and when we return, what is the humane society of the united states? and why should my audience care about its existence? we're going to let you know >> and welcome back totototototn toto andndururocus on animal issues important to nevada. our special guest today has been mr. wayne pacelle, the president and ceo of the humane society of the united states. so which is the humane society of the united states and why is this national organization so important to its nevada-based member organizations as well as shelters and pet owners? the washington, d.c.-based organization was founded in 1954 to celebrate animals and to confront cruelty to all animals. they have taken on some transformational fights over the years to stop what they call the largest scale cruelties such as animal fighting, puppy mills, factory farming and the wildlife trade. according to their website, anti-cruelty laws in every nation and to end the confinement of farm animals in cages. to stop cosmetic testing on animals. halt cruelty to wildlife and help pets in poverty. along with its

it is a multiethnic society.t is because we do have an established arena for civil society fighting with the actions of citizens. there are distances and demands from the government. at least to an extent. stephen: other questions, comments? weigh in the back? and then we will take the two women here. >> thank you, greg from american university. i really appreciate your ,omments on civil society, amr and the need for organizations outside the region to help those inside the region. as you know, especially in egypt, the government portrays us as a foreign conspiracy and play up the hyper nationalism and prevent that type of assistance. so, how do you get around that , to have civil society, the united states, europe, helping those on the ground and in egypt? thank you. amr: thank you. very briefly, a, we don't have to push back on the counter narrative. we don't have to submit to the populist narrative of what happened was a conspiracy. it was not. it's not. the government should recognize the failures that they h

another problem is the growth of the surveillance society?his is a map, if you will, published in the wonderful website catounbound. for example, united states is one of the worth societies with regard to surveillance. .. fundamentally shift the balance of power between a state and citizens. of the danger of abuse may seem remote, given historical abuse of personal information that government during the 20th century than the risk is more than merely theoretical. it is more than merely theoretical. we still see people in congress trying to expand the surveillance in the united states. earlier this year, senator dianne finds time and senator richard are introduced a bill that called the compliance court orders at 22016. why shouldn't we comply with court orders? the problem is that basically says when service providers, technologies and telecommunications people must provide back doors to their technologies of the government snoops can get it whenever they want to. the problem is among many other things we can't be sure what the government will

we have no civil society channels. because the parliament and the party system are so tightly managed. we have no free speech channels. that is boiling very fast in a way that i think is far more dangerous than the situation in egypt before the uprising. >> i love your phrase that the leader is not a river to his people. the people are the river. not a bad way to summarize. >> try it. >> i will wait until madeline s with me. do we have microphones? right here in the front. fourth row. please identify yourself so we can get a lot of questions in, -- please notify yourself. so we can get a lot of answers and, if you will keep the questions short, we will keep the answers short. >> short questions come along answers. my research is civil relations between turkey, egypt, and israel. i think, listening to you, it's fascinating how you are describing analytically the arab world, but a lot of what you're saying applies to other cases on the periphery of the arab world or the core of the arab countries and turkey in particular

another problem is the growth of the surveillance society. this is a map if you will provided by private international and published on the wonderful website which basically suggests that for example the united states is one of the poorest societies with regard to surveillance. we now know through edward snowden's revelations that this is in fact a tremendous problem we have in the country. the problem is that if you don't have privacy, you don't have the space to talk amongst yourselves, then innovation both in the social level can be stymied. also we started with innovation that basically what you will find is that states or innovators can talk among themselves out of the limelight who will be reduced over time and will slow down progress again. it would be very hard to operate in that type of environment and it's not just my opinion. the privacy andcivil liberties oversight board which reported to president obama , confirming the government to routinely collect the records of the entire nation, fundamentally assist the balance of power bet

