mr. elliott: yeah.ly interesting are both those things, the interplay of those two sides of him. charlie: what is his relationship with president trump? mr. elliott: i think it is really good. my sense is that the president has said to mattis and the generals, or more generally, "you guys know what you are doing, go do it." i think president trump used the "authorization." what has happened is president obama during the course of eight years took a lot of authority away from the generals, away from the pentagon into the white house. you want to do that alone strike, we will fight after you want to do the airstrike, come to us. president trump is pushing that authority back down, and secretary mattis is pushing it to his generals in the field, so that is why you have seen a real uptick in activity, and strikes, special forces raids, that kind of thing. mr. filkins: generals in the field have more authority due to that -- authority to do that. charlie: when did you first meet him? mr. filkins: a new membe

mr. elliott: you are very kind to say that. is it true or not? mr. ott: it is not true that everybody knows, by any stretch. but i would like to think those are true. i know hyatt -- i know i have got the voice i know i am very , laconic. i would like to think i have got plenty of integrity. charlie: everybody in hollywood knows that if a director says "give me a sam elliott," they know what that mean. mr. elliott: get the guy with the deep voice and the laconic. being glib about it. i guess it is great to be a type, you know? i was typed as a westerner for a long, long time, and i used to bristle at that. but i have made peace with it and i realize that if it were not for that, i probably would not have the career i have had. i certainly would not have been guy,g this lee hayden known for his one western, probably. charlie: what is your one movie? mr. elliott: this one. this one. this is the time. i have a number of favorite films that are dear to my heart, and the thing that makes films my favorite or not is primarily the people that i work with alo

elliott -- ms. yates: throwing me a softball. mr. stone: elliott richardson and william ruckelshaus both refused to comply with president nixon's order that he fire special press curator archibald -- special prosecutor archibald cox. and they of course took the choice of resigning and rather than simply disobeying and waiting to be fired, which of course they would have been. neil as i mentioned is representing the state of hawaii in this case, in the supreme court. why don't you talk about your experience in the case, and what's happening and what's going to happen and all that cool stuff. mr. katyal: ok, sure, i just want to situate sally's remarks within the role of the justice department. when you're the solicitor general or sometimes the attorney general you have two , kinds of traditions that are not about zealously advocating for winning cases but just to do justice. those two traditions are being willing to -- every solicitor general, i did this and my democratic and republican predecessors did. they go to the supreme court an

mr. elliott ingle of new york. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to piggyback on the question about the human rights commission. first of all let me say, madam ambassador, i heard your speech at aipac and i thought it was a very fine speech. what's so aggravates me about the u.n. human rights council is that they have the nerve they said before detritus in judgment of anybody else, people should be investigating them for the worst human rights abuses and they do to their own people as well. so the u.n. human rights council has target issue ever since its creation. they have agenda item seven, permanent agenda item targeting israel, the only country specific agenda item at the council. obviously it's ridiculous and unfair. and the membership of the council is an embarrassment to the u.n. some of the members engaged in the worst abuses. with all the problems of the council, i do recognize that because of use leadership they council has begun to ship its scrutiny to some of the world's worst human rights violators. according to the american jew

joining us is larry summers, the charles wnchs elliott and, mr.you. >> glad to be with you. the stock market is up, where would you say we stand right now? >> i think growth is likely to continue through this year. i don't know what the number will be, probably 2% for the year, maybe a little built above that. i think in that sense we're in a relatively good phase. there's a little bit of a sense that europe is churning. i think their large geo political uncertainties at this point caused by the kind of rift we just saw emerge in nato, various things that are going on, whether it's in u.s.-mexico relations or u.s.-china relations or in the middle east, i think that's an overhang. i think there are obviously longer term issues as the recovery enters its ninth year and i can't be certain how things are going to -- how things are going to play out. i think the really interesting data in the last few months has been the reluctance, the tendency of inflation to come down, not go up. and the core measure, the so-called core personal consumption numbers
