because if you because if you look. at the helix he took his have almost on top of them in the winter gives a blue. president of ecuador it's been a pleasure sir thank you for talking to al jazeera with you we have you know seriously need to get out of these. short films. and inspiration. snow stories of three young women challenging the world around them. al-jazeera selects. it's a daunting climb to one of the holiest sites in bhutan. astri seems to defy gravity every few cities is expected to complete the pilgrimage to ensure peace and happiness when it became a democracy in two thousand and eight the town put happiness at the center of all political policy inspiring the un to pass a resolution urging other nations to follow betimes example but how do you measure it brittany's happiness is what we ensure it if it is quantifiable but by simply turning its pursuit into policy bhutan has done what no other country has. when a french soldier was murdered in a so-called terrorist attack. his mother retaliate who's with lov

if you. i have met with me here in westminster as well saw the flanders government of the scottish government well the scottish government you know anybody saying the same that we need a good reliable law pretty sure to actually come in and when the service you know i'm getting you know months of support in terms of what people actually want to see the end of the day is how we bring the operator in and make sure that they have the values that we expect of an operator and see the service has been a long term prospect and i think from the tourism point of use more recently i've not touched on yet but from a tourism point issue you know i don't think the services in the past have actually been marketed that well in terms of germany and northern france and italy. scotland remains a huge draw in terms of tutors them you know this is another route that people can take that can bring their money in the motorbikes their motor homes you know as a whole different mark of a time kind of a bit of camper

staff will determine if the property is an individual resource and if it's within a district, if it contributes to that district. and if a property is determined to be significant, then e.p. preservation staff will determine if the property retaining its historical integrity and will identify the features. a property can be determined significant but not have historic integrity and not considered a historical resource. and a property can be in good condition but lack significance. >> thank you. can you speak a little slower. we're not familiar with the in betweens. i appreciate that. >> the variety of documents that are produced to help staff to determine whether or not a property is historic resource, technical studies can be submitted by the project sponsor which is the historic resource determination supplemental application. this does not require a qualified consultant to prepare. and there's evaluation report which is -- does require qualified consultant to prepare and has an evaluation of the resource. and the supplemental just gives background information and both are used by the plannin

>> i think if you take, so if you look, if you take a, b, and c together, right, that represents what, 47, almost, almost 91% of the audience, and i think that combination is right, that if there is -- first, it depends how you define failure. so if we define failure as, you know, both sides walk away from the meeting, saying this really sucked, you know, it was a really bad meeting, and we don't see future progress as possible, you know, if we use that definition of failure, then i think that, again, if we combine what all of you have said about a, b, and c, that to me looks like the likely outcome. one, the south korean government is committed to engagement, not just because ideal logically they believe in it, they now have to tie their own domestic economic difficulty, the solution to their domestic economic difficulty, slow growth, high end employment, and two, entering in economic engagement, and of course, they don't want to go back to 2017, the year when they thought there could be war. so for that reason, i think that's right. they will continue to focus on engagement, even if

if we do nothing, if we maintain the scrap status quo, they fail. now, instead of fixing these programs, the new majority wants to expand them. this is irresponsible. we are facing a sovereign debt crisis that we know is coming. so again i ask, what is your plan? i assume it is to raise taxes. i have heard some would like to raise individual rates to 70% emma possibly increase the corporate rate from 21 percent to 28%. is that the plan? to drastically increase taxes to pay for out-of-control spending? let me be clear. we cannot tax our way out of this problem. again, as cbo previously outlined, the biggest budget challenges lie in mandatory spending. if we don't address these drivers of debt, our march toward fiscal insolvency will not stop. my guess is that director hall will reiterate this point in this morning's hearing as well as the fact that revenue isn't the solution. we need to work together to confront our growing debt burden and mandatory spending issues. so i ask one last time, do you think the deficit and debt projection released by the

in now, if that is ok. not painful but it's weird, an odd feeling. these are the pressures and we use that to swipe some cells from the cervix and at this point some women will feel a period type pain. slightly, but it's doable. and it's over. amazing. the speculum comes out, really quickly. it's the waiting for something to happen and it did not. my last smear reminded me of vaccinations and giving blood, i always have such fear stop and that's worse than the process. and then afterwards you say, it's gone. the other thing we want to say is if that position is uncomfortable we do have an alternative and chloe will demonstrate you roll onto your side and put your knees up into your chest and we do this smear exactly the same way using the same speculum and some women find it more comfortable. if you are uncomfortable, if you have questions, stop us and there is loads of information and support online. that was done in... 30 seconds? some women it might take longer if they are uncomfortable or we slow it dow

