i have learned much from this institution, it never changed me. i have served to the fullest every day and i now begin a new chapter in my life overflowing with gratitude for this wonderful opportunity to serve, for the many colleagues i have come to know, for my team, for my family, my god, and for the community that trusted this child of political refugees with the privilege of representing it here in the congress of the united states. -- of the united states of america. mr. speaker, i'd now like to yield to my colleague from illinois, mr. davis. >> mr. speaker, thank you and thank you to my friend from florida. i know he's probably worried about what i might say in his final speech here on the floor tonight but i've got to tell you about a friend i met just shortly after going to a meeting across the street where i had the honor of becoming a mentor to a candidate who wanted to run for congress. and his name was carlos curbelo. i knew we were going to get along well when i called him the first time on the phone and he said, why are you my mento

the confucius institutes in my mind are not strictly a cultural institute.the confucius institutes are a chinese government funded cultural institute. that means they are ultimately beholden to the chinese government and there have been instances around the world in which those institutes have quashed free-speech particularly regarding issues. >> we will take away the money, we would rather have the money rather than free-speech. >> there have been instances where those institutes appear to have quashed free-speech. >> do we have students from china who come here and our sense to steal our intellectual property? >> i don't know. >> the ad director says we do. >> students themselves decide they will come to the us to steal sensitive research. what i have seen is the chinese government, security services will utilize, lean on those students and say if you want tuition paid or continue the opportunity and continue your education at a higher education institute in the us you better not come home empty-handed. >> i am sorry. i have to take it back. >> senator har

guy: the big institutions are taking mifid globally. it's easier to manage blanketing mifid around the world. when you talk about the asset , instead of havingad multi-jurisdictions of regulation, they will take that regulation and apply it so it's easier for them. we think about how research is effective, it's managed the same way globally. the same with trading. nejra: thank you so much, guy gibson, head of institutional brokerage at northern trust. coming up, 2018 has not been good for crypto, but how will securities and regulation evolve? this is bloomberg. ♪ nejra: this is "bloomberg markets: rules & returns." at bloomberg'snejra che pi european headquarters in london. 2018 has been a bad year for crypto, but could a price point that some institutional investors see as more realistic good for the digital coins? as players move toward blockchain, what advances will be in securing and regulating the asset class? joining us is matthew johnson, cofounder and chief audit ea digital asset company. he previously worked at microsoft and ha

or multilateral institutions? two things there, i would say one they are often held up as scapegoats for failures of sort of necessaryic governance and policy choices. but then there is also the other aspect which is if people feel like many institutions, like their own governmental institutions, but also even maybe worse more distant international institutions are rigged for, say, moneyed interests or corporations, etc., then it can become pretty easy to be cynical about globalization and -- for instance and to be -- to believe that inequality or the fact that you get left behind is a result of what these different institutions are doing. that may get to part your question. ambassador araud: there is also something striking when you look at all 8 western countries, you see the conservative parties are moving into a new direction. and this direction is basically nationalism. about borders, about immigrants. we see it here, which is striking of course, but for me that the french conservative have been moving into e

leadership and engagement, china would institute alternatives to the institutions that have does a much good and served americans around the world. one prosperous nations would have little choice but to reluctantly bandwagon with beijing. that would represent a regular outcome -- negative outcome for americans and pretty much anyone other than the chinese communist party. a course of economic -- of corsetit in her -- a economic international order will look deeply. in particular, some, including those in agent, do not want to choose between the united states and china. find one way or another to address those needs, but however, developing countries do want choices. the u.s. should ensure developing countries have an alternative to the chinese model , which often involves poor transparency, unsustainable debts, and the creation of dependence, which is frequently exploited later for china's strategic advantage. we should use our voice and our vote in these international financial institutions to demand greater transparency from china and to ensure beijing is not saddling developing count

