roger tye might surprise many people that roger tawney was a corporate reformer and very much opposed to corporate rights and when he was chief justice of the supreme court that a major push to scale back and limit the constitutional rights of business corporations and oddly he thought african-americans had no right that the white man was bound to respect and thought corporations had few rights that people were bound to respect. >> adam winkler, hasn't been any effort to take these constitutional protections away from corporations? >> guest: there have been efforts occasionally and right now there's a big movement underway with citizens united, 28 the moment to the constitution would say the rights help under this constitution only belong to natural people and not to corporations or businesses. that's receiving a lot of support with about 16 states and a couple hundred municipalities have voiced support for such an amendment so that's addictive-- biggest ever these days, but there have been justices throughout american history going back to roger to-- roger tawney or hugo black and th

rogers: i yield back. the chair: it is in order to consider amendment number 97 in part bmp of house report 115-295. mr. hastings: i have an amendment at the desk. the clerk: amendment number 97 printed in part b of house report 115-295 offered by mr. hastings of florida. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 500, the gentleman from florida and a member opposed each will control five minutes. mr. hastings: i thank the members of this committee for allowing the opportunity to present this amendment, the extraordinary work of mrs. lowey and mr. rogers as well as mr. frelinghuysen and other members of the appropriations committee. deeply appreciated by all of us. this amendment adds an additional $12 million to the economic support fund to ncrease assistance to the eeth ethiopian-israeli community. through the middle east partnership initiative, our bassy in tel aviv is already engaged invaluable participates with the eeth ethiopian community in israel. these programs are commendable and i hope their fundin

i am an attorney for roger stone. and ouris my cocounsel client, roger stone. we started at about 9:40 this morning and went to about 12:30 this afternoon. we took one break. members of the committee took their turns asking all the questions they had, and we answered all their questions. roger testified truthfully, honestly, and without hesitation. we spent a lot of time preparing for this. i do not believe the committee asked us in a questions that we were not prepared for. they are things you have widely reported in the past. they are things that would have been expected in this investigation. the committee is doing their job i believe clearly. everybody wants to get to the bottom of this. they want to get to the bottom of it in different ways, but they want to get to the bottom of it. and mr. stone is here to offer what he can, and we are happy to have done our part to do it. i believe the feedback we got was that mr. stone was candid and mr. stone was jovial and gave context to everything he has done. so with that, i am going to turn it over to mr. stone, w

cohen roger joins me now here at the big table roger it's good to have you on good to see a good a good to see you like it is not you in your piece yesterday want to show our viewers what you wrote in the new york times you wrote a dozen years in power is a lot. is weary germans too it's a time for a last act given trump has said that europe must take our destiny into our own hands that must be her last act. what do you think merkel's last act should look like in concrete terms well first of all i think if force term is extraordinary she's already a giant of post-war german politics but her last victory was a bit of victory it came at the same time as a right is the gained some ninety four seats in the german bundestag party that says soldiers from world war two should be on it and has bigoted views about foreigners coming into germany so it was a bit of victory but she has a mandate and we've had a hundred minute speech yesterday from president emmanuel mack home of france proposing the rebirth re foundation of the european union i think that has to be one essential foundation of lost

and there's a lot of questions about how much he's actually connected to donald trump and roger likes a lot of kind of games with those -- with people's beliefs and perceptions about this. but on this subject, the one thing that he's admirable on, is that he's said all along, i want to testify, i want to testify in public, i want to go out and make my case. he was not an unwilling witness today, he did not testify in publicly, that's because republicans didn't want him to testify publicly, he wanted to go out there in open court. i think that's admirable, he's willing to get out there and answer questions of anybody who will ask him? >> and does bob mueller share this sort of attitude that all of these contacts with russia are a hoax? >> i'm not sure what bob mueller thinks, but i know congressional investigators are not sure where roger stone figures into this. he has richard nixon's face tattooed on his back. >> who doesn't. >> of course. he's loving his role in the spotlight here. and he did say some things that were very suggestive. remember he said it was john d podes podesta's t

