as we begin our work this year, i am happy to report to you that the state of the state is strong and growing. [ applause ] last week i relayed to you in my inaugural address that nebraska has achieved high marks over the past year. we are the number one state for fiscal condition, number to for cost of doing business and regulatory environment. we have the third highest wage growth of any state since 2014. we have the fourth best workforce participation rate. forbes says we are the fifth best state overall for business, and we have the sixth lowest on a plate pointed rate in the country. over the past four years, we have strengthened nebraskans place in the world with our four pillars of growth. which include developing our people, cutting the regulatory redtape, controlling spending so we can deliver tax relief, and promoting the masker nebraska both nationally and internationally. this has led us to back to back awards for the most economic development projects per capita of any state in the nation. in our work this year, it is important to remember that even as the state is employ

a state like iowa, you have to build an operation in separate precincts across the state. by getting in early, a gives you a jumpstart to build those relationships, start building that infrastructure, start having those conversations with iowans. you're asking people to go out there on a cold, winter night and telling people why you think they should lead our country forward. that's the advantage of getting in early, the opportunity to build strong relationships. susan: josh, next question. josh: iowa, new hampshire, as you all know, some of the most important in the nomination process. they are also majority white states in the country, even within the democratic party. you think with going diversity -- growing diversity, they will be playing as significant a role in the nomination process as in the past? susan: mr. buckley, why don't you start? chariman buckley: sure, i think that's why we made that effort a few years ago to include nevada and south carolina into this process, to ensure there was greater diversity in the early states. we welcome them and we work very clo

rational reason for why we should come to the brink of mutual destruction but situational factors the state of the american political system the competence of policymakers political polarization all of that according to some russian thinkers at least increases their risk of misunderstanding or brinkmanship do you disagree with. yes largely i mean i mean i'm not going to argue that the world of the united states is being led by the shrewdest president in the history of the country but the desire of both sides i think for wars are extremely small if i give you one example during the crimean problem obama was constantly being pressured to do more to help the the ukrainians and obama one said ok do you want me to go to war with russia over that anybody want to go to war with russia over that stand up and tell me and no one said anything of course so there's willingness to play around the edges but not to engage in a major war but i think in the kray mean situation the stakes were drastically different for russia and the united states and obama admitted that later on for russia it was a matter o

state. about the same number of out of state residents coming to delaware. those are two examples. there's a lot of movement across state lines. there's a lot of movement across state lines in our country. we wanted to explore that challenging environment to see if mileage based usage fee could work. the second area is probably no news to folks here. there's a lot of tolls on the east coast. we have a lot of experience on the east coast with how do we figure out interoperability? how do we figure out how to collect fees on the road? then we have the violation, which is a challenge. there's lessons from the tolling authorities that we need to make sure we bring into this. they are a key partner with us. freight movement. on the east coast, we have over 5 billion tons of freight moving up and down the east coast every year. we have 46 major seaports. there's a lot of freight movement. a majority is moved by trucks. they are a key user and payer of our system. we want to make sure their unique

one of the governors of the state from rhode island earlier this month in her state of the state address talked about expanding the state's efforts when it comes to precollege. >> two years ago working together we took a historic step as a state. we took a historic step and made community college tuition free for every high school student. , highest impact investments that, the state of rhode island has ever made. [applause] since then since then the percentage of students on track to graduate from ccri has quadrupled. in rome it has doubled. i can't go a week without someone stopping me and saying, they promise scholarship has changed their life or changed the life of their son or daughter. tuition free community college is one of the lowest cost, highest impact investments that the state of rhode island has ever made. so this year i propose we expand what is working and i propose we expand the promise to rhode island college to cover the last two years of a four year degree at rhode island college. >> jason as mentioned before some 20 states with various precollege plans, how many of t

