linda feldman: how short? rep. schiff: i think when someone is first brought on board, there is a need to bring itm up to speed, but yet will take time for the agencies to finish their work, but there was no indication of a problem. there are other cases where there is an indication of up problem and that is in the investigation. if that becomes prolonged, then i think you need to make sure you circumscribe access to classified or particularly sensitive information. it certainly looks like from the public reports, there were a number of temporary extensions and they were extended over issues that were problematic, not simply a function of there being a deluge of people or a backlog of the clearance process. so, i think there are genuine issues with how the process has been utilized in the administration. to add to that, in the case of jared kushner and others, you have situations where when the security clearance forms are initially filled out, they are incomplete. later they are filled out in a more complete way b

richard feldman is regional political director of the national rifle association he's joining us now on skype from boston thank you very much indeed for your time so-called stocks merely adapt to the capability of a weapon and yet it needs an individual to actually pull the trigger do you think that donald trump's latest move misses the point. well it does it's not even focusing on the problem that occurred last week in parkland which was that a deranged individual was able to access guns and take them to a school and commit this terrible atrocity how much as gun control in the u.s. an issue of legality and how much of it is an issue of enforcement or lack of it well it's it's a complicated issue in the united states because about half the population little less than half own guns but half the populations is the gun as an individual civil right to own it the people some of the people on the other side kind of who pooh the individual right of a gun and think of it more as a privilege that can be denied if somebody misuses the privilege well we can deny honored twenty million people th

noah feldman with this important essay on china.d presidency corresponded almost exactly to one of the fastest periods of economic growth in human history, comparable to britain in the age of industria industrialization and the united states in the years after the civil war. dictatorships are terrible at transition. wagers on its stability and growth should be revised downward. these are extraordinary comments at an extraordinary time. the only equivalent i know a when putin2004 became a permanent force in russia. do you change your view on china? kit: not yet. there's a risk that we will demand a slightly high risk premium for a while to see how it pans out. ultimately china has thrived on control. in the short-term the policymakers are so much in control of the economy and so much of what they have been doing is good. the markets will probably give them a fair amount of benefit of the doubt. there is just going to be unease about the really long term. he was in power for a while and still to come for another five years. we are goi
