if you ask me how i think about elections, what i think works, i believe what i just said to you about information technology being unbelievably important. but the second thing we have gotten away from his grassroots. i'm a believer in direct contact with voters. the fact next gen is the largest youth voter mobilization outfit in american history means that other people were trying to do that. in fact, there was a huge hole, in terms of american democracy. young people were voting at less than half the rate of other americans. less than one in five voted in 2014. that's not a representative democracy. for me, when i look at the election in 2020, the question to me is not, how do you get that swing 1% or 2% who could vote democratic as opposed to republican? the question is, how about the 50% of americans who don't vote? who believe the system is broken? the way i was saying. and talk to them about how we can take back the democracy and what that will mean for them and their families and their communities. that's what i believe in. i believe in turnout, i believe in reinvigorating democ

i believe in minimum standards for wages and maximum standards for hours, and believe such standards prove. i am in favor of the regulation of intrastate utilities and banking, the security markets. i believe in federal pensions an adequate old-age benefits, and in unemployment allowances. i believe the federal government owes a duty to adjust the position of the farmer with that of the manufacturer. if this cannot done by parity prices, than some other method must be found without too much regimentation of the farmer's affairs. i believe in the encouragement of cooperative buying and selling, and the full extension of rural electrification, and i believe the federal government owes a very strong obligation to preserve our natural resources. what i do not base my claim to liberalism solely upon my support of such reforms. american liberalism does not consist merely of reforming things. it consists primarily in making things. we must substitute for the philosophy of distributed scarcity, the philosophy of unlimited productivity. i stand for the restoration of full production and reempl

so if you ask me how i think elections what i think works, of course, i believe what i just said to you about beingation technology unbelievably important, but the second thing we've gotten away from is grassroots. i'm a believer in direct contact with voters. fact that next gen is the largest youth voter in american outfit history means other people weren't trying to do that. huge, you know, hole in terms of american democracy, at lessople were voting than half the rate of other americans. in 2014. 1 in 5 voted and that's not a representative democracy. so to me when i look at the election in 2020, when i look at every single election the question to me is not how do you 2% whichswing one or votes to go democratic as opposed to going republican, the 50% ofn is how about the americans who don't vote, who believe the system is broken, was saying? i and tell them how we can take the democracy and what that will mean for their families and communities. that's what i believe in. turnout, i believe in reinvigorating democracy. i believe in putting the power back to the people of the united s

i do believe in the closure? yes, i do. i believe tha that and i believe locking kids is not the way to reform. i mean, i raised three kids on my own and i never spanked them or locked them up and they're great people. i believe there is alternative ways of dealing with youth. we have to start in the family. that's the main thing. i'm going to help present a way to find out how we help the families involved in our communities. and one last thing, i wanted to hetch to create a more safe and less punitive program for our kids and i'll be here to help if i'm chosen in your efforts to cree tivcreate that system and e our kids get what they need and ultimately the city of san francisco should be save and thriving for a better tomorrow. thank you. samuel carr, seats 10 and 11. >> i'm not samuel carr. he had some things he needed to address with his son at

i. believe that we had. yes i would like to give a bit of context just a bit more context on what the quit using one mean the better candidate for the war was a font point that philip meant most of the people can't be in was in those old during the period at which is the power of the political party in power most will be it was embers all you mean what you feel is government and what we have been asking for like i was seeing so you know i know how it's for accountability on what's happening on the people can you be and i'm also going to butt in but it will be the 1st report and the 2nd point there are companies that were told by the current president which are in wallowing in that little opposition that it i mean are you going to let me when i really don't realize it's really been you so good but i need a little less you know i don't believe a lot so i guess we only have so much time when i hear you make the point these allegations are minister i know that at time wants to speak to you as well. i know i need

all, i think that -- [cheers and applause] >> look, what i believe, what i hope is that as israel formsoingnt, that to have a new opportunity to ensureth our ally, to that there is not unilateral we pursue ahat two-state solution, which as you all know has been the approach the united states has taken for a very long time and used to have strong support, i think, on sides of the aisle. and so my hope is that we can don'tike crazy so that we get to that point. i would not take it off the table. but, you know, i want to focus on what we can do hopefully with a new government and a new 2021dent in january of that is willing to work with our allies to avoid that. [applause] want to push you on this a little bit, because i think, you know, ben and i have fairly clear about our beliefs about prime minister netanyahu, but i think there's a sense that on the peace process question, they won't be as hope.ent as people might and, you know, historically conditionedaid be in many places, including on the palestinian authority, to into incentivizing behavior. the american taxpayer is doing, $3.8 bil

