in his defence, he says, iam et cetera.ating all sorts of people all the time from all sorts of different areas of political ideology. first and foremost, markers or burgers the ceo of a very large and very influential organisation. —— zuckerberg. that is not the story. that is not news. no, but the story is the fact that this is obviously a social media platform, people have used it and it is whether or not those views are coming onto the social media platform, in the end it is all about facebook‘s reputation, which has become a little tarnished since the cambridge analytic scandal and data being sold —— analytica. it will affect a crypto currency as well. this is a story about reputation. and it won't go away. it is about trust as well. we trust facebook and going ahead with libra? do we trust them with spending? we haven't got time to talk about it but we will talk about it another time. air pollution takes a decade off memory, study suggests. you live by the ocean on the south coast. you track into london in the early h

it's got a military background, et cetera, et cetera, and it's everywhere in the world now, so there's a great deal of interest and concern about it. but to back up again looking at facts on the ground, it's very interesting to me to see that the party is still doing a fairly light handed approach to the private sector, you know, as chung mentioned they realize as the economy slows, china really needs the private sector. they're the main source of gdp growth, of job creation of innovation. and we've heard stories, for example, that, you know, the party state has to negotiate with the big tech companies to get access to their data, you know. how much, how often, and what form, et cetera, which is very similar to say, uber negotiating with new york city before it went in in terms of what data they would have to turn over to the state as well. if you look at the party regulations and policies, they do treat the private companies different from say a state-owned enterprise. so, for example, in the state owned enterprises there were logged news reports a couple of years ago about this new r

this is very controversial, et cetera. immigrants pay taxes. all immigrants pay taxes, whether you're documented or undocumented. immigrants pay for a public schools. they help contribute our society just like anybody else. if the building or can get away with not paying their taxes in reaping from public systems, and i think undocumented people should be recognized for the contribution to society ased we. [applause] we can go on. as i said, we set a just society is merciful and that's where the mercy of reentry act comes into play. what the mercy and reentry act does is so often someone becomes incarcerated. a lot of times for unjust reasons as we've seen the war on drugs, where people get incarcerated for ten, 15 years of selling something people are now making millions selling in california, colorado, et cetera. once you get out there are a lot of federal programs with its medicare, medicaid, et cetera, where you get caught up in the system and you either outright denied or discriminate against because you already paid your debt to society,

people going to er rooms, prisons, et cetera, et cetera we need to keep as few bears as possible so more people can be on medicaid that needed that are qualified for medicaid without the berries can absolute be 100%. >> thank you. i appreciate responsible for the. i would just close with this. that imposition of work requirements and state medicaid programs will have a chilling effect on access to treatment. this hearing underscores the absolute ludicrousness, if that's a word, at the hardiness of far too many people into spot in the trump administration who are trying to repeal the affordable care act. they couldn't do it here. they tried very hard. they couldn't do it here. they want to do it through the courts, and it's hardhearted. it's stupid and it will mean a lot more people die with this assault on the affordable care act. my state 900,000 people have insurance that didn't have before the affordable care act if we know what it means to young people when the parents planted we know what it means for the expansion. we have republican governor ohio who should more courage than most

and african immigrants et cetera. and we kick the can on issues of economic justice as well, voting reform et cetera. all of a sudden it's controversial to talk about these things. and so i understand and empathize with that too. people are saying, we vote for the democratic party, why doesn't the democratic party vote forge us. why don't we sent our concerns. and that is why i get into trouble. [laughter] that is why people say, she is a lightning rod on the left in a writing log on the right, one of the reasons why we have controversial within the party, because we will say why do we have to wait forec these things over and over and over again. and james bollen has an epic clip where he's interviewed and says, my parents and my family were born waiting for our rights and they have died waiting for our rights. and so how long do you want me too wait. >> exactly. >> and that is a very core part of the questions we are dealing with today. and i emphasize as well. my family is from puerto rico. myil grandfather was born

