yes. >> you said nobody since carter has given a state of the union -- what happened to the state of the union or the new president gives it? >> what we find is that carter delivered one at the end of his term. ford did. hnson did, nixon resigned so that complicates the schedule. presidents can deliver one at the end of their term. it's delivered every january. and so the outgoing statement can choose to deliver a state of the union like johnson or send one in writing, like president carter did or choose not to give one. a lot of presidential addresses in a short period of time. you could have an outgoing president give their final state f union and the new coming president will give one. and will ask congress to appear before them early in their term. that is not an official state of the union but a address before congress and sometimes they choose that to do that. other presidents have opted going to a farewell address. but not all presidents choose to do that. i don't believe president obama did and president bush did not. here are some flexibilities. all right, everyone. well, th

. >>> next montana governor steve bullock delivers his fourth and final state of the state address. the governor spoke before a joint session of the montana legislature in helena, he outlined his legislative priorities which include economic development, education, healthcare and infrastructure. this 45-minute event courtesy of montana pbs. >> ladies and gentlemen, i have the high honor and great privilege to introduce you to the -- to the honorable steve bullock, governor of the great state of montana. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> mr. president, mr. speaker, members of this 66th legislature, lieutenant governor mike cooney, other members of the legislature, other elected officials and our tribal leaders, members of the cabinet and my coworkers, my beloved wife lisa and our three kids, caroline, alex and cameron. thank you for the honor of inviting me into the people's house for my fourth and final state of the state address. as has been the case each of the previous times, it's a humbling privilege to stand before you as montana's 24th governor. six years ago i stood at this very

of the state address. as has been the case each of the previous times, it is a humbling asvilege to stand before you montana's 24th governor. six years ago i stood at this very spot and i introduced myself by saying, my name is steve and i work for the state. i told you i would work hard every day, guided by my values, to protect the state that gave me the opportunity in life to go from delivering newspapers to child,ernor's house as a to living and raising our three children in it today. the sounds in the bullock household have changed over the six years. the sounds of young children laughing and playing turned into eyerolls and exasperated sighs of embarrassment as those young children have grown into teenagers. and my dad jokes are awesome. [laughter] apparently being governor is no longer as cool as it once was. still, the household sounds have changed, there is still a constant reminder to me of the reason i work each day. my family has shaped my perspective in office because as a father, i want my ki

washington state was in a years long legal lawsuit with the state supreme court over whether the state or local officials should be paying for education costs. the state got rid of the pay scale. the governor contributed $1 billion more to schools last year. and said this money is for teacher pay, but he it in the district general fund. the districts in that state said we can give you pay over the next three years. the next four years. there are some districts in seattle that were able to get huge double-digit pay increases. washington, the district said no and they tried to say we will give you a smaller increase than what you the teachers are demanding. the teachers went on strike and delayed the start of school. for a day or two i think. one of the things that happened in washington which was fascinating was the teachers unions sent out a press release to all the teachers in the state saying you can get a 30% raise this year. raise. host: you ok with that? guest: not only would it be ok with that, but i would recalibrate my budget. i would know i can afford this. i might think of ha

new york state, is the number one donor state in the united states of america. we send more money to washington then we get back and we send more money that we don't get back than any other state in the nation. forty states, take more than they give so we have a federal government that is against redistribution of income among people. but they have no problem redistributing income from some states to other states and what they did is they took from the republican read democratic states to give to the republican states. and we are feeling the pain. and that is the 3 billion-dollar hole. at the same time, we have priority investments that we want to make. so we have a negative $3 billion and then we want to invest more in targeted priorities in this budget tries to balance them. the four largest cost priorities are education healthcare, and t8 infrastructure in a middle-class tax cut. on education, we should be very proud of the amount of money that we have spent. we spend the most money. pupil in the nation. we spent two times the national average. the problem wi

