the heartland institute is a really classy group. they put up billboards comparing climate scientists to the unabomber. and americans for prosperity is another influential nonprofit organization which is a front for, guess whom, the koch brothers, ie, the fossil fuel industry. they got ramped up by the kyoto protocol. they went on a spending spree to thwart the kyoto with information campaigns in 1997. the cool -- the cooler heads coalition had a clear mission of countering what they called the myths of global warming. in early 1998 this cooler heads group met with energy industry executives and lobbyists in closed door meetings at the american petroleum institute and began to soak up more money. and here's what the plan was -- i'm quoting from the story in the "post" -- one former cooler heads member who spoke on the condition of an nementy because of a fear of a backlash -- that's how classy this group is -- they enforced against each other this are former member said the coalition's mission was to simulate voices against climate c

you've institutions in place.yoa or columbia where you have institutions that were weakha but were there. the other situation is when you've had a personality where everything had been at the service of that leader. there are no institutions to think of where we thought underneath them.ght undeth and so the distance betweenpeop people's desire not that they had overthrown the dictators.reh in the institutions there to channel all of those things. you how much time. i really in the book that we made a lot of mistakes and we undervalued the potential for the tribe to play an important role we do can understand the tribe and when we got back i don't think we fully understand the implications. of the army. the one thing i would like to say about that. we do not go to iraq to bring democracy to iraq. that is an urban legend. it doesn't have the benefit of being true.we we thought we have a security problem i would never say that. he is a male american military force to bring democracy for that matter. the but once you've overthrown the dictator. a lot of bloodshed lives lost. you're beginning

>> people were always applauding and in the institution or in their part of the institution they were quite prevalent. but most of them were not realized because someone would spill the beans or hear something or something that looks unusual. so those persons that were in charge of controlling the population including their owners as welcome as a militia, the government commits patrollers committee were always on the lookout for those persons who were applauding the slave result. so people wanted to undo their bondage and they were always trying to figure out how to keep them when they were always trying to figure out how to get out of it. >> you have a list of nearly all of the rebellions in the back of your book. why did we learn about this? >> wwe've learned about matt turner because it recognized the great institution. there was a great fear in the revolts that they would rise in the middle of th the knife and t peoples throat and bur burned dn their houses and things like that. this happened in 1831 in southampton county virginia. -- turner was a brilliant young man who was illit

the best case is: where you've got institutions in place or columbia where you have institutions that were weak but were there. so the war situation is when you have a cult of personality, tyrannical leaders where everything had been at the service of that leader, and so there were effectively no institutions to think of or we thought underneath him. and so the distance between people and their desire now that they've overthrown the dictator or we've overthrown the dictator and the institutions that could channel all those passions, there's a great system and you don't have much time. i relate in the book that we made a lot of mistakes. we undervalued the potential for the tribe, the sunni tribes to play an important role. we didn't understand the tribes. when we got back with the serbs in 2007, the tribes were a big part of the reason we were able to defeat al qaeda in iraq. i do think we didn't fully understand the implications of the disbanding of the army which wasn't supposed to take place, by the way and i describe that in the book so in the fog of war a lot happens but one thin

again it's a story of institutions. it was essentially single party system under the african national congress. somehow mandela's great authority was never transferred into institutions which could then survive him and they have had considerable trouble since. but institutions are still there. it is just that it has been hard to really deliver through them. first presidents matter. united states of america was pretty lucky that george washington actuallyty didn't want to be king. i don't know how many of you have seen "hamilton." it is a really a great show but it becomes a very clear that we, we got lucky with the particular combination of founding fathers that we had. many places haven't been that fortunate. >> you're right about latine. america. you talk about colombia, how they have made progress there. generally the military juntas of the '60s and '70s are gone but what happened to venezuela? >> hugo chavez happened to venezuela. you can get a really bad leader who doesn't get checked by those around him with consi

in that i think a couple of things emerge for me and one is the critical relationship thatet institution including what is now citigroup: j.p. morgan chase had to us imperialism in the 20th century. how these institutions really grappled with the question of w international expansion through legal practices, through their attempts to sometimes trample regulation, sometimes extend regulation to support international capitalism and i think finally to also understand what is the relationship between the history of capitalism through wall street, through banking institutions and its relationship to the development, expansion, generation of ideas of race and racism, especially as they hinge on affect the sovereignty of caribbean people in haiti, dominican republic, panama, nikolai?ragua, host: wended wall street become wall street?coal guest: i think wall street-- i would argue wall street became wall street in the early 19thst century. earlier years of us history salt wall streete is a and new york city is one of a number of capitals capital in the united states as commercial. baltimore had

