and brian said we want to use it for the local meatloaf. >> and he had all the local farms delivered to him and he got all of it and delivered to us and he cooked it with us and students also helped out and it was a good day. >> not only was our meatloaf grass-fed, it was a really great opportunity for us to show students where our food is coming from. we realize that local food day every month was a big process. >> we want to move of it the student hands into the cafeteria hands because that would be a way tah make it long-lasting. >> so we're aiming toward to get a local few items in our lunches a few times a week. >> we purchased more from local farms and local grocery stores than obviously. that gives them some business and increase their local economy and i think that's a great goal to work towards. >> our generation, wear the ones that will going to have to be the problem solver for tomorrow. and why not start here and reduce our carbon footprint and buy creatively? >> and that was creatively. this is not in the movie because since after the movie was done, they started a store

local government is something that they can see every day. if you think about the decisions that local governments make about contracts, about what type of curriculum schools uses that's something that whites tend to be more connected to, i guess i would say. >> so that feeling of neglect that you sometimes hear about, there is less ownership? less feeling that city hall really listens to me? >> yes, that's why so the question you asked before the break was really important about time. time just moves on. that's why it's not necessarily about time. it's actually about developing institutions and actually creating kind of a political movement to reorient people, black people in this case, towards local government to make them understand that it matters. wrong we have to make them understand, in this case they know now that local government matters, but it's creating the institutions to get them to cease power to make government work for them. >> before the break you mentioned growing latino populations. in some places like in southern californ

when the government makes choices, they affect states and localities. we hope today's presentations are a first step towards helping policymakers from all levels of government making -- make informed decisions. thanks. [applause] >> thank you very much for the astute overview of the different roles states and localities can choose to play. theuld like to turn now to deputy chief of staff to the illinois governor. her role is to charge us -- across state agencies to advance the latino and immigration affairs agenda. it is important to note it is an has ate example that long-standing immigration policy agenda. with that, we look forward to hearing about her experiences. thank you. >> thank you. i am really happy to be here. pew generalhank trust. hard to believe it has been two years and a nice point and time to look on far we have come. in illinois we are very much a pro-government right state. the governor prides himself in being the most welcoming state. it is really true. if we have legislative and government action to back that up. is give you a do q

local time this morning. captain johnson saying, yes, more needs to be done by police to keep order on the streets. we're going to do additional operational planning. we need to step this up somehow, this is not safe enough. he said explicitly this will not involve the national guard. that was 1:15 a.m. at 2:00 a.m., governor jay nixon of missouri announced that he was, in fact, calling out the national guard. governor explaining in a statement today that they would not be imposing the curfew for the third night tonight, but the national guard would be called out. the national guard would be deployed specifically to protect the facility that the police are using as their operational headquarters on the scene. so, in this evolving, frustrating, ever-changing, chaotic, sometimes self-contradictory array of tactics by laurw enforcement you've had just since we were last on the air talking about this, you've had the curfew declared, an announcement they would not use tear gas to enforce the curfew, then they did

local government and local power structures. because these two killings of young black men by police in the st. louis area, they may have only been four miles and ten days apart, but one of them, the one that happened today, happened in the city of st. louis. which is geographically very close, but politically very far away from ferguson, missouri. ferguson, missouri, which had a 6% black voter turnout in its last municipal election. in ferguson, today, the scenes on the streets have been peaceful. even in north st. louis where this new police shooting happened today. the scenes have been peaceful as well. even though there have been demonstrators gathered near the site of the shooting most of the day today. peaceful, at times loud, but not at all rowdy or violent. last night, it was in the 10:00 p.m. hour locally in missouri when what had been a very peaceful day all day long of protests in ferguson took a violent turn last night into what ended up being a long and very scary night of tear gas and police show of force and fires