and if you have a t.i. permit pulled, that would trigger off -- let's say if it's open for two years, would that trigger off this legislation that you would -- >> the language is relatively general. if you have a permit that would impact the use in the commercial storefront area, it's not defined as vacant. >> so it doesn't break it down t.i. or -- >> no. >> so a genuine person would be able to stay off this list if they can demonstrate that they've got an open permit for trying to get a tenant, correct? >> yes. >> okay. that's good. good clarification. thank you. all right. oh, commissioner -- >> sorry, just a comment for my fellow commissioners' benefit because i'm sure we're going to vote on this. i won't vote for the current legislation because i agree with the small business commission or the small business department's recommendation about the 270 days and not having to pay right away, so i just want everyone to know that. >> in other words, your objection to it, commissioner clinch, would be -- >> th

if is at the dog versus the car the car will hit the dog. >> what if there was a female vers this is, a place with one of the highest life expectancies in the country. you see so many people walking around here in their hundreds. so how do you stay financially well for all those extra years? well, you have to start planning as early as possible. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, of retirement. i don't have a whole lot saved up, but i'm working on it now. i will do whatever i need to do. plan your financial life with prudential. bring your challenges. 2014 linking to 12 deaths. now back to "the greg gutfeld show". greg: now you have seen the ad that smears adult men. . >> bullying and the #metoo movement. >> the best demand to get. this has been going on far too long. you can hide. you cannot laugh it off. greg: that made a lot of good honest men they will never be good honest men. but could you try to act like that with women? . >> is this the best we can do? should women get equal treatment? after all fair is fair. do you think women are weak do you target men to spare us?

power grid if they want to.his new report from the intelligence chiefs rings a whole new kind of alarm bell. this is no longer just a thing that they might be planning for that could conceivably happen one day. this is the director of national intelligence, telling us all in unclassified form, in black and white, dhichina and russia can this now, today, if they want to. in other words, we're relying on their good graces that they're not. and it is like negative 50 degrees in the dakotas right now. what would happen if russia killed the power in fargo today? right? what would happen if all the natural gas lines that service sioux falls just poof on the coldest day in recent memories, and it wasn't in our power whether or not to turn them back on. what would you do if you lost heat indefinitely as the act of a foreign power on the same day the temperature in your front yard matched the temperature in antarctica? i mean, what would you and your family do? joining us now is rebecca smith. she is an energy reporter f

if doesn't work if it's one size fits all. strongered a misk areas are in general better because you have more flexibility but there will be bad ones that fail. those will get in the newspaper and then the temptation will be to regulate the hell out of all the ones that are working and make it harder for them to do their job. a it's a chronic balance and fairly changeable society, which we have. and we just -- the balance is always going to shift back and forth. but i don't necessarily think we want one-size-fits-all. if we're going to have medicare for all, we probably ought to have some sort of local administration anyway and then there will be states that screw it up and they'll have to be dealt with. anybody else? yes. questioner: what do you think about -- take georgia as an example. what do you think about the rural health infrastructure issues and where that's going end to up in five to 10 years? mr. dean: that's really a big problem. i picked on georgia because they didn't -- they were one of the 14 states that didn't

to see if i. i plan. to. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you long to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot relationship wrongful conviction. and any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't t

if it does not met -- it does not matter if it is a big or small fight. if it matters to you, it matters to me and we will fight together and reclaim this democracy and open the government. the democracy is ours. [applause] i am open to all questions. >> i am jake and i go to iowa state. tecumseh -. day one with a democratic house and senate, what can you do regarding gun control? sen. gillibrand: the first thing you have to do is bring people together about what we have in common. if you ask the american people if they think we should have universal background checks so people who are mentally ill or who have criminal records or who are on watchlist should not have access to weapons, i promise you they will say yes. if you talk to people and say we do not need military weapons anywhere. if you need to be able to make sure the only people who have access to those military weapons is the military then ban gun clips. gun trafficking. what happens is one's come from other places where there are not good laws and they are trafficked by criminals directly to t

