secondarily, you talk about fiscal policy and they done a good job three things you need to do a betterob on one thing. one, set a pro-business agenda and president is a pro-business person so he's changed the market psychology and bully pulpit. number two, delayering the imagery of state and taking down regulations that are unnecessary. very positive. third thing, to the tax policy there trying to figure out a way which has not happened one 100% but to repatriate capital and bring it back into the united states and have the development take place. one of the things going the do down, third and fourth think they need to improve on is that medication around trade and the eventual resolution of the trading situation with largest partners which include europe and china. once we do that you will come down corporate america and come down industrials and these cios, chief investment officers will allocate capital back into the united states on three, five, ten your plans. as much uncertainty about trade and this was uncertainty about the rhythm of the economy as a result of the trade give a t

u.s., and brbritain secondarily, supply the arms. the u.s. s supplies the intelligence for the saudi air force, which is carrying out massive atrocities. all of these things are happening. for years, they've barely been discussed. now, finally, you're seeing pictures on the front page of starving yemeni children, even a call for a ceasase-fire - much belated. little attention to our cruciail reresponsibility for it.t. just like our responsibility, which is overwhelming, for the plight of the m miserablele people trying to escape from the troika -- honduras, el salvador, guatemala -- the three countries that have been completely under our thumbb and are suffering bitterly for it, now trying to escape. so we turn them into an invasion mob planning to destroy us. all of this is surreal. it only is overshadowed by the f failure to attend even m minimally to the literal existential threats, that are not remote. amy: do o you considider this one of thehe gravest times, in your lifetime, in u.s. politics, noam? noam: it's one of the gravest

they attached in two instances and one is through primary offerings and secondarily when board members such as yourselves make comments on the sfmta's financial health. those are likely to reach the marketplace and may be tested against the provisions. what we attempt to do is when we're accessing the marketplace or alternatively, when there are turbulent times, we we encourage board members to exercise caution in making statements about the financial health of the sfmta or when we're coming to market to discourage investment to say there's no risk, you should buy it. those statements will be tested against the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws. and generally we're talking about material statements and the anti-fraud provisions make it unlawful to make a statement of a material fact or omission. in our context unlike corporate security where's there's strict liability they have to prove we made a neglect statement. so we bro vide the training and -- provide the training and have controls and procedures so if something did slip through in our process, we can at least defend o

secondarily, you talk about fiscal policy and they done a good job three things you need to do a betterob on one thing. one, set a pro-business agenda and president is a pro-business person so he's changed the market psychology and bully pulpit. number two, delayering the imagery of state and taking down regulations that are unnecessary. very positive. third thing, to the tax policy there trying to figure out a way which has not happened one 100% but to repatriate capital and bring it back into the united states and have the development take place. one of the things going the do down, third and fourth think they need to improve on is that medication around trade and the eventual resolution of the trading situation with largest partners which include europe and china. once we do that you will come down corporate america and come down industrials and these cios, chief investment officers will allocate capital back into the united states on three, five, ten your plans. as much uncertainty about trade and this was uncertainty about the rhythm of the economy as a result of the trade give a t

but secondarily what you're talking about is fiscal policy so they've done a very good job on three things they need to do ay better job on one thing. what are three thingses number one they set a probusiness agenda and it is a probusiness person so he change whatted market psychology and bully pulpit that way. number two they're delayering administrative state taking down regulations that are actually unnecessary on the economy. very, very positive and third thing through the tax a policy, they're trying to figure out a way which really hasn't happened 100% yet but to repatriate iccapital bring it back into the united states, and have is that development takee place, and one of the thing that's slowing that down the third, fourth thing to improve on is the communication around trade and the evan chul resolutiont of the trading situation with our largest partners which include europe and china. once we do that, you're going to tcalm down corporate america you're going to calm down industrials and cio chief investment offices to allocating capital back into the united states on three, five,

economics is done in venezuela in places like the bell and so the money would simply be confiscated secondarily i would look to the swiss national bank and see what they've done recently and that would be applied to such a banks all over the world they actually buy stocks so warren buffett who's a billionaire who's very friendly with wall street encouraged merica to bail him out and all of his banking buddies in two thousand and eight if in fact his net worth is threatened he couldn't encourage the central banks to buy berkshire hathaway stock in the open market all the component parts of berkshire hathaway stock so that warren would never have to have a down day i believe you're right about that but the swiss national bank is a tiny central bank i think they inspired the bank of japan to also try that that the bank of japan is but by and buying up. but when the u.s. federal reserve and the e.c.b. start doing at. you're going to have hyper inflation and the stock market something like we haven't seen for you know hundred years i think twenty nineteen will see that it's corporate debt to twenty

