lastly, at the federal level, especially now, we are not seeing any protections for it. i seedeeply worried when what is happening at the department of education, around the office of civil rights, how many complaints have been dismissed outright, just in the last few weeks. if there was no place to take these complaints, if there was

merritt: at the federal level, we observed one case in which one federal organization d.c. was not aware of how much property had been transferred to that agency or to its respective activities in the field. that was quickly remedied when they contacted them, they were able to obtain a list and halt any approval at that time. at the local and state sites, that went pretty well because they have a state coordinator. a lot of the processes were being double check. unlike the federal level, there were more checks and balances. >> i yield back. >> we now proceed to austin scott. congressman scott: my questions are primarily for the dla. you said that you recognize the problem prior to the examination. >> correct. congressman scott: when did you recognize the problem? >> we started our efforts in september 2015. he began by bringing in federal agencies for more training to ensure they knew how to work with the program. that led to the development of the memorandum of understanding. when we heard in march 2017 the investigative what had happened as you heard we quickly moved to i

according to a parks and rec spokesman, the menu comes from the federal level, and is determined by a federal nutritionist. >> i like the camp, i just was very, very disappointed at this lunch option if there's other parents out here that are struggling, they can't necessarily provide lunch for their kids every single day, and maybe some parents sign up for this camp, because it's one of the only camps that does provide any type of food, and to find out this is what they provide, i just, that's deplorable to me. >> reporter: in montgomery county, marcella robertson, wusa9. >> a spokesperson for park and rec says they're happy to provide these meals, and they hope people understand the food is coming from the federal level. all of those cheese sandwiches are served with milk and some type of fruit or vegetable. >>> dane smothers jr. was hurt last week after he was hit by a fire truck. it was his second month on the job. that breakfast is being held at the tune in restaurant on capitol hill. a $20 donation will get you food and drinks, and all of money will go toward paying smothers' me

enough resources in the state, we don't have enough resources readily available at this federal level. to do all of these rescues, so what the navy did, what private citizens are out there doing on jet keys and flat bottomed boats and ski boats, is absolutely critical to the rescue efforts. i think the president was as impressed as anything they saw and was also very impressed with texas managed this. i think his focus is in the right place. i was supposed to be in kaz at stan and the ukraine, so we had sunday then on president asked me to stay and help with this. as a cabinet member, i have got as much experience doing with anybody on the cabinet. so as far as i know, today is as good a day as any for me to go down. i live there. i will be in texas on saturday. where i am is yet to be decided. but i am there. i have got confidence that -- houston is the most diversified city in america. you have got people from all over the world. you have got folks impacted. search and rescue mode first, then recovery mode second. the idea that this is just about texans is a bit of a misnomer. this

you tend to pay a bit more even at the federal level. compared to medicaid, medicaid is much larger. it covers 37 million children and cost a lot more. around a lot longer. medicaid tends to cover children are lower incomes and oftentimes with entire health care needs, robustd has a more bennett -- pediatric benefit because it's understanding its covering this population with low income and high need. the chip benefit package depends state to state. it can be more based on private insurance models, recognizing children and that income range typically maybe 200% of poverty which would be about $40,000 for a family of three. those families can afford a little bit more premiums, they have -- the benefit package reflects that. host: i want to invite viewers to join in. if your questions or comments. republicans, 202-748-8001, democrats 202-748-8000, independents 202-748-8002. a special line for parents of chip recipients. that number is [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, --202-748-8003. why is there action that needs

rescue people so this is going long-term effort, resources being mobilized in state level, the federal levels well, fema has been deploying resources and, of course, we are preparing for the visit of president trump tomorrow and his concern was that it would take away from the flood response, trying to make sure that this is done with the least impact possible, back to you, guys. heather: thank you, doug. >> thank you so much. other stories making headlines, surplus military equipment to local police department, the program which supplies cops with armored vehicles, high-caliber weapons bus disbanded by the obama administration. policy change at the fraternal order in police conference in nashville today. heather: bodies of all ten missing sailors are now recovered following the uss john john mccain deadly collision in south china sea. u.s. navy and divers recovering remains from the ship's flooded compartments, this is the navy's fourth major incident in the region this year. >> massive protest march kicks off from charlottesville this morning, the goal to get president trump out of office,

