iep is filled with the word progress. so the word progress seems like something should be there. the other word you see a lot is appropriate. you have taken that out and spelled it in light of the students' needs. if we stick appropriate in does that matter? >> we are happy with that. >> you looked into this and don't see anything wrong with sticking in the word appropriate? >> we do not. the other thing i looked at is you say the school requires school districts to provide and when i see required school districts to provide i begin to think everything is going to talk about if they did. maybe it should be reasonably calculated to provide? >> that is what rowley said and what it means to require. it is a program that is reasonably calculated to make significant education progress in light of the children's circumstances. >> now tell me what the new standard you are proposing is. i don't mean to be buying into your advisory position. i do think the act provides enough to set a clear standard but the words are what we are trying to come to that would be less confusing to everyone.

now, "progress" benefit. yeah, i don't see how you can have a benefit unless you're making some progress. "significant," "meaningful," they're synonyms. if something is significant or meaningful, it's more than de minimis. and if it's more than de minimis, you could say it's significant. it's something that you note. so it's really -- i mean, what everybody seems to be looking for is the word that has just the right nuance to express this thought. mr. katyal: well, we think that you should look to what rowley did here, which is to say the word is "some benefit." and that actually follows from the text of the statute itself. there is a long presumption, justice alito, against de minimis, starting with wrigley, which this court said applies to all statutes. so we think our standard comes from the text, but there is no canon about significance or quality or anything like that. justice alito: what is the difference between "some benefit" and "significant"? mr. katyal: i think it's quite large. that is, you know -

dupes are critical because they are people on the progress of -- progressive left, liberal left who were not communists themselves. but sometimes ran on the same circles, had some of the same ideas, shared some of the same sympathies, the redistribution of wealth, workers' rights, nationalization, different issues. they were not as far to the left as communists, but over a little bit. i started finding throughout the files, evidence in letter after letter, document after document where the police in moscow and in the usa had headquarters in chicago and wherever very -- were very closely laying out plans and campaigns to try to deliberately dupe the progressives and liberals. go to this rally. do this, don't let them know that you are a communist. you are charged with being a communist, say that it is redbaiting. later in the 1950's, it's mccarthyism. deny that you are an actual communist. the progressives would do this and say we are not communists, they aren't communists, and they would say yes we are we know they are and the anti-communist slav be the bad guy. they would be their repro

this coalition enabled the city to make progress. other times there have been visions like rent control that have separated democrats and progressives in much the same way there with a hillary/bernie conflict during the presidential primaries in california and many other states. it is a generational shift, the founding mothers and fathers stepping back, creating some space for younger people, electing a steering committee that is now a majority, people of color and women and younger people ran a slate composed of a 26-year-old african-american native of richmond, melvin will this canvassing in the city for the acorn successor in richmond, community empowerment, he teamed up with a young environmentalist who works for a marine clean energy and the two ran together, strongest pro rent control supporters in a field of tween 9, most of the other folks in the field were democrats, have a lot more endorsements, a lot more money, they were all against rent control and the candidates came in top of the field and melvin willis, potentially a

progress benefit. i don't see how can you have a benefit unless you are making some progress. significant, meaningful. they are synonyms. if something is significant or meaningful, it is more than de minimis. if it is more than de minimis, you could say it is significant. it is something you note. so it's really -- i mean, everybody seems to be looking for is the word that has just the right nuance. to express this thought. to express this thought. >> we think that you should look to what rowley did here, which is to say the word is some benefit. that actually follows from the text of the statute itself. there is a long presumption of justice alito, which the sourt set applies to all statute. we think our standard comes from the text. but there is no cannon but significance or equality -- >> what is the difference -- >> i think it is quite large. if the court is to ask if there is some benefit, as i was saying to justice ginsburg in my hypothetical, has the school district benefitted. but once we get beyond that to significant, the court has to ask both. was there some benefit

