these smaller risks, when we try to take all the asbestos out of the schools and all the lead out of aspen lives there's a good chance we're shortening lives by making more people poor. oh that annoyed the people on the left. how could abc let stossel say that. at least it was ridiculous and abstract. no one would watch. but then the ratings came in and they were good. lots of scientists wrote in and said finally a network is being sensible about risk. abc agreed to give me more primetime specials and that changed my life. it provided a little bit of intellectual diversity at abc. a little. that's all they would tolerate and that lack of tolerance is why i moved to this channel. but that's another story. this show's bottom line when it comes to life and death, we should worry about things like driving and driving drunk, eating too much, drinking too much, abusing drugs, living recklessly. but then chill out in america. thanks to free enterprise, life is pretty good. and every year we live longer. that's our show, see you next week for a new episode again in our new timeline, fridays on fbn

in fact, aspen picked up 11 inches of snow today. this is the last weekend for the ski resort being open for the season and almost a foot of fresh powder. that's all good. ultimately, the warm air will win out and right along the leading edge of this warm air, it's a warm front. that is working its way slowly towards our area. and will have an impact on our area by late sunday and especially sunday night. our futurecast you can pick out the details. high pressure will give us a gorgeous day. we'll be in the upper 70's to near 80 with sunshine tomorrow and start the day sunday with sunshine. but then as we get through the afternoon, clouds roll nchl the rain ahead of the warm front gets closer and look at the timing here. it looks by 6:00 sunday we'll number the shadow of the front. showers, few downpours, more into monday and some of that rain reinforced late monday afternoon by an approaching cold front. check this out. it looks nice. lots of sunshine and high temperature in the afternoon approaching 79 80 degrees. we have light win

police officer has been charged with murder after a video showed him shooting and apparently unarmed aspenmerican man who was running away. this happened after north charleston police officer michael slager stopped walter scott for a broken brake light. slager is seen a shooting at scott eight times as he runs away. walter scott's brother, anthony, is grateful for the witness again forward with the video. anthony scott: from the beginning when it happened the first day, i always wondered. and i think through the process we see the truth. and we cannot get my brother back, and my family is in deep mourning for that, but through the process of justice has been served and i do not think that all police officers are bad cops. but there are some bad ones out there, and i do not want to see anyone get shot down the way that my brother was shot down. amy: the north charleston police department had initially defended officer slager after he said he had feared for his life and claimed scott had taken his taser weapon, but it showed he shot him in the back at a distance of about 15 feet. the video a

like to stop and take pictures of that, regardless of the season, whether it's snow covered or the aspens are golden in the foreground or whether everything's lush and green. and, of course, you see wildlife all through that valley. and people like to stop and take pictures. well a bunch of signs were printed up that said you cannot use the turnouts. a bunch of barricades were bought so that you couldn't pull out on the turnouts and the signs said that it would be illegal to park along the highway. now, where did the money come from for the barricades? where did the money come from for the signs that said you couldn't use the parking lots to take your pictures? well i called to find out whose brilliant idea that was and why parking lots would be closed and i would told that there wouldn't be any garbage pickup. i suggested that they just removed the garbage cans. people in wyoming and people across the nation when they visit a national park, i think they can haul their garbage another 20 miles before they needed to throw it out. and then the beautiful vista could still have been photograp

the aspen to talk about energy and have the potential relaxation or nullification of the sanctions whichever might be happening can affect energy systems, not just in iran but regionally and globally. to put this into perspective, iran is an energy giant. it has either, number one or number two in conventional natural gas reserves in the world. trade that off between russia and iran depend on what you're looking at. number four in conventional oil reserves in the world. i'm not talking about shale gas or shale oil. this is conventional. so when this is opened up if it's opened up and that is a big if and i will get to that, then this will definitely change energy markets globally. because oil markets are global markets. it will not just affect crude oil but also refined products and petrochemicals. opening up iran, if it does open up, will also change natural gas markets. lng markets are developing as world markets rather than regional ones come and if iran hops into this they could change things considerably. one reason why iran has not been involved in challenges because they can't get at

each year the atlantic and aspen institute cohost the washington ideas forum.ringing together leaders business leaders, journalists, and scientists. at the most recent forum craig vendor was the speaker. an american biochemist and entrepreneur best known for being one of the first ones to sequence the human genome. this is about 20 minutes. >> we are in an unusual technical situation. he is supposed to be here. he is ill with something. let's see, can you hear me? he is ill with something. he is looking pretty good. craig, can you hear me at all? he is not scary looking. he is just ill. we have a number of backup systems which i think we should employ. if forced comes to worse, i would just tell you what i think he would have done if i could control him like a puppet. what is wrong with you? >> i did not want to leave sunshine for washington dc. a number of things, it would've made montezuma proud. let me, quickly ask you about -- you have a whole list of things you are doing. the one that intrigues me the most is the notion of a minimal cell. can you explain w