if they can't swim they sink. the idea is to make it harder to create high-level water currents against them . >> that's the way it should be. the trick is to allow them to do so in a way that allows them to interact that's completely safe that create a way that has not profited us other than using our capability to raise the level of water . >> is this toolkit to be used for a business as small as an appliance repair shop . >> if you look to validate the toolset that we improve the concepts from 19 companies. if you go through the list of companies, and look at the lists, we did the range of all sizes, primarily because we felt that we knew that if you take the tools as they exist today, they are large and you move them down to midsize, but you could actually take the toolset and move it down based on the standards, etc. but when you get to an organization of even a couple hundred, they don't have the expertise to apply the toolset. that's where we focus, primarily. if you think about a building, foundations, you

even if they are just kidding, if they have that attitude, then they hold executive power, then you arein for a really terrible situation. trump has not condemned the neo-nazi groups or the kkk, and with charlottesville people were forced to confront that and confront bannon. we have a problem of systemic racism. it's not just a matter of feelings. it's not just a matter of what people like to call identity politics, which is really civil rights and civil rights in this country are on the decline. voting rights are in trouble since the partial repeal. we have these very kind of concrete things that have gone backwards especially in the last five years that need to be remedied. if i go into ferguson, you know, it will take a lot, but one thing i will tell you living in st. louis is that there's not reform after ferguson. there was a lot of media attention. there were a lot of protests, but things have remained the same. black teenagers, black men are still being killed by police who can walk free. municipal governments in the st. louis metro region are still ripping off black drivers, yo

if there is a molester, if there is a person that is embezzling funds. that is going to damage other people. there is no protection for the one who is harming others. if it's a personal bias that you discover in a person, may god protect us all, suppose he has a drinking problem, let's say. it's a very bad problem, but is between him and his lord. so it's not your business to go plaster all over facebook and social media. you go to them personally or her personally and you expose personally and you tell them to fear god and whatnot, but there is no need to expose a personal sin. and for your question i will

if you can put that up. we started last year with a question of where will a major security incident most likely occur? you may all remember and we was here in january of 2018, and we was all thinking we was going to have a crisis on the korean peninsula and we was talking about fire and fury and the potential for the u.s. using force and here we are a year later with a totally different situation on the korean and angela. the south china sea interestingly, we did have the incident at the end of the year with a chinese ship going probably about within 45 feet, but no major incident. the east china sea is really interesting at the end of the year, in december, there was actually no incursion by a chinese vessel into the 12th nautical miles around the islands, which is sort of interesting. but we have 40 had three this month, so maybe we are headed back to where we was. of course the taiwan strait and it will be extinct to say what people say about that this year. on the indian border, we will six months, and

one is if there's 55,000 municipal issuers and legal constraints and the second is the view is if the securities laws were enacted 33 and 34, munis were still viewed as safe instruments and the opportunity for fraud was just not there unlike your corporate counterparts. indeed, i think the failure rate for munis where investors actually lose capital is minuscule and the fact of the matter is if an investor was actually doing his or her due diligence the likelihood of a loss of capital would go to zero because you know when your local government has one taxpayer, one large taxpayer and that taxpayer's failing if you're doing your diligence. but the sec indirectly regulates through brokers and dealers. so investment banks and now financial advisors so by imposing duties on those intermediaries they indirectly regulate municipal securities and they cannot under write them without a document and a commitment from the securities office to provide annual ongoing market data. i would say 20 years ago when municipal issuers issued bonds, there was no obligation to provide continual financial

i believe, if my memory serves me correctly, and if i'm not, shut me up. that the city of san francisco gave a grant to the museum of ice cream business attraction grant i believe came out of the office of economic and workforce development to help get the business off the ground. that may or may not be relevant to the p.c.n., but it does say there's a relationship between the city and this business, which -- and i'm not pointing fingers at you, but there are other people involved in the museum. there was a little kerfuffle in the beginning, with plastic items entering the landfill between the business and my staff. i believe -- not you, but there's another person involved who knows my office well, miss berg, and there's been no outreach. i'm happy to meet with you in the intervening five days, is to send out a resolution recommending denial. if we can get something done between now and tuesday, keep your fingers crossed. >> chair mandelman: great, and i'm taking that as a motion, and i'm not seeing any objections, so we'll take that without objection.

