they went through state by state by state to do it. they practiced in california and they practiced in other states and they have fine-tuned the system of undermining your vote and your franchise and they have destroyed the integrity of the process and in case they lost despite all these efforts, they were going to blame, before the russians the postal service in their paramilitary wing was all prepared to riot in the streets and so forth and so on. now we are told to move along, move along. the democrat party is not the democrat party of 30, 40 years ago but a very radical anti- constitution, anti-american party in many respects. i'm talking about the leadership and those who serve mostly in congress. why do i tell you this? they have no respect for the constitution and they tell you it was just written by a bunch of slaveholders and they have no intention of operating within the four corners of the law, the state constitution, the federal constitutions and they want to operate outside the process in order to destroy the process. they

he talked about high unemployment, state -- state responses and lessons learned from the crisis. the american enterprise interest -- institute is the host of this hour-long program. my name is nat and i am the head of global poverty studies and we are having this conversation about the unemployment benefits response to the coronavirus crisis and its implications for the future. say that enough to that response has been unprecedented. in just two months the number of recipients rose from a typical 2 million to over 30 million including millions in entirely new temporary federal programs covering large categories of recipients. new temporary federal programs, that is two times during the great recession which took years to reach. state agencies rush to meet that enormous demand we note some recipient had to wait weeks or months for benefits to be paid. international scammers succeeded billions of taxpayer dollars in these programs. they were discouraging returns to work. 500 billion in unemployment benefits this year. triple the previous high. state and federal payroll taxes on job

nine days in that state. president trump won that state. we don't hear any complaints or efforts to try to overturn the results of that election. they made those changes because of the coronavirus pandemic. this is not about logic anymore. this is about the president wanting to say he has won. he is obviously not going to be able to do that, but i think that the idea that any element of this has a basis in fact has been long since thrown out the window. you know, 50 or 60 court cases ago, it's been thrown out. >> one of the things going on today, as we're watching this history, is the coronavirus pandemic and the first vaccines being administered to americans outside of the clinical trials. this is new york city, this is nyu langone health care center, and we're watches people get the covid vaccine from p pfizer/biontech. there's the like at the end of the tunnel, and something to watch. dana? >> we are talking earlier about the poetry, perhaps, symbolism of the fact that we're watches this remarkable moment of health care workers, the firs

the state has 55 electoral votes and more than any other state. california's votes will certainly seal the presidentry for president-elect joe biden. i want to listen in a little bit. let's see what is going on in the california state assembly. >> chair person of california's electoral college for the selection of president and vice president of the united states. the nominations are now open. mark gonzalez of congressional district 34 is recognized for the purpose of nomination. mr. gonzalez? >> during the nominations process, they are there and we will wait for the actual vote. this will bring biden over the top and we will have much more than 270 needed to be elected president of the united states. david ch chalian. it may be nice that he won the election by more than 7 million votes but the electoral college elects the president of the united states. >> that's right. joe biden has known he was well over 270 electoral votes for weeks now. donald trump has known that too. despite the fact that he continued to try and come up with baseless claims

it varies from state to state. if you have an outstanding lot and you tried to go to a polling place, they are going to know that you have that talent. -- ballot. states will either require you to bring a provisional ballot to the polling place and then see if there are two pallets out there and we count one or perhaps they have more of an online system where they are able to check if you have already voted or not. i think it is very hard to imagine someone being able to an in person ballot and a male ballot given with the -- given the check in the state we see. that might lead to some longer there to cast ag if different kind of ballot. host: our guest is the director at the bipartisan policy center. separating the lines by those who vote early in person, (202) 748-8000. those voting on election day, (202) 748-8001. and if you voted by mail, (202) 748-8002. the fortier, you head up government policy center what do you hope to happen with the studies and the results that you find out not just over election day but

half of states will have -- like a dedicated cyber security budgets as state cios are tasked with providing cyber security assistance to local government. they are asked to do so with shortages in funding and cyber talent. almost all the cios have the authority and directly responsible for cyber security in their state and have taken multiple initiatives to enhance the status of their cyber security programs. these initiatives include creation of cyber disruption response plan. obtaining cyber insurance and the implementation of security awareness training programs for employees and contractors. these initiatives are crucial as congress considers the implementation of a cyber security program for state and local governments. for the past decade nscio has advocated for a whole approach. -- a whole state approach to cybersecurity. we define it as collaboration among state and federal agencies, local governments, the national guard, education, k through 12 and higher, critical infrastructure providers and private sector entities. by approaching cyber security as a team sport, information is wi

