there's a legal predicate. what could you do under the law to use the executive order and then there's a policy decision? we've met the legal threshold. are we going to use the executive order? as we go in to a transition, do you believe there are instances where you could meet the legal predicate on the executive order and it will be up to the new team as a policy matter as to whether or not to use it and if you do, what are the type of factors you think they should consider when making that policy? >> so there inevitably will be instances where you can meet the legal threshold and then you'll have the policy discussion as we have had as to whether or not to also impose sanctions. i would say the same is true in the terrorism realm which has been part of our experience. you may be able to meet the legal threshold for indicting a terrorist actor but then a question about whether or not you also impose a sanction. the types of factors ought to be, is it going to advance our national interest? is it going to crea

that nation is predicated on what i mean by that is often we think of in terms of an october think of rage is violence. but those policies sanctioned violence. this policy is made that brutality can hotbed and there's not any kind of consequence in the criminal justice system because the policy say this is okay to terrorize the population. >> so when you see that he wins pennsylvania and michigan for the first time in the 80s, why is it not about economics? you don't see the economic isolation? >> and were economics plan, economics is a cover for a race so that i think one of the things that is driving us in this multicultural world that we are in, multicultural nation we are in is the sense that i may be okay making 70 plus thousand dollars a year, but as more blacks and latinos and asians than the ones are seeking access to the resources, what does that in for my grandchildren? what does that mean for my sister's kids. that again is the mass were economics plays them. but what is not clear is what rage has done is by systematically undermining the population is actually undermining

an intelligence picture -- factual predicated an intelligent picture. address, henaugural talked about america first. the intelligence offices i know are globalists in their outlook and believe that american security depends on our interdependence with other countries. much of the work that our professionals do is working with other countries to keep a safe. who live people overseas, they like serving overseas, they are more like state department professionals more than anyone else in our government. they know understand that you have to be involved in the world. if we just pull up a drawbridge and retreat and have a nativist, nationalist approach to security, it will not work. for all of those reasons, i think we are potentially in for more stormy weather ahead. -- jeremy, the first point being long-standing intelligence community assessments that russia is engaged in cyber threats with the united states. and what you do now focusing on cyber threats, what is the spectrum of threats we face? what should americans be worried about? >> i would start with

he's going to give us the kind of nation we want and that nation is predicated on those policies.nd what i mean by that is that often we think of in terms of the violence that happens, that's how we grade is violence but the policies, that sanctions the violence. those policies mean that brutality can happen and there's not any kind of consequence in a criminal justice system because the policies say this is okay to terrorize thispopulation . >> so when you see that he wins a pennsylvania and the michigan for the first time since the 80s, why is it not about economics? you don't see this economic isolation maybe? >> where economics plays in, you've got to understand economics is a cover for race so that one of the things that is driving this in the world, that we are a multicultural nation that we are in is the sense that i may be okay making 70+ thousand dollars a year as more blacks and latinos and asians and muslims are seeking access to the resources, what does that mean for my grandchildren? what does that mean for my sister's kids? i think that again is the mass that economi

every national security council meeting begins with a factual predicate of an intelligence picture. if we throw that out the window, we are destined to make very poor policy. finally, i do think that there is also something very important in the president's worldview. during his inaugural address, he talked about america first. fundamentally the intelligence officers i know our globalist in their outlook. they actually believe that america's security depends on our interdependence with other countries. much of the work that our intelligence professionals do is working with other countries to keep us safe. these are people, many of whom live overseas, they like serving overseas. they are more like state department professionals than almost anyone else in our government. they raise their children overseas and they believe and know and understand that you have to be involved in the world. if we just pull up the drawbridge and retreat and have a nativist, nationalist approach to our security, it won't work. for all those reasons, i think we are potentially and for more stormy weather ah

a lot of those predictions were predicated by the european union being left by britain. but somewhere about the consequences of the vote. that was more long term, the vote. that was more long term, the detail on this one, it is consumption driven growth and that is what is helping bring the uk's economy forward and make it perform better than would have been expected. i suppose that potentially could cause trouble because this is one of the things that falls first when things get rocky. yes, a lot of what we have seen with consumption is being fuelled by debt soaked consumer credit increased over the same period by 6.6%. one of the banks was warning today there is a real danger that it was not profitable any more to lend money too risky. it is a real concern because the main issue that we are seeing with uncertainty is that it is affecting investment and that is basically future growth, so when you have investment decisions being delayed and baddiel and in some cases, just forgotten altogether, it tends to lead to negative outcomes in the future. that is when people migh

