i understa the politics.ny years but i'm not surprised that i didn't succeed in winning the pr battle, but i think in the long run their benefits to the had and therefore i'm confident. >> there's another item that might be of interest and that's children's programming and that's an item that the chairman has asked you to spearhead at the fcc. can you give us a sense of what you think they should do in that area. >> we had issued a notice of proposed rulemaking and made it public under the procedures so all the public can see our draft item and it will be adopted hopefully in a couple weeks time and it will ask a bunch of questions on children's television programming. we are going to explore all the different issues and aspects of the commission's rules on this. they are implemented over the years, particularly in 96 and 2004 and we will try to find a way to thread the needle or we improve the experience for consumers and children and also provide broadcasters greater flexibility that they don't have today g

. >> if you can help me understa understand, i don't understand the question.i have met david bernstein. i lost one of my senior staff members to him some time ago. i don't believe that we ever did any work with them to [inaudible] >> a couple follow-up questions on that. [inaudible] as part of a consumer motivated campaign for a presentation like that. >> when you accept the fact we tried to demonstrate the methodology that we haven't had any relevant case studies on how this methodology could be employed. >> you've given your answer to the committee on that. some people might be concerned about this piece of work. it's the improved results that's one thing but it's the kind of methodology for the clients in other countries as an appropriate information sharing knowledge part of the work. >> we were sharing some kind of tops the intelligence please understand he can certainly speak to this common practice that has been undertaken over the world under very many jurisdictions and this is not some government secrets that we are giving away a but it's how to targe

we want to make sure we understa thave t commitments. that provocative language needs to change a little bit on the president and all of them need to be on the same page. if we're going to have success in any negotiations with north korea, we all have to be >> quick yes or no answer. is america safer than it was on mondaynk yes, absolutely i think there's no way you could say that we're not. we're in dialogue, we have a -- somebody will answer our call to de-escalate things. that in and of itself was a big step. >> appreciate your time this morning, thank you. >>> a lot of ahead for us this hour. the ranking member on the senate foreign relations committee what he has to say about president's declaration with kim jong-un. also stunning loss, trump critic mark sanford falls in the south carolina primary after trump slams him on twitter warning to other republicans heading into the midterms. >>> and a federal judge halts the government's push to try to stop the at&t and time warner merger. a ruling that has major imications across the land

i think it is important to understa that what makes this historical is president trump is the first u.s. president to agree to meet with these guys. when i was working on the north korean negotiations, i tried to get president bush to send kim jong-un a letter and he looked at me like i was crazy. this was the attitude and quite understandably because the north koreans had done so little and were just looking for so muchn terms of international recognition. so we have a long way to go on this. >> what is a win for president trump? what's a win for this administration? >> judging from the fact that is he going to leave early. that's already a win. i was worried that he'd stay a couple of days and actually try to negotiate nuclear weapons. so this suggests, actually, that he's going to somehow have an introductory meeting and say, look, we're going to continue this and i'm going to have my experts meet with their experts and see what we can do. so that is kind of some return to professionalism. i hope that's really what's happening. at any rate, it really kind of scares me to have our pre

. >> you disjust laid out a very compassionate case for understa a very compassion -- with a lot of compassion, a lot of empathy in there. but it's not very empathetic the most traumatic thing to do to the kid separate them from their parents once they made that journey. why do that right now? i understand we have an immigration debate going on in this country. why use these kids as leverage? >> well, i certainly don't want anybody to use these kids as leverage. i saw a headline that breathlessly screamed as much and i objected to that forcefully. let me say this. these children are -- >> in fairness by the way it was a white house official who told the "wall street journal" -- the thinking is to force people to the table. >> by the way i want that person to say it to my face, i really do. i'll meet them at t white house because i think that's a disgrace. >> should that person be fire liquiditied? >> that person should have the guts to come forward and put their name to that quote. how's thatter? number two, and most importantly, these children are handed over to hhs. why? because 's human ser

