katrina: it is different.y year, i think of myself as rehiring myself in a new job and re-committing to that job. every year has been so different than the years past. there have been years where my job was making sure everyone is in line getting fixes out the door and that was the most important thing i was doing in 2012. emily: what is your job this year? katrina: i have private and public market investors we are building trust with and earning the trust of there are small things that change. in the way it is different, i -- we focus on building long-term value for shareholders .nd includes employees i think we feel responsibility for that. katrina: the apparel market is a 300 billion-dollar market that is growing. you hear a lot about the death of retail. it is this tailwind of post consumer behavior and stores closing and what is going on in the macro environment. double the number of bodies we could address. nordstrom and the gap, does that turnaround? katrina: i always think there will be a place for phy

announcer: on this episode of "earth focus," lessons learned during hurricane katrina are being put to the test along the coast of louisiana. some predict new orleans willge be submerd by the end of this century. the region's survival depends on its ability to adapt to clihange. if successful, louisiana may errovide a blueprint for o around the world. around the world. tucker: there were fa here. there were kids in the street playingootball, right? there were neighbors. this house was the candy lady. as kids, we would come down and spendur quarters and sit here on this porch and eat it and just enjoy the atmosphere of the community, right, andnt heat weway just overnight. it just got wasaway.

we had a lot of hearings after katrina. that is what happens. congress does have the authority to oversee these things. but i think the larger point we have been making in this panel you haveis a reason presidential emergency declarations, because sometimes you cannot get congress to act quickly enough. and when there is an emergency, sometimes the government has to act more quickly than the standard processes can. i do think the appropriate time for oversight is after-the-fact. i remember one instance where there was some kind of emergency i don't want to get into going on when i was at hhs and congress was demanding oversight. the people would have been dealing with the emergency having to prep the agency for the hearing itself, and they told the congressman/senator in question this will stop or limit our ability to deal with the and the senators/congressman did not care and said, i have to have this hearing. i think congressional oversight, if it is too, much in the short term can be shortsighted. i think appropriate oversight should take pla

you who's been following the story for us from beijing katrina do you read anything into this early departure sure is it's a little import well so far we haven't received any details as you've said there has been very little information since condone arrived in beijing on monday this trip has been shrouded in secrecy we do know that this afternoon his train was seen leaving they doing and there are reports that kim jong il intruded a chinese traditional medicine factory this morning then had some lunch with some top chinese officials perhaps even president xi jinping himself before boarding the train shortly after now there has been no official information so far either from the north korean government or from the chinese side there were reports that yesterday. met with president xi jinping for an hour and they were expected to have discussed a possible meeting between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un in the next few months so far we have no confirmation of their spot we expect some information from chinese for china's foreign ministry over the next few hours now of condo

he had a thing on that says hurricane katrina victim.he deadliest hurricanes to ever hit the u.s. over 1800 people died. millions were left homeless. it is unfathomable to think that anyone, let alone a public servant would ever mock katrina victims or dress in black face. i wish i could say that i'm surprised by this blatant racism, but i'm not. michael ertel was appointed by florida governor ron desantis in december. desantis ran against andrew gillum, an african american, and said that florida voters shouldn't monkey this up by supporting gillum. desantis was also criticized for attending conferences organized by an activist who said black people owe their freedom to white people. but he did announce an out of state neo-nazi group that supported robocalls against gillum. here is what desantis had to say about ties to racists in october. >> let me first say, my grandmother used to say a hit dog will holler. and it hollered through this room. mr. desantis has spoken. first of all, he has neo-nazis helping him out in this state. he has s

katrina,ened after even though the response to hurricane katrina was widely regarded to be failed and badly flawed in a number of ways, the military did better than virtually any other part of government in responding to the katrina disaster. nonetheless thereafter, president bush, with support of north,, soughtd an amendment to the act which made it modern but also easier still for the president to invoke its provisions. , whenn see their -- there the president decides to restore public order and enforce the laws of the united states, when he determines as a result of one of these triggering events domestic violence occurred to , such an extent that -- he could go in. republican governors in all 50 governors were opposed to this revision and every adjutant general of the national guard in united states reposed this revision. within a year it was repealed. we are back to the insurrection act we always had more or less . this is what it looks like now . it's essentially a codification of the provisions that i summarized before the hurricane katrina. there is a lot of authority here and

