barbara: we would think so. on our models, where we see the project sure you for u.s. -- the tory for u.s. growth, we would expect it to hold at 3%. caroline: are you looking for any sort of inversion? the yield curve has been flattening. many have said they were concerned on whether this signals a recession. do you see an inversion of the yield curve? barbara: this is a big topic of debate among market participants and the fed. the fed issued an interesting paper on the treasury curve a few weeks ago. there is talk if it should be the two-year tenure spread, and we think the yield curve is an important indicator but we know it tends to coincide with recessions very long, volatile, and lagged. it is only one thing we look at on a number of other issues when we think of recession. our voya probability of recession model shows there is a low probability in the u.s. over the next six months. caroline: when you are looking at the growth data, jobs, adp numbers coming out strong. what is it signal for friday? barbara

that brings us back to barbara underwood. a month after she flipped gene the taxi king friedman securing his cooperation with prosecutors in return for lean jens that led to the -- leanence for guilty pleas of michael cohen, she filed a civil lawsuit against president trump's charitable foundation, people of the state of new york, by barbara d. underwood, attorney general of the state of new york, against donald trump, donald trump jr., ivanka trump, eric f. trump and the domnald j. trump foundation. for more than a decade the donald j. trump foundation has operated in persistent violation of state and federal law. this pattern of illegal conduct by the foundation and its board members includes improper extensive political activity repeated and wilful self-dealing transactions and failure to implement formalities required by law. alleging the trump foundation that before trump ran for president he used his charity as a fake charitable enterprise that only benefitted himself. once he started running for president he basically

her name is barbara underwood. you probably remember the previous attorney general very high profile who was turfed out of office in a very ugly scandal involving allegations of sexual misconduct. his name was eric schneiderman and he aggressively pursued a national profile. but when he imploded new york state lawmakers decided they would have the solicitor general from the state of new york slide over into his office and become the temporary acting ag. i think they were they were thinking, we need a legal, legal, we need a legal official. solicitor general, she argues cases. can she take over for a second? i don't even know if the new york state lawmakers knew what they had done when they picked barbara underwood. i don't know if they understood who this was they were putting in the attorney general's office in their state. she is a bigger deal than any of them. she is freaking impressive, argued 20 cases before the supreme court, magna cum laude at harvard, first in her class at georgetown law school. she was a c

>> lindy was wonderful, barbara was great. barbara and i got very friendly. we often talked on the phone on sunday and i had to take notes. she was one of the smartest people i ever knew. >> what kind of advice did she offer? do you remember anything specific? >> it wasn't advice, it was fact. what was happening. she knew, she had been there a while. and as i said, she's brilliant. >> you mentioned lindy boggs. what are you -- looking back on her service in congress and her role as a mentor, what do you think the secret of her success was? >> one of the nicest people you can ever meet. very caring, very kind. and she knew -- hale had been there for many, many years. and as a supportive wife, she knew more about congress than she came than most people do. being the nicest person and knowing the most. and she kept -- she didn't keep it to herself, she gave it. and she was very aware of giving it to women. she had two daughters, she knew her -- one of her daughters ended up preston. >> over time different women members have adopted different approaches to servin

standing by in brussels is our correspondent barbara they so good day barbara what do you policymakers make of this document do they believe the u.k. is ready for a no breaks it deal. the e.u. itself has already early in the summer a sort of talk to its member states and said ok folks things are not going so well you need to get ready for a no grex a deal so you need to take preparations that of course means there will be no more friction illustrate across the e.u. british border which is mostly concerning the harbor. in france for instance and the big harbor in the netherlands and rotterdam for instance and you just need to prepare yourself the business need to change the how the deal was their exports for instance and everybody sort of needs to prepare for the worst case so that is the one aspect and more innocent brussels they wonder that britain was so preternaturally cow and that nothing was to be heard and then all of a sudden it seems there's a certain panic over the some of the developed that things in fact might end badly and now these papers are coming out and of course if yo

barbara perry? >> well, we now look back at nixon, and nixon i think thought of himself in many ways as sort of a moderate republican. and he was viewed in those days, in 1968, as a moderate republican. he could be viewed in the center between someone like reagan, we haven't talked about his entrance into the mix, but i'm sure we will, and rockefeller on the left side of the party. so when we look back at richard nixon's almost 2 1/2 term -- 1 1/2 terms in office, we can see the things he did that people now on the liberal side say good for him. >> i would call nixon a progressive republican, in that tradition. certainly domestically, he inherited the vietnam war, obviously, after five years, there were 31,000 dead when nixon came into office. but the gentleman said he was for nixon although he didn't vote for him. but he's exactly right, the american people agreed with the gentleman. richard nixon won 49 states in 1972, won over 61% of the vote, i believe, than senator mcgovern, who was an anti-war

