the brookings institution, are you kidding? >> yeah, i know.ou have any doubt that they were involved just out of curiosity? >> it's hard to believe, i know, we knew the president of brookings was involved but now we know for sure he was involved. we know that he was texting, i'm not going the say he was texting buddies with christopher steele, the author of the dossier at a very important time, when they were involved trying to disseminate this. now you add this to it that we have a swamp creature that was supposed russian source that wasn't a russian source, i mean, what you're really looking at here, lou, i don't want your viewers to get too confused about this. this story was made up by the clinton campaign. lou: yeah, and pushed and pushed by the justice, the fbi and the obama white house it appears. the brookings institution and all of this, can you get a report out, can you get something out before the election as a result of your investigation into the dossier? >> well, look the key here is, lou, this wasn't just some low-level brooking

and with me today our professor howard penniman of georgetown university mr.stein hess of the brooks institutionis morning we want to talk about the republican convention in kansas city what it was, what it did, what it represents for the party and for the public in the united states and try to inquire a little into what the projection of that convention on the campaign season to come may mean for american politics in this bicentennial year and in the long range. neither professor penniman were in kansas, but our colleague steve hess was. start us off, steven. stephen: they did what a serious american political party is supposed to do in convention. it nominated for president, a candidate who the polls showed had the best chance of winning in november, mr. ford, even though the intensity of support spore for his opponent, mr. reagan was greater. senator dole, a candidate who deattracted least from the ticket which is basically what we expect of a vice presidential candidate. it wrote a party platform which ideologue cal fell between the two contenders, mr. reagan and mr. ford and mr. ford's acce

david: thanks a much to david dollar, senior fellow at the brookings institution.he republican convention has been having the rollcall vote and they have now taken president trump over the top, although the rollcall continues to go on. let's welcome our chief moore -- our chief washington correspondent kevin cirilli. the president has been nominated. that is not a surprise. what are you expecting? it is first and foremost, an opportunity for republicans to make their case on the economy. you'll hear that from senator 10 -- he will talk in jack kemp terms, a stark contrast what we heard from those on the left, including alexandria ocasio-cortez. this is ademic front, republican opportunity for them to tell their narrative as it relates to testing, as it relates to therapeutics, as it relates to other steps the administration is taking with regards to getting a vaccine into development. finally, foreign policy whether on the u.s. china front, or secretary of state mike pompeo speaking from israel. this is an opportunity for republicans to talk about their foreign pol

ahead of the vote it was caught on dozens of fellow in governance studies at the brookings institution is joining us by skype from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for being with us these allegations are essentially what many people would take as fact really given the last survey team months or so what's different about this report. in many ways the report is not necessarily that surprising we know from 2016 that certainly russia have been involved in various forms election interference in iran and china are likely additions to that list certainly have a vested interest in us domestic politics and not surprising to hear that may be involved in some of these tactics which is surprising about this report is simply the willingness of the intelligence community or at least this component of it to come on the record and say foreign actors are not only potentially looking at election interference in this case but they have a vested interest in certain political candidates in the president trump in one case and it is opponent in another case or 2 other cases as it may be no less tha

the brookings institution did analysis based on population projections from last july.illennials, generation z and younger generations combined equal 166 million people. that leaves genx feeling kind of old. but those over 40, combined with baby boomers and our oldest citizens - total just 162 million. what's the impact? the millennial generation now becomes the primary driver of demographic, cultural, and social change, and they can wield more power at the ballot box if they choose to. they're also our most diverse generation, almost half from communities of color. past surveys by pew research indicate a social split in the generations with the younger generations taking progressive views on immigration, criminal justice reform, and environmental protections. a final note on this -- the u.s. census is unerway and waiting for your response. it's one way we get a complete picture of the nation. so, a reminder, fill out your forms today. >> coming up, nothing says celebration quite like champagne but what happens when covid celebration quite like champagne but what happen

