Put one on the calendar for trump to stand trial in georgia, and its this second request, but by all means be a boolean move from fani willis considering what weve been talking about for the last two months, weve been talking about allegations of an improper romantic relationship that willis had with her special prosecutor. What sources close to her even acknowledged was a major distraction in this case. But now that willis has at least been told she could remain on the case by judge mcafee. She thinks its time now to push him to put a trial date on the calendar and we could see that come in the coming weeks. Now, look, that doesnt discount the challenges that you still going to face mcafee obviously, was really critical of williss credibility, really criticizing her for her actions that almost got her disqualified from case. And also the threat of his qualification still looms it was over willis and Appeals Court is going to decide whether or not it wants to review mcafee is order that allowed her to stay on the case. Theyve about 45 days and say whether or not theyre going to do that. So all of this swirling, but willis trying to set those case back on track, trying to work towards a trial at a time when shes just emerging from probably the most chaotic two months of her for entire time on this case yeah. Full of emotional testimony, fiery testimony from the District Attorney on the stand. Is that cohen thanks so much for the update. Lets bring in yeah, boris, i dont think its realistic to try this and this given that the judge has made clear that he wants to keep moving towards trial, deciding motions, and so on, that shes seek a trial date and get it on the calendar. But to me 14 defendants are rico case youll have really lengthy three selection processes. It just doesnt seem to me. Were almost in april that its likely that this can be tried in the summer, especially because as has been noted, the last two months, really nothing has happened while weve been absorbed with the disqualification motion. Nothing has happened on that front, but a lot is happened if were looking at whats happening outside the court in terms of public opinion, you talk about how long it would take with all of those defendants for a jury pool. We also have the added issue of what people may or may not have been following during that very emotional explosive, revealing testimony yeah, we do. I mean, the judge in ruby commented that were still a ways away from picking a jury. So time will pass and it will dissipate the impact of any statements like that. But you know, people for peoples memories are funny, right . If theyre following it, they likely will remember what happened in the last couple of weeks. So really what youre looking for is not so much time to go by so that people forget. You need to pick people who just really havent followed this at all. I think thats definitely possible. I think wed all be surprised as close please. We follow the news. How many people in a jury box dont do it themselves but when you talk about a case that involves names like donald j. Trump and some of the other boldfaced names here its likely that a lot of people will have some idea of whats happened here. And the defense is going to keep beating those drums about the improper relationship that just qualification and so on so i do think that Jury Selection is going to be an issue here and the further away it gets the better it is for being able to find a jury that doesnt have any biases in place one more thing that is still out there that needs to be determined. The Supreme Court its going to weigh this question of president ial immunity, right . How could that decision and the amount of time that it takes to get to that decision and publish it potentially impact this Timetable Set by fani willis so it only impacts donald trump himself, of course, because hes the only one who has a president ial immunity arguments. So all of these other 13 defendants still in the case. It doesnt impact them at all. But were expecting to hear from the Supreme Court by june, which is where when theyre year ends. If somehow how they actually picked a jury and empaneled the jury before we hear from the Supreme Court that thats it for chunk, right . He of course, would be out of the case if he wins. But theres a possibility that even if he doesnt win, that they draw the line somewhere. A jury gets in paneled ultimately, he has to be dismissed out of that and Double Jeopardy has attached so its very complicated. But again, it does only impact donald trump. I mean, remember we have 13 other defendants here who fani willis is looking to try and the president ial immunity issue doesnt have anything to do with them. All right. Jennifer rodgers, always good to have your Expertise Stay with us though, because were also following some other developments this time out of new york york, where the Attorney Generals Office is now making moves suggesting that the state at this point may start to try to see some of the former president s assets if he fails to pay that nearly