but i think that goes both ways. i don't think that we can be asked to constantly be out in the open, be transparent, and to do something so forward leaning and always on the record when we're constantly having to compete with anonymous sources that weren't in the room, that aren't part of the process, and can frankly make up anything in the world they want to because we can't prove a negative. and so if we have to compete with that constantly, i think that is a really difficult situation. and i thinknk it's a very big disservice to the american people that thereso aren't more credible sourcing, and i think some of the bigger outlets have come to the problem, but now anybody with a computer can be a journalist. and you're constantly kind of having to juggle the differences of real journalism and not. but i do think that the anonymous sourcing is a really big problem, and something that as much as we can move away from, we should. >> april, why don't you make a point and we'll turn to the floor. >> i wanted to make a p

he's going to bear that accountability and i think to call it. bush's trumps katrina is maybe a little overstated but we haven't seen the end of what's happening yet in puerto rico i mean there could be health outbreaks the hospitals really still are not functioning people can't get around this still no electricity so i think we have yet to see the full dimensions of the tragedy that's unfolding there lonnie i know donald trump for a long time he is a sucker for compliments and students in the book and this is a personal defect on something well i you know obviously the idea of someone liking complements maybe not unusual but i think in his case he seems to really thrive on it he seems to really gain energy from it you know the adulation the praise he gets at these campaign style rallies when he goes out around the country . definitely feel him but i think the bigger question becomes larry what is the president's ability to execute on the basic things that he's going to be required to do to do well in office and certainly disaster response is one

but i do think this. i do think this. i wish him well. i really believe he's going to do the right thing for the country. he's going to vote for tax cuts because we desperately need tax cuts to put our people back to work. we need tax cuts also to be able to compete with other countries. you know what? i hope bob -- i really believe that bob cork ser going to do the right thing also. yes, go ahead. >> mr. president, do you feel that -- >> reporter: i can't hear you. i can't what? say it again? >> reporter: [ inaudible question ]. >> well, senator flake did vote with me, i understand, it was about 91 or even more than that. from that standpoint good. i think i'll be boosted in arizona because he's very unpopular. i think the fact that he did it the way he did it probably i mean i'm very high on arizona. i love the people. they like me. they like security at the border. all of the things. but i think i'm probably helped greatly in arizona by what happened with senator flake i don't think they do that. i really know that they want tax cuts.

for diplomacy and for for compromise i think it will be important to have international oversight over the areas which are presently in conflict this is a conflict that cannot be forgotten there are people who die every day and so i would think peacekeeping would be a very good thing for you for ukraine but what do you think it's going to take to actually come to a compromise where all parties agree on and are happy. well i think it's a combination of things it's important that the. shooting on the frontline stops and so there are a number of confidence building measures that could be taken in terms of less military presence now from the standpoint and they will be keen to see that there is more control over the border between russia and ukraine and so i think the compromise probably is that they won't be a fool solution or a resolution of the issue of the ukraine russia border immediately but they would be a pass that leads there and in the meantime in the. last measures that limit the presence of the military and possibly measures on the on the other side of the front line since the

but i really don't think that's the case. should this cause a reorganization of the intelligence community? and i've lived through so many of those, you know, i wouldn't think so. you know, they rarely do any good. but you don't have to worry. sooner or later my old boss said never throw away an old chart, they're all going to come back. so it's going to happen anyway, don't worry. >> george, anything you want to add? >> well, i certainly don't want to use terms like chaotic or embarrassing to say this. i would say, however, based on what i've read about the process -- and i'm relying largely on work that's been done in the "the washington post" and "the new york times" and among others -- it sounds to me as if the process was irregular, not the normal approach to this. so normally when you reach a national intelligence judgment of some kind, there's a national intelligence council umbrella under which that occurs. and there's a formal coordination process. and all the people that would reasonably have a role to play by virtue

