' law operating on the united states' official who is acting inside the united states. this case as far as the conduct is concerned, united states written all over it. nothing about mexico. the border patrol doesn't take its orders from mexico. >> i think it would be up to the united states to prosecute mr. neal criminally if they chose to do so. >> why? they wouldn't get any damages for the death of their 15-year-old son, for their emotional suffering. but i think i have to follow up on what justice ginsburg is saying, a more fundamental question. i don't think you or the u.s. government are suggesting that anyone is condoning people standing at the border and taking pot shots at passing mexicans. >> absolutely not. >> and yet, there is a criminal remedy for the government to vindicate its position. but why should there not be a civil remedy to ensure that border police are complying with the constitution? either under the fourth or fifth amendment, wouldn't shooting pop -- potshots at mexican citizens be shocking to the conscious? >> it is shocking. but where would t

how did you notify the state and vendors? >> depending on the scenario and information that we had, and did when weat we get classified information is related to classify as much as possible. for this particular one, what we took was technical information that we had that we believed was suspicious and emanating from russia in our system. he asked them to look at their system. this is part of the broader dissemination. we asked all states to look at their systems to identify if they had an intrusion or if they blocked it. in most cases, they blocked it. >> you have a copy of the notification you sent to most vendors or secretaries of state? >> i do not, but i can get it back to you. >> will you provide this committee with a notification? were done inem person. i can show you the technical information. that was rolled up in the information that we published in december. i can show you what we provided to the states and localities. >> to notify each of them in the same way, or did you tailor the notifications? for alller the pro

the state with the most connections is the central player, and the strongest state. what is the strongest today? what do we do with a state like north korea, arguably the least network, and least prone to persuasion and pressure even from the most important friends, namely china. is there an odd outlier by keeping itself out of the network north korea is making itself particularly resilient, if not just stubborn and isolated, also more difficult. >> it is exactly the way i think we need to think about power in the networked world or the web world, traditionally power, the size of your military, your territory, your population and in a networked world it is the number of connections and the quality of connections as well and i don't think there -- there is not necessarily one center because multiple states that are connected and think of a map of the internet, think of a number of portals, and lots of smaller ones, the united states today, if we don't harm ourselves by closing ourselves off from the world, if we remain open to the world while still protecting ourselves

and exiting the agreement protects the united states from future intrusions on the united states sovereignty. and massive future legal liability. believe me, we have massive legal liability if we stay in. as president, i have one obligation, and that obligation is to the american people. the paris accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. it is time to exit the paris accord. [applause] pres. trump: and time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens, and our country. it is time to put youngstown, ohio, detroit, michigan, and pittsburgh, pennsylvania along with many, many other locations within our great country before paris, france. it is time to make america great again. [applause] president trump: thank you. thank you. thank you very much. thank you very much. very important. i'd like to ask scott pruitt whom most of you know and respect as i do just to say a few words. scott, please? [applause] >> thank yo

that's all i know about what she intends to the state and she i the representative of the state, are not willing to fight this case, are they manufacturing adversity by appointing you? >> well -- >> if we have no adversity, hasn't this case become mooted? >> so let me -- let me tell you what happens next if the director actually grants -- issues a grant to a church. if she does, then under missouri's liberal taxpayer standing rules someone can then sue and say, "you are violating the state constitution." and if there is a determination that she was violating the state constitution, then the question before the court today would have to be answered. >> all right. >> do you agree that this court's voluntary cessation policies apply to the mutinous question? >> i agree it could apply, it is not a perfect fit. but certainly there's no assurance four years from now with a change in administration or at some point in the interim through a taxpayer standing suit that there wouldn't be a change back to the prior practice. >> mr. layton, i'm struggling still to understand justice cagan's ques