the obama administration is getting ideas from local communities. what are the local communities needing the federal government to do. stay with us, this is "inside story". >>> welcome back to "inside story". i'm libby casey. you may not think that much about climate change, but the national climate assessment says you should, because it's impacting you now, and it doesn't matter where you live. 1,000 mayors signed on to a pledge to limit impact on daily lives. part of today's discussion. carmel and deena major jim brainer, and from houston texos, mayor parker, and rick, the director of climate science watch, a project of the government accountability project. >> how do you navigate the politics to get things done? >> it's important to point out that everybody should want to live on a cleaner planet, breathe clean air and drink clean water. i point out to conservatives that the word conserve is the root of conservative, that it was republicans, teddy roosevelt, republican president set aside millions of acres of land for the national parks system, a

here you had an incident with the local police and it was the local police, the county and eventually state that have been handling it. it only came later that the justice department came in and said, all right, we're going to have this parallel investigation , conductor own autopsy and look at it again, this incident through the lens of civil rights as opposed to just a criminal investigation. host: let's talk about foreign-policy challenges. the president using the news conference yesterday to talk about air strikes in iraq saying with u.s. help with these airstrikes, kurdish and iraqi forces were able to score the biggest victory, recapturing that iraqi dam in mosul. what does the president say and what is the next move in iraq? do we hear from him what that is? host: from the president point of view, the next move is still to ensure that iraq has a stable government, that is able to control its own territory and take on isil without u.s. military assistance. obviously, it is in the u.s. interest to try and limit isil's activities. the control of the dam was a very large concern. t

local citizens get they get down that local city council meeting they get their signs and they say we're not moving into the changes thing if not you go see terri in this country this is this is the face of the government today what you're seeing in ferguson and it's only going to get worse if we don't back off all right john whitehead president of the rather for an incentive thanks for weighing in thank you. stay with our team for more coverage on the ferguson shooting and protests will continue bringing you the details throughout the week. we're currently in ferguson where tensions have flying high ever since saturday when eighteen year old michael ground was killed by multiple shots from. the soul can see it right. here fired tear gas. to be clear. there is no use in being a human being should be. is. doing. all right you can also get updates from our team on facebook and twitter. now to breaking news from iraq to rocky state television says prime minister nouri al maliki has stepped down from office he has given up his post to hide or a love body iraq's new president ford most soon n

some states and localities are already playing a role in implementing daca. some states are already issuing drivers licenses to unauthorized immigrants, and they are providing them with information on how to apply, and providing documentation that applicants need. states and localities are already preparing themselves for their roles and response in case of a future legalization or deferred action program. we know policymakers have choices, and when the federal government makes choices, those decisions affect states and localities. we hope that today's presentations are our first step towards helping policymakers from all levels of government make informed decisions. thanks. [applause] >> thank you very much for the astute overview of the different roles that states and localities can choose to play. i would like to turn now to amalia riosa, who joins us from illinois where she is the deputy chief of staff to illinois governor pat quinn. her charge is to engage across state agencies, to set the latino and immigration affairs agenda, and it is important to not

, we have produced local food motivated to do my part to increase the market share of the local farmers. our school program has reduced partnerships and regional farmers that are generating healthy returns for them and our children. we are feeding asparagus to inner-city teenagers and they like it. we are increasing our chocolate exposure to fresh food, lifelong habits that will produce improved health and in addition fresh fruits and vegetables with nearby programs we also have an additional benefit of delivering the educational opportunity in the classroom business by participating farmers and scored in opportunities. in 2012, the community partners initiated the effort at the school and throughout the district spanning the teachers access to the laboratories to teach the children of the health and eating, nutrition and the growing food increasing the access to the fresh fruit and vegetables. each piece feature and thereby having access to fresh fruits and the chapels. the learning centers now have 71 schools and gardens and a two and a half acre school farm and bigotry established. w