the electoral college was set up this way to protect the small states from the tyranny of the big states i think it's unfair to most voters because it skews the way in terms of these small on populated states. around the clock across the world this is your r t international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome to our top story russia is warning that the u.s. is getting ready to intervene in venice we topple him bottled. president nicolas maduro up to washington has only thrown its support behind the president. slapping sanctions on officials in government and inviting others to follow the lead the secretary of the russian security council sees that u.s. troop movements in colombia and in perth to rico are precursors to a military invasion. that's more. and since the pressure on the van as well and president nicolas maduro is mounting as the u.s. supported south nominated candidate one why don't vows to bring him down even as well a colombia border has arisen become quite a hot spot and ongoing standoff as the u.s. has decided to deliver humanitarian aid to the border

there are some states that have marijuana as recreational, other states had it as medicinal. a lot of them in the ninth circuit are included. the situation that we had is that there is an appropriations writer which prevents the federal government from spending any money to prosecute actions that are legal within the state. we will be talking about that. the next subject we will talk about will be gun laws. where are we now with the second amendment? this brings up the question of the case in the ninth circuit. it deals with rights and the united states supreme court. when can a person carry a gun or get a permit to carry a gun? lastly if we have time, we are going to get into some cases involving the establishment of religion and free exercise, mainly the issue of when prayer can be set as legislated and semi-legislative areas. with that, we will start with professor eastman talking about immigration and sanctuary cities. he will discuss everything involved. >> i think we are just going to stay here. before i get into the subject of this, i have to tell a little story about

of the state address. as has been the case each of the previous times it is a humbling asvilege to stand before you montana's governor. i stood at this very spot six years ago and introduced myself by saying my name is steve and i work for the state. work hard i would every day, guided by my values to protect of the state that gave me the opportunities in deliveringfrom newspapers to the governor's to living andld raising her three children in it today. this sounds in our household have changed over those six years. the sounds of young children laughing and playing. they have turned into silent eye rolls, exasperated sighs and embarrassment as those young children have grown into jokesers. while my dad awesome,d's are apparently being governor is no longer as cool as it once was. those a household sounds have changed, there is still a constant reminder to me of the reason i show up for work each day. my family has always shaved my perspective in office. i want my kids and all montana kids to have every opp

united states should give a message to congress on the state of the union and recommendations of programs he think should be followed. george washington again the when of the union message first congress met. washington went to the senate chamber and delivered a speech that had a series of recommendations. in those days, they actually used to cut the state of the union message up. washington and john adams followed that practice. for years it was known as the annual message. it didn't become known as the state of the union message until the 1940's. there was a hollywood movie called state of the union. president washington adams -- thomas jefferson enjoyed public speaking. he gave only to public speeches while he was president. his first inaugural address and second inaugural address. the president going to congress personally to deliver a list of things he wanted to see done. it was too much like the british king, the monarch going to parliament. he thought this was not appropriate for a republican. jefferson sent his message to congress. each year after that presidents would send their

every governor gives their state of the state. i joke every state of the state is the commonwealth of governors. they are very focused and the biggest concern is how long this recovery will go. not only whether there will be a downturn, but going forward, their will be so many -- there will be so many changes, technologies, manufacturing. and there's a big concern. that's a big focus. the second one is health care. that's always big. on one hand, very concerned about the immediate crisis, such as opioids. they are focused on what they can to solve that. also concerned about managing cost. both government cost from medicaid, but also concerned about making sure it stays managed. they hear a lot from their residence about health care costs, but they are privately insured or receiving government insurance. i'd say health care is also a huge issue. >> on the economy, so interesting. just in the near term, are you accepting prevailing wisdom in lots of quarters that the recovery has gone on long enough? the cyclical downturn is inevita

thank you. >> hi, i wanted to know how states, why states would not be passing these laws. i know you guys have been advocating to pass these laws for a while now. why do some states take longer or white or some lagging so far behind others? >> passing these laws is very challenging. it really takes some strong leadership and a commitment to see it through the legislative process and of course each state has its own process. sometimes it's a multiyear effort. but when we find it really dedicated elected official, including governors and lieutenant governors who make it a priority, that is where we have found our greatest success. and as i mentioned, last year five states enacted laws and that was from progress. if every state just past one law this year, that would be 50 new laws and we would be in better shape on our highways that all motorists would be safer. >> okay if there are no more questions in the audience heard one question came in online from the providence journal. specifically, what is the effective legalization of marijuana on roadway safety, and for the colon