i think michael is exactly right on the 20/20 day. i don't think it is a meaningful date. and i don't think that based on the statements, is meant to be a significant date. in his mind. but, i do think he wants to go beyond not losing taiwan before he leaves office. as i said, i think it is focused on one china. they have been trying for a long time. long before they came into office to get consensus in taiwan to get to one china. i don't think that has changed. i think it has become somewhat more problematic and in a way, more urgent.so yes, i think he wants a legacy but i don't know how to define it beyond what i have just said. >> i mean, dennis, you and i were both in a meeting recently in beijing. there was a expression of some concern among the chinese participants about the trend of development in taiwan. it was very much in line with this point that alan was making. not about hard independence but what they call soft independence. changing the rules of the game in a very gradual but discrete and very meaningful way that alter the perceptions of the status of taiwan

beholden to a bank and i take seriously i think monetary of the united states of the policy i mean i think cornel west. i sat side by side with cornel west and had a lots of criticisms of the democratic party i still think i think at the end of the day he is not a democratic party afraid of the pro israel lobby and i think the party brock obama just championed there are a nuclear deal of the center for american progress and democrats voted for it so i think that's the position of the democratic party how long is the blame game for the election loss going to go on i am and so i think democrats i would hope it would end soon. it's been a year is the time the party got over i think i actually think the vast majority of the people in the democratic party bernie sanders supporters hillary clinton suppressor reporters are actually over it if you look at the primaries that have happened over the last several years several months democratic party primaries and lots of people voted for barack bernie sanders are voting for moderate candidates john aasif one amongst millennium goals they came ou

i don't think it's different. i think it's faster. i think it's even more aggressive. we have done things, newspapers, have done things like set up old truth squad operations. we no longer wait the way we did when i started for two or three days to evaluate whether a politician is telling the truth. we try to do it immediately. we set up systems to do it immediately. on the other hand, i do say it's sometimes easier to check things today. the internet may have perils but also has great gifts. >> it's hard to check ally that quickly, isn't? >> if the president says that he cut a program by half a billion dollars, i don't think -- >> that's easy. >> that's easy. that's actually 90% of the things i think you're talking about. that's sort of easy. you just challenging and you report them out and you lay it out. >> marty, when the president dismisses some of your best reporting as fake news, and when, according to many polls, from 30-40% of the american people are buying into that description, how do you do with that? how do you fight back? >> we do our job. i'm sorry, i rea

office and i think. yeah personally i resent him for speaking out now if it was something he hadn't spoken up about when he was president we had him for two terms he had a chance i think he did well but now we've got to lie on the bed that we've made. absolutely all the time yeah i think there's a difference right trumps version of fake news that is news he doesn't agree with. but i think there is misinformation there's a lot of misinformation certainly happening and i think that's the burden of having so many news channels that have to compete with the late night shows do you think we will be better off when we just. leave brinkley. three networks none of which could be labeled one way. well as a difficult time then right like it was. you know not we had different issues that not all citizens were treated fairly you know. they reported on that and that's true of the king big joe mccarthy that's true that's true but i feel like they were covering it when tragedies were happening right i mean i think now w

i do not think it is different, i think it is faster, i think it is even more aggressive. we have done things, newspapers have done things like set up hold truth squad operations. we no longer wait the way that we did when i started, for 2-3 days to evaluate whether a politician is telling the truth, we try to do it immediately. we set up systems to do it immediately. it is sometimes easier to check things today, the internet may have perils but it also has great gifts. for example if a president says he is going to get a program by half a billion, i do not think that is easy. anything that is 90% of the things you're talking about. it is easy, you just challenge him, you reported out and you lay it out. kalb: marty, when the president dismisses some of your best reporting as fake news, when according to many polls, from 30-40% of the american people are buying into that description, how do you deal with that? how do you fight back? marty baron: we do our job. i realize they you're looking for something more, but i do not think there is a lot more to it. the president on hi

i think it's all the time. haven't done that in a while. much of it comes from what you've done before, but it's always trying to keep ahead and trying to keep new, i think. and a final word on books. if you said to people around the world 20 or 30 years ago british cookbooks, they would laugh, wouldn't they? chuckles. as you'vejust done! they don't laugh any more, do they? no, they don't. i think britain now is considered, certainly london, and most of the uk, one of the food countries of the world. you know, alongside france, italy, spain, i'd say. pockets of america, japan i think, and tokyo especially, to me, is a huge food capital. but no one would have predicted where the london food scene... and i think tv‘s as much of that as anything. i think tv‘s changed it. i think travel‘s changed it, the fact that people travels frequently and so cheaply now. people know what good food is, so they expect it now when they come to the uk, and i'm glad we can deliverfinally! chuckles. angela hartnett, thanks very much