the state was violating a traditional separation of church and state, a separation guaranteed by another provision of the first amendment. now we have a number of other decisions that should be of help to us. cantwell against connecticut. >> cantwell versus connecticut, a case far removed from the crowds of broadway. but like "the miracle," it involved a religious issue and a licensing requirement, also tense feelings. in 1938, russell cantwell, an ordained minister for the group known as jehovah's witnesses, went door to door in various towns, including newhaven. >> what can i do for you? >> i'm mr. cantwell, i represent the watch agency, and i'd like to play a recorded bible verse for you. it's about four minutes. >> oh, i don't know. >> it's of interest to all religious people and ilt's free. i'm sure you will enjoy it. >> mr. cantwell presented excerpts from a book. the book "enemies" was an attack on various religious doctrines and on organized religion in general. >> the publishers now exhibit to the people the book entitled "enemies." the purpose is to enable all persons who have

but in particular, secretaries of state in key states. the governors that ben mentioned, and now, we've seen judges from across the board step up. the president and his allies have filed a huge number of court cases, they are one in 48 and judges have looked at the evidence, such as it is, and made judgments. that's the good news. the bad news here, especially, is more on the informal front and it starts with the presidents and what he has been saying about this, but it extends further down. you've probably seen it last night, jocelyn benson the secretary of state in michigan, a state which was not close by any standards, which joe biden won by over 150,000 votes, that she was with her four-year-old doing christmas decorations when a group of heavily armed thugs gathered outside the house in the dark, chanting and shouting obscenities with bull horns and that's all a part of what is a broader misinformation and disinformation that's being spread by a lot of people including by people who know better. newt gingrich the former speaker of th

he served in the united states congress, and he also served in the united states senate. and he and his wife were the hosts during james buchanan's administration in washington, dc. when the south left and formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become its first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we are standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held, at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1865, jefferson davis received word from general robert e. lee, commander of the army of northern virginia, that they could no longer hold the federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news, jefferson davis adjourned his cabinet and sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow. he would finally catch up with his family right above the florida state line. it is here where a federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat and moved back up her

obviously some states more, some states less, a couple states trump did better. and you ended up with perfectly reasonable results, if i can put it that way. if you ended up with georgia, biden winning by eight points, you know, and losing florida by three, you'd say, that seems pretty unlikely. maybe something needs to be looked at. there's something unlikely about the results. there's no evidence of anything going wrong. two of these states in arizona and georgia are republican -- states with republican governors and republican -- pretty much republican down the line, actually. and they carefully recounted everything and ended up where they are. wisconsin and michigan, as i say, have majority republican and quite conservative state supreme courts that upheld the decisions of the electoral commissions in those states. so, there's just no evidence of this fraud. i mean, what's amazing, therefore, about trump -- with gore/bush you can you can argue about the ballots and the butterfly ballots and which counties' recounts, what they're going to do in each county and

time and again, president trump's lawyers present arguments to state officials, state legislatures, and ultimately to the united states supreme court, twice. they are heard by more than 80 judges across this country and in every case, no cause or evidence was found to reverse or question or dispute the results. a few states went for recounts. all accounts were confirmed. results in georgia were counted three times. didn't change the outcome. wisconsinnducted in actually saw our margin grow. the margin we had in michigan was 14 times the margin president won that state by four years ago. our margin in pennsylvania was nearly twice the size of the trump margin. and yet none of this has stopped baseless claims about the legitimacy of the results. stunning, 17 republican attorneys general and 126 republican members of the congress actually signed on to the lawsuit filed by the state of texas. that lawsuit asked the united states supreme court to reject the certified vote counts in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. this legal maneuver was an toort by elected officials try to ge

under my lead, the republicans won almost every state house in the united states, which they weren't expected to do. we won up to 16 seats in the house. the numbers are still being tabulated, because there are nine seats that nobody really knows. they don't know. two weeks later, it's still under consideration, because it's a mess. republicans were supposed to lose many seats, and instead they won those seats in the house, and a very important election that's coming up will determine whether, or not we hold the senate. david perdue and kelly leffler loeffler are two tremendous people. unfortunately, in georgia, they're using the same horrible dominion system, and it's already been out that, think of it, hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots have been requested. you took it out, who is requesting those ballots. the difference is, it's one state, and we will have our eyes on it like nobody's ever watched anything before, because we have to win those two senate seats. the tremendous success we had in the house of representatives, and the tremendous success we've had so far in the se

