what went wrong in rhode island? how'd rhode island not benefit from the same forces that helped massachusetts and new york? >> i'll tell you what i think. my theory. massachusetts has done a great job of partnering and collaborating. you know government can't do everything. government cannot make an economy work. it has to be collaboration and bottoms up. great things happen at the intersection of universities working with government working with business and massachusetts and pittsburgh and other places that have had a renaissance, they've nailed that. and rhode island hasn't. we just haven't brought together -- yes, we have brown university. we have rhode island school of design. but we haven't married them with industry. so we haven't tapped the intellectual capital there to turn those great ideas into comers. the other thing candidly is as a state we were just too reliant for too long on manufacturing. just so everyone knows rhode island was hurt more than almost any state in the country, more than michigan, in

and rhode island hasn't.we just haven't brought together -- yes we have brown university and a school of design the school of design but we haven't married them with industry so we haven't tapped the intellectual capital to turn those good ideas into commerce. the other thing candidate lee is at the state we were too reliant for too long on manufacturing. just so everyone knows rhode island was hurt almost more than any other state in the number of manufacturing jobs we've lost. and we were very dependent on manufacturing ten years ago. so we waited for too long to reposition ourselves. my dad had a way of describing things and he said i can see it and i was working in the jewelry shop all of the jewelry shops were going away and massachusetts, they got into computers. they tapped into mit and turned them into businesses. so it's my job now as a governor to move. we are adding passed by. >> the difference between new york and massachusetts and rhode island is about the political culture. >> i think the cultur

i am thrilled to be joined by the governor of rhode island. thank you for joining us for this session. let's get started. you are one of a dwindling number of democratic governors. you are in your first term as a democratic governor. but you ran on a reform platform that alienated some traditional democratic constituencies. is that a recipe that more democrats should be following at the state level to get the number of democratic governors up? >> the theme of my campaign is that i was relentlessly focused on economic development and job creation. i think every advertisement my campaign did was focused on that. that was a better that we made. the work that i had done around pension reform certainly did alienate some of the public-sector labor unions. it was difficult in the primary. let's get things done. i think i was able to convince people i would take that same courage that i would get through the pension to fixing an ailing economy. >> there is an increasing tension within the democratic party. there is a large number of democrats that are

rhode island's up 11. later in the half kevin larson usually the low block.ut here feel like knocking down a three pointer. gw up 2. rhode island they did take this game late. terrell. nice drive and the foul. rhode island goes on to win over george washington 59-54. >>> 14th ranked vcu with richmond. these fans not going the like what they see in this game. second half anthony took over. defender falls but he doesn't. anthony pulls up for the jumper. richmond's up 7. he was just getting started. had a game high 22 points. richmond starting to pull away. later in the half scary moment for vcu. that is weber going down. he is on the floor in pain. looks like an apparent knee injury right there. he had to be helped off the court and returned on crunches. they fall to richmond 64-52. >>> howard and catholic both winners tonight. american will play on monday. >>> let's go over to the ice now. the capitals always seems to give his team a chance to win in montreal. a perfect 4-0 record there with 2 shutouts. outstanding again today. the teammates not so much. ovech

rhode island never sent delegates.out the entire period only washington and madison attended every session. with secrecy strictly enforced the only record of the proceedings comes from madison's notes or minutes, the official tally of motions and votes, and a scattering of personal letters and writings. the silence engulfing the convention especially limits what is known about washington's role because, as the presiding officer, as the speaker would know, he rarely spoke on substantive matters inside the hall where madison recorded the debate. washington did talk privately with other members, of course and voted, which makes him different from the speaker of our congress now. he voted consistently with the virginia delegation. he also supervised the deliberations and called on members when they spoke. the other members likely knew where he stood on significant matters, but beyond his oft-stated desire to create a central government with the power to tax, to maintain an army, and to regular late interstate and internati