level -- lever that you can change to affect that. and when the systems are what sociologists call and i call in my book loose couplings, they're loosely connected, it means if the federal government wants to do something, it's not translatedded down to the school level. -- translatedded down to the school level or to the classroom level. because each of those entities has a lot of, has a lot of autonomy. they have all sorts of ways to not comply or to comply in a way that appears that they're complying, but they're really not. so just as a quick example of that, think of the no child left behind at the federal level that was passed by president bush in 2001. so that was an effort be by federal government to the tell states -- to tell states you have to have, articulate what your standards are for your grades 3-10, you have to articulate what you're expecting kids to learn, and then you have to demonstrate to us that the kids have actually learned those things that you want them to learn. that was kind of the essence of what no child left behind was. set standards and then tell us, prove to us that kids have met those standards. so if you know anything about no child le

the politics behind it at the federal level especially -- nobody will take that stand. the rationale for keeping marijuana illegal at the federal level and keeping it scheduled where it is, that's slowly starting to crumble when you see statistics when people have the option between heroin and legal marijuana. >> i am not quite sure where i stand. i see arguments on both side. kennedy: you see the research on ptsd. >> that's part of the reason i shift on this. i think senator berke is doing it because it benefit senator booker. you can look at sentencing and other things to get at that. kennedy: those are things he tied together. there is an argument to be made there. but if you just focus on decriminalizing and descheduling marijuana be you will see some of those issues in criminal justice start to evolve. >> we have some of the lowest punitive measures that disproportionately affect young african-american men. you look at who's sitting in these prisons. senator booker has been on the right side of criminal justice reform in many areas. it benefits senator booker and a

the bill would remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances making it legal at the federal levele new legislation for individual states to liberalize marijuana laws. >> you do restorative justice. finding ways to take communities that have been impacted and helping them to heal and to recover from what has been the unjust application of the law. >> the bill would also be retroactive and expunge previous marijuana convictions from nonviolent offenders' records. the bill comes as a study shows a e growing number of moms are putting down their wine glasses and lighting up. according to the cdc, more and more parents in cities and suburbs are use iing the drug. a california woman is part of a group of moms that smoke every day. they say it helps them cope with stress and deal with physical ailments. they are trying to change the stigma associated with pot smoking, but not everybody is on board. >> smoking is unhealthy and by sending a message that we're smoking something to cope, it sends the wrong message. >> it doesn't make you lazy. i'm not out playing with my kids. we're just tha

are going to get through is to make sure we're latched together at the local state level and the federal level and i can assure you that we are. you.k >> thank you good day folks. been saying emergency manage comment about partnership these se guys around me judges and mayor's and first responders. disasters begin and wednesday these guys and when they're capacity has been steps in he governor with his support and providing tremendous leadership and support is my designed to back fill the overnor's needs and make sure we're here to support you guys and we'll be here helping you guys to recover. have guys on the ground already here in corpus christi the area. while all eyes are on houston, fully aware that port rock and thers took a brunt there's a lot of damage. you know to this point we're ontinuing to support the life safety efforts. in 8500 ally rolled members and people from around the federal government to be in texas and in louisiana are making sure we're anticipating occurditional issues that there. of those about 1100 are rescue.rming search and it's my job to coordinate the resources

we are in good hands at the federal level. as you might know, the secretary of homeland security and fema administrator are responsible for bringing together the firepower of the government to assist state and local governments, but the state and local governments are in the lead here, and we have a lot of theect for and faith in governors of these states in the affected path. governor john bel edwards in louisiana has a strong handle on what he is doing and governor added in texas likewise. we would like to reinforce their planning efforts, challenge the people in the path to be prepared to listen to their institutions and their state and local governments. now is not the time to lose faith in your government institutions. those emergency managers giving you advice and making recommendations for you to evacuate are doing so with your best interest at heart. we encourage you to listen to them. lastly, a little shameless plug here for all americans to visit ready.gov. i think maybe you will learn something if you go there that

