[no audio] announcer: this afternoon, a look at the 2020 election results. partical strategists take in a discussion hosted by new york university live at 1238 eastern here on c-span, online at c-span. org, or our free radio app. use your mobile devices, laptop or phone to follow election results at c-span.org/election. interactive maps for the electoral college map estate by state. balance of power in congress, latest video on demand. go to c-span.org/election. there are four senate races that remain undecided. two are in georgia, which are both heading to a january runoff. republican senator david produced will face jon ossoff because neither candidate received 50% of the vote. -- other runoff is between and raphael warnock. kelly loeffler was appointed to that seat after johnny isakson retired.

don't youke it -- want to make it easier? sen. warren: i want to talk about why i am in this race, to i amabout my plans and how building a grassroots movement to get it done. that is what voters want to hear. what is it that you want to do as president of the rest? i am trying to do -- try to make that clear every day. you are asked about guns earlier. some are talking about a buyback program. i think it is not the most effective way in terms of pure is one thing that we need to do. we need to treat this as the public health emergency that it is. it will take a lot of changes to bring down deaths from gun violence. .eaths from mass shootings deaths from the mystic violence, from suicide. we need to bring down deaths from gun violence. white house came out with news about expediting the death involved inthose mass shootings. sen. warren: i do not have a comment for that. look, that is part of what legislation is all about. deaths to bring down from gun violence. ,s i said in the larger crowd this is what it was a 1965, too many de

that youking at all have an understanding that not all of it came from you. a lot of it came from your parents or a great teacher or the freedom and prosperity of the country in which we live. gratitude means that you take responsibility to share those things that have benefited .ou with others and give back it is recognizing those things that make life good and meaningful and cherishing them and using them to make life better for others. gratitude does not mean overlooking the very real disadvantage this that many suffer. it is not closing your eyes to the bad in the world. it is, instead, opening your eyes to the good in the world. my husband, michael, is a good example of gratitude properly understood. michael was adopted. he and his brothers and sisters spent their early years in foster care. not an easy time. but when michael was four, he was adopted by a wonderful couple. his adoptive parents were warm and loving. they gave michael a home. they raised their son with care, love, a good education, and a stable family life, and the thing is, today, michael

. -- have youke of guys responded? >> what do you mean reach out? >> any type of legal action? anything? cease and desist? monsanto sent a cease request before we published the database. we received a public database in the public interest. they have recently announced that they plan to sue icij but we haven't yet received any form of letter or information that has been filed. >> we also received a number of threatens for suits from lawyers from people that we have been -- so theng -- that property, do not publish this. we have not heard from any of them since publishing. we have heard from one person who is under indictment and threatened to sue us for reporting with the federal government already has in an indictment so we are numbered about that one. >> the importance of whistleblowers. obviously, as journalists, we always know and learn that you cannot ask somebody to distill data for you but it is vitally important it seems to have this kind of data reach journalists so that they can pursue stories like this, right? protections for whistleblowers in this administration see

what youk you about just said. the china trade deal. that what is being negotiated now to move beyond what was already agreed to by the chinese in the spring. i know you do not want to get into too much detail, but can you give us a little bit more on those parameters and understanding about what additional headway has been made on some of the tougher issues? to openow: i don't want up the details of the negotiation. it is very hard to do that. that, it looks to me like some of these key chapters i mentioned, i.t. theft , currency stability, financial , opening upansion agriculture, not just purchasing of commodities but actually reducing nontariff barriers on agriculture. as well as actually spending. because these things are not resolved, i cannot be too specific. >> we heard about those in the paper already. those are not the real big issues like state subsidies and tech transfer. mr. kudlow: this was always planned. done is phase two. it is important to look at this in phases rather than one large discussion. >> please tell us who y

