coordinator in making sure that rubicon stays in compliance with the i.p.m. ordinance and implements that into their training opportunities. over the last several years, they don't apply herbicide as part of their programs anymore. we felt that overall consistent with the city's i.p.m. ordinance directives, which is to use application as a last resort, that was an environmental benefit. we were able to work with them on changing it and hopefully to the benefit of everyone on the island. and then finally, we've been working with them as i talked about earlier on the stewardship segment, a variety of demonstration gardens on y.b.i. i think we're trying to get more participation from different segments of the community, but if they're driving by them and learning from them, that's a good thing, as well. just this last weekend, we had a removal party, removing the ivy from outside the treasure island gym and replacing them with natives. this is what they look like. we expect them to fill in and provide some nice environment there. this is one that we basically de

is less tha n of putting out something that is less than true, that feels like it will cross the rubicon saying, twitter is not the real world, it is overpopulated disproportionately byjournalists and politicians, some people listening to this did not even know it happened. it is also the case, some people in the conservative party central office would say that the fact we are talking about the shows the tactic has worked, but i think there comes a point when we have to say that for the party of government to put this information out, which is wrong and false and could dupe people, that is dangerous. the real issue is regulation, we have a huge amount of regulation, we have a huge amount of regulation for what you and i can say on broadcast media but we do not have that for social media. "brexit" referendum, donald trump election, electoral law is hopelessly out of date as concern social media and has hardly been updated at all in the past three years. lets turn to norman, as well, following all that for us at westminster. is this damaging to boris johnson for us at westminster. is this

region that's different in humans from other other animals so where do you cross this anatomical rubicon because you can't yet so i would reject the idea and say let us assume all animals are conscious right leg.

brain region this different in humans from other other animals so where do you cross this anatomical rubicon you can't yet so i would reject the idea and say let us assume all animals are conscious right let's assume there for a fetus is conscious but then that's a bit odd because he really saying a rat is conscious like you or me know of a sin on so you say well let's think about consciousness a little bit and for me my great thinker insight once when i was on holiday i suddenly thought with our thinking about unconsciousness and with an a c. easier and with sleep both forms of unconsciousness it's gradual you can have stages of sleep and stages of an a c z or you can have a different depth of being unconscious and so it reasons what if consciousness also could be very like a dimmer switch you could vary in degree and if that was the case then a rat could be conscious but not as conscious as a cattle dog and a cattle dog could be conscious but not as conscious as a primate and a fetus could be conscious but not as conscious as a full term baby in turn not as conscious as an adult so if you

and finally, we'll end with some of the work that we've been doing on the ground currently with rubicon landscape. they're our master landscapers, as you're aware. we really over the last 2.5 years have developed a good relationship with lourdes, their manager. they do do existing groundwork for us. we've gotten them into a seasonal maintenance where they remove the invasive. they do work on kind of a regular management schedule. peter and i also work with the city's i.p.m. coordinator in making sure that

have we crossed the rubicon? or do we go and win back the segment with people who have embraced that incremental socialism? >> guest: jefferson was one who said every generation has to renew the water the tree of liberty. that's true with socialism and bad ideas but every generation has to realize the problems with socialism and what comes from it but the big lie that is out there right now and the big superficial latitude they throw at you is they say the intellectuals in america used to like stalin then we learned he was bad and that's not the socialism we want. we used to like castro and bernie was a big fan of castro but then we learned it was not that great so now we used to like chavez but not so much but we really like is sweden. we love scandinavian socialism. it's that kinder, gentler socialism and a big point of the book is proving that sweden and scandinavia is socialist because they're not and they rank pretty high on the freedom index for trade and other things and one of the main policy things that

harvard study within half the people under 29 have a favorable view of socialism, how do we cross the rubicon or do we go in when back with people who have embraced the incremental socialism. >> we are in danger. jefferson said every generation has to renew and water the tree of liberty. that is true socialism and bad ideas. every socialism has to realize the problems and what comes. the big lie that is out there in the superficial that they drive to, and intellectuals of america used to love stalin but then we learned they were bad. we used to like castro, bernie was a big fan of castro but we learned it was not so great. we used to like chavez but not so much we like canon 80 and socialism, it's kinder gentler socialism. a big part of the book is proving that. one that is socialist because are not they are ranked pretty high on the freedom index for trade and other things. one of the main policy things to raise the corporate income tax, we lower them from 35% from the highest in the world to 21% and interestingly scandinavia has been in the low 20s for 30 or 40 years and part of their succe