immediately to forestall the possibility of a deportation from thailand back to saudi arabia but secondarily to find a permanent solution because thailand certainly wouldn't have been the place for her to obtain the protection so it's news that she's going to be coming to canada right and say doing by granting. asylum for her how far is canada flouting its own immigration an asylum process is i mean are they making a special case of her. i know they're not i mean it's not that she's being given status that she's not eligible for there's no question that the kind of situation she has fled in saudi arabia and what she fears if she went back absolutely qualifies her for refugee status and there are many different options open to the canadian government to respond to the situation of a refugee and some do include taking very urgent action when someone is in a dire situation and i think this is absolutely a perfect example of that someone who was potentially an imminent risk of either being deported to back to saudi arabia or there were concerns about what might be happening given that her family

the playground, which includes childcare facilities, and childcare has an open space plan, and secondarily i want to enter into the record a draft staff motion for the planning commission to approve on the park shadow? it is a staff recommendation. it is not a planning commission action. and despite the corrections that were made verbally, that is not on the staff recommendation. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> please continue and have a hearing publicly. don't weight until the e.i.r. is done to give input and to have an idea of what is going on. thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. is there anyone else who would like to make general public comment? seeing none, this item is closed we are now on item nine, closed session. is there anyone who would like to make public comment on closed session? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners, we need a motion and a second on whether to go into closed session. >> move to go into closed session. >> moved and seconded. >> all those in favor? >> aye. >> okay. i need to ask everyone[laughter] >> we have reconvened into open session

driven by two parts of the business that we have been talking about for all year, which is china and secondarilype. and the case of china, we have seen issues primarily that or forward specific. ford specific. but we understand what the issues are and what we need to do and we are addressing them quickly. in the case of europe, we announced early in january the start of a process to lead to the redesign and restructuring long-term. reporter: last quarter, we talked about china and the fact that you brought in new leadership because you had problems with the operations. how is that leadership doing, and when are we going to start to see the results in china for ford? >> we are already seeing green shoots from the efforts focused on dealer engagement, inventory levels, we will be moving very aggressively on the product front. we already launched a new focus, a new escort, a new small suv that we are starting to ship as we speak. that will help coming later in the year. is veryortantly, he focused on improving the cost structure and making the products more china tailored, if you will. certainly wo

it's around article two of the constitution and secondarily under title 50 of the u.s. code and that's a question of constitutional law. you know, i'm a big believer in opening the government and having this go through regular order and have it fully debated. it is going to have to be a bipartisan solution. the democrats control the house. republicans control the sflat. it is an incredibly important issue. i believe we need robust security. we can get those votes. it has got to be a bipartisan solution. we also have to watch the language we use. >> if the president were to declare a national emergency the billionsover dollars he wants to use to build a wall would have to be diverted from funding that is going to the department of defense, the u.s. military. would you be okay with that? >> well, i think it's a new point because it will be tied up in litigation. without a doubt if he were to make that deck laration that wod be constitutional law on title 50. so i don't even think it would be allow today move forward. i think that it's time for the adults to step up and bi

then secondarily, one small piece is the last part. these out of county individuals and working in collaboration with the tent of homelessness. the other recommendations were more intensive care staffing, filling the staffing. those will be the two things if we can, file this report in this body. i'm asking that you follow-up with us. we'll is a follow-up hearing on this. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: if we can just transition to ms. lisa pratt. >> i apologize that i have to keep our committee on time. we have another very lengthy hearing after this one. i have one slide. supervisors. i'm dr. lisa pratt i'm director of jailhouse. i appreciate the opportunity to dig deeper into thee complicated issues. the jail population represents nexus of homeless and mentally ill and other people as well. we're not here to talk about the other people. because it's so complicated, jail is a very regressive institution. our jail is a progressive city. what we do is different from what other cities and counties to. that's why it's important for dp

