therere is a place for them, but they need to be regulated like every other animal. i just feel they haven't been. it has gotten way out o of control. our wolf season started 10 years ago. >> it was my interpretation that the states were not thrilled about t having wololves back inn idaho, wyoyoming, and montana. it's kikind of like whyhy did yu pick our s state? why do we have to live with them? our state, to be in while put t them in central park in new york? it is unfair. people tell me that we don't really care for wolves. >> the delisting of wolves from the endangered species list is agreed-upon based on the estherville science at the time. and that called for a minimum of 300 wolves in the rocky mountains states for thrhree consecutive years or 10 breeding years for each state. and we reach that in 2002. minimumolves is a number of walllls to have a viable wolf populalation. something higher was -- off to have a viable wolf population. something higher was reasonable. many peoeople felt that 2000 wolves in the northern rockies would eventually lead to dispersal

now, therere's an interesting storory there. the language woud have been n stronger than just discerernible, but the delelegas of cerertain participating natis like saudi arabia demanded that the language be watered down and discernible ended up being sort of a lowest common denominator. it was the one thing that everybody could agree on, the governments and the scientists. but we were able to say that we'veve seen the fingerprint now of human influence in a formal way. we could actually detect that human fingegerprint in the e patternsf climate change that we had measured. >> given the seriousness of the issue, can you explain why there has been so little action by pololicymakers? >> well, unfortunately, m my of our politicians are beholden to fossil fuel interests. i mean, let's make no mistake here. we're talkingng about taking g n the most powerful indndustry tht evever existed on the face of ththe earth, t the fossil l fuel indndustry. they've chosen to fight back using hundreds of millions of dollars, for example, in the u

>> therere's a credible body of work now that suggests that t if we continue with business as usual fossil fuel emissions, tthen by thehe end of this cent, we could see as mucuch as two meters, 6 feet of global sea level rise. now, that would bee catastrophic for many coastal regions. fofor the u.s. east cot and gulf coast, island nations around the world, some of which would literally be submerged by that amount of sea level rise. the ipcc makes a far more conservative statement. they state an upper bound of about a meter, about 3 feet. and ''s o once again an e exampe of where the ipcc arguably has been overly conservative. some, as myself, have argued that partly that's just due to the culture of science. scientists tend to be reticent. we don't like to make strong conclusions that we have to withdraw at somome later time. d there's also a component, i believe, due t to the pressure,, the outside pressure, the critics, the very well fundeded and well organized effort to literally y discredit the sciene of climate change, sometimes by attempting to discredit the scientists themselves. i

therere was like 24 hours of rebellion.ogically, these are disciplined espirithat have their d'cor. it since two messages. your governing poorly. we want clean elections and we want the winner to be recognized as the winner. obey the going to president when he orders us to lash out against the people. they are sisters and brothers. and they said, we're not going to repress the people. they demand transparent elections and vote count. stepped back.have they reached a specific agreement. but thehey left a revolututionay message wiwith the people. it is a group that is with h the people. we have confnfidence and we're grateful for this is sort of gesture on the part of the police, ununlike the military. ththe military are the ones who are killing usus. they should reflect upon this because they, too, are persons of t the people. amy: finally, whwhat do you see happenening fromhis went o on, president zelaya? >> asked generalal kelly. i alreadady told you what we're going to do. whate going -- i told you salvador nasralla is do

i have experienced all of this personallyly out therere. most beautiful way that the arctic refuge cocoastal plains s a nursing ground has been affected by the business, they , which in their language loosely translates to the simplest way for life begins. to turn the sacred way of life into an oil field at a time of extreme global climate change, george mondale calls climate grid down. it is s an epic crime. amy: explain how t this is being dealt with in the tax code, the tax bill today. called as what i have grand deception. for four decades, i guess alaskan congressman have usesed variouous techniques, intimidation, lying with deception, and this is their latest. this is not the first time they have tried to sneak this is part of the budget reconciliation process. in 1995, the bill passed but the president vetoed it. in 2005 again, they tried but maria cantwell through a valley in expert -- t through a valiant effort, stopped that process. in while theck it entire nation is focused on talking about the massive tax debt, they call it tax

that my in turn have the of florida over just threw up the balance >> without objections to read therere was an election last night i heard many colleagues on the republican side say elections have consequences but now we see they're trying to deliberately slow down the opportunity for the new the elected senator from alabama to come here to serve in the u.s. senate. that took quite a different view of the question whenever republican and an to convert debt and then to bypass the lakes of the opinion but the people of alabama siddur they still blast might but this chamber wants to deny them that police bomb negative that of the floor of the senate. now a few years ago in 2013 there was a household election in misery in the republican was elected in jason can tour the democratic secretary of state said absolutely he should be seated in the eighth district but he was seated in the house of representatives but within 18 w hours and those that would have fair representation. called on the majority leader to defend the people of alabama so i am here to talk about another issue of but the pres

