california, go to college for free. this, by the way, was not a new idea. abe lincoln start the land grant colleges like michigan state university where i went briefly. abe lincoln had the idea everybody should be going to school free. they were land grant colleges, gave them land to work that land and pay for the tuition of the students, cut the trees, grow cows, which is what they did at msu, corn, whatever. you know, and it was not a unique idea to abe lincoln. thomas jefferson on his tombstone, the guy who, you know, was president of the united states twice from 1800 to 1808 -- 9 -- 1801-1809 technically, he wrote his own epitaph, did not say he was president of the united states. he was not the most proud of it, but he was, but he was most proud of in addition to be being author of independence -- but what he was most proud of that he was the founder of the university of virginia, america's first free college. anybody could go to college. anybody cogold to the university of virginia if you passed the entrance exam and demonstrate they were people going to college. anyhow, people know. people know that we've been robbed. oh,

state houses, not just in california, but around the country. and want to recognize now congresswoman maxine waters who really was an extraordinary figure in the fight, in the united states. to get pension funds and universities and others to divest. i recognize her, maxine waters, for 2 1/2 minutes. ms. waters: i want to thank my friend and colleague from pennsylvania for that warm introduction. and i want to thank the members of the congressional black caucus. we just returned from south africa where we participated with thousands of folks from across south africa, memorializing nelson mandela. and it was a wonderful moment in our lives. but of course nelson mandela has helped us all to be a better person, he has inspired us all in so many different ways. when i was a member of the california state legislature, i authored the legislation that divested all of our pension funds from doing businesses in south africa. and so that legislation caught fire across the country and we had other divestment movements going on and others divesting their funds from businesses that were doing business in south africa. we went on to have rallies and marches, we came to washington, d.c., we got arrested at the south african

california state legislature, i authored the bill that company vedivested pension south africa as part of the pressure that we put on the apartheid government. i w we also joined with students on colleges and universities and we took over the south africa consulate in los angeles on thanksgiving and refused to leave as we tried to pressure the south african government. so having that bill signed into law and having worked with so many people and then greeting him when he came to l.a. where we organized a big celebration in the coliseum and then coming to south africa for his inauguration has been a big part of my life. and now having been here any number of times and been here for the closing moments of the history that brought us to this point because his history will live on forever. but right now everybody is recognizing the contributions that he made and everybody is going to make, even in death he's bringing people together with raul castro shaking the hand of the president of the united states. someone even said the sky is weeping for nelson mandela as it rains. so it's a wonderful moment. it's a moment that causes me to reflect on everything that i've been involved in and it's a moment to cause

economy and the university of california at irvine did it did a study for sure they did a study of studies that looked at one hundred studies of times in american history or at the state level where the minimum wage was raised and they found it in eighty five out of one hundred there was an adverse effect on employment rates of the young and the economically disadvantaged so no raising the minimum wage will hurt people but congressional democrats don't care if it saves them i would submit that that has nothing to do with the minimum wage and probably have to do more with the business cycle which tend they tend to go hand in hand unfamiliar that study them so i can respond to it i do know that if you look at the minimum wage and look at g.d.p. every job minimum wage goes up g.d.p. over the next three years increases and you know it's never not been the case but to call your thoughts on this you know my thoughts on it is when i find it surprising that this leaked out at the strategy but you know thirty three sound that the majority of folks who. or even in the center of politics you know a lot of independents are in favor of increasing the minimum wage the minimum wage

state of california's making this decision? >> the hospital is making the decision based on their three experts initially making a declaration of brain death. and then an expert appointed by the court coming in from stanford universityurologist, also confirmed that declaration of brain death. this is the hospital -- under the law it's the hospital's right to do this. the hospital is not required legally to incur the extraordinary expense of keeping her on a ventilator. the court has intervened because the parents petitioned the court. even if there's an appeal, bill, don't count on that being granted. >> so you're in los angeles, this young lady's in oakland, california. is this law the same in other states as it is in california? >> you know, bill, as far as i know it is essentially the same. a person who is declared brain dead cannot be revived. the brain is not an organ that can be regenerated or can be regenerated by, you know, physicians or any other type of medical procedure. she is dead. she's being kept -- essentially being oxygen nated by the ventilator. and that's keeping her alive. but she's not getting any nutrition. the brain does not function. there are no brain waves. there's no blood flow to the brai

california which has been the home to the greatest public system the world has ever seen. you get a 65% decline overall in state support for those institutions. >> there's also the question, though, of what the universitiesing that money on. it's not just declining state support, it's also a variety of issues that money is being spent on that doesn't go directly to the undergraduate development. >> again, there are pieces of the puzzle that all need to be present. and that piece that -- that second piece i mentioned, the support of scholarship research inquiry, that is a part of what makes us and part of what makes undergraduate education so important. i think -- >> jack. >> yeah. >> you said something at the break. i don't know if you wanted to say this publicly, but i didn't know so i'm going to ask. the basketball program. >> we break even. >> how can that be? >> the great georgetown basketball program. >> thank you. >> you're paying those players too much. >> no. >> i'm not going to go there. >> one of the great myths, it generates lots and lots of money for lots of institutions. only within the last few years -- and it's primarily due to new media rights being paid for, essentially for the five majo

300,000 research personnel and more than 2,500 universities and research institutes throughout the united states. so that's affecting a lot more than california. it's affecting our colleagues around the country. and maybe they don't even realize what an impact that has. in san diego we're fortunate, we've got a lot of research, a lot of scientists working hard. and they received $1.13 billion in n.i.h. funding in 2012. it has sparked major breakthroughs. to the region and throughs otential break for millions around the country. so we're doing our part, but tragically the sequestration requires n.i.h. to cut 5% or $1.55 billion of its fiscal year 2013 budget. n.i.h. must apply the cut evenly across the board, the way things are today, that's why we need to change that. i hope we'll be able to do that. all those projects and activities which are primarily n.i.h. institutes and centers. it means that every era of medical research can be affected by that. every area. not just a few that maybe we think don't need the help. but every area. that's irrational. it's backward. that will harm millions of americans, current patients and future ones. and