half 1 billion bond in his civil fraud case, something that as we know right now, he cannot do his lawyers who have argued hell be unable to satisfy that and theres that deadline looming only about four days away. Cnns Kara Scannell is on this kera. What are you learning that Letitia James is weighing here what moves is she making toward this . So earlier this month, just about a week after the judge finalize the 400 million judgment that trump personally faces new york Attorney Generals Office filed this judgment in westchester county. What that means is that it sets the stage or makes it possible for her to potentially move forward to try to seize assets in westchester . Thats where he has a golf course also the family compound known as Seven Springs in a state across thing over three different jurisdictions, but it doesnt necessarily mean that shes going to move to seize those specific assets if it comes to that the judgment is also in new york where trump has a lot of properties. Trump tower his pentose its apartment there, the hotel at the corner of central park, as well as the office building, 40 wall street. So its essentially making it possible to set the groundwork that if she does want to move forward to put liens on these properties, are moved to initiate foreclosure proceedings. That is in place. They are on notice now, i also check some of the county clerks offices in some of the other places where trump has properties in florida, in chicago. I didnt see any judgments there as of now. So right now it looks like the set, the stage is getting set to move in new york. But of course there is still time, although that clock is ticking as trump is waiting to see if the Appeals Court is going to allow them to post a smaller amount or allow him to not post any money until they appeals over the new york Attorney Generals Office has opposed that in trumps still does not have the money to satisfy that half 1,000,000,000 judgment. Boris, erica in terms of that right. Are there any other options at this point . We know weve been talking about, of course, the 30 comedies that refuse to loan the underwrite that money. And the deadline is bohrs point out is looming as youre talking about, are there any other options left . So trump could potentially take out a mortgage on some of his properties. Thats pretty complicated. A lot of the large Financial Institutions stopped doing business with trump years ago. Also, some properties. There are questions about what their value is. That was the issue in this whole case that the judge found that trump inflated the value. So company is generally would want they do their own homework before deciding whether to issue a mortgage on a property and also mortgage Interest Rates are high right now that makes the cost of doing that pretty expensive. And weve seen trump publicly state that this is an expensive process for him that is one option. There could be a donor that comes in last minute and offers to give trump cash for this remains to be seen if anyone credible is going to do that, and then he could potentially have a fire cell of one of his properties on his own mean the clock there again, its ticking, it seems that is unlikely. Surely trumps are working behind the scenes as theyre facing this deadline. But if not, well see what happens on monday era floras now thank you so much. Lets bring Jennifer Rodgers backend. So jennifer, lets say march 25th comes this bond isnt paid. How quickly will we find out if donald trump is going to have properties seized . Well, itll be still a bit of time, boris, theres a whole Legal Process around seizing assets. First step, apparently, to shames and her team has already started, which is to file the judgments and the relevant jurisdictions, but thats only the first step. And its even more complicated when it comes to Real Property because its not like monday, youre just going to see a team of sheriffs go up and put a padlock on a building or anything like that. Theres paperwork, steps trump may have the ability to challenge some of those steps before things are actually seized. And of course, seizure and then sale and then taking the asset. So it will be while before anything really happens. But i think that will we we will heard something from the court between now and then because theres a lot of scrambling going on, so i expect well hear something from the court one way or the other, whether they send it back to judge engoron for some factfinding about whats been done and possible solutions or whether the cord itself will speak. Well find out we also use carroll pointed out she she went and looked such a miami schlechter, palm beach county, cook county in illinois, know judgments enter there. But when people think of the property that donald trump owns the most wellknown would be of course, marlago and trump tower in new york do you see either one of those realistically being seized i mean, its really hard to say. It just depends on how many acids there are that are in new york, new york assets are easier for the Attorney