the question is how can we empower civil society organization, civil society activism? what are the conditions available and present in this environment which can hand civil society prospects? what are the conditions which i believe are the countries which undermine civisociety and here i'd like to highlight two points, one is the very fabric that we are still looking at constitutions and frameworks which in fact do not safeguard the autonomy of civil society which undermines our central society after the suspects that leads to state control, typically security nets control. second, you can see the association, organization, constituency building are not safeguards in most countries, civil society organizations now and up being urban-based, focused on whole segments of the population and do not have a comparable outreach to society organizations in any democracy, either western or on western democracy. intwo issues we have to look at , once again i say the analysis is we will not get to lead security through the state government if we do not get to viable, even democrat

we are replacing the free society with the permission society where you are not free unless the government gives you permission. now the models the lawyers used for this that i describe in the book is the difference between the nuisance system and the permit system. the new since the system is based on the classical legal principle something something something. i don't know that. and what that means is you have the right to use the property so long as you want as opposed to the permit system that says you are not allowed to do this unless the government allows you. now there are problems. one of them is that it's basically reactive. it allows people to commit harm and then you can sue them or get an injunction against them more or less after they committed the horrible or immediately before. the permit system is proactive if says no, no, you have to prove to us that you are qualified. there are many more problems in the permit system in the nuisance system for rent seeking the phenomenon the government can hand out benefits to people. no government can possibly know all of the information

is to focus on civil society. if we are looking at state institutions away from the collapse where trust has been lost and legitimacy is questioned and if we do not have-- [inaudible] >> it comes down to society where there has been the leading force in pushing the country forward through experiment of the covenants. the question is, how could we empower civil society organization, civil society activism, what are the conditions available, present across the region, which can and civil society. what are the conditions in some country that undermined civil society and i would like to highlight two key points. one, the very fact that we're still looking at constitutional framework , which affected not safeguard that the timing of civil society, which undermines our civil society activism to state control, typically security. secondly, organization, constituency building in arab countries, civil society organization and ends up being urban -based focus on segments of the population that don't have a comparative outre

run our society or take it back? we are in all of these constructions we don't know how to un- constrict ourselves because everything matters anddo we don't want to give it up. until we recognize that it becomes problematic because you are going to give us something. you can't keep everything and then move somewhere. you've got to give something. >> at the beginning of the book i say i really want to discuss forgiveness especially in the first chapter outside of christian theology. i grew up in the church myol granddad was a pastor, and very thoroughly embedded in christianity. but i grow weary of forgiveness being held captive to christian circles. it's kind of preached in the pulpits but it's rarely explain how this works. there is this pressure to do it and people will feel like they are not good christians if they can't do it and that's fascinating most people are not so forgiveness can't be only fo christians because everyone has to forgive. we all suffer and get harm to each other so we have to be abl to forgiv

another problem is the growth and surveillance society. this is a map published on the wonderful website cato unbound which basically suggests that. [inaudible] as we know now through edward snowden's revelations, this is a tremendous a tremendous problem that we have in this country. if you don't have privacy or the space to talk amongst ourselves then innovation can be stymied. : introduced a bill they crawled the appliance with court orders act. why not comply with court order inside the problem is that it basically says that what service providers, technologists period, and telecommunications people must provide back doors to their technology so the government snoops can get in whenever they want. to the problem is that among many other things we can't be sure what the government will do once they snoop with that information and secondly, bad guys can also find those same book doors and disrupt the economy and innovation as well. i do suspect that if they even thought about it's little bit, that the folks at the democratic national com

the westernge from pennsylvania anti-slavery society. paid inws the dues contributions to the society in 1838. you can see charles every contributing $100 in 1838. nearly 110 years after the abolitionist movement, the civil rights movement was in full swing. especially in pittsburgh. this mural is a photograph taken in 1969. this is the beginning of a march from the hill district over to the north side of pittsburgh where the construction for three rivers stadium was underway. these men were leaders of a civil rights movement, reverend jimmy joe robertson, nate smith, attorney bert brown were three of the people seen in the photo. they will march from what is today freedom corner, which was in the hill district, across the benedictom saint catholic church. ,hey marched down center avenue across the bridge to allegheny city where they were confronted by the police officers, similar to what happened in soma, alabama -- selma, alabama. there was a confrontation on the bridge tween the civil rights leaders and the pittsburgh police departmen

