christopher hitchens. i just checked and i interviewed utah 20 times since 1983 and a mess and this is one of the hardest. because you haven't been well. sue and not very well printed. host: what is the current status of your cancer printed. christopher: i have a tumor in my esophagus. as metastasized and spread to my lymph nodes. and i'm afraid it's on my long. and it's a stage four. and the thing to note about stage iv is there's no hope except stage five. so it is concentrated. but i have

christopher o'leary, let's work away backwards. can you explain what president trump's executive action when it came to unappointed insurance he signed this weekend, what it did in how it compares to what was offered under the cares act? guest: good morning, john. thank you for having me on. pleasure to be on washington journal. certainly i can address the executive order. i read it. theink i understand objective. up and talke back about this whole idea of supplementing unemployment. it is interesting. there have been eight recessions since the eisenhower administration. every one the federal government has extended the duration of regular state on employment insurance benefits. there was a modest additional compensation added during the great recession in 2009. $25 added. check.d to every benefit it went largely unnoticed. recognized the existing unappointed insurance system is inadequate in many ways. in particular in terms of income replacement. , think the executive order let's hope it was an effort to bridge the impasse. $600

christopher o'leary: thank you alexander. question.n excellent we've been studying the unemployment insurance system for 70 yearsng here. and we have looked at what this employmentf an insurance is a must before this crisis. ri've been writing that it needs improvement. and if you look at the recipients right across the state, and varies between about 11 or 12 percent of all unemployed floridians getting unemployment insurance. and to about 52 percent of new jersey residents who are unemployed. and they are getting events. that is a big difference. there's some other states that are at the low end. a lot of states in the southeast, haveth very low recipients rate. going into the crisis, the koster, the states are particularly less prepared to handle an influx of claims. so the kind of surprising are not surprising that the system is slow. i think alexander, you should not give up. if you have numbers. you can always go to the one stop .org and put in your zip code and get your nearest service center. they willg help you. plea

[laughter] christopher harvey with us. the problem with christopher harvey is when you get his research note, you go damn, because there's always one or two sentence since -- one or two sentences that are absolutely brilliant. christopher harvey with wells fargo, you absolutely daniel the -- you absolutely nail the under ownership of apple computer. how is it possible that apple is under owned? christopher: that is a great question. it is something we have been monitoring for about two years now. we have been scratching our heads why institutional pms have been underweight apple. we talk about the underweight, , and they was growth would say, we don't care. we would say, you should. growth stock. let's move on. now a lot of people are saying, how did apple get to where it is .t this point in time that is why we think it continues to grind higher. tom: what is the behavior of fund managers as they continue to quarter and? -- to quarter end? are they forced to buy these highflying techs? christopher: i'm not sure if they are

and i met christopher, and we just hit it off. >> christopher wright, a real estate developer, lived in the same loft building as bianca's friend. there was a party in the building. bianca was invited. >> and one night, you knew. >> yeah. yeah. >> to anyone watching, it was an obvious, perfect match. friends and loft neighbors, dave and lisa. >> b is so lovely and she's kind of quirky. and i think she brought that playfulness out in chris. >> he's a positive guy before. he was ecstatic after. >> so it was true, blind, passionate love that drove bianca to give up everything she had known. her whole life back in england. and move here, to utah, to be with chris. where six months after that first moment they laid eyes on each other, they were married. >> he made me feel very safe. >> her protector and incurable romantic. >> this is a man who cries always through romantic movies. like the notebook. >> it didn't take long for bianca to become firmly entrenched in loft living. >> the lofts were full of incredibly crazy people. >> academics. airline pilots. physicians. documentary filmmaker

christopher, how much does the buck stopped with him?g under a lot of pressure. he's got an ally, quoted in the article. other tories getting the guillotine ready for mr williamson. he has some enemies. this is a problem a long time coming. last week, the scottish government came out and did in about—face on this exact issue. these algorithms are judging these pupils on previous performance by other pupils in previous years, so ifa other pupils in previous years, so if a year is outperforming in the school, the kids in that year will be downgraded because of kids in the previous school years and in previous school years and in previous years, and that's what seems so unfair. in this piece on the front page of my paper, the telegraph, talks about one person who, having telegraphed three b by his teachers, got ubb. u is an unclassified grade. it is dion to fail. let's move onto the guardian, you touched on this, poorest hit ha rd est by a—level you touched on this, poorest hit hardest by a—level results. but it says that britain's equality

i will bring christopher in on that point.to the front page of the guardian we can see now which says... it says the equality watchdog says it will intervene in the controversy over the results in england after stu d e nts the results in england after students from disadvantaged backgrounds were the worst hit, whilst private school pupils benefited the most. what you make of that? it is shocking, it's so against what this government is meant to stand for, it stands for levelling up and helping the so—called redwall seats the tories won last december and now it seems to be weighted against those high achievers in these more poor communities. boris johnson will achievers in these more poor communities. borisjohnson will be shaking his head, another blow to him after shaking his head, another blow to hi m after less shaking his head, another blow to him after less than a year of being prime minister. i think the equalities watchdog getting involved will focus minds in the department for education and quual. this issue will not go

christopher: i think that is the risk.ltimately, a nonzero risk that election results are delayed because the ballots are not in and counted on time. even open upannot mail-in ballots until the day after election day. if things gosue is to the courts, broader issues, so the legitimacy of the ultimate outcome, whether for trump or biden, comes into question, and that is something investors will have to watch. the dnc mobilize and do something about the postal service? why can't efforts be used for mail-in ballots? christopher: as we are learning when we go through this every two years, the plumbing that undergirds our election system, is really managed on a state-by-state basis, dependent on local volunteers, governments. the federal government is not nearly as involved in efforts to standardize all of that to underpin that structure as much as it should be. that is something that we should look at, probably should have ,ooked at it during gore-bush and since then, but i feel like this will be a further notch for us to pay