it is always best if you get institutional support or use the tools of the institution, but it does not have to be the center of multilateral success, i would six -- i would say. ambassador araud: if we have to look at relativism, we have to get rid of any naivete. we have to be realistic, which ares that the great powers not going to submit their vital interest. that is the lesson i learned from the league of nations. conflicts, neither the u.s. nor china nor russia have accepted that the security council end all these conflicts. you know, iraq, but also the israeli-palestinian conflict, ukraine and syria, miramar in sri lanka. they were here yesterday and they will be here tomorrow. that's the real world. the second point is we have to be flexible. multilateralism is the institutions. creativeve to be more going beyond the states. i think the forum in paris -- there are so many issues where we need to work the aunt the states -- work beyond the states with the business community, the territories, the cities. for is a new prospect multilateralism. i agree with what has been said about

the confucious institute are a chinese government funded cultural institute. that means they're ultimately beholden to the chinese government. and there have been instances around the world in which those institutes have, say, quashed free speech, in particular in regards to issues involving tenet -- >> in other words if you talk about what we don't want you to talk about, we're going to take away the money and the universities say, okay, we would rather have the money than free speech? >> again, there have been instances where those institutes appear to have quashed free speech, yes. >> do we have students from china who come here and are sent to steal our intellectual property? >> sir, i don't know that the you the students- >> well the fbi director said we do. >> let me be clear. i don't know if the students decide this come to the u.s. to steal the sensitive research. what i've seen is that the china government in particular in intelligence or security services will utilize and lean on those students in in effect say if you want your tuition paid, if you w

and the multilateral institution. enforceable multilateral rules are essential to a functioning system. but the wto, the organization tasked with defining those rules has struggled to achieve the results and enforcing them. there on seems to be an obstacle to a reform trade policy. first, wto rules are lopsided towards corporate investors, over those of workers. over corporate interests over those in the environment. financial flows and intellectual property rights while protection for workers rights is almost completely absent. the wto has failed to address. as well as the use of permissive tax law. i would argue that both of these are key areas, where multilateral trade rules out to be enforceable. they have not used its clrable -- considerable clout. even if it were to do so. and key developing and emerging nations. but perhaps, the current moment of stalemate and rising tension could be an opportunity to build such a coalition. second, with respect to enforcement. the united states has not been able to manage its

this hearing is entitled evaluating the effectiveness of international financial institutions. i now recognize myself for five minutes to give an opening statement. today we welcome the testimony of mr. david malpass undersecretary of the department of international affairs we welcome you back to the committee. this is the undersecretary second appearance before the committee since his confirmation last summer we have enjoyed working with him and his staff and look over to hearing his views on the international financial institutes or ifi's or other matters under his jurisdiction. the ifi's include the world bank's for some time now the committee has been concerned that these institutions are not doing as much as they can to focus on results. the world bank is the case in point. despite its mission to end extreme poverty, the banks organizational incentives are still geared toward pushing money out the door. consider this, if a promising young staff member were to start their career today at the world bank, how would they realistically get ahead in the institution? probably not

because they can't handle the politics that our country is supposed to handle all these institutionsare being politicized. every ceremony some jack ass is often used as a political speeco sounds like it was fit for the party but "the new york times" lobbyist readers vote to call it congressman about the tax bill, fox news will have a consultant for contributor for ten years the opinion shows at night are basically commercials for the rnc, msnbc is a virtue signaling to democrats in much the same way. these institutions become in some way co-opted in the political process and we are told because we only listen to media outlets we always agree with the demonization become self-perpetuating and we see the other is a person who that is wrong but against our very way of life and wants to destroy all we hold dear. that is part of the answer rig right. >> that's a taste of "suicide of the west", jonah goldberg's new book, subtitle of the rebirth of tribalism, populism, nationalism and identity politics is destroying american democracy. thank you for your few minutes here in miami. >> great

