you are a professor at the university of southern california. you honed in on a part of this in a study on the economic benefits of naturalization and citizenship. i'm going to ask you in two parts, let's first talk about the benefits to the individual immigrant. >> let me start by saying that i want to push back on one thing you said which is that some college degrees do signal that you are a drug addict. [laughter] you want to be careful about that. i thought that it would be graceful because i am from california to start by talking about the state rivalry and making fun of california but apparently that was done already. we are hoping now that your governor is retiring that he won't spend the next two years to get usc to become usd. we did a report about a year ago called "citizen gain," which is a great title. when you tell young people citizen gain, they are like what does that mean? what we gain in particular in naturalization. the interesting thing was that we try to control for language ability, recency of migration. >> you have to expla

people go to california for welfare. you are seeing the differing economic outcomes as a result. texas is the model other states should be emulating. >> stephen moore from a recent discussion we covered. when you see some of those clips, the video portions, you can see them all in our video library. he was comparing jobs in california and texas. we will go to texas next. john, on our independence line, good evening. caller: i agree. the more immigrants we let in, they will go back to where they came from, not learned english, mexico, guatemala, wherever they came from, what is the point? they are taking jobs away from americans. wages do not go up. the wages down here have been low for years. because, there are many illegals in the area. that is -- what is the answer? i do not know. in order to deport them, you take them right to mexico, they are back. some of them are hard workers. how do you decide who is tuesday and who is to go? >> thanks for your call. more of your calls coming up as we look at the issue of immigrat

california, oregon, and washington. you watch, the rest of this dias is going to be looking insane, why can't we have that -- from wherever they're from. my constituents seeing already an average of $500 per family in insurer rebate from parts of the already working to hold insurers accountable for how they spend the premium dollars they take in. this is not an investigation in pursuit of better government. it is a desperate 11th hour attempt to stop a law that will help americans. part of me to believe that people who have made no proposals -- hard for me to believe that people that made no proposals are saying to people back home, don't dare sign up for this, this obamacare, it is going to be awful for you. to wind up -- i don't know how you run for office telling people that you don't want to. and the proposal that is on the table here today is straight out of the republican party. mitt romney created it in massachusetts, and at least one campaign this dias nationally on this issue saying that they are now against ro

through the loss of four little girls in birmingham, and the agony of dallas and california and memphis. through setbacks and heartbreaks, that flame of justice flickered. it never died. because they kept marching, america changed. because they marched, the civil rights law was passed. because they marched, the voting rights law was assigned. because they marched, doors of opportunity in education swung open so their daughters and sons could imagine a life for themselves beyond washing someone else's laundry or shining someone else's shoes. because they marched, city councils changed and state legislatures changed and congress changed. eventually the white house changed. [cheers and applause] because they marched, america became more free and more fair. not just for african-americans, but for women and latinos. asians and native americans. catholics, jews, and muslims. for gays, for americans with disabilities. america changed for you and for me. the entire world drew strength from that example, whether it be young people who watched from the other side of an iron curtain and would even

one of the interesting came from a guy from california. i have triplets and their 14 and we have been grooming them for stamper but having read in your book that the return on investment is better than harvey mudd -- so i hope to hear from harvey mudd and get a fee or percentage for this. the other was from a recent graduate of north nc state university who said i'm afraid what you said about the liberal arts is entirely true. i finished a four-year probe ram and i won't mention the college. therefore your program at a well-known liberal arts college in the south trade hugh reeves said i realized they had learned absolutely nothing. part of the problem the humanities and social sciences as we were talking about for lunches that they have changed the dramatic way. this is when of the reasons they are not worth as much but after finishing four years of liberal arts college he said i've been enrolled as a freshman at nc state university in nuclear engineering. and he graduated at 25. he wrote me at 27 and he said it for your mistake but i had

