. >> first question will go to phyllis . >> mister secretary, who is responsible for the shelling today in the combat region and how can, what are you doing to lower the risk of dangerous and potentially explosive us russian interactions such as a close call betweenaircraft . >> we've seen the reports of the shelling and there's certainly troubling. we're still gathering the details. but we've said for some time the russians might do something like this . in order to justify a military conflict so we will be watching this very closely. and in terms of any potential interaction with our aircraft and someone else's aircraft, we will follow our own procedures very closely which i think are our airmen are very well versed on. we will make sure we're doing everything thatwe can to remain safe here . and as we see unsafe acts will certainly enlarge the people that are responsible for that. >> tina klein from germany. >> and mister secretary. i understand you have the evidence that there's more building rather than troop withdrawal in russia. at the same time i've seen some of the german publi

myself are wearing orange today because of the story of one first nation's boarding school survivor phyllis webstep. she recounted her own point of ordering -- boarding school experience in canada. she was just 6 years old. she was living with her grandmother when she was taken away to a residential mission school. think about what that means to know that the child is entrusted to you as the grandparent that her -- her education, the only education that she will be able to receive will be away from the family, away from you at 6 years of age of her family didn't have a lot of money but somehow her mother managed to buy her a new outfit for her to wear on the first day of school and that outfit included a new shiny orange shirt that she picked out for this occasion. when that little girl arrived at school excited for her first day, she was shocked to be stripped of her clothes and her new orange shirt and forced to wear a standard uniform. it was that moment in time that would leave an indelible mark on a young girl that would later start a movement across nations to remind us how nrnt nativ

and recalled the scene in a very stable genius by "washington post" reporters phyllis rucker and carol lenig in which trump called the service chiefs, quote, a bunch of dopes and babies and barked you're all losers, you don't know how to win anymore. president trump repeated those claims again in a news conference again this week. these are just a few examples of not fake news but real news about this president's attitude toward the american fighting men and women. it's no surprise that he would say vile things privately if he would say these things publicly. instead of respecting our troops, president trump ridicules them. instead of bowing his head in humility, he barks insults and obscenities. no president in our history, none that i can even imagine, have been so juvenile, so abusive and so cynical in speaking of our fallen heroes. and what do we hear from republican veterans and officeholders about these sickening comments? very little, if anything, in objection. their silence is deafening. mr. president, i just want to close by thanking my colleague, senator duckworth, for bringi

and of course leaders phyllis shardistrom, and my deputy chief of staff of policy scott raab. i'm most appreciative to president trump for prioritizing, negotiating and delivering on this major promise. today the senate will send this landmark agreement to the president's desk. a big bipartisan win. and it comes the very same week as president trump also signed phase one of his administration's trade agreement with china. quite a week of substantive accomplishments for the nation, for the president, and for our international trade. and both of these measures will only add to all the other republican policies of the past three years that have helped generate this historically strong economic moment for working americans and for their families. so i would urge every one of our colleagues to join me in voting to pass the usmca.

i took money from sally and jill and phyllis and bob they didn't qualify for merit. but i did. now we have about sixty faculty members in the did want. we have done the hiring system is brutal. the competition is brutal. and when we come to do a merit review, every single faculty member is her story use. we had, i think, bad teachers in the early 1970s because of a hiring pattern in the '50s and '60s. most folks are dead, and the ones that aren't dead have been, you know, they don't teach past for fifty years. they're gone. so i think the quality of the tenured have actually increased over my time in the profession. and, you know, i hate to say it. it's increased because the competition for a few jobs is could hardly be more intense. sphwhran how many professors are there in the united? >> guest: about 300,000. c-span: how many belong? >> guest: it's just over a million. c-span: how many belong to the aaup? >> guest: a lot fewer than we want. about 48,000. >> you write in your book a few years ago it was about 100,000. >> guest: yeah. c-span: sphwhapped >> guest: i think there

