we have to shake hands. we have with -- we have to hug one another. we have to have uncomfortable conversations. we have to make one another mad. we have to walk away and agree to disagree and not walking away saying i don't want anything to do with them. i may not be comfortable with it, but i have to understand all men are -- and women -- are created equal. and we have to stop that narrative of saying all men are created equal because all men, all women, all children, all black, all white, all christian, all muslim, all formerly incarcerated, gay, straight, lesbian, we're all god's children, and we all have a place at the table, and we have to fight for one another because if you don't fight for me, then we all lose.

we contributed to toppling the libyan regime. we toppled it. we left.t has been wracked with civil war. humanitarian disasters. islamic state has taken advantage. we have to be careful at looking at this issue of intervention and how we do it and make sure we do it smartly and have a plan all the way through from the beginning. that we are prepared to accept the costs and risks. that the leadership is committed to an action that is aligned with national and interests -- national interest and interests of those in the area. enforcing the execution in our agency process, giving authorities, to allow us to achieve the results necessary. if we are going to get involved in places like this. host: we are talking about iraq and syria and the isis gains. our guest is retired colonel derek harvey. ben joins us from massachusetts democrat line. caller: good morning, colonel harvey. i go back to the beginning of our nation when thomas payne talked about the efforts of police the world. even at that stage in our country's development. we do not have to rue everythi

[applause] let me tell you, we have lots of ways that that money could be utilized. to help make this country grander, stronger, better than we are today. we need to reform this tax system both at the individual and the corporate level, it is onerous, it is onerous compared to almost any system around the world, and we need to get to that and get to it right away. second thing we need to do is reinvest in our national defense. the united states now, because of the conduct in my view of foreign and defense policy by this administration, can no longer be counted on by our allies and is no longer feared by our adversaries. that's 0-2, everybody. you have to be able to do both of those things and we're doing neither. allies around the world are running from us. and pursuing their own course. adversaries are showing new aggression everywhere. iran, not only on their own, but through thei

we do not varnish what we say.any of the reports that they get back from various agencies who are trying to protect their budgets and programs are just happy talk. that is the role of the ig. we speak truth to power. we have gone strong support, and i think you can see it from the appropriators and others. host: let's hear from robert in jonesville, louisiana. democratic caller. caller: yes, sir. i appreciate c-span, i watch it every day. i watch these republican congressman in the house. every time we turn around, they say, we are broke, we don't have any money. also, i'm a self-employed contractor. anyway, i just can't imagine, it blows my mind that we spend $110 billion to rebuild something that we tore up when afghanistan ought to rebuild its own places. what blows my mind is the budget that was passed i paul ryan, he wants to make medicare of voucher plan for old people. yet also, they took away the meals on wheels deal for old people. and they want to cut social security for old people. a lot of republicans d

and we can do better. we have over 700 homeless vets based on our last census in santsa clara county in 2013, i'm guessing the recent census will reveal we have even more homeless vets. we know the cost of living is more challenging particularly for the poor and working poor and we have to do more. that is why i'm looking forward to a renewed collaboration with the va to see how we can better break down the silocal, share information to insure services are match would the veterans for mental helt, for alcohol and substance abuse, all the many needs as we try to get more of our vets off the streets and out of the creaks and under a roof. and for us in san jose we recognize the critical need of innovation. it is the largest city in the region and silicon valley we work with non profit like down [inaudible] engage homeless individuals and cleaning the streets and creaks they lived in in exchange for affordable housing and jobs and job training and we are able to house over 84 # chronicly homeless individuals

once we get home we lose that.ame mentality that i have. if you can get more of the youth input, that will make the programs drive. >> based upon that i want to ask how would you describe youth engagement for you? what does an elected official, community official have to do to engage you on a a way that is beyond asking your opinion. >> absolutely, effective engagement. a lot of times we can have those conversations and have conversations with people, but intentional and genuine and when we are having conversations the need to be actual items. we cannot just have conversations you know, i feel this way are i feel that way, but the impacts that will follow because i think with young people they need to see direct action in order to be engaged, to stay engaged. they need to see something fruitful coming out of a conversation on be engaged in the community. >> that is a great issue. a great issue. one of the things i struggle with being a young person and working with young people thought you only have to cost them on

