thank you. senator peters? >> thank you, madam chair. just want to drill down a little bit into the president's proposal and just get a sense of where the panel is on some of these issues. he's talked about $1.5 trillion of additional money for infrastructure. however, only $200 billion of that $1.5 trillion is direct federal money. the rest is coming from some sort of leverage he talks about public/private partnerships which means a private entity needs a revenue stream and that means toll roads or perhaps just state and local, bringing up the rest, basically a mandate for our state agencies and local governments to come up with the rest. i have heard we are stretched, you mentioned already in michigan, for example, they are near their taxing authority. toll roads will likely be a big part of this. do you have toll roads in nebraska? >> no, sir. not at the moment. >> how would toll road -- you believe toll roads is a good idea for your state? >> i would say it's nothing that we have put into use in nebraska in the past. i think my sense

they play out over decades. >> thank you very much. senator peters? >> thank you, madam chair. mr.gilmartin, i'd like for you to talk about where we are in michigan and as i mentioned, in the opening comments where we are is not that you will different from every other state in the country and certainly in the midwest and particularly those of us who have a lot of change in seas and wear and tear -- in seasons and wear and tear on roads, that adds to the cost. paint a picture in terms of where we are in michigan. you mentioned some tax increases that have occurred throughout the day but what are you hearing from our local cities and townships in terms of the extent of the problem we face in our state upon? >> our transportation infrastructure is as bad as it ever has. we start kicking up those potholes. we're all kind of used to that but this year is a special kind of ugly on michigan roads. it has done gone from difficult to sometimes frightening, to drive downloads, the quote from wwj is real real. i've experienced that myself. guys pull over all the time. i've had to pull off to

something to watch ok thanks peter was artie's peter a. i mean donald trump has also cool money off guard by agreeing to meet face to face with the north korean leader kim jong un and he recently did say we're engaged in a twist this battle over who had the biggest nuking a button market reports be heard the announcement and now we have confirmation from the white house that yes a meeting will take place between kim jong un and us president donald trump now this would be the first meeting between the head of state of the united states and the government of north korea their head of state this is quite a surprise to many people we've heard secretary of state rex tillerson who recently said that the usa was a long way away from any negotiations with north korea i don't know yet until we are able to be ourselves place to face with. representatives of the world. whether the conditions are right you can be if you about negotiations determine that direct talks with the united states and u.s. negotiate sions or were always from the go to asians a

peter matthews. he's a proffer of political science at cypress cowling. thanksor being with us, peter. >> good to be here, thank you natalie. >> president trump's lawyer calls for an end to the russia probe stlag was no collusion in the tweet saturday it reads the mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and no crime. he adds it was batsed on fraudulent activity, paid for my crooked hillary and dnc and used in court for slaps of my campaign. they have said over and over interfering or trying to stop the mueller investigation would be political suicide yet it sure seems like that effort or idea is still on the table for the trump administration. your thoughts. >> it certainly is. look at firing mccabe, the fbi director several months now because that man say central figure in the mueller investigation. he could corosh raroborate what said. trump won the election with less than the majority of the votes, less votes than hig hillary, he feels that he's not quite legitimate as president, that's the problem, because he seems to atta

leaders ok thanks peter for the. peter oliver there. well earlier on thursday the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander slammed boris johnson's comparison of the upcoming world cup in russia to the lympics under hitler calling it an acceptable and an insult to the russian pay paul. because the roads like to go. to the way we really want to go to sleep. here so i think the comparison with martin through these exist is certainly right moscow considers this kind of statements made under the level of the foreign secretary in india we unacceptable and totally irresponsible. the british government just free to make a decision about its dissipation in the world cup but nobody has the right to insult the russian people who defeated nazis and lost more than twenty five million people by comparing our country to nazi germany. did he goes beyond the common sense and we do not think british war veterans including those of the arctic cold voice would share this opinion. well the spat between the two countries as follows he said the poisoning of a

