thecongress votes to defund freedmen's bureau in 1869. by 1870, the freedmen's bureau is defunct. it is not giving out anything anymore. there was a general sense that this was enough, we cannot go any further. it is politically unpopular. there were financial considerations involved because it was quite expensive at the time. i think hunger and dependency were one of the issues at which, at the time, white americans were able to reconcile over. more? let me get back to it. here we go. that is the one i wanted to end with. it was earlier in the slide about the children sitting among the ruins in charleston. it was quite a poignant image. you can see that in their little union clothing that presumably some soldiers had given them along the way. >> when did white owned banks start lending money to free blacks? did it take the eventual formation of black-owned banks to start extending business loans to emerging middle class freed blacks? >> one of the interesting aspects of the freedmen's bureau is there was actually one of their functions which established a freedmen bank. for some

the bureau of the army informed officers martial law was not over. it did not restore habeas corpus even in kentucky, which had never been at war with the united states. the veto cemented the republicans' determination to leave without ending the war or even setting terms to end the war. fessendon pledged to hold on to what the war had accomplished at least until the november mid-term election when they would take the issue to the country. with the newly increased majority for the first time they overwrote a significant act of legislation, veto of a significant act of legislation and johnson's veto of a civil rights bill then passed a habeas corpus bill to protect soldiers in the south from being indicted in local courts. then they moved finally on to the 14th amendment. this reflected a crisis they did in fact feel because they understood, and the republican press said, johnson's april proclamation might not be wise but it establishes a term of peace and republicans have to respond. the emphasis of that response of their terms would center around th

so can you describe the role of the bureau in sort of bridging that divide? you speak the intel and then you interact with state, local, tribal, where that term -- it frankly does make people uncomfortable. and how would you assess the progress there and what are your views about the term domestic intelligence. is there another word or should we not care? >> i think we have to care. words can illuminate or an secure and i think that that word obscures and concerns people which is why i use stuff instead of intelligence. but again the reason it would have been a mistake to split the bureau is so much of the information that we get that is useful to the war fighter, to our policymakers, is stuff that is learned by deputy sheriffs in an encounter, police officers, someone at the border. and what i want from them is stuff is probably -- i could probably be a little fancier. but i need facts, i need information. what did you see, what did you hear, what did you find. and then -- so anyhow, i think it ob skuscures. it freaks people for good reason. some dark overto

the bureau of secret intelligence did a lot of domestic work. in 1916, ever since salty over topping of the telegraph lines led by joseph nye. you would give a daily report to the secretary on what they would learn. one particular in january 1917, nye was able to tell the secretary that the german ambassador was about to tell him later in the day that germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare out in the atlantic, which is what was one of the big things that brought the u.s. into the war. secretary lansing was so impressed with what nye was doing that he made them as special assistant to the secretary and making him the first security officer for the state department. harrison brought nye into the bureau of secret intelligence and gave him the title of chief special agent. he started recruiting other special agents from the postal service. at least one of these were sent overseas to cairo to report on the military in political situations there. in fact, the bsi came out of state department attempted to deal with domestic security issues

census bureau, who was instrumental in designing the 2000 census. dr. riche: demography is really the science of studying people or studying populations. in the strictest sense it refers to studying the growth or the decline of populations in terms of, obviously people being born, people dying, and then people moving in or moving away. ople are the focus of policies. they're the focus of programs. they're the focus of advertising entertainment, what have you. but they're the common denominator. we don't have an ideology. we count and we place and we describe. narrator: in the united states the population is measured by the u.s. census. every 10 years the census counts the number of people living in every household across the nation. do this. narrator: the census bureau also conducts additional surveys on such topics as economics, housing, and health. demographers use data compiled through the census and additional surveys to study population dynamics. a question that people have about the census is "why should we care?" dr. riche: what we've found that

canada has been moved back and forth from the european bureau to the western bureau reflecting different attitudes of security and other topics. if you create in north america bureau, you create an internal [indiscernible] we try to drive it with that point. we had a discussion that said where should central america fit in. my own sense is it is a key part of our security as you see with children, narcotics, or other issues. it is a debatable point. i think if we are going to avoid this pendulum of ignoring regions until fires break out and burn our fingers, we need to add central american think of north america in a more strategic way. this is a complement to mexico. parsons,s working with who is now a central bank had, the three central bankers in north america are world-class, he was finance minister. he was the first mexican finance minister i met who would meet regularly with the central american finance ministers because x ago often treated central america with some of the distance we treated mexico. that will not work if you want to deal with the underlying problems. it helps to h