let's start with you christopher since it is your paper.ch is on quite a lot of the papers and it was the sts well. this full controversy over the a—level results. —— as it was the case as well. this is the mess caused by covid—i9, when children were told not to come back to school after late march. now we are left with having the system trying to guess what exam was grades they would have got in we have an algorithm trying to work out whether it's a fair reflection of what they would normally get and within that you have some really sad stories of stu d e nts have some really sad stories of students who would never get a d being given an d because previous stu d e nts being given an d because previous students in the same you're dead to get them or below that. so there is a real sadness. i'm struck by the photograph of page one of my paper, normally it's a day of young men and women smiling and laughing and being happy but instead you have this bewildered look of two young ladies in masks and another one talking to them. they look utterly

christopher hitchens, of all your books, which is your favorite? >> the most recent god is not great. it is my favorite because the one that underlies all the other efforts i have made and taken the longest to write. it didn't take me long to write but i didn't start and i been thinking about it for many year years. >> the new testament exceeds the evil of the old. >> yes that's an easy proposition to prove in the old testimony. those without the old testament among the early christian theologians. they have to say jesus fulfills the testimony so with the slaughter and torture. and jenna told utilization and massacre and cruelty. but no talk about punishing the dead except the testament that when you been killed and others killed with you and your wives and children sold into slavery then the god is done with you he will not suffer anymore not until jesus says cast me into eternal fire and then they torture the dead forever. so the new testament thought was meager and milder but it is not it is much nastier. >>host: a long short war. this is a shor

for me, it's not christopher nolan's most involving piece of work, though. concept as fascinating as i did interstellar or memento, but its dense plot should bring rewards for fans keen to decode it over multiple viewings. the frequent french comedy—drama perfumes stars emmanuelle devos as a former perfumer who now works as what they call a nose. anne's job is to sniff out problems in products and create a scent that customers don't turn their noses up at. from luxury leather handbags to cat litter, corporatejobs keep her busy enough to hire a chauffeur, guillaume, played by gregory montel. as a cash—strapped divorced father, he's reluctantly prepared to put up with a client who's both rude and demanding — which anne certainly is — but guillaume begins to take an interest in anne's work, and an unlikely understanding develops. cut from the same cloth as driving miss daisy and green book, perfumes pits two opposite characters against each other on journeys, making humourous work of their differences and tugging on the old heartstrings as they change each othe

this happened on christopher wra y's watch. this was in 2018 the year after the subsource was interviewed by the fbi three times telling them it's a bunch of garbage and tell the senate intel committee it's reliable just like they did the fisa court. i'm going to find out who did that briefing and whoever it is they are in trouble. maria: what are you going to do? you're going to write a letter to christopher wray? >> right. i'm going to write a letter to christopher wray and explain this briefing to the congress. how could you send somebody over from the fbi in 2018, february/ march 2018, to brief about the subsource and mislead the senate so badly, you have information in your files that horowitz found where the subsource completely denied the reliability of the dossier but the fbi continued to lie as late as 2018. if it weren't for horowitz finding this we would never know , so mr. horowitz, you did this a great service, thank you. maria: yes, and his ig report as well. look let me ask you about sally yates. what did you lea

you know, chris, you say christopher wray is very deliberate.oing too hard on wray for wanting action now or is he handling this in the proper manner? >> chris is trying -- he inherited quite a mess from the failed leadership of jim comey and strzok and page and that whole palace guard around comey. he's had a very difficult task in trying to restore the credibility of the agency. it is the best agency in the world. it has the finest men and women this country has to offer. chris is being very deliberate about it, making sure he's not breaking any rules, not stepping on the investigation of john durham which is where the real -- i think the real crux is. durham's investigation is what's going to reveal what really happened in the course of this russia investigation and all the political machinations behind it. carley: we're all waiting for that to be finished so we can learn more about it. speaking of james comey, last week sally yates was in front of the senate judiciary committee and she said jim comey went rogue when he interviewed michael fl

elizabeth: steele's own source, christopher steele's own source told the fbi, these are not my words. don't know where he got the words that christopher steel is quoting me, the source from, i don't know where he got those words. now we have senate homeland security chair ron johnson subpoenaed fbi director christopher wray to provide all records related to the trump-russia probe and documents related to the transition. again and again, you see, was the obama administration purposefully misleading to give cover to the steele dossier to justify fiz can court wiretaps to spy on the trump campaign to do surveillance? >> by the same thing happened -- go ahead, take that. take it. i will follow up with a question. >> yeah. i was just going to get to jim comey. the buck has to stop somewhere, liz. you see everybody moving away from jim comey like the guy is toxic. you saw sally yates throw up under the proverbial bus last week. you have jim comey, those around him, maybe susan rice, joe biden, president obama, somebody has to know something. as people continue to sell each other out on this

christopher steele was reliable when the fbi well knew that was completely untrue?ast time i checked the federal statute, that's a crime. gregg: well it is a crime -- >> it's a crime and christopher wray should appear and should come bearing a full load of documents that he has been sitting on, if you will, requests for documents that have been made. yes, indeed he should come. mccabe should come. because this is a, this was all carried out by the obama doj, the obama fbi. it was caried out with the taxpayer dollar and we have to get to the bottom of this. when you talk about why do people not trust your institutions, look what has happened. they were spying, the fbi was spying on u.s. citizens without any reason. they knew there was no reason to spy. gregg: well, christopher wray has a lot of answering to do because he covered it up. >> yes. gregg: he buried it in the tomb of unknown classified documents in the bowels of the j. edgar hoover building. i hope you get him under oath. senator blackburn, thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you. gregg: coming
