it's at an all time low. i think part of that obviously part of the reason is controversy about the decisions. but another part of the reason is unaddressed allegations of ethical misconduct and the fact that there is not an internal oversight body that can credibly investigate those matters. i, the supreme court urgently needs, one, and the judiciary urgently needs one. and would benefit from one. come back to trump just so we can close it out. did ever in your time serving in that administration, although apart from it, obviously, did you ever meet him? ever talk to senior officials of the white house about the role? i never met with president trump. i did talk with senior officials in the white house when we had matters that affected the white. so no, i had no direct. but that's not unusual because an ig does not have and should not have direct contact with the white house. if i got a call from the white house, any president, i wouldn't take the call. they should go through the justice department, the atto

we were an exporter. that's important because when there's more oil on the market, the price of oil goes down. russia and iran rely their income. the gdp is money they can do things when oil is high, when the price of oil goes down. certainly not relying on tourism. right. like so, france can rely on tourism. iran can't. so it means that's why you have fewer less adventurism? because there's no money for the bad guys. unless, of course, you send them pallets of billions of dollars, as obama did with iran. so and then you shut them out. but the elevator, it's not about parties. this is about who's done what. if you're you're making a choice about who to go out with for a night on the. do you choose the person who got out of jail and who did a home invasion robbery and is has general life and doesn't tell you the truth and is always lying to you? or do you choose the person who's got a history that proves that they're reliable? it's that simple. people have to the left is major nervous about voting for repu

let me give you an example. there's an underground website called only fake which is claimed use neural networks to generate realistic looking photos of fake ids for only $15. this service is a potential radical disrupting the marketplace for fake identity and cybersecurity generally. by producing fake ids nearly instantly this technology could streamline everything from bank fraud to laundering stolen funds. rather than painstakingly crafting a fake id by hand, a highly skilled criminal profession that could take years to master, or even waiting for a purchase one to arrive in the mail with the risk of interception, this service lets essentially anyone generate fake ids in minutes that may seem real enough to bypass various online verification systems. much like many of the financial and designate nonfinancial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges regarding kyc checks onboarding new users. this typically involves building verification system checking new users documents. a service like the one i described woul

and so it's an extraordinary story. she was a dedicated polish mission against both the nazis and then the communists. and she she just spoke the truth over and over again. she was trained as a lawyer and she was a pilot. she was doing this in political life. and she she was put a on trial, a show trial. so show trials are the word that we associate with communism to show that it's not ruled by law. and so she knew that it was a rigged trial even as she was testifying. and and this is also happening at a time where many people had hoped that would able would be able be more independent within the soviet world. and and so she's one of the examples that shows. so this quote that we have featured here at the museum is from a letter that she wrote to her daughter before she was executed, knowing that she would likely not have a fair trial or not expecting a fair trial and then that she would be executed. was stalin the main driver behind the expansion of communism in eastern europe? he well and no. yes. because he was he wa

i think that's an important principle. the advise and consent responsibility is guinn to the senate and the -- in the constitution. they need to take that seriously and they will. they'll properly vet nominee and that process will play out. look. i'll just say this about a numb of the nominees that have been appointed. i think president trump is looking for persons who will shake up the status quo. and we got a mandate in this election psychle to do that. the status quo is not working for the american people. these are persons who will go in and bring real reform, significant reform to the agencies they lead. if you poll the american people they'll agree that that is an appropriate objective. i think that the senate should do its job and sure, take a look. do a deep dive. vet these persons. move them along for confirmation so the president has the team in place to do what the american people have elected him to do. we're going tpp

we're talking about, you know, a 10th of an inch, an additional rain between now and say friday, stormtrackerind of showing you that we've had the last 3 hours. some of this roll across and now it's headed up towards the sierra where it is bringing some snow their way. but as far as the bay area, you know, this is very paltry at this point. we've kind of played it out and maybe just a few sprinkles out there. but that doesn't mean the roads are likely slick. so just be ready for that. also, just want to mention, we do not not have the high surf advisory today. we will have it tomorrow will also have a coastal flood advisory because this is going to be thursday through sunday. we've actually got some above average tides king tides are starting to come in. it's the season for that. and we have that superman superman. i'll be i would like superman? but i was going to take it on your pylos. >> a coming on friday night. move coming out friday. and that means that the tides are going to be, you know, it's closer closer moon to the earth to get the ties are stronger. so if you see a little bit of th
