when does it -- how was that? >> we saw a new version of the bill leaking on capitol hill last night. the idea is that they want to make some changes to appeal to , kind of smoothing things out >> all of this available online at cspan.org. just look under seize for -- series for "washington journal." we'll day you can -- take you love to the white house now with press secretary sara sanders. >> ms. sanders: he'll deliver remarks on the historic tax cuts and reforms he has been working on with members of congress. during his remarks, the president will discuss new details on the framework for hese cuts and reforms. these details will include specific proposed rates for individuals, small businesses and corporations and he will also discuss the elimination of loopholes that have rigged the current tax code in favor of the wealthy and well connected. as the president has said before, we will give our workers the level playing field they deserve and they will win. because if the fight is fair, no one on earth can beat

i'm a virginia business man and i look at what seismic tufting does. we -- testing does. we wrote a bipartisan letter to the administration expressing our concerns about seismic air gun blasting. our coastal economy relies on healthy ocean ecosystems that generate $95 billion in gross domestic product, supports nearly 1.4 million jobs each year. and we've heard from countless business owners, as congressman sanford said, elected officials, residents all along our coasts who recognize and reject the risks. nasa, the department of defense, the florida defense support task force have all expressed concern that offshore oil development will threaten their ability to perform critical activities. the north, south, midatlantic fishery councils, which are responsible for the management of fish stocks and habitats in federal waters from maine to florida, also has significant concerns about the risks associated with offshore drilling and seismic air gun blasting. we have numerous fishing and tourism interests, including all the local chambers of commerce, tourism, restaurant associ

so what does kim do? well, the foreign minister today is threatening that there could be an atmospheric test, a live test of a nuclear weapon, in the pacific. in other words, they might lob a long-range missile over japan with a nuclear warhead on it to explode in the pacific. this would be a major escalation, a major threat, but this is what the foreign minister said today. if they do that, what does trump do? and here you go. you've got two inexperienced, impulsive, some would say unstable presidents, playing a game of nuclear chicken in the most heavily militarized area on earth. this could go very wrong. >> and andrea, the world may be forced at some point to live with this notion, they say, is a deal breaker, a nuclear north korea. >> well, jim clapper said they will not denuclearize, that after his first visit to pyongyang in 2014, he came back absolutely persuaded north korea will be a nuclear power. containment and verification is the only solution, diplomatic solution which accepts them as a nucl

the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from -- or for what purpose does the gentlewoman from washington seek recognition? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. jayapal: mr. speaker, i rise to express my profound disappointment in the president's decision to repeal the daca program. this repeal is destroying the lives of nearly 800,000 young people, and in my home state of washington, there are over 17,000 washingtonians who have been granted this deferred action status. one of them is la rissa rezza garcia who came to the united states when she was 3 years old. larissa works with under-represented young people to connect them with opportunities to pursue their dreams within the education system. dreamers like larissa strengthen the fabric of our country. and, mr. speaker, i also want to express my disappointment that the house will take up h.r. 3697 tomorrow, a bill that would promote racial profiling, expand mandatory detention, and criminalize immigrants without n'dou process protections. -- any due process protections. we should be voting on

does that mean it's a cut. all of those groups decided at a price they would climb in bed with the obama administration to pass obama care. because it mandated that everyone had insurance. so if you want it or not, you're forced to buy insurance or if you're a corporation you're forced to buy insurance. they want more government bailouts. american people are tired of special interests deciding what the vote be in washington dc. >> shouldn't there be some pause that there is not a single medical health care group that supports the bill. >> there are millions of americans that will benefit, we think every state will benefit, because governors will be given the opportunto sense for their constituents and residents. taking something where the previous administration where they thought a utopian idea would now best how to distribute across america. less e let's allow the states to divide the program that is best for it's people. >> do you accept the analysis that precysti-existing conditioe not going to be protected