earl lly thfine themselves in a position where they have to sell to a separate private buyer or secondarilyo an unconventional financing source though private equity isn't that unconventional to raise capital. >> yeah. i think that's, that will be a real possibility, particularly in bio tech medical device space where companies will run out of money. i think you'll see private financing is done perhaps at valuations you know akin to their last round where they would have been looking for a step up in the ipo. but they're forced to kind of go at a valuation that's lower just to get some money in the bank. >> all right, alan, thank you. appreciate it. >> pleasure, b thank you >>> coming up, day three of our investing for a lifetime today, we get advice for people in their 50s when big decisions need to be made. what do you need to arstt moving out of stocks into bonds the answer's next on "power the answer's next on "power lunch. ooh. so, why don't traders have coaches? who says they don't? coach mcadoo! you know, at td ameritrade, we ocess to coaches and a full education curriculum- just to

and secondarily we know there was a lot of contacts, whether it was his son talking to him after a meeting. the president knew a lot of stuff that was going onasa candidate and we have confirmation of the that by he runs everything. he is his own chief of staff. he's a gut player. the idea that he was totally insulated from that is pretty hard to believe. >> rudy giuliani will appreciate there's a term called checkoffs gun. you see the gun in the first act, it has to go off in the second or third. when rude jewel says what he says last nig rudy giuliani says what he says in the first act, the second act we're going to find out who did collude. let's play a little bit more of these new parameters set out by the president's own lawyer. >> he's viable at the head of the campaign giving polling data that winds up having the same faces and places targeted by the campaign that are targeted by russian trolls. how is that not collusion? >> it's not collusion. >> how is it not? >> because polling data is given to everybody. i mean he shouldn't have given it to them, it's wrong to give it to zblem

secondary seco secondarily the president went to iraq during the initial shut down. it looks incredibly political on behalf of the president here, and you know look, frankly as kelly laid out, these trips are shrouded in secrecy. you certainly would not talk about it if you're going to a place like afghanistan. i don't know if this would have continued anyway. but this, just by putting this out there it is an enormous breach in an of itself. and i'm sure there will be plenty of republican defenders that see this as a wondery response to nancy pelosi saying the defense department is fully funned, but the state department is not. it makes me think that any actual solution is still a lot further off than anyone would like it to be. >> denying nancy pe he will si military travel. it makes reference to a trip to brussels. this is about nato and troops, where do we stand on this right now? do we know what immediately is happening? the impression they was left with it that there are phone calls and things happening, a weird form of diplomacy to have a letter on white house

the adjustment to the energy and energy-related sectors for the collapse in oil prices last year secondarily, they made a quick adjustment for those companies exposed to china when we were in the heart of the trade war that was the natural place to cut. only more recently have cuts come stied to europe, which is a bigger impact on top line and bottom line for the s&p 500. every day you see a ratchetting down still of estimates, and i think there is a risk, even if an economic recession is still less of a possibility in 2019, i think at least in the first half of the year there's some chance we could get an earnings recession. >> all right so earnings expectations might be ratcheted down. consumer confidence isn't looking to great either. you tweeted about that today, the fact we're at 42, below a key rescission nary level, 43, the third straight drop. what do you make of the state we're operating at least in the first half i know many investors out there are longer-term investors, but in terms of girding for volatility, it seems like there are a lot of potential land mines in the first half

secondarily recognizing all the products using our computer vision software.dds it to your cart. ultimately you exit the store. you choose to exit the store. make a purchase through the mobile device. away you go, its cashierless transaction. reporter: this is digital. should i walk in, it knows i buy chips ahoy cereal all time, it will send me a discount to continue to buy chips ahoy cereal? >> led technology, similar shopping patterns, similar if you were shopping in an online application. reporter: this is application. this is frictionless, you're calling it frictionless. it hasn't been launched in stores, correct? >> correct. we've gone through number about tests. we'll go on line with stores in april this year. reporter: could i steal something? >> that is great question. ultimately we identified you through your app and face in the store. might not be the best idea. reporter: i'm thinking if i walk in with a mask, having somebody's else's phone that could be a way? melissa: wow, learning a lot about kristina here. yeah. reporter: throw it back to you guy

