it was probably no accident that the auburn system began to displace the philadelphia system as a model prison at the very moment in the 19th century that the factory had begun to replace there it is and all -- the artisanal workshop as the main site of industrial mechanical production in the united states. nevertheless, this innovation was most certainly touted at the time as a reform of the existing solitary system in philadelphia, whether because of its allegedly more salutary effects on the prisoners or more productive capacity in the manufacturing sector, however, it's hard to say. whatever the original intentions of the auburn system, these two were soon overcome by the desire for profit. as congregant labor wedded with penal discipline created a system efficient enough to be out to the highest bidder. essentially all of the commodities of a growing industrial and consumer economy in the 19th century. much the way goat cheese and farm raised to lap you are today -- and tilapia are today in prison systems. this system of the prison factory unfortunately does seem sometimes to be re

in essence, the auburn system turned the prison into a factory. it was probably no accident auburn systeme began to displace the philadelphia system as the model prison at the very moment in the 19th century that the factory had begun to replace the art is all workshop as the main site of industrial production. this innovation was most certainly touted at the time as a reform of the existing solitary system in philadelphia, whether because of its allegedly more salutary effect on the prisoners. it is hard to say. whatever the originally been assistant attentions were of the auburn -- that assistant intentions were of the auburn system -- produced a work program efficient enough to be leased out to the highest that are. bidder.r -- they produced clothing, carpets, homes, furnaces, furniture, even rifles. essentially all of the commodities of a growing industrial and consumer economy in the 19th century, much the way goat cheese and farm raised to let be a part -- tilapia are today. this system of the prison factory does seem somehow to be regarded t

the criminal justice system is not a system, but it's things thrown together. and people don't think of the costs in one component and how it will affect the other components of the system. >> let me jump in, because we invited judicial correction services to join us on the program today. and they declined the opportunity but sent us a statement. they said the contractual relationship and the services that we provide on the behalf of clients is a public record, and we contract with the services for collecting fines and enforcing probationary requirements by the court. and sarah, just saying look, we just do what the local government asks us to do, and we collect our money as a fee for service. fair? >> what we see is that detector's prisons really proliferate when courts allow private companies to prioritize their goal of making money over the goal of public safety. and this is a problem that's happening across our country, and what's happening as a result of that is that it's really undermining the confidence, the public confidence in our court system. and i th

is the president who governs the political system. a russian political analyst in an interview this summer said there's a new group in the different networks at the top it's not a new group, but a reformulated group that has this idea we're not a mafia, we're a hunta. what did that mean? his basic point is that some of the networks around putin for quite a while had been obsessed with lining their own pockets. but there's another group around putin who are true patriots as a great power. and those are the people who are coming to prominence now in this post-ukraine environment. okay? so he's attacking certain actors around putin and saying there's a group of loyaltists that have russia's true interests at heart. and he refers to the decision in february 2014 to annex crimea as a coup. and his logic is it's a coup because there is overnight a huge shift in the balance of power among the elite. that the pro-western, more economically oriented elites lost a lot of power instantaneously. the people who have background in the power ministri

until the end of the system. temperatures as i mentioned single digits up north. mid 20's in southern spots. cold start to the day out there. one of the colder mornings that we've had. through the afternoon, temperatures up in to the 30's. there's the moderating trend. it takes a light wind tomorrow and a southwesterly wind as the system starts to move in on wednesday to get back in to the low to mid 40's. today a lot of areas shy of 40. nashua and salem touching 40 briefly. folks up in to the 30's today after a cold start to the afternoon. you can see how future cast hints at at least anywhere from boston south the chance of a couple of flurries coming on shore with the on shore flow. for us, it will be clouds and mixing with sunshine through the afternoon before going partly cloudy to mostly clear later on tonight. start, sunshine tomorrow adding clouds through the day. maybe a couple of showers in western and northern areas. as you'll notice, the shower activity cop continues to come at us. still a couple more

in terms of reform of the criminal justice system. i think suggestions of body cameras on police are ideal. i think it's crucial that police and prosecutors who are conducting a lineup or a photo id, they should not know who the suspect is. because if they know who the suspect is, they're going to nudge and push the witness and direct them toward that individual. so we need to have blind photo id's which are much less in my view subject to manipulation. the suggestion that we have open files. we should move in the direction of prosecutorial open files and i think the idea of videotaping and interrogations is something that should be discussed as well. i don't think these are constitutional values but they're the kind of values that ought to be brought up in the states and discussed among individual trial judges and they're the kind of things that may lead to some useful reforms. once we see how they work out. in different jurisdictions. i don't want to constitutionalize them too much. but i want there to be dialogue and experimentation