does the word citizenship come up in the meeting? and does the president understand that dreamers include a path to citizenship? ms. pelosi: i'm not here to speak about what the president understands, but i do believe there's an understanding that down the road there is an event all path to citizenship in the dream act and overwhelmingly the american people support that. 50% -- and then 12% want to send them back. it came up in the context of the suggestion that there might be other bills to be onsidered. reporter: did the president gave an indication he will sign he c.r.'s and what does it ean -- [indiscernible] ms. pelosi: we put the issue of c.s.r.'s on the table because it is essential to the well-being of the american people that the c.s.r.'s be unded. we didn't have any commitment back from the president on that, but we had an opportunity to convey how important it was to do that. quite frankly i believe it's in the president's interest to do it and to fund it and then when we have -- and we had this discussion a while back on

how does this matter for italy?f italy was asked if europe was in disarray and to have italy on the brink, -- if you're was in disarray into italy on the brink, that would be an issue. put together and italy is in disarray. i think they will make their way through, although it is not a great-looking situation. jonathan: think about how tight things are trading up. earlier this week blankfein came out and said he worries when corporate bond yields trade below dividend yields, take the euro and compare it to the stoxx 600 yield on high-yield europe, is that a cause for concern? aboutthinking broadly global central banks, why are they tightening? his inflation out of control? no. it is financial stability. whether it is u.s. high-yield or european high-yield, whatever credit market, they are getting compressed, specifically gold. sometimes there is too much of a good thing. that is the number one focus of central banks, financial stability. jonathan: trade something that does not come up much at the ecb news conference

section 431 does two things. first, it withdraws the clean water rule and second and more importantly, it breaks procedure and creates a loophole so that the removal of the clean water rule does not have to abide by the administrative procedures act. in essence, we're creating a loophole to eliminate a rule. a rule requested by the supreme court and one that took several years to put together. this elimination without allowing tweaks, thoughtful removal or comment is a radical and dangerous precedent. in fact, over 80 members of congress and i actually asked for an extension of the 0-day comment period to eliminate the clean water rule to allow the american people to have a say. the trump administration agreed with us, extended the comment period an additional 30 days. i don't get to say that often. clearly there's a desire for comment period as evidenced by our letter and the administration's decision to appropriately extend the comment period. but the language in this bill would eliminate that process completel

asks them to, does he owe them something in return, and does he feel that the people who have worked in this white house should go along with his thoughts on these -- >> i think the president feels that he owes it to the american people who elected him, which means they supported the agenda that he was trying to promote and the more that we have like-minded officials helping promote and push that agenda and pass that legislation, i think the better off we are and that's certainly the reason that the president was elected and so i think the more that we can have people help make that successful, that's certainly i think a positive thing and a right step forward. halley? >> i want to follow-up here. will the white house commit to releasing private e-mails related to government business? >> i'd have to ask. i'm not aware of something. >> does it seem like something you would do? >> i'm not going to get ahead of the conversation that hasn't taken place. >> will you let us know? >> sure. >> my other question is, when you talk about the president wanting to defend the flag. you know the oa

where does this all go? does it end in taking down the washington monument?nd in taking down -- charlie: i will tell you where many people suggest it should have gone. it should have gone in terms of denouncing, specifically, from the very beginning neo-nazis and , white supremacists and people of that political view, the should have gone there because those are the people that americans in world war ii went to fight against. he should have instantly denounced them. and you didn't at first instinct. in fact, you seemed to be doubling down in terms of moral equivalency. steve: i think he does see an equivalent. by the way, with antifa, which has come out as a domestic terrorist organization they were , there to pick a fight. by the way, what he was trying to say is that people who support the monuments staying there peacefully and oppose that, that is the normal course of the first amendment. he's talking about the neo-nazis and neo-confederates and the way areo, by the , absolutely awful. there's no room in american society for that. there's a fault on both s

what does it mean?tives for europe, and we have to decisionse investment in order to reach this objective. change have to treatment, but we need these new ambitions because for my eight generation, there is just one out of 10. do we want the dismantling of europe -- and it is an ongoing process. we discussed years and years over brexit, and now, it is all over brexit. we have a lot of tensions regarding overflowing europe, but in a few months or years, you will have all of the countries suddenly raising and saying -- this europe without any vision but just a lot of constraints. so we need more vision, less bureaucracy, 10-year objectives, and a national process. launch initiatives to resume this. we need new ambitions. that is the best way to address the brexit issue. why? because brexit is all about refusal of middle classes against a dysfunction in europe. so this new europe has to fairde a place, has to be and efficient, and provide a place for our middle classes. hat is our main weakness. there is n