>> guest: my concern is only secondarily with donald trump. it is with the larger system. years before donald trump was even thought of as a candidate for president, might interesting repressive populism really intensified in the early part of the two thousands. the ideological extremism of the republican party, which was so plutocratic, so indifferent to what america was going through. was happening to middle-class incomes and middle-class savings. the first origins of the drug crisis, which you can see shaping up a decade ago was opening space for something dangerous and you can see this dangerous thing to conform. hungary and poland and they became morbidly assessed do such a thing was possible and that it was coming. i was quite surprised, but when he showed up i realize this is what we've been waiting for. >> host: i'm glad you raised that. these two in the book one is about the stuff that trump is doing. you also write about the preexisting vulnerabilities that trump identified. the american democracy today, how much are you worried about the men in the family and ho

and then, secondarily, did what -- did anybody who helped them commit a crime in that process, so that'sn you have potential criminal violations, but not everything that, you know, people do to help a foreign intelligence service is a crime. it's still a national security threat. and to what jim said, look, i tend to agree that probably trump was not a witting russian spy, because he'd make a horrible spy, for anybody. >> and we just don't have any proof of that. and we have no proof of that suggestion. >> but that doesn't mean that he can't -- yes. but that doesn't mean that he can't take actions that facilitate and allow russia's operations to continue. for whatever his motives might be. and that would still be a national security threat to the united states. particularly as the president, who has almost unfettered authority over foreign policy and foreign relations. for him to take actions that would potentially stymie an investigation into the biggest russian attack, counterintelligence attack on the united states would be of concern to the fbi. >> right. you know, jimmy, see, that's

his background was at amazon secondarily, the company also saying that it is providing some guidanceor its fourth quarter and full year 2018 financial results saying we expect to report revenue and adjusted earnings results that are slightly favorable to the top end of our previously recorded guidance ranges for each so the company is reporting earnings on february 5th and this news comes ahead of that. >> slightly favorable. okay, julia. >> and they provided guidance, so this is indicating at the higher ending of that range. >> julia, thank you. julia boorstin in los angeles. >>> first of all, it's never a good thing to hear that a cfo of all c-suite positions is resi resigning such a short time after he joined the company. what do you make of this >> i think in the case of snap, they have had a retention issue. i think they have had a lot of turnover in the c suite and this is the issue people don't really know in a world where there's a lot of competition whether these guys have the ability to grow and they're still burning cash to me this is a stock that continues to be a no touc

but secondarily, where's the russian collusion? where is the wikileaks collaboration? where's the evidence that i received anything from wikileaks and passed it on to donald trump or the trump campaign? it simply does not exist. >> i agree with you on those basis. i want to keep my word and i told you and council that i wouldn't dig into the merits on this but the argument would be the coordination is you're trying to find out what's happening and you're telling the campaign so that they could go ordinate their message to s syncronize what they were saying. that might not be a crime, maybe, maybe not, but it is collusion. >> i wasn't doing that. i will prove that at trial. >> you said a couple of things already that are important to people. you didn't talk to the president about it and you don't believe he knew anything about it. he has known you the longest he has the deepest relationship with you, second only to paul manafort in terms of the population of this campaign that you introduced him to and you suggested him once again to help with the campaign. why would pe

and, whether or not secondarily he would trigger his own executive fiat powers to make it happen withouttcome of the democrats are refusing to accept the wall but it will save lives. those two children that died after crossing the border, there wasn't a wall there. a wall will save lives. people keep coming and those desolate areas. the small, they will find out there's a cross. first of all. stand by your guns. we need this wall. this will secure america. we know, we are the experts. we've got places where barrier has been built, we know the difference it makes. go back, stand by your guns, and fight this fight. even though they are being paid, the american pages in the uniform -- they will be sanded by the president. thumbs up, 100%. keep fighting the good fight. i think the president will come back with a new sense of support from the men and women standing in the front lines, putting their lives on the line every day for this country. i think he is going to keep pushing away, i hope he doesn't i think he will. i have talked to him. i'll think is going to give up on this issue. >> har

it's only secondarily they might go after the sources. here we have protections at -- protections for journalists. they go after the sources not the reporters. that's why ignorance of source protection is no longer a justifiable kind of excuse on the part of the reporter. because the obama administration used the espionage act more times than any other administration before it to go after whistleblowers. that is the avenue that so-called liberal western governments will now use to shut down journalistic investigation. to block the exit of information from the government or the lockers of secrets they hold. the threat is different depending on where you are in the world. jack: that's the end round around the first amendment of the united states. we can't stop them from publishing, but we can sure stop them from publishing a news where the piece of information is public. -- iake people frightened do think for a long time it was the case if you were as a reporter your sense was obligation, you don't give up the source because you giving up t

