but we keep busy all the time, but especially when we have a new--the new administration.hat happens our people. damian: how important is it to get that message from the mexican president to the different consular offices and say, "here's some money you need to--for your legal defense, if you will, of our conacionales in the united states"? i mean, because what the president did--what the mexican president did after our election here, he threw resources and he ordered the consulates that don't forget about their mission is that the mexicanos are foremost. juan manuel: yes, we have this kind of special program, but before we have similar programs, but today we give you more budget for covering this kind of service that we have already. damian: you have--is your family here? because i know that since you're traveling and all, you say your grandchildren are still in mexico? do you have some family here, or how does that work? i know it's difficult. juan manuel: not right now. my wife is in mexico city. i live in san jose alone, but they are going to come in to visit, and mayb

>> we've just had a new administrator nominated mark green, think he in particular recognizes the value of programs like this. they do cross the security governments. i think you be interested. there is a perception among this administration that we need to tie it more closely toward broader objectives. certainly within the special operations community there's interest in the general concept of those operations. there's also pressure to keep doing the store strike operations. i think it will depend on high-level leadership from the administration. there are counter forces arguing against anything that's like nationbuilding. were already in nationbuilding and will be doing it but we can do it more smartly in certain respects. anything to keep in mind, i was doing work in the aftermath and there's many want to take the model to other countries. they ran into trouble from the state department? bringing military people into some of these areas i think there are a lot of people who believe the military can worsen problems of governance and security. i don't think that's always the case. in m

the new trump administration brings hope to many people and frustration and fear to others, so we reached out to three local professional diplomats whose countries are in the headlines right now. we wanted to learn how we can begin building bridges as friends and neighbors. so i sat down with the consuls general from russia, israel, and mexico, all based in san francisco to get their perspective. >> last year, we issued 20,000 visas to americans living in this part of the world, in this part of the united states... >> the honorable sergey petrov is consul general of the russian federation in san francisco. he and the other consuls general are professional diplomats whose duties include overseeing the processing of legal documents, such as passports, here and around the world. but their primary mission is to build good relations between their countries and the united states. >> we should bring together our businesses, our artists, our actors, our scientists, our students. that's important. >> it's a challenging time for diplomats. the u.s. justice department recently indicted two russian i

in light of this growing trade imbalance is he likely to now follow through well i mean the new administration already has taken some measures we've seen huge tariffs on chinese steel or canadian lumber in pretty much as we speak there are plans to also have higher tariffs on planes from above but you from canada are also on a washing machine so from asia and then right now we have been off the talks nobody knows if donald trump is going to bail out so actually a lot is happening in that respect and sean previously singled out the us trade imbalance with germany taking to twitter back in may to say that has to change can we expect this trade imbalance to balance out any time soon. behind china and japan germany was germany the u.s. is running the third trade deficit it is true in that regard but what. can he do really really have higher tariffs for german cars for instance or pharmaceuticals i do not believe that this is very likely at this point and we also shouldn't forget the u.s. has a huge domestic market so the need to export more or to import less is by far not as high as we see it in c

economy is stewing well but most changes most economic changes that the new administration achieve came towards the end of twenty seventeen so it's really far too early to tell how those will work out and we shouldn't forget it was the tax reform that will leave a huge debt burden for the u.s. economy but if we look at wall street investors are happy but what happens on wall street is not what did happen what investors believe will happen and obviously wall street believes that there is more to come just within the first year of the presidency of donald trump the stock market here in the u.s. has gained almost seven trillion dollars and well you know not everything is rosy because if the current battle is not resolved it's not resolved the question is could have government shutdown have an impact on the u.s. economy. we so far ahead about eighteen shutdowns of the past forty years that mostly the economic impact has been limited to for sure a lot depends for how long a possible shutdown would drag on and we also should. remember that this is not a complete but a partial shutdown but yes