General to get to because theyre here, they can file more easily. So i think they would probably we start there and remember its not Just Real Estate even though trump doesnt have enough in cash or cashlike assets like securities to cover the entire bill. He has some so you would want to probably start with those liquid assets anyway. And then for the real estate that does exist, some of them, some of that value is already encumbered and other places it says as hes taken loans out based on the collateral of those real estate properties. So its not as if you have the whole value of a maralago for example, even if you knew what that value was, which of course is part of the whole reason that were here in the first place is that those values were exaggerated. So it depends, but but well see what they do it is a complicated picture. Ive one more procedural question for you, jennifer. There was this debate between the trump team and the ag the trump team saying, we looked at 30 different companies, nobody could provide us this massive figure, 464 million. Letitia james argued back essentially saying, well, maybe they cant give you all of that, but you can go to these companies and separately, they can give you small chunks that then add up to that number. Is that a realistic argument from the ag could trump pursue that . Sure. And in fact, the one thing that team trump did say is why dont you make it just 100 loan at 1 million bond and then that we can do so. Then the question becomes, well, then why dont you just do two of those are three of those are four of those or however many you can get there. Theres one of the problem problems here and i think the ag puts her finger on it in her responses, there was not much transparency around what the trump team actually did and what negotiations are actually were with these 30 companies. So it very well may be that theres the opportunity to piece together smaller bonds to make up the whole amount. The issue is just making sure that the people people can be whole at the end of this, if at the end of the long appeal, the large judgment is still upheld, then they need to be paid. So thats what the bond is four, but theres no reason they cant be a bit creative about how to make sure that money is there one scenario, as you mentioned, we wind up seeing a Factfinding Mission to figure out just how extensive the trump team his research wasnt in trying to get this bond. Jennifer rodgers, appreciate the time. Thanks so much thanks. Of course so were keeping a close eye on the dow because it is flirting with a historic number. Look at that nearly nearing 40,000, a number of the index hasnt seen since it was founded, 120 plus years ago, cnns Rahel Solomon joining us now with more so obviously the market doing, doing well. The Historical Context here though, just over 15 years ago, the great recession, the dow was at 6,500, just a couple of years ago. Right . It was just around 20,000. So the fact that we are now closing in so quickly 40,000. What should we make of that jump yeah. I mean, its really been a remarkable period, i think just the last few years and certainly the last year or so. So if youre looking at the markets right now, are as of late, you see investors really seizing on a few things, three things in particular, one, the prospect of rate cuts in 2024, the fed just yesterday essentially reiterating their outlook, three rate cuts in 2020 for investors like that, you see, investors reacting to the fact that the us continues to show signs of pretty solid growth, investors like that. And then also when youre looking at tech stocks, its the Artificial Intelligence boom. And so thats sort of fueling the market enthusiasts because im that we have seen as of late, but aerope, youre absolutely right. If you take a step back, if you take a look at the broader perspective of the dow over the last few years. At times it has been a bumpy ride. It has been a volatile, right. And we can pull it up for you if you look at late march of 2020, for example, you see the dow plummet. I mean, its pretty dramatic there you see the dow plummet to about 18,000. Lets call it 213 points in late march. This is also around the same time, march, of course of 2020 the emergence of covid. Remember and so this is also around the same time that the fed comes out with these unscheduled march meetings, announcing that theyre slashing rates. It was really traumatic. It was a very dramatic period for. The markets we actually found one of those clips from march of 2020. Take a listen to chairman jay powell we reduced the target range for our policy Interest Rate by one percentage point bringing it close to zero. And said that we expect to maintain the rate at this level until were confident that the economy has weathered recent events so guys, rates for at practically zero. Imagine, i mean, the difference a few years can make, right . So fast forward a few years. Were still dealing with supply chain issues from covid many places around the world are dealing with a decadeshigh inflation, including