state in the nation. we had three congressional 13-5, 13-5, 13-5. the supreme court finally had enough of it and changed the districts. it is now nine and nine in a state that republicans very seldom get 50% of the vote in. they also rigged local elections through the state legislature and hold a huge advantage and again in the state, they very seldom get 50% of the vote. i would like to comment on your voterest that just said id laws don't cut down on participation. this date passed a voter id law in 2012 which was later overruled unconstitutional by the state supreme court. 890he state's own figures, 5000 registered voters in the state would not have been able to vote under that legislation. the speaker of the pennsylvania house, a republican, was caught on tape gloating to his friends how they passed this law so republicans can win elections in the state. host: we will get a response. hans: those numbers were not correct and the state had a whole provision put in that provided a free id for anyone who

of the state? [laughter] [applause] because of your kindness, i promise i won't cancel your state-sponsored travel to the six county summer meetings in nephi. [laughter] a few of you might recall some of what i said at last year's state of the state. my hope at the time was that my eloquent oratory about utah's unique spirit of collaboration would capture your hearts and your minds. but no. all that anyone seems to remember about last year's state of the state is that i gave that speech with two painful kidney stones. a lot of people, including my wife, thought i was out of my mind to speak in that condition. but i reminded her of what my doctor had said: "gary, this too shall pass." [laughter] as it turns out, that was not true. he lied to me. nothing actually "passed." so, the other memory folks have of that episode is that i underwent surgery and while suffering under the knife, lieutenant governor spencer cox had a heyday exercising gubernatorial powers with reckless abandon for a grand total o

[laughter] i watched three governors give the state of the state address. back then, it never dawned on me for a second that i would deliver this speech. i am eager to work with each of things done for the people of our state. congratulations to all of you. [applause] and we must work together because we have a lot to do. as i have said before, michigan's problems are not partisan problems. potholes are not political. and there is no such thing as republican or democratic school kids or drinking water. our challenges affect us all. [applause] challenges affect us all and they will require us all working together to solve. despite our challenges, michigan's greatest strength is, and always has been, our people. it is no accident that michigan -- michiganders are a diverse, persevering, innovative group. just think about the people who built the state. settled inrants who west michigan to work the land. mind in theame to upper peninsula. african-americans who came north for jobs in the auto industry. .eople in the middle east people from around the world came

i watched three governors give the state of the state address. and back then, it never dawned on me for a second that i would stand here one day and deliver this speech. i am eager to work with each of you to get things done for the people of our state. congratulations to all of you. and we must work together. because we've got a lot to do. as i have said before, michigan's problems are not partisan problems. potholes are not political. and there's no such thing as republican or democratic school kids, or drinking water. our challenges affect us all. our challenges affect us all. and they will require us all working together to solve. despite our challenges, michigan's greatest strength is and always has been our people. it is no accident that michiganders are a diverse, persevering, innovative group. i mean just think about the people who built this state. dutch immigrants who settled in west michigan to work the land. fins who came to mine in the upper peninsula. african-americans who came north for jobs in the auto industry. people from the mi

the united states will keep a strong presence in the region. we recognize it will not be enough to simply reclaim the territory of the caliphate, as we enter this new phase, the united states will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with all of our allies and all those who step up to take a larger role in this campaign. and working with our coalition partners, we will continue to hunt down the remnants of isis wherever and whenever they rear their ugly head. and america will continue to stand strong, with all our partners in the region, to make the middle east safe for peace, prosperity and the advance of human rights. and under president donald trump's leadership, the united states of america remains fully committed to achieving a lasting peace between israelis and palestinians. in syria, president trump used american military power, together with our french and british allies, to launch precision military strikes responding to syria's use of chemical nerve gas against its people, and united states and our allies will never tolerate the use

electoral college was set up this way to protect the small states from the tyranny of the big states so i think it's unfair to most voters because it skews the way in terms of these small on populated states. over a good morning just ten ten am this choose to hear morse code when i was kevin zero in here with this thirty minute update for you thanks for watching ready to go to war over oil that's how president nicolas maduro described u.s. involvement in the venezuelan crisis medea accuses washington of stirring discontent in his country. the united states wants venezuela's oil and they're willing to go to war for about oil they are trying to fabricate a crisis to justify political escalation and a military intervention in venezuela made to members of the so-called lima group of gathered in colombia with opposition leaders and u.s. officials to discuss the venezuelan crisis the group of fourteen predominantly latin american countries is sending an appeal to the international criminal court demanding it consider the humanitarian situation right now venezuela kellam opens the latest. w

