involved in these different studies that are going on master's level of course and we have tons of undergrads as well and twenty five hundred are actually tied to the china people's liberation army that here's where the concern comes in and the concentration of these students here we have a little graphic for you where these compute students are actually going they're going to the five eyes nations which includes the united states britain australia new zealand and canada now if you don't know what the five eyes are they brought to the second world war these five nations decided to spy on everybody except each other together and to share all their information together so it's like one big bulk of countries that don't spy on each other but tend to look at what other people are doing looks like china is infiltrating if you believe this study and the diabolical means or the reasons behind it now the numbers have changed in two thousand and seven to the now you can see that these joint studies that have a bit of that have been happening so these are basically peer reviewed papers that were jointly

i ended up perhaps in part because of that experience coming here for my undergrad, and whatever you see me doing as a journalist much of that is owed to the university of kansas j-school, where i graduated. [applause] -- yeah, where i graduated in 2002. i was the last member i was a member of the last class in that j-school to receive an old-fashioned hard-as newspaper training. it was at the moment in what in curricula media convergence, the training was different, it was to equip students for the internet era in various media. what a fine school. and has a lot to do with where i am today. i doublemerged in english, and that's where i quat the know the delightful mary clater. i went to new york for a few years as people in my industry are encouraged to do. when i got there, there was a palpable sense i began to develop as a student at ku but that really came to a point in the more rarefied spaces that i encountered in new york city including columbia university where i went to graduate school a palpable sense of the otherness of where i came from somehow in those places and maybe e

i went to undergrad at ucla, you know, i guess i probably could have gone to uc berkeley, but that means living at home. so i was really eager to go to l.a. to get my education. and let's just be honest, ucla is the best school. in the state. i was happy to go there. i came back, i went to law school at tulane in new orleans. i came back, and worked in san francisco as a prosecutor. so, i was a d.a. here in san francisco. one of the very first people that i met that helped mentor me at the d.a.'s office was tippy, right here, one of the first few people that i met when i came back as a prosecutor working as a lawyer. so i worked at the district attorney's office for 17 years. don't do the math. it was a while ago. and i ultimately rose up from being a trial attorney and management, and i was kamala harris' chief while i was there at the district attorney's office, while she was the elected district attorney. and when she left the office, i left and then went into city hall, where i worked with our previous mayor, mayor ed lee, and i served as his deputy chief of staff. and i focused on p

undergrads later marched across campus to express their outrage. remember, kavanaugh is a yale alum, so this is particularly pathetic. >> very emotional during her opening statement and to be confronted with, the first thing that senator grassley said was he feels equally for brett kavanaugh, her alleged perpetrator as he feels for dr. ford, who has received death threats. >> and she feels unable to be safe even in her own home and feels there needs to be a way for people to exit, i find that really striking. it happened to her decades ago and she's still feeling the real effects of it today. >> laura: $75,000 a year for tuition at yale university. and at harvard university, yesterday associated dean catherine claypool announced that brett kavanaugh will no longer be teaching a course that he is taught in the past at the school. claypool claims that kavanaugh "can no longer commit to his course on the supreme court." no wonder. this is the university that last year, month after trump's election, hosted a resistance school featuring leftist activist

>> yes, when i was an undergrad, i got a history degree, and in law school, i think everybody is finding their niche, something that they feel comfortable with, and i remember when district of columbia, parker versus district of columbia came down from the pellet circuit, and the talk about the history of the right to arms, not only the history, it was central to the holding of the case. to the analysis, the legal analysis. and that drew me in, a history major, but, what confused me was, it was all very unfamiliar to me. stuff that to me, intuitively did not add up. however, of course, as any historian would, you start asking questions, how did you come to this, and start doing research. that is how i came to evolve, so i came to locate other misconceptions, things that the court misconstrued, and i began delving i would say about a year and a half, just spending times in the archives looking it up. i came to the conclusion at least as a matter of a constitutional understanding that the right was very incidentally tied to the militia and not necessarily distinct and only apply to individ

