army bases in the south seem to be named for .enerals of the rebellion is this something that occurred after the nadir or was it before that. i. loewen: during the nadir think is what you meant. it is astounding white supremacy if you read what i read. 30% of the folks lifted -- listed in fort benning are probably african-american. those 30% or if i were a white person stationed at fort benning, i would have problems with that. in a couple of them, what terrible generals and they kept losing. i don't know why they were named for an enemy and incompetent. i think they need to be addressed. >> thank you. land that is the under both statues, be they public or private land, what are the basic real estate questions that need to be asked after if they are easements, who holds the title, who may have done the original funding, and are they atentially located on land state or federal landmarks? i think the answer is going --mr. brown: i think the answer is going to be there's a lot of different answers. it's a vastly decentralized process. mr. rawls: anyone else? mr. loewen: often, they were p

he is not part of trump's ener circle. wh what insurances are there, if he disagrees with the others who have no national security experience but the president has made clear will have big national security roles? >> because he put him in as the senior guy. you don't put someone in and don't have a lot of responsibility. he surrounded himself with generals for a reason. i think he has a lot of respect for the work that they've done. all three of these general who's are in major positions in the administration. i take issue, this is a dysfunctional. i don't think there's evidence that it is dysfunctional. this president is trying to take the country in a different course. i don't think it is a bad thing. i think general mcmaster would be a good steady hand to guide the process. >> what about the president out there, active duty. he says you will do it and he will do it. is it possible because of that obligation that he is not? >> i don't think so. we've seen that he has bucked the system. as kimberly noted, for not necessar

, people are really underestimating what you can do if you run the ftc, the fda, the nlr bchb, the ener protection agency which, honestly -- have you seen what these guys do? deregulate everything. remember when the army corps of engineers thought it was a bad idea? then like it's a good idea. this atlantic sunrise pipeline, let's jam that through. there are things that could be done. anyone who has ever worked at a bank, there are regulators and compliance people who like, listen, i'm going to get you. then the regulators and compliance people take long lunches. if it's okay. >> why? >> they'll take a long lunch. go take up your nine-hour lunch. they come in today. hey, i'm a regulator. i don't work today. >> why is energy down 3% year to date if you have a -- >> we have too much energy. >> energy positive president? >> too much energy. 300,000 barrels that we didn't think. u.s. is a swing producer. we're producing left and right. >> the count was up again last week, judge. >> yeah. >> 19 something like that. >> won't quit. >> these are bigger numbers as you get the possibility, also,

there is an interesting example of how these individual differences can be transmitted the next,eneration if you look at the female offspring of the nurturing mothers, they showed decreased lation in an estrogen gene. the female offspring of nurturing mothers actually than theeir pups more non-nurturing. this is with the epigenetic process. know in this particular case, and this takes us to a ed, this isken rais their reaction between the parent and the offspring. if, for example, we chronically stressed a nurturing mother during her pregnancy, then once she gives birth, she shows a lower level of licking of her differencect, no with the non-nurturing mother, and that offspring does not differ from the non-nurturing offspring in their stress reactivity, and so this tells us that it is the behavior of the parent that is actually transmitting effect of the social condition on to the offspring, which is directly talkingto what ken was about with respect to poverty. now, we started to look at this in human situations. postmortem human brains, and when we do, we find that individuals who were

ener accused of trying to create a home made bomb. you're looking at the makeshift lab the police discovered in southern france. tatp, the same substance in the deadly attacks in brussels and paris was one of the explosives they found. >> president trump is facing his new big foreign diplomacy challenge, spending much of today and tomorrow with japan's prime minister. earlier this morning, shinzo abe took in part of -- took part rather in a rewreath laying at arlington national cemetery. much of the focus will be on the trans pacific partnership and tr d pulling the u.s. out of. the two leaders will hold a joint press conference at 1:00 at the white house. you can watch that live on nbc 4 and on the nbc washington app. >>> the president is vowing to fight to restore his travel ban as news 4 reports, the legal showdown may take this case all the way to the supreme court. >> the ninth circuit court of appeals decision to uphold the ban on the temporary travel ban angered president donald trump. >> we have a situation where the security

