“But what happened was it started going out over Twitter. During the speech, that I was looking at my watch while the president was speaking, and that was I shouldn't have been doing that. The president's had a big old clock right over his head while he's speaking. If I want to know the time, I just do that. But I was just looking down my body. So then I had to put out after it. No, I was trying to get my watch. And then people who had to watch or something like that, oh, okay.”

“And it took a while. Then the government would say, well, you can receive information, but you can never. You can never respond Because that opens up the system, you know, this and that. I mean, we had a big fight over the digital signature. You would have thought that that was the most revolutionary thing. And how could they ever possibly pass such a thing? But we fought the fight. And, you know, something as simple as that really opened up a lot of commerce on the internet. So I think now things are moving much more rapidly because the world is. Not because Congress took the lead, mind you. Right, right. Are you digital?”

“That you Well, the fact is for Mount Washington DC, nothing is more eloquent to a member of Congress than the voice of his or her own constituents. So the entrepreneurial spirit of what is invented here and what is sold across America is a better messenger to the members of Congress that the better get with it in terms of it. But it's hard because when we first went there but working with my colleagues, we would say Like in the Stone Age, stone tablets, you've got to get rid of some of this stuff. You must stick it.”

“Everybody said, Oh, every question, every talk show, do you spoil gay marriage? Yes, because I don't believe in discrimination. I'm respectful people. And that was how they were going to label me.

“As I say, listen to me when I speak because you will be saying what I'm saying. It's just a matter of time. Right. And my goal is it's inevitable to us that you'll be saying this.

“I know. It's interesting. It's wonderful to visit all of those places. In the earlier days, I have to say this, we would go back our California delegation ever moved to Washington full of ideas about what we've seen, what the possibilities are, the innovation, the disruption, the exhilaration of it all. And you go to Washington, which is really a city of the status quo. Yes, absolutely. I had noticed that. Now, as I've said before, it's a city of the status quo.

“Well, again, the K through 12, the basic education and K through three. Get children oriented that way, even earlier, early childhood education, the president's initiative for universal pre-K All of that is important to keep children prepared to learn. And we have a budget debate in the Congress that is not friendly to education because they want to cut, for example, not increase Pell grants to the extent that they should. And they say that's because they want to reduce the deficit. But it's really important to know that nothing decreases the budget. Nothing brings more money to the Treasury than the education of the American people early childhood K through 12 higher education post-grad lifetime learning. So again, in our budget debates is where some of this falls by the by, but that's what the American people have to know in a campaign.”

“Well, one of the participants today. Said that we should copy what some other countries deal with require. I don't know that that would hold up here. I just don't know that we could get that accomplished. But I do think, and I've spoken at some of the tech companies about it. Show women in your top ranks, and you will attract the best women talent to your company. But it's also about education. The workforce is a bad education. Innovation begins in the classroom. We have to have well-trained teachers part of the Innovation Agenda 1 was to have 100,000 more well-trained science teachers in a limited amount of time. We have to continue to do that. Have children learning something if the teachers aren't equipped to teach it. And of course, technology is”

“Diversity. Diversity was a beautiful part of the discussion because at least every other person, if not more, talked about needing diversity, whether it's women in the higher echelons or young girls taking STEM and STEAM. A at an A. That's the arts that become steam, the diversity in terms of ethnic diversity. It's a source of our strength. And it's going to be essential to our preeminence”

“I've always said I said to President Bush and I've said to President Obama, if you want to pass an immigration bill, pass a big jobs bill first. If you want to pass a trade bill, pass a big jobs bill first. Because whether it's true or not, in their minds it's true that some immigrant took their job, which they didn't. Probably immigration has counted for.”

“I think we have to have a democratic president, whoever she may be, as I keep saying, and that we have Make enough strides either to take the house and the Senate, certainly take the Senate, make a great strides in the House. But it's not just about electing people. It's about changing the debate in our country. Right. Just take a deep breath, lower the heat on this. Yes, there are people in our country who are fearful of minority empowerment. Concerned about women's empowerment, immigration threatens them and who they used to be or what it works.”

“But we've always said all for one and one for all that it would be comprehensive. And I say this to the immigration groups. We owe a really big debt of gratitude to the tech community because on any given day they may have been able to get their particular bills passed. But they have stuck with the value. Of having comprehensive immigration reform. So we're grateful to the tech community. And”

“No, this is what I want to say about the tech community, which has been, as you mentioned earlier, a champion on this. Bill Gates, this has been one of the issues that I think he's almost ready to give up on us in Congress, but all of Silicon Valley, the tech community throughout the country. And of course, there's an interest in H-1V visas and stapling a green card to the diploma, which we advocated in the immigration of Gen 01.”

“Nowhere to Strange Place because of 4-4, the lower court ruled against the president, very ideological decision, but nonetheless at 44, if it's a tie, then the lower court stands. So that's why it's important for president to be able to nominate a person. But you know what? I still think the legal authority and the precedents will hold the president in good stead. So I'm optimistic about what the court might do. It still would be better if we could have a full court.”

“Well, I think that Donald Trump is a gift that keeps on giving with his crass statements he actually defines the issue even more clearly to some people who may not be as familiar. So I think, well, our next president, whoever she may be, will go into office with a public support for comprehensive immigration reform. But before then we're waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on President Obama's initiatives by executive action. President Obama has done great things to protect their dreamers, the young people who came, as well as their parents who need the protection as well. The Republicans complained about that they took it to court. It's now to the Supreme Court. But the fact is that the president is on very firm footing legally in terms of the law and also from the standpoint of precedence. Every president since Eisenhower has...”

“Doing that. Well, of course, because there's a fear of invigoration. Immigration is the constant reinvigoration of America. People coming with their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations for their families, their optimism, their courage. I make America more American with their family values, their commitment to community, scholarship, and the rest, and the work ethic.”

“Yes, well, where we are on it is that 70%, at least, of the American people support comprehensive immigration reform. We have a bipartisan support in the Congress. We just can't get them to bring up a vote. But when we had the majority in President Bush was president, as soon as we won, I was in the meeting with him with their leadership, and he said, now we can pass immigration reform. And Senator McConnell said, no, Mr. President, we don't have the votes. And President Bush said, but you have all those Republican senators who are co-sponsors of the bill, to which Mitch said, just because they're co-sponsors doesn't mean they're going to vote for the bill. Right. President Bush was a great champion for immigration.”

“Some were quite obvious, but you have to make it a priority, and that was our commitment. Education K through 12, R&D, modernization, and made permanent R&D tax credits, issues that relate to the cost of energy, the cost of health care, and the rest. We established ARPA-E and all of that. That didn't exist before our innovation agenda, and now that's a facilitator for small businesses. We want to do more, of course. We had 22 planks, of all of them 21 became law. We passed much of it when we took the majority in the Competes Act. And then when President Obama became president, we were able to fund a great deal of it to the tunes of tens of billions of dollars more than that even. And all of it, again, 22 planks, 21 passed, one didn't comprehensive immigration reform.”

“We are in our country. And the idea was if we are to honor the vows of our country, he said, we must be first, and therefore we intend to be first. He went on about it. In other words, to maintain our preeminence in the world in innovation, we began our innovation agenda tour of the country. We began in Silicon Valley under the leadership of President Hennessey, nonpartisan at Stanford, yes, at Stanford.