. >> let me ask you about a senator from california who wants to redefine what the first amendment says by saying who has free speech rights. >> i think that is wrong to define the first amendment in such a way that it only protects journalists. everyone has first amendment protection. everyone has the right to free speech whether you are a journalist are not. >> she wants to say who is a journalist and who is not a journalist. >> yeah. >> there is a long series of barrages against civil rights. not you. i trust you actually. i do not know why. [laughter] [applause] the white house is bought and paid for. the things they are doing now -- what am i supposed to do when homeland security barges into my house? >> i understand. the culture is changing. on the amash amendment, you have the white house, democratic leadership, republican leadership, the intelligence community, all sorts of high- level officials saying, do not vote for this amendment. it will be a disaster. still, the majority of democrats and nearly half of the republicans voted for the amendment. aims are changing. it will tak

it would admit california into the union as a free state. it also would prevent the sale, the open auction of slaves in washington d.c., but it would also give millions of dollars to texas. it would subdivide a portion of the mexico and give today what this west texas to texas, which previously, no one had believed belonged to texas. and most importantly, created the fugitive slave law of 1860. it is an outrageously unfair law in which alleged fugitive slaves are not even allowed to testify at hearings on their own behalf. if a free black is used in new york, the man cannot say no, you have the wrong person. fillmore pushes the fugitive slave law, signs it, almost immediately after it is passed by congress, and very aggressively enforces it. >> how did the compromise of 1850 work into the timelines of abigail fillmore? do we know about her position on slavery and how it might have complemented or been different from her husband? >> i don't. >> what is odd about millard and abigail is that they come from a part of new york known as the burned

i live in california until 1995. was born. i was a police officer and a police detective in san diego for a number of years and was also a well drilling contractor. i had to other businesses, a mechanic and machinist. i can tell you problems that have killed california are headed right here. someone better wake of. california was just like this place was in about 1970. right now if you go to los angeles, four of five babies are being born to illegal aliens, and they do not pay a dime. the california unemployment rate is indescribable. i don't want to see that happen here. i moved here because i have been here in the army says the 1960's and know what a great state of oklahoma is. thank god it is here. i don't want to see it destroyed. no amnesty. no work permits. get rid of every illegal alien. pushed them back across the border. that is your enforcement. and cut unemployment to six weeks. i have had numerous jobs or my lifetime and never took me more than two weeks to become employed. when i move tell, i went to the unemploye

we will go to camp pendleton, california. if you happen to see the event? buter: unfortunately, not, i had several peers that went. i was more impressed with him as a public speaker. the background that i am in, he --not a popular affiliate figure. one of the things i wanted, and regional medialy is. being exposed to the that way of thinking, a huge group of people that are not from the same background as mine, the same news stories, my fellow democrats viewed it as a war propaganda machine are saying a it as my peers view liberal propaganda, if that makes sense. host: thanks for your call. the video of president obama speaking at camp pendleton earlier today. the white house announcing the president would not be meeting with vladimir putin in russia in moscow in the upcoming g-20 summit. a reporter writing about the decision and probably about its vocation's and policy. what is russia's game/ political scientists might call this behavior, and perhaps the most noteworthy fact about the post-cold war world now is how little does balancing has occurred until

not so much in california, new jersey. this superintendent sharing program is interesting and hopefully somebody will study that. how large do the other entities have to get to take on certain tasks in order to be affected? >> i think your paper and the position that one size does not fit all is the right position to take. inter-district choice may help in some cases, but there needs to be real choice, if that is the case. it has to be about quality and kids, as opposed to the politics have to get to take on certain that we see around choice right now. in the places that we were, in most of the rural communities, high poverty, already consolidated, inter-district choice is often not an option. there are transportation costs. north carolina had a cap of 100 on its charter school program. that has since been removed. now we have charters popping up all over the state, but they are not held to the same kind of responsibilities for students, for transportation, food programs, and those kinds of things. if you are going to exer

here in california we make voting easy for chinese immigrants. there are ballots that are translated into chinese so even if you don't speak the language you can go get yourself a chinese ballad and fill in the circles. obviously that is not the case in other states with smaller immigrant populations but i would just say here in california it's very easy for immigrants to vote. so many things are bilingual and multilingual. whether immigrants actually vote or not is a different issue. i haven't seen the polls are the studies so i'm not totally sure about the voting rates within a particular immigrant population but i mean i'm sure that like other in america there are lots of people who don't vote so it wouldn't surprise me if lots of first-generation immigrants don't vote either. >> you think america is still free? >> i think lots of things are relative so when people ask me that question i usually ask compared to what? there is an index of economic freedom and so every year hong kong and singapore come out of the very top of it so compared to ho

