we have a line in our book that we will clog. discussions are for adolescents what cuddles are to infants, necessary for brain development. students need more agency and to feel they have a reason for being there. it needs to be more relevant, more tied to the real world. the construction and studio example was powerful. we will wrap it up there and then do some q and a. can we have a round of applause for our fabulous panel. we have a microphone going around the room. who has a question? i need a green sweater, please. -- in the green sweater, please. >> i'm a high school teacher. i have four high school students here. we have been discussing the topic on and off. i like that you talk about lots of stakeholders like , what does the field look like, throw and catch. who are the throwers, who are the catchers? the catchers are the students. are we paying attention to them? we are in a different generation of history and human development. these students come up whenever we are throwing to them, are they interested in catching or a

everywhere we look we are looking at up people and backsliding where we see new and reemerging threats, climate, conflict political instability and overall an erosion of the institutions that we relied upon. help us to frame the outset and i will let you riff. frame your own thinking, what would you say are the two or three biggest challenges that we face? what are the chief causes of those? and what are the consequences? and, all told, you know having the confluences of all of these forces, don't they always create tell multiple? what is different? >> i also want to pay tribute to president carter, he was a remarkable leader. i had the opportunity to meet him in early 1976 during the primary season when he was still jimmy who? i was deeply impressed and moved by his sincerity, honesty, and approach at a time when we are going through a period of domestic turbulence with the water great crisis input -- watergate crisis in particular. it is not working? sorry. oh. that's not so good. which one is not working, the room or the c-span? because i can speak to the room. no? ok. thank you. i

we are other thing in our life we are doing. so, and that said i'm happy to i love to continue in the area of diversion and prevention but if anyone else i den want to stands in the way of anyone else if that is -- your area. but i will say i'm happy to do this. but don't let me stand in the way if that's what you feel you really want to do. i appreciate you pointing that out member preston >> we are in the next agenda item. we are here. >> [laughter]. >> i'm happy to plug in where needed. i have you know i'm shelter and i'm good with i have if wore short on behavioral health i'm happy to switch over where we feel like i'm needed. i have been attending the 3 liaison meeting the entire time. so -- anyway. putting that out well and once i hear where everybody is i can throw my hat in. >> i don't have the capacity to beay liaison but love to. i'm sorry. this year. may be next year. i would offer to join the housing pipeline meeting and emergency sheller meeting or meetings as my schedule allows to support one or both. thank you. we

so we do this. we try to do an inner city. we invite wealth into the community. but we want to use that to foster and develop, you know, affordability in our city at the same time, know that i mean, i love that. i love that that this paradigm shift from or to and as a way of motivating of your approach to policy, you know, let me let me ask this and a data question here. you know, you talked a about the need for data on policy opportunities is like, you know, rent control. but what have you given thought to the specific kind of data points you think, you know, are really critical. yeah. i mean, one, you know, as i spoke about these investment firms that are coming in purchasing properties, just really the the real kind of pressure that that puts the economy, that it puts on the market. does it falsely drive prices up? you know, how do we soften what is a way to that to end or at least that? so we begin to kind of even out what are looking like the rising cost? what does it look like if we do have a statewide moratorium on rent control, if the cost of living incre

we are with you. we are not going anywhere. to the firefighters and first responders, you are heroes. any of these firefighters are out there risking their lives, while their own homes are in danger and their families are in danger. to the firefighters and first responders, it's not hyperbole to say that your heroes. your genuinely heroes. this is the most widespread, devastating fire in california's history. it's amazing, and there's nobody that understands it better than the press who have covered it on a minute to minute basis and these firefighters literally have to run into the flames. god made man and he made a few firefighters who run into the flames. their own families may be in harms way as well. so we owe you, and we will make sure you get every resource you need, every possible resource you need. there are families who have been evacuated and are living through a nightmare. i promise you, we will help you get through this and eventually recover and rebuild. i'm going to turn it now over to the vice president before w