secondarily, we're currently conducting undercover investigations targeting cancer medicines that whileappear to be manufactured in one country in southeast asia, the internet doesn't exist in that country. they are operating totally clandestinely in another southeast asian nation. manufacturing medicines without any inspection authority, shipping them clandestinely through the mails. using paypal accounts in a third southeast asian nation. and yet we're supposed to believe that those medicines will be safe and efficacious. i think something keith shared that i want to repeat, and you'll hear it from all of us here -- the passion that we bring to our law enforcement career is immeasurable. you don't run around the deserts of mexico with a machine gun chasing columbians if you are not passionate. you don't what you see these two crazies doing on "narcos" if you are not passionate. and counterfeit medicines it's personal. my mom was a breast cancer survivor. got good treatment. we expect the women exposed to breast cancer and diagnosed early onto survive she did. when she was diagnosed wi

but under the obama administration those who had that kind of training or often put secondarily to howto applicants who have other social needs that's not safety that was outrage. i think that could be turned around but one of the things too is pay, it is supervision not been very good for these controllers also at the top, there are a traffic control system that's a program they're putting in has been a failure since the beginning has been in the public sector a lot of people, wearing orange jump suits. >> like you're saying there's some level of affirmative action taking place now. i don't have the other side in that story. we're going to keep going. sir, but i hear your complaint there. let me right now play some sound from paul, he is the national air traffic controllist association president. >> we're at a 30-year low of our certified controllers in a system. 10,500 of which 19,000 almost 20% of them, 19 -- 20% can retire. so we need to keep that pipeline coming through the academy. now some of them were very close to ending their class now they have to start all over again. >> mr

secondarily he said this week, well, the campaign could have claimed it.is not a crime. you see the contours of a defense where they admit that they were working with russia, admit they had a relationship with russia but seek to say, well, but -- it was a crime because it was happening during the campaign. >> important point. raise this to natasha. the buzzfeed story, the week started with reporting about a counterintelligence investigation into the president of the united states to say nothing of rudy guiliani's primetime conversation this week whereas was pointed out, i never said no collusion between the campaign and russia, just no collusion between the president and russia. we can pull up multiple xavexams of just the opposite. talk about the shifting of the goal posts when it comes to the defense of the president of the united states? >> absolutely. i think it's gotten to point where so much has emerged about the extent of the conversations between the campaign and russia that it's just become completely impossible to say that there was no collusion

secondarily, if you have the discord domestically in the early part of this year, and so it is goingaffect the smooth handover of the emperor and this kind of the discussion makes the circumstances very worse i would say say. >> so, i would like to steer towards a more optimistic and positive discussion here as i close my q&a portion and i want to touch on the imperial transition, because this is, i think, the first time in our history of the japan this year that we have had an all japanese panel. albeit two of them living totally in the united states, and actually, everybody living in the united states, but to ask this question about what do you think how important is the imperialp transition and the economic impact or perhaps some short term cultural impact, but i don't know, i this about i was in japan as well when the emperor pass eed away and i happened to be livinging there at the time, and so i feel a connection to the era there as being the formative years of my focus of japan, and it has been emperor akihito has been a positive model i think for that institution, and we are

in the world, one is the move to a digital economy happening across the world and seconders and secondarily at the growth that's happening, the creation of a large middle-class, particularly in asia, that will drive growth. if we can tap into those trends we can generate returns even with volatility. >> you better have a long-term outlook. you're affording that benefit. >> having long-term capital. emerging markets for sure. it's a volatile place to live but if you can take a five to eight-year view. some of those longer term friends like the growth in middle-class come through. >> where are you right now are you in the -- you're always in the planning phase? >> you asked a great question about harvesting versus investing. as we look at 2018, we have $5 billion of capital from our portfolio but we invested $4 billion and half of that was outside the u.s. with a big chunk in china. >> what did you liquidate to get that >> more of our u.s. investments, we felt the u.s. was more fully valued. >> you were doing that at the beginning of the year? >> throughout the year we stay consistent through

then secondarily, we have this tribune breach. the tribune breach is a bigger issue. ago, there was a breach of a power system that really wasn't covered that much but the new jersey cybersecurity counterterrorism and information cell which is a very long name, has reported on two things. one, on the east coast there was a secondary attack that was using microsoft word docs designed to bypass all of your antivirus software. this trib attack and those attacks went after critical infrastructure. the purpose of these attacks -- ashley: to power? >> this is we are talking about the backbone of the publishing industry. these attacks weren't necessarily focused on disabling the trib. they were focused on the backbone. i think the risk factors we have to look at are three-fold. one, the security protocols of all these companies need to be reviewed. two, if they are going after the cloud infrastructure, just the backbone, they are actually looking at longer term shutting things down. why? because there was a piece of rans ransomware purported to be part and parcel of this. it
