the central valley of california has benefited perhaps more than any other region in california, leaders andhave that part of our state that are not acknowledging the benefit to their people, so we need to help our friends and colleagues and neighbors across the state and across this country understand what the affordable care act really is, not what it has been represented to be, so leader pelosi, i cannot thank you enough. i will be your partner to do everything we can to make it work. >> one important thing to remember about the affordable care act, medicare, medicaid, and the aca are wedded. in the aca, we have prolong the life of medicare. we began closing the donut hole for the cost of prescription drugs. the whole bill is about prevention and wellness. it is about a healthy america, not just health care in america, but wellness in advance of that, and the medicaid piece of it is very central. while medicaid is thought of to be for poor children and their families and for a large number of beneficiaries are children, but a much smaller percentage of the money is spent on children.

, because california -- california gives a damn and that's important to me. when we were looking at kara, the problem that we worried about voucherizing and raising the age for medicare, and we worry about a block grant for medicaid. the only program, the only program that allows people to age in place and if they need to go to assisted living, allows them to go and live in dignity. and so we went and asked that of mcclintock and took people there. and we took a thousand people to bakersfield because people in bakersfield had asked for a meeting with mccarthy, and he turned off the lights and locked the doors. so we went there to show the people of bakersfield, and you need to know this, 51% of the people in bakersfield are on medicare and medicaid. and he wants to voucherize and he wants to do a block grant. so what we are doing is going through the central valley, going up to reading, going all over the state, and talking to republicans about what they need to do to represent their constituents, not the 400 richest people. and so i really have no question f

part of that has to do with california. california is an easier place to live. they get more families. once they hit gender parity, a lot of these rules disappear, so they don't stay the most progressive state on women's rights. that becomes other states that need to incentivize women to come. you ever wonder why wyoming was the first state to gave women the right to vote? it was way back then too. it wasn't they were so progressive. it was that they realize one of the best ways to get women was to give them rights, then actually a whole lot of women's rights advocates started toocating women should move these places, move with their feet, and convince people that you will not stay where you are not treated fairly, so california is the first of the states to consider mail-order marriage. there is a lot they learned from eliza farnham's proposal. even though she doesn't ring over any actual mail-order brides, her idea is replicated for the next 50 years or so. there are these mail-order expeditions that bring over groups of eastern women to western mining towns,

california has very severe shortages right now. to the point where districts -- 75% of districts say they're experiencing shortages. 80% say they're worse this year than last year. it's very hard to fill certain kinds of classes. courses get canceled. class sizes get increased. and people without training get hired. so it's a very pressing issue for the quality of education for students, particularly in those subject areas. >> and so you actually found that in 2015, from 2015 to 2016, the state issued more than 10,000 permits and waivers to place people in classrooms who had not yet completed teacher training programs. >> right. many of them had not started any kind of training as well. so that's a very big warning sign. we had this kind of problem back in the late 1990s. and put in place a number of programs to stem the problem. teacher scholarships. if you would go into the field, financial aid, new programs to support teachers. all of those were eliminated in the 2000s. we actually have to go back to building an infrastructure t

orville, california, to tour a really big awesome new piece of water structure the california governor at the time was ronald reagan. he and his wife nancy went to orville for the dedication of the brand new orville dam. it looks kind of fun. they got to go inside the dam, see in the white sneakers with the super cute hair cut? that's ron, jr., he got to go along with an unnamed friend. looks like they were having a good time. looks like a cool visit. ronald reagan made a speech. you can see next to him while he was giving the speech they had the big cooler of water. just in case. there had been a big parade downtown to welcome to governor and dignitaries. they had not just the majorettes from the middle school, they had the high school band, too. look how many people were there. look at that. thousands of people turned out for the dedication of the oroville dam. i think we have one picture of the crowd in color as well. look at that. who are the ladies in green? what was their role in the dedication? you look at photos like that it makes you realize being a governor has its ups and do

in san francisco and in california, the rates are generally high. some of this is just due to--due to changes in the way people are choosing to have sex and a lot of the advances they may of heard about with getting 20 with hiv have to do with a very very effective biomedical hiv prevention including preexposure prophylactics or prep and also treatment which is great for the individual person's health but also prevents transmission of hiv. there have been some documented decreases in condom use associate with both of those strategies over time and so that then does not protect against std transmissions with some increases over time could san francisco has historically had high rates of stds and other areas as well. predating the impact of biomedical agency prevention. >> thank you. let's go to public comment. we don't have a budget legislative and also report on this so we will open it up. any members of the public to speak on this item? public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> the matter is in our hands. let's make a motion to send it to the full boa

those dollars belong to the people of california. they are our tax dollars by hard-working californians. they are not donald trump's dollars. he is not giving it to us out of the largess of his hard, a gift to california. those are the hard-working taxpayers of california. i want to make sure that we're not caught in the deportation machine of donald trump. in order for donald trump to be successful in separating children from others and mothers from children, he needs to commandeer local sheriffs, state highway patrol's. we need an extension of the federal immigration authorities spirit i want to make sure he does not use our tax dollars, hard-earned tax dollars, two separate children from their mothers by, during our local police agencies. i'm clearly aware that federal is the solen law exclusive jurisdiction of the federal government and homeland security. but if you think the state of california is going to cooperate with you, be very clear about one thing, we're not going to lift one single finger or spend cent to help this man

miss california. ♪ >> the winner, miss alabama. the things they can be difficult to remember is a lot of the practices and rituals we associate with ute were initially very controversial in the south. -- with beauty were initially very controversial in the south. there was a lot of controversy about white southern women entering beauty contest. there would have been bathing beauty contests. held atuld have been seaside resorts like galveston, texas. up and down the eastern coast in virginia, north carolina, south carolina. these contests were held there. not everybody relished the development. respectable white southern women were not supposed to put on swimsuits and stand up before a group of onlookers and strut around in the swimsuits. there was a lot of controversy. one of the things that i argue really helped these competitions become more palatable is the agricultural fair, which as we know has a very strong history in the world south. -- the rural south. every county had an agricultural fair every year. contests, theauty help

california is one of 31 states that expanded medicaid under the affordable care act. 6 million people gained coverage in this state alone. if that funding goes away california will have to decide what to do with people like ca ris hill who has a chronic inflammatory disorder. >> i'm terrified. these infusions and any kind of insurance keeps me alive and if i lose my coverage, i feel that i'm threatened to get all of my coverage through a hospital emergency room and that is not how to manage a chronic disease. >> reporter: expansion are not all 50 states have a medicaid program to budget for and health care is just the start according to the national association of state budget officers. >> uncertainty is part and parcel of every transition. i would say this one is a bit different because the scope and the scale of some of the changes being discussed are larger than we've seen in recent years. >> reporter: like federal tax reform which could wreak even more havoc on state revenue forecast and infrastructure, badly needed but who will pay? in california, they're bracing themselves. >> i