relatively common for counter intelligence officials to warn incoming senior officials of a new administration interactions with individuals who may have ties with foreign sources. >> in fact, that was the white house's response in this story, right. they weren't denying that it happened, which was really interesting to see that clearly jared kushner did get this information. they just said it was part of, you know, national security briefings for senior staff of the new administration and that counterintelligence officials do this routinely according to the report to warn people with, you know, warn new members of administration about people that they may associate with that have connections to foreign governments. we should make clear, nobody in this story is accused of any wrong doing. i think that's an important thing to say. it is just simply beyond interesting that you would get a counterintelligence briefing where you're told somebody you are friendly with may actually have designs on helping the chinese government get represented in u.s. policy. >> manu, the representative for jared ku

savannah, a year ago it was a new administration addressing congress. there was so much looking presidential. that was a year ago. what are we looking at tonight? >> now we have a year to talk about and what a year it's been. it was substantively consequential, big ticket items being done and shocking at times. we saw that in the opening of the show just now. the president has a story to tell. he's got some headwinds at his back. he's got a good economy to talk about. he has the tax cuts he was able to get through. he has the supreme court justice sitting in that audience. that was incredibly important to his supporters. yes he has an approval rating lower than any president in their tenure. now people have had a year to get to know him and positions calcium calcify. this is one of the rare moments in a presidency where you get a chance to reintroduce yourself. >> and we had lunch with some other journalists today, but on the record he talked about what he's learned over the last year. as a businessman always trying to win, win, win, win, he knows there

that night our new administration had already taken very swift action. a new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land each day since we have gone forward with a clear vision and a righteous mission. to make america great again for all americans thad . over the last year we have made incredible progress and achieved extraordinary success we have faced challenges we expected and others we could never have imagined we have shared in the heights of victory and the pains of hardship we have endured floods and fires and storms but through it all we have seen the beauty of america's soul and the steel in america's spine. each test has forged new american heroes to remind us who we are and show us what we can be. we saw the volunteers of the cajun navy racing to the rescue with their fishing boats to save people in the aftermath of a totally devastating hurricane. we saw strangers shielding strangers from a hail of gunfire on the las vegas strip we heard tales of americans like coast guard petty officer ashley leopard. who is here tonight in the gall

hand and this is the new administration and not the obama administration. >> lou: that raises the question, you must ask yourself the question. why would not president trump order these people, these servants of the american public to act in his interest and release that to the american people because it is our right to know? >> i think he's receiving advice not to get involved. i think he does want the information released and complained about it through tweets and things like that. one thing to complain in a tweet and get the lawyer and justice department to do what you want them to do. he's been put in a box because of the illicit criminal investigation that he can't talk about the daca drouments or warrants. >> lou: he doesn't have to talk about it. this is it a strange possibility to imagine. imagine that the president would not talk about it, but his attorney or he personally order the attorney general to release the documents to rex tillerson. release the documents and end the nonsense and create transparency that the american people have a right to demand. >> i told the white house

as new administration went in provide them with an opportunity to really see what is wrong with new jersey transit. >> you said get your story out, new jersey transit gave us a statement last week, they dispute every thing you said. they are saying they fired you for cause. >> it was baseless, they defense file a by every stretch of the imagine nation a law case book, example of a slap suit, a lawsuit against public participation, they tried to silence me, they didn't want me testifying, they didn't want me saying what really happened or exposing the problem that i brought to the executive director. bill: give me an example. in their statement, anyone can read statement, on our facebook page. but they talk about positive train control. not saying this is the braking system that could have prevented fatality during the fatality of hoboken. >> until the point that i testified in owgb august they never acknowledged they were behind on it you know, my testimony came to prove, and others having since expected and reviewed the frarc report, there is no chance at all they could be on time. they h

