>> katelyn. >> this is not the reaction you want, is it? throw the phone away, walk away, and then start crying. >> it's so confusing. she's now, like, on the ground next to that really pretty pond, by the way. and he's like, honey, come here. >> what? what? >> what do you mean what? >> they've actually talked about getting married. >> really? you wouldn't know it because she looks completely surprised. >> which is a good thing. >> yeah. >> come here. >> what? what? >> come here, baby. >> like ali berry getting an oscar. >> will she make it down the aisle is my question. >> he gets her to come over but not before the video ends so we don't know what happened. but i'm pretty sure she said yes because it turns out they have a wedding planned for may of 2018. so don't worry. it all worked out. >> baby. >>> you should get outside more, they said. you should try kayaking, they said. it'll be fun, they said. this video shows this guy powing around in a kayak. i'm no kayaking expert, but to me this looks like more of an expert level type of kayak.

katelyn stand by, alex stand by. so now it's a runoff with judge roy moore.anna, is this result going to rattle and already rattled a republican party, many who are at odds with the republican president? >> it's beyond rattling. this is a prime example of a very divided republican party, and one that you just saw steve bannon speaking live there -- one that he is articulating in a very public way now, that he wants to continue to push, push this breach in the republican party. it was a little bit scrambled in alabama for the reason that katelyn was just talking about because the president endorsed the quote, unquote establishment candidate. and president trump's supporters and people who work for him and consider themselves outsiders, wanted the guy who won, moore. so it is scrambled, but i think that this is also something we need to keep in mind going forward. whether or not this is a telltale sign or a warning sign for other incumbent republicans. you already saw bob corker of tennessee say today he was not going to seek re-election. he had said when he ra

katelyn thompson whose a national director for the office of suicide prevention in vha. welcome. [ applause ] >>> thanks. i want to really thank the program committee and pva for this opportunity. it really is a special privilege and especially thankful that this is in memory of homer townsend. i really only got to know homer well in the last few months of his life, unfortunately. i seen him at meetings and just, hello, hi and relatively superficial basis and he wasn't in the best of health when i actually did get an opportunity to know him better, but i can tell you that every time i met him i came back feeling really energized and more passionate about what i was doing and a lot of that was the infection from his attitude. even if his physical health was deteriorating, every time we got into this conversation and sometimes we would have totally different perspectives on the issue, you could tell how passionate and animated he became and how energized he became and that really -- i really looked forward to seeing him on a regular basis and realized that it was beneficia

katelyn what were you thinking of? >> there were definitely times where she would -- i don't remember exactly but she would be out walking around and definitely sound superior to them. >> oh yeah. >> she mentioned a few times during the book how she was a pure abolitionist or whatever she calls it. but just like above that part that we were reading, i just shut the page, but she said that she expected she was going to have to defend herself from being prejudice. so i think that's kind of ironic as well. like how can you be prejudice and be like this holier than thou abolitionist. >> and dismiss everybody who is prejudice. yeah. absolutely. yeah, good. ril riley? >> on page 57 before that she says like the freed slaves that she sees are totally different from the respectable members of, like the black members of society in boston. she describes them as trickish and lazy and ignorant. if you're an abolitionist and you're describing black people in that way, it seems that there's a lot of prejudice deep seeded in her. >>

we have katelyn huey burns. we have cnn political andre bauer. robert, let's start with you. donald trump has called the u.n. as you heard before incompetent and weak. he has pledged to pull out of the paris accords, he has pulled out of the tpp, he has pledged to pull out of nafta. it seems that the president is fixed on his america first vision. how does he relate? how does he draw empathy from world leaders at the u.n. when the mission of the u.n. is to bring the world together and he's trying to isolate the united states to some degree? >> that's really the challenge and these are not democratic and republican party issues. they're much bigger than that. one of the great problems we have is the president's message is so inconsistency and so contradictory that it doesn't put america first. it undermines our leadership. to say we're out of the paris climate accord and now the secretary of state says maybe we'll go back in. for that matter when secretary of state tillerson said today regime is not an option for north korea, less than two months ago our cia director said regi

i would like you to reflect on this and maybe talk about it during breaks and come up to katelyn and david after this to ask their expert opinion about how we could apply what thavley said to this particular scenario. this is something we often encounter. we know some of the suicide literature talks about this issue of perceived burdensomeness which we often hear from people with spinal cord injury that it's perceiving. it's off an misperception on the burden of their care givers and loved ones and those are things that we need to both address and identify. as well as looking at this issue of belongingness where they feel they don't have a meaningful purpose and i think the va -- that's where the last part about augmenting protective factors. we don't give enough service to in terms of interventions and i'm getting a sign that we're running close to the end of time but that is really something i think is a strength and something we could focus more on in terms of adaptive sports, supportive employment. i'll briefly say this veteran gave me permission to talk about him. he's somebody