and roger stone might be the guy to help them do that. because he's so inflammatory and flamboyant and accusatory. he's dressed conservatively for him. but for him, he's trying to be a different guy today. but if he does what danny is saying, if he decides to be provocative and tries to go on the attack, this might be an opportunity for congress to assert its independence and relevance and say this isn't about you. >> but also to danny's point, there'll be less grand standing at this point when we watch these public hearings as much as you might see posturing. you're not going to see the lawmakers. eat up half their time doing that. >> this might be an interesting session. we'll see what happens. good to see you, danny. thanks for your reporting on this. >>> stick around, everybody. we're watching the battle over obamacare happening right now on the senate floor. does the new gop bill have any chance of passing? we're going back to the hill next. stay with us. you are watching "velshi & rhule." today, smart planning is pushing the finger

>> roland, i want to talk about roger goodell's response yesterday. some are suggesting it might be a bit hypocritical. he can express outrage over the president's remarks but it's still lip service because colin kaepernick is unemployed. >> roger goodell has been dancing around this. as nfl owners, they're stopping kol lib kaepernick from being back in the league. the focus is not, well, why won't they employ him? we see jeff low, the eagles' ow they say protest has not been respectful for the last 39 8 years, since the first 20-odd africans arrived in virginia in 2019. protests are never respectful. the foundation was founded out of dissent. what you have here, though, is you have owners, you have a

roger: it is too early to know.y, these things do not seem like they can make the transition to become real currencies, but i am not sure that matters to investors. i think they are in it for the volatility and the return. and that may work out, as it has for a lot of people. but i do think we are not done with the sharp drops, and i think there are enormous structural issues. there are thefts of the crypto's here, there, and everywhere. that, i think, is going to continue. the whole concept of the role of miners and the fact that these are adopted primarily by black and gray markets, suggests -- it confirms my basic notion. which is that these are far from mainstream currency options. emily: you mentioned people getting robbed, the number of complaints about calling base, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange, has gone from 600 to 300, and we are seeing so much more mainstream acceptance. give us some examples of how we are seeing mainstream investors embrace this. caroline: i think that is what is so fascinating. it

rogers of kentucky. mr. rogers: mr. chairman, i yield back the balance of my time and urge adoption of the amendment. the chair: the gentleman moves for adoption of the amendment. the question is on the amendment en bloc. offered by the gentleman from kentucky. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair the ayes have it. the en bloc amendments are adopted. and agreed to. it is now in order to consider amendment number 91 printed in . rt b of house report 115-295 for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek in addition? mr. mckinley: i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 91 printed in part b of house report 115-295, offered by mr. rothfus of pennsylvania. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 500, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. rothfus, and the members opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. rothfus: i yield myself such time as i may consume.

roger: only if you are long.aken your profits, you are sitting there going, not a problem at all. when you talk about $170 billion interest in this category, that is why you see banks and others coming in. clearly -- why are we having this segment right now? there is a lot of interest. the trick is, at least for the viewers watching this, to separate the commodity of bitcoins from the notion of a cryptocurrency. a currency needs to have stable value. i just don't think you will get there from this. the third piece, the one i am excited about, is the underlying block chain technology. there are a lot of reasons people would like to be able to do high-volume financial information transactions at very low cost with privacy and security. blocking technology offers that promise. i think everyone is excited by that. i would like to see a bank or other financial institution try to create currency, try to create a stable store of value that would be -- that would rival the national currency because that is the promise la

term in office may be all about making that train jumped the track of the new york times columnist roger cohen is my guest tonight will be here in about eight minutes. we begin the day with a lesson in the costs of daring to vote for freedom now this week the kurdish people in northern iraq held a referendum on independence and it passed with overwhelming support more than ninety percent of the vote now these are the same kurds who were almost crushed by saddam hussein in one thousand nine hundred one the same kurds who were then protected from a dictator's weapons by u.s. and british fighter jets with no fly zones and these are the same kurds according to the u.s. military who you better have at your side when your enemy on the battlefield is islamic state and yet not the u.s. not the u.k. not the european union no one except israel has voiced support for kurdish independence instead the kurds neighbors have moved to isolate and cut off the region from the rest of the world airlines from egypt and jordan have stopped all flights to the kurdish city of erbil iran and turkey have held mil

