the association for the predator of prevention and relief of heart disease was formed in one thousand fifteen in order to determine if people diagnosed with heart disease could return to work in one thousand twenty four six cardiologist from other smaller heart health groups throughout the nation came together to create the american heart association the ha remained a small regional organization until june twenty fourth of one nine hundred fifty six and the american heart association broadcast a show on three major networks presenting the then new theory that heart disease was caused by cholesterol and the company that gave them the one point five million dollar windfall to go national with the theory. procter and gamble the creators of such allowed processed food treats as christgau and one of the biggest donors to the american heart association century old p.r. push to demonize animal and alternative facts and the worst part is that the entire idea of the cholesterol from animal fat causes heart disease is based on the cherry picked data of the seven nations study a study that was d

medicaid pays almost two-thirds of the coasts associated -- costs associated with nursing home care in america. what happens to the people in nursing homes when you slash medicaid? how many of them are going to get thrown out of the nursing homes? where do they go? are families in america, working-class families going to be forced to make the choice of whether they take care of their parents or whether they send their kids to college. those are the choices that working class families may have to make if this horrific legislation gets passed. this legislation would dramatically decrease -- decrease funding for the opioid and heroin epidemic that is sweeping this country, including my state of vermont, including kentucky, west virginia, new hampshire, states all over this country. ohio. struggling with the opioid epidemic addiction problem. and the program that provides the most funding to help deal with addiction treatment and addiction prevention has been to be medicaid. so what happens to our efforts to try to get a handle on this terrible, terrible epidemic sweeping our country when

the negativeces associations they have garnered. aided by smartphones and social media, americans have become more aware of these incidences, which very likely have occurred at a molar levels in previous decades -- similar levels in previous decades, but were under the radar, so to speak. however, i think it would be good to expand the focus of the movement to include groups that are not usually referenced when we discuss black lives matter. and i'm referring to ordinary residents who are often innocent intims of criminal offenses poor inner-city neighborhoods and have called for more police protection, not less. areto repeat, these people usually not referenced when we talk about black lives matter. and in this connection, i recall a conversation i had several with a mother who resided in one of the poor inner-city neighborhoods on chicago felt southside. a a gangt bullet from fight had killed her son, who was not a gang member. and she sadly lamented that his in any ofnot reported the chicago newspapers, not on tv, not on radio, n

why are they talking about these associates? it's not until time progresses and really, frankly, even in recent weeks that we've seen more revelations coming out, that you go back to that kind of initial dot in the narrative and it starts to make a lot of sense, or look like maybe this was part of the narrative that was building. and i think what we're seeing here is like a photograph developing. it's becoming clearer as more and more information gets layered on to it. this piece is particularly important now, because investigators can go back, relook at those reports from 2015, and say, is there something in there that we didn't recognize as significant at the time? but now we see maybe why that matters or why it marries up to information that's come out since then? >> is there anything controversial about this surveillance? obviously if this is surveillance of surveillance of russian persons, not particularly controversial in terms of u.s. law, but people who are associated with donald trump, mr. trump's name itself turning up

associated forces. so congress is not authorizing use of force against associates who say nice things about my qaeda -- al qaeda. we wanted to be al qaeda, groups fighting along with them, and keep it near row. the part to define it, as part of al qaeda seems to be too tight. there may be groups that are using terminology of code belligerency. you had a different group fighting longside an allied with al qaeda but they really are a different group and not part of al qaeda were isis. that is one thing i would think is too tight. i do think associations can't be just a group that shares the ideology, but it is writing white paper somewhere. it is a group fighting along with al qaeda in some way. >> thank you both for your testimony. > thank you. >> i want to thank the chairman for convening this panel. i want to thank my fellow members for their long-standing leadership on this matter. you have each spoken to the importance and appropriateness of and a umf, not just debating it, that passing in a umf. all

one, the "associated force" definition is too narrow for me. i'd at least like to hear from senators flake and kaine why they said that for a group to be associated, it literally has to be part of al qaeda or isis. there certainly seem to be some groups that are co-belligerent fighting along said al qaeda/sieqaeda/iz qaeda/isis. i understand you don't want to go too broadly saying they were associated. that's too broad. the way it's currently drafted part of al qaeda or isis seems to be too narrow. the -- i would add some detention provisions ideally. but the affirmative power to detain, i would certainly balance with certain safe guards. it's a two edged sword. if congress is authorizing the detention of people under the laws of war, there ought to be protections to make sure that the people who are detained are the right people and for no longer that's necessary. i defer to you all on the disapproval provisions. i know the senators worked very hard on those. it's a lot of lines and pages, it's quite complicated. >> let me hone in on that. we'

