of the position in the of the books that say that he is favoring tierney because they read two or three pages it seems like he's setting up the case for absolutism. but then he sets it up and demolishes it in a particularly brilliant way. to understand how brilliant the demolition is you have to understand the arguments for the absolute rule or the decision by people like carl schmitt. so why is he doing this. they are with the neocons or the extreme right and then somehow deconstructing him and here comes the controversial hypothesis. after the age of 30 i do think that he was attracted. as it was described in any way diagnosed in 1941 in the lecture that he gave at the school in new york called german and i al-isam and it was around the age of 30 that he started turning away from this point of view when he had a critical engagement with schmitt that resulted in a short essay that he would describe much later in his life as the first expression of the quote on quote change in orientation and that came from being sickened by and disillusioned by the pre- wimax and the realization that t

it is john tierney. >> a block. the lede. that's the first story. >> brian was lying. as was reported brian williams now admits that a story he has been telling over and over for a decade simply isn't true. williams had been claiming in speeches and on his own show and on shows like david letterman that while this iraq in 2003 a helicopter he was on was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and forced to make an emergency landing. here he is just last friday. >> we want to share with you a great moment that took place last night. the story started with a terrible moment in the invasion of iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. our traveling nbc news team was rescued, sur rounded and kept alive by the third infantry. >> on wednesday the military newspaper "as far as and stripes" quoted service members who were on the chinook saying that williams was no where near them when they were hit, and williams offered an apology on wednesday night claiming he miss remembered. >> i made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago

. >> -- to not be subjected to the fascism and dictatorship and tierney of a group like isil that rapesng girls and imprisons people women, and burns books, and destroys schools, and deprives people of their liberty, burns pilots cuts off of the heads of journalists, and basically declares a caliphate that challenges all of the nations in the middle east and elsewhere, and threatens all of us with violence. so we face a challenge, and i hope everybody here will stop and think about all of the components of how we respond to that. it's not just kinetic. the next president will be asking you to deal with somebody somewhere unless we start to think about how the world joins together to drain the pool of recruits that are readily accessible to people with such a wharped and dangerous sense of what life ought to be like. so that's what this meeting, that's what these discussions about the budget are about, and i hope we're going to pull ourselves together in a way that facilitates my visits with a lot of leaders around the world when i walk in and say how are you doing with your budget? and

but, the problem is he was substitute tierney for war and as we look around the world a lot of peoplem to prefer violence to tyranny. so, the solution doesn't seem to quite work and must you are willing to use her come to so pinker in his view violence diminishes the more fully than some authoritative regime is able to secure peace in the terror for. well, it's true in a way. what happens then is violence is kind of internalized when we have less crime in a society at large we often have more crime in prisons. we move the criminal activity. so violence, war these are with us. we are not angels. we have to learn to control and we have to learn what they really do. we have to do with a really mean. >> professor ginsburg, could an alternative title for your book "the worth of war" the realpolitik? >> yes. it is a work applying the ideas of political realism to another. but, my publisher like the alliteration, "the worth of war" what can i do. publishers right title straight authors just write the words. >> you talked about the civil war, what have we learned what progress have we made fr

joining me now, the global financial chief investment officer and jim tierney, u.s.t off the bat how notable -- because i think it's going to be serious -- but how notable do you think the effects of the port slowdown on the west coast and the snow on the east coast will be to gdp? >> i think it could drop the gnp below 2% for this coming quarter. it's a replay of last year, it dropped it, and then it comes on very strong in the second and third quarter, and i see exactly the same events happening. liz: jim, i'm not going to parse which one is more important because both together collectively hurt the nation. you saw molly line's report from boston that small businesses, large businesses are basically shut down in boston. >> absolutely, a big city. but last year it was the whole east coast and parts of the midwest. this is a little bit more isolated, so i don't think it's as bad as last year. liz: that said, chris, let's get right to it. you are able to recommend stocks you believe will actually be somewhat insulated, but i'm amazed some of these are retailers, chris

eric church then took it global and defended hometowns everywhere to be free from tierney and terrorismt and won four awards. nominated for six. 22years old, he credited his success to his ex. he said thank you for breaking my heart on stage. of course, lots to discuss. still, we have to get to the fashion. all of the hits and misses. back with that in a few minutes. ken and liz. >> all right. betty, see you in a few. >>> the wind is at it again. 9:00tonight a huge tree blew over and landed on an suv. this is at baxter street. and it snapped a power pole and took the lines with it. because-- because of that 2400 customers without electricity. and on market street in san francisco, wind gusts blew chunks of styrofoam off of a hotel building. they were heavy. 60pounds. one person on the street below was hit on the head. he is in the hospital tonight. >>> paul, this storm not ever yet. >> no. the wind is winding down, but the rain is ramping up. the wind gusts near 60 miles per hour. for that reason the national weather service meteorologists have extended or wind advisory. six more hours

fighting domestic violence, tierney and terrorism, were other issues also brought to light during the show. >>> and another reason why we got zero sleep last night, because we were all up to 1:00 watching the grammys. >> terrific. >> favorite performer? >> definitely annie len norm -- lennox. >> i like the old guys. >> kanye. >> yeah. >> bob dillen. >> and best dressed. >> taylor swift. >> and we have the highlights and the lowlights on kpix5.com. hi, everybody. good afternoon. a little splash and dash rain shower in and around the bay area. let's call on the high def doppler radar and you can see on the screen right there, a little bit of green. did you see it? very faint. but it was there. >>> this is our live kpix weather camera in the city of san francisco. looking out to coit tower. beautiful puffy clouds. you know what this is? when you have a little bit of light drizzle and a little bit of residual moisture and clear sky, rainbow weather out there. since friday, 12 miles north of hillsburg, ang unincorporated community, 13.5 inches of snow since friday. and ben lomen in the san

