i'm so grateful for that. >> thank you, trina.that's why, in october, i joined state treasurer zach conine and the governor's office of economic development to launch a small business assistance program that has been providing up to $10,000 in emergency grant funding to businesses like trina's. this funding has helped small businesses keep their doors open and their employees paid through these difficult times. the response has been overwhelming, and so far, we've provided $50 million to small businesses across nevada. but we need to do more. that's why tonight i am announcing an additional $50 million in my budget for this program which is vital for small businesses. i'm asking the legislature, as one of their first items of business, to get this done. additionally, our own lieutenant governor kate marshall will be working to create a small business advocacy center, to be a one-stop location to help small businesses take advantage of the resources that exist and help them cut through the red tape. as i said before, it's not enoug

it rests in the social context in which many people -- it lies at the heart of trina disparities. there is an explanation where we have a poorly distributed health care system. these are for the most needy individuals. a mechanism suggests that an approach for these high-risk areas will be the best way to improve care and out come for patients. thank you again for inviting me. i look forward to your questions. >> ok, i would like to thank all of the participants. this has been a fantastique presentation. at this point, i would like to open up the floor for questions. do not jump in on it once, folks. commissioner? >> i think you all for being here today and for testifying, but i just wanted to ask questions. as far as data collection, i know that for the native american population, one of the issues we of always had, and there are tremendous problems with the statistics, especially in 1998 and 2000 as far as, you know, moi the population of native americans, what it was in the census -- you know, with a population non-americans. -- with the population of native americans. >> one o

trina in minnesota. hi, trina. >> caller: hi. >> what is your question for robin?r and prettier and i hit my 40s. my question is, i go out and i see all these happy-looking, pretty people just having this great life. i kind of hit that mid-life blah. what i'm wondering is, how do you convince yourself that you're still a viable, pretty good-looking person compared to, you know, according to my husband, everything, how do you convince yourself when you get home, in the mirror, that you're really not as bad as you feel on the inside? >> well, hopefully your confidence isn't based on your outside appearance because you are so much more than that. you know, i always tell people that your outside is going to change. you know, your -- if you feel like -- your looks are going to go at one point. the muscles are going to sag for the guys. the chiselled jaw line. but what is really you stays constant. the you that you were when you were born. >> that's easy for you to say, meade, you're beautiful. what about the rest of us? yeah, you toss that one off. you know, but bottom

and, you know, they filled the streets of mid town manhattan and trina and juan carlos were on a little bridge next to grand central. as the police moved in on juan carlos and trina, the reporters, a commanding officer said, no, they have the right to film. the problem was, the officer left. then they moved in on them and they pushed juan carlos' face into the dirt. they confiscated their equipment. and they were arrested. so as i'm walking up on the stage at kpfk in los angeles i got a text, they've been arrested. oh, my god. what where he going to do? i text juan carlos. go to the source. are you ok? yes. are you arrested? yes. you didn't even have any misspellings. i said, are you in a police van? yes. are you handcuffed? yes. are your hands handcuffed behind your back? yes. so how are you writing? yes. so everyone sprung into action. i called juan gonzalez, co-host on "democracy now!" he called the police, i called the police. we don't spend much time calling the police but on this day it was critical since they were in their custody. we raced down to police plaza and after hours th

host: lets talk to trina in indianapolis, indiana. good morning, trina. caller: good morning. i grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood and i never knew anything about black history until we moved into a proper domin -- into a predominantly black neighborhood and that is when i learned about it and it frightened me. host: and how is that related to book banning? you feel there were not enough books when you were growing up about the history of ever americans in the u.s.? caller: exactly. there were not enough books and -- remember the -- we had sex talks in school where you learn about the birds in the bees with your gym teacher and it was real sure and you had to take the notes home -- real short and you had to take the notes home, the boys with the male teacher and the girls with the female teacher? how does that fit in with your gender? host: so -- so your point being that there should be more books about gender identity accessible to kids. caller: gender identity. so you should have your gender identity and, as far as your, you know, your history books, as far as you

it is nothing like trina. guest: that is the question a lot of people are asking. the political leadership is going full speed trying to raise the word. lining, is any silver the american public is coming to realize puerto ricans are american citizens. we need to do more for our fellow americans down there. the response has been slow. that is the question people are asking, what is going on? host: quick question from this puerto rico send revenues to the u.s.? yes, puerto rico is part of the safety net system. we pay social security. we pay medicare. we have veterans services because we have a large number of puerto ricans serving. rico is a state of the united states, yet it is an autonomous region. the tension between puerto rico and united states, in times like how, it calls into question do we move forward with a better that serves both parties in a better capacity? the debate is statehood versus autonomy, and it has not been resolved yet. it will have to be addressed. in the last two or three years, we keep an i on what is happening in puerto rico. an eye on w

