Realignment was all about . Right now theres nothing to realign. Down the road there might be some without this kind of help im talking about and my fear its going to be a bifurcated system where youre going to have certain conferences and certain universities that are going to go for the dollars and now were going to have a total blurring of the professional versus the collegiate model in sports. And we talk about student athletes as employees, i mean, were going to go right up against that as close as we possibly can with payments and things of that nature without the enforcement thats necessary to kind of curtail that. We are going to ultimately have people paid. Some people have been speaking about having, you know, agents involved now in recruitment, having them involved in negotiating, certain conditions and terms and wages for student athletes. You know, we got this Jeffrey Kessler case. I hate to give it that name because hes the attorney. Hes not the plaintiff. But nevertheles
I am amazed that after this conference passed unanimously, the senate has unanimously, and the president signed instructions that our military and civilian contractors should be held harmless in this entire shutdown that after a week we are still waiting for them to implement the law that was put to place a week ago. They are allowing us to have more and more pain specifically in the military. All of us agreed together that they would be held harmless entirely. It is very frustrating that we even have to pass something for them to practice their religious faith. It is essential part of their life. For the administration to pull back and say there are places where you will not have worship on a weekend is absolutely unacceptable. The glad we passed that in house today. Hopefully the senate will take that out. This is something we have to d we have to do. Make sure we are continuing to looking at the intent. The republican position has continued to be no special treatment under the law.
Closure of National Parks, which did not stop some of them from berating park federal employees from enforcing the shut down. We have other members in this orwellian week, saying the shutdown is all about respect and we have got to get something out of this. We just do not know what it is. So finally, a moment of decency. Finally, we turn to the men and women who serve our country. 800,000 employees and we do something decent for them. We alleviate the angst of whether there will be a paycheck when we get around to reopening the government. One of those workers received the prestigious service to america medal in recognition of his exemplary leadership of the 6000 person team that conceived and executed nasas incredible curiosity rover mars mission. America is on a legally fortunate to have is fortunate to have this outlook worker whose Public Service should be celebrated and appreciated and compensated.

Is. That framed the 20062007 discussion. So just to cause right there again. During the debate less than a decade ago the real substantive discussion in the house of representatives was not whether they should be deported, and would assume they would all be deported from is also that they would all be found to be felons and criminals as we deported them. Now you advance the debate over the summer and one, the debate was being led enemies coordinated by leadership and the house of representatives. Thats a significant shift in ownership of the issue. You saw that in the first package of bills passed a bill to do with the Agricultural Workers come inside build to do with high skilled workers. And though we never got sort of, they never lifted the curtain on their final bill to deal with the children and undocumented, there was a complete absence from leadership and most of that party about deporting all 11 million. So to go from everyone being felons to just a question of everyone being a
The National Security crisis in the country right now. Cnn National Political reporter maeve rusten joins us and myles taylor served as former chief of staff at the department of Homeland Security for President Trump and david sangers writing, the biggest threat comes from the president of the United States himself. Its as if the Intelligence Community could put out an official bulletin warning right now. Obviously they wont. If you were still working there and this kind of thing could happen, what would be the warning you would issue to the American People . Well, its really difficult right now. In fact, john, hes put these departments and agencies in an impossible position because these departments and agencies are prepared to fight threats from outside the United States. But they cant fight threats from within, especially when the threat is their own boss. Ive got to say, i would echo david sangers words that the president of the United States has really fulfilled our adversarys dre
