they must work with the private sector and academia. no less important are investments in stem education, programs that develop junior talent into future tech leaders of policies that promote an environment in which global collaboration, discovery, innovation, public institutions, and industry can thrive. i had an opportunity to read dr. schmidt's statement and i want to thank you because it provides a kind of reality test for us, and how do we continue to do many of the advances that we've been working on, and you note those in your statement very clearly. but also build an architecture that is going to bring us into the future and certainly respond to the needs of the men and women who go to war on behalf of our country. i look forward to hearing your testimony today. thank you. excuse me. and i yield back. >> without objection, both of your written statements will be made a part of the record. i do want to comment, dr. griffin, that nobody's read yours because we just got it. and i think it's important. i realize that when you're an

brian: i want to ask you about academia. one of the funders, nicholas brady, was a senator and secretary of the treasury. [video clip] mr. brady: i will support the constitution of the united states. i come from 30 years in the banking business. and though you don't hear the term anymore, i was always taught the best loan you could make was a character loa one that looked beyond hard numbers and took a leap of faith and counted on the character and strength of the individual involved. brian: do your students pay any attention to the fact that this man comes from the republican party, paid money for this course, does that matter? has he tried to steer you in a certain direction? mr. gaddis: no. we had one piece of advice from nick when the money came and the endowment was set up. i asked him, mr. brady, thank you for your generosity. what should we do with your money? he said, teach common sense. that is all he ever said. it was wonderful advice. so that allowed us huge leeway in setting up the course. he has never tried to t

general hayden said the intel community like law enforcement officers, like people in journalism, like academia, the one thing they have in common that donald trump is attacking is they are fact-based. they don't always get the facts right but they are driven by facts and that is something that obviously doesn't play in donald trump's benefit so he has to attack. do you agree with general hayden's assessment? >> i do. we ran into this almost immediately on january 6 of 2017 when we went up to trump tower to brief then president-elect and his team on the intelligence community assessment and right a away and i think the president has been consistent that anything that casts doubt on the legitimacy of his election he has problems with. so that was the bad news, the truth to power we were serving up to him and that's been an issu issue. we have alternative facts and relative truth and that's anathema to anyone in the information business. >> one thing you used to do in your previous incarnation is you used to go up every january and february and give the threat briefing and line up the major threa

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

a pleasure to see all old friends from the intelligence community, from the think tank and world of academia and other agencies around town. and even some media friends i have made over the years, so thank you for having me today. in the interest of time i'm going to cut right to the chase, and try to identify a core question. and give you my thoughts on that core question and hopefully frame the discussion that we have on the panel, but also during the q and a. so, the core question i have been thinking a lot about is what exactly is putin going to do in the next six years, now that he has won reelection? does have a strategy? what does he really seek to achieve during this timeframe? i'm not even going to get into whether he is running again in 2024. some of you may have seen that story out of of chechnya. their already floating balloons for a story that somebody might want to put in the constitution for 2024, that is a whole -- what's to amend the constitution for 2024, that is a whole subject unto itself. i'm going to focus on the next six years. so if i look -- by the way, i think every

i was treated well in this country when i go to into academia, and our students need to be prepared for the world. host: all right. in some other headlines, the "washington post" reports that president trump's now former attorney met with russians at trump's tower. at trumpohen met tower in new york days before the inauguration with a russian billionaire who was sanctioned this year by the u.s. government. host: charlie is on the line calling from roslyn heights, new york. charlie, do you think that college commencement speeches have become too political? caller: no, not at all. the conservatives have been political since the beginning of time in this country, and when the liberal progressives start speaking up and getting more political, all of a sudden they say it is more political. i think it is good to educate the students of reality and the world, just like the other speaker said. i think there is some confusion as to be in a progressive and be at a liberal is. it is not just being a woman or a black -- that does not mean you are a progressive. just because they are a woman or a bl

academia went crazy. that were some medians loved reagan but even comedians making fun of them. people said he's an idiot, this is what happens when you get an idiot elected president of the united states. this was dumb. but they were wrong. the scientists were wrong, the media was wrong, the soviets were wrong. the cold war ended. >> neil: what is interesting, president the president walked out of that and stuck to his star wars dream as it were, is there was a collective wisdom within the bureau that hey, this guy is crazy. he's crazy. there's a benefit of being deemed crazy. i mean that in a good way. i wonder if there's a sense here, maybe the chinese, the north koreans, we can't figure this guy out. we can't figure donald trump out. we have to dial this back. what do you think happens now? >> yeah, that heralds all the way to a famous statement, that sometimes in the interest of a print to famed madness. i can tell you at this level, neither one of these people are mad. the only thing to keep in mind, kim jong-un is not gorbachev. >> neil: you're right about that. we should

