i'm sure new ones will come. one thing i hope this is not so far off topic but if you'll forgive me, the constitutional bill of rights are not everything. they are like i said the basic foundational protections that people have a way of congress and you have state legislatures and many levels of government which will pass more protections. they can go beyond what the constitution requires and people should ours remember that that's part of our constitutional structure as well. sometimes when they go beyond one direction it raises problems in the other. to the extent people have concerns about how their college is being run of course the constitution and the bill of rights may draw only from the most basic foundational set of lines. students have voices, parents pay tuition and have voices and taxpayers have voices so it's a larger conversation. >> obviously we can't comment on any particular dispute but i will say this. the freedom of speech is discomforting. the idea behind freedom of speech is that each person

it is a form for discussion, a place to learn new things, and an opportunity for people to knowct and get to individuals you would never have another opportunity to meet. -- we cannot ignore what this year has been. what history will remember 2016 as is uncertain, but there were incredible lows and incredible highs. i hope that we can acknowledge some of the hard parts, acknowledge some of the divisive, raw things that happened. but also remember there were amazing, richmond spirit we had the first woman be now to run for an amazing party and that is something we should all be proud of. [applause] the first woman successfully run a presidential campaign. those are two major strides. we cannot let go of that energy, that momentum and that success. i hope we look at this conversation and this program in the context. i hope today we can stop and reflect and we can act and think about how together, is a room as -- room of powerful and amazing women, we can have impact. one of the most important parts of this entire series is the ability to connect and the ability to meet new people. one w

there is a county in new york. so, i have to note that, in that county, the town of hamilton is located there. in 1789, james madison introduced legislation and called for nine amendments to the constitution. congress organize these and submitted 12 amendments. 10 of theseter, became part of the supreme law of the land and these constitutional amendments eventually became known as the american bill of rights. madison was not originally in favor of the will of rights. he was anxious about a call for a second convention to include a bill of rights. it was mulligan-like. there were difficulties that had to get -- begotten over to produce a constitution that all the states would sign and madison feared that a second convention would fail and fail abysmally. madison hoped that there would be a tactical effect of narrowing the scope of the central rights. the u.s. constitution was one of the powers, with all powers being reserved to the people or states, if not delegated to the federal government. enumerateke sense to --

york city to new arc. but any would be able to buy and sell among themselves without the permission or oversight of tribal or federal officials. this would allow for the true free market. first nation members who want to lease their land for development of national resources would be able to do so without seeking permission from the national government and would want to sell their property and be able to select the highest bidder to take that money and put it to use for themselves and their families. finally, those who want to keep their land would be able to borrow against it to build a home or start a business. as one from north carolina told me, quote, the only solution i see is to divide everything up and give it to the native american family. let them disperse it, spend it, keep it, whatever. i don't need no government taking care of me. this kind of freedom, that's why the pilgrims left europe. thank you very much.

and the good news is that this isn't just a tom price effort. this effort grew from frustration, literally on both sides of the aisle, about the budget process. there isn't anybody that's happy with what's been happening from an appropriations and budget process in congress over the past couple of decades. and so the work product that we've produced today is from our committee staff and input from members and folks in the think tank community and ideas that we had. but we're not wedded to just that. and that's the good news because what we want is the input from everybody. i believe that there will be somebody, if i'm given the privilege of moving to a different position, that there will be somebody or bodies that will pick up the mantel. this is so important. so incredibly important. the house republican conference has embraced the idea of budget process reform. and so i have all the confidence in the world that what will happen moving forward is that hopefully this will begin that serious discussion so that within the next two years, we'll be

and new guys. >> if you need to clean that up it's friendly new guys. >> that was what i was. this life and fear and the warriors of the jungle and could walk you into an ambush. and kill him and everybody else around him. he walked past a bunker and again it really was a threat. and until that proved himself under fire, he was treated and only wanted to really get it and also most, if they were going to get killed it was in the first two, 2.5 months. the bad thing about the war was just about the time they knew what they were doing, they became jungle wise. they would rotate it so in vietnam there was a revolving door with no great reservoir of experience. there was a gentleman and didn't fight a ten year war in vietnam. won ten times and i think there's merit to that statement. i was not treated with open arms when i reached my platoon. no one really talked to me. the only one who icon versed with, he had talked to me because after my first fire fight, after i first, things started to get better and there's an old saying that, all the other military institutions could see. y

. >> and that is why we began the process, first with an op ed piece in "the new york times", then with statements on cbs's "60 minutes" and then with the petition campaign and have gathered tens of thousands of signatures and the reason we're doing it now is because obama leaves office next month and this is the time when presidents issue statements. and i want to make sure that we don't replicate an error. we're not asking for a pardon. this is not something that goes to the justice department. ethel rosenberg was not guilty and therefore she doesn't need a pardon. what we're asking for is a presidential statement that in effect nullifies the guilty verdict and states that her execution was wrong untilful. -- wrongful. >> [ inaudible ]. >> given one of the principle architects was cohen who president-elect trump has said was his mentor, the chances of trump doing anything that would cost -- would put his mentor in a bad light strikes me as nil and, therefore, this is the time to do it. if we don't get obama to do it, we are virtually certain that trump will not. that's another reason

york times" and has written this book, "the new czar: the rise and reign of vladimir putin." mr. myers, why to you call him a czar? >> guest: that's an excellent question.ll it stemmed, i think, really from the kind of leader he's become. a good friend of mine once described him as a czar of democracy, which i thought was a nice irony because, you know, he does preside over what is officially a democratic system,y you know, a constitution that's very democratic. , a constitution that's very democrat, but in reality his style of leadership more and more has become autocratic and he is reaching, i think not just to the soviet past, but the russian imperial path as well and even some of his aides started calling him czar, leader at some point during his presidency fairly early on, so i think it captures the kind of leader he has become in at almost total control he has over the future of his country. >> that's what i wanted to ask next is does he have total control over the political reins of power? >> political reins, absolutely. the system he has created is very much dependent

we are hopeful we can continue the efforts we have begun and, with a new administration, new department of justice, we can continue moving forward in this area. it's an area where it is more than bipartisanship, it's to the common benefit for every citizen in every city, county, state. there's a federal importance to this whole question of policing strategies and what should be done about it. i'm impressed with the fact that we still have a number of things that must be done. years ago, i had a bill, the patterns and practices act. it became to be a useful way for the federal government to intervene in what would normally be considered a local matter. where there are certain activities or even, sometimes, particular law enforcement individuals or activists who are anti-law enforcement, who would be warranted to be visited by federal intervention. it has been used selectively. i have not found it to be criticized overly. it makes for the discussions and the context and the interchanges necessary to build up this level of trust that is so important in terms of how we proceed in building u
