that is fine as long as you do not do anything i do not like. that is the great thing about the american system. my bottom line is i think we're bringing a constructive debate. our side of a constructive debate. the white house and trade office has been thoughtful and listening to what we had to say. we do not have to agree all the time. let's hope that this week, we finish the nafta deal. then you have a month to write down what everybody said. you have to and negotiate it all over again. that is the history of how you do this. i am very impressed by the economic things that have been achieved in this country. i just do not want to strangle some of the benefits of the tax and regulatory changes. by the way we tried to do the trade fix, not by what we are trying to do. >> i understand your perspective. i am curious. normally you would put on $50 billion worth of tariffs. you would then have a negotiation stealthy figure out of resolution. then you have another set of negotiations. now they are piling it on and there is no negotiation. how do you

what do you have to do if you're ab overseer? what are you expected to do? >> you have to discipline them. what is the discipline? what is the most he greejis form? whipping them. yes. so read this book and it's interesting. and uncle tom, he's a calm, submissive and overseer it's difficult here the internal struggle knowing he has to whip a fellow slave. just read you a passage that is a spoiler alert. i think it's a powerful moment in the book. she spends time developing his character. you there is an overseer. he wants to promote tom. wants to make him a driver. another you've mix for a overseer. what do you want tom to do? he wants to have him whip another slave. this is what tom says. i bigg beg master's pardon. it's what i ain't used to, never did and can't do. no way possible. he is saying i can't do this. i can't whip someone else. and lagree responds. we've got jesus, and uncle tom and the devil in this lagre, responding you learn a pretty smart chance of what you did know. he struck tom a heavy blow across the cheek. and followed up with an inflick

>> how do you know? >> did he do it on a whim? it was reported as -- you and i have been friends. >> do you have the facts on that to support that? >> well, okay, it's been reported. >> yeah. >> has rod rosenstein testified to that, that he was -- no. let's go back -- >> you're talking about the massaging. why did he write the letter, jay? >> i assume he wrote the letter because he thought that james comey should not be the fbi director. >> who told him to make the assessment? >> do you think -- who do you know who told him? >> i heard somebody had to tell him because he wouldn't have just done it on his own. he came in to be the deputy acting and the first thing he decides to do is write a letter about how jim comey has to go with the fbi? nobody asked him to do it? >> here's the problem. you're making a factual assumption you have no basis to -- >> that's not true, i do have basis. >> has rod rosenstein testified he did this because the president ordered him which is what you said basically? he has not testified to that. >> let'

what do we do in the federal government is not doing what it could be doing? >> it's a challenging time and no way to sugarcoat it. no one thought we would be here on the point of all the current education officials tried to undo the things we did, whether it rolling back the rights have young people are colleges to do what they want to take advantage of vulnerable folks. you sort of give up and get frustrated or uber carter. what you see lots do is work harder and work locally just because the federal government gives more permission for profit to do universities while you don't have to think about affirmative action or diversifying your population. that is the main universities have to do that. universities are the vast overwhelming majority are continuing to do the right thing. we just continue to work hard, make a difference and challenge and let our voices be heard in part of the impetus is to get him thought out there. for me, i didn't think we would be here, but i'm more motivated than ever to try and make a difference. you can do that in your neighborh

and they may, how do we go active guard reserve makes it easy to do that?ow can they take the rear mission, spend time with us and go to something else and come back into her company? all those ideas are things were looking at as we will focus on management of our people. >> thank you, sir. >> this, we look at at&t and the evolution of what we need to do in terms of the skills we are going to need in the next five years are quite different than the skills we have today. the only thing i look at because we do a lot of the same things. we'll all be competing for the same talent. so a big part of our effort is on skills development. now taking the talent that we have and evolving into those roles of the future. we've done that as granular, as mapping every single role in the company in terms of what we have today and what is the demand for tomorrow. we know for every wall that we have, which ones will be in the clinton which ones will be in demand and then how do we have all that and that? he we think in terms of particularly some of these elite skills that su