he governed the political system. the russian political analysts in an interview this summer said there is a new group and the different networks at the top. and not a new group but a reformulated group that has an idea that we are not a mafia, we, we are punto. what does he mean by where not a mafia we are who you talk? his basic with some of the networks run putin were some obsessed with finding their own pockets. there is is another group who are true patriots, who are pursuing their political interest as a great power and those are the people that are coming to prominence now in this post ukraine environment. so he is attacking certain actors around putin say there is a group of loyalists that really have russia's true interest at heart. rogoff refers to the decision in february 2014 to annex crimea to a coup. his logic is a q because there is overnight a huge shift in the balance of power among the elite, the pro-western more economically elites lost power instantaneously in the so-called others, the people who pu

how comfortable would you say the indentured servants system was with the slave system? would you compare them to slaves? when you say they are treated a lot more fairly? prof. paulett: excellent question. comparing indentured servants to slavery. it depends. every answer in history begins with it depends. so, in this case it depends on when we are talking about. at the very beginning of this process, there is not a whole lot of light between the system of indentured servitude and slavery. especially in terms of treatment. servants were considered an inferior class of people who could be treated fairly brutally. the laws governing servants and the laws governing slaves are actually very similar. treatmente day-to-day was similar, the biggest difference being that someone who had a serving contract served a defined number of years which could stretch into an entire lifetime, and someone who was a slave served for life. that was the biggest difference in terms of service. but then once we start getting into the later part of the 1600s and the law start to change, you start

we need to let the private system come obviously, you have to regulate its, the private system begins to flourish. the old system did work and that's why we need obama care, but half of the money and the old system was regulated by the federal government. we have not had a private system in america appear with vast majority of the state, local, federal government has their tentacles and it. what i want to try to do was get the bureaucrats held of the design of the healthcare system and put the resources in the hands of the patient. that is one of the reasons as you mentioned in the intro, the author of health savings accounts, which is the ultimate empowerment of patients to give them the ability to make healthcare decisions. give them the resources. give them the savings account to be able to decide what care they will get, what doctors are going to go through. all of those things are possible we have technology and are smart phones allows access to information that we can start using to empower consumers in healthcare, other areas but health care. public, trust the market place and

of the inequality in our system right now. a we could create representative democracy again, one where congress was not obsessed the tiniest fraction of the 1% cared about, the funders of their campaigns, we could begin to have a government that could work again. i care about equality because you quality is the cure for the disease of our government and the disease of our government is the cronyism that comes with the corruption of this political system. host: eric is calling in from arizona on our independent line. what would you like to ask lawrence lessig? caller: i've a question in a couple of comments. ae question is -- this is not democracy. it is a constitutional republic. if you so worried about the individual, that is why the forebears native -- named it a constitutional republic. i'm curious about what he think the benjamin franklin. thank you. guest: i borrowed benjamin franklin's glasses. admirer of frankel could let us tear up this issue of democracy versus republican the framers gave us a republic. they gave us a

the u.s. criminal justice system is in a state of crises. mass incarceration, overcriminalization, there's an outcry for change in the prison system. the stats are jaw dropping. since president ronald reagan waged a war on drugs, the u.s. prison population has quadrupled. while the united states makes up only 5% of the world's population, it's responsible for 25% of the world's prisoners. the reality is that 1 in 28 children has an incarcerated parent but for african-americans it's one in nine and poor families suffer the most. the criminal justice system is a $250 billion history with $80 that's three to four times more than what the government spends on education. there is, however, a slow but growing effort to reform the criminal justice system. earlier this year, california released nearly 3,000 inmates. in july, president obama commuted the sentences of 46 drug offenders. >> hello, everybody. >> and became the first sitting president to visit a federal correctional institution. in october, the department of justice began releasing nearly

the entire intermodal transportation system goes into gridlock. the impact is disruption of global commerce on a huge scale. what would we do? the real threat is not so much of the attack on the local community, as significant as it is likely to be, but the risk of mass disruption of international commerce. my testimony. the u.s. government needs to focus primarily on policing u.s. bound cargo. to advance the overall security resilience to the global supply system at large. the rationale is that everyone prevent the proliferation of weapons and materials around the one planet, security the human resolution that requires nations take action to detect and intercept outbound shipments of illicit radiological material. we have the rationale to get on with it at a global scale. the u.s. government needs to focus on the active participation of private industry that operates ports and move supply chains. they have the rationale to do this that it is a significant business continuity and business imperative. that it is a public sector responsibility, that