increase in the green cards to make up for the workers that come in my tent the guest worker programs phyllis more effectively? as someone that can work well given. >> i think it can. i think it can. the report shows that 40% of the people that are here and the undocumented status don't want to stay here permanently. and they want to come here, make money, go home and open a grosz in monterey for the same reason a lot of our retirees are moving to mexico because the dollar goes a lot further right now in mexico than a dozen the united states. and if we had a border with we controlled and they to go back and forth so they wouldn't be risking their lives to go home and visit their families you would have more of these people who would come here and work a certain number of years and then go back to their country of origin. if 30% of the people over here in on documented status didn't come here. i do think assimilation if we had a legal immigration policy that worked and gave a pathway for the undocumented they would begin to assimilate at the rate that the immigrant groups have assimilated. the

my name is phyllis cunningham, i'm with the joint center for political and economic studies. my question is these days you're hearing so much about the polls. every day there's a new poll out, one thing saying one thing -- >> tell us about it. >> and i'm wondering in your opinion what impact do you think they have, and which ones you put stock in, if any. >> very good question. >> well, first of all, there are way too many of them. there are zillions of them, and we are swimming in polls, and we hate them, but we can't live without them. we seem to be, i mean, i find myself drawn to the polling web sites several times a day, and i don't like that because i think it begins to drive everything about your understanding and your concept of what's happening in the race. and on the one hand, polls as a whole you can talk about which polls are better than other polls and which methodology's better than another. as a whole, they do tell you something about what's happening in that contest, and we do know that. so they deserve our attention. but should they be driving so much of the c

the other thing though, when i heard zeke and phyllis go back and forth, and part of my reaction was your both right. which uses a zeke is absolutely right to say the numbers that congress and the glide down path, but the one thing we know for sure is that no congress combined future congresses. as we collectively go off this fiscal cliff together, you know, i don't think the states, story some of my clients states have a great deal of faith that the 90% number is going to stay there. and also i don't think they have a lot of faith in the cost estimates they're getting out of the federal government. i wish i had this, like i said, i moved on, try to master a couple other subjects but at the time of this argument i had a great statistic which basically was, what was the estimated cost to the states of medicaid when it was first adopted. and had numbers like 10, 20 years out. and they are laughably small. and so, you know, fool me once, fool me twice shame on me, right? that's kind of the states perspective on this. they are not interested in sort of going down that road again and gett

i don't know how robert phyllis about the new presentation. i hope he comes to agree through the some of his work was done with assumptions of the period, and that probably doesn't work now. but later he did excellent work on the conflict and now he's published a book on deception comes of deception and so on and i think that we've all known about that but i think that he wanted to produce more of a scientific explanation and if he were on the stage with me i would get him to agree with what he was writing about from the individual level selection and groups election. >> right here in the front. >> when you're talking about the individual selection and the group's election, when you said there was always a conflict, is that mean scientifically we can never have peace in the world? because of the concept? >> you will never have a joining of the groups. i don't think we will ever -- informing the groups is so fundamental because humanity it's part of us. what we are more likely to do in the future is to continue that but we will be creating new

aspects of the relationship between the media and politicians and obviously vice versa, touched on in the phyllis report which we looked at this morning under tab 21 in the bundle we prepared. contexted in evidence section, section 4, mr. campbell. in background to the breakdown, page 7. they major factors have contributed to the breakdown in relationship between government and the media and the public. the communications strategy adopted by the late administration coming into power in 1997, reaction to the media and the press in particular to that, then the response of the civil service. latest past experience, government communications staff were not up to the mark, so a rise in the media handling role of politically appointed, unelected special advisers. their more aggressive approach and their increased use of selected briefing of media outlets in which government information was seen to be used to political advantage, later reaction from the media used to far more adversarial relationship with government. while cause and effect there may be disputatious, it's inevitably mixed up. you would s

well, phyllis talked about this as well. your isp, probably, has a good idea of what's going on on your computer at home; right? right now, they don't do very much about it, and i think bop talked about this as well. you know, there's basic hygiene things that most people don't do. you're isp has fairly good knowledge when you're running malware, when you're part of a botnet, not perfect knowledge, but good knowledge. what actions can they take to stop that? australia's not the only country that does this anymore, but at one point they thought the attorney general will come in and tell the isps what to do; right? because the isps were not doing anything. it was a failure of incentives, and there was a tussle, political tussle. at the end of the day, the isps, and australia is easier because it's a smaller country. they said come up with a voluntary code of conduct that will let us deal with the malware threat; right? with a little guidance and help and involvement from the attorney general and the australian federal police,