into what we we we do now. and so i'll start with the city's fiscal outlook. the city is projecting a general fund deficit of 876 million over the two year budget cycle or $253 million shortfall in the coming year and then that balloons to 623 million in the second year of the budget. >> really the key drivers are the rate of expenditure growth in the city is far outpacing our general fund revenues over a five year view expenditures if they stay on the same track are growing by 1.7 billion and revenues only expected to grow by a little over half $1 billion. >> some of these increases are being driven by salary and fringe benefit costs for city employees is we have more than 32,000 employees and 305 million of the increase and the second year of the budget is attributed to that 55 million of the deficit is sort of tied into our budget. so it assumes that you know, the one time shelter cliff that we've been talking about is that there there is it is included in the deficit and why is that good? we want the mayor'

are we a republic or are we a democracy? we are both. we are a democratic republic and a republican form of government with democratic principles which if you bring the founders here it would be like did you read the greeks or the romans? they used different words to use these things. i actually find that fight is a bit of falling. it is wordplay at best and don't know the distinctions matter for most of the things we do in the united states but i appreciate the we do have a problem of people wanting to exercise a right they haven't turned in some peoples eyes. i disagree with that. if you are here, 18 and over, meet all the criteria for a voter in your state you should be able to do this and yes, it is better if you are informed but it is not disqualifying if you are not. it is not the system we have. we disagree on that but agree on other pieces. >> i didn't say disqualified, i think they shouldn't vote if they don't know what they are doing. if they haven't registered or done the work and don't vote that is not like doesn't really bot

we know 3:00 p.m. we are working towards 2:30 p.m.. prior to game time the kickoff bourbon street will be restored. we are hard at work now. and of course now working with the community to serve our public and serve our residents. and our visitors alike. >> in closing i want to assure right now in the city of new orleans there is an unprecedented amount of law enforcement resources that are being utilized to close out downtown and finalize the investigation. i want to thank the fbi at all of our federal partners for the amount of resources they have to work into the city. this type of event can happen in any city. and that's the tragedy of it. i think it is important for people to understand that to protect our citizens in america from people, you have to crush it. you cannot go out there and placate it. you cannot go out there and say i will put this in place and hope people does not show up on your doorstep because it will. you have to crush it. and that's what we will do here. we will put it all behind us. we will continue to keep t

when we say we want more veterans or folks with military experience, we say that's really valuable, right? and i agree. i agree though that the same way we think about veterans having distinct lived experiences that would matter for policy discussions, women in our country and women of diverse back runs have distinct -- diverse backgrounds have distinct lived experiences but most every measure, education, health, economically and so we should value those experiences in similar ways. host: let's hear from tina in tennessee, line for democrats. good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead, tina. caller: ok. i was calling to say that my mother went to vanderbilt university and she was a secretary at my high school. i wanted to be an engineer. so i applied, my first choice was m.i.t., and i got a letter back like three days later that basically said, it didn't say you must be stupid, it just said, in case you haven't heard, we don't accept women. so i applied to my second choice, i didn't want to stay in nashville where i lived, was georgia tech and i got the same letter back. i didn't

what are we looking at? where are we coming from? where are we now? >> absolutely.'m glad to be or if the american institute i've been tracking the pandemic fall out since the pandemic began. this is sort of the tail end of that. i will admit i was hoping to track chronic absenteeism as an antidote at cocktail parties were i was always this thinker with the bad news. i was looking to have this -- we were going to turn the chronic absenteeism around quickly. and i'mnd still at the cocktail party we have some time to go. on the chronic absenteeism first, on the basics chronic absenteeism is the percentage of k-12 students missed 10% of the school year for any reason. allas the things are important. the reason it's different from truancy. that's how much of you miss school at all it's important to gather thatth because school is good. school benefit students pair when the miss a lot of it they miss out on some o of those benefits but we know chronic absenteeism is important indicator because the students that meets it art missing about 18 days a year. that's about at l