interface or marginal districts who approached her and said, we believe the president has crossed the rubicon to far and this is the only mechanism by which you can do this. >> a lot of this involving the underlying evidence and how do you deal with it. you and others have pointed out that may have moved her. the evidence is not always moving the people in the other party. they are trying to move the evidence, and for a very clear encapsulation of this, i show you exhibit a, a little bit of then and now lindsey graham. take a look. >> mm-hmm. >> if you could show me that, you know, trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing. >> was there a quid pro quo? >> as i testified previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting, the answer is yes. >> there you go. >> yeah. i think the fact, you know, you take that moving the goal post further and further, and reports that the white house has been meeting with the senate republicans to map out a strategy as to how to move forward on impeachment, you know, not t

>> we have definitely crossed the rubicon in that regard. hong kong police have used firearms in a way almost certainly sapped their credibility. students, many have become much moderate alizeed and beijing is looking at this, almost certainly thinking to itself is if it is like this right now, what will it be like in another 20 years when hong kong fully reverts under prc control? deirdre: we're watching on day-to-day basises especially okay weekends. thank you for the analysis dean. melissa: president trump sitting down with federal reserve chairman jerome powell at the white house today. only the second meeting between the two since powell took over as fed chief. blake burman is at the white house. blake, this was face-to-face instead of twitter. reporter: it was. good way to put it. one of those fly on the wall type moments we get every now and then at the white house, melissa. president trump sitting down with jay powell earlier today. also in the room, treasury secretary steve mnuchin. i'm told larry kudlow was a part of that meeting a

that is a rubicon that the trump administration has not yet crossed.e expect the state department will comply, but they are running out of time. again, midnight tonight is the deadline. if we get them while we're on the air, we will bring them to you. it'll be interesting to see if and how those documents change the conversation going forward, and they raise the really interesting question of how democrats in congress on these committees that are handling the impeachment, how they're going to handle it if new information, new witnesses or new documentation like we're expecting tonight comes out even though they've already wrapped up their public hearings. we've got more on that with a member of the judiciary committee coming up. stay with us. with the freestyle libre 14 day system just scan the sensor with your reader, iphone or android and manage your diabetes. with the freestyle libre 14 day system, a continuous glucose monitor, you can check your glucose levels any time, without fingersticks. ask your doctor to write a prescription for the freestyle

so will they ever be able to kind of cross that rubicon and publicly admit what happened here was anr and not something that should have happened by a president of the united states? i think the only chance you have of getting there is the sort of public airing of the facts by the witnesses themselves as congressman schiff described earlier on the show. >> what is the big question for you going forward? >> you know, we talked about this the other day. i think that the witnesses have all provided a consistent and corroborated account of exactly what happened, what they thought about it, the things they did after they found out about the call, the concerns with gordon sondland's strategy and with giuliani's involvement. all that comes down to the simple fact that everyone involved in this call, everyone who knew about these policy calls was concerned about what was happening here. the question is can the democrats convince the public and the republicans that there is a problem with a president using his office, using his powers of foreign policy for his own political benefit. >> andrew

this is a new rubicon, should it be crossed. i think the speech was very interesting.was interpreted slightly differently by different audiences around the globe. they kind of emphasized that the rba probably has another two great cuts in its arsenal before it would consider qe. some people have said that means qe is not close. other people took that to mean there are two more rate cuts possible, not just the one that everyone was thinking. rbabase case before was the would consider qe's their base rate was close to have percent -- close to 0.5%. i think there was the emphasis that qe in australia will probably be in local bond, local assets rather than a broader range of assets. that should be supportive of bonds, along with the story that there are two more potential rate cuts. i think overall this is positive for australian bonds. anna: we are seeing the australian five-year on the move today, trading higher. the yield down by eight or so basis point. thank you very much, mark cudmore. you can join in the debates on today's question of the day. what should investors