when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart a says c.n.n. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. it is not just you know a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society from the part of the government tried to do both at nestle maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is more power couple isn't work this is all capitalism goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. despite all the efforts of the central banks to kill the economy by keeping bankers solvent when they should have been declared bankrupt years ago the index is showing that interest rates are going to go higher this means two things number one property market's going to crash and number two bond market's going to crash. the need. that. russian prosecutor ge

i think at the time right. we saw bill clinton do it in oklahoma city barack obama down and down in charleston and i think finally when president trump went to a puerto rico today he did fill the role that a president that was good for him to be there heartwarming for the people to be there i just wish it didn't take two weeks for him to discover that puerto ricans are americans and they deserve the same attention the people of texas and florida deserve bill press stay right there we'll have more followers starting right after the break. about your sudden passing i phone lee just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last turn. to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each spring. but then my feeling started change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be

>> i think that brings up a great point. i am in the ecosystem. i will tell you more and more as things go to the cloud, that ecosystem is starting to lose its grip on me i don't need the laptop anymore. i have google to do that for me free with photos, videos, and the like i have music through google now on my monthly music. so there's less and less. >> all the same things giving our tech companies an expanded multiple, so apple home, the autonomous, you don't think apple is not part of tomorrow's car argument and discussion? >> i agree, but what's the -- why isn't it going to be one of the top places all along >> the problem is they're sect movers >> does it matter? >> sure it does. >> no it doesn't here they are they're dominant in phones. they're dominant in music. >> they were horrible for a while until they came out -- >> but she's right, though, it doesn't matter whether they replicate the sam suns, people wait for it, and they'll do it after samsung. >> but it's going to take a long time between the phone and when apple home all of a sudde

that i think things will be better for them but i do think that in midterm elections particular that first midterm election of a president's new term which is what we're coming into now a lot of it is a referendum on the president and what the president has or has not been doing nina lanny thank you both so much for your time today thank you thank you thanks for joining me on this edition of politics you remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page treaty of kings they exist over the get use the politics. and that's all for this edition of politic. about your sudden passing i phone lee just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to view those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral the

the planning i think that that was a missed opportunity i think that we we inherited a city that of course was a colonial city. and we had a chance to begin to think about how do we sort of become urban africans if i can sort of phrase it that way and what sort of african city if they such a thing do we want to be in i think we didn't have that conversation i think that of course there were other pressing things we worrying about education we were going about industry we were going about the economy but we were not thinking about these things in the way that we now think about them that the urban infrastructure or any sort of infrastructure that you're putting down of course is coherent with all of the other things that you're planning and so now i think we're realizing that that holistic approach which we are beginning to to adopt was something that we probably should have looked at really early on and the end effects effects a clear effects a clear i can recall from from the seventy's certainly that my kenyan friends if you ask them where they're from they never really said nairobi they

what i think is in fact -- obviously, i am a board member, but i think airbnb did well.irbnb is a positive example. i think it still scaled very fast. that's still the way you build a globally impactful transformation. if you don't do that, then you are not the company that has impact. but to add in the social questions as you are doing it. emily: what's the job of investors along the way to make sure they are checking that behavior? reid: the job of investors is you are in this intense cycle of this exponential curve. let's help bring resources, questions, people to you that bring in these other voices as well. i think that is one of the things my partnership does well. emily: something else you are doing, a 50-50 gender ratio from the people you are featuring and you were outspoken in the midst of this rash of sexual harassment in tech and you ask people to sign a decency pledge. curious if you are doing anything to take that forward because while a deceit pledge is great, saying you are decent does not make you are. reid: to stand up publicly and say i will not do bus