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

reporting around this informant said they were involved in many administrations, a long-term career in academia, it is natural they would be on the list. maria: house republicans want a second special counsel to look deeper into hillary's personal server on the ongoing russia investigation, that is another thing devon nunez is looking at and we are looking at hillary clinton's first email. >> a special calls for additional special councils to wander around town to follow that up. and it will be on the hill in those committees. maria: next johnston coming from the white house to a screen near you, a production deal with netflix could have him on some shows producing others. we will tell you about it. and elon musk's human is closer to reality. he is showing up incredible images. back in a moment right here. [music playing] (vo) from day one, we always came through for our customers. it's how we earned your trust. until... we lost it. today, we're renewing our commitment to you. fixing what went wrong. and ending product sales goals for branch bankers. so we can focus on your satisfaction. it's a

i compare and contrast with academia. we were looking with different stats a bit of a transition, segue, howie, looking at stats of commencement speeches, so far of 18 at top 100 colleges, 38 liberal folks, and three conservatives this was a disappointing number to me, because i like idea of diversity of thought. you ought to have just as many conservatives as you do liberals. i would think at a university of all places, you would want that, because again, the more ideas the better. but when you see the likes of nancy pelosi, hillary clinton, et cetera, what does it tell but the sort of next breed of journalists if you would being educated in these institutions? >> first tells me diversity in academia, not so much. separate from the commencement speeches when prominent conservatives supposed to speak on campus there is protests, sometimes they have to back out, all that is very sad day for free speech. i agree first six or eight months, a lot of the press was rooting for hillary to win. thought she won the popular vote, h

again, it's frustrating, steve, to see the mainstream media and others in academia now as well, take that hamas narrative and run with it at the end of the day, there is not much that separates hamas from isis over the past several years. hamas has fired rockets, missiles at israel suicide bombings, terror tunnels and all the rest. steve: i know it still, each the parents have reached out. nothing from the principal. eric, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you, steve. steve: going to step aside. jonathan turley coming up next. non-small cell lung canc . .non-small cell lung canc who'd say no to a...? who wouldn't want a chance to live longer. opdivo (nivolumab). over 40,000 patients have been prescribed opdivo immunotherapy. opdivo can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. this may happen during or after treatment has ended, and may become serious and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you experience new or worsening cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; diarrhea; severe stomach pain or tenderne

concur over the last two years we've made a lot of progress in promulgating such advice to not only academia with respect to the threats to other nations dates who are producers in the proprietary data we will continue to do that and work with associations and i would concur with your point the private sector leadership of the ceo level needs to be more active in the obtaining security clearances so that it can get done in a more effective and efficient manner. >> i want to pick up on the vice chair man's point with respect to zte specifically come and thank you for the visit we had in our office i thought it was helpful. in 2012, the houston solutions committee issued a nonclassified bipartisan report on national security issues posed by the chinese telecom companies, and one of them was zte. the report concluded the risks associated with zte provision of equipment to the u.s. critical infrastructure could undermine american national security interests. do you agree with that report? >> i do. >> now they recommended that the united states should be viewed with suspicion by continued penetra

december when she abouta medium post some of the harassment that she had experienced in her career in academia. blush people might think well it's a machine, how can it be biased? goes back to the data sets that humans these models and predictive models that they then apply to real life settings. so, for example, she and her coworkers a few years ago published by a predictive policing company. it's been around for a few i've covered them in the past. and this company makes a helps police who are out on the beat figure out which areas in a are most likely to have crime so it's not people, it's not quite like minority similar,ut it's you know. it will tell you maybe you should go check out the intersection of first street a. avenue at this time of day and see what might be so a lot ofere that output is based off of police records that maybe the police department has been gathering for a long time and so she and her coworkers looked at two things, you know. they looked at arrest to drugrelated crimes in oakland and compared them to public health data about who's most be actually using drugs in a