and we fund eviction prevention and we fund the grants and we also provide the access housing to support and by the way of prevention, we provide short term rental assistance, and we provide legal representation and know your rights, sum seminars as well as weigh sift in move in costs for the emergency shelters to the affordable housing. and by way of access to houptsing, i want to highlight the importance of this program and that is that we provide the grants to cbos and they, help to shepherd the housing in secure families, through the city process for housing. and i think that it is helpful to have a guide through that process. in the fiscal year, 2014,/15, we reached, approximately 6,000 house holds through our

we have a more granular look how we getet innovation. that's something we haven't donene in the past. in the 1990's, when we were tryingo get more government inuence on how indudustry was developing systems, we allowed that trade space to happen at the contractorite. of coue, they are going to do human nature stuff, just like you re saying. we need to start being smarter more granular buyers of these things. vago: does that mean, in many cases, to unwind systems to more individually compete? nick: i believe we should be th business integratoras well as technology integrarators so that we develoa finer edge to build systemswe have a better appreciation of th requiremen to do the specifications so that we can establish those boundaries at industry will innovate on the other side of without it having to be the whole system. that is where we have the next lelevel of maturity that we are veve excited about. vago: we have a lot of requiremenents for the process that we have tried to ststreamline. but we still have been a norman's amount of upl

we use what we called operational design. it is a way to frame the environment to frame the problem and frame the approach to the system. we started with first understanding the problem. so we looked into puin's grand strategy. and we used ways and means to define that and we looked for tensions within the current russian system and fractures in the system as well. for the environment, we used visualization of the russian bear and the russian bear with his own dna and moving through. he uses gears that controls the bear. so that is what we used to frame the environment. and then we framed some approaches. some of those approaches are in on how to influence the russian system. in those approaches led to the wargame we did in april. >> once we'd completed the process of design in collaboration with a different organization you saw on the charge, we thought it would be good to take this designed and tested as close as we could to a random field experience. in that case that would be a wargame. what you see in the slide in front

we are looking at it. >> we have a warning there. as i recall, bb was the one that narrator: jim lovell had apollo -- had circled the moon on apollo eight. jack swaggart, command module pilot. three days ago, he was on the back of crew and now he replaced ken mattingly. he had been dropped from the mission because he had been exposed to german measles. he would watch the launch from mission control. >> auto sequence initiated. >> roger. >> its complete. >> roger. >> the poster has one complete and we are on internal power. >> how does it look? >> ncc recorded the flight speed. >> ignition. >> it looks good here. >> ok boost it. ok, we go at one. roger. how do we look? >> you look good. it looks good here. >> it looks good, flight. it looks fine. >> roger booster. >> confirm. >> staging flight. >> roger. >> flight five trajectory concerned staging. >> five booster was way early. >> flight confirmed, number five. >> roger. do you see any problem with that? >> negative, not right now, all the other engines are go. >> the next step in lu

we adhered and were not apathetic. we followed up. we applied the continued effort needed in keeping that deterrent effective. challenging words for sure but it is what is required. the cold war ended. there was a feeling that as long as the world remained benign it, we hope we could get away with less than a full effort at nuclear deterrence. we deferred to modernization. we poured down some of our infrastructure. we shrink our numbers. we reduced margins and redundancy and to abuse a favorite expression, we took risk. now it's clear that the benign world we hope for is not going to be the world that we face. the world that we are going to face is not that i polar -- bipolar world. it is a more complex world with players that are equally if not more aggressive. let me give you some examples. russia has an ongoing nuclear weapons production program a new silo-based icbm, plans for at least one or per -- two nuclear bombers. they have increased their operations near u.s. and nato states. moscow has overtly adopted strategy that endorse

we have environmental laws. we have eminent domain issues. we have lawsuits. we pass laws that exempt ourselves from those. but what's been the real reality? we have built close to 70 miles of fencing. you can tell by the different types of fencing there some that works pretty good and some that come you do obviously might stop a truck but certainly isn't going to stop human being. who is the best just to kind of talk about the history of the multiple laws we have passed to build fencing and then we relaxed them set them up for discussion, they are not crystal clear, we don't, i mean, do we really have to build 700? there's no time horizon on a. what's happened? we will start with mr. garcia and then -- >> mr. chairman, if i understand the first question you had was about possible impediments. legal impediments to fence construction. >> correct. >> when congress first expressed their deployment in 1996 although there was barrier deployment before the company provided a waiver vhs or guess at the time the immigration naturalization service could wave to laws. n