i don't believe employers though Ãour end goal isn't that employers offer healthcare. t's that we have a single-payer health care system. right now, without a single-payer health care system, i think employers should offer healthcare. although i think, the reason i believe that is because healthcare is a right. without the liable - - reliable access to healthcare. it's how we deal with some of the barbarism . people died because they can't afford insulin and so on. a i refuse to accept in america, that it allows people to die because they can't afford prescription medications. >> congresswoman, as far as the impeachment is concerned. do you think congressman schiff had a rocky rollout as far as dealing with the whistleblowers claim ahead of time to now we are finding out otherwise. >> i don't think it's rocky because all of this is in complete compliance with whistleblower laws. and there's nothing out of the norm about that. this whistleblower followed all of the laws of protocol we have established forwhistleblowing . followed all the proper channels. it was vetted an

i believe that's most likely to move people. no matter what their views are. >> i want to bring in shea diamond. a singer song writer from l.a. she currently supports mayor pete buttigieg. what's your question? >> it's shia diamond. so the first thing i would like to say is the national transvisibility march happened last week. and we didn't see much representation from sis gender people. and we want to know if you are elected as president, will you have a group of transgender people to counsel you or advice you? >> shea. >> i would do that. in this campaign, we have been making sure to reach out to people in including transgender individuals as i speak out on issues important to the lgbtq community and important to the forward progress as a country. also i think one of the things that is important to voters is people's track records. every time i have had the opportunity to in public service i have worked to expand equality. when i was mayor of san antonio for instance we passed a non-discrimination ordnance in 2013. ground brea

i believe to secretary pompeo that raises this question. and it's something which senator rubio and i discussed earlier about whether we can and whether we should reimpose -- use the 2231 to trigger the snap-back of the sanctions. i've raised this with our legal adviser's office. i know it's been in discussion with the nsc legal adviser. it's a question of -- it's a procedural question and interpretation of 2231 that turns definition of what some of the various terms are like participant and other things. i think that yours is a very plausible reading. what we have done since leaving the deal is to allow the other countries to decide whether to stay in the deal. obviously, i think that even as the french foreign minister said recently on the attacks of obcak it is a seminel event and something we should watch. >> you have my full authority to invoke the snapback sanction, and i think that we should with this recent attack from saudi arabia to invoke the snapback sanction, and that is a natural response. second question, you and i have had mu

(applause) tommy, in light of that belief, this is what i believe. t many months in a kibitzing in israel. i believe absolutely, not only in the right of israel to exist, but the right of israel to exist in peace and security. but what i also believe is the palestinian people have a right to live in peace and security as well. (applause) and it is not let me underline this because it will be misunderstood it is not anti-semitism to say that the netanyahu government has been racist. (applause) that is a fact. that is a fact. so, what i believe, at a time when we spend $3.8 billion in military aid to israel, we have a right to say to the israeli government that the united states of america and our taxpayers and our people believe in human rights, we believe in democracy, we will not accept authoritarianism or racism, and we demand that the israeli government sit down with the palestinian people and negotiate an agreement that works for all parties. (applause) so, my proposal in terms of israeli-palestinian efforts, it is not a radical proposal all it sa

to achieve what i believe the line. to achieve what i believe the team could and we didn't do that andi the team could and we didn't do that and i have got to stand by what i said. belgium's nicolas colsaerts has ended a 7—year title drought to win the french open on sunday, finishing on 12 under par. he only managed a one over par 72 in the final round and demark‘sjb hansen looked like he might threaten for the title.

every once in a while providence does clear and i believe it will as we say in our book when rove v. wade is a memory. chapter five if i may say it's perhaps the spine of this book, and it's very simpatico with my own role that focuses on the family, nearly eight years at the white house and a little over ten years in the united states senate. restoring marriage, family, parenting and social capital. and i want to be very clear in this regard if i may. these are the innumerable institutions, marriage, family, parenting is the first pillar of our civilization. there is nothing now or ever can or ever will replace the family. restoring the concept of the gentleman. i was doing a radio interview this morning with the great hillsdale, and the interviewer said to me of all of the chapters this was his favorite wife the concept of the gentleman? i shared with him i wrote an essay for the focus on the family magazine years ago and i had written a number of things over a number of years and in raising my right hand i have never received this much response to a single relatively short essay. o