i love academia. that's where i'll leave it. but no plans to consider coming here? i have no plans. but you're not ruling it out? look, all i can say is i'm very happy with my currentjob. joining us is trevor greetham from royal london asset management. quite a lot of interesting stories in the papers. we picked out one from the washington post, we mentioned it earlier, the french oil giant total threatening to pull out of its gas project in iran. this is the business response to the political tensions at the moment between the us and iran. this is because america has talked about secondary sanctions. sanctions on companies that do business with iran. total is doing business with iran. total is doing business with iran and they have made a big deal of the fact 90% of their financing comes from us banks, but it shows you how difficult it is in business to deal with these uncertain to these, these what you might call trumpian uncertainties. if total pulls out you could feel the card is crumbling. it will affect other countries aside from iran in a big way. classic trumpet, go in with

i love academia. no plans to consider coming here? i have no plans. but you are not ruling it out. look, all ican you are not ruling it out. look, all i can say is i am very happy with my currentjob. later today president trump's business team, led by us treasury secretary steven mnuchin, will host the vice premier of china, liu he, for trade talks in washington. it is the second round of talks aimed at heading off a damaging trade war between the two sides following their meetings in beijing two weeks ago. the us has threatened to impose punitive tariffs on up to $150 billion in chinese goods, demanding a rebalancing of their trading relationship. the bbc‘s robin brant reports from dongguan, in southern china, which could be hit hard. if the trade war comes, this is where china will feel it — really feel it. dongguan is near the south coast, a place once dubbed the workshop of the world. in this factory, oil, lubrication, is everywhere. the smell of it is in the air, the feel of it under your feet. they make precision metal parts here, and they reckon up to 300 could be hit by

the smug of academia when professors who never ran a business in their lives, they live off taxpayers nickel, they're teaching this kind of stuff to students who really don't understand in the real world how jobs are created and what creates homelessness; right? >> right. well, they're teaching ideas based on emotion, not on actual facts. you can't look at any country in history ever that has been run by a purely socialist communist government. we always point to venezuela because that's because it's a key modern failure of socialism. it doesn't work on a national level or a citywide level. if you look at seattle, it has pumped millions and millions of dollars into the homelessness crisis and no reform has actually been accomplished. so what makes us think that them getting millions dollars more revenue from amazon alone is actually going t cba homelessness? . liz: everybody wants to fix the homeles problem. but the way to answer the question is how do you do it? and jfk said the best form of welfare is a job. and the rich didn't start out on third base. steve jobs, larry, howard schu

e promulgated such awareness and threat to not only academia and industry with respect to the threat to china and other nations who are stealing our proprietary data and trade secrets. we'll continue to do that and work with the association. i concur with your point. the private sector, leadership that is at the c.e.o. level needs to be a little bit more active in terms of obtaining security scleernses so that information that is classified can get to them in a more effective and efficient manner. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to pick up, mr. evanina, on the vice chairman's work to v.t.e. specifically, and thank you for the visit we had in our office. i thought it was very herphepful. now, in 2012 the house intelligence committee issued a nonclassified bipartisan report on national security issues posed by the chinese telecom companies. one of them was z.t.e. senator wyden: the report concluded the risks associated with z.t.e.'s provision of equipment to u.s. critical infrastructure could undermine american national security interests. do you agree with that bipartisan report? m

two years, we've made progress with the fbi and dhs in advice and awareness and threat to not known academia and industry from china and other nation states. we will continue to do that and work with the associations and i concur with your point that i think the private sector leadership at the ceo level needs to be more active in terms of ob staining clearances so that information that is classified can get to them in a more efficient manner. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to pick up mr. evanina on the vice chairman's point with respect to zte specifically. thank you for the visit we had in our office. now in 2012, the house intelligence committee issued a nonclassified by partisan report on national security issues posed by the chinese telecom companies. one of them was zte. the report concluded that the risks associated with zte's provision of equipment to u.s. critical infrastructure could undermine american national security interests. do you agree with that bipartisan report? >> senator, i do. >> now, they recommended that the united states should view with suspicion the continued