in the 1920's and 30's, american progressives, western progressives, british as well as american, who were taken to the soviet union in the 1920's and 1930's and very carefully manipulated by soviet handlers. it's extraordinary to see how they did this. it's shocking. and it's shocking to see how many took the bait as well. and because the woodrow wilson administration wouldn't recognize the bolsheviks, because the early british government wouldn't recognize the bolsheviks, winston churchill told boy george you might as well recognize sodomy before you recognize the bolsheviks. the progressives were upset by that in the 20's. so stalin and the late 1920's started bringing american western progressives to the soviet union to take a carefully -- take them on carefully to --d tors to -- tors tours to try to get them to come back to the united states and write articles about how great the soviet union is and they are finding this new world and by the way, the united states government ought to recognize the government. and these are the progressives. one of them, hd wells. hg wells. after

we know that religion and christianity has been marked by doubt, but progress, the religion of progress does not admit to its doubts. in a way it's more hard-line than most religions. it's also deeply persuasive, especially if you stop believing which is the case for most of us today in any other form. then your horizons are basically defined by progress. the simple belief that the future would be better for your children and grandchildren and things are going to get better and better all the time, which has been the experience again, that has been the experience of many people since 1945. this is not an experience that people have in the first half of the 20th century could have had. they could not if they were living through the civil war in china. you could not have imagined a better future for your children or grandchildren, but hundreds of millions of people since 1945 have believed things are getting better all the time and the belief is grounded in certain realities that progress has happened, but again, it turns out that was a moment in the long sweep of time which has now ended

and of course it's not that that progress had not happened before. in china much earlier there had been a lot of progress but it was not sustained and so it did not create this inequality we get today. however, in the world as a whole today these gaps have closed for individuals but they have not closed for countries and let me talk about that in a minute. so let me give you a quick tour of progress as i see it over the last 50 years. this is what i call the onward and upward curve. so what is along the horizontal access here is gdp per capita in ppp terms. on the vertical access is life expectancy and each blob, each circle there is proportional to the population of the country you're looking at. so the giant blobs are china and india and sort of semi-giant blob on the top right is the united states that you can see there. the black blobs are for twtd and the gray blobs are for 1960. so if you can look at this thing, you say anything in the direction of that arrow is good, that means more riches, more material well-being and also more health, living

too. >> so inequality not only comes with progress, it actually helps progress. i'm going to argue that's not all inequality does, those of you who are unhappy about inequality have lots of stuff along but it's a really certain time but we don't want to be against inequality. because it hampers or is against progress. and i think that's part of the issue that hasdivided people along political lines . that needs to be addressed. >> perhaps the most famous example of inequality is called the great divergence. which was when you got for the first time in history sustained economic growth and improvement in northwest europe between 1850 and 1750. and that sort of sow the seeds of the high material living standards and good health that most of us enjoy today. but of course what it did was hold these leading countries away from the rest of the world and created this in norma's inequality in the world which is still with us today, most inequality in the world is these countries, not within countries and where did that inequality come from? if the greatest success story

that progress is being maybe slow but you know, it's a lot of progress. there are parts of india now who are doing better on health ind indicators than parts of china. china got there much faster but china and india never had the compulsion, for instance, that was associated with the one child policy in china, for examp example. >> do you find a correlation within the mortality and morbidity rates with less than high school education to being concentrated in small towns and areas such as midwest that lack diverse employment opportunities? >> you saw the picture and it's true that the i-95 corridor is doing relative well. but this is not a traditional epidemic. people are dying in rural maine. it's less so in i-95, but there are people dying on park benches in princeton, new jersey. the epidemic of 30 years ago which was black hispanic inner city is not what this epidemic is. that said it's pretty widespread. so the centers of major metropolitan areas are doing marginally better than the others. but it goes through all other levels of urbanization. >> you