in terms of katrina, it really was a fraught decision that president bush thought about a great deal. i was in the white house and hearing about it in "the new york times" article is giving me a little ptsd i must confess. it was something that we considered -- her gender was not relevant but the fact that she was from a different party and president bush as a republican, we talked about in the precall and wanted to talk about later, about when a party a tells a state that leans towards party b about an emergency, what does that mean? the party thing was important. it goes back to 1878 in rutherford b. hayes' presidency, reconstruction a lot of sensitivities in the south about the use of federal troops in their states and obviously louisiana, a southern state, so that was part the of the consideration as well. i believe it was mentioned in "the new york times" article something they were thinking about. the point is that the decision to bring in federal troops is really highly political decision and i don't mean in a partisan sense, but something about what it conveys and says to the

what happened after katrina is even though the response to hurricane katrina widely regarded to be failed and badly flawed in a number of ways, actually the military did better than virtually any other part of government in responding to the katrina disaster. nonetheless, thereafter president bush away support of the military and of north com, northern command, sought an amendment to the act which made it modern but also easier still for the president to invoke its provisions. you can see there that when the president decides to restore public order and force the laws of the united states when he determines as a result of one of these triggering events, domestic violence occurred to such an extent that the state authorities were incapable of responding to public order. he could go in. republican governors, governors, all 50 governors were opposed this revision. every adjutant general of the national guard were oppose today this revision. within a year, it was repealed. so we're back to the insurrection act that we have always had, more or less. this is what it looks like now. it's essenti

what happened after katrina, this is an interesting story, lots of examples and no time to talk about them now but happy to talk about them later. the whiskey rebellion, school desegregation and how to meet desegregate arkansas and a number other places over the resistance of governor in arkansas for example. with federalized military force to go into allow black schoolchildren to find their way to the schools and brilliant use the insurrection act. racial violence in the 60s most recent attempt 1992 response to the rodney king verdict in los angeles by president george hw bush and what happened after katrina is even though the response to hurricane katrina was widely regarded to be failed and badly flawed in a number of ways in the military did better than virtually any other part of government in responding to the katrina disaster and nonetheless thereafter resident bush was with support of the military and north calm northern command sought an amendment which made it modern but also easier still for the president to invoke its provisions. you can see their that when the president d

[ applause ] >> i have been for more than one year trying to meet with feem at-- people at fema and i guess they don't understand my english and finally we are sending a message and we are here, to prove that finally they spoke to me. so this is a living proof for them that they are actually listening, i guess

to katrina you she's live for us in beijing and katrina what more do we know about this arrest in poland. well as you mentioned this chinese national we know that he's a man that he works for chinese tech company while i which is a major tech firm here and that he's been living in poland for more than ten years now we don't have too many details on the arrest itself but according to poland's intelligence agency it's something that they've been planning for a long time and they said that it was implemented very carefully now as you also mentioned huawei is a company that's no stranger to controversy it's a company here that has very close ties to the government it's seen as a flagship chinese company that very successfully creates mobile phones and works to develop internet technology but they've always denied working for the chinese government or being directly involved with the chinese government but that hasn't done much to really allayed concerns that the information from is being passed to the chinese government so much so that japan for example has blocked well way from being used i

thank you for katrina you live in beijing now let's go to the south korean capital seoul and chorus from the pride and rob the south koreans always seem to be fairly welcoming the of the chinese involvement with the north koreans is that the way they feel at the moment with regard to this latest set of meetings taking place in beijing. i think so martin and it does seem to indicate that we are going to see a flurry of into international activity on the summit front there does seem to follow a pattern that kim goes to see she may be out of deference to the far more important neighbor maybe getting guidance on how to deal with the u.s. and then lo and behold we then see a summit being announced with with trump everybody has been expecting an announcement of a second summit meeting between trump and kim both sides of said that they want one so it has led to speculation that we may be getting an announcement quite soon there has been media reports about u.s. officials being in viet nam as a possible location for this fourth coming summit should it take place that seems to be favored at