it's in the state department by the secretary of state. and so i would say his role is one of any other senior adviser in the west wing. he does -- he has freedom and i've invited him as i have others, serving the national security adviser, mcmaster and others, if there ato call, if t issues that arise in the west wing. let me know so we have visibility so we can talk about how we want to address those. >> do you have any instances where he hasn't coordinated with state or yourself before engaging in discussions with foreign nationals or officials? >> you'd have to ask him as to whether he has. >> thank you, mr. secretary. you spoke earlier about the working relationship with china in terms of north korea. and there have been positive steps. i want to congratulate you on your work in that regard. but one of my concerns is the fact that as china might move away from trade, opportunities, to try to pressure north korea, russia seems to be creeping in with those, you know, replacing that vacuum. with their own trade opportunities and other int

the 2018 state department budget submitted to congress by the secretary of state. calls for 32% cut to our international affairs budget. i've never seen a budget proposal so reckless in all the years i have been here so it's insulting to our personnel and quick to have bipartisan opposition. mr. secretary when we spoke he said we hope to put the state department glide path to reduce spending levels. a one third cut is more like a nosedive. imagine being an american diplomat learning this is the value the administration puts on your service would imagine waking up every morning a dangerous place and the other side world knowing the officials responsible for your safety haven't even been nominated and america's top diplomat which is you mr. secretary coming to umatilla asked us for a 32% budget cut. some consequences of his budget will hit us down the road if we fail to invest in diplomacy and develop now. the concepts welcome back to us and the worst we'll need to fight. senator lindsey graham said it well and that will make him implement this budget to put a lot of

so they would be valuable to the state. sec. tillerson: indeed. >> one example of what's been read into the budget by some people when they have seen consolidation of departments and responsibilities without the future result is you have the economic support fund and the development assistance account merged into one fund without any change of the authorization for the fund. a new name called the economic support and development fund. will our 2019 show the results of the mergers, not just in terms of financially but reauthorization for the departments? you are not just going to redo the budgets but restructure the departments and the mission too, i assume? sec. tillerson: that would be the intent coming out of this redesign. as all of you well know, we have a number of bureaus that have common missions, some of them have overlapping missions. not true just within the state department, but we have that with other agencies, as well. this exercise is also to identify where we have overlapping missions with defense, agriculture, dep

this is back to seeing the united states as both a unitary country but a country of 50 states at the same time. we benefit as a nation having our states be able to forge relationships with other countries or states around the world. i think chicago has more sister states and that is a form of social power. it helps with the culture and flow of ideas. what you have to make sure is a state or city can't get you n trouble. the reason the founders insisted the foreign affairs powers be listed with the states is they didn't want them to refuse. that could get us into war with britain. it is a balance. i tend to favor more autonomy for states and cities because again in the web world you simply have to allow more independenc independence. but you wouldn't want california making a deal with china that might imperil our defense capacity other undercutting other states economically. >> it is a diverse system as we diagnose in. i want to dig in for a couple more questions on networks thep selves. the fitting has been looking at this and i noticed mark zuckerberg talked about this yesterday in h

not all of the states are doing that. but some of them really are pursuing those kinds of strategies. >> mike, i know that you have a few thoughts about how you feel states are doing in this respect. i have seen you write about how you feel, you know, they could be doing better when it comes to high achieving students. where do you think there is room for improvement for what you are seeing and is there a state that you think is being particularly innovative. >> it's great to be here with you all today. i would have worn my flashy jacket. just kidding. but i always look forward to the ewa. you love twitter. i love twitter. you are my favorite peeps. and when it comes to q and a, i hope somebody asks linda about her son who is the american ninja warrior superstar. >> competing in las vegas. >> back to essa. i think when we look at these plans. and especially when it comes to the ratings, a couple of things that i hope you ask, is the first one whether or not it does a good job helping parents and t taxpayers, understand if

again this is back to seen the united states as both the unitary country and a country 50 states. at the same time we benefit as a nation having our state be able to afford to relationships with other countries or states run the world. think about the sister cities network. i think chicago has more sister cities than any other city in the country. all of our big cities have those relationships, that is a form of soft power. that is people learning about the united states and helped with trading culture and the flow of ideas. but what you need to make sure is that a state or city cannot get you into trouble. the reason the founders insisted the foreign affairs power be located with the federal government was that they did not want states refusing to pay british creditors. the states were sympathetic to american debtors after the revolution. so it's a balance, i tend to favor more autonomy for states and cities because in the web world you simply have to allow more independence. i am mindful that you would not want california making a deal with china that might imperil our defense ca