is it a credible story, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. but to your point, everything that seems to have come out in the interim has been confirmation of what the whistle-blower first put in the complaint and was then evidenced in that quote, unquote, transcript of the july 25th telephone call. my point is everyone seems to be saying the same thing. which is why a few days ago i said to both you and to john, it seems not so much like a factual dispute. i'd be shocked if we were to learn that ambassador taylor came in and said something different than his text. what is the white house defense to all this? and the closest i can discern is mick mulvaney saying get over it. >> right. right. nothing that mick mulvaney said actually disputed that bill taylor text message. bill taylor's text message was concerned about investigations. in this case it could be investigating the ties to ukraine, stuff about the server. that tied to the meeting between the two presidents, bill taylor was concerned about that. mick mulvaney last week said get over it

the crisis on the board, an exhausted military still fighting the longest war in afghanistan,est, et cetera. congress should be worried about that, but they're distracted by this ukrainian problem. in one issue, they're in virtual, total agreement. last wednesday, the seam day the house was convulsed in the impeachmentns debate, they came together in a rare moment of bipartisan agreement to pass so the called safe banking act. safe for whom? weed dealers. even though marijuana is still illegal federally, it would he a lou banks and credit unions to provide banking for marijuana. so the in the middle of our drug crisis, the only thing they can agree on is to make it easier for people to buy drugs. some are getting very rich. the former republican house speaker isis now a weed analyst. and they want you to be so out of it, can't understand. choose sew buy itself so you can be awake enough to critique them.

if you do want to take pictures, take videos, et cetera, and tweet them, yes, #tribfest19 is how you'll do that. we'll take questions at the end. the microphone will be passed around. if you want to get the attention of the microphone, please look around as we move to that portion of the program. quickly, i'm david priess, chief operating officer of lawfare. i worked in counterterror at cia both before and after 9/11. now revisiting the terrorism issue from a different perspective. i'm here to bring out the best expertise and insight from our four panelists. bobby chesney is one of the three co-founders of lawfare who served on the president's policy detention task force. now james a. baker iii chair at university of texas where he also directs the robert s. strauss center. mary mccord has been the acting assistant attorney general for national security, the principal deputy assistant attorney general for national security and for, what, 20 years before that a u.s. -- assistant u.s. attorney. she's now legal director at the institute for constitutional add voe scatcy and protection and

how this is affecting international security, et cetera, et cetera. they've been adamant about making this incursion and have been dissatisfied with the progress we've made, so see no lessening with regard to their commitment at this point in time. >> reporter: what are you telling the syrian democratic forces to make >> do you want to comment on that? >> with respect to the turkish military, i just got off the phone shortly ago. my counterpart, multiple calls over the last several relays. again, not seeing any indications of warnings, of any planned stoppage of their military activity. >> reporter: to follow through, what are the u.s. officials, u.s. military, telling the syrian democratic forces that they should do? in response to this incursion? >> right now we do have forces colocated and we are asking them to continue their partnership with us and continue the protection of our forces, and so on. naturally, there is a considerable amount of anxiety. i think you get a lot of that in your channels, as well. and the leadership of the sdf has given i

they say boris johnson is aides, sources close to, et cetera.ared to squat in downing street even if mps declare a vote of no confidence in him. and even more hard to believe is the idea that the speaker could become the caretaker prime minister. we have had many others mentioned. but this is extraordinary. if we thought it was the supreme court was a great beginning of a constitutional crisis... i would like to think that if the queen is reading her newspaper she would be thinking 0k, no problem you are fired. this it would not be the first time. the last time a monarch sack the prime minister was 183a when william iv dismissed the prime minister. on a serious note, is this even possible? i suppose it is possible but what we're doing at moment is ripping apart our constitution. if the head of state decides that the prime minister has to go, the prime minister has to go, the prime minister goes. an interesting idea about what happens if the prime minister does not know. in one of the points the newspaper makes, they say that unless police turn u

basically we're going to be like a hub where people can come to get services, help, information, et ceteraat you see here on this table are a whole variety of did you ever rent things from tools, some walki-talkies. this helps people know what is going on in their neighborhood. over here you have a whole variety of water and canned goods. we're really hoping that people will stock up for themselves at least for the first 72 hours if not more. i know that i have a ton of canned food and other sorts of things such as water within my own home. and everybody should, but there's going to come a time where people are going to end up running out and needing more. so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to be a major city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right. >> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be o