and that growth generated inequality and progress. but its been may be slow is progress. there are parts of india that are doing better than parts of china. china got there much faster. china and india never had the compulsion associated with the one child policy in china. >> do you find a correlation between the morbidity rates of whites with high school education to being concentrated in small towns and areas such as the midwest are as lack of employment opportunities? it is true that the i-95 corridor is doing well. this is not a traditional epidemic. people are dying in a rural maine. is less of i-95 but there are people in new jersey, the epidemic of 30 years ago which was black hispanic inner-city's is not what this epidemic is. of majorrs metropolitan areas are doing marginally better than the others. >> i'm going to ask a question, you may have some health related reasons to think. would legalizing marijuana be a solution to the opioid epidemic? >> it is interesting that pharma companies who sell opioids have opposed the very strongly. they think it would help. ma

so there's real progress. this slide is more complicated, and i don't want to spend much time on it, but this is showing income inequality between all the persons on planet. it's a very hard thing to estimate. and it's like a coefficient but you're doing it for everybody in the world, and there's a lot of uncertainty depending on which group is measuring it and which year. but i don't want you to focus on the three different numbers, what i want the focus on is what's been happening since 1990, which this thing is tumbling. inequality in the world as a whole has been getting less. a lot of people like to deny that. they say inequality is really bad, and it's just not true. in fact, let me devote a slide the this that inequality in the world is increasing has been said so often it surely must be true, yet it's false. and it's pretty easy to see. india and china between them have more than 2.5 billion people. because of globalization and because of growth this those two economies, those 2.5 billion people who us

this was barely progress. i think what the court of appeals said the only thing it said was that there was the public education because drew have made minimum progress on some of the goals in the prior years. and that is clearly not enough to meet the standard that we are talking about. >> think you counsel. thank you mr. chief justice. they have to overcome three different things. they must overcome the spending cause which requires that any standard be imposed. seth get we must have rally. nervously absent at the education including any standard based on the inequality. they must overcome the fact that they have read and affirmed the faith. in the systemic requirements without touching the subsidence standard. i think he was referring to that. the appendix. so he has two different arguments about the changes to the amendments we think neither of them is going to come close. nothing is unambiguous with the spending cause required. these are changes to the procedural protections and an additional goal found in

so, what should be as progressives, american progressives, israeli progressives, and progressives globally, demand of our governments in bringing that kind of future to the people. let's take a moment to talk about value. ... here are some of the values we share in this country and around the world. we believe in democracy. we believe in equality, we believe in pluralism. we are strongly opposed to phobia, we respect and will protect the rights of minorities. [applause] those are our values. those values are based upon the very simple notion, the notion that goes back thousands and thousands of years, a notion that that is installed in the bible, a notion that says that all human beings, no matter what color our skin, no matter what part the world we live in, no matter what religion we practice, as human beings we share a common humanity. that humanity is, no matter where you are it is that we all want our kids to grow up healthy. we want our children to have the best education possible. we want our kids to go out and have decent and meaningful and productive jobs. we want our kids to have

, progress or backlash?o discuss that question i'm joined with three women who i know all have strong views about the subject. ,eginning witith anna sauerbrey she says in the age of populism, fefeminism faces new challenges and the struggle is far from over. also with this is meera jamal, a freelance journalist from pakistan and editor of journalist and a salt newsletter. she says women's rights are basic human rights, and it's about time that women be treated as equal humans. and oh warm welcome to karen taylor, and active -- activist in germany. she believe it's not just donald that, putin, and erdogan are blocking quality for all women. welcome to you all. let's begin with anna sauerbrey. international women's day has been celebrated for 100 years now. why is it still necessary? anna: i think the answer is quite easy, as long as there is no equality between women and men, we need international women's day and we need feminism and we need to find more equality so we can have it some day and hopefully not t

so what should we as progress e progressives, american progressives, israeli progressives, and progriessives globally demand of our governments in bringing that kind of future to the people? let's take a moment to talk about values. it is often said that the u.s. israeli relationship is based on shared values. i think that's correct. but then we have to ask ourselves, what do we mean by shared values? what values are we, in fact, talking about? as progressives, here are some of the values that we share in this country and around the world. we believe in democracy. we believe in equality. we believe in pluralism. we are strongly opposed to xenophobia. we respect and we will protect the rights of minorities. those are our values. and those values are based upon the very simple notion, the notion that goes back thousands and thousands of years, a notion that is installed in the bible, a notion that says that all human beings, no matter what color our skin, no matter what part of the world we live in, no matter what religion we practice, but that, as human beings, we share a common humanity. and

