it's past time for real change at haskell.ed a draft piece of legislation to provide a federal charter for h haskell indian nations university and to remove the department of interior and the bureau of indian education from direct oversight of the university. the legislation will empower haskell with self-governments, providing an organizational structure that reflects its mission, community and needs of its students. the marker bill calls for the establishment of a new governing body at haskell, a board of regents who will be directly accountable to the students the, staff and to the tribes that haskell serves. the board would manage the university's budget, make decisions regarding academic programming, faculty and facilities, and ensure that the institution is providing a high-quality educational experience for students that attend haskell university, an educational experience that they deserve. i appreciate the support from the haskell board of regents. the president of the board, p brittany hall, said this, and i quote he

we have team coverage for you with reporter josh haskell. and we begin with reporter monica deanda. >> we're giving you a vantage point of what we are seeing, and i want to start here off to my right. okay. the canyon it's now we are seeing now more smoke filling this canyon and the flames starting to work their way down this way, which is an area of concern. and then off to my left you can start to see the smoke has kind of moved in here, but if you really look, there's that orange glow and of course, inching more toward the hillside. you can't see it, but there's an entire hillside there, a few couple of ridges, and then the entire community here filled with dozens and dozens of homes. and this is the area that my photographer, brian dunn, and i have been focusing on. we've been watching really close to see, you know, the resources coming in here to try and make sure that they protect these homes as best as possible. and we've seen we've heard the copters up above. we've heard the scoopers. they make the drops here and they continue to com

would not only pay my way through school, but it would give me the opportunity to be mentored by haskell jones, the station manager, and one of the few republicans in the entire county. and it was here that i became the first male in my entire family lineage to graduate from high school at the very same campus that stands today right down on main street and it was from here that i went on to college at washtau baptist university and also here that i first ran for elected office when i ran for student council at hope junior high school. [applause] >> so it seems perfectly fitting that it would be here that i announced that i am a candidate for president of the united states of america. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting] >> thank you. thank you. i'm glad you reacted that way. it would have been a very lonely day had you been quiet. you know, it was eight years ago that a young, untested, inexperienced an and virtually unknown freshman senator made speeches about hope and change and eight years later our debt's more than doubled and america's leadership in the worl

. >> yeah, josh haskel, abc 7 witness news, and mayor bass, i have been on the fire lines the last few days, and i've never seen firefighters this desperate. at hydrants, the water not coming up, and the pressure so low, the number 1 tool they use to fight the fires not there. how frustrated are you about that and also i'm getting texts right now from the palisades highlands community and 24 hours after the fire started, no resources up there and the hydrants are not working and where is the national guard? where are miles and miles of water tenders, how are you addressing this? >> first of all, you asked me if i was frustrated by this. of course. because we all know it's an unprecedented event. we also know the fire hydrants are constructed to deal with this type of massive devastation and that the number 1 problem, especially on tuesday -- i mean on wnesday was the fact that we weren't able to do the air support because of the winds. and so of course i am absolutely frustrated by that. i'm not sure that is correct that there are no resources up there. rest assured, as soon as we done

. >> we want to give you a look at some of the scenes from reporters rob mcmillan and josh haskell. >ain the level of devastation that i just saw. my photographer and i are literally numb from driving sunset boulevard from chautauqua to pacific coast highway. i'm not overexaggerating. it feels like 50 to 75% of pacific palisades is gone. that is not an exaggeration. the amount of homes i mean, we heard a thousand structures this morning. it's definitely going to be way more than that. the whole business district pretty much is gone. ralphs supermarket gone, gelson's gone. all the starbucks on the corner, the italian restaurant i cannot explain. i never thought that i'd ever have to cover devastation like this. and the fact that it's my hometown and the fact that, like institutions, pali high, the high school, my elementary school, badly damaged, village school gone, the library gone, corpus christi church gone. we just tried to get a signal up. we weren't able to. and the methodist church on via de la paz, which is such an institution in that town, completely on fire. we'll try and fe

those outcomes and experiences are learning activities, the habits and ways of being in school we haskellng people how it's going, they will tell you that i'm not actually engaging things that will help me today and tomorrow in the future in a really board. and don't really see a purpose for beingng here. kids will tell you when you asked them what's going on. in the report found it helpful to think about student engagementut along loads of engagement. and. we have students i know you want to talk about this but we have students that are really in that explorer mode small percentage of the students who are experiencing the schools in ways where they are able to ask questions and are able to make decisions about how they learn that have spent time and they have a really good chunk of students who are in the achievers so the store students might describe as well might be engaged a bit cognitively in school 90 what i'm told i'm not a behavior challenge in my coming homee okay and those are students generally speaking where the getting a's, the system said, they're doing right and we have in

i grew in my haskell years which also helped, and i was able to play the sport that i loved. four years and highly competitive levels, and i talk about sports a lot because we know the benefits of sports. people learn teamwork, you build confidence, you learn resilience. he developed lifelong friendships. so it is such an important aspect of our culture, and it is one that i think really long and hard about especially when it comes to fairness and safety. i would much prefer congress to be talking about title ix and how we closed some of the loopholes that prevent women from participating in college athletics. i'd love for us to be talking about how women's sports has really taken off in the last 10 years, and we seen women starting to get compensated through their name, image and likeness, and have really nurtured an incredible following and a fan base. that is something that has changed dramatically over my lifetime if something that my daughters get great pleasure in watching women play sports on their tv. so i think that of the exciting part of women's sports and that is