institute of peace. again, mr. chairman, to add this place spent $35 million including telling the american people what they should think

and i think you have to look at it as institutions. the fbi is an institution. the speaker of the house is an institution. the majority leader is an institution. okay? the justice department is an institution. they have an institutional logic of how they proceed and what they're going to do and you can't get caught up in individuals. >> rose: as soon as you say that you have announced you want to go to war against mitch mcconnell the leader of the senate, you want to go to war with him. >> yes. >> rose: you just say he represents an institution, senate majority leader, you want to go to war with paul ryan because he is an institution. you didn't want to go to war with james comey because he represents another institution is there not a contradiction in that? >> no. those institutions can be changed if the leadership is changed. i don't believe that the nooucial logic of the fbi particularly with regard to a investigation could change ahead of its. >> rose: it is also true many say and you're a smart guy that if james comey had not been fired, we would not have t

it guides our midst -- musical institutions today. that is what i call fusion. from there those of the last 14 years where we have personally led the global market. i work in the north carolina practice. right now, i am the boss of him, but don't tell them i told you that. is still our visionary design director. coming out of fusion we get to the next stage of what i call in fusion. and later on this notion of enhancing spaces that were devoid of significant interpretation. with designs and features that invite exploration. we are moving these two this environment that they have not seen the wonderful work that you do today in the form of these institutions. if you examples include merging -- a few examples include the slides you see now merging art , and storytelling. a celebration with the library project. if you have ever been to that library. if you have you have seen interpretations happening in that library. there are two other projects that we have expanded as well. immense omission -- emancipation park opened this year. it is a houston third ward neighbo

one is the critical relationship that institutions, wall street institutions, including what's i now citigroup, jpmorgan chase,. had to u.s. imperialism in the 20th century, how the institu institutions really grappled with the question of international expansion through legal practices, to their attempts to sometimes trample tl regulations, sometimes extend regulations to support international capital accumulation. finally, to also understand what his relationship between theee history of capitalism through wall street, through banking institutions and its relationships to its the development, expansion, generation of ideas of race andr racism, especially as they impinge on and affect the sovereignty of caribbean peoples, of peoples and haiti, dominican republic, to the, et cetera. >> when did wall street become wall street? >> guest: i think wall street, i would argue wall street really became wall street in the early 19th century. you know, early u.s. history so wall street as, new york city, as one of a number of capitals of capitals in the united states, as commercial. baltimore

whether they are hispanic serving institutions, tribal colleges, predominantly black institutions, west virginia state university is a member. i am a product of hbc and in my family it is a family business. my mother and my aunt went to howard university. i went to howard university. me and my brother in law went to howard university. my wife went to tuskegee university. my sister went to fitch, my other sister went to dillard. my brother-in-law went to tennessee state university, my three sister-in-laws went to florida a and m university. [cheers and applause] >> can't take them nowhere. my son took classes at mccook university before beginning at morehouse college, my daughter attended hampton university before transferring to virginia state where she is now. so that is a 1.5 generation and i'm talking about the impact on an entire community. when you continue to have a conversation about improving educational equity it is important not to forget what helped move the needle for 150 years. our institutions have been on the forefront of black higher education and equity for our entire e

where does that leave institutions that are forced to be judged and jury. where does that leave parents? where does that leave students. this system, failed system has generated hundreds upon hundreds of cases mostly filed by students and believers schools let them down. it's also generated dozens upon dozens of lawsuits filed in courts across the land. students punished for sexual misconduct to also weave their schools let them down. the current failed system left one student to fend for herself at university disciplinary hearing. she told her university that another student sexually assaulted her in her dorm room. without any legal training whatsoever, she had to prepare an opening statement and find witnesses. i don't think it's the rate that makes a person a victim to told reporters. she said it's the failure of the system that turns a survivor into a victim. this is the current reality. you may have read recently about a disturbing case in california. it's the story of an athlete, his girlfriend and failed system. the couple was described as playfully