every day of the week, but we can't do that if we keep getting complaints, and we can't do that if we keep getting comments not just these neighbors that we always hear from, but other folks, too. so that's a lot of statement. that's really a statement, not really a question. i guess my question is, i don't know, how do you feel that you can build the trust again with our commission and follow the rules? i mean, i guess i'm just looking for a verbal agreement here, but you've already given that before. >> i understand that, but i think that i can -- i can -- i'm not saying, i know, i can honestly say that when commissioner lee said if you go over -- because i explained to him, it's very difficult sometimes to control these things, he said if you go over, you have to notice us. so in my head, i was not thinking like, oh, i didn't notice that, therefore, i absolutely, positively cannot go over, commissioner lee said oh, if you go over, you must notice us. that's what i did. that's not a blatant i'm going to disregard what the entertainment commission i said, it was me, in my head, think

if a few kpafrt charts and look at verizon absolute. going back to 2014 and you have verizon lagging but the key of course is -- is that as the market sold off which is what you expect a very defensive asset like this was doing well let's pull it back a little further. so here we have next time frame. this goes back to the lows of '09. and again you have potential that the market has prospectively more absolute downside risk and/or relative with verizon trying to narrow the gap. and then on a long-term basis going back even further, well this looks like the same chart again. but the premise is the same. you want to play for a catch up let me show you some absolute charts and go from there here is the chart itself, has all the look of a bearish to bullish reversal but what appeals to me is the checkback is to trend and then the ounce keep that in mind and look at this with relative performance this is the best part. even as verizon was selling off into the end of the year with the rest of the equity complex, its performance of course was

if to resume a.s. until twenty twenty an extension and there's also talk about a possible inclusion of the u.k. in the customs union for manufactured goods but not for services which we at we haven't been able to confirm that tonight and it is a it's a stunning development if that is if it is true what does that do the to the calculus for theresa may moving forward to present a brakes a plan b. for those two points that you hit the festool there's this idea that the u.k. will be given more time before it leaves the european union and there are not just calls for that within the european union is self as you mentioned there are also growing calls for that in the united kingdom as well because the fact is despite everything that we've seen over the last twenty four hours despite the nothern momentous day today essentially nothing's changed the reason may has a deal that she can't get through parliament and yet she is seems unwilling as it stands or any says she's unwilling to give any significant ground

last year we asked if economic relations would -- if you can put up the slide, please. we asked if relations would improve, remain the same, see gradual increasing friction or deteriorate in a trade war. and i think overwhelmingly people came out either in c or d. and i think that was a pretty good prediction in the sense that in 2018, the trump administration imposed tariffs on plus or minus $250 billion worth of chinese imports. china retaliated on -- i've forgotten what the number is. 100-some billion worth of u.s. imports into china. and we're obviously caught in a discussion now. so we're going to ask about that. and we're going to now have a new question, which is, will trade tensions between the united states and china be resolved this year? i think is the implication. the question. so you've got four answers there. interesting. keep voting. we're drifting a little bit there. no, i'm still holding out for b. here. but -- okay. we're close. bill, do you think the audience is in the right place? >>. >> i've been watching the market here, and stephanie's comments ha

if they did, so what?ney rudy giuliani discussing whether president trump ever discussed michael cohen's testimony before congress. >> you just acknowledged it's possible that president trump talked to michael co-n about his testimony. >> which would be perfectly normal. >> so it's possible that that happened, that president trump talked to michael cohen? >> i don't know if it happened or didn't happen and it might be attorn attorneyo client privilege where i can't acknowledge. i have no knowledge. i'm telling you, i wasn't there then. it's not significant because the version that he gave -- >> he's convicted of -- one of the things he pled guilty to, i believe, is lying to congress about the trump tower deal. >> which