here in the us and you see the fed do the opposite. You see them boost rates to a level at a level and at a pace that we havent seen in a really long time. And the fear guys was that anytime in the past the fed has had to boost rates as much and as quickly as they did, it almost always meant a recession, but that didnt happen this time, at least not yet. At least not in the data we see so investors are reacting to that. Now i just talked to mark zandi, the chief economist of moodys analytics. And i said, mark, look, i mean twothirds of americans roughly are invested in the stock market, whether its individual stocks, whether its there for one k, what do they make of this news . What do they make up the markets . And he said he sent me a statement. He said, as someone once said, the stock market isnt the economy, but its not not the economy. The soaring stock market is a strong endorsement of the strength of the prospects for lower Interest Rates. And another good lesson to never bet against the american economy. He did also tell me guys though that at times socks go up, socks go down, they go all around. So keep your your eye on the long term, but perspective is important and a little bit of advice, courtesy of mark sandi will take it. Does that mean i should or should not look at the four with k today, really, i think thats what we all should today, right . You deserve erica yeah real thing. Thanks so much for help. We do want to go straight to cairo overseas right now. Sure. Secretary of state Antony Blinken is speaking to the press. He is on another tour of The Middle East anticipating major talks tomorrow to exchange potentially hostages in gaza, for palestinian prisoners. And lets listen in to the Secretary Of State giving an update now on where talks stand if and as the Palestinian Authority pursues reform, im also convinced that the region will strongly supported regional integration is one of the Building Blocks of lasting peace and lasting security and that includes normalization for israel with its neighbors yesterday, i had an opportunity to meet again with Saudi Crown Prince mohamed bin salman, as well as with Foreign Minister and we had a very good discussion about the work that weve been doing for many months now on normalization. And that work is moving forward. Were continuing to make good progress. I believe we can reach an agreement which would present a historic opportunity for two nations. But also for the region as a whole so i think if you look back on these past couple of months since i was here in january we have been working very closely together with our partners on all of these postconflict pieces theres not only more consensus on the priorities ceasefire release of hostages humanitarian assistance and a Clear Pathway and plan for the future. I think theres increasingly consensus on the steps needed to achieve that these are difficult days but that only reinforces our determination to get to better days. Thank you again. So any liquid noisier so the sadow should any for that it was to start with ms suresh or any form destroy Newspaper Base so eva mind with my question is for his excellency, mr. Sameh shoukry what you would have been my whole todays meeting is distorted. The meeting which we do an Automobile Administrators Foreign Affairs of six contrary is to tackle the how to deal with the crisis in gaza treble. Were these meetings, of course include them, minister of Foreign Affairs and the united states. After the visits of Mester Blinken and the region, can you live . Would they form us with Deep Spaces Of Agreement and disagreement on how to get out of this Current Crisis and to explain to us how depositions are close to each other regarding the future vision in dealing with the egyptian, the estonian issue. I believe that theres a great ground do regarding deep concerns since this may it was worth of ceasefire. Jerry blinken, of course, in cairo on the heels of his means in saudi arabia talking about these discussions, right . This is his six trip. Of course, to the region since the war broke out calling these difficult days, but says it in his determination to get through those difficult days as they work with this consensus of countries to try to come to some sort of an agreement for a ceasefire. And of course, for the release of those israeli hostages. Now he outlined the priorities in those talks, a ceasefire, humanitarian assistance into gaza, the release of hostages, and notably a path toward the future. And that is where there is perhaps the most disagreement among everyone involved. Notably, he also talked about meeting with Mohamed Bin Salman The Crown Prince of saudi arabia yesterday, talking about the process of normalization between saudi arabia and israel still being something that theyre working on experts point to that potential normalization as part of the reason that hamas wound up attacking israel. So interesting to hear that from the Secretary Of State will of course key monitoring those remarks and all these other stories that are unfolding before us.