now the best place is like poland with institutions in place so columbia where you have institutions that were weak but were there.eak but the worst situation is when you've had a personality leader where everything had been at the service that have leader that sm hussein so no institution to think of or we thought underneath him so the distance between people's desire now that they've overthrown the dictator that we've overthrown dictator, and the institutions will to channel all of those passions there's a great distance and yoi don't have much time. i relate in the book that we made a lot of mistakes. we undervalued the potential for the tribe, the sunni tribe to play an important role. we didn't understand the tribe. when we got back with the surge in 2007, the tribe were a big part of the reason that we were able to defeat al qaeda and iraq. i think we didn't fully understand the implication of the disbanding of the army which wasn't supposed to take place bo the way, and i described that in the book, and so in the war a lot happens but one thing that i would like people to unde

in fall of 2015, 53% of black students were at those institutions compared to 40% of white students. although community colleges and for-profit institutions are accessible means of access to college, by and large community colleges are reasonably affordable but have low completion rates. one in four black students who enroll at community college graduate with certificate or some type of degree in six years

broke on the institutions. he just knows that he has got inoculation as long as he can keep about 40 percent of the population backing anything that he does. in my opinion a report can come up tomorrow and try to be something so egregious that he does, the 35 or 40 percent will shrug and stay with him because they have signed onto the cold of donald trump. the persona of donald trump. the people that i have talked to in summer probably in the audience, most are frustrated and they are conservatives. they feel like my god, we have been working the conservative movement for decades and this is the result? right now i think this all gets back to the 1960s and early 70s where reagan used to say, -- i think of donald trump had his way he would like to roll back the great society and the new deal if he could. >> how about you mara liasson? what has surprised you the most? >> i guess what surprised me is that donald trump is exactly as he was during the campaign. in other words, there were some kind of weird magical t

it guides our musical institutions today. that is what i call fusion. so from there, over the last 14 years, we personally worked in leading the market. i work in the north carolina practice. right now, i am the boss of him. [laughter] don't tell him i told you that. but phil is still our visionary design director. so coming out of fusion, we moved to the next stage of what i call "enfusion." that is a powerful thing for me. what we do is we brace and layer on this notion of enhancing public spaces that were traditionally devoid of significant interpretation. with designs and features that simulate and invite exploration. so we're moving into these environments that have not yet seen the wonderful work that you guys do today with in the four walls of your institutions. so a few examples include the ,lide you see now, merging art storytelling, and celebration in the library project. thehasha spoke about anacostia library. if you have ever been to that library. if you have you have seen interpretations happening in that library. there are two other projec

we do have the same institutions that were established right after the second world war, the institutions of science. as the universities were essentially restored in the united states, in germany as well, on a very classic model and the postwar institutions of science all our legacies of that postwar moment, and our question collectively is what of those institutional structures do we , letto find ways to reform me follow this one step further, the moral code of conduct i asnk all of us scientifically trained invested scholars believe in of honesty up against does run some of the structures and incentives of the postwar research system. to gain grants, to gain publicity, to secure the resources for our work, and so i wonder if there is a more fundamental challenge to our institutions that goes along with the reinforcement of our attitudinal stances to address the fact that underneath the postwar social compact is this underlying skepticism and distrust that i think is resurfacing with the breakdown of the postwar order and which will not disappear in the conflict, as you so poignantly pu

and its institutions risk undermining its members and donors. even more importantly, they risk the confidence and faith that those who rely on the blue helmets, who rely on that sign i stand in front of today coming to their aid in the darkest of hours. so we must begin by supporting the ambitious reform agenda that secretary-general gutierrez is now leading to create a more agile, transparent and joined up organization. much of this work will be a practical and unglamorous. it will require the u.n. to deliver better cooperation on the ground between agencies, remove competition for funding, and improve gender inequality. but it will also require real leadership to confront damaging issues that have the set the u.n. i welcome the secretary-general's new circle of leadership on preventing sexual exportation and abuse in operations and i'm pleased to be part of this initiative. we, the nations of the u.n., need to give the secretary-general are backing for these reforms. and as an outward looking global britain and the second biggest funder of the