we did, we used everything we could, it's a 1952 uh roadside motel that we transformed to back to its former glory. and we uh retrofit some 50s, mid-century turquoise cabinets and pink cabinets and old refrigerators and old stoves but we kept everything we could, the knotty pine, all the kind of uh, wood on the outside. we kept everything we could and you know tried to keep it all uh recycled, everything recycling. >> i know another issue that is dear to your heart is hiv and aids. a member of the b-52s, ricky wilson passed away in 1985. how did that affect you? >> well when ricky passed away in 1985 the band, we were, a decision was made by uh, ricky and cindy's family to her uncle wanted to protect uh, their father and so he said, let's not mention that ricky had aids. and aids was like a new disease then, i mean they were still some people calling it a gay virus. we weren't even sure that, i mean we didn't know ricky was sick, and until a certain point, you know then we realized. but we didn't know he had aids until he passed away. so we were told to be silent and that was very, ve

we are focused on how do we adapt.e are seeing events, as you point out, even if there is not climate change, we are having flooding over and over again why are we not building better? a lot of times it is because we have limited data. often times you will hear, we , are dealing with an event that is a 100 year of event. there are a lot of hundred year events that happened several times per year. we often have limited data. if we only build back to past historical data, we are often times not incorporating what we need to to protect against future impacts when you talk about population growth, population density, and climate change. there are a lot of factors you have to look at to make sure you are building and rebuilding infrastructure in a way that reduces future disaster risks. reporter: can you tell us about a city that may be doing some of this, try to mitigate its flood risk, and some cities that may not be looking at this as much as you would like? host: there are a lot of places -- guest: there are a lot of pl

renaud: we don't feel we need to lower rates. we are very competitive. we offer to borrowers. customers use our loans to pay off an existing credit card balance. the interest is 17%. the average interest rate on a lending club loan is 5%. it is a significant value. we take advantage of the network effect and an appetite from investors to have lower interest rates. i think we are at the right place right now. we have a good balance between investors and borrowers. borrowers are getting a great deal, and investors are happy with the returns. emily: you have been public for five months. what is different about being a public company? do you enjoy it? renaud: it has been positive so far. it was a big marketing event. we had ipo in december. since then, we have continued to grow. we are getting the benefit of better brand awareness and brand credibility. we see that with incoming traffic. we are seeing it with retail investors in greater number in the first quarter. we are benefiting from the momentum of the ipo. we are seeing it in our ability to attract customers. we see it in th

we literally count the fish in the sea and we tell you how many we catch. what always have in common is -- our number one stakeholder and number one customer is the business community and we are really a service provider of public good for the business community. if you think about it, a good portion of what we do is provide information. whether it is information demographic information, economic information -- or we help you, we provide services that help businesses do what they do best, which is to create jobs. mr. powell: that's an exceptional portfolio and we are thrilled to be one of your constituents. it seems that we are in a period of business and economic history that is really like the third grade revolution, the information age. i thought maybe we would focus a little bit on what the internet means in terms of great opportunity and excitement, as well as the dangers and risks associated with what we are seeing there. let's start on the positive side. a lot of emphasis has gone into deploying infrastructure, to allow the united states to be a real

it's a very ambitious agreement that we have sort of in our preparatory work, so we hope and we trust and we think of both sides come it will not be easy. hasn't been easy when we did a long time ago but we can deliver and make really the biggest free trade agreement ever. >> that question of timing is -- >> because you have an election coming up. >> a little something happening in 2016, i think, remembering when the political rhetoric, the euphoria. remember that one tank of gas we're going to get ttip? it's going to be a previous because we're going to be on this one tank for a while. and the concern is tpa, tpp and take enormous amount of political energy here that in 2016, election years are not the best time for big steps to be taken. and i sort asked a similar question to ambassador solomon last week saying it feels to me we sort of solve -- so old it. no, no. this is the boring bit. this would get quiet and focused that you don't see. ok, its board. -- it is boring. it feels external link that is losing all of it of its energy -- it feels externally that it is losing a lot of i