what do you make of what we just heard from barbara? >> i think barbara laid out really well in the sense that it could be a range of things, from something small to something very big. another option, you know, that the judge has, and may be happening right now, is sometimes if there's -- if one side raises an issue that maybe a juror overheard something or someone approached them, they will do what's called voir dire the jury in private. barbara may have more insight on whether the jurors have been released or not during this break, but that's something i've seen happen quite often. sometimes these things really do get resolved. it is good to not like overreact to it, because jurors hear things, things happen in public courthouses, and a lot of times what the judge will do with the parties is bring jurors in and make sure that they're really still able to be there and impartial. >> carol -- sure, go ahead, barbara. >> i just want to say, one other option here, there are four alternates on this juror. as mimi said, if they find out the

barbara was desperate. >> i said i don't care.here you're going. >> there was one last hope, a flight to madrid. she took it. >> took all my money. it took all my frequent flier miles. >> british airways refused to refund their ticket despite the hurricane. after a year of disputing the charge, barbara contacted 7 on your side and we contacted british airways. the airline said we did everything we could to accommodate our customers who had their travel plans disrupted due to the hurricane last year. while the customers' flights on british airways were not impacted by the storms, we were pleased to be able to help with a credit for travel and gave barbara $500 plus a $500 voucher. >> thank god for 7 on your side. >> now, as you can see, missing one flight had this huge domino effect of causing barbara to miss all the other connections along the way. so if you have a complicated itinerary with a lot of connections, it is in your best interest to buy travel insurance. it will also save me a lot of time time your 7 on your side hotlin

she was interviewed by barbara - -. this is just under an hour. >> good evening everybody, welcome to politics and prose. please silencer cell phones and other devices. we are audio recording and video recording this event so we prefer no interruptions. you don't want your phone to be the one going off on c-span. please use our microphone during our question and answer portion. we only have one tonight and it's over here. lastly, please fold up your chairs at the end of the event and place them against something solid bid our staff would appreciate that. i am pleased to introduce alissa quart, she's the author of four acclaimed books. branded, republic of outsiders. - - she writes a monthly column. in "squeezed", alissa quart analyzes the life of middle class americans that can barely afford to raise children. reporting on families just getting by as well as reporting on her own experience, she reports that parenthood is financially overwhelming except to the wealthiest. she provides real solutions from necessary policy

barbara basler is covering the e.u. defense ministers meeting in vienna and joins us now from there barbara the meeting has just wrapped up i understand were the ministers able to find any common ground . absolutely none terry other than they say that the mission's afia is important for the security and the securing off the external borders of the european union which may be true however. it's in the position of italy actually puts this mission in doubt it runs till the end of the year but as things stand now the naval vessels of the other european countries participating in sofia could not disembark in you more in italian ports from next week on if something if an interim solution is not found or if they don't sort of circumvent the problem that means they can't really pick up any more migrants in the mediterranean in the mediterranean for the next weeks and months so the situation is really it's runs in circles the states of head and heads of state and government will have to deal with the dublin. regulation any more

and barbara, immunity. and this is the cohen case specifically. but it doesn't come in one flavor, right? what sort of the range that we might consider in terms of what these two are granted when it comes to immunity and in other words not conflating cooperation with the idea of immunity. >> yes. immunity does come in a number of different forms. there is one that is called use immunity that is negotiated between the parties and you work out an agreement that you won't use a person's statements against them in exchange for information. that could be drafted as a contract, and you could agree on the scope of what that immunity would be and the topics to be covered. and the other is transactional immunity and that means they won't be prosecuted on their own statements orz anything as a result of it. we don't know what we have here but if there is immunity given it means the person -- weisselberg or pecker has given up his fifth amendment right to not incriminate himself and not talk and will talk in exchange for an agreement not to use those stateme

and that's the way the jury worked. >> barbara, you've dealt with juries for years and years. this is a classic case. >> yeah, it happens from time to time. you know, some people -- she said that the reason was reasonable doubt. some people get an unrealistic expectation of what reasonable doubt means. the judge will instruct it's not beyond all doubt or shadow of a doubt, but reasonable doubt, that's doubt based on reason and common sense. some have an axe to grind. some don't like the prosecutors. some think the defendant is being railroaded. it's a power that jurors have. in fact the rules of evidence really prohibit the court from inquiring into what people said in the jury room, because it is really sacrosanct, what they say there. they're entitled to that power and to those candid conversations. and so a jury has that power. it is frustrating. i watched the trial, i thought that if i had been on that jury, i would have very easily found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt of all of the counts. it sounds like 11 of the other jurors did the same. but that's a reality, and it d

barbara? >> how do he go from 1968 to 1970 and kent state, and the answer is nixon opening up the cambodian front in the vietnam war, and that is to invade cambodia to try to stop the flow of men anteriorly from the north into the -- and material from the now the to the south. and used against the united states forces. what the announcement of that in april of 1970, the campuses explode again, particularly kent state, tractor-trailer a peaceful demonstration -- there's a peaceful demonstration, but several students are killed. so that is yet another open wound for the united states to have to deal with. how did these people organize? i just watched a fascinating documentary last night about the civil right movement, and martin luther king, jr. and the media, and without social media, the way to get to the media, in those days, social media is now a misnomer, it's to be between the government and people, now we are the media, the people of the media, but it's what pat was saying, how to reach t