she was a lot like my dad; she was a redhead, phyllis, spoke all languages, and intensely curious about the world. a fighter. c-span: one year did she die? >> guest: she died in 73. c-span: if you see a documentary of played major roles in their lives. brian >> guest: yes. c-span: how did you see it as one of her siblings? >> guest: well, it's a hard thing to say, but i think once she was dead and it was over and she was forgotten. i think my father's way of dealing with the world, if you can imagine your daughter dies at the same time as you're going before hearings in the senate for your approval, your confirmation as cia director and they are growing about what they are calling an assassination program, in which you personally have supervised the killing or you have said the policy or the architect of a program that was killed and more than 29,000 vietnamese, by that they are viet cong or sympathizers. the was a tough character. c-span: did the committee or the public know that he was losing a daughter during that time? >> guest: i don't think so, and a few people in the white house

judge john roll, scott morris, phyllis schneck, dorwin stoddard, gabe zimmerman and christina taylor-green. though the completeness of life have been broken by their absence, we continue with their memory close to our hearts and we celebrate the continuing and inspirational recovery of those who were wounded in that attack, including congresswoman gabby giffords and our friend and colleague.

the mandates and the costs on to the states and so we monitor very closely and interact daily with phyllis here in washington to make sure there is a fair treatment between the two. but the problems you highlight in the federal and we have to work with the federal government to make sure come out with a good resolution for all. >> host: deputy director of the national governors' association, the web site is nga.org. he was mentioning the report looking at what he termed the big squeeze getting squeezed at the federal level with their budget deficits. florida, and he joins us. good morning. >> caller: good morning. i'd like to always like c-span. you know what i think the problem really is? the problem is they let these big companies go overseas. now when these companies are in this country hiring people, they have to pay -- people have the medicare, the social security and the company pays the other half. now these guys overseas they are paying china and 50 cents an hour and we have no jobs here because they help pull the jobs of. this is the problem. i'm not going to say to i think the de

we then took our seats so phyllis could wait for her photograph. the whole procedure took 58 minutes. i want to say at this point that the 58 minute wait didn't bother us but we could readily understand that an elderly or handicapped person the long wait in line could be daunting. for information published in our daily paper, the daily newspaper of at murfreesboro, the local drivers testing center during the last week of october, not even a month ago, charged a world war ii veteran the 8-dollar fee for his duplicate license with a photograph. this tells me that unless a person stands their ground such as i did, the drivers testing center is going to charge a fee for the photograph. in fact, an official with the department of public safety stated to the press that the fee would be charged unless the applicant stated he or she wanted the free photo id. my question is why else would a person be trying to get a photograph on their license if it wasn't to get the free photo id? they should ask in my opinion the worker should automatically ask are you he

. >> host: line for independence, phyllis in countryside, illinois. >> caller: good morning, greta, good morning, jan. i want to discuss water and imparts. as far as the war is concerned, greta, i told you back in 2003 that my girls club, i told them don't vote for bush because we'll go to war in the middle east over oil. it's still the same thing because saudi arabia needs to get a pipeline through iraq, iran, afghanistan, and into china. that's what's going on there. bring all our troops home. that's 2 trillion a year we'd save, plus the lives of our children and soldiers. as far as imports go, put an import tax on it, jan, a big one, equalizing $20 an hour american dollars, and you'll see the jobs come back here, okay? >> guest: we need to do what we can to have fair trade, not just free trade, but fair trade for american workers. the president's estimated that we -- has promised, that we'll save a trillion dollars by winding down the wars. that's part of the budget proposal. i think we need to go even faster an more aggressively in bringing our troops home from afghanistan, but i am

now have a gini index similar to the philippines and mexico -- you'd never have imagined that," says phyllis jackson, p & g's vice president of consumer market knowledge for merger america. "i don't think we've typically thought about america as a country with big income gaps to this extent." i don't think that's the way we thought about america either because that's not what america has been for generation after generation, decade after decade going back to the founding of this country. why do i come to the floor to talk about this, madam president? it's because the debate in this place is becoming more and more unward from the facts. and people need to be reminded, you think, here -- not in colorado, but here -- about what kind of problem we're actually trying to solve. here is our current economic challenge. the top line is our productivity index. going back to 1992, that blue line. you'll notice that it fell slightly during the recession, and then it took off again like a rocket. why? because firms all over the country were having to figure out how to do what they were doing, produce wha