roger: and sale of information.he block chain could be the most revolutionary? or is that an exaggeration? roger: too early to tell. to me, what is exciting about it is it is like the internet before it. it is a distributed system where scalability is not a problem. with the scale of markets you have today, if you take that off the table as an issue, you can apply it to almost anything. now, what remains to be seen is which markets will find this most appealing. and in its current state, the answer is only experiments. consumers are not yet interacting with this regularly. but a lot of money has been raised. we are going to run that experiment and see. i look at this and go, to me, that part is really, really exciting. it makes it worth going through what i think is going to be further issues around the so-called currency part of this discussion. emily: that was elevation partners cofounder roger mcnamee and bloomberg's caroline hyde. coming up, expedia's new c.e.o. mark okerstrom talks about his plans for the compa

one of the things is roger connie who lives on as a reviled figure the author of the notorious dred scott case in 18 50's saying african-americans have no rights to respect. roger tawney comment might surprise many people who say that he was very much opposed to corporate rights. when he was chief justice of the supreme court he led a major push to scale back the limits of the constitutional rights of the business corporation. he thought african-americans had no rights and he thought corporations had very few rights >> host: adam winkler over the years has there have been any effort to take these constitutional protections away from corporations? >> there have been efforts occasionally. right now there's a big movement underway since citizens united to pass 28 amendments to the constitution that would say the rights held under this constitution only belong to natural people and not to corporations or businesses. that is received a lot of support in 16 states and a couple hundred municipalities both voicing support for such a constitutional amendment. that's the biggest effort these days t

all this as roger stone is he facing questions today. today he said he told the truth about russia. >> what's the message today? >> the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. >> stone releasing an audio book of the statement he gave congress and then later said this after facing investigators. >> the accusation that i knew about jon podesta's he e-mail is false. i'm aware of no collusion by the russian state or anyone in the trump campaign. i don't know whether the dnc was hacked. computer science seems to indicate an inside job. i think it is an entirely political exercise. >> do you think the president should fire bob mueller? >> yes. >> he is known to embody donald trump. >> we're in the age of stone. the change in our politics, the rough and tumble cut through politics, the slash and burn of what was probably the dirtiest, nastiest campaign in political history, are now in vogue. i revel in your hatred. if i weren't effective, you wouldn't hate me. >> meanwhile some progress. hearings on two business would insulate mueller

in roger goodell's statement, he said, our nfl players are at our best when we hope to create a sense of unity in our country. there is no better example than the amazing response from our club or players to the terrible natural disasters we have experienced over the last month. that's referencing to players like j.j. watt raising all the money and roger goodell is calling the president is decisive and that's on the owner and commissioner front, we are also hearing from several other players including player in the n nba and kobe bryant took to twitter in response to all of this saying a potus meaning the president of the united states, his words cannot possibly make america great again. this is something that's getting a lot of attention in addition to people on twitter asking why the president is focused on this and why is he fighting with black professional athletes and they are wondering why he's not focusing on other issues like he will care and north korea and instead of doubling down. the most recent tweets we have seen him dealing with this issue and not domestic policies or f

this for roger goodell statement is fairly biting. this is a guy donald trump who tried to buy the buffalo bills in 2013 and '14 and failed to do so. so there's a big relationship between nfl owners and donald trump. i mean, seven of the owners in the nfl donated at least $1 million to his presidential campaign. and so when he says some of the things he said, i think it hits both with the ownership and with commissioner roger goodell. >> what about the president disinviting steph curry and the winning team to come to the white house? >> i'm always so amazed, that the president of the united states, we're on the verge of nuclear war with north korea and he has time to worry about whether some guy from the golden state warriors is coming to the white house. it's insane. it's absolutely insane. i think the players in the nfl, when they look at the statements that are made, okay, about we want, you know -- we want football to be a hitting game. we love the big hits, or whatever he said during his speech. i mean, does he realize that one d