it must be clear that eu, as 27, decides if sufficient progress has been achieved.ly in the autumn. at least i hope so. there was also a warning that the uk should not try to hold separate discussions with individual member states. divide and rule, the eu insists, will not be allowed. plenty for the government to chew on. at a nato meeting in brussels the foreign secretary was keen to emphasise the positive. both sides genuinely want an ambitious partnership in the future. we really are moving forward now and there's a lot of goodwill, a lot of willingness to achieve what the prime minister has said she wants to achieve, which is an orderly transition and a deep and special partnership between a strong eu and a strong uk. no one ever thought this was going to be easy. this document from the eu shows how many hurdles there are going to be along the road. and if there were to be a transition phase between full membership and a totally new relationship in the future, it suggests that the uk would have to accept that current laws and budget contributions would continue

these former progressives rebranded themselves as liberals. and the beginning of my book quotes walter litman in 1919 where litman's really describing the development of liberalism. he says that liberalism really doesn't have a coherent set of ideas. what it's against is against the sort of old, corrupt party politics of the past. and i actually think there's just this weird rebranding going on here from progressivism, and the rebranding is this: progressives believed in government. they believed the government could solve most of their problems. i think these liberals from the house of truth still believed in government, but also around 1918, 1919 started to recognize its excesses. and let me give you some examples. litman was really shocked and told the wilson -- wilson and other people in his administration that they shouldn't be censoring tunes during the first world war in 1918. -- newspapers during the first world war. and then he became more disenchanted with the administration because they were censoring the foreign war correspondents.

they call themselves progressives, right.think that there was a rebranding from progressivism to liberalism. maybe it was some of their perceived failures of the wilson administration. i might add there were a lot of successes in the wilson administration on their agenda but i'm not willing to blame anything on liberalists. i think i could phone a friend here because there's an expert in the audience. there was a wide swath of people who thought eugenics was good signs all along the political spectrim -- spectrum. i don't think i'm willing to do it. the first juris prudence was impoverished. he had some in december, november that descented from the espionage conditions. before that holmes wrote an opinion in 1909 that said the only thing the first amendment protected was freedom from prior restraint. that was pretty much the state of it. that just meant you could go ahead and publish but then you're going suffer the consequences, criminal or otherwise. i don't think there was a really talk about rights until sort of they star

we had long said that the-- if the economy progressed and it's been new doing nicely and making progress and showing resilience and we have confidence in the path the economy is on and if we continue to feel that, we will likely regard it as appropriate to make some further moves to scale back accommodation to move neutral along the lines of the sep. obviously there are surprises with our economic forecast possibly changing, but by the word gradual think it emphasizes that if things continue in the matter we have been going as we have said now, for quite some time we think the gradual increases in the federal funds rate will be appropriate. .. to meet on a regular basis and i fully expect to have a strong relationship with secretary mnuchin. with a very good discussions about the economy, about our regulatory objectives, the work of the f sock, global economic developers. and i look forward to continuing with him. i was introduced to the president. i had a very brief meeting and appreciated that as well. >> you said the neutral level of the threat of hunter is quite low. how close do you

as progressives, here are some of the values we share here and around the world.we believe in democracy, , opposed touralism we respect and will protect the rights of minorities. values.e our those values are based on the backe notion that goes thousands and thousands of years ,hat says that all human beings no matter what color our skin or what part of the world we live ,n, what religion we practice that we share a common humanity. , no matterty is where you are, that we all want andkids to grow up healthy to have the best education possible. jobsnt decent productive and we want our kids to have water they can drink and air they can brief that is claimed eathe that is clean. we understand that, if we theinue on this path, planet will not be a healthy planet for our kids and future generations. values, our job is to do everything we can to oppose all of the forces in our country and around the world. this is not just an american phenomenon. this is a global phenomenon. earlier this month, at a press conference with netanyahu, donald trump was asked if he supported