2018 budget request for the state department. members of the senate foreign relations committee had questions about those budget cuts, sanctions against countries doing business with north korea, and future relations with russia. it was also at this hearing were secretary tillerson announced the release of an american college student who had been imprisoned in north korea since march of last year. >> the foreign relations committee has come to order. banging] tillerson, we appreciate you being here. we were having a discussion about the timing issue. we have a lot of other things happening today, and i would like to finish this in one roun d. so what i think i'm going to do, i think what we will do, let's put six minutes on the clock, and if we really need to have a second round for some reason, we will. i'm open to discussion about that right now -- >> i think six minutes sounds fair on the first round. i don't want to preclude a member on either side that believes they need additional time for a second round, but i would encoura

the big picture is state's rights. normally the folks on the other side of the aisle are all for states' rights. they are for states' rights when it comes to voting rights. they are for states' rights when it comes to civil rights. they are for states' rights on all kind of stuff that generally tend to tamp down the lower economic folk in our country, particularly in the south. but here on medical malpractice, which has always been a province of the state, they want to usurp it and make a federal standard that applies to everybody. and if a state hasn't set a cap on damages, then the federal cap of $250,000 will go into place. if you have a state that has -- it says is unconstitutional to have a cap because you have a right to a jury trial, then you be able to have that cap and you'll have this $250,000 cap set. there are all kind of problems with federalism. be all kind of problems with people who have been injured getting compensated and other problems. i yield back the balance of my time. go, tigers. the chair: the g

, is that to say the most networked state would be the strongest state? what is the strongest network state today? what do we do with the state like north korea which is arguably the least networked, but therefore also apparently, esters we can tell, least prone to suasion and pressure, even from its most important friend, namely, china? is there an odd outlier that by keeping itself out of the network, north korea is making itself particularly resilient? or if not just stubborn and isolated, is it also then more difficult to move? >> guest: now, it's exactly the way i think we need to think about power in the networked world, or the web world, that traditionally power is your size, the size of your economy, the size of your military, the size of your territory under population. and in a networked world it is the number of connections. and i would say the quality of connections as well. at a don't think there can be any, there's not necessarily one center. because there are multiple states that are connected. and he can think about a map of the internet. y

>> guest: that is what the states were present. they represent wade controls at $7.50 per hour they won't let people unionize. it's democracy with a difference in america that we used to have6 in the 50s and 60s.s it's very informative to see the response that we are seeing. you're not thinking you can't care for people. we just heard an explanation that if you are a red state, from two different individuals, but you don't have what is needed for the country and thatt isn't true. it's red states and blue states and the right to work is elevated more in oklahoma. i understand this polarization that we are seeing is difficult. but if in fact we have a convention in the states thatme first affordable government. you don't think you ought to pay for your medicare. we can say that isn't what we are trying to do, but that is: what we are trying to do. >> host: the constitution allows for the argument this is around the representational government. >> guest: this is exactly what the founders intended. they knew that at some point in time,

what is see the states position on that? >> i'm glad you asked about raqqa, instead of focusing on social media. raqqa and syria is incredibly import. that's a top security position for the united states. for folks run the global have not followed this closely, it is considered to be one of two capitals for isis. attacks in europe have been plotted from raqqa, it is a ground zero for isis. the attacks were plotted from nissan brussels as well. this operation was launched today from the syrian democratic forces, we expect the fight to be long and difficult. we are confident in the ability of the coalition backed by the united states to be able to take out isis from the stronghold and eventually be able to return the city of raqqa to the people to which it belongs. >> congratulations on your new position. you mention about kabul, what is the expectations? to think it is going to be useful? >> thank you. thirty international partners including the united states attended the kabul process on peace and security. this is taken plac

