the leader in 4g. the united states decided through the commercial agreements pretty early on that 4glte was the way the carriers went. they invested heavily. and we quickly became the world leader in 4g lte and the innovation that sprung from the new capabilities and new capacity in the networks is something that you can't account for. what we're trying to do now and what our global competitors are trying to do is say can we be the ones to seize the benefit of being the ones to put out the network first and see the innovation that flows from it. i'm confident that the u.s. is going to be the world leader in 5g. i think there is no substitute for american ingenuity and american know how. i'm confident that the trump administration has been putting in policies in place that are pro investment. at the end of september, we wanted to make sure that private sector knew where we are on this and the white house held a 5g summit to bring together all the different parts of the u.s. government. i spoke there. chairman walden, chairman thune, larry kudlow all spoke. the message was pretty clear and unanimous from

the united states as much as it hurts mexico, or the immigrants. our trade and economic viability relies on the millions of people that come between the border monthly, let alone the commercial activity between mexico and the united states. so it's not going to happen. his tweet this morning is more of a ploy to say that, you know, we're going to be tough and harsh and close things and build a wall. none of it is sustainable. and none of it is effective. i thought it was interesting that the san diego sector cvp guy said the military built some fence and they got around it. i don't think he meant to undermine the military but the wall is not a sustainable, long-term option. this is all atmospherics. it's also violent atmospherics that put our cvp officials as well as immigrants in harm's way. all of it, let's put it in perspective. at most a couple thousand of people in a country where over 350 million. in a country which has lawful immigration in the millions on a weekly basis. so this is elevating the temperature when actually this could be dealt with as a problem but just a public policy problem. no reason to get -- to change who we are as a nation for this. >> forgive me

originally, the property owners submitted a building permit for demolition of the commercial building and new construction of a five story unit and because this property is located in the c-2 district, a commercial district, assist not subject to neighborhood -- it is not subject to neighborhood notification and also not subject to preapplication meeting requirements with the neighbors. however, the property owners did conduct a preapplication meeting in november 2014. the owner and residents of the appellant's property at 3030 larkin street were invite today that meeting but did not -- invited to that meeting but did not attend. the plan was subjects quently reviewed by the planning department and issued by d.b.i. in february 2016. that permit was not appealed. as was mentioned, the permit holder was going through an additional subdivision process after the site permit had been issued when at that time they discovered the n.s.r. on their property regarding the original variance from 1970. as is mentioned in the letter and the briefs, because the variance actually provided variances to specific code controls for the property

i'm just -- i'm fully invested from the inside if you will, seeing how these plants operate and run. the united states brought commercial nuclear power to the world and the united states operates clearly the best in the world. we have excellent standards and you can see in the last 15 years, we've operated our plants at a greater than 90% capacity factor. you don't get that way from being lucky. you get that way from being really, really good and we're great at it. >> what concerns do you have about not seeing investment in making sure that everything from facilities are maintained and kept up in a way that doesn't just take private dollars, but also takes government spending, and also that the r and d is there to keep advancing and developing the technology to continue to work on safety, to continue to work on advancements? >> in terms of the reactors that we have right now, that doesn't require any kind of government investment. those are invested in by the companies that own them. i ran a plant that actually went into commission in 1969, it's a lan plant in upstate new york, if you were to tour that plant today, it's

and under the president's new national space strategy, our administration is uniting america's military, commercial, and civil space sectors as never before. to ensure that the united states retains our rightful role as the world's preeminent as the world's preeminent space faring nation. but as president trump as said, quote, it's not merely enough to have american presence in space, we must have american dominance in space. and that's exactly why at president trump's direction we are taking steps to establish the united states space force as the sixth branch of our military that is separate from and equal to the five other branches. [ applause ] as the president and i believe, creating a space force is an idea whose time has come. as the men and women of the national defense university know well, for decades, one independent study after another has called for reforms for the current organizational structure of our national space capabilities. in 1994, the general accounting office published a report highlighting what they described as the fragmented responsibilities over our national security spa

it is the newest superpower but challenging both commercial and political entr'acte to replace the united states as the world's largest economy. china now leads the world and in homeowners, college graduates and billionaires becoming the global lender. flexing muscles in asia and beyond is the built powerplants import in the trade were with washington may have derailed that. if the 20th century was the american century, do you think it would be the chinese century earth is overblown. >> this is while overblown. i'm about "the new york times" knows how to extrapolate. in fact, our economy is growing faster than china's. china probably grew high too, may be low three. our economy is much bigger than china's. but our economy is growing faster so the gap is getting bigger, not smaller. >> are you domestic finally that we will win? >> i mop domestically will win if we have the political will to win. we have all the cars. it's just a lot of people this country want the president to give into the chinese. for instance the financial community. i understand their interest means it's good for them

interests with iran so intertwined at the economic and commercial level that it would be. in everyone's interests including the united states not to see this disrupted to the detriment of the arche economy so i have three points but if the trumpet ministration insists on implementing the sanctions to the finest points possible they have very powerful sources of leverage on the ark especially on the banking and financial side well because right now we are getting reports that iraq will stop trucking crude trauma care cooking oil filter iran and will export it to turkey instead to avoid u.s. sanctions what do you think that means does it mean that baghdad is already dancing to washington's tunes yes i mean this is probably a much more easy and much more visible way of acting out the american sanctions and the more difficult and complicated issue especially the supply of gas from iran into iraq which really fires a lot of the electricity stations and until we find alternative source of gods there's no way that he suffers from serious problems. you really despond this relationship there's also a very strong relationship

the president very strongly worded column. and i want to read some of that. he said trump's response does not advance the united states interests. it betrays them and places the dollar values of commercialeals on respecting liberty and human rights and personal relationship above the united states strategic relationships. it's not just about warm and fuzzy values here, is it? is because both republican and democratic have determined through decades that defending u.s. values serves u.s. national security interests. >> it does. and donald trump is not the first president to care about oil and jobs by the way. i worked with president obama to talk about their oil production. this isn't just about warm and fuzzy values. it is about physical security. we know an american resident was murdered. that is a gross human rights abuse. but the problem now is the president of the united states is signaling that if you pump more oil or if you waive a memorandum of intent about arms deals in front of him, he will let a murder go. from an intelligence perspective, i would guess the intel community is telling the president, if he's listen, this is going to encourage more murders to conduct more crimes

the relative importance of saudi arabia. nobody is suggesting that the united states shutdown all diplomatic and commercial ties with saudi arabiaeems to be talking about this like it's an on or off switch. either we're all in with saudi arabia or all out. >> for numerous reasons, ali, it's important because it is a major oil producer if you're going to talk about in a few minutes. obviously for that reason alone, the united states has always tried to maintain strong ties with the kingdom. but there are so many other issues as well. obviously saudi arabia being home -- the spiritual home of over a billion muslims. the united states wanting to maintain those ties in terms of cooperation on a number of issues from just helping to maintain a good relations with the rest of the muslim world to cooperation on counterterrorism issues, and the vast majority of other things as well. business ties you have. and then, of course, there is something that is very important to the trump administration which is also a regional counter to iran. this was one of the big turning points last year when the president decided to prioritize and go to r