instead of paying as much is 400 bucks a month for seniors with diabetes, youks a month. know why we did that, everybody knows somebody who needs insulin or diabetes. you know how much it cost to make that, $10,and the guy who t didn't have a patent because he wanted to make sure everybody had access. if you add everything including the cost of packaging it, is 13 bucks. you're still making three times more than they would've. they're not getting cheated. they will pay what other people pay around the world. now with the leadership in partnership and the entire delegation, i want to the cost of insulin at 35 bucks for every american. every american. [applause] pres. biden: when i first got a pass that included all americans and we got it reauthoriz. the otr team wouldn't do it. it's only for seniors. for years people talked about this but we finally got it done and gave medicare t pow t negotiate lower drug prescription costs. just like the v.a. has been able to do for veterans for a long time. it's not just saving seniors ■ayer money. it's cutting the federal deficit. cu

did youk you would go through a period of banning books in america? 4k to erase black history.history because as americans we make history and not erase it. the values of diversity, equality, and inclusion our core strengths of america. host: talking about cultural this is also from the pew research poll that says most trump voters favor aatio effort- drivenge republican and republican leading voters. nearly two thirds of trump support awhich is■ national effort to deport all of those in the countrycompared ton supporters. ■>raymond in denver, colorado, good morning. caller: good morning. my name is raymond and iould like to say good morning to america. what is goingwe have to look de. fear has been around for a very long■in030 mo longer going to be the majority. what is going to happen is white privilege in this country is a subconscious. if you look at history and the europeans that have changed history, all of these things like jesus being white, king james being white, they were moors. of eastern europeans changing history. the reason for that is fear. subconscious theme. h

only fitting that he replace the most be loved senator we have i continue ueously encourage and push youk people to get involved. we have a generation that will hopefully have the opportunity to lead west virginia in the future. i want to thank each of you today for being here. thank all of them and you who helped through this process. thank e who has been so patient. we wanted to do it right for one purpose, one reason only. rob pert c. the senate has finished the business and has the bill for us. we will have a proper way of how we hold an election. let me introduce cart goodwin. >> thank you. >> thank you. it is an ee mention more to my responsibility becomes now to work hard everyday and maintain the trust of the people of west virginia. i have a deep abiding passion for this state and her people. in the days and weeks and months a led. i will have no agenda other than to work and fight hard everyday. robert byrd was perhaps the greatest serve ant in our carnte. what i can and will do is try my best to emulate a wall, this great space and the constitution. through all my experience se

given that authority in the first place, but to have people there are leaking information, each of youking to to try to have their public policy implemented because you to argue on their behalf and we know it's happened, these people should be fired. they should be out of government, they're disloyal to our government and i hope that what's going to happen. thing.aham: one last general nicholson is not going to be able to win in afghanistan construct.urrent the rules of engagement have to change. it doesn't matter what general is in charge if you don't have to win so i just hear thatupset to this is general nicholson's problem when it really is a structure problem and attitude problem and as bob said, no white house can function this way. we need order out of chaos and some people would be the right signals. [inaudible question] sen. corker: i haven't seen the transcripts. so you guys are sharing with me constantly things i don't know. [laughter] will respond to that question once i actually read the transcripts. say this caveat. last time i was in afghanistan, know if you realize this thi

how do youk about change internally or do you help outside organizations change? in and there were experiences that women on the panel have here. some things had been neglected for a long time we were not necessarily seeing relevant with the media landscapes that were changing or the diversity of the youth generation. we were not being authentic and the voice and serving audiences. one of the things we had to do is take a look at how we ran our programs and what models we were using. that forced us to look internally. do we have the right people both on the staff in the board and bringing in fresh talent and perspective? was a big change and continues to be something we are doing. with that comes, how are we working with partners and is it the right model for impact we are having? one of the big changes we have made it -- is because of our brand, we can add to the engagement. the base is broadening it to a bigger culture. we do not have to stay serving in talking to the same people over and over. we can partner with companies or messengers and get the message out

