlife, provi

and reporting at least seven additional states. in addition, experts project the economic impact over $90 billion making it the seventh costliest hurricane to hit the united states since the year 2000. seven hurricanes each responsible for $90 billion in economic impact all within 20 years. like all major storms, it will teach a lot including what works and what does not work and while we can all be thankful for the engineering protected as one of the most vital systems from the destruction we must also recognize that until we address the root causes the u.s. will continue to face natural disasters and increasing severity and intensity leaving more devastating impacts and that's why we need to dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions while we reduce investments andnd resiliency and create a lot of jobs while doing so. the prevention is worth a pound of cure and here is where it's still ringing the truth today. the corps of engineers provides tremendous value to the nation as a primary product with the resources infrastructu

the lower basin states. in contrast the upper basin we've taken shortages nearly every year for 20 years. without that large reservoir we are reliant on current runoff. it's for this reason the upper basin uses are variable. when the snow is abundant, water is available but when the snow is thin, the water isn't there and the users go without. a perfect example of the impact of climate change. having increased absorption of snowmelt and reduced spring runoff this year has been especially difficult. 90% of the state is experiencing drought. an example of the difficult situations that colorado is dealing with a major storage project in southwestern colorado received only one tenth of its water allocation this year and due to the compounding years of shortages, people across the state are considering heartbreaking decisions. there's sociological and economic impacts to the community. the water shortages facing southwest colorado the last two years felt heavily on the tribes whose economy and communities depend

the majority of the state's population lives in the southern half of the state and the coast. coastal louisiana sits at the epicenter of climate change. sea level rise and subsidence coexist as threats for both the corps and the state. consequentially my major missions are navigation, coastal storm risk management, and flood risk management. flooding of any kind, whether from rainfall, storm surge, or river rain flooding or in what has been occurring on more frequent bass, the occurrence of all three at the same time is a major concern for the state and for my district. the men and women of my district are residents of south louisiana. during a storm, they endure the same impacts as their neighbors. for them working with our partners to ensure a promising future in coastal louisiana is not just a professional responsibility. it is a personal commitment. during ida, almost a third of my 1,100 person work force evacuated out of state, to include my wife and children. almost all of us lost power, and almost half saw some form of damage to their homes with 37 of us experiencing so

jersey state emergency centers. subject matter experts and water removal and on watering information for the pennsylvania dot. fema regions 2, 3 and the states they supported, pennsylvania, new jersey and new york were satisfied with our proactive approach to this event. in the aftermath of superstorm sandy, congress asked us to prepare a performance report. that and other work following sandy has heightened our intent to build resilience into our coastal storm risk management and flood risk management projects. together with our federal and nonfederal partners, we are currently completing post norm evaluations to determine impact and develop efficiency reports for projects. initial assessment showed damages incurred to project elements which will require an investment in repairs. in addition to maintenance on these projects, in some cases, corps recommends a comp or hence of assessment of their status to include review of performance criteria and recommendation for updating based on current science, recent storm ev

so, it is more republican states than democratic states. more states had republican control then democratic control. host: is it unusual that there are so few controls in the 50 states? guest: it is. this is the lowest number that have existed in the u.s. -- and has been over a hundred years since we have seen such a split. host: would that be a sign of how polarized the country is? guest: i think that is a fair characterization. people are moving around. people are moving from place to place. people might be sorting themselves. this is something -- the big sort is one of them. it postulates this theory that americans are moving into places with people who agree with them politically. i doubt that is the only factor. people also change their view as well. host: 1.2 more calls. this is julia. good morning. caller: good morning. this call is in reference to the new york times newspaper, october 12, 2021, in reference to people who were incarcerated and had done their time, and they were given a bill to vote. host: julia, we will take up the i

he was beloved at the state department. he had just the respect and loyalty of everyone who worked there and it had nothing to do with policy or politics. it had everything to do with who he was as a man and as a leader. and that was -- i think just remarkable to witness firsthand and something which really stuck with us. he had all sorts of principles and rules which he lived by and which he expected all of us to live by, but what was really instructive, i think for those of us in policy positions working for him was he held himself to account far more stringently than anyone else. i think that was an object lesson for anyone who passed through his orbit. >> colonel jacobs, you share the vietnam experience with secretary powell. you both served. what are your feelings this morning about this loss, and what will you remember most about his leadership? >> well, great sadness. he was a towering figure. you know, he went to college, city college in new york, and studied geology. he was introduced to me when i was a battalion e