>> well, i think they should. and i think they will. i think a lot of things are happening. you know it's going to right after that. but i don't even like them leaving, butly say this -- but i will say this, i want to get it by the end it was year but i would be very disappointed if it took that long. they will send the bill back to the house. people go and make 200 suggestions as opposed to maybe no suggestions, because it's a great bill. it's going to be a great bill. and we're adjusting. we're adjusting so that there's no way that the middle class doesn't greatly benefit. every once in a while there's a method under which, you know, it could be that some people in the middle class won't benefit as much as we want them to benefit, and we're making certain adjustments, but i think we're going to have it sooner rather than later. >> paul ryan did an interview this week and said you are insisting that they have a fourth bracket. it is on your insistence that they have a fourth bracket. i know you are very focused on the middle class. but do you want to raise taxes on the rich

i think a lot of people run into that though i think people are she good looking they think i don't know if i'm good looking or i don't tall and so i think people think that i'm sort of like flighty or whatever or should we be paying more attention to pay more attention to the fact that i think network television might be back on tell me something people don't know about you i love to write oh i love to write you ever think of writing an episode of this is us i wrote an episode of smallville. i think often about writing an episode of this is i don't know i write larry i don't know if i'm a good writer i don't know how i'm good enough to write that show that show is so intricate and detailed and i don't know if i want to should write something and show it to them i'm going to tell him that you said that please i will do the work you know work out and if it don't so what so. here's some social media questions fill addison o. for since you were green arrow in smallville have you brushed up you on your archery skills in recent years not in recent years but when i was on the show. they w

i think he's demonstrated that. i think he'll continue to do that in this process. if you want me to get down into the weeds on specific policy, i don't think we're there yet. right now we want to lead the effort on bringing our country together and offering comfort to those that have been hurt over the last several days. again, i'm going to take this as the last one. >> some talk some of the iran nuclear deal -- [inaudible] >> i'm not sure about the nobel peace prize process. certainly not as it pertains to that. i think we've been very clear what our position is on the deal. that hasn't changed because some people may receive an award. thanks, guys. have a good day. >> the supreme court heard a case dealing with legislative districts in wisconsin after a lower court concluded that states republican drawn map constituted republican gerrymandering. you can hear the argument tomorrow. and an interview with former first lady michelle obama. she's interviewed by tv create or shonda rhimes host on cspan saturday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. >> this weekend on american history t

well i think it. makes us think how populous some nationalism sometimes we think nationalism is i think of the past but it can be reactivated. so it serves as that the past is never far behind and also the dangers of populists politics because it is creates a fracture since in society everything becomes. black and white and i think it's better to the thing about. how pluralism and the liberal destructors all of us to have these conflicts of interest and different sensibilities. they can be negotiated in you know in a better way so i think in many ways the cut on the some this is this this independent this movement of. is similar to brics it or two other. moments that have are an element of taking back control. that is so delusional in some ways but we're seeing this across a lot as you just mentioned this national is a look at i want to ask you about this catalonia is just another version of what we've seen with the election of donald trump with rex it does this continue to snowball basically not just

i think i think that's certainly true i think that's a concern at the moment especially we think uploading it for example but you know. to see it from their point of view they're not i mean being mistreated. by the spanish government they're also being mistreated by european union and. even if they were successful in their quest for independence over recent days or also statements from the european union that they wouldn't be allowed back into the club as such they wouldn't be allowed back in the european union as your e.u. member states in their own right much in the way that say scotland would not be conceivably allowed back into the e.u. is a member state in its own right and in a way that that that interesting tension i think takes us into some of the broader debates about populism in the west and this particularly in the u.k. for example this very face the fence of the e.u. as a bastion of democracy respecting human rights and up holding public opinion when you look at some of the areas where that that view has been strongest for example scotland pursuing independence but then to also

well i think that there is quite a lot of political will for unity i think it perhaps differs between the two parties but i also think that the obstacles to an agreement which actually works and therefore brings the approval engagement of others is quite problematic you know this isn't the first time that there's been an attempt over the last decade two to forge palestinian unity i agree with most of our group here about the pressure i think from ordinary people the situation in gaza two million people living in isolation extremely difficult circumstances is intolerable nevertheless the the constraints on the parties what they can agree to whether others will accepted remains very powerful on the palestinian side yes a will to make change but very serious obstacles still to overcome before a unity agreement can actually hold to a very difficult reality what are the greatest obstacles now mr black. well i think you i think it's been made clear already on what's happening because there is extremely important today and yesterday. the convening of this meeting. really is is a significant