we have made a lot of progress since then.row profitably, strengthen capital, and -- if you look at progress we have made in 12 assets,20 billion in [indiscernible] we're hitting our targets. -- legacy, [indiscernible] [indiscernible] it has been a the 12 months and a lot of progress. it was a capital backstop, and we were clear about that in february, which has really helped us, restructuring barriers and now we have been progress as we consider other options and that is all that is all the data i can give you today. are not talking to banks, we're just considering options. a lot of reports in the media, we have been clear in february that it was an option. .ooperation was continuing to theet's cross now conference in hong kong. what else did he tell you is to mark that since the you get about how use going to tap that extra capital? >> the since we got from him is that there is no rush. he said he has got a bit of time when it comes to brexit and coming up with that strategy, but also they also have some breathing room to wa

another gradual reduction in the amount of policy accommodation reflects the economy's continued progress toward the employment and price stability objectives assigned to us by law. for some time, the committee has judged that if economic conditions einvolved as anticipated, gradual increases in the federal fund rate would likely be appropriate it achieve and pain maintain our objectives. today's decision is in line with that view and does not represent a reassessment of the economic outlook or of the appropriate course for monetary policy. i'll have more to say about monetary policy shortly but first i'll review recent economic developments in the outlook. the's con my continues to expand at a moderate pace. solid income gains and relatively high levels of consumer sentiment and wealth have supported household spending fwroej. growth. business investment which was soft for much of last year has firmed somewhat. and business sentiment is at favorable levels. over all we continue to expect the economy will expand at a moderate pace of the next few years. job gains averaged about 200,000 pe

we have long said that if the economy progressed, and it's been doing nicely i think in making progress and showing resilience and have some confidence in the path the economy is on. if we continue to feel that, we will likely regard it as appropriate to make some further moves to scale back accommodation to move toward neutral along the lines in the sep. obviously there is a price of our economic forecast can change, but the word gradual i think emphasizes if things continue in the manner we have been going as we've said now for quite some time, we think that gradual, some gradual increases in the federal funds rate will be appropriate, and this is not a significant, this is not a significant change. >> speaking of fiscal policy had get a chance to meet with the new treasury secretary yet, mr. mnuchin? if not, when will you meet with them what you want to talk to them about? have you had a chance to talk to president trump yet or meet with him? if not, would you like to and would you and what would you talk about? >> i've met a couple of times with the treasury secretary and then getti

when it comes to your question on sufficient progress.s determined exclusively by the european council. . iwant determined exclusively by the european council. . i want to be very clear, it must be clear that you, as the 27, decide if sufficient progress has been achieved. probably in the autumn, at least i hope so. donald tusk. teaching assistants are facing challenges as a result of growing financial pressures across the education system. unions also say teacher shortages and budget cuts mean too many are being left to teach classes on their own. the department for education says savings can be made without having to cut posts. with me is peter morris a support staff representative at the atl education union. thank you forjoining us. what sort of evidence do you have that teaching assistants are being required and asked to teach classes instead of a teacher? we conduct an annual survey of our own members and our own support staff members and the increasing trend is upwards in terms of all forms of teaching assista nts terms of all forms

you're a moderate progressive, you have some conservative views on different things.t means you have two different world views but about different things. neurally that means those two world views contradict each other, and the activation of one weakens the other. so if you're -- if you can use language to activate your world view in sboelsomebody else, you power. >> tell me how trump connects his mental, his world view, with his linguistics. >> first, repetition. >> right. >> over and over and over. a language means something, it activates what's called a frame in your brain which is part of a world view. so a good example -- when george bush first came into office, first time he talked about tax relief which says taxation is an affliction, and the good guys try to get, you know, rid of that affliction. the bad guys want to keep it there. then every day after that, he repeated it, repeated it, and repeated it until "the new york times" started using tax relief on its front page, and the democrats took tax relief for the middle class and so on, taking the conservative

