i also want to thank my democratic partner on thisport bill, david scott. with that, i urge adoption of this bill and yield back the balance of my timele the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentlewoman -- ms. waters: i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is ecognized. mr. hensarling: i'm pleased to yield three minutes to the gentlelady from utah, ms. love. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from utah is recognized for three minutes. ms. love: thank you, mr. speaker. when it comes to bank regulation the job of the regulator is to balance the need for economic growth with the safety and the soundness of financial systems. with fresh memories of the most recent financial crisis, it's natural for regulators to aeroon the side of being overly cautious so they aren't blamed when something goes wrong. unfortunately, this has led to a situation in which regulators are evaluating stress tests based on subjective and unclear standards. the stress tests are opaque. it's like asking banks t

david: okay, scott, finally on tesla, a big pop today, up about 5%. on the other hand, they still have the problem about producing cars. they're in the car business. they made a commitment to 400,000 people who put down 1,000 bucks each that they come out with the cars but delay the deliveries. what's going to happen with tesla? >> going bounce around a lot. tesla is getting a case of the overreactions to the downside. maybe see elon musk on the production line to get the cars going. he had uninevitable tweet and enviable tweet on april fool's day about the company going bankrupt. that wasn't good. the reality is going to set in, great technology, great batteries, they obviously lose a lot of money but there is the demand there. david, if they can get the cars into production, that's going to help the stock. david: gary and scott, good stuff, guys, thank you very much. appreciate it. cheryl? >> speaking of demand, in the spotlight on the floor of the new york stock exchange today was spotify. the music streaming service going public, and kristina part

. >> well, i want to begin by thanking our mayor, mark farrell, and our chief david scott. a little history about park smart. back in 2014, i served as the captain of central station, paying very close attention to all the auto burglaries that are that were taking place, and as the chief has mentioned, arresting those responsible is a primary duty of ours, but what's equally or more important is prevention, the message that those that come to our city, who enjoy our city, the mer chapters and the residents and the visitors to simply keep their car empty. it was back then, supervisor mark farrell, district two, we worked together on putting ambassadors up on lombard street, and they had a goal of messages all the visitors coming through about leaving their cars empty. i'm sure mark farrell, you remember when we worked on that, and thanks to you, we got the ambassadors up on lombard street educating everyone. but i went to my police advisory board at central station about needing their help, and the community is very important in education and crime prevention messages. and i

david: scott, as kristina, it is supposed to go to those overcharged for various fees. what i like about the action it was enforced against somebody doing something wrong instead of brand new rules and regulation, in the past administration when one bank did something wrong, every bank paid for it. means eventually the customers. this is specific targeted enforcement night is. trump talked about that, coming after individual companies that are responsible. listen, one billion dollar fine amongst a company that made 88 billion in revenues last year. that is a drop in the bucket. but selling car insurance to people didn't even have cars, jack, that is probably a problem and bad idea deserves bigger fine next time around. i guess they're getting used to. melissa: representatives of u.s., canada and mexico meeting in washington to hammer out an agreement. fox business's edward lawrence with the latest. edward. reporter: trade ministers taking a break. they're done for the day talking about this deal, however their staff it goings to negotiate through the weekend. the trade

i want to bring in caroline polici, a federal and white colar defense attorney, david rohdes, scott jennings to new york. you're kind of here. >> you're buying, i'm flying. >> let's talk about the memos that -- that comey talks about a lot in his book. there's a lot of detail in these memos. let me get your take. scott, you first. what do you think? >> number one, these memos remind us that the flynn hire for national security advisor was stupid. i mean, this was unbelievable. number two, comey was -- >> no. keep that in mind. >> comey pretty consistent i think we heard most of this in his public statements and testimony. number three, i thought it was interesting at the dinner comey told the dinner, i don't leak and then later testified that he did, in fact, leak. >> according to a law enforcement guy here he said that's technically not a legal. he said legally it's not a leak. >> we'll go with that for now. finally, the most eye popping passage, the president of the united states wants to throw reporters in jail, subject them to symptom kind of sexual abuse apparently, but then comey is la

