Do you and arnie duncan sort of sit down and talk about how you interact and how to change what education means and what continuing education means in the labor front . I would ask the president of conversation. What the president understands, and i think the biggest adjustment we have to do is there are multiple pathways to the prosperity and apprenticeship is one of them. Community college etc. And the workforce innovation and opportunity that is a joint venture between the department of education and the department of labor. But it does is end and that the collaboration between the two agencies. One more quick example weve done a lot of collaboration and redesign in high school for the career Technical Education so the sixyear High School Model that some of you in the audience and twitter may have seen is a remarkable example of how to create pathways to the middle class. At the end of which youve gotten a Frame Associates degree. I went to the academy in chicago and that school is
Allowing you go i us to dont even more while were economic successful city i want to say congratulations again to friend of mine jokes who is been a champion and Financial Literacy his own professional life i remember in those years when i was a Zoning Administrator i was introduced and jose was out there with carmen chu and others on the west side talking to High School Students about Financial Literacy asked me to recall the first time i had my own bank account. And i say ive been trying to think about the old days no seattle i think that was bank of america a different name at the time but, yeah and i was kind of excited to establish an account that meant i was feeling more independent i was in charge ever myself and be able to put money into any account and have my job put money into that account and watch it grow and becoming a Young College student didnt have a lot but it did make we feel secure even and certainly independent i certainly know that is a similar feeling for all the
Back i could only respond through that email. But what i meant to say is we couldnt find out who was sending it. It was obvious that they were english speaking, however, because, you know, of the commander language. Was there specifics about a ransom number or conditions . When they initially reached out to us, yes. It was ridiculous. Like they wanted 100 million euro or all muslim prisoners kind of thing. And you know, fbi, you know, of course we right away sent tight the fbi and they just said keep them talking, keep them talking. But within a few emails when they realized they were just talking to the family, they had absolutely no interest. And so they cut off discussions until the only other time, sir, was when the french came out in march of 2014, they came out with another very specific offer to negotiate for all americans and all of the british. And your primary source of contact in the United States was the fbi . We had no primary source. I did have one we had one fbi agent wh
To put forward, so, i commend the u. S. Senate proappropriatio committee providing some assistance in that regard. I want to just invite david to ask, to address whether the, whether we can wait another 30 or 40 or 50 years to take action and expect not to have consequences. Thank you for the question. Not acting increases the cost of action. The longer we delay in action will increase the cost of action. Because we will have infrastructure lock in and other dynamics that will make it increasingly difficult to in fact shift to low carbon xwhis. We have the opportunity and i think we in fact are on the trajectory as lisa and others have said, we are on the trajectory of moving very rapidly toward that low carbon economy. The price of solar panels for example has fallen 75 in the last five years. And we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs in doing so . And we are in fact creating, there are 100,000 jobs in texas alone. Thank you. I want to welcome sam adams, who works with the World
The Justice Department statistics show that nationally only 16 of state prisoners are in for drug crimes and less than 4 are there for drug possession. And yet, our very president is going around stating an untruth. That is because this is an administration i think that is ruled by an ideology that claims that Law Enforcement is somehow racist. And that, as you say, is a disservice to officers of all colors who are there to help the good people in the community. Mr. Mccarthy, you rightly observed that the title this hearing, the war on police, is directed more broadly than just the department of justice. But it is rather what i see as a pervasive, to use a term of art, pattern and practice across the federal government and this administration, and indeed, i think no one bears more direct responsibility than the president. As ms. Macdonald just noted, president obama has directly tried to attack his own fbi director for observing that Violent Crime and homicides are increasing. We saw a