does it add or strengthen the united states or does it detract and weaken?it detracts and withins. 43% of republicans say the same way. another issue. gay marriage. 77% of democrats are in favor. 42% of republicans are too. but only 31% of true trump voters agreed. a big gap between the gop as a whole and the true trump voter. how about the news media? does the news media play too little attention to issues of the working americans? finally, does it make you comfortable or uneasy that the nation is becoming more diverse and tolerant of different lifestyles? only 10% of democrats were uneasy. 44% of republicans said the same. over half of true trump voters, 56% answered the same way. so the true trump voters is starting to look distinct. will these voters react to the president entertaini d our data shows this is not a group looking for compromise or misdemeanor radiation. will they continue to stick and trust the president trump they got to know as the candidate? we're going to soon find out. when we come back. ever since president trump made a fire and fury

i think everybody does.hy would north korea ever disarm after what the obama administration did to muammar qaddafi in libya? we said at the time have you got to disarm, no more chem bioprograms. no more nuclear programs. okay, fine. i will do what you ask, and then thanks to hillary clinton and samantha power we killed him anyway. isn't that a clear message to leaders around the world keep your nuclear program. >> i think what kim jong un wants to do -- you know i have been there eight times. i don't know what he wants to do and what his end game is i don't think he is suicidal but is he very unpredictable. i think what he has said if you look at his speech four days ago he said he wants nuclear equivalency with the united states. nuclear missiles or weapons in the end he is sending a signal. i will negotiate with you, the united states. not with china or south korea or japan. but i think he is reaching a point is he is able technologically and able to hit the united states, hit the mainland, hit guam. i thi

charlie: how does torvald see her? chris how does torvald see her?completely changed person. he does not recognize her. charlie: is he surprised? chris i think he is dumbfounded. : charlie: he thought she would go off and drift into nothingness? chris: well, yeah. i think he was convinced she is still living but her outcome, , what has happened to her, i'm sure he has no idea. charlie: why does she leave? lucas: she has gotten into a spot where she is not sure what she wants and she has this strong suspicion the way she is walking through life is without any understanding of who she is as a person. so she thinks she needs to go find out who she is. charlie: her identity. lucas: yeah. she certainly does not think she can find that person if she stays in this house because she will keep falling into patterns of behavior, so she needs literally a change of scenery. charlie: it begs this question, who am i? lucas: yeah. the way the play articulates it, it talks about is a voice inside of your head. that voice is you, but you have all of these other voice

where does obstruction come in and where does president crazy man end? >> robert mueller is obviously doing a very thorough job in requesting all of these documents, if all of the reports are true. and he's been doing it at a quick pace, a lot faster than either the senate or the house investigations. i'm glad to see that he's moving at a brisk pace. it means that donald trump is brooding over this, he's concerned about where it's going, how tags it's moving, the fact that it may touch upon his direct family members, like donald trump jr. so i'm sure that's got him very concerned. as far as obstruction of justice, i've said before that it will be a big problem in the congress if we find -- if we confirm either through our investigations or if robert mueller confirms that donald trump ordered the firing of james comey specifically because of the russian investigation. >> i'm looking at the alamo over your right shoulder there. just curious about one thing. speaking of that, supposing robert mueller finds an article of impeachment, he sends the indictment

the president does not plan to make that a priority. we hope that does not happen.l allow that situation be dealt with if it happens. right now we continue to urge our officials who are elected to andhe will of the people get this fixed. we are going to keep promoting it with the other companies. emily: we were speaking about this earlier. it is interesting to see so many left-leaninging a position. i wonder what this means for the employees who work in these companies. who mayly for those have more conservative views. i wonder if those people are feeling a little left out right now. as well as what are the implications for those speaking out against their politics. >> we speak out about things with our employees that affect those that we serve. we are not a political company or organization. we do have values and american values, this is one of them. we are a company made up of people who have immigrated here. in there minorities company. we have nearly 400 employees that are from out of the country. we are creating jobs. a left orink this is a right issue. as i sa