that still exists, presidential election, et cetera, et cetera. if you think you're going to get a development on trade and that the economy is going to get a little boost of relief, maybe it's not the f.a.a.n.g.s. that are going to go up, but the cyclical stocks and industrials that are more sensitive and maybe some of the tech names. >> you're certainly seeing that today, that it doesn't have to be the f.a.a.n.g.s. >> are others going to go up more at expense of the f.a.a.n.g.s. >> you see it today. you look at caterpillar which is a bellwether for how the trade talks are going. it's up four percent. it's a big move for caterpillar. it's the sort of move that if you get an easing of trade tensions, if brexit goes well, if you don't have tariffs on europe, you can see things like caterpillar. maybe railroads pick up which has been decimated by the decrease in container traffic coming in. the industrials, the basic materials, energy stocks, all of these things which have been left for dead this year. >> bank earnings coming off next week. if you c

it depends on how many witnesses, et cetera. i can't speculate on that. second question, remember, the intelligence committee is doing a basic investigative job, a job that in past impeachments was done by the starr commission or urban committee. once it goes to judiciary, it's a different stage. it is not the official initial fact-finding stage and it is proper that the president have more recourse at that point. the minority, the republicans, have the same rights and have rights to call witnesses, to examine witnesses, et cetera, in intelligence. they will have the same rights in judiciary. once it gets to judiciary, if we are carrying -- if there has been a recommendation for an impeachment, then we are carrying on that inquiry at that point and the president ought to have more rights than in the initial fact-finding stage. mr. jeffries: the president yesterday directed his republican defenders to focus on substance. that's what house democrats have been doing from the very beginning and we invite our republican colleagues pursuant to the direction of

, et cetera. [inaudible] >> i mean, it's not even clear what they're talking about as it relates to the process being tainted and the fruit of the poisonous tree. to the extent you have a whistleblower complaint that has been repeatedly validated by trump's own appointees, the intelligence community inspector general said that the complaint filed by the whistleblower relates to a matter of urgent concern and is credible. he's a trump appointee. the general counsel of the cia was so troubled by the whistleblower complaint that she referred the complaint to the department of justice for possible criminal prosecution. she's a trump appointee. the acting director of national intelligence testified in front of the american people that the whistleblower acted in good faith and followed the law. the acting director of national intelligence is a trump appointee. what in the world are my republican colleagues in the house talking about when they refer to the fruit of the poisonous tree? the american people

he's a brutal murderer and serial rapist, et cetera. the press had an opportunity, and you can name it outlets. they had the opportunity to play it straight for something that was good for america and good for the world. and it just happened to have something to do with president donald trump. they had the opportunity do to do the right thing and show they could report unbiased, and they couldn't do it. trish: it's time to come together. >> just for a moment. trish: they continue to pound him. he can't catch a break. i get. congressman perry, i know you have to go back inside that scif. go do your work. trish: it's not just the liberal media and democrats not giving credit for the killing of al-baghdadi. >> do you think he deserves credit? >> [bleep] donald trump. >> i will take that as a no. >> i don't know much about that. >> i guess it happened despite him. trish: the entire video you need to see. president trump telling doug wead that if the obama white house spied on his 2016 campaign, it's a treasonous act. first an explosive cour

et cetera.what would be donald trump's motivation to try to get pence directly involved in this? >> yeah, that's a good question. it's possible that he wanted to make it seem like it wasn't just him, it wasn't just his initiative, his own desire to essentially blackmail the ukrainians into giving him this dirt on a political rival. but it's also just i think a matter of process that mike pence, his aides would be on this call and potentially he just got sucked into this like so many other officials in the white house. >> kelly, do you see this as believable that mike pence's aids with where are on a call that set off alarm bells in the white house that led to abuse of the security system as you have written about, that there was white house counsel involved, that rudy giuliani was popping up in "the new york times" and elsewhere talking about ukraine and mike pence was just laser-focused and out of the loop on everything? >> well, it's not unusual for various national security council staff and

distraction, should nancy pelosi reverse course and change the process of how this house will vote, et cetera? >> guest: there's nothing in the constitution requires a houseboat, number one. the constitution so this is congress shall have power to impeach a president for acts of high crimes and misdemeanors. but there's going to be a vote, make the mistake about that. if the committees that are involved in these investigations reached the judgment that there are articles of impeachment that should be presented, they will do so. there would be a vote in the house of representatives, every member of congress will be required to cast a vote either for or against the impeachment of the president. and then if that vote prevails it will go to the senate where every member of the senate will make a judgment as to whether the president should or should not be removed from office. so there's going to be a vote if, , a big if, if the committes makes the determination there wereat impeachable offenses and that determination has not yet been made. >> host: hot springs, arkansas, republican, good morning.

