the states signed off on the rooting through their states. who is objecting to this except a few small or large environmental avo case organizations. susan mentioned that the oil would be exported. americans may not know that we oiled four minutes a day right now. americans don't want any idea of that. we are talking about exports on the market and that's because we are dealing with a market where oil flows to where the demand is. >> you can argue that we'll not have additional exports. the refine rice are coming up with diesel as a by-product. they are operating from keystone xl or on oil coming from the middle east. they'll be exports. >> i wanted to pick up on a point made about the opposition to the pipeline. tonight, in a few minutes, when i leave the show, i'll join a vinyling ill in front of the white house of activists gathering to ask of the president to reject the keystone xl pipeline. this is one of hundreds that have been organised over the weekend. a huge outpouring of public sentiment against the pipeline project in almost every

he calls it the "deep state." d now an american, you're about to meet in this broadcast has seized on that concept to describe the forces he says are controlling our government, no matter the party in power. but mike lofgren's no intelligence agent, although he had a top secret security clearance. he's a numbers man, a congressional staff member for 28 years with the powerful house and senate budget committees. over the years, as he crunched those numbers, he realized they didn't add up. instead, they led him to america's own deep state, where elected and unelected figures collude to protect and serve powerful vested interests. mike lofgren was so disgusted, he not only left capitol hill, he left the republican party and wrote this book, "the party is over: how republicans went crazy, democrats became useless and the middle class got shafted." now, at our request, and exclusively for billmoyers.com, he has written "anatomy of the deep state." you'll want to read it as soon as we finish this conversation. mike lofgr

and that usually means leave being the united states. so one of the real imperatives that we have to consider here strategically, is whether we value a domestic food supply. whether we value our food being produced by american farmers on american soil and delivered to homes. because without that water supply, we'll see more of our food supply outsourced. >> peter glick, we have a very short window before we have to go, and are people doing more in their homes and can they do more in the short-term? >> we can do more in every single sector, from our homes to businesses to farms. we have made great progress in improving efficiency and conservation, and we're doing more with the water we have. but there are limits. and the good news, there's the potential for far better efficient appliances and irrigation systems, but there are growing constraints, and i don't think that we fully recognize the long-term implications. >> it's great to talk to you peter, tom and dave. and that brings us to the end of this edition of "inside story." thanks for

the state of our state is charted a then on and dressed you a year ago. our job growth has outpaced the nation highlighted by a driving financial sector and technological innovation from companies large and small whether it is the parts manufactured at miller metal, the new pharmaceutical developed in insight, the software made in step one or the cutting edge fuel cells made by bloom energy. our schools are implementing higher standards while thanks to legislation passed by this general assembly we are better preparing her teachers. in the companies that will hire our students are dealing with fewer and clearer government regulations. so we have made progress, but to paraphrase will rogers, even if we are on the right track we will get run over if we just sit here. we have so much more to do. and if you have the right skills and live in the right communities good paying jobs are available. for too many people, that is not reality. everyone has something to contribute if given a chance. we need to make sure that they have that chance. as governor i paid rep

we are talking about the hue moon rights report card. secretary of state this is not some high minded exercise, this is about accountability. when it comes to accountability, as you open up the tabs and look through the various reports naturally one country that's not reported on is the united states itself. are there things that happen in 2013 that others around the world might profitably report on? and does it undermine the united states own authority in this regard. >> well that's an important question. i think technical level the state department is probably not empowered to do inside reporting because it is like a min industry of foreign affairs. but there are significant questions at home in the united states, and some of the big headlines have to do with surveillance, for example the nsa, the crack down on edward snowden is another example, when it comes to freedom at home, and the birth of whistle blowers. and then there are broader questions. police brutality, solitary confinement, the use of the death penalty. so certainly there are a lot of impo

we applaud the states who have done that. we are encouraging everyone to do what they must to find the money necessary to invest in the transportation. you're right. it's a difficult dance with state budgets and so forth. we find a lot of our colleagues that are interested in spending more on transportation. >> you made a great point about the harsh winter. when it is over and people can go a work it is to a infrastructure more seriously effected. how long does it take? mean or ten years? >> we did a recent average of seven years. >> okay. significant project. >> you mentioned the bridge in china, and the thing that impressed me was situation we had in minnesota. the bridge -- instead of the agencies have ad aer have -- adversarial -- labor worked the together. it's the attitude we can get it done and reopened. and we essentially were able to do something that was extraordinary. i think and you can be a tremendous help in this area. we do have to with the limited resources we have, you know, not discard rules, not to get aroun