as much as i think men are always welcome to help i don't think that is any different. oes it center men. no. i would say also in terms of the core principles. even before the gold -- the election they just did not relate to her. they are ready for laverne cox to be president. they just cannot relate to the glass ceiling kind of metaphor. i don't care that they don't relate to her. i agree. call me when you get old and fat and we will talk. we will see about that. a real thing than to keep bringing up for women who are in their early 20s now. they only became the political ascension with obama basically. they think you are supposed to have this incredible rush of amazing feelings about your president that is something that i think is frustrating for a lot of us. looking at them. in demanding more purity from the candidates. shortly after the election i talked to a friend who voted for trump when asked her about the nasty women and on and on her response was i don't know why that stuff just doesn't bother me. i'm no reply to that. what would you have said. this is a quest

i think first of all thank you very much for having me but i think that . if the u.n. be getting out of it down evidence right just looking at the evidence that it has and proud of it in regard to the coalition killing and maiming attacking schools and hospitals then the coalition deserves to be on the list i think from our perspective and violations continue and there's sort of enough evidence to show that even in twenty seven thousand to the period after this reporting period we've documented more airstrikes where there's been very high children casualty tolls we've looked at in twenty seven thousand the coalition hitting school or so from our perspective coalition rightly so deserves to be a u.n. secretary general first as do many in their party to the conflict in yemen deserving to be on the list doesn't always mean you get to make it on the list though several of the un veto power supply coalition members with the weapons kate how much support do you see within the u.n. for this listing. i think there's growing support for this listing within the un and i think se

we built a call center, recruited a few drivers, and i think that's how it all begin. uited the first 20 drivers of go-jek. those 20 recruited the next hundred, 200 and so on. haslinda: it was slow going in the initial years. for a long time it did not take off. nadiem: it was a call center. it took 30 minutes to get a go-jek because we had to call to order and then call the driver one by one to find the nearest driver, so it was a slow growth rate, but it survived those three years without any funding whatsoever. haslinda: is it true you started with six personal phones and basically you took calls from family and friends? nadiem: yeah, basically. we started marketing it on our personal facebook pages and to our friends and family. they started using it, and it spread organically from there. we did not have any money for online marketing, so it was all word-of-mouth. haslinda: you didn't have any money. it forced you to work at other startups to keep your startup going. nadiem: yeah, because i had to make a living, so i can only do go-jek part time. i had a full team o

i think we're seeing the tip of the iceberg. i don't think we've come even close to really talking about what's going on in this country in terms of sexual harassment. it's not just these, you know, powerful men. it's a lot of other people who have maybe a little less power, little less high profile but are doing a lot of damage. so i think that -- and also the last thing i'll say is, you know, until women can actually do this and not worry about losing their job, then we haven't -- we're not there. and i would say we're still not there. most of the women who complained about bill o'reilly or roger ailes have not been able to get jobs. the only one i can think of is megyn kelly. so the most powerful woman was able to move on and the rest of them have not been able to. so what does that say? it still says to women -- >> didn't she do that after he was gone, kirsten, didn't she talk about that after he was gone? >> i can't remember exactly the timeline. >> bill o'reilly? >> i think she was still there when she complained -- >> she

that would be quite beneficial for that i think the market can decide and i think we have to give people more options when it comes to health care but the way that it's going right now it just does not seem like it's going to be done because of g.o.p. obstruction along with democratic party obstruction and we're going to get a short term do you think you know definitely a short term deal but whether they have to do this but the regular budget thing first before they legally can get to tax reform and they want to do tax reform this calendar year i can't imagine it takes months to do these things because every lobbyist wants to get in they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to change one. in a paragraph that alters the interpretation you didn't know so it's a big deal and many people would get in on it and i can't imagine that it's going to get done this year and you look at what's happening with the opioid epidemic as far as big pharmaceutical companies paying over one hundred four million dollars to politicians they're listening to the lobbyists as opposed to the constituents it's a ma