some states have rates to be a registered voter if you're eligible, some states do some states offer more options for how to about? unfortunately yes some states do better than others. i tried to make california the leader of the pack to yes, being secure, and being as friendly as possible. >> second for the gentleman from alabama. >> there are several things i want to share with senator, in 2015 we registered 1,199,000 new voters. we now have 3,473,030 registered voters. we have exceeded and surpassed any voter registration and voter participation records and history of our state. and in that time, we have done more per capita than any state in the union. to ensure that all of our eligible citizens are registered to vote and have an id. >> thank you very much, thank you: from missouri for the question. let me thank allyou witnesses for your expert testimony . we will probably have some additional questions for you to respond back to you i'd like you now to enter into the record, the final report on the democratic congressional task force on election security and article on voting pa

the state of the state address offers us an opportunity to get back to where we went and looked forward to where we want to go. the decisions that may today touch all of our lives. pastare informed by our and will affect the lives of many far down the road. as i looked down the row in see the former governors, reminded of hard choices they made during their tenure and how much would benefit from those decisions today. and the view from this crossroad is often obscured by our busy schedule and the day-to-day as parents,ace there's ofmployees you would need to pay close attention to and perhaps look at mother perspectives. a minute past midnight, january the baby was born. the first baby of the new year the state of white. when she and her classmates graduated high school, some of us will be long gone. perhaps your grandchildren will be among the class of 2037. how will they view the decisions we make today? rade schools of education we provided for them? how will this is the job and career opportunities will be available to them? what will they say about the condition in which we left ou

this is an annual event of state, allegedly. two houses of congress convene in the chamber of the house of representatives, the diplomatic corps is present, the joint chiefs are there, the justices of the supreme court are in attendance, the first lady enters to respectful applause, and then the most important part for me is the following. [gavel strikes block] [applause] >> the president of the united states. prof. ubertaccio: why do we think that particular clip is so exciting to me? not only because it would appear to be an awesome job aspiration to me, i think i could belt out, mr. speaker, the president of the united states, with an amount of ease. but what do those words indicate to us? i know it is so short, and it is not the thing that people are waiting for, but there is something about that clip that helps us to understand our constitutional system, the fact that he is announced by the house sergeant at arms indicates that this is not the president's domain. this is not his house. he comes by invitation. he is escorted

he was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control pearl harbor because of hawaii's location ships could enter point ports after disarming refurbish leave home ports rearm and go back fighting. the middle men who are busy in peace. mighty pike greedy sort of the time is very delicious the represents all the things it was happy it will be to be d.c. nine eleven and one third so what we see rising up out of the lands of people who are the. monsters that are injury talking to each and basically saying we're right this is what we are worthy of no credible truth and absolute also hold up again that piracy from the newspapers that we're seeing being left. that we've developed an unusual. view of the world because of our location we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada therefore we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear cooperation with others we've been able because of our power to impose our will on others. won't we here hello come on a charter school. by school level that we're going to be visiting. and share wi

as part of our military build—up, the united states is developing a state—of—the—art missile defence system. under my administration, we will never apologize for advancing america's interests. for example, decades ago the united states entered into a treaty with russia in which we agreed to limit and reduce our missile capabilities. while we followed the agreement to the letter, russia repeatedly violated its terms. it has been going on for many years. that is why i announced that the united states is officially withdrawing from the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty, or inf treaty. perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement, adding china and others, or perhaps we can't — in which case, we will outspend and out—innovate all others by far. cheering and applause. as part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the korean peninsula. 0ur hostages have come home, nuclear testing has stopped, and there has not been a missile launch in 15 months. if i had not been elected president of the united states, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a m

