7:10 am
security clearance because they politicize and in some cases monetize their security clearances. >> reporter: said those officials include six national security professionals who condemned president trump's signals to vladimir putin on russian interference in the 2016 campaign. of the six, former fbi director james comey and former fbi deputy director andy mccabe no longer have security clearances. on twitter, former national security agency and cia director michael hayden said revocation of his clearance won't have any affect on what i say or write. former director of national intelligence james clapper called it an abuse of the system. >> this is nothing short of treasonous. >> reporter: former cia director john brennan had harsh criticism for mr. trump's remarks after he sided with the russian president over u.s. intelligence in helsinki last week. >> i think anyone who's calling basically the president treasonous, which would require the death penalty, is someone that is over the top.
7:11 am
>> reporter: on monday, kentucky senator rand paul met with the president, calling for brennan's clearance to be revoked. >> i have no confidence in a guy like brennan. i think he's a total low life. >> reporter: some republican lawmakers criticize the president for even considering the action. >> did somebody breach protocol in terms of classified material or break a law? then it would certainly be appropriate. if it's not, it would certainly look to be just kind of political retribution. >> reporter: maryland's democratic congressman, elijah cummings, sharply ciriticized te white house, reminding it the white house allowed security director michael flynn to keep his security clearance even after warning them he was under investigation for his contact with russian officials. you have the editorial calling this the dumb idea of the week. it says it looks petty essentially. >> yes, and used the word "dumb" in the headline.

7:13 am
from iran. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as you say, riran has responded with threats of its own. but behind the tough talk, the government is really worried about u.s. sanctions of course but also, and maybe most importantly, about internal unrest. we were in iran in may when the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal. of course there were the usual staged "death to america" demonstrations. but there was also a wider undercurrent of anger among ordinary people, furious with iran's own leadership. with the lousy economy. with unemployment. with corruption. you name it. now, its rthe iranians who have joined public protests in the past few months are the ones secretary of state pompeo suggests should rise up and overthrow the regime. the trouble is, they could die trying. we saw in 2009 how the hard-liners responded to those crowds demanding change. most iranians want evolution.

8:09 am
pregnancies were may play into your risk of developing alzheimer's. why is that? one of the ideas is that it has to do with hormones. the greater exposure you have to estrogen and progesterone may lower your risk. another idea is when you are pregnant you produce immune cells that kind of reduce inflammation so you don't view the fetus as a foreign body and reject it. those cells persist. we know those people with alzheimer's have less of those particular immune cells and more of the type that increase inflammation. there is a lot we are still learning. this is very complex. there may be other factors, as well. >> researchers looked at fertility and miscarriages? >> they found the more miscarriages you had was also associated with increased risk. for each miscarriage it increased the risk. >> of alzheimer's. >> it's not to say it is miscarriage that is e risk.

it may be whatever is causing you to miscarriage may be underlying your risk of dimentia. this is preliminary research but we need to look into this more. >> if doctors see the associations how does it help in the treatment of someone who might be worried about it? >> i think this really points towards the fact that we need to be doing more sex specific research and need to be diagnosing women differently and treating them differently. one of the interesting things was that women tend to keep verbal skills longer than men. we use tests that involve verbal skills and verbal materials. women may be masking their symptoms so that by the time they present they present with a more severe burden of disease. they seem to rapidly deteriorate. >> hormone replacement? >> do we take it or not take it? we are recognizing not just for alzheimer's that timing may matter. if you take it early in your 50s

this really be something companies across the board can try? >> i think when you look at this or any other work entrepreneurial policy, it's important to remember what work is. work is three things. work is money, it's product and it's meaning. when you're implementing a policy like that, it's important to be serious about what are you trying to optimize? are you trying to make more money, or are you trying to make work more meaningful for your employees? i think what you see with these experiments is not that a four-day work week necessarily makes employees more productive overall, but it improves job satisfaction. it improves meaning for these workers because they can spend more time with their family. >> but without these workers, their company doesn't exist. how does it affect the bottom line? >> i think what you saw here is it didn't affect the bottom line. in the new zealand company, it didn't affect the bottom line. for deloitte, kpmg, it didn't

affect the bottom line, either.t plement a four-day work week because the work you see here is a desk job, right? you might call, figure out exactly what you need to do and do the work at a desk job. not all work is like that, so you can't have a four-day work week for every single job that exists. >> i grew up in san antonio, texas and one of the largest employers there was saa, the banking institution. they decided a long time ago that four days would be good and do 10 or 11 hours a day, and people would spend less time commuting back and forth. some people would work monday through thursday, some people tuesday through saturday and then make it a job everybody wants. >> retail workers have four-day weeks. that doesn't mean they're open only four days a week, they stagger the work weeks. >> if i know i'm working four days a week, i am a little bit more productive because i want to get it done. >> i think it's actually possible. work productivity is a little bit like rem in sleeping.

your head doesn't hit the pillow, and boom, you're in rem. it takes time. your thoughts start to meander and finally you enter rem. it's the same at work. you can't enter rem and have deep productivity. >> is there a down side? >> yes. if there are people that are already overworked for five days and you have to take that productivity and put it into four days, that's going to be more stressful. there are a lot of companies that just can't do this. if you're an executive recruiting company, for example, and you constantly have to take meetings with outside people, and you suddenly say, i don't take meetings on mondays, i don't take meetings on friday, that's frustrating to the people you're trying to commute. so it's not that every company is immediately receptive to this idea, but these sort of policies to improve job satisfaction and productivity are exactly the sort of thing we should be doing to achieve work-life balance. >> what if you're receptive and your company is not? thank you, derek.