rhode island, for those of you to give you a sense of what we're dealing with, rhode island has one of the weakest economies in the nation. which it might be a surprise to you because we're nestled between new york and boston. we have great amazing universities. we ought to be a thriving economy, but we're not. we were crushed when the manufacturing sector left, and we didn't reposition ourselves for high-growth industries. so i'm in the position where we are facing a $200 million shortfall. the natural instinct would be to cut and there has to be some cuts, except you can't just cut. you can't cut your way to prosperity or job creation. we have to cut in the areas where we spend too much or that aren't job creating. and then reallocate that money to job training, skill development, economic incentives for businesses. and that is exactly the task before me. but those are tough choices. you have to look at medicare for example. rhode island spends the most in the country per enrolle on medicaid. not doing a great job. taking care of the most vulnerable. but spending money doing it. you'

g and rhode island in a nailbiter. -- gw and rhode island in a nailbiter. gw loses 60 9/5 -- 69-55. some early action this saturday in montreal. montreal goalie carey fife was on fire. multiple opportunities to score but could not get past them. braden was also outstanding. a good look. he has 29 saves today. montreal has some numbers right here. they only a goal of the game. round three of the way for managing open. the ball would eventually roll into the cup and fans start throwing beer cans, no flowers beer cans. i guess it makes sense because it is super bowl weekend in phoenix, arizona. george mason falls to duquesne. dugan virginia was everything we hoped for. >> except the final score. [laughter] exactly. couric's a woman who spend -- >> a celebration tonight for a woman who spent decades helping the less fortunate. mother mary read celebrating her 90th earth day tonight. more than 40 years ago, her husband founded the soup kitchen in northwest. mrs. reed is showing no signs of slowing down as she continues to prepare meals for those in need even today. the super bowl rivalry

that's what drove rhode island -- she's a bus service in rhode island that she saw library hours being cut in order to pay these back pension liabilities. >> one more quick question for you daniel and response from michael, and the microphones are up and hope you will bring your own questions. let's say that you are right, that public unions have unfair advantage that made it such an unfair advantage that outweighs the benefits that they provide to the public. if that is so what is to be done? >> well, that's a hard question. one i usually try to dock last night -- try to duck. [laughter] i try to analyze this phenomenon as we both agree hasn't been that state. i think as michael mentioned, and he's right there's an enormous amount of variation. this book is mostly about state and local government, about states and cities and lots of variation across the country. so some places have big pension problems. think of illinois, new jersey. other states have big pay premiums. my home state of new york for public employees, that's the case. that's on a global -- not equitable. those will requ

and he said i would to try out for rhodes too. he was in hot springs and i was in little rock, and i followed his incredible career, and i asked him as we left that day, and i was leaving for georgetown to go back to west point, and i said, to you ever think you might do something in politics? and he said, well, i have thought about it. [laughter] so we went back a long way, and i always admired his drive, and he got into arkansas politics early, and he made a huge difference in this state. i do so many of you out here have followed his growth and leadership and have benefited enormously. >> and tell us your story. >> i came from capitol hill, and my job at the national security council, and i had a few jobs there, and the most important one was the chief of staff at the national security council, so i was working for the national security council, but for sandy there, but without being too repetitive of what he described, while i did end up focusing a fair amount of time substantively on the middle east, i would say the main way

we are back with the white house deputy national security advisor, ben rhodes.y detail all these plans? as you know the senate armed services committee chairman john mccain, member lindsay graham they said this risks the success of the mission. your response? >> well first of all, when it comes to operational briefings, that's a decision we leave up to the military. so the military makes their judgments about what information is shared about their operations whether it's their ongoing operations or prospective operations. the fact that mosul is going to be a key part of this campaign is known to everybody. we have said we want to reclaim the land that isil has taken. we want to push them essentially out of iraqi population centers. so clearly mosul was going to be a focus. there is nothing new about that. i think again, what they spoke to is the approach we have been taking which is the united states provides air power. we work with partners on the ground who are training and equipping and we are steadily going to push isil out of all these areas, not just mosul