a congratulations, the first pages congratulations on your win et cetera, et cetera. it could not have been nicer. i tell you, lindsey graham said when he read it, he said "i never knew that trump was at nice of a person. this is such a nice conversati conversation." no, he said "i never knew he was so nice." i viewed that as a complement in this case but anyway, look it is a disgrace what's going on. in the meantime we are doing a good job running the country. that is what i'm focused on and this is an unfair situation. >> sean: look at the double standard hillary and the dossier, ukraine interfering on her behalf and adam schiff for three years telling us lies and then he's connected to the whistle-blower so we can't bring the whistle-blower in. >> president trump: they met with the whistle-blower. nobody knew that. we just found out that they knew. where is the person that gave the whistle-blower the information? is that person a spy? or does that person even exist? i have a feeling that person doesn't exist. i think schiff made it up here it's apparently schiff an

et cetera et cetera. what controls the systems? satellites. what else do the satellites control, nuclear systems. so there's an intermission of those things which is new. another thing that has happened, satellite systems turn the cold war and very, very high organs, those orbits were so high they were untouchable. they were invulnerable. nobody could reach them with ground-based antisatellite weaponry. and they were certainly not space-based antisatellite weapons either. we knew that the satellites were secure. we have to worry about them. that is not true now. so satellites that are detecting and controlling weapons are vulnerable. they are not only vulnerable in the satellite weapons connecticut weapons, they are vulnerable to cyber penetration. and we probably cannot defend them. what that means a crisis situation and the ability to detect threats in the confidence that we would have when the president says watch that those systems are actually watched has gone like this compared to the cold war. that

they brought body parts back to him, et cetera, et cetera. there wasn't much left. he was screaming, crying and whimpering. it was brutal. he led his three children to death. he was an animal and he was a gutless animal. >> let's talk about it all. bob and jennifer, thank you both for coming on. bob, let me just start with you. before we, you know, really dive in, let's just step back and look at the big picture here. how huge is this? >> oh, it's big. he was the spiritual baghdadi of the islamic state, he was an important figure, he was a recruiting tool for people in europe and the rest of the middle east. this was a major victory over terrorism, no doubt about it. and the fact that we ran him to ground is inevitable but it's still very, very important. this organization, secondly, is on its back feet on this. so it's good. i mean, it's a victory. >> it's a victory. and it's the how they did it. i'm looking down at my notes, jennifer. it had been in the works for months, ever since a baghdadi companion and isis member was captured by the iraqis. the currier's wife

so the amount of parking in a building affects travel behaviour, transit passes affect it, et cetera. what you're doing rely on the old 2003 guidelines, so rather than doing an eir, eis because directors and others have said maybe sequa maybe isn't the best place, you can create a new place. let's do a transportation study and not redoing the eirs but trying to understand what you know now and how it might policies and how they might change. we think it's a great time for a refresh because we know a lot more. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> jessie hernandez for health and justice. good day. on august 22nd, some 20 community members took time off of their work and family to impress on you their very deep concerns with the proposed development at 65 ocean and that day you heard a unified voice against the largest ever luxury housing development proposed in the exc elsior to date. the community asked for a response in a month's time and today it two months since that day and we have not received a formal response. so nearly two months, immigrant working class, people of colour, re

the effort that is made and cooperation aid, et cetera, et cetera.t's a heavyweight in those domains but then you -- it's tiny and it's insufficient when it comes to other issues of trying to shape or to transform its immediate neighborhood. and transform it in a positive way. so this is the main paradox. the other paradox is, the eu as a normative power or actor trying to transform or to compare the southern neighborhood, and remember, back in 1995, the launching of the so-called barcelona process. the partnership. there was, i would say, it was less time that you had vision as such specifically for the mediterranean, for the southern mediterranean. there was a diagnosis, which i think still holds large extent until our days, but there was a paradox, and the paradox was the following. so in order to make those southern political systems, regimes, come closer and build a neighborhood that has shared prosperity, stability, and peace, it was done in a voluntary way. so all the democratic clauses that were included in the pro partnership agreements were