and if you are running against trump that's y to think if youk most of that vivek vote would've gonerump. a good bit of desantis would have gone to trump. you could argue there's a good 80% of the iowa caucus voting to trit still shows there is some appetite for a candidate not natr and if you are nikki haley or ron desantis, your hope is you can build on something like that. >> are guest with us if you want to ask questions about the iowa results and as we head towards new for democrats, 202-748-8001 for republicans. independents, 202-748-8002. if you want to text us your thoughts you can do so a 20for now the starting nominatiu think the biden campaignooks at the start and what goes on? guest: campaign months ago arrived at the conclusion that they are most likely facing a rematch with trump. i> doing this thing where they were hitting trump and hitting ron desantis. they were trying to brand ron desantis in such a way that most of the trump playbook would also work against him. if the nominee were to be nikki ha think they have given some thought to that and have tried to frame he

what do youked you, think we could offer north korea to get them to curb their new -- nuclear program, i want to say i agree with you that these threats coming from trump are totally empty. i think he is a complete low heart. we i disagree with you that asked the of anything we can offer them right now to curb the program? it isn't isolated and paranoid regime. in their mind, in my opinion, having nuclear weapons is the only way to keep us and other countries from stopping the regime. i do not think they have any intention of using the nuclear weapons. they do, it will ultimately lead to their destruction. they also know if they have them, it will keep us from going , getting rid of their government. guest: i think you make a good point and you may be right. it may be too late, and we may have passed that mark. you put your finger on the right question. if anything, our leverage? that leverage has to address, what do they want? if the only thing they want is so they nowbility become impervious to the threats or the dismantlement of the regime from the outside, then there is very littl

and, what did you see, particularlysbv,svb -- what youk about the government's thoughts about it? guest: there is a lot of stuff that we don't know and there is always a tendency to think there has been a disaster and let's find someone to blame. i am finding -- about finding someone to blame but i am not sure who that is. all of us need to take up -- a deep breath and think abo what is going on because this is too important to politicize. the other thing about this mess, that contradicts what i said that we don't know what is going on, we know that if we had required banks, all kinds of banks to carry out -- a higher level of capital, that would have given us something to protect against the downfall so whatever theolution is, im convinced it is going to be requiring nks to carry more capital. host: we have seen back early on -- someone -- something was supposed to take care of a t of things specifically with making and including their fiscal and liquidity ability. you think the law protects something like this or is it a relevant? guest: it didn't work. we had a bank fail. there

this week youk put out a statement saying when you look at his record there are gaping holes and some great questions. what are the holes and what are the questions. guest: this is the most important position in this next administration. who will sit at the town of the nation's law enforcement agency. he has a long track record that we can work from. look very carefully at his track record and what we found is a man whose euro his career has been opposed to civil rights at almost every turn. this is someone who during his tenure in congress vote to against the hate crimes he has opposed bipartisan immigration reform efforts. when we look back further into his career as a state prosecutor down in alabama, we find that he levied voter fraud charges on african-americans civil rights activists who live in the black belt of the state. one of the people he targeted in one of his notorious prosecution, a group known as the marion three, included charges brought against albert turner, and activists who marched alongside dr. martin luther king. he started the harry county civic league that foc

city, when youk had the muslim things and the way people, i stand there and listen for 15 to 20 minutes because it does not faze me. you can spew whatever you want at me because i knew what and who i am. host: jane from connecticut, independent line. caller: i am an 83-year-old woman and i have been to lots of peaceful rallies. i have exercise my right to free speech, but this is not free speech any longer. these are riots. their loot -- ruining peoples property, causing mayhem. free speech should be allowed but not riots. these are paid protesters. i went to a hartford rally and i was physically attacked, scared for my life. it was lucky that one of their own protesters finally realized i was in big trouble and got me to safety. this is not free speech. when you ask these people what they are therefore, most of them go, i do not know. they do not know. they are paid by the soros people and other groups, and that is no longer free speech. i wore a trump t-shirt. was -- independent and i i changed to republicans like a vote. i wore a trump t-shirt and they called me a non-city -- nazi. w