a state like new york state like california. and gain additional congressional representation at the expense of states like minnesota alabama, and ohio. and so basically youta are creating congressional districts that represent people who came into the country illegally and do not enjoy the rights and complete rights and privileges of american citizens. yet they have representations in the house off representation and representaves . >> so you agree that the district should be are equally as anyho other persons vote in y other district. >> that is correct. >> go ahead. instance,s take for we all recognize this is disputed by any of the members that the secretary of commerce has h excluded people who are he in the united states on venus. yet if f that person but then stays in the country as the point of their visa and for some reason counted. and again it serves consequences. >> when to agree that according to the number of persons in a state can reasonably be excluding illegal aliens who were residing in the state. >> absolutely

is hurting our state. georgia is the number one state in the nation to do business for nearly a decade. continuing to make debunked claims of a stolen election is hurting our state. i started my business and built it from the grondgrond -- ground up. i've employed hundreds and hundreds of georgians, men and women in those years. i know what it takes to build teams that work to strengthen buildings, restore and strengthen old landmarks. and i have also built a team that knows how to win an election. i also have built a team that knows how to run and oversee elections. and i understand we need to focus on the future of growing businesses here in georgia. getting through the covid pandemic and bringing more good-paying georgians to our state. the vast majority of georgians, republicans and democrats, want us, all of us, as elected officials to focus on protecting and growing georgia jobs. getting the vaccine out as efficiently as possible and getting back to normal. the focus on november 3 is drawing is energ

states have different circumstances and are in different epidemiological situations, and state leaders are in the best position to take our general national recommendations and translate them into more precise guidance for their state and its conditions. as we approach the vaccine rollout, we're also continuing to expand access to treatments for covid-19. as of this week, we've distributed more than 157,000 patient courses of two authorized antibody products across the united states and allocated a total of 205,000 courses for delivery to states. more than 3,000 sites are currently signed up to offer these treatments. we've also launched a pilot program that will explore how to reach vulnerable populations with these treatments and offer the treatments in even more convenient locations. as we mentioned, americans need to know that this treatment is a possible option for patients who are at high risk for severe covid-19 but who have not been hospitalized. that includes all americans over the age of 65. that's the definition we're using, in this case, for risk of severe covid-19. receivi

but what we're seeing is that there is such a crisis because states even states that have leadership of up a partisan likeness. there were things states where there you have a republican governor and a republican, you know, several republican mayors there still are going back and forth. this isn't a partisan issue as much as it is. there are people who aren't equipped for what they're having to deal with. a lot of it comes down to money according to a report from truth in accounting, at least $39.00 states lack the money to pay bills, but work over $90.00. the total debt among the 50 states accounts for over 1.4 trillion dollars. these states are already underwater and pretty broke before coburn $1000.00 hit. and now they're expected to develop response plans. so, you know, obviously during the, during the start of kobe $1000.00, we heard from president trump over and over about how he wasn't going to help or bail out these democratic states. we're already in trouble, well, factually. the majority of american states were in trouble. whether they were blue or red and i think that that

remember, until the united states came into the war, the united states was a neutral advocating freedom of the seas. we will get into freedom of the seas again. that position was violated by germany declaring unrestricted submarine warfare. the united states though, that policy was not aimed directly at germany, but also at great britain. in the united states there were large communities and bodies of political opinion and policy, including the president, who when they said strict neutrality, they also meant the british should not infringe on american neutral rights. this was a sticking point. the germans violated neutral rights, because the german violation was so much more violent and egregious, it made the germans the bigger enemy. that does not mean the united states did not have white a few -- did not still have quite a few complaints against great britain for the way she implemented her blockade and restricted american trade on the seas. in order to answer that, president wilson in 1916 proposed a naval act. the 1916 naval act. this act was not aimed at just germany, but also aime

time and again lawyers presented arguments to state officials, state legislators, state and federal courts. and to the united states supreme court. twice. heard by more than 80 judges across the country. and every case, no cause or evidence was found to reverse or question or dispute the results. a few states went for recounts. all the counts were confirmed. results in georgia were counted three times. didn't change the out come. recount conducted in wisconsin actually saw our margin grow. a margin we had in michigan was 14 times the margin president trump won that state by four years ago. our margin in pennsylvania was twice the size of the trump margin four years ago. and yet, none of this stopped baseless claims about the results. even more stunning, 17 republican attorneys general and 126 republican members of the congress, actually they actually signed onto a lawsuit filed by the state of texas. that lawsuit asking the united states supreme court to reject the certified vote counts in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. this legal maneuver was an effort by elected officials