vertically by stepping up our efforts to counter daesh in cyberspace, because we know we will not i predicate this until we defeat the ideologies that lie behind it. we will be continuing later i am sure we will discuss other topics, syria and russia. on defense and security cooperation, we have united in nato as the bulwark of our collective defense. we reaffirmed our unshakable commitment to this alliance. i think you said you were 100% behind nato. we are also discovering the importance of nato continuing to ensure it is equipped to fight terrorism and cyber warfare has all original -- all conventional warfare. i am encouraged to tell european leaders to deliver on that so the burden is more fairly shared , if only by investing properly in our defense, we can ensure we are properly equipped to face our share challenges together. and finally, the president and i have mentioned future economic cooperation and trade. trade between our two countries is already over 150 billion pounds a year. most investing in the u.k., and we have around $1 trillion invested in each other's economies. the u.s.

the predicated it's too early to talk about lifting sanctions, and sanctions will remain in place for now, and what do we know about the substance of the call and where things go from here? >> yeah, absolutely, george. no mention at all of the world santion, and they were looking at restoring quote, trade and economic ties between the two countries, something that would be clearly helped by the lifting of sanctions. there are a couple other elephants in the room on this call, and no mention of all of the russian interference in the u.s. election, and no question at all of the nato questions, and that is a serious concern to russian nato troops on its eastern border including u.s. troops. but they did discuss other various things, nonproliferation, and the korean peninsula, and they made it a priority according to the kremlin to work together to target international terrorism, particularly isis in syria. that, they said, was the key point, and they did say that they were working towards planning a face-to-face meeting. the time and place of that not yet set. but the tone of the meeting

actually preview and asked the question i willing to submit information must be because that's a predicate to winter is a necessity to call upon for the information. so i hope we can do that prospectively so this way it's not a question of, is not seen as a partisan cue. but many go to mr. tillerson's, and i will be concise bu but i o want to say a few things. first of all after considering his nomination to be second estate, i will be casting my vote against him today. for the 11 years that i've served on the senate foreign relations committee i have taken the advice and consent of state department nominees seriously. and while considering hundreds of nominations for both the democratic and republican administrations, even where i disagreed with the nominees views, especially when they were just espousing the views of an administration, i've often supported them. it's the other qualifications of the position i consider important were met. i respect mr. tillerson's experience and willingness to serve his country, but after our private meeting and lengthy public confirmation process i remai

dire predictions were predicated on david cameron triggering article 50 the day after the vote., to frighten the british voter in devoting to remain, a lot of this had a political undercurrent. some of it was economics. where we are going to be in violent agreement is... i would say three to five years, i would not say three to five years, i would not say six months, years "brexit" negotiations, this is going to be choppy water. the problem we have as a nation at the moment is you have the eu remains propaganda sheet, the financial times... the eu remains propaganda sheet, the financial times. .. tried to destroy it that stage. trying to rip it up? any time you get bad news, it is always... the fact is, so far, the doom mongers are wrong. for now. from the bank of england they say, business as usual, the spending power in peoples pockets was not materially dented, that is a key point, because... you don't hear the word sorry. interest rates are historically low. people still spending on the never—never, big—ticket items, the cars. very crucial, crucial to remember that people st

. >> john sop talks a lot about the confusion caused by the predicate offenses that were listed. in fact, in colorful terms explained why those compounded the vagueness in the residual clause. of course you don't have those here. >> yes, your honor. i would start with where justice kennedy started. which is as a general matter, one does not ordinarily think that giving examples makes something more vague than it would otherwise be. i know this court spent a lot of time trying to draw lessons from those examples with varying, with actually no success and varying methodologies to try to narrow what is otherwise a vague statute. and the government's argument in johnson was that congress succeeded in narrowing with those enumerated elements, those enumerated crimes. and this court concluded that it didn't. but a statute that has examples even if they are cop fusing example, has to be better than a statute that -- >> well, the statute as a whole might be because you can look at it and say there's one of the examples. but seems to me that argument doesn't respond to the point it make t