david: mark crumpton is here with bloomberg first word headlines. late into epa chief scottfor the ethics and spending scandal that were prompting bipartisan calls for his dismissal or resignation. the public grilling and a house hearing came as support has aoded for pruitt after month-long hammering of negative headlines about outside security spending. joined with i ranking member comings of the oversight committee to request an additional investigation by the office of special counsel into your troubling pattern of apparently retaliating against epa employees who question your extravagant spending. i am confident these investigations will affirm what i have come to believe is true. that you are unfit to hold public office and undeserving of the public trust. as itave nothing to hide relates to how high run the agency for the past 16 months. i'm not afraid to admit there has been a learning process and -- when congress finds problems with our decision-making i want to maker that does not happen again. truthsitt said half twisted allegations were an effort to undermine the

we know they're looking into a number of issues, david, involving scott pruitt. how much longer does he last at this point? >> it will be slorter than he wants. as the associate resigned today and things are closing in. the republican party is increasingly uncomfortable with where all this stands. what we know is the president will support you, but if you start getting bad headlines and the story doesn't go away, he pulls his support. that's basically what we're starting to see now. >> i do want to get your take on this, cnn exclusive interview with keith davidson, the former attorney for both stormy daniels and karen mcdougal offering up new details in how these financial deals came to be just ahead of the election. take a listen to this. >> the last conversation i had with michael cohen, he called to offer his opinion as to whether or not ms. daniels and ms. mckoogdougal had breached attorney-client privilege and thereby waived it. it was his assertion that each of them had. he was encouraging me and informing me as to his opinion that they had, in fact, waived

we will will david: epa chief scott pruitt spent time yesterday defending himself against bigger's attacks.- vigorous attacks we are joined by one of the lawmakers. york, he got new to question scott pruitt and told him he was never fit for office. good to have you here in. with the democrats -- what did the republicans say? it will take republicans to unseat scott pruitt. >> the unethical behavior and the misconduct and disregard for the public taxpayer's wallet. and the abuse of power are all recognized. i have to believe my colleagues on the other side of the aisle understand that. the silence is deafening. it is an awkward moment. to make certain the agency, the epa moves forward with stewardship of the environment, two things have to happen, you have to embrace the mission of the department and have to have sound this of leadership. ethical response to the role as administrator. shery: how much of a factor is the fact that he is -- how much of the scrutiny he is receiving has to do with the fact that he has been efficient in cutting back regulations? >> there are two goals, i want to

rob porter, david shulkin, scott pruitt, ryan zinky, mcentee. the process, we shouldn't gloss over the significance, i've never before heard a president talk about pardons so much. and the pardon process, maybe you can help our viewers understand this. it goes through the justice department and the white house counsel's office. and donald trump, in deciding to pardon scooter libby, would have had to involve his white house counsel don mcgahn who we know spent two days with bob mueller investigators. if donald trump said anything about the purpose of that pardon having anything to do with telegraphing, that he was down with pardons, don mcgahn would have to testify to that, wouldn't he? >> yes, that is exactly right. typically way the pardon process works, people who want to seek either a pardon or commutation of their sentence apply to the justice department. the justice department through the office of the deputy attorney general reviews the pardon, comes up with the pros and cons and makes a recommendation to the president through the white ho

david: it is not license on free trade, scott. it is free trade as long as the other side is genuine in convictions they're trading freely and they're not involved in stealing our intellectual property or preventing our goods entering their country. larry made it clear about that. >> that is true, david. we have seen these trade deals over the years matriculate that. seeing trump down with tpp is a good thing. look at market performance. we've seen the market get in a worrisome situation as carol said, about protectionist policies and tariffs and trade wars that takes uncertainty off the table and gives the s&p a little more room to run. david: before we sigh with a big smile on our face, we have to think about what is happening in the mid-east. we're being drawn into conflict there. a lot of people say it is inevitable something will happen soon. when it does is the market going to take another dive? >> let's think about this. this notion of trade with allies has a great history going back to the marshall plan. we didn't try to t