there's examples of progress but still in need. the matchup funding that you have funded will help us close that gap. >> i could give you some examples of what is ongoing. we now have through the efforts the development of the open access resource for sharing cancer and even brought in outside groups such as foundation medicine that is going to double the number patient information into this. this is an open access available to everyone. as doctor jack said, one of the blue ribbon panel initiatives is to increase and use the funding given to congress to now increase this ability, also the nci this developing cloud pilots. these pilots will expand data sets that will include imaging and immunotherapeutic. so integrating the data set so we can start to look at different cancers and better understand the tumor environment and not just the genetics. there's other factors that contribute. it what it will allow us to do is look at rare cancers and try to use cancers put in this database to increase the number and we can make more hypothe

we have long said that if the economy progressed, an it's been doing nicely. i think in making progress, in showing resilience, have some confidence in the path the economy is on. and if we continue to feel that, we will likely regard it as appropriate to make some further moves to scale back accommodation to move toward neutral along the lines in the sep. obviously there are surprises, our economic forecast can change. but the word gradual, i think, emphasizes that if things continue in the manner that we've been going as we have said now for quite some time, we think the gradual -- gradual increases in the federal funds rate will be appropriate. this is not a, you know, this is not a significant -- this is not significant change. >> peter barnes, fox business, speaking of fiscal policy have you had a chance to meet with the new treasury secretary, mr. mnuchin, and if not, when will you meet with him and what will you talk to him about. and have you had a chance to meet with president trump and talk to him and if not would you and what would you like to talk

california is a progressive state. brown figuredor this was his last go around and he was going to take the money and run. thank god we are going to get a progressive in california as governor and attorney general. thank you very much. seventhia is the largest economy in the world. we don't need it to go down. we needed to go up and become the sixth or the fifth. this is ridiculous to have fracking in california and destroy our fruits and vegetables. thank you very much. that definitely betweents the tension governor brown's first term in second term. -- and second term. a moreted talking in underscored way about climate change and the urgency of climate change. having a more aggressive goal to meet that. vivid anda definite emphasis as he moved into his final term. it as you point out -- as you point out, this is the final year of his tenure and certainly moving into the next campaign, the candidates will have to talk about which policies they would like to continue if they want to make any tweaks to that. there is a

are we making progress at all? >> absolutely. the ice bucket challenge raised a lot of money for basic science research. and there have been a lot of advances at that level. but they haven't translated yet into drugs to test in clinical trials but i'm hopeful about the future that we'll have better treatments provided the research can still continue at the current level. >> stem cell therapy is a big thing. is that part of the als program here. >> it's a very big thing. and there's currently a trial in california at cedar sanai in los angeles. and sites are being picked for california for other simple trials but still aimed at slowing down progression. and what we hope ultimately is to have treatments that reverse the weakness and can prevent the fatal outcome. >> if someone in your family has als are you susceptible. if your parents for instance become ill with this disease. >> rarely. about 10% of the time it's familia. and people know if it is. 50% of family members would be effected. >> what would you say to dwight clark in h

they are saying through progress that these people can be saved. what is progress? it is integration into the national economy, american progress, this idea of america that has come into being in the gilded age, yeah. that is what according to frost can save these people. i think that is the underlying assertion here. you can see how, for instance, when we look at the rise of the extraction industries, we talk about land seizures. you can see how this thinking could be used to justify certain actions. it is all in the name of progress. perhaps these people don't know what is best for them, we know what is best. all right, great, guys. while the local color literature saw appalachian traditions as quaint curiosities, much of the south viewed the region has embarrassments, and obstacle to progress. we have seen in our discussion in the feud book how state authorities from kentucky and west virginia only really got involved in the hatfield-mccoy feud after the railroad industry had brought outside investment and national attention to the area. the leading intelligence,

