i recalled when he came to illinois to campaign against me. he was campaigning on behalf of a state representative in illinois named jim durkin, not durbin fbut durkin , then johnson supporter, john n returned the favor by campaigning for jim durkin against me. you might owonder how real react to a person who is trying to take your job away which john was doing. i understand and i expect . jim durkin was loyal to john mccain and that mccain was loyal to him , came in and campaigned for him. the people of illinois cc decided i should be senator , it didn't deter john mccain one bit from working with me from that point forward. there's nan empty space in this chamber without john mccain . there's an empty space in america without his spirit. he will be missed but he certainly will never before gotten and endorse the proposal to rename the senate office abuilding in honor of lieutenant commander and senator john mccain. like senator schumer i hope decades from now over and who are visitors to the capitol grounds will ask who was this mccain they

double the amount are coming from illinois. i am not sure we can attribute this to lose gun laws in especially when you consider there is not an urban jurisdiction in indiana with a comparable gun violence problem. is a prettyiana small city, 76,000 people and 50 murders in a given year. that to smaller areas of the south and west sides of chicago, you can conjoin the 11th and 15th police districts in chicago, the murder rate is 40 points higher in that part of chicago than in gary. i don't think we can oversimplify this to that kind of problem. (202) 748-8000 is the number to call if you live in urban areas. hello. caller: the main point to make, and it doesn't get made enough, is this situation is analogous to the 1920's era prohibition. -- whetherks that you want to call it economic or political -- there is a black market. there is a need to regulate your market. the only way to do that when you don't have law enforcement backing you up is to do it yourself. it happens in rural areas. common, ortle less it might same like it

illinois notified the f.b.i. >> anthony ferrante: what illinois discovered set off a chain of events> whitaker: former f.b.i. agent anthony ferrante was director of cyber incident response for president barack obama's national security council. when you go in to investigate this intrusion that the state of illinois saw, what did you see? >> ferrante: the f.b.i. identified digital fingerprints left by the intruder. think of it as a crime scene, where fingerprints are dusted and pulled. we do the same thing when investigating a computer intrusion. >> whitaker: and your analysis pointed the finger at russia? >> ferrante: it did indeed. >> whitaker: the department of homeland security was so alarmed by what it saw the russians doing, it took the unprecedented step of arranging a conference call with election officials from all 50 states. the f.b.i. put out this flash alert. but the intelligence community wasn't prepared to publicly implicate russia, so the call and the alert simply warned states to be on the lookout for the kind of malicious attack that had hit illinois. did information

i can recall when he came to illinois to campaign against me. he was campaigning on behalf of a state representative in illinois named jim durkin. not durbin, but durkin who had been john's supporter for president in the state of illinois. john returned the favor by campaigning for jim durkin against me. you might wonder in this world of politics how you react to a person who is trying to take your job away, which john was doing. well, i understood it and i expected it. jim durkin was loyal to john mccain, john mccain was loyal to him and came in and campaigned for him. after the election was over, the people of illinois decided i should be the senator. it didn't deter john mccain one bit from working with me from that point forward. there is an empty space in this chamber without john mccain. there is an empty space in america without his spirit. he will be missed, but he certainly will never be forgotten. i endorsed the proposal to rename the russell senate office building in honor of lieutenant commander and senator john mccain. like senator

that cable show wasn't shown beyond central illinois, but i still remember it and still thank john for his act of kindness. it was my first exposure to a unique style of communication that america would come to know as the straight-talk express. sitting for that interview was a typically generous john mccain act for which i am still grateful. there was an old joke about an irishman who walks past a brawl and says is this a private fight or can anyone get into it? i think that man's name may have been mccain. everyone who knew or served with john for any period of time got crosswise with him. i can remember there in the well of the senate john mccain walking up to me, getting within an inch of my face, and chewing me out about some article that he had read in the "chicago tribune." he was so mad, he was about to explode. he wheeled around and walked away, and i thought what did i say? i can't even remember the article. so i raced back to look up the "chicago tribune" article he referred to, still couldn't understand his anger, and thought how am i going to make amends with john? he has