the state department can lead the effort as a state sponsor of terror. they are considered a sponsor of terror. i would hope that would be on your radar to do. they are doing bad things throughout the world. on behalf of terrorism and destroying human rights of many people, i would like to know what the plan is. do we support peaceful regime change. there are iranians in exile all over the world. is the u.s. position to leave things as it is? i want to mention russia. i was in georgia in 2008 after they invaded. georgia took one third in the world said that's not nice and nothing happened.ba they're in eastern ukrainene now. is that unlawful and still unlawful and those territories must be returned.r are go are we just going to accept the russian invasion of those territories. the last thing i want to mention is pakistan play in this, we give them money and that money ends up in the hands of bad guys who hurt americans. they get 500 million a year not counting the military.e they also should be removed from the major non- ally status that they have. i kno

one of the things with teacher evaluations is that most states, teachers9.5% of the getting an ok on their teacher evaluations. state farm is trying to figure out a way to make the evaluations -- states are trying to figure out way to make evaluations more challenging to figure out how to make them more effective, what role they play, all very important questions with no easy solutions with onee union officials in we're talkin. host: daarel they identifyow teachers under the rules of the very student 16th act -- succeeds act. teachers can call (202) 748-8000 , administrators, (202) 748-8001 , parents, (202) 748-8002 call 0 especially atges, the hbcus, and making sure they put out quality products, of of ani am a product hbcus, and when i graduated, it was very much a quality product. skills, however today, colleges are going to have to start their college-level at the university graduate level after they graduate, all the colleges have to make sure they put out a quality product. i am also very much concerned -- i was trained as a guidance counselor for student personnel and services,

they invest in the united states and many other places around the world. is use their funds, as most states do, in order to advance their economic interests and in other ways as well. including pakistan, saudi arabia, iran, lebanon, tunisia, and israel, but he also served as the u.s. investor to yemen. why factory such a hot spot for terrorism? -- why is that countries such a hotspot for terrorism? well, ungoverned space, and this goes back to the conversation about the root causes of violent acting as an and terrorism. in yemen you have an impoverished population, where opportunities are few, where government services have failed, so health and education were not available for a majority of the population. the government was unable to maintain law and order in many parts of the society. and these are the kinds of , whether and countries it is yemen or libya or elsewhere, where these violent extreme is organizations are able to take root. ,hey provide services to people they feel in the gaps where the government has failed, and that way they build adherence

the reality is, our state, if you will, as defined by the chesapeake a. r state is defined by its western mountain. our state is committed to ensuring our environment is present both for the future of our children but the future of the planet. we have already seen epa chief henchmenonald trump's for the environment, attacked the chesapeake bay plan. first from oklahoma before he was even the federal government, and now the epa funding slashed. the simple fact is, we are all commanded to look after the garden. we are all bound to this planet and to its future. we must lead from where we are. that means in our city governments, county governments, and state governments. the prepare to protect our environment, including taking the rare action of signing onto ,lobal agreements as a state when our federal government fails to act, when it is led by people who would rather stick their head in the sand than open their eyes and admit that climate change is being caused by human behavior and we can stop it. amy: former naacp president ben jealous, now running for go

it is the only city in the united states. every branch. their high school, they have basically seven applicants for every seat. 80% graduation rate. when i just told you already just last year -- not the year they closed but the year before where it is nearly 74%, and they have a 90% college acceptance. every school is a one or level one plus school. so the armed forces, so it is not just when we say it we have also the largest junior rotc program in the united states of america, 10,500 kids. lastly, let me close on one thing. when i talk about all that we have done and what we've accomplished, i believe firmly in the power of education. none of us would be in this room if we didn't have two things in common, the love of our parents and a good education. as mayor i have a responsibility to ensure that every child has a chance to succeed, and i have to make sure that the system and the structure and the support and our principals have what they need to succeed. we did expand the school day. we had the shortest school day and the shortest sch

and exiting the agreement protects the united states from future intrusions on the united states' sovereignty. and massive future legal liability. believe me. we have massive legal liability if we stay in. as president, i have one obligation. and that obligation is to the american people. the paris according would undermine our economy, ham string our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us as a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. it is time to exit the paris accord.

