"newshour weekend" special correspondent jeff greenfield joins me from santa barbara, california, to discuss that. so, what did we miss? >> well, the entire political universe was focused on the comey testimony. up on capitol hill in the senate, majority leader mitch mcconnell took the republican repeal and replace obamacare bill and put it on a so-called fast track. that means it can go right to the floor of the senate with no committee meetings, no hearings, virtually no debate, and it would take 50 votes to pass it. there were some concessions to moderates. it's not clear the most conservative of senators will sign on, but it represents a significant step in that direction. on the other side the house passed significant cutbacks of the dodd-frank bill. that's legislation that puts significant caps on what big banks can do in the wake of the financial meltdown in 2008. what it indicates is that the republican majorities in the house and senate are determined to press ahead with the core republican agenda on matters ranging from financial regulation to the role of health in the gove

james is calling from greenfield, massachusetts, on our republican line. hi, james. caller: hey, good morning. thank you, c-span. the estion i have, after shooting, i was listening to what some of the congressmen had said. they mention that the congress were yelling at the police, shoot them, shoot them and i'm wondering if it's a policy where you have to say, stop or i'll shoot, several times before you can do anything about it with the washington police, the white house police. and i think for that reason, you know, knowing that, if that's true, then i totally agree that the congresspeople should have -- be able to carry a gun for their own protection. thank you. guest: well, i think if you look at the video of that attack, it was horrific. it was a six-minute long video someone shot from their iphone. capitol police really swooped in completely unprepared. when you are at a ballpark, that's not something going through your mind. you don't think you would expect that. they were really on the ball. they were really quick and professional. i think rand paul in partic

buffett: it came out, because meg greenfield, who was the editor of the editorial page of the "post,"d me in the late 1980's, and she said, "warren, i have always loved the pacific northwest," she was -- she had grown up there and said, "but i want to know if i would have enough money to purchase a house, a vacation-type house on an island near seattle." i said, "meg, anybody who asks me if they have enough money, does have enough money." so, she bought the house. so she invited me and others to the house, and she knew the elder gates. so she called mary gates. and then mary went to work on bill to try to get him to come. and bill said he was not going to come down and meet a stockbroker. but mary was a very firm type. and said, "you are coming." he said, "i am not going." finally, they started negotiating hours, and she said four hours, and he said one hour. when we met, we talked for about 11 hours straight without being interrupted. david: so that was the beginning of the relationship. mr. buffett: yeah, we hit it off. david: but you never bought any of his shares? mr. buffett: i b

socially cleansed initially we heard that there would be real housing there for the survivors of the greenfield tragedy the latest i think is in london she's saying that boras or neighboring barr is how do you think i did in policy makers are going to we have to hold them to account and if they've moved some residents into some nearby luxury apartments which have a concierge service which have a gymnasium and it's important that the people that move into that property get those services i mean whether they're in a separate section i don't know whether they're think they will be in a separate. area for so-called affordable housing just describe what a poor door is yes i mean a poor door is an annex to luxury apartments which is where the social rent tenants leave in and there are all sorts of reasons for that used to justify it part of the agreement with the builder is that they'll only make a certain amount of social rents about. if there is a separate also reduces the cost down for everybody so you can argue economically that you know there is a reason for it but then on the other side of it y

know the most popular prime minister over to the least popular prime minister oh she handled the greenfield tower. very well it was this it was the same weaknesses they were exposed during the election campaign. and she's she's like she's very much like a british hillary clinton you know she's a woman overall thora and talent and extremely hard work but as a front as a person to front a campaign she's not great she'd she doesn't have that connection with the public and that was exposed during the campaign and then when gran felt how happened she did she didn't go and show the compassion and the the touch with ordinary people the journey cope and show journey coping turned up gave people hopes you know was reading cards with mothers who had lost their lost their family trees and they turned up earlier in the day didn't meet the public and just organize the relief effort with the fire and rescue services are one maybe better at dealing with the situation but i think in twenty first century politics you need the ability to connect with people what's the mood about evacuating all the people fro

it i was raised by two public school teachers in the beautiful town of greenfield, massachusetts. my mother was a kibter garden teacher -- consistenter and goen teacher. my father taught high school. as i was growing up, my town went through a very painful transition. for the longest time greenfield was a thriving mill town with a dye operation that employed thousands of citizens. a neighboring area was almost as prosperous. housing a massive paper mill along the banks. connecticut river. but as we got older, times were changing. plants closed. families started moving away. graduates stopped coming home after college. it seemed impossible to look around and not wonder what was happening to my town. when i started studying economics in college, and again in graduate school, i always came back to the example of how my town changed. why did plants move away or close? why did many of the good jobs disappear? is there something that policymakers can do to restore prosperity? economic models suggest a simple answer. workers can have high wages if they have high productivity and high pro