live coverage of national governors association against of our morning at 9:30 a.m. eastern on our companion network c-span. >> good afternoon, everybody. welcome everybody. i want to once again thank governor ray mondo and all the citizens of the great state of rhode island. this is a record number of governors. this is a record number of attendees that we have here today. i am not honor to introduce the vice president of united states of america who as you know i year ago sat right with us, voted on our nga resolutions but most and poorly as a governor he understands the challenges that

those kinds of segregation in combination that are associated with poor performing schools. and this reminds me of the research of one of my former students at the university of southern california. the sociologist anne owens. in a 2016 sociological -- american sociological review article, income segregation of households with and without children, owens re-examines the longitudinal data here on income segregation and her results revealed that families with children had a much higher level of income segregation than childless couples. and she hypothesizes this is because families with children tend to seek out neighborhoods with the best schools. and i think this hypothesis really applies to higher income families within the black community as they try to escape neighborhoods with the poorest schools, neighborhoods in which poor blacks suffer the combination of income segregation and racial segregation. now, let me focus for a moment on such neighborhoods to provide additional information on why i am increasingly pessimistic about the future of poor blacks. some of you are p

is he an associate or accomplic accomplice?a conspiracy or where they're going to collaborate question at the headline you read earlier, they sounded very anonymous manafort has been pummeled in the news media because remember, we are looking at all of us in the throes of a russian collusion investigation by special counsel mueller. everything report takes on this ominous tone which would not be there otherwise. is this just a business partnership and ever was or is it actually reflective of something much deeper? >> jon: he's ukrainian, not russian. the organized crime that he is alleged to be involved in, let me ask you, nor the lawyer. is it organized crime? >> no, he's being charged with bribing public officials and the country of india. he is not being charged with anything relating to organized crime. his defense lawyers have said he's a member of the russian organized crime crew, but there is no proof and it has nothing to do with manna manafort. it's incredibly unfair for him to be pretrade in the media is having some c

it gives them association they do not need to have...oming out of a very small number of mosques inspired by a very small number of militant imams and other leaders, and... absolutely. absolutely. you cannot deny the muslim origin of this problem. absolutely not. but what you can say and understand are once again fact. you know, we have had zero suicide attacks in most countries. the netherlands, uae, we havejust had under 3000 people die of suicide attacks between 1982 and 2015 in the united states. we have had, in the united states. we have had, in the united states, at least 30,000 people die as a result of gun violence every year since 1982 at least. i see the crosses, the kkk, i see they have them and burn them. i do not associate them with such a mainstream movement as christianity, because the majority of people, christians, have nothing to do with that. what you need is people who believe in civilisation, believing perversity, who believe in inclusion, people from all backgrounds, sadiq khan, angela merkel, from the uae, to come

is examining a broad range of transactions involving trumps businesses as well as those of his associates, including jared kushner, all manner of fort and the president himself. investigators are looking at real estate dealings and bank transactions. you can read more online or on bloomberg to read the full details, including trump hotels, the miss universe pageant, and much more. again, bloomberg exclusive reporting. markets are reacting, particular he the dollar. julie: the dollar has been more react to political news than we have seen stocks react to political news. this time was no different. the dollar at 10:00 a.m. taking a leica lower. it had already be turning lower following the ecb press conference, but the sharp move came out after the robert .6%ler story came out, down and continuing the downtrend for the u.s. dollar as of late. we did see a leica lower in stocks as well. they have largely recovered and now back to the little change line where we did see a bit of reaction in trading volume. trading volume has been low. along with volatility. this is the average volume for the