president i yield the floor to my friend and colleague from rhode island. >> mr.resident. >> the senator from rhode island. >> let me commend the chairman for his very clear, very thoughtful conduct in these hearings with respect to dr. carter and the reason we are here today on the verge of a very strong vote for dr. carter's secretary defense is the contribution of chairman mccain has made to this process and in an extremely bipartisan fashion and again let me thank him for that. mr. president if i may one procedural detail i would ask unanimous consent that a detail he on the finance committee be allowed on the senate floor for the remainder of the day. >> without objection. >> thank you mr. prison. again mr. president i join senator mccain and not only commend him for his leadership but also to express my strong support for the nomination of dr. ashton carter to be the 25th secretary of defense. dr. carter is uniquely qualified to lead as when henry kissinger said before the armed services committee the united states has not faced a more diverse and complex ar

i'm a professor of rhode island and a resident of massachusetts and i'm also the grandson of new york philanthropist brooke astor victim of elder abuse by her son son, my father. as president of the vincent astor foundation my grandmother advance its mission by giving millions of dollars to social and cultural causes. in 1998 president bill clinton afforded her the presidential medal of freedom. well into her 90s she was at center stage as new york's first lady and a humanist aristocrat with a generous heart. by 2000 when she was 100 she disappeared from the limelight. she didn't return until july july 2006 when my guardianship petition which i filed to protect my grandmother against my father was discovered by the press. front page headlines displayed disaster from mrs. astor. my grandmother would never want to be known as one of america's most famous cases of elder abuse nor did she. in the throes of dementia to choose to be victimized to be deprived to manipulated and robbed all as part of a calculated scheme to defraud us later characterized by the manhattan district attorney at t

the issue to national and international attention, but in many states from indiana to michigan to rhode island to california to new york to illinois, this is where the action has been in state and local government. i think going forward we are going to see public employee unions as being getting a lot more attention in the press and the media and the subject of a lot more scrutiny than they have been prior to 2008. so i think that prior to 2008 journalists did not cover public employee unions closely. scholars do not either. when it comes to labor historians, political scientists, there just is not much written looking at public employee unions. my book is the first to try to take on this big subject and synthesize what we know, and make some arguments and conclusions from that. i think it is interesting because the study of public employee unions is really fundamental to our political life because we are studying the state. we are really studying the political activity of government's own employees. what do i argue? i try to make a conceptual, very important distinction between unions

this was happening in rhode island and limiting the printing of paper money. we need to have, we need to have a national market economy that can roll the economy rather than each fighting. so you have the central government with complete power over interstate commerce. and, of course, you have a government that can raise taxes and have a military force so they can secure and protect political independence and open the west. washington always wrote about we need to open the west because that is our frontier. that's who we are. if we don't have the frontier america would not be america because that's an open valve for people who don't have opportunity in the east to go west and make a name for themselves, make a place for themselves open land and also where easterners can invest. so it's those notions. and those were the things he cared about going to the constitutional convention. and so many of the things madison wanted that are in the virginia plan never came to be in the constitution. everything washington set out to have in the constitution, everything was

many schools in rhode island simply don't have the electronic bandwidth for a class to take the test at once. so it's not one test. it's three tests. and you can't teach the other kids while the other kids are in the tests. we have got to solve this problem. and it is an efficiency problem. it is a problem of simply being smart about gathering information. but i'm really concerned about this. and i'm saying this at this point to invite conversation with my colleagues. as we go forward. the superstructure of education supervision i'm not sure passes the test of being worth all the expense and all the trouble. and it's very discouraging to teachers in rhode island who've talked to me they hear about the race to the top money that comes into the state and the state gets a big grant and everybody does a press conference, and it's like the rain falling over the desert where the rain comes pouring out of the clouds. but by the time you're actually at the desert floor not a raindrop falls. it's all been absorbed in between. i have never had a teacher say know boy race to the top gave me jus