the largest cut under sequestration and their enrollment in california and texas of over 70 percent of the children :. high quality in early childhood education programs on one of the best tools we have to ensure that children have been a close -- eight the shot at being free. recently one of our panelists today, recently put out some to nicole for reset in the debate $1 trillion in deficit reduction. because of lower cost, sequestration. we also pointed up, stifling economic growth. we challenged under to take these facts and evidence and to shift the debate from cuts into investments in a future. there's no better place for us to invest in our young children. in that paper we do call upon congress to make substantial investments in the religion of the education. the evidence for these investments we believe for an average charge of it is not receive a high-quality education is 25 percent more likely to drop out of school, 40 percent more likely to become a teen parent, 50 percent more likely be placed in special education, 60 percent more likely never to attend college, and 70 percen

homeland security secretary janet napolitano is stepping down to be president of the university of california. she spoke tuesday at the national press club for half an hour. >> good morning and thank you for joining us today for the secretary of homeland security, janet napolitano's farewell address. for over four years, she has overseen the third-largest cabinet agency in the federal government with more than 240,000 employees across the country and around the world dedicated to keeping our nation safe, secure, and more resilient. these join me in welcoming secretary janet napolitano. [applause] >> hi. thank you. good morning. thank you for joining us today and that like to thank the national press club for hosting us. i want to thank the men and women of dhs. in my 4.5 years as secretary, i have come to know many of these men and women, hear their stories, and see them perform important work of the department every day. getting to know them has been one of the most rewarding parts of being secretary and any success we have achieved flows directly from their dedication and service. i have al

i was talking to a teacher who's been teaching science and high school in oakland california, a tough town, and she tries her best, and other good teachers, the school falling apart, no leadership, and kids who just csh -- there's a core of kids who want to learn, a core of kids who i can reach, and others are not going to be there. they make life miserable for everybody else. what can i do? i brought that question, you know, to somebody who i think is wiser than i am about education matter, and i said, unless you get the support built into that school, unless that school really becomes connected @ community, that teacher can't do it alone. you can't do it in isolation. let me talk generally about unions because one of the things that people are going to say to me is, oh, you know, this is -- this is a district in which the union, seems to me, the union worked closely, hand in glove to make things happen, and i know the one example, i tell you about it, when the kindergarten teachers complain to the union rep, what are the preschoolteachers saying they should be doing? that's wrong, g

mentioned and there's a whole other group that are coming up, pamela harris, the attorney general of california. may not have heard of her. kathleen cain, attorney general of pennsylvania, you will hear of them. particularly here in iowa. you will hear of these women, maybe ten years, maybe 15, maybe 20. there's a group that are coming up because we've worked so hard over 30 years, particularly with emily's list on the democratic side, to ensure that women run and have had success that we now have a great, great pipeline. and the one thing i'll also add for everybody who's here, we need to continue that pipeline. this is not about one woman and one presidential race. this is about changing our society and our culture. and i think we can do it. >> i don't think anybody has queued up yet. we can ask more quells. let's talk about the senator to the north, the female senator, who is coming to our state soon for a political event. jessica? what can you tell us about her? >> well, clearly she's qualified to do anything she wanted to do. she's got a lot of benefit being in a good proximity to our stat

today he visits troops and their families at the camp pendleton marine corps base in california. starting ata live 3:50 p.m. here on c-span. c-span, we bring public affairs events from washington directly to you, putting you in the room at congressional hearings, white house events, briefings, and conferences him and offering complete gavel-to- gavel coverage of the u.s. house all as a public service of private industry. c-span, created by the cable tv industry 34 years ago and funded by your local cable or satellite provider. now you can watch us in hd. >> former nsa and cia director michael hayden, cybersecurity threats will get worse before they get better. he was one of the speakers at an event looking at vulnerabilities in the: trees electric grid -- and the country's electric grid. this is 45 minutes. >> good morning. if everybody would take a seat. i want to welcome everyone. for those who don't know us, bp c was founded in 2007 by four senate majority leaders. we like to say we are bipartisan, not nonpartisan. we work with people who are strongly partisan of various parti

in california, we have a number of regions. you will walk through that, and then it will determine that you are in a household that earns below a certain threshold, where you would actually qualify for a subsidy. the website, if it is doing its job, will come back and say, "here are the plans that are available and here is what you're subsidy will look like." for people who are below 138% of the poverty level and qualify for the medicaid expansion, you would also be able to essentially have a handoff between the exchange website and your state medicaid program. >> sarah is a former health reporter for kqed in california. on those states where the federal government is implementing the exchange, are you hearing any stories of us back or lack of cooperation between those efforts and the state government -- of pushback or lack of cooperation? >> i'm not hearing that. there were concerns the federal government would need access to some of the state medicaid aid a basis -- medicaid databases, and it will be clumsy for a while. that

