, and we have got a good process and we could do more with it but we have a good process which we haveal route is to your line manager, but that is not always where you can go, that might be the problem, so we have another route which is our support of work line which is our support of work line which as you can ring up hr not connected with your line management and critically the thing we have introduced, is working, but we have got more to do, and we have got most people confident in this but there are gaps in this which is normal when you are deploying these things, but we have a whistle—blowing process which is external and confidential. that process i can talk about in more detail at another time, i'm more than happy, but that process has been introduced and is a means by which people can go to raise their concerns, so there is a safe place they can go to raise concerns and we track that and in terms of transparency they are not many organisations that put that in their annual report. we do have that in ours and we are more than happy to track it and obviously i cannot talk about

now we get to work. how do we fix it? let's clawback the $500 billion of unspent covid dollars that are out there. instead of 87,000 irs agents, let's go after the hundreds of millions of dollars of covid fraud that exists. quit borrowing, cut up those credit cards. republicans and democrats have a spending addiction. when it comes to education, do what your great governor, kim reynolds, did. let's make sure our kids can read by the third grade. let's have complete transparency in the classroom, and let's let parents decide where their kids should go to school. [applause] when it comes to the border, we will do what we did in south carolina, but we will take it national. we will do a nationally verified program. we will put 20,000 border patrol and ice agents on the ground and let them do their job. we will defund sanctuary cities and instead of catch and release, we will go to catch and a port. we have the answers of what we need, but look at all of those issues, and d.c. has not handled any of them. that's why we have t

we started out and said, we have to tell our story. we have to do what we do. competition we are not afraid of. we think competition is good for the party and america, and for getting results. on the why vote for us, people left to make their own decisions. if you think the issues of the economy and energy and national security, if you think improving the life of every american, if that matters to you, i would say vote for us. you say i want someone who was on the private sector job, that cares deeply about people and families, i can't describe why, everyone else can make their pitch on why they think they will be the one to do it. i think we have what america needs. where putting it out there. we are going to make sure everyone knows who we are. we no forget the job will be able -- know if we get the job will be able to do it well. >> what can be done about the under what justice system in the country? -- unequal justice system in the country? we talk about it, we as republicans talk about it, it doesn't seem to be fixing it very much. >> it is still under the

we had to develop a baseline. if you look at where we have been, we have lost employees. we will not go back, but we want to hire 4000 and leverage the other 4000 through working with others to create health and resiliency in the landscapes. some of you may be experiencing what we are in the agent. we hired 3300 employees and it was really good. we lost 2500 through attrition. what we gained was 800 new people to add to the capacity that we had. there is an amount of time where you need to be training people as well. the other thing a lot of the people that we hired, a high percentage of them have left the agency, and we do not know if that is the new labor pool, but we are experiencing a 45% reduction. we do not know if covid in the workforce. that is a conversation that i would like to have with you all, but we are managing through that. nevertheless, we have been successful with this first year, and i think we are set up to be even more successful. you all know that the secretary, i accompanied him in arizona and we made the announcement of 10 landscapes. we have added

we don't have time. we fix it.hat is what makes us great, and right now, we are used to fixing things for our kids or fixing something in the finances or fixing an issue at home. now we have got to fix our bigger home. we had to fix our country. we can do this. i have no doubt that america has an amazing ability to self-correct. what we have to have his everybody has to commit to not sit on the sidelines but do something about it because we can save our country. i believe in it and have faith in that. it requires every single person to say yes, i am going to be a part of the solution. >> let's talk about the united nations for a moment. i came across a guide from the nea that was tied to the united nations 2038 sustainable development goals. 17 goals that are radically transforming not just america but the entire world at the same time. gendered identity coming out of these goals. how as president will you help to safeguard the sovereignty of the united states when there is such an immense pressure even from the te

