Well thanks for having me on. You know this is its not an opportune time to start to defund any efforts at Public Health i think that should be hopefully obvious to most people you know donald trump is no fan of Global Institution and i think he certainly would want to take steps to make sure that blame is placed didnt places other than where he is im not suggesting that the w. H. O. Did its job perfectly here i think the weather today b. H. O. The c. B. C. Or anybody else plenty of blame to go around but in the middle of a crisis to take the feet up the street that you need in the middle of a global epidemic doesnt make a lot of sense to me was the obama admin and what the Obama Administration is you know would have been prepared for this.

Good afternoon, everybody. So for the last six weeks in this class, weve been examining the political thought of the imperial crisis. That is, weve been looking at the debates between British Imperial officials and american wig patriots. And that debate has really in many ways come down to one issue which is broadly speaking what is the british constitution and how does it define relations between the mother country and her colonies . And more specifically even the real question is, what is the political constitutional relationship between the power and the authority of the British Parliament and americas colonial legislators . And over the course of about 12 years between 1764 and 1776, the British Parliament passed a series of laws. In 1764, it began with the sugar act and then a year later the stamp act and then in 176768 the townsend acts and then the tea act and then the coercive acts and then in 1775 the prohibittory act. But standing behind all of these acts of british legislati