>> i think with the new administration there is more of a push to support law enforcem in the previous administration. that's just my personal opinion that doesn't necessarily make it true or fact, but i think any time law enforcement is told that hey, we support you in do ing your job, that's key right now because what you you see now is a lot of cities, if you look at baltimore where crime has gone up, that's because police are afraid to do their jobs because they don't want to be the next person on the news. i think that's what we need to do vincent hill thanks so much for onioning us. we appreciate your perspective and we certainly appreciate the job that law enforcement do around our country. >> on the move, the global headquarters for discovery communications is moving and it's going to effect thousands of local workers. to their breeding grounds. except for these two fellows. this time next year, we're gonna be sitting on an egg. make a u-turn... u-turn? recalculating... man, we are never gonna breed. just give it a second. you will arrive in 92 days. nah, nuh-uh

that night, our new administration had already taken very swift action. a new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land. each day

so, i think from all accounts when the new administration came in-- and look, in every new administrationyou're going to see missteps. you've got a bunch of people who never worked together before, figure out how do they want to do the process. i think this administration came in and thought they would start from scratch and the policy, and that's when you see the original immigration eo that didn't have the vetting it needed and the problems with it. i think they've settled in. i think they've run a much more traditional nsc process. and i think that the manage of paper flow, would be familiar to any of you who have worked in nsc before. there are notes of meetings, minutes of meetings. i think they tend to do, good for them, less requiring principals to come physically into the white house, thr they're able to do it by service and save time. that's a good thing. the tweaks around the margins. process is fine. you're going to take advantage of technology, but the discipline of the process is incredibly important and i think they've learned a tough lesson. i think they thought maybe they

. >> that night our new administration had already taken very swift action. don't laugh at that.or the last minute this adorable man has been delling you dimpled lives. the daily show is a past. this is the opposition. this is the now and tonight we've got our marching orders. >> this in fact is our new american moment. there has never been a better time to start living the american dream. >> jordan: yes. a new american moment. that's what trump is all. democrat like registered republican bob mueller keeps living in the past investigating all dusty evidence including who colluded. not trump he never talks about the 2016 election. the future, you remember which trump called people shit holes or had a relation with stormy manafort. that's the past. this is the new american moment. harken back to some better time in america like 2008 or 2012. find make a america great again or something stupid. americans would never vote for that. so stop dreaming about what donald trump did and wake up in a cold swept thinking about all all -- cold sweat things about all the thing he's about to do.

new. administration's plan to eliminate their right to return because gives them legitimacy. longer exists and their case. then they move to. third countries what the palestinian refugees want is the right to return to their homeland. palestinian president mahmoud abbas meanwhile slammed the u.s. president calling the actions against his people sinful. the sins of donald trump when he wrongly claimed that jerusalem is the capital of israel is a challenge to millions of muslims and christians this is favoritism for the sake of the israeli occupation for the israeli crimes for the israeli attacks on our palestinian people this means that the us has chosen to violate international law how can we trust is administrator how can we trust this superpower we will never trust them again we will never accept them as mediators between us and the israelis . then again the is a senior fellow at the brookings institution center for middle east policy joins us from arlington virginia by scott good to have you with us first of all you know the letter from the state department announcing this

last year it was about 36356 days ago we were gearing up for a new administration coming n. here we are the first full year, minus 20 days. what are we looking for? one of the key things will be how much action is made to cross the aisles. office litsz ' a very divided country right now president trump is a very diversified figure. can he reach out to democrats is one thing to be looking for. in your article he talked about all the different things we'll be looking for. a key one that we've talked about before is can he hold onto his base in we know a lot of his basis that middle america. sometimes his policies don't necessarily bef >> that was one of the main yits sarah simmons of the tax bill. it benefited rich people and not people of lower income who were a big part of president trump's base. they clearly elected him as a sort of transformative figure. what else do we have on the list here in we have a number of things in relation to, for example, will he campaign for republicans in the midterms he is someone who is popular with republican voters, but not popular with th

deepwater horizon catastrophe in two thousand and ten administratively reorganize the entire agency that oversees offshore drilling and imposed stringent new safety standards to protect workers the and the environment and the trump administration under secretary of the interior is proposing to do way with every single one of those safety measures. ok we only got a couple seconds left can you give me a quick take on what you think is going to happen with fracking which in fairness really boomed under president obama what's going to happen going into twenty eight hundred well i think we're going to continue to see expanded fracking in the united states you know the north dakota bokken the texas eagle ford are really what's pacing bigger oil. production in the united states and i think that's going to continue tyson slocum director of public citizen's energy program thank you again for being here always helpful to have you my pleasure. great thanks for watching be sure to catch boom bust on you tube at youtube dot com slash boom bust artie have a great weekend catch you next time. it's the cradle of jazz. the america is the america we have. n

