>> the statistics are important to our argument but not necessary because even with the statistics, we know that officers make stops. precisely for that reason, to find the warrant. that is why they are making the stop. they can target communities. so even if there is just a very minor amount of words they could still target communities that may have a greater incidence of warrants. if this were were the rule there would be no downside. >> walter there is a downside of the officer makes an illegal stop here the officer exposes himself or herself to all sorts of consequences. you're saying on the statistic that i give you that if there is a one and 200 chance that there's going to be an outstanding warrant in the officers as well, i have my reason to stop this person but if i stop 200 people today illegally, then i'm going to find one who has an outstanding warrant. usa that gives the officer the incentives to make those 199 illegal stops? >> it's still precisely why the officer would be doing it. he is running the war in check. in this situation where talking about a very narrow set of

a lot of the factors lead to the statistics.if you look around this and take a careful look at the statistics i don't think you can justify that claim. >> is there any role for taxation at all to help people at the bottom? >> guest: what do we need government for. there is no question about that. i'm certainly not an anarchists. but the reason we need a government is to think about and go back before the founding fathers. the basic setup of the government was some people are born rulers and if you want to o rise up in life you have to get the favor of somebody that is one of the rulers. >> before the founding fathers -- >> going back to those days do we? >> guest: that's the ultimate system when you have these entrenched politically unequal groups the insight is that each of us is equal and the government job isn't to rule us but to be the servant and protector of the rights. what happens when we protect the rights equally and your freedom and mine we are going to create different amounts of wealth. we want to go and become a te

look at the statistics. we'll straighten it out. >> cnn sara murray is traveling with the trump campaign and joins us now. what is did trump have to say tonight? the two major headlines are calling for a special prosecutor on the clinton foundation and also his continual pitch, i guess, to african-americans of what the hell do you have to lose. >> reporter: well, this is really the first time we've heard donald trump suggest this special prosecutor, building off hillary clinton's e-mail controversy and saying it's time to delve deeper into those connections between the state department and the clinton foundation and simply saying trump no longer trusts the justice department to investigate these matters and that's why he's suggesting a special prosecutor. and anderson, it's worthy -- worth noting that as trump was talking about this, this arena broke into cheers of, lock her up, talking about hillary clinton. not only is this line of messaging red meat for the republican base but it's also something that the

how the bureau of labor statistics calculates these statistics, how the economy fared over the decadesd campaign policy ideas to increase job growth, reverse wage stagnation and growth between earnings and inflation. >> host: we are back, roundtable discussion about the state of the american economy. we have with us, dr. erica groshen, the commissioner for the bureau of labor statistics. this is the agency that tells us what a jobless rate is at the top of the month and what goes on with our economy. also jim tankersley, economic correspondent with the "washington post" to take your policy questions here this morning. i want to tell you first how we're dividing lines. d you can call in right away. under 24,000, 202-748-8 had you thousand. if you make between 25 and 50,000, 202-748. -2001. over 50,000. 280 of it 748-2002. begin with the latest on the employment rate. july unemployment rate was 4.9%. this is still above prerecession low point but still unchanged in july. why? what is happening in our economy? >> guest: we're continuing to recover from the longest, t deepest recession sin

there's no statistics showing there was an increase demand. it says that the number of abortions on average performed annually at the remaining clinics is 2000. let's multiply by three and we will get 24. there was 70,000 approximately women who need these procedures. i take and that is that accurate ? ? i would like to finish with one point if i could. ultimately the question before you is whether the right tear ear is .2 retain real substance and with the balance does it still hold. if that still does retain. it cannot stand the burdens that are imposed are far beyond anything that this court's county and the justification for it is far weaker than anything that this court has captured. it is a definition of an undue burden. in response to your question it means excessive or unwarranted. it could be excessive or unwarranted as compared to the obstacle. but also as compared to its need. they also said substantial obstacle. i would've thought that something you could look at i don't understand it would exist without the strength. it would be e

one of the things that has been fascinating for me to watch as you talk about it is this statistic that i learned, which is that 86% of egyptian women say that they have been groped or somehow sexually assaulted just by being out. >> see, that statistic that you mention speaks to the hypocrisy of tying religion to the way a person looks, because it has nothing to do with the way a woman dresses. the fact that every two minutes in the u.s., a rape is reported... and that has nothing to do with religion, it has nothing to do with being american. it has to do with men and women and sexual violence. and so in egypt, that statistic of 86% of women face being groped in public has nothing to do with religion. and the other way that i answer that, and the problem of that is that in egypt over the past few years, more and more women have taken to dressing in one form of veil or another, and yet those statistics of being groped have been on the rise, which says to me it has nothing to do with the way a woman dresses. and yet, when you talk to those women and men who grope and they are asked, "wha