scott pruitt. >> is it the bottom of the ninth for mr. pruitt? joining me is david k. johnston author of "its even worse than you think." david, you have scott pruitt living for $50 a night, but even ed henry was not buying that on fox news. they did a good interview with him, they were tough on him. politico reporting that the lobbyist land lady had to change the locks on pruitt. that the arrangement was only supposed to be temporary, but he overstayed his welcome. he's being called the kato kalen of washington. your thoughts? >> scott pruitt is clearly a man who doesn't have a moral compass. he has a long history of these kinds of improprieties. somehow on the very modest income of an oklahoma state legislator he lived a much better lifestyle than you would expect on $34,000 a year, and as attorney general when his only income was a quarter mile ona year salary, he got a mortgage for more than $650,000. scott pruitt is a man who in any previous administration, even the scandal-plagued ronald reagan administration with 130 or so major scandals would have been fired ye

. >> david, i want to read you the tweet that donald trump put out about scott pruett. do you believe the fake media is pushing this issue. do people really believe this stuff? so much of the media is dishonest and corrupt. >> you can replace some of those words and names with anything including the russia investigation. what is this defense of scott pruett? what does this tell you about donald trump's position and scott pruett's future. >> he would not fire scott pruett today. >> i can tell you -- >> what time is it here, we have three more hours on the west coast. >> i know i'm going out on a limb here, but i run a newsroom with 20 people we came in this morning, what's going to be the big news of the day? is it going to be scott pruett? great, at least we're clear into saturday, sunday, monday. the worst thing as a trump cabinet member, the worst thing he can say about you is that he has full confidence in you, that lasts about a week or so. we can do an average at this point. i don't think scott pruett is secure. not because he's not doing what donald trump wants hi

administration officials, but there is no clear indication that scott pruitt has fallen out of the president's good graces in the way that david shulkin did. the president essentially let him twist in the wind for a few weeks before replacing him with the white house physician. but he really likes scott pruitt and likes what he's doing at the epa, just a few weeks ago he was quizzing people about what they thought about him replacing jeff sessions over at the department of justice. so it is important to keep in mind that it is not clear that the president is ready to fire him anytime soon. there is no clear replacement for him, and the president is expressing confidence in him for the time being. but, erica, with this administration, we have got to see just how long that can last. now, over on the president's twitter feed, it doesn't speak much about any of the scandals that surrounded his cabinet in recent days. he's tweeting about pretty much anything except that this morning. not just immigration, not just his predecessor, president barack obama, but also a tweet just a few minutes ago, continuing his fight with amazon, say

scott wiener. >> thank you, david, i want to thank assemblyman chiu for his leadership. when we served on the board of superviso supervisors together, we all care about infrastructure, but david took so much leadership on not just the sexy infrastructure, but on the infrastructure that we depend on but the people don't see. and the seawall is certainly part of that. i want to thank the port. i am really trying to work and support the port's effort to move this bond to the ballot. i want to thank elaine, my neighbor, and the entire port staff for its leadership on this critical issue. this is really about two realities of life. sea level rise and earthquakes. and as much as we want to wish them all away, we can't. the big earthquake is going to come and unless we take radical, radical action today around reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change, we're going to continue to see sea level rise. and sadly because of the disaster known as washington d.c., there is no bold action happeni happeni federally to address climate change, and we're doing what we can but t

david? >> all right thank you, scott we're getting new indications on spotify.t, let's get over to bob pisani who is monitoring what may go on for a while. i don't know bring us up to date. >> we're getting closer. this may open a little earlier than i anticipated i was thinking maybe 1:00 eastern time maybe a little earlier than that they narrowed the range. that's why i'm saying. this remember the early part of the process, reference price $132 and then they gave various indications $145 to $155, $155 to $165, now it's $160 to $165 now they're talking about a $5 spread in my experience, that's a sign they're getting closer we don't have an exact time right now. what impressed me is how orderly the process has been very clear steps going towards slightly higher price but not dramatically there hasn't been big, big price swings we haven't seen indications suddenly at $180 and then at $140 some different. it's been very, very slow and ordererly. the big question after this opens is how many people are actually going to sell remember, we're dealing with north of 9