>> no, i don't have a problem with the state chipping in for that. 's good for the region, it's good for our economy, it makes philadelphia look like an international city, so i don't have a problem with that. it was disturbing. look, it's nothing wrong with giving bonuses to people that work hard, but this looks to be a decision that was made by a very small group of people. it should be done on a contract in advance that if we have money left over and you've met these goals, then you get a bonus. to do this willy-nilly looks like, "let's just give the rest of the money we have away without regard to taxpayers." >> they also gave some to charity and to other deserving -- books for the city schools. >> they gave to nonprofits, and also money to the city, as well. >> $500,000 back to the city. but i think this was all a question of tone. when this first became known, if governor rendell had just said, "you know what? this wasn't transparent enough. we should have been more transparent about it", it would have been a one-day story, blip on the screen, a

i am confident that the u.s. state department and usaid will continue to deliver results for the american people. i thank you for your time and am happy now to answer your questions. >> thank you. i'm going to use just a portion of my time i think. if you could, since there will be an appropriations process that's underway soon, when do you expect to have the -- your thoughts together on how the state department itself will be reorganized? >> senator, as i indicated, we've just completed an important listening phase. >> right. >> i have had an initial readout. i will get a final report. i'm interviewing a couple of individuals who will come in and help us now with the next stage, which is the redesign effort itself, which will be -- which will involve the colleagues in the state department and usaid. that effort, likely we'll have that framed over the course of the summer. the effort itself will likely cut underway sometime in august/september time frame when we have our pathway forward, the process, how we want to eng

[applause] and time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens and our country. it's time to put youngstown, ohio, detroit, michigan and pittsburgh, pennsylvania along with many, many other locations within our great country before paris, france. it's time to make america great again. thank you.

a week pledge from the united states, full of loopholes. that was to accommodate the united states. e paris agreement was nonbinding. it was voluntary. the pledges would lead to a warming of at least three degrees. it is to be strengthened. that was under president obama's watch. to accommodate the united states, i think one of the powerful lessons of this is that long is a tradition in a history of american exceptionalism within climate action. and the rest of the world has to move faster and more ambitious, and leave the u.s. behind. the reaction you're seeing now has been strong and positive,e, both from governments, but also social organizations and civil society where people are committed and recognizing the real change will come not necessarily from donald trump, but from the grassroots within the united states. this is that for the people of the united states. the temperature increase of one degree warming around the world 's leading to killer floods and droughts all of the world. the arctic melting, coral being bleached. , nothas huge implications just on the poorest parts of

the discussion. >> next, secretary of state rex tillerson is asked about the trump administration's plans to cut the state department budget by 31%. secretary tillerson also talked korea,anctions on north given policies, -- cuban policies. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2017] >> foreign relations committee will come to order. mr. tillerson, mr. secretary, we appreciate you being here. we're having a discussion about the timing issue. we do have a lot of other things happening today and i really would like to finish this in one round. so what i think i'm going to do without -- i think what we'll do senator, carden, if it's okay with you, let's put six minutes on the clock and if we need a second round, we can do that. >> i think six minutes sounds fair on the first round. i don't want to preclude a member on either side that believes they need additional time from a second round from having a second round. but i would encourage our members to be

here in the united states -- here the united states is answer in mexico. in boumediene, the court said -- justice ginsburg: you did say in your brief that the united states is answerable to mexico for any cross-border use of force. how is the united states answerable to mexico? mr. kneedler: mexico holds us accountable for doing something about it. we investigated criminally and concluded that a criminal prosecution should not be brought, but mexico regards it as the united states' responsibility to control this conduct. justice ginsburg: the responsibility to mexico is prosecution in the united states? that's -- mr. kneedler: to control the conduct, yes. and let me just re-emphasize where congress has decided the damage remedies are important, it has never provided for judicial remedies. it has provided for administrative remedies and not done it in this context. justice kennedy: you wanted to talk about the fourth amendment? mr. kneedler: yes. this court's decision in verdugo, as we read in this, established a categorical rule that the fourth amendment do

