an institution that they were already funding. and he said, we'll have a trinity on one end of town, and we'll have my institution on the other end of town, and we can come together and really advance this entire community. over time, due to financial struggles, by 1923, the state of north carolina steps in and begins to fund this institution. what's ironic about that when they took over, they changed the name, they did not change the curriculum, and they did not change the individual who was leading the institution. and so, what's important about that, on a larger historical scale, when we say that it's the first state supported institution of higher learning for african-americans, liberal arts, openly liberal arts, he never had the concept of being an a&m university or mechanical arts institution. he was openly supporting liberal arts education in the deep south, from 1910 throughout his life, and throughout the institution's legacy. >> so would part of his legacy be dr. martin luther king and dr. ralph abernathy and others? >>

washington will bring tuskegee institute into being.arely 24 years of age, this young man will create a chain of events over the next 34 years of his life that will affect all americans. black and white. from 1881 to 1915, he will achieve what to many is considered the impossible. he will build one of the most impressive educational institutions in america. he will become the center of heated controversy. debates, even riots. by the time of his death, he will be known throughout the world. >> you want to know about his days here? >> i believe washington was 16 when he came to hampton. >> you should've seen him when he got to the capital. he walked most of the way. 400 miles from the west virginia coal country where he lived. >> samuel chapman armstrong, it was here that booker t. washington developed his ideas on industrial education. >> he went back home to west virginia after graduation. did some teaching, dabbled in politics. even went to a seminary in washington for a bit. i brought him back here in 79, put him in charge of the indi

we would continue to provide the institution that states and institutions use to calculate additional aid to prevent students and families from having to complete additional paperwork down the line. senator jones and my legislation would allow students as young as middle school to easily learn about their likely pell grant award with a phone app or a chart, so they can begin to think about college. the second way to simplify the fafsa is legislation the senate passed last year. i mentioned that earlier. a senator and i introduced, and we plan to introduce again. this would allow families to answer up to 22 fafsa questions with just one click. it does this by ending the need for families to give the same information to to get government agencies. the apartment of education and the internal revenue service. it would also reduce the burden of a process for students who do not file income taxes but likely apply for pell grants. it would decrease the number of students whose aid is tangled up when they are selected for the verification process. it will eliminate from the taxpayers point of

rights of their institution. we are currently the second most thertant question about deviation of power has to do .ith tariffs and taxes the president is imposing tariffs, which are taxes collected at the border, paid by americans and he is doing it unilaterally in a country founded by arguments about taxes. says billions of dollars are pouring into the u.s. treasury as china pays the tariffs. i have not figured out that yet. the issue that is before the u.s. court of international trade concerns is exercise of section 232 of the missed trade expansion act of 1982. which empowers the president in a huge deviation of power to almost no conceivable restraint -- taxes tariffs that in the name of national security. -- said this is an unconstitutional delegation of power to the president. one member of the three-judge panel looked over her glasses at supposernment, and said the president said we need to have tariffs in the interest of national security on peanut butter. with that the success -- acceptable? she did no

the entire madisonian architecture depends on jealous rivalrous institutions. we have now reached a point where in 2018, a republican chair of a house committee said we chairman of committees work for the president. as long as that mentality prevails, the madisonian architecture cannot work. -- thatnd problem with madison missed, the coming of the -- big government. he famously said the powers delegated in the proposed constitution are few and defined. turns out, they are neither. they have become unfew and undefined recently in this sense. from the founding of the constitution until the 1960's, the first question congress asks perfunctorily, was where in the constitution do we find a warrant to do what we are determined to do anyway? thise 1960's, however, legitimacy barrier, as it was called by james wilson, up until recently, it existed. when i was president of graduate school i was deceived financially. education was considered in national defense and covered by congress is enumerated power to look after national defense. the interstate highway system you m