the american medical association, the cancer association, hospital association, let's have america comen here and join together like our forefathers and mothers have done to expand liberty to expand opportunity, to extend hope. we can do that. all of us collectively have that power, and it's what the people want right now. this is not what the people want. the heard what we are about to vote on has only seen the light of day for a matter of minutes. this nation was founded with the proclamation that we the i people, this idea that all of us together can do better that when we join together and stand together and fight together and when we worke together, we can create a transcendent reality. that's the story of america and this is not. this is the betrayal of ouret values and our history and the betrayal of the great body in, which we are all members of. >> thank you, mr. president. sena >> mr. president. >> the senator from hawaii. >> mr. president, so many of us have spoken so many timeses now against the repeal of the affordable care act which would hurt millions and millions of peop

a director and associate director. at this point there is no inkling other than this is the international part of the national student association. sessions whenn on my typing was finished. >> during these sessions, the leaders had a chance to see the political opinions were of people in the room. they got to see the papers. they would have had ample sense of what the feelings of the participants were about american foreign-policy. i learned much later we all live together in this dorm, that was the time in which security background investigations were conducted on any student they wanted to hire at the end of the summer. >> what was the next step? your husband was contacted. >> and he was offered a position at the end of the summer. the middle east desk, for which he had zero preparation. we went off to another congress, we moved to washington. it was thrilling. i would back to school. in october, one evening we had dinner with two people who identify themselves as former nsa officials. after dinner we were driven som

association. we've been working with coalitions and have held three forums in different cities in reno and cleveland and in denver just over the last several weeks together as a coalition, and it is significant, i think that the provider organizations that are on the front line of delivery, nurses as well, have the most concerns with it. some of the other sectors of the health care field have different types of concerns. because a lot of their concerns tend to be on the tax side and want to see certain taxes repealed that in fact they do in the house and senate bills. so within the health community i think the provider side that delivers the care on the front lines and thesignificantly have been patient side aligned. anna: why do you think it is at side that isn't getting what they are looking for versus that he mentioned taxes are being cut and house and senate bills? rick: it is always popular to cut taxes. hat is something that has been a part of the discussion and that is something that those

of the national governors association. scott patterson here. -- giveould stand up them a great round of applause. [applause] gov. mcauliffe: everybody else, stand up and give a great round of applause. let's show some appreciation for the great step of the national governors association. -- the great staff of the national governors association. [applause] as we governors know, we get to make all these great announcements, but there's someone underneath who has to get all the work done. recordk you for the attendance we've had at this meeting and at our winter meeting. all the different best practices and all the different issues we have dealt with. it has been a spectacular ride and i appreciate the great, great leadership . you and your team have done a magnificent job and i thank you for that. ifant to call on our chair we have new nominations. go slowly. i want to keep that feel for a while. mary fallin from the great state of oklahoma. [applause] your chairmanship lasts a few more minutes. it is my pleasure on behalf o

after four years he will have an associate's degree. salary of at least $50,000, and skills crucial to the larger economy. >> if we don't provide a labor force that can fill that work, technology, foreign companies, outsourcing are going to replace the opportunity to earn your living in those occupations. >> siemens now has similar training at three more u.s. factories. >> it's an investment in people, talent and our future. >> benefiting the company and the economy anne thompson, nbc news, charlotte. >> excellent, thank you. >> thank you for your commitment to this work. i would like to introduce zoe baird. the ceo of the markle foundation, she's held that role since 1998 under her leadership, the foundation has focused on this exact issue. i know she's partnered with governor hickenlooperer and others here. prior to that, zoe had an incredibly successful career as a lawyer and in government, she's a friend and a leader i'm an admirer, and i think she's the perfect person with the perfect background to partner with us governors to take

take the medical association's word for it. take the hospital association's word for t. take aarp's word for it. take the consortium of large hospitals in my state who urged a no vote on this on this legislation takes the disabled children's advocacy groups word for it. we are big enough people and good enough leaders that we could forge a path forward if we just found the will to do so. with that, mr. president, i yield the floor. >> i wanted to say a few words about the new republican health care plan that was just announced a few hours ago. while there are some modest changes in it, the truth of the matter is this plan remains a disaster and an embarrassment, and i think the indication thatt it is an embarrassment is with legislation that would impact about one sixth of the american economy, over $3 trillion a ye year, legislation because it's healthcare impact virtually everybody there has not been one public hearing on thisis legislation. it has all been done behind closed doors. and honestly, no matter what, your view may be on where we as a nation should go with h