katrina, i want to start with you. i want to set it off by playing something that caught my attention today from kirsten jell-o brand. let's just listen to what she had to say. i think it's really revealing about what this is all about. >> i don't think those who voted for president trump necessarily feel he's done the things he promised to do. >> let's just think about what she is saying. she is setting up delivery of promises as an important thing to do. if we actually look at what happened in so many areas, president trump is delivered or has delivered on what she said. on trade, a long list. there's one big gap, the wall. that's why they don't want this to happen. they don't want him to have a full checklist of promises delivered. >> the wall is the staple. this is why they are causing this chaos. they have a different problem because now we have 800,000 federal employees who are not receiving a paycheck. president trump has come to the table more than once with a compromise, particularly on this issue and the demo

a few stresses like katrina. you last year at the gridiron and you're the first guy i've seen face trump face to face and beat him. you beat him in the room and i think trump knew it and i think he said wow, this guy could be tough. >> i know. i had a good time that night. listen t was a really compelling night. a night where people came together and laughed and jobbed. it was respectful and forceful. >> you were showing the macho just like he does. it seems to me one of the hats the president wears is chief executive, not just commander in chief. he's supposed to run or she the united states government and make it work and we're looking at the cucalamity, from drug addiction on the coast, checks not coming to people who need them. >> one of the great generals who helped us rescue from katrina, he said let's not just get stuck on stupid and the president is way stuck on stupid right now. there is no mayor in america who would think of shutting down the government. it's not an option. if you were a mayor, they wou

and i think when you -- when he talks about in that clip, katrina, the iconic nature of katrina as this failure and where puerto rico sits in our collective imagination about american tragedy and american failure as a governance, and it doesn't register. >> it doesn't register among the public and -- because it was not, there was no -- it did not resonate by the people who were supposed to make these after-event assessments. >> that's right. >> or to deal with it in the first place. so, you know, the public gets the cues from them and we're overwhelmed by the news. >> one thought i have, a fervent hope of mine, the democrats in-house do something. in some ways i get they have a lot on their plate, they're swimming upstream. in the area of climate change, the fact this is a u.s. territory, it is in the caribbean ocean in a warming world. >> they need to make this link about climate change because it's not like these hurricanes don't get, you know, harder -- every season they get more and more intense. and we actually have more ethnically and racially diverse democratic party in the house

we were founded after hurricane katrina in that moment where black people were on their roofs begging for the government to do something and were left to die. the theory behind the start of color of change was that the movement needed a new type of infrastructure to capture the energy and aspiration and demands of black folks and allies of every race. folks were giving to the red cross when they could be working for systemic change. how could we use media and organizing to build momentum and power that did the thing that was at the heart of hurricane katrina where no one was nervous about disappointing black people. government, corporations and media. so the idea behind color of change is how do we translate the wide range of moments happening every single day in our society and give people the ability to collectively take action and translate the action into strategic cultural and political change. >> how do you do it? public pressure, private pressure? >> it is a mix of both. private pressure for us only works if there is an idea that public pressure is possible. sometimes we have t

you who's in beijing for a sense katrina it all started off rather whirl didn't it between president she and donald trump they were really good friends but it very quickly turned sour. that's right well if you look further back actually when when donald trump was doing his presidential campaign actually it was very poor the prospects for president for donald trump the china was a very easy target he even at one point accused china of raping the u.s. with unfair trade policies but then as you said he came to power and we saw what was kind of like a honeymoon period between president xi jinping and president donald trump in two thousand and seventeen president xi visited donald trump and he also came to beijing and they were lauding the strength of the relationship donald trump repeatedly said how much he admired president xi jinping and how determined he was to work together with him to strengthen this very important relationship but that unfortunately was the high point of their relationship because eventually donald trump did come through on his promise to really pursue this issue o

