CSPAN Key Capitol Hill Hearings August 27, 2016

Very enraged by this change. Im hoping when he gets feedback from his supporters he will turn around and follow through on what he promised us to get elected. Him elected in the primary. Guest i like it that you are speaking out. You raise a couple of things. Immigrationabout first. Seen is that he is a work in progress, and that he is trying to define his policy. He has not yet delineated the policy. The talk this week was delayed. What i see is that he delayed it because he wanted to get more information. He was at eight tom hall he and asked town hall for feedback. It seems to me that he is doing what i want a leader to do, which is going out and getting information and talking and listening to people. He can listen to what you have to say. Change as seen any far as the wall. Know everybody is analyzing every word he said about it. I dont know what is in his heart or mind. I personally think that the wall is set. He also talked about deporting jails,minals in our sending them back to their home countries as a done deal. Is, this is so complex and issue, is harry reid and nancy pelosi and president obama wanted to fix it or could fix it, they had two years to do it with the control of the house, the senate and the president he. It is a very the presidency. It is a very complex issue. Keep speaking out and let him know what you think. I like it that he is listening checking. E is still the other thing that you raised is the establishment that you are worried about the establishment people coming on. I like it that you said that, because, one of the things that i personally like about him is that he is very disruptive to the republican party, and i like that. , thatshave changed when we have change sometimes we have chaos long we have change. I see that as a positive. Host her comments are reflective of the wall street journal headline. Donald trumps mixed signals on immigration on the campaign. Silver spring, maryland. Caller hillary is personal for me. I am 69 and legally blind. My wife who was an extreme liberal, as soon as the clintons got into office she gave me an ultimatum, either the marriage or Rush Limbaugh. I picked Rush Limbaugh and she dumped me. Rush said on his show many times that hillary will remind every man who has been through a divorce with the way she screams and yells, she does remind me of my former wife, who i cannot stand. That youm glad apparently got custody of cspan as well, or joint custody as well. Host a new ad that came up by the Clinton Campaign focusing on some of the things that donald trump has said, and families reaction. Heres what it looks like. Clip] go n help them to himself. When mexico since its people, they are bringing drugs, crime, they are rate this. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, coming out of her wherever. Our children and grandchildren will look accurate this time at the choices we are about to make. The goals people strive for, the principles we will live by. We need to make sure that they can be proud of us. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Host what did you think . This is a little reworking of the spot that has been running since july, they tacked on the hillary, at the end. Promisesherry pick from any candidate and string them together and make them look. If we want to take hillary parking and some of her comments and string them along, we can do the same thing with her. Vote trump does have a spot to answer this spot going on. Looking at theo deeds, not the words. This is a state of politics today. Every time a candidate missteps or says something, that becomes the thing that will go into the spot and get played over and over again out of hours and hours of comments, rallies, speeches, etc. Politicians and people who run for office must have different dna than the rest of us to be willing to do this. Im in all of all of them on all sides, that they are willing to do it. Fishers, indiana on the democrats line. Caller hello. I heard her talk about hillary. I am having a problem with trumps ethics. Not paying contractors, his investment. I dont really see the comparison. I never knew a democrat to take away rights. I have seen republicans take away rights and want to take away rights. Whisking womens rights risking womens right is severe. Cap this is beyond me to hear this. I am voting for keeping rights. Guest i dont see what rights mr. Trump is trying to take away when he talks about bringing jobs to the country, bringing jobs for women. One of our former cochairs worked for mr. Trump back in the 1980s, and has known him for many, many years. She told us that the issue with the subcontractors was that he had a problem and they had not done the job, and he wasnt paying them until they finished the job. Its not that he just refused to pay a bill. Back to people who work for him, they have wonderful things to say. You tough about the democrats and republicans taking away rights . Itt is a big discussion, but seems to me that it is the democrats who are trying to limit using Big Government as the weapon. The other thing that you you dont think that his ethics compared to mrs. Clintons. I cant see how you can even begin to compare whether he paid a contractor or not with the fact that the woman had a server that was not secure and was in exposing herries, and her emails to potential enemies of this country. How is that not one of the worst things that you can do . Host florida, good morning to donald. Good morning cspan and good morning to your guests. I have not seen any plan that donald trump has had put out except make it great, trust me and i am going to do it. He really hasnt given a plan on anything he will do. Remarks and comments that he has made, these are things that came out of his , from recordings of him saying things. Its not like somebody is putting words in his mouth. He is a racist. Dollars. 0 policy specifics, is this something you would like more from the campaign . I understand why, he is not professional politician. He has not had the same briefings, people sitting down and talking with him. He is starting from scratch and is working his way through it. That he ise listening and trying to form a policy, instead of telling us what we should accept from him. I would like to see some more specifics. As we move into debate time, he will have to be more specific been. Specific then. I dont understand this charge of misogyny and racism. What has he done to put women down . What has he done to keep women down . What has he done that is racist . That is why i am offended when sayle say that when people that i am for him. Meet deeply wounding four for you to call us racist because we support donald trump.

