mr. sherman again or maybe it was mr. scott about sort of, well, do we really need this, right? and clearly mr. rosenbloom was arguing yes in the full 45 seconds or whatever he was allotted to answer it. and mr. sherman basically as i interpreted what he was saying was, no, we don't really need this. we've had third party assessors in this already, bank tellers and people who know how to actually handle currency. it continues to warrant some exploration and conversation is, okay, how is this different than an apple pay or a technology that utilizes a commonly recognized and utilized currency, hard currency, central bank currency versus creating a cryptocurrency or any kind of, you know, fiat currency like that. and that's what i was sort of getting at on the very last question i had was, okay, so ultimately is this going to be fully integrated unless there's some sort of central bank system, whether it's, you know, theoretically it could be switzerland, and i think switzerland looked at that and they backed off. could it be a smaller nonplayer now trying to become a player? thin

mr. sherman. only time i know, want to worry about trump and ussia, we already know conclusion is not there. the only thing i worry, if he billion, just like our previous guy gave the country in thest world, killed thousands of americans in iraq, that is when worry about it. you understand what i'm saying, right? we'll go back to this you are just creating voters, people, i didn't vote a trump, i thought he was nut, but i plan on voting for him now because i see how the democrats are. watched him for a long time and i paid attention and i vote are, you know, i'm an independent, but in ohio, i have to have a party so i can get in. i'm registered as a democrat, i am not republican, i'm voting for trump because of the guys are acting. we know there is no conclusion, you will carry this on to know that.ou host: thanks, caller. guest: well, if the decisive support trump was opposition to the iran deal, i'm surprised you didn't vote for election sincest he preceded the iran deal. congress t member of of

mr. sherman again or maybe it was mr. scott about sort of, well, do we really need this, right? clearly, , mr. rosenblum was arguing yes, the full 45 seconds or whatever he was allotted to answer it. mr. sherman was basically as i interpret what he was saying was hey, no, we don't really need is this. we that third-party intercessors in this already, bank tellers and people that handle actual currency. so no, we don't need that. i think one of the questions that still was a result in my mind but continues to work some exploration and conversation is, okay, how is this different than apple pay or a technology that utilizes a commonly recognized and utilize currency, hard currency, central bank currency versus creating a crypto currency or any kind of, you know, fiat currency like that. that was what i was so giddy at on the very last question i had, was okay, so ultimately is this going to be fully integrated and less there's some sort of central bank system, whether it's, theoretically could be switzerland and i know switchman has looked at that. they backed off. could it be a s

mr. sherman, who is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. currency is both a store of value, one you hope appreciates and a medium of exchange. so let's focus on the medium of exchange. is there any reason why i would need a cryptocurrency to pay pour my groceries or anything else? why would i -- that wouldn't be adequately served by using dollars? yes? mr. van -- yes. >> no, not yourself, i believe, sir. because you and i are -- >> you're assuming i'm not a terrorist or a criminal and i thank you for that. >> no, i'm aim aye assuming you're an american citizen which i think is a pretty safe assumption. >> that one is safe. the other two are questionable. go ahead. >> you and have i the benefit of a well functioning and extremely important financial infrastructure that surrounds us every day of credit cards, of bank accounts. and most americans do find it not too difficult to become banked. we have an unbanked problem in this country, but it's not nearly as profound as other parts of the world. >> is there any part of the world where the unb

mr. sherman meets the media.9er has a lot to smile about. >>> coming up tonight on a a a a 8:00 p.m. >>> berkeley's iconic record store on telegraph avenue is starting a new business right next door, a cannabis dispensary, it's expected to open next month. leslie brinkley shows what the city did to make sure this dispensary could open. >> amiba record stores may be legendary, but the mother ship is ready to dis better with a great bag of weed than a great record and nothing goes better with a great record than a great bag of weed. >> the city upped it's cannabis permits from four to six to accommodate the new business. the idea is to infuse the successful business model of amiba music into a cannabis dispensary featuring local growers. >> we want to support the small farmers and the craft brands and the companies that are not the brig corporate guys, but we also need to have the big brands, we want to be the one stop shop for people on telegraph avenue. >> it's significant for telegraph in that it's going to add

mr. president, dave sherman, hawthorne bank. headquartered in jefferson city, missouri.re $1.4 billion bank, 324 employees and 24 banking centers in the western part of missouri. as a result of the tax relief we were able to give 1000-dollar bonus to our employees. $500 bonus to the part time employees. in addition to that, mr. president, we have a profit sharing plan. in the future our employees continue to benefit from what you did in your leadership role to get that tax relief passed. thank you very much. >> the banking business has been a tough business with all of the regulation and all of the problems. we want strong regulation but we want it to make sense. as you know, the banks are doing much better now. they're able to loan but we have a big one coming up. we have a bipartisan bill that hopefully be voted on very shortly on dodd-frank, very important amendments especially for these smaller banks and community banks. i think it will be a very special bill for you. are you following that? >> yes, i am. actually thought it might pass today. >> it might pass today.

