mr. vekselberg quick question from cnn. >> thank you. not now. >> why did your company pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to president trump's lawyer. >> not now. >> really appreciate -- okay. really appreciate -- i understand. you're so aggressive. >> no, i'm not. >> please -- >> was it to buy access to the president? >> please -- [ inaudible ]. >>what did you get for the money? >> please leave. >> questions, sir. >> you have to understand -- [ inaudible ]. >> what did the fbi question you about? >> thank you very much. >> so why is robert mueller and his team so interested in vekselberg? >> well, i think it is a question of follow the money. so viktor vekselberg was questioned when he arrived in the u.s. on his private plane earl -- early this year and was asked about political donations to the rnc and the trump victory fund and also asked about the payment to michael cohen. now the reason why they're asking for viktor vekselberg is because his company is a big russian kong glomer at, largest investor with the company that his cousin

mr. chairman. i will make these quick. mr. clark, you know one of the primary objectives of order one thousand was to promote interregional transmission development, but there is broad consensus that order one thousand failed to achieve that goal. so in your opinion, how could this objective be achieved? >> sure. i think part of it is, congressman, thank you for the question, part of it is as i said attempting to focus in on what you're actually trying to accomplish in the rule. the rule itself is expansive. it ran several hundred pages long. the compliance filings are probably thousands of pages on top of that. and i think part of the reason that it -- you get that result is the order tried to do a lot of things all at once. it was partly competition policy. it was partly an investment policy. it was partly a regional planning policy. it was partly a cost allocation policy. some of it dealt with intraregional things. some of it interregional things. when you push that much out in a rule and expect the regions to do something

mr. gore. let's just get into the questions real quick. mr. gore, did the department of justice express the need for anyone sunday data when the census bureau recorded a con ten review. >> i'm not sure when the census bureau last conducted a con dent review. >> that was 0 no. it was last spring and then they halt the review draft in november but that's a no. let's move on. the doj says it needs citizen data to better enforce the voting righting a. when was the vote little eights act enacted. >> 1965. >> 35353 years ago. was a citizen china question included new 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 or 20 census, short form, across the board, not the long form, and not the american community survey. >> not included in the short form, because shed in the long form from 1970 to 77. >> thank you. the answer was, no. since the enactment of the voting rights act does the doj has not deemed it critical to include a citizenship question on the short form. the entirety of the census. so mr. gore, why did the doj not -- why didn't the doj make this request in previous

mr. simon just a quick question. i think that it's been truth certainly since the days of dw griffin that there have been people on all ends of the political spectrum both the left and the right to strongly articulating their viewpoints. what's happened in the last 20 or 30 years on the conservative side of the spectrum that has largely disappeared? why don't you hear from the conservatives any more? >> guest: my generation reason i thinks it was 1968 hollywood gradually switched over to become and it was a product of that of my generation but for a long time we all came to take over hollywood, so that's what happened. >> host: roger simon has been a guest for the most recent book i know best how moral narcissism is destroying the republic if it

mr. gore, i appreciate that. real quick. did stephen miller contact the department of justice about adding a citizenship question? do you have any e-mails, phone records, communication with steve miller from the white house. >> again, i'm not going to get into any department communication or deliberations that may have happened in the executive branch in this or any other matter. >> thank you, mr. gore. >> the gentleman from michigan is recognized. >> thank you. thank you for being here today, mr. gore. >>> unfortunately sometimes, my opinion today is an example of that. the importance of the census is people feel comfortable of answering questions and their privacy is not compromised. when is the last time the department of justice has brought a case against someone against the privacy laws? do you recall the last time that was. >> i don't know. >> so you don't recall cases where people's privacy has been violated. >> i don't know of any. >> what are the penalties levied against the people found guilty of that. >> i don't k