with more details on this, we joined in singapore by katrina nicholas.thinglities hedge funds were supposed to like. it was a pretty dreadful year last year. katrina: exactly, that's right. roseewater's flagship fund 13.6% last year,. i'll for strategy fund. those gains came as the industry posted one of its worst years on record. 2018 and the% in s&p 500 index was down about 4.4% if you reinvest your dividends. this actually isn't a one-off for ray dalio's fund. 1991, it inception in has had an average net return of about 12%. just makinglio's headlines and making records here. how does he do it? well, i think we are seeing pockets of outperformance and bearish and bullish bets. here in asia and singapore we had news of another one. and there's a tech focused hedge fund, 5% last month and bringing returns to 11%. if you look at how italy places both bullish and bearish bets, it actually took on slightly bearish in the fourth quarter to help insulate itself from market selloff. we're seeing strategies like that for ray dalio, as well. anna: thank you ver

what is going on on the border, the case katrina mentioned is what is happening at ports of entry.rugs come into the country come through ports of entry and as a matter of fact. jillian: let's be fair about that. >> they built tunnels under fences. a fence will make no difference. as a matter-of-fact congressional research service, nonpartisan organization, the fencing around the san diego had no discernible impact on smuggling. and comprehensive immigration reform will come to the table. if you can't come to the table to find -- fund the government and pay the people like border patrol, tsa to keep us safe and members of the military talking about coast guard, we have a problem. >> the president tried a number of times to come to the table and democrats wouldn't, the president even gave them more than barack obama offered during his tenure in office. democrats want to do nothing and that is not sufficient and even one life that is taken by an illegal immigrant is one too many. common sense prevails in all this because there were democrats in blue states who voted for donald trump

acknowledge the historic milestone relations between the two nations aren't what they were a decade ago katrina you has more now from beijing. today china and the u.s. are celebrating forty years of diplomatic relations at beijing's great wall of the people but when you look at the relationship and the state of it today there is not much to celebrate it's actually reached a low point according to chinese state media today they blame the u.s. squarely for this saying that the u.s. has persisted in a cold war mentality and is refusing to accept china's rise but for the u.s. it's much more complicated than that since trump came to power he's complained of unfair trade practices such as resulted in this long running trade war we saw a group of washington negotiators come to beijing this week to try to sort out a solution the talks were reportedly constructive but no result was seen there has also been a long running conflict over the south china sea tensions over that particularly the parasail islands which china has laid claim to and is continuing to build military facilities on but the u.s. has s

so what kind of person would go to a halloween party dressed in mocking black face as a katrina victimte wearing red lipstick and a new orleans saints bandana with the words katrina victim skrauld across his fake breast? the man who used to be secretary of state before he resigned today in the wake of those photos being made public. now ron desantos has already been dogged by his associations with racists in the past by his opponent in last year's race. >> first all of he's got neo-nazis helping him out in the state. he's spoken at racist conferences and accepted a contribution from someone who referred to the former president of the united states as a muslim n-i-g-g-e-r. he said no, he's using that money to now fund negative atds. i'm simply saying the racists believe he's a racist. >> since being sworn in, his ears clearly still ringing from that it debate moment, has made high profile moves to reach across the racial divide and no move will be more scruttenized than his next secretary of stated appointment. which means, everyone will be watching very carefully who he apoints. let's

president bush in 2005 wouldn't declare a state of emergency over katrina because he did not want to get into that argument with governors. has the president considered this and the criticisms and warnings of fellow republicans, notably senator blunt of missouri? sarah: certainly the president listens to members of congress as well as constituents across the country but the president's number one duty and the number one responsibility he sees as commander in chief is protecting the american people. he sees the crisis at the border to be a real one. i don't think anybody in the country can argue the fact that there is a real problem at our border. it needs to be fixed. and the president will do what it takes to address it. reporter: has the president ruled out a pardon for roger stone? sarah: i'm not aware of that, haven't had any conversations regarding that matter. reporter: will you have conversations with him and let us know? sarah: i'm not going to get into it but if need be i'll let you know. reporter: if the president truely believes that what's happening is an emergency why wo
