things that was intensively studied by the group i worked for, prince william sound regional advisory council and there were increases in every form of family and social dysfunction you can imagine. there was more drinking. there was more suicide. more divorces. more family violence. everything bad that can happen to a small sort of one-industry society happened to those people in prince william sound. >> how long did it take the cleanup until it was completed? >> the cleanup was intensive in the first year and it continued, i think, in the summer for another year or two then was discontinued because there wasn't much left to do. it's worth saying that even today, there's some oil under some beaches in prince william sound. not a lot. just a few thousand gallons now. but it is a testament to the persistence of this oil. that's a cold climate, cool, at least, and once that oil gets below the surface, it doesn't degrade very fast so that oil has not been consumed by nature and turned into routine compounds. >> did congress ever get involved? >> congress did get involved. they passed, i mean, th

business -- the letter he received -- >> ayes sicko the advisory council for mcc, they don't mess around in and there was a letter on my desk -- [talking over each other] >> we are afraid of 1. it would become at magna charta. but any case, i think the key point of the recommendations getting out to american business community, and it's also recognizing it's not just marketing mcc in washington, but it's really marketing in ca in the countries in the government agencies we're dealing with. that's part of message that's got to get out there. the other part, moore is a question i've been thinking connection with -- mcc is only a granting mechanism. europeans have gone forward with a plan, you know, what the call something sustainable the government fund that blends the grant with a commercial financing to lower the cost of finance. it's something out of note if you're thinking about but there been some discussions. i love your thoughts on that because that would be the big sort of requirement. >> so how do you use mcc money to blend with -- >> right. >> so how are you getting out to the am

and this will really not make me popular, but the representation that we have by the citizens advisory council is really weak, and it often appears that they care more for protecting the navy's interest or the interest in this project from historical times than they do about getting the truth out and public health addressed, and so specifically, the homeowners asked for two independent experts to be brought before the citizens advisory council, and that was dr. sunchai and dr. dan hurst, and it took them months to put it on the agenda after we asked. and then, they did things to discredit them during the meeting, but i won't get into that. the study that was commissioned from u.c. berkeley and ucsf is kind of a farce because the people sitting on it favor the navy. they need someone like dr. reza farazzi. i have specific recommendations that i want to get on the record? first, fire aimee brownell. she appears to be working for leonard and making sure that people want to move to the shipyard. pay for people to be tested for exposure for these toxins. there's a kit that's available for less than

and 24 percent of parliamentarians a woman well catch iverson is on the g 7 gender equality advisory council and she says leaders need to start by getting rid of on the cool legislation. that's the gender discriminatory laws they already have on the books because everybody has them on the books and then push progress and laws invest in the implementation because it's not just about getting lost on the pook's it's also about getting them implemented and finance women organization that are the ones on the forefront of this and then of course kind of keep their promises hold themselves accountable as we also look to them to do that so we have proposed an accountability framework that will then follow the promises made but also in in last year's g 7 where we also have the gender equality council and then we'll look at it we'll measure it and because the president next year is open his you know country and to the big plus $25.00 the 25th anniversary of the big conference with a big push called generation equality that would be a good moment to take stock and that was also what the leaders discuss

commissioners, the advisory council met in june and again in july. we did not take a summer break. we'll take that in december, and that was a decision of the council because we discussed whether we wanted to take july off, and they felt that the momentum was moving well, so why take a break. so my report is a june and july report. so basically, what -- one of the changes is the dignity fund and advisory oversight committee meets six times a year, so we have them on the agenda after the meeting rather than put them on the agenda and say there's nothing to report. there's nothing to report in june, but in july, they reported that the additional $3 million that's allocated in the dignity fund legislation has been allocated. and at their september meeting, the dignity fund coalition will have a special discussion on the master plan on ageing. we had senior plan on action speaking to us at the june meeting regarding the pedestrian safety committee, and i'm not going to go into a lot of detail, but basically, he gave us a bit of history on vision zero, the goal of achieving a no death by

i was in the national advisory council. i am back on the business side. i continue to be on the advisory counsel. is the classic case where you have the u.s. solar power company. the thing in terms of threatening u.s. business -- the advisory council does not mess around. >> at one point we thought it would become a magna carta. key point is it was recognizing it is not just marketing mcc in washington but marketing it in the countries and nations we are dealing with. that is part of the message that has to get out there. -- mcc is not a granting mechanism. financingcally a institution. europeans have gone forward with a plan. it is something -- i don't know if you're thinking about it but that would be the big requirement. >> they use of the saudi money to blend. is how are you getting out to the american business? we have my friend bob over here. i was formally with state and aid and worked closely with mcc in many project including power africa. is broader question i think the whole of government approach . especially in today's world where we face chal

of the advocacy organization women deliver also on the president micron's g 7 gender equality advisory council joins us now from the g. 7 in beer it's good to have you with us 1st of all let's start with one of your. demands in this g. 7 to make legal changes what kind of legislative changes are you calling for. the. what the council that gender equality council to the g 7 is asking for is to world leaders the g 7 and all this to the gender discriminatory laws they already have on the books because everybody has them on the books and then push progress and laws invest in the implementation because it's not just about getting laws on the books it's also about getting them implemented and finance women organization that are the ones on the forefront of this and then of course keep their promises hold themselves accountable as we also look to them to do that so that's kind of what we are asking and that's what we went in to the meeting today with the leaders and it was good to see that how receptive they were when it comes to the issue you mentioned of making sure people keep their promises what

