among four-year institutions, hispanic-serving institutions propel low income students to top income brackets at a rate three times, three times that of dominantly white institutions. hispanic-serving institutions also act as cultural hubs for many who returned to work in their own communities. these institutions are effective engines of economic mobility because they meet students where they are, and are dedicated to educating the whole person. and tc use -- tcus embed in the students honor of history,, and american signaling to students that they belong in college. many other institutions, such as asian american and pacific islander institutions and predominantly black institutions also serve low income students and students of color. these institutions are forced to to bee with less, designated as a minority serving institution, colleges must not only enroll a substantial number of students of color, but must also enroll a substantial number of pell students, and have fewer resources than peer institutions. in my state, the california state university system as a model for how min

the catholic church is an institution and the priesthood is a is a vocation an institution within which one hides one are denies one's sexual south that itself may or may be one of the reasons why he explained people with very dark and sinister aspects to their sexuality or their sexual conduct are attracted to it and equally it's a role that gives and has given people extraordinary access to children and i don't question control and access to children so the ability for a sexual offender to access victims to be free to abuse with with impunity has been extraordinary so i think those are the dimensions of the church its structure the structure of the priesthood the fact that the church not only want to prevent abuse from happening but it will collude in it being corrupt it will facilitate it is often seen the priest almost as a victim and the child as the temper of the priest it's over it's concern has generally been for the priest and for the institution another role for the victim just really briefly because we're running out of time but if you take away the white colors and the orego

and institutions generally work to protect themselves and the more powerful the institution the more money the more authority the more position of house the more aggressively and even violently it's inclined to protect itself and we see that right across the world i worked for many years in the united kingdom we saw their major investigations into historic abuse of children in council run homes and in homes in institutions that were run by the state their institutions work to protect themselves and again that's why it's incredibly important that we have laws put in place by the states that ensure and demand good child protection practice but also punish those who would cover up or facilitate these crimes as well as those who perpetrate them called thank you so much for. your interview for your time for this inside will wish you all the best of luck in everything that you're doing. thank you very much and i hope you succeed for talking to call in the warm and survivor insider sexual abuse to a man who's sick the vatican about the crisis the catholic church is going through the latest

in fact many of these individuals and institutions continued accepting abstains financial friendship long after his conviction of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 202011 warrants krauss actually told the daily beast quote i don't feel tarnished in any way by my relationship with jeffrey i feel raised by it i'm sure that 250000 he received from the stands foundation that we know of and education help that uplifting feeling joining us now to dig deeper into mr epstein's connections to the world of science tech and academic is the founder of truth and media. thanks for joining us ben. that me and then tab at the mention of physicist lawrence krauss mathematical biologist martin oh well there's so many other names and institutions now being tied to epstein and what are some of the other ones that we're talking about now because there are huge institutions and big names in that world. there are huge institutions we're talking about well you mentioned the universities so in mighty harvard both receive them mount sinai their school of medicine in new york they received funding as well

basically i would give this institution a bunch of money just to make my image look better in my mind and i disagree i mean there were disagreements but in my mind that does make the institution somewhat vulnerable to this does it not because they are just scooping up money from a from a truly bad guy anybody with you know so here's here's what i would say is that everybody who gives money to organizations is a bad person in some way because i don't believe that people as a whole are good people necessarily they we all do wrong things so i don't think that charities and institutions that have to should have to sit back and say well let's pull out a moral calculator and decide who is moral enough to give us money but at the same time it's not so so hear me clearly on this what i'm saying is that i don't like the fact that by giving money to these these institutions that society as a whole whitewashes somebody in that way and says oh well but look at the good they're doing. because they gave money to this thing and the and the fact that media falls into that as well if it's the right or