s and what does it mean -- if he does, what do you think that means in terms of the [indiscernible] rep. pelosi: we put the issue of c.s.r.'s on the table because it is essential to the well-being of the american people that the c.s.r.'s be funded. we didn't have any commitment back from the president on that, but we had an opportunity to convey how important it was to do that. quite frankly i believe it's in the president's interest to do it and to fund it and then when we had this discussion, a while back on this subject. and when we do finally, omnibus if we arrive at an agreement, that it would include language that clarifies that congress has a role in doing this, which some of you know that is part of the court case -- the uncertainty in the courts of clarifying within the law and ta enables the president not to do this every month. but should he come up with his own health care proposal to -- it would be easier for him to do that. reporter: when you say down the road on the pathway to citizenship, does that mean not in this current daca bill? ms. pelosi: it's in the daca bill. th

the chair: how much time does the gentleman yield? how much time does the gentleman yield? mr. yoho: two minutes. how much time do we have, mr. speaker? the chair: 2 1/2 minutes. mr. yoho: two minutes. mr. lamborn: i rise in support of congresswoman ros-lehtinen's amendment. and i appreciate my friend ted yoho of florida. this would prevent funds to contribute trams that single our our ally, the state of israel, for poor treatment. there are numerous issues with these agencies, but as for unrwa, the size of the agency is an underlying problem. unrwa addressed the short term needs of refugees but it has per pet lated the problem -- per pet lated the problem. compared to the u.n. high commission for refugees staff of 7,700 in 2013, which provides support for 42.9 million ref jees in more than 100 countries. so the proportion is just way out of scale when you compare those kinds of agencies. unrwa is out of control. their grounds have been used to store rockets. israel has been fired upon from unrwa facilities and unrwa has employed individuals affiliated with hamas, a designated

eric: i think it does.re have been a lot of talk -- positives with the german election, there has been a tail geopolitical risk in europe. italy isn't really growing. a stronger euro does not help italy. there's a lot of debt and -- because of -- in contained spreads because of ecb purchases. the debt trajectory is sustainable now. but if markets normalize, it really is not. that would be an issue in europe. just like markets over concerned with populism last year, markets might be getting overly optimistic this year. robert: it is a little, look at -- complicated that if you look at it between the u.s. and europe, when they created the euro out of nothing, they created the tremendous fiscal process that they immediately violated. what has happened with the fight -- financial crisis and euro crisis is they have really regrouped. at first they wanted to drive the private sector involvement, and that was obviously a disaster. instead they tightened the fiscal restraints and the approval process. they began to

so, that does matter. again, they're probably happier with euro-sterling here than when it looks like it was headed to parity. francine: i have a great chart. trade weighted. we will get to that in the second. in the meantime, breaking news out of uber. the uber ceo will meet with transport for london next week. this time yesterday, on the back of the u.k. prime minister lashing out at uber operating in london. she was blaming the mayor for putting 40,000 jobs at risk. there's a petition signed. if you go to any bar in london they talk about uber. nejra: v volkswagen says will take an additional charge of 2.5 billion euros in the third quarter to buy back all retrofit tainted-- p arts in north america. thata mackers expects it will hit operating costs in the third quarter. it brings total damages from the diesel cheating scandal to over 25 billion euros. deutsche bank had its credit rate cut one level by fitch. wasgerman bank's grade reduced to bbb+. lenderays expects the will take some time to reach its e

how does that now play in? >> the sex stereotyping says that if you are a man attracted to men or a woman attracted to women, either way, you do not meet the stereotype that the employer has for how your gender should behave. in that case, you are being put into question, do i keep my job or do i have my choice of partner? >> but is it putting a disadvantage on one sex, either men or women, or is it putting a disadvantage on homosexuals? and if that is now the distinction, it is not men and women, it is homosexuals versus heterosexuals. >> it is putting a distinction on an individual basis because of sex. and when an individual is discriminated against because of sex, regardless of other people that might fit in that group, looking at the individual, that is discrimination. >> is it sex discrimination in your view if an employer fires cohabiting out of wedlock? >> yes, your honor. >> that would make this a very broad doctrine, wouldn't it? wedlockohabiting out of -- the text was not a factor. that would apply t