states. so there are seven states whose electors are now subject, in my view, to objections and rejections that could give president trump a second term. and believe me, listeners and viewers, republicans and democrats for the most part don't want to deal with the consequences of this election fiasco. you've got to pressure them to do the right thing. gregg: there's one final lawsuit -- well, it's never final, who knows how many others might be filed between now and next tuesday or wednesday, but this deals with wisconsin where the trump campaign lost before the wisconsin supreme court in the effort to toss out, i think it was 220,000 absentee ballots because, and i wrote this down, there was no proper identification, many people weren't eligible for the absentee ballots they cast and clerks filled in missing witness information, all of which was in clear violation of the law. so there we have, you know, either election fraud or unlawful counting of improper or invalid ballots, don't we? >> y

in those states. they care about winning. decided that each state had its own system with some with mailing votes in different powers in which you can vote and you can cite different ways of verifying in terms of voter id are not, the signature verification but no one has shown any evidence of people, beyond tiny instances and literally fingers on one hand kind of instances of people voting who shouldn't have voted, people have not been able to show massive illegal voting. between no disparity the voting rolls and the citizenship roles. i think it's unfortunate that people about this and they tend to think of the other side the doing all the dirty stuff and people were not like them who are cheating and that's unfortunate. then you get to a position where you were sort of there somehow and they are not treated as fellow americans. the caller said we are all americans but when you say there were only certain parts of the country that have this problem, without evidence in this case at all. with republi

my state we have a democratic governor but everything else is republican and trump carried the state easily. we are desperately in need of help. i talked to my mayor just this morning, the mayor in louisville. he is also president of the national council of mayors, and he says cities are hurting all over. they are trouble doing the basic stuff. , anding policing, security health care and now we are asking them to distribute the vaccine. we need the help, and it cannot be tied to liability reform, which is what senator girardi leader mcconnell is pushing to do. we need to do what needs to be done right now. let's do what we agree on now and do what we do not agree on sometime later. state and localities cannot wait until later. you mentioned the mayor of louisville. we will be talking to him on this program. at the same time, as you talk about kentucky, i am mindful of the fact one of the residents of kentucky was mitch mcconnell. i fear he may even be a constituent of yours. explain that. we are not a blue state in kentucky and we are definitely hurting. revenues are down. we have la

that is 75% of all of the states beds. -- 75% of all of the state's beds. here is a slide that should be sobering to everybody, and i will keep it up for a moment so people can digest it and take a look at it. it's one thing to talk about where we might be in the san joaquin valley by christmas eve, 83% capacity in our hospitals being utilized, but take a look at the icus. if you start breaking things down, look how quickly we go from 75% statewide, 85% in northern california, to 134% in early december. that's in a week or two. in mid-december, in california, icu beds will be at 112% capacity. so, you get a sense of where we may be, including in early january. the bay area is more robust and capacity,s of projections, but by january, they will be getting close. those are the red flags. not yellow, red flags are flying in terms of trajectory and our projection of growth. and that is why we are making this point very loudly today. dr. ghaly will speak to it in the q&a, as well. but if these trends continue, we are going to have to take much more dramatic, arg

the state. states will ensure the vaccine is administered or distributed as necessary. each of the witnesses will provide insight into the planning that has already gone into transporting and distributing a vaccine. the anticipated challenges and what congress and the public should expect from this process. one of the more notable challenges will be maintaining meaning thatn -- the vaccine does not experience a warmer temperature during transportation and storage that it can handle. the pfizer vaccine must be cap or -94degrees celsius degrees fahrenheit. the moderna vaccine must be maintained at -20 degrees celsius or negative four degrees fahrenheit. about the hear transportation network's capacity to ship a vaccine. more people were already using e-commerce and even more will want to ship gifts for the holidays so how will the vaccine transportation fit into this demand for shipping? we also want to know if the witnesses have the necessary guidance and resources to transport the vaccine, parti

it state-by-state here one more to share with you, sean. in michigan, right here they found that they could not be matched with a voter who was registered in the state. there was no registration number with the ballot. this is significant, which is why you have 18 states signing onto this by the state of texas. >> sean: you gave out a statistic yesterday on the quadrillions statistic in terms of the stats you gave out. i listened to that and i was blown away. i watched the mob and the media, they actually attach your real affidavits and the real people showed up and they said oh, she was telling the truth. oh, they forgot that part. but explain how you got the number. >> yeah, i'm glad you asked that because you have fake new cnn showing that the numbers were blank when all you have to do was go look at a public court filing to read them yourself. but of course, they couldn't do that. that's the job of a reporter. they are having to do -- go the stat i gave last night which is eye-opening and truthful. in these four states, michigan pennsyl