we will protect what we must, but we want to trade where we can. and that includes with china. we have no interest to decouple. many jobs depend on trade with china and things outside of technology completely unrelated to the national security and i do think it's important that you hear that from me that we want to trade where we can. >> and i agree and appreciate that. >> thank you. with respect to the rest of the region, i think it's a few things. first, it's showing up so the commerce department's budget calls for additional funding for the commercial service presence in the indo pacific one of the most dynamic fastest growing regions of the world economically. we need to be there. we need to be doing business and promote our own exports. a second, as we've discussed of the indo pacific framework although it's not a trade agreement and we've discussed that, it is significant if we are successful i believe we will be in getting 14 countries to sign on to a supply chain cooperative agreement and critical minerals, infrastructure agreement. it will bring more u.s. industry trad

sure, we had pieces of ebola we had to worry about and yes, we have the flu. but this was one where more people wanted to not have the data or evidence and say, we do not have anything to say it is here. they allow that ignorance, deliberate not snowing, -- del iberate not knowing, to get out of hand. have we started collecting data earlier, we would have known how to respond. >> i agree with all of that. it was a partly willful decision to not respond in the worst two months, january or february. i was one person but not the only person in february to say this was going to be a global pandemic and what affect majority of people in the world. i was not the only one because it was clear to epidemiologists if there are cases in dozens of countries that it is the weakest link problem that an epidemic spreading anywhere becomes a risk of an epidemic spreading to new places. even if china, as it did, can control the source, once it is out into the rest of the world, it is the weakest link. and there is age -- and the chance it gets back into the bottle is nil. we d

we need partnerships, we need allies. i want to thank secretary austin, in particular, for his outstanding work on helping to build and hold together the coalition that is supporting ukraine. 54 nations, i think a lot of people accept that as a foregone conclusion, it was not. it was not easy. it took the leadership of this administration. particular leadership of secretary austin to pull together to help. we cannot forget, most people assume the ukraine to be taken over by russia by now. they are incredible will to fight, their courage to stand up has been, and inspiration to the world. it would not have been possible without the support of international coalition that we help the billl threat. but the aukus agreement from uk and australia, the quad where we work with japan, india and australia. we've recently seen japan step up significantly in terms of the the what where we work with japan, india, and australia. we have seen japan step up significantly in terms of the amount of money that we are spending on their defen

with a timeframe we we want to investigate then we open to the partners then we run we coordinate tothe investigation and then we synchronize all the communication with the distribution, with a plan of distribution. and then there is some follow up. and then as an organization of forbidden stories, we need as well move to all the cases. we are here to continue the work of associated reporters. so in the meantime, we need to go back to our main mission as well and to and to do our work. but i would imagine that pegasus reporting is something that's always in the back of your mind with i mean every time because by the very nature of the of forbidden stories means that every you start an investigation and it is around sensitive information involving who are in danger and people enemies and so how are you constantly thinking about the of your communications and how to both pursue your work that is meant to keep safe without endanger during them because there's been some infiltration even of of of your network of confidences. yeah as as investigative journalists. i think both of us were a

we will then go to new zealand and celebrate the partnership that we have with new zealand which we are working on challenges regionally and globally in the secretary will have an opportunity to view a world cup soccer game which we are excited about. i could be the highlight of his trip there. we will travel to brisbane for meetings with our allies and most consequential will be to australia. this is just the latest strip that demonstrates strong and enduring commitment to the indo pacific. we are in and pacific nation and partner to these nations. we hope to build our collective capacity and face our shared challenges. >> i am struck watching the dynamics in the region that we are doing two things simultaneously and i wonder if there is some tension? if you think about the relationships between australia and japan. these are high-end political defense on the geopolitical front. if i think of papa, the solomon islands, it is very different. we are looking at climate change, illegal fishing. how do you balance those two things? how does the secretary think about that and how you approac

two important things that we did this past year is when we chose to regulate the pipeline sector we only rightly to pipelines that were the most critical to the infrastructure in the country. agency called cis and art of department of homeland security work on identifying within each critical infrastructure sector, all 16 sectors, which were the most radical owners and operators. we took that list and put a regulation out that applied to just that list of owners and operators, which is also a fluid list. as a new company that might come in and meet criteria for criticality in that sector, they would be covered by those requirements your debts when the first things we did was focus on the most critical owners and operators. the second thing we did was decided that the reporting needs to come to one place in the federal government rather than multiple federal agencies. we decided that in our directive that reporting would go to cisa who would have the response would to provide the information not just to tsa but to the pipeline and hazardous materials agency and permanent transportation an

