so maia. i knew i would do that. with the stability of a home and a job now, she plans to become a sign language interpreter and pay it forward. please congratulate her and welcome her. [applause] >> how is everybody. first and foremost, i want to say thank you. everybody and jesus, i love you guys so much because without the consistency of it all, i don't feel like i would have accomplished everything. access point and bayview, people get discouraged in the neighborhood and it is not what it is kept up just cracked up to be. the people inside a very welcoming and loving, like you feel welcome and from the time that i've been there and the time that lady has been assigned to my case has been nothing just greatness. when i feel like giving up and finding somewhere to live, they continue to keep pushing. i did some footwork but i owe them everything. they do the majority of the footwork. i don't really know what else to say, but it is a blessing and if we can keep utilizing the things that are out there. just know that

. >> joining me now maia wylie. one can cut people slack for why they say certain things. her response was weird that anybody who thinks otherwise, i was using an expression of high regard and anybody who thinks otherwise is being ridiculous. >> that is an extremely insensitive response from the state that had the highest percentage of black lynchings in the country when it was an epidemic problem across the south. we just celebrated veterans day. and the president of the mississippi chapter of the naacp was murdered for his activities around civil rights. one of the things that he experienced coming back as a serviceman who served in world war ii was that he was blocked by a violent white mob from exercising his right to vote when he returned from world war ii. that was really the beginning of his activism in registering people to vote. remember, this is a state where people died, literally were murdered registering people. in mississippi, literally 43% of blacks were registered to vote by 1964 thanks to the activity of activists and despite the threat of physical violenc

. >> greg: i did enjoy that, especially when he said that maia love showed him no love.ore trump was up there, i had it on another station. >> juan: do you never watch fox? >> greg: i was at the gym. they don't play fox. cnn was going through the list of possible investigations, and jim acosta was talking about the immigration ad and that stuff and then acosta and gloria, they were wondering if trump would use the word shellacking because it was a shellacking. it wasn't a shellacking. it wasn't even a blue wave. i think jim acosta embarrassed all of those in there with his behavior. in a nutshell, what he said was president trump, will you agree with me that, would you agree with me that you are racist? that's what he was saying, that's what cnn wanted them to say. they cannot move from their bitter emotional position. the president came out there sounding positive and conciliatory. it didn't matter. it proves cnn can't have nice things. you give them something, they don't know what to do. they throw a tantrum. i thought trump handler pretty well. >> dana: i wanted to sa

maia used to say, "baby, your crown has been paid for. put it on your head and wear it."to vote is your crown! this is a tight race here in georgia. this is tight. there are tight races all over this country that depend on all of us giving honor to our greatest democratic right and privilege. let your vote make a difference. let your vote counts. let your vote speak for you. if you are a woman, let me just talk to the women for a minute... [cheers and applause] if you are a woman, you need to recognize, it hasn't even been 100 years. since we even have the right to vote. since we were considered a piece of property. you couldn't even own a piece of property. i love land so much, and if i was born at the turn-of-the-century, the 20th century, i wouldn't even have the right to own the land without your father or your husband saying it was so. he didn't have the right to even take care of yourself. you didn't have a voice, and now we do. we, as women people, we as women people, need to stand united and vote our values. vote your values. vote your conscience. all this noise,

thank you, maia. what changes the world is us. people. you know, i tell everybody you have two choices in life. participate or be a pipe bystander. if you choose to be a bystander all the bad things that happen you let happen to you. [applause] so, what does participation mean? it means caring. it means looking at the world and figure out what is important for you to change. now, not everything that is important to you will be important to her or to him. we all have different priorities. the different things in our life that give us passion and engage us. but you have to identify something because something has to move you. you have to care about something. first, to make your life more interesting and second to make you more meaningful. find that passion and look at the problem and figure out how can i help? you're asking what i think is my greatest problem for our country and that 40% of the voting publication votes. that means 40% of the people are deciding our lives. that cannot be right. we are a democracy. everyone is entitled to vo

host: maia from silver spring, maryland. caller: thank you for taking my call. this has been fascinating. thank you all for the books that you are writing. thank everyone for remembering the soldiers. i want to remember my two grandfathers who fought in world war i. he was wounded in the argonne. patched back up and sent to the front. grandfather was aghast with mustard gas, was very sick, sent home early, thank god both survived although my one grandfather emotional never quite survived the war, but i just want to remember them and all the other men who fought and lost their lives. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. a surgeon inr was france during world war i per i don't remember what company he was part of. from fishers, indiana. good morning. caller: good morning to her die the guests could address the situation. my understanding is that the country of poland did not appear on the map before the war, but did reappear after the war. poland had been partitioned. the russians got most of it, the austrians got the good parts and the germans got a litt

michael: before we go to maia, i want to ask a follow-up and maya want to comment on this, you mentioned adam smith is a relative fiscal budget hawk. but my question i guess is, do you really think the democratic party, in the congressional leadership or upcoming presidential campaigns, is likely to want to cut the defense budget a lot, because it strikes me that if the democrats made that argument they would risk giving a big issue to donald trump, which he could say i am the guy who fixed the military and i had general mattis do it, and it seems like democrats are more likely to fixate on the issues like the border, tone of discourse, but do you think that most immigrants are likely to maybe, you know, try to curb the defense budget growth or shrink it, but not really engage in a big debate about big cuts? i cannot see them engaging in a big debate on big cuts. as we look at the composition of the democratic caucus right now, with a little bit of change to come, but it looks like if you -- there is about 90 progressives in the progressive caucus, so they might he inclined to use -- be

a 4+ trillion dollar federal budget, and maia -- maya can correct me but overall federal spending. federal revenue substantially less. so if federal spending is a little bit more than 4, revenue is a little bit more than 3, we still have almost a $1 trillion deficit in the united states and it is headed upward. within that for trillion dollar plus a federal spending, what you could define as the entire national security enterprise is about $1 trillion. i am counting on that, not just the national defense budget, but also veterans affairs and homeland security in state department and security assistance and everything that can be broadly defined as related to u.s. national security but what is called the national security budget, just the department of defense and the nuclear activities at the department of energy. that is now $716 billion. so pushing 70% of $1 trillion and that is the part we are here to talk about today, and should that part be growing as general dunford and secretary mattis in the defense commission have argued? should it now plateau or be cut, which seems to be

but basically he puts on stage the story of maia or the transformation of being a mayan into a citizenascinating as an immigrant, as an artist. for anybody to see. then we have our musicians, which there are tons. carlos chavez made his most original universal and mexican word in new york he was a very good friend of copeland. they spoke about classical music of the americas to transform to get away of the european romanticism to create a modern, not nationals music but something that contains something that was specific to the new world. and we have tons of composers today. sam zenon he is in julliard. carlos gutierrez, ricardo's gomez, the head of the school of music. then we have the quartet latino america there are four brothers, one of them is here but they really introduced to the world contemporary latin american music, you would have to read the book to find out why all this happened. but Ãbwe have the three amigos and film. of course in journalism we have jorge ramos. etc. etc. but we also have people in other areas, for example, in medicine we have a bunch of doctors, an inte