men, so we need institutions. and reaching the sweet spot, something the united states and a few others have accomplished in which the government is effective and constrained is something which hasn't really been achieved by very many. i think a central question for us is really understanding can countries really reach that sweet spot? what are the preconditions if any for reaching it? what can we do as outside actors to facilitate that? >> let's go to the question of consolidated democracy and how consolidated is it really across the world? i think we all know that there's a kind of debate out there among academics but it's seeped into the public and consciousness which is that democracy as a concept and democracy in practice may, indeed, be in trouble. that not only was wilson an example of how difficult it would be to bring democracy around the world, but he was perhaps an example of how hard it is to keep it once you have it. let's talk a little bit about the state of democracy before we talk about the state o

how the branches interact, their institutional rules as institutions under the constitution and how that has all changed. it seems to me the decline of congress is a problem, but in more ways is a symptom of a larger problem, which is what i would like to backup and take a deeper look at, and that is the bureaucraticn rule, or the administrative state. that seems to be the change driving this transformation as self-government is being overwhelmed by this new bureaucratic way. congress, having created that thing, is now suffering from its success. for the american founders, the idea of a constitution preceded the government. government is a creation of the constitution. constitution was created by a people who constituted -- the constitution comes from a people who then constituted government. sovereign people have rights by nature, delegate powers, those powers are separated and structured, checked and balanced. that allowed majorities to rule while protecting minority rights. century, american progressives began to reinterpret that relationship in response to new conditions. rights are

family values and perverting institutions . what does it look like to apply those values as you seem throughout this debate, not all families are considered good enough for conservatives and there's obviously not going to be a bright line or where we need to do away with institutions. you heard how conservatives have cried wolfon the destruction of marriage when women got the right to vote just as they do now. you have heard how conservatives criticize certain intoxicants while giving alcohol and exception because somehow it makes more economic sense . you heard conservatives say the department of defense is above reproach when it comes to government waste in regard to incentives. now you can look at me as they stand in consistency by itself is a problem. the real world solutions and sometimes these real solutions require compromise area of your point area but as we show you, these conservative inconsistencies read tangible harm. the libertarian position remains consistent. policies should be counted on choice and prioritize sm

he loved this institution. and he loved this capitol. and he just wanted to be here to share that the story. i was thinking about it , what i was going to say to you tonight. i do not normally talk about this. because i am my own person. i get elected every two years and am accountable to the people that district. i have a lot of history. and i'm very proud of my last name. and john's father was elected to the united states congress in 1933. there were six women in the congress in 1933. i never got to know john's father. i was never lucky enough. he was a new dealer. the first author of medicare or healthcare for all. he introduced it after they done so security. he loved this institution and he knew what it meant to be american. john was on the house floor when fdr declared war and gave his famous speech. he was a page. i did not know this. the only reason we have a recording of what happened on the floor when pres. roosevelt declared war was because john did not listen to the head of the pages and knew that it was history and allowed h

it must come from the coaches, trainers and institutions. they must do the right thing after they have made a mistake. those that have aired should be open to being suspended or sanctioned or banned. as far as we know in derek's case no one was penalized and one of the coaches is coaching college football today. investigate all catastrophic injuries and deaths, not only to provide due process at trainers and institutions but necessary to learn player safety. again to our knowledge there is no investigation in derek's case and 6 and finally as we are here today, raise awareness. i know this seems counterintuitive but people in institutions are more credible when they are transparent about their flaws and openly discuss them. the commitment has to be genuine. >> we would like to end with one of derek's favorite poems, means a lot to him since it was said before every football game. this is the beginning of a new day. use this day as you will. you can waste it or see it through. what you do today is important because you are changing a day of y

