systems. i.t. security is continually reported as a material weakness in our consolidated financial statement audits. v.a. has a high number of legacy systems needing replacement. moreover, after years of effort of replacement of legacy's scheduling software, a new scheduling system is still not in place. v.a.'s issues with scheduling software are related to its inability to define requireme requirements, if a commercial solution is available or if it must design a system. replacing systems has been a major problem cross the government and not unique to v.a. we issued a number of reports outlining access issues and our work in this area is continuing. one prevailing theme of the work related to wait times and scheduling issues were i inadequate lack of to provide training for v.a. staff for scheduling appointments. we conducted extensive work for wait time manipulation through 2015 and '16 after the allegations at the phoenix healthcare system surfaced in 2014. as we reported in more than 90 admini

but there's no systemic analysis, no systemic recognition. what else about this system is bizarre? well, one of the results of the shaping of consciousness is the following kind of really strange idea. it goes like this: if you give corporations a chance to make profits, then good things will happen. so, for example, we have to create a profitable business climate because then businesses, say by cutting their taxes or by deregulating thth or by allllowing them to do all kinds of t things, then good things will happen to the rest of us. there's a simple logical problem here. if you cut the taxes of business, then they have m more money because their taxes are lower. what they do with that money is their decision. and their decision is governed by making as much money as possible. that might mean that they will create a a job, ok, but not h here. in a place where the wages are much lower--say, in asia--which might be nice for them but isn't particularly good h here. or they might lend it to a gogovernment or theyey mighthy the stock market. or they might do--i don't know-- let's see.

my friends, that kind of system is unsustainable and it must change. [applause] secondly, every day we encounter a system that is tilted towards treating illness and sickness, not health. you and i are caught up in a system that tends toward sick care, not healthcare. and as things currently stand, the third-party pay system rewards healthcare providers for treating your illness, not partnering with you to increase your overall health. to be fair, positions are also affronted by this sick care mentality. this isn't why they went to medical school and there are certainly honorable physicians who have bravely left the system as it now stands but the sick care model largely persists. unless but top-down centralized third-party dependent model is replaced with a system that respects our choices as customers, few things will change. and this shift must begin with our recognition that no matter the convictions or good intentions of legislators, government is incapable of delivering the healthcare solution our nation so desperately needs.

broad concept of moving our legal immigration system towards a merit-based system as opposed to the unlimited chain migration and a needless diversity lottery. in close contact with various members of his staff as well. historically high levels of immigration in this country. it is been over 100 years since we have been at the same level of foreign-born persons as a percentage of our country. they goes to show that we have reached historically high levels . of course that has had a negative effect on blue-collar wages. all we are trying to do is return back to historic levels which would still be one of the most generous and open immigration systems in the world. partt me answer the second of the question. our birth weight in america is below average for the last 20 years and there are two years -- two ways that you grow the economy, population growth and productivity growth. merit-based candidates come in, that is a problem. that is what we're trying to address in this bill. reporter: following up on the conversation with the president, have you gotten any sense from about it there's concern

big school systems, rural school systems, and i want to think david's work for his work in texas, also poverty, also the opportunity and families. the fact we often forget and thank professor robinson fo fore work particularly in the role of scholarship, arcane ideas about the law and making it readily available for people. and thank you for your book. without thank all of you and ask you to give our panelists round of applause.

to the system.e executive, which otherwise could be quite formidable, is checked. one, to the legislator process, not so much going on there now. second, through the press. you see with respect to the press and civil society that there's already an organised effort to undermine the legitimacy of the press as a watchdog and a cheque, and the third is thejudiciary. and you can see at least in this initial burst of statements from president trump that he is focused on the same way he is with respect to the press, in undermining the legitimacy of the judiciary as a check on executive power. now it's only been a month. maybe things will settle and we returned to a more normal equilibrium in our system but based on this first month i think you really have to be concerned. donald verrilli, we have to end there, but thank you for being on hardtalk. thank you. i enjoyed it. thank you very much indeed. if the truth were known, i could have put up any variety of globes you might have liked to try to describe j