either or framing that the united states is trying to push on the venezuelan story. another aspect to this to us secretary of state has been explaining an only expected risk arising from the venezuelan crisis but it's nowhere near caracas. it could be the sham election the clarity of so president of. the cubans a bit this way like russia is there today as well as active cells the iranians are impacting the people of venezuela. duly elected the interim president mr morsi though. the evidence presumably very easy to get because if his ball were to come to venezuela they would have to fly from beirut to damascus and have to take shit from the big one of course and of course that area is under constant surveillance by the americans and others they would immediately notice that the idea of his ball which is it's not a government it's not a state would be sending large numbers of trained fighters to venezuela is preposterous i mean if they knew it they would have been hit this would be the headline news if you had any evidence of this around hasn't got a history of interve

which state are you from? you understand.>>> thank you, i think everybody wants to see a deal done, i think it's a good deal, a lot of people would agree it has a lot of good provisions in it, the tariff sting, they do, but there has been a value in drawing everybody to the table, the other major point, which larry was alluding to, long-term, this is a big domino to fall, to put pressure on europe and asia to get subsequent deals done, speaking solely from the u.s. perspective, but from a north american perspective as well, that's why we want to see that. i would want to ask larry, how do you see the tears come into play for the u.s. ratification process? will that be done in parallel? you see it doing alone, congress taking up as the ratification process moves on in the spring? >>> any slightly similar process, what is the ratification process in mexico, i don't know what canada has to do, but is it a similar process along the southern border?>> i will start with the last question, in a way it is similar, but

secretary of state has been explaining in unexpected. risk arising from the venezuelan crisis but nowhere near caracas. it could be the sham election that declared so president of. the cubans invaded. russia is there today as well as active so the iranians are impacting the people of venezuela. duly elected president mr moore though. you now bring in venezuela based journalist paul dobson thanks for being with us here on our to international so you're there you're in it you can give us a sense of the feel on the ground i'd like to first get your reaction to some news that we are just getting in venezuela self-proclaimed leader one by doe has said that he's not ruling out authorizing a military intervention by the u.s. to force majeure off from power he's speaking to a.f.p. what's your reaction to that. this is truly worrying. and i think it's a very foolish move by one where you know. if you have any chance of achieving his political objective of ousting the elected government he's going to need popular support here in venezuela he will

he was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control pearl harbor because of hawaii's location in central central in the central pacific so there's a central location that ships could enter point ports after disarming refurbish. rearm and go back fighting. the middle men who are busy asian or in peace. by monday night greet and sleep with the british police should they resent all the things it was happy for you to be d.c. ninety and ninety three so what we see rising up out of the lack of people who are the least. bit monsters that are injury. document of annotation. document. basically saying we're right this is what you are worthy of notable truth and absolute most of all my book and i see it from the newspapers that we're seeing. we've developed an unusual. a view of the world because of our location we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada therefore we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear cooperation with others we've been able because of our power to impose our will on others. won't we here hello come on

state of the union, k?"> tonight at 6 ... just moments away from president trump's 2019 state of the union address. the timing is historic ... as it comes just 11- days after a government shutdown... and 10 days before another potential shutdown. the president publicly speculating .... he may declare a national emergency to get $5- billion in funding for his border wall. thank you for joining us tonight.... im pam moore and i'm ken wayne... stick with us tonight... we will carry the state of the union in its entirety right here as well as online. and we'll have political analysis of the speech throughout the evening. this what it looks like.. live inside the capitol rotunda right now... democratic women wore all black last year for the #metoo movement.... this year they are wearing all white... to honor the women's sufferage ratifcation of the 19th amendment almost 100

the united states. this room was the governor's reception room, the governor's office is next door. this is where the governor would have greeted guests and during the 1860 campaign for president abraham lincoln utilizes this as his campaign headquarters or his office if you will. we have an original newspaper for an artist that illustrated this room when lincoln had his reception here . we set this up as it would have been when he would have known what this room was like. one of the most unusual things in this room is the large wooden chain that hangs in the corner. now we don't really know a lot about that wooden chain but it shows up in the original newspaper illustration. we have reproduced it to place it here. we do know it was given to abraham lincoln by one of the well-wishers in 1860 that came from wisconsin. that gentlemen said he carved that out of a single piece of wood. some scholars have put on their lincoln thinking caps if you will and thought about the significance behind that chain. abr