the florida state director for the 2008 back home campaign and jake sherman, senior writer with politico. a lot of talk about the role mr. biden played in mr. lamb's win and whether there's a proxy fight between him and president trump. is that what we're seeing happen? >> i think if you talk to republicans, they think biden is an incredibly opponent force. listen, who knows if biden's going to run in 2020. he's doing things to indicate he has an interest. but if you talk to democrats, they want him on the trail. he's a strong speaker, they say, and he can go into districts like pennsylvania. districts like that are the majority makers for dells. they ha - for democrats. i don't want to put a whole a lot of stock in what biden did for lamb because lamb also ran a good race against someone the republicans drew tired with. >> we need to get in some breaking news new related to the special counsel's investigation. breaking news here, "the new york times." michael schmidt is joining us by phone. according to your reporting mr. mueller is subpoenaing the trump organization itself. what more do we know? >> we learned that in

mr. watch your back f-bomb guy may be back in the mix, as well. gabe sherman at "vanity fair" cites four sources tonight saying what set off this big shake-up in the president's legal defense is the president going through the roof about robert mueller's latest actions. robert mueller and prosecutors in the special counsel's office subpoenaing records set the president off in this new tizzy of changes. maybe he thinks this is the team he needs to fight the fight with mueller's prosecutors but if we're being honest here, let's get real. what he's putting together is not the team you put together to mount a legal defense for a president. in fact, to do any serious legal work at all. it appears that that part is over. what the president is putting together is the kind of team, a guy like him might put together to run a p.r. operation on tv explaining the president's actions. i mean, as hilarious as the president's d-list lineup of lawyers is starting to look, i'm pretty sure they're not actually there to do legal work. him putting these people in place makes it s

mr. trump abandons the iran nuclear deal which he calls a disaster as a way to test the water before it jumps into any kind of nuclear talks. i'm speaking with wendy shermanthe lead u.s. negotiator on the iran deal for president obama and the special north korea adviser under the clinton administration. and she joined me from london. wendy sherman, welcome to the program. >> great to be here. thank you, christiane. >> so from a purely negotiating and negotiator's point of view, with your experience in both north korea and iran on these issues, what are the pros and cons, the possible pitfalls or the opportunities of a presidential meeting even before goerks negotiations are under way? >> it's quite extraordinary in the annals of diplomacy. nonetheless i'm glad that we're getting into talks even if we art off with a meeting and n formal negotiations because talk is certainly better than war and we need to give diplomacy a chance. war should be the last resort, not the first. i think the president has to be extraordinarily well prepared. and i know he likes to shoot from the hip and has tremendous confidence in his ability as does kim jong-un. if there was

mr. calhoun: and i think we can point most notably to orville babcock as someone who betrayed grant's trust and grant kept him on too long. this is something many presidents have not learned. we have sherman adams or harry dorothy or older men or -- all kinds of people. i won't mention any names from today. another lesson i think to reiterate something i was saying earlier, and that is tell your story early, and tell it well. presidents give the impression of success, and considerable measure because they -- in considerable measure because they control the narrative. grant didn't do that well. subsequent presidents learned that is what you need to do, not only at the time to protect your his -- but to protect your reputation in history. a reporter who traveled with grant during his postpresidential around the grant'sur, who, after death, notice how his reputation was being this march. his enemies -- being besmirched. his enemies were putting out publications and so forth. this was a way john russell young, who later became librarian of congress, this was the way he put it. calumny has fallen upon the memory of grant with fury, and to tell the truth about him sounds like unreasoning adulat

mr. chairman. >> i have a letter to introduce to the record from the american federation of teachers, national education is ocean, to be entered without objection. senator durbin. >> thanks, richard sherman. it's been a long time. i don't have a lot of memories. about what it was like to be in the first grade. but i do know this. my six-year-old granddaughter who goes to the first grade public school in brooklyn, new york, has a member of what happened after parkland, florida. she told me about it. the teacher told the first- graders in her school that if there's a shooter in your school , stay away from the windows and get down on the floor. is there any sane person in america who believes that's what the founding fathers had in mind with the second amendment? that's why we are here today. that's why the students from parkland have expired -- inspired students across the united states to say to us and the politicians, enough. enough. i just have to say in straight as terms as i can, the 17th lives in parkland, florida, were worth a lot more than the week response we've heard from this committee and from the president. i believe -- [ applause ] i believe when 97% of the. and people belie