we're grateful for that, but then therere had been some ugliness as well. there had been some discouraging email. but look at the difference. this is where strength of the stand and the standing for fairness is so visible. those who have written us ugly e-mails. this is how we look at it, the envelope of the mail, they do not write a return address on it. that speaks, that speaks, that, won doesn't know from the other but they're all displaying the same cowardice. they do not realize that how, it is so common because of the cowardice on the other hand. we have, we have people that have showered their love and their care and their courtesy. we have a letter from retired army nurse, 26 pages, she writes. she served in second world war in germany. on the 26th page she writes to us telling whole story of service in europe, prior to second world war, mr. and mrs. kahn, continue to speak. had more people spoken before second world w war we could have avoided atrocities that were committed in second world war. we could have avoided the atrocities that were committ

i do realize that in the grand scheme o of things, therere arer worse cases s of sexual harassmt , misconductd assault. but make no mistake, there's no acceptable level of such behavior. that simon think they can use their power, position, or notoriety to demean an attack women speaks to their character, tt ours. which, believe m is s a ugh lesson learned. in my case, only fe the redemptionf knknowg itit w not my own flaws to o ame when ad theccount of a story that has so mer my own that i finally felt absveved the gut ththat is somehow projecd an ima that ma me an eastarget. instead, this was serial misconduct and perversion on the part of mr. trump. amy: that is rachel crooks. you did not know her until now. 16, originally was like 10 or 12 and more have come forward, but as far as i am aware in the input i have gotten, none of us have talked to each other. so the thing i found for myself comforting was the fact the stories were basically similar. amy: rachel ended up quitting and going home. >> rachel quit her job and went back to ohio. we lost somebody in the city n.cause of the aggressio

therere's even a plane to do tht automatically by computer as a number of armed military always recommendedo make the whole thing militarized, as in the doomsday machine. generally, they allow for lower level majors, colonels to decide the time has come, we have lost a commanders, time has come to go. that is almost certainly true in north korea right now. amy: so when you heard about president trurump having that meeting with the joint chiefs of staff in the summertime, the one rex tillersony -- has not confirmed or denied this -- he called the president an moron," that was a currently in response to trump asking three times, if we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them? >> he allegedly asked that. that inlegedly asked the campaign. the answer is, we will use them and he is using them right now. it is not a question of whether ththe president might use them. he is using them the way you use a gun when you pointed at the buddy and a confrontation. whether or not you pull the trigger. and both trump and kim are using their weapons and that encounter right now. as many presidents have do

i am looking at 634. 2009, therere it to has been a dramatic moderation in the growth of credit. seen perhaps a rollover once again. are we going to see a continuation here? if we see a continuation of this line going south, does it mean we are safe in saying china will not experience a hard landing? we have not seen one dust are. -- thus far. george: these charts show a broader credit than the more often reported social financing number, so we took these and adjusted them ourselves and came up with sort of a slightly wider reaching measure of credit that captures credit passed through to vehicles that maybe financing real activity as well as the more traditional bank lending and so on and so forth. there is a big uptick in 2015 and 2016. as the stocks got pulled out by the chinese government, that had a positive impact on not just china but commodity prices, global growth, and so on. as we stand right now, it does not look like it is crashing. the annual rate of credit growth is only a little bit faster than gdp in past month and a little bit slower than gdp in slow months, but

crisis, therer were more than 200 newspapers in the united states.early every state and territory had at least one newspaper. most cities, medium-sized and ,mall towns, had two newspapers one republican and one federalist. this is the main d.c. newspaper of the early 19th century. most newspapers at this time were four-page weeklies. of paper,gle piece printed on both sides, folded back, four pages. not that complicated, technologically. a least a quarter, sometimes third, of these newspapers were given over to local advertisements. reporters, per se, though editors wrote a few pieces in each issue. that hadted letters come into the town or city, whether directed to them or people who were willing to share letters, by ticking the names off. they printed essays and other pieces anonymously that addressed local matters. for most newspapers, much of the other content came from other newspapers, international news, including news from --ernational papers terrorists, english newspapers. also international news he took from other newspapers. national news,

with the iranian threat and secondarily the threat of islamist extremism because there is a muslim thererlements between qatar and saudi arabia as well to flail around and do things that are uncoordinated, they don't check with us enough in advance and we wind up with a mess. this administration despite initial comments by president trump has taken a good position. i told this at the security conference this last weekend in the gulf. they basically are all in all supporting 55-45 because we have great interest but they made a mistake. it is objectionable in many ways just like i said and we discussed at length turkey and saudi arabia and other places but we can't be going scratching each other because these secondary sins when the real sending in the region is done by islamist reservists in iran so we have to get a better hold of >> >> and the feud eventually blows over in 2014 it did blow over but this looks uglier. >> might i just add that this is more in the nature of the of problem in the search of a solution but the problem with both turkey and patter they house very important facili
