just as some justices have said from other courts, just because there s an emergency doesn t mean that americans have to give up their constitutional rights. and especially since everything that fauci has talked about has not been effective. it s not working. you may have seen the latest data out of the united kingdom. so in england, the united kingdom, 81% of the deaths have been among the vaccinated. and when i was hosting sean hannity s radio show yesterday, i had dr. ralph malone are on, the guy that discovered, that created the mrna, that technology that s used in the vaccinations. he is extremely concerned. he said there hasn t been adequate testing. and this changes people s genetics. and it does do irreparable damage in many cases they know of, creating lesions in the brain, creating damage to the
disabilities the take decisions, such as banning carbon projects, often, they do not address the differential cost and burden that this may impose on individuals with disabilities. we hope that they will hear us and involve us and also in many cases plans of emergency doesn t respond simply to people with disabilities. the infrastructure of hospitals is not often designed to be accessible. also, information and communication is often not accessible. for example, sign interpretation is not standard. perhaps organisations are rarely involved in decision making and planning. we really hope we can
each other and our citizens during this hurricane. mayor, before i let you go, because i m sure you have a lot of work you need to be doing today on behalf of your city, the thing that, of course, makes this moment different than katrina, beyond the infrastructure that has been put in place, is that we are now contending with covid-19. we re contending with a pandemic. what does that mean for a city like yours? what does that mean in shelters? what does that mean in hotels? how do we make sure one emergency doesn t lead to another? you re absolutely right. we have to make sure that as people go into shelters, specifically, that they get tested, and that any individual that is covid positive has to be put in an isolated area with others. but we also hope that this serves as another important signal for our citizens to go get vaccinated if they have not been vaccinated. and so here we are in the midst of a major hurricane weather

donald trump is back in washington. after a long president s day weekend in florida. facing a major challenge to his national emergency declaration. 16 states joining together in a lawsuit filed in u.s. district court in northern california. they claim the president is going around congress to reallocate money to pay for the border wall with mexico. california attorney general is leading the charge. the president doesn t have the power of the purse. president can t decide to shuffle money around once congress allocated it. that s for congress to do. otherwise president s for the last 240 years would have been doing the same thing. when they don t like where congress puts the money. because trump fabricated a crisis and called it an emergency doesn t mean he can violate the separation of power under the constitution. as you know president trump wanted $5.7 billion for the