i think that one of the most important drivers of this is the breakdown ever all the institutions of civil society at the local level, at the place where we actually live in this world. again, we are wired to want to belong to a group. we want to get some meaning and sense of belongings from something and the institutions that are most healthy and productive in doing that, start with the family, but also, local religious organizations, civic groups, all of these kinds of things, when those sorts of things start to break down, we don't lose that instinct. that quest for community. our politics for the last 30 years, 40 years has been increasingly selling this idea that the government can give-- that partisan politics can give you that sense of identity, that partisan politics can be your tribe. the first words at democratic congestion 2012 was from a video that says government is the one thing that we all belong to and that sense of how to look at politics where there's my group and the other group, is inherently tribal and demonizing. and so you have very, very high levels of negativ

smith fellow at the manhattan institute, a contributing editor of city journal and a 2005 recipient of the prestigious bradley prize. from the moment she started writing for the magazine back in the early '90s, she's been a seismic intellectual force whether writing about philanthropy or crime and punishment or welfare reform or one of her passions, opera. it's always exciting when one of her stories lands. i invariably learn a lot, and that's in part because heather is a great and truly fearless reporter. if there were any justice in the world, notes new york times columnist david brooks, macdonald would be knee deep in pulitzer prizes and national magazine awards for her pioneering work. and if you know heather, she'll walk into a jail or police station or community meeting or university bureaucrat's office and simply start asking questions. her writings always rich with detail and full of human voices. and it uncovers realities that vested interests and politically correct world views want hidden. health e may be best known for her work on policing and crime. her last book, "the war

it's at the multilateral development institutions. now recently the world bank completed a review of the inspection panel with the goal of updating its operations and increasing its effectiveness. from what we currently understand, the review ended without a consensus on the three most important reform proposals including give iing the inspect panel a dispute resolution process to extending the timeframe of eligibility complaints and given the panel the authority to monitor bank corrective actions in instances that have been found to have violated policy ises and standards. i have been told by those closely associated with this process that the failure to reach this consensus is just it is is exhibit one of lack of leadership. without a major bank shareholder, backing these reform proposals in a serious committed way. what was the position on the question of giving the panel authority to monitor the action pla plans, what plan do you have in the coming months to shore up support including from the europeans to break the dead lock on t

we are also one of eight institutes that are part of the dod manufacturing institute.ese institutes are within the office of manufacturing technology within the dod. so the office broadly has the obligation that the requirement to maintain u.s. manufacturing capabilities needed for u.s. war fighter readiness. for military repair this. so how do we make sure our manufacturing base has the capabilities to make sure that we are the most competitive, that we are the most capable? so as part of that mandate, these institutes then take on different types of manufacturing capabilities. for us at the mdi i we focus on digital manufacturing and as jeff alluded to this is very nicely into this fourth industrial revolution the industry for that movement is bringing the digital and physical worlds together. within digital manufacturing what we want to do is want to connect every part of the product lifecycle. we want to use data to create what's called the digital thread, the threat of data from the earliest stages of design through factory operation, through making and assembling

to apply it, the solution required merely a matter of adjusting current institutions to make more room for new entrants or is there a deeper problem? countries like china revisionist powers who don't just want to see the table but change the rules of the game and if it is the latter, how do we construct a new multilateral order that suits us as well as them? >> i think unfortunately there are philosophical and normative differences at least in some areas that will make it difficult. we are headed for world that is a little shower than we wanted in terms of normative agreement, the tragedy is not the way the united states is behaving as if it doesn't believe in the concept of the west. i think you have to ghosts fear by sphere in terms of values. one of the disturbing ones which could have better relations that is disturbing to me is the degree to which this administration has not defended at all a core component of the liberal order. you think collective defense and open economies but this virtual silence on the issue of human rights or democracy which got a bad name during early admin

so all the other institutions are being politicized.et "the new york times" lobbies its readers on the tax bill. and to be a contributor for 1010 years to fox news no commercials for the rnc msnbc signals to democrats much the same way. these institutions become co-opted by the political process. because we only listen to media outlets that we agree with that demonization is self-perpetuating the other is a person not just wrong but against our very way of life and everything we hold dear. that is part of the answer. >>host: just a taste of suicide of.. the west. thank you for a few minutes here in miami. >> great to be here. thank you very much. . . . .