washington state has already said every public sector worker in washington state has to be vaccinated. that is why they fired the football coach at washington state university. other states like texas and florida are under federal osha's jurisdiction and the state government agencies and local government agencies are osha-fre e zones. it is unfortunate but those workers have no right to a safe workplace. host: the head state -- the head could touch -- the head football coach at washington state was fired after refusing vaccines under state mandate. several other assistant coaches as well. wilmington, north carolina, we will hear from alexis. caller: good morning. i have a question. i did not pay attention to your name but you are the osha man. host: david michaels. guest: call me the osha man. caller: i would like to know -- i think you were sort of explaining it, but there is this big hubbub in chicago. mayor lightfoot has said anybody that is not showing up for duty with covid vaccine credentials can't work, and i think the fraternal order of police have weighed in. how does osha fi

the more important part of this is how lines are drawn from state to state. republicans get to draw the maps in 20 states totaling 187 districts. that is because state legislatures for the most part their responsibility for this compared to 75 district in eight states the democrats control. republicans get to draw more than twice as many districts as a democrat there also ten states independent bipartisan commission that total 121 districts. there are six states with control that is split between a legislature of one party and the governor of the other. that adds up to 46 districts. then there are six states that only have a one district in this upcoming decade and do not need to divide their states into multiple seats. while six states are gaining members of congress texas, florida, north carolina, oregon montana colorado. seven states are losing a member of congress new york, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, illinois and west virginia. when people move out of a state like illinois or west virginia, two states that loss of population or two states each losing a

you've been state assembly, mayor, senator, governor. how about president of the united states? not too late. gayle, you'd be in, wouldn't you? i would be in. get some folks there to be in. why not. we need good solid leadership like pete wilson offered the state of california for many years. we need that for our country. so pete, give it a thought. give it a go. have a great evening. >> honoring pete wilson with the champion of the american dream award. pete was a strong governor of california and a fine united states senator. pete is an exemplary citizen of the united states, fine public servant and a friend. laura and i send our very best wishes to everyone involved with the nixon foundation, and god bless. >> good evening. i'm janice rogers brown, another of the governor's legal affairs secretaries. [applause] it is interesting to think that the golden state really did have a golden age, but maybe it was a golden hour, but have any of you noticed that the state began its decline into the [inaudible] just when pete wilson stopped being actively involved in its politics? i'm j

the more important part of this is going to be how lines are drawn from state to state. republicans get to draw the maps in 20 states, totaling 187 districts. that is because state legislatures, for the most part are the ones that bear responsibility, compared to 75 districts in eight states that democrats control. republicans get to drop more than twice as may districts as democrats. there are also 10 states that use independent or bipartisan commissions that total 121 districts. there are six states with control split between the legislature of one and governor of the other. that adds up to 46 districts. there are six states that only have one district in the upcoming decade and do not need to divide their state into multiple seats. >> six states are gaining members of congress, texas, florida, north carolina, oregon, montana and colorado. seven states are losing a member, new york, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, illinois and west virginia. when people move out of estate, like illinois or west virginia, two states have lost population, each of los a c, did they take pol

europe in their cold war state. a s s a strong ally, that helps them in their competition, which china and as a competition, not primarily on, on economics, but it is primarily on power and on politics. warnings about how important trade was globally and the dire consequences of not working together. also came in the form of a reference to shakespeare off to rule. verona is where romeo and juliet was based digital, where now in the seat of your honor, which is the setting for the renowned tale of feud between the mon. to go and calculate klan well know how that ended here is a serious lesson we should take from that story. when then, bishop of some people begin to prevail over common sense tragedy may occur. we need to ask ourselves, are the ambitions that we are fighting over to day worth? what happens after forums like this help us to rethink the things we can lose? if we're on the quarrel, we should have dialogue and bill mutually beneficial relationships. the use energy crisis was all so pulled apart with paneli

s. secretary of state on to leave linkin paying tribute to the late secretary of state, colin powell whose died at the age of 84 from over 19 related complications as a secretary bank and was saying there a sad day at the state department. he praised a man of ideals, but not ideological who said was constantly listening and he has also said that power he is as a soldier is what made him as an unexceptional diplomat. let's bring in. kimberly hall kit. briefly. white house correspondent kimberly tributes. have been coming in today from both sides of the i yeah, there's no question and as you heard the secretary of state speaking there about colin powell, who once was a secretary of state himself, 2 things really come to mind and we're hearing this repeatedly as the tributes to colin powell continue to pour in one that he conducted himself with humility and the other that he was a mentor for so many that his actions and his willingness at times to admit mistakes, even ones that put a major blemish on his career as in be very public mistake, that he later acknowledged the argument for th

there was a bit of backlash but the state finally conceded. now, in benton harbor, we have amazing folks that are also sharing, there is something wrong with our water. interestingly, benton harbor was also one of the cities in michigan that lost democracy, another city that was under emergency management. if you remember in michigan, at one point, half of our african-american population was under emergency management where there was unelected, unaccounble officials running these cities. let this be another lesson of the consequences of taking away people's democracy, taking away their voices. it impacts health. in benton harbor, it is hard to tell when the crisis happened, but for six consecutive sampling periods, three and a half years, the lead in their water has exceeded the epa action level. that is not even a health based standard, just a compliance standard. that is an underestimation of the amount of lead that has been in the water and the potential harm it could be doing. amy: reverend edward pinkney, if you could talk about the two t