, there is a great guy, a commissioner of california. these are all candidates who will be speaking to racial and economic justice. >> all the candidates you mentioned were democratic candidates. caller: that is my party. correct. >> thanks for calling. susan is on our independent line. who do you like there out there as a future independent. caller: the only one who has been honest is rand paul. also, his father, ron paul. what a combination. only has been honest in the things that have been brought up and giving credit where credit is due and saying, if we want to change anything, we have to go to congress. they are the only ones i have heard for the last years that have been honest. so, that is just my opinion. >> senator rand paul is on your screen. critical today of president obama's decision to postpone the military exercise with egypt, making the announcement earlier. we will show you the president's comments later on in the headline. they write senator paul says the law is very clear. "mr. president, stop skirting the issue, foll

the latino gangs and drug gangs in the large cities, like the california in chicago, new york, miami, i am sure that all of those were not born here in the united states. sende second one, we can over $1 billion to the muslims, and they hate gays worse than russians? based on them. i hear nothing about that. those are my questions. what are we going to do about muslims? host: glad to have you with us this evening. jake is next in ontario. i would like to ask president obama why is he cutting spending on the military when he could be spending money anywhere. to be honest, why would you cut spending to the military about anything else? host: the president talked about that at camp pendleton yesterday and talked about the case for the -- for being bound by the sequester. the mandated cost. caller: but from previous speeches, he has said that he would do that. i haven't seen anything that would rectify that situation. host: are you in the military? caller: i'm planning on going to the coast guard. host: how old are you? caller: i am 17 years old. host: thank you for being with us. i would

people go to california for welfare. and so you're seeing, i think, the differing economic outcomes as a result of this. texas is the model that other states should be, should be emulating. a last point, if i may, just because this is on the top of my mind, if you -- i would urge all of you if you haven't had a chance to read our editorial this morning about immigration which i was lucky to get here last night, because i wuss working on this -- i was working on this until late at night. one of the points we made is that the united states of america has such an incredible opportunity that is so much larger than any other nation has because most of the people in the world who are talented and skilled and educated and ambitious, their first choice where they want to go to if they want to leave their home country is to come to the united states. they don't want to go to israel, they don't want to go to germany, france, japan, they want to come to the united states. and we have such an incredible opportunity to, if i can use

tom is from riverside, california. where do you go to school? caller: community college in riverside. one of the things i noticed, getting into classes and with tuition going up, every year here in california, it is too much. i am starting to hit that reality, should i continue and should i not? it is a high price to pay, especially with the sacrifice that i could be working or going to school. college is to make more money in the long run. with all the prices going up, it is too difficult to pick. >> what is your goal? what kind of degree? caller: i want to go into business administration. i am not sure i could even afford to transfer if i did. >> if you go full-time at the community college at riverside, what does that cost? caller: $50. a little over $50 per unit for credit hours. >> thank you for calling, i am checking a couple of tweets. here is one which says -- another one from jason, who says >> george is in greensburg, pa on our republican line. caller: i would like to say i think a college education is worthless. if you're good childre

thompson of california and mr. tiberi. to eliminate the limitation on the deductibles from the employer sponsored health plan. small employers aren't required to offer a health plan. they are good people and want to do something for their employers. >> if a small employer isn't required to do anything, whenever they do i don't see where the limitation would be. they don't have to do anything. the large employer is different. they have to provide affordable coverage which means the minimum -- >> the issue here is i don't believe those higher deductible plans meet the minimal coverage that had been put into place. >> but if you are a small employer you are not obligated to do anything. >> that's true but if it doesn't meet the requirements for coverage, then the individual i think goes to the exchange because it is too much out of pocket i believe that is the requirement so the employee loses the contribution of the employer. >> but he gets the tax credits? >> possibly. spaghettis making less than $94,000 a year. >> for a fa