it is dead weight on corporate and financial institutions.hink it is one of the reasons we are not getting great transmission here because so many resources are continuing to go -- we have to capitalize the interest on that debt we have rolled three times already. we have to find another place to park this stuff. over time, it absorbs more and more resources away from the economy. rishaad: please stay with us. you can catch up with all of our interviews and also look at the functions we have been studying as well. you can watch us live and dive into any of the securities on the bloomberg functions. send us instant messages during our programming. this is for bloomberg subscribers only. president xi should be speaking fairly shortly. we are looking out for that and more. ♪ ♪ rishaad: we are back. 10:24 as it isis here in hong kong. president xi is about to speak at the gathering, marking the 40th anniversary of china's reform opening up. part and parcel of that dramatic change in the economy. we were looking at some of the past people who have

, we do a wonderful teacher institute as many of you do. that this summer and they all downloaded the app and experienced that, convey that to their students as well. so anything that we do, whether it's our publications, our online presence, our teacher institute, our presence in schools like american university, we're always pushing that. it's in our talking points. >> you just had a program was it last month for teachers, i think? >> we did. >> annually. >> that's why we had our annual teacher institute. we doubled the number this year that we did last year and really want to grow that. believing that if we can teach an impact and provide resources to the teachers, then that will multiply the impact among the students. >> i mean, getting this history out into the schools, i thing it think it's a great idea. think about what you're talking about, daniel, how they walk around with their phone. dif digital natives are so used to the technology today. if you provide them a robust method by which they absorb the information, they're going to

they stepped their names on a lot of institutions. they money they've given, the money that they made. it made them the tenth richest family in the country in a country not short on rich families. that's the kind of money that was being made. i think by 2009, $3.4 billion a year. there were these opioids which were also in the system and the pill hydrocodone pills, there was a billion dollars a year. i think at the height of it, opioid history was $8 billion a year. everybody takes their cut of it. i don't really know how to explain the money worked its way through the system. the political system in a sense that it was funded through campaigns, campaign donations and the rest. it was obvious for the industry, for the pharmaceutical train industry on capitol hill had actually been accomplished. it goes over in the late two thousands, over to represent the drug companies on opioids. it became the highest paying lobbyist in washington d.c. which tells you quite a lot. one sue and distorts everything. doctors pocketing. when they went to

[applause] >> thank you very much for the kind introduction, and it's really great to be here at the peterson institute. i'm going to spend a little time talking about our financial stability work and little time talking about the outlook. financial stability is integral to achieving the federal reserves objective of full employment and price stability. we need only look back a decade to see the deep damage that is allowed to occur when financial vulnerabilities increase unchecked since then financial sector

is a private institution of the government's refusal to renew its legal certification means courses are moving to vienna but first by way of a protest campus outside parliament. it's not quite the hungary an uprising all over again but they want people to know that their government is threatening to close a university on european soil for the first time since world war two once this becomes true miscible here it becomes permissible anywhere anywhere in europe anywhere in the west that it would be a catastrophe for hungary and i just don't see what sort of a government would destroy that so why is it so tristrem to them suppose they don't want independent thought they don't want. the use of hangry to be able to assess critically their propaganda so here is a grand european democracy and academic freedom side by side of course in political science would teach that they are mutually dependent on one another but here in hungary they're in mutual decline. the battle to save c.e.u. looks likely to be lost the latest defeat for hungary's beleaguered liberal forces opposed to prime minister vik

them, and these include some federal institutions, as corrupted. they talk about -- testify commitly talk about congress as corrupt. former healed of the dea division responsible for preventing drugs from diverted, regards congress as completely corrupted by money and this is a man who -- a form are pharmacist, trained as a pharmacist and a lawyer, but he is not anti-establishment, and i heard this time and time again. and i was really struck by it. they see the system as structure hill compromised and it it's true. i do think there was so much money involved in this, what the drug industry was able to do in a much more sophisticated way than you would have seen in africa, is if they co-opted, co-opted through money institutions into going along with this policy and it gets dressed up but in the way that's what it is. none of these federal institutions that has a responsibility for drug abuse weighed in until the cdc weighs in. >> right now pablo escobar is on trial here. does its seem right he is on trial and at the facklers volunteer? >> so. >> o