mr. simon, a quick question. i think at been true of hollywood since the days of d.w. griffith, people on all end the political spectrum, left and right, strongly articulating their viewpoint. what happened in the last 20 for years that the conservative side of that spectrum has largely differ appeared. why don't we hear from the conservatives anymore? >> host: in hollywood. >> guest: yep. >> host: thank you, charles. >> guest: my generation, we're at fault. i tell you why. it's 1968 was a seminal year in a lot of people's thinking and since '68, hollywood gradually switched over to becoming a left-wing mouthpiece, and it was a product of my generation. i'm a '68 guy who went south on '68. for a long time i was a '68 guy, and we all came to take over hollywood. that's how it happened. >> host: roger l. simon has been our guest. his most recent book ex-"i know best: how moral narcissism is destroying our republic if it hasn't already." thank you were being on booktv. >> guest: great fun. thank you. >> this weekend the c-span cities tour takes you to tyler, texas. today

for "nightly business report," i'm becky quick inomaha, nebraska. >> mr. buffet was very critical of bitcoin. over the weekend he called it rat poise sin and he told becky it's an acid that creates nothing. the vice chair charlie munger said the same things as did mr. buffet's good friend bill gates. >> bitcoin is worless artificial gold which if it succeeded would filter a lot of illicit activity. now that is not something ior think the needs. >> bitcoin and icos i agree completely, it's one of the crazierng speculative t where it's not as an asset class, you're not producianything. i would short it if there was an easy way to do it. >> there was a new first of iki warren buffet archive available to investors where you n search full berkshire hathaway annual meetings going back to 1994 and there's video.ds of hours of you can access it and learn m ie about on our website, nbr.com. >>> time to take a look at some of today's upgrades and downgrades. we begin with mcdonald's which was upgraded to conviction buy from buy at goldman sachs. the analysts cited i

. >> i'm going to pivot to the deputy city attorney real quick. mr. gibner, how are you? i know that you are happy to be here, we are happy to see you. it's always nice. i wanted to get a legal opinion, some kind of an understanding. we have a civil servant employee that is looking to be appointed to a commission. is there a precedent for that? that frowned upon? accepted? what are your thoughts on that? >> deputy city attorney. i can't say whether it's frowned upon or accepted as a policy matter. that's a choice for you to make. >> i wonder what the charter says. >> there are no laws that prohibit city employees from serving on the police commission. there could be legal ethic issues that are -- or legal conflict issues, excuse me, with the dual role that we would work out with mr. rao and probably would involve a longer conversation between my office and him specifically about his rule at the hrc and how it could over lap. there's no prohibition. >> thank you for bringing that charity. mr. chair, no other questions. >> supervisor safai: so that's one of the questions th

mr. secretary. >> one quick question as a follow-up what mr. coops was talking about as well, giving side. one of the challenges we've had is getting up to date information. sometimes they'll tell us the information will be four years old. with the charitable giving, we'll have to track that to see if that was a wise choice. there are at this point guesses how that will happen but all educated guesses what that will mean for charitable giving days ahead. how quickly do you think we get information tax nfrngs at the and of this year to see what happened in charitable giving? >> i think we'll have some pretty good data so we can begin to see the impacts of that. >> do you think that will take 18 plonts? six months? how long do you think it will take 1234. >> i'll have to confer with the commissioner on that. but you are free to ask him that question. >> sure. >> we'll follow up as well. one of the things we'll want to look at it rolling. i would say from my perspective, i don't want to have to wait three years to get last year information in fobl

mr. schneider, quick question and comment.entionedy that you the kennedys, probably the most corrupt family america has ever had, especially john and ed. ando back to the dossier how cnn has been complicit with proving -- and they used a cnn report when they went to the court. all of these other things that the last caller mentioned with hillary and comey and loretta lynch, is this not a crisis? are we not in a crisis right now? guest: the way you determine whether it is a crisis is by looking at public opinion, and finding out if there is a huge demand from the public to do something, anything, to get us out of this mess. when that happens, the government clicks into shape, the divisions disappear, congress asked, and we do something. that is what we did during the financial crisis and got president obama's economic stimulus plan passed even though it was controversial, because we had to do something. the real test of a crisis is, is there an overwhelming demand from the public that the government do something? when elected o