we don't learned lessons to well in the united states. we should because otherwise, we will spend another trillion dollars and have a horrible result. on the class of patient, all i can tell you is i have been here maybe as long as you have since 1982 and i've been dealing with classified information since 1978 and i have learned one thing and i will take it to my grave and that is governments don't classify good news. that's the one thing i've learned. i don't think it has changed since vietnam were probably since world war ii. if a government classifies good news, they will then leak it. i don't know how you break that chain. i think it was senator mccain who talked about classification is basically used to protect incompetency and other nefarious actions. he would know better than any of us. i think there is some truth to that. that's the best way to hide your screw ups is put of classification on it. >> that's quite a slate of reports that's been requested by congress and they look over to reading them stuff i'm wondering if there any

one of its main principles now member states, some member states had felt that there was a need to send a strong message to me on my, for failing to implement and are in let peace plan. and in particular, there was unhappiness that an appointed envoy was told he would not be able to meet deposed civilians on sunset. g. now, man must truck defiant note on the eve of the summit, its military government said in a statement that its participation in the summit would be by the head of state or a minister. and it also accused ozzy and of not abiding by its charter. now, myanmar stand is that the violence in the country is being provoked by who they call terrorists, aided by a shadow government as opposed to the coo and it says, often hasn't taken this into account. now, as it has not recognized me on last military leadership, but non law is still a member, and i think me on more will be a key sticking point at the summit. the tie, prime minister said the myanmar issue is a test of audience ability to solve problems within its region. now can member states to reach a consensus on how to deal w

territory and even a state, the united states of america includes hawaii. we have real reason for concern ourselves, let alone the treaty commitments we have with the philippines and others. what do i mean by a pacing threat? it's that they are developing capabilities in certain areas that are beginning to compete very effectively with what the u.s. could bring to bear to defend those interests. and so we now look increasingly at where china is going in certain capability areas as the bar, the mark on the wall, that we need to ensure we can credibly deter against. that doesn't mean necessarily that we're doing an arms race in any particular area. it just means that that mark on a wall is something we have to be able to credibly overcome with our own capabilities and by the way, the u.s. has a huge advantage in that those capabilities are not just ours, back to aukus, they're about what the united states can bring as a global power and with a lot of other countries who are increasingly concerned about what china is trying to do. our goal is not to have any c

already in the united states and in the united states congress -- also how to compete with china to define so this could also be a way to achieve greater understanding and understand their perspective and again the challenges that we face for example i don't believe we clearly defined when it is that we should complete, when they are cheating and when we need to call them out on it and finally when we ought to cooperate on certain issues like climate change and security in the world. >> this is no small feat to getting the bipartisan legislation that is happening. both of you have spent time talking about china and the challenges it represents but you've talked about it in very different ways and characterized the challenge in different ways. you said china is a communist regime that threatens the city that was a remark from just yesterday i believe following the hypersonic missile reports that came out. why do you think, you've made a compelling case for why this translation center should exist. why do you think that your republican colleagues also like the idea of it? >> are we having a

a state trooper using his final signoff to slam leaders in washington state who are refusing to back down on today's vaccine mandate deadline and even in liberal california americans are rising up with mass walkouts planned for today. carley: the bidens are caught breaking their rules, ditching their masks on a date night in washington, d.c. for continues right now. todd: i know the focus is on the mass hypocrisy, i'm just shocked that people have date nights. i would kill for one of those. carley: you haven't been on a date night in a while? not in a while. todd: you're watching "fox & friends first," i'm todd piro. carley: i'm carley shimkus. todd: an evacuation flight about to fly out of kabul. carley: trey yingst is on the ground at the airport in kabul with the newest details. good morning, trey. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we are back in taliban-controlled afghanistan where evacuation flights continue. there are thousands of american allies still stuck in the country, along with u.s. citizens and american residents. i want to show you behind me, you can see the flags of th

