i do believe that jeff weaver and the quote/unquote friends of bernie sanders, the campaign committee, came out and said those things did eventually get to the top of the campaign when it comes to jeff weaver, and other individuals. i think folks who were senior staff on the campaign, campaign manager level, and they did make some adjustments in the senator's midterm, in his 2018 campai campaign. the fact of the matter is these things should never have happened and the senator expressed that and underscores that. and you know what. i would hope that they are taking all of this, everything that's coming out into the media into account. whether or not the senator decides to run for president, i think that we could all benefit from a very healthy discussion about how we create healthy and holistic environments where folks do feel like they can speak up for themselves when they do encounter such harassment situations. >> amen to that. we have a record number of women in congress now, as of yesterday, so important to stay on it. i appreciate it, both of you. >>> still to come, the lawyer f

this is an article that i will quote -- when republican steve king beat democratic challenger jim weaver in of the race for iowa's fourth congressional district in a november, the washington post snapped into action. covering both the when and the wider electoral trend. republicans retained control of the house and lost only a handful of seats from the commanding majority. a stunning reversal of fortune after many gop leaders feared double-digit losses. the dispatch came with the "post" for which reporters are known. with one key difference, it was generated by a bot that made its debut on the "post" website last the most marked sophisticated use of artificial intelligence in a journalism to date. .com.is a story on wired,com now, the technology has evolved and gotten better since then. before you start thinking that the articles on the washington post are written by machines, we use heliograph's in fairly limited content and scenarios, and it creates content in areas where there's a lot of structured data, election results, sports scores, real estate, earning reports and so on. it is no

." >> newsmakers is back with scott wong and al weaver. the ideological soulmates on the house republicans of the heritage foundation are the freedom caucus. they are now the minority of the minority. what kind of power will they have from a policy perspective and a new congress? >> you're talking about mark meadows, jim jordan, and these guys, the most ultraconservative members of the house, the republican caucus. they have a very small percentage at this point of the entire house of representatives. they don't wield as much power in the minority because they can't block their party any more from passing spending bills and things like that, just simple legislation, but where they do wield power is they have the ear of the president. jim jordan and mark meadows are very close to the president, are very close to the president, they speak almost on a daily basis, if not definitely a weekly basis, and so they are the ones who have orchestrated this shutdown by convincing the president to stand firm on his border wall. that is the predicament

the first industrial revolution in the textile industry handwork blooms were replaced by machines weavers and other craftsmen lost their livelihoods many found new work in factories coal mines and heavy industry. in the late nineteenth century electricity was a trigger for the second industrial revolution a huge milestone came in one thousand nine hundred thirteen when henry ford introduced the assembly line for mass producing automobiles manufacturing became more efficient the telephone and the telegraph simplified and sped up communication by some measures this era saw the start of globalization. the one nine hundred seventy s. were a time of transition with the advent of computers and electronic data processing the third industrial revolution began. and every industrial revolution has led to job losses but generally. created new work in the long term is this night this could be different sign up we robots have learned how to learn and we can communicate with other robots even busses unless i want to is different about this full thing just real revolution of the technological driver is

questions are scott wong for the hill and al weaver from the washington examiner. mr. chapman, i want to ask you to describe to people watching around the country what it is like in this town and how you would characterize the state of affairs in our national government. tim: it is discombobulating, it's a little bit tense. everything is high-stakes. i think the great frustration for myself and many people in the kind of conservative policy world is the politics are overwhelming the conversation about policy. we certainly are engaged in politics. we live here and are part of this and a sense, but with five to find a way to appeal back those political layers and get to the bottom of what the policy issue should be. scott: there has been a ton of news this week. buzzfeed had a bombshell report recently that president trump directed his former attorney and fixer michael cohen to lie to congress regarding a trump tower project being plant in moscow. democrats say this is a clear case of obstruction of justice. some even calling for resignation. how serious do you think thi

last six months talking to never trump conservatives and republicans it would be calling up john weaver, who works for the ohio governor john kasich, or bill kristol, and they really didn't seem to have a lot of options besides governor kasich of ohio for 2020 challenger. romney's entering into this conversation now with this op-ed in the "washington post," giving permission, as kristol told me today, for donors throughout the party, people who are calling up spencer zwik, romney's top finance guy, and saying maybe romney to be a 2020 challenger. not if president trump's at 85%, 90% with gop voters. this is all about laying the foundation for a 2020 challenge should robert mueller's investigation hobble the trump presidency, should president trump leave office for some reason. this is all about romney setting in motion something that could happen. he's not moving formally toward a race, but this is giving traction, giving political capital to a movement in the republican party, that never truf bloc that had all but become stagnant. >> it does, a.b., play out sort of the long game that r