david, the florida department of law enforcement is now responding to this. governor rick scott says that he's been briefed and is offering any support they might need. david? >> victor, thank you. >>> we are also following never before seen images tonight, just released in the prince investigation, from inside his home, his estates right after the music legend was found dead. what investigators are now revealing about the medication prince took, and this question tonight -- did he know what else he was taking? here's abc's eva pilgrim with the video. >> reporter: tonight, never before seen images, moments after police discovered megamusic star prince dead in his home. a bag and coat placed on a chair this, as minnesota investigators reveal the star may have unknowingly taken counterfeit medication, laced with deadly amounts of fentanyl. >> in all likelihood, prince had no idea he was taking a counterfeit pill that could kill him. >> reporter: but after an extensive two-year investigation, authorities declining to file criminal charges, saying they don't know how he got those dr

scotts yard. we're back with the "hardball" roundtable. david't know, are you running for lieutenant governor of florida. >> i got no comment on that. but -- >> that means you're running. i can read that. go ahead. >> everybody's. >> tell me your secret. here's something. democrats have to change 23 seats in the house to retake the majority. republicans right now are worried they're going to lose between 40 and 60 seats. here's why that matters. you can't recover in 2020. this would not only be loss for two years, it could be a loss for four. >> think ahead. >> here's something that i'll be watching. scott pruitt, the imbattled epa secretary has twos hearings on the hill. >> thursday. >> on thursday. i feel like when i've talked to people in the white house, that is going to be part of an audition to see how long he's going to keep his job. >> do you think the members of congress will be offend he's paying staff members more than they make up? >> i'm sure that will come up. >> quickly. that's what he did. >> well, what we know about the dnc, the

scott pruitt is hoping not to join that list. >> thanks very much. let's get some perspective from david riff kin. itutional lawyer formerly worked for the department of justice. he also works with scott pruitt, knows him personally. when you see all these allegations against him, you know him well. david, what do you think? >> let me just make a couple points. for example, the facts are not correct about most of the allegations. look at the the apartment issue. there is a memo that's available that indicates clearly that ep ethics official looked at the $50 per night access to a single bedroom and concluded it was not a gift. >> since that memo was provided, he has said he didn't have all the information that he need to do -- need to do make that decision. >> i looked at the memo. the first pages don't say that. >> the memo was written, and now the ethics person at the epa is saying they're reviewing it again because they didn't have all the information they needed. >> they're talking an allegation. maybe his daughter stayed there one night or more. was t it was not a gift. >> when you get to rent

. >> and when the people are confirmed, you don't have people like scott pruitt and david shulkin running around spending money like they're printing it in the backseat so you have someone you know you could trust and veteran affairs hits home for a lot of people and they won't just confirm anybody and it doesn't seem like it will happen for dr. jackson. >> look at president trump seeming to blame a vicious group of people that malign, talking about the democrats, he said he didn't even know the specific allegations, though a white house source tells us that jackson did warn the administration. when the president demonizes democrats for blocking this nomination when it is actually republicans senators, primarily leading the concern, you write in your book about tribalism, about how everything these days is devolving into pacts of people loyal to -- even to people more than ideology. is that part of this? this idea that president trump is getting his base to blame democrats even though it is not democrats really to blame at all here? >> sure. part of my argument is that human nature in a v

shulkin went through, and david shulkin obviously just left his post. but what scotthas done is even worse, really, than what tom price had done with those chartered flights, and yet the parking l president unceremoniously kicked out price and shulkin and seems to want to keep pruitt around because he's done everything trump wanted him to do. in terms of draining the swamp, that's the one thing he hasn't done, and that will come back to bite him, certainly. >> alex, why has the president been reluctant to fire scott pruitt? erin makes a good point, people can be fired from one day to the next. >> a big part of it may be because so many cabinet officials have already been fired and there's a big backlog in the senate right now, which is not happy about the number of cabinet posts they have to confirm. the trump administration doesn't want to set up another contentious confirmation fight on capitol hill. at the same time, pruitt has been one of the more effective trump cabinet secretaries. some of these other secretaries who were fired were not necessarily acting the wa