as we look of the 2060 election, we are hoping to have a conversation about what we need as a country. what we need are the kinds of policies that work for everyday americans. we need to have a conversation about how we can reduce the load of student debt that is currently being carried by students all around the country, students to graduate with unbelievable amounts of student debt. we want to talk about expanding social security. what would it look like for people to be able to think about their retirement and be confident that they can retire securely? what would it look like to break up the biggest wall street banks so that we are not at risk of another catastrophic economic collapse? many other issues. as we look at the 2016 presidential election, we look at all candidates on the democratic side and republican side. host: let's drill down a little deeper and ask you specifically about some of the comments. first, bernie sanders, who will have a campaign rally on tuesday afternoon. we will have live coverage getting underway at about 6:30 p.m. on the shores of vermont. he says th

so yes, we will do what we can to mitigate. but i will also always continue to argue that the most effective thing we can do is get the powers out of the hands of westminster and into the hands of this parliament. >> thank you. presiding officer. a number of organizations , including trade unions have , said that the smith commission proposals fall far short of the aspirations for scotland. does the first minister consider that today's agreement goes beyond the smith commission proposals, which should not be seen as a starting point. first minister sturgeon: yes, i do agree. when the smith commission proposals were published members will recall that the stuc were one of the biggest critics of the proposals as they stood, and said that they did not go far enough. the agreement we have reached today, and you know, the scottish government and the stuc don't agree on absolutely everything. but there are key areas where we do agree and we have agreed to jointly make these calls. all of these areas will take us beyond the starting po

we have one week to discuss it. we will have one day to do it. we better be ready.o prevent the country from being in danger by the total expiration of the program that we are all familiar with. host: of course that one day that the senate majority leader is talking about is today. guest: send a rand paul has been taking the stand, preventing this from speeding along, but this is also been a fund-raising bonanza for him. it will be really interesting to see how successful the fund-raising effort is. if you bring senator medicine out of money, i think it will send a signal to the other republicans running for 2016 that they need to reevaluate their support of some of these powers. if he does not bring in much money, it could marginalize him. host: nick has this, the loss of liberty is worse than the threat of terror. dodd is joining us, a burly from salinas, california. caller: i have a number of reasons as to why i am opposed to the metadata collection of the patriot act. it assumes that everyone is a person of interest, which is unconstitutional in my mind. they ar

we are as well.t need. >> that's helpful, thank you. the second question i have is, is a question about whether i'm reading the data correctly. the data suggests that in the united states, five percent of sniff beds are in the acute care center. >> yes. >> what's that number in san francisco? >> well, we have six hospital based units. the chart i showed earlier showed the number of beds in our hospital units always been higher than the number of beds in our free standing facility. the proportion is higher in san francisco. >> the numbers you have suggested is well over 50% of the beds? >> yes. >> don't have 14 numbers but you have four of the community, you have 13 numbers butzdñ?ñ? you have 1xñ?ñ?14 numbers. to me i'm ñ?ñ? trying to put all of these things together. in the context of where we'rerzñ?ñ? trying to get to. for sure we need as a city to make sure that we have those services as the world transitions to what i think is a completely more rational place. which is have better lower cost care

what we call extreme is a man what we call terrorism, what we call -- when we had communism, we knewand what we were fighting. now there are a lot of words thrown out there and it difficult. alix: it is such a pleasure to have you on set. her new book -- coming up, we are talking about tequila. stay with us. ♪ alix: $2.1 billion -- that is how much tequila sold last year according to the distilled spirits council of america. to celebrate this and cinco de mayo, i'm joined by a tequila master who was honored recently by the commission of tequila and mexico for her work educating the world on the history of this spirit. happy to have you here on cinco de mayo. guest: it is an honor to be here. thank you very much. alix: how did you become a master of tequila? guest: i started in the industry about 17 years ago and i fell in love because it's heart of our culture and heritage in mexico. i was the first generation of master of tequila in mexico because it goes generation to generation. eight years ago, the university one of the universities in mexico started this officially, so i became