when asked if he supports any provision on clean ener skwreurbg on clean air, he said he doesn't supportnything the epa has been doing. so this is a dangerous, dangerous nominee to head the epa. i fully support tom harper from delaware taking the committee members out of that in full p - prote protest. >> sandra: i go back to the question. why not show up? >> show up and vote no. you don't like the picks. you lost the election. phoeubg your voice heard. i love this idea that it's so dangerous to ruffle senate precedent by changing the rules. can we get harry reid on the line? this is the guy who pioneered a lot of this stuff. democrats escalate and go crazy when the same tactics are used against them. it's fair game. >> sandra: kevin, guy, thanks to both of you for being here. good to see you. breaking details ability a deadly hostage stand off at a preuzen in delaware. the latest from the scene. and how ofteners gained the upper hand after the 18-hour siege. plus, supreme court nominee neil gorsuch spending a second day on capitol hill, trying to win over support from key lawmakers. but

i reserve judgment to see how well this will -- how this will ener to the benefit of the administration until after we see what happens today in the east room and whether the president does indeed take questions. that's the first thing. the second thing is what questions does he take? the third thing is does he actually answer the questions? in particular, the question i think it was halle jackson who said earlier in the hour, the questions that she brought up and the questions that chuck todd brought up in terms of the time line, what did the president know about general flynn? and why did he keep him on if he knew what was going on? those are all very real questions that the president has to answer. if he doesn't answer them to the satisfaction of the maamerican people, people on capitol hill, and people in that room, the press, he could very well make a very bad situation even worse. >> we are looking at those front rows that were empty. that's not uncommon in a situation like this. often members of the cabinet or people who would be involved depending on what the issue is or the per

and overall takes the congressional review act and uses it as a bludgeon to keep generations and enerations in those areas at risk in the health, the water, and general environment in the area. the issue of cost is an issue that comes up. the loss of jobs has been the creation of competition. not because of any proposed rule. and second of all, when we were dealing with the horrors of black lung, dealing with issues of mine safety for coal miners, and the struggles that their unions had to go through to get mine safety and health care protection for their workers, those at the time i'm sure were considered cost factors on why not to do t the cost factor here is about human life. it is about protection of water. and i would suggest that that should be the priority of this congress and not embolding or enriching the mine operators and their profit line. with that, mr. speaker, i need to reserve. we have additional speaker that showed up and that would be the close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from utah reserves. the gentleman from arizona is recognized. mr.

dan: the other idea is higher economic growth that will .enerate revenues the border adjustment tax iseen as an important part of the paying for it. you have to get the money from somewhere. you have to reduce detections, such as the interest rate deduction? dan: everything will be on the table. the tax is complicated because there are winners and losers. the borderaunt adjustment tax. when companies focus on which adjustments get eliminated. dan: lowering the corporate tax would be stimulating to the economy and get us to be more competitive with other countries. in the room, vibe it is not a scientific way of asking, but 51 percent of companies say they are more optimistic. did you see that in the room? .an: i could feel it there was a lot of give and take. you had the ceos of the companies with an opportunity for everyone to say what was on their mind. this tax and the regulation question, two of the things that are driving the optimism. david: growth. listed, infrastructure, deregulation, taxes, what is the biggest driver of growth? dan: tax looms large, but deregulation. it is rat

what is your take on this eneral wilson? does the air force support the third party? >> i haven't seen the specifics back on how -- what the exact -- how we'll do that. have a team in the pentagon who are working that with. the third party finance folks to see how we bring that forward. whether it be new radars or equipment on it, our f-15s are going to reach a point in the future where structurally it's going to cost too much to maintain and we're looking for options to see how do we maintain or what are some other options to ensure we have the capacity of our fourth generation fighter fleet going forward. >> i'm afraid if we don't do something we have this critical gap. and we all know the active guard reserve everybody depends on this f-15 aircraft as a strike fighter. yield back. far exceeds the cold war average adjusted for inflation. assuming no return to sequestration as occurred in the budget guin now exceeds $100 billion. the procurement holiday of the 9 0s and early 2000s is over. you're making statements about readiness. but suggest that is we have enough m

seeing companies opening up factories in america, we are seeing them keep jobs at home. , fiat,eneraly more already. they are bringing thousands of jobs back in our country, because the business climate they know has already changed. in arizona and intel announced it would open a new plant that would create 10,000 american jobs. we will see more and more of that across the country as we continue to work on reducing regulation, cutting taxes, including for the middle class, including for everyone, and including for business. and creating a level playing field for our workers. when there is a level playing workers willan always, always, always win. but we don't have a level playing field. pretty shortly you will have in that have a level playing field again. when american workers win, america as a country wins. that is my message. america is going to start winning again. winning like never before. we are not going to let our country be taken advantage of anymore, in any way shape or form. and we are going to protect america. we are going to fight for our jobs, we are going to fight for
