[applause] captin askew: not sure about superstar, ma'am, but we will see what the future holds for me. it is very humbling to be here today. the only to speak, but to west point. of the mostone distinguished graduates. as an aforementioned, the west point class of 1915 is most referred to as the class the stars fell on. as nearly as 40% of the classes 164 graduates attained the rank of general officer. most of the class included notable leaders such as five-star general omar bradley young david d. eisenhower. when general eisenhower and his classmates received their commission as army officers on that june day more than a century ago, they had no idea what history would have in store for them or what history would demand of them. yet they rose to the challenge, , answered the nation's call, and served when we needed them most. since then, generations of west point graduates have assumed, -- leading around the globe in places such as vietnam, panama, bosnia, and most recently iraq and afghanistan. my classmates and i grew up in a nation at war. when we chose to come to west point, we k

in the sunshine is what gives confidence the american people and the congress that there's nothing askew and they have done the opposite as being a government in the sunshine and remember we have not only the situation with a plea here but it comes on the heels of mr trump. effort to get then the f.b.i. director mr call me to back away from investigating mr flynt at all and we have mr trump also approaching the congressional oversight committee and saying can't you bring this to an end early well what's there to be worried about if there's no collusion there's nothing to be embarrassed about if you're trying to shut down all these investigations or suggest you have something to hide and i would want to edit and strengthen what thomas said about the arrow being pointed at the president you notice that the plea was made to violation of the law that makes it a crime to lie to the f.b.i. even if you're not under oath well it's inconceivable to me that at some point in the investigation mr molder is not going to ask to inquire of mr trump what he knew and when did he know it there have been i

his hair was askew and he licked his fingers slid down his hair.hen he asked me about my district and it immediately became clear he knew more about my district and the surrounding districts than i did. the man was extraordinarily competent. but the best thing is, and this might be hard to describe. he had a police escort but the sirens were not wailing and it was not even an unannounced visit. i think he just wanted to get out of washington. and would get it to philadelphia and we start turning around corners. as we would turn a corner the people walk about, take note of the police cars and then this big black car with flags on it and they turned and realized, they looked in the back window and they would see bill clinton. he was talking to be over here. as we turned the corner to return and make eye contact with the passersby and do a little wave and a loan mod while the passersby their eyes. like this. and he did all of this without breaking his conversation with me. just almost as a kind of, he just did it. and it was amazing.i know those get o

the first is he pulled down the flap and looked in the mirror, and his hair was askew, and he licked his fingers a few times and slicked down his hair. i loved that. then he asked me about my district and the surrounding congressional districts, and it immediately became apparent he knew more about my district and the surrounding districts than i did. the man was extraordinarily competent. but the best thing is, and this may be hard to describe, we had a police escort, but the sirens weren't wailing, and it was not even an announced visit. i think he wanted to get out of washington for the day. i think that's basically why he took the trip. we get into philadelphia, and as we would turn a corner, the people walking by would kind of take note of the police cars and then this big, black car with flag on it, and they'd turn and realize is this the -- and then they'd look in the back window, and there'd be bill clinton. and he was talking to me over here. and as we turned a corner, he would turn and make eye contact with the passer-by and give a little wave and a little nod while that pa

as i got up to get a second glass of wine from either colic my colleague on the couch hair was askew. fully dressed but her hair was all over. i picked up my phone and snapped a picture of her and sent it to my nieces quickly into that need next donation because they know her. there was that it was funny. my nieces are eliza delaney and cara. we have the line, my producer left, my other one stayed on the couch i went to sleep. the next morning i get an e-mail from my producer and she said why did you send that picture to al gore? i said what an idiot, said what does she mean this work, not the e-mail for me. so i ignored it. half an hour later the phone ranks. who is she trying to send that to the then the phone rings and she says, why did you send a picture of debbie sleeping to al gore? this is 2015, i said i didn't send that to gore, what are you talking about? are blonde sleeping on the couch to former vice president. i said i didn't and she said, you did. i looked at my phone, and autocorrect when i sent it to eliza it gore. i don't even know i had al gore's e-mail address or in

