i want to ask about that. let me make the point as well we have never before seen a intelligence community convene that a foreign government like russia interfered with our election. we have never seen a special counsel appointed this early into a presidency. yesterday, the president was speaking on the "u.s.s. gerald ford" and he chose to make a pitch on the ship to assembled seamen. let's take a look. >> so call that congressman. call that senator, and make sure you get it. and by the way, you can also call those senators to make sure you get health care. >> it raised a lot of eyebrows. including ben rhodes. who worked for president obama. he said this is a huge deal. obamas or bushes would never have done this. violate the the most fundamental norms separatinging military and politics. why does the president believe it was appropriate to make a political pitch like that in this forum? >> the president is committed to repealing and replacing obamacare. we have a system that's completely collapsing. it's fail

i had the goal that i wanted to be published by the time i was 30, and it came at 29, so i was rightwas really a struggle and trying to find my voice actually is what it took, just writing really bad stories before i could write the good ones. what made you decide it was thrillers and crime thrillers in particular that you wanted to write? i think really if you are a writer it kind of chooses you, what kind of stories you're going to tell. my first book i got with my agent was actually historical fiction. i grew up in georgia, i was a woman, i thought i had to write the next gone with the wind. even that, it had a lot of crime in itfor a southern historicalfiction novel. no one wanted to publish it. i asked my agent, what should i do now, and she said i think you should write whatever you want to write. i stopped thinking i had to write a certain way and i really embraced what i loved reading which was thrillers. so final question, is karin slaughter your real name? it is. i got beaten up in school a lot for it so i think i have earned it. karin slaughter, great to talk to you, many

for me, i want to keep my head in the game, i want to keep my ego low, and i want to work with steve bannon. i have a huge, enormous amount of respect for him. reporter: you said that you don't need to right the ship. that you guys are doing great work. but the president has a 38.8% approval rating in his second quarter. that is historically low. what are you going to do to change that? mr. scaramucci: that is a really good question. these polls are moving targets. we all know from statistics that sometimes the polls can be wrong. reporter: the gallup average. mr. scaramucci: ok, but we were using averages during the campaign and they said we were going to lose and we ended up winning. what i would say about polls is they are a barometric pressure reading for right now, today, but the american people are playing the long game and i think they really love the president. if you look at individual state-by-state polls, you can see the guy is doing phenomenally well. it is indicating to me personally that the president is really well loved. there seems to be a disconnection in terms of th

and i want to show two things. one, the way in which distance nd 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 certain places to point out some of the moral values underlying the happenings. so what happens, i'm going to talk a little bit about the white elite first. the white elite, of course, started downtown like everybody did, and they gradually start to move up. they're trying to flee the very thing they were creating, right? commercialization, brouhaha in the city. so they come up to the village, to st. johns park and broadway. and then at a certain point, of course, they move north of bleaker street. and so there was that phrase, you know, above bleaker street, and that's where the upper tendom, as they called, lived. and they were also in the, in to bond street, lafayette place area. so i want to read now a little passage from my book in which i talk about george foster and the way in which he capture ors broad

>> i want the president to be the president, and i want him to express the full nature of his personality. corey lewandowski used to say early on in the campaign let trump be trump. it's a little disrespectful now because he's the president, so let's let the president be the president. if he wants to talk about things like that, i'm not going to want to stop him or even be able to the stop him. i want to be able to help aid and abet his agenda. for me, i have a different personality style from the president in some ways, in other ways we're very similar. i just want there to be fairness and objectivity. and so let's see how the whole thing rolls out.

this is what i always wanted, you know? -i'm happy. : as hard as you work, i'll be there with you, okay? alex: thanks, man. have a good one. brad: thank you. ♪ lemonis: i got the sense from brad when we were in orlando that he really struggled with his sales process. so i wanted to take him and alex to namm, the country's largest music convention, and see how they do at a live event. ♪ it just so happens that a company i invested in years ago, sjc drums, is presenting at namm this year. mike: what's going on? lemonis: let me introduce you to these guys. this is brad. -mike: nice to meet you, dude. -lemonis: this is alex. i told brad and alex to pack up some of their products, bring out some samples, and sjc would make room for them. alex: grab the easels, set them up. i'm grabbing a panel. -mike: is this the product? -alex: yeah. -that's one of our panels. -mike: wow. i've never seen a sound panel in a studio with artwork on it. that's really cool. lemonis: they could put any image on it. -mike: that's insane. -lemonis: anything. mike:

i wanted to hear from you man to man. kind of thrown under the bus. simon: i was just upset at the fact that you shook on the deal, and then you went back, and you said that you weren't happy about it. damion: i honestly felt, the way you described it, it was fair. as i said, without kab in the beginning, we wouldn't be here. but at the same time, i've sold every single gazebo. simon's made every single gazebo. i think our value of the company is a lot more than yours. lemonis: i know that on the surface, you feel like you got a raw deal. i wouldn't have made the investment without them having more equity, because i can't take the risk of them being a flight risk. i need them to be so stuck to the tar that they have a lot to lose. the goal in my mind was to make sure that the people that were doing the work financially benefited the most and the people that were just investing would not get the same kind of return. kab: the offer to buy out, but i considered the value of the company was too low, and so it wasn't really an