Now that the 2016 summer olympics have concluded, a panel at george Washington University looks at the cost of the games and the effect on public safety, infrastructure, and bristling politics. It was hosted by the brazilian politics. It was hosted by the Brazil Initiative. This is one hour and 15 minutes. Thanks for coming to the Brazil Initiative at the Elliott School of International Affairs here at george Washington University. I know its, you know, dog days of summer and were all going to orientations and receptions and so forth. But i think that for many of us that were mesmerized by the summer games in rio we want a , little bit more. So were here today, to have a conversation, to talk a little bit about the Rio De Janeiro summer Olympic Games, what they mean and how they represent some sort of historical trajectory for the Olympic Movement. I want to welcome everybody here, to the Elliott School and also i want to welcome the viewers of cspan to this event here at the Elliott School of International Affairs. My name is mark longevin, the director of the Brazil Initiative. A researcher here at the Elliott School. Very excited to play a part in building opportunities for students and faculty to learn more about brazil, examine brazil and even attempt to explain brazil, if thats at all possible. And today, im very excited. Excited for the olympics. I love Rio De Janeiro. And its very exciting here today to have professor lisa naroti from the Business School to talk about the rio summer games. But before i introduce her, i want to mention that for many of us that love sports, love the olympics, love brazil, and love you, it was a little bit disappointing to see a lot of the National International media, really malign the efforts of the Rio Olympic Committee and the city of rio build these olympics. I know my students and i are in rio in june. We had a fabulous time. When we left rio, we had no doubts that the Biggest Party on earth would be in rio and people would be very happy. And what weve seen is an Olympic Games held by the first developing democratic nation state in the world. I think that is something that some of the journalists lost track of. But i think we can correct that, at least today with our conversation. Obviously weve heard about some of the problems in rio, which you can see very easy, because its an open society and its a beautiful place to walk around. So you can see some of the pollution in guanavara bay, and you can see the bottlenecks in the transportation system. And some of the poor housing in favelas asliss well. But some of us who have travelled to rio or lived there in the past decades, what weve seen is a city under great transformation, that were going to learn more about today from lisa. And its stunning, the transformation for those of us that have been around rio and enjoyed it for decades. Im very interested in learning more about the details of this trestman eischen transformation galvanized by the 2016 olympiad. Also, personally inspired by the efforts of the population of rio, including raffaella sill va who is a resident of the ciudad de deus. Coming out of difficult conditions to be the number one athlete in the sport is a credit to what has happened throughout result throughout the decades to the conditions for brazilians to develop their individual talents. So were here to learn more about that and i want to turn it over to dr. Lisa delphi naroti. Master of tourism information program. Associate professor of sport management and the author of numerous books and articles on Sports Management politics vounting the Olympic Movement. One just published last year. I would love to read a book on the politics of the rio games so maybe lisa can make that happen as well. Or we can help her make that happen. I believe dr. Naroti just stepped off the plane yesterday from rio so we can get a very fresh perspective from her. And very happy that shes agreed to join us today for this conversation. Shes going to talk for about 45 minutes, share some information. And some visual images to help us understand the transformation of rio and the olympics. And and then after the 45 minutes well open it up to questions comments questions and comments. Thank you. Thank you very much, mark for the opportunity to be here today and to share my insights and experiences, having