fans who are fans of john rawls, the veil of ignorance test, not knowing which side of the political rubicon you stand on, you are ready to think this person is so dangerous to the persistence of the republic, that you really ought to go. and i think i probably ought to go. i've been talking longer than i meant to, and i want very much to have you all hear from joshua, but i'm most especially want us to have time for q&a. thank you so much. (applause) >> i'm glad that larry spoke so much, it means i'll only speak a little because we want to leave time for q&a. one thing i should highlight is that much like the book itself, i'm not going to say much about president trump, apart from the -- we in writing the book came to at a particular moment in time, where we thought there was a president who was doing terrible things, that he was breaking the law, upsetting norms, that have brought the presidency into accord with the needs of constitutional democracy and destabilizing our position around the world, and it was clear there was going to be sustained impeachment pressure throughout trump's pres

have we crossed the rubicon or do we have to go and win back his argument with people who embrace that incremental socialism is? >> guest: jefferson was one who said every generation has to renew, water the tree of liberty. that's true with socialism and bad ideas. every generation has to realize the problems with socialism, what comes from it. the big lie that is out there and the big sort of superficial sort of attitude they throw at you is they say the intellectuals in america used to like stoller but was onto his bed. that's not the socialism we want. want. we used to like castro birding was a big fan f castro began with our it wasn't so great. we used to like shop as but not so much. what we really like is sweden. we love scandinavian socialism. it's a kinder gentler socialism. a big part of the book is disproving that. one that sweden and scandinavia is socialist because they are not, they write pretty high on the freedom index for trade and a lot of other things, one of the main policy things ernie wants is to raise the corporate income taxes. we loaded up from 35% to 21%. inter

and i think, for me, where the crossing of the rubicon occurs is really this president asking for a favorg statements just because you say them out loud doesn't make them not true and not -- not -- not actionable. i think that -- i -- i really think that, for me, it was just the testimony of taylor today that i thought was really compelling. and i think that when you talk to a soldier, and we just accelerated veterans day and you say if you're going to war and your commander in chief withholds valuable weaponry, valuable and -- and does so by -- because of his own personal agenda and not that of the public good or the troops, what is that? is that actionable? i would say yes. i would say it's treasonous and i definitely would think that that soldier would be court marshalled. and i think that alone is, to me, is something that the american people can understand. >> you had said to me a couple sundays ago that you -- you believed in this more narrow focus of this impeachment proceeding. focused on what you've seen here with ukraine, you had not -- you had been somebody that withheld a call

i know every disaster, you are out there front and center with team rubicon can you tell us about thosefforts as well? >> team rubicon takes former military and it gives them a purpose and helps in transition over to civilian life. what we fund then is the cost to send these former marines, soldiers and sailors into a striken area to bring it back to where it needs to be it helps the area we go into and helps the people that are doing it it is in/win you are go daddy's founder you are out now. you've got how many businesses you are involved with? pk is one of them right? >> i have 16 businesses that my wife and i operate they run the gamut from golf to motor cycle, power sports dealerships, we make furniture, we have a big metal fabrication shop that can make anything but money. >> it does make money. >> it doesn't but it makes some good stuff we have a sound recording and movie recording studio >> biggest lender in arizona >> in scottsdale, arizona. >> you have a place dom and i would be interested in >> scottsdale national golf course in the outskirts of scottsdale surrounded by three

it as a signal that bad things aren't going to happen for a while, or we have finally crossed the rubicond rivers. [laughter] michael: we've finally crossed the channel, and now we get a dip in the economy in the short run, but things can move up because uncertainty is lifted. alix: sarah, is erupt a value trap or value -- is erupt a value trap or value -- is europe a value trap or value? sarah: there are some opportunities, but you are stuck in a low growth arena. these are hard things to fix. it is not an easy thing. if you do not want to do anything on the fiscal policy side, which they keep making clear they don't in the short-term, it is very hard to see how you get out of a morass. adding negative rates to more negative rates doesn't seem to be doing anybody any goods, and it is certainly difficult for the financial system, and it is going to put a huge amount of pressure on pensions and ever thing else. there's a lot going on under the surface that is still problematic. art: i think sarah is right, and i think your question is right. it is such a good-looking value trap. the multip