we we know. so before we get to that, there's one detail, the garden and it ties into what happens when it disappears. we know from one documentary source that there were three lead statues in this garden of apollo, bacchus and venus. these classical statues, i mean, and that is just over the top for a garden and early 18th century virginia to have something like that. pretty common in english gardens, but they have that here in virginia. that really shows how elaborate this garden was. okay. now, what happened to the garden after custer's died? he was the one who was really into this garden, his son and his new wife, martha, who eventually becomes martha washington. they don't do anything with this property. they shut up the house and they just kind of sits here. when george and martha get the property, they auction off everything out of the house and they start to rent the property. well, you know what happens when you start to rent properties and nobody wants to care for this big, elaborate ga

that's who we are. that's who we are.it many times before, we are the only country on earth founded on an idea. every of the country is founded on geography, religion, or some of the unifying factor. but america is built on an idea, on an idea. that idea was all men are created equal. the idea that has inspired the world for 250 years and counting. we are always reaching do better, always looking to the future. we are at our best, always seeking progress for our people and for people everywhere. it's been the honor of my life to serve as your president. today i'm optimistic about her future, , as optimistic as eithr the been. we are the trend of america, for god's sake. there is nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. we do it together and commit, nothing. thank you all for all you have done. i hope many of you are going to be staying in the next administration to keep this moving. may god bless you all. may god protect our troops. thank you.

we like the consumer in particular and we like tech.es, we are less bullish on some of the bond proxies because we don't see yields coming down significantly. we don't see the support to defensive coming from lower bond yields. and the sector specific drivers that we are pretty unexciting for utilities. now we know healthcare had a pretty significant move down before christmas on the back of novo. i have seen it well take time for investors to get confident to come back into the name. short-term is a bit of wait and see on this name. >> for the time being, we are witnessing the wait and see with the novo nordisk positioning. we'll speak again. thank you for your time today. >>> coming up on the show, data shows uk retailers had a little less christmas cheer last year. we'll breakdown the figures and the latest house price data as well. join us after this break.

we make this work. if we can't, we understand. ok. we made a great relationship of it. i want to be involved and i want to make sure i go around and educate people. do some speaking tours. i think i can tell people that there is a lot more to be thankful for and a lot more to hope for then saying we are divided. it you are not divided. up here wants you to be divided because his is -- this is the business. the republican business is to divide you and make you hate the other side. look at the other side. maybe they have a pretty good idea. the first person is always right. i can learn from each. you try to work together but it takes a little bit of time. host: thank you for spending time. sen. manchin: i enjoyed c-span. you guys have been so great. what a public service. what a public service. thank you. i tell people, npr, c-span, go to where you are going to hear the facts and not editorialize and make me believe something because you might believe it or that is your program. you all put the facts out there and let the citizens make a decision. host: are you going to k

we shall promise only what we know we can produce. but as we chart our goals, we shall be lifted. our dream. no man can be fully while his neighbor is not to go forward at all is to go forward together. this means and white together as one nation, not to the laws have caught up with our conscience. what remains to give life to what is in the law to ensure it last. that is all our bar in equal and dignity before god all are born in dignity before a man. as. we learn to go forward together at home. let us also seek to go forward with all mankind. let us take as our goal. peace is unknown. make welcome. where peace. fragile. make it strong. where peace is temporary. make it permanent. after a period of confrontation, we are entering an era of negotiation. let all nations know that during this administra ation, our lines of communication will be open. we seek an open world, open to ideas, open to the exchange of goods and people. a world in which no people, great or small, will live in angry isolation. we cannot expect to make everyone our friend. but we try to make no one our enemy.