standoff with that country continues and will be here to talk about lessons he learned during hurricane trina and his for areastions devastated by hurricane harvey. thank you so much for making washington journal a part of your saturday. we will see you back here tomorrow. tonight on c-span a elena kagan and conversation with margaret chief justiceed the massachusetts supreme court. she talks about finding consensus on the court after antonin scalia death. the chief justices said from the very beginning of his tenure that he cares a lot about achieving as why the consensus as we can. we do that much more often than people give us credit for. about half of our pieces are decided unanimously, another significant set are decided with only one or two dissenting votes. still, we managed to find consensus and places during these last two years that we might not have expected to find. because of some great leadership skills of the chief justice. i hope we remember that, and i hope we continue to go the extra waysto see if we can find to build bridges across differences and develop more consensus tha

urgedator chuck grassley the president not to repeat the mistakes of the past, trina specifically. how much of that is in the back of your mind as you prepare for landfall of harvey? also, in hurricanes past, typically, the events of the , then yougoes through look at the aftermath to pick up the pieces. is going, though, this to be a multi-day event in terms of getting to people who need aid immediately while you still have buckets of rain coming down ? >> a number of good questions there. i was in and through during hurricane katrina. is not just what is on my mind, it is on the minds of all the emergency managers in our community, especially in texas and louisiana. that experience is still in their memory, their experience, their muscle memory, and we have gotten a lot better as a government. congress has gotten better. we need to employ, not just deploy assets and resources and events. they will employ those resources carefully as the state requests and grant that declaration, which i suspect we might. lastly, to your point about how difficult it is to get assistance to people,

host: trina is next in indianapolis, democratic line. caller: where i have a problem is none of the businesses have stopped -- people are still out shopping and taking trips and everything. if you go out, the stores are still full, the trucks are still going. amazon trucks are everywhere, pulling up to people's homes. fedex truck's are rolling and people are shopping, taking trips. the airports are full. when you see all of the planes, people are full in the airports. that's why people are complaining when flights are getting stalled, they are spending money. we understand that prices are higher, but the large corporations, they are making huge profits. so i agree with the president. bidenomics is truly working. i do not understand what the problem is. people are making higher incomes , it is working. things are from the middle working out, just like the president is saying. i agree the democrats are doing their work, it is hard of congress is not working together. those constituents higher congress to do their jobs and they are not doin

we dealt with this in new orleans after the trina. -- katrina. we knew some of the neighborhoods and schools would come back that nobody was sure. i think we are seeing people spending money more flexible but you do have to have the money to spend. important because people have to be able to talk about climate change if you're going to spend the money differently. do you have a question? ok. think of this like a lightning round. let's go down the line. -- what dor biggest people not get about your work that annoys you that you wish would -- people would get. let it out. >> that's a tough one. i'm a landscape architect. ishink we do a lot of what seen as as green infrastructure is considered to be soft and essentially something that comes with a --. there is a tremendous amount of engineering that goes underneath that. ofre is a tremendous amount what is soft is not actually soft. i think that's a perception that i would love to change. i don't expect people to know because ifnderneath you have done a good job it was just -- it would just look bea

we have trina bell. with this particular question, i would like to chat about crowd sizes. we have a lot of small towns across america that are all expecting 100,000 people or so. it is my understanding that crowd sizes have been estimated for similar ones in the past. what is the more realistic number or is it realistic for each small town? can we all the expecting 100,000 people? >> from the highway administration point of view, safety teams are working with communities. sees easier when we communities that say we have a long festival and we want to make it a long weekend. is ifk the big question it is a limited number of people, they need to be able to know and predict where they put their best station. about how information to put together planned special event. what are some good practices and checklists. one of my colleagues just retired. she is an expert and she is here in the audience. she helped put together the information. that would be one source that communities for free can go to the highway administration website and look up information about planned special

host: trina telling us about her experience. in west virginia, this is curtis, who says the situation is worse for him. good morning. caller: good morning. my situation is much worse off. i spent the last five years caring for my grandmother who had alzheimer's. livingely unemployed, off of her pension that she had. before thehree weeks whole thing had hit, she got to the purse where she had to be put into a nursing home. and i set i will go back to the workforce. after about a week and a half of dealing with getting her stabilized and comfortable in a care facility, everything geared up in terms of this pandemic and now i'm basically living on food stamps. up, a month, bills piling and no option to get a job. my situation is basically living off of the food i can grow. so my situation has no potential moving towards the positives until it's completely over. host: aside from caring for your grandmother, what work had you held before? caller: before that i worked in museums and art galleries. illinois,ally from when i was of work