we would continue to provide the institution that states and institutions use to calculate additional aid to prevent students and families from having to complete additional paperwork down the line. and my legislation would allow students as young as middle school to easily learn about their likely pell grant or a with a phone app chart, so they can begin to think about college. simple fiveay to the fafsa is legislation the senate passed last year. i mentioned that earlier. introduced, and weak plan to introduce -- we plan to introduce again. this would allow families to answer up to 22 fafsa questions with just one click. the needhis by ending for families to give the same information to to get government agencies. the apartment of education and the internal revenue service. it would also reduce the burden of a process for students who do not file income taxes but likely apply for pell grants. it would decrease the number of students whose aid is tangled up when they are selected for the verification process. it will eliminate from the taxpayers point of view the estimated $6 billion

even more so at public institutions than selected private institutions. that same problem has been endemic to community colleges, too. community colleges play a huge role in training people for practical skills, and they also train the bulk of economically disadvantaged students. 44% of community college students come from families making less than $25,000 year. increasingly, there is a huge need among non-college-bound students to build schools -- to build skills. cte studies. what is the idea? going to get an idea and a frame. the idea is that college degrees, economic opportunity is there. the idea is a federal grant program to provide new funding to community colleges conditional on educational outcomes, it institutional outcomes, and the frame is something like a 21st century moral landgrab program. people think big ideas cannot be done. the moraleveryone, act was passed during the civil war, a challenging time. the idea to make the federal grant program contingent on institutional outcomes, the goal. we want to increase the supply of college educati

the entire madisonian rchitecture depends on rival institutions. we've now reached a point where, a 2018, a republican chair of house committee said we, forrman of committees, work the president. as long as that mentality prevails, the madisonian not work.re does he second problem, of course, that madison missed is the coming of big government. famously said the powers proposed in the constitution are few and defined. turns out, they are neither. they have become unfew and ndefined recently in this sense. from the founding of the 1960s, tion until the the first question congress sometimes cynically asked, where do we find a to do what we've determined to do anyway? legitimacy , this barrier, as referred to by james crumbled. until recently it still existed. when i was in princeton's received chool i financial aid from the 19 defense education act. after sputnik, because education was considered part of he national defense, and therefore, covered by congress's enumerated power to look after national defense. the interstate highway system, ou may or

in the country, the intellectual property rights go to that institution. they don't come back to nih. that has provided an incentive for tech transfer to happen. also pretty successful. i think we are to be careful not to mess with that group are thinking about the consequences. gerry: another controversy is futile tissue research. people have very strong opinions on this. a lot of religious objections. as all feudal tissues use from fetuses that have been aborted. the trump administration seems to be taken a different approach from the obama administration. this is reflecting the views of a lot of religious conservatives. you do find it futile research, and i'm sure you believe it's very important. can you tell us route to the current administration policy is in regards to that. >> and fetal tissue research has been controversial for a long time. it has been studied by other administrations at other times. the fact is, and has resulted in significant medical advances in certain circumstances. take the development of the polio vaccine is just one exple. or

although it was private at the ime, by 1923, it becomes a publicly state supported institution of higher learning african-americans. what he does, he uses both the model of self-help dubois model of liberal arts and reality to create this institution of higher learning the first state supported institution of higher learning for african-americans, supported in the nation. you put his life into perspective, when and where he his personal was life like? >> he was born in 1875 in north carolina. again, many would say, born of privilege because of who of parents were in the state north carolina. these individuals focused, they to ensure their children had not only education but had a sense of morality, a sense of purpose, a sense of leadership

this is the 16th institute. it's under the institute which is an initiative of arch diocese. if you read carefully, the institute is opening the door of beauty and inner apologizing the catholic culture of arts. gentleman, you are clan are tiff with the institute and brought into town for the purpose of having the conference. you're both creators of beauty. there's no question. you're excellent writers as well as thinkers and scholars. how's it going in that world? >> i have a renewal. joseph's comment about slivering and terror is not a bad response to contemporary history. it's safe to say in the last six years many writers within the church and priest realize beauty is not cosmetic. they play ahead and it's something they have to be engaged in and the church has to support if a genuinely civilization is going to continue. >> we're on the tail end of the stripping of the alters here we've done ourselves. >> different architectures and literature. are we moving back away from that to something that's more how do i put it? by the use of beautifying. >> yeah, i think the word