, we cover so much that we don't accomplish the goal. i appreciate both of you raising that testimony. my last question is going to be for sloan until we come back for a second round, if we do. you kept talking about wanting us to give you more flexibility. >> yes, sir. >> put some meat on that bone. flexibility on what? >> i would say at the very top of the list is flexibility around the determination of hardship for veterans to have access to choice care. and so the way the law is written today, it's restricted to geographic barriers, i think is the right -- the language that is in the bill. we want to open that aperture that would give us more flexibility to be able to expand care. >> open that aperture to be a type of illness? >> it could be a type of illness, it could be distance, an instance where a veteran lives within 40 miles of a va facility that doesn't deliver the care and we want to deliver the care into the community. >> in other words -- i'm going to interrupt you and i apologize. in other words you want the ability to exe

we won't even know who we are. we won't know what we stand for.ith the carson scholars fund, which is a national scholars program my wife and i started, and for those who think that doctors don't know how to do anything, i should say nine out of 10 nonprofits fail. ours not only didn't fail, it is active in 50 states and the district of columbia has one -- won multiple national awards. many of them being awards only given to one organization in the country for outstanding performance.

have we, each of us us all done all we could? have we done enough? we may well be living in the time foretold many years ago when it was said i call heaven and earth to record this day against you that i have set before you life and death blessing and cursing, therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may live. this generation of the world must choose -- destroy or build, can kill or aid, hate or understand. we can do all these things on a scale that's never dreamed of before. well, we will choose life. in so doing we will prevail over the enemies within man and over the natural enemies of all man mankind. to dr. eisenhower and mr. garland and this great institution, johns hopkins, i thank you for this opportunity to convey my thoughts to you and to the american people. good night. >>> c-span's coverage of college commencement speeches continues saturday with susan webber wright at the university of arkansas and dream works chair melody hobson at usc. former massachusetts governor and 2012 presidential candidate mitt romney speaking in manche

we pray when we pray when we look in the eye of the dr.and say, is there anything you can do you are in luck, a new drug a new surgery, new approach. can approach. can i suggest would it not be significant in our lives and in the history of america if we decided to be the driving force to make certain that we make a statement a statement once and for all the biomedical research in the future of this country rather than let it be tossed about by the whims of budget year in and year out? i look at senator cochran and our defense appropriations subcommittee. i said i am going to focus on medical research. the 1st year we increased medical research by 28 percent. and i contacted doctor collins and said are we able to coordinate this? is's the flagship nih can work with the department of defense, cdc the department of veterans affairs to maven the department of energy to make certain we move in that direction. i hope that as we think about an infusion of funds strictly limited to the defense department that we stand our ground and say it will n

we don't need 350 in the parks, we would rather have turoes or carts or 150. we are trying to make the vehicle foot print as light and as green as payable. our goal is actually have as green a fleet we can and have been talking about thew do that. it is a light fleet, but i cannot tell you we do not need vehicles. we very much need vehicles >> just to touch on the point you made of volunteer support for the parks from friends of woodland across the street from with whereyalive to friends of lincoln parks i can see how valuable neighborhood based xhounty based friends and volunteererize to the district. i want to thank you for the great presentation too kwrrkss i think that is all the roster now. i know you is a few pages left. if you want to go through a few more slides i would ask >> i just want to say we have been coming off rough budgets and we are actually very optimistic about the budget. we do have priporties to make investment and that is in park safety and environmental sustainability, active living and getting peep outside and customer service and tha

pipeline of all the housing built and looking where we can build-this is a strategy we use where we build up the housing to shell and finish thauf shell with developer fee dialers and build the site to match a preselected that is competitively build operator who is the right for the location and mix of population. there ranumber of places in toub we have binl doing thatd and also look at added family child care. space is such a problem and you need so much indoor and out door space for child care that continues to be a challenge so where we can build that and do it feasible is where we do and t and where family chile care makes the most sense. one thing i would say in that planning that look at this neighborhood by neighborhood and demand and we want to be very careful about not building care and driving family child care providers out of business but we know where we have short falls of center base care and pick up the slack with family child care and look at that as a system in terms of meeting family needs. this is the a tracker for you to see the growth in licensed sent acapacit

so we didn't even know. but in a perfect world someone else already said it if we had a one stop shop to be able to go to one place and get the permits as well as a class to teach the people that want to learn and put something on. >> next peeker. >> thank you. >> my name is ben lyman and i am the chairman of the california music and culture, and i am also a local businessman who is putting on a music festival in set. september. >> i want to commend everyone in this, and we think that it proves what everyone kind of already knew that music festivals are totally awesome flt we are looking forward as an organization to work with the city hall now to encourage responsible festivals, in the city. and to remove the frustrating bureaucratic road blocks and the fees that makes the festivals impossible and we are very much looking forward to keeping this study m mind when we negotiate with the groups who sometimes have varying degrees on whether they have the direct benefits to themselves and the city. >> thank you.

