Podcasts about George Washington University Law School

For today's episode, Lawfare Senior Editor and General Counsel Scott R. Anderson sat down with three leading legal experts on domestic military deployments: William Banks of Syracuse University College of Law, Laura Dickinson of the George Washington University Law School, and Chris Mirasola of the University of Houston Law Center. They discussed the legality of the Trump administration's decision to deploy U.S. troops on the streets of Los Angeles, where the state of California's legal challenge is likely to head, the Trump administration's broader ambitions to involve the military in immigration enforcement, and what it all may mean for the domestic use of the military elsewhere moving forward.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

'The Value of the Revised Draft Declaration on International Solidarity as a Corrective to the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum' The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum sets forth a solidarity mechanism that seeks to ameliorate inequalities in responsibility for processing asylum claims. NGOs are concerned that States are pursuing externalisation agreements and strengthening border security arrangements to promote deterrence in bad faith. The Revised Draft Declaration on International Solidarity provides a framework to correct the misunderstanding of solidarity with the EU Pact. In her address to the IIEA, Professor Bailliet presents the elements of an international solidarity human-focused asylum mechanism that ensures non-discrimination, provides access to justice, calls for a reversal of externalisation and keeps the best interests of the child at its core. About the Speaker: Professor Dr. jur. Cecilia M. Bailliet is the UN Independent Expert on Human Rights and International Solidarity and Director of the Masters Programme in International Law at the University of Oslo. She supported the creation of an International Solidarity Map: Solidarity Actions Around the World. She is Co-Chair of the Latin America Interest Group of the American Society of International Law. Prof Bailliet holds a combined J.D./M.A. (honours) degree from The George Washington University Law School & Elliott School of International Affairs. She received her Doctorate in law from the University of Oslo in Norway. Prof Bailliet has published extensively on transnational and cross-disciplinary issues within international law including general public international law, human rights, refugee law, constitutional law, counter-terrorism, gender/women's rights, solidarity, and peace. Prof Bailliet's books include:  Research Handbook on International Solidarity and the Law (2024), The Construction of the Customary Law of Peace: Latin America and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (2021), and The Research Handbook on International Law and Peace (2019). She has also contributed lectures to the UN AudioVisual Library of International Law.

LIVE from Plein Air Easton 2024, Tim and Jess talk with alumni artist Lisa Egeli. Lisa deep dives on her approach and philosophy to both her plein air work and her portraiture. Lisa Egeli paints the people and places we care about most.  Her ability to bring out the character of her portrait subjects has led to repeated commissions by many clients. Lisa has completed multiple commissions each for Johns Hopkins Hospital, Elon University and Washington College. Other portrait clients include but are not limited to the State of Maryland, University of California Davis Medical School, the University of Maryland Medical School, the George Washington University Law School and the Maryland National Guard. Lisa's land and seascapes portray the uniqueness of a place in a moment of time, capturing the light and its seemingly magical effects on the scene. Her work is inspired by her love of nature, and a belief in the need to highlight the vulnerability of our natural world.  Her penchant for travel has allowed her to build a body of work including views from around the world, working both en plein air and in the studio, most commonly in oil and often in pastel or watercolor. Her paintings have been featured in numerous exhibits and are held in many permanent collections.  Follow Lisa Egeli: Official Site Follow Plein Air Easton: Official Site Facebook Instagram YouTube Instructional Videos To inquire about being a guest or sponsoring the Plein Air Easton Podcast, send us an email at info@pleinaireaston.com.

I am a product of George Washington University Law School, so I feel I have an insider’s right to comment on the super-elite law firms that’ve suddenly been kowtowing to Trump.