we had that we knew. so we did have it. and like i said, in this particular case, terrorists just went all the way around up onto the sidewalk and the lift gate. >> was there a vehicle like backing in and out to block that lift gate area, or was that just down in open? because that's what we've heard from the witness. >> captain. i'm the reason i'm calling the captain. he's the captain over that district, and that is a question i'm going to let him address for you. >> good evening everybody. i'm captain john roberts of the eighth district. yes, we did have a vehicle strategically placed right in front of the wedge, preventing access onto the roadway. roadway. >> and in terms of the framework of security that was already in place on bourbon street. i know this is an ongoing project of improvement, but with how that was all aligned, was someone getting up on a sidewalk considered impossible or nearly impossible, or was this not something you expected you would have to account for? >> yeah, of course it wasn't something we exp

and if we have an election hell, we will, when no doubt, because yet we don't wish to start from the end. we wish to start from scratch to lay the foundation for sustainable political system. today. by forming this structure, we must have a solid grounds and put our people on the right path in order to be able to choose their future government and see what's our president without any price or institutional domestic. and i'm old for him. this week was not on the for use, but many, many years. when we speak of the constitution, we speak about new drafting with a representative of all the specs to the whole people when we speak of a state structure it. so it'd be in a preventative all of the entire population. this requires a great deal of time. and as you know, half of the population is abroad and half of our territory is of our beyond that going to the authority of the center administration in damascus. all these matters of glass are required to be resolved quickly without any intervention, domestic or florida from you. there is a k take, a government has mandate expires in march. i'l

. >> now, if somebody's going to help us, are we helpless? what do we do? who do we call? i don't know. >> now, those three families did apply for assistance through fema, and we were actually interviewing them when they got this response. all three of them got the same response that their housing assistance and personal for the people living in this, they say perhaps fema needs to make this bureaucracy for victims a little bit simpler. erin. >> yes. all right. kyung, thank you so very much. and thanks so much to all of you for being with us. ac360 starts now. >> and good evening. we are coming to you yet again tonight from a staging area along the the pacific by the pacific palisades, along the pacific coast highway, where law enforcement officers, firefighters and others, some national guard members. now the national guard has been called in. there are some here on the ground are all using this as a staging ground for battling the palisades fire, which is one of two the two biggest fires which are still about 10% or so contained. there is a lot of work being done. you ca

so when we look back on this, we we know that we did what we could for others. i look at the people who are out there on the line. last night, the winds were like something that i have never seen before. firefighters, police officers, deputies. they were out there sheltering in their vehicles, their trucks and their cars so that they don't end up getting burned from the fire that was being driven by 75 plus miles an hour winds. they were there until they could get out of the car and go back to doing their work. as you can imagine, a very difficult circumstance to deal with. these are, as i mentioned, unprecedented conditions, but also unpredictable. as the fire continues to spread and pop up in different locations, none of us know where the next one is going to be. so i would ask you to be vigilant, to look at your neighborhood, to talk to your neighbors, to have everybody on board so that if they see some something start up, that we get on it very quickly. we get fire resources out there as soon as we possibly can, because with these winds, once it starts small

we will see what we get. i agree with you. actually get from the upcoming administration. lisa: and whether you can have your cake and eat it too. a lot of people are talking about how big tech can keep driving u.s. equity performance even though you have higher neutral rates and you have some signs that may be the optimism has been overplayed in markets. that is the mix that kind of feels a little bit like tension right now that needs to break one way. lisa: up by 1% on the nasdaq 100. jonathan: big move on the s&p 500. the russell down by more than 8% in december. back to back, november, best month of the year for the small caps. december, worst month of the year for the small caps. coming up this hour, we will catch up with stuart keiser as the s&p 500 notches it's second consecutive end of year gain of over 20%. we begin this hour with stocks higher, looking to snap a multi-day losing streak as the s&p 500 clinched its best two year run since 1990 eight, boosted by ai enthusiasm and fed rate cuts along the way. looking ahe

we have a lot of work to do to make the biggest impact we have. -- we can.e had to stop the study, people were losing too much weight to stay in it. at first this was seen as an alarming thing. but of course we began to process that as, wait a minute this could be something very special. ♪ david: in the pharmaceutical world the image is not always so wonderful with the public. how do you respond to the idea that drug companies are charging too much and very often people in the united states say i am going to cross over to canada and get the same drug for a lower price? dave: obviously, it's something we want to change and fix. we think what we do is valuable. for an artifact of history and how health care insurance evolved in this country, people are largely shielded from surgery costs and hospital costs. about 3% of total cost in this country are paid by consumers. for medicine it is close to 20%. people think the medicines are a larger part of the health bill because they're exposed to more of that versus services. the second thing is, you know, foreign co