congress is a human institution with the emphasis on human. it is the ongoing interplay of people with each other, the dynamics of human interaction that make it go, so to speak. throughout our nation's history, those human dynamics have been shifting, sometimes unpredictable, sometimes problematic, sometimes highly problematic. my most recent book "the field of blood" notes what happened during some of those highly problematic moments. when researching the book i uncovered roughly 70 physically violent incidents in the house and senate between the 1830s and the 1850s, and by physically violent i mean chainings, shoving, fistfights, people pulling knives and guns on each other, duals and dual negotiations though obviously the duals didn't take place in this room, wild melee with bunches of men rolling in the aisles throwing punches and a handful of street fights with fists, bricks, and the occasional umbrella. now, it's a really dramatic story, and it's little known outside of scholarly circles for good reason because a lot of it was censored

looking to change things from the institutional institutional judicial level. second, looking at us policy on the continent over the last ten or 20 years and increased role of the military in counterinsurgency and terrorism activities. look at somalia there has been a market increase in the number of airstrikes in somalia, a recent report from amnesty international this year that highlighted some of the effects of that that includes an increase of civilian casualties. may be targeting al shabbat but that doesn't happen or help with national cohesion and local institutional building. so we have to be very cautious of the role of the united states military plays but also provide more support by civil society organizations across the continent are advocating for much of this change we see happening. >> you talk about urbanization and digital transformation what are the ways the united states can work with regional leaders to promote and take advantage of the opportunities so last december the trump administration released the fastest strategy the first was securit

there are two residential and seven institutional. proposing to add three properties for academy use, the three proposed facilities are all on van ness avenue which are consistent with the term sheet that we develop through the negotiation process grade one of our goals was to consolidate the academy facility as much as possible. there are several academy facilities at this further consolidates their facilities. the one they are generally leaving are ones that are from a planning perspective don't make as much sense to retain. while not all of those properties that they are withdrawing were a result of the term sheet. there have been additional properties that the academy has withdrawn since the development of the term sheet because of changes in the nature of the institution and in particular the amount of students that are attending the academy. it would also note that for 2801 leavenworth, as part of the term sheet one of the requirements is that retail uses be required at the ground floor of this facility. also 20 to 25 gerald is

and the religious institutions it doesn't become so much about faith anymore for the religious it becomes more about power politics and i believe that power politics are very critical and important but they need to be distinct from faith and people's commitment to faith and what that means in people's lives so i think the greatest challenge facing us right now is a little bit too much of a confluence between that of the just and the political institutions are corrupt the incoming secretary general of religions for peace thank you very much for being with us thank you for having me. billionaire elon musk's commercial space company called space x. has successfully tested an early prototype of the rocket it hopes will one day take astronauts to mars the star hopper took off for the launch pad in texas this was a low altitude tasked with a crafts lowly rising to 150 meters it's then propelled itself to a landing pad where it touched down for a couple of minutes it was powered by the company's new raptor engine which plays a key role of musts ambitions up to 7 this would be used to propel his

book, ining to a new >> live on c-span from the cato institute institute in washington dc, a debate on libertarianism versus conservatism between interns and the cato institute heritage foundation. which political philosophy provides better answers to today's most important political questions? agreef us has had much to upon, limited government, free markets, individual liberty are pillars of the philosophy we both value and uphold, which have led us to the same policy preferences and conclusions often. yet, what each of us envision vision and free society often does look quite different. policy preferences surrounding foreign policy, immigration, drugs, sex work, emerging technology, marriage and family, to name a few, create cleavage that emerges between differences between our political philosophy. in today'sseen political climate, seldom are these differences laid out in constructive civil discourse. free speech has been under threat by those who claim the harms of certain kinds of speech outweigh the protection, that there is a more sensible approach to the regulation of this kind

which are public institutions. these are banks that trade on stock exchanges, monitor supposed by the federal reserve because one of their day jobs is to be the regulatory sort of answer, the oversight body to these banks. they are monitored and yet their individuals of such a tight relationship with the central political powers of the country that they're able to get money effectively to themselves when they needed. and far greater figures that individuals are able to galvanize to do that. as a result money goes from taxpayers to benefit them. not just when there's a crisis but even from the standpoint of, for example, illegal act called the class to go act which was repealed in 1999. it'd been in place since 1933 specifically to protect the depositors and the taxpaying public and voters from any kind of weird esoteric parts of speculation the banks today. thanks could choose to bet all sorts of stuff but if they lost those bets it was on them, it's on their shareholders who is on the private partners however they

