jordyn holman, an island situation is very different. what's it like to land on an island and wherever you look there's no fresh water, no power, no infrastructure of any kind. >> it was particularly eye opening because these islands are tours designations. they are used to seeing palm trees and green grass. it was very baron. all the trees stripped of their leaves. houses were flattened, schools were gone. it's just not what you would expect for this island. >> i'm familiar with the national marks down there. there's a mix of kind of wilderness and sort of built up area in st. john. how did you find it? >> so the trees are all over the streets. it's just kind of mixed up. and so electricity polls are also down. cars kind of everywhere. just a lot of disarray. >> how is the infrastructure and the caribbean first responders dealing with this full island disaster. >> so the difference between having a hurricane on an island is that the people can't evacuate. it's more set aside. so it did take a few days for fema and other first responders

holman, bob holman and is writing down whatd nixon is telling him to nixon as saying keep inertia now working on the south vietnamese. anyway we can monkeywrench johnson's initiative. >> monkeywrench meant? >> throw a monkey wrench into the gears and stop it. a rainy day like today, down at the beach and a potted jigsaw puzzle because there's nothing else to do and you put thes puzzle pieces together in aat stuff comes out and you go away, but your brother-in-law comes up behind you and starts putting a few pieces of the puzzle together and eventually gets assembled. that was my little piece of the puzzle and i was glad to contribute. >> a crucial piece it was. one thing that strikes me has been the extraordinary way you manage to remain dispassionate and yet haven't edge and seek involvement in what's going on. he did not live all of this history, and >> many of us have lived much of it. for a generation, i've read the book feeling as though i was reliving my life. did you feel that way at all?wa did you feel personally involved in the larger events? >> i was in college duringllege w

joining us is greg holman, government affairs lobbyist for watchdog group public citizen.ng to me about this thing that continues to confuse me. >> glad to be back here, rachel. >> what would it mean for the inaugural committee to act in accordance to the charter in do they have the same charter like from the irs? >> it would be similar to what we have seen for other inaugural committees. they set up -- they set up the organization with the irs. and so, we do know that its main purpose is to facilitate the inauguration of the 45th president. that's its purpose. the rest of the charter even though i have not seen it, i have been trying to get a hold of it myself, but would very likely read something like, and the funds won't be used in violation of the tax code. so they won't be used to set up a for-profit corporation, for example. so, what they're talking about when they're saying in compliance with the charter is exceedingly ambiguous and there is room to do almost anything at all with those funds. you've seen that. and you have documented that. some of the funds have bee

. >> joining us on the phone from san juan puerto rico is jordyn holman. not since katrina have we heard that kind of plea for help. who's right? donald trump said the relief effort is going quite well. and the mayor of san juan said it's dire. who's right? >> i've been talking to a lot of citizens down here in the past few days in san juan and other rural towns on puerto rico and it really does sound like the mayor is right. a lot of people here just have not seen fema or felt like they were getting the delivery of promise. they are waiting in long lines, all day trying to get gas and taking money out of atms and food from the grocery stores. it's a very arduous process. >> what about the situation for schools? and for kids? because of course, it is the time they'd normally be in school. >> it is. and they're not in school. you know, the last time a major hurricane hit puerto rico in the '80s and school was out for three weeks. i was talking to some parents today, they think it might be two months. and they don't want their kids to fall behind this school

holman, christian evans, and lee he it's stepped up to -- estes stepped up to serve as pallbearers for mr. hunter n addition the storks folks at the southern funeral home arranged for military honors along with a flag and the playing of taps. i'm so inspired by the action - to matthew, justin, t.j., christian, and lee as well as others in the community who gave mr. hunter the hero sendoff that he so deserved. they didn't know this man, but they knew that every veteran deserves to die with dignity and to be honored for the sacrifices he made for our great nation. mr. speaker, i think the actions of these men that you see in the photo to my left here speak volumes of what -- what's so truly important in our country. community, country, family, god. our flag and the nation it stands for is special because of the veterans like thomas hunter who answered their call to serve without question. thousands who had given their life for that flag and this nation and they deserve our respect for their ultimate sacrifices. these young men in winfield, they get that. they got that at this funeral. i

jordyn holman with bloomberg.nk you. >> thank you. >> woodruff: in the day's other news, president trump said he'll reach across the political aisle again, this time to help pass a tax reform plan. to that end, he invited nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, the house and senate democratic leaders, to dinner tonight. he also called in republican and democratic lawmakers this afternoon to talk about cutting business and personal income tax rates. >> if we can do things in a bipartisan manner, that will be great. now, it may not work out, in which case we'll try and do it without, but i think if you look at the greatest legislation ever passed, it was done in a bipartisan manner. and the rich will not be gaining at all with this plan. we're looking for middle class, and we're looking for jobs-- jobs meaning companies. >> woodruff: the president also voiced support for a new effort by four republican senators to repeal and replace obamacare. meanwhile, independent senator bernie sanders announced his "medicare for all" pl

raising more than three hundred ninety four million dollars joining us now from cambridge dr garrett holman garrick's a research fellow at cambridge university's center for alternative finance good to have you with us dr holland what do you make of china's move here what about the timing of it well the i.c.l. market has been on fire late well over a billion dollars has been raised through i suppose just in the past couple months alone that's almost equal to the amount of venture capital that the block chain sector has attracted in five years and so it's not surprising you see regulators in markets like china raising concerns and looking to kind of slow things down a bit so is china has moved to slow down the growth of i.c.'s i think it will slow down the growth some you know the u.s. security exchange commission also recently issued some guidance and i think other regulators here in the u.k. are also looking and i suppose this is going to cause people to take some pods and do a little more diligence on whether their ice you know meets the definition of security and you know which markets th

that was what we heard from craig holman last night who knows as much about american campaign financeanyone on earth. and even though i was surprised enough to respond with just, wow, which you're not supposed to do on tv, it really does appear, no surprise, he's -- he's right. what he said last night is right. it shocked me hearing it but we talked to two different experts on this stuff today who told us, yeah, he is right. told us the same thing. there really is very little law about how an inauguration committee can spend any money left over after the shindigs. i wonder if that's why they raised triple and quadruple the amount of money they did. i mean the committee does have to fill out this one form three months later disclosing who gave more than $200, how much they gave and they have to report how much they raised overall. we have seen that. that's it. that's the end of the required reporting ever. that's how we know they raised $107 million. what they do with it is the question. after they file that one thing, anything that can be considered to fit with the mission of celebrat

craig holman, mind blowing. thank you very much.ciate you being here. >> take care. >>> i have to go think about that for a second. leave me alone. i'll be right back. well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these. and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours. whyou're not thinking clearly, so they called the fire department for us. i could hear crackling in the walls. my mind went totally blank. all i remember saying was, "my boyfrien