there are nine sectors between california and texas. the border patrol assures me that if we put in that technology, which is appropriated in the bill -- it will not require additional taxpayer funds he does it is paid for by fees -- we will have 90% effective control over our border. there is a lot more i can tell you about it. i am really interested in your views. i hope that our congressional delegation, who i respect and -- we senators think we are snobs, and we are -- by the way, our four republican members they wereegation, there because of my health. could i ask for your consideration? i ask for your consideration because i think that a nation founded on judeo-christian principles should probably want to address this issue that we have before us. i'm not saying it is perfect. i'm not saying that it should not be changed as we continue to go through the process. what we would like to see is the house of representatives passed legislation, whether it be piecemeal or however they want to -- i'm not trying to tell them how they shoul

and mississippi has an interest in making sure that california has the best workers in the world. because we are one interconnected economy. it's very important, we talked about a little bit and we should talk more about how beneficial investing in early childhood education ends up, rippling throughout the economy for generations. it's a national issue. it's not as if the mississippi, is separate from alabama or tennessee or any others. that's where the federal has to come in to say we are all pieces of the puzzle. that's when th fe government, that's like the perfect role for the federal government. >> i'm wondering what you're hearing from akers at the state when you're going to talk to them about preschool and expanding early childhood? >> one of the things you hear, there's a lot of interest a bipartisan interest in it. one of the things i think the state level policymakers will notice some of them have stagnant in their belly to invest. one of the purposes of the ministrations plan, start to jumpstart that investment because been especially through the recession a lot of them

she had a very full life in california. host: you made the point that she was interested in so much. one of our viewers on facebook says, -- what do you think of her taste? guest: i'm not the best to ask about taste, but along those lines she was also an advocate for women's suffrage. she did not come out publicly, just let the issue of temperance. she thought it would make much more controversy than need be, but her daughter also said that her mother truly be -- believed in equality of the genders. you also see her when former president theodore roosevelt in 1912 is mounting a campaign against the incumbent president, she supports the roosevelt. she comes out at an appearance in los angeles. host: tawney in pleasantville, n.y. caller: one of the books i ever read was "destiny of the republic," and there were some money facts, but the three that are brought to my attention tonight where abraham lincoln's son tad's involvement in three presidential assassinations, not necessarily involved but being in the area. you showed an

we have seen extraordinary results in california, oregon, washington, and vermont. most significantly, in new york, rates will go down by an average of six percent. administrator, do you believe increased competition amongst in anyes is way responsible for the lower rates we are seeing in the states? you >> -- states? >> yes. in your testimony, you indicated americans had saved over $1 billion in health insurance premiums thanks to this provision. is that correct? >> yes. >> you discuss how the average premium increase for all rates what itwas 30% below was in 2010. is that correct? >> yes. you submit a brief comment on that answer? >> yes. the trend willve continue into the future? >> yes. >> could you give us a brief statement as to why that might be so? now that we are on the precipice of understanding the law to the extent and the affordable care act is the law of the land, we should all except this fact and work together to ensure implementation goes as smoothly as possible rather than moving for the law to fail. i know that is what the american people want of

the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. royce: i close my remarks by saying i rise in strong support of this resolution and i'd like to add my voice to others grateful for the sacrifices, so many american -- grateful for the sacrifices so many americans made to protect the freedom of south korea and again to acknowledge the four members of this house, congressman charlie rangel, john conyers, sam johnson, howard coble, the veten -- veterans of that war, to thank them for their service in the and to commend congressman rangel for offering this resolution here on the 60th anniversary of this special relationship that we have with south korea. we recall that 22 nations came together to defend the republic of korea and fighting stopped three years later with an armistice that still remains in place. 5.7 million americans served during that conflict and as noted, the casualties were 56,000, you count those missing and presumed dead. over 100,000 americans wounded in that war. 140,000 south koreans killed in action. and many of w

scott erickson, to my left, came all the way from california, where we just were a few months ago. he spent 15 years serving as a police officer in san jose working on the recognition and identification of terrorist organizations. he holds a masters of science degree in criminal justice studies from the university of cincinnati, and if that were not enough, scott has collaborated extensively with the heritage foundation, frequently contributing to their blog. scott is focused on issues of national security, including foreign terrorist organizations, law enforcement, and missile defense. he has co-authored several reports at heritage, including his latest, lessons from benghazi. and to my right, the speaker of the oklahoma state house, t.w. shannon. he is the first african-american to hold that position. i had the privilege of meeting him in my last trip to oklahoma. he has been on the road with me, helping the rnc raise money as well. that is a big plus for t.w. he is a registered member of the chickasaw make -- nation. as speaker, he has been a voice for limited government, person