The fbi has arrested a texas man accusing him of sneaking onboard a Delta Flight On Sunday by taking advantage age of unsuspecting passengers at the gate. Officials say he got through after snapping a picture of someone elses boarding pass and it was likely a minor traveling by herself from a flight from Salt Lake City to austin according to Court Documents, quote, when the females boarding pass with scan, the system showed that she was already on board. See you in an correspondent pete muntean joins us now, peter, it was a Flight Attendant who flagged this accused stowaway. This is a little bit of catch me if you can, a little bit of titanic here. And so theres sort of intersecting, sorry to keep it on Liaam Movies A Lot of stowaways on airplanes try to get into the baggage area or maybe into a wheel well of an airplane, rarely ever do they get past the gate agent. This has to be one of the more crafted cases us attorneys have charged this texas man for sneaking onboard a delta flight bound to austin has happened in Salt Lake City on sunday, st. Patricks day, and Court Documents say 26 yearold why Cliff Flores Ard was planning to fly standby on a southwest flight . That flight was overbooked, so investigators say flores ard, one to the gate of this delta Flight Police were viewed the Security Footage which showed flores ard in the Boarding Area taking photos of multiple passengers, phones, and Boarding Passes while they were not looking the criminal complaint says flores are scanned his fake ticket boarded the plane, locked himself in the bathroom and did not come out until after the plane pushed back from the gate. Lets play might have worked if he did not get questioned by i have Flight Attendant and Court Documents say this flores ard indicated to the Flight Attendant that his seat was 21 f the Flight Attendant verified that the passenger who is in c 21 was the individual who had purchased and had been ticketed for that seat and it was not flores arts are clearly this created a lot of confusion on board. Flight attendants were able to figure out this man was not on their manifest pretty quickly, so they taxi back to the gate where the police were waiting. Police say floors are told them he got bumped from his original flight onto a later flight and was simply trying to get home and made a mistake. Now hes facing one count of stowing away in a vessel or aircraft. Whens the last time you heard that charge . That can carry a prison time of up to five years. Flores ard was in court today. He is being released on conditions and has been assigned a public defender. This happened on st. Patricks day. Know luck of the iris for him how is this like titanic, pete, leah i got a ticket. Its been awhile. Sorry, man this is going to be like i started crying castlight. I got jack was a stowaway and store crazy store. No doubt. Team. Thank you so much. Lets turn now to david soucie former faa safety inspector and cnn safety analysts thanks so much for being with us, david, is this alleged stowaway situation just an isolated incident or assigned to you that perhaps theres a greater systemic vulnerability to me. It does say that theres a systemic vulnerability and the fact that once someones ticketed and gets through the security and very first part of the flight thats when the opportunity exists. For example, you could get a flight for ticket for one flight and then bring Something Else onto a different in flight, which creates all kinds of issues. It is very serious crime would happen here it was fraudulent and it was im surprised that that is only facing the charges he is. I think this is much more serious than what people think it might be. Definitely. And when it comes to airport security, there are multiple layers you have to get through to get on the plane. Im surprised that it was as simple as just him taking a picture of someone elses ticket. And thats somehow just got him on board yeah we focused a lot on forge tickets and that sort of thing as far as getting through security, what is the vulnerability thats brought up here that needs to be addressed is the fact that you can buy a ticket for a different flight to access the area where we are boarding. And then from that point you have Carte Blanche to go wherever you want. And the fact that the gate agent didnt catch this, the system, another level of we talk about these layers of swiss cheese that allow these threats to get through. But the fact is this threat, ill win all the way through. There had to be multiple failures. He got himself through that first one by having a ticket to a different flight. But the second layer is when the gate agent checks it as they check in, youve done it get you can see it danes and it says, yes, everythings okay. But if theres a duplicate ticket that scan that system is designed to make that warning at that point before anybody ever gets down the down the runway into the airplane. So theres definitely some vulnerabilities and that system, whether its human failure, whether its a systemic failure that is yet to be determined, but it is a serious failure in my mind. Yeah. David, what we have, we also want to ask about a report regarding federal regulators conducting a Privacy Review of Data Policies at americas top ten airlines. What is that review and tail, what, what do you think they might find . Well it has a lot to do theres several different tiers of it. But if you think about just the hipaa regulations about Regulatory Information or information about your own personal health. Now, if theres a hipaa violation, which there could possibly be here if theyre asking for Health Information about passengers or, even employees of the airline they can ask that information. If that information is transferred, are moved without the permission of the person thats that owns that data, which is you for your own health care information, then that can be moved and its actually a federal crime and it can be a civil penalty of up to 25 to 35,000 dollars per event. So its a very serious thing as well. And privacy of information in todays world, as you know, i had my id stolen from me and i have to use different Social Security numbers and everything else. So its definitely possible to happen and it does. But when it happens with your own personal information, that becomes very serious and it needs to be looked at again and its another one of these threats or vulnerabilities that exist in air travel yeah, better to get out ahead of it now before it becomes a much broader problem david soucie, appreciate the perspective, thanks. All right. Thank you.