they have been trialling is get those people with window seats on first, then people at the back, et cetera, brett says, "there are numerous studies on this and random boarding is the most effective way. you cannot change people. most bring on too much and spend too much time sorting out stuff and they are swapping seats. it is chaos. i will see you soon. the middle of the week across the uk is looking fairly quiet on the weather front. once again, a lot of bright if not sunny weather on the way for the majority of the uk. but not everywhere, because in the south—west of the country, different story here. it has been damp, it's been raining for the last 24 hours, mostly on and off, light rain, that's exactly what we're going to have on wednesday and you can see the clouds here, that's a weather front that's basically stuck, it's kind of stalled across this part of the uk. so for cornwall and devon, we've got the light outbreaks of rain. so for cornwall and devon, we've got the light outbreaks of rain. possibly pembrokeshire, the isle of wight too. we've got the milder conditions here — nine

it dictates our, you know, funding for roads, public safety, hospitals, parks, et cetera, and so manyther basic critical needs that californians and people who living--who are living in the bay area fundamentally rely on. and so, it's for that reason why we're partnering with the asian pacific environmental network and really moving about $3.3 million to over 130 local and community-based organizations that are stressing and educating to the public why it's so important to participate in the census, and also providing them with the support to actually fill it out accurately. robert: we're trying to cover as much ground as we can, but what can--where can people go to get more information and to figure out how they fit in to all of this? alexander: sure, well, first, i would totally check out apen's website, apen4ej.org. we are partnering with many community-based organizations across the bay area, not only api organizations, but latino, african american, et cetera, those types of organizations. and we actually recommend that folks plug into groups like apen or other organizations to re

there are all times of ordinance used, as well as many guns, small arm fire, et cetera, et cetera. we used a variety of munitions and the bombs were used at the tail end in order to destroy the compounds you saw on various videos, et cetera. at this time i've seen a lot and i'll wait until everything is appropriately declassified here in the coming days and we'll make sure you're provided that. twe we're not releasing the dog right now. the canine performed a lot of duties. slightly wounded but recovering. we're not going to release just yet, nor the dog's identity. [ inaudible question ] >> baghdadi, his remains were deposited according to the officials. how much material did you take away? >> material was taken away. i don't want to say how much until it gets taken anywhere. as to whether it was headquarters, it was an area in which he was staying on a consistent basis. zaz about pm there were two adult males. >> i thank you for your time today. i wanted to look at the what's next aspect. the president alluded to materials being collected from the site itself. can you in any way

programs for low-income residents for better service, et cetera. and the second one is to support contractor training for small minority contractors to increase their capacity and access in green sector. those are the two we felt were the most critical to low-income communities, because that was our mandate. >> that will stick in our heads. thank you. >> chair: commissioner. >> i just wanted to also second commissioner wong's comments about making sure s.r.o.s are explicitly included. one thing also briefly looking at the mapping, there is a mention of a.b.1515. that is great. it better encompasses san francisco. having that map included, just so the public is more aware, i think it would be helpful as well. and just recognizing -- it's an ongoing process, continuously improving. and hopefully will better reflect environmental justice communities throughout the bay area. the question i wanted to pose back to you is actually around a total different subject labor. what is your assessment on the days of the apprenticeship pipeline? what kind of trade

, et cetera, et cetera. so how would you grade america's strategic competition with russia and china in the region right now? >> ken, do you want to start off? >> overhead there, ken. >> tank. i would give it a f. is there a f plus? were not. commits going to try, first of one level i think back to 2010. in the middle east know we talked about russia in 2010. russia wasn't a player in the middle east. we let them back in. they are now a major player in the middle east all over the place. let's think a little bit about what's been going on right now in the gulf, where the united states is as fast as we can backtracking from our commitments allies the go back 45, 40 years, 75 years in on when you want to date things. president trump has announced that the iranians can attack the gcc states all the iranians like as long as they don't attack us. that's a fundamental the trail of our informal alliance with the gcc states in the fundamental betrayal of the carter doctrine and what i would call the reagan corollary