>> barbara and i were good friends. as you said, we both had come from nevada and if she needed votes for nevada she always can count on me. and if i ever felt i needed her support, i could always count on her. she was quite a lady. >> do you remember any particular piece of legislation that you worked on together? >> i think -- i'm trying to think. barbara and i worked on the yucca mountain. as you recall, there were people in the country who wanted to pour all of the nuclear waste into yucca mountain in nevada. and nevada didn't want it and the people didn't want it and barbara didn't want it. and i stood strong with her during those debates. and she came over to any fund-raisers that i have in my district to give me support. >> i know we don't have much time left, but there was one particular women's piece of legislation i wanted to ask about the equal rights amendment and what your thoughts were about the importance of having the e.r.a. >> i worked to -- that was during the nixon administration and president nixon w

barbara and i worked on the yucca mountain. as you recall, there are people in the country who wanted to poor all of the nuclear waste in the yucca mountain. nevada did not want it, the people did not want it. barbara did not want it. and i did not want it. i stood strong with her. she would give me support. >> i know we don't have much time left, but there was one particular women's piece of legislation, the equal rights amendment, and your thoughts about the importance of having the e.r.a.? helen: that was during the nixon administration. and president nixon was for it. i supported it. and i cannot tell you who else supported it, but we passed it, as i recall. didn't we? >> it passed in the house and it went to the states. >> but not enough states ratified it. helen: but we did do it, we passed it. what a bunch of bums. >> where do you want to go to? >> what is your feeling about the importance of women in leadership? how important do you think that was? helen: i was very glad. again, it opened the door for other women. and i

barbara: the problem with the no deal brexit is the timing. the timing works for it. because theresa may has a party conference in early october, the for that she cannot make a move, because the hardliners are out for battle against her. if she survives the party conference, she has six weeks until the end of november to get negotiations in brussels going again and make further compromises, figure out in agreement. that is a tight timeframe. almost impossible. the more the weeks race down to the end of november, the more likely a no deal scenario is. brent: i don't know if you are hungry, but mr. raab assured brits that they would be able to continue enjoying their bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches no matter what. would brussels stand in the way of a blt even in the event of a no deal? barbara: basically not, but some of them are even made in northern france and that won't happen after brexit. if the brits don't mind it wilted lettuce and old tomatoes, they will continue to have the blt because fruit will be stuck in trucks. however, maybe for britain, it is the b

barbara hagerman was her name. of course, matthew brady took two photographs of burns under his porch in a rocking chair with his crutches, showing his wounded leg. and also, the musket he owned from apparently the war of 1812. it is never really claimed that that is the musket he used in the battle. but that musket is eventually sold to a private collector in gettysburg, and eventually, that musket is purchased by the pennsylvania state museum. and that musket is on display today and harrisburg at the pennsylvania -- in harrisburg at the pennsylvania state museum. there is no doubt from close-ups of the photograph that it is the exact same musket. that is fascinating. you can see it on display, the musket in the photograph. and again, i am not going to say it is the musket used in the battle, because i am pretty sure it is not. you can see there is another photograph. there were two different images recorded of burns in a rocking chair chair on his porch. -- chair on his porch. i don't have an incredibly high reso

attorney barbara -- i feel like we should launch a legal show today. and white house reporter jonathan la mere. chuck and joyce, we've been talking about the fact that cohen had likely done some sort of deal by thursday of last week. chuck, you said that his silence was deafening. joyce, you agreed the very next day. once again, you were both right. but tell me what it means that there is, according to "new york times" reporting, there is a plea deal for cohen, but it is not known or hooking as though there is not an agreement to cooperate. chuck, is that something that could come later or is this sort of cooked at this point? >> it's not fully koo y cooked. it can come later, but if the reporting is accurate, he's pleading straight up, meaning he's just saying essentially i did it, you got me. but he gets some credit for that, first off. second, he can get more credit if the government wants to hear his story and he wants to give it. so not precluded. but we'll have to wait and see what the documents say. >> chuck, let me ask you tonight, i heard from

