let's take it up with trump 2020, katrina pearson. >> good to be here. elizabeth: should democrats say support us? >> i'm not sure they will do that just yet. but i will say that it is quite ironic how the tables have turned. and i think the left has donald trump, "medicare for all" brothers can show they are. the initiative that is part of the political arm already running as a may for democrats supporting a position on the immigration. the joke is the president said, coming from the assembly that that they are the ones that did not come to the table to handle the immigration issue to begin with. it is quite disturbing to see that you have a koch brothers now, i guess, trying to pick a fight with the american people and is not just donald trump it is president trump, he upset both sides of the apple card. the democrats and republicans alike and that's why people like him. now you have the "medicare for all" brothers essentially command saying, we are against the policies that donald trump is supporting to help americans for what exactly? i think that wi

and we get the candidates we want, and then a katrina comes. and ideologically they're lined up but don't know anything about leading. here you have ron desantis, dressing his baby in "make america great" outfits and reading bedtime stories, it's cute, clever. he's playing the trump card. what's going to happen when a category 5 storm goes across the i-4 corridor? will desantis be able to deal with that as well as putnam? no. nobody would begin to think that. it's lunacy. not just talking about this race, but this is how -- people ask, how do we get the katrinas, the poor leadership we get? and it is the stupid, dumbing-down ideologically on the democratic side and on the republican side. are they pro-choice? are they anti-gun? whatever on the democratic side? and same thing on the republican side. and nobody's looking for, are they a leader that can get my family evacuated when a category 5 hurricane comes in tampa bay? >> just to say we're going to have that problem, and didn't we already have that problem for two reasons? one, the risk of so

if you'll recall, after hurricane katrina we saw how discrepancies between wind damage and water damage on the total loss properties often prevented property owners from being made whole. there was a dispute between the flood insurance folks and the wind insurance folks and the property owner was caught in the middle. the coastal act and follow-up coastal implementation act seek to address these discrepancies with better data collection and more accurate post storm assessments. more specifically, we won't know if the national oceanic and atmospheric association to be able to assess the wind and water at affected sites, and with sound data the property owners can receive fair compensation for their losses. some perhaps from the flood insurance coverage and some from the wind insurance coverage, reducing cases of indeterminant losses would ultimately reduce costs to the national flood insurance program and better serve the public. my other reform proposal also seeks to arm us with better data. and i call this legislation the mima act, which stands for municipality empowerment mapping achi

at last but not least we have katrina cooper, ambassador cooper served as deputy chief admission of the australian embassy. and it's a position she assumed in october of last year, previously she served as australia's ambassador to mexico with nonresident accreditation too much of central america and before that served at fort moore's b and in chile and as senior legal advisor and in short she's had a distinguished career with the department of foreign affairs and trade which among other responsibilities manages australia's aid and development assistance program so thank you for being here today. let me start if i can with a broad general question, have each one of you comments from the perspective of your own particular agencies and government which is what is the role of development finance into the broader indo-pacific concept? we hear from secretary pompeo and secretary ross about the broader agenda. but i'd like to start by hearing from each of you about your perspective about why the region matters. your organization's activities and how that work ties into the broader indo-pacifi

that's when katrina lake founded stitch fix. today she's 35 years old and runs the $2 billion company and is the youngest woman ever to take a company public. we go way back. look at this. as embarrassing as it might be, that's me and cat in high school growing up together in minnesota. i wanted to be a lawyer. she wanted to be a doctor. good for her. we got together a few weeks ago for my latest boss files podcast. it releases this morning. here it is. you said, i'm not somebody looked at and said she's going to be a ceo. why? >> it really wasn't my aspiration. that wasn't the path i was putting myself on. people ask, was it stanford that did it? you were surrounded by all these entrepreneurs. >> then harvard. >> stanford is meant to be -- larry and sergei were -- >> i love you are on a first name basis with them. >> people sometimes ask me, was stanford the place that gave you the inspiration to be a entrepreneur? the crazy thing is, i almost feel like it deterred me. i looked at people like larry and sergei who were sitting i

and lying over all of this, this is something that you'll relate to very much, after katrina, there were so many evangelicals who i went to church with that we were -- we would do daily relieves after katrina over to mississippi and louisiana and they were shattered. their faith in george w. bush were shattered by what they saw on the ground in mississippi and louisiana that nothing was being done. well, the question, where are the children that mika has repeated over and over again. i'm hearing from evangelicals that supported him, this is not who we are. >> well, and you can hear about the russia investigation constantly, but in my opinion, that's not going to move voters. but my mom, my sister-in-law, they voted for trump. they do not like these babies who are separated from their parents. and that's a story that is just an albatross, as it should be. torturing children on the border of our great nation. and it's something that donald trump can't run away from. >> but they can vote according to their pocketbooks, steve ratner, and for that, many are doing you would say pretty well. >>