Get started today at hi, Melanie Zanona on capitol hill. And this is cnn in mississippi. The last of the socalled goon squad deputies is being sentenced today for torturing two black men. The gruesome details of these racially motivated beatings, torture sexual assaults, even a Mock Execution who should have played out in court. All six of the former Law Enforcement officers pleaded guilty back in august to federal charges. Attorney general Merrick Garland spoke out against their heinous acts, attacks earlier this week. This morning, former Rankin County deputy brett mcalpin, who you see there on the left . Was sentenced to more than 27 in prison. Now he was the highest ranking officer on the scene. And soon the man on the right that as former Richland Police officer Joshua Hartfield will learn his fate cnn Senior National correspondent ryan young joins us from jackson, mississippi where he has been following this case, but also youve been caught throughout these proceedings. Ryan what more did you hear in court today look, i think some of us are still shocked by some of the new details that were learning. A team of us have been following the story for almost a year now. And today, when we talk about the racial motivated part of this, what we are also learning is there are plenty of people who are white, who are showing up to now complain about these officers and the role they played. We learned that the fourth highest Ranking Member of the Sheriffs Department thats brett mac alkyne. He actually showed up off duty and civilian clothes and watched all this Go Down Eddie Parker really put it in sum that up really well, he says, everyones begging for mercy now, but that night while we were being tortured, beaten, waterboarded, Taese Over And over shot we begged for our lives and no one felt for us. So you can understand the pain thats still going on here, gets 27 years on top of all that a lot of people were concerned about or even talking about in the gallery was the fact that my Captains Attorney was a black man. Take a listen to that. Some of the defense and some of the reasons why he thought his client should have less time i think for mr. Mcalpin will be sentenced to more time than actual person who who shot mr. Jenkins i bought i bought against that, but unfortunately, you respect the course its ruling when they make a ruling, but, you know mostly in the work we put into this you know, you disappointed that you didnt receive the outcome that you want to, but i do think again the court has the final say in this i think its important as we talked to all sides here, because many of the men whove been accused keep pointing to the top, they safe for them to get raises and to get promotions and to become investigators that they had to continue this path pattern of beating people over and over for the defenses part, they were trying to say this was not racially motivated, but you can understand there are so many people when you talk about some of the things that weve heard in court about trying to force Menn Intersexual positions, try to get them to shower with each other theyre just not buying that. One of the other things that stood out to us as they call it the calvin, the dawn of the goon squad, and that he was sort of the leader on the inside. But other people are pointing to the top and saying this all comes from the sheriff and theyre hoping that the fbi or the doj stepson two investigate this entire department, because not only are you talking about a Sheriffs Department that was out there arresting people . You have a jail and people are concerned about the safety of the folks who are in that jail on a daytoday basis.