that's the reality of the state. if someone is saying you are cutting medicaid, in real dollars they are not telling the real truth. it's an inaccurate depiction of what we have done. and my guess is that's what's been going on today in the hearing. where we are trying to get control of the threat to our nation, which is our nationall debt, and we're trying to provide to our providers stable funding stream that grows, and lets them to the medicaid program and the state manage how best to provide for their citizens in the state, empowering governors who actually closer, and medicaid is -- it just compels me to raise that much time is almost over, but i would in on this. this is from a report, and i can provide it to the minority. i'm not asking for it to be submitted into the record, but current projections, no resume was to a picture in which people are struggling to been on medicaid would lose the benefits are to the contrary cms estimates that medicaid involvement would stay roughly constant at current levels under

the united states senator from florida. he is a member of the committee on appropriations and the committee on foreign relations and he has a resume much longer that i am not going to keep reading. but to us a leader on international affairs. somebody who our country turns to to hear where we should be going on these issue. and for us today at aei we are proud that he has been a leader on issues that are of importance to us. the report is you are going to hear a lot more about it than you are going to hear from me at this very moment. but this is a report that is a little bit different than things you usual see coming institute. it's very practical. it's very tactical. it's very focused on what we can do in the here and the now and the main reason for that is frankly, transactional organized crime is an issue that we have not spent a great deal focusing on as a country. it is at the next us of a whole series of national security threats to our country. it degrades democracy, it degrades our national security. it degrades our

i would love to the state budget and the united states government backing this up. hat's how we're going to do it and we will increase the quality of our students and, more important, for the students that don't going to northwestern they are not just coming out with an associates degree. they are coming out with a degree that was designed by the industry, so they know the credentials, and they are not just getting a job but if they're in healthcare they're getting a job that's a career that leads them to the middle class. key difference. you're in healthcare, you want to be a nurse, we've got a way to do it. second, you want to bounce yourself up in a higher grade of a nurse, we have an educational system. so we are more than just a job. we are a career that helped get of the economic ladder. >> with the new requirements for students starting in 2020 if a student doesn't present these qualifications -- >> they go to that women's families house. we're just sending them over to her home. [laughing] >> will they be considered a a dropout or what are there alternatives?

state. but you still have to follow the laws enacted by that state. host: are you spooked now when you go out to public events? guest: maybe a little more alert than i was before. i've always before very security conscious. i remember seeing the shooter sitting on the bench at one of the previous practices. i didn't realize that it was him until obviously after the shooting. i saw his face. he was sitting on the bench. trained security personnel who are with members, they pick up on some of those cues. they're very observant. i've gone through security training. one of the reasons didn't run into the dugout is because some of the training that i had received. refer to as a kill box. you get observant. i've gone through into an enclosed concrete area like that where a bullet can come in, bullets can bounce around and get you. as i was running, immediately i thought about that in my training. don't get in that dugout. i'm not criticizing those who did. they were getting to cover. i wanted to get something that provided me a better escape route and was i

the same thing with the appropriate of the state and we call it the islamic state. lam is not christianity and its formation may take a different shape. it's from the intellectuals and people in the west and the religious resolution best selling points. you don't have to face that much that would lead to the results that people expect. >> we are using the word reformation in the same way that it would be used then no except with the ignorance of history we would have no expectation that it would be nonviolent. it is extremely violent, and my goodness, the number of times in my discussions with supporters, they would say things that had parallels with the reformation that ceased to surprise me when they found something new to bring up in that type of comparison. it's never comforted me to find that that was the parallel that was occurring. millions of europeans and the end of that conflict, the result after the exhaustion of the continent by violence. in the reformation movement it's possible they could have the same kind of trajectory. martin luther also found that t

