they were doing at george mason university expectation. when push came to shove, top university administrators told the man who became the university's biggest donor over their first noble laureate and they pushed buchanan to the side, too. some of those now complaining loudest about my book with the billionaire over their friends and colleagues while buchanan's papers were left to rot were beginning to get cold and essentially unattended. few people one of them came to feel profound contempt for charles koch in its operation. he was a libertarian, so this is not like me an outsider talking about this. what i'm about to redo comes from a person who ran the foundation in virginia and he was deeply involved in this cause, but he got more and more disgusted after the turn of the new century after wealthy people are taking over what was supposed to have been a movement of ideas. the conclusion opens with the unheated whistleblowing and then we can go on to the discussion. it is a contradiction in terms to remain the self-governing intellectual

called what they were doing at george mason university exploitation. and when push came to shove, top university administrators chose the man who became the universities biggest donor over their first nobel laureate, and they pushed buchanan to the side also. and some of those who are now complaining loudest about my book was the billio billionairer the friend and colleague into fancy swanky new quarters provided by charles koch while buchanan papers were left to rot in the building does begetting to get bold and was essentially untended. there were a few people who remained loyal, and one of them came to feel profound contempt for charles koch and his operation. i think this is very interesting because he was a libertarian. this is not like me an outsider talking about this. what i'm about to read you come from a person who is buchanan's colleagues of you who ran the john locke foundation i believe is called the virginia. he was deeply involved in this cause by the couple and more disgusted after the turn of the new century at the way wealthy business

after buchanan died in january of 2013, i finally got access to his private archives at george mason. ironically just as government shutdown led by republicans who had been exposed to his ideas and trained in his ideas were engaging in this government shutdown in the case of what buchanan might have called bargaining. in those papers, and they were wherever and chaotic. found healther skeeter on the chair a series of letters from a blowup that happened after charles koch started investing massively in george is mason university and, in fact, some of the people connected with operation engaged in what confidential whistle-blower identified as probably illegal activity in its violation of the tax codes. [laughter] and so that was also pretty heart stopping. in any event once i brought home hundreds and hundred was documents that i copied there and a put them together with published work and sources i found myself laying down piece was a puzzle sometimes to be honest literally nauseated me when i saw the scope of the operation being guided by this individual which i started to follow out

host: david beckworth is with the george mason university, the mercatus center there. when we talk about monetary policy, what are we talking about? guest: we are talking about the conditions of money, interest rates, spending in the u.s. economy. the federal reserve manages it and guides it, so when we talk about monetary policy, we end up with the federal reserve. host: how can they manipulate or change it? control overave short-term interest rates. long-term interest rates are controlled by the markets. what they can do is ultimately limit or change price stability. if they want to keep prices stable, they have to guard their own behavior. they do not want to go reckless and flood the markets with too much money, but at the same time, they do not want to be excessively in the other direction. they have to guard their own behavior. host: when you say they have control over short-term and long-term interest rates, give an exemplary of how they have or could manipulate the economy. guest: what they do is they controlled the creation of the dollar. at the end of the day

along with george mason. was not happy about the rights that were proposed. randolph and mason, interestingly, originally supported a strong central government. and were supporters of the constitution. but during the course of the debates over the constitution, they both became concerned that it did not include a bill of rights and that a tyrannical central government might come to mention the inalienable and natural rights retained by the people. mason was the author of the virginia declaration of rights, which was so inspiring and important to thomas jefferson, that he had a copy of it beside him when he wrote the declaration of independence. and the virginia declaration, which looks quite a lot like our bill of rights, because james madison would ultimately come to rely on it, set out the basic natural and inalienable rights that mason believed that governments were created to protect rather than menace. it won't be a surprise. youen en kcan check it out onl. and compare the language in the virginia declaration of rights with the ultimate bill of rights and

eldridge gary of massachusetts and randolph of virginia and george mason of virginia. first of all, let's talk a little bit about each of them and eldridge gary. i learned to prouns it gary, and i learned to pronounce the practice that his name inspired as gerrymandering. you can't really say it that way is the practice of drawing voting districts so that they snake around in such funny shapes that they look like a salamander and gary was famous in massachusetts for presiding over such a district and they're designed to ensure that your party wins and to protect incumbents or if the state legislature is drawing up the seats to ensure that their party retains power impeach so gary created this district that looked like a salamander and people ridiculed it as a form of gerrymandering and that's what we have today. and edmond randolph of virginia along with george mason was not happy about the rights that were proposed and they originally supported a strong supporters of the government and during the course of the debates over the constitution they both became concerned t