plus they have concerns as expressed by adam schiff about exposing this whistle-blower to attacks, et cetera. is that legitimate in your view as democrats are proceeding in a formal impeachment inquiry? >> so i don't think there's that much sort of substantive value at this point of bringing the whistle-blower in. again, as republicans were claiming this was all second-hand knowledge, all hearsay by the whistle-blower, what we've seen is that complaint sparked off a series of primary source testimony. people like bill taylor and next week, tim morrison who are actually going to be able to speak to what happened. so the idea that the whistle-blower is now going to come in and provide additional information is probably relatively unlikely. now the whistle-blower might be in a position to point to other individuals who might be able to testify, right, who told this person about what was going on. how wide ranging was it? did they hear anything else? but ultimately, this is going to become essentially a question of political optics. because republicans had been unwilling to defend the president'

, et cetera. the take away that i would highlight, both from the daca rescission cases that are at the supreme court now as well as from every other major immigration initiative of the trump administration, , that wod include the muslim ban, a whole cluster of assignment within policy changes, the public charge rule, rescission of daca and also sanctuary cities policies of this administration. the lesson from all of the many court battles over all of those issues are twofold. the first lesson is that litigation in support of immigrant communities has never been more important than it has been under the trump administration. so for all you georgetown under the law school students here, you're in the right place doing the right thing to get ready to be more of the right thing. even when we have unfortunately lost, as with the muslim ban where we got injunctions from all of the lower federal courts but ultimately the state of hawaii lost in the supreme court, we bought time for people in the case of

it depends on obviously how many witness, et cetera. i can't speculate on that. the second question is remember that the intelligence committee is doing a basic investigative job, and job that in past impeachments was done by the starr commission or the urban committee, et cetera, and once it is going to judiciary, it is a different stage and a different stage and it is not the initial fact-finding stage and it is proper that the president have more recourse at that point. now, remember, the minority, the republicans, they have the same rights to call witnesses, to examine witnesses, et cetera, intel and same rights in judiciary, but once it is going to judiciary, if we are carrying on the impeachment, and if there has been a recommendation for an impeachment that we are carrying out that investigation, that inquiry at that point, then the president ought to have more rights that on in the initial fact-finding stage. >> the president yesterday directed his republican defenders to focus on substance. that is what the house democrats have been doing, and we invite

all with the justice for coalition, et cetera. the best thing you can do is start to organize back here in our own backyard. that builds all the way up. hope around election time i would have the privilege and the honor of asking you for your support. that i have tove fight for it every time. do is best thing you can lean into work around alzheimer's as our neighbors adhere. lean into work around incarceration because that seems to have touched your life. lean into work run housing, run the environment. we do not all have to be the masters of everything. there is the best path to really lean into the things that have touched your life. for me it was early childhood education per for you it may be something else. the best thing you can do now to help this movement is to be a really amazing organizer of people. [applause] alzheimer's society. and wanted to give you. [indiscernible] thank you. [applause] >> i am so glad to meet you. from the time you were elected. i'm from sherwood village. and i wonder, i see on tv. coming and i'm g

we kind of track this across europe, western europe, et cetera. look for a more detailed answer to that that's 30-something pages on wednesday of this week. >> digestible. not 300 pages. 30. ra rebecca, you get the last word, if you want it. >> i think as we have learned over the last hour and 15, to george's point, this is obviously a global problem. we're confronting it together. and i look forward to hearing the continuation of the conversation. thanks again. >> thank you, seth. >> if you could join me in thanking our panel. [ applause ] we have tried to tee this up for suzanne and her panel to answer all the tough questions we have definitively answer all the tough questions we have raised. if you could stay seated, we're going to transition over to suzanne's panel. this should be an interesting, frank discussion of how to think through some of these issues. thank you again. >> thanks, guys. all right. well, that was terrific. i want to thank seth and his panel for setting the stage so beautifully for this follow-on conversation. seth has been