Then in an upset last week, she did. And when she did her extreme and controversial comments began getting attention last friday, cnns kfile reported that she has, for example, tweeted about wanting to see former president obama put in front of a firing squad on paper view saying, quote, we could make some money back from televising his death morrow has made suggestions about executing obama and other prominent democrats for treason, including then president elect biden. And the biden tweet. Heres how she answered the question, quote, will you follow joe bidens advice and wear a mask for 100 days . Never. She replies, quote, we need to follow the constitutions advice and kill all Traitors Morrow has also promoted various q and on Conspiracy Theories as part of that kfile reports, cnn reached out to her and her campaign multiple times to try to get her side of the story, but they never received a response after publication of the kfile story, morrow tweeted the following quote according to kff and cnn. Cnn politics. Obamas Drone Attacks on hundreds of innocent muslims in yemen are not treasonous the insanity of the media demonstrates the need to teach k through 12 students real history and Critical Thinking skills, which doesnt directly address the multiple social media postings we just listed. So we sent cnn senior Crime And Justice correspondent Shimon Prokupecz down in North Carolina to try and speak to her in person . Shimon. How did that go well, it took several days and then we finally caught up with her. She was actually attending a wake county. This is the county that she lives in. It was a convention there. And she went there to meet with delegates, to meet with other republicans. And after a couple of hours, when she came out, we finally got a chance to speak with her. Take a look at that exchange hi. Ms morrow how are you how did it go in there yeah. Great. Good. Who are you guys with . Im Shimon Prokupecz on with cnn. Have you been parked in my neighborhood by any chance . Weve been trying to talk to you . Yes okay. Well, you can go through my seven i have you now. So why dont we talk now . No. No, no, not well, i want to ask you, do you still stay . And im not talking too, maam, do you still stand by your comments about former president barack obama and that he should be executed the calling for the death of other president s. Do you stand by that were doing do you stand by those comments . Have a good night. Do you stand by what youve said about the Public Education system and that it needs to be destroyed . No. Do you stand by that . Do you understand the concern that people have with this nomination that you now have . And do you vote in North Carolina keep your eyes on your own paper well, let me ask you i ive read ive read papers. So here to keep your eye, turns, people have with your nomination and the things that you have set people in new york have concern over the country really concerned about North Carolina. Do you know that education is a problem in this entire country . So maybe they need to focus on whats going on in your state of new york, which by the way is where i grew up maybe they need to focus on whats going on in california where children are not getting the education that they need. Maybe they need to focus on what theyre doing in michigan because right now in North Carolina, im focused on helping the families of North Carolina for their children to get quality education for them to be safe and for us to be sure that our money is going into the classroom. Rather than bureaucracies. Thats what ive been focusing on. Thats what ive been fighting for for the last five years and going to the General Assembly and dealing with those issues. Right. So that is why im running my and the sooner but you have set such hurtful things to it, terms of education to tell you about transgender. One is so done with the gotcha moment. This is not a gotcha. Your own words, maam. Hes are your own. Thats not you have education. The former president are my words, because you tweeted, are those not your tweets . Do you deny saying that you have an opportunity now i am totally deny saying that i am. Are you denying that you said that in those tweets i am telling you how that im going talk about the indoctrination of children by teachers i am telling you, have you talked about that . Have you said that about student have you seen any of me going to the school board for the last five years because you will have my answer and so there you see bars, theres the continued refusal from her to answer the specific question. Since to talk about you know, what gives her the experience to be the superintendent, which is a hugely important position here. And hugely constant she would be overseeing a Public School Education System with 1,000,000. 5 students a massive budget and would give her a massive platform and a place to speak on a podium that has huge consequences. And such a huge reach so understand theres so many people in the state who are so concerned with the things that she has said and are just worried. The other thing is theres just this lack of empathy from her and understanding that how some of the things she has said could be really hurtful to many of the students in the kids that go to Public School here and just how detached her comments are from reality as well i bet shes going to start parking a lot closer to the door.

And how about the biggest firstround upset nearly 48 of pick oregon to advance der 11. Thats the force moos upset ever so well see if the ducts are able to advance. And then of course, a Bizarre Stat Sender in 2020, 40. 3 , four over 5,000 fans picked all 16 seats to advance. Thats a very bad idea, but i guess some people want to roll the die guys yeah. Why not . Especially if you do multiple brackets, you can remember back, i feel like harrys trying to give us a hard time about not finishing our brackets yeah. I got distracted.