cbo budget and economic projections predicated on the assumption the laws that govern federal taxes and spending generally remain in place for the entire project and period. even if that did occur there were no changes and are no changes in laws before the end of the period, it would not be possible to predict economic outcomes precisely because many other factors are uncertain. our goal is to construct budget economic projections that fall in the middle of the distribution outcomes given the fiscal policy and body and current law and availability of economic and other data but we would be happy to take questions. before asking questions please state your name and news organization. >> how would you characterize, generally speaking, the economy and budget outlook the president is inheriting versus what president obama is? >> with respect to the economy we still have unused slack in the economy and it will take a couple years to dissipate. we also expect economic growth is going to be 2.1% and then 1.9%. we have some real economic growth challenges going forward but we are not in the ful

every meeting begins with a predicate of an intelligence picture. if we throw that out the window we are destinned to make bad views. the president talked about america first. the people i know believe america security depends on the work with other countries. much of the work intelligence officers do is working with other countries to keep us safe. these are many of whom live overseas, like serving oversea. there is more like state department officials than anybody in the country. than raise their children overseas and they believe and they know and they understand you have to be involved in the world. if we just pull up the draw bridge and retreat and have a nationalist approach to our security it won't work. for all of those reasons, i think we are potentially in for stormy weather ahead. >> the long-standing intelligence community assessment that russia is engaged in aggressive cyber activity in the united states and obviously the election is getting all of the attention button rand is the acting assistant secretary for homeland security and man

or so ago to see how much momentum are we going to have going into 2017 and will these margins predicated on tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks be upset by higher interest costs. >> david, there are a lot of peel who do feel rally after the election is getting a little thin and that the expectations, and he has made this point a number of times. the market seems to be thinking everything on the new administration's agenda will get done quickly. it is all perfect. that may be the case but if not, is that going on put a chink in the market? >> i agree with you that the market is engaged in a little wishful thinking. the stock market is pricing donald trump atly the hundred, everything according to plan. we forget at the end of the day we are talking about washington. even if donald trump starts to try to take action on day one, best case we see some of this stuff come through in the second half of 2017. i would add, it will be far easier to make progress on tax reform than infrastructure spending or deregulation. so there's a lot priced into this market. and unfortunately, we'll to have wait

again this is all predicated on the idea that states have a constitutional right to decide whether they want to be free states or whether they want to be on the attitudes about race come from his consistent advocacy that they should enlist african-americans. he begins making that point. this is can be a long drawn out war. only on the confederate armies but also the infrastructure and there is no bigger or more important infrastructure than slavery. they are coming by the dozens across our lines lets drain manpower from the south and let's win this war. if we do the slave states that don't leave the union will immediately go over to the confederacy. throughout the summer as it goes very portably. they begin making this point even more aggressively. and it is clear that drumbeat is falling on deaf ears. they begin taking his criticism public. he is seen in the country -- company of army officers and in fact he's actually at the speech standing next to a politician who argues for this. he doesn't say anything but his very presence there speaks volumes about where his heart is on the issue

that the basis upon which they apt granted -- the basis upon which they presidential fromed was predicated on miss cower's lives and it moves if you're ready to kill you're willing to lie. this matter should have never been tried a second time and never been forced to do this a sick time it's a disgrace that resources of theet state had to do that the secretary time. >> a yeevious i'll. >> it will quiet z27mkz z16fz y27mky y16fy sgrvr an update on george h.w. bush his health continues to improve and they hope he'll be out of intensive care. his wife barbara was diskathed and expected to return to the hospital as a visitor to be by her 92-year-old husband's side. >> we wish them both well. >> absolutely. >> rain is falling hard on west coast prompting flash flood warnings across southern california and at least three countyes are uming he vationtions near burn areas. more from california. >> reporter: southern california being inundated with water. on monday a huge storm system dumping rain near record rates and evacuations in at least three counties. >> it's been an add venture. pretty sca