bigesentative: texas is a oil and gas state and also a big wind and solar state it is a big energy state. and i wonder if that is one of the ways we could think about some of these issues going forward. representative: thank you governor cooper and governor baker for being here today. everyday a comfortable work for the people of the california central valley, i think about what we do and how it will affect their lives, particularly in the rural communities i represent. while it is clear climate change is real, according to the national climate assessment, rural communities face more challenging obstacles responding to climate change because they dependent on our natural resources. in california we have seen those impacts, heat waves, fires, droughts, and we know it is going to get worse unless we do something about it. my concern and interest, governor baker, i know you worked in the health care linkage, is really the between climate change and public health, and particularly in public health, how it is going to change rural communities. governor baker: the air quality congressman bisho

are german cars manufactured in the united states a threat to u.s. national security i think that that is an important question to answer and in my mind it's not a very credible argument for the united states you making ok you think it's a stretch as well and absolutely i mean especially especially right now as i said i mean with with much being weakened if he's just basically going to fire back all these people who are not going to be in his sight in america right now it's just that it's basically like two different polls and we will see more of america coming up until she lives and i hope that she will use the power that she has right now basically to this myth and and these arguments that have absolutely no sense ok well malta when you look at this exports of course crucial for germany similar situation here to china fifty percent of the economy is dependent on exports i'm just think business leaders are sitting up and paying attention to what they're hearing from washington that this is a president that potentially could make good on a threat yes

it was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control pearl harbor because of hawaii's location in central central in the central pacific so there's a central location that ships could enter point ports after disarming refurbish. ports rearm and go back fighting. the middle east where it was time for him to leave should be represented all the things it was happy for you to be easy ninety nine and ninety three so what we see rising up out of the lack of people are these. monsters that are. living document of annotation. document each and basically saying we're right this is what we are worthy of notable truth and absolute most of all public and i see it from the newspapers that we're seeing. that we've developed an unusual. view of the world because of our location we have huge oceans in a couple of weeks neighbors in mexico and canada therefore we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear cooperation with others we've been able because of our power to impose our will on others. won't we here hello come on a charter school. and hear what you folk

program to threaten the united states as they would say the united states threatens them. the timing of the announcement was no coincidence please raise your right hand and repeat after me adalah new american president was sworn in. trump do solemnly swear. to tomorrow with donald trump everything changed some u.s. presidents had been more tolerant of north korea with others less so. but no president had ever threatened to obliterate north korea that had never been an option but when did he get it there was a level of support them in september twenty seventeen president trump gave a provocative speech at the un mr secretary-general. mr president the world leaders and distinguished delegates. welcome to new york. this is a profound honor just stand here in my home city as a representative of the american people. now north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatens the entire world. the united states has great strength and. page but if it is forced to defend itself or is out we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket m

it's a big energy state. and i wonder if that is one of the ways that we can resolve this issue going forward. >> thank you, governor, gov. cooper, gov. baker, for being here today. you know, every day when i come to work, for the people of california, the central valley, i think, what we do, how that will affect their lives, particularly in these rural communities that represent. and while it is clear is that climate change is real, according to the national climate assessment, rural communities -- because they are so highly dependent on our natural resources. and certainly california we've seen those directive packs, the heat wave, the fires, the drought. and we all know it's only going to get worse once reduce or unless we deserving about it but my particular concern and interest, and gov. baker, because i know you worked in the healthcare industry, is really the linkage between climate change, and public health. particularly public health, how it's going to affect the rural communities. >> i think the two

but every year, a state of the union is a dramatic effect. other than the inauguration it's the only time that all of the branches of the government come together. you've got the supreme court sitting there, the military sitting there, the cabinet sitting there, the senate, the house, the diplomats, spouses and their guests in the gallery. every seat in the press gallery is taken. so, it's a very high drama situation no matter what. >> do the presidents who have delivered the state of the union under unusual circumstances address what is happening outside of that night? don: it depends. i do not think president clinton made any reference to his impeachment. other presidents will talk about the circumstances of the time and they will use it for dramatic effect. and especially because technically they are the state of the union, is it good or is it bad? if times are hard, presidents will use that to say, we've got to do something, and they will throw down the gauntlet to congress to at least address their issues. maybe not to do it the way they