i think now i would do that but if it was planned out. ial? >> i didn't have a plan b and i wouldn't class myself as talented. i think you have to work for talent. i i couldn't really play guitar or sing and i learned how to do both. i couldn't write, and i learned how. i think persistence is worst more than talent. work great and persistence. like, i came to london and was mott the best singer-songwriter or the best performer in the scene i was in. and even at the time where i got signed, i probably wasn't the best but the more and more you work at something you give yourself no choice but to get better. so i think persistence for me was the key. that's what i tell any kid nowadays that comes up and says how do i become a performer? i'm, like, don't worry if you can't really sing or play. i couldn't really when i first started out, but i was persistent with it. i never thought i would be doing anything else. i never thought i would play stadiums but i thought i would make a living doing music even playing a pub show and getting 100 at the

i think it's a very good question i think part of the challenge is that people see conflicting reports and then they don't necessarily know which one to believe and therefore that's why it's so important to keep on pushing this argument and demanding that this course of action should be taken the other aspect which i think we need to take into account here is the role of companies and businesses who have been moving in a very strong low carbon direction to the missions and the role of businesses across the world is incredibly important in this and i think people get very excited when the electric car has moved from being a very small vehicle which wasn't a particularly attractive vehicle to a new tesla people saying you know i'd like to own one of these and the rolls which is come through now where people think they can have an electric car which performs extremely effectively and is not going to cost significantly more of a patrol car the same caliber in those circumstances people i think start to be one round mole we are seeing at issues changing and there's undoubtedly a generationa

some extent i think because i think that there is a lot of. planted development that has that has taken place. if you look at the city some parts of the city are actually very very filthy garbage collection incomplete road. construction that's actually not been planned properly so yes i think that they'd be horrified with it what are your biggest regrets personally of opportunities nairobi might have missed since independence oh my i think i think that you know just the. the planning i think that that was a missed opportunity i think that we we inherited a city that of course was a colonial city. and we had a chance to begin to think about how do we sort of become urban africans if i can sort of phrase it that way and what sort of african city if they such a thing do we want to be in i think we didn't have that conversation i think that of course there were other pressing things we worrying about education we were being about industry we were going about the economy but we were not thinking about these things in the way that we now think about

jack: i think it will narrow but not that quickly. the market is getting a little more correct than the dots. i don't think we will get three hikes next year. i think that number, that terminal number is going to be lower. one of the things that benefit s the u.s. economy a lot was that the dollar did not run up this year like people thought it would. i think the administration and the fed are aware of that. if they start raising, and as you describe, that differential starts to kick in where it starts to bring a high dollar, they will see that as a bad thing. jonathan: looking at the situation in europe at the moment, these people out of their talking about shorting german bunds, how difficult will that be? i look at the current program -- seven times net issuance is with the ecb is currently buying in europe. if you look at the adjusted net flow of what will come out of europe even next year, many countries will be negative territory. the ecb function on the bloomberg, the adjusted net flow as it stands right now. germany -- the ecb

and i checked i think that is just not a cent were found to be true. true i believe is false and many fact checks and maybe you're checking a weird website but this is still no different than there are men on the poll the lack of progress on e-mail or every topic because i checked her it checked a lot of her political back she often was the she got full veracity and so she was rader's an honest politician but for only half the time by politico you just said more than bernie sanders yeah ok case closed i did it so isn't it time given all of this to stop is there about how it's a crocodile clearly two years of i mean you've been very loyal to her for many many years haven't you haven't i have of going over the last one a game why i mean i have to say i don't actually understand why we're even talking about this just to produce the book that's created some more blood in the car i don't know as a created something but she has some criticisms of sanders it's a fact the book is doing really well whole millions of people seem to be interested she has crowds fo

>> again, i can't tell you what our allies think but what i can tell you. >> you just did. you said our allies are all in the same place and told us what you think. now you're telling us you don't know what they think. >> we are very unified in sending a joint message to north korea that we are all using our maximum economic pressures and diplomatic pressures to get them to change their behavior. >> do you disagree with our allies that who all say virtual everyone that iran is complying? i know this hearing is not about iran but do you agree with them when they say that? >> senator, i would refer to the iaea and the state department with respect to iran's compliance with the jcpoa. >> miss thornton, respond to that if you would and also, does it concern you that we are working with the chinese as we should and in trying to work to get north korea to change its policy that our allies, some of our allies question whether we are reneging on a something we already did on nuclear weapons just a year and a half, two years ago? >> yes, thank you. i'm not the iran expert obviously.