mr. nadler. i just have three quick points. the first point is that the president of the united states has one job under article two of the constitution. it's to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. this president wakes up every morning trying to figure out how to thwart the laws of the united states. that's all that he's been doing. and at this point, if you think about it, he's defying the very basis of the rule of law. we can't think of another president who has directly interfered in a single case, much less a case that involves him directly, and yet that's what this president is doing. so the second point about it is, if you go back to paula jones vs. clinton case, the argument made on behalf of the executive was he shouldn't be subject to , civil process because it would be distracting from his duties and the court rightfully rejected that and our republican colleagues roundly condemned that argument. they said, the president should be subject to civil process, to the rule of law, while in office. and of cours

quick point dots prove that. written comps to israel some and netanyahu, mr. trump apparently cares so much but what he says he said american middle east policy will be whatever mr. netanyahu wantses or the israelis want. when it came to the chinese phone company, that was sanction evidence by the u.s., -- sanctioned by the u.s., the chinese are bankrolling a trump project in indonesia, they granted him and his daughter hundreds of trademarks. he immediately jumped in to save that company. when it comed to thank you saudis and me money, i think he demonstrated very clearly he carolina what the saudis think and when it comes to put put who pay parentally has something on the president, he is very quick to jump in and protect him from sanctions. mr. spicer, with all due respect, you and the president, you're not as big as your rhetoric. >> guest: i'm only 56 outsoar i'm not that big. i would respectfully disagree we ever the statement. i think the president has shown very clearly his commitment to make this a better place for all citizen and ran on a promise of

mr. secretary, one quick question as well as a follow-up, what the senator was talking about. a big concern for me that's the charitable giving side. one of the challenges we've had is getting up to date information often we go back to irs and tell us the tracking on this and give us the information and may be four years old. with that change that's something we have to track to see if that was a wise choice. there are guesses on how that will happen, but it's educated guesses for what that will mean for charitable action in the days ahead. how quickly do we get information at the end of the year to see what actually happened in charitable giving and the chances? >> i think we'll have some pretty good data so we can begin to see the impacts of that. >> do you think that will take 18 months or six months, how long before we get good guesstimates. >> i have to confer with the commissioner on that. you're free to ask him that question. >> i would say from my perspective i don't want to wait through years to get the last year's information if possible to get a rolling year to year

mr. russell as well so some quick follow-ups. the list that you have a 95 west there is no reason any employee has to put up with that stressful job my experience has been great but those 50 people are 150 people do they know they are on the list? the neck i'm not sure. but any passenger could go through. >> if they don't know there on the list it would be more effective as a deterrent who they were on the list and you should look into that. that could affect behavior if you are on the list -- then they could appeal that if there is a subjective determination. sometimes i jump security lines i tend to walk in circles on the phone i went to and upon the list. >> if i could that is not the intent of the program these are people that have demonstrated in the past. >> they will. >> i understand you want to get onto the question but i think it would affect behavior better the best thing to do for employees is not have them subject to it at all. but i'm curious, with terrorism and foreign affairs with the no-fly list have you had probl

mr. gore. let's just get into the questions real quick. mr. gore, did the department of justice express the need for citizenship data when the census bureau last conducted its content review? >> i'm not sure when the census bureau last conducted the content review. >> that was a no, but i'll give you the answer because it was last spring and then they had the review draft in november, but that's a no. let's move on. the doj says it needs citizenship data to better enforce the votings right act. when was that enacted. >> 1965. >> correct, 53 years ago. was the citizenship question included in the 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, or 2010 census? short form, across the board, not long-- not the long form and not the american community survey? >> it was not included in the short form those years, it was included in the long form from 1970. >> thank you, that answer was no. since the enactment of the voting rights act the doj has not deemed it critical to include the question on the short form, the entirety of the census, so, mr. gore, why did the doj not--