there is a mayor in california. a republican, and a woman. >> we have been looking at quotes from lucy. let's show you a quote from the president about lucy. what was her approach like? some of the first ladies would sit in a congressional gallery. they would address specific members of congress. was she one of these first ladies? >> no, no one from the immediate family would have a paid position in the government, to try to keep her family members, mainly, from applying for jobs. at different times, lucy would write to her son, who was a confidential secretary to his father, saying, could you try to influence your father on appointment? lucy felt she was getting no place with rutherford. >> he was a president who appointed african-americans. could you tell us about that? >> he did appoint frederick douglass as the marshall of the city of washington, d.c. he was very aware it was symbolic. a gesture on his part. he also had african-americans appointed to a number of positions in the south, mainly. the hayeses were a

[applause] >> the gentle lady from california, maxine waters. give that up for maxine waters a true freedom fighter. the drum majors for the justice asseveration and the redeems the dream summit. i want to thank harry johnson, the president of the memorial foundation for collaborating with the urban league. harry johnson had a very important leadership role in the construction of the martin luther king monument which is a part of the pride of what the last 50 years have been about. at this point we are going to outline for you to answer the very important question of why we march now and what next. let me first set the stage by saying this last december approximately 60 leaders of the civil rights and social justice organizations have met two times in person and a number of times over the telephone to prepare an agenda. a policy priority document. convening those 60 meters to place and i was proud to be one of the four commanders of the meetings. the president of the association for the evidence of colored people, president and ceo benjamin todd

. >> caller: california. >> host: thank you, sir. >> caller: i guess i have three questions. number one, do you have any children? number two, do you treat your children or would you advise treating your children the way your father treated you? and, number three, does the, does the way your father treated you affect your relationship with people and the way that you approach political discussion? in other words, do you consider yourself -- [inaudible] of the people when they disagree with you? >> guest: well, thank you for that. um, i think the first question was how do i feel -- >> host: do you have children? >> guest: do i have children, thank you. no, i don't. and people have asked me whether or not my not having children had to do with way my father and my mother raised me, and i think probably so. i remember watching them when i was a kid in the kitchen watching them discuss something financial, and i remember saying to myself, this doesn't seem like a whole lot of fun. and i really thought that fathers were mean task masters, and i never wanted anybody to feel towards

host: paul from california, republican caller. caller: two points. one is i work a lot in prison industry and i've seen with my own eyes the disparity in the racial makeup of prison inmates and it's shocking when you actually see it. host: tell us about that. caller: i'm a white man and i walk in -- i work with juveniles in juvenile hall and men in jail and prison. i can tell you that the prison population demographics racially don't even come close to matching what you see as you are walking on the street somewhere. intellectly we understand the facts we hear about the disproportionate number of people of color in prison but when you enter a prison yard and see this, it's shocking. and it's no surprise to me that our minority communities are up in arms about this. they should be. it's striking. the second point is i'd like to understand what the corollary might be between the pay for play prison industry, the prison complex and the profit motive and the spike that we've had or the sharp increase we've had in our prison pop lapings. we seem to be on

. >> that caller was from california. i want to play you a comment or a former california representative. a former intelligence committee chair. she dashed here is what she had to say at the aspen forum. [video clip] in order to find those people here in the united states are outside -- i voted for a provision to authorize people under strict supervision to figure out the best way to do that. i'm not a trained intelligence analyst. when i voted for it, we voted on the initial proposals. >> the program that she voted for at the same program today? or has it changed? >> several groups were warning about possible abuses and different interpretations of these laws. so, i think it is hard to argue that this is not the program that congress intended. what we are seeing now is that it is certainly not the program that the public thought it was. many people are shocked. it indicates there was some mismatch between what americans thought was happening and what is actually happening. >> here is a tweet -- who is going to keep us sa

