katrina: i didn't say that. there is a move on as you know for government to play a role with fake news and regulation. just last week the french president announced the freedom of the press is so important in the next day he asked the government was set up a bureau to make sure the freedom of press is used the way they want it to be used. whatever the problem, whatever the chaos, whatever the abuses, the one thing you can say about people in denver, chicago, washington, they are not the government. i would rather fight with them because you can find ways around it. you can find ways to communicate. that's one of the things we talked about earlier, is getting around the existing media. people are inventive, technology has amended. things will sort themselves out and i have great faith they will do it in a much better way than would happen if the government decided to get into it and help. ruth: especially when you've had the president talking about licensing, you know, yanking licenses and pardon me, but very ni

however, at the same time, hurricane katrina brought an enormous influx, very bright people from all across the country, who moved here in droves and decided they wanted to live here. based on the change of population for one thing, the food began to change. we have seen a greater diversion in the kind of food served, the kinds of restaurants we have, and an explosion in the restaurant business like nothing new orleans has ever seen before. , almost 14 years after katrina, we have over twice as many restaurants operating in new orleans as we did before the storm. when visitors come here, the most important thing to me is that they have an authentic food experience. whether it is trying a poor boy sandwich or having a bowl of gumbo, trying to pick crawfish for the first time. it is all delicious and it is a delicious adventure. and that's what i want our visitors to experience and then go home with a really special food memory they created here in new orleans. the winner of the national book award for fiction is just ward.rd -- >> i had been obsessed with the idea of history and how h

the work to reform our schools started before katrina. there's a myth out there that all the started when the levees broke, when the water came in and everybody, no. our reforming our poor performing public schools started well before katrina and it wasn't just focus on new orleans although that's where it ended up being most noticed, but it started by a group of citizens, black, white, hispanic, everyone sang look, there's something wrong with our public schools in the cities come in the counties, in the parishes come in the rural areas. let's try to fix it. and governors democrat and republican, this is not a partisan issue in louisiana,, which is sort of said our schools need to be better. we are like the 50th state in the economy. we hate being the last do we get from last to first? it's not easy. let's focus on getting a good to great education. we started, you can go back and research this, all sorts of laws and rules and regulations trying to get us to better public schools. i was part of that. i was with the legislation when i was

in 2004, katrina hit in 2005. let me just say 67,000 kids in new orleans schools, probably 85% to 90% african-american in our public schools. of course we're in the south so after brown versus board of education, coming back realizing everybody should be on the page here. but every city in the south, this happened in many cities around the country. our public school system is predominantly african-american. in 2004 there were 60% of our children that went to school in new orleans and schools ranked in the lowest 10%. okay? 60% of our kids in new orleans in 2004 were in schools that ranked at the lowest 10% in the state. in 2017 last year, only 11% did. that is how much growth we have achieved in a decade. moving our poorest kids still on $9,000 a year. that hadn't changed. with a little bit more bells and whistles we've been able to put together about it. moving them from failing to succeeding. we have one high school in new orleans that's 100% virtually african-american. the graduation rate used to be at that sch

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

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

maria: joining me is katrina pearson, good to see you this morning. your reaction to the president's statement? >> the president has set a number of times he does believe the russians metals in the election. a lot of people created facebook pages to push propaganda, not just the russians but i do grow tired of people holding donald trump to a standard that was nonexistent to previous presidents. this all occurred under the obama administration and not once was president obama asked to publicly rebuke vladimir putin or hold him accountable for what they discovered to be this, quote, meddling, donald trump carrying the weight of all previous administrations including members of congress's actions and that is not fair. maria: this is getting a little goofy at this point. i understand the russians have been undermining or trying to undermine the west for decades but at this point there are real issues to be talking about in the media is in a frenzy about are they meddling right now, where they meddling 5 minutes ago? but the fact donald trump is continuin

george bush didn't cause katrina. this was an intentional hurricane but what we have learned from this is that the administration's chaos can be overcome by our constitution. i'm glad that my state is in court suing to protect these children. we need to have guardians of the constitution, i'm glad we're fighting tooth and nail. if we speak up, we can win. donald trump folded like a cheap suit when the american people -- both republicans and democrats -- were offended by this policy so we know we can win these battles if we speak up and are resilient. >> i want to ask about i.c.e. there is a groundswell of democrats calling for i.c.e. to be abolished because of this. do you think i.c.e. should be abolished? >> i voted against i.c.e. in the first place. i've been a critic of it and we consider reorganization but we need to understand this. we can't let donald trump get off by putting a new name on a new agency because he is the source of the problem. >> but if you get rid of i.c.e., what do you have? what's the point of

but with katrina, we've seen a big lift in the president's approval rating. there's slight decline in the president'laapprovating last week. to me the tribal warre has become so rigid it's almost as if nothing can movanything. while we see images which should be horrific of anybody of any political persuasion, it doesn't seem to move politics. >> i think that's right. the place where i want to pus on this -- and it's not about the politics, but it's about the false choice weare being offered. what the trump administration said is we have two choices, one is we can treat families unimaginably cruelly by separating them from their children or detaining the whole family for as long as they want to, or we cannot enforce our laws. both to have the first two options are illegal. courts ruled against the indefinite detention of the family and sparating children from the family, at this point. they're doing somethinnow is not allowed by the courts. they're saying, on the other hand, we have to enforce the law. we could give ankle bracelets which we've done before. fo