it is localized with some interesting tales, if they can be connected. this on thedd israeli public opinion front. israelid a ton of the tv during the conflict. there was a clear sense the israelis rallied around this conflict. there was a strong sense of national interest, national pride. --re was a specifically specifically pride in the id f. this is a redemption of the idf after the hezbollah conflict. problems on the ground. the ground troops proved able, relatively speaking. there is pride in the defensive technology. the idea that the startup nation is all blending in -- is now blending in with the defense needs of the country. there's a frustration. part of it had to do with the way that israeli leadership frame the conflict. hamas was going to get defeated. it got a hard strike. that was the term that was used over and over again by military leaders. it it is unclear whether that was in fact the case. no question that, on a military level, it was overwhelming force. what the end result was remains a question. driving this debate now in israel is

the discussion today is not only timely, but highlights the important role that state and local actors play and are often overlooked in programs. i would like to thank our panelists for joining us this afternoon. i think all of you for joining us as well. with that i will turn the program over to the project's director adam hunter. thank you. [applause] great. we have a stellar panel this afternoon, so we want to get to it. i want to make some brief introductory remarks here. as sue mentioned, our project focuses on the intersection of federal, state, and local immigration laws and policy. we provide nonpartisan insights and analyses to inform policymaking at all levels of government. up until 10 weeks ago i was in federal service as the acting chief of staff at u.s. citizenship and immigration service within the department of homeland security. i worked during that time on the daca program. hasnted to knowledge there been a lot of immigration in the news as of late, particularly around two the issues. one, the ongoing crisis with the children coming to the southwest border. many witho

a local politician was arrested for unlawful assembly. today a host of national politicians from claire mchaskill and elizabeth warren to rand paul called the police tactics over the top. police say they were protecting themselves after getting attacked with molotov cocktails and bricks from some in the crowd. president obama spoke about the crisis for the first time this afternoon. >> now is the time for healing. now is the time for peace and calm on the streets of ferguson. now is the time for an open and transparent process to see that justice is done. >> meanwhile, missouri governor jay nixon this afternoon announced a major change. he appointed the state's highway patrol to direct the security situation in ferguson. >> what's gone on here over the last few days is not what missouri is about. it's not what ferguson is about. this is a place where people work, go to school, raise families and go to church. a diverse community, a missouri community. lately it looks more like a war zone. that's unacceptable. today i am announcing that th

local vendors we use greenly produce they summarize the local soured products and the last one had 97 open that. >> wow. >> have you taken up anything unique or odd here. >> i've picked up a few things in napa valley i love checking chocolates there's a lot of types of chocolate and caramel corn. >> now this is a given right there. >> i'm curious about the customer externals and how people are richmond to this collection of cities you've put together not only of san francisco food in san francisco but food across the bay area. >> this type of market with the local savors the high-end products is great. >> i know people can't believe they're in an airport i really joy people picking up things for their friends and family and wait i don't have to be shopping now we want people take the opportunity at our location. >> how long has this been operating in san francisco and the late 18 hours it is one of the best places to get it coffee. >> we have intrrnl consumers that know of this original outlet here and come here for the coffee. >> so let's talk sandwiches. >> uh-huh. >> can you tell m

as you may know, murder is a local crime usually prosecuted locally and so the justice department can intervene in certain cases, for instance, if a federal worker is killed on the job or if a murder occurs on federal land. here there is a special hook because the law gives the justice department special power to go in if a police officer acting in the line of duty may have violated the civil rights of an individual and that's what eric holder at the justice department is looking at here. gwen: when did the justice department decide in this whole process as this was unfolding that they had to get involved to at least say they were going to get involved? >> they let people know as early as monday a couple of days after the killing of the unarmed blake teenager michael brown they were looking at this. gwen calls from the street in ferguson have grown throughout the week because people have so little confidence in the state and local authorities, arrest at least they did for four or five days. what the attorney general had to do later in the week spell out in explicit terms what exactly

cheese and plates and desserts and local chocolate. it will operate, 6 days a week from 3:00 to 12 a.m., sunday to wednesday and 3:00 p.m. to 1 p.m. on thursday friday and saturday and i expect that 70 percent of revenue will come from wine and beer sales and 30 percent from food and special event fees and art sales, i am well suited to operating a small business in the city of san francisco and experience of machining and training a staff and ordering product and maintaining the bookkeeping. the staff will train for food safety and beverage experience and will be experienced in the hospitality industry, on average i expect to have three to four full time employees myself included, i expect to be there every day and working at least 50 hours a week and i have been aproefd by several locals looking for work and i will hire as many as possible. i have hired a payroll company and recently partnered with restaurant manager who adds the valuable knowledge and experience to this endeavor. i believe that tender will be a unique and welcome ed

