raoul, thanks for phoning in. we appreciate it. always great to hear from you. >> great to speak to you. >> raoul pal, global investor. these are pretty shocking themes here. if we are to see this rising dollar. >> when you say wit that accent, it sounds good, right? i think it all sounds great. i wonder, though, if we start to see a more dovish fed, does that put pressure then on the dollar and reverse some of that oil price movement, or are we still the best house in a terrible neighborhood? >> in a relative basis it probably doesn't do much damage to the dollar strength. if you screen out a dollar on a chart, to his point, it has a lot more room to climb higher. everyone is looking at it in a microcosm. you look at it on a year basis or two year basis, the dollar has a lot more room to climb higher. everyone has been looking at that tailwind, lower oil. that's a great point on the stronger dollar. >> i actually think in the shorter term. you could have the federal reserve talk the dollar down. it's the only tool they have left.

now raoul castro is doing the same thing. for a while, some of us were wondering, what is this campaign about lifting the embargo getting cuba out of the terrorist list, and so exchanging cuban spies for an innocent american hostage? now we do the answer. for about a year, it has been a coalition of a well-finance very respected organization that they all had an agenda. and if you put it on a blackboard, this is not a personal attack, but if you put it on a blackboard, getting cuba out of the terrorist list, getting the embargo lifted, providing more dollars towards travel, all of those issues were part of an agenda that was promoted by "the new york times," by the u.s. chamber of commerce, by the brookings institution cuban projects, by the council of the americans, by the atlantic council, buty the center of strategic studies. all these ideas -- all these folks at the that something was happening. nobody knew, but they were campaigning were trying to portray what the president was going to do in a favorable light. now they

to answer, no, i don't see how epa could say a state based decision making is equivalent to federal raoul. >> as an experienced regulator yourself, i assume you've spoken with your counter-parts in other states. can you share your thoughts on the rule and particularly the implementation. >> as i testify we have a real issue with the implementation because we feel it still would be a dual process. it would be confusing for the states. they have to decide whether or not, one they are going to open up their salt waste management plan. even if they do, will that really even eliminate the dual regulatory regime. we do not think it will. >> who testified in their opening statement about the six months required under epa? >> that was yours. >> in some states might take 18 months to do their solid waste plan based upon the laws in the state and hearings and notifications and the like. >> that's correct. the issue it's not a simple fix. open up the plan and approved. it's a public participation process, which is fine. but that will take some extra time. >> finally my last question for mr. easterly

something raoul pal brought up last night. >> i think this year all things being equal, i think we may have one of the biggest moves we've seen in a long time and in the dollar. i think we have a potential for a plus 50% year in the u.s. dollar. if that's the case, oil will come down further. oil is just one of the things. >> so when you take a look at what happened with retail sale, when you take a look at what happened with kb homes yesterday, the consumer is not necessarily getting that boost that everybody thought the consumer would get because energy prices are that much lower. >> it hasn't been this low that long. oil had a precipitous move down. and i also think we really have to see specifically who did well and who didn't. i don't believe everybody did poorly. to me a lot of things got very kroefr so oversold today. a new position for us is michael kors. the stock is always way too expensive. they have had great growth. they have done a ex-book job of building a business. it trades like there is no growth left in this story at all. i absolutely don't believe that to be the cas

. >>> cuban president raoul castro wants the u.s.return its base at guantanamo bay and lift the trade embargo before the two nations reestablish normal relations. castro is pushing towards full diplomatic relations but says if these problems aren't resolved, diplomatic rapprochement wouldn't make any sense. president obama announced renewed relations with the island nation last month. >>> there's a deadline now about an hour from now for saving two hostages being held by isis. the terror group holding a japanese journalist and a jordanian fighter pilot. isis threatening to kill them if jordan does not release that failed female suicide bomber. that's the message in a new audio recording believed to be the voice of that japanese journallities shown here. the proposed prisoner swap puts japan and jordan at odds with long-standing u.s. policy. >>> we don't make concessions to terrorists. um, that is our policy. every country has the ability and the right to make decisions. >> okay. >> about obviously within the realm of what is acceptab

so you have guys like jim jordan raoul labrador they want to break away and start their own group that'supposed to be a more conservative group that will have one of the main tenants of their governing philosophy, to hold leadership accountable, whatever that means, they felt the republican study committee, supposed to be the group that did that did not go far enough. so if anybody, jose what you're starting to see is a real organized opposition to the leadership within the house gop. it's always been there. it's been kind of sort of loose. you've always been sort of been able to count 20 25 members oppose leadership on a variety of issues. now they're trying to formulate their own group have a figurehead, most likely it will be jim jordan from ohio and they're going to be a force that certainly will try to exert as much pressure as they can on those contentious issues you mentioned such as immigration. >> talk about that. the house expected to pass a bill in the next hour curtailing president obama's executive action on immigration. what can we expect in the senate and in the future? >>

raoul and obama might have talked about a lot of things but for ordinary people everything is just the bad, she says. but with every day that passes she is waging a private battle against the system one nail at a time. so on the one hand you can look at these changes introduced by president obama as a sign that relations between two former cold war foes could start to be getting on to a new path where both sides put old antagonisms aside. on the other hand though you can also look at this as possibly a back door attempt by the united states to spread more cash at lower levels of the cuban economy. and in that way, start in motion its own grass roots political process to try and get ordinary cubans to push the cuban government for change here on the island. fredricka. >> karl penhaul, thanks so much for bringing us into the lives of the cuban people there and to this new change. thanks so much. >>> we'll have much more on the "newsroom"right after this. sir, we're loaded and getting ready to go... ...we're going to need you on the runway.

humanitarian issues between our two nations writing personally to both president obama and cuban president raoul castro. pope francis played a great role. over 18 months quiet talks moved forward including a critical one late last year hosted by the vatican. pope francis said to a group of new vatican ambassadors the day after the release of alan gross "the work of an ambassador lies in small steps small things, but they always end up making peace, bringing closer the hearts of people,sowing brotherhood among people. today we're happy because we saw how two peoples who had been apart for so many years took a step closer yesterday." what wise and beautiful words from this imrissive impressive pope francis, the first from laton america and one widely recognized for his humility and dedication to the poor and commitment to reconciliation. he is clearly continuing the role of the vatican in pursuing peace and freedom. whether pope paul ii's role in poland or the vatican's help in a border stand jf in the 1970's and a 2007 des dispute between britain and iran over hostages, that is why today senators
