more from the right historically but that has led to a lack of specificity specifically at the national level with common core standards with which voluntary states can choose whether or not to adopt them and a lot of people think that is a curriculum and that they have content and the opposition is premised on that but they don't they mention a few foundational topics like american history but there is no specification of content or skill. now tapped into the supplementary materials you can say to have that knowledge you have to build that out with those topics of history. many people are not aware of that language and those that are may have difficulty responding because they are caught in the system not set up to respond to it but with that set of standards and lack of content because of previous battles which i talk about in the book. over content to look like a amedia circus for the national history standards. everybody shied away from specifying content. but if you don't, then you get a vagueness and a focus on skills and they think that's all i need to do. there are ways to avoid these poli

a good relationship with our regulators in each of the states and canada, as well as at the national level withlatory commission. one of the things ford has done is keep its operations local. we have local teams in each of the states we operate in. we have a small corporate office in canada. having been that close to our customers, to our regulators makes a difference. we have found that over the years we have gotten reasonable treatment from our regulators. very few this allowances over our capital programs. david: let me ask the question a different way. suppose i am a customer paying the utility bill. once you've made these investments, is my bill going up or down? is it more expensive to generate the energy will you be doing it, or cheaper? barry: a successful utility business always has to be concerned about the impact on its customers. if you look at the industry in north america, we have done a good job of investing the right amount of capital but not having a significant impact on customer rates. the reasons why that has occurred is we have had good macro conditions out there. natural g

were just electing yaks and didn't expect the reaction and the outrage at the national level just it does seem extraordinary with him. like the neo nazi so long as nobody else objects that's weird part of the reason we had in the report local officials say there were no other candidates so a mainstream. running out of people at a local level. yeah this is what it looks like but it's no secret as it has been an issue for years there's no secret that especially the traditional big tent parties in germany the social democrats and i'm going to america's christian democrats have had problems for years to actually get younger people involved in local politics especially at the local level to run for office but obviously critics are now saying that just because a person knows how to handle a computer well knows how to write e-mail that is no reason to elect someone who has had links with the new nazi scene who is part of the new nazi party to this position political reporter learning from time to time thank you now to united states where pinion polls show that vice president joe biden is leading the democratic contende

this party gets more than 10 percent of the political force to be reckoned with so does this have implications at the national level for the government if i'm going to make that she's in coalition with the s.p.d. both these spotty still record losses in these recent elections is there is a sort of parallel movement that as the if he has been getting stronger the more established parties against which the he is campaigning have been getting weaker and the conservatives have on the market and the social democrats have lost a lot of support in voting on no longer strong enough between themselves to form governments that are certainly a serious effect on their policies they have been scrambling to try and find a way of bringing back these dissatisfied versions from the side of the f.t. they've been deciding whether it's better for them to emphasize more left wing policies move more to the left or to move more to the right both of these have been attempted both tactics have been attempted neither has been particularly successful for the governing parties they really lift left a little bit at a loss at the moment hans fo

i can't help but draw parallels to what's happening now in our nation today, with the level of xenophobia and fear-mongering and those among us today who are living constantly in fear. we are grateful to the commission and everyone who has been working through this process. in some ways this exercise to rename is a symbol of what our spaces should be. we can all share, celebrate, and steward for our current residents and future generations. on behalf of president yee, we enthusiastically urge your support for the renaming of julius kahn playground today. >> thank you. sam bennet from supervisor stephanie's office. >> i am a legislative aid to supervisor stephanie. over the past year we've heard from so many neighbors and community neighbors about how much this park means to them and their families. today i'll keep it short and sweet. on behalf of our office, we are really happy to keep this robust community process taking place and we're so excited to continue the process, to hear from more community members today, and really for more generations of kids and families to enjoy the park for

with watergate. where do you rate this? >> i -- it's really in a whole other dimension. the level of playing with national security for personal gain is the potential charge here is just really beyond anything we've seen by an american president. so i would say this is much, much more serious potentially than watergate. we've got the obstruction charges that are already outstanding. we have the potential campaign act violations that are outstanding that could all get into an impeachment proceeding but this is of a different ilk, don, and much more serious. >> jack, here's the president talking about the whistle-blower. this is earlier. >> i don't know the identity of the whistle-blower. i hear it saying partners in person meaning it comes out from another party but i don't have any idea, but i can say that it was a totally appropriate conversation. it was actually a beautiful conversation. >> trump's claims that offering no proof the person is partisan. what can you tell us about who might have access to the president's phone call to another world leader? >> well, when the president speaks to another worl

stranger tenuous relationships with united nations before but this is something on a whole nother level this is the latest sort of maneuvering in a pattern of behavior to undermine the united nations but i think the broader theme people need to look at here is that this administration the trumpet ministration is actively trying to undermine and dismantle multilateral institutions wherever they can find them so they're in in a sense from a wider geo political view you could say that they're trying very hard to dismantle the post world war 2 liberal internationalist led world order that was led by the united states and in effect trying to transition into something else right now and part of that is by taking a wrecking ball to the united nations and for the host country to do this this is extremely bad. because the united states is hosting the united nations so that calls so much into question at that point so this is just beyond diplomatic games and chess is something else. patrick is the u.s. violated its international obligations as russia is arguing because i know washington would say

