Her. A light anything but ordinary. She endured harassment and physical threats. Despite all that, she registered to vote. And for that, she lost her job. Then she helped others register to vote. And for that, she was arrested, and severely beaten to death on the jailhouse cell floor. By cheap but she pressed on. She became one of the founders, one of the leaders of the mississippi freedom democratic party. [cheering] they came to the Democratic Convention in 1964 to protest the disenfranchisement of African Americans and the absence of any blacks in the mississippi delegation. There before millions watching on television, she spoke of her ordeal. She gave a voice to all of us who wanted more, who dreamed up the possibility of better days. She reminded us of our basic values and our purpose. She helps this nation find its way again. 40 years later we stand before the most diverse convention in the history of the democratic party.

You just wrote a book that says a lot of what the government does may not do any good and we spend i omitted the word may. Isnt there some point of having a Budget Constraint here which says to the congress, ok look, live within these things and lets spend more on the stuff that works and doesnt. Thats kind of the idea. Right. A, sent that a good idea . And b, why doesnt that ever happen . Why doesnt it ever happen . Why dont they set priorities and spend more on what they should and less on what they shouldnt . I think its just too hard. The government is gargantuan. Theres a book of Government Programs, if you dropped it on your toe, would you have to immediately go to the hospital. Thousands of pages.

Administration, the president and the congress. So we do a number of things and i think its unfortunate that we suggest otherwise. In terms of accountabilrty, we absolutely know where were spending the money, down to a great deal of detail. You may not like the results that you see. Thats a fair point.

That was a painful decision, i can assure you, within the department of defense, but it was one consciously made based on a strategy that we felt in the aftermath of iraq and afghanistan we could afford smaller Ground Forces and still cutting but not as much the naval and air force. So i think alice is right, we can do better, but it is not as if we are just taking this money and sort of randomly spending it wherever we want and its not the case that theres no effect. Its easy if you mischaracterize someone. Thats not what im sayin

Attack in exchange for a captured jordanian pilot. The fate of a japanese journalist also being held is not clear at this time. Jordans willingness to make the deal with isis puts it at odds with u. S. Policy. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Annemarie, good morning. The u. S. Policy, of course, being that u. S. Does not make concessions to terrorists. The state Department Says it will not interfere with the Prisoner Exchange as long as it complies with international law. We may very well see by sunset in jordan that is the deadline around 10 a. M.