we resurface. we're happy. we are rich. we inspire all of the nation's. we would want to build the europe -- sometimes we feel more americans than americans. >> i come back to the question about defense in the nordics. this is something we didn't believe can happen overnight. even last, as a member in january last year we had discussions about how long it might take for sweden and finland to reconsider the current situation and everybody understood the major invasion is just, it's coming at its next door, and just it was remarkable to see actually both finland and sweden led by social democrats, made this historic change. and, of course, the leadership of the people were really visible there. now it's the baltic seas, sue and, of course, i hope sweden will be in coming weeks full member of nato. and we have to do whatever it takes actually. there is real term possibility black sea will be as well nato if ukraine is free and liberated and including crimea. one day georgia also will reach the level of readiness to become a full member of nato. 86% of ukrain

we will be asking, this collection of data, do we assess it is suggesting we need more data? that is how we are looking at the next meeting and how we are looking at meetings going forward potentially. right now we are merely looking at the next data. i will also say, between now and the september meeting, we have two more job reports and two more cpi report. we have the employment competition index later this week. lots of data on academic activity. all of that will inform our decision as we go into that meeting. i would say it is certainly possible that we would raise funds again at the september meeting if the data warranted. and it is possible we choose to stay. we will be making assessment meeting-by-meeting. i will close by saying, we raise the federal funds rate now by 525 basis points since march of 2022. it is putting downward pressure on academic productivity and information. reporter: he said that data probably came in in line with expectations, does that mean there could have been a change in the overwhelming outlook that two more hikes are necessary? chairman pow

>> we look at his history look at what we did with 4g technology and how long we have had auctions to distribute these airwaves. there is an understanding that we are created when it comes to these policies. we build industries on top of these airwaves that can go out and change the economy and change the world so there is so much interest. historically we have been rallying others in the process and then taking advantage of the scale. bring others in and help grow their sectors back home. a lot of the wireless work has benefited from being in the leadership position. you say quarterback. i would say pied piper, getting other people to follow but that is challenging right now. there's other countries and they do not have democratic values at their core that are organizing very fast to try to get others to follow and use equipment that they develop and work with standards that they develop and leave us on the side and we cannot let that happen. >> i want to tie that point with something else you mentioned you reverted to begin physical infrastructure. in my view i'm not a spectrum engi

we will make sure that we are at that point. >> we haven't been denied that yet. that's what we are going to see play out over the next week whether we will get this together. >> [inaudible] >> would we support the egg bills coming to the floor? we haven't seen what's in there. i don't think they've been drafted yet. we note -- need to know what's in there. >> [inaudible] >> who do -- i won't speak for anybody else. i won't it into that. the evidence we've adduced in the oversight committee and the judiciary committee with regard to the crime syndicate. i don't know what else you can call it. that would be a very interesting and necessary step. before we talk about impeachment , we should have an at speech meant inquiry and get more teeth into our investigations and expand and broaden those investigations to bring more witnesses. the evidence i've seen is overwhelming. it would lead one to believe that our president is corrupted and compromised. >> it's all of the above. look at the evidence. the president is the head of the free world. what it looks like this guy

if we have to place restrictions, we will. francine: my conversation with kyriakos mitsotakis next on "leaders with lacqua." prime minister, you have a mandate from the greek people. what is your intention on how that will unfold in the coming years? pm mitsotakis: first of all, i am happy, honored and proud to be able to secure a second mandate. we actually got a higher share of the vote then 2019, something unusual for an incumbent government in these difficult times. i want to make sure i use this strong mandate to drive forward and aggressive reform agenda and make sure greece makes up for the lost ground and converges with europe at a fast pace. high growth rate is my number one priority. this would give us fiscal space to drive through important changes in health, education and other policies. areas i care about. francine: you are confident you will get investment grade. when you get investment grade, what does that mean? what does that change in terms of investment coming into the country? pm mitsotakis: i think it chan

