host: do you have a question for matt thorn? caller: yes, doesn't it cost more for viagra than a sex change lifetime? guest: the short answer is yes. the military spends roughly $60 million on viagra. i do want to leave that out -- lay that out for all the viewers today. viagra prescription medication is a lot of times for servicemembers who need it. this is not an to -- this is not an extracurricular thing. this is for service members who need this medication to help in their personal lives, etc. it is not a frivolous expenditure by d.o.d. and is fundamental care care our service members require and need. d.o.d. is fulfilling that role it has to play. host: is secretary mattis' relation contrary to what the president called for, wanting to ban transgender troops from the military? is there anything secretary mattis can do? is he required by law to follow the president's direction? guest: the court injunctions will stay in place, so it is kind of a stalemate for the president i guess. if the president continues to push this, yes

so kip thorne is the second nobel prize-winning student of john wheeler, and thorne has always been grateful to wheeler for his mentorship. so when wheeler died, freeman dyson said he was kind of like a prophet looking out over the promised land that his people will one day inherit. the promised land is new ideas in physics, and those inheriting the wheeler legacy are modern theoretical physicists who owe a great debt to wheeler. so all of this and more is in my book which, as mentioned, i'll be happy to sign for anybody who's interested, and you can learn more about feynman and wheeler. but now i'd be glad to take some questions from the audience about feynman, wheeler and the physics they were involved with. [applause] thank you. >> we have a microphone back here in the middle aisle, so if you'd like to ask a question, we is that you come to -- we ask that you come to the microphone. i'm right over here. hello. microphone is right here. >> hello? about, what about swinger? they shared the prize with feynman, but you haven't mentioned them. maybe they're in your book. and also i was glad to

chairman thorn berry. -- thorn berry. -- mr. thornberry: thank you, speaker. all of us on the armed services committee are extremely grateful for the speaker's leadership in putting -- fixing the military as a priority. let me just remind you-all of a couple of statistics. when the house passed our defense authorization bill at exactly the same numbers that are in the cap deal we'll vote on today, the vote was 344-81. when we voted on the conference report at exactly the same defense levels that are in the cap deal today, the vote was 356-70. in the senate the votes were 89-8. and then the conference report was a voice vote. my point is there is widespread agreement in both parties that we have cut the military too much. that our service members are suffering as a result. and that we need to do better. this cap deal that will be voted on today is exactly the same funding levels as the bill that i just read the votes for. my view is that this -- fixing the military is the dominant priority. we have to fix the military. i know members on both sides have other co

and so we have been working with thorn to put together a psa about when someone is trying to collect those images from you and how you can reach out to get help and that's the psaa we launched with them and we've run it on the plat norm and we are currently in a discussion about basically translating into a number of different languages. >> another thing that we are currently working on and actually, this is with the state attorneys general is a series of psas targeted within the state and they have programs to reach out to victims or to connect with victims and don't necessarily always have the resources because they're a government agency to do the kind of outreach at scale and so we are currently working with them to put together a series of psas reaching out with each state having its own call to action depending on what it is what that particular attorney general wants to do as a call to action and those are some of the smaller -- smaller -- they're each individual small pieces, but at scale they can be large. another thing that we really have been trying to do more of late is t

thorne and katie, they seem to be a cute, little couple. what do you think about that?> brooke: uh, i told you katie was involved with wyatt. >> ridge: it's still going on? i thought it was just a casual thing. >> brooke: well, it's still going on as far as i know. and you have fiancé privilege. you're not supposed to be telling anybody. >> ridge: i just thought, you know, if they're sitting together at the wedding and

i'd love to kind of elaborate on the work you're doing with thorn and mcnick and across platforms and integrate that and how that would affect the reduction of trafficking or how you may catch some people. >> well, first i actually just want to -- -- it's great to come to these because sometimes you get another new idea. interestingly with this work that you're talking about, there's a particular ngo that is working on activating communities. so when you see a path of trafficking that may be occurring, often times around refugee communities, they have been utilizing our platform, not just literally through groups and other connections on the platform to energy communities to basically build a resilient response. and first of all get to victims, but also try to shut down the trafficking in those communities. and it just strikes me the port that will you're building and talking about could be a really great intersection for all three of us to work together. so i'm glad i was here today. to give an example in some of the ways we would work with some of our partners, i guess i'll call out

i want to give one callout to an organization that i believe is here today, an organization called thorn that works very specifically on this type of technology for law enforcement, and they in particular, have a unique tool called spotlight which we'll get a chance to talk about today which is extraordinarily promising and something that we should be getting into the hands of all law enforcement officials. the next thing is working with partners. so i started with that, but i can't really underemphasize the importance of these partnerships. we are experts at building human connections, but we are not necessarily experts of all of the things that happen on our platform. we would aren't be able to do this without the expertise of these partners. so we need experts in law enforcement experts with working with victims and we did the sex trafficking where we brought in these experts to talk to us about patterns that we could share with our engineers so that we can build testimochnologies spot this stuff on the platform and work with people outliezing the platform to understand where these ab

especially in a country like lot which has been dependent on russia for so long and which has been a thorn in russia side you know joining the european union nato and also the euro currency so it's. there are other factors that could play a role here money lost money laundering charges by the u.s. administration against the third largest bank and stuff like that but it's quite likely that it's russia involved too but we're not talking about meddling in the affairs of the world's top economists the u.s. we're talking about a tiny nation what what would most go hope to change well i would say they tried to meddle militarily and politically and countries like ukraine and georgia who are not safe in terms of being nato members and e.u. members in latvia estonia lithuania of those small baltic countries that were once part of the soviet union they can't do that so they have to be more subtle they have to find other ways to do it i'm as i said before i'm speculating here but if russia wanted to meddle they would have to do it in the most subtle way such as this putting a wedge between lots of ot

muller's investigation into the trump campaign's possible collusion with russia has also been a constant thorn in the president's side. donald trump has accused the f.b.i. and the justice department of skewing the russia probe in favor of democrats interests and against those of republicans on twitter he said they were politicizing the investigation. and now a controversial memo is the latest salvo in this conflict drawn up by republicans and released over the objections of the f.b.i. and justice department it alleges bias at the nation's top law enforcement agencies a committee led by republican lawmaker devan newness voted to release the memo which says the f.b.i. used improper means to spy on trump campaign aide carter page. not surprisingly democrats take another view. the top democrat on the committee had voted to release the memo says it's meant to undermine miller's investigation. the point was to selectively declassify information so that it would support a narrative favorable to the president a characterization that trump rejects he's defended his decision to allow the memos release t