tom mentioned it, 39 states have raised their state tax fees. that means the voters in the states have said that with elected officials have taken the courage to improve our way of life. , it's going to -- it's a matter of making an echo chamber to support what needs to be done. the issue is, when you really get down to and i think trish talked about it a moment ago. the cost of doing nothing is so much more than the cost of doing some ring. if we continue to let elected officials do nothing the gap will continue to grow. as you take it to the average consumer, $1500 per year is pretty significant. what would the tax look like? what would the 20 sent user fee cost an average commuter each year, it will come $220 based off national statistics, 13,000 miles per year 22 miles per gallon and you can take the math for the rest of it. we've got to do something now to take care of what our challenges are right now and what the future is. by the way, this $55 million that we are spending on highways right now about $.08- $.09 or $.80-$.90 out of every d

i love my state. but my state currently has a poll tax. the contradiction of the 24th amendment to the constitution of the united states of america. i give you an idea, if you are indigent, i tested that system. i voted without my proper id. in the state of texas, they will accord you an idea no cost. if you are from texas. because in my case i'm from louisiana. i had to get my birth certificate from louisiana and get mike to get my idea texas and i had to pay a fee for that. a clever way to disenfranchise. i think god for the federal government. and they stand that is been taken over the years to protect the rights of people in states. my question, you said mr. hicks, that the states are moving toward some sort of paper component, i believe is the phraseology that you used. paper trail is what people at my level of life would probably say. why are they doing this? what is the rationale for moving to paper? verification? >> it is a couple of things, confidence to ensure if there is an audit being done, there is some sort of physical trail

new york state, is the number one donor state in the united states of america. we send more money to washington then we get back and we send more money that we don't get back than any other state in the nation. forty states, take more than they give so we have a federal government that is against redistribution of income among people. but they have no problem redistributing income from some states to other states and what they did is they took from the republican read democratic states to give to the republican states. and we are feeling the pain. and that is the 3 billion-dollar hole. at the same time, we have priority investments that we want to make. so we have a negative $3 billion and then we want to invest more in targeted priorities in this budget tries to balance them. the four largest cost priorities are education healthcare, and t8 infrastructure in a middle-class tax cut. on education, we should be very proud of the amount of money that we have spent. we spend the most money. pupil in the nation. we spent two times the national average. the problem wi

and that is, if states and cities recognize their local and state comparative advantages and build aroundse, that can be not only very good for states and cities, but can be very important for the overall economy and i think at least that the idea of building around state and local comparative advantages should be a significant part of a nations economic strategy. having said all that, it is obviously very important that states and cities and their policymaking make sound sensible and effective decisions. the potential, if we have evidence-based decisions and rigorous evidence based approaches for better decision- making at the state and local level is very substantial, and brookings of course has had a long-standing focus on the issues of state cities and sometimes regions. but there's a lot more that can be done, at least in our view in that area. the purpose of today's program is to focus on how to make state and city decision-making more effective and also to focus on some specific policies. policy organizations for the most part as we all know tend to focus primarily on federal polic

let's begin tonight by recognizing that the state of because our strong people are strong. >> the state of the union, first postponed because of the government shutdown, now tuesday night to watch as president trump delivers his state of the union address live from the chamber beginning at 9:00 p.m. on c-span followed by the democratic response by the former to candidate stacey abrams. of the union is live, tuesday at 9:00 eastern on c-span, c-span.org, or listen with the free c-span radio app. >> in hopes of avoiding another government shutdown after february 15, members of the house and government toropriations committee met figure out how to deal, including on border security. chair jimena leads off the first conference committee meeting which is one hour and 15 minutes. after that come will hear reaction, speaking with reporters.

it's also revealing in that it -- he doesn't state -- does state pretty clearly that the states in the south would grow in economic wealth and power, an explicit goal that this would help build this part of the united states which is being held back by these internal nations within the united states. on one hand, it's very clear what it's saying, that we are doing this for economic development reasons, and it is extremely misleading in that it implies that this is voluntary, this is an offer. it is misleading in that it does not signify that it is targeting indian nations in the south. after the indian removal act was passed in may 1830, indian nations still fought against it. they still marshaled public opinion, they filed suits in the united states supreme court to prevent it. and, you know, kept fighting throughout the 1830's. some indian nations did go ahead with removal. it's important to remember, conditions on the ground were really hard at that point. indians were under attack, a racist attack, and a lot of indians understood where this was all going. the cherokee nation fought