work itthe nsc system must be used. one of the mistakes made in the iran initiative was to ignore the process. there's a better opportunity for success if there is an orderly process of decision-making. the president is the ultimate decision-maker in national security. we can not long into her exercise of executive power by committee. the strong executive with the ability to conduct strong and administrative affairs -- conduct strong foreign affairs is essential. those advisors on national security issues have a strong responsibility. the advisors must assure that the president gets the best counsel possible. the president may not follow their advice but the advisors have a clear responsibility to continue to bring to his attention matters that are evenct and -- pertinent after the decision is made. our report follows of these principles. taken as a whole, they follow as a guide to sound management. the board went to considerable links to obtain the facts about iran-contra. to the extent we obtain them, they are in appe

we have a majority rule system of laws in the united states. you have a whole bunch of people, you get a whole bunch of lawmakers together with different ideas of what the law should be. then they get the majority to bring these law through congress and the next the other majorities to overcome filibusters. even to get a law properly implemented in the bureaucracy would require a broad consensus. that means that legislators are often in positions where they have to be supportive of bills that don't necessarily reflect ideally what the legislator wants to do. but a legislator is going to need support not just from his or her colleagues but also from their home only constituency and other interests that they are beholden to. and they're going to look to the lobbyists that they have relationships with to survive that. lobbyists may also come under pressure to support positions on issues that tend to reflect the priorities of legislators they have relationships with more so then supporting the positions of the people, interest groups or corporation

the metro system. metrorail is losing money hand over fist, safety problems, lack of proper maintenance. they never established a reserve fund for replacement of capital items such as trains, electrical systems. now we're facing billions just to rehab the present system. wamada estimates it needs between $18 billion and $25 billion over the next ten years. of course they have wishes to expand the system. what role -- i believe mr. edwards had an article suggesting privatization, comparing washington to hong kong. i think that was your article. so the question is what role should the federal government take with respect to metro? at the board meeting yesterday, they explained that whereas they had been hugely successful in ridership on the inauguration and with the women's rally, they actually lose money on such events. so what role do you -- and 40% of the ridership on metro is federal work eaers. so what role, if any, do you see with federal support on the operations side, and what potential for priva

so under this system, mr. president, understand this, please, a teacher had a strong incentive to ignore all the students at the top. who are already going to meet proficiency, no matter what you did to that kid, that kid was going to beat proficiency in the no child left behind test at the end of the year. and an incentive to ignore all the kids at the bottom because no matter what you did, that kid would not reach, that student wouldn't reach proficiency. the only thing, or one of the only things i liked about no child left behind was the name. and we were leaving behind the kids at the top and the kids at the bottom because of proficiency, the insistence on proficiency. i can't understand -- i can't overstate how central this issue is to education. and i can't tell you how important it is to educators across america. if you talk to any state education secretary, any district superintendent, any local school board member, any principal, any classroom teacher and parents, they will have an opinion on measurin

and made the system stronger. but not without a lot of expense to taxpayers and a lot of time and energy from state employees. since that cyberattack in 2014, my state has taken a number of steps to address system deficiencies and increase our i.t. security posture. i initiated an audit that uncovered numerous structural security gaps. and then as governor, i issued an executive order to unify responsibility and upgrade oregon's capabilities. and this legislative session, which we're currently in, i'm supporting legislation to establish a cybersecurity center of excellence. it will develop a statewide cybersecurity strategy, share information between the public and the private sectors, coordinate incidents response, identify best practices and encourage development of a cybersecurity workforce. and governor mcauliffe, we're really excited about getting some of those good paying jobs you got in virginia to oregon as well. i think we can do this by bringing together companies in oregon like intel and hewlett-packard