they anticipated setting on fire a good part of northern california and southern oregon. now, what happened there, lucky for us, was that it was the most unseasonably rainy september in 100 years. and so when they dropped incendiaries, they went off but they didn't have the effect the japanese intended. so we tended to just can't dismiss that. that was a crazy japanese plan but the truth of the matter was they got unlucky and we were tremendously lucky. >> one of the question.a show oa year or two ago. i think they mentioned that yamamoto was a proponent of this, and after he was killed early in the war, 1942 -- >> i think it was 43 actually. >> the development of these thugs really slowed -- these subs really slowed. it was so late they didn't have a chance to do much. >> right. you're talking about the documentary japanese super sub, which appeared on pbs. and i was actually the producer and a technical writer on that show. that was based on an article i had written. so yeah, when yamamoto was killed, he was like any other bureaucracy. yamamoto, first of all, as far as

that historically, this has been a problem that not only impact the african-american community, but in california was applied to asian-americans. it is an opportunity for us to appreciate what martin luther king says on each of the montgomery bus boycott. when he gives a speech to empower them and keep them excited about staying off the buses in those communities. during that speech says to them, because of the bus situation and montgomery, he says the situation is not at all new. the problem has existed over and this year. the negroes of montgomery and other areas have existed with the analysis of a crippling fear on buses in our community, on so many occasions they make raises the negroes have been humiliated and oppressed because they were just negro. i do not have time this evening to go into those situations. i will let you in on a little secret, he could have gone into those cases, because he knew them, but he did not have time. these are cartoons from the 1860's. they show african-americans in philadelphia being assaulted in the railway cars. there shows a black woman being assaulted for h

minnesota and iowa combined have more lakeshore with all of our lakes, particularly in minnesota, then california, florida, and hawaii's coastline. now it is truly great to be here today, especially as we honor secretary of state clinton with the beacon award. she truly embodies the principles and ideals of the party. we should hear it for joy. she did a wonderful job. talk to you about that. and she talked about the incredible work that hillary clinton has done promoting economic opportunity for all, making the country a safer place. and the incredible work, i can tell you, i've seen it already having someone who's come into the united states senate, the work she's done for women, in the senate, in the country, and all over the world. now, i want to thank your great party chair, scott, your county chair, john. all of the iowa party leaders. the one thing i'll leave here is butler county. two democrats since the civil war, that's going change, that's all i can say. i'm here for three reasons tonight. the first is to elect my good friend. he's one of the best candidates in the country running for

[applause] >> you know what? i'm not going to risk spilling that water. that would be my last talk here. okay, well, thank you, phil, for those warm remarks and thank you all for coming here today. there is a lot to go through in the report so we'll jump right into it. so as phil mentioned this is the product of the work of an interdisciplinary team. so this includes political scientists sociologists, those with experience in immigrant political participation, civic engagement and demography.

so we see -- i'm from california and we have the proper not see legislation in california that tries to deal with these types of issues. and how do you fred the legitimate rights for selling to take photographs of a public figure verses that public figures's privacy? it is super challenging. so what may end up happening as we start to think about this and develop legislation in the state where we will be able to experiment, we will find different ways of dealing with the issue, the use restrictions, commercial sales of persons and then we will start to get into the whole area of the tort law that was referenced before. this was a really challenging balancing act and if you have to think about writing the legislation on this, i teach legislation in the spring and this is going to be one of the topics i'm going to try to have my students work with. it's almost impossible to write legislation that will make everyone happy. >> interestingly that ties into what you said about individual state rights and maybe the concept of don't fix something that's not broken. in california we see that,

he is on top of a convertible and standing behind him as governor pat brown of california. it's during these fall election. i said to stanley, ways that particular photograph so important to you? he said, because i think it shows the charisma of a movie star and the appeal of the politician that has come together in a way that we haven't seen before. i said well, so what about eisenhower? he was a hero. he was a war hero. he said i covered ike but i never saw pictures like this when people are reaching out. stanley also said about president kennedy that he felt that kennedy didn't revel in the adulation. there was a certain remove. he would do anything to be elected to stanley said but he wasn't turned on by the grasping appeal of the crowds. this was taken at valley forge. can we go back one? i beg your pardon, this is in los angeles and he has to -- standing on top of a convertible. he is standing up and taking it down. he is not in the picture. this was president-elect kennedy's very first press conference in palm beach after the election. he had flung from his father's