we can't move forward and continue to keep operating in the same, at the same level with more of a nation-buildingategy in afghanistan that hasn't worked and appears will never work. that's why we have to bring some level of agreement together with the taliban. i'm sure that adam has been aware for over a year that these negotiations have been taking place. he and i have talked about that before. both of us are skeptical that the taliban will ever keep their word, and i think that's what bother -- for good reason. i think that's what bothers all of us about the images that would have come out of any camp david talks. but what's far more important than that is whether we can ever come to agreement with the taliban so we can focus on the greater threat in afghanistan, which is isis and other powerful entities. ville jill very quickly, we're already out of time, kind of yes or no, what do you think about the president's proposal to bring 5,000 more u.s. troops home? >> well, i think that's -- no matter what we do, bringing troops home and away from afghanistan creates a more dangerous situation there

presided over when he was the leader of states simply haven't materialized on the national level have they. i would agree with you that demonic possession in 2016 was a very huge misstep and then defects of that botched exercise are still being felt today so part of the recent slowdown is this is structural because of that the quiddity hit from that exercise i think the goods and services tax in the short term has caused some russians an economy i think long term it's mostly positive for . especially interstate business within india so yes those 2. say reform efforts were a mixed bag but i think over the long run the nationwide g.s.t. implemented in 2017 well will benefit the country's growth prospects over last longer term again it's been great to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us on counting the cost thank you very much we're staying in india it's harvest time in general in kashmir where apple production contributes 10 percent to the state's $20000000000.00 income but apples have been left to rot as follows can't find people to pick the crop that's off the prime minister modi lockdown of the

listen to people's concerns and we are willing to have conversations with small groups around the country as well as at the national level about the kind of future our party will build versus the kind of future the democrats will offer if they are voted in again. host: that was liz cheney back in january, talking about getting the message out. how is the message rested netting with voters? guest: i think it is not. i agree with her analysis. the ability to elect more republican women is connected to attracting republican women voters. women aree seeing is leaving the republican, at least from 2016 to 2018 and that is true for white women who have historically voted republican. whether or not that trend continues, it will determine who wins elections, but what the representation of the republican party looks like. host: next call is from new york. caller: good morning. i am retired, and i wanted to question, do you think the reason why republican women don't run -- look at what these women go through. examples, sarah huckabee. other women in the trump organization, they are called -- every -ist there is. i think they fear

prime minister, president trump announced new sanctions against the iranian national bank with the president calls the highest levelons ever imposed on a country. he also made these remarks with the possibility of going to war with iran. >> the easiest thing i can do. i can do it while you're here, would say go ahead, go do it. and that would be a very bad day for iran. that's the easiest thing i could do. it's so easy. for all of those who say, oh, they should do it. it shows weakness. actually, in my opinion, it shows strength. because the easiest thing i could do, go ahead. knock out 15 different major things in iran. i could do that. all set to go. >> joining me is white house correspondent jeff mason and msnbc national security analyst julian. >> what do you make of the president's comments so far today in talking about increasing sanctions on central bank and iran? >> number one, the president wants to show he's doing something and installing these sanctions is certainly a big step. but he also we play part of the clip. he's reluctant to go to a military action against iran. this fits with his pattern when he

i think i want to start with kind of the national level stuff. i just came back from the national association of area agencies conference on ageing and board meeting, i'm a california representative for n4a. it was in new orleans, and you know that meeting in new orleans in the summer was a little harsh. i was talking about our approach to ageing in san francisco. in addition, we had katrina williams who works in the human resources division who came and did a training on implicit bias and equity and inclusion, and it was really well received by participants in that workshop. the other news, and i may have mentioned this early because we knew about it earlier is we were the recipients of an award because of the partnership that we have with community center and with senior centers with the older adult choir program. so community music center was with us to receive the award. it was really exciting for them, and there's been some press in san francisco about this. but it's really -- it's such a great intervention, and the people who are involved i

national level. >> it is interesting republican supported and for the most part with reforms and trust so actually they were the heroes in many states of the suffrage movement so you have the parties are very nervous about suffrage because it is a presidential election and then the candidates themselves who play a part in my story because both sides want the president for a candidate to support them so james from ohio is running with a young franklin roosevelt as his vice president and partner and then we have warren g harding who is also running from ohio and they are being pressed by the suffragist and anti-y suffragist. so you do see the presidential election is what is happening in nashville. >>host: eureka california good morning. >>caller: i just want to pass on from my late grandmother who was a part of the whole suffrage movement in minnesota back in the day to get the vote. then she was an educator as well. so she started a private organization at that time a lot of the women that could not own property or cash a check so they had a private group which nobody knew and they would collect m

with that outbreak. >> i wonder if through this experience on a national level of how to communicate of this outbreak gave you information that was scalable? spirit that is something that can be addressed with the number of individuals to talk about the new york city measles experience and those on the panel to do on the ground work with families that many families did not feel like they had time with their pediatricians or healthcare providers to go in depth in those that they heard about those immunizations. so then to go elsewhere for that information and then working with the provider community to streamline information. but on the other end to realize to make sure we have incredible messengers within the community to create pockets of correct information that can be sustainable or other issues. >> and back in 2000 when we did not see measles anymore they don't have the same memories that i do they were much more focused on the vaccine than the disease. >> so are you do anything of parents of kids who are lawn - - hospitalized? there always these compelling stories. we know that's not true but that's