announcer: next, california governor gavin newsom delivers his state of the state address from the state capital of sacramento. he is a former governor and mayor of san francisco from 2004. he easily won election last november, winning almost 62% of the vote. applause]d mr. newsom: thank you, thank you, thank you. you never know, this could take a long time. two hours or one? i set i think one. we are going to be all right, but i want to thank all of you. you in particular, being a champion, not just for all californians but for being an extraordinary and courageous leader, and thank you very much for your generosity in welcoming yourself and my wife. madam pro tem, i thank you for the commitment for collaboration, which has been demonstrable, and i think it has really helped make the first productive,arkably and this is a nice thing to say. thank you, madam lieutenant governor for that introduction. plus, for lieutenant governor, t oo, something that is not always the case. and thell of our staff constitutional officers, i want to thank you for being here today, all of the elected offic

which state are you from? you understand.>>> thank you, i think everybody wants to see a deal done, i think it's a good deal, a lot of people would agree it has a lot of good provisions in it, the tariff sting, they do, but there has been a value in drawing everybody to the table, the other major point, which larry was alluding to, long-term, this is a big domino to fall, to put pressure on europe and asia to get subsequent deals done, speaking solely from the u.s. perspective, but from a north american perspective as well, that's why we want to see that. i would want to ask larry, how do you see the tears come into play for the u.s. ratification process? will that be done in parallel? you see it doing alone, congress taking up as the ratification process moves on in the spring? >>> any slightly similar process, what is the ratification process in mexico, i don't know what canada has to do, but is it a similar process along the southern border?>> i will start with the last question, in a way it is similar, but

a state -- [ applause ]. a state where our higher education system and the real economy are deeply connected. where good jobs can sustain middle class dreams. a state where our seniors can retire safe in the knowledge that someone is looking out for them, so they won't have to leave for elsewhere. it's a state where we shrink the economic in equities that have stubbornly existed, where poverty is reduced and the playing field is leveled. it's a state that thrives through living its strong values. it's the new jersey we should be. it's the new injuries that's together we can be. as eleanor roosevelt, a hero said, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. my energy and optimism for the job ahead are boundless and shared by the residents i met along this journey. i know we can make this vision a reality. this is my charge as governor, this must be our charge as a state. thank you. may god continue to bless the great people and the state of new jersey and the united states of america.

of the state address. as has been the case each of the previous times it is a humbling asvilege to stand before you montana's governor. i stood at this very spot six years ago and introduced myself by saying my name is steve and i work for the state. work hard i would every day, guided by my values to protect of the state that gave me the opportunities in deliveringfrom newspapers to the governor's to living andld raising her three children in it today. this sounds in our household have changed over those six years. the sounds of young children laughing and playing. they have turned into silent eye rolls, exasperated sighs and embarrassment as those young children have grown into jokesers. while my dad awesome,d's are apparently being governor is no longer as cool as it once was. those a household sounds have changed, there is still a constant reminder to me of the reason i show up for work each day. my family has always shaved my perspective in office. i want my kids and all montana kids to have every opp

what's the state of the trump administration? chaos. what's the state of trump foreign policy? inside out and backward. on the economy, wealthy shareholders, cashing in from the trump gop cash loan. american workers left holding the bag. on health care, after years of steady decline, the number of americans without health insurance is going back up. the state of the trump administration is chaos. we've had more cabinet turnovers than in 100 years. even republicans are worried about that. there was an article in the the 705on post that of top appointed jobs, the president hasn't nominated people to 150. foreign policy. to chastise, criticize and even humiliate our allies. and embrace our enemies. such as russia, china and north korea. can say whatmp, he he wants about the state of the union. the american people know all of its problems. these are not the only challenges we face. is inate of our union need of drastic repair. for the last two years, the white house previewed addresses to congress. each time they had -- emphasize unity, bipartisanship. the next morning president tr