if the president is not going to move and if democrats are not going to move and this thing drags on, what point will the cries from this 800,000 federal workers and not to mention the thousands and perhaps many more that are in directly affected by this shutdown. at what point will their suffering, the fbi has opened a food pantry in new york, a food pantry. at what point though is it going to be incumbent upon somebody to relent? >> that moment is right now. we continue to relent. in fact, we pass -- the senate pass the spending bill. we took the republican crafted, senate passed bill and pass that legislation to give the senate a chance to say yes to something they already agreed to. that moment is now. the moment where somebody needs to reel in is now. if however we take the position that in order to solve this problem, we are going to buy into this notion that the president can have a tantrum, threatening over one item that we disagree with about to shutdown the federal government. that president is now essentially going to be able to dictate any terms he likes. that's not what t

for, if he declares a national emergency i wonder how the democrats would respond because if he would declare the national emergency, don't democrats have to agree to reopen the government? >> it is unclear how that happens. there are bills that go forward that don't include this wall money because the president is going to get money from somewhere else either the pentagon or some other fema funds, certainly not mexico that he promised he would do. that is sort of the unclear part. if whatever has happened out of the congress so far the house bills that passed and the one in the senate, is that just the path for it. this is an extraordinary moment we are in for this president to be considering this, going around a congress that as you said has the power of the purse. the precedent that this sets is quite extraordinary particularly when you talk about a republican president. we just had years and years of republicans really hammering the former president obama for what they saw as executive overreach and ignoring congressional laws and congressional authority. for them at this point --

if there are -- if there's no other alternative but that, yeah, i would support it then.national security issue. you have to look at it as such. >> neil: finally, your thoughts on these chinese folks that will be by next week. the president was saying today the chinese really need these talks to succeed more than we do. he seems to be talking from a number of vantage points. militarily, their own financial security seems to be at risk and we have the upper hand. do you buy that? >> well, here's what i do buy. the national security strategy from this administration has identified china as the long-term strategic threat to the united states. i think that is absolutely spot on and it separates this separation from previous administrations. this is a threat from what? this is an economic predator to be sure and that has got the largest piece of the focus. their military expansion in the region in terms of dominating the region and they want to drive the united states out of the asia pacific. president xi has stated time and time again that he intends to replace the united sta

we i think bracks it is a historic disaster i would love to cancel it right now if i could if we did that if they did that that would be undemocratic and it wouldn't fly it would permanently embitter half the country ok so by the same method of elimination you can go down the path now though of the many problems that a second referendum has one is we cannot. question a binary question director mark receive can only come in when there's a simple by. question we don't have that again so we have to create one and i think this is where the e.u. twenty seven has a role and i think there's a for a minute since we happen to be in germany the germans have an interest in this for a lot of reasons they have an interest in being more pro british as they would like keeping britain in more than let's say the french and there's a think tank in munich the evil institute that has laid this out very clearly in a complex click case and the e.u. twenty seven must make a gesture now and essentially get off their old stick that there can be no cherry picking and i like that the evil institute for instanc

if donald trump could not mobilize them. at least roughly to the romney level with the electoral college or the vote. it's way below where it needs to be with both of the constituencies. and try to swing them against hillary clinton. if you wanted to hit -- hurt hillary clinton. she needs to get somewhere in that range. and then you would want to demobilize. there is a move to shift. it was pretty savvy. or the potential liabilities that needed to activate. they also were tied into the trump message structures. it was a way that was very consistent. they are largely not putting new messages into play through the trolls. they are taking existing messages that are already in the conservative and more right ring -- right wing. and they are doing it in ways that are consistent with what donald trump is saying. they also targeted voters that they needed to target. here is some survey data about a dominant situate see. as i tell my students you can read more rapidly than i speak. >> those who believe that they need protection. the

this context and say if someone -- if someone were -- if a prosecutor came and showed that there was a quid pro quo by which somebody gives something of value to induce false testimony or -- >> it would be a crime. >> yes. >> and the question is whether the president could be prosecuted while in office. i happen to believe that he could be, even if the trial were postponed until he is out of office, but because the statute of limitations might run for any other number of reasons a prosecution would be appropriate. would you agree? >> you know, for 40 years the position of the executive branch has been you can't indict a sitting president. >> well, it's the tradition based on a couple of olc opinions, but now it is potentially an imminent, indeed immediate possibility and i'm asking you for your opinion now, if possible, but if not now perhaps at some point. >> are you asking me if i would change that policy? >> i'm asking you what your view is right now. >> you know, i actually haven't read those opinions in a long time, but i see no reason to change them. >> well, i'm happy to conti