What would happen if you woke up tomorrow fundamentally believing in your worthiness, regardless of your accomplishments? This question lies at the heart of our conversation with transformational leadership coach Toya Gavin, whose journey from burnt-out prosecutor to authentic coach reveals profound lessons about reclaiming our true selves.Toya shares the vulnerable moment when she publicly admitted her burnout and depression to thousands of fellow attorneys, expecting little response. Instead, she received an outpour from others suffering silently with similar struggles. This act of courage not only launched her coaching practice but demonstrated the transformative power of vulnerability.At the core of Toya's philosophy is "Woke Up Worthy", the revolutionary idea that our worth isn't tied to achievements or others' approval. This perspective offers liberation especially for women and people of color who often feel they must be perfect and never falter. As Toya explains, "We're expected to be these perfect things where nothing goes wrong and we never make mistakes...but for women and people of color, we don't get the room to try and see what we can create."Guest Bio:Toya Gavin is an attorney, coach, and founder of Woke Up Worthy. At Woke Up Worthy, Toya helps women of color stop chasing degrees so they can start going after the life they want. Toya is an ICF-certified coach and holds a Juris Doctorate from the George Washington University Law School and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Rutgers University. She also is licensed to practice law in New York and New Jersey. Toya's work as a coach is informed by numerous teachers, authors, artists, and practitioners, both personal and professional, including her sisters, aunts, husband, and mother.Connect with Toya:Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Substack Connect with Theresa and Ivana:Theresa, True Strategy Consultants: tsc-consultants.com LinkedIn @treeconti, Insta @tscconsultants Ivana, Courageous Being: courageousbeing.com LinkedIn @ivipol, Insta @courbeingSITP team, Step Into The Pivot: stepintothepivot.com LinkedIn @step-into-the-pivot, YouTube @StepIntoThePivot

Jorge Goldstein entered the fields of science and law at a time of immense change for them both. In the 1970s, huge strides were being made in biogenetics and microbiology, and in the 1980s, the intellectual property community was being asked to answer some giant questions they raised, like: How can you describe life, legally? Can a living being be patented? Who owns the material from your body?   The 45 years since the groundbreaking 1980 case of Diamond v. Chakrabarty, in which the U.S. Supreme Court decided that living organisms could be patented, have been an intensely busy time for microbiologists, biochemists, genetic researchers, and the patent lawyers who serve them. Goldstein, who holds a PhD in chemistry from Harvard University and a JD from George Washington University Law School, has been on hand to witness and help shape many of the resulting debates.   In Patenting Life: Tales from the Front Lines of Intellectual Property and the New Biology, Goldstein weaves stories from his own life and practice with the fascinating histories behind some well known medications, lesser known scientists, and groundbreaking court cases that will shape future scientific ventures. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, he and the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles discuss the book and the fascinating career he's had.   In the book, Goldstein explains many of the scientific developments behind technologies like CRISPR in a way that lay people can understand, while offering humanizing looks at the quirky and sometimes flawed scientists who made those discoveries. Large moral and ethical questions are raised about how technologies are developed, commercialized and put into practice, and he does not shy away from the discussions. He also offers his perspective on how patent law can be improved to fund further scientific advancements while also protecting innovation.   Goldstein and Rawles discuss key cases that helped shape genetic research, and some of the major changes he's seen in legal theory over his career. They also discuss tikkun olam, a concept in Judaism about how our actions can repair and improve the world. It's something Goldstein feels is a proper focus for science and for law, and they discuss two of the pro bono projects he has worked on with indigenous communities in which he can use patent law to protect their rights.   Finally, Goldstein offers advice to young scientists and attorneys who are interested in practicing in these fields, and shares his opinion on what artificial intelligence could mean in the patent law sphere.

Venkata Bhatta Das (Dr. Vineet Chander) was born and raised in New York City and discovered the path of Krishna Bhakti in his youth, initially through the devotional community called New Vrindaban. An initiated student of His Holiness Radhanath Swami for more than two decades, he is now a sought-after speaker and teacher in his own right. He is particularly known for his ability to infuse ancient wisdom with relevant examples and avenues for application. He has offered classes and seminars in several temples, ashrams, yoga studios, and online platforms. In his professional life, Venkata is an Assistant Dean of Religious Life at Princeton University and serves as the institution's Hindu Chaplain. His writing has appeared in several publications, and he is co-author of two academic volumes on Hinduism and spiritual care. He earned his JD (law degree) from the George Washington University Law School, his MA in religion from Rutgers University (where his advisor was Professor Edwin Bryant), and his doctorate from New York University. Venkata and his wife, Krsangi Devi Dasi, were among the handful of pioneering community members who, in the early 2000s, came together to found the Bhakti Center in NYC. They have served the project in various roles, including as pujaris (temple priests), educators, mentors, and community group leaders. Venkata served as a board member of the Bhakti Center for five years.