the entire system working together. and that's really important. one recommendation we still have open is tsa should pay close attention to its understanding of the false alarm rate on those machines. it is significant. and it has repercussions for both security effectiveness because of screeners are used to a high false alarm rate. then they begin to think there may not be anything there when the alarm goes off. it has repercussions for financing. because every time the machine alarms, the person has to go through a pat-down. if it could be reduced it would have financial implications as well. that is something tsa is working on. they do not yet have system-wide understanding of the operational false alarm rates. >> administrator, i see you shaking your head you are willing to work on that and make sure we come up with a matrix. here's one of the concerns i have. we all talk about how we are going to work on it. we don't put in parameters to judge whether you are successful or not. will you work on a matrix that satisfi

system will actually shrink? that's right. trombino says the state is spending money into a focused number of projects, instead oo the entire systemm that's because he says people are changing how they travel - shifting more to the primary roads. that means peoole often stop using o oher pieces of our transportatio n system. traffic nats "we have a robust system and the conversation that we arw having is it's all not affordable. as i like to say - - ou or i - or r ll of us we re not going to pay to reconstruct 114,000 lane miles in the state and further it's actually not needed. trombino says travel in iowa has changed over the past fifty ars. peopope aren't just transporting products locally, but nationally and internationally. "my belief is the system willl naturally shrink because we can be much more effective, much more cost effective in how we move people and product and naturally it actually takes less s sstem, overall long- term." he says people naturally stop using certan pieces of the system. "which means likely they are already not be

in the system. and i think that recognizing that, that gives you a lot of grounds -- we have the same objective in mind, even if we approach it from different motivations and different requirements. i'm encouraged that a number of airlines and travel associations that support them have begun to do more to advertise the trusted traveler programs, like global entry and pre-check. i think there is a lot we can do to signify the application procedures and to make them more common across the various programs that the government offers. i think that you can never market that enough, but i do believe that it really comes down to understanding that we are all in the same system together. we have different roles to play, but we can play those roles in a complementary fashion. the airlines have been working very hard to enforce the one plus one rule, meaning one carry-on bag and one handbag or briefcase. they are challenged as well. it is not my business to address their business models, but i can tell you it

through the breakdown of the system. no sooner was the war over than the business community and the rich went to work to undo what had happened in the 1930s. to undo the high taxes on corporations and bring them down to where i just told you they were, to undo the tax on wealthy people to bring them down to where they are today. and therein lies a lesson that it was the upsurge of a militant organized working class that overcame for a while the tendency of capitalism to polarize. but the lesson here was better learned by the business and the rich than by the working people because the business and the rich went to work. no sooner was the war over, they went to work to undo what had been done in the 1930s. the economic history of the united states in the last 30, 40, 50 years has been the undoing of the new deal. that was the name roosevelt gave to what he did in the 1930s. from which the following lesson can be further distilled. the problem for corporations and the rich, who keep running a system that plunges us into cri

has the tagging system made it easier to overlook what's happening on the ground? the london based advocacy group global witness pushed for the law and has played a key role in holding companies accountable. >> the law requires companies to do what is known as due diligence which is a series of supply chain checks. so the tagging is effectively a safeguard for some companies. when it comes down to actually getting your hands on your supply chain and understanding what's going on along it, that's not happening. what we have to be very careful not to do is create a scheme that's simply papering over the cracks and allowing the same networks and the same power dynamics to work but under a tag scheme. >> dan fahey says that criminal networks have already found ways to work around the tagging system. he spent two years as a u.n. investigator in eastern congo. >> rather than have guys with guns at the mine site, you have the guys with guns sitting in the trading town, taxing the trade or otherwise deriving money from the exploitation and, and the smuggling of minerals. o

we had an eye with the system, it was an equivalent category for a storm. as it makes its way to yemen, it's considered a category 1 equivalent storm, it's strong. but it's the amount of rain that will come across. we are expecting between 10-14 numbers of of rain. that is more than -- 10-14 inches of rain, more than six times what they'd see in a year. we'll see mass amounts of flash flooding across the area. the port city - we are looking at 300,000 people, and they are on the worst side of the storm. they have been seeing the rain for at least the last 12-15 hours. we'll watch this as it makes land fall. once it makes landfall it decreases in intensity rapidly >>> six times a year. unbelievable >>> the wrek of a missing american cargo ship lost during heir cane joachim has been found. >> yes, and the wreck of the el-farah lies off the bahamases. now they'll search for clues as to why it sank, and legal battles are beginning. >> reporter: the large object found in deep water off the bahamas, is the elfarrow, saying with 32 members aboard. the sunken freigh

