and matt welch, editor at large with reason magazine.let me start with you, can the democrats capitalize on what happened there in alabama on tuesday or was this simply a victory over a deeply flawed republican candidate? >> well, it was the worst candidate of my lifetime. but look, as you know, alabama is the second most partisan state in the country. democrats hadn't won a senate seat there in 25 years. they hadn't won a statewide race there in over a decade. what you're seeing is democrats being able to compete in places that traditionally they've not been able to do. and, you know, i think what the dnc and the democrats in d.c. ought to do is, you know, stop talking and go down to alabama and learn the lessons. and so, you know, i do think this puts the senate in play, which three months ago, craig, you and i wouldn't have thought was true. and the house has been in play for a while. >> you think nevada's up for grabs, you think arizona's up for grabs? >> oh, absolutely. >> you think tennessee's up for grabs? >> i do. we have an unbe

since jay gruden took over the skins haven't done welch -- well. since he took over the redskins they had two winning seasons and made the playoffs only once. i have one word for that, people. turnover. if that is his last season with the skins, listen to all the names of the head coaches since dan snider took over the team in 1999. so many people on the screen. that's seven different head coaches during that time. tied for third most in the nfl. it is not a good trend, people. if you like jay gruden tune into sunday's game against the broncos. the redskins head coach turnover rate is high. that's why turnover is m redskins. we have a red chair, just a basic red chair and put it on the ground and sat a fan there. when you sit a fan there it is not just a red chair. it becomes the hot seat. you can september -- vent on anything redskins. >> this is line backer ryan kerrigan for the washington redskins. >> pretty cool. line backer ryan kerrigan lent his voice and time to sick kids at the hospital in falls church. he spent time coloring with patients.

brownsville, texas all the way down there a little bit of snow showing up as welch that's part of thethat we're going to be watching getting closer to our era and this storm may be getting a little bit stronger and as a result of that it may be able to push more moisture towards the d.c. area. light snow is possible. it would be mostly be saturday. if i were to speed up and get in here night or predawn on saturday then you'd have more of a chance of seeing some accumulation. at 10:00 we compared the american model with the rapid precision. it's very aggressive as well getting light snow in here as early as four in the morning keeping it around for the noon hours, still snowing at 6:00 before moving on away. that might be overdone if it is not, maybe it's a similar to this situation which is our rapid precision model which would mainly hold sno snow off until later in the day on saturday. after 8:00 and that would cut down on accumulations. right now i'm going to say maybe a gras i coating, up to two inches possible where you get that decent snow on saturday and again mostly not on roa

i was so privileged to be part of general electric for 30 years, to have jack welch as a mentor in providingrship and really help formulate a lot of my leadership skills and management skills. it was such a collegiate kind of competitiveness there were no one through anybody under the bus. if i was short a couple of pennies jim mcnerney would jump in or vice versa. it was just a wonderful, competitive, spirited, passionate kind of culture. >> but a team. >> it was a team culture. everybody took the field, were the same jersey. played for the logo on the front, not for their name on the back. >> but does not not happen once jack left? to speak there definitely was a transition and some of that may have been market backed environments. we went through the downturn, everybody kind of had to pull back. we saw the financial meltdown, certainly hurt the chrysler business that i was running at the time. >> it was incredible how close g.e. came to not being able to turn the lights on. >> amazing. even today i don't think the average person understood that they weren't generating enough cash to pay t

all decorated by the home state it's definitely fun to come on down here yourselves and see it as welchpark. back to you in the studio. that tree is massive. we were talking earlier about the topperment she said four feet wide. >> 40 pounds. it's a real tree it grows there all season. we accident descrag that in from another state. i'm a fan of that. not a bad day for the tree lighting ceremony weather wise. they were lucky. we had 6306-degrees today. that was above average again. average is 52 but we know how cold it can be on some of these tree lighting oh quaitions because so many people are out there for hours. they have to go through security and sit and wait for the caravan come down from the white house and it can really kind of sing in. tonight was not one of the lights nights. we did have a few showers pass on through. here's where the showers have gotten to. they've moved away swiftly as we expected. they were pretty light as well. we're not thinking that anything is going to be freezing because last of the showers already over here on the eastern portion of the chess eek bays