they did not know who we were, what we were or why we were there. remember when i would get eased on the playground. my mom would say, your job is not to show them how you are different. your job is to show them how you are similar. it is amazing how our country could use my mom's advice now. even though that town did not know why you were there, my parents knew why we were there. it was never a day they did not remind me, my brothers and sister how blessed we were to live in america. my mom started business out of the living room of our home. it was a successful company. i started doing books for the business when i was 13. it was not until i got to college that i realized it was child labor. i went on to a public university. i am not an iv leader. i graduated with a degree in accounting. i am an accountant, not a lawyer. when i worked in the corporate home, i came back home for the family business. one day, i happen to be sitting with my mom telling her how hard it was to make a dollar and how easy it was for government to take it. my mom said, qu

that is not we are. -- who we are. we are saying "common sense", i appreciate no labels doing what they have done. i want to thank the college and the institute of politics or allowing us to be here, it is fantastic. i want to thank governor sununu, i know he is here somewhere. thank you. [applause] thank you for allowing us here. to my two colleagues, we appreciate -- i can tell you i have been there for 13 years, people say, why are you here? we started this 12 years ago. he became the first cochairs of no labels. a democrat and a republican mirrored both governors, i was the governor of west virginia, he was the governor of utah. how do you ring with parties together to make correct decisions? you can do it without an ally. >> argue considering a president -- are considering a presidential run? >> everybody wants to know what joe is doing. kevin, thank you for sharing the stage with us. thank you to all who have organized tonight's event. governor sununu, we love you, who are the best governor out there, should be u

we have a multinational operation that we execute. that we are setting up for the future. from a cocom perspective, the integration is good. i think we are in place with, because of the responsibility behavior, the advocacy re-received due to u.s. leadership and establishment of services, you will see a bow wave of like-minded nations who recognize the shift that these nations, the prc and russians want to make the international order and value of norms to preserving that order. it is not just about war fighting, it is about escalation management and preventing miscalculation. it is good, the service. >> one thing i will say is general is similar to dickens got his own department of political advisor. she is on staff and looking. that has been a great attitude to stop. secondly, we have guardian and state department, looking these loans in behavior and engaging. in the third piece is the discussion of a working last week. we went to the cso to talk about the coalition outreach. state department was there for the and talked about the efforts they are working towards in norm

we have what we call the go, no go memo. very early in the process if there are key issues or risk we know where we need to spend our time and shouldn't spend on investment and stop and efficient with time. elevated operational due diligence. importantly, solidifyed the role of the portfolio management group and assure when the portfolio group meets to review investments before they come from the board, we are a tough crowd. the group is tough and ask direct questions. many occasions are the questions you all raise and many are in addition to that. but that adds another level of oversight. it brings perspective when we do this cross asset class and makes our process robust and includes questions such as, if we make this investment and something goes wrong in a few years, whether we think that will be-willing to accept that risk and why? and then finally, we found-codify the asset class guidelines and manager selection process. we very clearly documented how we select managers and how we monitor those managers. the next two s

we have kids, we have adult ones, we have fiction ones and so on. it's a broad number of and we are increasingly tasking our booksellers in the stores, challenging our booksellers in the stores to, really make the best of these key books and these key books are ones that are chosen not because of the dollar remuneration, no fee attached to them, because we don't take anything for that. it is purely based on the fact that these are books that we've read and loved and we believe should sell well. one of the defining senses that we're trying to address here, that the whole publisher world, i think in terms bestsellers have become somewhat constricted. the bestseller chart, certainly at barnes and noble with the same authors that they had been for, really decade, nothing with those books. and we need to continue to sell those books. but when you are looking at a best seller list in which a james patterson will have three or four maybe even more of the top ten, where every single one of those authors is somebody that has been around for a very long time