stephen hess of the brookings institution. we want to discuss the democratic convention.ll do the republican convention at a later time when that meeting has been finished. but perhaps before we do either of the detailed discussions we conventions, we want to spend at least a few minutes talking about the basic purpose of an american national presidential nominating convention. one observer has said these conventions are real ideological struggles told as circuses. we know the main purpose is to nominate a candidate for president. but howard penniman, beyond that, how can we briefly describe the process of an american convention? howard: the national convention is the time of the nominating of the president and vice president. it is also the one time the party has the national existence. it meets there with delegates from every state in the union, elected by various means, this time by the direct primary but sometimes by convention. it needs as a national partnership. the one time it really operates in the flesh. it nominates the candidate and writes a platform upon which

administrationmp , brookings institute said trump he putfirst four months 50 sanctions against russia. all right, tony perkins, any thoughts? seen so manye allegations made against this administration and this president, everything has been thrown against the wall trying to get something to stick. said from the beginning, america first. that has been his policy domestically and in foreign policy. it is another clear contrast. we apologize for america or we champion the cause of american ideals. we had a perfect nation? no. never have been, never will be. we could get better. i go back to those contrast. last week was criticize america. this week is to celebrate. celebration of what is good about america. people continue to come to this country, there's a reason for that. they come here illegally, they come here legally, all different fashions and forms. america still the world's last best hope. there is one thing joe biden and isala harris would solve, it the immigration, the illegal immigration aspect. if they are successful in the policies they are putting forth i'm not sure people

approach that event in delaware, let's speak now to camille busette, a senior fellow at the brookings institutioninclusion initiative. welcome to bbc news. what do you think? what do you think kamala harris brings to help to mobilise voters ? harris brings to help to mobilise voters? well, i think one of the fantastic attributes that kamala harris brings is obviously as your previous gas with a tremendous amounts of energy and intellect to the campaign. in addition, she brings experience. she is very seasoned as a campaigner. she is very seasoned seasoned as a campaigner. she is very seasoned as a seasoned as a campaigner. she is very seasoned as a politician. many of your viewers will know that she started her political career as a local county district attorney, prosecutor in san francisco. she then moved from there to be the attorney general of california, which is a fairly major feat. and then moved on to the us senate. so she has a tremendous amount of experience in the actual governance of various bodies. so she brings experience, she brings energy and she brings diversity. and i think that

the census bureau and the brookings institution reports that 166 million americans are millennial's, jen z, or younger. 162 million are gen x, baby boomers and older generations. the report shows millennial's and generations classify themselves as a racial or ethnic minority compared to less than 30% of baby boomers. >>> all right, the time is 4:41. let's talk about wednesday morning in the weather at the bay area. steve paulson knows everything. he is right here. >> i don't know about a meeting. fog bank drizzle and temps will be well below average for august 5th, this might be the coolest day for a while. we are not going to warm-up the next couple days. we will warm up. it has parked itself over us. there is going to be wind gusts 25 to 50 miles per hour already, coolest day this week by far. big fog bank, drizzle, lots of drizzle, already, the honda, pacifica, maybe where you are, coast, mountains, temperatures continue to go down, down, down, concord, 76, august, that's an eye-opener. i imagine that's on the high side. i see 70. that low -- again, san mateo coast, up towards pac

perry author and fellow at the metropolitan policy program at the brookings institute thank you both for coming on today. so look over probably have overcrowding lack of proper medical care or unsanitary living conditions were already major issues in the u.s. prison system how is covert 19 exacerbated these existing issues dr perry your thoughts. well if you mentioned it there were looted prisons art. that. where its product. areas. are. areas. they are also. areas people have little recourse and so we need to look or examine the conditions in prisons in and we need to socially distance people and create the kind of conditions that enable people to thrive and so. the short of it is that prisons are in the main places that that are conducive for virus spread and other illnesses. and james is here in washington d.c. a family of an inmate recently died from cobain while being held in north carolina wasn't informed of his death by the bureau of prisons and to over 100 days after it occurred we talk about coping in prisons we often only focus on the guards the staff and inmates but how ha

we're in a real crisis right now in this country according to the brookings institute about 14000000 american children are going hungry each week and according to u.s. census numbers about 30000000 americans say they are not getting enough food so it's it's a big challenge that's in front of us right now here in the united states we've served about 25000000 fresh meals now over the past 4 months and you know it is we're not seeing a lot of signs of things getting better there's a number of things that need to be done urgently that we are supporting and trying to to do our part to help raise awareness and education i think for sure we need to prioritize funding for meals for schools it's clear that schools are not going to reopen across the country in the fall and for so many families this is where kids get their meals and so we need to make sure those schools are properly funded and supported school kitchens are able to activate am preparing meals i think we also need to enable our federal emergency management agency so this is the agency that goes in after hurricanes wildfires and p