and most important lee, the states and local government, -- and most importantly, the states and local agencies are asking for more participation. there is no question, and we all know in this room, and will feel strongly, a lot has to be done in this nation on infrastructure. and we need to improve it, maintain it, and we need to do it for the health and safety of our citizens and also very critically important, the modernization of our transportation network is so critical for our economic development. that is always the number one issue, the jobs in our states, the governors focus a lot on. we have to move forward, we have to invest in our future, and the states and local governments are working as much as they can within the resource constraints they have to try to do with these issues and we ask for further partnership further action at the national level, at the federal level, to make sure we can move forward and invest in the infrastructure that this nation needs throughout the 21st century to continue our great economy and provide for the health and safety of our nation's peopl

and that is, if states and cities recognize their local and state comparative advantages and build around those, that can be not only very good for states and cities, but can be very important for our overall economy and i think at least that the idea of building around state and local comparative advantages should be a significant part of a nations, our nations economic strategy. having said all that, it is obviously very important that states and cities and their policymaking make sound, sensible and effective decisions. the potential, if we have evidence-based approaches effective discipline and rigorous evidence based approaches were better decision- making at the state and local level, is very substantial. brookings of course has had a long-standing focus on the issues states, cities and in some cases regions for the metropolitan project. but there's a lot more that can be done, at least in our view in that area. the purpose of today's program is to focus on how to make state and city decision-making more effective and also to focus on specific policies. policy organizations for the

not be safe and less the united states a detention. that world war i was just the start of that stuff and more bad stuff would occur if the united states turn its back. but franklin roosevelt was a politician with ambition. he could say the wind was -- he could see the way the wind was blowing. it was blowing in an isolationist direction in the 1920s and 1930s. police violence is internationalist views, kept them to himself, and went about his business. he got distracted, diverted by contracting polio in the 1920s, and then along came the great depression. and the great depression focus americans mind stephen moore on american affairs and not on the affairs of the world. to americans it looked as though the great depression something that they needed to deal with on their own. franklin roosevelt's became president in 1933. 1933. by this time it was clear to everybody that the united states have the most powerful economy in the world, and if the world was going to get out of this almost global depression, the united states was going to

a state -- [ applause ]. a state where our higher education system and the real economy are deeply connected. where good jobs can sustain middle class dreams. a state where our seniors can retire safe in the knowledge that someone is looking out for them, so they won't have to leave for elsewhere. it's a state where we shrink the economic in equities that have stubbornly existed, where poverty is reduced and the playing field is leveled. it's a state that thrives through living its strong values. it's the new jersey we should be. it's the new injuries that's together we can be. as eleanor roosevelt, a hero said, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. my energy and optimism for the job ahead are boundless and shared by the residents i met along this journey. i know we can make this vision a reality. this is my charge as governor, this must be our charge as a state. thank you. may god continue to bless the great people and the state of new jersey and the united states of america.

what it was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control pearl harbor because of hawaii's location in central central in the central pacific so there's a central location that ships could enter point ports after disarming refurbish leave hole in ports rearm and go back fighting. a little bit of who it was he gazed into in piece. by mighty pike creek sleep with find this very delicious they represent all the things it was happy it will be to be easy ninety and ninety third so what we see rising up out of the last people are these. monsters that are injury. document of annotations. talking to each other basically saying we're right this is what we are worthy to know little truth and absolute most of all public and high see that from the newspapers that we're seeing being left. we've developed. an unusual. view of the world because of our location we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada therefore we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear cooperation with others we've been able because of our power to impose our will

as part of our military build-up, the united states is developing a state-of-the-art missile defense system. under my administration, we will never apologize for advancing america's interests. for example, decades ago, the united states entered into a treaty with russia in which we agreed to limit and reduce our missile capability. while we followed the agreement and the rules to the letter, russia repeatedly violated its terms. it's been going on for many years. that is why i announced that the united states is officially withdrawing from the intermediate-range nuclear forces treaty, or i.n.f., treaty. perhaps-- ( applause ) we really have no choice. perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement adding china and others, or perhaps we can't, in which case, we will outspend and out-innovate all others by far. ( applause ) as part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the korean peninsula. our hostages have come home. nuclear testing has stopped. and there has not been a missile launched in more than 15 months. if i had not been elected president of the u

