the last time we had a circuit split is when the fifth circuit, which included southern states, texas, florida, georgia, split into the 11th circuit -- >> what year? >> back in the '80s. >> you alluded to people have accused the ninth u.s. circuit court as being activist judges. so we have neil gorsuch in place on the u.s. supreme court. and some of these challenges may end up in the supreme court at some point. with the court's current makeup, how do you expect that to play out in the system of checks and balances? >> so when justice scalia died, the court was poised maybe five on one side, four on the other, sometimes justice kennedy might be a split vote. i don't think that has changed. neil gorsuch takes on justice scalia's seat as a conservative. what i think you will see is perhaps in these rulings, a more extreme position on -- we don't really know as much about justice gorsuch as we do about justice scalia. we'll hear more over time. one thing we know is he is perhaps more deferential to presidential power than his predecessor. i think in cases like this that will be really important.

william bartram was most famous for his travels in the southern part of america, georgia, florida, etc., where he discovered new species of plants and would record all of these in beautiful watercolor drawings. and charles willson peale, the artist who painted this portrait, had a real affinity for bartram. i think they spent a lot of time talking about plant specimens and teaching the rest of america about the bounty and wonders of america's natural world. his painting when william bartram was rather old is a nice character study and he is sort of calmly sitting there. but he has this wonderful bald spot on the top of his head, charles willson peale has really looked at the subject to depict him in detail with a lot of care. william bartram was charles willson peale's friend, but i think he was also his colleague as a fellow naturalist. and the portrait reflects that professional association. next to william bartram is william clark. and i always have enjoyed this picture, because william clark was a vivid redhead. and charles willson peale did a good job with his red hair. william cl

vegas, florida, new mexico, arizona, southern california got hit bad.esurgence now. i think overall attitude of the direction we're going is giving people confidence as what is going to be in the future and they can own again because a lot of people obviously went through tough times, gerri. they couldn't own again. i think we're in a good spot. gerri: that brings me to the next question, we have a long period of time, housing is bad, don't own your own house. which i completely disagree with. how are americans feeling about this issue right now? >> there was a period of time where people weren't able to own again. so they had to rent. now there is a different feeling. now they want to own the american dream. they want to be able to do it. they want it fit within their budget. so yes, i think the american dream is alive and well. is there anxiety? there is a lot of scars, gerri, what happened years ago. people were treated badly by many havers of loans and lenders and they're a little gun shy -- listen what you are selling and buying are memories. think

florida. what he dubbed the southern white house.h an estimated total price tag, a whopping $21.6 million. that puts the president on pace in his first year to surpass former president obama's spending on travel for his entire eight years. >> presidents always travel. >> reporter: pushing the white house on the defense. >> the president, wherever he goes, he carries the apparatus of the white house with us. that's something that happens. >> reporter: then there's the white house north. while trump has not traveled to new york city, it's melania and their son's primary residence, costing them between 127 and $146,000 a day to protect them according to new york city officials. trump's adult children have pushed the logistical and financial needs even more. from van vufcouver to dubai, th are on the go. vacationing, working for the trump organization and bringing with them their own secret service contingents. such a large family combined with the typical key white house staff amounts to a doubling of those protected under the trump adm

florida. we're having a meeting -- big meeting -- at mar-a-lago. we call it the southern white house, which it actually is. it was originally built as the southern white house, a lot of people don't know. but it's sort of strange how it got there. but it's going to be something i think very important, very special. i look very much forward to meeting him and the delegation, and we'll see what happens. but i am very, very proud of what you've been able to do in a short period of time -- just this little, short period of time, the optimism is so high. and i see the billions of dollars that are being invested by your people and your representatives in plant and equipment and jobs. and i appreciate that, jay, very much. congratulations. you may want to say a few words. mr. timmons: well, i do. and i want to reemphasize for the media here that this quarterly survey of our 14,000 members has been going on for 20 years. and to the point you made, this was the highest level of optimism that our manufacturers have expressed in 20 years. president trump: that's fantastic. mr. timmo

florida seems to be the seat of the problem with 100,000 acres affected, but widely across the southern expect that this time of the year. the severe drought of a third of florida is not helping. some violent thunderstorms further north and some very violent thunderstorms moving their way towards the lakes. these could turn into tornadoes. we will keep a close eye on that. let's move on to the bay of bengal where to the court of the weekend we had a site can develop. the remnants of that are producing a lot of rain. there will be a lot of heat across the northwest quarter of india and into pakistan. temperatures here well in excess of a0 degrees and the indian authorities have a number of highest level warnings for that heatwave across rajasthan and many of the neighbouring states. in the bangladesh, the problem here is a violent thunderstorm. there is some spring warmth to be had in southern parts of europe with temperatures well above par. go further north and these are the daytime maximums for tuesday, locked in single figures thanks to a big area of high pressure feeding cold air in

number 15, declaring that area for 30 miles back from the ocean and then from southern south carolina down to northern florida as land that's to be given to african-americans, and white men are not supposed to live on that land. i mean that was an interesting approach, but it was not maintained, as you said. it was given back to the original owner. >> joan? >> the three r's, restore, rebuild, reunite. we haven't mentioned the economy at all. how was the south supposed to get back on its feet if it's major cash crop, cotton, could not be picked. all of these come into play in the way lincoln and his successors were thinking as well as protecting african-americans in their person and in their voting rights. >> michelle. >> i have an open-ended question, however you want to answer this. but can you comment on either the role, influence or voice of the veterans of the civil war in terms of reconstruction, either on behalf of african-americans, against african-americans? those are the folks that actually fought the war, and sometimes you see soldiers' accounts when they're in the south and they're realizing firsth

you operate in other southern states like in florida.ns and what does that look like these days? >> right. we have about 13% of our portfolio is energy loans. obviously, we have seen a lot of stress with that portfolio. but i'm happy to report that of the roughly 100 borrowers we have, really one sort of major disappointment. but the rest of the group is holding together well. a lot of stress in the ep portfolio, but midstream is great. >> taking its toll on the texas economy. how much has that come back and where does it stand right now? >> you know, i often see people had that concern and just what we're seeing on a day to day in houston is it's not been as bad as people think. we actually added jobs in each of the last two years. and so there's some soft spots clearly. multifamily and office and the energy corridor. but overall the city is doing just fine. >> you mentioned m&a. you picked up a number of banks during a stressed period. >> we did. >> no longer the case. are there still any number of smaller banks that you can start to u

florida. he calls it the southern white house and tonight it certainly is a white house that's quite busy. >> i want to go back to our military panel. how does that play out. >> normally something like that is done obviously you're doing this in a hurry so it's usually done over the phone and you pick those countries that are most invested in this that have a stake. i would suspect some of our gulf allies were consulted and key partners in europe. i'm not surprised there wasn't deliberate outreach to the russian government at least in moscow to give them any kind of a heads up about this because you don't know what they were going to do with that kind of information, but you do want to try to clear the decks as best you can before you do something this major that is going to have ramifications starting very very soon. i'm surprised we haven't seen a reaction from moscow yet. that's the thing i'm looking for the most right now. i think they will be early out of the gates. >> any moment we expect a tape from the president who spoke to the reporters. that has not been broadcast. 50 to 60 tomahaw