to your states back to law that seeks to decide who wins the presidency based on how the majority of people vote such sentiments been growing since drums were twenty six the legal is done of it's got the latest on. america a place that writes dates backwards has a really weird voting system and uses around four times more water than europe to flush their number ones and twos and if you think i'm going to talk about flushing here i totally will except not in the sense you were perhaps expecting the us voting system so far has been centered around the concept of an electoral college but there's a growing movement in america to send it down the drain and see what i did there the states of new mexico and colorado have backed a law that seeks to decide who wins the presidency based on how the majority of people vote making sure that people no matter where they happen to live have an equal vote we or last i checked the legislature and we do under the united states constitution have an authority to determine whatever manner we would like. to point our electors if you're confused at this poi

sebastian because this paid the first state visit by an austrian chance to the u.s. in the scene is that the white house seen his american counterpart donald trump didn't see eye to eye the. the austrian chancellor has given his continued backing for the nord stream to gas pipeline project despite clear objections from the united states sebastian kurtz was speaking after meeting with donald trump at the white house president trump has clearly said that the united states is against this project buying gas from the united states would not be a problem for us but as long as russia's price is beth of matter of the united states russia is more attractive for us as upon on this issue i believe that as a former businessman trump can understand that we have different interests here the united states pretty much hates the north stream to gas line project and doesn't care who knows it in fact they've got as far as to put pressure on e.u. nations and on companies belonging to european countries saying that there could be potential sanctions put on them if they continue to assoc

caller: i would like to ask this what the -- you stated united states wants and president trump wants from north korea. do you know what the north koreans really wants out of the negotiation with us? also, based upon history and iraq as well as libya and those leaders ended up out of power, what are we going to do as far as the latest of north korea if we come up with an agreement. guest: that is a great question. in any negotiation, there is give-and-take. -- one side is going to get no one side is going to get everything they want. the north koreans have made their through private statements to experts and the u.s. saw it but they are looking for an initial steps to include a political declaration on the end of the war. woulde north koreans this be important. it would show the united states does not intend to seek regime change. stevefficials including begin has said that what they want a formal political declaration signed by the president. they are and just did in sanctions released. the international sanctions regime is having an effect on north korea. not to the extent we would

throwback to threaten the united states as they would say the united states threatens. the timing of the announcement was no coincidence please raise your right hand and repeat after me adalah new american president was sworn in. trump do solemnly swear did you good to go with donald trump everything changed some u.s. presidents had been more tolerant of north korea others less so. but no president had ever threatened to obliterate north korea that had never been an option for him when did he get there was it i will support him in september twenty seventeen president trump gave a provocative speech at the u.n. mr secretary-general. mr president from world leaders. and distinguished delegates. welcome to new york. it was a profound honor to stand here in my home city who is a representative of the american people. now north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatens the entire world. the united states has great strength and page but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea.

oh united states of america illegally overthrew him with no hope of the of the united states maintain that power despite having moved you off already that's really military why do you hear what i said military that threat of force violent sprouse what you how else are they maintaining power in. their population we just talked about how many guest fania two hours and in traffic we're all americans are waiting to hear was. but yours. we are the evidence. that the nationalisation where the evidence of the war crime we're not the war crimes ourselves. already is an independent country all that was overthrown and eighty ninety three was our government by the united states not our country so our country is still an independent state but we're not a control of our independence we're occupying. this book overthrow is an attempt to show the times that america overthrew foreign governments over a long period. the united states at least in a relative sense is declining in power in the world and we can still remain and i believe will still remain a potent dominant force in the world and we need t

as an application then for united states to and to be an argument there really i'm actually united states in a way from my comic point of view it's been an example of a united states a pencil. to six to two beyond all are seeing in a decade in revenues out of only of people with refugee background talking about migrants here right so you can buy is being by migrants so the economy the economy of course of course and develop synchros with migrants and germany should be looking at it and america understands that and basically we just need to get rid of these thoughts and make them one and remark my gratitude. toward all the thanks so much for being with us and thank you as well wherever you're viewing us from around the world for joining us here at ford reagan don't forget you can always send us your comments or twitter facebook or you tube as well for now though for me brian thomas the entire team thanks so much for joining us hope to see you again next hour. or or. i'm not laughing at the jam while i just sometimes i am but i'm still laughing whimpered the german thinks deep into the germ