as the fever system became less attractive the budget system became more attractive. this program we want to change the name because with a big success it would have been called blue innovation or blue skies. but it is too late. but the acrid and had already stock it was called the 8qc and is now around the country. but it is the most regulus -- rigorous so a team of researchers had been publishing results on a the aqc annually and consistently if now increases quality in all types of provider groups are succeeding. academic community and the practices that serve low in kong vulnerable populations to meet the targets these results published luck -- last october in the early years of the studies we have a classic controlled experiment those in the aqc and those that were not as so many were in we had to compare them to other groups outside of massachusetts and by number for compared to the control medical claims spending was a full 10% lower. a similar story of dramatic changes. researchers observed over a number of different domains and there are to hear, while nationa

to tell the story i must first talk about the legal system and the two different systems offered. once focused on individual rights, and the other on maintaining public order and doing what was right at the local level. they both mattered. then i explore what happened after the passage of the 14th amendment which properties legal frameworks together and encouraged americans to see federal authority as a protection of both rights and what was right. predatess revolution the rights revolution of the 20th century. was not just ordinary americans who transformed rights and the reach of federal authority. a much wider array of issues that have been the case before the passage of the 14th amendment. that was not necessarily the intention, but it was the rueful -- result. enduringofound and allowing citations what rights and hetero authority can compass. it seemed obvious. she was claiming rights that other american citizens had. and denied her estate law until the federal government interceded. when i returned after writing a book and legal culture, her claim struck me as odd. for that b

it's the legal system, the medical system. and a lot of people will say, we need the immigrants here because most americans don't want to do that work. that's still debatable. dr. carson wants a sensible program in place where he thinks about the children, through no fault of their own, who are here and also the american people and our economy for many of us who pay a price for the fact that immigration laws are very loose. it doesn't really respond to sort of tiding the immigration. he doesn't want to kick people out. but he does believe in strong immigration policies for the american people going forward. >> we will go to george next in pennsylvania, a republican. >> caller: hello. i would like to know what mr. carson's views are on medicare. he keeps talking about wanting to eliminate it, but he never says what he is wanting to do to replace it. we need medicare as a senior citizen. i'm 72 years old. medicare is very important. he never talks about the issues. he only talks about generalities. >> okay. we will get our answer

at the same time, and parallel to the system is the informer political system which is made up of a series of competing plans that were networked together. they compete across institutional lines, cross the lines of politics and economics, for resources and for influence come in for power. i would say the combination of these two factors the sort of electoral authoritarian if you have a formal system is what political scientist with phase one of the key quote, unquote findings of post russian politics. this is a widely a widely accepted point a post-soviet russian politics that have many names. richard who was here last night called it a dual date. nikolai has a part in the book about the network state. henry hale has a book on something about the same thing. the formal size is the informal side. some people call it the system even pawlowski the former putin advisor. he said something in one of his books that is quite apt, he says putin is simultaneously the president of the formal state and the boss of the informal network state. that is the importance of his role in the system. so far on

but that is not the florida system. florida requires as a matter of law and the florida supreme court has said this over and over again, that a defendant is eligible for death only if the trial judge finds as fact beyond a reasonable doubt that a particular statutory aggravator exists. and i submit even if that were not the case, extending shad, which held that in light of 150-year history of states, including in the mental element for first-degree murder, either felony murder or premeditation, that combining those two elements didn't satisfy the death penalty. none of that is here. this is a question of the sixth amendment and the eighth amendment. no state ever has said that the jury can just decide some model of aggravation. they just -- they don't agree on the specific element. and that would violate, i think, the sixth and eighth amendment precedents. >> i would think -- i would think just the opposite, that the necessity of finding the elements of the crime goes all the way back into the mists of history, and this

2020 or 2030 system that will meet their needs in the future and that's different than how the system was laid out in the past." the director says the stste needs to make good decisions on where it's spending its money. the bill to kep up every ingle road and bridge would be much moo than the state hassavailable today. tonight at ten we'll talk with the county engineer about how this is playing out locally. and we'll explain some concerns from one man who lives outside of the city limits. bruce? a lot of people decide not to shave during november to raise awareness for issues like men's health or fighting cancer. 14 year old wyatt o'neil wants to share his story to bring awareness in a different way. doctors diagnosed him with testicular cancer in may of last year and he says he wouldn't of noticed if it weren't for his 8th grade health class. o'neil says his teacher taught the class the importance of self checking, and how to perform one on yourself. "i thought it would be interesting to do because its quite possible, so, i went home, and i did a self chchck, and i found a bump." o'n

