the us federal system us statutes take over expressly and by putting something in playing on the possibility of aa local or state statute or commonwealth of territory statute. that this situation brings his puerto rico is taken out of federal bankruptcy law. but by doing so, it remains preempted even though there is nothing to preempt it with. that is totally contrary and it is a new and interesting novelty of preemption by ownership. >> thank you, representative. please answer the question. >> the question was, independence contrary to the international community in which countries, part of the authority in order to come in new arrangements of regional nature, in other words why independence in the age of interdependence? has been talked about in those terms. well, the premise of the question is precisely that sovereign nations sit together and negotiation tables to agree on terms for economic and in the case of europe even political arrangements that are mutual interest and benefit. puerto rico cannot sit at this tables. admitting quite clearly in the last few years all we can do is come h

our future combat control systems, the future use of different communication systems, and how we use cyber for that. so, he did it, and for the short-term will be to federatell of the national -- international initiatives, i think. vago: pentagon is working on a third offset strategy to stay ahead of competitors and push innovation. from your standpoint, what should the third offset strategy be, and what is the key to having an integrated command? the strip -- cyber the strategy, as far as i understand from the presentation the strategy, as far as i can understand for the presentation, is how we can use artificial intelligence -- exactly what i talked about when i talked about clouds. it is important for me to continue t see how we can have some kind of synchronization. that is a specific call for a .c.t.. the european union tried to promote the idea of a research and development fund to bringing new research, new ideas, and we do the same in nato. there is a similar strategy in the u.s.. obviously, if we have to be engaged, we will be altogether. really a role for my command to try to see how we can have the vision and what will result of nato, the opinio

us. i think the federal system you are going to see moving in the same direction as the state system that i think all of us do all the different but if we do it all although different we will learn more and we'l we wile more tools in the toolkit. yes to. [inaudible] >> i appreciated what you were saying about a six-month been more like a life sentence for a lot of folks i remember when i was prosecuting a lot of the his position with the county level and they would involve detention and accountable for sales and not in a state correctional facility. i'm pointing at the statistics you have been sharing take into account what's happening at the county level versus the state level as well? >> the recidivism rate is not but there's a major effort in medicaid sign-ups even in county jails, and judges look at the opportunity to put people in community settings. so we are seeing more of that in the lower tiers of misdemeanor offenses. so we are saying some growth with that but we are not, the recidivism rate does not encompass the locals. i do have delete the the red card was up quite a bit earlier, so thank you very much. [applause] >> get very much, director mohr. now i'd like to introduce our next panel. and leaving spent his road back the balance of the center for american progress and families, and she'll be joined by some graduates have effective commute and families to talk about -- about their experience from this perspective. just before we start we are looking for attorney general sam olens it easier to please come back stage. >> can you hear me, is my mic on? antacid. always a good start. my name is rebecca that i am the managing director of the poverty to prosperity program at center for american progress. i'm honored to be part of this conversation today. i think edwards in this audience is probably more fully than they would like to be. with stern statistic that they could get for example, by states has 5% of the worlds population but 25% of the world prison population. i think we are familiar with 2.3 million americans being behind bars in our nation's prisons and jails and rep up also increasing familiar with one in three americans now have some type of criminal record. part of what why i'm so excited to be part of this conversation is happening this morning is that while those facts and those figures and those citizens are incredibly important, they only tell part of this story. for us to get a sense of what the impact of mass incarceration and over criminalization has been in this country, we need to talk to the people who are impacted by those policies. and, of course, it isn't just the individuals who have been sentenced to a crime. it's also their families and their communities. so i am incredibly excited to introduce the panel that will be speaking today. and before i do that i wanted to share one striking if not staggering statistic that the center for american progress recently brought to light which is in addition to all of those numbers i've rattled off, it really helps to shine light on impact the families and i would really have reached a tipping point and that is that we are now at a point where nearly half of children in this country have a parent with a criminal record. i will let that settle as people think about that being a legacy of our nation's failed experiment with mass incarceration and over criminal session. so with that i'm incredibly pleased