treasury department became convinced that the state department was going far beyond the proper and necessary in enforcing regulations, and the treasury department turned up evidence that the state department had suppressed some of the information about the holocaust, going out of switzerland. and a man whom i had the privilege of interviewing wrote up a scathing memorandum. and morgenthaler was persuaded, he talked it down a little bit but he took the memo to the president. >> what was the title of that memo? >> report on the acquiescence of the government and the mass murder of the jews. and the president decided to take jurisdiction of way from the state department and to establish the war refugee board. >> thank you. >> you talked before about the u.s. british negotiations on a joint statement. i was one if you give us a cliff notes version of a churchill and the jews book? and how you would describe his involvement. >> i don't think i'm going to do that one from memory. sir martin gilbert and i have had some disagreements on matters of interpretation, and he has

today my report begins with a couple of updates on the state legislative, and illustrative side and we can continue the discussions over the cap and trade program with the governor identifying on the good news side, a substantial portion of cap and trade revenues targeting those for transportation uses in particular for high speed rail and other things such as the sustainable communities and strategy implementation at the regional level and we would like to see in advocating with our partners in the mtc and around the region, a larger share comes to the regions to help us implement our various plans, currently the proposal has a lot of the funds going to the growth council and so we will work with the region on that front, regarding the next item that you will see on the report, cal trans, reform there has been a trio of reports that have come out recently and all designed to take a view of what is happening at the state level and how the cal transperforming relative to the states a need in the mission set by things like the greenhouse gas climate, policy, mandates set by sb375, so we

this isn't atypical for the state dinners. dish by honoring an ingredient or plate from their county. the second course is winter garden salad. it is curious because in my recollection there is cheese on the entre so they have moved the salad to the first place and this is probably a product coming from the whitehouse garden. it looks to be, while it is called a salad, it is probably a room temperature style venl vegetable dish. and very nutritional in keeping with the mandate of a healthy and nutritional lifestyle. the dry aged beef is the next course and that is american through and through. to have the blue cheese on it is a tip of the hat to the french style but a very american blue cheese. even the spelling is the blue american spelling here. there is a blending of these great american ingredients with a french take on it. the desert is going to be great because you cannot go wrong a chocolate chocolate and vanilla ice cream. it sounds like a light, refreshing healthy menu. the dry-aged rib-eye steak is great. they have a

this is a felony in the state of wisconsin. the illegal campaign operation has already led to 15 felony convictions and three misdemeanors for six of walker's associates. how could he not know? walker has denied any involvement whatsoever in the illegal activities. in fact, he's the conservative hero. but wednesday's document dump tells a different story and it is raising big questions. ruth conniff of the progressive magazine points out walker was involved in the smallest of details of his campaign. one example shows a county staff e-mailing campaign advisers to how to respond to talk about taxes. walker personally responded and replied in this e-mail saying this is good. another e-mail shows walker telling staffers how to deal with questions about his chief of staff, tom nordeli's work history. walker wrote, even if it comes up, tom's answer would be short and pif fi. he should stop spending his time dreaming up political attacks with the service employees international union and start working on the county budget. that's walk

>> in the eyes of those states, the laws of those states, absolutely. that simply is how it is. for instance, in new england it was only a few years ago 2007 in the chambers where the question of same sex divorce came up across the border of massachusetts into rhode island. and at that time the rhode island supreme court held that rhode island was not required to recognize the marriage from massachusetts in the divorce. while i agree it is awkward in one of those things that it hams counsel do, not because of bigotry or hatred, but this drive to redefine the most fundamental institution in our country, that is the route of re problem. the people of those states have the right to governor themselves. >> fair point, patrick, if the people of a state have voted on a question, and this has come up as a ballot question in many states, and they decide not to open marriage to same-sex couples, can a judge in washington or a federal circuit say, sorry, what you're voters decided is simply invalid? >> this country has a long history of putting the rights of individuals on the ballot, and