and once you get all the academia behind you, it still comes down to who are those who are less fortunate that we need to give more concern to? and that's where we are. and i'm hopeful that eventually that we can get there because they are the ones who wake up tomorrow with nothing on the table. and i yield back, mr. chairman. >> are there other amendments to title iv? well, everybody had a five-minute bite at the apple. are there other amendments? recognize mr. walsh for five minutes. >> that's why i'm going to yield to one of those smart people, mr. mcgovern. >> i thank the gentleman for yielding. i'm amazed at how this markup has evolved. in the beginning, my friends on the other side were talking about how these provisions were the greatest thing since slice bread. they were wonderful and then mr. davis basically said don't pay attention to what's in the bill. you may think it's bad but this is the beginning of a process. it will change and change and maybe get better. here is a radical idea. why don't we start off with the very best product we can? rather than something that nobody k

almost everybody i have talked to -- democrats, republicans, people in industry, people in academia -- they say this is years away. what i think a lot of these companies are looking for is two things. the first is standards, how good does the ai need to be? what does it need to do? the other thing they are looking for is to understand the current regulatory environment. spencer mentioned health care, things like hipaa, the health care privacy law, how is that going to apply if ai is making decisions about your health or aiding in a diagnostic? i think what the industry wants to know is how exactly to think about those issues before they look at any kind of new, broad-based ai regulation act. emily: you know so much about how much these companies are lobbying congress, what they're asking for, and what kind of money they are spending. talk to us about how lobbying efforts have changed or evolved over the last year under the trump administration. ben: i think you see this interesting aspect of lobbying in the trump administration. there are a lot of people who go straight to the white h

there is a lot of research that comes out of academia. but the drug companies are not the enemy. >> part of the enemy is the enormous amount of regulation that's requires the huge r & d. a lot of people end up dying waiting for the drug to come out. >> president trump gets credit for cutting through the regulation as well. charles: just a few hours ago spacex launched its newest version of its falcon 9 rocket. it carried a communications satellite from the government of bangladesh. the first stage landed several minutes later on a robotic drone ship off the florida coast, just barely missing the bull's-eye. coming up, stocks ending the week on a high note. we'll discuss that and what to look for next week. next. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher i

that came from government, academia, business, working together for how it evolves. i think you see the same thing in ai. reporter: today a select committee at the white house was formed across government agencies. the head of r&d for those government agencies to figure out how to use artificial intelligence better. the head of the white house science and technology office said this will increase productivity. artificial intelligence will help in health care and possibly save lives. it will mean displacement and some job losses. on that front industry leaders want to see the white house and this administration put money forward for training. already the trump administration has put in $200 million per year for stem and computer science training. the industry come on top and behind that added $300 million a year for that. with all the privacy concerns mostly at the white house they're concerned with the loss of possibly non-tech jobs. melissa. melissa: he wardlaw recognize, thank you for that. david: tensions escalating between israel and iran to say the least. is the

but also we can outsource to academia and journalists to help us in our research about the down stream consequences of these acts. we're going to continue working with facebook and the other social media companies and hope to make further disclosures about the organic con fent which in many ways far surpasses what was done in strictly advertising. the task in minimizing that to protect personal information is more substantial at that so that's going take longer -- substantial so that's going take longer. ms. pelosi: i'm sorry, we have votes. reporter: are you asking congressman cardenas to resign because of the sexual assault allegations?

