let's have a bit of 15-year-old ham. >> anthony: since the national science foundation took over froma lot less wild west around here. it feels like dorm life at college. bathrooms are communal, everybody rotates housekeeping duties, everybody shuffles off at designated hours to the galley, where the cooks do the very best they can given the infrequent delivery of what are called in longing tones around here, freshies, or anything not frozen, canned, or prepared. the little connectivity i have with the outside world, i owe entirely to you. you have been helping me enormously. joni works i.t. and has been coming here for nine seasons. but it's coming, right? i mean, sooner or later they're going to put a satellite up there and everyone down here is going -- >> joni: maybe. i mean, we're a long way away from having cell service down here and everybody having internet like at home. >> anthony: it's really the last place on earth for cell service. kristy is a heavy equipment operator, coming for 19 seasons. >> kristy: i actually started off two seasons in the galley, and then i ended up g

incorporate that in our of artificial intelligence is our first routes that a cold and the national science foundation and those are great and the dog are you amounts you can add a couple zeroes but to start and build that connective tissue that could be corrected. >> general shanahan has pointed out that there are so many potential applications of ai and d.o.d., it's the process animation and to those tasks that'll take so much human effort and are really taking advantage of the human skill that is trained officers who have been given. what are some examples of process within the government that you are most excited about whether it's logistics or anywhere else? >> there are all sorts. the contracting stuff is very fascinating and one thing working on is under ai and has used as regulations and his idea that the federal register is absolutely massive any way we can look at it and optimize in a way or tried to find regulations that don't meet the world that we live in today. whether it's talking about facts machines or making an effort under way there. to me, any sort of supply chain related logistics

we are thinking having the nsf with a subsidiary national science tech foundation working in concert with darpa which is the analog defense agency and it would be responsible for funding fundamental research related to ai and other cutting-edge areas like i mentioned like quantum computing. it would also have a board of directors but the key is over five years for the federal government to invest $100 billion into funding this research. and the group would fund it. just like nsf does now and goes to companies or special government agencies in the defense department or not. that the kind of research that needs to be done with a long revenue stream to fund graduate scholarships and fellowships and post doctorate support in targeted research areas and the development of testbed type of facilities before you get to the pure research. this is just a discussion draft but has gotten a lot of support from the people i have shown it to. we will do better dollar for dollar but if they outspend us which they are doing now we will fall behind. so now this idea has support of some people very clo

the national science foundation, for instance, doesn't seem to have anyone who handles grant oversight in this regard. these research entities need to share information on these issues. but other organizations are at fault too. we found that the state department is on the front lines due to its responsibilities to vet visa applications for visiting students and scholars but it very rarely denies visas under that process. quite frankly, the research community here in the united states bears some responsibility too. there's been a collective failure by our universities and our research institutions to vet researchers for these conflicts of interest with other countries. again, this is made worse by the fact that many of these researchers are receiving taxpayer funds to conduct their research here. so it's going to take a comprehensive strategy across the federal government to better protect our research against this threat. our report makes a number of recommendations that combined will go a long way toward strengthening the security of our research networks while providing the shared cu

what we're thinking about is maybe having the nsf have an asf, national science tech foundation working in concert with darpa, sort of the analog defense agency, and it would be responsible for funding fundamental research related to ai and some other cutting edge areas like i mentioned quantum computing and g5 and robotics. the nsf would have a board of directors. this new agency this combined you th new group would have a board of directors to oversee them but the key here would be over five years for the federal government to invest $100 billion into funding this research, and the group would fund it. some of it would go to universities, just like nsf does now. some of it could go to companies. some of it could go to special government agencies in the defense department or not. but the kind of pure research that needs to be done would have a long revenue stream. we'd also fund undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, train yes and post doctorate support in the targeted research areas, and the development of test bed type of facilities that would be before you'd get to the pu

we should be doing a lot more investment in new technologies and the national science foundation and our competitive capability in the world. we need to find some way of working with china within at least agreed rules that as we compete with them for markets and various economic areas, we do them in a context that does not lead to confrontation and we can compete without confronting other countries, that we honor them. that needs to come out of negotiations. third, in the near term, stop the escalation of tariffs. disruptive for both sides and would have a disruptive impact. francine: i spoke to a number of european officials in beijing and they were fed up with being stuck in the middle, the german deputy finance minister telling me it is difficult to choose between the u.s. and the u.k. in the trade war. robert: as the trade war escalates, there is pressure on these countries that are in the middle. rely very heavily on the china market and the u.s. market. the china market is important to you country like germany and manufacturing, so these in thees have no role trade war. they wi

george washington urged congress to create a national university that would instruct students in the science of government, so they could learn the foundation of their liberties. congress finally answered washington's call. we honor justice kennedy. we celebrate civic education and reunite around our shared commitment to the greatest u.s.ent of freedom, the constitution. [applause] >> the national constitution center has been honored by a group of chairs. in his introduction, we lost two of them this year. they were followed by president bill clinton, governor jeb bush and vice president joe biden and we are so grateful that neil gorsuch has agreed to serve as our new honorary chair. [applause] >> justice gorsuch was the first to serve on the bench with his former boss and on constitution day, i was privileged to watch as he interacted with students , answering their questions and sharing his love for the constitution. i also interviewed him about his superb new book. in the book he explains why he has chosen to make the promotion of civics and civility the focus of his public outreach. we are so honored to have him. please join me in welco