you are a great man of the united states of america and you represent the united states of america. a country where everything is possible for who wants it. a country devoted to freedom and quality. long live the united states. long live france. long live the franco-american relationship. [ applause ] >> mr. president, this concludes the ceremony. [marching band music playing] >> one of the highest honors for a visit head of the state is a state dinner. on this day, a crisp clear morning in which the president talked about springtime in paris and winter in washington, d.c. they are hosting their seventh dinner for a special guest like this. the dinner is taking place in a tent on the south lawn. this is continuing coverage by the french president. a chance for you to join in on the conversation as the social secretary for obama and was responsible to organizing two state dinners for the president of china and mexico. our phone lines are open. those of you in the eastern and central time zone and there is the number for those of you in the mountain and pacific time zones. state dinner

the mandate under the law is to preserve history, we are the state of the archives, the state library. we document our history and biography of washingtonians who have been cheated to our history in some way. sam i think and how you but i know he was stopped on the street all the time from people that would come up to him and say, you need to write this down. and thinking about it as an office, we do have an obligation to document. and as i say, the big lessons are one of transparency. every vote does count. if anybody doubts that you can point to the 2007 governor's race in washington and say look, so we honored our mandate. we felt an obligation. these are circumstances that were so rare that, to be able to talk about the lessons learned and how we handled it, what we would be right, maybe what we would change would be invaluable to election administrators in the future. the voting systems and elections will have all changed but the timeless lessons will remain. >> for more information on booktv's recent trip to olympia, washington, and in many other cities visited by our local cont

to help as well all around the state. our exchange is known as connect, kentucky's health care connection. so why did we decide to do it? it's not something we're proud of but we're about the 44th sickest state in the country. and if that's not reason enough, then i'm not sure what is. because we all know that both education and health are such important building blocks for a state's economic development opportunities that are afforded to them. 50th in smoking. 41st in diabetes. 48th in poor mental health days. 49th in poor physical health days. 50th in cancer deaths. 49th in cardiac heart disease. 43rd in high cholesterol. 48th in heart attacks. and 44th in annual dental visits. not something that any of us in our state would be proud of. certainly not something that if you were serving as governor, secretary of the cabinet for health and human services, you would be proud of. kynect and the affordable care act provided us tremendous opportunity. really an historic opportunity to begin to take advantage of the law and tur

on the other hand, other state fared much better. for medicaid or the children's health insurance program through the exchanges. today we've gathered five people who worked closely with some of the most successful state changes to report on their experience. now, none of these exchanges were without glitches. on the other hand, many things worked. and we're going to hear about both the challenges and the success. we've asked all of our speakers o bring us up to date on the enrollment who has signed up for coverage, what outreach strategies work and which didn't work so well, and what they perceive between now and the end of open enrollment period on march 31st as well as what plans they're making for open enrollment next year which believe it or not is only nine short months away. so let me introduce our speakers now. first of all, heather howard is with us. she's the program director of the state reform assistance network that's a program funded by the robert wood johnson foundation and it's dedicated to providing technical assistanc

, the people of the state of ohio approve of the ultimate sanction. . what way could it change in >> it would change in judges, legislators have or governors of state were required to be there or required to start the procedure by hitting a button that sent these chemicals into these people they kill. >> so you maintain if people had to face the consequences of the judgments they make personally, they might not be so quick to make those judgments? >> i do make that argument, yes. >> and what -- would you want people to know about what you saw that day? maybe someone who is watching this program who considers themselves a strong supporter of the death penalty? >> the natural human inclination is to preserve life. in that room, i felt trapped. a fellow human being was dying. no matter what he had done himself, the natural inclination is to try to help him, and i was unable to. gathered with a room full of people watching this whole horrible saga unfold, and the agony with which one is forced to witness it, including his own children, and these survivors -