. >> if youk at the statute it protection for good samaritan blocking and screening. if you take into account oakmont, those things i thought were a given, what the people who were crafting these statute were worried was fromhe internet and the extent to which becausef that court case and s others, the platforms were not being incentivized to take it down. if they were trying to take it down, they were going to be slammed because they were to be treated as a publisher. the statute is like, we want you to take these things down and so here's e are going to do, just because they are on your e does not mean you're going to be held automatically liable for it. that is c1. in c2, if you don't take them all down, you're not goingbe held liable for it. that doesn't cover making promotions or doing anything >> what i understand the government and titioner to be saying, disseminating 24/7 of isis vis protected. the only thing not protected is whether you can tease out somethout the organization an call a recommendation whe there is no express feed recommending it. it is the pl

everyone, youk have been my friends, you have been loyal, you have been strong.t -- say to adam, good luck, he's a tough cookie, it's a tough race. dean, he has to done so well that i can't imagine anything bad happening. you have to always fight hard. you have to be careful. you can't let wacky jackie do it. a vote for her is a vote for nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. a vote for her is a vote for taxes going way up. are going to give you all sorts of false promises. your taxes are going way up. she was saying forget about the crumbs. it was a lot of money for people. more. $3000 three weeks, she was talking about she wants to raise everybody's taxes. i don't think so, somehow that doesn't play very well. is a vote for her increased taxes, weak borders, it's really a vote for crime, it's a vote to get rid of police officers. they want to get rid of vice. -- of ice. the thing they respect his toughness. you are the number one student in your class, they don't respect that, they respect toughness. our people are so tough. they are much tougher than the ms 13 people

have three kids, two grandkids -- we were youking about basically know spending as much as we possibly can on the kids. but because of what happened in ferguson and all over the country, we basically are not going to do anything these holidays. host: what do you think the message will be that you are sending by not spending anything or at least spending less this holiday season as it relates to what happened in ferguson, missouri? caller: i think it will be my own private boycott of corporate companies to basically show inidarity for protesters america who are outraged and upset about the treatment of african-american youth. host: talk a little bit about -- are you the only one doing this that you know of? are there others? caller: i have five brothers and five sisters. as far as i know, none of them are going to do any shopping either. maybe 14 nieces and nephews. they will have a rough christmas, but they all understand why we are doing it. host: so it's not just black friday. you are not planning to spent totally this holiday season because of that. caller: nothing at all. >> your 1

somehow, whether it be a phone call or a video call or maybe the opportunity to be with your because, youk 'em, know, there will be a day when your mom will be gone, and, uh, and so, you know, i am as confident as i can be that i will see my mom again, and cathy hers, you know, someday in heaven, but at the same time, i wish to goodness they were here. you know, i say this story a lot, but, you know, in growing up, you know, a lot of times, uh , you know, if you are playing, you know, watching your kids play, you know, a little league baseball game or whatever, and the sun would be hot, and the bleachers would be hard, and then you think back, you know, and from the standpoint of, you know, kind of a role reversal, you know, i would have been playing, my mom would have been sitting, but i have been sitting and watching my children play, if, you know, that moment, that bleacher is hard or the sun hot, what you would get to have that moment back. and so once it is gone, you cannot have that moment back, so please take time to embrace your mom and someway, whether it be a phone call owh

tell youk me, i will why it is a problem, but i will get back to your question. and hearingsonally from our members, there's no reason to support what is put forth. we have a plan. let's put on the table what it andhat we need to address, there is a promise to put it on the floor for a vote, and let's assign our appropriators of getting the bills written in a. period of time. there will be a large member's -- number of members will not supported. there's so much of a disagreement that they almost don't want an agreement. again, the irresponsibility of , ouring down government distinguished colleague member --the messaging committee mentioned how many times republicans have shifted the government down. we believe in governance. it accountable and have transparency in what we do. bipartisanship in our solutions in freeing the country together. when i see on the senate side, it does not look like way to me -- it does not look that way to me. heard the question about hospitals -- the decision group responded to the shutdown, and what are they saying? do they feel str