or are we saying that we are only going to do glide? >> it is just glide for now is and if we decide later on, especially as we get the interviews and if we want some community input. i heard some people it was onerous to be in a particular community and maybe have it centralized in city hall again, specifically for community input. >> okay, i see. >> i think-dan, i think the timeline that was augmented by dhr on the attachments, it did like the onial timeline and they did one specifically for ig hiring, maybe we could incorporate- >> this is supposed to cover only the period april 1 through june 30. >> i get that, but in past reports we said we would move forward to and submit this probably july/august, so we will have covered something. >> that was for the annual report. the parameter frz the quarterly report are narrower for the charter. >> i get that because we missed so many meetings and we actually done more so i think just to know what the board of supervisors can anticipate and then we are still always in a budget cycle, so i do

we didn't see any. we saw the glow. but they stop firing because they were firing into our troops there. they stopped. fired? oh, so we felt good about that. yeah. then going back d what was the reason that you were given this specialty? the surveys that flash unsound? did you have background? mm hmm. no, i was i would. i didn't. i did not have background. i had college training. what did you study? william mary? no, but i had enough math that i could do that. and the colonel of the artillery regiment at pendleton did not have anybody scheduled that knew anything about this. so i had another job at the time. my job was treasurer at the commission. officers of match and he used to come up to have lunch and so forth he said, i need a lieutenant to go to school. he said, what are you doing and would you like to go to school? and i said, well, what are you talking about? and he told me? i said, sure, i'd love to go to school. so we went to fort sill to this school, flash and sound ranging, the name of the school, but and in

we need to remember that we have to find a way forward. the promise of america is enough for everyone to succeed. i am always going to fight for that. i want to thank you all. i know you have been told that i have a helicopter waiting to go to new york. i will be talking about this later. we will have plenty of time to talk about this, but we will not let this break us. question is this a rogue court active -- court? >> up next, the reaction to the supreme court decision on the striking down to action. we need universal health care. >> good afternoon. we will get started in one minute. good afternoon. my name is maya wiley. i am the president and ceo of -- we are the nation's oldest and widest -- and we look like this nation. we are the people of this nation. we are here today to discuss the supreme court's decision on affirmative action. with us are the incredible leaders on organizations and incredible civil rights organizations -- leaders. . the president and director counsel of the legal defense fund, the vice president strategic initi

yes, we should be thinking about what we can fund, what we can support. but our job here is not to micromanage the faculty, micromanage the admissions process, be able to give them the tools, that's what we should be doing. but i think so often we're here in this hearing room trying to say that we're -- we know better than those that are living this day in and day out. and i find that to be a characteristic of human being ris that i find -- hubris that i find too often here in congress, trying to dictate how some of the most extraordinary leaders, some of them we have in front of us today are trying to guide our country going forward. so, look, we're going to have a lot of challenges getting through this today. i'm sure there will be some tense moments. i just ask us to please kind of think through the fact that every single person before us today is sharing the same goal that we have, which is how do we make sure that we have the kind of leadership that we need going forward to keep our country safe, to have a strong national security? we're all in it fo

need that help. >> we don't need to be about punishment we don't need to be about people sentenced we need to be getting people the service as well. the commitment we have here the sheriff's office does not have ambassador we have retirees that work in different areas. weep don't have police serve aids. what we have are deputies and we are moving our resources into specific yours of the city so the police department and they chief personnel is redirect resources to help everyone in the city. that's what our goal is when what we are working on and i'm happy torhere as we work toward that with budgets and the work we do on the ground. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you. another one of our public safety partners who has been doing an incredible job is our da brook jenkins. >> good morning, everyone thank you madam mayor for your dedication to the mission of public safety for san francisco. i want to echo something chief scott said, we are seeing a new time in san francisco. we are working together to solve the problems that are of top priorities to san franciscans this it is a new day w