. >> sort of every negative statistic. >> facts. >> the only statistics -- >> statistics don't lie. >> the only statistics that donald trump knows are welfare statistics about the black community. >> he wants to make us better. >> he knows nothing about communities of color. when will he come to my community? when will he come to my neighborhood? >> annual median for african-american households is $35,000 compared to $54,000 for everyone else. you heard in tom's report more than a quarter african-americans live in poverty. is there concern, sally, with this pitch he's making that perhaps it will be appealing to some african-american voters? >> it may be the only thing that donald trump achieves, the media, country around kitchen tables to talk about racial inequality, jobs in the economy, that is a positive. by the way, statistics are not what donald trump has been reporting. they are better than he has been reportin reporting. >> you're wrong. >> he said 58%. >> he said 26% poverty. >> reporter: can i make two points? one, african-american unemployment has been cut by half under pres

and one of the things he did was use statistics. >> he used statistics. and in fact, i had never read "how the other half lives," and i listened to it as an audio book and it was astounding, really, to hear a voice sort of illuminate his words. and you realize, especially listening to it, how he was really evangelizing for reform, for describing these dark places that he was bringing light to with his photography. and he's most effective, i think, when he uses statistics, when he talks about population ten density, when he talks about deaths on a particular block of children. that's when the power of his words really comes through. i also think that the power of the scribner's article was also attributed to the professional artist that got to engrave his photographs in the magazine. so, kenyan cox, for instance, is the artist that's translating riis' photographs here. you see chinese opium den on the bottom and that "5 cent spot" photo we started with and enlarged on the front wall is on the left-hand page. >> you know, one of the things that he was very

host: where did you read those statistics? caller: i got it on google.hat is an actual fact but you never see it. we have a kid killed out here be to death by two police officers. insight -- when you just show one side of the story on black people get riled up because they think no whites are being stopped and that is not true. host: david, you look at the justice department's report in cities like baltimore and ferguson? but youi have seen that have got to let the police do their jobs. don't charge a police officer. if you are a police officer and somebody is coming at you, don't charge them. host: hang on the line, i want you to see this. are more white people killed by police? yes but no. died in june. police received a report of a man walking with a rifle but when they arrived they found him speeding by in a pickup truck. police to aold led nearby gas station and exited his car. the department framed it as a suicide by cop. his family insisted video from the body camera worn by the officers involved be release. noble's friends and family gathered for

. >> yeah, and i think, like, very early it developed in me a deep distrust in statistics and how they erase individual experience. and so in life, in my life and my work, i guess being who i am, there's really no other way for me to look at it. i've been very obsessed with the experiences of individuals, because i think that's where the humanity of people is. in all of our great societal evils that we talk about-- racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, et cetera-- what you're really talking about is the erasure of individual lives, the sort of melding into, you know, this sort of one, blurry, gray thing that, you know, you call black and you put in a box over here, you call gay, you put in a box over here. >> hinojosa: so let's go back a little bit to, um, to talking about your family and why you want to talk about that in the form of a novel and why you want to tweet about it or blog about it. >> right. >> hinojosa: is that part of what you're saying, that with your own work you're like, "yes, i'm a serious writer, but i want you to know that i'm dealing with the stroller, the rain, t

this is the latest in a long list of things pointed out with japan's statistics and gdp data.finance minister said the person who makes the gdp data was incompetent. they have been trying to fix the problems, but this release again that therethe fact are problems with the data and it is hard for the government to do proper economic policy. as you say, questions about the data in japan, but what efforts are being made to improve it? report basically says we used a bunch of data that is not used in the official statistics, tax revenue data, other things. this was presented at a government statistics panel and governor kuroda mentioned it in the policy committee. it looks like one of the new ministers, who has been outspoken on economic policy, will be put in charge of fixing japan's statistics. andill get statisticians economist together to look at what the problems are and how they can be fixed. that the boj estimates will be part of that process to see where the problems lie and what can be done to fix that. this is not to say that the boj estimate is correct or the cap at off

