the first question asked by the whiteouse policy office thatto, what can we dofied about the cline inndustrialearch and development? awas only part of the innovatioprocess,ment we asto encourageould industrial innovation?o in 1978, carter pooled e resources of two dozen major government departments to find ways to help industries to innovate. the domestic policy review eventually presented the president ñ wiñh a menu of over 30 policy options taeted at restoring flagging productivity growth. the actions i'm announcing today meet this goal. first, they will loosen some of the stifling restraints that have been placed upon innovation by government. secondly, they represent a major step toward forging a public and private partnership which will rally cooperative efforts to spur industrial growth. we seemed to face a new awareness of government's role in helping industries to be more productive. this wasn't an effort to decide what industry should be investing money in. it's not to decide what innovations were important to society. government can make that decision when it involves defense or some

eyes thatto have move. he realized the for sides of the screen were your puppet theater.e figured out you could film in real time. the other thing he figured out is if that is what matters you need to know what the camera is seeing at all times. we put a monitor on the floor so we can always watch it in real time. they still perform this way on sesame street. if you are watching the performers they are never looking at the puppet. they are always looking down at the monitor. it makes perfect sense, but no one thought of that before. tavis: i was flipping channels and came across the movie ted with the talking -- >> teddy bear. tavis: the movie was a huge hit obviously in part because ted was so crass. in may me think about jim henson he has become iconic the world over for muppets that were funny but also had something to say. a world wheren crass cells, but that's not the route he decided to go. sells, but that's not the route he decided to go. >> he had sweet spot between the .haos of looney tunes cartoons there was never anything mean-spirited about the muppets. they w

him thatto give opportunity. i think you will have it come january. >> you were dismissive of the id'sident and senator reed's suggestion that we should extend unemployment benefits. they have set up some issues to keep the senate. what do you make of the plan? you do you think there is any common ground with republicans? >> the president is not serious about tackling problems. he is up this on dividing the country so he can win elections. they are very divisive issues in this country. they are not issues that unite our country. he promised it would be a different kind of president that when you night -- would unite. dividingigned to war america down the middle. that is not the kind of america they want to embrace. if you look at the bills we are talking about bringing forward, many of these other bills that are leadership brought to the house floor. our country. you can see that there are a vote.tisan bil if you are serious he would be picking issues that unite us. not talking about unemployment benefits. the be

where i would go with recognize thatto sometimes people don't think things through fully.help in use a little the form of information, say, about what happens if they don't pay off their credit card bill. in the form oflp some default rule, as it is called, that establishes what happens if you do nothing. it might mean that you are automatically enrolled in a retirement plan, as many companies are doing. warnings can be very valuable. these forms of paternalism that i would endorse all preserve freedom of choice. they do not eliminate freedom of choice. they are soft or weak forms of paternalism. they don't mandate or coerce or imprisoned or fine. what i think is extremely promising, actually exciting, and we are seeing it all over the world, is the recognition that there are tools we have that fully preserve and respect liberty but that also can help people do better, including live longer, by their own lives. the forms of paternalism i would endorse do not say that the government gets to substitute people's own values. it has to respect them. >> i'm going to read a parag

i think i saw the tip of the iceberg and do think there is thatto this end am happy other journalists it. >> chief security officer for block chain called goodman story to responsible journalism. tom keene acquitted the journalism to connect the dots journalism. i am joined by alex waters of the new york tech incubator that focuses on developing pickling technology. you helped write the source code and the real alex waters. what do you think about this? aboutms fairly clueless bitcoin, but maybe that is a ploy. >> i think there are two possible scenarios. heher he is the creator or is not. >> he is but did not change his name and went through a lot of other painstaking encryption efforts to try to remain anonymous. wouldis unusual that this be him. ultimately i do not think it matters. i think for bitcoin as a technology, the creator or face behind it i do not think matters. we look at the internet and we talk about mintz surf but ultimately -- don't.we >> and technological circles we do. ultimately it does not matter. the internet is a beautiful technology and lives on its own. on to

ensuring we have a secure for thatto provide political transition. the first time there will have been a peaceful transition from one elected leader in afghanistan to another. theeful is in the eyes of beholder. in the context of a constitutional process that is recognizable, this is important. months withng respect to a runoff and with respect to the time necessary to the the government after runoff, we have some big political events >> right now, i think very clearly and correctly there is enormous uncertainty about the future of afghanistan. one of the reasons for that uncertainty has been that we have been unable to announce a specific commitment in terms of the pursed .14. ost 2014 period. the idea is creating an upward spiral of professional capability. it is been essential. that would take the form of both in terms of the resources necessary for that commitment, people of course and the equipment and funding, but also the time. that ensures that the post tony 14 mission is resourced in terms the amount of time necessary to truly give the afgha

belief thatto be a i think i share that the rules don't apply to the government at all. and that people, if a rule of law that might apply to how the data are used, will not result in any real punishments of people who abuse the rules. is there a shortcoming that the roles of use are not going to be effective at all unless there is true enforcement of the rules? class actionsout for breaches and failures to disclose but it seems that those are gnats compared to the governmental problem. how do people feel about that? >> ed? [laughter] >> let me address that a little bit. there are several ways to look at this. rules arer that different for government. if we learned anything from what we have learned about the actions of the government and legal opinions that have been declassified about the scope of government eavesdropping authority, is that the rules are very different. if that's the case, then we need to be thinking about oversight and how to make an oversight process work. actions ofe that the governments, even if they are legal, are within the scope of what is good

imagine one man of taking the risk of millions of dollars in fines to show it to stand behind sure thatto make things happen. with that, i yield the floor. >> madame president. >> the senator from missouri. >> i want to talk about the same topic my good friend from oklahoma has brought up. i was at the supreme court listening to the arguments on this case. civilians versus hobby lobby -- lobby.s vs. hobby this case starts with the and whate care act many people and i believe the supreme court will decide is really a blatant violation and religious redemption a way that act would be applied. there is nothing in the act that deals with the rule that sets those big fines or stylish is how those fines would be collected or in fact, nothing in specifies specific things that have to be in the so-called model plan. that all is up to the to thetration, all up department of hhs unless the court or the congress does what needs to be done, which is to say there are certain boundaries that you cannot cross. act,ffordable health care the so-called affordable health care act that seems to be providing

do you believe thatto russia's intent on reconstituting its empire? >> i think as i said earlier, i don't really want to speculate about why russia is doing what it is doing because honestly we don't know and i think what we have to judge simply what is russia doing? what wey ru see russia doing ist has caused so much concern and that is intervention on the territory of another sovereign state through military force and other coercive means. >> my time is limited. which they have done prior. i think we learn from history they invaded georgia. and then, they continued to occupy georgia. i think that is very instructive as to the ukraine experience today. in fact, crimea just voted to join russia. it was announced today. i'm concerned that the same thing that happened in russia will now happen in, happened in georgia will happen in ukraine and i don't know if these sanctions will stop that. that is my biggest concern. when one nation invades a sovereignty of another we usually, definitions are important. we usually define that as act of war. does this a
