correct? >> that is correct. >> in fact, just this past year, johnson & johnson's ceo was asked in a deposition whether asbestos is safe. he stated, quote, i would agree that asbestos is considered unsafe. i'm not an expert geologist or safety expert in that particular area. but generally speaking, we would say, yeah, asbestos is not safe. on october 18th, the fda announced it had detected asbestos in j&j's talcum powder. dr. moline, what is the significance of this announcement? >> that to this day, they're finding asbestos when they go off the shelf. in talcum powder. and it's putting thousands, if not millions, of people at risk in the future. >> dr. longo? >> that is correct. and those results verify our results of finding asbestos in the johnson & johnson's product from the chinese mine, which is the mine that's being used today. >> dr. longo, it's important that we have sensitive testing methods to detect any level of asbestos in consumer products, right? >> yes, sir, that's correct. >>

does correct mean put it back the way it is or what does correction mean? >> so notice of correction is one of the things of the department of building inspection, so i can't say too much on it. the building code is more about making sure that any work that's done is safe. from the planning department's perspective, if there's a determination that scope -- work was done beyond scope or work was done just without permit, you have to legalize that work, and then, that process of legalization is -- it's part of a policy review. that doesn't mean you automatically get it, it means we look at it as if you were proposing it new. n now -- we did not want them to keep the work that was done, we wanted them to remove the stair and keep it two units. essentially, any time work is done beyond permit or without permits, we say you have to take that same scope of work that hasn't been permitted, apply for that as a permit, and we'll review that as if it was new. we may not change it. it may be fine and we support it, or propose some other work that's an alternative. but

>> no, that's not correct. president trump: what is your solution. >> my solution is what you have the right indistinct for in the beginning, the flavors hooked the kids. take the flavors. leave tobacco for assaults. your original instippingt and suggestion was right. we're not prohibitionists, leave tobacco flavor for adults because in the end, it's not there yet but if the science ultimately proves that yes, this is going to help people quit, then they should have that right. we have no interest in telling adults what to do. i don't think the science is there yet. we need more data. >> let's clarify for everyone the benefits. lots of statements have been made about e cigarettes and those that harm reduction devices. there's been no evidence submitted to the f.d.a. about that fact. any manufacturer who makes that claim will be enforced against. you may think there's that evidence. that evidence -- that exactly is the process of tobacco control act requires is bringing forth that evidence in the context of the

( laughter ) so that's where trump's i love the '90s legal team is at. and we'll see them make their arguments later today but today the senate was more about establishing the ground rules of this impeachment trial and it sounds like it's going to be a pretty tight ship. >> it is an historic day in washington where the u.s. will meet in a few hours to start the impeachment trial of the president of the united states. >> for the senators today, it's going to feel like a really long day at school, you know those cubbies many of your kids have? the senators will have to put th

they didn't even ask me if my name was spelled correctly i could have at least corrected theirs in hindi i can't read in english so i couldn't correct that anyways and now if the government starts scrutinizing this closely we will of course get into trouble what is on the on the island. the problem runs across the family. in his father's documents and in those office 7 children. these seemingly innocuous mistakes could lead to questions about their lineage is reading of the in the son of parana arcana do his children have the same father the one who has lived in india all his life and they could need answers soon. already the government is doing out a national population register which will ask for their parents' date and place of book. birth and death certificates the clearest way to saw a person's lineage are not common in villages like these if these documents i eventually used to grant citizenship rights the fallout one just taught muslims. these men are hindu but they are wanted to the belong to castes that have been historically oppressed in india many do not own land if the lack o

they have had very meaningful corrections. look at apple and other tech leaders, they are clearly great, great companies. i love all the apple products even though my wife is tired about -- tired of hearing about me buying all the apple products. i just don't think it is a great stock at this time. i think you could get a deeper correction. microsoft,zon and sentiment has shifted from amazon and the web services, not cofactor, the cloud business, it relates to amazon and microsoft. craig: if you look at the charts of both of these. amazon, that chart has really been consolidating sideways now for the better part of the last 12 months or so on a relative basis. i like what i am seeing with microsoft. the trend is much stronger with microsoft. the cloud business at amazon and microsoft, those of been the drivers. but it looks like microsoft is moving ahead. from a chart perspective, we are better off and generating better alpha with microsoft right now than we are with amazon. taylor: he mentioned parabolic. i think there is ano

you said that you were sweeping up a little bit correct. but the fact is you want to sweep you were selling drugs correct it'll blow up some. of the part. of this it will be through the home you're not going to through this information names on the record. how many you see hope it will resume 6 showpiece in 400 i know leaders want to move the 3 a.

