i believe we have the character to provide it. tonight, i plead with the congress and with the people to act promptly to serve the national interest and thereby serve all of our people. let me give you my estimate of the chances for peace. the peace that will one day stop the bloodshed in south vietnam that all of the vietnamese people be permitted to redevelop -- to rebuild and develop their land. that will permit us to turn more fully to our own tasks here at home. i cannot promise the initiative i have announced tonight will be completely successful in achieving peace anymore than the 30 others we have undertaken in recent years. but, it is our fervent hope that north vietnam, after years of fighting that has left the issue unresolved, will cease its efforts to achieve a military victory, and will join with us in toward the peace table. they may come a time when south vietnamese on both sides are able to work out a way to settle their differences by free political choice rather than by war. as hanoi considers its course, it shou

i have talked to the national park foundation. they have done a wonderful job. their target of raising private funds is just under $1 billion this year. i believe they will make it. we have a good board. as you know, what you are addressing an $11.7 billion backlog, even though the centennial was a great program, it did not meet the requirement of our funding of our parks. the last great effort was really mission 66 back from 56 to 66, which was a great effort. much of our billings today are a reduction of the program. sen. portman: let me interrupt you for a second. as i look at the fy19 budget from you all, i'll see any funding for the centennial challenge with the exception of the senior pass. again, we fought hard to get this funding into the appropriations bills and the cr's and now the omnibus. hasn, chairman murkowski --n a leader on that hon. zinke: i have $15 million in it. sen. portman: in the fy19 budget? hon. zinke: mandatory funding in 2019. sen. portman: is that the senior pass? hon. zinke: i will figure out whether it is from the senior pass, but i

i have been without work since 2013. ditor in the third daily newspaper in finland. but then, they decided to put down all the section of the foreign affairs, so basically i lost myjob. it's not easy to find a job as a journalist in the capital of finland. so for tuomas, being chosen for a basic income pilot was a dream come true. it helps me as a freelancer and it is social security in a way, without the stigma. for me, it is not embarrassing anymore to get benefits. work has changed and social politics has to follow that trend now. i think that this basic income will encourage people to get back to the society and not be at home. and he thinks finland can afford a system like this one. the northern countries are more prepared for this kind of basic income system because the same money is there already. we pay taxes. now we spend it in a smart way. the budget for the basic incomes experiment is 20 million euros. this is an experiment, not a full model. the problem is that it will be paid by the tax money from hard—workin

i didn't have that. i couldn't physically offer -- if you look at the proposal, it's a pilot project to see if if they could even collect data. to be super clear, what was sent out was a proposal to see if they could do a pilot program where they could -- the thing is said to him is "i don't know if you can actually re-create -- i was very skeptical that we could -- we create some kind of equivalent of cambridge analytica in the amount of time they had, just practically." even using -- let's for argument sake, so i'm being clear, not proposing to you, but for argument's sake, even if you used the cogan app, even if i had access to it, to collect that 50 million records -- we started using the app at the end of may. and that full collection didn't complete until september. so if you were doing that during the period of referendum, let's say for argument's sake you refuse it. julian knight: you didn't propose this before the referendum had been called. you proposed it in january. the response to you was let

i looked at a piece of paper and it shows three stories, so we have -- i think we have a completely poisoned process. i am not saying that the project is right or wrong. but it's poisoned because just a little cyanide was poured in the water. so i'm really confused legally -- >> do you have a question? >> i am confused legally and looking at the city attorney. is this -- what happens when -- what happens with something like this? where the city screwed up, misled the public, and also -- >> i do have a question. >> what happens? and you can answer the same questions. because it must have happened before. >> what happens when there is a mistake made like this? >> i don't know that i have ever experienced this exact situation where the wrong plans were sent out with 311 notice. what we have before and this is something that came to you not too long ago is where a project had a bbn notice filed. and that was not called. and the permit was approved, issued, whether there should have been the bbn notice. and there are questions there about, well, one option is to revoke the permit and start from t

i have changed its name to the uptight pharmacy. i go there very but i never buy them on the holidays or when flowers are expected. i buy them when i want to give a rose. or a daisy to somebody as a way of saying. you're special. and i love you. and so i have stayed connected here for such a long time. but as we heard the minister say here a few minutes ago. . a few weeks ago, something unfolded that none of us whoever lived in westerville could imagine. and that was the killing of two great police officers. eric during and anthony morrelly. this town came together to-i talked to a guy in albany who said we have been following it even here. and it was remarkable, i suppose, if you follow westerville, yes, it's gotten bigger, but it's still a small town at heart. and today as you go around the city, people will not take those blue ribbons down. no matter how many people say you've got to take those blue ribbons down, they won't take them down. and businesses have been adding the blue stripe, and it's been an amazing outpouring and we'