what bernie has said about some of these types of issues in the past, and frankly what jeff weaver, hisign manager has said, is that it's not acceptable, that it shouldn't have happened. they have taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen in the future. regardless if senator sanders runs for president or he doesn't, i think this is an opportunity to elevate the conversation and continue to elevate the conversation around the issues of sexual harassment, sexual violence, around the issues of pay equity so they can continue to be addressed throughout the -- not just in politics. we talk about business education everywhere in between because these things are still happening. >> thank you both for joining us, great to have you with us in the new year, the first week in the noo new year. thanks for being here. >>> a judge has extended special counsel robert mueller's secret grand jury, so what does not say about the probe and what can we expect this year? we'll discuss. ♪ the unknown beyond the horizon. that was once our frontier. but today, a new frontier has risen. and this is the vehicle

i think senator sanders and jeff weaver have said they will not invite anybody back who has been credibly accused of this misbehavior during the 2016 campaign. i think the 3r506 will be in the putt pudding whether he is addressing this. these allegations are bubbling up from within his own people that want to work for him again in 2020. but want to see certain schangs made within his campaign. so i think it will be sanders' own supporters that will be the arbiter of whether he's taken sufficient steps to address this misconduct from 2016. >> would you have done anything different if you had known on the clinton campaign about this at the time it was happening in 2016? >> i think that there was talk during 2016 about some latent misogyny in just the way of some elements of sanders' supporters talked about hillary clinton as a candidate. the way that supporters of hillary clinton would be shouted down on social media, sort of had an air of misogyny to it. that was talked about in 2016. these issues like these surfacing now were not known at the time. i think we would have still maintained t

new human resources standards for his 2018 re-election bid in vermont and former campaign manager weaver to that role if sanders runs again. despite the stumbles, he still enjoys a following begging him to get back in the race. last weekend various groups launched house parties across the country. more than 400 in all 50 states as well as puerto rico and the bahamas, an estimated 3,500 people took part according to organizers. whether he runs or not remains an open question. but sanders has made it clear he will only do so if he thinks he can win. >> one has got to try to be objective, not subjective and say, okay, i do think i can be the best candidate in helping to turn the country around, helping to defeat trump? that's kind of where we are right now. >> ryan nobles, cnn, washington. >>> okay, meanwhile racist comments, threats, even a noose hanging in an area where a black employee worked. we have all of the shocking allegations against general motors next. brador retriever and the golden retriever are very different. they eat, digest, and process energy differently. at royal canin,

so far, at least, publicly, i have not seen a single democrat weaver on whether they should engage in any sort of negotiation before the government is reopened. >> well, you know, there's the open quote, i belong to no organized political party. i am a democrat. in that sense, i'm always surprised when we manage to hold it together and stay organized. i think in this case, we understand, that if you cave to this kind of hostage taking, the only thing you'll get is more hostage taking. >> you don't reward bad behavior. >> exactly. >> here's the president's top economic adviser. i believe this is larry kudlow. >> extended for the whole quarter, and given the fact that the first quarter tends to be low because of residual seasonali seasonality, you could end up close to zero. the second quarter number would be humongous, if the government reopened. >> not larry kudlow. it was kevin. could the shutdown go on that long? >> i wish i knew. this thing seems to be going on for a long time. the strangest thing of all is that it would be so easy to end this shutdown. all that needs to happen is

here i don't want to confuse it that we are on this goal with 80% and last year when i testified weaver in the mid-40's -- sen. rounds: i don't mean to cut you off. i think you've answered the first question but what about the f-35's? right now the model that you are not admitting at this point indicates according to the data that we've got a vote of 17% mission capable rates. is that accurate today? adm. moran: it is a very small number. we only have one operational. we don't even have an operational yet. we have our training squadron , and the small numbers mean a couple go down any given day depending on when you report , it could drive the percentages really low or really high, so we need more run time, whereas the air force and marine corps have had more time and a better indication of what you can expect. want to move to the submarines for just a minute. we use this as an example of the reason we need to improve the capabilities of our dry docks. it became an example it wasn't e. it wasn't even able for the period, of up to three years and i presume that is now dry? him >> >> i be