i believe that these listen questions are absolutely vice or whatever believed by the united nations but also through bilateral talks who would win this in the turn it have would be for europeans and nato to simply look on talks between turkey and russia continue to potentially risk turkey becoming permanently entrenched in northern syria because. of this is something that we cannot allow within nato. that's why i believe that we must draw one everything at our disposal to achieve a different result here. and then there are concrete so how far would germany go to implement this or are you banking on the us like germany and europe have always done thoughts on the o.p.'s offer for a moment. in that's not the key to controlling this would be international cooperation meaning we would need an internationally viable foundational ideally with the un mandate question this one dark defiant to on. the question of how germany handles this politically and more than anything what that means for our armed forces is a question that must be decided by the bundestag as has been the case in previous

and i believe we're looking at somewhere in the end of october early november. and that's about as much as i know. i was given authorization of doing public art without checking with them for up to two years. we would have to talk to the artist to see what their plans are for the piece. they own it. the port doesn't own these pieces. and providing insurance, of course. >> we have an excellent communication team and one of the finest of any city department and i hope we push it out and elevate it because it's such a timely issue -- this is so neat. i always appreciate when we have this about waterfront and we really ought to as much as we can promote it and we want school kids and anybody to come out and see that. there's no waterfront like ours. i just want to say thank you and i'm a big supporter. thank you. >> thank you. dan, thank you so much for this presentation. i'm really looking forward to this art installation and i think it's going to be great. i'm looking forward to the ribbon cutting and seeing the tower go up. regarding the art, i guess i'm a little

not just what i ran on but what i believe. i believe people should be paid enough to live. that we need to establish living wages for all workers, that health care is a ride i believe you should send your kids to college without worrying they're going to spend the rest of their basically indentured servitude to student loans. and i think there are certain things that we can establish as a dignified society. the reason it is important is because those are the things that make life really worth living and in a joyous hopeful way. if we are constantly short juggling to live -- struggling to live, how can we do other things like innovate. how can we do things like establish and respect civil rights and so on. >> you mention employers should all offer health care. rep. ocasio-cortez: actually i do not believe employers -- our end goal is not an employer's author health care it is that we have a single payer health care system will stop i do think employers should offer health care. i believe that health care is a right. and that without reliable access to health care, that is ho

i don't believe in that. i don't believe anything is ever to broken to fix. [applause] someone would look at this and say, you are crazy. but you're not crazy. you're not crazy for thinking that we can be better. for so long, we have talked about this notion of american exceptionalism. this caused us to make investments in many places and areas that made us the best. in technology and infrastructure, we were the best. but we cannot rest on our laurels. at this point, when you compare us to japan, the transportation system there, the health care system in norway and netherlands and canada, we are increasingly saying, we were once the best. i don't want to be that country. [applause] when it comes to the green new deal, people come from this zero-sum mentality. we will take away your hamburgers and airplanes. what this is asking us is, what are we going to make? not what are we going to take away. what will we establish? for everyone who says it will ground planes, i guarantee you, climate change, which threatens storms and turbulence, will ground airplanes far

as these terrorists did in the syria again it will not be easy it will be a difficult process but i believe it can work do you know why i feel positive about it people are returning home we're talking thousands of people returning from abroad and from other syrian provinces they are coming home sure sign of the trust they have the situation we have today they trust the government and its guarantees . and they trust the guarantor states i'm happy to say that syrians welcome and trust russian troops and russia's military police the military police units to point the s a doing a good job of doing mostly muslims from the north caucuses and the local residents trust them and feel free to ask them for help and protection says i have reports of such cases i'm happy to say all this but in order to have long term peace people need to find a way to settle things between themselves and the worst peace is always better than the best it was. when the lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the roman clauses protect themselves. when the financial clearing around lifts only the one

i believe that we need to be investing in public transportation. i think we also need to be standing up to uber and lyft, who have privatized and congested and made our streets far less safe. i've never ordered an uber or lyft in my life. i don't plan to. i object strongly to uber's business plan, which is to take people off of public transportation and put them into private vehicles. they have admitted that that is their business plan in the s.e.c. filings. so i think these things are what are congesting the city. [applause] again if you privatize public transportation and if you can make a lot of money, privatizing public transportation, you're going to see the results, which is a congested city, that's unsafe for folks who are cyclists and pedestrians. >> moderator: thank you very much. ms. brown. >> well, yes. and i mean one of the things with vision zero is a lot of times we get pushback from neighbors. i mean, that's really truthful. we want to take out a parking space so people can see you on the corner. there's a lot of things to do with vis