it but we do now. we are doing very well in our situation with china on trade. i have a great relationship with the president of china. street -- bea to e a two way street. four years, it was not. trillions of dollars was taken out of the united states for the benefit of china. we cannot have that. we have to make it fair. now inat $250 billion terrace and a lot of money is coming into our coffers. it has had no impact on our -- absolutely no impact on our economy. like i said it would not. steel is the hottest industry there is. we are charging a 25% tariff for the dumpers. they dump the steel and what the steel companies out of business. after they are out of business, they will come in and charge five times more. we need steel and aluminum and those industries are doing well. steel is incredible. u.s. steel is opening a minimum of eight plants. these are big plants. $750 million plants. is happening with the steel industry is exciting. it is being rebuilt overnight. if you look at the minors and coal, looking at energy, lng, japan just give us numbers that ar

possibly do?> it's a little bit of both i think the crisis continues to hauntvirtually anybody who participated and was in the midst of it. it's something they think about religiously and regularly. i was with a group of them yesterday -- brookings is putting on a two-day symposium with virtually every policymaker that ever was in the midst of this ten years ago, it's almost like a reunion you can tell this is something they thought a lot about over the past ten years most of them look back at the policy steps that were taken and say, you know what if you asked me ten years ago whether the economy would be at 3.9% unemployment and doing as well as it's doing today and that the t.a.r.p. money have been paid back, i don't think they would have believed you ten years ago. on that score, just the math, the economics of it, they're pretty happy with where things landed the political issues, the populism, the culture, the divide in the country, some of that stemming from the crisis is something they thi

they say, hey, here's what they're going to do, and then they do it. >> how much impact do you think the russian involvement, russian involvement had on the 2016 elections? >> my understanding is that the effect was substantial, but i'm going to wait for more til i read that excerpt from that jane mayer argue that just appeared in the new yorker which i have sitting on my phone. so my understanding, after a lot of reading and talking to people in the appropriate community, that the effect was substantial. but i don't feel right saying more without reading what appears to be definitive information. >> do you think there should be an open source social media platform? >> boy, i don't know if there's a need for that. just reflexively almost i support -- [laughter] i support open source almost automatically. the idea is some people have tried to do that. i think one of them recently shut down because of lack of interest. i do think as more and more of the ethics of running social media platforms and more and more of that is explored, i think things are going to get better for all of us.

what do you have to do if you are an overseer? what do you have to do? what is expected of you to do if slaves are unruly? >> discipline. >> you have to discipline. what is one of the most egregious forms of discipline. >> whipping. >> if you read this book, harriet beecher stowe was a protestant, christian woman. she has this archetype where uncle tom is an archetype of jesus. he is this calm, submissive, and kindly figure. now they want to make him an overseer. you can imagine for a moment the internal struggle tom is going to have knowing he will have to whip a fellow slave. anyway, just read you a passage. it is a spoiler alert. i think it is a powerful moment in the book. she spends a lot of time developing his character. where you come to identify with uncle tom. you like him. he is a likable figure. he does what he is told, including taking instructions from his master without sarcasm or pushing back. there is this overseer named simon, you don't need to know the name, but i want to share this with you. this white overseer named simon who wants to

we do have signals that do that. we are identifying those and asking ourselves whether that is still true and still correct today. >> i am just going to end with my final minute to talk about industry standards. i think -- i think my colleague a crossecause this is that technological you are not the only one trying to address these type of concerns. many industries have banded together to have industry standards by which they can comply and also help self correct. i would encourage the tech sector to start looking at that motto. there is a lot of them out there. i was fortunate to get this book in one of my visits to tech world. mention fairness, reliability, privacy, inclusion, transparency and accountability as standards that should go across the platform. we need to get their for the use of the platforms and trust. i yield back. >> chair recognizes gentleman from texas for questioning. >> thank you, mr. chairman. for being, thank you here. i am pleased twitter is taking steps to improve the experience on its platf

