seems to be a reference to the greek government saying the reforms that the eu wants are completely untenable well the greek government put forward a proposal on monday by was mulled over for a couple of days and what creditors including the eu came close to the greek good evening positions and there are of course important conditions and the greeks do not want 23% rate on restaurants and hotels because that hits the tourism industry and half of the economy here and the greeks did not stay to thrash it out further and stayed on for another day but on saturday they left as the euro group president said while talks were still in process taking everybody by surprise so i think what he is implying here is that the greeks are trying to disguise the fact they got something fairly close to what they themselves had proposed maybe not 100% but didn't have the guts after that to bring it back home and put it to the greek people with their signature on it even though many people fell this was a document the greek government could have defended in parliament and i think what he and other creditors are no

that is untenable for a lot of middle and low-income people and that's sort of where the rubber meetsin this law. we talk about insurance pools, what brought insurers to the table on this was the idea that everybody had to be insured. if you have a system where 34 states, the majority of the union doesn't provide for subsidies for these low and middle-income people then the onus for insurers is not really there. >> the whole thing falls apart, and i'll read another part of the ruling quote, congress passed the act to improve health insurancing markets, not to destroy them. you have to think the supreme court, besides looking at the letter of the law, and those four words, that they also looked at the economic impact. >> of course. and you look at previous decisions by justice kennedy, that says if the onus is the other way, the pressure is on the states. but the ruling in favor of king would essentially create two american healthcare systems, the have nots, where you have those republican governors in states in the middle and south of the country, and then the haves, those who are get

irony of it when i read what i read of your plan, if you allow them on the the street, your plan is untenable, there's too much of these cars, if you let them on to market it will clog everything up, if i stop driving a cab tomorrow that will be the case regardless, and the city has definite problems, anything that makes it better, i'm glad you're working on this but we need something like a construction czar, the construction needs to be coordinated this is a major issue and to continue to explore something like congestion pricing it's called some cities have this where you charge people to build through certain corridors at certain times especially for people who don't live in the city, but any step in the direction of helping safety and traffic flow is certainly appreciated, you know, and that's really all i have to say. they are not the same as the cabs, there's only 1800 cabs, these cars can be 30 thousand, new companies may come into being and they're not under your policy control. you don't control them, they're not assets to don't be bullied, i know they're an extremely powerful cloud

established by the states may seem plain when viewed in isolation but the reading turns out to be untenable in reading the statute as a whole. in this instance the context of con truck tore of the act compel us what would otherwise be the most natural reading of this pertinent statutory phrase. people who argued bense this awarding of subsidy the four words are plain. the chief says not so fast. the credits are necessary for federal exchanges to function like their state exchange counterparts and to avoid calamitous result that congress plainly meant to avoid. he first found the four words were ambiguous. went on to do broader analysis of the law. if we don't uphold subsidies going into the states that didn't provide exchanges despite plain words of statute were undercutting purpose of the law. here is how it started out. when the exchanged was established by the state they mean established by the state or federal government that is absurd and the court's 21 pages of explanations make it no less so. he ended with this tax created available only on the exchange by the state. but this court r

mcconnell accidentally became the lieutenant governor of south carolina and that ended up being untenable for somebody like glen mcconnell to have that kind of a high level state-run job. because he is a war re-enactor, he is the most aggressive and visible offender of the confederate flag on the state capitol grounds in the state legislature at the timest ascended to the job. it was too awkward to hold a statewide leadership position once photos like this started floating around. this is him dressed up like a confederate soldier at a slave themed plantation party. the other thing that glen mcconnell did besides being the most visibly pro confederate that state senator in south carolina, the other thing did he for his job is that he ran a confederate themed souvenir store. in charleston until 2006. base clay confederate flag gift shop. that was his other job besides being a state senator. so part of the reason he became the president of the college of charleston last year is that the state government needed something else for him to do. they needed somewhere soft for him to land after it