we don't measure the impact of that on the healthcare system. we want to encourage these kinds of cures and make sure they're affordable and available to people in the prison population, for example. that is an important thing and something we're going to take very seriously in hepatitis c. >> we wanted everyone with hepatitis c treated. i found as a physician not acceptable we were only treating those with the most advanced disease. to your point from a public health standpoint even someone with early disease can transmit it to somebody else. there's more and more diseases we need to do this. if jonas salk it priced the polio vaccine the way they do today, there would be people who have polio today. we need to find the patients engage the patient and get them treated. >> thank you. now to peter bach who has been mentioned earlier and was tempted to pose a question earlier today. sorry we didn't get to you. please go ahead. >> i ask the same question no matter who i'm asking it to. i want to ask it to steve. i don't want the intelligence grading

in the system. and i think that recognizing that, that gives you a lot of grounds -- we have the same objective in mind, even if we approach it from different motivations and different requirements. i'm encouraged that a number of airlines and travel associations that support them have begun to do more to advertise the trusted traveler programs, like global entry and pre-check. i think there is a lot we can do to signify the application procedures and to make them more common across the various programs that the government offers. i think that you can never market that enough, but i do believe that it really comes down to understanding that we are all in the same system together. we have different roles to play, but we can play those roles in a complementary fashion. the airlines have been working very hard to enforce the one plus one rule, meaning one carry-on bag and one handbag or briefcase. they are challenged as well. it is not my business to address their business models, but i can tell you it

ait is the best system we have, but it can be thwarted. ou have made some refinements to it, but personnel are human beings. they are going to fail. they're going to -- i will bet the staff a dollar they'll be back here, we'll do it next september we'll do the same hearing. we'll have testing and maybe you'll improve slightly but it'll still be a disaster. it's been a disaster in every classified hearing i've sat in. if it was publicly known people would scream for some change. i want to get you out of the personnel business, which is that huge, again, not law enforcement, but screening. you need to be in intelligence and connecting the dots and security. setting the protocols shall the standard. seeing who is not performing. getting rid of them if it's a private firm that's operating. okay. so here's our ait's. we have 450 airports, at 160 locations. then you go to the locations when they put them out. it was mind boggling. and how are you going to change that? it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for the equipment. then it cost the ai

the system isn't working. it was a real puzzle to me and i don't want to pretend i was inspired by the age of six, i was interested in all types of things, but when i came back came back to it in graduate school, i found it to be what i would call the holy grail of economics. it was the puzzle that all economists have and i spent a lot of time researching it. >> i'm guessing the paradox of the shoe will go down in economic history now. i came to the senate in january 2007. i was put in a committee that was later called the sleeping banking committee. they had finished with sarbanes-oxley but didn't have a lot of agenda. my wife and i, then, but not now, live in zip code 44105 and that doesn't mean what much to you but what it means is that there were more foreclosures in the zip code that i lived in than any other zip code in the united states of america. it seemed to me, as in 2007 and eight, in till the spring of eight, there wasn't all that much attention on housing issues because the housing crisis was more

arguably, the federal system has independents. second to the mandatory minimum discussion, you need a system in which players balance each other so if a prosecutor comes to me with a charge that is ridiculous and i find out more about the case, i want to be able to say that the charge may be appropriate in the case of a dealer of megatons, but not this kid. that is where judicial discretion is an anecdote. there is a balance. right now, the system is skewed. skewed thisrugs has completely. like ato sentence people column of figures. discretion to enable me to say, i cannot sentence you to that. mr. foss: the problem with accountability is you are assuming the accountability applies to everyone and everyone has the opportunity to be involved in the process of electing a prosecutor. when you disenfranchise people either through making them , people not system being educated about what a prosecutor does, and let's not forget about the people who are convicted of certain felonies who are excluded from voting, you can get a skewed pictu

you cannot have cronyism in the system. if that is a distraction from this big picture fix we need to do, the va does many things right. if you want to get some of the best health care in the world, it's the minneapolis polytrauma center. it's an integral part of our health care system in general. and you can't talk about the va and va health care reform in a vacuum outside of the larger issue. and i think chairman miller has done a really good job of this, asking va to focus on their core competency. this becomes a proxy fight for privatization versus non-privatization. they're intertwined very closely. when the va, when they do focus on their core competencies, they can get better if they're willing to look at that term of 21st century. i don't think it's as much reform as it is disruptive innovation. health care innovation is changing rapidly. i see it at mayo clinic. when they try to build hospitals, they are not good at it. they're not good at the construction of hospitals, and that is not a proxy fight for government v