been just three weeks in Rio De Janeiro for the Olympic Games. I arrived july 28th, and we had some research to do, leading up to the games for the international Olympic Committee to see what was actually delivered versus what was promised. And then during the games, we were also looking at the utilization of all the different spaces. In addition to that i had, we were with 30 gw students, doing this research and we were also on a lecture series as well. Meeting with everyone from ioc members down to volunteers and really understanding how the management and marketing of the games had the opportunity these were my 18th consecutive Olympic Games, winter summer and the 14th time that i brought gw students to go behind the scenes and better understand both the positives, negatives, all the social, Political Economic , impacts of this major event. And it really recently cnn did a, a piece summarizing the brazil games and they said that the olympics still have meaning in the world. You look at kind of the recap of the challenges, the wins and the losses and the sportsmanship and theres, the positives outweigh the negatives. We all heard about the leadup of the doping scandal in russia and some of those challenges. The Olympic Movement still has to overcome. Many of you im sure critics of the Olympic Movement about how much money it cost to host, and i must say that the research that were doing, is aligned with the agenda 2020 of the international Olympic Committee about how can we reduce the scope and make the games more manageable, but keep them as special as they are. For any of you who have not had an opportunity to attend the games. Its hard to explain the magic that happens in a city once the games begin. I know many of you felt that the rio had overly harsh criticism. I can tell you, every elliptic games i have been you been to, the lead up his london had negative. It, terrorism was going to hit. It was going to be a police state. Why would anybody go and see these games . It turned out wonderful. Sochi, gw almost didnt let us go because of the terrorism threat. And i can tell you thats one of the best managed game. Im not talking about the politics behind it or money spent. But in terms of the experience from a spectator, they were brilliant. It was the same thing, i kept trying to tell everybody. Ive been to brazil a number of times in the summer, our summer. You dont see mosquitos, dont be so scared about zika. I know it is a serious thing. All these other, hyperbole that came about. Lets get into it and hear how the Olympic Games impacted brazil and the opportunities moving forward. So the presentation is did rio win, scoring the 2016 summer Olympic Games. Unlike many other summer Olympic Games starting in 2000, they had this monstrous olympic park that all the venue were in one place. Rio decided to spread it out amongst the four areas of rio de genaro Rio De Janeiro. And you have barra, which is the new area, where the city is growing. It is a suburb. More wealthy. You had diadoro, a suburb that is underprivileged. And they had built some venues there for the panam games and they said, lets expand on the panam games, use what was there for the panam games and embellish it for the olympics. And they felt that since diadara, it would be the second largest park in brazil, since it had no green spaces. And it would add to the otherwise impoverished area. Have the machana, i have pictures of how the mayor of rio took that area under his wing and redeveloped the whole area. And then you have the picturesque copacabana area. Which im sure you saw all the shots from Beach Volleyball and the marathon and triathlon and it was just brilliant. So lets look at the olympic budget because i know everybodys heard sochi was 50 billion and you know, london was beijing was 40 billion, sochi at 50 billion. London, was 12 billion and these figures are, are accurate. But in sochi, if you really look at the figures. Half of that was graph and they also built a new town. New railroad systems, new hotels, that was the whole picture. It wasnt just the organizing committee. The organizing committee was about so you have to put it all 3 billion. Into context. I wanted to start off with this, so the rio 2016 organizing committee wujt was about 2. 25 it was 100 privately funded. So billion. So the organization of the