and is a sheriff in the state of louisiana but the national association is already sort of figuring out its response to protest of the bayou bridge pipeline and the last thing i'll say is in a webinars the national association which we reported on the story. took place in may they both spiteful who was in that well but are and then another head of operations of policing for that called access by protests. sheriff of cass county of an appalling those two on the weapon are basically said that back in april they met with the attorney general of nebraska to talk about potential responses the protests around the keystone x.l. pipeline which are heating up in that state so it's not just a piece of history it's that a lot of these same kind of pieces of that response in the court actions are now moving in today and of course there are sort of first amendment rights which might be implicated with the right to pump the speech you know first amendment rights with. the right to speak out against things you disagree with exactly and plus of course that you know the merger. potentially of these

association, national association of community health centers. so we could end the artificial crisis immediately to restore certainty to the health insurance market to give us what we need to come together on a bipartisan basis to approve -- improve the affordable care act and strengthen what is working. that is what we were sent to washington to do bipartisanship should be a first choice not a last resort to work together to make those comments since improvements that we shouldth be making. i yield the floor. >> the senator from north dakota. >> i am always perplexed when they say we are a the party of business that we have to make the decisions and do the work that needs to get done and in a timely fashion there is not ae corporate board in america confronted with the challenge that would not shore up the cost saving payments. and those who spend time and the private sector where we have to make decisions and to deliberate and to create more uncertainty to a trio of irish -- what you can then let's get the experience to resolve bigger am brodeu

not every building needs to be associated with the person you are looking for. it starts a process, this game of commemoration, looking for sites. it leads ultimately to the memorial obelisk at the circle, having been moved, i have just recently learned its base has been trimmed. the flamboyant base in the 1890's was trimmed down a bit. it led to a lot of art. this is one of my favorite topics. when mason locke weems wrote his famous stories of washington in his cherry tree edition of his life of washington, he talked about the home at ferry farm on the rappahannock and described it as a low front of faded red, and aging building overlooking the river. he said people come there still and say, here the great washington was born. he immediately said, they were wrong because he was born upsilon westmoreland county in another site. that is the confusion in 1807 that carries on through the history of these two places. they are always confused one for the other. this was a wonderful example of that confusion, a drawing and etching. it says it is the birthplace of wash

let's begin with the american hospital association. they obviously are not for complete repeal and replace. they would like repair to the faredable care act. where does this group stand as opposed to the other major players in any health care debate that happens in washington? >> they've been some of the most outspoken against the bill. they've been more opposed to it than some of the other big players. the insurance industry has been much more quiet and hasn't really taken a firm stand either for or against. they're sort of playing their cards closer to the chest. but the hospitals have been more out there saying we are directly affected by this. we're out there providing care to people and this would have some damaging cuts. and the more people without insurance and it would be damaging. >> so ana is their influence being felt on capitol hill? >> i think that they felt that it is being heard. they have gone in, they've been able to say their peace and talk to some of the members and some of the leadership but they don't feel like tho

s i'm joined now by desmond butler for the associated press. and the first journalist to interview this lobbyist today. desmond, who is this guy? >> rinat akhmetshin is a lobbyist who has lived in washington since the mid-'90s. a lot of us in -- who report on international affairs know him. he has worked on a lot of issues as both a lobbyist and a p.r. guy, having to do with the former soviet space. and he is a pretty talented operator. >> yeah, he's -- my sense is he's kind of a man about time in d.c. people know him, he knows the right people, he is at different functions. he's not some obscure figure. >> no, that's certainly true. >> what did he say about how he ended up in this meeting? >> he had been working for a russian company run by a -- own ed by an that was among other things tries to water down the sanctions that were targeting russi russian. and one of the people that he worked with was this russian lawyer, and he says that he was in new york, in jeans and a t-shirt and she called him up and she said that she had a meeting with don

this week on newsmakers we are joined by the president and cto of the american hospital association, rick pollack. thank you for being here. rick: thank you for having me. greta: we have anna edney and peter sullivan covers health care policy for the hill. let's begin with the affordable care act. does it need to be repealed and replaced? rick: it certainly needs to be repaired for certain. anytime you and act legislation of this magnitude over a period of seven years or so, there are things that need to be corrected. even when it was enacted people knew from the day he was enacted they would need to have changes. you think about medicare and medicaid, how many times it has been amended and changed. it certainly is in need of repair. we havee repeal of it, concerns in that regard. as the house passed a bill in the senate is working on one, is there anywhere near preparing the pieces you like to see fixed? rick: the senate bill perhaps goes in the direction of dealing with private market stabilization and dealing with the cost-sharing reduction issue, which i think would address some

