if you move towards more of a legalization, they would be pushback i believe from everybody who dependsn massive amounts of u.s. and other assistance to support their police agencies. you have a for profit prison industry into united states that depends on the supply of people being arrested for drugs, for consuming drugs. what is your comment on that, on the fact that these parallel industries that depend on each other benefit from the status quo? and both of them would pushback against any legalization. >> that's a good point and i think one of the appealing things about legalization is that it could have the potential to reduce the prison pulation which certainly in this country is extraordinarily high. it's one of the things whenever we write about an economist would to a chart we need a broken axis to accommodate the united states. it's really unique in this respect. but you're right, for the people who run the prisons perhaps that might not be so appealing. one thing that interested me when i was in colorado just the of the month, asked the authorities in denver what legalization

donald trump's comments on abortion to msnbc's chris matthews, they've gotten a lot of attention and pushback across the community of people involved in the abortion issue. that is to say, folks who think there should be abortion rights and folks who say there shouldn't have criticized the policy. you've been arguing even beyond that policy piece, there's also a preparation piece. explain. >> i think when you look at donald trump as a candidate and you're trying to vet out his positions, there are a lot of folks who say that they don't believe that he's ready to hold the office of the president. he is just, frankly, just to the well versed enough in american politics, in american policy, period. and i think that when you look at the abortion comments, it's not so much for a lot of folks out there that he backtracked his statement almost immediately, or as ben carson said, that he listened to people and figured out what the right course was, and then adjusted his opinion. it's that he hasn't well versed in the subject to begin with. that he didn't know that he would potentially be all alone on

medical industry, doctors just want to keep trying everything so i was just wondering if john had any pushback. >> that is such a good question and leaves me to say to everybody here, medical directives are not going to do t it for you. i will tell you about an organization that has just developed in st. louis that's called cupcakes and death. [laughter] people in neighborhoods are coming together to so that everyone in the neighborhood they have cupcakes, they have cake, they have suites.ho everyone in the neighborhoodou knows what you want to. if you do not want an ambulance to be called a come if you do not want emt people rushing in and inserting it down your throi throat if you. if you are going to a romanic h catholic hospital and of course they have very strong perspectives on keeping people alive, that will not allow you the choice that you wish to make. so, when john and i with our sons in the room, his doctor in room the room, and our daughter who is herself a physician, she was on the phone and john said. she turned to the doctor had said can you help me and the doctor said morally,

good idea and the time when people look at their credit card statements and can revisit it and get pushbackre, they are creating some content but people know how you can binge consume content on providers like netflix, and i'm not sure that it's quite enough, so i think there's an awful lot of optimism here. i'm not quite as optimistic where netflix is concerned though i am a subscriber. >> if you look at obviously where this is, right, compared to where it's been which is essentially what charting is, current price juxtaposed against past prices. we know from the december high at 135 to the lows of february of 80 we've retraced exactly the halfway point and sitting here at 110. might be one of the moments where maybe not a lot happens and it just kind of stays range bound. would i rather make that bet than a directional bet. >> what's the number one thing you'll listen for in the conference webcast? >> if you look back over the last five years, and we've talked about it on the desk, massive moves in the after market because of pricing changes, how has it affected subscribers here in a very

very technical questions that don't suggest any vast pushback. we have to work out. and soand so those are the kinds of things. how it might work for basic training, the marine corps that is a conversation that they would be proud of. people come in trying to understand the issues. your willingness i really pleased. it's an important project. secretary carter has said, will make a better fighting force. >> thank you. >> the institute for defense analyses. >> switching the cyber from an area where we are seeing recruitment and retention eddie issues, there are a lot of moving parts. them the authority. what advice do you have the services and civilian organization. >> i think cyber comeau we recognize talent. in some ways it's a greater challenge. he is the services taking an approach. we have to train you. and it's very difficult skill to acquire for the flexibility and pay structure. if you go somewhere like carnegie mellon who willwill tell you computer science majors facebook, google: dropbox and dod. the top graduates from last year's program was offered a job fo

but the controversy, i guess, is whether the soda manufacturers will do a huge pushback and whether theax, in fact, will be passed along to consumers. that's a double-whammy for folks if in fact they have to pay for it. what do you think, sam? >> well, this is a very complicated story because it's not just about the tax, it's what the mayor wants to do with the tax. the pre-k initiative that was part of his mayoral campaign is meritorious in every way except implementation. and there are stories that are coming out now about the number of high-quality what are called seats in early childhood education. this is a plan that's being rolled out as we speak. it hasn't been put together. we're talking about a school district that's in serious financial as well as operating stress. so there's a lot going on here. plus, the rec centers and the bond issue. to kenney's credit -- and i give him credit -- he laid out his vision and he's put a plan together to try to execute on it. but little by little, there's been cuts of 1,000 little nicks. first it was 3% and there was a tax -- the tax was not c