mr. trump personally. >> very quick final thoughts? not just democrats who are questioning whether the president might benefit from his staff being somewhere near this meeting. it was also rudy giuliani himself who was asking questions about whether they might glean useful information. >> talking about it publicly. >> this is part of rudy giuliani being off script for them. >> saying the legal team is entitled to know. >> he said maybe we'll decide what we learn before we decide to sit down. that's the opposite message they were trying to send of nothing to see here. >> nothing for being here. we'll be right back with today's big picture. ♪ ♪ (baby crying) ♪ ♪ don't juggle your home life and work life without it. ♪ ♪ and don't forget who you're really working for without it. ♪ ♪ funding to help grow your business... ♪ ♪ another way we have your back. ♪ ♪ the powerful backing of american express. don't do business without it. the powerful backing of american express. i was wondering if an electric toothbrush really cleans better than a

longer make calls empty threats can really help at al-jazeera at the white house well iran was quick to respond to mr trump's actions in basra v. has more now from tehran. flanked by his senior leaders and within minutes of the u.s. pullout from the twenty fifteen nuclear deal iran's president hassan rouhani addressed his country and the world in a live speech he said the united states had once more proven itself to be an unreliable negotiating partner and characterize the american president's remarks as rude. they have done nothing except put empty signatures on pieces of paper without doing anything about it the iranian mission on the other hand has agreed to everything and accomplished all its responsibilities we had some duties based on that agreement and we have delivered all of them but today we can see which is the country that doesn't respect international agreements we have done nothing wrong is not acceptable that the u.s. is pulling out i championed the nuclear agreement in the face of hard line critics at home who said it was unlikely to succeed so despite the u.s. pullout rouhani isn't w

quick points to prove that. when it comes to israel and netanyahu, mr. trump apparently care so much about what he says that he said american middle east policy will be whatever mr. netanyahu wants or the israelis want. when it came to the chinese phone company that was sanctioned by the u.s., the chinese are bankrolling a trump indonesia, he immediately jumped into say that company. when it came to the saudi's and the money, he demonstrated very clearly he cares with the saudis think. he ist comes to putin, very quick to jump in and protect him from sanctions. mr. spicer, with all due respect to you and the president, you are not as big as your rhetoric. guest: i am only five foot six inches. i am not that big. i would respectfully disagree. i think the president has clearly shown his commitment to making a better place for all of our citizens. he ran on a promise of america first. i think he is delivering on it. piece by john dickerson of cbs, how the president became possible. -- the presidency became impossible. he made ispoints that george washingto

mr. carlson: i'm sorry, just a real quick question. there is four projects under construction. but there is still another project to be advertised? >> yes. >> palou. >> mr. carlson: when is the estimated completion date of palou, maybe you don't know that? >> i believe it's 18-24 months. >> mr. carlson: that's all i needed. all right, thanks. and then second, on the streetscape pedestrian bicycle. are the improvements currently under way on masonic street part of this program? or were they funded by different? >> they were not funded by the bond. >> mr. carlson: ok, thank you. >> ms. chu: any other comments? >> i have a couple of questions. in terms of pedestrian safety, mta says it's going to expand the amount of time allowed for people to walk in crosswalks by a second or up to even five seconds, but it will take a number of years for that to take place. what role does your work have in relationship to that? and why will it take years for that to take place? >> i can't -- i don't know if we have anybody -- i don't think cheryl is here today, so i can't speak to why it would ta