i know they were actually hostages involved in efforts to get justice from the state and incarcerate people -- people incarcerated in attica were involved, talk a little bit about what happened in the aftermath? >> part of the extraordinary thing about the story the whole thing starts in 1971, depends five dais and probably the next 20 years the nation doesn't hear a lot about goes on but what's beginning on is the state of new york is filing cases not against the troopers who have killed people and tortured people but against the prisoners for rebelling. so the first thing that happens is criminal trials against the criminals and their attempts to then in turn sue the state or put on hold and can't do anything while the criminal trial proceeds. the hostages are swindled and they are handed the meager checks and told that they'll be -- go ahead just get a little groceries, take care of yourself, we will take care of you, $120 checks, 40-dollar checks meant that they quote, unquote elected a remedy. once they cashed them, they couldn't sue a state. many years prisoners were fighting fo

obviously the states see their own but the federal agency works with the state their the prime agency to do that. >> for election in cybersecurity that leads the partnership. >> they called you for your appearances here today in your testimony being former secretary of state my biggest concern was voter fraud unfussy participation decrease so is is there any reason anybody has the knowledge that you have from the intelligence community give you any doubt that russia was involved with the confidence level that voters have? to any of you have any doubts?. >>. >> no doubt from the fbi and. >> we have no doubts. >>. >> also during that 20 election cycle would you notify me to be on the lookout?. >> the products that we put out the public the primarily leveraging which has connections to all 50 states and we engaged with the commission that represent those individuals that we have not historically engaged with to put out multiple products. >> so oh to disperse that information and?. >> we also hold a conference call were all 50 secretary of state did not have that responsibility in august

this is nearly 10% of all blm managed lands in the unite. -- united states. 2016, they designated a .2 million acres, the most acreage since 1980. this is one example of designations that limit how public lands may be used. responsible energy production and conservation need not be mutually exclusive. that is why it is vitally important to restore our mission and strike the appropriate balance in on shore leasing that allows for job creation in rural america. this is about restoring balance. under secretary zinke, the department and the blm have been proactive in prioritizing responsible energy production on public lands. including by secretarial order. order 3349 aims to remove duplicative burdens on energy production. while promoting job growth for hard working american families. order 3352 will jump start alaskan energy production in the national petroleum reserve alaska, helping to unleash energy protection of -- potential. these efforts have already shown to be effective. under the secretary's leadership the blm has had more lease sales offered more acre

which are nothing recommendations that go back to the states and three quarter of the states would have to approve that. i so what it does is the relief and bawled for the a states when there is no longer rebalance power between the three branches but also no longer a balanceof of power because 60 percent on average of the states when they raise money than the federal bureaucrats tell them how they have to spend at. so this is about the balancing the bridges in washington in a relationship between the states and the federal government. >> with congress on the application of the legislature which shall be valid and it goes on from there so how many states are currently selling don?. >> you have 34 then congress does not have a choice they have to call a convention of the state's which means each state gets one vote on anything that happens then whichever comes out of that has to coincide with the application there is already jurisprudence so if you apply for those three areas you cannot go outside of those areas. >> in our application to limit the scope and jurisdiction to force financia

the united states was trying to isolate the united states and convince people that all of the talk about wanted to pursue peace was a centrifuge. during the 70's, i think one of the arguments i make in the book is that nixon, -- i think i come across as being surprisingly pro- ex-kissinger in this book. it was not my intention. i think that opening china was a very important moment that changed the world. i think what nixon understood was the importance of status to china in a way that his predecessors did not. when he reached out to china he really found ways that china could seek rapprochement with the united states while retaining their status. they are interesting -- the chinese would make these strong pro-afro-asian anti-imperialist statements in the united nations. kissinger would say yes, we realize you have to do that. you need to maintain your credibility in the third world. kissinger actually want china to maintain their credibility in the third world at this point. they think it could be useful against the soviet union. it is a complicated dynamic. they are always central to c