to be compliant with the deadline but that is not to move commodities or passengers which is an untenableituation if you're a passenger agency for a shepherd. the road was right now are in a difficult place with the deadline that could be congressionally moved. we again have a lot of folks evaluating how we look at the common carrier obligation and the mandate to figure out a way of breaking the law on one hand or the other hand with a similar situation with amtrak and commuter agencies where we are required to move the passengers. again we have the mandate and a passenger requirement and i hate to say we are being backed into the corner in which laws do we violate. and maybe the path forward does involve cessation of service. we are all looking at that in evaluating. we certainly worry about that as well. it's not tenable situation as i mentioned in my up statement. >> in your testimony mentioned turns within the rail conference about the ability of commuter rail to operate past the deadline as it relates to liability coverage. can you describe of liability coverage issues would prevent

by the state under the act may seem plain when viewed in isolation such a reading turns out to be untenable in light of the statute as a whole. chief justice scalia said look the law makes tax credits available everywhere. we should start calling this law scotuscare. there was a chuckle in the room at that moment. chief justice roberts came out and said he was going to read the opinion. of course a few years ago he stumped conservatives by upholding the constitutionality of the affordable care act. >> and death spirals that we're going to get with the politics and personalities with all of the different justices it's fascinating when a decision like this comes down. let me move on because today's decision could have a major impact on the 2016 presidential election next november is potentially the next big chance voter also have to give their chance on the health care law. lincoln chaffe is a presidential candidate and on the phone with me. thank you for calling in. >> good afternoon. glad to join you. >> could you put this day in perspective for all of us? when we're looking back as far as

the risks are becoming untenable.what we've all done and david rode who was held captive by the taliban until he escaped. many other news organizations, a.p. and others have all come togetheren around these murders and this terrible situation and come up with new protocols and safety standards for journalists in the field. and we're going to stick to them and really try to make sure we are much better at risk assessment and much better at training journalists who are going to be out in the field and avoiding risks. it is just not smart to be b covering syria on the ground. we wish we were there. it is terrible to see such a tragedy unfolding and not be on the ground but we have to be realistic. and dieane foley said america can do better. right in the middle of learning her son had been build can policies have fallen apart. president obama recognized that today and said we need to do better. i think the key is going to be holding the government accountable on everything that's promised. and i know the foleys and the j

state, under the act, may seem plain, when reviewed in isolation, such a reading turns out to be untenable and lies as the statute as a whole. so he is saying, ashleigh, if you look at the law as a whole, it's very clear that the intent is for everyone to receive those subsidies. let me tell you why this is so important. this is a key provision in the affordable care act. the government has been saying that if millions of americans lose their subsidies, there would be chaos. and in fact, chief justice roberts talks about that in the opinion, saying it would lead to a death spiral. people would lose their health insurance, because they couldn't afford it, and premiums would skyrocket. but we should mention that justice scalia had a fiery dissent today. he was sitting right next to chief justice roberts, and he said that, basically, the judges did an interpretationive somersault to reach this conclusion. and if the court rewrites a law to make tax credits available everywhere, he said, we should start calling this law scotuscare. there was a chuckle in the courtroom and some laughter, but it

michael steele this is a pretty untenable position to be in. because you want to say the right things and convey your message properly. how tough is this? >> it is a little tricky. and you can see just from the rick santorum comment how given the gravity of the situation people feel well that is not this. and so you have to walk that tight rope a little bit carefully. but i will say this. i think this affords the candidates an opportunity to show the american people who they really are. how they think and feel. and out of the safety box of political correctness or campaign structure and speak honestly as hillary clinton sort of laid out there and other candidates have laid out there and said we need to have this national dialogue. rand paul and others are trying to move in that direction. so while there is dangerous, there is real opportunity i think as well. >> opportunity, that is an interesting word mr. steele uses. president obama, the day after at the white house gave his statement and talked about gun violence in this country. hillary cli

the meaning of the phrase may seem plain when viewed in isolation such a reading turns out to be untenable in light of the reading as a whole. he said the credits are necessary for the federal exchanges to function like the state exchange counter parts and to avoid the type of calamitous result that congress meant to avoid. he said congress meant for everyone to have the same access to health care. the subsidies make it more affordable. it made no sense they should go to some states and not others. he was joined by five others to give them the votes they needed. >> justice scalia disagreed with all this. he showed how unhappy he was with the decision. what did he do? >> on the days that they hand down these opinions they sit the nine of them in their robes on the bench. the person writing for the majority will read their opinion or a summary of it as they hand it out. if somebody is really upset with how the case went on occasion it's a relatively rare thing, they'll read it from the bench. and justice scalia insisted on reading his from the bench. here is part of what he wrote today. he s

that doesn't work and they are fighting over what may be a currently untenable proposition of favors for puerto rico. although there are some benefits there are so many constitutional and economic obstacles to that that it shouldn't be the center of the debate. the center of the debate right now is how to resolve the public debt in puerto rico and how to work with allies. >> host: nelsons been a pleasure. thank you for joining us and i have enjoyed your book. >> guest: thank you. grassley is. ..

