nations mine not be as innocent as they were going to cost mr rosen let me stop you for a second here because we need to take a very short break but i hope we will come back to this discussion and look into the implications of that potential economic crisis a bit more states. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to worlds apart with brindle of rosa founder and c.e.o. of rose and roubini associates mr rose. just before the break we were discussing this very gloomy scenario that you painted out and i heard you say that if. indeed happens the political implications in the two thousand and twenty electoral year could be massive especially taking into account the character of the current american president what is your worst fear is not just. is not just in the us in a number of countries political developments have shown a very different direction from the past now regarding the u.s. we have one of the there my be contributing to a potential severe downturn is th

first off, very impressed mr. rosen with your recitation abilities. [laughter] preamble of the constitution to "jingle bell rock." -- myare some out there father being one of them -- who are conservatives. they say they are not supporters of donald trump, but that he is important because he is putting the issues on the table. all oftion is, despite this disparity we have and the inability to have civil discourse in this time, is there some productivity to having him in office? do we need trump? are we somehow better for it? . >> the first thing that comes to mind is something happening in my profession that i never experienced before. for all of the attacks on the media as the enemy of the people and have chilling that is, and for all the overall city of being yelled at by people at scott,allies as lies and -- lawyers and -- liars and scu m, people are coming up thanking us for what we do. that goes to whether there is a majority for enduring values. what wee thanks are not got into journalism for. it is not why we do it. it is a lovely byproduct of t

inevitable with their video i mean a station in whatever they call it of by i mean a station might be now mr rosen i know that you also contend that if these benefits storm hits the policy tools available to the current administration for addressing it will sorely be lacking why is that. more than locking i would say that i might be constrained well down the globe because so know what this cold policy space my be. reduced any can be reduced because just think about just to make a very simple example. u.s. fed that has interest rates they started to five twenty five because before the previous crisis they teach the truly zero and the maybe they are going to go up to say three three and a half percent you can see already did that the fed has less room to cut interest rate that's sort of a deduction in policy space the balance should be below to relieve. q.e. and the programs from the fed. the four or five trillion us dollar. chains follow the being spied of the quantitative tightening fiscal space in most countries stop the the fight to the last crisis we that to g.d.p. ratio of our own thirty forty

there has been, and this is a key point, i am not a constitutional expert as mr. rosen is, but i have some views. i think that where madison was concerned about the faction of the people and the need to get an elect to representative body to adjudicate and moderate and litigate, i think we have seen a flip and we now have the people, who i believe in deeply saying we are concerned about the factions of our elected representatives, and we the people need to adjudicate and moderate on these people. the american people are saying what can we do about this? a key factor is ideologue. we have people who now believe they know what truth is and anybody who disagrees is incorrect. piecesthe most important of data we had that we just collected shows that 12% of americans believe that their elected representatives should stick to principles. .0% shade in that direction the vast majority of americans say we do not favor our elected representatives been ideologues and sticking to principles at all costs, rather we want our representatives to be non-ideologues and trade-off in delib

tester: the fact that i shut 43 thousand miles of road's fault, but i'm here to dale'sbout mr. rosen rant on public lands. you can talk to conservation groups, hunting groups out there, fishing groups out there, folks that like to go out and utilize republic lands. we fought for and got access, and we have been able to do things in whitefish, for example, to protect their watershed. the list goes on and on and on. for them to say anything different than that is revisionist history. gentlemen, thank you both for additional thoughts on that topic. we will move forward now and talk about the economy. >> the tax cuts and jobs act cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, and the u.s. government is growing rapidly with unemployment levels at the lowest level since 2000. but the congressional budget office estimates the jobs act will increase the deficit by 1.9 trillion dollars over the next decade and rates growth -- wage growth remains low for employees. do you feel the tax cuts and jobs act has been good for america? why or why not? the first response comes from sen. tester:. i think

mr. roseni loved and enjoyed the series c-span gave with the constitution center regarding the supreme court cases he had on and i think that is fabulous. host: "landmark cases" is that show available at c-span.org. thank you for bringing that up. caller: yes, i love that, and everything you do to teach and give us clarity. the young gentleman that was just on, it is kind of a sad situation that someone would make those kind of statements and have no basis upon fact that we are taking care of people who come in for a lifetime, to make that statement is somewhat ignorant. let us be clear. we have a need for a modern comprehensive immigration policy . the issue, however, with the 14th amendment -- this is as mr. rosen stated, it has to do with the context of a country that did, in fact, create stability and clarity for citizens who were here as slaves. this is a civil rights issue and i marvel at the fact that we have a president, as mr. rosen even stated, that would bring this fourth. here we ar

