in this, they have a programmatic end product that has predated this quarter.ot just big predated this quarter. but all businesses, notjust big agencies and advertisers, reached its user base. it is refining out. it does need some new products within that, but it is starting to sort itself out. —— it is refining that. but it is starting to sort itself out. -- it is refining that. the investment from the saudi prince, how important is that? it could be marking something. when somebody puts $250 million of shares, you can see spikes, and they could be the trend, but i do not think that is. i think it is almost a separate issue to the final financial quarterly results. the user base is down. the other thing that you can never take snap or snapchat are told is that yes it is in competition with other social media, but it looks a lot like instagram. instagram takes its inspiration from what was originally ajames inspiration from what was originally a james erskine product. inspiration from what was originally ajames erskine product. there is a real battle that. it i

that is politically programmatic for republicans -- problematic judgepublicans, like kavanaugh nominated for the supreme court and facing a significant uphill battle -- not uphill, but a difficult road ahead. centrist democrats have raised concerns even the last developments with respect to the legal to molt of the prompt -- trump -- tumult of the trump administration. vonnie: when senator mccain eva the thumbs down, that is what decided the health care vote. does have thedent tiebreak situation should it come to that. and the in general administration has been prepared for something like this happening, jim and that senator mccain did not look like he would be coming back. kevin: senator mccain and the an illustration to the respect they have for senator mccain, named the recent defense spending bill after him. we also should note the president as well as senator mccain, have had a very tense political relationship. you alluded to the health care vote. this dates back previously to the campaign. the president made no mention of the senator from arizona when he signed that bill, the defe

behind closed doors with very little understanding of who was advocating for what, or how the final programmatic spending will be determined. this year we made publicly available the list of organizations individual requests. i don't know if you know these lists hold approximately $140 million with 41% of that for housing and homelessness, 15% for youth services, 13% for community and neighborhood services. so rather than funding specific organizations, i put forward a policy. a policy-driven spending plan proposal. and we solicited feedback from the public, yourself, members of this body and advocates on this particular proposal and through an a process we grew the spending plan just over $41 million allocated for the issues that were publicly supported in this very chamber. so yesterday as well as today, mayor breed announced additional $1.7 million for those same priorities we identified. and it's through the mayor's office and the mayor's office has shared the details of the additional funding yesterday as well as hard copis are available here in our chamber for today. these additional amend

now they are talking, boy, we neglected android and are all-in on android we are into programmatic advertisingsuch the premium stuff, how has the story changed? and is it clear to you exactly where the sweet spot for snap is, audience and revenue-wise? >> they're going to get this android problem fixed, it's a majority of the phones and they are going through a big revamp on the android. that's key for them to get back on track they have not put a timetable on when they're going to launch the android version, the new revamped version we would anticipate this year. they have been working for it quite some time. speaking to them offline last night, they want to nail this before they release it so the asia pacific region is almost bigger than the european region so they're seeing good growth outside of the u.s but android is going to be the key in our opinion to get them out and to get better traction i think the other thing, too, is just it has to go beyond messaging. advertisers aren't going to pay for this there are big brands that want instantly shopable commerce. and they're going to instagr

they work with business communities to fill gaps programmatically and financially. so you saw, tangibly, it grow from less than $200,000 in the bank to now over $3 million in the bank on a regular basis. and when you have the transitions of elected officials come through, they are all smiling at this, what survived was some of the policies in place, but more importantly, as i was talking to people in the last couple days there, there is a culture of working together. because there are some people during the transition, where the ugly head comes up of, why are we doing this? is this really benefiting kids? you can see the data. but there is a culture where they will not make an internal decision for their organization until they have brought it before the full collective body and talk about why that decision is going to happen. so that culture piece. there is a third part of that ecosystem because our decision-makers are not the one in the day-to-day task of implementing. there is an intermediary body that can be led by a community-based organization, it can be led b

the two sides and setting an agenda for sometime to come in terms of activities competence of programmatic people potential and so forth. can you tell us something about how this 2+2 will be structured, what's on the agenda for the conversation and just walk our audience what's likely to happen in delhi and week or so from now? >> for civil it is is a historic meeting, first ever 2+2 between our country's. that's significant in and of itself. i think beyond that we have an opportunity to really advance the relationship in significant ways. you were kind enough to go through some of my bio and my background. i've seen a lot of high-level exchanges. sometimes you meet, talk, you go away and don't have a lot to show for it. in this case i think we're meeting at this high level to talk about regional issues and strategic issues but also can have a set of actual concrete outcomes. it's a very good combination of strategic high-level dialogue and concrete outcomes that will serve as enablers for advancing the relationship well beyond the meeting in delhi on september 6 and 7th. the conversation

so those are sort of shorter-term non-programmatic issues. >> domain taking place -- visited nineveh? >> it is a very large program. >> i've heard about that is one of the christian towns. also i know the yazidis area was a very big problem. but to till the fields. >> i was just in the balkans a few weeks ago and there is still a field of software you can't go anywhere and this is 20 years later. this is a problem that has to be dealt with, but it's a very complicated and expensive than consuming one to do. >> while they're on security, you hearing about isis? i know there's sporadic. >> basis is not dead globally. >> that in iraq? in this region? >> at certainly been beaten down, but of course we have heard reports of attacks and threats have beaten them back and defeated them militarily. again, the political conditions and social conditions, cultural conditions, the lack of reconciliation, lack of accountability and extraordinarily important issue. it does not give us communities. this is an issue that has to be dealt with as well. isis may be gone, but something like isis will come

it is the largest part of the discretionary budget but the mandatory programmatic spending when she saysicare, medicaid, that is factually off by literally hundreds of billions of dollars. stuart: we did not write a check for $2 trillion. >> you should never have to justify the american people keeping their own money in their own pockets. what you have to do is curb back spending. we have to make tough choices. what she while fail to do, if challenged, will you work with republicans to modify, medicare, medicaid, and soes security so they're sustainable for everybody into the future? you have to change the trajectory or they continue on in the red. it is not sustainable. stuart: you save it by changing its trajectory. >> you do. my 25-year-old son, my wife and i have a 25-year-old son, his progress through to social security will be marketed different than yours and mine. it is different. if you don't engage in entitlement reform which is what congress is not doing then you don't actually fix the systemic problems there in congress. stuart: do you think the love affair among the democrat