trina is up first. start with the chances for the democrats to keep the senate.hat is a chance to retain the majority? >> i am very confident that we will keep the majority. i think that we have a strong path. i know that the pundits are saying that this is a lot of red states. this is arguably the most favorable environment that either party has had since 1980. but we have a strong

trina but alsohe harvey now. -- katrina, but also harvey now. friends and fellow americans overstated. the electrical grid knocked out now. we have to find ways to put together with the disaster relief fund, ways of getting money. i am concerned about the future of places like miami and new york city if we do not find ways of a civil defense movement to protect ourselves from rising seas and hurricanes. morning. we love our veterans. i have a quick comment and one question. i do not blame our beautiful first lady for not being out there more than she is. they were going to help the hurricane victims and all they could talk about where the shoes -- were the shoes. behind tell me the logic what keith said impairing the legal immigrant to the jewish people? are we gathering them up and gassing them? his mainstream media not telling that -- as that worries that completely uncalled for? i was very careful personally to say that i think she is doing fine. i do not think every first lady has to become an activist. i think it would be smart if she becam

we are coming up on the 12th anniversary of the trina. we also have north carolina founded by slaves. we just had a 100 year flood. in south carolina, the same thing. why is this movie so important at this moment in time. al gore: well, i want to join you in thanking and acknowledging all the speakers who came before. dolores and tom starr, who gave such a wonderful address and pamela and others, and i want to entire the netroots nation team for doing a wonderful job, and thanks to all of you. [applause] al gore: so the work that you've done for so many years actually embodies one way to answer the question you've just asked. because environmental justice and climate justice is a cause that connects what we're doing to the environment and to the climate, and the prejudice and the insults to people, people in communities of color, people in communities of low income, why? because they have less means to defend themselves when people want to locate a new hazardous waste site of looking at the downwind for some terrible polluting facility. t

probably because of post trina -- post-katrina.n and said that having been in the classroom i have ideas of how it can be better for the class and better for the students. now there are several dozen startups focused on educational technology in new orleans. in st. louis and louisville we saw a lot of things focused on farming technology. cleveland, baltimore, a lot of things focused on health tech because of the strength of cleveland clinic and johns hopkins. the diversity of these ideas is what is so moving and powerful and it gives us a sense of hope. we just need to get more of those entrepreneurs that get more spotlight on what they're doing and more of the capital that they are doing. one of the things we emphasize is what makes some of these businesses really successful is the ability to partner with a legacy that exists in the cities. in columbus we invested in a company that is doing block chain for insurance. massive jpmorgan facility in columbus, ohio. you are taking a young much per entrepreneur working with an exciting

trina? >> caller: all right. so i'm actually writing with the washington post and other publicatio publications. with this particular question i would like to chat really quick about crowd sizes. we have an awful lot of small towns across america that are all expecting 100,000 people or so. so it's my understanding that crowd sizes have been estimated off of if numbers of eclipse chasers and tourists for similar eclipses in the past. is it realistic for each small town that's one county over from the other small town iing 100,0? >> from the federal highway administration's point of view, the state d.o.t.s are working with the communities, especially, you know, it's easier when we see communities saying we want to have a festival, we want to make it a long weekend. it's easy fier for the state d.o.t.s to be planning with them. the big question is there's not an unlimited number of people working at the state d.o.t. they need to know and predict where they need to put their people best stationed. for information on

i really feel like i am going through ptsd because what i see in puerto rico is so the same as the trina- katrina. i wondered what country i lived in during katrina and now i wonder what country i live in. these are american citizens. these are not immigrants. these are not foreigners. do you understand me? host: hank from south carolina, independent. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. i think puerto rico should have been more prepared. they are in a hurricane zone. i have read several articles where the power company had been broke -- had been bankrupt for three years or four years. poles.d no spare power no spare transformers. yet, they want all that stuff to come down there within a week or backup.et their grid it will not happen. i got something else to say. i feel for them people down in puerto rico. ago,ember, 20, 25 years when they had the protests about task was islands --vasquez island. it had been a navy base, and other things, within san juan. protesting because of the training base on the island. everybody was protesting. jackson -- alesse sharpton, jesse jac