it is reasonable to do that. we will do that as soon as possible. got in the mail last night over the prospect of how and when. we will decide on that today. economist at the usda have been releasing other studies. behind therationales trade mitigation payment is that the farm economy is struggling because of tariffs. when you look at analysis from the usda, it seems like the farm economy is reasonably adjusting to this. was raised last week for 2018, slightly above where incomes were in 2016. exportst forecast for for 2019 was released last week and showed an increase in exports. none of this is factoring and trade mitigation payments. are looking at relieving farmers who are struggling and used the data coming out saying, the farm economy and trade market seems to be adjusting on its own. does that in any way we can your case for the payments or give fuel to people who are wondering why we are entering farm bailouts? sonny perdue: you did a great job exhibiting the components of your question. i could go through the whole report. increaseapitalist

it is like, where do you go? look at what joe biden said. they do not do this. he said that clearly. so i think when you really look at it all, it is not going to minds.democrats they are obstructionists. they are con artists. they have destroyed this man's reputation and they want to do it even more. what they have done to his children, his beautiful children, and what they have done to his wife. it is a con job. they go into a room and i guarantee you, they laugh like hell at what they have pulled off on you and the public. they laugh like hell. so it doesn't matter if the fbi came back with the cleanest score. if they would have come back with the most perfect, we found he is perfectly innocent of everything. it would not have made a difference. but we will get votes from the democrats if we win. you will have three, 4, 5 democrats because they are in states that i won by 40 points and they will give us votes. >> mr. president, there are now three women accusing judge kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. are you saying that all three of them are liars? is there an

i do.the to say two quick things before you go, one is that we are in new york right now about to try to elect a new governor. no, sorry. elect a governor. so you know there's a prime coming up on 17th and we countrily have a guy in office and they'll choose whether he'll stay there or not but in meantime he has enormous power to be able to grant clemency to free people from prison. and he is not using that authority, he has commuted 12 sentences in eight years. he has given about 160 partens that's ridiculous. there are 51,000 people in currently incarcerated in the state. that could be freed by him tomorrow if he wanted to do that. that's how much the clemency power he has. you know can actually be used to good ends. so we -- survived punish new york are pushing for him to release all criminalize survivor and pushing him to do actually much more in terms of releasing aging prisoners or that are currently locked up in prisons that are in there 25, 35, 45 years are now in their 70s. and are

we will do that with a focus on the aoc, the future, what we need have to be able to do those, to dose things. and also where the error component to transcom so how do we better approve those processes and move it to the speed to being able to support the war fighter. thank you. >> one for general holmes again. is the wing organization experiment at mountain home going to be spread to the rest of the air force? >> i think that will be up to the rest of the air force, chief, and we'll see how it goes. i think so far the feedback from the experiment has been good. what we did at mountain home is when looked to streamline a command-and-control structure, flatten it to separate line duties from staff duties and move some of the things we ask squadrons to do that are both staff functions for the wing and raise those up like you would see at headquarters to allow squadron commanders to focus on the role and to work more closely together. i took the first report which ii will for to sink in the first quarterly report on how they're doing. we'll put in metrics against that and measure their

you do i mean yeah i mean. you don't. want to do long division ip. in paris on february the ninth twenty fourteen at the lug serious bristol hotel patrick crone meets the general electric see this is the first encounter the first face to face meeting between the two men chronos temps above all he wants to sell for the company he hopes to free both and himself from the clutches of the american justice system therefore places a condition on the sale general a big trick. any fine for. the general electric c.e.o. accept and commits to the condition having killed two birds with one stone patrick . and its economic and legal difficulties are evaporating into the american sky perhaps the department of justice will even defer the payment of the five patrick crown this is the exact moment when irrevocably became america. yes is he a genetically to be a that. and also. so you could call it the hoshi deval of the elite people to get it. into a fancy just kind of a new if you heath ask you know you know mom didn't have boarded up bodies are doing to me if only t