" did a retrospective of the 20th century, and the best manager of the previous 100 years was jack welch so you better have some confidence if you are going to take his job, because those are pretty big shoes to fall into. but i love, i loved working with jack. and i was proud to follow him. david: before you got the job, you grew up in the cincinnati area. jeffrey: yeah. david: and your father was at ge, is that correct? jeffrey: yeah. david: what was his job? jeffrey: so my dad worked in the aircraft engines business for his whole career, almost 40 years. so i grew up around factories, i grew up around technology business. i had the classic kind of middle class education, high school, public high school in one of the most midwestern cities you can have, cincinnati, ohio. david: all right, so you were a football star, is that right? jeffrey: i was a good athlete. that was really -- you know, when i was in high school, if you said, what are you going to do, i would have said i would be a professional football player. david: i said that until i was about eight years old or nine years old

and one of my favorites, reason "reason" magazine editor matt welch. welcome, everyone. so much fun. so, lisa, why did roy moore refuse to con creadt? is there some legitimacy to his gripe or is he just nuts? >> i don't think this is helping his case that he knows when no means no. so many people who did support him on a national level are saying i supported burke first. kennedy: he said there is so much fraud in alabama. people who study fraud, looked at it. >> it's amazing to watch the quality of the legal analysis in his brief. part of it was i passed lie detector test. we know that has a lot to do with voting integrity. whether you passed a lie detector test. kennedy: did they ask about voting integrity? he said out of state voters were voting. matt: roy moore is like the voting troll. this election fraud fantasy. donald trump still says and it's not re:fewed. that 3 to 5 million people -- kennedy: i worked in polling places in los angeles county. and you have to go in and get a provisional ballot without a driver's license. but the county still has to vet the provis

>> if jack welch was sitting here telling you he eliminated the 20% bottom performers each year. think by and large the president has been served well by his post-july staff. myself included for that matter. but there is room for improvement as there always is. my guess is he will have new people who are exciting and fresh who will help him out. jesse: do you see the russia investigation as a huge threat? >> i only see it as a threat, what happens with these special prosecutors, ken starr was appointed to go after the whitewater situation 25 years ago. he stayed there for five or sticks years and ended up hitting the president on the monica lewinsky situation. so for me these things get reckless. i don't like it on either side. if secretary clinton was in office they have would be hitting her on uranium one, the erase our of emails. there is always a scandal in washington. it's done to distract and attack and disfigure people. american people are actually tired of all that. they really want results. in the last 11 to 12 months the president delivered results. you left this out of

welch-- okay.-or ginni rometty or any of those executives behaving the way, you know, maybe the historical caricature of a wall street would have. the world for people who are running wall street firms seems to be pretty good in the sense that wall street profits are high, therefore, our expectation is so high, things are inevitably gonna go down. if you believe that the u.s. economy has turned, which i do, and the federal reserve apparently concurs, and if you believe that we are destined for economic growth, more like 3 percent than 1.5 percent, particularly with unemployment where it is, and if you believe that some of the policies the new administration is talking about on the economic front come through, with little trade disruption, then it's not a total surprise that markets reflect that. and financial service firms typically... as global economies recover the financial services firms or in the industry that recovers first, and within that sector, securities and brokers tend to be the fastes