most of the voters in louisiana and elsewhere did not think the government did a heck of a job in a trina. virtually bush was lucky that happened in 2000 five as opposed to 2004 because that would have been a big issue in his reelection year, had it happened then. >> explain the politics here if it had happened before. what was he facing? >> he did win election over john and began his second term trying to reform social security. we were still having problems in iraq, so his political position was already undercut when katrina happened. that was a case where, when the storm first hit, people felt like president bush was inattentive. he was coming back from a campaign type trip for the west coast and flew over the damaged site and there was a picture of him looking down over the window and that did not serve him well politically, so anyway katrina ended his political influence. whatever political power he had was finished off with the response to katrina. it was not the storm so much but the flooding after the storm that was the problem. the government had a serious case of the slows and g

trina is up first. start with the chances for the democrats to keep the senate. what is a chance to retain the majority? >> i am very confident that we will keep the majority. i think that we have a strong path. i know that the pundits are saying that this is a lot of red states. this is arguably the most favorable environment that either party has had since 1980. .ut we have a strong path we have three states that will be a little tough for us, that is west virginia, montana, and south dakota. i'm sure we will talk about south dakota. but we have strong incumbents in the red states. we have two more tossups, iowa and colorado. our candidates are running very strong but they are very tough. if you talk to anybody on both sides of the aisle, as he races -- tighter and tighter, the maps become narrower. what gives you the confidence -- if you look at all the , all sayaround town that the republicans are favored. you're going to have to run the table in places like north carolina, iowa, colorado. where is your confidence coming from? >> out of those six races, they

trina, was where the federal government fell and maria, we left behind 3.5 million americans and we need to make sure we learned the lessons so this will never happen again. [applause] i have to wonder if the government is learning them, the lessons. fundings like you are all of the work in the carolinas through world central kitchen but you are not working with fema. you have not had any conversations with fema since puerto rico. wondering how much is the government learning about what happened in puerto rico or does not care to learn. chef andres: they care. world central kitchen is a 501(c)(3). i'm not funding anything. you are funding everything. thank you. i mean it. we are supported by different people who put one dollar or $1 million. i want to be clear. for thehe most respect people in the federal government, for the people in fema. you'll see in this book, the stories we tell, many of the things that happened were thanks to people of the federal government. sometimes, things happen from the top, things happen at the bottom. department of homeland security, are in thenow they new

given your deep experience, dating back to the trina, if it -- if you would give us an idea of the particularhallenges presented to you by each of these hurricanes. even with an eight-year break in government service, i have been in some management role since 2003. it did make me an equally competent, i'm not sure about qualified, to sit and manage this process. i could not the any happier with the federal government response. it was an unprecedented hurricane season. we have a long road to go. with puerto rico. i do not want to do a victory lap. the fact that we have done it backto -- back to back to -- i could not be any prouder. there is a bigger observational answer. the nsc structure has always been staff organized around regions. even when you and i've look at the history -- even when you and i look at the history of it, we look at regional problems. the regional governments present as the biggest national security threat. realized that we needed a functional organizational model. the homeland security counsel concept and it up with a aunterterrorism director and cyber security director

one of the things we can do, it does not matter if you are looking at hurricane sandy, for trina, some of the blackouts we have had, when you look at the billions of dollars involved in the losses and the cost to systems and to customers, it is easy to see why we need to go down this road. this, the oneith thing we cannot lose sight of in this, because i can tell you from my experience in this industry as a state commissioner, federal commissioner, practicing law yer, i can tell you that cost matters. if we can solve our problems through software that might be less expensive than hardware, we should look that way. but we do have to have a focus on cost. that is one of the parameters that we need to look at. we need to understand as we go forward that we do it correctly, we mitigate the risks, and we understand the cost to consumers. there must be a balance. that, i will not read through everyone's bios. you have them in the packet, but those of you who knows chris peters, he is the vice president of critical infrastructure. ed gets his vice president of information security with exxon.

host: trina in indiana. go ahead. you are on. caller: good morning.are big advocates of homeschooling. we homeschooled both of our children back in the 1990's. my grandchildren will be homeschooled to start out at least. i'm not anti-public school. i think for some children, you know, especially at a young age it is better to try to teach them at home. it forces parents to be involved with their children. i think it is just better in some ways. like i said, i am all in favor of funding the public-school system. if you choose to homeschool or private school, there is a cost to that and parents need to consider that. i'm not against all the money being removed from the public-school system to give to parents who want to privatize their children's education. if you choose the private school, you should consider the expense that goes along with that, just as homeschooling. we have to consider the costs. the time involvement if you have a homeschool. that is my thought. host: what was the driving force to keep your kids home? what was the one thing that pu