. >> less bitter and mostly sweet for these students at greenfield elementary school in center city. >> last day of school! >> it's the last day of school we are excited are you excited? >> less homework i want it get out. >> i don't want to come to school no more. >> you have to come back in a few months. >> i know. >> autumn will be approaching the next time they hear principal dan blow his whistle at 8:15 a.m. telling them it's time to head inside. >> i will miss the adorable faces each and every day, i don't know how i will get through it but september will come soon enough. >> other staff members use the summer to celebrate after four years without a contract the union approved a temporary three year deal that includes pay raises. >> i'm excited it's a long time coming and may not be everything we wanted but it's something for the most part people are happy. >> students and parent as like could barely contain their excitement. >> i am excited about that. get some rest and sleep in a little bit. it's cool for me. >> your mom is glad it's over. >> i'm done with school right now. >

i think there is a greenfield opportunity because of the changing cost point and being able to put iny in each kilogram we put up into space. that has changed by several orders of magnitude. massive disruption in the industry allows you to put hundreds of satellites up. they can be used for g.p.s., better to medications. -- communications. able to get internet to people that do not have internet. they take images to help us take better care of the planet. we are only seeing the beginning for big shift in space satellites to do lots of things to help on planet earth. emily: how do you navigate geopolitical issues? >> our data is very relevant geopolitically. i think it is super important that this was typically the province of the government. now we are seeing private enterprise able to get into it. that is enabling a lot more commercial applications for the technology and humanitarian applications for the technology, not just government use cases. that broadens and democratizes access to space. emily: do you plan to take this company public? are you going to raise more money? >> i thi

a similar issue with building siding caused flames to spread very quickly through the greenfield tower back on june 14th. this fire claimed the lives of at least 79 peemd. >>> new video this morning showing a very scary moment at a theme park in upstate new york. take a look. >> her neck is stuck. >> a cell phone camera was rolling as a teenage girl dangled from a gondola ride. a crowd gathered underneath to catch her. and they did. ooh. the teen was not seriously injured. the park says there doesn't appear to be any malfunction with the ride, but they have closed it until a thorough review is finished. >> here's a story about a colorado kitten who used up at least one of his nine lives. matthew owns a cat named vegas. he thought he had run away, but last week while driving the work, he heard a meow from inside his van. he stopped and asked a police officer for help. they zeroed in on the dashboard. >> we unclipped that and pulled it down, and his paw fell out. >> he was up inside there. which is kind of back in here. >> i'm imagining he crawled up through the bottom into the engine co

host: randy, greenfield, indiana, independent caller. hey, randy. caller: thanks for having me. an observation to make and i'd like an opinion on it. asked comey three times if air,ould clear the why did he have to fire him efore he would actually say that he wasn't under investigation and what has changed from the last time he make him think that his was interference in investigation? walker.unter guest: one thing, trektor comey said the president was not under investigation, as of when he was last in the f.b.i. testimony say in his he advised the president that, you know, putting out could createn this the wrong impression. what has changed now is that he's private citizen and to testify about it. he can describe these conversations a bit. it is worth pointing out that hen to testify about donald ty talking about comey firing, he said that the f.b.i. director wasn't under investigation three times. a lot of people raised eyebrows the director did back it up. host: michael from salt lake, the democrats line, hello, michael. caller: i'd like to say, i don't think the president h

we caught up with these students at greenfield elementary school in center city. some are elated and others including educators say the last day could be bitter sweet. >> i'm upset i'll miss my frien friends. >> i don't know how i'll get through it but september will come soon enough. >> they will see their principal again in september. students return to school just after labor day on september 5th and two hours ago the philadelphia school district teachers and staff members voted for a tentative contract and went five years without commonsation raises and among other things this contract boosts salaries and requires members to contribute to their health care for the very first time. this contract runs through 2020. it's $202 million. they finally signed something today. >> a long awaited deal. thank you. >>> time for a check of the "action news" traffic report. lets go live to matt pellman in the traffic center today. >> hi guys, not as much school buses on the roads these days that gives us elbow room forever the rest of us drivers but not a lot of extra elbow