jason delisle with the american enterprise institute, and mark huelsman. we are taking your calls this hour. dj from hampton, virginia. we talk about higher education and free college. caller: good morning. first of all i have put five children through college. they work and i worked. we did not take pell grants or anything else. if you want education, you can get one but you have to work for it and therefore the will left have huge bills when you graduate. plus, kids today are not going in for anything we really need for the country. we need engineers. we need accountants. they are going in for the arts, which is an easy way to get through college. you are not going to get a job. what is the purpose of going? i think it is a waste. i really believe in free education for a trade schools because we need plumbers, electricians, air-conditioning people. those are more important than a college education. when i worked i had people come into our business with a at a dry college cleaners because they can i get a job anywhere after they got their degree. what a w

than selective private institutions. and that same problem has been endemic to community colleges too. community colleges play a huge role in the system for training people in practical skills. they also train the bulk of economically disadvantaged students. 44% of community college students come from families making less than $25,000 a year. and increasingly, there's a huge need among noncollege bound students to build skills, the credential movement, the cte studies to which greg referred. what's our idea? i want to give an idea and a frame. the opportunity is, again, that college degrees pathway to economic opportunity is there. the big idea is a federal grant program to provide new funding to community colleges conditional on educational outcomes and institutional outcomes and the frame is really something like a 21st century mora land grant program. people think big ideas can't be done. i would remind everybody the moral act was passed and enacted during the civil war, arguably a challenging time, so i think we can

, the allegiance of the military institution to nicolas maduro.ant wave. we have seen a number of defections today, we have had estimates as high as 60 to have defected out of a military institution that is well over 32,000. the problem is that the military has been tied intentionally to the survival of the regime by the nicolas maduro regime. similarly, military officers up and down the ra nks military officers up and down the ranks have been afforded opportunities to participate in widespread corruption, providing sizeable lots for their respective families. they've been able to participate in illicit opportunities and so, that has essentially tied the institution to the survival of the institution to the survival of the regime. given what you are saying, given today was meant to be a big day for the opposition, an attempt to get 80 and, as the opposition really fail to change anything in venezuela ? opposition really fail to change anything in venezuela? well, again, it is hard for us to say at this stage. -- to get humanitarian aid in. this is

magazine site he says the sexual abuse scandal in the catholic church is a wake up call for the institution to globally reform itself. also with my fellow anchor. grew up in. schools run by catholic nuns she says if the church just remain relevant to protect the survivors of abuse the perpetrators and finally it's my pleasure to welcome. an editor with another german religious affairs magazine called chris smalling. believes the problems of sexual abuse the problem of sexual abuse is so fundamental that it has the power to destroy the church. well thank you all for being with us today it's a difficult topic looking forward to hearing your insights let's start by talking about the latest bombshell to hit the church we now have an admission from the pope for the first time from pope francis that victims of sexual violence by clerics the revelations of rape and systematic exploitation are not new but the pope's acknowledgment is unprecedented how important is this admission i'd like to start with you claudia what's the significance of the pope admitting. that nuns have been victims of sexual v