english -- and local regional -- local regional news reduce the differences. at the national level i am most concerned because that is where the decisions are made on federal and national issues and latinos are not a regional population anymore. we constitute a major portion all across the country from south carolina to south dakota as well as arizona, texas and california. we should not be considered to be regional. >> host: just to reiterate, you kind of mentioned this, but just to be sure, your book came out in 23rd team aired some of the examples are five years old, six years old, 20 years old. has it

demanded locally.ping an eye on the situation in ferguson throughout the night tonight. keep it here on msnbc. now time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." good evening, lawrence. >>> rachel, the future of the as rachel just described, this is now the big issue of the night in ferguson. it has become the cril

there is respect for local schools. they feel disrespected. >> let me provide a slightly different perspective here. when i think about federal policy in where it is important, i think about it as leverage, important leverage to help education leaders to do what they know they need to do but it is often hard to get done. that is especially important around issues of equity and the federal role has been most important there. sending a message to school systems that all kids have value, all kids matter any have to do better by the groups of kids you have ignored in the past. whether you are talking the kids of color, poor kids, kids with disabilities, that role has been important. even though it makes some people uncomfortable. it makes lots of people uncomfortable. that is why federal leverage is important. this administration has shows and -- has chosen to use leverage less frankly on those issues but on other issues that most education leaders think are important. certainly the effort to create common core standards as

the fee structure here is important for the local ordinance. each, each business is charged $75 and plus $14 for every point of sale system they have and this cannot exceed $773 per each locationedthv and what what really interesting about doing research on the fee structure is that local counties, surrounding counties have different price structures, and san francisco actually fell a little bit lower than some of these, but we also looked at state levels, too, and chicago was very insightful, gave a different perspective. and then we go into that. chicago, it doesn't allow the registration or it doesn't require registration for retail businesses that individually mark each item with the price in their store. and that's not something currently that san francisco has and might be something good to look into for the smaller businesses that have less item and then they just mark, mark their goods. it's less likely to [speaker not understood] consumers going into the store, everything is priced. so, just something to keep in mind. and retailers nee

should go beyond what we're talking about with home sharing sharing or cars we're sharing with the local businesses their employees and suppliers it's not just the other people being impacted thank you very much >> thank you, ma'am our time is up. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please >> i'm a former retired take care at all middle school and elementary high school levels of in oakland that was my wife the social worker we've been here in san francisco with an rb and b with two years of rb and b something that moved me today was that our neighbor who 6 years ago pointed out we might be doing something illegal and seems anti we were doing today as we were stepping out and my wife was waiting for me at the bottom of the steps they said hello and she immediately volunteered i guessed she's seen karen's picture in the newspaper and now felt positive about that and i guess part of it i think she shared that our guests had been so well behaved for that many years that somehow she'd changed her mind. i'd like to reiterate what my wife the social worker i assume just left the business

that's about this issue that you get information from local enforcement.there's been some information compiled by this committee that suggests to local law enforcement often doesn't know where to report these scams when they get word of it and that are often are not reporting into the database, 9 million is a stunning number but imagine what the outcome of is if local law enforcement were sending all the information. given the fact you are only prosecuting where you see volume, given your limited resources, it seems like an imperative to make sure that local law enforcement is communicating up a change for these databases and the fbi, to the ftc when they get information about these scams. so what's the status and both of your opinion as to the flow of information from local law enforcement to the databases and the federal law enforcement, and what can we do to make it better? >> sure. well, this is an area that or years we worked at many levels to have that dialogue with law enforcement with in regard to these scams. we work with associations like the icb