that issue for the state. and in a way, that's kind of hilarious, but it has also resulted since the spill in moments like this one that i'm going to show you now. this is the oil might not be a fossil fuel guy talking about what the state of north carolina should do about all of these coal ash pits that they know are leaking toxins all over the state. watch. >> their only acceptable remedy was dig them up, move them to lined landfills and cover them. >> oh, did that just get stuck? he goes on to say, their only acceptable remedy, environmentalists, dig them up, move them to lined landfills. 14 facilities and 32 coal ash ponds. i can assure you it's motnot th simple. there's science that has to go into making these determinations. there are environmental scientists who say that's the worst thing that can happen to the environment. the answer is, he says, nobody knows at this point in time. nobody knows. is oil a fossil fuel? nobody knows. is there climate change? nobody knows. should coal ash pits that are leak

credit for the state public the surplus should be shared. in reaction to the governor not calling for new taxes. he suggested a tax credit for the state's senior citizens. [applause] >> they cue for that introduction this is a fantastic forward-looking university, and we are grateful for your support as we are for hosting us in this magnificence base. less than two years ago this was a cauldron of excitement. i had a seat. i only use the edge. for me the best thing about the index was not the winning but the red, white, and blue. was this summer that patriotism came out of the shadows and came into the sun. everyone is cheering as one. i want to talk about today, our united kingdom. last year that date of the scottish referendum was fixed, the countdown set. today we have just over seven months until at about. centuries of history in the balance. a question mark hangs over the future of our united kingdom. people vote yes in september this government will become an independent country. it will be no going back. as i have made clear this is a

of the relationship between the united states and russia? u.s. officials have been very adamant that this is not a return to the cold war. and yet, when you see something like this happening, if russia has, in fact, invaded ukraine at this point it will undoubtedly just continue to create a larger gulf between the two nations. so, that is the backdrop to the president coming out to the brady press briefing room momentarily. we expect him to come out at any minute now and again, i anticipate that he will have very stern words for russia. the question is will he draw a red line? if so, what will the consequences be? those are some of the things that i will be listening quite closely for and it's also worth noting, ed, that the former president of ukraine, as you pointed out, viktor yanukovych, he has not been deposed, still the leader of that country. many within ukraine don't see it that way. so the situation continues to be volatile there and quite unpredictable and president obama will come out momentarily and address it all. >> and we have

and frankly the state should step in and really the hospital should be paying the bills the speech state required her to be kept alive the state should pay chris you've been very outspoken lea pro-life and i'm curious your take on this because they were they were trying to save the fuse so many basically pulled the plug on it became obvious that the fetus was probably not going to survive the term well you know it's interesting we sort of i wonder if i was really concerned about this case and i went back and did a little research that the language that in the texas law was borrowed from an a california law when they rewrote their end of life laws and they just put it in each other always that it was a one thousand year there in the seventy's ok that california had the law and then texas i think rewrote it in the ninety's and so they looked at what california had did they read it even the drafter said well this is not a case where that would apply because she was brain dead so even the drafters of the laws said this would not have been the case i personally think that the hospital was afr

-- by the pakistani state. should not forget the united states is backed and funded the pakistani military, and this is happening. it is happening in conjunction with these states working together, but pakistan and the united states. >> you also spoke about the increasing cycle of violence in pakistan both state violence and antistate violence. could you draw the links between what you think is the correlation -- or if there is any -- between increasing number of drone strikes and the unprecedented number of suicide bombs that occur now and pakistan, a place which never knew suicide bombs 10 years ago? >> we have to be aware of drawing simple causes. suicide bombings are happening because -- it is not a straightforward cause, but there is a linkage. there is a correlation. the suicide attacks have increased in the last decade as pakistan has been attacked by drones and participated in the war on terror. the violence in pakistan has gotten so much worse with all sorts of blast happening. certainly, the war on ter

on the longer run, if the united states were to improve their political relationship, the united states energy companies would come back and that would affect russia's current role and that might not be something the russians would favor but that is far down the road, i think. at the moment i would say this an we are working better because the sanctions are working and forcing them to the table. >> most of the talks came from the united states. >> russia didn't agree to them. >> and another area where we don't agree to put it mildly is ukraine. you could not write what is happening right now. can you talk about the most recent developments? >> sure. this turned out the way the west hoped it would. the leadership with the president and prime minister were arguing all of the time. you had a free election in 2010 and the european union was trying to entice him through this eastern partnership to sign a deep free trade agreement and sign an association agreement, which doesn't mean membership, no one is promising the ukraine the membership, but they should taylor their economy and society t