barbara can go into that in more detail. but most recently the iaea just recently came out with a report saying that it had very grave concerns. so obviously the president called in secretary pompeo just moments ago, he was with andrew kim, the director of the cia that deals with north korea, one of secretary pompeo's closest advisers on north korea. obviously the assessment was made that now is not a good time for secretary pompeo to go there. i love how at the end though president trump gives husband warmehusband --is warmest wishes to the north korean leader. but obviously this is a real slap to the north koreans who were expecting him. >> julian, this is the president admitting it is not going well and all signs had been pointing to a lack of progress, but the president in the past has continued to sort of put on a happy face about all of this. so his change in tone is also noteworthy. >> it is. i mean, what is noteworthy about this is trump's change of tone. you know, north korea experts have been predicting something l

congresswomanican barbara comstock who is running for reelection. her challenger is a democratic senator and she writes, barber, stack and donald trump blew -- barbara comstock and donald a eight $2 trillion hole in the federal deficit by giving a tax handout to the wealthiest and now they are going to pay for on the backs of federal workers by denying them scheduled pay raises. the suburbs of washington dc. let's go to brad from north carolina. prefer that trump did the -- put a freeze on the wages for federal workers. i've got another comment. the guy before, he was bragging about how the economy grew at 3.5% over inflation from world until say, 1980, when reagan became president. well, why didn't you ask him what the tax rate was then? in.as 91% until jfk got he cut it to 71%. then reagan came in, he cut i t way, way down. it seems to me they are going in the opposite direction of everything. host: thank you. chris, a federal worker in our nations capital. caller: hi. host: yes, good morning. caller: i am a federal worker and it probably comes as

jonathan lemire, robert costa, barbara quaid. thank you. >>> coming up, he went big for trump early, arrested and charged by a trump appointee at the justice department for something he might have been photographed doing at the white house on the lawn. >>> and later, the president says he's five for five. others in his own party, however, are scoring the situation a bit differently with the midterms 90 days away. "the 11th hour" just getting started on wednesday night. from the very beginning ... it was always our singular focus, a distinct determination. to do whatever it takes, use every possible resource. to fight cancer. and never lose sight of the patients we're fighting for. our cancer treatment specialists share the same vision. experts from all over the world, working closely together to deliver truly personalized cancer care. specialists focused on treating cancer. using advanced technologies. and more precise treatments than before. working as hard as we can- doing all that we can- for everyone who walks through our doo

also with us is barbara mcquade. before i get into the crux of where we stand right now, barbara, i have to address one matter we just heard president trump talk about in his interview. this allegation that he makes that president obama did this, they are completely separate matters. the $375,000 fine that was paid by the obama administration were about campaign filing irregularities. this is about a conspiracy, a felony conspiracy to keep something of public interest out of the way of the american people to influence the election. the idea that the president is conflating those is ridiculous. >> yeah, this is just another example of what aboutism. it's a game he likes to play and a lot of people fall for it. if you look at the facts of what happened in the obama situation and happens in many campaigns, a civil penalty filed for technical violations and paperwork violations and that happens from time to time in this highly complex world of campaign finance. >> missing filing deadlines for filing large donations durin

barbara, you worked within the trump organization.s there any person who's got a better understanding, perhaps outside the family, of how that organization works than allen weisselberg, and i'm talking down to the nickels and dimes here. >> you know, i've been asked that question many times and i've heard the experts speak to what he knows and what he doesn't know and what he controls, and i'm a little surprised, to be honest with you. when i worked there many years ago, allen was working in brooklyn and he was in charge of the apartment buildings. but when he moved to new york, and i can't pinpoint the date, he was the chief accountant. he was a person that paid the bills, that made sure the payroll was right, that sent out the invoices and things like that. he was an executive vice president, but he was not part of the inner circle by any stretch of the imagination. so this is news to me. perhaps over time things developed with allen. he was certainly was a low-key guy. he was the kind of guy i'm not sure may have called donald, may

stout attorney generals like new york's attorney general barbara underwood who just subpoenaed michaelhen has part of an investigation into the trump foundation. a yale law professor says the idea of a state attorney general trying to indict a sitting president, "if a case went forward that would -- it would be up to the courts to decide whether the president is immune from criminal prosecution. up to the courts, not the dep of justice." if you were hypothetically looking for a trap door in the office of legal counsel's opinion on indicting a sitting president, the trap doors are there, if you know where to look. joining us now is matt axelrod, a former justice department prosecutor and senior department of justice official under president obama. matt, thanks for joining us. you have been looking into this. you have been thinking about this and the provocative argument here is that even if we assume robert mueller's hands are fully tied by the olc opinion that a sitting president cannot be indicted in 1973 and in 2000, there might be other people who can step in, namely state and local