for what purpose does the gentleman rise? >> i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend and to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. shimkus: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i tries to honor angela mcqueen whose actions saved the lives of matune high school students after he fired in the cafeteria. he held the assailant on the ground until police arrived. angela has taught math and physical education for over a decade. she's an illinois native and graduated from marshall high school where she was a standout basketball player. she earned a bachelor's degree in math mountainics and physical education and her masters in education administration. angela became a teacher because she wanted a platform to be able to the world a better place. she's highly involved in the community and is a member of bionics. believe it or not, i care teachers prarges founded in 2014 and funded by the rotary club. she's also part of the school's grief support research team. i honor angela mcqueen's -- ation to her s

host: how much does a hand does this group have been affecting policy? guest: i think pretty significant. it is not just us lobbying to white house, it is the white house reaching out to us. this president and his administration, their leaders across the government have long-standing relationships with evangelical leaders. some people have known the president for 10 years, the vice president or 15 years, others brought in during the campaign, but what is unique is from the beginning, this group was all about the advice the president and those around him wanted from the evangelical immunity. that continues, where lots of us are asked questions about decisions we made. separate from that in our pastoral function, we have an active role in personally advising, not famous people, just regular everyday staff people. people who left their lives, put their kids in the new school and moved 1000 miles across the country and amidst the craziness of the environment now, are trying to get settled while having a demanding job. andre spiritual counselors frequently ha

so where does it all go from here. the pentagon asked this morning by reporters, will they be able to continue their relationship especially with the nfl as we saw over the weekend. there were honor guard, color guards, flags, military personnel on the football field. this is something that is part of that relationship of building community relations by the u.s. military. the pentagon, a little bit surprisingly, did come back to us with an answer on this question and i want to read it to everybody and what the pentagon spokesman said and i quote, dod does not require or request that athletes be on the field during the playing of the national anthem when military members are part of the patriotic opener. what the pentagon is saying this is something they really do not want to get involved in, they provide the color guards and they provide military personnel whether they're active duty and national guard. they build these relationships in the community because, frankly, a lot of this is a recruiting tool, showing the fac

how does this work? lisa: and how does this follow the mifid guidelines? provide it for free? i don't know how that works. but they will set an interesting model here. tom: can we go longer? andrew, i think this is absolutely critical. do you end up talking to only five big firms, or is this good for the boutiques? andrew: if you go back to why wasd ii is happening, it designed as an inducement to trade. i question whether the people that have that assumption have managed money before, because we don't trade unless we think we think we're going to make money for our clients because the performance pressure is such. i think you will just see higher quality research produced both internally and externally, and the weak hands will not be with us. tom: thank you so much, david riley, from london. he is an asset manager. there is much to talk about coming up. lisa, thank you for joining us. we never see each other. people think we do. we sort of like go down the hall. lisa: it is just sad. tom: it is just sad. from new york, that does it for us. we will see you

how does that work, what changed? >> is more about the president wanting to work with them and wanting to work this country forward. many times before, we have a very ambitious legislative agenda for this fall. the president wants to work with anybody who wants to work america forward. part of the conversation on tax cuts and tax reform, responsible immigration reform. do they view them as equal allies on the hill for getting things on par with mcconnell and ryan? >> the present is a republican. that is a cleaner matchup. if these people and individuals, to class or republicans want to to come together to push the clearly the american people want to see or they would not have elected donald trump. we are certainly happy to have that conversation and move that forward. out know the president came today but a lot of people believe that may not come to pass. anator alexander introduced bill in the stabilizing markets. could the president support a bill like that or does it have to be a full-scale repeal? what does the pr

as does big one. -- bitcoin. or does it become a payment mechanism?to start to see improvements in the size of the transactions? this is how much bitcoin is beating gold. what is interesting is talking about the flood of investors into this market, you are in for a roller coaster ride whether you hold the actual cryptocurrency or you gain exposure. check out my bloomberg at the moment. going into g#btv3994. what do you get? a crypto roller coaster. you see in the white line, bitcoin investment trust. this is where money managers have been pouring their money, who do not want to buy big point out they want exposure. on the bottom half, we see the 90 day volatility of that investment trust is more than three times the volatility of bitcoin. whether you want to be overall, it seems you are in for a rough ride, whether you have a cryptocurrency or investment trust. emily: if you look at the runoff -- run up in bitcoin, it is dwarfing the run-up before the tech bubble, the housing bubble, roger, is that a concern? roger: only if you are long on bitcoin. if