>> i'm not worried -- the united states u.s. military forces and others have done a very good job securing material and communications and information coming out of afghan. we are going to learn more, we don't know everything today about the course of those 20 years so there could be things i don't know today but i am confident how we have left the situation with regard to our material and nonmaterial support. >> early on decision to hand over the air base, could you perspective on the thinking behind that? >> there are two points in time under discussion fekete inflated so if you think about the withdrawal of u.s. military forces, withdrawal from barbara as part of a sensible approach to get to the full withdrawal from of the idea by the end of september this year end barbara had to be part of a withdrawal long-term would have been the opposite of u.s. withdrawing forces. then there's a second issueed raised by those concerned about noncombatant evacuation eroperation done in august and whether united states should have come ba

the size of the state department. the state department and diplomacy are essentially the relationship building part of how we deal with other nations. military represents hopefully a deterrent, but if necessary a coercive force. you want that to be your last option. unfortunately, we have it always prioritized, or built up, the infrastructure for diplomacy that were allowed -- that would allow us to reduce tensions and build alliances around the world to make sure we are in the strongest position in terms of allies and support. it is interesting you mentioned the number of diplomats china has committed they are -- there is right now an imbalance between the u.s. military positions around the world. china only has one military base outside of mainline -- mainland china, that's in djibouti. they are trying to get to other continents around the world, but the u.s. is far ahead of china in that respect. still, they have done a lot of work under their belt and wrote initiative to expand their alliances around the world. wh

on conservatorships and the data they do collect varies from state to state. this afternoon we will hear from witnesses who will tell about their experience living with and fighting against conservatorships and they will also tell us about how there were other options, better alternatives to these legal straitjackets and they may be available to people who can do without a conservatorship. one alternative that is gaining increased prominence is supportive decision-making. i look forward to hearing from the witnesses about that alternative and others particularly when they've had some success. finally, let me just say ms. spears next public hearing in her own battle is literally tomorrow. while she continues to fight to make her own decision and live her own life, we can and must fight for reform in these legal straitjackets, arrangements that are potentially abusive and certainly a disservice to many people that are under them and that is why i am so pleased the ranking member and i could come together to hold this hearing and i hope we have a productive conve

when the united states was attempting to curtail china's foreign direct investment in the united states, the flooding into the u.s. of japanese produced automobiles and semiconductors, while japan at the same time was dramatically limiting foreign market access to goods and services, with much of the rhetoric we see today related to china, one could simply substitute the word japan and substitute china and you'd find the sunday morning talk show topics of 1989 in 1990. but of course, there's one extraordinary distinction, democratic japan was, is, and continues to be our ally and partner. china, while collaborator in many things, description as partner and ally would not be accurate. could it be in the future? only time and the years ahead will tell. but this speaks to the balance that is outlined in today's discussion of degrees of separation. your framework is of assistance to the legislative branch and that it provides a rubric whereby our committees and our members can evaluate the best possible alternatives to achieving our u.s. objectives. in the context of this thoughtful framewo

s. secretary of state now flags across the united states being thrown at half staff to mourn the death of colet, colin powell. he died on monday at the age of 84 from cove at 19 complications. pol is being remembered as a trailblazer, but his reputation was tarnished over his faulty claims to justify the 2003 invasion of iraq. his our white house correspondent, kimberly alcott the news, the colin powell had died of covered complications came as a shock to many. powell had been battling cancer but was fully vaccinated. a sad reminder that the vaccine doesn't always offer full immunity against the disease. immediately the tributes to the retired 4 star general poured in his family. a dear friend of the patron, one of our great military leaders and a man of overwhelming dishes. and i believe sugary palsy, yours is a soldier or what made him such an exceptional diplomat. he knew that war and military action should always be a last resort in iraq's behavior. show that as secretary of state under president george w bush, powell will be remembered as the person who made the case to the world

though he is a hybrid, it is within the state and outside the state is within the state when it suits him . and he's outside the state when he's really performing a regional goal like additional role like in syria, like in yemen like in iraq. so it is totally different. however, we still have israel, that is really can benefit from the situation. let's say this sniper that everybody is talking about. i don't know, i have no idea so far. so when you have such kind of things, you'd like to call them, they can go inside and really make living on an in this price situation. usually lebanon is in this price to do the way sion that may lead to civil war. and then everybody, every time, everywhere during the summer on all the political use and when employees however, maybe has to assert himself as the main play of as the main the core to play it of the politic 11. and because what, what we've seen from has been we have seen, also organize on before. you know what any thoughts it is not. however, everybody is using drugs be thought as $1.00 to $5.00. yes. am going to think is what is the size

but those who said it on were in the state minority actually. a lot said more than i expected, the palestinian question, others said the society. i have two questions that i want to test and i would be curious your reaction. one question at the time is the israeli security elite at the time was totally focused on iran, and i wouldn't have had that kind of disagreement around the table if i had been talking to the top levels of the israeli government. my other question is that perhaps attitudes in society have kind of moved along in the direction of the elite. do i have that right, or do we have the top members of the israeli around the table telling the truth -- where they all saying air on, or would there be a strong disagreement among them? >> the majority of israel from all sides will show [inaudible] i don't think there's any debate. that's the reason why by the way, we are not the only ones. many more countries strongly believe that this is the element that needs to be addressed.