another pushback i've heard is that the classics are elitist, that they are all privileged. they're for the privileged. and to that i say, it is a privilege to get to read these books, and we should give that privilege to as many people as we can. a lot of people -- especially the ones who are taking the trouble to go to college, we hear talk a lot today about giving more access to higher education, and if we really want to give people access to literally opening up their world, if not to something that is truly higher. in this edition we have guest essays by two individuals who agree with nas on these things, but for different reasons, coming from different angles. one is bruce gan, a creator of the create books curriculum that has been used across the country in community colleges. so he has shown that anyone can benefit from and enjoy reading the great books. the other is linda hall, who is a professor of english at skidmore college. she roughers to herself in the essay as a liberal feminist. she sees value in letting books cool for a while and letting them prove themselv

also got a little pushback from the president, here he is. >> people expect the president of the unitedected officials in this country to treat these problems seriously, they don't expect half-baked notions coming out of the white house. martha: your reaction? >> maybe i missed something along the way but i haven't noticed a lot of very effective policies coming out of the current administration that stopped the flood of people from south of the border. what we need to do again is be logical. what has worked? what has not worked? if you look at yuma county, arizona, they put a double fence with an asphalt road for quick access, prosecuted first-time offenders and put border guards on the border, imagine that, and stopped 90% of the traffic coming through. something that can be done along the entire stretch without much difficulty. we can do it. we have the ability. it is the will. martha: newt gingrich assessing the rise of ted cruz as the alternative candidate, john kasich would argue he is also an alternative candidate but newt gingrich is arguing republicans who would have been in fa

they are getting pushback locally.oming from intense local interest, local smart makers -- smartphone makers in india. they are saying do not turn india into your secondhand phone trash wasteland. apple does not want to turn it into a wasteland. they just see it as a great way to introduce the iphone in the market. india is not a rich country, so by bringing in and secondhand phones, refurbished phones, they could sell a lot of devices into india and get around the problem of a high cost of a new phone. myy: i look at the back of iphone, it says something to the affect of it is designed in california, and manufactured in china. what is india require in terms of made locally -- everything -- with that bnf -- would it be enough to reassemble the phones that are damaged in the indian market? if you want to sell a phone in the indian market, it does not have to be made in india. it can be made in china, but you will be hit with a 50% -- 15% import tariff. the new prime minister of india in introduced this make india policy

we have received very little pushback on common core in new york city in the last two years because we put in 80 minutes of professional development for teachers, but we also gave them the materials. we have spent an inordinate amount of time in the last two years developing materials that teachers can use. next week, for example, there's gonna be a curriculum fair for principals to come and choose materials that teachers can take back to teach social studies, my very favorite topic. we've already done them on stem, computer science for all. we certainly did a big push on high school writing. we have a scope and sequence for high school writing. all tools teachers didn't have. >> just for those who don't know, stem stands for science, technology -- >> technology, engineering, and mathematics. >> right. and that's a curriculum kind of focus, right? you want to get those kids -- >> yeah. it's all about, you know, hands-on approach to science teaching but also to computers -- it's coding. it's about robotics. it's about legos. it's about the kinds of structure that starts in kindergarten

there is a pushback from one of the lawyers associated with deblasio. i don't know. it is complicated. rosanna: in the meantime, friday, we had a lovely day, we went to nassau county. greg: yes, the council gets together and once a year has a beautiful lunch. and watching for fair and balance. rosanna: we gave awards and celebrated ernie and byron. there is lew there as well. greg: the boss of the station. it is our job to present to a couple of awards to the deserving superior nalists from long island. it was a banquet. we wanted to mix it up. we wrote something. we killed, rosanna. rosanna: well the jury is out on this one. greg: take a listen. greg: there is inside stuff there. rosanna: i was getting into the act. greg: bottom line, we rapped instead of reading the script. rosanna: it was fun, amusing. we had a lot of selfies after the awards. greg: one more time... all right. it rhymed. a lot of inside jokes. one more time here... man scape rhymes with land scape. maybe you had to be there. rosanna: now listening to it again, you had to be there. any way, it was

and so i was just wondering if john had any pushback. >> gosh, that's such a good question and leads me to say to everybody here, medical directives are not going to do it for you. they're not going to do it for you. you must be in conversion with your spouse, your children, your friends, your families. i'll tell you about an organization that has just developed in st. louis. it's called cupcakes and death. [laughter] people, people in neighborhoods are coming together so that everyone in the neighborhood, they have cupcakes, they have cake, they have sweets. everyone in the neighborhood knows what you want. if you do not want an ambulance to be called, if you do not want emt people rushing in and putting, inserting a tube down your throat, this is what we need to do. the papers are not going to do it more you. for you. and forgive me if i offend anyone by saying this, but if you are going to a roman catholic hospital -- and, of course, they have very, very strong perspectives on keeping people alive -- that will not allow you the choice you wish to make. so when john and i, with our