the states argue the president doesn't have the power to divert funding. u.s. president donald trump has issued a warning to the venezuelan military after a rally in miami says they'll be no way out if the military continues to support president nicolas maduro and that all options are on the table. pakistan has recalled that's high commissioner from new delhi as tensions rise over thursday's suicide bombing in indian administered kashmir several soldiers and suspected fighters were killed on monday as government forces such for those involved in the last. a new round of trade talks between the united states and china are set to be held in washington on tuesday and follows last week's negotiations in beijing which ended without a deal but negotiators say some progress has been made at resolving the ongoing trade war between the world's two largest economies china correspondent adrian brown joins us now live from beijing adrian what do you make of where we are in the talks at the moment and who has the upper hand. well as you said both sides say the progress

the car imports into the united states probably not. and again to merkel's point that she did in munich are german cars manufactured in the united states a threat to u.s. national security i think that that is an important question to answer and in my mind it's not a very credible argument for the united states making ok think it's a stretch as well and absolutely i mean especially especially right now as i said i mean with with a much being awakened if he just basically going to fire back all these people who are not going to be in his fight in america right now it's just that it's basically like two different polls and we will see more of america coming up. and i hope that she will use the power that she has right now basically to this myth and and these arguments that have absolutely no sense ok well multiply when you look at this exports of course crucial for germany similar situation here to china fifty percent of the economy is dependent on exports i'm just think business leaders are are sitting up and paying attention to what the

new hampshire, lining a lot of other states -- unlike a lot of other states, where the state department would provide those services, new hampshire entered into a prithe-public partnership with -- private-public partnership with nine other organizations like us to cover the state. we serve about 1,000 people, 1,000 families. we have an annual budget of about $30 million. across the state i think the system supports probably around 12,000 and annual budget is closer to $400 million. most of the support that the people that we work with, most of the people that we work with , we call them our clients, most of our clients continue to live at home. and the primary care giver for those individuals is their family. and what we do is we supplement that support by making -- getting funding so that they can hire people to come in and help them in the community. and we call those folks direct support professionals. who take them out into the community. if one of those people is unable to come to work, it puts a tremendous stress on the family. because most of the families of the people we work wi

more than any other state had through their state legislature. i personally -- [applause] ms.ams: i personally got in my car and went to the republican districts where they wouldn't talk about the a.c.a. and that is the story for another day. when i start to drink, i will do it. [laughter] i will tell you about it. but i went to parts of north georgia where they did not allow democrats. i went to parts of the state where race issues remain strong and divisive and corrosive, and yet when i stepped into those spaces to talk about health care, folks showed up. i remember going to a part of north georgia sitting in a church that was on a mountain. i drove in early because they told me i needed to make sure i made my way back down the mountain by the afternoon. and i sat in that church telling a group of people who would never think to vote for me for office about how they could sign up for the affordable care act. because their representatives, their leaders, wouldn't tell them. and as i sat in that room, in that church, and i helped sign folks up, and we got things done, this gen

state of the union?> and this comes up. what does it knefeel like? >> it feels a little bit like deja vu because he said so many times during the campaign he was going to get rid of the deal. but my biggest concern besides the team that worked on this so hard to get it done, the people all over the world who worked so hard to get this done, let alone the president of the united states, secretary of state john kerry, is what it means for the security of our country. the president of the united states is the commander in chief. he's about trying to make our country secure. leaving the inf agreement, the intermediate forces agreement with russia is leaving us more insecure and a gift to putin. leaving the iran deal is a gift to the hard hardliners in iran. negotiating with kim jong-il -- kim jong-un without proper intelligence is -- >> ambassador wendy sherman, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >>> when we come back, congressman adam schiff, chairman of the house intelligence committ