. -- can youk a little talk a little bit about developing capacities to protect from internal threats with respect to cyber protection? n increasingously a concern. there is history of some of these problems occurring. within the senate itself in the closed session we can talk more. talk more about your focus on internal threats and making sure that offices are protected from individuals who may have found a way inside to take information from servers that are shared. mr. larkin: senator murphy, i welcome that question because it they --tle % of the folks here are absolutely committed to its success. i think we'll be putting our head in the sand if we did not posture ourselves to look for insider threats, especially with the history of insider threats and the damage it has done to other organizations within our government let alone the public and private arenas. we are incorporating capabilities that not only are policy-based, but also software-based. who has access to sensitive information, is it appropriate access? that can be achieved not only through authorities that also sophisti

and that is fundamentally changing the way we talk to each other,information, and when youk are goingide. so close with this. this is new data we just pumaybn the union right now in determining the white house, the house, and the senate. look at these numbers, look how they shift. you havef right now 35% in maricopa county and growing is now independent. so the going to come through these independents, these younger folks. an if you look at the latino demographics in america, of course they skew younger. that is a big portion of this rise of independents comes from 40-year-old envelope, in this room -- this 40-year-old and below. that is my hope, this new generation coming in has the power to shift this dynamic because they are not nearly as . ms. tovar: your last slide right ther ide in 2020 during the pandemi absolutely correct on the data. we are one third, one third, one third, in regards to our political landscape in arizona. i knew in order to get elected statewide, i had to reach out to all. did. i didanother, i did not underese them, i treated them equally in making sure i was

would youking order, put citizens united at the top? i know you are big on gerrymandering and the problems it has created, and the elections and the lack of democracy we have in elections. where does that sit? hon. stevens: gerrymandering is at the top because it is such a simple solution. racial gerrymandering is prohibited but why political gerrymandering shouldn't have the same fate -- there is no explanation for that. frank: is there a way to do it without politics? we are allowing elected officials to draw the district so that it benefits themselves. remember as: i writer at the time saying based on the james comey book, the higher truth, that when a legislator is asked to vote on a gerrymandered district, he should not vote for it. he should know that it is an improper district. it's like cheating at cards. some things you don't do. districts not draw just to affect the outcome of elections. frank: that happens though. hon. stevens: that happens, but it shouldn't. legislators thought about the consequences of what they were doing,

. -- how do youk debate someone who is not interested in civility or facts? [laughter] [applause] did you have someone specific in mind? with --e preface that it is a question for you, but also for us. so, here's how i see this. we have a chance now, over the , to year and three quarters get out there and talk about something we have not talked about nearly enough. that is what we are fighting for. believe that when we get a chance to do this, we can actually come together on this. i told you i grew up in oklahoma. all three of my brothers still live in oklahoma, and one of my three brothers is a democrat. [laughter] >> we are working on it. here is the deal. , love all three of my brothers and what i believe is that, whatever else is going on, the noise and the nonsense and the wind and the craziness, we have and what matters to us is that everybody gets a fighting chance to build something. is thatters to us people get a chance to get an education without getting crushed my student loan debt. is thatters to us people get access to health care. that they can

about, if youking are ever going to do it, this is the time. ,e look at the country everything has come back around. we have these deep divisions over 2 wars. troops coming back, terribly wounded. maybe youit is -- have something to say about that that. i said, maybe i don't. he said, try. and so, i did. i thought about it and he was absolutely right. book toping with this write something that would number one, show people what to the cost of combat really is. two, and at -- aimed at men and women coming back in seriously bad shape. limbs, all sorts of things. will give them something to hang on to. luck, somein little so people that care about you. you can really put you life back together. not the way it was going to be, -- authentically your owner. >> let me show you some video when we talked about your book "the nightingale's song," 19 years ago. here you are on the program. [video clip] extent,i did to a large i felt anger and hostility that many of my [indiscernible] was, i do not think it is good for me. it is not mentally and psychologically good for me to be part of it. to a ce