we will test and understand ai before we regulated to make sure that when we do it it is proportionated in the science. but, at the same time, we will offer the political stability the business needs and of course are british values, centuries long heritage rooted in democracy and the rule of law. put simply, our message to those at the frontier of ai capabilities as this, we want to be the best state partner for you anywhere in the world. that is the measure of our ambition. and to help us achieve that we are notjust accepting matt's recommendations, we are bringing him into my team in numberten so he bringing him into my team in number ten so he can help develop it. number ten so he can help develop it— number ten so he can help develop it. number ten so he can help develo it. ~ ., ., ., develop it. we are going to say aoodb e develop it. we are going to say goodbye to _ develop it. we are going to say goodbye to our _ develop it. we are going to say goodbye to our viewers - develop it. we are going to say goodbye to our viewers acrossl goodbye to our viewers across the world. but re

we were entrepreneurial when we were kids.now this is hard for you and i know you don't want to talk to me, thank you for coming on. what is left of your house? >> i haven't seen it yet. different chat groups, there's folks that are going through the neighborhoods and sending pictures and video clips. we have it from a reliable source that our house is gone, the entire neighborhood is basically gone. i have seen maybe on other news reports one or two houses standing. i don't know how many hundreds, if not thousands of houses over several blocks that are all gone. >> your law has lived in that house for 33 years, 34 years, something like that? >> pushing 35 years, i think. >> you just moved back with your own family. you've got a couple of small kids. they were going to school there, right? >> yes. it is gone. >> what are you going to do? >> will, you know the first thing once we got out of there when it became apparent it was no longer safe. we grabbed what record. honestly, we didn't take a lot because it is kind of unfathoma

we need care and we need help. >> trace: yep.s change, do you think that we see change or do we just kind of fall into the same? >> i want you to know that i have changed overnight. waking up to homes being destroyed and children's memories destroyed will change a person and i will tell you that every single resident right now who is having to be evacuated, who is watching these fires, who has lost a home or who is in fear of losing something like this will immediately reestablish their priorities and absolutely this is a time for change. hope is the key to creating change and los angeles, i cannot say that this tragedy is a gift, but what i can say is it is going to force us to the reality of what matters most, our children, our future, the future of the communities we love, and what we have built in the past and what we are already to build together and what we have been doing for the last 48 hours and we will continue to do so until everybody is taken care of. >> trace: how would you respond to that? >> i think of two statemen

he told me, i hope we will. we hope we can. he is going and hoping he can do this and it won't be one of those moments where we see the house plunging into chaos where they go round after round after round. he can only lose one republican. we are expecting he will lose thomas massey. he said he will not vote for johnson today. there could be anywhere between 12 to seven other defectors, others who might put in another name today. we could see some folks vote present. they have to be careful because that changes the math and if there are too many present votes, they could tip the scales. all of this starts right now. we are going to see this quorum call coming up. you see steve's police on the house floor. johnson has been meeting with some of the holdouts trying to get them on board. we know trump has been making phone calls to these holdouts. notably, he has not been able to talk with thomas massey, but he has talked to others. we will see if trump's pressure, conversations will eventually help johnson sealed the deal in the f

we cannot afford to do everything, nor can we afford to lack boldness as we meet the future. together, in a spirit of individual sacrifice for the common good, we must simply do our best. our nation can be strong abroad only if it is strong at home. and we know that the best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation. to be true to ourselves, we must be true to others. we will not behave in foreign places so as to violate our rules and standards here at home, for we know that the trust which our nation earns is essential to our strength. the world itself is now dominated by a new spirit. peoples more numerous and more politically aware are craving, and now demanding, their place in the sun -- not just for the benefit of their own physical condition, but for basic human rights. the passion for freedom is on the rise. tapping this new spirit, there can be no nobler nor more ambitious task for america to undertake on this day of a new beginning, than to help shape a just and peaceful world that is truly humane.