the defense secretary rumsfeld faced pushback had he tried to pull the u.s. troops out. >> thank you. >>> there is a growing sense the, we have receive an overwhelming response to rising threats, shrinking military. so we thought we would go back in and look at some of the interviews to air some of what did not make it into the hour. i talked with three of president obama's four defense secretaries. >> while each shared with us specific concerns about the president's you 52 of the u.s. military, and its role in the world. all of them shared one particular criticism. an inexperienced white house staff running wars and international affairs from inside the white house. >> it was the operational micromanagement that drove me nuts. áuá1!)v7&?rós+#gç2r you get a call from the president, that's one thing. that's the chain of command. you get a call from some white house or national security council staffer. you tell them to call me instead. and then say go to hell. and that's directly from the secretary of defense. >> what led to you say this about president o

david: they have been making some inroads and getting pushback. kunduz, for instance. the taliban took kunduz briefly, then the afghan forces pushed back. there is fighting now further south in afghanistan. what the taliban has done over the last year or so is taking districts, taking outposts. they have not taken major population centers. expect this fighting season more of the same, small-scale gains by the taliban, but the afghan forces, assuming they precede as effectively as possible, being able to hold back the taliban. charlie: one last question. north korea. what worries you? david: what worries me is that north korea has nuclear weapons, that north korea has missile technology. they have perfected their short-range missile technology. charlie: do they have the anacity to launch intercontinental nuclear -- nuclear warhead? david: they've never tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. they have done j's, -- space launches, as they did earlier this year, which is technology similar to intercontinental ballistic missiles, but they've never tested an intercont

so my pushback is this isn't a campaign-finance. >> guest: is to the extent that a lot of people dependon the amounts amount that we are talking about and people who are concerned about campaign finance issue are the campaign finance issue are concerned about what they called unlimited amounts of money and they are mainly interested in the presidential campaigns. but here there is money involved. we are not talking about enormous amounts of money because not much is being given that people were being taken care of all year long by the people that are there political operatives, so it isn't so much the money and the donors it's what the money is being used for. >> host: this is the cheapest way to get people out and win an election and if we had more money than we could knock on doors i've times a year and engage these people in real discussions so that when it came time for the election they would be engaged and they would want to vote anyway and as a result we need our money in politics so that we can engage them with more than just a pork chop sandwich and $5 but we can engage them in

the fda has delayed a push to require major chains to require calories because of pushback from sometaurants. >>> at least it looks like april. look how green everything is getting. live view from the storm team cam tower looking the neighborhoods. off montgomery county. the trees are greeng up quickly. it's looking like spring even though it's feeling like winter under this gorgeous blue sky. beginning our temperatures getting above freezing. later today we'll be in the upper 40s this afternoon. and the winds will be diminishing by later this afternoon. then hard freeze tomorrow morning. followed by a milder afternoon. it will be in the upper 50s by wednesday afternoon with increasing clouds. unfortunately, rain showers, cool weather, low 60s on thursday, it may rain out the nationals' home opener. stay tuned. >>> all you mom and dads out there know parenting is tough and sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself. "today" show producers have taken that philosophy and made it into a book. they're going to join us this morning with a little fun advice for us. good morning, ladies.

it's going to be june, it looks like and the pushback to say april would make us look more urgent thanare when the fed reduced the number of rate hikes from two to four for the year. the april meeting does not have the press conference and forecast accompanying it, so you would have to put chair yellen in the position of calling a special press call to explain why the fed moved in april or you might have the fed trying to creep rates up to quickly. the only time china has not been focused on was right after the fed delayed and they did not talk about it as much but the interesting issue is how much chair yellen emphasized china as a risk. important that you saw her isolate that risk when you see other people who clearly do not see as much of a risk and that division. i think chair yellen will dominate that for a reason, but it is interesting. jim bullard from the fed was talking about the live meeting. we assume the fed won't do anything but he said all meetings are live meetings and we need to remember that. that's right and he's making a point the fed wants to get to. every meeting l