it's the peruvian association.national planned parenthood federation... yes. ..of which you are the director—general... oh, yes. so these are groups acting with your blessing. yes, we are connected. but the thing, you know, zeinab, a woman's movement, is — its prerogative is — it started in europe, america, india, africa, everywhere — to tell me today it is the west that is bringing something else, it is really very arrogant. i didn't say the west. not you! but the way it is presented is a foreign ideology... no, i didn't say that, and i should make it clear the ippf has about, what, 170 countries as members, and you are — you work in partnership with the united nations. you are a very bona fide organisation. yeah, but the question is, are these doing it to fight for the right of a woman to make a choice, to be informed of what is the consequence of having unwanted pregnancy, knowing that she can use contraception? is it a crime to legislate that a woman, taking into account her personal condition, her social condi

this financial risk associated with -- for example, there could be more than expected rapid rising of interest rates. some of them are short-term risks, some are medium-term, and they need a different set of policies to respond. stephen: professor, from your global approach in virginia, how do you feel? >> first, i don't think china is the main risk. people have been talking about that for too long. when you have so many years to prepare for a debt problem, it tends to be manageable. the truly bad crises come as big surprises. number one by far is the risk of a cyber attack, and the fact that none of you mentioned it makes me think it is the bigger risk. the situation in the persian gulf with qatar and a possibility of an extension of the proxy war, and the blockade with qatar is something hardly anyone predicted. you don't have a good model of the situation and the risk is probably quite high. then the interaction between north korea and president trump. the north korean situation isn't new, but to have trump as president, which i think on the domestic front will be ok, even though h

they are protesting the association because the association supports limits on rent control. protestors are demanding a statewide freeze on rent increases. they also want lawmakers to repeal the rental housing act that pans rent control for single-family homes built after 195, banning it. it allows landlords to raise market rates for those units. many landlords say repealing the law would put them out of business but tenant groups say rising rents are forcing families into homelessness. >> there are a lot of tenants in all -- all over the -- all over california but here in the bay area especially that are struggling to make their rent. and when they are receiving rent increases from $200 to$600 from one month to the next it's hard to live. >> reporter: in a statement, the california apartment association says in part: ab1506 would repeal the rental housing act. in pleasant hill, jessica flores, kpix 5. >>> white house leaks are front and center in washington today. mola lenghi reports, the disclosures are pitting some members of president trump's team against each other. >> r

. >> the associated press. cnn. >> hello. i'm from cnn. recently, your civil rights team said that 90% of campus sexual assault stems as a result of both parties being drunk. do you agree with this sentiment? affect your department as you are considering how to change your policy? sec. devos: i think she has actually sense then apologized and corrected her statement for that. what was your thought? is that the mindset -- what is your opinion? sec. devos: again, we are listening and we know that this policy has not worked in too many ways and in too many places and we need to get it right. we are determined through the course of conversation and the course of discussion with all parties to ensure that whatever is done in the future, we will address the issues and get them right. >> [indiscernible] my question for you is where you definition uthe nder title ix, whether that includes gender identity. sec. devos: first of all, let me just say that i think all students deserve protection. all students. that is all students. i think that there h

the american heart association , the american academy of pediatrics and sit psychiatric association, federation of hospitals, american lung association, march of dimes, the american nurses association, one might think that one virtually every major national healthcare organization as opposed to legislation that maybe just maybe my republican colleagues might think twice. : about go forward. but they have not had in this process the opportunity, amazingly enough, to hear from doctors, to hear from hospital administration, to hear from patient advocates, because, mr. president, as you may well know, despite the fact that we are dealing with an issue that impacts every single american, which is what health care does, an issue that impacts one-sixth an issue that impacts one-sixth impacts one sticks of the american economy over t $3 trillion a year. there has not been one hearing, one public hearing on this bill. this bill has been written behind closed doors. anyone listening to senator mccain the other day made that point. how do you deal with one-sixth of the economy and their desire