helper youk to my , can talk to him about that. >> we have a question about the environment. the environment is really important. let's go to that question now. >> thank you for this opportunity to ask the question. i like to wish you a happy new year. to you and everyone in this room and in the country. so, my question is about environments. 2017 is going to become the year of environments. and you signed a decree, there will be a meeting concerning the environmental development of russia for future generations. and it is the first time it is worded this way. for future generations. thinke official -- do you there will not be a reason why the upcoming environmental year is going to be -- i have a newspaper, 2013 was also announced as a year of environments. but it was ruined, it was a failure. and you admitted that. president putin: you can't me. -- caught me. >> so i have some specific suggestions. i have a lot of experience. this meeting will take place on december 27, maybe i can attend it? so maybe russian embassies and other countries should have some environmental depa

topic youking on a are interested in as well, the public charge rule. your thoughts on that? we saw the quote from you in the washington times. guest: it is long overdue to lay out in more detail what a public charge is. the basic concept is something people understand. immigrants should not be allowed to move here if they can't support themselves. this is not just something the federal government required in the 1800s. that's the federal law. this is something that dates to the 1600s. the first immigration law ever passed in america was in massachusetts bay colony in 1645. it said people who can't support themselves should not be allowed to move to the colony. what the new public charge rule simply does is overturn a clinton era rule that ineffective find welfare use only to cash benefits. you could be considered self-sufficient as an immigrant so long as you did not use cash welfare, but got food stamps, medicare, medicaid, public housing. as long as it was not cash. that is an almost meaningless thing. out inle simply lays more detail in a modern welfare state what is it m

so if we are going to start talking about sanctuary cities, mind that youk would but to allege. let's talk about all of them, especially the people who are on the committee. talked aboutng we was the unfortunate death of a fire chief, a very respected and loved fire chief in st. john parish. that is what we should stop. the guy didn't live in new orleans, he was never arrested in new orleans, the company he worked for was not in new orleans. that has absolutely no connection to the city of new orleans. operated out of st. tammany parish with an elected official as a co-owner, andh i think is deplorable i think that we should be looking at prosecution for that. when did you initiate trying to make sure the city's policy was consistent with federal law. discussions in september. those have continued on the local and headquarters level and at no point did anyone ever say that this policy didn't comply with federal law. >> at what point is a your officers opinion that they did not comply with federal law? what's up at any time did they not comply? >> the justice department believes

. >> youk you've been in a never ending negotiation with your ranking■ member maxine waters of californiahere's a movie that came out a couple of years ago calledbx "palm springs." it's some sort of version of "groundhog day." >> at the end of day maxine waters is waiting for you at tht change and greater understanding. over time, you get to a better place and you're learninmethinge this loop that we are in. what i would say is now that we are 20 months in on negotiations, our teams know everything about each other when it comes to stable coin. the wording of the bills on the bits that are the most difficult for usbwo resolve. we have a full understanding. waters and i, as well. she started this process. the terms of the republin passed out of the committee with democratic votes with the bipartisan majority in july. that architecture is hers. under a democratic congress when she first filed the bill. it's the architecture of new services, the new york model is what we took as the waters model , which is what we took as the republican model. and the tweaks on this stuff are terms. for the

thank youke to say very much for doing your job. you couldn't pay me enough to do your job. i would also like to say that i have had experience with police. when i was 17 i got caught shoplifting. a pair of earrings at the local walmart. i didn't tell my parents. didn't run and get a lawyer. went down to the courthouse. showed up and told the judge i did it and i was sorry and won't do it again. got my six months probation. and every week i had to report to a lady's house in my neighborhood. knewl the kids probably why was going there every week until my six months was up. but i didn't care. foundly reason my parents out was because a letter got sent to my home stating that i had completed my perl and stuff -- probation. it's called personal responsibility. run, if you don't fight, if you don't spit at them, if you don't try and run away, if you don't try and fight with people, they're not going to abuse you. and that's my thing. i believe in personal responsibility. and i'm going to be 60. i've had police pull me over. i don't give them a problem. goodbye. very much and gue