dartmouth undergrad. 18 years with the u.s. city police department.re you are, the chief of police in vermont. why do you do the work you do? what drives you? we talk so much about all the negatives and this is obviously a negative story. but you and your devotion to helping people and saving people is extraordinary. >> listen, i mean, at some level, it's a calling. i just swore in a deputy chief john mirad yesterday. he went into the private sector. made a lot of money and said i just don't care about the money. i think when americans feel they can trust their police leaders, they can trust their police departments, they can trust their mayors. when they feel there's a government out there really working for them compassionately to help them and save their lives, i think that people love that in their dna. i think that ability to do that type of work, just, i don't understand why i have to explain that. >> well, i certainly appreciate that you just did. this may be your calling and we're luckier for it. i appreciate it. thanks so much. coming up, we'

she is part of a group of friends who went to yale undergrad with kavanaugh and ramirez. they're in the same group of people, and she says that she has reached out to the fbi three times and has not heard back. now that the fbi says that they're going to expand this investigation, she's more hopeful that they will reach out, but as of a couple of ago, they have not yet. what she wants to do, she wants to present up to 51 text messages that she has between her and her friend karen ya yarasavage. so, karen and kerry, they both went to yale with kavanaugh, and these text messages ranged from july to september. and what they do show around september when this "new yorker" story was coming out that karen saying that brett and/or brett's guy has reached out, anticipating that the ramirez allegations would come out. and we talked to an expert on this, someone, brett bower, who is a former white house counsel in the obama administration, and says it is just very strange that they would allow brett to reach out on his own. usually when there's nominations like this, they have a te

after finishing undergrad, i worked as a community organizer in my hometown in michigan. went off to grad school and then served at the city of long beach in the city manager's office there and then moved here to san francisco and served for two-years in our planning department as senior planner and now i'm currently serving as the assistant to the city manager in the city of palo alto. so public service is really what i believe in and something i really value. and now as somebody who is not working in the city of san francisco, i have an opportunity to serve my community in a different way by serving on the board of appeals. i believe that my experience and my training as a planner, my education as a planner trained at m.i.t. and my ability to use and exercise judgment on important matters before the board of appeals makes me qualified for this position. i can bring my skills, my expertise and also my passion and my energy to this work and would be very honored to be accepted to this position. thank you. >> great. any questions for -- supervisor yee? >> good afternoon. >

loan forgiveness program for all those who like to seek a career in public service whether that's undergrad or grad and i'm support other calls for all act which would really help those going to community college or a four-year end-state universities. it would really help them get a leg up so they could choose the career path that was most relevant to the passion rather than the one that they had to choose because it's the only one they could afford to pay back to student loans and be able to live in a place like greater san diego. i want to also work with our local companies. she said of the day i was with of our larger -- >> we are not keeping caucuses, could be to keep your answers relatively short period. >> of course. very brief. the 40 to 50% of the innovation economy. biotechnological lifecycles, clean energy technology, i.t., aerospace and defense. i want to do everything i can so the companies don't need to look any further than our local schools, universities and vocational programs so mark and others like him can find that job in the 49th district and so they don't have such a hu

i think we're at a point now -- i was an english major as well, undergrad, you talk about post modernism and moving past truth. the idea was that this was going to be really great because we were overthrowing master narratives of kind of inherent ideas of gender or power or capitalism or these kinds of things, and we would be free out of these master narratives and we'd be in a area where the powerful wouldn't be able to control the narrative. well, we're here. this is what it looks like. right? in an area where you say how do we engage and talk about these issues when we won't share a world view of what counts as evidence? and when we are in an area -- again, this is where it moves toward religion. right? you would never say to someone -- i grew up, and i say i believe the lord jesus died for my sins. well, give me that evidence. right? there are some claims that are safe in our culture away from evidentiary claims, we're not going to have that argument. right? or maybe we will, but it is going to be uncomfortable. but that sense of belief has moved in many cases beyond what we would th

university of maryland and i have always voted and one of my -- one of the things i studied in my undergradgree at george washington university is the judicial election -- in judicial elections a few people participate in that begs the question of whether it is the .emocratic contest when you only have 40% or less of the electorate turning out, is that the democratic contest. those who do not vote are advocating civic duty of the colors have alluded to. we have localities in states. we will see a lot of that. guest: judicial elections are tough. you have a shift of appointments from having elections driven by spending and we do not know who is doing this spending. we have little information in the media communities about actions or decisions or effectiveness of judges. one might argue an appointment system provides a different set of judges that might be superior to low turnout elections which might not represent the full body of potential voters. host: let's hear from another caller. this is david in illinois. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? host: fine, thank you. 3 -- cal