can we say normally to have bigger fish to fry i don't know but it's a nice touch nonetheless thanks peter i was artie's a patron of. we're watching our see things your company today tensions are high again in catalonia at the moment where thousands of protesters have rallied one small to break away from spain we'll have a look at that just after the break. told me it's so also not accepted. whether. russia in all the u.s. is deciding maybe of what german companies or european companies are investing in or which infrastructure we are building interim in the or and injure up i think it's a tremendous it's a european decision. welcome back now it is just under a week until the presidential election in russia and you start seeing its special coverage. because you see. yes i was seeing it up jack up because i still mean that it's. really making everybody doesn't seem like. much but what it was it was a little rusty any what you did after you did it but. darn sure. which . we got on the chin that. you should just look at your. stupid look at. the problem got to look at him he was. doing this yo

does mike pompei o fit the bill of a secretary of state do you think he does one go ahead michael thanks peter i think yeah i think trump is a dynamic person there's a lot of energy in what he does whether you like the energy or not it's up to you but there's it's not a. a circumspect approach to problems like maybe obama had or even bush it's much more energetic it's much more lively and promptly oh certainly fits that character better than rex tillerson just from a from a sociological point of view if you'll permit morgan you know i've looked at. history former military many actually graduated first in his class at west point. obviously he was in congress but he says he's not a very diplomatic guy who gammy his statements in public life are very very strident is that is that the kind of person the united states needs it at foggy bottom go ahead morgan well in terms of the united states needs or not that's open for debate i agree with your former speaker that it's what president trump once i think president trump is very much of the mind set of being a proactive problem solver and i think you

senator peters: thank you. the chairman: thank you, senator peters. next is senator duckworth. senator duckworth: i want to thank you for today's hearing. we heard a lot about prioritizing infrastructure investment in the last couple years. for many americans, republicans and democrats alike, that's music to our ears and essentially to mine. but given the high priority the president has placed on rebuilding america, you think we would be further along in this process and in this conversation that we're having today. other than releasing a 50-page proposal with a few documents, the president has -- and allies in congress have failed to set the stage for any meaningful investment in our aging infrastructure. leading many folks in my state to wonder if this is a serious infrastructure campaign by the white house. let me just break this down. the president's f.y. 2018 budget included $200 billion for his infrastructure proposal but it slashed $345 billion in programs -- from infrastructure programs. they set aside $1.5 trillion to spend on their tax proposal but then put aside -- di

. >> thanks, peter. just to drill down a little bit more on that opening question, companies like at&t have proposed sort of net neutrality for tech companies, you know? i'm kind of curious how you're, you know, what your position is on that. >> guest: well, one of the things that i realize is at the opening question when we talked about how things have converged, and so the lines are a bit more blurred as it relates to who does where, who does what and who owns what. so i always think that we should always take fresh approaches when it comes to, you know, our regulatory oversight, our legislative oversight. we've got to be forward thinking as it relates to that. now, if you're trying to get me to weigh in a particular area as to what that should be, you will not get that out of me today. but i think the conversation is ripe because, again, it really is about enhancing the consumer experience, enabling innovation and opportunities. and the way we did that back in 1960, 1980 and 2018 is different, and we

peter: doctor? >> thank you so much. it's been an interesting panel. wonder if you would comment a little bit more about a saudi that's not a muslim and if you would comment a little bit about how that's played out with the whole saudi influence with all the money, all of coming in. we've seen a push-back in europe that maybe that's not a good thing. i was really curious about your comment -- is it 45% of muslims in america living below poverty? that's something we never hear. and just also, you know, if you travel in arab countries, a lot of times, a lot of prejudice against north africans and probably against black americans, as well. so there's a bunch of things to comment on. thank you. dr. fraser-rahim: one of the communities,t the particularly imam muhammad, they have soup kitchens. they are not just for muslim americans, they're for all americans. you can come in and get a warm meal right down the street in washington, in my home town, in alabama, in california. i can go anywhere and they open their homes, they open their centers to help everyon