established by the state may seem plain when viewed in isolation such a reading turns out to be untenablein light of the statute as a whole. he went on to say these credits are necessary to avoid the type of clam tus result that congress mainly meant avoid. looking at the context make sure that people got affordable care. we will uphold subsidies that's what congress would have wanted. >> if the the statute of the language is plain we must enforce it according to its terms. established by the states and all nine went to ivy league universities harvard. established by the state. apparently they were confused. if you go to the definitions in the statute what a state is, it says quite -- it says right there that states are the 50 states and district of columbia. how are they confused? >> he starts out by saying this is ambiguous. if you take it out of context it can mean one thing but ambiguous when viewed the purpose of the law. >> all right. scalia wrote a blistering dissent. was he confused by those words. >> oh. no he starts out apparently what the majority says established by the state

established by the state may seem plain when viewed in isolation such a reading turns out to be untenablet of the statute as a whole. this was the scene in the oval office after the ruling was announced and shortly after that picture was taken, prauchl went to the rose garden. >> today after more than 50 votes in congress to repeal or weaken this law, after a presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law, after multiple challenges to this law before the supreme court, the affordable care act is here to stay. because of this law and because of today's decision millions of americans, who i hear from every single day, will continue to receive the tax credits that have given about eight in ten people who buy insurance on the new marketplace as the choice of a health care plan that cost less than $100 a month. this is not an abstract thing anymore. this is not a set of political talking points. this is reality. we can see how it is working. this law is working exactly as it is supposed to. in many ways this law is working better than we expected it to. for all misinfo

so hillary, in a sense, is putting her spokes pm people in an untenable position admittedly, i'll let her go ahead and explain all that. okay, when's that coming? later on sunday hillary clinton addressed fast track and the tpp at a campaign event. she still didn't take a position. this time clinton decided to take a page out of nancy pelosi's playbook. >> here's what i think should happen now. in order to get a deal that meets these high standards, the president should listen to and work with his allies in congress starting with nancy pelosi, who have expressed their concerns about the impact that a weak agreement would have on our workers, to make sure we get the best strongest deal possible and if we don't get it there should be no deal. >> okay. so does that mean mrs. clinton, that you are against fast track? forget obama, forget anybody else who's been president in the past. this is a new world when it comes to outsourcing jobs and gutting the american economy. does hillary clinton think that congress should read trade deals before they vote on them? that's really where we are. w

if i turned up many examples the situation becomes untenable. there is nothing you can do about it. i spoke to somebody who is very close to brian williams when he came over to nbc. very close. and he said brian williams wanted to be walter cronkite. that's great. nothing wrong with that. he also wanted to be jay leno. you can't be both at the same time. they play by two different sets of rules. an entertainer can make stuff up, simply to be entertaining but a journalist can't. that's why brian williams is in this situation. so i guess i would have to say, brian, i'm going to try to find something else for you because the situation just can't go on like this. >> all right. so try to find him another job we would work that out. going to make $10 million doing something else. by the way bill, i think the ratings would go up if they put him back in the anchor chair. >> they lost about it 2 million viewers since he has been out of there. >> right. >> and i don't think just temporarily. i think americans -- the american people love a second chance story. if he came on, not only with a si

being paid is another sign, another indication that liquidity situation is becoming increasingly untenable a missed payment not a default? >> the definition is a missed payment on a commercial obligation of a loan. all official debt bilateral loans between governments and from the likes of the world bank have never been part of the definition of default. these financial transactions and contracts tend to have a political rather than commercial element to it as well. our role is to signal to the investors what we think the probability might be that they would not get paid in full and on time. we are not in the business of telling the imf what to expect. that is not the role of rating agencies. guy: is greece's debt sustainable at its current levels? maoritz: the debt is high, no doubt about that. extending the maturities, but introducing interest-rate holidays, lowering the interest rates. if we have thought these loans -- every single restructuring would be a default. the result of these changes to the debt profile is the actual service burden is not that high. that is for the short term.