mr. chairman, i'll be quick. first, i want to also thank the staff on both sides for their work. this is the way legislaon is supposed to move. you have hearings. in energy and commerce we really forced a subcommittee hearing, markup, subcommittee mark, full committee mark. then, we go through the process. our staff has done a tremendous job. i also want to thank ranking meer pallone and ranking member tonko for their friendship and their actually good negotiating skills as they have told me many times they have changed that bill through their diligence and that has got us here to a better product. i'll end up on three quick points. we raised them before. we can transport this safely. we've done it for decades. every day taxpayers are paying from all 50 states in the judgment fund because of our failure to meet our legal obligations. i think it's almost $800 million a year that we pay because we're breaking the law. independent scientific analysis of the yucca mountain repository found the site to safely dispose of nuclear waste for one million years. > that yucca mountain bill p

mr. secretary, just a quick follow up on a question senator reid asked. can you give us any guidance when a decision might be made about the jcpoa? >> yes, i believe before the 12th of next month. mr. secretary, the ship's act makes the 55 ship of the united states navy seem -- do you agree that the 355 ship requirement is now the official policy of the united states? >> i do, senator. >> and in terms of getting there, the target date was an unacceptable period in the '50s. recently a decision was made to extend the lives of some destroyers, moving it to the 2030s. what do you mean for us and what are the plans in the pentagon for moving that date even earlier? >> well, as we try to balance the force, if you gave me all the money in the world, i would go for it in the next five years. right now we're trying to balance solvency and security, because solvency is critical to the long-term national security of our nation. but at the same time, we're asking for this year, 3.1% of gdp. we believe the nation can afford that, and perhaps increase that, it would de

mr. king in real quick and she got up and spoke but they -- they put him in a room behind the -- in the backhind the -- sanctuary or the church and the press conference. so we're jammed many this little room. and there's a gas beside me who was also i used to be redheaded -- he's asking all of these questions to get you riled up and questions and malcolm body guards begin to see and figure their piece. so at the end he went outside and this place detective said what are you trying to do in there. i said, dan -- i didn't ask a question. he said well -- one of the boys cam out and said that really -- asking all of these inflammatory questions i said not me. guy beside me. i said okay i didn't think he was you. well later that day we found out this guy wases escape mental from the state mental hospital. he had broken into a hotel room of a birmingham newspaper and stole his miewp and got into the press kfns with those credentials. well you can say that's -- that's enough to make you nervous that's the only time i can ever remember of being nervous of concerned about -- my safety. because it was

i have two quick questions. one for mr. cunningham and one for mr. soove. mr. cunningham, one of things mr. he brought up in his testimony, there are a large number of jurisdictions that don't report hate crimes at all. florida, for example, the third most populist state in the country reports fewer hate crimes than north carolina which is half its size. there are places, counties in texas, harris county, with a million, over a million, nearly two million people that reported zero hate crimes and there are other jurisdictions. and that is not by the way relegated to the south. baltimore county reported one for population of 831,000. how do we get these police departments in these larger jurisdictions to start cooperating? what can we do to make it either better, easier or more compulsory for them to get involved? >> sure. couple of responses to that number one, i think that in a lot of the jurisdictions they don't know what those bias indicators are. so they're not sure it's a hate crime. so they don't list it as a hate crime. that is number one. but the bigger

mr. secretary, by just quick comment. >> sure. >> that doesn't make it right. >> no, sir, it doesn't. >> either they're a danger or they're not. the president's been in office for a year, over a year now, and nothing was done, evidently. >> i agree. >> time to do it, right? >> i agree. we need to make sure that america is secure from threats to all, multiple zte's one amongst many of the same types of threats and i look forward to working. this seems to me to be a bipartisan issue. >> so it still should be banned? >> we're going to get this right. we're going to reduce the risk from zte to america. it's still under review what's been taking place. i've been part of some of the discussions, although not all of them, but i understand at least of yesterday afternoon, no final resolution had been reached. secretary of state, i'll leave to others the president's phone. i won't walk away a single bit from what i said previously. every government elect official has responsibility to comply with -- >> including the president, mr. secretary? >> every government official -- >> who would tell him t