we do have one system offshore. the next system will brush us on saturday and another one on sunday is a better opportunity to give us some rain. not a lot. 50s on the temps.>>> good morning steve. we are looking at a commute that will be busy and some areas. just on the last little traffic update i gave you, now the traffic has cleared up on the richmond bridge eastbound. the traffic getting to the bridge from the east bay looks good. just a few minutes ago i showed you a slow down right here. i was all set to show you, look at all the slow traffic. when good things happen on the commute we do not ask any more questions. it looks good, let's just go with it. traffic is moving along okay on westbound bay bridge. that is backed up from the meins media ring lights are on. no trouble on the upper deck of the bay bridge. it's a nice-looking drive when she made on to the span. the traffic continues to look good. let me see if i can bring up a map here. 80 westbound, if you're driving on 80 from vallejo into hercules it's

what are in that system.hat are you doing to take the nonactive records so they are not online in the success of all from hacking? have you made any adjustments there? >> it to be honest, i don't know. i know we have done a tremendous amount of securing the systems. i'm comfortable that we have both of barriers on the front-end and the ability to fight an active shooter online on the network should it appear. i don't believe we have taken the a tremendous amount of put it off line. it needs to be accessible for any future work we do. >> to a degree. i mean somebody retired in 1991 and then all of a sudden we have a hack into thousand 14. it does beg the question, why is that system. >> the new system will have tiered storage on it both in terms on what is live and it will taken to consider some of these things. if you're off-line for a while that will go into a different storage system and all be harder to access. >> it seems like one of the lessons we should of learned was for the nonactive employees. again,

are all pay for performance, you have the evaluation system to go with the pay system which can be a win-win situation. >> okay. great. >> you said it correctly at the beginning when you said that we have a 20th or maybe 19th century, you nknow workforce structure nor 21st century missions. and so the senior executive association is fully engaged and ready to work with you and anybody else, to get modernization of the workforce. we are supportive of the new beginnings, but we would like to see a wholesale top to bottom review of the general schedule, and also frankly of the senior executive service. what is the current role in and purpose within the federal government to today. >> let me throw out the unfair question to you. how long does new beginnings need to be out there to get a good feel for what is working and not working before it transitions into the gsa. is that five years or three years or other demonstration programs out there much longer? here is what i hear and whew i bring it up. people consistently saying that we need to address the gs system, and then right behind it

is the system that works. i sit in my testimony is -- i for in my testimony, -- $65.95 they can find out if i was right or not. a prosecutor said to me you've got that all wrong. because a capital case is a huge for a prosecutor, and the last thing he or she needs is to say a couple of years later you are wrong. they would rather the innocent person be executed rather than have that in the personnel file. all of these things are part of a system that needs to be reformed so that the incentivize justice changed so that can be put back into the criminal justice system. >> any good prosecutor, and there are some good ones, wants to seek justice, not conviction. robert h jackson gave a beautiful inspired speech called the federal prosecutor. you can read it in its entirety. he and the supreme court have said that the united states, the job of the united states attorney is to seek justice, not convictions. means a guilty person goes free. when you wrongfully commit somebody you have committed multiple crimes. not o

it does not look like the system is going to phase with a warmer system. if it did we would have widespread rain. 30s for manny, 32 rent -- berkeley is at 37. 32 santa clara. 30 and scotts valley. boulder creek at 31. 30s for the valley including bakersfield. many of you heading off to spring training right now. it's clear but cold45 in phoenix and 36 in tucson. flagstaff 16, the system i'm talking about is out here. it looks like it will stay offshore. maybe a better opportunity for rain on the coast on saturday. there is not a lot here. it's cold this morning. it will stay on the cool side even with the sunshine. a colder system drops in. sunday it looks like a better opportunity. the rainfall protection i'm using the euro model. it's a little wetter than the gfs. a third of an inch in santa rosa and san jose. maybe some low snow levels. watch how the system stays offshore. there is still some up here on saturday. especially to the north. we clear out sunday and bring the next impulse down sunday afternoon and sunday night into early monday. that could g

