Scotland yard, canadian police, the fbi, that sort of thing. They have been around longer than any state Law Enforcement organization in the United States. And they have this worldwide image. That is what i am going to explore a little bit tonight. How they got this image, what this image is, but i think we all have some idea of what a texas ranger is. Maybe from tvs and movies, if nothing else. That was my first exposure to the rangers. Growing up in florida, i watched this disney show called texas john slaughter. Some of you may have seen that. The theme song was texas john slaughter, made them do what they outta, because if they didnt, they would die. The lone ranger may be the most famous cinematic and tv, radio rangers that started in 1933. Out of wxyz in detroit. The script was originally called the war on lester man hunter. But then they changed it to lone ranger. We would still be talking about it today. The rangers have been in hundreds of movies. There have been hundreds of b
He should be president , a night a lifetime in the making. He takes the stage tonight at 77, the oldest nominee in american history. His first run for president in 1987 undone by charges of plagiarism. In 2008, eclipsed by the star power of Hillary Clinton and barack obama. And four years ago it appears his political career was over when clinton won the nomination with the quiet help of president obama. But the shocking win of donald trump in 2016 made this nomination possible. Hell argue tonight, joe biden, that it makes his election necessary. Speaker after speaker at this convention made the case that President Trump is not up to the job, that he plunged the nation into crisis and poses a danger to our democracy. Most by barack obama, an attack by a president on a sitting president. That case being made by the member of the greatest generation, 92yearold ed wood. I have been a republican since 1960s. Im a member of the nra, and i voted for trump. I think trump has been the worst pre
The court. His class is about 75 minutes. All right, today we are going to be looking at is the development of Controversial Supreme Court nominations in the late sixties and early seventies. We are looking at the war in court, this increasing surge of controversial decisions from the court. Theres basically two basic principles. This idea that it was a particular job of the Supreme Court to stand up on behalf of people who may not have majority support, whether it was atheist, Civil Rights Activists, or criminal defendants throughout the 1960s. Second, the emergence of this philosophy that some historians have called rightsrelated liberalism. The idea that liberalism was primarily for the protection of individual rights. As a result, the Supreme Court became an important mechanism for this. One problem, that is if youre going to be governing, you have to be able to appoint Supreme Court justices and as we will see this becomes a froth prospect for liberals. The backdrop, london be joh
Testu know, this was a that was arranged by the white house. Thats all i know. I did not ask. I did not think much about it. Protocol. Point, i had an appointment to see the president in washington. They explained i would get the test and i would be able to see the president. That did not take place. The meeting did not take place. We had some conflict. I dont know. Obviously, its a rapid test. They got the results back right away. Beyond that, i cant tell you. Im sure the white house can tell you exactly what the test was. I dont know. Our next question is from laura in cleveland. Im glad to see you are doing well. I have a question. Social media going crazy right now, a lot of people saying this is an example of why i dont need to wear a mask, i thought masks worked. What would you say those people who are now doubting whether they should wear a mask . Clearly, you have been wearing one. Texts, not sofew nice text from people about that. We told you this was all fake. We told you tha
Now, im joined by senators wyden, stabbed now, and brown. Americans today are on the precipice of, and in some cases, have already gone over several cliffs, for one reason and one reason alone. The white house and city republicans could not get their act together, wasting precious time. They still dont have their act gather. In my many years and serving in this chamber, i have never seen , thisrity of any type republican majority, respond to a National Emergency in such a disorganized and disoriented fashion. Its hurting americans. Its not like they didnt know the deadlines were coming up. Democrats in the house passed the heroes act two and a half months ago. Instead of coming up with a single, comprehensive bill, divisions within their own party forced republicans to release several separate bills, with all the infighting, they cannot even agree on one bill. They cannot even get 51 votes for anything that is comprehensive. That deals with the very real problems the American People fa