sucks in this state that works for the state. experience,s sam's taking pictures of all potholes and reporting it to the proper authorities. you can give your thoughts on the condition of infrastructure. we wanted to hear how you would improve it whether through raising taxes and other means and that is what we are focusing on, that report card. when it comes to transit in united states, that society of civil engineers gave it a d-. transit in america continues to grow, carrying 10.5 billion trips in 2015 and adding new lines and systems yet the symptoms of overdue maintenance and underinvestment have never been clearer. the transit systems have been chronically underfunded resulting in aging infrastructure and a $90 million -- $90 billion rehabilitation backlog. many americans have inadequate access to public transit. you can roll those thoughts or if you are affected by the transit situation, you can roll that into the conversation. john in florida, you are next up. good morning. read an article from about two years ago and the

but every year, a state of the a dramatic effect. it's the only time that all of the branches of the government come together. you've got the supreme court sitting there, the military sitting there, the cabinet sitting there, the senate, the house, the diplomats, spouses and their guests in the gallery. every seat in the press gallery is taken. so, it's a very high drama situation no matter what. do the presidents who have delivered the state of the union in unusual circumstances address what is going on? it depends. i do not think president clinton made any reference to his impeachment. others will talk about these subjects of the time and they will use it for dramatic effect. of theecially, the state union, is it good or is it bad? if times are hard, presidents will use that to say, we've got got to dot, we've something, and they will throw down the gauntlet to congress to at least address their issues. maybe not to do it the way they want, but at least to come up with some solution to the situations. >> do low approval ratings imp

disagreement between states oh it's especially between iran and the states it has its impact on us my call on my colleagues and oppose the full establishment here in iraq is we should confine our a lot of interests in that for the answer for the people of sort of iraq we should not be part of any proxy towards this or that so back in two thousand and seventeen you announced to make syria over isis in iraq but i says attacks still happen every day in the country and the group still holds a chunk of desert in the northwest was your optimism a little premature how long is it before isis is rooted out completely if that's ever possible. yes if you go back to says us of you know i was very careful i said we crushed that militarily we liberated or however. that doesn't hold any targets at his side the iraq and they don't while they're holding that holding some territory in the east in the north east in syria which is bordering iraq which is very dangerous because if given the chance they can go back to terrorism at the moment the extreme of the danger of that is that they're trying to wait.

state of the union? >> i was. >> and this comes up. what does it feel like? >> it feels a little bit like deja vu because he said so many times during the campaign he was going to get rid of the deal. but my biggest concern besides the team that worked on this so hard to get it done, the people all over the world who worked so hard to get this done, let alone the president of the united states, secretary of state john kerry, is what it means for the security of our country. the president of the united states is the commander in chief. he's about trying to make our country secure. leaving the inf agreement, the intermediate forces agreement with russia is leaving us more insecure and a gift to putin. leaving the iran deal is a gift to the hard hardliners in iran. negotiating with kim jong-il -- kim jong-un without proper intelligence is -- >> ambassador wendy sherman, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >>> when we come back, congressman adam schiff, chairman of the house intelligenc

state of the unions are tough. this one really landed. >> dana: remember, he knows a lot of the people in the room now, there is this disruptor, people are a little bit more use to him now, and the disruptor, and he so effectively used the guests in the gallery. he also had a little bit of humor. there was a moment they sang "happy birthday," i do not think i've seen that. i think it was remarkable, the first time in history the president of united states had to stand on the floor of the house and say, "we will never be a socialist country," and we should take that very seriously and follow through, very important getting the cabinet out, alex azar has a lot to do on prescription drugs, et cetera. >> bret: quickly, juan. >> juan: one of the measures in my mind, does it move the needle? we talked about the presentation and oval office, immigration, the need for the wall, it didn't move public opinion very well done mike much. it did not raise the support he hoped. i created a checklist in my mind. i think about immi