The Washington Roundtable speaks with Jeffrey Rosen, the president and C.E.O. of the National Constitution Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit, about how America's founders tried to tyrant-proof their constitutional system, how Donald Trump's whim-based decision-making resembles that of the dictator Julius Caesar, and what we can learn from the fall of the Roman Republic.

Matewan (written and directed by John Sayles) dramatizes the events of the Battle of Matewan, a coal miners' strike in 1920 in a small town in the hills of West Virginia. In the film, Joe Kenehan (Chris Cooper, in his film debut), an ex-Wobbly organizer for the United Mine Workers (also known as the “Wobblies”), arrives in Matewan, to organize miners against the Stone Mountain Coal Company. Kenehan and his supporters must battle the company's use of scabs and outright violence, resist the complicity of law enforcement in the company's tactics, and overcome the racism and xenophobia that helps divide the labor movement. Sayles's film provides a window into the legal and social issues confronting the labor movement in the early twentieth century and into the Great Coalfield War of that period. I'm joined by Fred B.

Allen Heneveld has an amazing background! He now is a practicing attorney in the greater Grand Rapids area, focusing on helping small businesses thrive. But he also has prior experience as a CPA accredited accountant. Allen has an undergrad degree from Hope College, an MBA degree from Duke University, and a Juris Doctor (law) degree from George Washington University Law School. Allen is married to his dear wife Nina, and together they have four wonderful children. Beyond that, Allen states on his law firm website that he is a very blessed man. Why? He says it's because he has a deep relationship with the Father, with Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And that his desire is that all of his life would flow out of that relationship – just like Jesus. In this podcast, Allen shares a wealth of godly wisdom for us. He begins by relating how he personally went from being a lukewarm Christ follower to being wholehearted in his pursuit of Jesus and His way of living. As a result, Allen followed the leading of the Holy Spirit to preach at a number of churches in various places of America, encouraging those in attendance to similarly give all to Christ. Many responded positively to his exhortation. In recent months, Allen has been working on a book that is much needed in our world: it's about our need to forgive, to rid ourselves of ALL bitterness. Allen has personally helped many folks process the lack of forgiveness in their lives resulting in their having much greater peace, joy and love. Even our secular world is seeing a correlation between bitterness and cancer! Bitterness is truly a cancer of the soul and, apparently, the body as well! Finally, Allen shares how we can best do what Jesus commanded in Matthew 6:19-21, where Jesus tells us to lay up treasures in heaven, not on earth. We need to do it for Him, in love, and for His name's sake. The result is possessing eternal blessings!

(Ticketed event)On September 11, 2001, at the age of 45 and at the height of her professional and personal life, Barbara K. Olson was murdered in the terrorist attacks against the United States as a passenger on the hijacked American Airlines flight that was flown into the Pentagon. The Federalist Society believes that it is most fitting to dedicate an annual lecture on limited government and the spirit of freedom to the memory of Barbara Olson. She had a deep commitment to the rule of law and understood well the relationship between respecting limits on government power and the preservation of freedom. And, significantly, Barbara Olson was an individual who never took freedom for granted in her own life, even in her final terrifying moments-her inspiring and energetic human spirit is a testament to what one can achieve in a world that places a premium on human freedom. Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson delivered the first lecture in November 2001. The lecture series continued in following years with other notable individuals.Featuring:Prof. Jonathan R. Turley, J.B. and Maurice C.