i think -- >> because? >> i just don't think ift fits. i look at countries like my favorite, the arab of emirates or saudi arabia or isreal actually having a common interest, which is really hard to say publicly. it's not been very well received a lot of times. i think those common interests are starting to build and so i think the status quo in the middle east will never go back to the way it was. i go back to the disaster he just talked about with the kurds. to me, it's hard to argue with what they've done. they have actually shown responsibility and defended their territory. again, that's going to be tough because we want -- everybody is wanting to go back to the way it used to be. i have a tough time thinking that's ever going to happen. s so i think, and again, you'll hear secretary tillerson say wald, maybe you better stick to your own lane. i get it. and i know they're thinking about this, but we have not articulated a common view of what the end state may be sometime. and i think people have this tendency to want to yearn for the m

i think kerry's wrong i think you know there are a lot of things that harry says that i agree with but his price target on gold is not one of them i think he has too much confidence in the u.s. dollar and doesn't really understand the nature of money and the fact that of all the things that harry believes are going to happen happen that that is very bearish for the dollar because the federal reserve is going to print a lot of money he's looking for massive deflation but i don't think the fed is going to allow that to happen they have the ability to stop that by printing money and that's exactly what they're going to do you know early before i got on you were talking about these tax cuts and one of the reasons that gold has gone down a little bit recently is the markets are anticipating the tax cut and that's also been a positive for the dollar but what traders don't seem to understand is these tax cuts are very bearish for the dollar and they are bullish for gold because all that's happening is the government will be replacing tax revenue with debt right so we're not cutting the size o

so i think there's an obsession. now that it's not unique to donald trump, i felt like barack obama talked about inheriting a bad economy from bush more than i would have liked. i think donald trump has gotten to a point he's not able to pass a proactive agenda so all that is left is to teardown -- >> that's a diplomatic way of saying what? what are you saying? >> no i'm -- >> tell the truth. what are you saying? >> i think that you can't get something done, you can't proactively get something down -- i think he is trying to sabotage him. >> and as we saw by executive orders, they can be overturned. as we saw he's overturning a lot of am executive orders obama put in place. is president trump just trying to undo former president obama's legacy? >> yes. he feels that somehow makes him feel big. it's been stunning to see what he said. i mean it started with the birther movement with donald trump, and then the fact he's claiming that he was wiretapped by barack obama. and now trump is making up things that barack obama w

i don't think much is going to lap. after that in the holiday season i suspect josh lip ton will be showing us the lines lines are big, apple goes higher lines are small, apple goes lower. >> we like situations where we can sell some premium into events it's very hard when options premiums are low here we're buying dated and we're selling. that's the way you can find some ways to collect. >>> up next, intel hitting the highest level in nearly 17 years today. the charts are pointing to more gains. we will break that down. >>> if you have a question for one of the traders, you can send us a tweet if it's nice, we'll read it later. much more "options action" straight ahead rific. your kids go to college and you start trading. >>yeah, 5 years already. 5 years, hmm. you ever call your broker for help? >>once, when volatility spiked... and? >>by the time they got me an answer, it was too late. td ameritrade's elite service team can handle your toughest questions right away- with volatility, it's all about your risk distributio

just one last point i don't even think that what mccraw wants i don't think that germany will beable to go along with that in the end i don't think that angle america will be able to go along with that in the end because i think it's very controversial within her own conservative bloc especially in bavaria where the sister party to merkel's party where many people also want to have this europe of the regions as they call it they don't want to shift everything to brussels from kauffman please address the arguments you've just heard but also couldn't we argue that austria if it positions itself closer to those central eastern european countries might even play a mediating role that would allow for a reintegration of these different blocs possible but then a lot of these central is new countries will have to change their policy towards europe and to join again the that the way and the policies of of good arguments and and the sheer innocence. necessitate in the bloc i have the feeling that it's a reaction to those elections in austria will be that the that we will have more europe i