it is perhaps safer further metre askew, who doesn't need to worry? who does not need to worry? my dog, tommy, i don't know. these investigations always leads to where they lead, don't they? it is hard to know. probably they? it is hard to know. probably the people who are cooperating. anyone who didn't like the fbi doesn't have anything to worry about. that is really a major mistake that mr flynn made when he was talking to the fbi injanuary about something that happened in december, about conversations with the russian ambassador. and to think the russian ambassador. and to think the russian ambassador was not regularly being taped, wired recorded by the federal government and that he would not be able to... there was some way he could get out of lying to the fbi. it shows a degree of foolishness, i think. that raises the question, why would he lie on those things? was he told to lie? does this lead to the president oi’ someone lie? does this lead to the president or someone else? i agree, you just don't know. according to the mandate of the special counsel, he is to investiga

the old confederacy to elect a truly modern new south leader like jimmy carter in georgia or ruben askew and that happened 30 years ago. poor alabama is way behind, but this is a big opportunity for the state. >> yes, sir, and you talk about defecting, speak to anne gearan's point and have her respond. do you mean defecting, that these women voters in alabama who normally traditionally are democrat democratic and could go -- >> no, i think defecting by turnout will be the deciding factor. and my sense is that the younger women in this state and some of the older church women in the state are crossing over and i think -- i told a group of alabama businessmen last week about 20 of them that if i could privately hear who their wives and daughters were setting for and not what they were telling their husbands and fathers, i could predict the outcome, so i think what we're looking for is the degree of crossover as opposed to staying home. although it's doug jones who said very candidly, every republican who stays home helps him. >> anne, go ahead. >> for sure. in any race where i mean the sec

really holding the negative askew on these u.k. assets. the dax, up by .2%.bal synchronized growth story. there are a couple of breaking headlines in terms of the economy. the turkish economy, respondent by 11.1% in the third quarter. the number of deals have officially by announced. anna, you have the risk radar, in terms of the appetite. we've got the post brexit rush we broke up friday. everybody is chewing over the facts. anna: yes, indeed. also looking ahead to the host of central-bank meetings. there are plenty of reasons to perhaps sit on the sidelines -- and perhaps that is what we are seeing in asia. we are getting confirmation of qatar, agreeing to the contract. the deal is valued at 5 billion pounds. we are getting regularity confirmation this morning. the msci asia-pacific is up by . 6%. xbt, bitcoin, up by 7.5% this morning. the big news story is about futures trading. we have seen a couple of trading holds overnight as the market tries to get used to the volatility of this new asset in the futures. the stock price is up by more than 1500% year t

right now the "new york times" is a little askew in giving those percentages on the race. think roy moore is overperforming now. a lot of voters. tell pollsters what they were going to do. >> sean: 2016 way over here that in fact hillary was our next president. and then slowly but surely it went the other direction. let me bring larry elder in first. larry, your take on the vote tonight. a lot has been mentioned about the percentage. we always break things down demographically, the black vote in alabama. how high that percentage would be in to 12 barack obama had 28% of that vote some estimates coming out early tonight and predictions that the black vote would even be higher than that number. possible or your thoughts? >> entirely possible. very emotional state. alabama is my mom's home state. i number of summer there she is from the huntsville area. is this the hill for republicans to die on? i know that roy moore is very popular among donald trump supporters, the question is are these allegations to be completely dismissed out of hand because roy moore is our guy? i don'

hope that you would go see, because you could get them here in kansas city from oscar and shipley or askew as well. so that is where you bought your spurs. that is the cowboy kit. no gun, because you didn't need one or you kept it in the saddle bags or the chuck box. and how about drinking whiskey? not so much. when the cowboy was paid he would go to the general store and buy cans of peaches and eat so many that he would get sick, because he craved the shoe h gar. cowboys had a sweet tooth and so they would drink whiskey rarely on the trail, and there were three or four kinds of cowboys. trail hands that were drivers and usually contracting companies going to texas to say, for x-dollars i will take your herd to abilene or dodge city or to kansas city for you, and contracting crews. then there were ranch hands that worked on the ranch all of time. seasonal workers who were shopkeepers in the day and wanted to be cowboys and come in for the spring and fall round up. the droefr drovers supplied the own horses. the cowboy rarely owned his own horse, but the ranch did. and so of course, they we