Georgetown University law professor Randy Barnett has played an integral role in the rise of originalism—the movement to identify, restore, and defend the original meaning of the Constitution. But Barnett's path to becoming an influential professor of constitutional law was not an easy one. Starting from a working-class childhood in Calumet City, Illinois, Barnett's unusual resume has included stints as an ice cream truck driver, newspaper ad salesman, prosecutor, libertarian theorist, contract law professor, and Supreme Court advocate. In his new autobiography, A Life for Liberty, Barnett tells the complete story of his personal and professional journey.Barnett's life story is a model for how libertarians can put their ideas into practice and help change the world. As a young Harvard law student, Barnett had living room debates with Murray Rothbard and served on the board of a libertarian institution with Leonard Liggio and other notable thinkers. Barnett's focus on individual rights prepared him for the turning point in his career, when he was the only person on a high-profile panel willing to argue that the Ninth Amendment protects “unenumerated rights” from government infringement.After establishing himself as “Mr. Ninth Amendment,” Barnett eventually pivoted his career to constitutional law. His mission to restore “the lost Constitution” took him from the schoolhouse to the courthouse, where he argued the medical marijuana case Gonzales v. Raich in the Supreme Court—a case now taught to every law student. Later, he devised and spearheaded the constitutional challenge to Obamacare. Today, thanks in part to his efforts, a majority of sitting Supreme Court justices self-identify as originalists.In this book forum, Professor Barnett will discuss his life story, the lessons he's learned, and the ways in which his thinking continues to evolve. Professor Jonathan Turley of the George Washington University Law School will offer commentary on the book, drawing from his own perspective as a fellow legal academic. Hosted on Acast.

Today's guest is Boston University School of Law professor Woodrow Hartzog, who, with the George Washington University Law School's Daniel Solove, is one of the authors of a recent paper that explored the novelist Franz Kafka's worldview as a vehicle to arrive at key insights for regulating privacy in the age of AI. The conversation explores why privacy-as-control models, which rely on individual consent and choice, fail in the digital age, especially with the advent of AI systems. Hartzog argues for a "societal structure model" of privacy protection that would impose substantive obligations on companies and set baseline protections for everyone rather than relying on individual consent. Kafka's work is a lens to examine how people often make choices against their own interests when confronted with complex technological systems, and how AI is amplifying these existing privacy and control problems.

Calls for Congress to return from October recess continue to grow after two devastating hurricanes tore through the Southeastern part of the United States. President Joe Biden says he supports providing FEMA with $15 billion to fund the recovery effort and warned that FEMA will struggle to make it through the rest of hurricane season if Congress doesn't step in. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains whether or not government entities will be able to meet the financial demands following both storms.  The Supreme Court justices returned to the bench this week for the start of a new term. The High Court has selected 40 cases to look over this term, from Ghost Guns to medical marijuana and whether or not minors can receive puberty blockers. Yet, the Justices decided to forgo the controversial IVF case from Alabama, sparking speculation that the court doesn't want to involve itself with sensitive cases during an election year. Constitutional law professor at the George Washington University Law School, Jonathan Turley shares why he thinks the current Justices are trying to keep the peace and why the court may be drawn into partisan disputes this term.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What did Thomas Jefferson and the members of the Second Continental Congress mean when they wrote “the pursuit of Happiness” into the United States Declaration of Independence? And why is pursuing happiness so important that Jefferson and his fellow Founding Fathers included it in the Declaration of Independence's most powerful statement of the new United States' ideals?  Jeffrey Rosen, the President and CEO of the National Constitution Center and a law professor at George Washington University Law School, joins us to investigate and answer these questions with details from his book, The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America.  Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/394 Sponsor Links Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Complementary Episodes Episode 061: The Retirement of George Washington Episode 123: Revolutionary Allegiances Episode 117: The Life and Ideas of Thomas Jefferson Episode 145: Mercy Otis Warren and the American Revolution Episode 150: Abigail Adams: Revolutionary Speculator Episode 203: Alexander Hamilton Episode 231: The Religious Lives of the Adams Family Episode 207: Young Benjamin Franklin Episode 307: History and the American Revolution Episode 377: Phillis Wheatley & the Playwright Listen!