we know that we we have to invest in it. and so now is for us to try to figure out how do we balance between maintain the print collection as well as the digital collection and how do we make sure that, you know, digital is kind of like the more money for the more you to going to get it's just inevitable it happens way. so not so much in terms of print but with the digital that's where i think we really have to figure out our strategies and how do we have ways that we can be more efficient in. we provide those resources to the customer, especially when we talk about the cost of digital compared to print. right. alan, the word choice has been mentioned a couple of times here now and that sounds wonderful as a library user, as a consumer, i like i love choice. great. but it sounds like a challenge too for for libraries and library budgets choice. is that what you're seeing in connecticut as well that that's what you're your users want. yes. you i want to echo what lisa and edward said about choice. i a i was a library director

we are looking at central banks. we are looking at the big ones. msci asia-pacific s&p futures flat. the spread between twos intends. that is a bit of a conundrum. we have another fed meeting. we could see the interest rate hike that has been flagged. the biggest economy is -- the biggest problem is the u.s. economy has defined this idea that the tightening cycle could bring the economy crashing down. it has not done so far. what is going to stop them going up and up with the cost of borrowing because the economy keeps growing? they have every right then i suppose to ultimately just go and hope nothing breaks i suppose ultimately. yvonne: i think i asked amy chair patrick last week about how the go to oxnard is going to ask. she said that is like asking how long a piece of string is. it could go on for a while. the central bank. decisions we talked about not just the fed, ecb and boj. you have chile talking about a massive cut. bank of indonesia as well. there is still a lot to glean. we saw have the china politburo meeting to contend with. expecta

we are limited. we sell the crop, we get a government payment. we have to have more revenue streams, particularly for small and midsize producers. you need the conservation resources to get the environmental result that can be marketed or sold. there's tremendous opportunity. >> in spirit, incentivizing farmers to do things on conservation, i have heard only positive things from farmers who want those incentives. i hope we have a conversation based in fact and what helps our farmers. i know you've gone a few questions. chinese ownership of american agricultural land of food manufacturing, food production. tell me your topline philosophy on foreign purchase of agricultural land and components to the sector? >> the top five countries in the world today that own american agricultural land are canada -- >> we love our canadian brothers. >> this is the point. in terms of chinese ownership, it is less than 1% of 1%. it's a relatively small amount. the real challenge is a structure and system we can get more consistent information about, foreign ownersh

and so, we have now, we are going out and we are executing more search warrants. we'll get more information, more data and together, we will look at that and see where it leads. >> can you share with other victims families are feeling today? >> i'm sorry? >> did you speak to the other victims families and it did they tell you how they are feeling today? >> this investigation had to do with these four victims, so we been in touch with the four victims to the grand jury process. with regard to victims in general and other victims, you know a lot of people in the vicinity of that area, we speak to our victims all the time. but those are conversations that we keep between ourselves. >> one victim that is not been linked to the charges to the suspect at this point. >> so, it's -- principal, the other three, one was missing in 2009. others in 2010. she was in 2007. so, it was a little bit more remote in time. we are, we are working through evidence. a lot of the evidence has to do with forensic evidence. and analyses that are not completed. but once those analyses are c

it is so important that we invest in public health, that we invest in the workforce, that we invest in the information technology and the data for public health and i think sustainable funding for public health now and in the future is critically important as we continue to work through the covid-19 and lung covid as well as prepare for the next pandemic. the second is how critically important it is for local state federal and international public health authorities to work together. i think we have made a lot of progress with that in the biden harris administration, working with state health officials. i was the state health official during the first year of covid. with our local health officials and we had many discussions first online and now in person with our colleagues in the state and local governments to make sure we are in sync. the other is those social determinants of health. so you can't look at medical care in isolation. we have to look at these other social factors that influence health. to me, the work done at the department of congress -- commerce is a health issue. the

we, as an industry are your partner. we look as we come into states of how we can educate. how we can create jobs for people for all walks of life. we think that is something very important. the industry now has over 100 billion in annual revenue. this is a study out of the american gaming association. this year alone four out of every 10 individuals either has planning to be in a casino environment. i leave you with two thoughts. number one, we as an industry whether it is myself as chairman and ceo of hard rock or caesars or mgm, or sandal or draft king, we are unified one 100% that the biggest challenge we have in the united states is the topic of illegal gaming whether it is offshore, whether it is and what we call strip centers with hybrid games, we want to work with you as the leaders of your state to eliminate these games, bill miller who is the ceo of the american gaming association and i are working with this at the federal level specifically the department of justice. we are also work with other law enforcement agencies. but when you see these numbers we know fact