the federal government isn't stepping in to fund these particular situations. so are we looking at kind of two different levels of representation, one on the state and a different one in the federal courts or in the district of columbia. >> there are many states i would guess are up to the federal standard. but i would guess there are many states that are nowhere near the federal standard. there's not enough money for the public defenders. i don't think it's a problem that's likely to be solved at the federal level. i don't know what the solution to it is, but i don't think the accused have much of a lobby in their favor. and it's not likely to change as a result of the voters rising up and saying we're not doing the right thing here. >> if you look at some of the new changes, one of the areas that has prompted a lot of interest in the last two and a half decades is the development of dna and the use of dna in criminal prosecutions and defenses. those tests change, it seems to me, every few years. have any of you had any experience with the dna testing and the special challenges that poses? >> dna, i actually

but so far the planning from the federal level at fema. fema used to wait for the governors to call them in. no more after katrina. they were there about 48 hours before harvey moved in to the texas coastline to the governor, to the local authorities. there's been a clear chain of command. they have been on top of it with governor abbott calling out the entire national guard on monday. they're acting as swiftly as they can at this point. the president, it's about the walk, not the talk. it will be interesting to see how he addresses this. and in missouri at 2:30, he's giving a talk about tax reform. he needs to stay focused on the people of texas. >> and the people criticizing the president's trip there have been saying things like we're wasting resources sending them there. this is all for optics. i'm pointing out -- >> they want to see him fail. they're looking for reasons for the president to fail. not right now, not this. this is not the time for political blood sport. people watching this storm coverage, they are watching people survi

, possible the federal level was necessary should ensure that americans have a hand up in the american life and everyone has a chance to live a life of their own choosing. even if requires government assistance. then i'll move on to the second point which is why it is that the republicans have lost their way and how it is that in a very odd sense, donald trump has recaptured some, not all, but some of the reagan insight. it is no surprise that ronald reagan and donald trump are the only two people who were republican nominees in last 40 years to win dramatically among whites without a college degree and in the midwest and winning the state that determine who becomes president and states and constituencies since 1896 have determined which party runs the american national government. so why do i say that reagan was not an anti-new deal conservative? it is because that is what he basically was telling people from the moment he stepped out onto the political sphere. most people who have studied reagan know that he began life as an democrat. his father was a democrat, he inherited his fathe

>> you can to get the state, local or federal level. i was in california at the time, so we could spend the entire segment talking about one tenth of the problem in california with regulations. on the federal side, it was a constant influx of new regulations such as that in the department of labor. it's putting in place new requirements making it easier to unionize. they had the blacklisting legislation or regulation, the regulations that were going to require attorneys to disclose the discussions they were having with their employer clients during the course of attempts to unionize and that was called blacklisting, then the standard where they tried to make the franchise liable for the employees of the franchisees which would have completely destroyed the franchise business with devito that didn't exist anymore. there were efforts to increase $48,000 of salary level, below which you had to pay overtime pay even if you have somebody that was managing a restaurant and got an incentive-based bonus which would have occurred particularly in

we're in good hands at the federal level. of ou might know secretary homeland security are responsible for bringing together the fire power to state and local government but the state and local governments are in the a we have respect nd faith in the governors of these respective ones as well. louisiana has a good handle on what he's doing and governor abbot like wise. to reenforce their planning efforts and challenge people to be prepared and listen and state and local governments. faith.t the time to lose best interests and then encourage a shameless plug. i think maybe you learn something if you go there and it help you and your family. an idea of what the president is doing to monitor the development of the storm and what he'll be doing moving campaign this weekend. done.what he has fairly regular briefings. john kelly and myself and had in touch with the secretary and that started several weeks months as weeveral transition in this administration you saw president give a talkfema and to the team but also to set the expec

they're not very good at the federal level and they end up destroying people. what's the number one way you get self-esteem? can anyone give it to you? you're the self-esteem generation. everybody tries to give it to you. everybody gets a trophy. right? everybody's a winner, right? no, you get self-esteem by doing something. it doesn't mean that everything is a concert pianist, not everyone is an opera singer, a professional baseball player, a doctor or a lawyer but you get your self-esteem by doing things so i think big government comes in and takes that away from you. you get it through work. i say yes, we should have work requirements for welfare, absolutely. work is not a punishment. work is the reward. work is how you feel better about yourself, no matter what it is. that's how you get your self-esteem by doing something, producing something. we have to figure out what we think government should do. the first argument against big government is liberty argument. that if you give up 90% of your check, you're losing your liberties. my dad used to say well, th