george washington, and the creation of a american institution. lindsay, has written several pieces for popular audiences through the cabinet choices are: president has made and taking that through. then, last but not least is david, and david got his phd from the city university of new york graduate center. is currently an assistant professor at the university of north carolina wilmington. in his book, also under contract, is organized the sovereign people, democracy political mobilization, and revolutionary pest vania. says thank you, to all four of you. we will start with katelyn and work our way down. >>thank you can everyone hear me okay? okay think you first to the conference organizers that put together is really exciting schedule. and mark for organizing our panel today. and all of you, for being here and all of you for coming out early this morning. so, i will give some brief remarks to introduce what my research is about which i think what we will all do before we jump into questions. so, my research has really been informed by the time

look at the institutions and norms that support the solutions. where we can agree, try to look at areas where there could be joint work to address those problems. where we can't agree, how do we manage our differences because we need to do that as well. honestly, the dialog has not always been easy. logistically as well as substantively, but we still think it is-- and frankly, it's gotten harder over the time we've done this because, you know, because of the nature of the changes in our relationship, but we still think it's valuable and we think it's actually still productive and we have-- are determined to continue it and carnegie has given us a grant and we think that they think that it's important to have this dialog. >> so that's the context of today's event. and the agenda for the dialog has generally resolved around the three pillars of the original brentonwood system. that we always do a session on the macroeconomic, monetary, financial issues, sort of the imf pillar and we always do a conversation about developments and we always talk abo

between summer interns from the cato institute and heritage foundation. topics include the role of marriage, immigration, pornography, and the government's responsibility to restrict and regulate certain drugs like marijuana. this debate is moderated by national review online editor charles koch. >> thank you for joining us tonight. which provides better answers to today's most political questions. --course, each of us has have always had much to agree upon. limited government, free markets, and individual liberty are pillars of the political philosophy we both value and appalled. to theave often led us same policy preferences and conclusions. what each of us envision in a free society without governmental and regulatory intrusion often does look quite different. policy preferences surrounding foreign policy, immigration, sex work,alization, emerging technologies, marriage and family. they create cleavages that emerge from differences between our political philosophies. as we have seen in today's political climate, seldom are these differences laid out th

obviously, the institution has expanded exponentially. it's institutionalized and national security counsel has usurped a lot of the original functions of the cabinet. and yet each president gets to decide who their closest advisers are going to be. they get to decide if they are members of the cabinet, if they are outside people from the institution, if they are family members. and when we have elections, we ask them who are your foreign security advisers going to be. the constitution says that that should be the senate. but we ask this question because we all acknowledge that the president has the power and the right to select their own advisers, to determine what that relationship is going to look like, when they are going to meet with them, when they are going to ask them for stris, whether or not they are going to take that advice. tan there is very little over sight to those relationships. so i think that's a big legacy of the cabinet. and i look forward to our further conversation. >> all right. well i just want to also echo my gra

it is working as a representative institution. role, givingal voice to the popular will and allowing the churning up difficult conversations to happen -- of difficult conversations to happen, all of those are the lifeblood of institutions. i am about to do something that is really counterintuitive. alexander hamilton is, i hope he will forgive me. i am about to discuss the man who killed him, aaron burke. figure. controversial he is having something of a moment now because of that play. his politics were sometimes equivocal. he was something of an adventure. he told hamilton. he was tried for treason and acquitted. he was apparently a very good vice president. he was fair-minded, he was attentive to procedure, and he understood the profound significance of the institution of congress in the making or breaking of the american nation. along those lines, towards the end of his vice presidency, he said the following during his formal farewell to the senate, profoundly it is so -- it so profoundly captures the significance of congress,

