the records were in the california state archives in the state library. all of a sudden, i became absolutely fascinated with the medical and psychological implications of performing a surgery like this on women because they were deemed immoral and therefore unfit to reproduce. that took me down the path. i realized i was in love with history and this particular subject area, the history of medicine. >> if you could put in a mission statement, the history of medicine, you are the chair of purdue university, what is the objective of the school and your students? prof. kline: a point of clarification. the department is history, the department of history, and i have an endowed chair. i am it. i'm the only medical historian. >> so your mission statement. prof. kline: yeah. my mission is to create more of a dialogue -- i will say two things. one is a research mission and one is a teaching mission. my research mission is to demonstrate the fact that medicine has a history. we like to think of race, class, and gender as the lenses we used to approach to understan

calsaws is obviously california state automated welfare system. and state automated welfare system is a term and every state is meant to have one. in california, we've had three. we have three at the present time. we had four several years ago. and the federal government has pushed california over the last several years in the direction of developing a single statewide automated system. there are two reasons for that, really. one is that the federal government would like the see systems that are consistent from county to county in terms of application of rules and calculations, leading to the determination of eligibility for calworks, medi-cal, and of course the other thing is maintaining three systems expensive. and since the feds pay a very large share of the costs of these systems, they would like to reduce their costs. the m.o.u. is designed to facilitate shared development work before the 58-county j.p.a. is formed. at this point, we believe we're on a track to form the 58-county j.p.a. next summer. so we are really talking about a 10 or 11-m

[laughter] mr. gore: under the law, the first day the u.s. can withdraw from the paris agreement happens to be one day after the next presidential election. and if there's a new president, excuse me for a moment.

with the california state department of justice. just by way of history, the united states department of justice through the cop's organization came in and made 272 recommendations after a floor-to-ceiling audit of the san francisco police department. unfortunately, the u.s. department of justice no longer was providing that service, so what we've done is the mayor's office has reached out to the california -- california state department of justice, and the attorney general's office to basically review some of the work that has been put in play already by the police department, and also to work with our consultant to have the -- they have the consultants have the professional expertise of hillard and hines. keep in mind everything every day ends up with the ulta professional. i just want to take the commissioners to paragraph 2-h, page 2, under subpart b, and it says the cal d.o.j. will consult with the represent avof the commission. this was such an important. i was kind of hoping that the cal d.o.j. would consult with the entire co

between 2050 and what people forget is how red a state california was. we gave you richard nixon and ronald reagan and there were many republican statewide republicans office holders in i -- and i think it's not the demography that changed the shift of the state, eliminated bilingual education, eliminated affirmative action and launched to a much deeper criminalization than any other state between 1980 and 2008 while in the rest of the state the state prison population went up for four fold in california it went by six fold. so we were america fast-forward in terms of the bad and i think part of what happened in california was something that i have seen happen nationally too. the left got tired of losing, we are proud when we win with values, we lost but we were really clear about our values and people's lives get messed up in the process and so people really begin to develop a different way of doing voter engagement. something we talk about in the book, basically community organizing meets electoral politics when you are trying to engame people bet
