what happens with this breakdown of greek city states and the rise of alexander the great and a rise of empires in the lawlessness have -- hellenistic period, are based in macedonia and other parts of the larger mediterranean, people start to think about politics, even in principle, not just through conquest expand beyond a particular city's walls so this becomes the idea i am not cardinal citizen of the cosmos as opposed to being a citizen and that in his or spark a. that develops into a kind of medical idea that maybe one can live according to a kind of set of universal values and longest that aren't bound geographically and that really is the origin of our idea of cosmopolitan ethics and politics. >> host: that was idea to declare you were a cosmopolitan. >> guest: yes and the first person who does it, diogenes the cynic, he meant in a kind of in-your-face rejecting what he. he was famous for rejecting not just the city's boundaries but also all kinds of human conventions. he often dedicated in public, didn't abide by the conventions of more money that ordinary people would follow. according to him this is liv

overriding hope is to be able to provide for peace in the city to make sure that any areas of concerns are addressed quickly. to prevent lawless activity and that's the overriding mission. that's the mission that officers are given at our roll calls. we want to preserve the peace, safety of the city and protect people's lives. i will tell you as a means of closing out, we're going to continue to do these briefings on a regular schedule as close to every hour as we can get. the next briefing will be at 5:00. at that briefing, the mayor, the police commissioner will brief on where we're at and have some more information for you. until then we urge you to continue to follow our social media feed. we're putting out information as quickly as we can. we'll have road closures. >> if you're interested in this sort of thing @baltimorepolice is a good twitterfeed. on the right hand side was a police feed. we thought it was live, but it wasn't. it was from just a few minutes ago. about an hour from now is the next news conference. he mentionsed there are sporadic groups popping up. there is a tremendously different front. yesterday there

whole lot of convincing to get me to invest my sweat, energy and treasure in a city that has demonstrated the type of lawlessness we have seen in recent days and that is a tragedy. it's a tragedy because these communities so desperately need structure, stability support and jobs. mr. speaker, as a law enforcement that will help reassure businesses that they will be able to safely operate in these communities, it is law enforcement that will reduce the risk that is currently holding back job creators from setting up shop. mr. speaker, communities must have law and order to succeed and prosper. and i applaud those in law enforcement who have worked so hard to ensure that. in god we trust, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois, mr. gutierrez. mr. gutierrez: thank you, mr. speaker. what would it be like if the chamber and this government reflected the diversity of the american people? they would be a lot more portraits of women alongside all the portraits of committee chairmen of the past decades. in 2015 it wouldn't be news worthy

persuasive for me in formulating this idea of lawlessness amok in another context internationally and think how similar they are, how similar the barrios in american cities, even like 19th century contacts, the homicide rate for irish immigrants in the 1890s to new york city was almost exactly what it was in south-central l.a. and compton in the navy sent to thousands. you see matches similar to raise the homicides and interaction with authority. one thing that is interesting about black american history as we are not talking about a vacuum. we're not talking about nonsense. but talk about dysfunctional criminal justice. i was like a partially functioning system. the partially functioning system works because if there were a vacuum you actually get organization in the vacuum. it's sad no really takes hold. always a situation of chaos and competition. that explains a lot about why this has been a perpetual in black america. what it would take to fix you see i always a member from chief bernard at the lapd was because the criminal justice system, but it is five parts about related things jammed together and they don't work together well. >> host: from "ghe
