mark: good morning. my name is mark krikorian, i'm executive director of the center for immigration studies, and we have done a series of interviews with important players in the immigration issue, whether in congress or in the administration. this morning's guest is senator cotton, the junior senator from arkansas. senator cotton is a harvard law grad, served as an army infantry officer in iraq and afghanistan. he's on several committees, banking, intelligence, armed services but we are going to talk about today's immigration. he's been a leader on immigration issue even before the president kind of raised its profile. i appreciate, senator, you coming in and giving us some time. he will have to bolt for a meeting on the hill, so we will cut this off at 8:15 a.m. my first question is that you are as i understand, a sixth- generation arkansan. arkansas has been attracting more immigrants than it used to, but it is clearly not a leading immigration state. what attracted you to get involved in this issue a

mark: amen. one last question, we have cards if you want to write down a question, i'll be taking questions from the audience in a few minutes. another thing that's in the news, this is last week, the administration signed what they billed as a safe third country agreement with guatemala. guatemala is saying it's not at sea third country agreement but the point is to deal with the border crisis where people are basically using bogus asylum claims as a means of illegal immigration. the details aren't clear yet. we found a spanish version of the text, we haven't found a -- the english version yet but apparently part of what the arrangement is is we're going to give more guestworker visas to guatemalans. kind of as -- i want to say a bribe but it's a bribe for guatemala to sign the agreement. so generally, what do you think about this idea of a kind of quid pro quo to get guatemala to cooperate and more broadly what should we be doing about this order crisis? -- border crisis? sen. cotton: we have a

so again, thank you all for coming, and i'll turn it over to mark. mark? >> thank you, barry. >> first, i would like to thank the united states energy association for hosting today's session. this is a very important topic. energy poverty in the united states, it's also a global issue. i'd first like to thank barry worthington and his staff, kimberly grove r for working wih us to put this together. what is energy poverty? simply put, it's when a family can't afford to pay their home energy bill. they face difficult and daily choices paying for food, medicine and other essentials in order to pay for their energy bill. before i talk broadly about energy poverty, though, i would like to introduce today's panelists. these are experts in the field who have worked across areas both from associations, corporate associations as well as for state government. before that, i'd like to say just a word about the national energy assistance directors association or neada. we represent liheap, the national program that helps provide block grants to help low-income familie

mark: dr. kesler, you were an early supporter of president trump before he was president, how is he doing? >>, i think pretty well. he has faced the kind of opposition or resistance that it hard to believe any very few american presidents have had to face, only one who clearly face a worse situation was lincoln in 1860. by the time he was in washington. you know half of the union was -- in secession. you have two year long investigation. mueller investigation, all other investigations. it is unprecedented situation, not that there were not things that incoming presidents that could not have been investigated for. but they never had to face those kinds of headwinds. and given all that he has had to face, and overcome, i think his administration is going quite well. there much on the agenda that is still needs attention. and i hope and to that it will be attended to. between now and the election to a second term. mark: i agree. and maybe some of the republicans and at some point the democrats wil

mark: what about his appointment of judges? >> i am deeply appreciative of the conservative judges on the court. and i think that the chance of having justice in america is determined by the justice of thede supreme court to fulfill all the vacancies there were over 200 judges that needed to abe fulfilled and they were going very slow until recently and now the pace hasf picked up. but if we could get a category of judges that are right-thinking conservative constitutional judges, this country will benefit 440 or 50 years from the administration of donald trump. mark: his position on life versussu abortion, it has surprised me. it has been very consistent. it has been solid. do you notice this? >> we have been very appreciative of that because in thehe bible killing a baby in the womb of the mother is murder. we don't consider that a woman's right to murder a child. and we evangelicals oppose abortion and feel that anyone that doess that, if they do not repent of their sin will face god in judgment for having to account for tha

so it was -- it was really extraordinary, mark. i don't know if you'd love to share thoughts on that. >> i think you captured it well. again, understand that with each of these grants and each of these programs we're unlocking things. we're not building things. we're unlocking and tapping into the entrepreneurial spirit this is at the heart of every family, of every woman entrepreneur. so that's really what we're doing. i think it's universal. it's what we saw in africa, but i think it's just as true in latin america. >> right. >> you have people who are simply looking for a chance by particularly attacking some of the enabling environment barriers. we're unlocking what is already there. >> we're going to continue this conversation but we're actually going to bring a few more people to stage. >> real heroes. >> more panelists. the founder of industry foundation, which is empowering women in the creative manufacturing sector. we also have president and ceo of a company which strengthens land rights globally. candy wolf, executive vi

mark: mr. hagee how important is the selection committee. >> it may be more important than the first election. because of the dragging of the feet of this congress. the president has not been able to implement as much as his program as he would like to implement if he is not reelected in this next time all of the good things he has done, many of the good things he has done can be reversed. the socialist voice that is rising up in washington will take control and we will lose contact with the america we know. it is -- democrats are going left and hard left away from anything the democratic party has held up for in times past. they are way beyond the mainstream of america and if this next election is not a reelection of president trump our country is going to go into a socialist tailspin. mark: they want the government to take over all healthcare, all private healthcare and want to illuminate medicare even though they call it medicare for all. they want to illuminate ice, law enforcement, in othe

we are not just land marking the idea. presumably we would be land marking the structures as well. is that correct? >> that is accurate. >> so should someone wish -- let's say the developer decides to bail, and the property is available and landmarked for either a neighborhood group or another developer, it is very expensive they would have to replace the structures. but the interesting thing is, those are all structures that i suspect that are nonconforming, so there would be variances and all sorts of other complicated land-use entitled with this i am beginning to believe that land marking this property does not serve anybody very well. i do think the ceqa process is a viable way of finding, through the preservation alternatives, a way to do that. i have listened to some very persuasive comments and given the complexities for anything that happened on the site, if it is landmarked. >> i have a question for you, miss taylor. commissioners mentioned the park owned by the recreation and park department. has there any discussion with them -- has there been any discussion with them ab