japan may be the worst, china does as well, south korea does, taiwan does. ,he problems that japan hasow china will have that in spades in 10 or 20 years. and without switching the competition, that will help the u.s. >> trade continues to thrive between japan and china. this is more of a political discussion we are having. richard: it is one reason i guess, japanese-chinese bilateral trades, one of the biggest trade relationships in the world -- not only that, it is investment. japanese car companies like u.s. car companies have an enormous in china and china represent the future for them. it is the same with the japanese the same with, new goods when they build factories in china. that is really the anchor of the relationship and one reason why for all of their attention, for all of the fact that their navies face-off in the east china sea every day or every month, the relationship has never gone off the rails. they are deeply pragmatic countries and i don't think they want to have a fight because it is our to damaging. -- it is far to damaging. >> is were a possibility in the future

how does that impact the policies?pect a certain professional behavior when we issue an insurance policy. there will be caveats around expected behavior. there might be such restrictions, and i'm not talking about any individual firm now, i am talking in general, individual restrictions on what mitigation they must take themselves in terms of employee training, firewalls, patching old software and things like that. as usual with insurance, we like to stipulate certain requirements. emily: it is a fairly small part of the market now. do you see this becoming as standard as general liability insurance? do you think it will always be a niche part of the market? >> i think it will become fairly standard. when we think of what technology is doing to all businesses, it is going to be one of the biggest risks businesses face. we look at the companies that make up the s&p 500. we look 40 years ago. 84% of the assets on the s&p 500 were tangible. they were physical assets. we understood physical buildings. now it is completely

the market does it well and does it best. however, it's not the role of the federal government tore mandate their use. mr. chairman, i'm not asking for less money or more money. i'm asking you to save money and save freedom for the american people and make sure their products get to their homes on time and get the federal government out of the way of one truck trying to pass another one, one doing 54 and another one doing 64 miles an hour for 20 miles up the highway. mr. price: i rise in opposition. the chair: the gentleman from north carolina is recognized for five minutes. mr. price: mr. chairman, the facts are pretty clear about this matter. thousands of people die on our highways each year because of speeding trucks. e technology is successfully deployed by many trucking companies across this country. we know high speeds of large trucks are a deadly combination. a 2012 study found that trucks without a speed limiting device had twice as many speed-related crashes as those who had a speed limiter installed. those are the f

where does this go from here? does the president back down? what does the nfl do next?d. >>> welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. thank you for sharing your day with us. the nfl and its players take an international stand and knee against president trump, responding in force to his labeling a few players, quote, sons of bitches for exercising their right to free speech. >> i know for a fact that i'm no son of a bitch, and i plan on continuing forward and doing whatever i can for my position to, y

does it add or strengthen the united states, or does it detract and weaken?say it detracts and weakens. 43% of republicans answered the same way. but a majority, 55% of true trump voters, say immigration detracts from and weakens the united states. another issue, gay marriage. 77% of democrats are in favor. 42% of republicans are, too. but only 31% of true trump voters agree. it's a big gap between the gop as a whole and the true trump voter. how about the news media? does the news media pay too little attention to the issues of working americans? 48% of democrats said that bothered them. 65% of republicans. among true trump voters, that number was an astounding 76%. finally, does it make you comfortable or uneasy that the nation is becoming more diverse and tolerant of different lifestyles? only 10% of democrats said they were uneasy. 44% of republicans said the same. but over half of true trump voters, 56%, answered the same way. so the true trump voter is starting to look like its own distinct arm of the republican party, if not quite a separate party in a