do you see that a lot? >> we do. we do. when it comes to competition, it's just not true that any company exists in a world where there's no competition. that indicates to us, if you say that, you haven't spent enough time thinking about your market, you haven't spent enough time researching who else is out there. i think entrepreneurs can take that point and turn it around to show how thoughtful they have been building the business and talking intelligently about competitors and telling why your company is going to do better. it gives us confidence that you have spent time. >> almost the easiest way to sell your business, right? say here is what's out here. here is the problem they are not addressing and why we are going to. >> right. >> absolutely. >> great to pick your brains since you see so many companies. some very successful ones. thank you for stopping by. >> thanks for having us. >>> a lot of dog owners consider their pets part of the family and they send those furry friends to get pampered, just like people or bet

do you know anything about that? and can you talk to me about that >> i do. and what that was was, i think, a bad policy that's been changed, but it was not saying that black children -- it was saying that children, it was saying that different groups weren't looked at the same way and we fixed it. >> but isn't that the concern with hate period that not everyone is looked at the same way >> well, hate speech is against our policies and we take strong measures to take it down we also published publicly what our hate speech standards are. we care tremendously about civil rights we have worked very closely with civil rights groups to find hate speech on our platform and take it down. >> so when did you address that policy i'm glad to hear you have. when did you address it? >> that policy was badly written, bad example and not the real policy. >> so the report that i'm aware of was from june of 2017 that was the policy changed after that report or before that report from pro publica? >> i can get back to you on the specifics of that. >> you don't remember when it

we all have to do what we can do in our lane.his is not going away, so it is a hopeful time for me. seabrook: some of what i had while was taken, but there have been companies who have responded to this moment and perhaps changed policies or practices, what we haven't seen is really leadership. company,tion, a leaders saying enough, that i am not going to tolerate this in my workplace. going to encourage and create a community of respect and dignity and equity for my work horse and that is -- workforce and that is important to me. what we try to do at workplaces is move employers to recognize that investing in prevention, true prevention, not the one off doinings i used to be -- to on the management side that investing in true prevention will actually reduce liability. whereng a workplace workers are empowered to speak up, that they know there is accountability, and they know leadership cares and will enforce those standards is really what we need. very much.u so at this time, we will turn to miss comstock of virginia. five minut

it didn't do anything we need it to do. frankly, even now, the only reason i can come up with for doing such a stupid thing -- when i talked to i.t. people about this, they rolled their eyes. the only reason i can come up all is that it preserved the program managers authorities. the exacting -- existing managers could keep their domain , increase their money. >> this is about bureaucratic kingdom protection, that kind of thing. >> one thing here. that working one program was basically automating an entire section of nsa. i was replacing people entirely. the program managers who were working in the area where i was going to replace the mall said, my programconnect and make it dependent on their programs. what they did was put my program underneath theirs. i then started secretly doing it. i did it separately from them totally. i got third-party agreements, other countries to agree to work with me. i did that separate from this entire group. >> i want to make sure i understand what i just heard. you were effectively conducti

how do they do that? the point of the fisa act was to provide a legal vehicle for the fbi to monitor our enemies are those we have suspicions about, legally. the foreign intelligence surveillance act, the information from that was never to be used in court. you monitor a particular embassy, you get this information and it is passed to the decision-makers. they get that information. this has been going on for 40 years. it is never meant to be used in a court of law, information from the fisa act, it is not originally intended for that purpose. it also, under george webster, who became the director of the fbi in 1978 and then became the director of the cia, it was never intended to monitor americans. if you suspected an american of being an agent of a foreign power, the appropriate way to monitor that american is using the espionage act, which is a criminal statute under title 18. the fisa act is under title 50. two completely different things. if you suspect an american, you start an espionage case on them

how do you respond to that? do you think he is a lovely man? how do you respond t those kinds of person to person reach outs? >> translator: in any way, for me what is of importance is the leaders of the two countries are seeking mutual interests. and have a dialogue and take subsequent steps which ultimately can lead to the tundoing of the knots tave existed and the difficulties that have existed in the relationship betwe the two untries during the last four decades. everything else is just playing with words n and will get us to any solutions or any destinations. >> what will bring you back to negotiating with the united states? i'm saying that because the u.s. says we need to renegotiate, we need to open the iran nuclear deal, known as the jpcoa. mr. trump, mr. pompeo, have said, we do want to negotiate with the iranians. iran has to change i behavior. what do you say tothat? >> translator: well, you see, after many years of negotiations and dialogue, aonsensus was reached, an agreement was reached between the seven countries. and it was agr