i don't believe in that. i think if we had more sing districts like the one i come from as a truly swing district if i'm too crazy this way or too crazy this way i cannot be successful. i believe in what you're talking about. but i believe very, very strongly in the importance of elect manager democrats. you're right, we do come from very, very different perspectives. >> but you should have an honest debate. what my colleague just said, cheri is talking about, we proposed a great solution for redistricting. i disagree. i think the state of texas should decide what their dicts look like. if you don't like the way it works, talk to your texas legislature and the governor. you shouldn't turn that over to the federal government. that's an honest disagreement. we should have robust and healthy debate in the public square. people should wok it. but at the end of the day it's not personal. we're both american. we want the same things at the end of the day nor country we just have a little different way of getting the

>> congressman, then i believe we would be forced to leave the association. i would hope that the association would weigh our recommendation and what we say publicly that we think should happen. if at the end of the day we don't receive the clearances that we feel like we need to move forward, and the association chooses the move forward without us, then we will be in a position where we will not be a part of the association. >> remaining 30 seconds here. as i said, i believe facebook is a tool. i believe cryptocurrency and libra is a tool. i believe all technology is a tool. it is a neutral tool, just like a car, a plane, a gun, a knife, all of which have been used as weapons for nefarious things at times, and all which have been used to benefit. these various tools are, in society, regulated. whether it is ms. wagner's concern, and all our concern, about child sexual exploitation or others, you need to help us understand where the line between people's first amendment rights, yours, mine, all of society's lie, and the safety of our society, regardless of the

mean, i i believe, i have some insight as to what they are doing and what they are to do, not total, but they better be prepared because there s so much more coming down the pike, and, and my counsel would effective ot to have people. you need good lawyers, good spokespeople and you need a defined strategy. that is, we had ken starr. the problem with the one knows er is no who he is and he's not a face. you can put ken starr's face up lips an youis pushy can see what you're looking at. say, they can, this is a trivializing thing. are way more concerned about what might have happened in the ukraine than anything hat bill clinton did, with monica lewinsky. i'm just telling you, just look and see, and, you know, you've than your base here. you're scratching the bottom and we've got a nking, lot of trump people here, i they think strategically are serving your interest very well. >> so we'll have a chance. can i just add one thing to add. listen. james is really good at what he does. he's a formidable strategist and battler and i admire him for it. you've got to remember, donald trump, k

what happens if the association decides to launch despite that >> congressman, then i believe we would be forced to leave the association. i would hope that with our -- that the association will weigh our recommendation and what we say publicly, that we think should happen, but if at the end of the day we don't receive the clearances that we feel like we need to move forward and the association chooses to move forward without us, then we will be in a position where we will not be part of the association. >> my remaining 30 seconds here, as i said, i believe facebook is a tool i believe cryptocurrency and libra is a tool. i believe all technology is a tool it's a neutral tool, just like a car or a plane, a gun, a knife, all of which have been used as weapons, for nefarious things at times and all of things which have been used to benefit. these various tools, though, in associati society are regulated. all of our concern about child sexual exploitation or others, you need to help us understanding where the line between people's first amendment rights, yours, mine, all of society's lie a

but in the long run i believe that that's going to pay off. than anything else, i mean need to get off twitter and stop being so erratic. people are not going to trust right away the next president will be more stable. but they'll see that. you need to live up to that. we had a great example that have in president obama. even though we disagreed with george w. bush and some of the republican presidents, they were a lot more consistent than this guy has been. we need to get back to a consistency. [applause] mr. vietor: you would make rudy giuliani your secretary of state. secretary castro, secretary castro, thank you so much for all the work you did. secretary castro: thank you very much.