so i do see the united states as an empire. if it looks like an empire, walks like an umpire and cracks like an empire, it is an empire. this is a country which was created in the 19th century by conquering land at other people's expense. mainly native americans and indians, canadians. but it expanded to cover their conquest by taking over other people's territory. that was the way the united states continue to be saved until 1917, which is the last overseas territory in the country took over in 1917. so there is this long history of the making of this country. i don't think it detracts to admit that. you can genuinely love someone someone -- you can generative of america if you knowledge the imperfections, which are deeply attached across the united states. you've got a lot of america increases they pretend it didn't happen. >> host: and chat or three described english and cultural legacy that they left across the world. how would you compare that to the spanish clinics >> guest: in a way there's a very big analogy between engl

essence of the jewish state. [applause] and this is the progressive except for palestine mentality, but i don't understand how you can be a liberal and support a state with all your heart that practices demographic engineering and sets a threshold on the level of citizens it can have of a certain ethnic group. you referenced resolution 181 again. i think, you know, maybe there could be a solution if israel would go back to the borders afforded to it in 181, but the arab high committee rejected it for the same reason that the lakota sioux have challenged the black hills treaty. it threw their land over to a group that represented 7% of the population and fave them a majority of their land -- majority of their land. that really is the basis of the has estimatings. -- hostilities. finally, on the criticism i've been getting, the criticism from israel is much less hysterical from the time i've gotten in the u.s., and it's because they understand that these are the facts and that this is the kind of situation they're l

these are the faces of an improving economy in our state. wisconsin is going back to work. [ applause ] when i spoke about our jobs goal more than four years ago, i also made a pledge to help the people of wisconsin create 10,000 new businesses by 2015. tonight, i am proud to announce we exceeded that goal with nearly 13,000 new businesses created so far. [ applause ] this is a great sign for the future as thousands of new employers bring the potential of even more jobs. think about it, if each of these new ventures grew by 15 employees or more by next year, we would more than exceed our 250,000 jobs goal. new businesses, like 5-point fabrication in ashwaubenon and solomo technology in madison, will help us reach our goal. others are helping, too. during the past week, i visited hartford finishing in hartford to announce 94 new jobs. embedtek in hartland committed to creating up to 72 more jobs on friday. a & b process systems in stratford hired 50 more people over the past year and greenheck in schofield added 209 jobs since 2011. these are

while come the united states being denied the chance to host the two thousand and twenty four olympic games because of these sodomy books that exist and taxes in alabama and some other states as well sure i mean you know. they not be held in alabama you know because you know the united states is so big you know we have all of these different states i mean and we have very accepting states you know i don't i don't lump them in as you know this is the one question i don't have to live in the united states i live in california that's a very interesting answer if i could ask you one more question on politics i know that you describe yourself as a known political person but on the eve of sorts lympics president obama said that he has no. patience for countries discriminating against gays and lesbians and that's despite all those sodomy laws that the united states itself has on books but i wonder why do you think politicians are sought eager to join the l.g.b. cause now because you know in russia many believe that all this rhetoric is more and to russian than bt given they gan the type of d

the mt. rushmore state. the senate landscape, by the way, changed again last night, folks, with a major coup for the republicans, a big-time challenger in colorado, the republican road to six seats, just got a bit easier for the gop. we'll have more on that later in the show. >>> let's get right to my first reads of the morning and we begin out west. jan brewer ended a week-long period of speculation, public waffling last night. she vetoed a bill that would have given business owners the right to refuse to serve gays and lesbians on religious grounds. >> i call them like i see them. despite the cheers or the boos from the crowd. i've not heard one example in arizona where a business owner's religious liberty has been violated. the bill is broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences. after weighing all of the arguments, i have vetoed senate bill 1062 moments ago. >> of course, the legislation would have amended the state's version of the so-called religious freedom restoration act,