( laughter ) "where do i live?! what are my children doing?! where do they live?!" so, there was a time when you would be driving to work, listening to just radio, that was all that was available, maybe you're eating some trail mix, maybe you're chewing on a peanut, and your brain just all of a sudden goes, "ah, who's that guy that discovered peanut oil? who's that peanut butter-- peanut-- peanut oil guy? we learned about him in elementary school-- three names, and damn it, what was his name? and that was sort of your day, you know? ( laughter ) you'd go to work and stuff, but every couple of hours you'll be like, "aaahhh, peanut guy! i can't remember his name!" ( laughter ) and there was nothing you could do! you maybe ask a friend at work, "dude, peanut guy. he invented peanut oil, three names, do you remember who he is?" and the guy would be like, "i don't remember. why are you so worked up about it?" "because i can't remember!" ( laughter ) then maybe you go to lunch from work, eat a sandwich-- that's all you can do, eat a sandwich, watch other people eat a sand

do you believe congress should do the same thing? that is congress should condition hunting on universities complying with first amendment principles? sen. alexander: no, i don't. how would you do that? someone will have to write a definition of free speech. i suppose congress could, by sense of the senate resolution adoptee chicago principles come up with the next congress might adopt another set of principles. if you pass a law, then you get regulations. i don't think congress should do that. anotherwhat would be thing that would be more effective of it than the things i've described would be for consumers to get active. within the last two or three weeks, to national publications came out with 100 best colleges and universities. the wall street journal had 300 of them rated. all of the colleges and universities reject to the rating. but every single one of them brags about it when they are on the list. report were a consumer that was bipartisan, independent, well respected that ranked the 100 best colleges in terms of free speech

what do you do now afterwards?the large majority of the ships, for example, have already returned. we do have two ships literally 10 miles off the coast of wilmington area, the kerr sage and arlington with about 2400 marines and sailors postured to respond at a moment's notice. they are flying mv 22,s hh 60s as a response. if we end one a bad situation, a catastrophic situation with regard to the rising floo floodwaters, they ae right there ready to respond. they were loaded out with exactly the equipment that we need to respond thanks to the state being able to identify that ahead of time before they actually left the norfolk area. >> neil: general, i know have you had very, very little sleep if any. thank you for taking the time to update us and talk to us. >> general terrence o'shaughnessy in charge of the situation making sure the military is on top of helping us out and helping the folks affected out. you would think with the prospects of a worsening trade war and open-ended supreme court judge pick that the m

what do you do it?” am intrigued to know why painting? why art? what do you do it? had a kind of talent, that is one part, the other part is a hard life that made me kind of lonely and... loneliness gives you time for yourself to work on your talent so i was yourself to work on your talent so i wa5 painting when i was five, six years wa5 painting when i was five, six yea r5 old and wa5 painting when i was five, six years old and could not leave the paintand paperand years old and could not leave the paint and paper and so on. also, i am intrigued by the timing. you were born one year before the creation of the state of israel which, of course, had a huge impact on the lives of all palestinians and then, through your adolescence and early adulthood, it is an experience in the run—up to the 67 war and then the run—up to the 67 war and then the occupation by the israeli military of east the occupation by the israeli military of ea5tjerusalem and the west ba n k military of ea5tjerusalem and the west bank and, of course east jerusalem is where you were leaving. what imp

we are doing things we didn't plan on doing. we are not enthused about doing them, but we will go do. >> admiral rogers, you dissented from the dissenters. >> that is not what i would say. >> do you agree with this sentiment? >> let me walk you through my thought process. first, as you heard, i am newly retired. i am 100 some odd days into the new life. as this was unfolding, i was struck by a couple of things. first, i agree with the fundamental premise that it is the right of every citizen to express their views. i have spent my professional life making sure that right remains. i truly believes that is one of our strengths. two things that gave me pause. the first, one things i have been a part of have always remembered, it is about the outcomes. i said to myself, is this going to be effective? i thought, a group of former senior intelligence officials being -- officials complaining about how another official is being treated, i'm not sure that is the best way to address a valid concern. i applaud admiral mcraven, for example.