frances: i think from all accounts, when a new andnistration came in, every new administration you're going to see missteps in the beginning. you have a bunch of new people that never worked together before, in and try to figure out how to they want to run the process. i think this administration came in and thought they were going to start from scratch. they were going to completely redo the policy review process. i think that is how you see things like the original immigration order. that all sorts of problems with it. much moreey run it traditional. i think the executive secretary manages the paper flow would be very familiar to any of you owe who have worked -- to any of you who have worked before. less requiring principles to come physically into the white house. it is much more efficient, you can save the principles time. that is a good thing. tweaks around the margins of the process are fine. you take advantage of technology. the discipline of the process is incredibly important. i think they learned a tough lesson. i think they thought maybe they could short-circuit some of th

. >> new overnight a federal judge has ruled against the trump administration's plan to roll back dacach protects hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from being deported. >> we're timing out when warmer temperatures arrive while we scan the area for slick spots this morning. >> and let's get some help with that, go over to dave murphy and karen rogers. good morning. >> good morning. and do you have to watch outer for those slick spots. of course not as bad as yesterday but that's not saying much. >> not really. yesterday was just horrible. let's get you to satellite. we have some sunshine on the way. you can see cloud cover trying to inch its way in from the west and we might see some patchy clouds later today. temperatures right now, though, are cold. still below freezing. 27 degrees in philadelphia. winds are calm so we don't have to worry about a wind chill. but as karen mentioned some icy patches are still possible especially on some sidewalks maybe a couple side streets. 21 degrees in trenton. we did melt some of this stuff yesterday but it didn't all dry out so there has be

i think the new administration has created a new dynamic in terms of how countries around the world amhether it is europe or the u.k., deal with corporations as a regulatory matter and attacks matter. a lot of change has been brought by this new administration and it will be interesting to see theother countries around world and how europe and the u.k. in particular for us respond to what has happened in the u.s. francine: do you believe you cave regulars are looking at the u.s. waiting to see what they are doing and ready to relax the rules? brexit is happening. post the financial crisis there was a consensus around the major economies of the world that we needed to reregulate the financial markets and do it in a way that we mean terror -- maintain parity. no institution could ever tries one regulator against the other. done and a lotas of important regulation was brought into the financial system over the last 10 years. we consistently or i have consistently supported a more regulatory environment but now there is a new equation. it does seem as though the u.s. frontling to be on the

if you think back to the beginning of the year, the narrative was that the new administration was goingo push pro-growth policies, things like tax reform, infrastructure spending, deregulatory agenda. that was going to be progrowth and ultimately pro-inflation. at western asset, we were at the view that the legislative agenda would take longer to play out. and we are concerned inflation could move lower. over the course of the first half of the year, we saw some of that optimism begin to fade and the curve flattened pretty significantly as they realized inflation prints came in lower. that is what is driving the long end of the curve in our minds. we are in a highly disinflationary environment where inflation doesn't always follow the upsurge in cyclical strength like it has done traditionally. and so, that could come at some point in the future, but again you couple this inflation with , high debt loads and you end up with pretty low rates at the long end of the curve. julie: we remain with that inflation challenge. it is facing all of us and the fed, for that matter. we have got a cha

leave what how what is a relationship africa and this new administration is concerned where is it headed is there one. of course not you know even on other issues people laugh at me in trying to figure out what the vision of mr trump is on any issue except that he keeps repeating america. slogans but asked to act with every weekend saying that. he sent troops to me share so i could get a prius to be. a security issue first for him and also an immigration issue and it's. a place you have to push away because africans at the program he has it does not reject him sent me to a constructive relationship and asia and all africa policy at all i mean what we can expect in that always remark that we are conscious lack of people coming from chad i am not allowed to. go to the us mostly a man not allowed to go to some mostly because it was i'm not allowed this and that so is only rejection and you see not being constructive but my all should be no i what do you say to those who say that perhaps african leaders have a responsibility. in the way that the new american president is disrespecting africa