but i think instead of trying to make that system better we ended that system and went back to the gs system, which is very old and does not lend itself to recognize our good employees and be able to adjust within that system for hiring practices. so i think -- i don't know that i can put a time frame on it, but i do think that we need to make sure that we are looking at the system and making sure that we've utilized all of the opportunity for a new system before we just say it's not going to work. >> okay. there's a tremendous amount we can still talk about. as i mentioned before, several of you put things in your written testimony that we never even got to today. those are a part of the record. they're not being ignored. again, we could be here a very long time talking through those issues. i do appreciate both your written statements, your oral statements, and the conversation we can have. if we can multiply this type of conversation and multiple other places, it would certainly be helpful. we look forward to working with mick mulvaney and with new omb and opm leadership to be able

it's a government-run system. what we're proposing is a patient-centered system where the patient is the -- designs their plans. the patient gets to decide what they do. the nucleus is the patient and the doctor versus the nucleus of the system being the government in obamacare's sake. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i know that you heard from secretary price this morning. i was wondering if there are any areas where you think the white house could improve communications with capitol hill? speaker ryan: i should know. we're doing really well on that front. i don't know what you guys report, but we talk with the white house daily. our teams -- our house and senate teams are in conference -- are in consultations with the white house constantly. we're very excited tom price is over there. tom price was one of the primary architects of our obamacare replacement plan that we rolled out last year. and now he is the secretary of h.h.s. to execute and implement that plan. so we're very pleased with that. i think we have fantas

people tend to forget with the national security office system system,bout, the nse the council itself, the staff and in the national security adviser is the president's preacher. the president is accountable to the american people for its excesses and its failures -- successes and its failures but it is not just another agency. it is not intended to be subject to the reach of congress. it is the president's own instrument. it is through this system that he brings his creative impulses in national security to bear on the permanent government, the departments and agencies. it is one of the few structures in government that is unequivocably his. the national security act recognized this by giving the president wide latitude to fashion it to his liking. each president has done so with the result that over the years there have been many different operational styles, many different operational organizational modes for the staff and the national security advisor. given its role, there is no ideal structure for the system. it should be sufficiently flexible to be adaptable to the management s

we would probably look at our off system bridge systems. we want to make sure we have safe bridges for school buses, emergency services, fire departments. we want to make sure those routes are brought up to standards and yes, we could do that pretty quick. we have engineering on several bridges, we just don't have the funding. we have shovel-ready projects ready to go. thank you. >> sir. my perspective is different, i'm not a highway transportation expert. the scenario you present is very dizzying so i'll be dizzy. >> i know. >> if we did, i think first of all the very first thing we need as a nation is a better informed discussion as to how we invest in a decadal sense. we're doing investments i think in short term very much. i hate to say it, i was an elected official in delaware in a small town, we tend to make decisions in a two, four, six year kind of timeframe. we went to decadal planning. understanding where the trends are, where the vulnerabilities are. if we did a better job of that, we would know how to utilize the funds available

the system dropping down the coast. never crossing into the bay area but driving down off the coast of southern california. next up another cold system dropping down the coast that will have a little extra moisture and track inland over the bay area because it is a colder system. the good news, we're not expecting a lot of rain. the update most places picking up less than a quarter inch of rain .25. a far cry from what we saw earlier in the week. some spots may see a dusting of snow down to 3,000 feet. we'll let you the know when to expect the rain to arrive coming up at about 11:17. >> a harrowing ordeal. a woman trapped in the middle of a rushing creek. she was there all night. take a look at video from sonoma county just before midnight. a 67-year-old driver lost control of her suv. it plunged into the middle of a creek. miraculously it landed right side up. the creek was flowing so fast she couldn't get out. her cell phone had no service. she remained stuck inside for eight hours till someone spotted her car this mo