they teach this in academia because this is an industry. it's a moneymaking multitrillion dollar industry that i wrote a book about. this bias is nonsense, and michael knows it. >> first of all -- >> laura: i will let you respond. i want to show a chart so people get some sense of where we are with unemployment. black unemployment, i guess whoopi goldberg thinks it's all obama. this is what it looks like. it's at 6.6%. it is a record low. that is something to celebrate. i don't care whether you are a democrat or republican. it has occurred under donald trump's watch. michael. >> okay, let me address a couple things. kevin come i don't know if you didn't get the memo but we are not colored people anymore. that's just not how we refer to each other anymore. let me address the unemployment record. if you look at when president obama came into office office, served in .5 is with the african-american on a plumbing record is. now it's a little under 7%. has president trump done some things that if contributed to that? yes. president obama dropped

our country that have specific expertise and cutting-edge technology that have prominent positions in academia and then they recruit them for projects on china or the chinese government and often times we don't have an understanding of what that program was or whether there was a quid pro quo. >> if they have a robust engineering program we have a lot of international researchers coming in and working in partnership with the university. we have the researcher engineer from china working on some stuff and he goes back to china maybe someone from maryland follows him back. i don't know. what the university be in jeopardy that they wouldn't be able to see the future federally funded research dollars? >> if that individual applied for the grant, the educational grant, they would have to certify whether or not they have participatehadparticipated in ae program in the past and from there they can decide. is that person to us-based researcher working with the chinese researcher? >> it's a us-based person as a part of their program. >> not to pummel a dead horse here but that is a problem the certific

if you look at the internet itself that came from government, academia business working together. you will see the same thing and ai. with any new technology to look at the implications of what they can do. but what we shouldn't allow it to do is prevent it from taking advantages of the real a benefit that can bring today. ed, we are watching this. good stuff with mastercard and what you are doing and to prevent fraud. that drives me nuts. we appreciate that. thank you so much. ed mclaughlin of mastercard when we come back we are watching as they hold onto the gains of 51 points. charlie gasper is going to be mad at me i get to hang out with carly kloss the supermodel. we will show you what she was doing. ♪ can i get some help. watch his head. ♪ i'm so happy. ♪ whatever they went through, they went through together. welcome guys. life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for you. metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one

said, i would issue one caution, and i do think that we've become a little bit more closed-minded in academia than in the past and that's probably not the students. students are always think they have the truth. look at the three of us, we're all bald, which means we went to school during the vietnam war times and there was no -- you're a little younger, ben, sorry. but -- >> don't get him mad. >> class of '68. >> no more tumultuous time than. that while we thought we knew earth, people pushed back and that was true among the faculty and media and intelligentsia, and i think right now the one thing i would say we have to worry about is those other three groups are not pushing back perhaps as hard as they should. >> thank you. mr. secretary, and then mr. chairman. >> well, i think the -- if we're optimistic, it's got to come from the young people, because all the issues we talk about today were about whether it's the national debt or the political system or some of the issues we didn't talk about, like climate exchange environmentalists. these are generational equity, and the thing that concer

become ak that we have little more closed minded and academia that we were in the past. that is probably not the students. students are always -- they always think they have the truth. look at the three of us, we are bald. it means we went to school during the vietnam war times. you are a little younger, ben, sorry. terrence: don't get him mad. ben: class of 68. edward: there was no more tumultuous time than that. the difference was where we thought we knew everything, there were people that pushed back. that was true among the faculty, among the media, and intelligentsia. i think right now, the one thing i would say we have to worry about is that those other three groups are not pushing back perhaps as hard as they should. terrence: thank you. mr. secretary than mr. chairman. , if we areink optimistic, it has to come from the young people. all the issues we talked about today were about whether it is the national debt or whether it is our political system, or some of the issues we didn't talk about like climate change and environmental risks. these are generally -- gene

a lot of these things are being worked on by funding and academia companies get involved in the later stages we went through that with zika there are ones funned by the government we haven't gotten across the finish line yed yet, west nile, we haven't seen that across the finish line either in a more immediate sense, they need to do mosquito control and go out with folks who are spraying today to get a sense on how that is shaking their business >> do miscoy tos occupy any e ecological niche >> i like this story, they are a food source for birds and other animals. >> you don't get rid of bats because of mosquitos you want bats around, a little place. >> the bat cave. yeah no, not like michael keaton. yeah >> and they didn't think he would be, either you know what i mean. >> he's my fate, michael keaton. >> better than talking about skeevie bedbugs. becky, that's her -- ooh everybody hates bedbugs. all right, we got to go. a big show big, big, really big show coming up on "squawk box" tomorrow, becky will be live at the berkshire hathaway annual meeting the lineup of ceos, including be