and cooperation aid, et cetera, et cetera. so it's a heavyweight in those domains.t's time and inefficient when it comes to other issues of trying to shape or to transfer its immediate neighborhood and to forbid any positive way. this is the main paradox. another paradox is the eu as normative actor or power trying to transform or to converge the southern neighborhood, and remember back in 1995 the launching of the so-called barcelona process, the united states partnership. i would say it was less time you write vision, as such specifically for the southern mediterranean. there was a diagnosis which still holds large extent unfilled. but the was a paradox and the paradox with the following. so in order to make those southern political systems, closer and build a neighborhood that has shared prosperity,, stability and peace, it was done voluntarily way. so all clauses that were included in the partition agreements were never used ever with any single southern mediterranean country, which means that europe did business as usual. there were abuses and there were excess

the reason why she got elected is because of the same values, principles, grassroots organizing, et ceterashe has huge influence. i think it's the perfect marriage. i don't know that there's any risk there. i'm not certain it takes him any further. he's already killing the game on fundraising. so i don't know where that grows. and i'm not convinced that this suddenly brings in a new wave of people of color to support him. >> is there broad appeal for somebody like alexandria ocasio-cortez within the party? yeah, she resonates a lot in new york, on twitter. what about in more rural parts of the country? >> and that's the question, right? the bigger question is how much the republican, in particular donald trump's tarring of her as the enemy, actually does damage thdamage. so that's a real thing. but bernie sanders has a bigger problem, which is that he's a victim of his own success. he has basically transformed the democratic party. >> and he'd say, wait, why is that a problem? >> right. a lot of the other candidates have absorbed a lot of what he was running on in 2016. now there isn't a l

we're not withholding aid for an investigation, et cetera. there's that. but then there's "the wall street journal" reporting that you point out about what ambassador sondland told wisconsin republican senator ron johnson on friday. the recording is that mr. sondland told ron johnson in august that the decision to hold up nearly $400 million in aid to ukraine was contingent on the investigation that the president desired. so there's not even a straight story to a republican senator and as shown in these text messages. >> and what sondland told senator johnson was so striking that the senator, who has been defensive of the administration and of president trump throughout all of this, it made him wince. he did not want those two issues tied together. that's why ambassador sondland was going to be a critical witness to straighten out that story and to fill in the blanks that are continuing to be there as house democrats continue to investigate. we saw signs this was going to be a much more difficult testimony than perhaps kurt volcker, the former special envo

, et cetera, is there anybody in the white house concerned, boy this looks bad. even liz cheney is saying this is shameful. >> that is something everyone was paying attention to in the white house. it wasn't just liz cheney, she was the first and people were surprised she came out so forcefully about that and john thune and mitch mcconnell talking about the criticism of someone who was just simply, they believe, telling what happened in his position in that role. of course he is incredibly sensitive for the white house because the first person to testify that was on the call. that is why you saw people trying to discredit him even though he is someone who has served in the military and wounded and essentially people in the white house said they didn't think that was a great idea. >> my sources say he reported to work today at the national security council after all of this. and thank you for being here. a ton going on today. another foreign service officer is testifying before house investigators. this is as lawmakers are right now debating impeachment inquiry ru

, et cetera.underlying core facts of this case, what's at issue? >> michael smerconish, no limit to the props you deserve. thank you for coming on this morning. >> see you, guys. >> be sure to watch "smerconish" tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern. >>> republicans on capitol hill worry behind the scenes that the white house is not prepared to respond to the likelihood that president trump will be impeached in the house. so how some of his biggest supporters are trying to now take the reins. breathe freely fast, with vicks sinex. my congestion's gone. i can breathe again! ahhhh! i can breathe again! ughh! vicks sinex. breathe on. cologuard: colon cancer and older at average risk. i've heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. i'm not worried. it doesn't run in my family. i can do it next year. no rush. cologuard is the noninvasive option that finds 92% of colon cancers. you just get the kit in the mail, go to the bathroom, collect your sample, then ship it to the lab. there's no