. >> for a deep dive on this topic we are joined by jason with the american enterprise institute, mark we will start with you. explain the different meanings of the free when it comes to free college, there is debt- free college, there is tuition free college and these things mean different things. >> they do mean different things and i think the main distinction i make is tuition free college is somewhat self explanatory and there are different ways you can design it tuition free means by some mechanism you will pay tuition at a state to or for your institution whether that is a community college or a four year school. debt-free is an interesting frame because it takes into account that tuition is one major and rising cost of college but it isn't the only cost. people are taking on debt for fees, books, living expenses and all of the things you need to pay for when you are in school. debt-free takes the frame that we are going to cover that is the institution or government will cover most of the costs of education beyond tuition as well so that is the general distinction. >> there has

the national review institute and the russell kirk center good evening. what there have been a conservative movement without russell kirk? what has become of and will become of the movement for which he played so formative and meaningful a role? on behalf of national review institute, i welcome you all here to this special form an opportunity to discuss the consequence of one of conservatism's founding fathers. it mining is jack dowler and i am a trustee of the institute. .lso here are fellow trustees on behalf of them, and of the kirk center, i want to say thank of nationalg part review institute's key mission. which we have dubbed the buckley legacy project. it seeks through forms such as this to keep fresh and lasting the themes and thoughts and influence of conservatism's founding figures. this is an exceptional panel assembled. they haven't assembled yet. [laughter] magic will happen and they will appear. i will introduce the moderator in a moment. before that, let me bring village of this. marks the 63rd birthday of the magazine. emblazoned on the c

i'm rob satloff, the director of the institute. this is our first major policy forum of the year and i'm delighted to welcome and you delighted to welcome people around the world watching on c-span and on live stream and on all the various ways in which one can watch washington institute events. thank you for joining us. if i could ask you to please make sure your phones are on mute, feel free to tweet as much as you like. but make no noise about it. but make no noise about it. i'm delighted that we can meet at a time when the federal government is now open. there is so much on the middle east agenda in 2019. it's good to have a government that's focused on that. i'm delighted to be joined on this panel, to be introducing a panel of three of my colleagues, two of whom have made journeys around the world in recent days, coming back to report to what they have observed and seen and learned in the middle east. one of whom who has made a longer journey from capitol hill because this is a very different environment than capitol hill. an

reform itself i think the short answer to that is no i mean the catholic church is a must have institution which essentially extends throughout the globe and you know it blows millions of people. quite literally so they did that you actually can reform a culture that is so ingrained and so broad it's probably just a pipe dream at the very same time the fact is that there are few standards that an institution can uphold that would actually lower the impact of this kind of abuse what we have here is not just a question of sexual abuse and this something that we have to remind ourselves constantly what we have here in our hands is actually a long long history of a major cover up that is running across a very very large institution so the question here is not just where the church can reform itself and rid itself of sexual abuse no institution and this is something that we see across the board in all human activities the question that we have to ask is where the church actually smiting the right efforts in order to prevent these things actually being protected within its walls all right. thank

question here is not just where the church can reform itself and rid itself of sexual abuse no institution can this is something that we see across the board in all human activities the question that we have to ask is were the church actually making the right efforts in order to prevent these things actually being protected when it's what's right. thank you so much john you're welcome. time now for some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. president on trump's nominee from basa to the united nations has now it has withdrawn her candidacy for family reasons the former fox news host joined the state department as spokeswoman two years ago the white house has not said who might be next in line for the start as well right now. thousands turned out to anti-government protests across the country crowds in the capital belgrade rallied outside parliament and repeated calls president aleksander church to resign accusing him of stifling democratic freedoms the movement began in november off an opposition leader was attacked by unknown assailants. now balance international film

propaganda. >> i passed into law legislation targeting, in particular, con few chus institutes and institutes by the communist government in china. >> we do share concerns about the confucius institutes. we've been watching that development for a while. it's just one of many tools that they take advantage of. >> the key risk is that the american public and the students hear a one-sided view of what's going on in china. eric: policy director of the conservative-leaning national association of scholars says they should all be shut down. >> the teachers are hand-selected and paid by the chinese governments. the textbooks are being sent over and paid for by the chinese government. really the only way to protect against these kinds of incursions from the chinese government is to close down the institute. there really is no safe way to operate a confucius institute. eric: senator cruz says it's past time to send beijing a strong message. >> the chinese communist government is a dictatorship, and it is cruel and repressive, it tortures and murders its citizens, and dictatorships hate sunlight. they