that's my recollection. >> intrusion of the state systems? >> into the dnc. >> okay. >> the -- and i recall very clearly that there was a delay between that initial contact with the dnc and when the report got to me as secretary of dhs. it may had been that there were others at the staff level in dhs who were privy to this before it filtered up to me in an intelligence report but that is my recollection. >> let's ignore the dnc for the moment. let's talk about the attempts at scanning or whatever the russians did with respect to the election system. voter registration document. when was that discovered and who discovered it and if it wasn't dhs -- >> my recollection is that the initial scanning and probing around voter registration systems was discovered in late august. could have been july. but late august in my mind and my recollection is that once it was discovered, that information came to me and other senior people pretty quickly. >> okay. >> the -- is there enough of a -- one thing for the director and the secretaries to have good person

the states are only going to have two choices. they are either going to have to cut people off and limit services -- and remember three-quarters of the people are disabled, elderly, and children -- or they are going to have to raise taxes on their own citizens. we're claiming that we're going to reduce the deficit by $8 billion over ten years by passing this bill. but we're just shifting the bill to the states. that's nice work if you can get it. why don't we shift the cost of the air force to the states? that would make the federal budget look better. but it's not al real savings to our citizens if they have to pay out of their pocket to their home state or city or pay part of their income taxes. that's a smoke screen to tell people we are cutting government expenditures. no. we are shifting them to another level of government where you will have to pay for them as well. but to get back to medicaid. 70% of the nursing home residents in maine are covered by medicaid. who are they? they are people who can't be cared for at home any

obviously at the framing, the first amendment didn't apply to the states. but the -- >> all right, suppose it was in the district of columbia. >> so your honor, a kindergarten -- first of all, i don't know that there's a first amendment right to visit a kindergarten. that's fundamental here. this law only applies in the places where everything that happens is a first amendment activity. whether it's receiving information, speaking, associating, petitioning. when some -- >> suppose the law simply said that someone who was a sex offender could not communicate with a minor. on social media. would you agree to that that would be constitution at? >> i think my first answer is it would be much less restrictive and that shows why this law is unconstitutional, right? that's exactly what the prosecutor -- >> does it concern you -- >> sure. >> -- the safety of children? i'm asking you, yes, of course it's less restrictive. would it be constitutional? no communication with a minor? >> so i think it probably would be, your honor. i think the difference here is if you ta

when the program was first started, the funding was ample for states that were just ramping up the program but very quickly, by 2002, some states began to see shortfalls in the funding. we saw mismatch between the allotments and state needs in terms of their coverage. that was not unexpected in some respects, congress didn't know how many states would pick up the chip program, with participation rates would be but it gives us an example of what happens when you have a mismatch in funding. georgia reluctantly frozen moment from march until july 2007 on only lifted the freeze after they pass the supplemental budget. florida frozen roman for just five months. during those five months, 44000 children, chip children, were placed on a waiting list. when it was reauthorized in 2009, there was strong support from the congress to avoid those kinds of shortfalls and enrollment freezes. they provide an ample funding and revamp the system for distributing dollars. built-in new adjusters. it built in contingency funding and a new system for redistributing funds across the state. that funding formula ha

if it is within the state bound and so on, then the constitutional view is as a matter of state entity that is in regulation. >> host: let's talk about the first principle. people do care about the stuff don't learn from some of these, so who are your favorite people in the book that talk about that you want people to know about? >> guest: i like the story of luther martin he was the original federalist most people don't know much about him. he was an interesting guy and was drunk almost all the time and was a successful lawyer, started in virginia, went to maryland and then became the longest-serving attorney general and was also a delicate to the constitutional convention. he was so notorious for his drinking that one of the clients demanded as a condition of the agreement between the client and lawyer that luther martin refrain from drinking throughout the representation. soap luther martin got around this by taking a loaf of bread and then eating a piece of the bread whenever he felt as a lifelong mormon that doesn't drink i find this quite curious. but luther martin foresaw the fa