. >> here in greenfield, iowa, that message is hitting home. >> i think people are sick and tired ofsome instances, the state governments not working for their own people. why shouldn't the american citizen be first in the eyes of the american government. >> barack obama carried the state in 2012. just four years later donald trump won iowa by nearly ten points. many voters here embraced his campaign promise that he would stand up to the rest of the world. >> why should we want to at the very least treat ourselves fairly first? i think that was the message of donald trump's campaign. >> for small business owners like teresa condray, setting up a farmers market, the local economy feels strong. she voted for donald trump and thinks he has her best interest in mind. >> i'm going to be fair but i think he's trying but it's the way he knows how. i think he's just got a different way of going about it. >> it is a way that sometimes may make her feel uncomfortable. >> it might appear it's coming off strong or whatever, but this is actually what he's trying to do and it makes sense. instead

jeff greenfield wrote quts the gop that failed and in it he writes either by cluelessness or willfulrepublican party had put itself in a position where one of the most significant functions of a party, the vetting of the pro inspective nominee was rendered impotent and we are living with that institutional failure every day. was there a failure to vet president trump? >> well, look, i was no fan of president trump during the primary. anybody who watched "meet the press" daily, i was beating the drum of republicans -- get somebody not just learning on the job. that being said i disagree with this article. i don't know how you can call the republican majority that is congressionally stronger than since world war ii, how is that a failure? that makes no sense at all. last week we also saw the passage of the choice act, to repeal and replace substantive portions of the dodd frank regulation bill and health care bill the senate will bring that up for a vote. if that's failure, i'm sick of failing that way. >> thanks for joining me. >> appreciate it. >> coming up, max bacchus will tell us

and this is when one of their own, an opera singer named elizabeth taylor greenfield, came up from philadelphia, black singer, to sing. and the hall in which she was to sing did not have a segregated section. and so the black elite were turned away and told that they couldn't enter. so they raised a brouhaha and were finally allowed to get in. so that is to show the confusion. the real whimsy that operated in new york for the black elite and for all black new yorkers. for the remainder, for my next half of the talk i'm going to focus on this area which is something that dana asked me to do, and i'm going to be focusing specifically on three sites. one is broadway, another is lawrence street which was parallel to thompson street north of houseton, and the third is -- and that's the lawrence street school. and the third is the african grove theater which was located on mercer street. and i want to show two things. one, the way in which distance and proximity still obtained in this area, and the other is i think i see a way to also point out while i'm talking about place and what happened in certa

though t-bill money is going out of debt and going into assets like mergers and acquisitions and greenfieldprojects, some of that must be is coming here to colorado in investment. at the end of the day, that investment is supporting jobs. now, when it goes into areas that are sensitive like the internet backbone, i say there's a reason to push back on chinese investment. but on most industry that is are not sensitive, i welcome the job-supporting investment. i think it's been a big positive for the economy. >> going back on trade. purposedly excluded china. >> right. >> do you have a sense for china's capacity to fill that void? >> that's a good question and one that economists and policymakers are thinking about these days. i believe hillary clinton disavowed and pivot to asia. this was just not an economic pivot to asia, this was going to be a pivot in hard power as well. a considerable part of the tpp was a security agreement in effect setting the rules of the road for the region without china specially on environment and labor and to some degree health and safety. so, you know, by pulli

awf may have a little less in the greenfield than what we thought, by microsoft getting in the spaced helps to expand the broader market and we think the overall adjustable market is bigger for aw s, even though they may lose a couple points or market share for microsoft. on the retail side like i said with walmart, i think the advantage that amazon has is tied to same day, same-hour shipping and all the data they're collecting and it's giving them a position where they're in a escape velocity on the retail side. >> michael, you're making a lot of waves today appreciate you coming on thank very much. >>> looking broader as we've been discussing the lf continue today with many of the tech names under pressure is the sector still a safe bet or is the downside to continue let's bring in portfolio manager and brian muller so i'll start with you brian, a lot of people were looking for some sort of pull back, these stocks some of the big cap tech names have multiplied and tripled the rate of the overall market this year does it look like a healthy correction or something worrisome? >> we f

country when you are paying a lot of tax and having regulatory red tape, that discourages not only greenfieldrages any kind of investment in the country. mostly the's question of removing impediments and coupling that with the normal benefits of the u.s., a huge population base, wonderful market, open access to it once you are here, highly educated workforce, those are the kind of fundamental factors that were always at work but are now supplemented with the improvements in business climate created by president trump. you have plans to cut taxes and reform taxes. there is a lot of euphoria about that. what do you say to would be investors who say let's wait to see if that happens. it looks delay from what we originally thought last year. the administration has very little control over the timing. that requires activity by the congress. we seem to be making good progress on health care reform. that is really the prerequisite to getting the tax reform and acted. the first -- and acted - enacted. about the trade agreements, where are we right now? on nafta? where are we in the process of renegot