secretary-general of the oecd, the deputy managing director of the imf, the economics professor at george masonversity, and the head of chinese equities at blackrock. >> i think the respondents hit a really, really good topic, which is the geopolitical or geoeconomic tension. i absolutely agree that things like productivity and debt burdens are a threat, but these are not things that were built up overnight. they were built up over a number of years, and to some extent we may even see -- let's say artificial intelligence, technology offset some of these concerns over the medium-term. i do believe that is the biggest issue to consider, the geoeconomic issues. that really brings us back to the unpredictable nature of some of these driving forces. for example, what's happening in north korea, what's happening in the middle east. a lot of unexpected things have arisen, and even with that aside, we still have all of trump's agenda in terms of protectionism and trade wars globally, which fortunately, so far, haven't really panned out to the extent he has talked about during the election. stephen: you

joining us tonight, george mason 's school. isis quickly claimed responsibility for this attack. i'm always curious, are they actually behind things like this or are they just glomming on and taking credit for some things other people do. >> that's a great question. is is has been sending out people to europe. it's unclear right now, there are signs of this may have been isis operatives because we've seen another attack going on 70 miles south of the scene in barcelona. there are signs that have been a coordinated attack. there was also an explosion last night in another location. we're seeing more and more of these attacks using a car, any kind of vehicle. what can be done to possibly stop this or thwart these attacks. anyone can get in a car and get on the road. this is one of the challenges of living in a fairly free society. when you have an open society it's hard to commit against terrorists. when people are using ordinary things like vehicles, it's very hard to avoid. why have we seen a rise in those type of attacks in. >> well, look, i mean isis has ideology that's attract

support of a concept the george mason had which is maladministration and maladministration basically says you're doing a ph but to save the nation from a president who's incapable of leading the country and making sure the president of the country is in good shape it's not a punishment technique of punishing somebody because he violated a law and then you remove him from office in fact it's not even double jeopardy to be impeached and then tried later it's not a crime it's a it's an opportunity to act on behalf of the country you know the house democrats filed a no confidence resolution against the president in july what happened with us. well it's been introduced it first was twenty now it's up to thirty twenty nine people and myself and that was kind of like impeachment light or would now be considered to censure ship it would need the republicans to schedule it for a hearing it i doubt they will we're asking chairman goodlatte in judiciary to have hearings on some of the incidents in charlottesville i don't know that doubt he'll still do that either we're the only committee of sta

he holds masters degrees in public policy from george mason university school of policy, government and international affairs. he graduated summa cum laude from bowling green state university with a bachelor's degree in history and political science. with that we will go to dock their -- doctors lisa knepper. >> i'm not a doctor i appreciate the permission. more workers than ever need a permission slip from the government before they can do their job. that permission slip of courses called an occupational license and to get one you will have to meet certain criteria established by the government. you may be required to attend school for four years or cosmetology school college for four years or cosmetology school for 1600 hours. you may be required to apprentice in her occupation for two, three or four years. he may have they to pass an exam or two they nearly always you will have to pay a fee. the share of the american work horse subject to licensing red tape has been on the rise since the 1950s. back then just one in 20 americans needed a license to work. today that figure is closer t

joining me from washington, d.c., to discuss the director of george mason's school of law jamil jafferk you first of all, what is your reaction to this news and how serious is it? >> i think this is a big move by the north koreans. problematic that it flew over japanese airspace which is troubling news. they have sought missiles before into the sea of japan which japan has been concerned about. this is a change of pace and troubling. emily: what makes this one different? >> having violated japanese making japanests report to its people a missile may be inbound. that is disconcerting from a defensive perspective for japan. they have always known north korea has the capability of reaching japan with blistered missiles, much further today. but this is a provocative move i think. emily: there has been concern about the remarks president trump has made about north korea, concerns about trump's approach. what do you think about that as having potentially precipitated this? >> i think to the contrary, president trump's approach has pushed them back. they have not launched toward guam. they've

george mason the father of the bill of rights also owned a slaves unfortunately.oes that make what they wrote illegitimate? if these men were racist villainsak and that's all they were, then the society as they created was as evil as they were. there's no reason to respect its traditions or uphold its laws. the first amendment, the rights to speak freely for hundreds of years, americanss have revered t the left dismisses it as the work of white supremacist slaveholders, itit is worthless, it must go. it is now routine for liberals to claim that hate speech isn't protected by the first amendmen first amendment, but the whole point of the first amendment is to protect speech that offendspe people.. it is not common, cnn's chris cuomo now said it. he's a lawyer at pomona college in california, students are mining free speech is a tool appropriated by hegemonic institutions. at the right of free expressions should onlyly apply to certain racial groups but that's not racist because as you know because there is no racism on the left, they are just sincere people concern

joining me right now is a law professor at george mason university and former associate council to georgesh. i'd like to hear your reaction on what the congressman just said. >> yeah, thanks, alex. i served with congressman schiff when he was on the committee, i was on the staff. and he's right the investigation is moving forward, but this is the very beginning as he sort of mentioned. this is a standard investigative technique to use a grand jury to get information. we're a long way from indictments, if those ever even come, and it's really just a matter of beginning the investigation, moving the ball down the road. >> so in terms of the logistics, the virginia grapd jury wnd jur panel a full year ago. does that surprise you, we're talking to grand injuries that have already been put in place in d.c. and virginia? >> the virginia grand jury was looking to specific things like the flynn investigation and the like. and i think -- i think -- i think we're about to, you know, i think they are moving forward on that part and then the d.c. grand jury is looking specifically into, i think, the