mr. chairman: start right on the line and the real quick. maybe everyone will get a chance to answer. charlie: when the arguments used is that there are not enough facts to prove -- one of the arguments used is there are not enough facts to prove gun control works. in 2018, more servicemen have died -- students and schools have died been active serviceman in the middle east. that changes the way i think about learning and going to school. if i were to be drafted right i would have a higher chance of surviving. i don't understand how this is even a conversation. 42nd question for students who need help but are afraid to get it -- the second question for students who need help but are afraid to get it, this is enough resources. i am from florida, which is 50th in mental health funding. i am privileged. i am not what the students on other sides of the panel who don't even have counselors. we were extremely underfunded. all we got were therapy dogs. they are notbut making me get over the fact of february 14. yr. chairman: malachi, an comments? >> i definitely feel that the makeyellows, it

mr. vice president. commissioner veronese? >> commissioner veronese: quick question. i noticed popping up around the city are these signs on buildings that are in violation of the soft story compliance. are you familiar with what i'm talking about? is the department tracking that? >> so all seismic issues are handled at building department. structural issues. so that's outside our scope. any compliance issues with that would fall into the building department. >> commissioner veronese: i guess my point, once there's an earthquake it quickly becomes within your scope when the buildings are stacked on top of each other. i'm wondering if the department doesn't track how many buildings we have, or how effective this program, the soft story compliance. i noticed there's a lot of buildings getting into compliance and that's probably a matter of shortage of finding people who do it these days. i would be interested in knowing and perhaps chief gonzales we could make it part of the report for the next month as to how many buildings are actually in compliance so we could keep o

quick to say the u.s. president made a mistake but what about mr. macron's almost bromance relationship? all of that lobbying appears to have been in vain. did he talk about his old short -- his own shortcomings? max: he said he anticipated this would happen but he did not say he made any kind of mistake. he really gave it his all. but there is a huge difference between what we see as going on with the hogs and kisses and handshakes. any policy that donald trump has been involved in. it is an exception with how he treats donald trump when you compare to how angela merkel, german chancellor treats donald trump. brent: max, thank you very much. you can watch max's entire interview with president macron on our website at ew.com as well -- dw.com as well as on twitter. @dwnews. countries plan to it here to the nuclear deal. and he is adding that he is still open to negotiating a new deal. he has also warned tehran not to restart the nuclear weapons program in response to america's withdrawal. it sparked anger and concern among iran's leaders and it's. -- and its people. reporter: iranians to

quick to say that the u.s. president has made a mistake but what about mr macro lens show of almost like a bromance relationship with the u.s. president just a couple of weeks ago all of that lobbying appears to have been in vain did he talk about his own shortcomings. well he did say that he had dissipated that this would happen he did not say that he made any kind of mistakes and i think it's safe to say that he really gave it his all if you look at those pictures from his visit to washington d.c. but at the same time there's a huge difference between what we see is going on between trump and mcchrystal all those cases and the handshakes and all that and on the other hand what mcchrystal said while he was in the united states which was extremely critical of almost any field a policy that donald trump has been involved in so he's a true european you could say when it comes to the topics but he's well he's an exception when it comes to how he treats donald trump especially if you compare how i'm going to back up the german chancellor treats donald trump all right our brussels bureau chief max often in the germa

mr. taylor. >> thank you. a couple quick things. you require general counsel to inspect for clients with objection pageal safety and health standards at least once each congress. as part of those inspections you provide recommendations. do you currently have a list of recommendations that haven't been remediated? if so, how many on the list? and what hapgs when you make a recommendation, is there a follow up on your end? >> the process the general counsel follows is actually detailed in the report. and it sergeants with the inspection and then their findings and then if the findings are not correct, that could result in a citation. citations can be litigated before our board of directors. very rarely does anything result in citation. because the goal for the general counsel is to work with remediation. it's prospective in nature rather than looking backwards who did what wrong. so that is an ongoing process. i think that is a conversation that we could reserve for the general counsel and we can make him available to you. >> okay. >>