you'd never have imagined that says phyllis jackson, p&g's vice president of consumer market knowledge for north america. i don't think we've typically thought, she said, about america as a country with big income gaps to this extent. i don't think we've typically thought about america that way either. it's fundamentally not who we purport to be and it's not who we are going to be. but in order to put us on a path that's actually going to produce a rising middle class again instead of a division among the very wealthy at the top and the poorest of our citizens at the bottom, we're going to have to come together on some pretty serious choices. i know there's been some that argue that this is all a problem that's caused by too many regulations. and i'm the first to say that we should only have the regulation that we need. or some that say that the threat of any revenue, even at a time when we are collecting less revenue as a percent of our economy than we have over the last 30 years are saying that any revenue is choking off this recovery. let me show you something very surprising, mr. p

one of speakers was long time activist is phyllis scflaey. this is about 10 minutes. >> i said what's up, smart girls? and the smart guys. my friends, we are here today because of government gone wild the spending, the debt, the deficits, the regulations. it is progressives gone wild because they want to control every aspect of our lives. you see the progressives don't think you're smart enough to run your own life, smart girls. they want you to be dependent on the government for all of your wants and needs. but we the people will not stand idly by and allow this assault on our liberties, not on our watch. [applause] and i admire your courage to stand on the front lines to defend liberty. you are here engaging and educating yourselves to empower yourselves by attending this great smart girl politics summit. and make no mistake about it, my friends, we are in a battle, and it's a battle for the direction of our country. but what troubles me about president obama and his progressive allies is that they want to fundamentally transform our countr

several miles away the area code is my note to one no -- [laughter] beverly hills there are zero land phyllis or chemical plants. i grew up with a very strong understanding that there were haves and have-nots in this world. but my father taught me about the difference that a union can make in the lives of workers and their families. and growing up, i remember very distinctly sitting down with my father. he would say to me in spanish [speaking spanish] come sit here in the kitchen table. and i would thought what i do? am i in trouble? and he said no. he would reach into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled papers, maybe four or five and there were scribblings on there in spanish and he would begin to recite all was written and he had me translate them in english. and basically what they were for grievances of the workers that he represented at the battery recycling plant. they were given meager pay, the work was dirty and very harmful and the conditions as you know are unsafe and it wasn't fair. my dad, rolph, told me that injustice in the workplace exist and that workers needed to have a voic

so, my wife, rabbi phyllis, said look, if are going to get these folks together to it's not going to be like that. and she said what we're going to do is, the first thing that's going to happen is a but is going to take 15 minutes to talk about their own spiritual journey that got into this place. and then each one is a human being, and one as a human being and another one as a human being was a christian and so on. but all of us were human beings, and we could hear the differences within that context of the spiritual journey, and our spiritual journeys were all different. but they were all spiritual, and that made an incredible difference. we ended up being able to break one of the, sort of unwritten, but practically written rules of interfaith dialogue, never try to pray together, because somebody will get mad. because either it will be -- or eccentric. we were able to figure out ways to create together that were authentic to each tradition, not each common denominator, and also conclusive. but that was possible because of the way we have begun. now why did i want to chime in to sa

and i love tom phyllis what is going on. in his fashion. i hope it is a very good paper. it examines and gives a usual examination of the roots of the professed dichotomy of the views of russia's please in the world on the part of the two men who occupy the top leadership positions in russia today. dmitry medvedev and vladimir putin. there's a lot of discussion in my business about whether or not this difference in divergence and views israel or its contrived. in any event wherever you come down you hear the echo in this jury valuable paper of 40 authors identify as the conflict between the age-old conflict in russia between the finals and the western and the decline that division into a more subtle picture. at times overlapping even of how the main schools of foreign policy fought in russia today that are the toomas secret contradictions between the various schools that are in competition to prevent their views and make those count in policy terms. it is introduction to the book that will build on today's conference and we now ask the so what question. it's a journalisti