would flult disability recipients being reported to the national instant criminal background check system as ineligible to own a firearm. and, thus, have their second amendment rights violated. now, this is essentially a national ban gun -- gun ban list. the agency accomplishes this by doing two things; determining if a person has a disorder on a vague, quote-unquote, mental disorder list and, two, appointing a representative payee to manage benefit payments. thises process has been in place -- this process has been in place for years to merely assign a representative payee. that's merely someone who help the recipient with their finances who is authorized to deal with the bureaucracy on the behalf of that social security recipient. now it is being used to report beneficiaries to a list so thato they cannot buy or own a gun. and, of course, once on that list, individuals ar prohibited -- as i've already inferred -- from purchasing, owning and possessing firearms. thus, violating second amendment rights. the regulation is flawed beyond any kind of repair. it results in reporting people to

upwards of two inches with that system. so as we look at the day today, we're dry and for the most part a shower and then by 5:00, the rain is knocking on the door of the north bay. by 7:00, it continues right on through the evening hours. a few breaks. we'll still have showers into monday. that's a 1 on the storm impact scale. as we go through monday night, this is when the rain begins to pick up again. it's 4:00, 5:00, evening commute is a mess monday night. the amount of system ams to two-tenths around san jose. north bay, santa cruz mountains that could pick up an inch and then we added a up what is going to happen monday night into tuesday. that's when we're looking at totals of 2.5 inches to about 4 inches and then 3.10. on tuesday, it's a 2 on the storm impact scale. after that, things do look brighter. 59 in oakland. 63 in san jose. the accuweather forecast, the rain tonight and leftover showers on monday on and off. the rain picks up monday night into tuesday and then stays with us all day and storm system shifts i

you can see the systems rotating in. system yesterday went down to southern california cal. there is the system today and into tonight. then it'll start to decrease. a break into saturday afternoon and then the next system on sunday night into monday. that one looks to be moderate to heavy. we have a way to go here after tuesday there may be a sign of a break or two. you can see through some areas five and a quarter sacramento. 5.66yukia. 4.31 for santa rosa. if you are in areas such as santa cruz mountains, russian river, marin or the mother lode you can probably double those amounts. 50s, 60s and a day of rain. rain and wind. get the morning rain and then a break off and on. maybe a bit of rain and then heavy rain monday into early tuesday. >> and the sierra. are they getting pounded too? >> snow level will go way up. 7,000 and then it'll come down about 6,000. >> we were just talking aboutt. a get away weekend for a lot of people. >> i think you are toast on monday. getting out. >> getting out. >> you may want to head out sunday. >> or just hang on. >> i would do the hang

someone getting into your system. as opposed to something we call cyber fraud, which is someone uses the internet to commit fraud. i met you, youce seem like a great guy. can you send me a couple hundred dollars for my trip next week? that is cyber fraud, when someone uses the committee -- the computer to commit fraud. we are talking about technical instances that have an impact on your operations as a state. whether it is disruption of information, service, or corruption of data. when those occur, the differences between those types of events and things you are used to dealing with as crises as governor, is its speed. they happen faster than anything you have ever dealt with before. the second thing is, they will be incomplete and inaccurate information coming to you. the reason for that, it takes a while to figure out what the technical issue is. is it nefarious? is it non-nefarious? you will still be required to make those business decisions, do the press conferences. the more that you can prepare and practice thos

instead of through the system. if congress would do its job to fix immigration and allowing that align our system with the economic needs, people would be able to come through the system. they would have the option and choice to be united with family workers that came through the current immigration system. the system does not allow that to happen right now. it is our own schizophrenia about needing workers for not wanting to conform our laws in a way that allows them to come legally that causes the problem we are in now. we we are in that situation, have 11 million people in united states, 70% have been here longer than 10 years. they have deep roots in communities. you want to know who the undocumented population is? they are sitting in your church or synagogue right next to you, working right next to you. these are folks we know and most of us understand and respect. before we rip them out of their -- away from their families because our laws are broken, it seems to me we owe it to ourselves and them to fix our