. >> johnson talked a lot about the confusion caused by the predicate offenses that were listed, and in fact, in colorful terms to explain why those compounded the vagueness in the residual clause. of course, you don't have those her here. >> yes, your honor. i would start with where justice kennedy started and as a general matter, one does not make ordinary examples of what makes something more vague than it would otherwise be, and i know that the court spent a lot of time to draw lessons from those examples with varying, and with actu actually, no success in varying methodologies to try to narrow what is otherwise a vague statute, and the government's argument in johnson was that congress succeeded in narrowing with the enumerated elements, the enumerated client crimes, and this court concluded that it didn't. but e a statute that has examples even if they are confusing examples has to be better than a statute that has -- >> well, the statute as a whole might be, because you can look at it and say, there is one example, and it seems that the argument does not make the residual clau

predicated on the fact that regulations would be less onerous.zillion environmental regulations out there bayer gets trapped into and raises costs and monsanto because they're a big agricultural company. the corporate tax rate which is at 39% state and federal, 35 with just federal, if you bring it down to 15 that is a good thing. this is where the devil meets the details, neil. will donald trump go through with his tax and regulatory cuts? one of the reasons markets are skiddish, listen, markets have gone up greatly since he was elected. take it from january 1, it's a different story. neil: but they ran up far and fast but were due for a little of this, right? >> there is skittishness priced into the market. he is talking a lot about repealing obamacare first and replacement with whatever. walls. infrastructure spending, talking down the dollar. talking down biotech stocks. all these things. neil: for these drug guys talking about the way we price drugs. >> that's it. neil: is this their counter to that trying to get him off their you know what?

y kquestion is predicated on what way can we begin discussions between each other out and if you can resolve issues when so many gone i ave basically guess online with what the that before me had said we all kind of go to our idea -- idealistist camps. that you e first step would recommend doing to nitiate that process a successful outcome? guest: well, that is a great question, caller. you that i confronted that question when i was teaching at the university semester.s this past and they asked me a similar the ion and i will give same answer. conversation. the first step is always conversation. the first step is always talking to someone and listening to what say. have to talking to someone you don't different ne who has beliefs and keep an open mind to says.he person one thing we probably don't do as well as a country right now to what someone who believes differently than we do, what they have to say. we do a lot of talking at people people. of talking to i think the first step we need to take as a country especially race relations is to talk to people and then listen to what that

cautious optimism, and support, predicated on hope, but tempered by a realistic need to wait to see how the security council behind it. many details of the agreement remain secret. but the russian government, which brokered it along with turkey, says other countries should not obstruct the process. translation: i don't want to criticise, but i would like in the most delicate way to just hint to colleagues it is a very complicated process. everything we have been able to achieve is the result of enormous work. so, please, let's keep things clear. please help us. if you don't want to help, just make sure that you don't complicate things. in syria, many questions remain. will aid get through to everyone? how will breaches of the truce be handled? what will happen to groups that haven't signed the deal? and, the biggest of all, will president assad remain in power? the rebel grouping with support from the united states still says he has to go. all of the war crimes he has committed here, these crimes, you cannot expect someone like him to go on ruling syria. so, if he doesn't go, it means t

predicated on what we can we begin discussions between each other to figure out and resolve these issues when so gonepeople have basically on line with what the color before me had said. we go to our idealistic camps and shelter ourselves around that and pull away from discussions that needs to be had between communities and police officers. what is the first step that he would recommend steering to initiate that process for a successful outcome? james: that is a great question and i will tell you that i confronted that question when i was teaching at the university of arkansas this past semester. they asked me a similar question and i will give you the same answer i gave them. .onversation the first step is always conversation. the first step is always talking to someone and listening to what they have to say. talking to someone you don't know, someone who has different beliefs from you. to what thepen mind person says. one of the things we probably don't do as well as as a country is to listen to what someone who believes differently from we do, listen to what they have to say. we do a

it is easy to let a predicate bloated.whatever work you want it before you know it, you have a product all over the place and does not have a singular voice. that itself is complex. managing to get somebody to be simple and straightforward, even now it has a tremendous amount of complexity behind the scenes, that is the hardest part of any ceo's job. actually saying no more than you say yes. emily: what are some features you ponder, through around that you ultimately said no? kevin: we had a lot of people asking for sponsored filters at one point. one company wanted a toothpaste whitening filter. we shouldense because just do sponsored versions. we focused on simplicity a doing the rit thing by the consumer, which is not to make it commercial anmake it great, focus on what people love most. there are decisions like that every day better like easy, you can make a few bucks by doing them, but they end up adding complexity to the product and it does not add a lot to your bottom line either. emily: you redesigned your logo, wh