>> i don't believe -- >> i take that as a no. you have a stable of big law firms that work on your legal cases around the country. how many diverse-owned or women-owned law firms are contracted by facebook? number. just give me a number or a range. >> congresswoman, i don't -- >> i take that as i don't know. how many women or minority partners work on these cases? >> congresswoman, i don't know the answer to that question off the top of my head. >> so, did you review the packet -- my time. did you review the packet that went out in notification to you and your team about what was included today in diverse asset management was in it. did you read that? >> congresswoman, i -- >> there's a piece of legislation that i'm working on that was in the packet. did you or your team review it? everyone's talked about your scholarly resume. did you review the packet that was sent to you from this committee? obviously that's a no. let me go to something you introduced. you introduced laura murphy, so you know who laura murphy is because you sa

i believe he went to help. about all the political issues, we always talked about things, about islam. i didn't walk on the journey with him in the sense i didn't become a muslim but we talked about everything. he thought women had rights, he was not an extremist. he walked away, the person who warned us to me was the extremist, who he walked away from... i need to ask you this basic question, you have not had direct contact with him for around three years, do you think you will ever see jack again? i think that is a very cruel question. it is a horrible question. it is a horrible question and i wish i didn't have to ask it, but i want to know how you feel about the future? my greatest fear is he will end up back in the hands of isis who will torture him and kill him. they were going to chop his head off the first time he tried to escape, as they did to many of his friends. i have nightmares every night and i cannot sleep. what do you want me to say? he has had nine lives so far, i want him to speak and say the

i believe this is a career service employee, a public servant. er him or her a patriot, someone who is aware of wrongdoing and has stepped forward at risk, i believe, to themselves. of course i support what senator grassley said last week, that we need to protect the whistleblower. i'm concerned about statements that were made about the -- from the president about maybe we should handle this person like we used to in the old days and the reporting that a second whistleblower has come forward or is about to come forward, i believe again, would be someone with who sees wrongdoing, hears wrongdoing and wants to do something about it. chris: now, the white house -- as i pointed out at the beginning -- your committee, the house, has voted to subpoena documents from the white house. the white house says that it will not release those documents, will not turn them over unless the full house votes to authorize an impeachment inquiry as was done in the cases of bill clinton and richard nixon. why is house speaker pelosi refusing to hold a formal inimpeachm

i am being i mean well i believe that certainly in our nation if you don't want to eat. so do you agree say this and then essentially now i know the avatar i would like to would like to join the conversation at times go ahead yes i think i figure it's fair to say like when we talk about corruption haiti just it's not just a matter of like perception it's the question is really really deep for example what's fueling. what's fueling this put as the most is the picture points like like the picture carrying before and was designed exclusively to help the haitian government support the most of your knob people in haiti to social programs in and through like very like this for it this prickly needed infrastructure in haiti but what happened at the end of the day it's it turns out to be a scam and when you when you when you're covering to put this in the streets people are very very frustrated and india wants to know what happened that money and i have to agree that we've really at some point because in the beginning when the reports came came came out last year people were orga

i believe in god. jesus christ as our lord and savior, i believe all that. and what i think james is missing in his analysis here, those people that wait online, and i have seen them, i have been there it's like they tailgate for 24 hours. they wait for 24 hours to get into a trump rally and those people are watching the sneaky, behind-the-scenes, close doors never ending long impeachment they are sick of it. all these democrats are doing is one thing. they are kissing off the .merican people is how i analyzed 2020 are you better off four years ago? in every category, yes. i love you liberals in the background. hi. is donald trump going to lose any of the people who voted for him in 2016? i don't think so. now, the question is now that we have the best employment conditions since 1969, barack obama literally gave us 13 million more americans on food stamps after eight years he gave us 8 million more americans in poverty he give us the lower labor participation rate in the 70's the lowest rate in 51 years the worst recovery in 40 years. donald trump, in 2.5 y

do i believe we need to have a conversation? yes. i would invite you to look at my website and learn more about where i'm coming from because i got the numbers and thank you sir. >> mr. sanford, you mentioned you just start of this but how you starting your time to get your campaign off the ground? what is your every day like? >> i just got back from three days in new hampshire and building infrastructure and therefore i was in iowa and my home state of south carolina was going back to the earlier callers words of quote covering the camp and circling the wagons. up they just shut it down. in the primary in south carolina was first in the south in his primary. it says there is something very weak about the president's numbers. going back to the last colony, if you're taken 80 or 90% when you take it all day long. but they are not doing that. particularly given the implication in the states that follow given it south primary. something in the number says that it's a mall wide and an inch deep. maybe they're worried about trump fatigue o

i believe we have an extraordinary case to move forward with now.e we're not going to stop. we're going to be diligent, but i don't the people to think if we don't get every last detail we can't move forward.in >> that was going to be my second question.wa adam schiff's approach here as well as the other oversight committee chairs is essentially look, if they want to obstruct, they obstruct. we're moving forward and we have