federal judge to force apple to create a system to unlock the phone. apple fought back saying government can't tell us to create something for the government's use.d put all of its' users information at risk. in response the fed accused tech giant putting tech business ahead of terrorism. the judge said some third party helped agents get past the phone security measures. they did not say what the third party is. nor did they say exactly how they hacked the device. fox news senior correspondent -- or chief correspondent i should say jonathan hunt is live with us this afternoon in the west coast news hub. what are they telling us about what they found on the phone? >> shep, so far they're giving precisely zero information on what they may or may not have found on that phone, whether it has any relevance whatsoever to the san bernardino attacks that happened of course last december. all we got so far is a statement from the fbi agent in charge which reads in part, quote, i am satisfied we have access to more answers than we did before and that the investigative process is moving forward. as for who may have helped crack this phone, if indeed it did

us to tell us what the turkish government would make out of this possible announcement where the kurds are saying that the group is preparing to declare a federal system in the areas it controls near the northern border with turkey. >> reporter: well i should say to stort with although it seems to have come as ray surprise, this idea of a future syria under a federal settlement had actually been mooted or floated as an idea before the talks began by the russian foreign ministry. lo and behold here we are three days into the talks and the kurds apparently are declaring that this is going to happen. in that sense the ground it seems potentially have been laid for this by the russian foreign minister before the talks started. in that sense even though the government in ankara to your question hasn't actually given an fish reaction yet, it may be that they thought that this was possible, even though the kurds haven't been invited to geneva, but it is possible that it would happen. i think in general terms the governor in ankara will be worried about this, not least because they regard the y.p.g., the armed group operating the kurdish armed group that has been operating inside northern syria as linked to and as an extension of the p.k.k. which is a prescribed terrorist organization operating inside turkey. so at the very least i think the turkish government will see this as a major security concern because they accuse the y.p.g. of moving weapons across the border. that is the worst and given there is a turkish enclave in northern syria and iraq as well, they will in their worst case scenario will worry whether kurds in southern turkey might even conceivably, even though there a s a range of opinions, some might start to demand the same sort of autonomy for their rights in southern turkey as well. the thing that is the absolute worse case scenario for them is the idea as something that might look like a future kurdistan with travels the border. these are the things that worry them almost more than anything else. >> reporter: even though you say this idea has been floated around recently lip, i still wonder what syrians themselves and specifically those in aleppo would make of a potential announcement: they will find the entire idea egregiously unfair. you have to remember from the start that the syrians who began the revolution, their primary demand was for a warm syria for all syrians, whether they're kurds or anything else at all. they will be very, very much against the idea of splitting syria up into blocks under a federal system even if it isn't broken up entirely and they will be saying why is it that the occur are being allowed this new autonomy and we're not. just going back to the idea floated by the russians, and if it is true as well as the kurdish area there was an idea of a sunni block with raqqa in it but the whole of the western strip with aleppo and homs all the cities going up to the tur wish border being run by the government in damascus. that will be an absolute non-starting >>> the timing you of all of these peace talks go on in geneva and the wyd expludd from the talks. -- excluded from the talks. >> reporter: yes. exactly. it's the russians who wanted the kurds to be included and it's not difficult,itive say, even though you can't actually prove it at the moment, to see the russian hand behind all this. why would the russians want the kurds to have this sense of autonomy. obviously, there's this loose arrangement in northern syria between the kurds it is said and the regime in dpam as can you say and, therefore-- damascus and, therefore, by extension with moscow. it is easily, potentially, even though you can't prove it, to suggest that the russians might want the kurds to have this power and autonomy as revenge against the turkish government and certainly relations between ankara and moscow have got so bad, this can only make things worse still >>> thank you very much for joining us from gaziantep with that update. we're going to speak to a phd researcher at the free university of brussels and that is where he is joining us. firstly, give us your take on the peace talks taking place now in geneva and what you expected to come out of them and specifically with in announcement that we hear from a senior spokesman for syria's kurds saying that the group are preparing to declare a federal system in the area that is controlled. what do you make of the timing of that? >> let me put this in perspective. in late 1980s and early 90s, the p.k.k. saw an opportunity to establish a base in syria, to have a bigger leverage in its conflict with turkey. all of the p.k.k. was effectively kicked out from syria in late 1990s, break out of the syrian civil war. we see that the p.k.k. or the kurds in syria ambitions about syria start to evolve in a different direction. so if syrian kurds wish to declare and keep a federal system, we can expect that syrian kurds will not diverse subst