have to start doing their job and doing it rightnd doing it now.sident trump facingmo ting legal changes rallies his supporters and says he is frustrated with his attndney generalhe head of the b.i. president trump: i want them to do their job. il get in there if have to. robert: in rapid fire tweets and interviews, the president lashed out at other targets this week, ahead of a potentially stormy season in his presidency. called the russia probe illegal.

we can afford to do what we are doing. it is not like we are exhausted like great britain was after world war i or world war ii. it is not like we are coming apart like the soviet union at the end of the cold war. we have essentially chosen not to do this anymore. the word i like to use, i'm sorry to say, is abdication. what we have is the united states seeming to essentially have chosen to abdicate its role of international leadership and no longer buys into the benefits of free trade. it questions alliances, it questions multilateral efforts to deal with issues like climate change. what is not clear to me, is what we are prepared to put in its place. what you have is the united states, particularly in administration, that seems to reject our traditional -- what is the alternative put forward because i do not think there is serious unilateral options and i don't think the world will self organize. and as a result, i think we are entering a period of considerable unknowns in how all of this will play out. again, i come bac

do you think it will do anything to derail his nomination, his confirmation?edy: i'm fairly confident that our founding fathers did not intend the process to work this way. so far it's pretty much been an intergalactic freak show. senator grassley, our chairman, did the best he could at the hearing. senators kept interrupting him. they ignored the rules. we had over 240 protesters who stood up screaming. the only thing missing i think was the headgear. there were wild accusations about cavanaugh that he's evil and hates women, he hates children. he hates little warm puppies. and now we have this recent allegation by senator feinstein. here's what we know. she's produced a letter, it's a secret letter and we are not entitled to see it or know who wrote it. it supposedly was put together with the help of stanford law school. it says the 35 years ago when she was a teenager and judge kavanaugh was a teenager he allegedly made sexual advances against her at a party. cavanaugh denies it. if the only other person in the room denies it. senator feinstein has had the

we do not do a great job of giving them the best tools in context to do that work. we think there is improvements we can make to amplify their content and messaging so people can see what is happening with that context. sen. king: if that can be amplified and underlined, it can become self-healing whereby the immediately response to false or misleading information. i will not spend a lot of time on except to say that many of us believe that one of the great gaps in our defenses against election interference and interference in our democracy is the fact that our adversaries feel no pain if they do so. that we have to develop a doctrine of cyber deterrence, just as we have military deterrence doctrines. that is a gap and something we are working on here and armed services. let me talk about the technical for a minute. how about feedback from users? ms. sandberg, you said you have third-party fact checkers. would it be useful to have more the ebay sellers, you have ratings, stars, is there more you can do will are people as the validity and trustworthiness of what they

do and the senate judiciary committee want to do is fine with him. it sounds like the president is on board with him. we have that caveat that you never know what's happening with president trump, he would tweet something at 6:00 in the morning saying he wants that vote. moments after jeff flake did what he did, the president of the united states who put brett kavanaugh forward is saying he's open to a delay. >> that was very dramatic indeed. chris coons has been speaking, the senator from delaware. i want to listen in briefly. >> any questions? >> reporter: what happens if the fbi investigation is not -- [ inaudible ]. what will happen, based on your conversation with senator flake, what will happen at that point? >> here's what i can commit to. i don't control the fbi or whether or not other allegations i will say and am saying now i am deeply grateful to senator flake and others who i believe will join him in saying they are not comfortable in proceeding to a final vote on judge kavanaugh's nomination without a short additional period of investiga