how does he spend that -- how does he spin facing that? how does the pay for that?nts to put the corporate tax rate down to 15%. people in the gop thinks it is more realistic to be 20%. how does he sell that? what does that, mean for your gdp forecast? talk a this political change it? peter: i don't want to repeat myself endlessly. if i don't get the traditional indicators for the u.s. economy, the growth is there, investment is there, and that is all good. the two things we have to watch out for is the current administration will be up to lift growth or are they not going to be up to do that and are they able to through some of these controversies dent economic activity maybe through the sentiment? neither of the two i currently see. for the time being, the best option we have is putting it to one side, looking at the economic in decatur and how it is going and making our forecast out of those. if anything changes between the political situation, then i think it is time to put them into account. for the time being, i think it is observed them -- it is time to obser

it does not surprise me that russia is toxic as for now but it does not have anything to do with realeal russia, . .. you it does not have anything to do with real russia,... you can't say that with a straight face. of course it has to do with the real russia. it has to do with the real russia. it has to do with the russia that meddled and interfered with the us presidential election which is now the subject of a host of different us investigations including a special counsel robert mallala. that is at the very heart of why russia is at the very heart of why russia is now toxic in the united states! —— mueller. is now toxic in the united states! -- mueller. this is the opinion of mrgraham and people -- mueller. this is the opinion of mr graham and people like him. funny, this is part of the domestic internal game between different political forces in the united states of america. the victory of mr trump has not been accepted via those who have been defeated —— accepted by. this is how they find different explanations to why and how they were defeated. russia was discovered as a very g

charlie: why does she leave?she has gotten into a spot where she is not sure what she wants and she has this strong suspicion the way she is walking through life is without any understanding of who she is as a person. so she thinks she needs to go find out who she is. charlie: her true identity? lucas: yeah. and i don't think -- she certainly does not think she can find that person if she stays in this house because she will just keep falling into patterns of behavior, so she needs literally a change of scenery. charlie: it begs an ageless question, who am i? lucas: yeah. the way the play articulates it, it talks about is a voice inside of your head. that voice is you, but you have all of these other voices colliding in on it. the voices of your parents, your husband, the people in your community telling you what you should be doing. and so, she has to stop hearing those voices of other people and hear really, if i am left to myself, what do i want for myself? charlie: is part of this play not only how they react

what does that mean? let's look beyond a hash tag and all of this at is about and what are these underlying questions. certainly when there is a dynamic there where you've got two kind of very large figures in their parties and there is -- using the rules as well as using the media around to have an oing inevitable story that comes out of this. students graph at a time to and that's what i like about the hash tag, even though it's simple it's a good place to start. a good place to start a dialogue. have never i thought would watch an event taking place on capitol hill, day and ng in the next say can we talk about this? i want to know what happened here. can you help me understand this. so they are even coming in with an attitude like i'm going to acknowledge that i don't know much. through this.e which i always appreciate. >> we, of course, remember where on 9/11, 2001. your students were either not infant at the time. so how do you teach post 9/11 politics and security issues to generation. >> it's reall

how does he deal with the military question? does he talk about different military options? south korea is a major part of the equation and we have tensions with south korea on trade. while the specifics matter, everyone really wants to hear, is this the same at president we heard in late january on the steps to the capital talking about marca first and how the country needs to pay attention to the u.s. for it pays attention to anyone else , or is he going to start to change the message? host: michael on the line for independents. caller: good morning. i have a few comments and concerns. we talk about immigration and daca and while it is important , iaddress these concerns wonder if our congressional representatives can try to listen to this problem. we always blame the people who are coming, but if you think and ifhy they are coming we aren't hiring them and the people who are hiring them are the reason why they want to be here. i am all about immigration reform and having more diverse people in the country, but i feel like why are they attacking the people who are coming h

he does not do it. foreign leaders hear him say this and they go he is not going to pull out of nato, he is not going to pull out of the run nuclear deal. and in congress, i think that is happening a little bit. congress didd -- something amazing. they passed the russia sanctions bill, 98-2. he did not want it. he issued a signing statement. he did not want more sanctions on russia. he wanted the opposite. he issued a statement about all the ways he disagreed with this bill. somebody asked "what do you think of the president signing statement?" he said "whatever." for the chairman to say whatever about the president of the united states and the way that mitch mcconnell reacted to his making attention of deal on daca , he just said we look forward 's seeing the president legislative proposals. as much as we are a test with him, people are starting to tune him out also. that is the point i am making. >> great point. all theo go through nixon tapes. the media always picks on his persian language, inflammat

