the texas commission met once a month for 40 years and they set quotas well by well, field by field. when opec is getting along, they meet twice a year and set quotas most of them ignore. we were the king of opec. now, why did the good folks in texas, who normally want to limit government and produce oil, why did they agree to heavy-handed intervention in the market? to stabilize prices. to vanquish that boom/bust we saw from the '20s and '30s. now, some folks thought that opec took over from us in 1972 and they lost it in 2008. now, some folks thought maybe shale oil would be the new swing producer. we saw that failed. $28 brent, $26 wti in 2016. that didn't work out too well. others think this new entity formed by saudi arabia and russia will be the new opec. i have my doubts but we can discuss this. the bottom line is this, but we haven't seen in four generations this type of volatility. no swing producer, nobody regulating supply, no peace in oil prices. now, turning to the here and now, as chairman alluded, we have forces pushing prices down. supply is growing faster than demand

texas today thank you. president trump powers reportedly reached an agreement with the e.u. commission president in washington on targets and trade barriers over the years you know we're losing hundreds of billions of dollars with the european union and we just wanted to be a level playing field so that. well according to the media the agreement includes expanding exports of u.s. liquefied natural gas certain food goods and lower industrial tariffs on both sides despite those deals the open part of the meeting seemed quite tense and in the run up to the talks in washington trying to give a blunt assessment of how he currently sees global trade on twitter. with. terrorists of the greatest either a country which is the united states unfairly on trade negotiates a fair deal where he gets hit with terrorists it's as simple as that and everybody's talking remember we the people in this being rocked will be great well after america slapped tariffs on steel another million coming from the e.u. you know almost two months ago the bloc responded with ted for measures the trade standoff hasn't ex

texas. exhibiting heavy-handed intervention and the road commission and they go well by well or field by field if opec is getting along then we were the king. why did those folks in texas agreed to heavy-handed intervention in the market? stabilize. >> opec took over from us in 2008 but many thought that shale will but those that think that new oddity i have my job so we can discuss that. but this is veryom important. we haven't seen in four generations this type of volatility. nobody regulates supply. turning the hero we see the market loosening witht production and now brazil and saudi arabia even with good demand. there is a lot of fear in the market with trade t wars. that puts prices down and then also pushes prices up and this gets back to the capacity issue. and then they will hold plaque but when you get into why disruption about war just want to call to douse the fire before it burns out the holes he but iran exports 2.5 million barrels per day but in the oil market it makes a big difference in price with commercial inventory back to normal the loss of two and half million would be a

texas. old.s over 104 years she was commissioned on march 12 of 1914. she patrolled the atlantic during the first world war. she was the first american ship with anticipate aircraft guns and had range keepers to lock on with 10, 14-inch made batteries. there she is today. she's made history in our navy. march, 1919 rnings lieutenant commander edward mcdonald, took a british camel off of turet number three, navy naval aviation was born. the wings of gold started on the uss texas. the skipper of the texas was so impressed, he could see splashes with the weapons. they could target with aircraft. that meant the texas was the first to recover as spying mechanisms during a war. he texas was in cast go, maine on december 7, 1941, the day japan bombed pearl harbor. in the atlantic ocean ol october 23, 1942 as part of operation torch, the invasion of french morocco, texas bombed and bombed and bombed the enemy. 5:50 a.m., the life with a constant bottom barredment, unds hit the germans in 34 minutes. june 7, the next day, she is off the cliffs where the rangers

and several -- and a request for precautionary measures before the interim commission on human rights. there is a group in texas that did file a request for a preliminary injunction. i know there is that option . it's a way looking for international venues in which we can file claims against the trump administration makes sense for a host of reasons. they are not necessarily going to respect those decisions, but it's a way to bring pressure to bear on the administration. there's also the united nations working group on arbitrary detention. i think that attorneys need to be thinking creatively about how to use these bodies to fight back. michael: thank you. let's open up another round. you were very patient. >> john with cbre, first generation colombian. i want to touch on a point -- michael: put the microphone closer. >> is this better? perfect. sandra, i'm wearing black just at the thought of trump appointing another supreme court justice. you said anthony kennedy stepping down may be a good thing? could you please elaborate on that? sandra: i didn't say that. [laughter] >> the news from kennedy was good or so

