that is a community panel with local asian and pacific islanders. a recent hoover institution researchers says that sanders needs the younger people and independent vote. the question is, will he get that vote? >> other sessions like stanford are still in session. others have ended. where are those kids? are they still in california? will they bother to vote on tuesday. >> hillary clinton will be back in california starting tomorrow for five days of campaigning here ahead of the primary election. clinton picked up a key endorsement from governor brown. she attended a fundraiser yesterday in new jersey with senator paul booker of new jersey, who some say to be a vice-presidential candidate. >>> meantime, some conservative republicans have come up with a strategy to push an alternative to donald trump. his name, david french, a conservative writer, harvard law school grad and iraq war veterans. he is seriously considering a run. now, the strategy is not that french would necessarily win out right but that he could take away enough votes from both dona

again, i say jrotc is not suffering but i'll say in the district our black our latin and asian pacific islanders are english learners and children with special needs and if you want to possibly take the resources away from those populations that no he had it most of the i say same shame on one-on-one anyone with that intention and proposal we have children not reading in grade level and children that are homeless in our district and behind in the race and any opportunities and resources need to go to the innovation to address the gaps in our districts if in their are funding gaps that exist in jrotc it is due to the take that that the department of justice to be specific is not funding their own program the fight is with the federal government with the go budget at at least 3.3 trillion sow we don't take food out of the mouth of those that need it the most jrotc is not suffering in this district and lifting prohibitions creates the vision and stirs up the dichotomy of important with the people are the means in our district shame on us i don't think who is spreading the rumor about jrotc to compe

i love my family, a few precious friends, for cats, two dogs, cherry blossoms to japan, pacific islands beaches and bays, and the majestic sierra nevada mountains where it all began for me. my feelings about work are very intense, but quite different. there's a tv advertisement for the united states navy vet says it's not just a job, it's an adventure. that's exactly how i feel about my years in silicon valley. and interesting, challenging, all consuming adventure. like any ongoing adventure, i have no idea how it ends. but i know it will. for me. and a long, long time from now for all of you. but today, graduates, you're beginning your great adventure. your generational change the world as every generation does. you will invent new technologies and create new types of art. impossibilities will be transformed into possibilities, and unexpected opportunities will present themselves. you will change the world, and the world will change you as you learn and grow and discover more about yourself. remember this, graduates. and a constantly changing world, what is possible is a moving target.

they know it is not a hoax and from bangladesh to the pacific islands, rising seas are swallowing land and forcing people from their homes. around the world, stronger storms and more intense droughts will create humanitarian crises and risk more conflict. this is not just a moral issue. not just an economic issue. it is also an urgent matter of our national security. and for too long, we've heard that confronting climate change means destroying our own economies. but let me just say, carbon emissions in the united states are back to where they were two decades ago, even as we've grown our economy dramatically over the same period. alberta, the oil country of canada, is working hard to reduce emissions while still promoting growth. [applause] president obama: so if canada can do it and the united states can do it, the whole world can unleash economic growth and protect our planet. we can do this! we can do it! we can do this! we we can help lead the world to meet this threat. already, together in paris, we achieved the most ambitious agreement in history to fight climate change. now, le

african-americans, latinos, asians, and pacific islanders, as well as native americans are diagnosed with lupus two to three times more frequently than caucasians. more than 13% of african-americans age 20 or older have diagnosed diabetes. and people of color are two to four times more likely than whites to reach end stage renal disease this grim snapshot illustrates that despite the gains we have made since the days of ben franklin and the a.c.a., there is still much ground to cover in closing the health equality gap. last year, i drafted a comprehensive report, the keller report on health disparity, an official congressional analysis of the state of minority health in the u.s., that offers a blueprint for reversing negative health trends in community of -- communities of color. it brought members of congress together, and mick health thought leaders to examine the root causes and impacts in america and brought together a comprehensive set of legislation to address them. the whole can only be as healthy as it parts. for america to achieve true health equity, lawmakers, community lea

south pacific islanders and victims, many, many, many we know that all can relate to this because they have suffered and continue to suffer all the health illnesses from radiation poisoning all over the world. i'll open it up for questions now. i think i'll pose the first question, i think, to setsuko to get the ball rolling. we have about 25 minutes, i think, to continue discussion. but, first of all, setsuko, give us a sense of how you then came from virginia where i'm so glad you were determined to speak truth. how did you come from virginia to toronto, canada? >> in hiroshima, then got the similarship to come to virginia. now, that school gave me full scholarship. by that time, i have some sort of idea i wanted to become a social worker because in that chaotic situation everybody needed a help and my church minister dedicated his life in supporting those people. i wanted to become a helping person, somebody who can help and contribute to society, to build up the city. and for that, i needed the social work professional trainer. japan's social work training in japan at that time was

but it was the pacific islands large and small that remained tate's intellectual focus for two decades, yielding a vast bod yif work that does not lend itself as easily to summary as her earlier work on disarmament. she published two books in the 1960s that became and remained standard treatments of the history of the annexation of hawaii in 1898 and its conversion into a near-colonial status from that time until statehood. the hawaiian controversy was more than a partisan issue, tate wrote. it actually initiated the great debate in american history over the merits of imperialism. relying on the records kept by the british government, she told the story of the 19th century struggle for hawaii's kingdom and its lands in strategic location from the point of view of the hawaiian people and its leaders, which was a very unusual move at that time. not just focusing on the united states and other nations, which she also did. but that of course would have been the normal purview of diplomatic historians, and those relying on the sources that she mined. she essentially read the sources against