i think we want to clear that up. i think the president made that clear in his press release on friday that we are doing very, very well. if lots of the american people are super happy. we just need to close that gap, if you will, and make that connection more forcefully. >> chris: at one of those areas with the president has said there's been a lot of fake news has been in the russia investigation and the potential for a scandal there. president trump reportedly wanted you because you are a tough street fighter like he has. is he putting together a ward staff and the white house to take on the various russia investigations? >> anthony: listen, i sort of see this two prongs as it relates to that. we want to refine our rapid response team. in some ways we want to de-escalate things and have that be a level of diplomacy. in other ways we wanted to be very hard-hitting and warlike. it sort of a blend of those two things, chris, but as it relates to specifically the russia, there are certain things i can talk about from in

yo-yo: i don't know anybody, myself included, wanted to be something like that. interesting in music is that mastering an instrument is there to serve the purpose of expression, and the purpose of doing something in music is to find your voice, so in music, there is no such thing as this is the greatest anything, because it is about learning forever and finding the most concise way of expressing something as precisely as possible. david: you began your career as a leading cellist and played for symphonies and on your own and so forth. you have now recorded 90 some albums, maybe more than that? yo-yo: i don't know, i don't keep track. david: you have won 20 grammys, so you have become a dominant figure in the classical music world, so does that put a lot of pressure on you to perform up to the highest standard every time, or do you relax a little bit? yo-yo: you know the phrase, "you are only good as your last performance." right? some of that is true because i think what you are talking about, and i don't want to belittle that, is external recognition. being a mus

i want to pay taxes and i want to get benefits because i am paying taxes, i don't want to give away fromnyone. slums in the66 city of mecca. i lived on the outskirts of one of the slums. a lot of muslims come from very poor countries to mecca and they stay. most of these legal immigrants, when they stay legally, they build their houses in the mountains illegally. their children and to the schools which create enclaves of illegal immigrants and poverty. from mecca never had a park or infrastructure in my city. mecca makes so much money out of religious tourism, and this money does not go to mecca to make it clean, to make it livable for its own people. people are too afraid to speak up against this. in a country with an absolute monarchy, speaking up about the distribution of wealth and corruption could get you in jail, arrested, or in so much trouble. brian: here's the second question that ties into this. religiousthat is a state, how have you kept your faith? you have people that are leading this country, a religious state, and have done all these things at you just explain to us. toal:

>> that was not the intent. >> i want him to respond. >> no. i'm just saying that historically mental health is one of the most underfunded -- >> i understand. you made a claim and i would like him to respond. >> i would say the absence of mental health funding is not a new phenomenon. >> i agree with that. >> to be associated with the general counsel, and i know that since the late 1990s we haven't had an increase in the reimbursement rates and that is an issue that has existeded for some time and i don't think that's a recent phenomenon. that's all i would add. >> that's why i want to amplify what you're saying and when mental health doesn't get funding it increases cost for overall health care. mr. carter, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank all of you for being here on such an important subject. -- about cuts and medicaid, et cetera. we all understand it is established this is an epidemic in this country. as a practicing pharmacist for over 30 years, i have seen first hand probably more than anyon

if you go to the next slide, i want to talk a little bit about how the cap works. i am not going to spend a lot of time explaining this. it is a wonderful diagram and hopefully it will teach you, but we can have some time during q and a. spending isc trended forward by a trend rate and both of those factors are critical in terms of understanding the impact to a state's medicaid program. what was that spending in the early years, if the state is locked into that spending over time in perpetuity except for the adjustment. what you see in this diagram is there is different trend rates the. plus one toand cpi bring the caps forward year-by-year until the year 2025. 2025, all the groups go down to the cpi which is a much lower trend rate. that builds up to an aggregate cap. you have your cap's for the individual groups of people. you multiply the cap times the mole -- the number of people you covered in each of those groups and that builds up to an aggregate cap. that is what the state is going to be guided by in terms of its spending. if state spending those over the ca

i want to thank our quarterback of this effort, i want to thank our governor, scott walker. [applause] governor walker quarterbacked this effort. under his leadership, we've seen wisconsin manufacturing make a huge comeback. this is the topper of all toppers. when he asked us to get involved and talking to foxconn, i couldn't have been more excited. chairman go and his team, they have been incredible throughout this entire process. terry, i want to thank you for your commitment to the people of wisconsin. thank you.

sessions: i want to thank the chairman for yielding. i rise to applaud him for the hard work and the responsible actions that the chairman has taken, not only to ensure this piece of legislation is prared but bettered and ready to go back to the senate. i think we have a forceful sanctions bill that is before the house today and one that targets not only iran and russia but also the north korean regime. as you know, the bill that was passed by the senate risks giving russian energy firms a competitive advantage across the globe by inadvertently denying american companies access to neutral third-party energy markets where there would simply be a small russian presence. the bill before us today prevents russia from being able to weaponize these sanctns against u.s. energy firms, and i want to thank chairman royce for his hard work on this issue. . i alo want to ensure we have an understanding of the definition of the word controlling in section 223-d of h.r. 3364. for purpose of clarification and legislative intent, the term controlling me