people go back and forth between missouri and illinois. so there is still slavery in these places and people enslaved for life. technically, no, you don't have slavery. it is a debate. people are concerned and upset territories that they were not able to determine that. now we are going to go on to the conflicting aims of the people here. people are notoriously, well, conflicted. there is no the people. as you will find out increasingly over time in this course, the more people that you put into the category of the people, the more conflict you are going to have. it is easy to have a very harmonious "the people" if you restrict it to only a few folks that have the same interest. once you start adding on, then you get more conflicts. we turned this land into public property with the northwest territorial ordinance and we have called it public land for the benefit of the people. but who are these people who are going to be benefiting from this public land? immediately the distribution of public land gets really , really, really complicated b

what you're mentioning with illinois. are trying to make things better they're taking away liberties are good new york city might raise taxes to fix the mta. of those things happen a lot or is that not the case over the 50 states. >> one of the problems. and that california, new jersey, vermont, are also doing poorly. there's a different mindset between the individual and the mindset. italy's of the governing class. government to do a lot of stuff. it is well-intentioned. if you're the naughty straw issue of popular now. people being killed in yemen but straws are the most important thing. there is a case in which there is a paternalistic mindset. having lived in a lot of different places, utah, texas, indiana, new hampshire, the fact is if you look at places and visit new york to a different approach. new hampshire, don't like to be told what to do. is why they score well across the board. states like florida, new hampshire, colorado, these are not states that are just doing good on economics, but well across the board h

i confess that for several years, the state in which i live is actively courted illinois businesses andents who can lower their cost of living drastically lower their taxes and enjoy a much more confident mu future knowing basic services will be provided, vendors will be b paid and their taxes are not likely to be jacked up yet again. so it's happening. there's a self-correcting mechanism in our federal system. we're seeing it at work but rick, i think it's going to accelerate as the crunch in these bankrupt states becomes worse. >> well, what's this self-mechanism that you discuss? explain that, sir. >> i just mean that as you referred to it, that -- >> leave it to the states. >> services deteriorate and as taxes are raised in a futile effort >> but i can already hear the cries for nationalization, governor, the cries for nationalization, which is what you write about. see the issue i see and i know california has had some good years, but you say they're underfunded in a rosie snacenar are 250 billion. maybe as large as a trillion nobody wants to touch the entitlements, medicaid, medic

book affidavits to illinois indiana. indiana has lost a little bit of population like a lot of those rust belt states but compare that to illinois with it lost 10% of the population on net. illinois has a great city like chicago as a magnet both in terms of its economic dynamism and it's just a great city, lots of things to do. answer if you compare indiana to illinois you can see there's a freedom advantage. you see between massachusetts and new hampshire, vermont and new hampshire. it's just hard to look at these paired comparisons and say we don't think freedom matters. even if you didn't do the regression analysis that we do. >> interestingly for it is a number to destination state for people moving out of new york after new jersey. we look at the age demographics of people moving out by five-year chunks if we found the biggest age demographic movement from new york to florida is 20-24 year olds. so it's not retirees. >> since were on capitol hill, another question of federal policy that can affect states and local p

and so, while i'm here in illinois, i want to see what they're up to.a seven-store pet chain called bentley's corner barkery. it was started by lisa and giovanni senafe. lisa: we do all-natural food, no by-products, corn, wheat, or soy in our foods. lemonis: lisa, the president of the company, oversaw the product assortment and the merchandising while gio, the head of business development, hunted for new locations. giovanni: i have been calling stores to see if they'd be interested in selling. lemonis: giovanni was expanding the business faster than they could handle it without a clear plan. giovanni: i go get the deals and then go, "hey, we'll figure out how to pay for it afterward." lemonis: the locations lacked a cohesive look. this store looks totally different than arlington. the operation was a mess... this is how you manage your inventory? ...and the company was losing money. we can't run a business that way. giovanni: hey, bud. lemonis: the senafes had recently adopted a little boy. -giovanni: sebastian, say hi. -lemonis: hi, buddy. and they wer