and -- society's institutions. lawyers who are doing the right thing are help people who are trying to work together and help those people figure out how to do it in the best way. so both of their interest are protected. that's what lawyers do. for me, that the service i wanted to be a part of. a service that i like being part of as a judge but most importantly, it brings me something that you should find in your own lives, passion. i love what i do. i have loved being a lawyer. i loved being a judge. it's something that i wake up to every day and i feel good about myself and about what i do. and so as you live your own life, be looking for that passion and that thing that drives you inside, that makes you excited about living. if you can find that excitement you will have the happiest life. , just like i have.

some want to stay active, others want to make a contribution to society. many say they need the money. >> i have to work because i'm not old enough to get pension and i don't have much savings. >> i want extra cash on hand to help me spend a richer life. >> this man is 65 years old. he spent decades working as a restaurant manager at a luxury hotel. last year he started looking for a way to re-enter the workforce. it's become his daily routine to visit the job support center. he sees many openings for house cleaners and security guards. but that's not what he's after. >> translator: there are many jobs, but they're not the ones i want. >> reporter: many seniors like him are looking for white collar jobs but few companies are offering those kinds of positions to the elderly. one staffing agency is looking for a solution for this mismatch. this is the ceo of the agency. he's trying to create jobs for people aged 65 or older. he visited an it firm in tokyo, and he made a suggestion to is managers. seniors tend to be early risers, so why not hire them to do da

another problem is the growth of the surveillance society. this is a map provided by privacy international and published on the wonderful web site, cato unbound. which basically suggests to you that, for example, the united states is one of the worst societies with regard to surveillance. edward snowden's revelations this is in fact a tremendous problem we have in this country. the problem is that if you don't have privacy, you don't have the space to talk amongst ourselves, then progress and innovation, in a social level, can be stymyes and ailes with innovation. that basically what you'll find is that space where innovators can talk among themselves out of the limelight will be reduced over time and will slow down progress again. it will be very hard to operate in that kind of environment and not just my opinion. the privacy and civil liberties oversight board which reported to president obama the following: permitting the government to routinely collect the calling records of the entire nation, undermentally shifts the balance of power bet

society in the world at large today. let me start with the respective licensing and certificate of necessity. the first time i had a matter is when the cato institute was in a small house in the northeast and i came over to talk about some cases i got involved in the unauthorized practice of law when i was recommended to florida state bar tightening up divorce papers for people who couldn't afford to have lawyers. we have challenges to that in other activities and cato was very much in line involving the legal profession as you heard of. many of them were successful but in the area i have been largely unsuccessful and i had tried to bring cases to that area raising a first amendment challenge that after all my client was just speaking and writing and that was the first protected activity but i always thought that wasn't a winning argument. it was conduct and people were trying to regulate. i didn't believe them and i still don't have all licensing of lawyers is a bad idea. it's gone too far in the areas which only lawyer

not like to inform the russian society. we engage in helping young russian politicians to participate in the elections to the state duma and will continue to help them get elected into regional parliaments, or at least participate in the pre-election show that is called elections in russia. we are also working in a number of other directions. i think that our activity in russia is noticeable. charlie: in what way? you are having an impact on the in getting people who agree with you elected? mikhail: to be elected in russia today without the present administration's approval is impossible. the present administration is very obviously, not going to give us such approval, but we can help, and we do help, young politicians, at least present themselves to society, introduced themselves, to present an alternative to russian society. what the main problem in russia is, is that people, they do not really want putin to be president forever, but he has cleaned up the political field so much that society doesn't see an alternative. an