you can't simply say this is a murder of a local boy but a local law enforcement officer. it's more than that. for the administration or for anybody to stand back and say, wait a second, not our problem. this little boy died or this teenager died. he's not a little boy. this teenager died. this cop may or may not have done something nefarious. we don't know. the investigation is not concluded yet. this has become a federal issue in a sense that it's become a national issue. it's shined a light on it. we need to have answers. unfortunately right now i don't know that there is anymore honest broker than the united states justice department. it's not a political issue. nobody else is an honest broker here. neither side trusts the other at this point. >> that's an interesting statement. julie does not believe we can trust anybody in this, larry. >> i don't see that sending eric holder in -- look at the great job the justice department did in calming things down in the trayvon martin situation? i see this unfortunately as a parallel. the difference here is that -- maybe it's ol

i checked with local hotels to see how booked they are. some are running out of vacancy, others even in center city, have room for roughly $200 a night. >> it's a good crowd. >> reporter: i have been talking with those who live here. they tell me the past two year rdz any indication, they won't need to buy a ticket. the base and powerful vocals often travel to their living roo rooms. do you hear that? >> yeah. >> reporter: does did bother you? >> not really. the. >> reporter: music should stop midnight tomorrow and 11:00 p.m. sunday. this is a two-day event. tickets are available. a two-day pass is roughly $180. they are getting ready to hoist the giant made in america sign right up over the entrance. we are talking about the traffic situation out here right now. case in point, i'm standing in the middle of the ben franklin parkway. i see traffic out here. 22nd and 21st street, people having a difficult time as we get into the rush hour. if you need to travel around center city, do keep that in mind tonight. live in center city, i'm matt d

local governments and local leaders recognize that this is an economic imperative and a moral imperativethis is a civil rights imperative. you have been working hard and we continue to work in a ten-year effort. on the republican and democratic -- underations republican and democrat administrations, this is not a partisan issue. people are punching their ticket to the middle class and we need nue the progress. there are other statistics that are not so good. i have traveled across the country and seen too many school districts that remain, so many years after brown, separate and unequal. i saw the school-to-prison pipeline frequently. axis to opportunity is denied. ss to denied -- acce opportunity is denied. i didn't event in mississippi -- an event in mississippi. i could see, under the table, footwear. what they all had in common was an ankle bracelet. these were kids who were 13-14 and in the system. i asked them what they did. one person had a wrong color tie. one person had the wrong colored socks. one person was guilty of flatulence. i am not kidding. that got them in the school-to

school is back in session tomorrow in several local jurisdictions including d.c. and montgomery county. >> in just hours, students will return to a new and improved dunbar high school in d.c. and across d.c. and in montgomery county, students will head back to schools but will find some things a bit different. on the eve of the new school year, incoming students in several jurisdictions are gearing up for class and bracing for change. >> i think it's awesome because everybody get to go back to school. >> d.c. is on a modernization track. while work is in full swing at roosevelt high in northwest, over the summer, work continued on seven other schools. dunbar high's athletic field and stadium are ready for football season. students in d.c. will have the options for longer days at 26 schools. they'll also return to freshened up lunch menus in response to student taste tests. >> i think it's good for us because we can eat healthy. >> the number of students in maryland's largest and fastest-growing school system is expected to hover around 155,000 in montgomery county

let's share of the local food association, and national trade group for local businesses that works toncrease market access and market share for both selled commercial buyers of food. and now i will turn to senator -- senator cochran to introduce our next witness, mr. scott thomas. >> madam chairman, it is my pleasure to present mr. scott claman's, director of the office of child attrition and help the schools the mississippi department of education in mississippi in his role he administers a federal nutrition programs, including the national school lunch, school breakfast, food-service and child food programs. in addition his office terex several school related health programs. he has 14 years of experience in child nutrition, of a past president of the mississippi school of nutrition association and has served on the usda child nutrition state system's working group. do i also introduce dr. wilson? >> you are welcome to. >> catherine wilson is the executive director of the national food service management institute at the university of mississippi in oxford. she serves as a sissy dir