of the union, talked about it again at this year's state of the yun you know. since then, democrats have put together legislation and a legislative strategiy on this issue. for that, it helps that it polls really well. democrats love the idea of raising the minimum wage. a majority of independents like the idea, a majority of republicans like the idea. everybody likes the idea of raising the minimum wage except elected republicans. they will not allow it to come up for a vote. democrats aren't no control of the house so they can't control what comes up for a vote. the speaker has absolute power. except for this one weird tactic xavier becerra talked about today. the discharge position is weird enough and rare enough as a tactic that some people think it is a myth, but i know it is true because i have seen "legally blond 2." >> i just don't think i'm cut out for this. >> elle, we have a plan. two words for you. discharge petition. >> with a couple hundred signatures, we can spring the bill from committee straight to the house floor for a vot

every year the u.s. state department gathers intelligence and news from around the world, and gathers it into a report on human rights in all their various forms. today the report was released and criticized friend and foe alike. the state department deplored the killing of civilians in conflict zones like syria, oppressive abuse on demonstrators like iciviliansli. we look at four of our jailed colleagues by the egyptian government. >> secretary of state john kerry introduced his department's annual human rights report with an urgent message globally 2013 was a ban for human. >> all right this report, we think s especially timely. it comes on the holy spirit of one of the most momentous year years--it comes on the heels of one of the most momentous years. >> assembly and press. >> this could not be more relevant to what we're seeing trantranspired across the globe, some of the greatest security challenges in the world today are also places where their governments deny basic human. >> right the syrian governmen

with the assistant state secretary story nuland also speaking out against the government and calling for calling for a stop of violence yes i do remember john mccain speaking at the stage right behind me he was standing at the my done at the independence square saying that russia must not interfere into the domestic affairs of ukraine well many people i know he have were actually asking the same question to mr mccain what he was doing here whether he's actions was in fact a direct involvement in ukraine's internal affairs so yes indeed we see lots of lots of influence coming from the european states the united states joe was ukraine's always a situation although there has been no direct involvement so far even though that we have seen hints coming from some of the top. high profile politicians in europe that they may take some action as i've said maybe that sanctions maybe something else against ukraine's authorities if unrest and violence continue see it unbelievable it's time for state actors to stay out of it really chaotic thank you so much for being on the ground reporti

that's exactly what the united states is doing with its pivot so-called to the pacific but at the same time you have. saying that it's going to enforce its own. fly zone close to its borders which we all know that south korea did it unilaterally japan you did it unilaterally the united states it unilaterally and then everybody gets upset when the chinese start doing the same thing the u.s. certainly does feel threatened in the pacific that's why it's moving it claims to be moving so much military hardware there right by twenty twentieth's sixty five seventy percent of the u.s. navy will be will be in the pacific and it will be in the area around china around japan around korea the asia pivot is obviously a big geo strategic shift not because the us doesn't also want to dominate the oil rich middle east it does i mean we clearly see that but what's going to i think destabilize the situation the global situation will take place in asia if there is a major destabilization as happened prior to the other major wars and what we can see now clearly is the rise of japan as a desiring to get ri

first of all, any surprises from the state of the union? did you hear anything that you weren't expecting to hear? >> you know, the one thing that troubles me about it is i think he understands where jobs are creating and how he created. he mentioned that we're backing independent of foreign oil. that's despite his policy because most of the drilling has been occurring on private land and he's not been good at drilling on public land. he's been opposed to the keystone pipeline. if you listen to him carefully, he wants to raise taxes on the oil and gas industry which is about the only industry that is creating jobs right now. we need to do the opposite. i would lower taxes on the oil and gas industry so they will create more job, not raise taxes. >> i think he said he wanted to raise $4 billion in taxes in the oil and gas industry. real quickly, super bowl predictions, who do you like? seattle or denver? >> as you know, i like someone who will speak their mind and that doesn't mince their words so i have to go with richard sherman and the se