the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from california seek recognition? ms. pelosi: i would like to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. pelosi: i thank the gentlemen for their kind words they said about congresswoman lindy boggs. i associate myself with their remarks and i say that bipartisanship is how she led in this body. discussions ated on the floor, she would call us back and say, darling, hale always said don't fight each fight as if it's your last. no wonder a room is name for her, a room that's shared a bipartisan enjoyment and participation, where we've come together as democrats and republicans to bring about solutions. mr. -- it was referenced that we had a bipartisan tribute to her on her birthday, march 13, and i think you would find some joy in the fact that as a devout catholic, that was her birthday, that was when we plan to have had the tribute, that was the day white smoke went up in the chimney and rome so for r birthday we could also celebrate a new pope, pope francis, and what bett

now, the supreme court has made california, california has 181,000 people locked up, and the only have 80,000 prison beds. california is choosing to do is to try to stop the courts so they can build more prisons so they don't let them out, which is to feed the prison and thus a complex but in the meantime they've released just this year 14,000 prisoners. and you know what the biggest problem is? there are some communities that know that these prisoners are being released and won't let them come into their communities. so guess who's communities that are coming into? right. and then with these convictions they can't get work because particularly most of the government jobs, most of the local city and county jobs require you to disclose a conviction. and so you see a perpetual unemployment that is not reflected in the numbers that causes a recidivism that causes them to go back. and until we arrested some of that, yeah, there's going to be a problem. i agree with brother thomas. there are so many of them who have been locked up or don't deserve to be locked up, but now because they have

it is compelling, a morality play told over generations, set in this place but also in paris, in california, and with themes that are universal to all of us. >> i appreciate, i didn't say this backstage but i've learned so much in the program and a great admirer of yours, and your terrific at what you do. when they told me you would be doing this interview, i was really floored. it's been a real privilege. >> thank you.

being here today, and special thanks to mohamed el-erian and professor tiefer flying all the way from california. mohamed, i want to pick off again with you because you can go -- your outlook for the economy has been dead on. how much longer is this economy going to remain growing an average of 2% per year? >> let me take you back to 2009 when the new normal concept them out, and the idea was to find a signal that they would not be your traditional cyclical recovery. that and less mindsets in washington changed and unless there was a better understanding of the underlying dynamics, we risk getting stuck in a period of unusually sluggish growth, persistently high unemployment, and that's what has materialized. so why? so go back to the concept, and i love, the economy is stuck in second gear. let me push this analogy a little bit. it's not just stuck in second gear. is being driven on a pretty foggy road. there's some good news. we are doing better than others. so europe was in reverse and just went to neutral. japan was in neutral for a long time and it is just gotten into first year. so we are

. >> mary is up next in santa rosa, california. >> hi, thanks for taking my call. i am interested in finding out what the relationship between abigail and thomas jefferson was. did abigail and thomas jefferson correspond during john and thomas' year of not really speaking to each other? i've also heard that abigail had an intimate relationship with him as far as correspondence went. i am wondering how true that is. >> they were very good friends at one time. the highest point of the relationship was when abigail was for a while in france and then in england, and thomas jefferson was a diplomat abroad at that time. they were very close, very close. as a matter of fact, for a while, while jefferson was in paris and she was in london, they bought goods for one another and kept little accounts for one another. at one point, one of -- jefferson's younger daughter came from virginia to france but stopped in london on the way, and abigail took care of her during that time. during the national period, particularly after the election of 1800, the relationship really fell ap

they loved herbert hoover in california. the outsider was on his way to becoming an insider, and yet he refused to play by the rules. he refused to become part of the roosevelt team. he refused to unabashedly say whatever you and your brain trusts want to do, i'll back it, i'm with it. and yet he was so important to roosevelt as a banker and as an irish catholic, and as an incredibly smart man, that roosevelt appointed him the first chairman of the securities and exchange cmme time rooseves colleagues, the new dealers, were horrified. you know, why are you putting a fox in control of the chickens? and joseph kennedy was the greatest chairman of the sec we have ever seen. he knew every trick of the trade, and he passed so many regulations, such tough regulation, that when he was finished he had to get out of the market. because every device used to make his millions he had outlawed last night and from the moment he left the sec he began investing in real estate, like the merchandise mart in chicago, the largest building outsi