joining me at post nine is walter isaackson from the aspen institute, kayla tausche and dan greenhouse steve grasso is also joining us as soon as he is finished up trading. let me begin with you guys dan. what's the message from today? >> listen i think the market appears stuck at 2100. i know that's something that art cashin has talked about on the floor. everybody sees the 2100 ceiling going back a couple of months. i was someone who thought not the employment report but earnings season would be a driver if you will of stocks to break out of this range at least one way or the other. thus far with nearly 100 companies having reported this morning, that has not been the case. i find that shocking because narratives are starting to emerge. >> is that because the top line the revenue growth isn't there, kayla? >> you're seeing revenue declining. that was exacted because of where we saw gdp come in a lot of the data in the first quarter. i don't think anyone expected the first quarter to be a belowout by any stretch of the imagination for any sector. it is interesting when you look at the

he spoke at the aspen institute in march redoing reef in the modern history of afghanistan through his photographs. this is about one hour. >> i'm going to give you a brief introduction on how i got to the south asia, and then begin a rather rapid 60 imageon. presentation. starting from 1988 and going up to 2013.in in 1987, i moved from bangkok time where time had a bureau covering southeast asia when an opportunity opened up in newn indi delhi to cover south asia. and having originally started my profes professional career with time in centralsi america very small countries, i never thought i would end up 10 years later in the massive landmass of south asia. if you look at the map particularly in national geographic map it's quite huge. india itself as a continent is incredible but when i landed it was the end of the cold war and i think one thing that's very important for this evening and for you to understand a rather competent subject of afghanistan is the context of that period of time but it was the end of the cold war. attorney and russia were stilltank to ta. take to take in yo

i'm with the aspen institute, new latinos in society program. one of the things we're trying to grapple with is how to share best practices and message that immigrants, immigration, latinos, latino growth are not necessarily a terrible thing but they bring lots of positive things with them. and you all have shared some of that, but i'd love to hear best practices. because there is a sense in the climate around the country of fear. so how do you combat this fear and what are some lessons learned that you guys have experienced that you might share with the group and with us to take away. >> we should talk afterwards. you should come to our offices for a couple days. but, no, it is a really great point. again, it is that new gateway phenomenon. talking about the example of the refugee. you were talking about latino but also this perceptions that communities have. people think refugees get $10,000, they never have to pay it back and we did not get -- or immigrants get this that and the other thing. or why don't they just go to the post office so the

evan newmark joins me along with kate kelly, jon fortt, and walter isaacson from the aspen institute.elcome, one and all, and also with us is johnn najarian najarian. so let me just start evan with you. we had these remarks from bill dudley this morning. the first guy out of the fed to come and say, well you know, maybe i'm not going to be so explicit about us raising rates. is that what this rally is all about? >> it's the old hollywood adage, nobody knows anything. even bill dudley. >> is that an old hollywood adage? >> i think it is. if it's not, it's an old wall street adage. bill dudley basically came out and said you know what? i kind of know as much as you do. temporary factors, who knows really what's going on. we need another month or two of data to really figure out what's going on. he sounds like somebody on your panel talking, kelly. he's the head of the new york fed. he's supposed to know what's going on. i think what's most interesting right now is basically stocks today, interest rates, and oil moved against what -- and the dollar moved against consensus. consensus was

host: let's hear from derek in aspen, minnesota. caller: hi. perfect timing.his representative from colorado is one of the reasons why this country is so messed up and divided. oh my god -- they cut me off. guest: we didn't cut you off. host: are you still there? ok. you talked about tax reform. guest: i don't think i have much to do with that, derek. there are forces greater than me. i do my best to work with both sides. host: talk a little bad about this effort that is trying to make changes, especially through the house ways and means committee. what changes would you like to see on the front of tax reform? guest: i think we should go bold. we currently have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. much companies pay a lower rate, but that is based on who has the best lobbyists. it is just not right. what we ought to do is get together, say everything is on the table, i was very supportive of attempts last session that fell on a blind eye, when he offered his tasx reform proposal. and whenever we get down to 28% like what president obama wants -- curren