it's one of the poorest states in the u.s. and it needs jobs. they expect little will happen to those responsible for the spill, because she said st. politicians turn a blind eye away from attract jobs. >> all we have is special issue in the state. they must have an idea that they have bought a certain apound reprieve. i'm not dumb enough to doubt that that is the case. >> a lot of people are left t wh the deal flagged with water from west virginia. >> pot has been sold legally in colorado for two months. now we have numbers of how much the state is making off sales. two shops alone made more than $1 million in sales. that means tax ref any revenue. paul, break down these numbers for us. >> that's right. it's two shops in pueblo county. these are two shops that in one month sold total sales of $1 million in legal recreational marijuana. that's just two shops. since the end of january three more shops have opened up in pueblo county. shops believe over the course of a year they'll raise $700,000 in sales taxes. they raised $2,000 in january. this

we, now net migration into the united states from mexico is zero. it used to be a large positive number. we have net migration of mexicans coming into the united states. now the number is zero. that means that migration is not what is driving-- what is driving our integration. it's other things. it's supply chains, it's trade, it's even financial blows. so it's a different time. and we need technology, the trend, and to seize the opportunities created by this integration. >> rose: when president obama comes in i think the end of february. >> next week. >> rose: next week, middle of february, when he comes next week, what does mexico want to hear and want from the american president and policies that might affect mexico? >> we have a very strong and fluid relationship with the u.s. government. president obama was in mexico back in may. we had to visit from joe biden, also later in the year. and we have a lot of conversations ongoing with the u.s. government. the secretary of commerce spent the week here in the u.s., spent the week in mexico last week.

of the state addresses, and in my state of the union address, obviously, i promised that i could do what i could, as the head of the executive branch of the federal government, and i have already executive order saying that if you want to do business with the federal government as a federal contractor, then you need to be paying your employees $10.10 an hour. we do not want somebody who is washing dishes for our troops, helping in some ways to care for them to be living in poverty when they are working full-time. and what we have discovered in working with this issue is that increasingly businesses recognize that raising wages for their employees is a smart business issue because they end up having lower turnover rates, higher productivity, higher andle, folks stay longer, are more focused on their job rather than having to worry about whether or not they can pay their bills at the end of the month. this is not just good policy -- it also happens to be good politics because the truth of the matter

we need to continue to let the states be the laboratories for best practices. more than 30 states are considering or have considered increasing revenues for transportation infrastructure. over a dozen have committed and passed these increases into law. we should allow and encourage these experiments to continue. let the states be the proving ground for some of the more proposals innovative brought forward. what may work in one state may not work for all. there are other issues that need to be addressed. we need to examine the real causes of our current situation. the the last two decades, buying power of gas tax revenues has slowly declined. not only as a result of increasing maintenance and construction costs, but also as a result of increasing fuel efficiency. we need to ensure all users shoulder and equitable burden for the where and tear on our nation's roads. finally, we need to protect the integrity of the user fee. have an obligation to the users paying the fee to ensure the revenues are going to their intended purpose, namely building and maintaining our

and it made arkansas one of the few southern states to take the federal money. and that made a massive difference in a state with the tenth highest uninsured rate in the country. >> the first thing i did was go to my general practitioner and i walked in the room and she looked at me and she said, okay, we have insurance now. where do you want to start? >> but now taking a page from the ted cruz playbook, arkansas tea party republicans have decided to hold the state's entire medicaid funding bill hostage with the demand that the state retract the private option and kick 100,000 people off their insurance. and they're using a procedural quirk of the arkansas constitution to do it. though it's incredibly rare, the constitution can require a supermajority vote for funding bills which means it'd take. 75 out of 100 house votes to pass the medicaid bill. if it fails, 100,000 people will lose their private option health care. in fact, if the bill is not passed the entire medicaid program for the state will collapse on july 1st. that means kids on medicaid kicked off the

state. however, he is the on african-american in the state of california with the bridge or any structure state he will be the first in the history of california (clapping) is he alive? yes, he he is. is is deserving of this bridge. yes, he is. i need not recite the names of those who are alive and have a courthouse or street named after them but take my word the list is longer. they include former members of congress and state legislators but when this was brought up in committee it was the republican who made the motion much to the objection of the chair it was a republican making a motion to name this great bridge for the great work that willie brown is doing and has done for the people of california. it was the latest example willie brown was able to build his own bridges across political allegiance to find common ground. you don't need to be from san francisco to know this is an international icon. as people run and come from all over the world and invest this city my extraordinary state and building our community educating the next generation and carrying the eventually. as people gaze up