where does that leave institutions, which are forced to be judge and jury? where does that leave parents? where does it leave students? this system, failed system, has generated hundreds upon hundreds of cases in the department's office for civil rights mostly , filed by students who reported sexual misconduct and believed their schools let them down it has also generated dozens upon dozens of lawsuits filed in courtrooms across the land. by students punished for sexual misconduct who also believe their schools let them down. the current failed system one -- it left one student to fend for herself at a university disciplinary hearing. she told her university that another student sexually assaulted her in her dorm room. in turn, her university told her she would have to prosecute the case herself. without any legal training whatsoever, she had to prepare an opening statement, fixed exhibits, and find witnesses. i don't think it's the rate that rape that makes a person a victim, she toldthis is the c. you may have read recently about a disturbing case in calif

about the institute was abandoned and that most of the employees had fled during the occupation. they left the manuscripts to their own fate. for the future seemed bleak but there was no work so they were forced to leave. but nobody was permitted to enter the building which was built by south africa. but nobody was allowed to enter except for the occupying forces a. lot of people everyone was concerned the head of the ahmed baba institute the owners of the family libraries the population of timbuktu the delegation was sent into the jihadi camp to ensure that the manuscripts were safe. but. what value do the manuscripts of timber to have to you as an intellectual. so they contain our history they are us so what are we without the manuscripts in this institute we can't imagine a community without them they are our history our culture. so you would do everything in your power to protect the manuscripts. so we don't even need to discuss those. but was he to be trusted with the jihadists really safeguard the manuscripts. after the meeting the director wasn't sure. when i think. we can

but i think institutions also have to ask themselves some hard questions and a lot of institutions will just chase a new technology. instead of asking, what is our learning model? what outcomes do we want? because you don't have to go right to virtual reality, right? but i know it sounds sexy and like all people do it. >> no one wants -- >> and obviously, everything i read about the technology failures always talk about implementation and context, and that's usually about the technology itself. i want to -- we have a lot of people here, i think a lot of people may have questions. actually, don't know how we're handling questions here. do we have people stand up? >> talk for five more minutes. >> we can talk for five more minutes and then they'll talk. >> talk about what you talked about before, leaving the teachers behind and leaving the professors behind. and implementation. that seems to me one of the places where a lot of this breaks down. you have good ideas, but it's hard to get the people who need to -- the implementing it comfortable with it, accepting it, and that's not because

thefbi is the institution, speaker of the house is an institution, the justice department is an institution. they have institutional logic of how to proceed. you cannot get caught up in individuals. charlie: as soon as you say that , you have announced you want to go to war against mitch mcconnell, the leader of the senate. you want to go with -- go to war with him. he is the majority leader, you want to go to war with paul ryan, and he represents an institution? steve: yes. not want to you did go to war against a james comey because you thought he represented another institution, the fbi? is there a contradiction in that? steve: no. with mcconnell and ryan those institutions can be changed if the leadership changes. i do not believe the institutional logic at the fbi, in regards to an investigation, could possibly be changed by changing out the head of it. true, that is also if james comey had not been fired, we would not have the mueller investigation. true? isve: i do not think there any doubt that if james comey had not been fired, we would not have this special counsel. charlie: we wou

use for your own institution. the bottom line is that achieving an informed and fair and effective response to sexual assault, whether it's on campus or in the criminal justice system, requires identifying policies and practices that are premised on the myths and stereotypes that still prevail, changing them, and providing everybody who needs it with fair, relevant, accurate, training that really brings them knowledge that is all out there all this research is out there about sexual assault and helps them to understand these cases through an accurate lens. so, thank you. and we are now going to have a conversation among everybody on the dais.

the expenditures of our public institutions, of our civil society institutions and for our people, in order to meet the needs of those living in the camps and cities in turkey, have so far exceeded 30 billion u.s. dollars. in turn, the european union has only sunk 820 million euros out of the 3 billion euros that they promised. total assistance from the international community, through the united nations remains around $520 million. it did not comment -- it did not come into our budget, mind you. this money goes to the syrians, i should point out. none of this money goes into turkey's budget. this money, given to those in need by the relief agencies, through the relevant institutions of the united nations mind you. before the whole world here, i hereby call on all the countries and the international organizations which have put all of the burden of the 3.2 million people on turkish shoulders only, i call on them to fulfill the promises they have made. country turkey is a that carries out humanitarian aid and development assistance activities around the world. not only do we welcome th

