companies, they re putting the same ten white guys on boards. when you listen to analyst calls, i ve never heard an analyst say, what are you doing about diversity on that board? we need to understand men and women operate differently. we have structured our markets and our boarded in a male dominated way. making sure we create an environment where women are not just welcome, but they re actually pulled up into those organizationings. how important is it to you? it s important to us. it s important to our issuers. it s important across the board, when we look at how we re making decisions. that s one of the reasons i think we see public companies or companies choosing whether or not they want to be public if they re evaluated each quarter. stacey, thank you so much. thank you, stephanie. we ve gone downtown and seen that fearless girl statue. you can see the real thing right next to me. stacey, thank you, and again,
through 2020. that s what makes this whole period difficult and challenging and worrisome. even if you want to be super hard core and tough on immigration, what do you do about this situation? i mean, two weeks ago, they said, we can reyes niunite the families in seconds, and now they re wanting to move the deadline. reunite the families in seconds. the core of the problem is the insistence by the administration to treat people who come here without documentation illegally as criminals. overwhelmingly, they are not criminals. overwhelmingly, they are people simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families. the moment you criminalize an entire class of people who should not be treated that way, that leads you to the next step, which is then you have to treat them like criminals. you have to lock them up. you have to put them in cages and separate their families. perfectly workable, if imperfect system, is that you release them
depickabldepic despicable and unpopular policy. in some cases, family policies end at the rio grande but on this side of the border, not the mexican side. by the way, that shows you the difference between what the republican party used to stand for 20, 30, 40 year as s ago, a what it stands for under trump. the most shocking poll was early on when the policy was first enacted. it was 40 points underwater with the general public. 66 to 27% of americans said, no, this is terrible. republicans, 20 points in favor, 55 to 35. that is an astonishingly awful thing. help me understand the rational. if the people illegally coming over the border are rapists and murderers and gang members, exactly what jobs are they stealing from americans? i think it is a generalized other. of course, you make the right
the game. so the new sec pilot program, you re going down to d.c. to talk about it, you don t like it. we re getting rid of dodd/frank. where does that leave us? i don t think we re getting rid of those regulations, i think we re looking at can we scale back some of the provisions to make sure we re create a competitive environment. that s certainly important. on the new things that are being proposed, the transaction fee pilot you reference, we re actually going the other way there and introducing government price setting. i really think the way it s designed, it s an overly complex and expensive experiment in government price setting. so we are concerned about that one. i certainly think there s a really robust regulatory framework in place. and we ll continue to see that. so for the average person on the street who says hold on, in a sub-prime crisis, i lost my house or the banking industry or the auto industry got bailed out, and i m still suffering. i m somebody would doesn
reporter: they were measured comments and disciplined, as well, almost more disciplined than anything i can recall him saying, reacting with on an issue with such consequences. that is why the president was doing that. he knows how serious this is. the white house has been in touch with senate republicans all day long. judge kavanaugh, in fact, was here at the white house for several hours working behind the scenes with officials who now are preparing him for the possibility of another public hearing. the only time the president showed a bit of anger today, when he was asked if judge kavanaugh should withdraw. he said that is a ridiculous question. judge kavanaugh is reporter: president trump standing firmly behind supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. he s an outstanding intellect, an outstanding judge, respected by everybody. never had even a little blemish on his record. reporter: he said he would be open to delaying the confirmation vote. i want him to go in at the a