the second most visited is grand canyon national park so that is a fun statistic. state. we have a hot when in our state this weekend. high pressure staying in control tomorrow. it will allow in a's stray shower but the heat and humidity are what is going to still the headline. same thing on saturday but saturday we will be watching chance of rain and even though the front is moving in on this map and yes it will come through it will not do anything for us. it might drop us a couple of degrees but it will be hot on sunday. out in the tropics as we mentioned earlier we have tropical storm gastonia and we have a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms that wants to in some form or another wants to come in but i do not think it will happen. gaston will become a hurricane later this weekend boosting to the north and out to see not a concern for us. the hurricane hunters were in and out of the system not the heat the all day today. a part but it is actually moving away from the mountains of haiti. it is moving away from upper level wins. it is heading toward warmer whil

carol: did you automatically hone in on that statistic?there was one other that referred to tulsa. that was that every 8 hours, a crime happens in the walmart. we were debating between those two. we want to speak to a broader trend. we decided to go with the national one. carol: up next, insurance companies are hurting when it comes to obamacare. we will take a look at the future of the affordable care act. that is all ahead of on "bloomberg businessweek." ♪ ♪ carol: welcome back to "bloomberg businessweek." i am carol massar. you can also find us on radio and on am1130 in new york and am1200 boston, washington, d.c., and the bay area. in the politics and policy section, a checkup on the affordable care act. we talked to zach tracer about why so many insurance companies are backing away from obamacare. you've seen all of the big u.s. health insurers say they cannot make money on the affordable care act. they're reporting hundreds of millions of dollars of losses. what is the problem? >> i don't think anyone knows exactly what it is. there

now the alarming statistics. forty percent said they were able to buy antibiotics from american pharmacies without a prescription. and four percent admitted to taking their pet's antibiotic authors of the survey were shocked with this results, they didn't have any questions on their survey about stealing medicine from your pets but will add that question to future surveys to see what the real percentage is. it goes without saying pet antibiotic and human antibiotics are completely different and extremely harmful when misused. here are some myths to avoid. all antibiotics are not the same and when you save pills or take pills from a friend you could make your situation worse. it's also not "ok" to stop early. use all the pills recommended by your doctor so the infection is completely eliminated. also everyone is different and side effects of someone else's prescription may cause rashes, diarrhea or something even worse antibiotic resistant bacteria also known as "superbugs." i'll have more information about superb

have you come across any kind of study -- >> so some of the statistics, i don't have the exact statistics, your honor. the court has found there's significant dissipation, but that you can back calculate if you get it. but there is a delay in getting the warrant at times. in the maryland case, you can get it as soon as 15 minutes, but a warrant can take as long as a half hour or as long as 90 minutes or two hours. that's page 37 of the study. so i think it would be a big mistake for this court to decide the case, i was going to say in the mcnealy footnote, the court listed 33 states which have electronic warrants which is not the same as 24/7 judicial availability, but that leaves 17 states that don't have it. >> but there are more and more every year, aren't there? we're now up to over 40 -- >> so, your honor, there definitely are more and more every year. i think if the court is doing a rule based on the idea that these warrants are constant, are always available, there's a serious risk that once you require that, that then the evidence is lost particularly in a breast test in -- breath

the values are -.46 and it is statistically significant. states with more lobbyists per legislator tend to have more cronyist regulations. it could be that more lobbyists cause legislators to enact policies that benefit these sheltered industries or could just be that more cronyist policies elicit more lobbying because they are trying to retain those privileges. we found a similar relationship between the index of cronyism and state corruption perceptions from a survey of state house journalists. a correlation of about .5 showing that more cronyist states are more corrupt. if you look at public ideology and economic freedom, i have got democratic and green in 1996, this is the pvi of the state against economic freedom in 2000. we want the partisanship to be measured. maybe it is feeding into policy causally and we do see a negative relationship although a curvilinear one. moderate states are no less economicly freeze in strongly conservative states. but if the deep blue states, the very democratic states that tend to have lower economic fre

because statistics are a part of the science of policing. americans really want to have a secure and strong police department. so what are we doing? what i would like to suggest, is that we open our hearts and to police officers that are diverse, but also, this underlying racism, that casts african-american males in a certain light. we need to understand this and dialogue about it. the many cases that involved tamir rice and michael brown, and walter scott. how do we help? i hope that we will think about a social worker in police departments. we will think about cleaning up neighborhoods making neighborhoods a place where police do not have to come in to an impoverished neighborhood with no resources so the neighborhoods themselves are mad. then, we need to pay our police officers and train them. and finally, we need to be able to have the element of de-escalation, something i have learned from a police officers, to give them the tools they need to address the crisis so that they can go home with their families. i want to give a challenge to