if you sell off 45%, which is what it did, and now you're back 47%, that doesn't cut it if you sell off you've got to go up 75 to get back to where you were it's one heck of a ricochet. it looks extended on the ricochet basis, and you see a very nice head-and-shoulders top. >> if you ever need an assistance, buddy. >> all these years, you really caught on. >> this is one of those situations, you spoke to it, the narrative and the negative free cash flow. as long as the narrative holds up, that's where you have these situations where someone says it's trading at 50 times forward earnings, negative free cash flow, how can it go up then you see some subscriber numbers, that fits the bulls' narrative. what happens, though, in circumstances when that does start to break, and all it takes is one instance, is you could see a swift and steep down drop. one of the largest bearish moves was basically the top was in, it cracked and it was an abysmal bear move in the stock i think the only way you can try to do that, because you're trying to time this. this is a timing type of a trade, is to use pu

so if you think about the way that the party traditional lines up, especially the republican party, if you are trying to take it from dod, a lot of hawks say hey, we get this is a problem, but we have more crisis abroad that this money was intended for. i think both in this specific case that you raise and more broadly, potential discontent among republicans is the chief brewing problem for president trump and his advisers right now. >> let me pause you there and ask you, it seems as if -- the white house doesn't seem to think they have the problem that we think they have on capitol hill. do you sense that? >> it's a little bit difficult to kind of pull out these threads because a lot of the people i talked to are willing to acknowledge in more stark term that is the trust and communication between and among republicans is possibly at a low point in the course of this shut down. it stems from that meeting where vice president pence was behind the 69s with senate leaders and from their perspective assures them the president would sign that short-term bill that the senate passed. mitch m

tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible. the latest inisn't just a store.ty it's a save more with a new kind of wireless network store. it's a look what your wifi can do now store. a get your questions answered by awesome experts store. it's a now there's one store that connects your life like never before store. the xfinity store is here. and it's simple, easy, awesome. >> so we're back with frank, josh, and april. i want to read this as it relates to the shutdown. he creates or threatens to create a calamity and insists he will address the problem only if his adversary capitulates to a demand and he has described it as approach and creating leverage and negotiating but democrats and other poenopponen say hostage taking. >> do you think extortion is too strong of a word when you remove things and take the

if he can do that. if we can formalize the policy decision making and making it less responsive to president trump's impulses but let him be trump on twitter maybe we can have the best of all worlds. >> leland: that would be a good thing. michael, thank you so much. >> molly: what kim jong-un is warning could happen if the current sanctions continue. her ! i'm in! but first... shelfie! the great-tasting nutrition of ensure. with up to 30 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals! ensure. for strength and energy. >> leland: treating the new year's eve stabbing attack after a stabbing in a manchester railway station. the officer was released, two other people remain in the hospital with very serious injuries, he was arrested on attempted murder. no wider threat to the public. extra officers were placed on manchester streets as a precaution. >> molly: kim jong-un says he is ready to meet with president trump for another high stakes nuclear summit but warning the talks could fall apart unless the u.s. s

if you are a u.s.itizen, with all the atrocities we've watched him waddle through, this is top of the list as far as i'm concerned. >> he's your friend. dud he give you a sense of commitment? will he testify? >> i believe strongly he will. but he was thrown and that was with obstruction of justice in real time. i got a front-row seat to it. >> the president has unique tactic like the yard bully. a president tells somebody to tl lie to congress. >> matter of law pretty simple. that is perjury and whether it's under ogt or not. whether oral or written, in front of congress or the fbi, that's a crime. and prosecutors know how to try that. it's not hard. >> there's documents, cash, a couple of other people involved. it's not just word of michael cohen. >> as matter of law perjury requires a witnesses and something else. the congressman knows this well. you want to corroborate your witnesses however you ask can in as many ways as you can as long as it's truthful and accurate. documents, emails, tapes. all t