system because of illegal immigration. how much is it costing the state and the country? >> let me begin by saying that our government, federal government has absolutely failed us, failed to protect usmr. trump will listen and he will protect us. he will take care of us. bottom line is that in arizona we were the gateway to all of this illegal immigration. the only border that really truly isn't secured and we are the recipients of the crime, the drop houses, the extortion, the sex trafficking and then we have to pay for their education, their health care and the incarceration. the federal government never comes and never helps. we plead and we fight and they do not do a thing. we want somebody that will stand up and protect us. >> both of you have been attacked nationally by a president who's lawless and doesn't respect co-equal branches of government and separation of powers and the constitution of the united states. but you'll both held your ground. >> absolutely. i think like mr. trump and like sheriff joe and all of you we believe in the rule of law. >> sheriff, maybe for people that haven't been to the border, i've been down ten, 12 times, i have seen it firsthand. i've been t

us. i think the federal system is going to be movement in the same direction as state system. all of us to a little bit different. we will learn even more. >> i remember when i was prosecuting i would involve detention unaccountable facility and not in a state correctional facility. i am wondering if the statistics you all have been sharing are taken into account what is happening at the county level versus the state level as well. >> recidivism rate is not. there is a major record in medicaid signing up in county jails. we see more of god and we see some growth with that, but the recidivism rate does not encompass the locals. the red car was that. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you very much, director mohr. now i'd like to introduce our next panel and maybe ms. panelists rebecca ballis of the center for american progress and families and she will be joined by some graduate and families to talk a little bit about their experience from that perspective. >> just before we start, we are looking for attorney general sam allis is easier to please come backstage. >> can you guys hear me? fantastic. my name is rebecca. i am the managing their at the center for american progress and i'm incredibly honored to be part of this conversation today. everyone in this audience is probably more familiar than they would like to be certain statistics and figures. for example, the united states has 5% of the worlds population. 25% of the world's prison population we are all familiar with 2.3 million americans in our nation's prison and jail than we are probably also increasingly familiar that one in three americans now have some type of criminal record. that's part of why i'm so excited to be part of the conversation happening this morning his father's facts and figures only tell part of the story and for us to really get a sense of what the impact of mass incarceration and over criminalization has been in this country, we need to talk to the people impacted by those policies. of course it isn't just the individuals who have been sentenced to a crime. it is also their families and communities. i am incredibly excited to introduce the panel that is going to be speaking today. before i do that, i wanted to share one striking if not staggering statistic that the center for american progress recently brought to light which is in addition to all of those numbers have rattled off, it really helps to shine a light on the impact on families and how we really have reached a tipping point. we are now deployed where nearly half of children in this country have a parent with a criminal record. i will let that settle land as people think about that been the legacy of our nations failed experiments with mass incarceration and over criminalization. with that, i'm pleased to introduce annemarie alber, as

used to help expand einstein basically all federal agencies are using einstein one and two and also einstein three intrusion detection system across the board and bring in the new personnel we talked about for cyber os. how does the budget support implementation of the cyber security information legislation sharing that was enacted last year? we worked on it together and got great support from the administration from the president. but how does the budget support implementation of our information sharing bill that was enacted and signed into law last december? >> short answer for instance in maintaining our technology and building upon what we have, further investments in the einstein system further investments in cdm, the legislation specifically authorizes dhs to go into other federal departments and agencies to detect, to monitor and block intrusions, that is a good thing that congress gave us the authority to do that, because we were finding considerable uncertainty in departments and agencies to do that. one of my top priorities for federal civilian dot-gofr cyber security while i'm in office is to have e3a in place to block intrusions across our entire federal civilian system before the end of this year, and i think that's one of the legal mandates in the bill. but as i've said, einstein is also a platform for being additional capabilities so we're not just going after known intrusions, but also suspected intrusions. there are pilots out there now to do that, and i think we need to build on that for the future. so the funding for additional technology implements the legislation that was passed last year. >> all right, just a quick question follow-up on encryption if i could. we hear a lot in the media about apple and the disagreements that they have with the fbi, it's a serious matter and we have a mass killing in san bernardino, as we know, i think 14 people were killed