it's statistically significant. so states with more lobbyists per legislator tend to have more cronyist regulations. which way the causality goes is not clear. it could be more lobbyists cause legislators to enact policies that benefit these sheltered industries or it could just be that more cronyist policies i elicit more lobbyists. we've found a similar relationship between the index of cronyism and state corruption perceptions buts from a survey of statehouse journalists. again a correlation of about .5 showing that more crony states are more corrupt. if you look at public ideology and economic freedom, here i've got democratic and green lean in 1996, so sort of like the pvi of the state. in 1996 against economic freedom in 2000. we want the partisanship to be measured before the policy with the idea that maybe partisanship is feeding into policy causally and we see a negative relationship. although a curvolinear one. moderate states are no less economically free but the very democratic states tend to have lower

the statistic is not 58%. if you are throwing that out there you also have to throw out the fact that 49% of white americans who fit in the same category are also unemployed. >> that's certainly true. all of that's true. >> but don't you think it's misleading to say more than 50% of -- >> the fact that democrats have promised the african-american community jobs and higher wages. >> but again, i have never heard of an unemployment rate that includes people in high school and in college. >> it's a real number. that is a real number. he got it from the bureau of labor statistics. >> the unemployment rate was 9%, double the national average. >> i don't want to focus on that. >> mr. trump wants to focus on one statistic. let me give you the other statistics he used. the fact that four in ten african-american children are in poverty. the fact there are more african-americans than white children in failing schools. a lot of that is due to democrats protecting the teachers union -- >> that is so disrespectful. >> it i

has hadau of statistics a lot of problems with the labor force statistics.ty on some of the data series has to be put in doubt. if you are creating that many part-time jobs, i guess the ocean in a economy is not doing quite as well as thought. i guess the rba will look at that and realize it is not great news. people are saying they have been trying to push the currency down, and it is not working and demand for australian dollars is high given the carry. i think that's where we have been looking at where the aussie 78-80, wem here, could see a crack up in the mid-80's. a look atet's take what happened with the fed, another message coming through after that weaker inflation number. are getting a lot of fed presidents from various districts contradicting each other. what picture for you has emerged from all this? >> i think if you look at the minutes, it was clear that they have no urgency around hiking thes, despite the comments previous day saying september is still on the books. we don't think so. we don't think 2016 is on the books for a rate hike. theou

mark: no doubt that the recent statistics obama's approval rating and some of the economic statisticse the argument, we need change if it's risky change a lot tougher. it's compounded by the fact that the clinton folks main message is trump is risky, he is no good. he can't be president. he has a tall order. he has to find a way to convince people i think that he is ready to bring about change that they will be happy about. that's hard right now. donny: you know better than anyone, the election is decided by suburban married women who are risk averse and hillary will pound that. mark: a lot don't like her, though. trump talked a lot about the economy under the obama administration framing democratic policies as a reason for all of the country's urrent woes. donald trump: the obama clinton agenda of tax, spend, and regulate has created a silent nation of jobless americans. this is a city controlled by democratic politicians at every level and unless we change policies, we will not change results. home ownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years, nearly 12 million people have been added

look at the statistics.straighten it out. >> so what's your reaction, refrain to african-american voters now is what the hell do you have to lose? bakari? >> i have a lot to lose voting for donald trump. it gets more and more insulting, more and more condescending. it shows the reason you have to have diversity in your workplace, diversity in your business, diversity on your campaigns because i believe if he had some african-americans around him, they may be able to get to donald trump and tell him that's not how you talk to people. one of the things tr s donald t has done over the past few weeks is paint african-americans and hispanics with this very broad brush, not talking about the african-americans who get up every single day and work hard at two, three job to provide for their families. not talking about the african-americans who are teachers who actually are parents of students who go to parent/teacher conference. >> he's saying those are people he wants to reach that he can give them a better than th

statistically speaking, the campaign faced disaster.polls and predictions kept saying. but statistics are merely reflections of hard facts, not the whole human story. one part of the real story can be found in the areas dissected statistically. areas in which the working men live swing easily to wallace. bell gardens within the county of los angeles. population, 30,000. democrat 4 to 1. by the end of the campaign, wallace claims more registered voters than the totals in the democratic and republican parties. huntington park, a residential section bordering an industrial area. wallace workers open an office, and the area swings to wallace. but response is two-sided. both democrat and republican go for wallace. for example, in the city of maywood, december 1966, there are over 4,000 democrats. nearly 2,000 republicans. by the end of the campaign democrats lose nearly 2,000 of the faithful while republicans lose nearly 1,000. the reasons to change appear much alike. >> i hereby give my support to governor george c. wallace. i feel that gov