commission approves natural gas pipelines, and the u.s. needs a lot of them. there's a shortage of pipelines in the northeast, where customers need power, and the permian basin in texas producers are desperate to get natural gas out to make room for all the oil they are producing . here are the problems, time. it can take years to build a pipeline. a big part of that is the permitting process. ferc has to get its blessing, but at the behest of environmentalists, state courts can shut down small portions of a pipeline like an area where it might cut across a stream. this can delay development for years. money. a pipeline can cost billions. typically, the pipeline guy walks in contracts from buyers. now some producers are so desperate that they team up with a private equity to secure funding. it doesn't matter what the problem is, companies want the pipelines and it is up to ferc to make it happen. i recently caught up with an -- alix: i recently caught up with an executive and asks her what the hardest part was with building a pipeline. >> we need to deal with issues like the doubling of construction costs because labor, among other things, is so expensive. as we brag

a focus of the president's federal school safety commission and so we've had the opportunity to speak to a number of districts across the country, texas being one of them, and these kinds of innovative programs are exactly what we need to better insure two things, one, a safe environment for students, anarch rick environment where they can learn -- a nurturing environment where they can learn, and the second being one where we identify children early who may have emotional or mental health issues that need to be addressed and there are a number of ways to address those kinds of mental health service needs by either integration directly within these school systems or through a close relationship with other types of programs. some of the things that the cures act do that directly affect those kinds of programs is that cures reauthorized certain types of mental health programs that are oriented toward children and samsa continues to implement those programs. so things like project aware which provides for infrastructure of these types of services within schools in the state and programs that teach about mental health psychological mental

commission which is great. >> they are not going to go to texas.t the same thing. >> they are going down to florida. if i be one more person jerseys and the florida resident now, you can afford to pay that. it is like robert de niro. we are so confused. i will translate every morning on the radio show. you've got a hero like robert de niro going after the president, which is ironic because the president is taking on a lot of de niro's characters, which is true. you see the president say i want you to hit me in the face. and then they throw everything at president trump things like this, i never went down. you never got me down. >> it's out of control. there is a history on the senate not work. i am wondering, he was against this, right? >> neil cavuto put steve sweeney on. the guy should be governor. he got bought out. he's got those big meaty hands. hi, i just benchpress rhode island. when you mess with this guy. neil: he did not say that. i will wring your neck, mr. governor. but really come you got to give it to china because that's a big differ

. >> you come to the railroad commission to get a permit and follow our rules. stuart: you guys in texas> i'm a statewide elected official. in most states people like me are appointed by the governor. in the texas we're proud we're elected. at the end of the day, every texan regardless of political persuasion we want the energy industry to do well. it is our number one industry. we know it is our way of commanding markets and driving economies around the world. stuart: environmentalists hate you. >> i speak with you. we hear about things like flaring, natural gas emissions. if you believe that methane and co2 are the primary cause of global warming, you would say, produce as much energy as we can in texas because when people around the world do it, places like russia, places like south america, places like the middle east, they are not near as environmentally conscious tan we are. we produce less co2, less methane emissions per amount of btus of energy than anywhere in the world. stuart: i'm glad you found time to spend three minutes with me in new york city. >> glad to do it. stuart: ry

. >> texas exhibited heavy-handed intervention in a market that would have made someone blessed. the railroad commission met once a month for 40 years and set quotas well by well, field by field. when opec is getting along, they meet twice a year and set quotas most of them ignore. >> we were the king of opec. way where the good folks in texas agreeing to heavy-handed intervention? to stabilize prices and vanquish the boom bust we saw from the 20s and 30s. >> some folks thought opec -- maybe shale would be the new producer, we saw that fail. others think this new entity formed by saudi arabia and russia will be the new opec. i have my doubts. the bottom line is this, we haven't really seen this type of volatility and for generations. no swing producer, no regulation and no peace in oil prices. as the chairman alluded, we have forces pushing prices down. supply is growing faster than demand. >> all of us see the market loosening up going into next year. strong production growth for the u.s., brazil, saudi arabia and other places. even with good demand, it is pushing prices down. there is a lot of fear wi

texas hailstorm. i can't run, i can't hide, and i cannot make it stop. this. i got it from the johnson presidential library. and what i bought it is for a reason. in 1965, johnson commissioned these bus. he would hand them out to visitors. now, now, what does that tell you about johnson? ok. be careful. yeah. so, you get these things -- it says something about the guy's ego. he is giving these things out as gifts. ok? the reason i bought this is it is the original. i got it a couple of years ago. when i opened the box, it like 1966 because they still have hundreds of them stockpiled at the johnson presidential library. what does that tell you? >> not very popular with the people. prof. faulkner: yeah. killedis war has finally him. has finally done him in, broke his spirit. you can still buy an original one from 1966 that johnson would have given out because of his unpopularity. by march of 1968, 20 8% of the people polled have lost faith in the war, and lost faith in the leadership of johnson. johnson realizes this. despite any military success, he is going to start to make unilateral decisions. he wants to get the north to the negotiating table. first thing he does is, he