god bless america and god bless our veterans. , do youking your calls support or oppose a preemptive strike on north korea? if you supported call 202-748-8000. if you oppose it call 202-748-8001. if you are not sure call 202-748-8002. calling fromerman baltimore, maryland, the oppose line. caller: i am a korean war veteran. i was there for the last two or three months of the war in 1953. i have to battle stars and am opposed. you have to get the history of this. the korean war was finished with an armistice. forbidden anythat entry of new kinds of weapons into the korean peninsula. u.s.57, the usenet -- the unilaterally abdicated the clause and brought nukes and to the korean peninsula. at which time the north koreans asked china and russia to supply it with nuclear weapons. they refused. at which point north korea went on the path to develop its own that. the only country north korea is trying to defend itself from is the u.s. the u.s. should try to do something to make sure -- assure north korea we will not attack them. i can think of two ways to start on that. number one is to sig

maybe that is what you are doing now. , maybe youking hard are working two jobs, maybe you work during the day and go to school at night because you want all the things that never happened for you to be possible for your children. [applause] the reason why i tell that story is because that is what makes us different. that is what makes us special. every country in the world has rich people. someone is financially successful, we celebrate it. we do not look down on it and demonize it the way barack obama does. that is not what makes us special. every country in the world has rich people. what makes a special are the millions of people who are not rich and not even trying to get rich. you become a teacher or nurse or a firefighter or a police officer or join the armed forces or go into the ministry, you know you're not going to become a billionaire doing that but you do and you want to make enough money to own a home and retire with dignity and leave your kids with a chance to be anything they want to be. that is what makes us special. [applause] rubio: that is the real american dream. t

industry, youking have guidelines in your state. have encouragement in terms of what you are saying as governor. you often resisted formal rules or executive order. how are you going to hold meatpacking companies accountable for workplace conditions if they are not formal guidelines or executive orders? have a regulatory scheme in place to manage workplace is called osha. that is a federal government role. we don't have any regulatory role in the state of nebraska. we have been working to communicate out and work with food processors with regard to the best practices that we have established. we have more room for improvement as we go forward, but we have weekly calls with the processors to hit upon these best practices. they are not just putting up plexiglas, it is also practices with regards to attendance records. folks are being paid to say at home if they are sick or they have short-term disability. reducing incentives for workers to come in if they are sick and spread the virus. approach in general has been to take a lighter ha

i think youk back, have to first thing about the media's will in the 72 olympics in munich. that was the television age. you have to think about, the security issues were focused on, how do we protect this venue? no one really knew what was happening. we all know what happened in munich. 96,next biggest step was in atlanta. that was the cable age, especially with atlanta being the hub of ted turner's media empire. you have to think about the olympic in that aspect was focused on cable issues. 9/11 and another aspect of my background is that i was down at the world trade center in the area and i became homeless because of the terrorist attacks. i saw the whole thing and took some photographs and ran for my life along with tens of thousands of other new yorkers. reallyrience that day gave me the impression and the knowledge about what some of the things that we all have to think about as practitioners as trying to protect ourselves. what are the possible things that could potentially happen on the ground for different types of events? to problem is that you have try to plan fo

youked him why, why would in the 1960's, you were busy starting your business, why would you help a blackily move in your neighborhood? i was sitting at home watching tv. the movie was65, called judgment at nuremberg. most of america was watching this movie and they broke away from the movie to show a bridge in alabama. here is a white man on the couch a thousand miles away watching marchers from selma get stopped on a bridge in alabama by state troopers who then tear gassed them and charged in with billy clubs and started viciously beating them. what to the sky on account to new jersey do? he did not allow his inability to do everything to undermine his determination to do something. he stood up from the couch and said, i cannot go to alabama. powerfull do what is a american tradition. i will do the best i can with what i have where i am. he was a patriot. he showed his love. he called around to see who needed a pro bono -- an hour of pro bono work. working and started they got other volunteers demanding from their neighbors. by 1969, they had a whole system working. i will never forget