i have a daughter and a son. ver since they got out of school. people ask if they worry about me and i say they do but they also respect the fact that this is what i want to do. the post office and the little grocery store closed at about the same time we bought this in ‘71. so that put us into the only business. i open the bar at 9. trucks come and salesmen come and customers come and some people come to visit and have a cup of coffee. they leave messages for one another. they call to see if someone is here. it is a meeting place, a hub, and i think everyone feels welcome to come. everyone needs a place like that, i guess, including myself. i needed this type of vehicle to haul things for work and what have you. being as i am the only one who lives in town i thought it would be great to show it off, i guess. monowii. i don't go anywhere where people don't recognise me, that's for certain. it was a very active church until the middle of the 1960s. i used to go to church and sunday school there. my father's funeral

i have his voice. so if somebody wants to contradict something he does in the book, i'm sorry, i can get him to tell you. i love that. that's the best example of that personal getting into the head of a character in all of these books. >> host: so the frozen hours, you can use direct quotes from general smith. >> guest: yes. and i tried to use direct quotes in all the books i've done when the quotes were available. i mean, ulysses grant, there are plenty, there's a bunch of robert e. lee. the more modern you go, the more there is. pershing, eisenhower, patton. i've got patton's papers. boy, is that some good stuff, and some not so -- some stuff you can't repeat. [laughter] but, yes, that's crucial to the research. >> host: jeff shaara, is it fair to say that you avoid foul language in your books as much as possible? >> guest: you know, yes, and there are two reasons for that. one, i was -- can when gods and generals came out, i'm on tour, and this young man comes up to me and says is there anything in y

and i have to figure out what is a good narrative and then i have to find the paperwork so it built out of two sources. we have to find and track down material in the national archives here. the files of the district of columbia government. i also had to find the story about the building itself in the construction of the building. it was a challenge to find the material it wasn't much of a challenge trying to find people that would talk people were very generous all the way through people were generous with their time all the way through. if i said i really want to talk to. they were very open. members of the national press club as do all journalists love to hear about breaking news about new news while your book is about history going back to the 1960s what nuggets did you uncover in your research. there were several surprises in the book and i think it was spread out over 50 years. one that comes to mind immediately as on the eve of the break-in the democratic national committee that was on the verge of eviction. they were trying to evict the democrats for being chronically late on th

[laughter] i have time. [laughter] i have the magic minutes. am proud of representative kennedy on the night of the state of the union. he didn't hold back. ok. he proved there is only one difference between a democrat and a pitbull. [laughter] as republicans are finding out, president trump is full of surprises. you have -- he may have heard i am going to be a guest judge on rupaul's drag race. [applause] i have got to say, it was a lot of fun to see the look of panic and mitch mcconnell's eyes when i told him i was being named a judge. [applause] [laughter] by the way, do you think mike pence is allowed to dying alone with a man in drag it? -- dine alone with a man in two drag? [laughter] i hear there is a new favorite pastry the white house has. it is a nutty, white filling, stuffed into dough. they call it the staff turnover. how about gary cohn he threatened to resign after charlottesville. but backed down. i guess he finally got some steel in his spine. hey, i warned them. i warned them. some of you may have been at last year's dinner, i s

i have total confidence in him. and as far as rex tillerson is concerned, i very much appreciate his commitment and his service and wish him well. he's a good man. >> mr. president, what did you tell rex tillerson? president trump we have been talking about this for a long time. dill till i received a call from the president of the united states a little afternoon time from air force one and have spoken to chief of staff white house kelly to make sure we have clarity. what is most important is to ensure an orderly transition during the time that the country faces significant policy and national security challenges. as such effective at the end of the day, i'm delegating all responsibilities of the office of the secretary to deputy secretary of state sullivan. my commission as secretary of state will terminate at midnight march 31. between now and then, i'll address a few administrative matters related to my departure and work towards a smooth and orderly transition for secretary pompeo. designate mike i'm encourningi

i should have run back then, right? i should have run back then. i would have done this earlier.esse: here to react former department campaign manager david bossie and former advisor to hillary clinton phillipe ryan. that was the president having fun with sleepy eyed chuck todd. he was praising himself to have the foreknowledge to know how to get a deal done and talking about how things are look good on the peninsula. he's going in there clear-eyed. he's optimistic but rational at the same time. what did you think about the president's speech? >> it's vintage donald trump. this is a fantastic speech. he talked about promises made during the campaign and promises kept. from building the wall to our peace and security abroad. bringing peace through strength back to america. that reagan doctrine. whether it's our economy or the tax cuts. he hit on all of the important issues at this great rally, this great speech he gives. it brought me back to the campaign. he won because he was having fun. he was authentic. that's what brought him close to the american people. jesse: this type of

i have to ask if there is any public comment. eing none, and seeing that donnie is here, what do i say? >> at the call of the chair would you like to return to item to president's welcome? >> yes. >> we are returning to president's welcome. this item is for discussion. >> we would appreciate it if donnie would come up to the front of the room. he can bring his companion. david got to announce that you are leaving earlier this evening. he had to leave. you should know that he did comment favorably on your tenure. it is an in joke, i guess. thank you for coming by this evening so we could thank you very much for your service. i have to say that in my 15 years on the commission, i have worked with very few peopl peopo are as dynamic and talented as you are, donnie. we will miss you terribly. i know the department like to brag about the fact that half the staff work on outreach, but you and i know this wasn't always the case. for the past decade you changed the way the department does business, really. you started by working with the