i wanted to start with secretary baker, and thank him for the remarkable institute. but even more important -- [applause] mr. meacham: the half-century of service to america and to the world. mr. baker: thank you. [applause] mr. meacham: it is -- as someone who spends most of his time thinking about the past and talking to dead people, it is when they talk back that you are in trouble. i must say, it is hard to imagine, and it is a great tribute to our country, that two such different people come to the pinnacle of power and are able to lead the nation and the world in such a remarkable way. we have a man from texas, and princeton, a marine, who served republican administrations. we have the 44th president of the united states from hawaii by way of the ivy league. and what brings them together is what i think brings the country together, which is a shared sense that we have to push forward to a more perfect union. and so the subject of a more perfect union is what i would like to talk about tonight.

this is part of the cato institute 2018 surveillance conference. it's an hour and tep minutes. >> good morning, and welcome to the auditorium of the cato institute, my name is jewelgen sanchez, i'm a senior fellow here and it is my great privilege to welcome you all to the 2018 installment of of our annual conference. we began the conference in 2013 as a one-off focused on the nsa, and inspired by the enormous amount of information coming out as a result of the snowden revelations and the following year i decided it made sense to have a dedicated full-day conference on surveillance so this is the fifth year we'reve running it under that name. i recall a year or two in the excellent national security report charlie savage asked, well do you think as the snowden information peters out and that story vanishes from thehe headlines will there be enough to talk about every year in the domain of surveillance, and i'm -- i wouldn't say happy to say, but i can confidently say that it doesn't look like we're running into the problem of being short on subject

the outrage would have been empowering in this institution. we would have heard about it for years at a time. but no, it's ok to do it, and then call it juice to the economy. well, there many items that we approve it but we disagree with the approach and the substantive matters that are being offered. there is a national principle nd we come to aid of the american family when natural disasters. and we will try very quickly to address many of these same issues and i guarantee you this, there will be hearings and there will be witnesses and it will be done in daylight to make sure there is an opportunity for all to be heard, including our epublican friends. msh as well. this bill significantly erodes the johnson amendment by allowing certain tax-exempt organizes to make political statements during the ordinary course of activities. i yield myself two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. neal: this would allow the priest, rab eye, minister to stand at a pulpit and endorse a particular candidate. what happened to jeff

one of the most important is the breakdown of all the institutions of civil society we want to belongto a group in those institutions that are the most healthy and productive but also a religious organization and when those breakdown we don't lose that increasingly been selling the idea that government were partisan politics can ease that so the first words of the democratic convention said government is the one thing we all belong to. not sense out to look at politics there is my group and the other group inherently tribal and demonizing that is what scientists get out for millions of americans because they hate republicans and vice versa so today partisan affiliation is an enormous amount about you i have to ask a follow-up question liberal or conservative so with that enormous sense it is a lifestyle because there are not better sources of meaning in our lives.. let this mass media they serve as de facto arms of political parties that they have never been weaker so to handle the politics and then to be politicized so every jackass gets up to give a political speech the new york tim

that source found and nobody is going after one particular institution as i mentioned to you the higher educational or is that we could do to all universities and institutions operating under but this university is going to find it difficult to function in the future is it probably for the reason that it was privileged and you way that privilege is not going for any other university or higher education institution in this country if not the last nail in the coffin certainly one of many don't know how to zero budapest now former u.s. president george h.w. bush has died at home in texas at the age of ninety four bush sr tenure was defined by the end of the cold war and the beginning of a new war in the gulf party culhane looks back at his life. five months ago started this cruel war against kuwait tonight a battle has been joined with those words u.s. president george herbert walker bush staked a place in history his successful campaign to drive saddam hussein from kuwait was the one term president's most significant accomplishment the son of a wealthy republican u.s. senator bush served
