we've seen earlier this year but the location is important we're here right in front of the national rifle association which they blame for buying off politicians. across a police barricade and are a supporters say it's people not guns that are the problem they don't want any restrictions on their ability to carry such weapons. if someone who doesn't follow the law because we cannot face the criminals don't call the law comes out and decides to hurt me or anyone else in the group i want to have adequate protection to help those kind of people guns are the great equalizer it's you know if i'm up against a two hundred fifty pound man i cannot physically defend myself without some form of you know self-defense weapon. but showing up wearing guns is horrifying for students who have seen their classmates gunned down before their eyes i'm not saying you know take away all their guns but i'm like you right there are disregarding like the laws that everyone who's like lost their lives in america to gun violence and life is just like disrespectful. walking all over was a student who died in the mass shooting a

i wanted to start off by talking about the representation of the national association of area agencies on aging aging, the meeting in july in chicago. we were fortunate to have 11 people there, people from the management team as well as people from the planning team representing which was great. it was really nice to be able to spread out and go to different workshops and bring back different information back to our team. one of the things that we heard there that we continue to hear is that there is a lot of concern about what will happen in the federal budget in the next year. there's a lot of conversation about cutting the services that we work very hard to protect and we worry about a lot. there's also a lot of talk about the older americans act reauthorization and what the strategy around that should be with respect to getting it reauthorized. before those of you -- for those of you who are on the commission, you can remember that the act was just reauthorized a few years ago. it is already up again if i thought reauthorization. and it is really hard to think of it strategically w

congress that wanted more political discretion but also a major radio broadcasters formini the national association in 192g immediately passed a resolutionn to say we want public standards. fo have a license not just to compete and play fair to obey antitrust laws, we want the actual exclusion of those companies that do not meet the public or those that have market share and be but then they did l have an advantage over the smaller and competing voices soi we noticed immediately in the thte 20s after the 27 radio act 27 radio act that stations who have a point of view areingo squelched in the licensing aocess by theheregulators. regy they said to the station in chicago owned by chicago-wing federation of labor they aree very upfront actually they haves cut back in their hours and constrained and threatened as a propaganda station regulatory language from u.s. government telling a point of vi ewview. the the airwaves are for everybody. the big general broad and thosee are squelched in the radio broadcasting world from the 40s 40s and 50s to broadcast in tv and even in the 60s with cable-television c

have marched on the headquarters of the powerful lobby group the national rifle association calling for tighter legislation on firearms rob reynolds is at the protest in fairfax virginia. a large group of people have gathered outside the headquarters of the national rifle association in suburban washington they are demanding changes in the nation's gun laws and here you can see that on the ground here are photographs of some of the people who have recently died as a result of gun violence this of course adding a great emotional punch to this event there are also a number of people here are issuing or stressing their support for the n.r.a. and disputing with some of the members of the crowd but the police have kept them at quite a distance from the main crowd so it's been an entirely peaceful event this is an outgrowth of the march for our lives movement that began after the slayings at marjorie stoneman douglas high school in florida earlier this year students from that group are supporting this rally they've also been traveling around the country in a bus caravan trying to get people o

affordability fell to the weakest level in a decadest thi pring according to the national associationhomebuilders and that was thanks to higher home prices and higher mortgage rates and just 57% of the homes sold were affordabl to americans making the median income. that's down from nearl62% in the first three months of this year. well, that is national picture in some markets,ishe situation orse. most of the least affordable markets are in pricey california, but in boston, seattle, miami, poland, oregon and reno less than 40% of the residents ming the median income can afford the me an-priced home. >> when i want to buy in the neighborhood i can't afford. >> you can enter the lottery and that's the only way i can see myself buyg within the city. >> affordability is likely behind a drop in housing sentiment among consumers. a new report from fannie maes showewer americans think n is a time to buy or sell a home. fewer said they fell sure of keeping their job in the coming year. for millennials, that means waiting. >> what they're telling us is we have to have a good job. that jas to h

opposition to me being the candidate, some of the people that were funding it had come from the national association of manufacturers. effectively, they were funding a dairy farmer over a manufacturing guy. i was like, why would that make sense? do should at least meet me. the super -- at the superficial level, we know these guys like you, so therefore we don't like you. unfortunately, that is a really petty thing. it's reinforced one of the views that i have seen as a lot of people who do not mature past and ninth grade.

seem like a surprise given the large price increases we've seen over the past four years the national association of realtors said that since two thousand and sixteen median price of homes increased by seven percent and the buying bustle had risen close to twenty percent from about this time last year through may what is it with home sales and why is buying activity suddenly taken a turn downward. well home prices as you as you said have gone consistently for the past ten years and recently they have gone up much faster than salaries and now we have interest rate hikes which is affecting things even more so fewer people can afford to buy while prices are going up but there's just not enough homes out there for people to buy so even for those who could qualify for a loan they go out they make multiple offers they don't get the deal and maybe start to give up so what we needed more than anything is for builders to be able to provide affordable housing that meets the today's salaries at least the average income and builders are having a really hard time doing that because of rising builder costs lab

this and they create for themselves ,omething called the ata american teachers association, the counterpart to what you now know as the nea, national education association. they are excluded from the nea, so they make their own, the american teachers association. they also create something called the association. i got corrected on that. i am not quite sure what they are trying to say with that, but they emphasize the a-s-s part whenever they talk about it. there, there is a story but no one ever told me the story. the association is the black counterpart to the southern association, the same one that accredits emory now and others tools -- other schools. with the association and ata, you see an exchange of black people and ideas. they are talking about, what are white graduate schools doing, one of the policies? how can we get into black schools the information that we need? you see the cross-fertilization of ideas going back and forth at national meetings. interestingly, when you go into every southern state, every one of the 14 southern states, you see an organizational structure that looks like what i have written on the left.

senate that wanted more regulation, but also the major radio broadcasters literally informing the national association of broadcasters, in 1925, they immediately passed a resolution, saying we want a public interest standard to have a license. not we are going to compete and play fair and obey the antitrust laws, we want to know actual exclusion of those companies that do not meet the public interest test. and of course, major companies with lots of market share, big, wide audiences and controversial programming, -- uncontroversial program ming, we thought they had an advantage. latee noticed in the 1920's, after the 1927 radio act , that stations that have a point of view are squelched in the licensing process by the oegulators, and they say to wcf in chicago, which is owned by national federation of labor, they are up front about it. they are cutting back their hours and can trained and andened -- constrained threatened as a propaganda station. this is the u.s. government telling us point of view, no. the airwaves are for everybody. the big, a homogenous, corporate broadcast view. of voices, left an