rosen,ry impressed, mr. with your recitation abilities. can do the preamble of the constitution to jingle bell rock. my question is, there are some out there -- my father being one of them -- who are conservative. they say they are not supporters of donald trump but that he is important because he is putting the issues on the table. my question is, is despite all of the disparity that we have and the inability to have civil discourse in this time, is there some productivity to having an office? did we need trump or are we better for it? bob: three quick answers. thing that comes to mind is something happening in my profession that i have never experienced before, which is all of the attacks on the media as an enemy of the people and how chilling that is, and for all the ferocity of being yelled at by people at trump rallies as liars and scum. people are coming up and thanking me and my colleagues in a way that i find kind of unsettling and unwarranted, but still really quite lovely. and heartwarming, thanking us for what we do. that goes t

rosen is a good bet. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: jacky rosen believes that health care is not a privilege for the few but a right for everybody. you send her to the u.s. senate and she will not let republicans got -- gut projections for people with pre-existing conditions. you can count on that. gutwill not let republicans medicare to pay for tax cuts. all of the democrats will fight will fight any attempt to roll back coverage for you and your family, which is why you have to vote. these folks have a track record. they, like other democrats, believe a growing economy should benefit everybody, not just a few at the top. instead of continuing to have republicans attack unions, we need somebody who will stand up for workers rights to organize for higher wages and stronger benefits. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: rather than side with the biggest banks and the for-profit colleges, we need people to invest in public schools and help more nevada students attend unlv and have higher education without going broke. [cheers and appla

mr. mark rosen to the u.s. executive director of the international monetary fund. is there motion to favorably report these nominations on block by voice vote? >> it has been moved and seconded. the court favorably pushes the nomination. everyone say i. with that, they have it, the nominations are agreed to pick that complete the committee's business. i move that they have their technical changes done. with that, without objections, the business meeting will adjourn, we will begin again the hearing. i think all of those for being here. you have completed your opening statement, i think. let me move to another part. the first witness today is andrea thompson, under secretary of state for arms control and international security. we had a chance to speak in the back. thank you for being here. thank you for sharing your expertise with us. the second witness is david trachtenberg, deck 80 undersecretary of defense for policy, i shared the same with you. thank you both. if you could summarize in five minutes, any written materials you have, without objection, it will be

mr. kavanaugh. it would have been facts that were corroborated and that there were -- were people -- >> i will let you finish your point. rob rosen stooin, who was with -- rosenstein, who was with the president earlier. and also the strategic communications director. i want to identify some of the people in the room, two key players for the republican party. please go ahead. >> yes, thank you. and i -- you know making allegations that are -- that are not supported and that seem too political, i think weakened the true, and that has been abused in our nation. i think democrats have hurt those voices that have not come out and anyway -- and also the me too movement was weakened because it was hijacked by the democratic party. i think hopefully people can take a step back and just calm down and realize that our judges are not controlled by the president that appointed them. >> we'll stop you there. i will share a couple of tweets. a lot are coming in. this says, so happy america has a justice kavanaugh. another tweet from deb saying trump introducing mitch mcconnell, for get it. this hoopla makes me sick. this is awkward. donald tru

mr. heller. once he became president trump, things changed and he had in trump's words been there for us. one of the most vulnerable of november. power rankings between another howler and democrat representative jacky rosena toss. one of five in the senate. the president wants republicans to control the senate and nevada is a big part of that. president trump trachea democrats and hit them hard. >> at first i used to say that's a tough statement but it's true. democrats are the party of crime. this will be the election of kavanagh, the caravans, law and order, tax cuts and comment ends. if you want to defend america's laws, borders, sovereignty, and even your dignity, then you have to go today and vote. kristin: the president was not the only -- while he campaigned, former vice resident joe biden campaign for democrat in las vegas. >> this election is literally bigger than politics. it's bigger than politics. and i really mean it. he came here four days ago are days ago or you can hear 150 years ago. that who we are. you cannot define an american based on their race, religion, ethnicity. you cannot do it. based on an idea. the american idea. basic fundamental decency and of being shredded right now. it's

mr. spellmeier's testimony, the costly efforts undertaken to identify service gaps as part of the challenge process. commissioner rosen and i discussed how the federal government could and should do more to bear the burden of having the accurate maps, and i suggested there are lots of agencies that operate in my part today, the postal service and many others that should be able to contribute to our knowledge of what's truly available to customers there. mr. spellmeier, given your company's experience on the ground testing as part of the mobility fund challenge process, do you agree that it makes sense to leverage these kinds of federal resources to collect more accurate data on broadband service and are there other ways beyond that that you think we should brung more stakeholders into the process. >> i do, senator. the biggest single cost of this undertaking is the labor to drive the roads and to deal -- we will have to deal with the stuff that's off the roads, as well, and ideas like the postal service and the sheriff's department and the state patrol have all been talked about and are worthy of consideration. beyond