and how those fit into our agenda at the bureau. more specifically, we see opportunities to remove barriers to the deployment of wireless infrastructure. we see opportunities to make more spectrum available in new and innovative ways to meet consumer wireless broadband depland demands and we see opportunities to promote and protect the competitive marketplace, opportunities to stimulate and promote innovation in the industry and services devices threat works as well as regulation and policy. policy innovation is a really important thing we are trying to focus on as well. these opportunities advance and sync up with the wireless bureau's overarching strategic goals. we put them into three categories -- promoting spectrum availability and infrastructure deployment, protecting and promoting competition, and supporting and stimulating innovation in all forms. of course when i say "we," i'm not just referring to the fcc staff or the agency itself. the effort we are undertaking requires engagement and collaboration of stakeholders from in

consumer financial protection bureau is to renew your more into this space but within last budget year was a bit much regulation. that helps explain why a banker of like aaron we came up with a former armed robber like brandon because not only is breaking getting that paper, brandon is offering a service that regulators and law enforcement can't, which is when something goes wrong, i will solve this problem for you. because calling the police and calling the state attorney general calling to see if pbs not going to get it done. you need me to straighten it out. i think aaron saw the truth in that. >> host: you make the comparison in fact, you have desperate people in one side are trying at the bottom of the food chain to collect debt and have desperate individuals who are getting phone calls and are paying because it sounds scary. there are little regulations of particularly at the bottom part of this chain. so what recourse do some of these individuals have, or what can they do besides -- where did they complain? if they paid on the debt but it's gone too no one. it's gone the basical

now, having heard his responses, do you think that the bureau of prisons is doing enough to prevent and prosecute this kind of abuse of power by their staff? >> no. i believe that in every women's prison and jail that sexual abuse of women and girls by staff is a problem. in some places like otter creek, kentucky, or tutwiler prison in alabama those abuses have been revealed to be systemic and very widespread and very sinister. what i observed during the time i was locked up was that a staff member who was under suspicion for sexually abusing prisoners would be removed from direct contact with the prisoner or prisoners that he was accused -- there were always men in the instances that i knew of, but they would still be there on the property and, of course, a person is innocent until proven guilty. i firmly believe that, but many, many aspects of the experience of incarceration have that silencing effect. the fact that your abuser may not, in fact, be far away from you, may be in view. he might be driving perimeter in the facility in which you are 4e8d and so you might, in fact, see him

consumer financial protection bureau and in the state attorney generals are starting to get more into this but in the last bunch of years there hasn't been much regulation, and that helps explain why a banker like aaron would team up with a former armed robber like brandon. brandon is basically offering him a service that regulators and law enforcement can't, which is when something goes wrong, i will solve this problem for you because calling the police and calling the state attorney general and calling the cfpb won't get it done. you need me,broken don wilson, to straighten it out, and i think aaron saw the truth in that. >> host: you make the comparison, you have desperate people on one side at the bottom of their food chain to collect debts and desperate individuals getting phone calls and are paying because it sounds scary, and you have very little regulation at the bottom 0 part of the chain. so what recourse do some of these individuals have or what can they do beside -- where do they pain? if they paid on a debt, but it's gone to no one. gone to these people. >> guest: right.

the result of a 2.5 year federal bureau of investigation investigation. nick cline felt is the u.s. attorney for the southern district of iowa. >> all seven are charged with the same crime - conspiracy to steal trade secrets. >> trade secrets contained in colonels of coin, produced by monsanto, pioneer and lgc. these are no ordinary seeds, but the building blocks for the blockbuster hybrids the seed company sells. iowa state agrope mi. said the seeds -- agronomist said the have been bread over nears to produce the most bushels per hour. >> they have to have pest resistance, drought resistance insect resistance and herbicide resistance in the hybrids. >> reporter: every extra bushel is money in a pocket. and increases the world's food supply. all of which makes the parent seeds more valuable. whoever produces the best seeds likely secures a bigger slice of the market. american farmers produce on average twice as men bush else per acre as chinese counterparts, posing a challenge for seed companies in china >>> you can't play catch up easily. if i'm at a yield level of 200 bushes per a

of american protective league and the bureau of information? these people are totally unreliable. >> mennonites were pacifists with the german background by and large. they spoke the german language and lived in the midwest, ohio and further west of the plains states. there were all sorts of reasons to be suspicious of them. but the point of the article was the bureau of investigation reports sound very much like the reports i have seen that karen found at the national archives about the phillipses. they pick up on comments from neighbors. it was not uncommon generally in small towns for people to be suspicious of the woman next to them wrapping bandages. if she was german-american, she may be putting glass in the bandages, that kind of thing. the point was there was a tremendous amount of misinformation with mennonites being described confusedly as being descended from scottish missionaries in the midwest, being involved in the bolshevik movement in the becoming soviet union, kidnapping chinese missionaries in china. just a melange of mistakes
