cylinders, my friend. thank you very much. i appreciate it. thank you for joining us at home. happy to have you here. tomorrow democrats in washington will be wearing their sunday best. it is a really big landmark day for them at 9:00 a.m. they ll start the home stretch final debate to pass the american rescue plan. a big covid relief bill that is the first thing the biden administration and the democrats in congress put their shoulders to when they got sworn in just two months ago. and you know, time will tell how this legislation is viewed over the long haul. but just at face value, it is more wide reaching progressive legislation than anything past, anything passed at least the last two democratic presidents. legislatively in terms of its progressive reach, in terms of its reach to make things better for people who need the most help. it is definitely on par with the affordable care act, with obamacare. but this bill, what the senate passed this weekend, what the house
legislation than anything passed anything passed at least the last two democratic presidents. legislatively in terms of its progressive reach, in terms of its reach to make things better for people who need the most help. it is definitely on par with the affordable care act, with obamacare. but this bill, what the senate passed this weekend, what the house will pass tomorrow, what president biden is about to sign, will hit a wider target than the affordable care act ever aimed at. as huge an accomplishment as that was to reform the absolutely broke and broken u.s. health care system to try to improve it in a fundamental way, this bill is bigger. it is aiming at more. it will strike what is hoped to be a decisive blow against the pandemic in terms of funding a coherent technocratically skilled national response. everything from testing to the vaccine rollout. we are in the middle of the largest vaccine rollout in the history of the country. this is how we re going to fund it
is on here. and we were mentioning that 90%, her conviction rate is 90%. it is high. a lot of d.a.s shoot towards that, don t often get there. what are some of the cases that she has been so successful in carrying out? well, she was well known for homicides. she would handle murder cases. and she had a very, very high conviction rate there. but she is most well known for the atlanta cheating scandal. she was a lead prosecutor on that case, which was a rico case. and if that was, you know, that was a very, very big scandal in which teachers and administrators in atlanta were charged with conspireing to inflate to change test scores, to make the school system look better. and she, you know, she got a lot of heat for that case because it was a very high profile case in atlanta.
is paying dividends for her. interesting for her. what about a school. if a school is a benefactor of that money, should the school be culpable or pay a price, as well? well, that s interesting, fred, in terms of how this whole cheating scandal is playing out. even the fact that the individuals involved who have pled guilty, who have made deals, the sentencing recommendations tend to be a lot lower than what we saw when you look at the atlanta cheating scandal. there is this great documentary out about that cheating scandal that talks about how those teachers involved. not an apples to apples comparison, but a major school cheating scandal and those recommendations were 3 to 30 years in some of those cases. what we re seeing in this cheating scandal is that the recommendations are on the much lower end of the sentencing guidelines. now, with respect to those schools not clear that any of the administrators, particularly those who didn t have knowledge will be held criminally respon
powerful and wonderful and amazing and have very problematic things going on in her life. she can clean up a crime scene in a white dress. but then she s a complete mess in a lot of other ways. i think it s called scandal. did we really expect a moral representation on television? when i think of story telling, right, we have to allow our characters to have their own dreams, desires and flaws. she is fully in grasp of the lip quiver. what is that? how can she do that? exactly. and she s the center of every room that she s in. and she is she is not supposed to be perfection or this heroine.