thank you. >> hi, i wanted to know how states, why states would not be passing these laws. i know you guys have been advocating to pass these laws for a while now. why do some states take longer or white or some lagging so far behind others? >> passing these laws is very challenging. it really takes some strong leadership and a commitment to see it through the legislative process and of course each state has its own process. sometimes it's a multiyear effort. but when we find it really dedicated elected official, including governors and lieutenant governors who make it a priority, that is where we have found our greatest success. and as i mentioned, last year five states enacted laws and that was from progress. if every state just past one law this year, that would be 50 new laws and we would be in better shape on our highways that all motorists would be safer. >> okay if there are no more questions in the audience heard one question came in online from the providence journal. specifically, what is the effective legalization of marijuana on roadway safety, and for the colon

state in the nation. we had three congressional 13-5, 13-5, 13-5. the supreme court finally had enough of it and changed the districts. it is now nine and nine in a state that republicans very seldom get 50% of the vote in. they also rigged local elections through the state legislature and hold a huge advantage and again in the state, they very seldom get 50% of the vote. i would like to comment on your voterest that just said id laws don't cut down on participation. this date passed a voter id law in 2012 which was later overruled unconstitutional by the state supreme court. 890he state's own figures, 5000 registered voters in the state would not have been able to vote under that legislation. the speaker of the pennsylvania house, a republican, was caught on tape gloating to his friends how they passed this law so republicans can win elections in the state. host: we will get a response. hans: those numbers were not correct and the state had a whole provision put in that provided a free id for anyone who

the state of our pay, the state of our health, and the state of our freedom unfortunately, there's not much good news. but the state of our voice, the tate of our voice is powerful. the administration saw it in november, 2017, when alabama took doug jones to washington, d.c., the senator from alabama was elected because of the support of black women. the administration saw it in november of 2018 when we took back the house and watched history made as the first and second time a woman in the house of representatives was speaker, nancy pelosi. and you know what, he hasn't figured out how to deal with that situation at all.

my answer what is the state of the union, the state of the union is fair and balanced. i don't mean that in quite the sense that her friends at fox news mean it. i think the most important fact about today versus a year ago is that the democrats took over the house of representatives and i think we've seen in the first weeks of the year in the shutdown by how important that is. i think as a go forward it's important realize not only is nancy pelosi speak about that because senate rules require 60 votes for almost everything, not judges, that chuck schumer and his alliance with nancy pelosi can kind of multiply, that's a force multiplier and that when schumer and pelosi stick together as they did in this fight, they can have quite a lot of influence not only on the outcome but also on the way the debate goes forward. we can talk more about that because i think they shutdown fight leads democrats united and republicans in much less united. and i think it's clear how democrats are going to proceed than the republicans are good we can talk about that as a good one. in terms

against the russian state. an active corruption the cost the russian state millions and millions of dollars. a campaign was launched in the united states and around the world to seek justice for mr. manton an and eventually that campaign settled upon the idea of passing laws in the united states and other countries to require that sanctions be imposed against those responsible. now, in the past when the united states imposed sanctions on human rights violators and and other countries, we had to rely on a law called the international emergency economic powers act, this allowed the president to sanction bad guys in other countries but only if he first signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency existed but, between the united states and the country were that bad guy was. if you wanted to sanction a russian citizen for killing a whistle blower, yet the sanction russia. yet to say a state of emergency was existed between the united states and the russians. and made it much more difficult for presidents

in the united states?>> i'm not talking about it. we don't prescribe anything we are doing at purdue. i will say for anybody but ourselves, i will say that sometimes we overlook the simplest things in addressing problems like this. some simple things like if you want people to have more income don't take so much of it from them or keep the cost of living down. if you don't want to have to borrow than don't charge them so much in the first place. if you make that a real target, you can make more progress than most people probably think you can. at our university, maybe the question is we are just trying to decide what's been a seven year freeze on tuition with lower housing and lowered costs can be extended another year, sooner, later we will have to do something let's make an adjustment but it will be cheaper to attend in 2020 which is year seven in nominal unadjusted dollars and it was in 2012. and so, guess what student borrowing is down dramatically because they didn't -- we didn't charge them so much t