but they create these training institutes that are for high school students and training institutes for teachers and training institutes for faculty, from different places. and training institutes for federal judges. so i did get into that and i gave a hint to the legal story but buchanan one of the colleagues was henry manning who was a crucial entrepreneur to build george mason's law school are roundabout and they ran the camp that at one point i believe that it was by the early 1990s had trained two fifths of all of the sitting federal judges in the united states, 40% of all federal judges have been treated to this funding curriculum. those continue and changed under obama because he didn't have a chance to put in a number of federal judges comes with the numbers are not what they are. this is serious. these people are dead set is determined to transform the legal system and then in buchanan's terms, to walk at all in with these radical constitutional changes. >> what do you think it says about the class rule in this country and of the liberal opposition that they have been such an a

whether those institutions are hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges, predominantly black institutions or historically black colleges and universities or hbcus of which virginia state university is a member. i am a product of hbcus, but more importantly, it's the family business. my mother and my aunt went to howard university. all right. i went to howard university. just checking. me and my brother and law went to howard university. my wife went to tuskegee university. my sister went to fisk, my other as i say to dillard. my three sister in-laws went to florida university. [ cheers and applause ] i'll tell you. can't take them nowhere, right? nowhere. my son took classes at bethune cookman university. before he began his career at morehouse college. my daughter attended hampton before she transferred to virginia state university where she is now. so hbcus are important. and that's one-and-a-half generations. and i'm talking about the impact it has on an entire family, on an entire community. and so when we look to continue to have the conversation about improving educational equity, i

the speaker of the house is an institution. the majority leader is an institution. okay, the justice department is an institution. they have an institutional logic of how they proceed and what they are going to do. you can't get caught up in individuals but have you not. >> rose: as soon as you say that, steve, you have announced that you want to go to war against mitch mcconnell, the leader of the senate, you want to go to war with him. >> yes. >> rose: and you just said he represents an institution, the senate of the united states, majority leader. want to go to war with paul ryan and he represents an institution. >> yes. >> rose: so you want to go to war but you didn't want to go to bar. >> no. >> rose: against james comey because you thought he represented another institution, the fbi. is there not a contradiction in that. >> no, it's not, with mcconnell and ryan, those institutions can be changed if the leadership is changed. i don't believe that the institutional logic of the fbi and particularly in regards to an investigation could possibly be changed by chan

one front group is called the heartland institute. it's a nice name but they're not very nice people. for decades the heartland institute has played a prominent role disseminating alternative facts and fake science at the behest of its industry funders. they've got a long history of doing the bidding of industry funders in the 1990's it was teamed up with philip morris to challenge the facts about the health risks of tobacco. now using the same tactics along with funding from the koch foundation, exxonmobil and other fossil fuel interests, it's out to undermine public confidence in the establishment of scientific consensus about climate change. it's quite shameless in its methods once sponsoring a billboard comparing those who accept the science of global warming to the unabomber. for my 180th time to wake-up speech, i'd like to explore the heartland institute's latest gambit which is to air drop climate denial propaganda directly into children's classrooms. this spring heartland delivered packages to hundreds of thousands of k-12 and

he is making the presidency as an institution, he is giving it a black eye. he has so personalized the presidency, when he leaves, that personal assets goes away. the institution remains. i agree with mara that the next president will be the anti-trump. so, the president will have every incentive to restore dignity to the office and do everything. mara: and release his tax returns. that will be a fundamental threshold thing. i want to ask you guys one more thing. the new york times did a very short list feature called "say something nice about donald trump," which i believe was immediately abandoned due to lack of material. [laughter] >> let me ask you, the three of you. and i will give you an out. here is the firehere is the firl build. something that has gone must badly perhaps then you feared -- than you feared?

the ncua is not synonymous with big, for-profit institutions. mr. aguilar: the ncua is a not for profit structure and plays a critical role in communities throughout this country. if they are forced to go through the appropriations process, then local buy-in is trumped by the federal government. if anything this would further complicate the funding process and decrease, not increase, transparency. forcing the ncua into this process is an attempt to fix a problem that doesn't exist. they're one of the only regulatory bodies that is both an insurer and regulator and its unique structure should be reflected in the way that the operations are funded. thank you, mr. chairman. the chair: does the gentleman yield? mr. aguilar: i'll yield. the chair: the gentleman from nevada is recognized. mr. amodei: i reserve, mr. chairman. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. does any other member seek time in opposition? >> mr. chairman, i rise to claim the time in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. >> mr. chairma