and that was shortly after katrina and florida was hammered by a bunch of hurricanes. and then we headed -- like a hurricane drought for ten years. everyone kind of goes to sleep. in my new book one of the chapters is back then actually around 2006 all these climate scientists were arguing about hurricanes in a warming world. some were saying, we don't really know the things about hurricanes is they could get weaker in a warming world, blah, blah, blah. but the one thing they all agreed on, they wrote this one letter that's in this book, where they said you know the thing we're really worried about, all of us, is we're building way too fast in hurricane danger zones. and that's the thing that -- that's the message that gets lost too often. >> right. it's a complex issue and every time these things pop up we try to visit it and check it. but we appreciate so much you taking the time. andrew revkin, environmentalist and science writer with national geographic society. >> great to be with you. >>> just around the corner, the u.s. midterm elections three months away, and p

you are talking directly with the president for instance it could be any number, the speech on katrina or the war in iraq or september 20, 2001 in that address to congress and the words that came out of the president's worth were "these demands are not open discussion. the taliban must act immediately. they will hand over the terrorists or they will share in their fate. from this day forward any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the united states as a hostile regime. americans should not expect one battle but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have seen t may include dramatic strikes visible on television and combt operations secret even in success." how did those words ultimately get spoken inside of the capitol building? john: specific reference to that speech would have been direction we got from the president, from dr. rice who at the time was the national security adviser. i don't remember, i saw the president a lot in the days after 9/11 because of the number of speeches before september 20, the thursday of the week following, and that w

like katrina or flint or pay police shooting. but again, what about the poor white man? the liberal white elite who have been raised with advantage but believe they have scrubbed themselves clean of it still tag the poor whites as the privileged ones. but how could they know? how could they know? they spent no time in his living room in the corner bar, the pistol range. to them, he is a louse and a bore a racist and to dig any deeper is simply an exercise in inconvenience. and they seem to think he resides only in appalachia although he lives right under their noses in boston to bakersfield. so when these white men die at the hands of law enforcement, it is universally agreed upon by liberal white media types that they must have deserved it. after all, the black man is a target simply by virtue of his skin color. what possible defense could a white man muster? police do not kill white people with all of their privilege. unless they had it coming. the elite black media hops on board or rather, turned their heads away as they too, have little contact with the white lower c

you've got a katrina response that is considered inadequate. and the voters responded. >> why all the glum faces? yesterday the people went to the polls. and they cast their vote for a new direction in the house of representatives. and while the ballots are still being counted in the senate it's clear the democrat party had a good night last night. >> and so we have a divided government. democrats running congress, a republican in the white house. that portends battles ahead. >> after that election many republicans are concluding that iraq is their vietnam and that this war is going to have a big political cost and bush needs to %-p follow him deeper into the quagmire in iraq. >> but then he takes one of the most unexpected steps you could imagine. he says there's going to be a surge of troops in iraq. >> on capitol hill president bush faced more skeptical, even hostile reaction to his plan to send more than 21,000 additional troops to iraq. >> 20,000 to 30,000 troops. we did that before. >> one senior official today in the building summing it

. >> hurricane katrina is now bearing down on louisiana. >> where is the federal government? where are the troops? >> signs the economy

reeling frumg katrina. fiscal problems so on. you, you -- did a lot of great work to, to deal with those, use. the one issue that you struggle with right to the end was violence. talk about that. because the you wrote, right, very movingly in this book. about the experience of having to go, console fathers and mothers -- >> well, first of all. serving was the greatest honor of my life. a tough, tough, tough eight years. we, rebuilt a great american city. but one of the issues that i still -- don't have a handle on. don't understand and won't accept. is the number of deaths of young african-american men on the streets of america, that nobody seems other than the parents and their namely members, to want to spend a lot of time of on. and i think it is a fixable problem. something i wanted to understand. know. >> how is it fixable. i come from chicago. tremendous issues. >> walking by faith, not sight. this isn't rocket science. this is human beings hurting others with guns. i want explore, violence as public health threat, transmit