initially there was talk of replacing alexander hamilton on the $10 bill but there was pushback on thatle reasons, because hamilton set up the financial system in this country, the american currency. and now the resurgency of the wildly popular musical that bears his name. so ultimately they decided to push andrew jackson aside. he's going to go on the back of the re-designed $20 bill. harriet tubman, the prominent abolitionist, will be featured on the front. now it will take time for all the changes to take place because they are talking about re-designing the fives and tens as well. but they should be in place by 2020. that's significant because it is the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment, women's suffrage. if you have one of the old bills with andrew jackson, hold on to it. it could soon be a collector's item. >> so the twenty could be worth more than $20 later on. thanks. >>> well, in this case their bites may just be bigger than their barks. >> restaurants in georgia now allowing dog owners to dine with man's best friend. i don't know about this. >> jonathan is

one notices on social media there has been a defendant pushback against the idea of egypt giving up part of its sovereign territory to saudi arabia. >> reporter: there has been a lot of concern about that a lot 69 population was shocked to learn egypt planned to hand over these islands that have been undejob description control since 1950 this relationship with riyadh. what happens if e gyp starts taking some decisions that saudi arabia doesn't like? >> it already happened. the egyptian government wouldn't send ground troops to yemen, hasn't been so supporti on the gulf policy towards syria that's an ongoing issue. i wouldn't argue that the relationship is entirely submissive one part or the other. thank you very much. nigh year gentleman's presidents is in beijing expect,000 to seek $2,000,000,000 in loans. spending power has been hit by the falling price of oil the expansion of the capital's airport in abujah. the chinese are providing $500 million loan for the construction of 5 new international terminals at nigerian airports. >> helping nigeria to develop infra structure. not only in

the republican pushback did not blow me away, but the rnc has argued there is a little bit of a turnkeyw much behind do you think the republicans actually are in thinking about a general election plan and building infrastructure? guest: i think the bigger factor on the republican side, other than the infrastructure on the ground and the ground game, is going to be how enthusiastic people are about the ticket. i think that is the real question mark, because you can have all the infrastructure and ground game in the world, but if people are not excited about the ticket, they are not going to vote. i think there is a question mark as to whether either of the potential tickets could generate enthusiasm among republicans, conservatives, and independents to overtake clinton in the general. john: i'm going to stick with you. it seems to me that over the course of the week, you have had ted cruz with this alliance, the carly fiorina alliance, kasich not messaging the alliance well, a lot of confusion between the camps. it seems to me like utter chaos. not only a desperate moment for the stop tr

you have a candidates that been consistently ahead, consistently the front-runner, i think this pushback that they're getting is something perhaps they didn't anticipate, which is why they've been so far behind on the ground game in terms of delegate selection because maybe there is a sense they didn't need to do that. right? >> i'm going to get you in, matt. you sat there quietly but you're going to have to wait. you're awfully quiet tonight. 27,000 people flooding new york's washington square park tonight for bernie sanders's rally there. stay with us for our brooklyn democratic race tomorrow night beginning at 9:00. we have much more reaction to tonight's town hall with ted cruz, his wife heidi and his two lovely daughters. at mfs investment management, we believe in the power of active management. by debating our research to find the best investments. by looking at global and local insights to benefit from different points of view. and by consistently breaking apart risk to focus on long-term value. we actively manage with expertise and conviction. so you can invest with more certain

talking about, and others have talked about forever, and that people feel there is some hope here, pushbackies. lou: well, when you say you're not a fan of the tariff. the fact is every one of our partners have obstacles, hurtles that have to be cleared. it's not free trade. it's managed trade and managed not in our interest and not in every instance but generally, we have consecutive years of trade deficits. 40 years. four, zero! and donald trump is the first politician to stand up with a national audience and say it's got to stop. what do you think, mike? >> they hear more than tariffs, jobs going to mexico, and when you've got a jobs economy where jobs are lost to other countries, this is something that seems to be in trump's wheel house because he's the candidate who's employed thousands of people. lou: you suggested forever, that kind of hurt that you would think i've been talking about these issues forever. it's only been maybe 12 years or so. [ laughter ] >> but we've got a middle class that's in deep pain, the people who aspire that middle class, working men and women and their fami

your subject worked against a lot of competition a lot of dissents a lot of pushback from a recalcitrant congress who thought it was unconstitutional. how did your character maneuver against such formidable opposition as jefferson? ron: hamilton was a messenger from the future. hamilton had a vision of the country that was not only not based on agriculture but also based on stock exchanges and large corporations and central banks. the world that we live in today. hamilton because of his upbringing in the caribbean as an illegitimate orphan kid has a sense of combat that he had to fight for survival. you can see this in his medical career when he battled with every verbal weapon at his disposal and wrote at inordinate length about things. harold: i wanted to get that anniversary note so we start out with a portrait of the combative hamilton. we are going to talk about this remarkable transition, transformation from the book to the stage. i think we should ask and i'm not sure if we can see a show of hands how many people in the audience have seen the play? [applause] i have to ask. you've