lastly, i just really think we knew we were talking a little theoretically and thought we would look at a successful campaign that used the spectrum of prevention. the truth campaign, an anti-smoking campaign was funded by the tobacco settlements. i think there were two key things that this campaign did. the first thing it did was really step back and identify what it wanted to do, which was to get kids to stop smoking. somebody finally identified after 30, 40 years after telling kids smoking is bad for you, don't do it, it wasn't working and teenagers are not receptive to the "man" telling them how to behave. so we found teenagers who were maybe open to smoke, but hadn't yet and identifying the messages that would be impactful to them. what they found very quickly was teenagers react against authority. so in this case, they had a big smoking corporations that were trying to get them to smoke. and the campaign was really developed around the idea if they got the truth, they could rebel against "the man" by choosing not to smoke. they launched social media campaigns and with trucks go

we agree as we look at the space, we were looking at functions, device functions that we had been regulating for a long time. and now some of them are being put on mobile platforms. and when we found is we looked at it is that some of these lower risk functions we made better serve by no longer actively regulating them. and spur a little bit more innovation, but there is sufficiently low risk, we don't need to provide that additional fda oversight. instead, focus on higher risk medical device functions in this space. that is a nice balance on that facility innovation, but still assure a good patient safety. >> thank you. i don't know dr. collins, if you have anything you would want to add? >> only that i think your point about mobile health technologies is extremely well taken. the proliferation of really exciting opportunities is happening all around us and we certainly see this precision medicine initiative as a great opportunity to test those out because you not only want to have an application that is kind of cool, it gives you interesting information, you want to know does it actually i

we want to make sure we is on europe -- we focus on europe. enough to have the option to build a 10 billion plus revenue company. we do not have any plans currently to move over to the u.s. guy: is your biggest competitor in europe? do you think that story is going to change? icm is amazon pushing into the fashion space and other brands upping the digital presence. the u.s. is coming to you. mr. ritter: i think many people have understood that it is an interesting and fast growing business to sell fashion on the internet. our success has probably encouraged money to invest more in the space. at the same time, underlined by fast growth in the first quarter, i think we have been doing a good job to convince customers to shop with us. to be honest, our biggest competitor is everybody who is selling fashion. it is an extremely fragmented market. the biggest fashion companies only have small market shares. i think we are on a good track to continue to win market share in this competitive market. francine: you have managed some deals, i'm thinking o

so much of what happens that we want to go after happens after we have written shows but before we airemily: your writing history before it happens. mike: sometimes we have gotten lucky -- or unlucky, depending on how you look at it. we do something on the show and then it happens in the real world. emily: what would you like to happen in the real world silicon valley? alec: keep doing what you are doing. it seems like every time we try to make up what is the crazy next thing, the real crazy next thing happens and is even crazier. mike: we would take meetings and people would describe deals that have happened. 50 million users from this app are worth so much. we found ourselves saying, is there a giant bubble that is about to burst. emily: is that happening? alec: what are the reasons that they could not get $10 million or $50 million in funding and they kept saying that there is no reason. if you had to make up a reason why, hypothetically, so the show was more interesting, what would that be? no reason. emily: the show has been criticized for the portrayal of women. your actress has

see some risks developing of course we are trying to take action where we can can but we are speaking out more generally about the risks that we see developing and i'll give you a couple of examples. in the market for leverage loans we have certainly seen a reach revealed and are seeing a deterioration in underwriting standards something we have been highlighting for a number of years. and in our role as supervisor of financial institutions that are underwriting these loans we are trying to ensure that underwriting standards move up in our higher to diminish risks. we have also seen a compulsion and spread around high-yield debt which certainly looks like a reach for yield. i guess i would highlight that equity market valuations generally are quite high. not so high when you compare them to returns on equities the equities, the returns on safe assets like bonds which are also very low but there are potential dangers there. and and in interest rates obviously not only short the long-term interest rates said at low the embodying low term premiums which can move and can move very rapidly