they don't want the justice department probably using the predicate of an investigation into voter fraudo make it harder to vote. you can kind of see where that's going. but in terms of the messaging, this does appeal to a chunk of his base. in terms of that sort of middle ground, not the voters he's never going to win over, not the voters he's got but the other americans who are waiting to see how this settles, stuff like this is a distraction. >> charlie, i have always said about you we've had a lot of guests on the air during this campaign season, a lot of people where you're sitting at the desk who have changed. they've changed before our eyes who they are and what they believe in. you are a very loyal republican from the midwestern u.s. and during that montage at the top of the broadcast, i was watching you, too, and you were nodding no. you find this highly disturbing. >> first of all, yes, it's a distraction and it's a lie about the numbers. this is really not about the numbers anymore and it not about voter fraud. it's about the whole concept of reality, about truth and about whe

now the reassurances of the second part of that statement are predicated on the first part. that the people retain their virtue and vigilance. yes, we must be vigilant. and the first step in such vigilance is to ask those who want to rush to take away existing protections is simple question. where's the fire? what happened since the open internet rules were adopted to justify uprooting that policy? as i said a moment ago, network investment is up, investment in innovative services is up, and isp revenues and stock prices are at record levels. so where's the fire? other than the desire of a few isps to be free of meaningful oversight, why the sudden rush to undo something that is demonstrably working? vigilance requires the fcc or the congress make the case as to why the american tradition of open networks should be reversed. fortunately, the rules under which the fcc must operate provides for just such vigilance. contrary to what you might have heard, reversing the open internet rules is not a slam dunk. the effort to undo the open internet will face the high hurdle imposed

it is predicated on the decision the laws that currently govern taxes remain in place for the entire projection time. even if that did occur, there were no changes to those laws before the end, it would still not be possible to project budgetary and economic outcomes precisely, because many other factors are uncertain. budgetl is to construct economic projections that fall in the middle of the distribution of possible outcomes given the fiscal policy provided by current law and the availability of economic data. we are happy to take your questions. he for asking a question, please state your name and organization. how would you characterize, the budgetpeaking, outlook that president trump is inheriting, versus what president obama inherited eight years ago? dir. hall: with respect to the economy, we still have slack in the economy and we do expect it is going to take another couple of years for that to dissipate. also expect that economic growth over the next couple of years will only be at 2.1% and past that, 1.9%. so we do have economic growth challenges going forward. in the crisi

every meeting begins with a factual predicate of an intelligence picture never throw that out the window, we are going to be destined to make very poor policy. finally, i do think that there's something very important in the president's world view. during his doctoral address company talked about america first. fundamentally, the intelligence officers i know aren't hopeless in the outlook. they believe that american security depends on our interdependence with other countries. much of the work that our intelligence professionals he was working with other countries to keep us safe. these are people come in many of whom lived overseas, they like serving overseas. they are more like state department professionals than almost anybody else in our government. you have to be involved in the world. if we retreat and having nativist nationalist approach to our security it won't work. so for all of those reasons, i think we are potentially in for more stormy weather ahead. >> i think i'm going to go to two of germany's four-point they are. the first being long-standing intelligence community asses

but again this is all predicated on that idea that states have a constitutional right to decide whether or not they want to be free state or slave states. but the biggest statement on his attitudes about race come from his consistent advocacy that the army should enlist african-americans. and he begins making that point early in the war. as early as april 1861, he says to the president this is going to be an long drawnout war. it is going to require us to make war not only on the confederate army, but also the confederate infrastructure. and there is no bigger a more important infrastructure and slavery. let's enlist escaped slaves, they are coming by the dozens across our lines. let's augment our power, drain main power from the south and let's win this war. lincoln said no, no, no, we can't do that because if we do, the slave states you don't leave the union will immediately go over to the confederacy. throughout the summer as the war goes very poorly for the union, cameron begins making this point even more aggressively. he says let's enlist african-americans. it's clear that drumbea