we talk about national security and they talk about local issues at the local election. do you think the third thing on the list might start you need to be around? how are you going to protect its citizens right to privacy in the digital age? >> i definitely think that should be a question that candidates for office should be asked and they should be prepared to answer. this is a moving target and since even my book came out there has been a lot more instances that had they occurred at the time of my research i would have included them in this book. the advance of data and emerging technology is something that's really hard to put that genie back in the bottle once it's out there so you need to plan ahead. you need to have in place policies and revelations guiding how some of these technologies should be used. they should always start with getting the public aware of how that technology is going to be used. police departments should have drones in their closet that they can take out whenever they want, whenever there's a crime to be committed. they should have policies a

local time. we left the main street where there is protesting going on to come here, site that's driving all the emotion. this is where michael brown was shot and killed by a police officer. it has also been the site of a lot of scream and demonstrations and violence, but tonight it is quiet, just slow drive byes and solemn moments for people in this community. as the night wears on. >> i want to hear one police officer officer say that something like that, killing someone execution style is wrong. >> reporter: voices rise. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> when do we want it? >> now. >> reporter: but tension remains low. >> we're all mike brown. >> we all mike brown. >> reporter: it's now 10:00 p.m. local time. the marchers are still marching chanting we are mike brown. chanting no justice, no peace, but as you can see a very different mood from last night. the night is not over yet, but 10:00 and all is if not quiet peaceful. over the next couple of hours, small altercations. >> show me state.

people, to empower local people and i think that was very successful. think that freedom summer tos yours opened door thoughts about how you protect the rights of people and so it also means that a year later the voting rights act is passed, which is really the most thattant act to ensure discrimination against people's ability to vote would be done away with. some ways, mississippi summer, the freedom summer, shone the light on the challenges, but it did people direction on how the changes. it becomes one of the most important movements that one can experience as part of the civil rights movement. >> the perspective of 50 years, where do think it fits in? >> i would say that in many ways, for me what is so powerful about freedom summer is that this shows that young americans can take leadership and affect profound change. he will always be an important moment, partly because of the death of those three civil rights workers. they remind you that changed -- that change does not come without cost heard on the other itd, this tells us is that really sugges

more or less told local authorities to stand down.e to break what has been an increasingly escalating crisis in a city. it all started, with the shooting of a young teenage african-american. and it has erupted into anything but a calm storm since. (woman) the constipation and belly pain feel tight like a vise. how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like rocks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and

local governments, local leaders, local businesses recognizing that this is an economic imperative. it's a moral imperative. it's a civil rights imperative. and you've been working hard and we continue to work. and that is a 10 year effort under republican and democratic administrations. this is not a partisan issue, reducing dropout rates, increasing graduation rates, increasing access to skills so that people can punch their ticket to the middle class. so we need to continue that progress. because we also know that that is a wonderful statistic, but there are other statistics that are not so good. when i was in this of rights division i traveled the country and i saw all too frequently that there were too many school districts that remain so many years after brown separate and unequal. i saw the school to prison pipeline results were brought -- black and brown kids were all too frequently accessed opportunity being denied. and being denied really remarkably perversely. i did an event once in meridian, mississippi, with about 10 kids who were sitting in a dais just like me and you

local armies and local people have to basically push these people back. but the air power is a short-term assistance. it stops the danger to the refugees who are fleeing, and it sends a message to isis that people are going to start fighting back against them. >> i want to talk more about america's involvement right now in iraq. but before we do that, because those images that we saw in that report are just mohorrifying an you can see the brutal tactics isis has been using in terrorizing this part of the middle east. i mean, how powerful and well equipped is isis? i mean, how concerned should the international community be? >> they're pretty well equipped, and they're pretty powerful in a very localized way. this is a group that -- and there's other groups like this in the region. these guys have very little if any local anchorage. they can only control pieces of land that have been made available because of the chaos and the ungovernability of the local situation, the incompetence or the violence of the iraqi government or the syrian government and the f