donald tusk, suggests a phased strategy for brexit negotiations, allowing trade talks to begin once progress is made on the divorce deal. we really are moving forward now and there is a lot of goodwill, a lot of willingness, to achieve what the prime minister has said she wants to achieve, which is an orderly transition. a 23—year—old man has been charged with the murder of a mother and her 13—year—old son, who were stabbed to death at their home. there will be longer waits for routine operations like hip replacements as the nhs in england tries to improve a&e and cancer treatments. also, it's one of the biggest wildlife conservation projects ever seen in britain. the back from the brink campaign is being launched today and it aims to save at least 20 species from extinction. and it's full steam ahead for the flying scotsman at the re—opening of the settle—to—carlisle rail line. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. this news came through from the police in the last half an hour. this news came through from the police in the last half an hour. within the past hour, a man has been charged w

we have long said if the economy of progress and it's been doing nicely making progress and showing resilience and have confidence in the path of the economy is on and if we continue to fill that, we will likely regard it as appropriate to making further moves to scale back accommodation to move towards a mutual line now obviously there are surprises in the economic forecast could change, but the word gradual i think emphasizes that if things continue in the manner that we have been going as we've said now for quite some time we think the gradual increase in the federal funds rate will be appropriate and this is not a significant change. >> speaking of fiscal policy have you had a chance to meet with the new treasury secretary yes and if not, when will you meet with him and what do you want to talk to him about and have you had a chance to talk with president trump or meet with him and if not, would you like to, would you be and what would you talk about? >> i met a couple times with the treasury secretary and him getting to know him. i think it's traditional for the secretaries to meet on a r

what does sufficient progress in men and who is it that will define it? 27 decides if sufficient progress has been achieved. probably in the autumn.- least i hope so. there was also a warning that the uk should not try to hold separate discussions with individual member states. divide and rule, the eu insists, will not be allowed. plenty for the government to chew on. at the nato meeting in brussels the foreign secretary was keen to emphasise the positive. both sides genuinely want an ambitious partnership in the future. we really are moving forward and there is a lot of goodwill, a lot of willingness to achieve what the prime minister has said she wants to achieve, which is an orderly transition and a deep and special partnership between a strong eu and a strong uk. no one ever thought this was going to be easy. this document from the eu shows how many hurdles there are going to be along the road. and if there were to be a transition phase between full membership and a totally new relationship in the future it suggest that the uk would have to accept tha

you think about that progress. chad had the ability to participate in a trial at kettering university in new york where they insert a catheter directly into the tumor. we felt obligated that we needed to do something that was not going to hurt him. again, maybe it would cure him. at the time that's what we were thinking. that wasn't the case, but they have learned so much from that trial. there are so few clinical trials available as there is. and i look at this budget and i think about all this promise even just around this one disease, and the fact that zero new grants would come out, that leaves just this one disease all in the hands of families like our's. nothing is going to happen from that. we're doing our best. we're doing our best to raise something, but without the support of the nih, all that progress is going to go downhill. and not having those new scientists, those new researchers, those bright minds say i want to commit nymyself t making a difference, if they have no funding, how can they do that? wh

he is a product of the era where you mentioned the progressives earlier, but there are a lot of progressive causes they gave rise to a modern advocacy model. people calling and organizing visits to congressman, not offices, there were not any then, well there were. letter writing campaigns, letter to the editor programs, public meetings -- the kinds of things we think of today as being a central part of modern organized political action. that was really the anti-saloon league. you also saw other advocates oftentimes intersecting with them. people trying to secure passage of anti-federal labor laws, people trying to secure passage of immigration restriction or laws loosening, it was a time of heightened for -- political activism. jeffrey: wheeler was described as an older version of net flanders -- ned flanders. lisa: i kind of like that. flanders was terrifying, that would be the best way to describe it. he has an insane organizational --se and a willingness to let's just say pressure. if he had been part of the mob he would've been successful. it was one of those things where he was able t