a chinese american newspaper based in katrina. my question is directed to the ambassador. i wonder, can you talk briefly about engaging the players in this process. can considering the fact that -- considering the fact -- [inaudible] -- do you think china has the incentive to, you know, -- [inaudible] -- thank you. >> i think it's very difficult right now. at the same time i do think that china and the u.s. genuinely share an interest and recognize they share an interest in seeing a north korea that is not destabilizing the area and that does not have nuclear weapons. so i think we need to work on that fundamental, but i do agree. right now i think china is in a position where it feels it can kind of sort of let things go as they are and gradually not keep too much or not enforce perhaps the sanctions with quite the rigor they were before. it's a big challenge. >> so we have three minutes left. i see a lot of hands but we're going to ask three questions. that means you each have to ask for 20 seconds and then our panelists can decide which ones they want to answer. so here

one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a computer, you can check your e-mail with. >> yes. we have our charging station here. and then over here you can see we've got a whole variety of things, including the all-important different tags. so, lawrence, do you want to talk a little about the tags? >> sure. people want to know what do these tags mean. is my building safe or unsafe. these are the city owe initial tags. staying in your home doesn't require that you get a tag. it just means that you use common sense and maybe get help from people who might be around who can help you evaluate whether it's a safe place to stay. >> you might want to know because regular city services are disrupted, you might want to know when trash pick up is, if you need to get clean water, et cetera. also in the neighborhood support center, that kind of information would be available and we've got a little of that up here. >> trash pick up

i saw what happened in louisiana, in new orleans, after katrina. the ranking member and i were there on the ground to see how people who had been quite prosperous were now having to abandon what was their home and they had to move to other places. the astrodome in houston, texas, became the home for many thousands of people who were fleeing the aftermath of katrina. i saw what happened after harvey and how people were suffering and trying to go back into homes that were completely devastated. and they had nowhere else to go. so we have no choice. we must re-authorize and four months, while it seems like it is an inappropriate amount of time, it does give us some additional time. my hope is that we will come to samkon collusion that will be acceptable such that we can have a long-term extension. realtors are calling to my attention the need for certainty in this program. it helps the economy to have certainty. my belief is, we can have certainty and we must extend. i yield back. ms. waters: i yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from texas. mr. breen:

joining us now capri, and katrina. i had a theory who president obama was in office he would mention reparations. it done come along, but i see what tom perez did, it is intriguing this is the most solid vot voter bloc that democs have, yet i see black people not getting much in return. >> we do you know rely on the african-american vote as a huge part of the coalition. i think it well overdue, tom per session righperez is right to a, democrats need to come forward, show what we have to offer. we have to come and show there is a lot, we have seen is you know back in 2016, about i believe it was 88% of rav can african-americans voted for democrat hillary clinton, 93% in 2012. overall participation as reduced as well according to a pew research study. the real question, is how do we reengage the african-american community back into the fold. you know it doesn't seem necessarily that the republicans have gotten them, only 8% voted for trump, but there an opportunity there if we don't step up to the plate. charles: katrina

responded to many major hurricanes including andrew in 1992 and katrina in 2005 has provided me with a unique understanding of how we can better position fema to respond when disaster strikes. as we all know, last year was a particularly devastating one for disasters. with 17 storms during the atlantic hurricane responsible for over $200 billion in damages and a death toll in the thousands according to most estimates. these are astounding and horrifying numbers and a focus should remain on helping those who lost so much. having sat in that chair, i know the challenges faced. but while we are helping those in need it's beyond time to give serious consideration to why we continue to leave lives, homes, communities vulnerable. the evidence is simply overwhelming. better land use and increased mitigation the can dramatically reduce devastation. we must reward communities who invest in resiliency and stronger building codes. as lives are on the line, we must provide assistance, get the nonflammable and seismic standards right the first time. and make sure they're in force. the cost share

. >> hurricane katrina is now bearing down on louisiana. >> where is the federal government? where are the troops? >> shame on bush! shame on bush! >> signs the economy is in trouble just keep on coming. >> i see a great day coming for our country, and i'm eager for the work ahead

it katrina is right that most americans want good relations between the united states and russia. the issue is, does the president have any idea about how to achieve that goal? what are the requirements of it? one requirement as katrina suggests is actually a debate, although he makes it a lot harder to have a debate because everybody just has to gang up against him and has to because he requires it. the requirements are better russian-american relations are to start with a certain kind of unity in the united states and in the u.s. government. we're in the unique situation of having a president who has his entire administration and the congress against him on a major foreign policy issue. he can't do this by himself. second requirement is unity within the alliance. he's threatened that. a third requirement is some kind of leverage, the president seems to be interested in reducing our leverage. the incentives that we give russia to act responsibly. he wants to have a big deal in syria, for example, and yet he wants to -- his clear goal is to get out of syria. that isn't going to gi