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), long a favored forum for patent infringement disputes, has recently come under fire for duplicating the functions of the federal courts where patents disputes – often the same ones that are before the ITC – are litigated. In this panel, Professors Jorge L. Contreras, Michael Doane, and F. Scott Kieff will discuss the pros and cons of the ITC's patent jurisdiction and whether any changes are warranted in light of technology markets that are increasingly global in scope.Featuring:Prof. Jorge L.

How can we ensure the preservation of democracy?

Their conversation centered around themes from Jeff's newest book The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America, including the lives of the founding fathers and their quest for virtue, their emphasis on self-mastery and character development, how social media is validating the founding fathers' fears of unmediated democracy, the state of play in American politics today, and much more.

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Randall Eliason, white collar crime professor at George Washington University Law School and author of the Sidebars newsletter, to discuss the recent developments in all of Trump's criminal cases. First, they run through updates on Israel's mass slaughter of civilians in Rafah, failing US aid to Gaza, the Texas GOP, Biden's nomination for President, South African politics, Alito's absurd alibi, and the future of the Clean Water Act, before watching John Kirby claim offense over an incredibly reasonable question that happens to acknowledge the horrors occurring in Gaza. Professor Randall Eliason then joins, as he dives right into a summary of the central arguments on either side of Trump's ongoing hush money case, parsing particularly through Trump's Defense's decision to step away from the incredibly viable route of undermining the “proof of intent” in Trump's payments to Michael Cohen, instead going all in on the Trumpian route of character assassinations against Stormy Daniels and Cohen, and relying on claims that these were legitimate legal expenses (they weren't). Next, Professor Eliason explores the concept of the broader fraud arguments Alvin Bragg's prosecution could have used against Donald Trump, before wrapping up their Hush Money conversation by assessing the impact of a hung jury on the future of the case. Randall then looks to Trump's January 6th case, and Jack Smith's special council indictment as the second most likely case to be heard before November, and tackles Judge Aileen Cannon's successful attempts to slow-walk the “Stolen Documents” case in Florida, before wrapping up the interview with the Supreme Court's role in Trump's various legal woes, and whether the recent charges against Alito will have any impact on the Court. Sam and Emma also examine the major holes in Justice Alito's recent attempt to shirk responsibility for hoisting various blatantly anti-Democratic and conspiratorial flags at his house. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Donald Trump Jr. call out notorious grifter… Robert De Niro? walk through major issues around polling and turnout as November's presidential election draws near, and parse through Tim Pool's warning to teenage women that if they don't try to fuck him, they'll be single forever. They also dive into Samuel Alito's refusal to recuse himself from the Trump case in the wake of the Justice's January 6th flag waving, American Airlines' stunning display of racial discrimination, and RFK's claim that US history, in the context of confederate statues, should be celebrated and protected.