distress when we start. that is why we titrate, we start at a low dose and go up slowly. almost everybody stays on the drug and goes through that. usually by the third or fourth month you don't have any more effects at all. david: suppose you take the drug and say i lost weight. happy with my body now. i'm going off the drug. some say it's difficult to not regain the weight? dave: that's right. science tells us that there's a reason for that. some people do maintain the weight reduction or stay in that range. they have to change a lot about how they live. burn more energy. eat different foods. so we can all try that. i think we should all try that actually. but some people cannot. and there's a recent paper in "nature" that told us why. which is that once you have become obese, your fat cells learn that that's their new state. and they defend that state. and so they are wanting more energy. and that send signals to your brain and so forth. so once we as adults gain weight and have that on for a while it's very, very difficult to reset your thermostat if you would. to rese

well, we know that if we despise our own government, we have no future. we recall and pressure time, but we have stood briefly, but magnificently. united in those times. no prime was beyond our grasp. we cannot rule upon remember glory. we cannot afford to drift. we reject the prospect of failure or mediocrity or an inferior quality of life for any person. our government must, at the same time, be both competent and compassionate. we have already found a high degree of personal liberty, and we are now struggling to advance equality of opportunity. our commitment to human rights must be absolute. our long prayer. our natural beauty reserve. the powerful must not persecute the weak on human dignity must be enhanced. we have learned that more is not necessarily better. but even our great nation has its recognized limit and we can neither answer all questions nor solve all problems. we cannot afford to do everything. nor can we afford the like. boehner. as we meet the future together in a spirit of individual sacrifice for the common good, we must simply do o

we need to be prepared and we need to prevented the best we can.raditional law-enforcement reacts after crime has happened. a reactive criminal justice system but if the goal as you say is to stop an act of terror before it happens how can law-enforcement do that consistent with the fourth amendment protections that we give uncharged people in the country. that seems to be the tension reacting after her murder versus preventing a murder that requires a different skill set. >> it requires a lot more people within the country to become part of the solution. you were in congress i think what are the biggest impediments to the sharing of the threat information is section 230 of the communications decency act which protects social media platforms from being liable for things that are posted on their platforms. how many times do we have to hear about manifestoes and other disturbing information that is being posted by people that commit these horrific crimes and acts of terror within the united states. it's time that the social media companies are put in

comm'r khan: we are monitoring and we are up to 12. mr. baer: one thing that the biden administration did that was designed to have an executive branch, be a independent agency wide impact is his july 2021 executive order on competition establishing a competition council. as you look back in terms of that order, what impact did it have? it seemed to me from afar that it was empowering the f.t.c. and antitrust division to work more closely direct it them to be involved in decision as it could impact competition, consumers. what is your overall assessment of that executive order? comm'r khan: it was an emmen's ly significant executive order and credit to them for prioritizing. there is so much going on the first six months of an administration and to say i will prioritize an order on competition takes people recognizing the importance of it. i think it did a few things. first it told a story why competition matters and what happens when competition declines and the e.o. notes that it can mean higher prices and lower wages but also affects bu

as jeffrey said, we need to partner wherever and whenever we can, but we need to be clear about who we are negotiating with. when you look at what happened in december, we had a deal, and speaker johnson walked away from that deal. so who are we negotiating with? are we negotiating -- is hakeem negotiating with speaker johnson? is he negotiating with the incoming president? or is he negotiating with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy? who is on the others of the table? it makes it very difficult to figure out how to work together. host: if you would like to speak to our guest, back about -- becca valent -- balint of vermont, there are numbers. you can start calling in now. you are on the judiciary committee. what is your view of president-elect trump's nominee pam bondi as attorney general, cash patel as economic director, and tulsi gabbard for dni? guest: cash patel as a nominee for fbi director has literally said i am going to go after the press. i'm going to go after journalists. this does not happen in a healthy democracy. this is what happens when we are sliding toward authoritarianism