and so that's something that we'll talk about i think a little bit and katelyn already mentioned asking the question is important, if you feel that is an issue. it's also important to then bring up your concerns not just to keep it to yourself, because in some instances what happens is, you may notice something but, you know, you're a nursing assistant on a spinal cord injury unit. you think there's a whole team of people. it's really -- i'm not sure i should even bring this up. i know at least at boston, our nurses feel free to go to our psychologists and say, hey, i'm concerned about this patient, and i'm hoping that's true in all your teams. and it's -- the psychologists are always open to listen, but it's up to us to make sure that if we're not quite sure what to do next, that we go to a mental health provider on our team if needed, find the suicide prevention coordinator or at least contact someone who might be able to. it's really important to do that. i think the other tension that we run into is, if we feel somebody's possibly at a risk, at what point and what is the extent of -

. >> katelyn, do you have a question from our online audience? >> yes. so we are live streaming this event. i will ask one on behalf -- he wants to know could the current societal risk be used against us and capitalized on by terrorist organizations? >> yes. no, i mean, it's a great question and it is a very clear answer. a former colleague of mine wrote a piece in just in the last day or two talking about how our polarized environment, whether it's rhetoric, whether it's politics does contribute to and feed into the divide that our enemies and our terrorists enemies would like to see and if that's not reason enough to get us to come at this differently i'm not sure what is. >> thank you. question from the top. >> hi, thank you so much for being here tonight. and also i just wanted to say it's really awesome to see a woman whose so successful in national security. i really appreciate that. i'm -- my name's leah. i'm a sophomore and a student in the counterterrorism policy class and i know hindsight is 20/20 in terms of north korea if you felt that there'

people have questioness, david and katelyn will be here for a little bit. >> i'm sorry we're out of time. thank you for being here. in 1979 c-span was created as a public service and brought to you today by your cable or satellite provider. . >> i n the director >>> great. welcome everyone. i'm the director for the americas program. it's great to have you all here today. we need make requirement of csfs an emergency announcement. i'm the emergency officer. follow me. we don't expect any problems but given we're having a problem on hurricanes one never knows. we've all seen the pictures of the tremendous dama agage that' been done on barbuda, the u.s. and british virgin ielteneds and we shouldn't forget hurricane harvey. they give us an opportunity to refocus our efforts to see where we're doing well and where efforts need be improved. they've been tested like never before in the u.s. and parts of the caribbean. we organize to bring greater attention to both the impact of the hurricane sdwhz critical local and international response. this is the latest in the series of panels we've been d

katelyn, what i think about how harvey affect this is debate.tdown now? >> that makes it very difficult. we've seen reporting that the president isn't going to push for it the way he was last week. natural disasters have a way of scrambling political alliances as we know. neil: for a little while. >> for a little while, exactly. when it comes tissues like funding for disaster relief. that will be contentious, texas lawmakers are pretty conservative on spending measures will be supportive. we'll see a smaller relief package. neil: spending beyond hurricane relief, that gets in there, christmas tree effect they can live with it. >> this will be big question. the reason ted cruz to the test. the reason he voted for sandy funding because it was larded up with -- neil: chris christie came after him. is it your sense the markets will like it? markets hearing all of this are up again today, within 70 points of another record. that they're going to be okay with it? >> i have been be looking at data, going back to katrina and back to sandy and other natu

joining us now, fosh opinion editor 0 vick roy, republican strait just katelyn and crystal ball. >> people that thought obama care was dead were disappointed when republicans came back with what a lot of people and organizations that deal with the u.s. medical system are calling the worst of all of the bills so far. here's what graham-cassidy would do. repeals the insurance subsidies entirely. it ends the medicaid expansion. replaces affordable care act spending to block great states that are smaller than the money they're getting now. it eliminates the exchanges, allowing higher premiums for people with preexisting conditions. this violates all of the principles that some of the republicans who said they were unfrtable with the repeal said are important to them at the time. how is this good policy or good politics? >> i disagree with some of your characterizations of the bill. if you take, for example, 2026, obamacare on the medicaid exchanges, they'll spend $221 billion. the block grants that cassidy-graham would assign would be $200 million. it's 10% less money but not dramatically less
