law enforcement, academia we could go down the list, science. as general hayden said, all of the fact-based institution this is country has built its foundation on over the past several centuries. and i wonder if you do have to be a psychiatrist to figure out that that's donald trumps intent. >> i don't know if you have to be a psychiatrist or just a political analyst. he is going for the jugular. he's fighting as hard as he can to save himself and his presidency and he's attacking targets that let's be honest the public has had some suspicion for. the idea that there's a cabal of elitists in washington, that's something americans have felt for a couple centuries, this suspicion toward washington and central pow er. it's the cynical way that it's being exploited that i find disturbing. we depend on these agencies for our security as a country and bashing them everyday the way the president does causes harm. and to bash the news media -- it was only a decade or so that the arrival of cnn to cover a demonstration or protest in eastern europe and g

and it's just -- you now, it's time, once you're finished in government, you ought to go to academia and not to try to play the same role. lou: by the way, do we have the president talking about john kerry today? do we have that sound? can you bring that up? it's worthwhile for all of us to see that. it's terrific. let's turn to these remarks today by the president at the nra. great speech. >> very powerful. lou: we referred to love in the room there. i mean, there was a mutual admiration society at the nra -- between the nra and this president. >> very important constituency. and what he challenged them is to get out and use all of the powers that you have in the midterm elections and that's very important that they do that. they're powerful across the country because they've got a lot of active members. lou: and the trump economy, 34.9% unemployment, the lowest unemployment rate since 2000. the lowest hispanic and african-american unemployment ever. and jarrett is trying to take credit for it today. >> again, she should have left the government a long time ago too. at the end of th

your thoughts about what's going on in academia and why republicans don't take seriously about achieving ideological diversity. >> i work for turning point u.s.a. and this is what we are confronting head-on. i think ought reason democrats and republicans alike don't take it seriously because they don't understand how bad it has gotten. conservative thinkers are under attack. you have students against white supremacy that shout down student for capitalism. they are socialists. they refer to people who wear blue blazers as the symbol of white supremacy. i was at a campus in minnesota that said somebody wearing a blue blazer was the costume for white supremacy. lou: that is stunning. that's one i hadn't heard before. there is so much that's being ginned up by the left in this country. watching the dimms at gina haspel's confirmation hearing. those are some of the nastiest people i have ever seen. utterly disgusting. >> it's so typical unfortunately of democrats in the last 10-15 years for them to turn something so crucial and important as this nomination into a stupid partisan fight in whic

we engage the private sector and academia as needed. we bring in as many people as we can, because we recognize it is going to be and all of the above type of activity to answer these priority areas at the veterans administration's, as defined. >> actually, that is a perfect marriage, if you will. -- been able to do that, and thereby do away with stigma. --. do away with the -- to work with outside groups and make this a seamless as possible. i am going to come back to you with one more. these research partnerships have the potential to accelerate scientific breakers and healthcare systems and bio sciences. should the department replicate this model in other fields of research? and, what steps can we as congress take to facilitate that? >> i think the answer is yes, in terms of replication. our focal point right now has been on the veterans health data, and on the precision medicine data set, because of its unique complexities. because it comes with annotations with handwritten notes, with data streams, and imagery, and the collections

we engage the private sector and academia as needed. we recognize it's going to be an all of the above type activity to answer these areas. >> that's a perfect marriage, if you will, we're able to do that. there by, do away with the stigma, the nonability to work with nonoutside groups and to make this as seamless as possible. still going to come back for one more. these research partnerships have the potential to accelerate scientific breakthroughs and health care delivery systems and bio sciences. should the department replicate this model in other field of research and what steps can we take to facilitate that? >> i think the answer is yes in terms of replication. our focal point now has been on the veterans health data and on the precision medicine data set because of its unique complexities. it comes with annotations with handwritten notes, with data streams and imagery and the collections of multi modal data that talks to a situation in unique ways that is going to test how we develop predictive technologies, artificially intellig

partnershipse with labs, academia and the private sector are important. a concerted effort here well lead to innovation tied to design and development of the next generation supercomputing. two better health care in our strategy for medicine. it could inform when and how to treat our veterans. they specialize in healthcare with dlg experts. and a better government within public and private partnerships. thank you and i look forward to answering your questions. we now recognize mister meek for his testimony. and members of both subcommittees think you for having me here today. on september 112001 i waspt running operations for goldman sachs. as i watch the first responders running into the courage of that day. i'm still a financial services executive.to shoulder strong as a charitable organization committed to improving the lives of our servicemen, and veterans. it started with a quest from an forward operating base. for the deployed troops. we assembled and sent over 75,000 supplies. as the words went down we contemplated shutting down. in retrospect one