it was because of society had changed. society was moving and of course our reactive institutions don't lead the way, but they can perhaps accelerate the direction of change. it was the first case you read in 1971. there was a whole series of cases that the court saw the light. the statute book into the 70s had a certain vision of the way women are and the way men are. the men were the breadwinners in the women's domain was the home and raising children. if you didn't fit that mold. [inaudible] in the ten years from 61 until 71, it was an enormous change. people were ordering their lives and i can illustrate that by comparing my children who are ten years apart. my daughter was born in 1955, just before i started law school she was four when i graduated and there are very few working moms and her kindergarten class. ten years later, when my son was born in 1965, two working parents were no longer unusual so there are many people in his class where the mother and father had a paid job. so many things worked in that directio

it's not enough in our society to say who knocked you down? but the question becomes what kind of a world do we live in that a person gets knocked down on the side of the road. >> armstrong: it's important to tell you a story, they can be saved, but so few of them that are saved, the overwhelming majority goes back to the same with the issue of trauma. >> guest: a lot of reasons why people go through levels avenue diction, whatever that violence is, and addiction is because of issue of trauma. i don't think our society has a good in-depth understanding of what trauma means, historically, personally collectively and how that impact our life. we are talking about the concept of love, compassion and justice. we have to pierce through these issues of trauma that requires getting to know, that requires some of the other virtues to really pierce through that issue of trauma. >> armstrong: in 30 seconds, given the fact that somebody returns to that life, what does it say about our future some. >> guest: we have to keep trying and investing on people,

the california historic society special thanks to every single one of the members you'll be a great partner i look forward to working with you closely because this i think is going to be that synergy that links the history of not only our city but the entire state of california that vflthd in our city for so many years and to link that and to make sure that history is known so that we can use it as a foundation to move forward as a city and a state this is going to be a collection of so many stories, so many artifacts, so many people who have lead the city and state in the past and have that recognized in that wonderful place and modernized and i can't forgot to say thank you to jordan for activating that place so beautifully during this temporary time and to continue doing that while we have this wonderful planning this grant to be used but also creating and identifying all the new partnerships moderating we can never do those kinds of great things by ourselves even as a city we call upon the citizenry those who love the past and link to the future we call upon our philanthropists

and the medical society and northern california hospital council kaiser permanente and sf health and chinese hospital and the projects and lastly ucsf this is trying to bring as many people pot center this is to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote executive list we'll partner with anyone where we think this is value who think they can benefit and contribute to sf can having said that, i know move on to introduce tom of the san francisco that department of health. >> thank you. >> (clapping.) >> good morning how are you doing one thing to recognize all of us are personally touched by cancer every single one of us my sister died of breast cancer when she was only 48 years old she had an uncommon - form of cancer that is more prevalence in latino woman and what is the diagnosed it is very aggressive and tends to effect latino women my mom died of lung cancer her on exposure was second-hand smoke okay. so for me this is very personal while we may not have been able to save may sissy know we could have prevents the lung cancer my mom had

we have no civil society channels. because the parliament and the party system are so tightly managed. we have no free speech channels. that is boiling very fast in a way that i think is far more dangerous than the situation in egypt before the uprising. i love your phrase that the leader is not a river to his people. river.ple are the not a bad way to summarize. >> try it. madeline isit until with me. do we have microphones? right here in the front. fourth row. please identify yourself so we can get a lot of questions in, -- please notify yourself. so we can get a lot of answers and, if you will keep the keepions short, we will the answers short. >> short questions come along answers. relationsh is civil between turkey, egypt, and israel. i think, listening to you, it's fascinating how you are describing analytically the arab world, but a lot of what you're cases onplies to other the periphery of the arab world or the core of the arab countries and turkey in particular, i argue it is going turned where it is turning i