he holds a masters degree in public policy from george mason university, government international affairs, graduated soon make him latte from bowling green state university with a bachelor's degree in history and political science. with that we will go to lisa. >> more american workers than ever need a permission slip from the government before they can do their job but permission slips, of course, is an occupational license. to get one you have to meet certain criteria established by the government. you may be required to attend school for four years or cosmetology school or college for four years or cosmetology for 1600 hours. you may be required to apprentice in your chosen occupation for two, three or even four years. you may have to pass an exam or two. nearly always you'll have to pay fees. the share of the american workforce subject to such licensing redtape has been on the rise since the 1950s. back then just one in the americans needed a license to work. today that figure is closer to one in four. as terry pointed out this morning these policies hurt the poor in two key ways: fir

. >> george mason university. are we underestimating the importance of soft power with government sanctions? in two weeks, 150 first year students will be taking my class. ? sanctions work i anticipate the answer is no because most of my students -- i don't want to be stereotypical, but many think you post sanctions, find out they work. if they get five, you lift the sanctions. so we'll see if something is sufficient, it must work immediately. maybe we underestimate the prolonged self impact of the cold war, the fact result in the 1980's and early 1990's. my friends, she spent 16 hours going to london and back, two hours in the country there, and talks about wasting her time. why waste her time resort maybe that is the impact of business women, businessmen who see the complications and the annoyance and the inconvenience of the sanctions may be able to finally accumulate something more related. my question is, maybe we need to be more patient and see. it is not great, but it could impact that regime. >> we have th

talk more about this i'm joined by law professor at george mason university and opinion columnist atost." margaret and nick are back with us, as well. thank you for being here. briefly take us through what the constitution and the war powers act of 1973 mandates and how this specific situation applies to that. right, technically, the korean war never really ended. >> yes. so, the constitution reserves to congress the power to declare war. doesn't give that power to the president. so, if they want to start a new war, it would have to go through congress. the war powers act actually imposes in some ways additional limitations. it says if the president sends american troops into a situation of armed hostilities, then after 60 days, he either has to withdraw the troops and an additional 30 days after that or get congressional authorization and arm hostility is actually a broader category than just war. >> some members of congress made the point to me, to others. if north korea provokes, for example, by firing missiles to guam. towards guam in guam. then the president can act because he i

a second book i would recommend is george mason university law school professor, i would recommend this as well. you're going to get a somewhat different take on the facts of what was happening in the bakeshop trade than you've heard so far. you haven't heard anything about the difference between the bakeshop companies, the large bakery companies who actually were not necessarily working their workers longer hours. they could lose shift workers for example because they had enough workers to work around the clock that way. baking does involve a certain amount of round-the-clock tending of the ovens. and if you have many, many employees, it's easier to work them in shifts to handle that. if you have a very, very small bakeshop, a solo bakeshop, then it's harder to do that. and at that point employees have to stay longer. they have to sleep somewhere nearby so they can get up and tend the ovens. and this was a law that was primarily and at the time it was actually quite consciously and quite publicly known to be aimed at a particular subset of the bakeshop industry. and that was the bakesh

partnered up with this fancy university, george mason and they have a center for history and new media and they decided that this would be a great project to start thinking about digital media. new history and start thinking about the way in which we interact with history. so the bracero history project began as i started graduate school at brown. what did we do? we started collecting oral histories and objects, so i was sent out to places like san bernardino, i was sent out to salinas. i was sent out to coachella to train communities to collect their own oral histories and i carried my heavy backpack with a scanner and a recorder to collect oral histories myself. when the opportunity came to collect oral histories in mexico i lobbied and decided i wanted to collect oral histories in states that weren't traditional sending states. when you think about the bracero history, the traditional sending states were michuocan. jalisco and juanowuato. the yucatan in quintinaroo. i took them back to every other community that hen had been trained to deposit histories in oral archives, undergradua

i know george mason has a program to get people in government, gw recruits quite heavily some of the agencies and industry is starting to do this as well. that's absolutely critical especially in cyber to build off of what samara was saying in the '90s when this was new. i'd argue that cyber is a continually new field in whatever skills you had ten years ago may not apply today. those skills evolve faster than imaginable. the actual curiosity in targeting that new talent is coming out that is up to speed they skills is absolutely key. i think that's one of the things that we can do to both encourage the university, the college pursuit and funnel that right into the hiring process. >> i would say that the discussion about lack of capacity, diversity and gender perspective cyber security is not a whole lot different from the same discussions we were having years ago about women in math and about women pewter science. what makes it so much more compelling today is that we need so much more capacity in cyber security that we have ever needed in math or in traditional computer science. th