>> their permits are still good until september, correct? >> yep. >> so... >> so what is in front of us is to waive the fee, but the city attorney is for us to deny collecting of the assessment of costs costs, the department would have had to do something wrong. obviously, they've done nothing wrong, but at what point when you have a situation where it's clearly not the permit-holder's fault as to why that $1300 was accrued and based on the presentation here today, what options are then in resolving that? i'm not putting any blame on the department. they were doing their job. they have guidelines to follow. so what are the options there of releasing that fee, or the assessment of costs? >> the code provides that the board would need to find substantial error. the department may have the ability to waive the fees on its own? i'm not sure about that. >> for the sake of moving forward, i still move that we postpone -- extend the abatement for a month. and ask the department to look into waiving the fees. >> second. uphold the order of abatement

correct them both up. for the right. and this could be true the hope you are not going to be true yes. based on a record. how do you see the word hard or was 6 easy for a guy you know years or was the 3 'd caliber you know a little noble and good it could have been over by. the press. were pretty hard to tell ok since. the scene you were never able to have those shell casings with any specific knowledge or to put. i don't know if accounts are the colors. of the 3 are possible. or very well as a listen then you could show the other your pocket but the evidence we have. says you were there that's the problem that that's the problem so eventually i roll but i'm not letting people sign my feet and needed their own opinions only when there is that at that not what i want to know i want to this will happen. around it's a legal field by x. it as if it is a big unknown or now. when i have it i'm not i'm going to try to do no harm of this walker meet. jack he so i think. i'm good morning there are more certain who

to the correctness or not of that you know. the fact that he can make that allegation submit it is bill clinton and his team are admitted that they are i think it's that will happen in a day and station that the whole bit of interest me says the audit team could find no legal authority for even the existence of this excess crude account so it's a sham and a slush fund isn't it why don't why don't you admit it. and with that yeah there's no legal basis for this for this account and you know i don't think it's correct to say that this normally would be what because the. cult i've known about it even before we came to government. it said the audit team could find no legal authority for even the existence of this excess crude account how come you didn't or persistent warnings from the auditor general as he said year after year not just your government but the previous one going back to 2007 to bring this in line with the law again you tell me you follow the rules but it's not backed up by the auditor general we followed the rules a

i think you could get a deeper correction in this name. taylor: i want to continue on and push forward to amazon and microsoft which will be reporting later. sentiment has shifted from amazon and the web services, not having the cool factor, to microsoft and their cloud business really taking on, especially when the -- with the jedi contracted your thoughts on the cloud business, as it relates to amazon and microsoft. craig: if you look at the charts of both of these. if we first start with amazon, that chart has really been consolidating sideways now for the better part of the last 12 months or so on a relative basis. i like what i am seeing with microsoft. the trend is still much stronger with microsoft than what i had with amazon. so the cloud business at amazon and microsoft, those of been the drivers for these companies. but it looks like microsoft is moving ahead from that perspective and showing better relative strength. so from a chart perspective, we are better off and generating better alpha with microsoft right now than we are w

, we'll call him correct. again, my assertion would be based on fundamentals right now you're pointed towards large cap. if you believe in a melt up which we were calling for just one week ago, then he's going to be wrong, because small cups, semiconductors, that's exactly where the market is going to pivot towards. i think the melt up has been somewhat postponed because you're seeing other places right now where the market is finding opportunity. back to semis, nvidia. why is nvidia higher because the money wasn't in nvidia if you look at ipos from 2019, they were abysmal. >> nvidia had -- >> late move, not a consistent move through 2019. where recently the money is going to nvidia. i agree on that. it wasn't through 2019 if you look at ipos from 2019, they are abysmal look at all the ipo names today, 4, 5, 6% higher. the market is reallocating and not looking so much at the melt up story from 2019 and trying to find opportunities elsewhere. >> more broadly he wouldn't be surprised to see a modest correction

it is corrected. it will be hard to correct because people talk about buying congress. it is not totally like that, but it is significantly like that. money does rule a lot of congresspeople. their opinions follow the money. if you're going to have a democracy, you really have to have one person, one vote. not one dollar, one vote. i think we need to elect a congress that will overturn it if the supreme court itself will not overturn it. >> let me bring it back to this case. why is it relevant today? >> it is relevant today because the world has not shed its problems. in a lot of ways, there is an indication that it has hardly progressed on some of the problems. some of the problems have become much worse. freedom of speech in the schools, among the students who have a future in front of them is absolutely essential in my opinion. >> john tinker joining us from des moines. thank you for being with us.