we don't know if anything he did say would be in itself a basis for a pros skuchlths if a president or anyone else makes false public statements. >> that is one piece of evidence. it doesn't establish criminality. it's not the elements of a crime. but before we go running off worried about it. i think it's one piece. it's a perfectly acceptable piece of evidence. >> a piece of evidence. john, i would have pushed back harder on it. the team sent me history that ken starr, which i had forgotten, had put it to then president bill clinton about a tie he was wearing that supposedly they were talking to monica lewinsky, he was talking to them as whether or not he had been using it as a public signal. so if they were going to take that kind of public gesture seriously, why wouldn't mueller make real statements on material matters from his probe. >> any statement or action that the president takes, spoken, jesstural, it may have significance to somebody, can be probative of somebody's intent. public statements by themselves would certainly not support an obstruction of justice. >> right. >> ch

higher than if you don't.n they say to -- when their kids say, you know, i want -- when they're deciding what to do, they'll say go to college, because they know those statistics. >> yeah. it is true that kids who go to college earn more than kids that don't. why do i they earn more? partly -- in fact, i would say mostly, brian kaplan at george mason would say almost entirely, it's because they're smarter, they have higher uqs, they work harder, they did better in high school, they're less likely to skip class, etc., etc. they have attributes many of which have nothing to do with what they learn in college that give them an edge. i think we have overrated college. i do think if we are going to provide federal aid, provide it to vocational schools is a good idea. we probably should. why don't we give vouchers to low income kids to learn how to become welders, send them to a career college for a year, give 'em $20,000 and let 'em become welders. i think that would do more good than providing free college to ever

if i'm confirmed.ould rather not make any comments about it right now. >> let me ask you this -- the same technology companies also control the flow of information, or at least influence it. the flow -- gift going back into american history to find any analog. back to the paper trusts, to find an analog of a small group of companies that control the information influence the news and it's flu to americans come to the extent these companies d do. there is growing evidence that these companies have leveraged their considerable market power, if not monopoly status, to disfavor certain ideological viewpoints. particularly conservative and libertarian viewpoints. if you think the department of justice has authority under the antitrust laws or consumer protection laws or other laws to address bias by dominant online platforms? >> i would just say, generally, i wouldn't think -- i would have to think long and hard before i said that it was really the stuff of an antitrust matter. on the other hand, it could i

so if you can the. areas from one youth are not or it actually doesn't show change by capacity according to our metrics we just say this is the this is the capacity you have some people say we should use it to grow potatoes of the say we should use it to growth forests you know in the end we just say this is the size of your farm that's how much farm you have how you use it is your choice but there's a quantity of issue because quantity. overpowers quality if we use more than what there is we cannot generate quality use of ecosystems we can protect one little area for quality and have it nice but then if you continue to consume as much you just put more pressure on the remaining part so we have to get the quantity right otherwise you can not get to quality well mr right and i still have questions of my let's on my list but unfortunately i cannot pose them to you because our time is up i really appreciate you being with us today thank you very much for sharing your perspective and i encourage our viewers

tip, even if you don't usually tip, and if you do usually tip, and even if you are tipping tonight for the first for you, you must pay through the nose. deal? deal. that does it for us tonight. see you again tomorrow. now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. >> good evening, rachel. that is such an important public service announcement, and i have to say that when i was living on tips as a parking attendant in boston parking cars, the tips were so rare, i have to tell you any amount, any amount was fine with us. >> on a subzero night, if someone gives you a nickel, you're going to be like, where's the right, right? this is a time when it is -- tipping is no kidding. >> they were almost all subzero nights in boston in winter, but when we were parking cars for the celtics and the bruins and stuff, and if you -- whatever you gave us, we were very grateful for. we really appreciated it. >> you know, my first -- my first -- my first service job, meaning like waiting tables job was minimum wage, no tips and i had to wear pantyhose. and at that point had anybody illegally --

if wrong, it will fall down. the idea is get the foundation right for the smallest company and expand upon it as you move off the scale and take the skyscraper and try to make it too strong to fall. >> we got it. i have one more question i am going to open up to the room. what makes this cyberreadiness program different from other efforts to help small businesses? >> i ask kiersten todt's question all the time. maybe you can help. >> it is an important question and great question. there are a lot of resources out there for small businesses. there are a few things that make it different. the first is we have asserted these four issues, authentication, fishing, patching as those that are critical for building that foundation. this is what we said. if you do this, this is based on the research we did on the commission and research our member companies and subject matter experts contributed. the second piece is in doing these we are applying a policy, policy templates, culture of readiness, we apply decision-making t