god bless them. >> there's a partial truth to what mark is explaining but mark comes from a different time. back when police were supported and there were no cameras that were being stuck in everybody's faces. when i highlight the pantaleo effect, the officers enforcing minor crimes of loose cigarettes, where's the backing? it's easy for us to say what officers should do but we are not the ones who are there when it happens and we are the ones getting indicted because of public outcry over nonsense. it's easy to be opinionated from one side but mark and i both come from different time periods, and i'm still there and i see what's occurring in policing today. >> laura: mark, respond. >> well, i mean, that's all well and good but i can remember many times that i wasn't supported by the chief of police on down because we actually engage multiple people that were trying to assault us, rocks, bottles gunshots. we still engaged. we called for assistance, and yes, it got ugly. but you didn't lose your ground and you didn't walk away with your tail between your legs. if you're going to do tha

mark simmons senior marine experts at the humane society international welcome to you will michael penn in tokyo 1st time in 31 years more than 3 decades what's the point well the point basically is to keep a political constituency happy. there are some small towns along the coast in japan where the economy is this largely based on whaling and these small towns have political. politicians who represent them and they are influential politicians so it's more a batter of the fact that there's a lot on one side of the issue in japan but not really on the other and the pro whaling side politically is stronger can call ins is it enough to say it's cultural well potentially yes but i question that there is the demand no one thing that avoids much attention as a fact or a 2nd shooter poll culling all smallish attentions which are outside such as dolphins poll percentage which are outside of any international treaties month simmons' in bristol does this give the government a longer term exit strategy because they can get away from the situation of subsidising what is you know when it comes to pr

mark: exactly. unfair toing that is publicly rebuttal on tv without a chance to respond, it is not a binary index. i don't actually thinks it makes sense to do a correlation analysis on the linear input. so that is one thing. and the point has been made that labor markets are strong around the world but i would say they are a lagging indicator. we know that unemployment is one of the last to turn. pmi's still one of the best high frequency inputs. and we have not seen a collapsing global manufacturing. it is something we did not even see and 2008 -- in 2008. anna: that's the thing. that is one of the things that makes people say it does not matter, because it has been going on for so long. erik: it is because of trump, right? datadivide between hard and pmi is what we see with global clients all the time. if you asked how their books are and how is life, it is quite good. if you asked them about the future, they get worried. you see it when you break the pmi down into the present situation and the f

mark twain refers to the second mark on the rod dropped overboard by the sound men for depth. so one of the most famous pen names was born. inseparable from piloting on the mississippi. the civil war may have caused him his job on the mississippi, but in doing so it produced mark twain whose new claim with that job and with that river. more than 20 years later, after his antebellum days as a pilot, narrated in the first part of life on the mississippi, twain returned, now is an established writer, partly to engage in imagining and remembering the war in what became the second part of life on the mississippi. turning now to twain's imagining and remembering the war, i want to point to a motif that runs through life on the mississippi and that motif is the changeable nests of the mississippi river's course. please have a look at number eight. again, just hitting the bold. more of the rivers and creeks in times past. so on. afterward, changed its course. part of this course reversing the old order. the river running up four or five miles, instead of down. the changeable nests is

mark: i don't know. i think it came from the fact that my dad would always say, like i say to my kids now, you know, "if you want something, you gotta earn it," you know. "dad, i want a new pair of basketball shoes," 'cause i was a basketball junkie back then, um, still. was it about getting stuff or did you have dreams of being rich? no, it started off getting stuff, right? it's like if-- and then my dad being very clear that, "look, if you want-- those basketball shoes that you have right now, look like they're working really well. if you want a new pair, you gotta figure out how to earn it." and i think it started with that and then when it worked, it was like, "okay, i can do this." and then i can do a little bit more, i can do a little bit more. and then i realized i can sell. i sold magazines door to door. mr. levin, if i could tell you that for 75 cents a week i can improve the education and enjoyment of your family, how could you possibly say no? i would do the same thing in my dad's liquor store

and mark twain. he went around the world. it has been nothing but fun. >> is there another question in the front row? >> my question has to do with manifest destiny and imperialism. i think before the civil war, the movement toward manifest destiny explains the territorial movements, acquisitions from other presidents. however, hay was heavily involved in some which took a leap away from the traditional united states of america. that was when william steward, during, well after lincoln's assassination, acquired alaska. i would think that one can make the point that american imperialism, and hay was around all this, might have begun with the purchase of alaska, which was beyond the usual territorial jurisdiction of the united states. could you comment on those two ideas, manifest destiny, which explains a jefferson to some extent, and the beginning of imperialism under seward. >> yes. seward was a big fan of young john hay. he was sent off to europe after mckinley was assassinated. he was also the kind of guy in the early 1870

sorry, mark. this is a company that has 900 million users. -- time spent on mobile devices has now just crossed tv. the notion that we are talking about devices as being important i think is antiquated, my view. what we need to be talking about and thinking about, apple is 900 million users, how much money can we get from those people and how sticky is that ecosystem? not only as a way to get more money, but how do we elongate. a lot of the subscriptions are family plans now. we need to be talking about lifetime value per user and the number of unique users. whether it happens to be a watch iphone. an we don't care. time value for user based on revenue and time spent. that is what i think and that's what i think -- that's how i think the market is valuing this. laura makes a bunch of fair points but i disagree that the device market is antiquated. they need to run on something. people are not going to buy a uy a device or amazon -- by google or amazon device and run apple services. 1.4, 1.5le has
