i don't know if i have -- do you have -- >> undergrad. you got a law degree, didn't you?th in my school. >> eighth. >> my concentration. >> eighth? really, seven people ahead of you. >> my father was none too happy. >> i don't blame him. >> none too happy. you go on twitter and i find out i'm an idiot every day. completely rolling back, 100% of whatever accomplishments i have. >> you cannot allow it to bother you. >> don't let it get unmy skin. >> roll after your back. >> the person that said jimmy, restaurant is closed. i have to go over towel in hand, people don't leave so much food on your table, pouring water, behind the bar, and i'm missing the 1:00 games. >> yesterday? >> yeah, i had to clean. i had to -- i gave all of the tips to the bartender. whatever. let me put it behind me. last time i had to it that i was 16, david, it's humbling, and my heart goes 0 out to servers because, boy, are you treated terribly. >> everybody should do it wouldn't in their life. >> now it's like the tenth, whatever. >> put it behind you. >> customers are always right. >> a lot to put

undergrad was economic. we can do this. we need to do this.i look across the board the are a ton of different areas we can do it. you can look across the board whether it's over corporate loopholes, shipping jobs overseas. there's a number of different things but you need leadership. that's what i look forward to doing. >> moderator: mr. valadao. valadao: as a freshman i was shocked to know that the house or the senate hadn't moved or had passed a budget in quite a few congresses. so when we finally came into office and started to look at the numbers and do the math, we decide hey, why do we pass the budget? paul ryan was part of the budget before. the senate chose to ignore it. they don't want to talk about the numbers. we have to realize that we have to sit down and work together. because yes, social security is important but it's just as important for the retiree today as it is for my kids as he is paying t for his life to make se it's there for him. yes, we have to make sure the programs are solvent. today they're struggling for the. when

>> i'm a graduate of the university of arkansas, undergrad and loslaw school. this is a college town. little rock is in some ways a college town. great colleges and universities all over arkansas and we need to make education more affordable. i think a good student loan rate is 2.3%. congressman cotton has voted to double the interest rate on student loans. in addition, he says he wants to repeal the stafford student loan program. here's the problem. when he went to harvard, he used stafford student loans. now he was to repeal the program. that is what climbing the ladder and then pulling it up behind you so no one else can find it. i can understand the struggles students face in higher education. i took student loans my cell. my dad is a farmer and my mom is a schoolteacher. , a mix the right choices of federal loans and private loans from our local bank. you don't get to make that choice anymore is a student because obamacare nationalized the student loan industry. obamacare grabbed money to pay for its own programs and took that choice away from you so the b

> at the university of illinois at urbana-champagne, you have 19-1 student to faculty ratio, 150 undergrad majors, 84% six-year graduation rate. so it takes over four years. 84% of students there are taking over three years to graduate. and in 2013, research expenditures over $123 million. what is your job placement record for those students who are graduating from the university of illinois? >> very, very high. very, very high, because over -- last year, we had over 8,500 companies visiting our campus. and probably more than 100 of the fortune 500 companies come to our campus, so the placement really is very, very high. we must show the specific number right now, but we are very sure that our talents, the talent that reported from the university of illinois are desirable, they are desired at a very high rate, and we bring best to the table what i call the workhorse and the racehorse of talent for this country. my understanding is that cspan is going through the big ten. we have a counter part, which is an official aspect of the big ten. we produce the largest number of talents for this co

vegas and the grand canyon and really started air ware to address some problems that i saw as an undergrad at m.i.t. in developing a drone for specific targeted application. we build a platform. the platform is hardware, software, and cloud services that really power drones and enable them to be developed by other companies. so the one thing we don't do at air ware is actually build the drones ourselves. >> i'm christian sands, founder and ceo of sky catch. we build fully autonomous ground robots and uavs for collecting data. some of our clients are bechtel, clayco and they use the robots to collect data across all their job sites. our goal is to help all these companies with logistics, help them optimize process, safety, and we just finished our series a round and thankful to be here with you guys. >> that's great. thank you. obviously an amazing panel. first question to chris. where are we today with the underlying technologies that make these small drones possible and where is it heading? >> sure. well, first of all we should probably define with a drone is, and we could probably all di

they both went to loyola at different points; my father for law school and my mother for undergrad.ckly after they were married. so she taught and then she had all these children. so they were both, they were both educated, and they both were very much interested in words. my father went on to do a lot of municipal law, represented the city of chicago fire department at different points and then, you know, various municipalities in the region and was, essentially, in a maul office with a partner -- small office with a partner as he did that. he wasn't with a big firm. >> host: do you remember the first time that you were interested in law? >> guest: i was always interested in it. my early journalism jobs were covering government and politics, but i found that i gravitated toward the courts. i was always interested in court rulings, interested in cases. and then when i got to washington, it was, it became very convenient, actually, to go to law school on side. and i kept saying to myself because while i was, you know, i had a full-time job at congressional quarterly and "the washingt