that is a question of comparative analysis of the academy to other institutions? >> no in terms of balance of students. >> that was part of the discussion was looking at the student body. how many are on site versus how many are online students? they have the percentage of the student body that is full-time but may take one class online. we have that breakdown. are you also speaking where they reside? >> yes. >> that was a thorough analysis done as part of the e.i.r. and estm in 2016. a lot of that was part of that document. >> give us an idea. how many as a generality, how many are commuters? >> i would refer to the academy for the current figures on that. >> while he is looking at it, ms. sanchez, since they have a shuttle system that is fairly extensive, any discussions on electric buses? >> excellent question. i do not know if we have had that discussion. that would be with transportation folks with the academy. i think there have been changes if they are biodiesel. i do not know what extent they have considered electrification of the fleet. >> i can ask the p

to is how important it is focus on institutions and not individuals. as exciting as these leaders avoid playingo into any cult of personality which can happen easily and we have seen time and again that cult of personality can be the lifeblood of authoritarian war. we are encouraging leaders but what matters is the institutions and the rules of the game that are going to outlive those leaders -- that is why what the prime minister is doing in terms of changing legislation is important -- that's the kind of state change -- the kind of change we should be supporting. the second point is support to civil society -- it is so crucial. africa, afteruth the remarkable transition to mandela, and nelson more recently there was the latest -- the leadership of jacob zuma which proved disastrous in many ways, and south africa fell into the situation of state capture, where there was large-scale corruption amongst many of the elite. africans,alk to south what they will point to is that south africa has been able to write the ship under the leadership of the new pre

many institutions have speech codes. whether you're for that or you're against that is one issue. but if you are going to have those codes, they should be enforced. they should be enforced not just against people who engage in what would be termed racist speech or homophobic speech, but also anti-semitic speech. you could make the argument that they shouldn't have that but they do. the problem is having made a decision to have that sort of regulation of speech in conduct, it is not equally and fairly enforced. and that's where i think the focus needs to be, because i would argue that the administration in a more ideal world should do nothing other than preserve the free marketplace for ideas on campus and the free marketplace for speech. one of the biggest problems we have is almost any israeli speaker is going to get disrupted and shouted down on a u.s. campus. and many pro-israel speakers will get shouted down and disrupted. and the schools need to preserve the ability of pro-israel students to get their speakers on ca

and the religious institutions it doesn't become so much about faith anymore for the religious it becomes more about power politics and i believe that power politics are very critical and important but they need to be distinct from faith and people's commitment to faith and what that means in people's lives so i think the greatest challenge facing us right now is a little bit too much of a confluence between that of the just in the political institutions are corrupt the incoming secretary general of religions for peace thank you very much for being with us thank you for having me. you're watching news still to come as an international convention on endangered species wraps up in geneva to explain why this culture could be at risk of becoming extinct partly because of social media. the 1st brazilian president says he will only accept an offer of aid from g 7 countries to fight fires raging in the us on if he gets an apology from the french president no matter what mccall . announced the g 7 sulpher of 18000000 euros but also noro says mccraw called him a liar and insists that he say sori w

what you have just laid out goes to the very core of how institutions, cultural institutions have beens, a millennia, in some ways. >> that is exactly right. the entire thing is that, in europe, institutions are funded by the government. in the united states, they have always been paid for by wealthy people. in the united states, most wealthy people have made their money in ways that are not necessarily completely blameless. there are only a finite number of people whose fortunes are derived from green energy. everybody else is, in whatever way, subject to scrutiny. the issue, then, is that museums rely on this vast wealth to stay in business. they don't really have any other way of getting money. there aren't public funds available. so as museums attempt to respond to the protesters, they are put . in this interesting position, some might say impossible position, where they want to be responsive to their constituents but they also need to keep the lights on. this is the real crux of the issue and nobody has a great -- for how top help this going moving forward. jason: let's take a vir