. >> i want to bring in jim tierney, chief investment officer at a be.ur number one. oil is the last thing you are worried about? >> i'm really not worried about it. it is a huge cut for the consumer. i filled up my tang on $41. it is amazing. >> ok. i agree with you. i have seen a 50% cut when i am filling up my gas tank in my own pickup truck. my imaginary one. why aren't we seeing that more priced into the market these days? >> you will see it when consumers start to spend. consumers have been banking the money for the most part it over time, as their banking accounts get the -- get repaired, they will say, i feel better, and then they will start spending that. >> i think you are seeing it already. look at general motors just out right now with the u.s. sales at 18%. ford was up 15% and crisler was up double digits as well. what you're seeing now with ford and gm posting crisler-like numbers this is having a real impact. people are going out and spending money and they are buying trucks thankfully for the u.s. automaker. >> you may -- you believe we m

the full weight of tierney comes down upon them, but there seems to be a differentiation, and a focus and prejudice against afro-cubans, if you could speak to that. >> the appreciate your concern and interest today. and i appreciate that concern even from those who are in agreement with barack obama's policy. >> before i answer your question directly, i would like to reflect on something. and with all due respect for one of the panelists, i felt great pain a few months ago. i felt ill-at ease. to lin to the cuba situation being called bad but not that bad. >> translator: the situation in cuba is bad but not that bad. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> translator: i really don't understand what you mean by saying the situation is bad but not all that bad. [ speaking in a foreign language ] and when you talk about cuban mothers, who go to sleep crying because they have no food for their kids the next day. i think of those young women that had to become prostitutes so they can feed their families. i think of the fact that cubans can barely afford to live i think about the gross inequa

our adversaries understand that we wish ill on know people in this world, but we will not stand for tierney in the world that threatens our way of life and the way of life of our allies. we need to do both. that is something a president can do without any legislation but through his or her intention, honesty and time to spend with the leaders around the world. [applause] >> halfway across the room. a question was submitted ahead of time. we are from new hampshire. if we go to the ocean, we say we go to the beach. you say you go to the shore. you clearly get reelected multiple times in a blue state. we are saying the same thing with beach or sure. how could you translate the same thing you have done in new jersey to the national level. ? >> i don't think there are different brands of honesty. straightforwardness and honesty is what it is. in new jersey, i told you what a blue state we were. i got 48 and a half -- 48.5 percent of the vote. i ran for reelection against a female opponent, a state senator. i got 61% of the vote for reelection. i won by 22 points. i had 22% of the african-america

brandon tierney, co-host of of a radio show is here with more on that.you going? >> i have a problem with my kids. we sit down to watch the mets and they say, it's boring i'm leaving. >> your problem is you're watching the mets. >> but also that the game goes on so long. >> yeah. you can go back to 1981. it's a problem. they've final started to tackle it. and they're finally responding. >> you look at the nfl and it's 3 1/2 hours. >> it's fast and there's nonstop action. really if you boil it down there's only 11 minutes of actual action. if you cut past the huddle guys jogging off the field and reviews, it's 11 minutes. what they do more effectively than baseball is the down time they utilize replay they engage the mind keep it quick, keep it fast. baseball doesn't do that. >> all right. they do have a problem with millennials in baseball. one of the things they plan on doing is they now say managers must make instant replay requests from the dugout not the field. >> there's only a few challenges per game. it's kind of tactical thing because what manage

framers of the constitution understood the accumulations of powers and tierney were inseparable.y rejected giving the newly created chief executive the legal authority to dispense with the enforcement of the laws. that of course in their mind was the providence of congress. my question to you is, do you believe that the president's recent actions comport with the framers conclusions and is president obama refusing to adhere to the take care laws and was the acting constitutionally when he did that? >> you ask a very salient question. absolutely, the president here is violating the take care clause because his duty under the constitution again is to see to it that the laws are faithfully executed. even if the laws are completely broken, and everybody on both sides of the all agree that the law is broken, the president does not have the constitutional power to fix it. if it's going to be fixed it has to be fixed by congress and congress alone. i think the framers would be rolling over in their graves if they knew what this president was doing. let me address prosecutors real discre

in the middle east one form of tierney replaces another. when secular desbespots grow stronger. hillary's war in libya is a perfect example. hillary's war made us less safe. libya is less stable and radical jihadist run amok. they swim in our swimming pool. hill's war in libyas allowed thousands of surface to air missiles to fall into the hand of islamists. as she was declaring victory when i asked her if she ran ambassador's stephen's cables for help, she answered curtly, "no" as if she had more important thins. i believe hillary clinton's abdication, refusal to provide an adequate defense for benghazi should forever preclude her from higher. [applause.] it's time for hillary clinton to permanently retire [applause.] in the middle east a dangerous and bar barrick cult has arisen. isis has become a threat to our embassy in baghdad and our consulate in erbil. it grew as a safe haven by arming rebels in the civil war. when i voted against arming the islamic rebels in syria, i warned that these arms might end up in the hand of jihadists and that one day, we might be forced to go ba