small government, really at every level but particularly at the federal level. i call it the liberty argument and the efficiency argument. the liberty argument, when you work and you get your check and let's say you have $100. whose money is it? it's your labor. you traded for something that paid you $100. you are arguing for anarchy, no taxes. there will be taxes. law enforcement, national defense and several -- there's probably one or two other things. i can't remember the other ones. we'd have a small government that does things and you'd have some taxes, but if i told you you made $100 and the taxes were going to with $90 out of every $100 would you think i stole -- took something that was yours, stole something that was yours, that i took some of your liberty? so the argument is for the lowest taxable level you can have in the government we have to have to do things that can't be done in the private marketplace. mostly national defense. very few other things. national defense needs to be done by the government. even entitlement programs and all, that i'd do

we know tom price said on the federal level, there is no plan to do a national emergency. tant is it for states to work with each other, and to draw some support from federal government, but really just rely on each other here? >> well, jim, thank you for the question. and we are clearly working with the federal government, as we speak right now. highly engaged with federal criminal justice system, engaged with health and human services, cdc, high level of working coordination occurring, we also working with our neighboring states from regional perspective to develop best practices. and to start executing those. you'll see behind me, an ambulance here, anne arundel county maryland, launched safe station program where mobile crisis teams can come out 24 hours a day, when somebody needs to access treatment, they just come to a station. that's the best practice that we will be looking at rolling out through maryland. so we are working with the federal government. this is about trying to tweak and make sure that we're in address probably the biggest crisis that we've seen in th

we watched a number of failures on immigration legislation at the federal level.e had republican legislators and democratic legislators in congress who tried to move something else forward, and they failed! this is an abject legislative congressional failure. but it's relevant because these people's lives hang in the balance. >> by the way, do you guys know what happened to joe arpaio, who supposedly was complying with the law? that guy was going well beyond what the mandate was supposed to be. he was going out and deliberately, in a discriminatory manner, looking for people who looked a certain way and thought, "well, you know what? these guys, they got to be illegal aliens. they committed specific crimes." >> racial profiling. >> he has been held in contempt of court. >> that's a different issue from what we're talking about. >> all right, hold on. val, next point. go ahead, val. >> it's a different issue. >> let val it wrap up. go ahead. >> when ice comes and says, "are you holding on detainer illegal aliens?" and the mayor says no or law enforcement says no, t

the problem with george w bush's response was the apparent disorganisation at federal level, fema, themergency management agency, was not doing a very good job of coordinating between the different state agency and government and there was an optics problem as well, george w bush captured playing the guitar when the hurricane was hitting, flying over the disaster area, he appeared looking out of the window, not taking it as seriously as many people wanted him to. it's obvious donald trump has tried to learn from those lessons and been active on twitter with his comments today, going there twice, these are the sorts of things a president can do to reassure the nation that he is on top of the situation. we forget, though, that george w bush earlier had overseen some successful disaster relief efforts in florida during the 2003, early 200a. 50 it's not impossible to manage this, even for somebody like george w bush. the potential for stumbling and potential for stumbling and potential pitfalls are great and we saw what happened and it essentially wrecked george w bush's presidency. is the

you can take it as a state and local or federal level itch was in california at the time, so we could spend the entire segment talking about one tenth of the problems businesses have in california with regulation. on the federal side, it was the constant influx of new regular layings, such as that of the department of labor, who was putting in new requirements michaeling it easier to unionized, and the black bit offing regulation, regulations that were going to require attorneys to disclose the discussions they were having with their employer clients during the course of attempts to unionize; crawled black blitzing. the employer standard where they tried to make franchisors jointly responsibility for the franchisees, and would completely destroy the franchise model. had to increase to $48,000 the salary level below which you had to pay overtime pay. even if you had somebody who was managing a restaurant and got an incentive based bonus, which would have hurt particularly franchise restaurant business, retail businesses in general, economically. all of this was coming down the pike. yo