well scott anderson is a fellow in government studies at the brookings institution he says the issue of forward interference isn't new but it's notable that the intelligence agencies are being so up front about it in many ways the report is not necessarily that surprising we know from 2016 that certainly russia have been involved in various forms election interference in iran and china are likely at decisions to that list certainly have a vested interest in us domestic politics and not surprising to hear it may be involved in some of these tactics which is surprising about this report is simply the willingness of the intelligence community released this component of it to come on the record and say foreign actors are not only potentially looking at election interference in this case but they have a vested interest in certain political candidates in the president trump in one case in an opponent in another case or 2 other cases as it may be no let doubt that is part of the framing that went into the effort to present this information and effort to make it look like it is in some ways

they're both unexploded lynch and when you look at these numbers it's incredible because of the brookings institute found that in black neighborhoods homes are undervalued by board of $8000.00 on average and that amounts to $165000000000.00 in cumulative losses that's a huge amount of money being taken out of black communities around this country absolutely so in america when we base everything on the american dream in this idea that if we work hard enough we rise above our station and owning a home is this great investment when it comes to black families whether they live in a black community or they choose to live in a white one that is absolutely not true because you're not getting the bang for your buck your home is not valued at what it should be just simply because you were born the wrong skin color and that is something america continues to reinvest in instead of our property while powerful. well most united states has been rightfully distracted by politics and pandemics the tensions between the united states and china have been rising particularly around the south china sea and after a chin

know your price, valuing black lives and property in american cities" a fellow stock exchange brookings institutewelcome good to have you with us maybe i'm the only one that did not know this. i did not know and i'm surprised lenders are allowed to ask your race as part of the application process. why are they allowed to? >> one, we do need to have that information to know if we're actually lending to black, brown, and indigenous folks. there is data collection need. unfortunately we see data used to punish black buyers and sellers in many cases. we want to see sort of a color blind approach but we also know that if we don't collect the data we won't have the information to remedy the situation. >> but let me push a little bit here, and i'm just thinking off the top of my head why couldn't you collect that information after the mortgage application has either been approved or declined, so that it isn't known up front and therefore can't get into in any way the decision-making process. >> yeah. that is certainly possible, but you still want a lot of information because there's a lot of things that

been more aggressive than obama when it comes to going after russia, this is according to the brookings institutionator tom cotton thinks that it is so that america is now on a march around the world to be the number one superpower in their authoritarian and communist and running concentration camps, do you think americans are getting lied for that. >> i regret that i don't think americans understand what a growing threat china is to our security, our economy, to intellectual property theft because the media will not talk about it, the trump administration has cracked down since china's criminal negligence led to the pandemic around the world that killed hundreds of thousands of people, but we need to main stream media to talk about it and it has to be talked about in the campaign, in a perfect world china would be the top issue of the campaign, i think domestic security of black lives matter and in tivo will be the top issue but i really think it should be china. liz: thank you so much for your expertise and thank you for coming on, it is great to see>> you. coming up, house speaker nancy pelosi,

talks about good union jobs all the time, but if you look at his tax plan, it is scored by the brookings institutionise $2.1 trillion over the next 10 years. do the math. 2.1 trillion dollars over $3.6 trillion is a 50% tax increase. he has to come out and explained that his green stimulus program number where you have government demand driving demand for electric vehicles, for advanced equipment, all that stuff come is the key thing that will drive jobs in the economy. tom: this is your wheelhouse. what is your advice to vice president biden to connect the dots, or as you say, do the math? jim: i think biden needs to come out and start making the case more forcefully. perhaps that is the case for kamala harris now. the vice president is traditionally being more aggressive partner on the ticket, and she needs to come out and take the case to trump and take the case to the american people that we don't need to revert to the past. we really do need a bold vision for the future, and i think that as long as biden stays in delaware for whatever reason, it is going to be harder to present that image for t