to understa so if i'm the police officer and if i'm in front of the commission for disciplina disciplinary position, what do i want to say? >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> i want to see why i'm before them. i was them to give me a platform to explain to them, these are the actions that i took. these are the things that i did, these are the rules that i was bound by and sort of figure out -- and be open to that. and also as an officer, i'd have to explain to the person who was questioning me why deviated from the rule if at all or why i didn't. but to allow me that platform and allow me to sort of, you know, present my case in a fair and impartial way. and after you hear all the facts, and you ask all the difficult questions, then, you come up with a finding; that you don't go in prejudging me. >> supervisor cohen: my final question is can you describe your experience in leading or participating in a disciplinary hearing. >> i think that my experience in sort of discipline has been one of the examples being, you know, leading a trial team. you have different sort of parts that are critical to

and it is- it's -- it's gut wrenching to see and to understa knew answers of this that you could have young kids, as young as 1 or 2 sitting there waiting to be picked up by the department of health and human services for up to 22 hours while their parents are off in court, might end up in federal prison and they don't know when they'll see each other ever again. >> it's disturbing to look at, it's disturbing to listen to. i'm sure it was disturbing to be there in person as you've described. we want to get to the politics of this for a second. and while we do, we want to lay out this kind of fact check that we have. part of it seems to be intentional on the part of the president and the white house, so the president saying things like, he's just tweeted a moment ago, change the law, for example, there doesn't need to be a law changed. >> there is no law. >> there's no law that requires kids to be separated from their parents. so, jacob, i'm going to ask you to hang out. i know you'll come back with any new reporting for us. let's talk about that for a second because as jacob's been sa

i feel like the elements of policymaking is hard to understas vend so useful. back to this framework that is useful, at least as was practiced by the obama administration. i worked on the development part of it at the pentagon. i think if you think back and look at what the obama administration was trying to president obama comes in, and is focusing on the fight against afghanistan and the war with al qaeda and its affiliates. he enters with the capabilities from the military and intelligence community that have been refined over the past seven years in the iraq and afghanistan theater. we have highly developed ways of identifying and tracking terrorists, and emerging technology which has developed quite a bit at that point. the theaters kind of emerge accordingly, right? we are all-in in afghanistan. in other theaters, like yemen and somalia, we are ratcheting up where we are providing training. the world ends up in many ways looking far more bipolar they -- then i think it is today. let me just unpack that a little bit. on one hand you have afghanistan and ir

that is my understaing. there is a spruce beetle website that is up. we have also awarded special technology development grants to develop lands that have a broader look both spatially at detecting the past and the present disturbances across alaska. this will help us monitor the insects and disease activity on a larger scale. it helps us to get behind this. we are working in southeast alaska, the largest area, there are small pockets of spruce beetle activity. the largest area is in glacial bay national park. we have a protection program collaborating with park staff to monitor this through the summer. we are working across boundaries in the park as well. >> as we all know, it's not just alaska, we have the beetle issue raised by other colleagues. again, i want to make sure that these forest management tools that we have provided you in the omnibus, to do more when it comes to prescribed burning. we want make sure were making every effort to reduce the fire risk. also, we really want to work to address the management reforms that we believe are critic

understa there's a provision in the cost principles that say this. you have to read page one.you got to read page one. federalt principles cannot override appropriations law that's what it comes down to. so what i think everyone should do here, all the state agencies and everyone in treasury involved. let's get back to what did congress intend in the t.a.r.p. law and what is this program for. it's not the standard. do you have to spend the money? and what i suggest they do is talk to each other. and say california you're not spending anything on this. arizona you're not spending anything on this. other state agencies not spending anything. and they talk to each other and say are you using this money for bonuses? i think that's where accountaty comes in. all it is about is getting back to what congress authorized. if they do that, if they talk to each other and they work something out, i think it'll be back on trk. it shouldn't ble u to each state. >> my concluding remarks on is that, first of all, you have to take seriously what congress intends. that's true of every federal a
