spicer: that is a good uestion. whether or not they achieve that outcome is yet to be seen but i think there are things they could exhibit in both of those areas, but is clearly the prudent thing for the president to do to build that relationship and see if we can achieve an outcome that is in all her best interests. reporter: how concerned are you about it up tick in the language that a tweet could potentially provoke military action? is there concern a lot of the words being thrown around could have an unforeseen impact? how concerned is he about the risk of unintentional conflict? mr. spicer: i don't think that is there. i think we are taking all the prudent steps. reporter: first, a follow-up on the tax question. you always talk about we are under audit. is it time to say once and for all the president is never going o release his tax returns? mr. spicer: i will have to get back to you on that. eporter: really? mr. spicer: he may. i will have to get back to you on that. he is still under audit in the statement s

. >> let me conclude with a .uestion inside baseball have there been past issues between the 210 chambers on >> those areirs? two of the more bipartisan committees in congress. but i think you have different philosophies between the house and the senate, when bernie sanders is care of the senate and tried to do some really big legislation that was not paid for. which did not move anywhere. his predecessor jeff miller was more in the vein of moving very small bills, low-cost spree it even when they negotiated the choice program in 2014, how to pay for it was a big sticking point that held those negotiations up and they ultimately went with $10 billion that was not offset after figuring out various ways to offset it. is more of a process approach. in do you make major changes terms of opening up v.a. benefits? >> we will look for your work on politico.com. thank you for being with us and thank you for your questions and insights. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. >> c-span, where history unfolds daily. c-span was created as a public servby

we have been collecting .uestions from everybody here we have a stack of them. if there are more we have some staff that will gather them and bring them up. i see a couple over here. with these, i have gone through the ones i have already to come up with a few representative questions i think. so, while one, am not sure you can have have to this one but there's a lot of interest in your senior team and when we will be hearing more. so just as in fyi, people are curious about who else will be in the building making these decisions. that there are a lot of people in the room who are -- thank you -- you are either receiving had assistance -- receiving hud assistance, have public vouchers. the budget cuts are very real immediate to them and there is a concern about people actually losing their homes. you talked about giving some assurances about that nobody would lose their homes. i am sure that was a comfort. i am thinking people would like to hear a little bit more about that and how, given the cuts that are proposed, how you can assure that people would be able t

what was behind all the uestions you asked? >> this came up when they rolled out the website earlier. from are concerns not just reporters but from veterans, saying the problem three years ago was not necessarily that had full transparency with these numbers, but manipulated behind the scenes. there are still a lot of concern that whatever data you put out , that this is what is actually going on. public affairs problem. they still have to regain the trust. sane the hospital has customer satisfaction is a good step read most of the veterans service organizations have said that, but they have to believe that what is being said is also true. the veteransago crisis line, the suicide hotline, there was an wasstigation that said it reporting that hold times were acceptable and within the boundaries, so if you call and get on hold, that is not happening. there with was transparency there, but they were sort of fudging the way they were talking about hold times. there were people waiting

it could be -- our view that this global economic boomlet we're seeing will continue. ,uestioning that right now commodities like iron ore, we will be open-minded. we will stick with it, when you look at global pmi almost as you have been here, they beat expectations, they're both 50 nearly everywhere in the world. i want to get a quick opinion on china. we had some china data to absorb but the shanghai composite is struggling. any top lines on china? >> we do own china stocks, mainly in the age share markets. -- h-share markets. iron ore has a good run. but a correction. we do not see anything fundamentally wrong with china. for a long time, we have been saying what is hard to pretend is not going on is value in the market and people who are close to china, who work in asia seem to be a bit more bullish than people out here. so we side with them. we will talk about emerging markets as we go through the program. manus: it will bring you an exclusive interview with the ceo hitting the tapes at 9:15 a.m. london time. anna: the fight of france is less than a week away. the election remain

and then we'll be in position to make a reasoned response to the uestion. [laughter] >> they said come back any time. he's always welcome. mr. ross: i'm glad you're out of questions, because i'm out of answers. mr. spicer: now the secretary is exhausted up. up on the screen well, had discussion about this yesterday,s the landing page for the content of the website that we launched late last night on the president's busy first 100 days. i know that many of you noted the robust pace that the president has kept in this first 100 days. it's a glimpse of some of the action he's taken, some of the key priority he is made to the american people. despite the historic obstruction by senate democrats he worked with congress to pass more than legislation in his first 100 days than any president since truman. these bills deliver on some of his most significant promises to the american people. he signed a historic 13 congressional review act, declared unnecessary regulations and keep government out of the way of the american people. he extended the veterans choice progr

n so i think when i look at it, i hink that we misunderstood this, that the real issue was the uestionf -- was question of arab nationalism empirialism, and the thing that the americans otally missed were all the rivalries among the arabs. this is the thing that thing wer -- this is the that really forced eisenhower to have a paradigm shift. he came to realize that if you one arab leader, you have already alienated a bunch because they are locked in conflict with each other. you can't organize -- there's no the arabs. there are different networks of arabs. one, you're owards opposing the other. that's the essence of middle politics. >> king abdula of jordan is one allies, certainly among the arab countries and here is his father, king hussein, who we were rather those o as a country in days. only hope we can to -- when israel starts to feel and believe that there are in palestine. >> what role was jordan playing and what role does it play now? time, it was, at the was the country that was the closest to britain. its army was called the arab glub , and it was led by pasha, a british off

second, though, in terms of a uestion, i think you mentioned 40% to 50% of students that are in graduate stem programs are overseas, international students. why do you feel that is not more appealing to american students? why don't you feel the demographic is more appealing to american students? why do you feel there is such a strong popularity overseas? mr. morrison: that is a great question. if you look at the u.s. population, roughly 5% of the world's population, we have the best universities, particularly at the graduate level, in the world, so it's not surprising that we would have so many international students compared to american students. if we are truly global universities, you would anticipate 5% of the students would be americans, not 50% or 60%. so we are seeing a phenomena, however, which i think is good for development, that it used to be the only good schools -- i'm exaggerating here -- were in america. that's not the case anymore. we are seeing world-class schools grow and prosper around the world. students who used to come to the united states have good opportunities in

i have a more simplistic ,uestion and a dueling chart for those of you with a bloomberg at home or work.his is the u.s. treasury curve if reducing the balance sheet works on the long in and raising rates is obviously a tool for the shorter end, where should your rate desk go in terms of investment, how do you see the curve flattening? >> if we look ahead, i would expect to see an ongoing flattening of the curve. the key point is to say there's an awful lot of actors that will be impacting over the coming quarters that will influence the u.s. yield curve. i would be very careful on the idea that it's just one or the other and that it works in such a way. when we look at the correlation , the clearly has been an influence from what's been going on in europe in particular on to the u.s. term premium as well. the effectention fiscal policies going to have an a lot of that depends on the trump administration's ability to pass legislation. we heard overnight from gary cohn, according to bloomberg to --ing that he is said the so-called bringing back of the classical rule. is that a material fa