needs to see to it soon because the situation in the banking system and the economy could become untenable for the ecb is whether the ecb should openly be the one that pulls the plug. ion that one, the ecb will remain reluctant. guy: the ecb's exposure. erased again and again the ela. when does that stop? you hear noises coming out of frankford that they are nervous with the levels. holger: they are nervous about it, but at this delicate stage of the process to be the one institution that really puts an end to greece being solvent or greek banks being solvent, that is a huge step to take heard i think the ecb would only do that once it has the political green light from the powers in europe. guy: for the moment, it has political cover to carry on providing money to the greek banking system. holger: as long as there is some hope left that negotiations could lead to a deal probably the ecb will go along with that. but sometime over the course of july, this could turn. on the 20 of july, greece has to pay the ecb. if greece misses that payment or for becomes likely that greece will miss that

we have come down to it being politically untenable to start the process, you have to wait.the divide on immigration is still there. we have lots of low skilled people taking away low-wage jobs . john herman admitted to be she says it is not the issue -- at mitsubishi says it is not -- is immigration the driver? maury: new zealand is an example where you have to have a score to get in. they look at characteristics of immigrants and want to only let people who look like they could fit in to the workforce and are needed. politically, we are not going to do that in this country. you will bring in a whole range of skill. well-skilled workers, who can take away low-skilled jobs, you can also bring in talented people. tom: i have been doing genealogy, my people were seven votes after the mayflower, they would not have got in, they are a bunch of drunks. they would not have passed the score test. vonnie: no one is going to take up that one. brendan: did i just hear quietly a point that immigration costs jobs? maury: it can cause jobs, depending on who you bring in. the hope for imm

themselves to do the job until the truth because their job requires them to navigate through a huge untenable conflict of interest. to maintain the relations with japan by the same time publicly calling them out. require the state department to do his job to mattel the truth, and apply the tools that has been given in the goldman act based on the truth. we import congress to require the state department to read his report and be honest how to reformers in japan by holding japan accountable and declare japan to be noncompliant. i want to conclude by offering a solution. we have seen the situation before with the state department and conduct surrounding international trade. the state department was found to drag its feet and so the early 60s the 60s the partner state was responsible for conducting us trade and investment policy and having reporting responsibilities. indeed they found the state department has an inherent conflict of interest in dealing strongly with training partners were not dealing fairly with us. the pres. us. the present created a new office, the office of the us trade repre

decide to vote yes and continue the negotiations with the europeans it makes his position here pretty untenable. so i think you have to be looking at the situation and going -- actually calling off this referendum and trying to negotiate further would be a better solution. the question is is can he in all credibility do that? and of course the creditors don't believe this government will enact any reforms going forward anyway. it's a total mess. we have to wait and see what happens. >> thank you for that as well. yes we are seeing safe haven bond buying and yield compression. german ten year 0.785 and we're seeing it move the other way. heightened rist k aversion of course but just to put that all in perspective look at where the yields are at. 2.24%. a far cry from the levels we hit three or four years ago and that really highlighting that the risk of contagion even in this hugely risk off trading day is still less than a few years ago. >> you have to wonder what all of this means for the fed. a september rate hike is in play if the u.s. economy keeps improving. he tells the financial times ev

we will be in violation of the law and uncapped liability and questionable insurance coverage, an untenable situation for us. provide legal certainty for railroads alike. we look forward to working with you towards that path ahead. thank you. >> we've met several times. if i butcher your name as i've been told by colleagues, please let us know. >> thank you, mr. denham. and i would like to thank congress lapinsky. we appreciate your championship for transportation. i am donald cre of of metro and the commuter rail committee. i was lucky enough early in my career to be an engineer that i was very proud of. i operate trains every single day. it's an enormous responsibility that i do not take lightly. a few years ago i was opponented director of metro. let me be clear, safety is paramount at metro. and to that end we are committed to p.t.c. it's not without challenges. metro is one of the largest commuter rail systems in the country. last year we provided over 83.4 million passenger trips. we operate 11 lines for 241 stations four of those lines owned and operated by the u.p. and the b.n. chic