It's News Day Tuesday! But first, Emma speaks with Randall Eliason, white collar crime professor at George Washington University Law School and author of the Sidebars newsletter, to discuss the recent developments in all of Trump's criminal cases. First, Emma runs through updates on today's Pennsylvania primaries, Trump's ongoing hush money case, primary polling, growing backlash to Zionist repression on college campuses, Israel's bombardment on Rafah, Senate legislation, solar subsidies, FTC policy, Starbucks v. NLRB, Tennessee's charter voucher bill, and the UK's new migrant deportation program, before parsing through the Supreme Court's ongoing case likely to uphold Grants Pass, Oregon's effective ban on homelessness. Professor Randal Eliason then joins, first reminding us of the general tally of Trump's myriad civil and criminal legal cases, before diving deeper into the ongoing trial surrounding his hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, including the state's attempt to spin the genuine falsification of legal and business records into an attempt to interfere in the development of the 2016 election. After assessing what he sees as the weak points in the state's arguments, and quickly running through the role of the already-convicted Michael Cohen in these payments, Professor Eliason explores the extreme stance being taken by Trump's legal team, not just arguing against the election interference claims but attempting to claim that the records themselves are legitimate. Next, Emma and Randall look to the civil cases facing Trump, including the massive bond he currently owes New York, and parse a little deeper through the major cases out of Florida – surrounding his mishandling of classified documents – and D.C. – on the role he played in the January 6th insurrection attempt. Wrapping up, they tackle the role of Trump's Supreme Court immunity hearings in preventing either of these cases from impacting his candidacy, and explore what a second Trump presidency would mean for the future of any of these cases. Emma also touches on the ongoing anti-war and anti-genocide protests coming out of Columbia University, and the powerful display by faculty to stand with the students. And in the Fun Half: Emma gets some primary previews from John from San Antonio, Jesse Watters is astonished the criminal justice system is treating Trump like a criminal, and the State Department has an unsurprising need to know more before commenting on the mass grave revelations out of Gaza. Raz from Ojai asks for some pointers on debating universal healthcare, the MR Team unpacks the absurd conversation around crime (from all sides of the political spectrum), and Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan ponder the legitimacy of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, plus, your calls and IMs!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode: 3:05pm- On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley teased a “major” speech. Many media outlets believed Haley was announcing the suspension of her campaign ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, her home state, where she is projected to lose by 25-points, according to Real Clear Politics polling averages. However, she vowed to continue with her long-shot campaign. 3:10pm- In his Silver Bulletin newsletter, statistician Nate Silver wrote: “If you'd asked me a year ago, I would have told you that Joe Biden was a reasonably clear favorite in the event of a rematch against Donald Trump. Not an overwhelming favorite, mind you. But perhaps a 65:35 favorite…Since then, Biden's situation has become considerably worse…Personally, I crossed the Rubicon in November, concluding that Biden should stand down if he wasn't going to be able to run a normal reelection campaign—meaning, things like conduct a Super Bowl interview. Yes, it's a huge risk and, yes, Biden can still win. But he's losing now and there's no plan to fix the problems other than hoping that the polls are wrong or that voters look at the race differently when they have more time to focus on it.” You can read more here:  https://www.natesilver.net/p/its-time-for-the-white-house-to-put 3:15pm- During an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC's This Week, radio personality Charlamagne tha God referred to President Joe Biden as an “uninspiring candidate” and did not endorse him in the 2024 presidential election. 3:30pm- Flashback: During a debate with Democrat presidential candidate Walter Mondale in 1984, President Ronald Reagan was asked about his advanced age.

Many media outlets believed Haley was announcing the suspension of her campaign ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, her home state, where she is projected to lose by 25-points, according to Real Clear Politics polling averages. However, she vowed to continue with her long-shot campaign. 4:10pm- While speaking with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi baselessly claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin could successfully bribe Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump if he were ever to return to office. 4:15pm- While appearing on CNN, businessman Kevin O'Leary warned that Judge Arthur F. Engoron's decision to fine Donald Trump $354 million for inflating the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in past financial statements could lead to businesses fleeing the state of New York—resulting in severe economic damages. O'Leary also noted how strange the civil suit was considering there were no victims. 4:30pm- George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley told a Fox News panel that he would not be surprised to see Donald Trump appeal his $354 million fine all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. 4:50pm- During a conversation with Bari Weiss of The Free Press, Harvard University economics professor Roland Fryer revealed that “all hell broke loose” following the publication of a 2017 study he conducted on police shootings and the use of force based on race. Fryer writes: “On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force—officer-involved shootings—we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.” Because Fryer's research concluded that there is no racial bias in police shootings, there was immediate backlash from members of academia.

Dr. Rachael James, the medical director of the University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT)  trust—which was the first British trust to use terms such as ‘chestfeeding' and ‘birthing parent'¸ wrote a letter last August to an organization called Children of Transitioners in which she claimed that ‘the term human milk (which she called the ‘ideal food for infants') is meant to be neutral and is not gender-biased.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-sick-british-hospitals-say-milk-from-trans-men-equal-to-mothers-breast-milk-for-babies 6:30pm- On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley teased a “major” speech.