of people from that area came up here to look at what we had done in the prince william sound advisory council in having a mechanism to give citizens a voice in how the oil industry operates in these areas. the flow just went on for day after day for an inconceivable amount of time where as the exxon valdez was a one and done event. >> do you think that the oil industry has learned its lessons from valdez and the oil spill off the coast of louisiana? >> yes and no. yes because in the immediate aftermath they did respond. if history is any guide, those intentions will be lost. the intention of the oil industry on getting lighter regulation never waned. they will always be there and always doing that. i have a saying about capitalism. capitalism is a mole. it has no soul and soshs ne consciousness. the goal is to minimize costs and maximize revenue. that's in its dna. capitalism is a wonderful tool for increasing economic efficiency but it comes with a whole set of risks and we have seen the consequences in the gulf of mexico and prince william sound. what society must never do is forget it's up

able to talk to his talk about his presidency talk about the record of this gender equality advisory council and say see we have done things in this year i think that he's feeling that if you're right that's out of the sun without any problems that would be ok it is and it would be good as well if he could contain. us a president and not allow him to dominate the proceedings. or that subject as was just pointed out that's a president trump has had quite a week at let's listen to him at here next to marine one of making friends and influencing europe we're holding thousands of prices fighters right down in europe has to take them out of europe doesn't take them i'll have no choice but to release them into the countries from which they came which is germany and france and other places so we're going to tell them that we've already told them take these prisoners that we've captured because the united states is not going to put of and guantanamo for the next 50 years and pay for. most from the chase just of it will bring into the conversation correspondent published in washington who's going to

process has stalled because the 2003 constitution stipulated that 30 out of 45 members of the m is advisory council would be filled through elections every 4 years 16 years on from that constitution no elections they've been repeatedly perspire why why the answer is very straightforward unfortunately some of our neighbors were not happy with that they thought that you should you care what you knew he was doing well no actually we do it and we do and now we realize after 2 years of the walking that we realize that maybe we should have our own path independent path away from them and that's why you know the criminal groups are in terms of your constitution and this is exactly it's a commitment an absolute 16 years on you has us all feeling about what you're not aware of is that after the blockade actually it's been announced that the shura council will be elected and the legislations are being worked on. you've also made a lot of promises on workers' rights human rights groups acknowledge that you have finally and after much delay taken measures to improve the pooling conditions that migrant workers

rnc committee woman from california, member of the 2020 trump advisory council.reat to have you here. and let's start with first, your op-ed today, california trying to keep trump off the ballot, straightforwardly, the constitution means he will be on the ballot. >> yes, lou. just like in your previous statement we said they will democrats want to tear up the fabric of the supreme court there throwing out the constitution in california. the qualifications clause says three requirements. candidate has to be 35, natural born citizen and in the u.s. more than 14 years per california trying to impose or has passed a law that requires candidates to publish five years of the tax returns in order to appear in a primary ballot. we not stand for this in california. both the trump campaign and the president as well as my clients a republican national committee and california party and the republican trump supporters have challenged this in court we are looking for a hearing next month on the matter. lou: good luck. this is outrageous with the state of california is doing o

advisory group. >> mr. vice president, and establishment of the national space council, thank you for inviting me to providedate on the activities of the users advisory group. as you all know the objectives, scope of activities, and description of duties of the usg is to find the statute, executive order and the charter of the national space council users advisory group dated december 6, 2017 signed by the acting as administrator. while the unga is a ministry of the charter and supported under nasa, the rggi functions exclusively in an independent advisory capacity to the national space council. reporting to you the national space council executive secretary. mr. vice president, you have repeatedly challenged the unga to function as a think tank in addition to advisory role spelled out in this time. it is intended to be a conduit for new ideas. also offers sometime different but hopefully constructive commentary on conventional wisdom which we often note sometimes to conventional and not nearly wise enough. organizationally, a ua gs affiant into six subcommittees that reflect precisely the priorities that y

charlottesville and you saw in quick succession a number of high profile ceos quit these business advisory councilsquit the president dissolved -- disbanded these two councils. so this has been going on for a couple of years and we're just seeing another little fresh burst of it as fund-raising season for 2020 heats up again. >> so jonathan, axios is looking at the growing number of democrats coming out and labelling president trump as a white supremacist over his rhetoric. a lot of 2020 contenders in there as well. how is the white house trying to counter all this? >> so i -- based on our reporting, i expect you're going to see trump campaign associates, white house associates and others in the broader trump world try to broaden this into you're calling us supporters racist, reliving the deplorables situation and we have five prominent 2020 candidates calling him -- literally saying that the president is a white supremacist. so this is a new litmus test question in the democratic field. and i expect that you're going to see based on our reporting the trump campaign try to weaponize it. >> yeah. i

republican national lawyers association rnc committee woman for california member of the trump 2020 advisory council, the president putting up with more vicious, nasty lies from the left than i have ever seen directed against five republican presidents. this is a period of history that the democratic party will, i believe, long regret. >> lou, i think you and i are both veterans commenting on these political issues but i think yesterday was definitely the lowest day i've seen in american history in my memory in terms of divisive rhetoric from the left, and at a time when people should be talking about healing and thinking about the survivors and victims and what we can do to fix the situation going forward democrats run to the zero sum game and view this as an opportunity to attack the president. it's real hi disgusting. it's going to have long term effects in these communities and out of all of these people the president is the only one who doesn't try to divide us according to race. these others, be it corey booker , beto o'rourke, or any of the others, joaquin castro trying to demagogue the presi