mark zuckerberg should tell him it's not his concern what he does with his business and i pray he doesme. david: you don't want him to do anything. >> that's right. david: and e-mack, 45% of americans get their news from facebook. there is a kind of a public trust now that facebook has, right? >> no, i don't -- i agree with sabrina and rich. they're a private company. you know, they can get news elsewhere. i don't think that president should attack facebook like this this in this manner, but facebook should own up and say it's a media shop. david: steve. >> the law says one thing, if you get big and you're not treating people fairly. at&t before the 1980's went out of its way to make sure everyone was taken care of. facebook should follow that example or they're going to suffer political consequences, a fact of life. david: rich, only seconds. is that culture out in silicon valley ever going to change? >> it's one that the east coast doesn't understand. the most powerful capitalists, people who work the hardest in the country are out here, but they have different social views than cons

how does this matter for italy?ly now -- if europe was in disarray and they have italy on the brink they are a little , owned by what is going on there. right now, the rest of europe is doing great and italy is the odd man out. you are seeing polishes since -- you are seeing politicians step .ack from the rhetoric i think they will make their way through, although it is not a great-looking situation. jonathan: think about how tight things are right now. earlier this week blankfein came out and said he worries when corporate bond yields trade below dividend yields, take the -- look no further than europe. if you look at the dividend yield on the stoxx 600 on high-yield europe, is that a cause for concern? eric: i think if you think broadly about global central banks, why are they tightening? is inflation out of control? no. it's ok, but not great your it is financial stability. it is the frothiness in spread. whether it is u.s. high-yield or european high-yield, whatever credit market you're talking about, they're ge

david: she does not ask about ibm?ughter] ginni: her biggest thing -- this is a funny story about my mom. this past easter, she was at my house, and i was having to leave in the middle of the day to get to the airport. my mom says, "hey, before you leave, i have your annual report, and i have written you a little set of notes on it." i am like, "great, i'm even going to get a report card for my mother on this annual report." because the first thing, like a mom does, is she looks at the pictures. but my mom says, "look, i loved this annual report." she goes, "this annual report, i understand what ibm does." and it was 50 vignettes, 50 short little vignettes, about how the world and professions and industries have changed because of watson, ai, cloud computing, and how it will make life better. right? my mom goes, "this is -- now i understand." and she had comments about the look and the paper type and other things, so she gave me a report card. david: did you give any of these comments to your colleagues back at ibm? gi

he does not like that and does not -- and has good reason not to like about.the deal itself, the u.n. inspection body has not seen evidence iran is cheating. i cannot tell you what the president means. jonathan: this is where you began your diplomatic career. when you look at the situation politically, when the united states is using the rhetoric it currently is, is there a risk the united states moves away from a moderate like rouhani? we have revolutionary guards, who the so-called moderates are trying to finally bring under control. that is a good development. you have ayatollahs, who are hardline. there are a lot of different groups in iran. it is bubbling with energy. some of it is surprisingly democratic. if you kill the deal, i am sure you undermine the opportunity of the pragmatics through negotiated it. the risk is the hardliners come in and say there is no point in bothering to negotiate with the west as -- with something we regard as fundamental. same with kim jong-un, who says i need weapons, or else i am at risk from a regime change because americ

bush. >> there are is a military option but the first thing. >> what does that look like? >> i think it's clear particularly from military leaders that option will be extraordinarily costly something we have not witnessed perhaps since -- i mean in cost of lives and economic at dignity and costs in terms of environmental degradation. this is one of the reasons is so existential it involves a country that has weapons of mass destruction and a country that the question we been able to deter their use for many years with chemical and biological weapons but are they deterrable and also the longer military options is not necessarily defensive operations etc. but deterrence that would be put in effect. >> missile defense, shooting down one of their test. >> significant improvements in overhead coverage so we would not only have a warning that we would have the ability to respond. it would require the cooperation and collaboration with many countries in terms of proliferation but one of the dangers with the north floridians is not only that they have these weapons but they will f