can you share your thoughts on the idea of changing policy between larger institutions and smaller institutions? chairman powell: interesting question. wouldk it would be -- it not be in keeping with the tradition of interest rates, which the policy rate, it applies to the whole economy and we do not get into distinguishing between different borrowers. i would not want us going down that road, that is more for you to distinguish between different entities into the law. but i think that -- again, i would not want to see us going down the road of raising rates different amounts on different people and sectors. the interest rate is a blunt told -- tool. we are not elected, we are supposed to be with -- with the interest rates, operating at a national level and i think that is a healthy thing. >> when we get back to the question of the mandates of the fed, they are very clear, stabilize prices and maximize employment. but if the variables are different with respect to institution sizes, we may be unnecessarily impacting employment in pockets throughout the country, by taking a broad struggle part o

coming from an institute in germany seems to be solving this mystery. it's a comfortable perch but this rain forest in ghana is in danger tropical wood is in demand. it's exported across the globe and that means to germany as well. is one of the main kinds of work that africa exports it's often used as a substitute for genuine mahogany in the color and properties are similar you can use it in construction to make expensive window frames for example or parquet flooring it's very widely used it's one of the most part healer kinds of african wood here right now. the tuning institute of wood research in hamburg has a huge collection of different species of wood twelve thousand in all. cocked test samples of timber imported to germany comparing them to the institute's collection his job was to identify endangered species and did legal imports. were noted as that would detect that we have new cases every day. these samples are being softened up they're sent in by government agencies merchants and consumers who want the detectives to find out if there would ha

compares the anatomical structure of incoming samples to that of items in the institute's collection. he says they've never failed to identify a species of wood. tougher controls on imports in recent years mean more timber is now correctly labeled but between ten and twenty percent still comes with false declarations. the problems are more common with wood that's been processed engineered ward plywood and the product on garden furniture are also often wrong with an recommend further provenance research. it was possible to prove that this piece of mahogany had been stolen. and develops the tools to do so. new samples of african mahogany have just arrived reference material for gene tests of trees. the genetic identification of timber allows dagon and just colleagues to determine where it comes from. need for genetic analysis as the raw material collected where it actually grew the samples are part of that reference material for the identification of wood samples in this case wood from central africa with. d.n.a. is isolated from bark and believes there are genetic differences between t

and we spoke with a number of those from higher ed institutions who have to adjudicate these things.lear, thevery bottom line was it simply was not working as it was framed up then. so we set about to go through a proper regulatory process. and the draft rules are out there now. we're receiving lots of comments. and the comment period closes today. we will then be taking all of the input from the public and looking at that in light of the draft and moving toward a process where we will issue a final rule. but the fundamental focus from my perspective is ensuring that we are being fair and balanced for all students. i have said it often and i'll say it again, one sexual assault is one too many. and we need to move to a place where we are educating and assuring that those horrible situations don't occur. but when they do, we need to have a process and a framework that is fair for everyone and that the results can be counted on by everyone involved. shirley: so as a member of an association who has been involved, because that's our job, we have really appreciated the fact that your admi

the instituted encourages complacency after the government and business and academic institutions abroadernment should look into closing them. >> absent full transparency in how they operate for u.s. cultural institutions, they should not continue in my view. >> senators are exploring ways they operate in the united states. >> trace: and the chinese officials said they're okay. >> yes. the foreign ministry has said certain people and institutions in the u.s. are now trying to politicize without foundation the confucius institution. a program for normal cultural and educational exchange between china and the u.s. it's a cold war mindset and probably reflects that they're unconfident. another issue for the senators, the united states has a kepted to create a similar program in china but china has blocked the efforts. >> trace: thanks, trace. we'll have more on facebook watch with unique content. that streams live on the facebook watch home page a few minutes from now. it's available to you any time on demand. the u.n. andu.s. and russian resolutions failed. i'm trace gallagher in for shepa