yes, we love her. we love her. and so with that, you know, i'm going to let you sit down while we bring up shamann. throw the flags in the air and wave them like you just don't care! it is juneteenth. it is juneteenth and here's shamann walton, board of superriser. >> thank you so much felicia. real quick before i say a few words. i you want to stand up if you black. stand up if you black. so, i did that because i just wanted to see who claim us. so, i know when i walk outside. thank you everybody. you can sit down. so, first of all, as you know, juneteenth is a celebration, and it is celebration of a time period where slaves in texas did not realize and understand they were free and this was in 1865. and it took us all the way till 2022 to be recognized as a national holiday, but i want to thank everyone in this room. i want to thank all the leaders in the city. i want to thank everyone across the state and country to come together to make sure juneteenth is recognized as a national holiday. you did that. give you

saturday if we are should we? professional audits so we always come back to that will be clear, i support on its is not quite that are preconceived done by people who have a political perspective and people are not professionals. >> thank you all for your incredible service and your focus on the county.i have a harder question. i think which is that ai is going to make disinformation fiber powerful and allow a person who's been trained on heat or disinformation you have a box about how you and me as people who care about democracy can actually use the tools to partly get out had and help pursue regulations against vr? >> we have to start by talking about it more we need to plan for 24 and beyond but we're starting to do that in michigan and looking at solutions but i'm buying training as well. understanding all the potential problems, potential owner abilities and benefits i'm beginning to see some positive use of and we had not i believe and continue to be said of time and energy in having these conversations. >>

and so one of the ways we do that is we raise our hands we are always raising our hand that maybe we race them higher always say what is the escalation pattern for that? i think that is what is desired of us very much does your staff feel their concerns were not heard loudly enough in washington? >> i don't think can say that. no. to be very clear i cannot say that. this is not a failure of a specific group really detailed this. this is a step back but let's look at the process let's find the process of deliberation. when you think about deliberation i want to be very clear, why are supervisors deliberative? because they want to be careful. they want to be rights. give private sector companies doing jobs they want to make sure they are not over and under correcting to do not want to ratchet down the financial system out of fear. so you want to be careful. you can easily move yourself one way or another. so this is aic delicate balancey teams are going to work in teams across the system and do their best work. quickly ask you one final question on this before return to the q audience.

we have conferences we do all overnight country and we have concerts that we feature bay area women and gender artists. [music] [music] >> an education forward organization. and so advocacy organization. dedicated to closing the gender gap and the audio and production industries. >> started out of the lead answer, why is there a critical gender gap in this industry that started at city college. why are there so few in this class i was ashamed i did not have the answer being a feminist. why have i never thought of this i have been in the industry for decades and why have i accept today of all people. it was out of that and unraffling it. actually started the infernship last fall and just fell in love with all the things about women's oshg mission because we are diverse and so many aspects of audio i did not know and i feel like eyes opened up and i gained a lot of confidence in myself and other fells and queer people in the industry i felt there was more connection and community. ironically my time in the industry is all pretty good. i think what happened is i was raised by a father who

and we come in, and we think we have the ability to figure this out.and then, what's the longer term commitment, that we are showing? you know, for the afghans, it seemed the republican government, it seemed it seen the soviet occupation, it seen the civil war, it seen the taliban, and now to see us come and go. what is their timeline? so, we are there in these communities, saying we are here forever, and they knew we were not. and then lastly, if you have this project, well, we will get the local community to stand up for its own security forces. and our assumption is that we will leave at some point, and we will quickly tie them into the central government. but the central government was never going to show up in a reasonable period of time. what's close with what -- had raised, and this idea of, what is the central problem that we are trying to fix, when we go into a particular place? and dawn, i agree with you entirely. once a couple of years ago, i went to a very large african country, there is a problem with boko haram, which i won't mention the