. >> they had the opportunity askew to pass it on. are you telling me they had already had a meeting with all those russian, they had like 14 interpreters in there. >> so the reaction could have been, gosh darn it, we just had a meeting just like that, why don't you tell you all ab it. instead by the time of the warning in late july/august, 17 campaign officials had been in contact with russia as we just said, according to public reports. there is no public evidence the campaign reported any of that to the fbi. >> i'm just a dumb country lawyer, carol lee. >> wouldn't you bring it up? >> that doesn't sound good. now i hear are you the reporter of all these stories. >> you got this stuff down. so can you tell us? because we're confused, did the warning come before or after all those russians crammed into donald jr.'s office and he was all giggly about it? >> this would have been after. >> no, i never saw that coming. so tell us everything about your reporting. >> reporter: well, look, this is a briefing that under normal circumstances

mcchesney or shipley saddles or askew as well. this is where you bought your spurs. so that's pretty much the cowboy's kit. no gun, you didn't need one, or you kept in the the saddle bags or the chuck box. how about drinking whiskey? not so much. when a cowboy got paid, frequently you know what he would do with his wages? go to the general store and buy cans of peaches and eat so many he would get sick because he craved the sugar. cowboys had a sweet tooth so drinking whiskey, not on the job, rarely on the trail and this is a good time to remind you, there were three or four different kinds of cowboys. there were trail hands who were drovers, usually contracting companies that would go to texas and say for x number of dollars i'll take your herd to abilene, ellsworth, dodge city or i will take them to kansas city for you. contracting crews. and there were ranch hands who worked on the ranch all the time. and there were seasonal workers, sometimes day workers who were shopkeepers during the day but wanted to be cowboys and they'd come in during spring and fall roundup

. >> and using those askews.hat i got out of it if i say something and you don't laugh, that does not change my trajectory at all. that wasn't a part for you. that was a part for somebody else. we'll get to your part and so, um, the freeness of that dialogue i have in stand up and so when i'm doing the movie, i'm trusting in the same beats. i'm still entertaining for the same audience. i'm still trying to make sure that i hit the marks that they need me to hit. and so in that some cases it requires to you dial it all the way up, and in cases like this, it requires to you dial it all the way down. >> hypothetical question. you obviously played with characters in films before. could you see a character of yours trying to do stand up? >> which one do you think would succeed in that aspect trying to do stand up? a character you've played. >> all of my characters. [ la >> would make magnificent stand ups. because they all -- they all get that thing. if it's money mike from friday aft next or the guy in first sunday. i

the fact of the matter is that he didn't like it and felt that this was askewing too much to the wealthyought they could cobble together some agreement to keep him happy and keep him a yea vote. we haven't heard from susan collins of main, similarly concerned about the top rate. there are other issues here, if you add the likes of senator corker, concerned how this is not helping the debt or the combination of a lot of deficits throughout the year, this thing could be torpedoed to say nothing of a number of very ill u.s. senators who might not make it for the big vote next week. john mccain is going to make it and presumably is a yea, we have no guarantee of that. cochran battling ailments, that is not such a guarantee. this would be a sudden and stunning development here if that is indeed the case. waiting for the white house briefing to get going here. elements that will likely come up. former rnc spokesman kevin sheridan what he makes of all of this, also a former adviser to paul ryan. a lot of news around him he might step down after next year. he denies it, politico is reporting it.

are the scales of justice, do they seem they are a little bit askew. we know there was one searching computer.to scrub a cheryl mills, she got immunity allegedly to give up her laptop. and can't get prosecuted. shouldn't the american people know what the information is on the laptop. why is it that that congress, this jurisdiction of oversight as applied in the constitution has to beg the f.b.i. and department of justice to provide documents so we can see what happened and the american people and representatives can know how this dosier was constructed and how it was used. why must we beg for that information? mr. speaker, this can all be cleared up. just provide the information. there doesn't have to be a special prosecutor. mueller can find the truth. we want the truth that is impartial and not something that is fabry rated cause we have an f.b.i. that is pursuing individuals as opposed to crimes. the american people need to know at this isn't a tin-horn dictatorship and government officials using the federal government to work against their politica