really we're looking at two said small can now be institutional side to staff and they starting to take off one of the things i call from this conference is speaking to many as the traditional largest institutional player is that they see bitcoin as the any thing that they can actually work with at the moment which is a real shift from what we've seen you know recently to traditional institutions trying to loss and ridicule bitcoin then they tried to replace it with their i won't chain and copyright. but now they're really doing a u. turn and building for bitcoin as they want to get involved in munching their encrypted car and the exchanges there and lightning channels for our merchant adoption and their income the nation to allow people to actually own board into the next wave of institutional product yeah i mentioned crack on their holy mackerel yeah we both invested in crack and back at the beginning of this company. right it was. you know millions of dollars valuation they've announced funding around in the multi-billions which i guess you guys are involved with and they also are no

at the moment which is a real shift from what we've seen you know recently to traditional institutions trying to loss and ridicule bitcoin then they tried to replace it with. chain and copyright. but now they're really doing a u. turn and building for queen as they want to get involved in munching their encrypt the currency exchanges their iron lightning channels for our merchant adoption and their income the nation to allow people to actually own board into the next wave of institutional product yeah i mentioned crack on their holy mackerel yeah we both invested in crack and back at the beginning of this company. right it was. you know millions of dollars valuation they've announced funding round in the multi-billions which i guess you guys are involved with and they also announced a one hundred million dollars purchase of a futures trading firm. why is this good and what does a futures trading platform deliver to the space simon well crack and is able to now engage in by all and futures market which allows people to be leveraged but there was there with the same same time acquiring c

cock test samples of timber imported to germany comparing them to the institute's collection his job is to identify endangered species and illegal imports. there were no tears that would detect that we have new cases every day. these samples are being softened up they're sent in by government agencies merchants and consumers who want the detectives to find out if there would has been properly identified labeled and sourced. sometimes musical instruments are sent in. after the samples have soaked in water find slivers or shaved off for analysis get out call can recognize many different species of wood by now but to be one hundred percent sure he needs to look at the samples under the microscope. if a product declaration is not correct that can be a punishable offense. that. compares the anatomical structure of incoming samples to that of items in the institute's collection. he says they've never failed to identify a species of wood tougher controls on imports in recent years mean more timber is now correctly labeled but between ten and twenty percent still comes with false declaration

who do we see about the institution and the damage it's taking? >> the bet they're making is that their base is so stupid they won't figure out that rudy giuliani used to work alongside -- and it's out of a bad joke. three republicans walk into a bar and hatch a deep state conspiracy. it's so stupid. and it assumes something you should never do in politics. you never assume voters are stupid. voters aren't stupid. they're smart. and they get to the bottom of things. and if they're going to bet the whole house on the stupidity of their base, that their base is going to buy that three republicans, robert s. mueller, jim comey, and andy mccabe walked into some doj clubhouse where they were all alone and they hatched a plan -- and that's the whole -- and rudy giuliani's the one who's going to sell, it rudy whose sort of claim to fame in the past year was stumping sean hannity on donald trump's actual role in the hush money speak which was to direct it and reimburse him. the whole thing is an exercise and a giant bet. he's betting his whole presidency

our chairman as well as institute president lindsay cragg. i want to say thank you for being part of national review institute key mission, which we have dubbed the buckley legacy project. it seeks to keep fresh and lasting. the thoughts and influence of conservatism's founding figures , whoseer giants centenary we mark last month. this is an exceptional panel assembled. magic will happen. let me bring bill into this. marks national review magazine's 63rd birthday. for every issue, national review published the columns and essays and reviews of the man bill buckley called omni present and even a special presence. let me share an anecdote when he passed away in 1994. a brief quotes from the magazine. ensuing 25 years he never missed a deadline. his readers resign themselves finally to acknowledging as the beauteous. the most i could give him is a moratorium from his column, since he was off to scotland. he acknowledged it by reaching into the pocket of his morning coat and presenting me with four columns. perfectly tight, perfectly edited, per