, et cetera, if you are gay, number one. number two, in my state department, not a joke, we will have a special office that's devoted directly to promoting lgbtq rights around the world, around the world. now two other things. interesting phenomenon. i know i heard a question about asked about the catholic schools and catholicism. guess the first nation in the world to change their constitution to allow gay marriage -- ireland. ireland, okay? number one. number two, look what's happened as well in india. i was in india promoting a proposal when i was vice president that i had to have universal women's -- the violence against women act made a condition upon which aid goes to other countries. deny aid if they don't provide it. and at the time, i'm not saying i'm the reason why india changed, but my vocal opposition and our vocal opposition to the way they in fact dealt with lgbtq populations was in fact part of the reason i think they changed. lastly, i would in fact curtail aid, curtail foreign assistance to countries who in

opening comments enforcement has really come to, into full force with resources and techniques, et cetera do you see republicans being satisfied at this point with the enforcement stance that is taking place at the southwest border? are republicans in the place where they believe that what trump is doing is finally realizing the kind of policy outlook that has been working so fully pressed in the republican party? and do you see any movement among republicans particularly in the senate to do with this with the senate to deal this administration advances all the time, which is the reason the system at the borders having a problem because of loopholes in the law and those loopholes have to be fixed, and that is julia says, congress needs to do something? so talk about how republicans see this to the degree you understand. >> yes, interesting to me. i think we've come from a very different place now than we were 2013 and 2014. when we made a run at this in 2013-2014 at that the senate passed a bipartisan basis, at that point it was very much throw money at the problem and that worked in the

opening comments enforcement has really come to, into full force with resources and techniques, et cetera. do you see republicans being satisfied at this point with the enforcement stance that is taking place at the southwest border? are republicans in the place where the blade that what trump is doing is finally realizing the kind of policy outlook that has been working so fully press in the republican party? and do you see any movement among republicans particularly in the senate to do with this administration advances all the time, which is the reason the system at the borders having a problem because of loopholes in the law and those loopholes have to be fixed, and that is julia says, congress needs to do something? so talk about how republicans see this to the degree you understand. >> yes, interesting to me. i think we've come from a very different place now than we were 13 and 14. when we made a run at this in 2013-2014 at that the senate passed a bipartisan basis, at that point it was very much throw money at the problem and that worked in the senate. and he think that we try to d

>> because >> because their budgets will get squeezed as people get concerned about a recession, et cetera>> is that what it is? >> secondly you're getting good productivity out of i.t. so they're leveraging that. the key issue and most of the startups i'm involved with, they sell to the technical elite, business elite and ceo level if you're in topics like security, my security startup is growing 200% a year, whether it's detecting what could have been permitted in saudi arabia or a smartphone i showed you guys, it won sole source as dissa, the air force, et cetera. but where the budget is, it's where they want to lead. so if you're only selling to i.t. that's okay the next year or two with people concerned if you're selling business outcomes then things get very good we're looking at probably growth per year of 80% and head count last year, 70% this next year. we're looking at not how to create 10,000 millionaires like cisco but we know what the stock has to do to create a millionaire for every one of our employees. >> ipo how soon? >> the goal is to get there in four years. >> and the f

and as i said, they brought body parts back with them, et cetera, et cetera. there wasn't much left. the, uh, the vest blew up but there are still substantial pieces they brought back. they did an onsite test because we had to know this. and it was a very quick cool that took place about 15 minutes after he was killed. and it was positive. "this is a confirmation, sir." >> reporter: it is also reported his wife or one of his wives had detonated a vest. >> there were two women. two women. both wives. both wearing vests. they had not detonated. but the fact that they were dead and had vests on made it very difficult for our men because they had vests on. and it made it very difficult for our men. because you never know what's going to happen. they aligned their dead. they never detonated it. but they were dead. >> reporter: on possible successors, have you been briefed on -- >> yeah, we know successors, we have them in our siteghts. we know our successors. hamza was a very big thing. osama bin laden became big with the world trade center. this was a man who buil

melting, changes in ocean chemistry and resulting changes in biodiversity, the movement of fish, et cetera. okay. great. so the way i've structured this report is to just focus in on a couple of the changes that the report finds have already been observed, to briefly touch on what possible futures could look like, and then to talk about some of the implications for the -- for marine policy and for species migration, et cetera one of the main report findings is not a new one in terms of green land and an arctic ice sheets melting. the new finding here is that these are the major drivers of accelerated sea level rise. and these areas are melting from below which is causing -- it's now kind of surpassed ocean thermal expansion as a major driver for sea level rise. during the last century, we find that it rose by 15 centimeters. right now, sea level is currently rising at more than twice that rate and continuing to accelerate. with the highest scenario productions, we could be over one meter of sea level rise by 2100. also, over the last 40 years, arctic sea ice has decreased for all months of