>> well, i think bush then name-calls. calls people nativists, and he goes into all these sorts of things. trump is crasser at this, or more direct. i would prefer the direct. i'm fine with the direct approach. i think that sometimes trump punches below his weight with some of the tabloid type of stuff he's gotten into. but people want the direct back-and-forth here on things, leaving aside some of the crass stuff. >> this week brought in the politicization of a soldier's death, and i think that really is what got me thinking, "is this something different"? you heard people on both sides of the aisle cringe that that's where we are now. >> it is a cringing moment, and the fact that the conversation was about a telephone call and not the service of the four officers who were killed in niger is i think a real disgrace for the country. we should be honoring those families and those men. and this whole thing is another distraction. everything donald trump does always distracts him and us from what it is we should be talking ab

i think that's what was going on here. mean, the comments he made, whether it had to do with immigration or whether it had to do with economic or national security policy, is all about fighting the ground. trump has gone after the establishment. he's gone after -- who's the establishment? george bush is the establishment. so donald trump has gone after him. barack obama went after him all the time, blamed him for everything, for years and years and years, but bush sort of said, well, with i expei expect. that's the other side, they're going to come after me, okay. but this is my party and i'm going to fight for my party. and i think that's where he saw -- i think that's why he decided to stand up and fight. >> yeah, i agree with rick. he's standing up to fight for the heart and soul of the republican party, but i think it's even deeper than that. he's fighting for the soul of the country. >> exactly. >> we're at this place now where there's a question. you hear this nationalist refrain, blood and soil, that's what the count

i think 10 years -- i mean, for whether theft or something minor, i think it's absolutely right. just say how proud i am of the philadelphia eagles, not just because they're 6-1, but because, if you look at -- to david's point, they're setting a gold standard on character in the nfl right now, which i think is really incredible. malcolm and his activity -- if you look at carson wentz and his character and his leadership in only his second year -- it's easy to forget that he's only a second-year quarterback. and chris long donating his entire salary to education and making a difference. these eagles are extraordinary, not just on the field, but off the field, and i think it's amazing. >> the other thing that's amazing is the bipartisan coalescence around criminal justice reform. >> yeah. >> right. >> that's amazing. the clean slate act that these players were advocating for passed the state senate unanimously. >> yeah. >> right? with nobody voting against. so that's just a remarkable accomplishment, following up on the war on crime and the war on drugs and all these other wars tha

then i think. the person for european russian relations and especially german russian relations will brighten up considerably while i'm mr selmer let's keep our fingers crossed even though we perhaps do not have many causes for alstom isn't at this point of time anyway i really appreciate your being here with us today on to our viewers please share your comments are now twitter facebook and youtube pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here on the walls apart. peacekeeping way it was only about maintaining peace between states as an essentially symbolic value when you have militias when you have criminal groups. the symbol is not enough you need robust force. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decades long dead. studying so hard it requires strong. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and paci dead sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the us. out loud. when obama was a lot of fun. it is going to. be. welcomed

because i think it's a very important topic. i did have the opportunity to go with the president to the u.n. general assembly last week. it really was an incredible experience. sitting in the general assembly and listening to his speech. he also signed last week in new york an executive order, which gives the treasury department the most extensive powers on sanctions that we have ever had. and specifically, it allows us at treasury to sanction any financial institution or other entity that does any trade or facilitates any trade on a go-forward basis with north korea. so these are very important powers. we'll be careful in using them. but we think they are going to have a very big impact. and, again, i emphasize, that's on a going-forward basis. >> have they been exercised yet? >> they haven't. okay? we did have sanctions this week that was additional sanctions that we were allowed to do under the executive order. but as it relates to financial institutions, as i've told my counterparts, it will be on a go-forward basis. obviousl

they do have a sense, i think, a gut level understanding of what things aren't going well, and i do think the international environment has become sufficiently constrained to the point that, you know, i never heard someone in the context of my campaign come up to me and say i'm really concerned about the erosion of the norms based rules based global order. i represent northeast wisconsin. in the wake of orlando and everything we're seeing abroad, is it safe to go to a packers game? i heard that hundreds of times. and i would submit that if our position in the real or the state of american leadership has languished to the point that it reaches lamb bow field wen avenue a problem that your average voter can understand. and i think trump tapped into that quite effectively. but i would also agree with the ambassador that there's some good news in this survey. to the extent that we have broad bipartisan majorities, 66% of democrats, 65% of republicans who supportive american leadership, that's a great thing. and digging into the numbers on trump supporters, only 4% of trump core supporters act