there is not a lot of civil society. it's called socializing. one of the things which is really noteworthy about the u.s. labor market and the poorest war era is a large number people who left the labor market for a number of years and then returned successfully later on. most of them i think were probably called mother's. now what ever else you a mother who has at home. she has to be dependable. you have to keep a schedule all of these sorts of things if you look at them as skills are the sorts of things that employers tend to like you have to ask the question about what happens to the guys in the group either in education or training after a year or two a been out of the labor force. how do employers look at them and their skills. your solution largely you want to tweak the benefit programs to create more incentives for work. you're not against you are a little skeptical about whether that is the problem. mainly what i try to say at the end of this book is that it's important for people with all sorts of different policies to agree with one an

perception of -- society's perception of interracial relationships? >> they contribute to our conversations about race. i am interested in these depictions both for what they say about except in -- say about our beliefs about race , and the politics of race at any given moment. they reflect the norms, changing beliefs, changing values and these depictions, there is a symbolic struggle that is taking place on screen that really reflects broader also take place in american society. karen: president obama is the child of a mixed race marriage. many people theorize that because of his dual background, that he was able to become elected as president. >> having that background, he is the first black president and the first biracial president. he could really speak to multiple audiences. was raised partly by grandparents, by my white mother, who was a great influence and my grandmother from kansas, and really claim that as an important part. he has always been someone who has been very comfortable, speaking to different cultures and different people and real

so getting the judges to understand that gender discrimination was bad for society. of which i represented banana those cases where a test case it is where everyry day people to care for those disabled people in their home had a young son who is getting custody to apply for custody to be prepared for a man's world and then to become a custodian but then one day in a severe depression to ago one of his father's guns said to be appointed minister of the state they said the story this is with the idaho law says they are equally entitled to a minister males are preferred to the females. the great thing about the case to take it through three levels of the idaho courts. i did it involved until there was an appeal to the supreme court. but this was an everyday woman that what she conceived to be the obvious injustice if they did link edit then how would they allow that if president did not allow access. >> pour the man whose wife died in childbirth. with social security benefits when a child is left in the care the sole surviving parent. so steven also thought that was the

think the scenario you've described a description of every projects all the measures have a cost society with the them they'll been different for a variety of factors that's why we have so many miles an hour and the flexibility built in so for whatever reason our individual projects whether you're a nonprofit or profit service provider or a high-rise developer you can take into account the constraint you have and select the measures that work best for you and those projects as mentioned they tend too often not have the parking and i understand you've not be able to measure who occupies the space there are differences don't believe are captured in this ordinance you've seen the hardship on more businesses or nonprofits that serve low income communities that don't have a larger profit for a menu of options with the greatest impact of reducing the miles traveled it doesn't have to be resolved yet but look forward in terms of modifying in the future to address this issue we have to have the greatest impact to have a greatest menu of options. >> thank you. >> thank you supervisor avalos is th

he believed it was necessary in a democratic society. he put together what is probably the first people's lobby to pressure the massachusetts legislator into an acting savings bank insurance. and he learned little tricks as well. one time when he came to testify about insurance to a committee, he found the room practically empty and the committee members not particularly attending. -- attentive. he did not know why. and as he left, one of his colleagues said that the legislators had paid no attention because they did not have any of their constituents in the room. from that time on, he made sure that whenever he testified there would be people from each legislator's district in the audience and from then on, he had their attention. in january 1916, woodrow wilson nominated louis brandeis to the court and after one of the most contentious confirmation hearings, he was confirmed in june. and he would serve until he retired in 1939. there are so many aspects to that amazing 23 year career that it would take me a course to examine them close

my father was proud of the federalist society. he manifested this pride occasionally by claiming that he actually had established the federalist society and was responsible for its existence.

[applause] 25 years ago my father gained another friend, a great friend, and an ally who would support him and occasionally challenge him for a quarter of a century. it is impossible to fully appreciate my father's tenure on the court and his legacy without understanding his historic collaboration with justice thomas. what many consider to be my father's greatest opinion, his dissent in morrison v. olson did not impress his colleagues at the time. it did not get another vote. what a different court it became three years later when my father gained a colleague who shared his interest in originalism and in a constitution structure a