oo welch. those are all democrats. some viewers don't want to hear it but 99.9% of us get along well in personal interaction. we have a hyperfocus on conflict in the country. the fact we get along doesn't make the news. what makes the news if there is one member on either side yelling at each other. i am entered in unity and that's what tim and i want to write about. >> an honor and privilege to serve you with in the united states congress. partying words? a good movie or new year's resolution? >> well, chairman gowdy is always telling me to ask better questions of witnesses at hearings. since he is older and wiser, i will take that advice to heart. >> do you have any words of wisdom or good movie or show that provides inspiration? >> i wish you a happy new year and johnny, you and mitchell a happy new year. jason a privilege to serve with you. johnny, you are my favorite member of the house. holiday movies. one that i found inspirational is narcos. >> i thought he was going to say bad sant. >> [laughing] >> my wife wo

jessica tarlov is here, along with a legend in the liberty movement, matt welch, and former new york congresswoman nan hayward returns. nan, of all of us here, you are the only one who sat in congress. what do you think of the tax plan? >> i think it's a tremendous step forward. can it be improved upon? sure. but it represents a real return of resources, capital and control to the american citizens. that's what we need. when i was in congress i saw the way government squanders your money because government is political. everything government does is done with cronies. kennedy: what do libertarians get out of this bill? what is the libertarian perspective. >> the best thing you get is a lower tax rate exceptn if you live in new york and work in the media. but the vast majority of americans you pay federal income tax plus kerp raitions. the flip side of that is we are getting to a stage now where the committee for responsible budget says we'll get to the trillion dollar deficit as soon as next year. increasing the deficit by $1.5 trillion. that has an impact on economic growth. what i

my name is ali welch i am the founding principal. i started in richmond as a public elementary teac teacher. in june i began designing the elementary school to honor the promise of continuous a long journey through college. as fighter for equity we must create schools where all students have access to teaching and learning and are loved for who they are. they shouldn't choose between education and learning environment. we will provide rigorous instruction. we will build a school where social and emotional learning and identity development are part of teaching and learning. time is taken on a daily basis to strengthen is relationship rp with each other. we will explore passions with an arts program and choice and personal learning to the day. i deeply believe that our vision will be actualized if we work alongside families and community members in the bay view. parent demand for the school is strong as 146 families have signed the petition showing interest in enrolling. i am meeting with the families regularly and hearing what they va

welch: i thank the gentlelady. we do need tax reform. we need tax reform that we all described in the beginning as something that would help the middle class, it would simplify taxes, and would be revenue neutral. this bill, sometimes described by its authors as doing those things, accomplishes none of those things. first of all, the middle class. wages have been stagnant. the jobs people are getting -- aren't paying the bills and we know the biggest challenges we face is increasing investment, increasing wages and increasing security. there is some benefits in this bill for the middle class. but let's get real. those benefits are tiny and they're temporary. vermont family, if you're lucky, we get hit with the salt deduction loss, you might make a couple hundred bucks. but at what price? once these benefits expire, 83% of the benefits of the individual tax rate go to the top 1%. at what price? $2 trillion added to the deficit, and let me tell you this. vermont families, hard-earning families, working families, they'd like a tax cut but n

the '60s, in the 1950s during the mccarthy era, and it took a hearing where it was -- it was joseph welch, the chief council for the army, to come out and said, have you no decency, sir? this is enough. there was a turning point, a tipping point. there are hinges of history that happen. and i hope we're nearing that. i hope there are enough people who will stand up, and i think as elected leaders, it's our responsibility to do that, and not just wait for the ground swell and wait for the people to direct us. we ought to actually lead. >> well, there is a way that congress can change this. do you think that congress should be pursuing every avenue to get president trump out of office? >> no, i don't -- i don't want to go down that road. i think we ought to simply require more of our commander in chief and our leader. but i don't think we're going to extra measures like that. the 25th amendment or something that people talk about, i'm not one of those. >> do you think he's fit for office? >> i have deep concerns about the president, but he was elected fair and square. he has the office. i h

matt welch, "reason" magazine's editor-at-large. julia, what can you tell us about this doj report and how is the doj responding to it? >> there were some fairly egregious points that came out just in the summary of the inspector general's report which we have to remember came out in june. it's just coming to light now in part because our national conversation has shifted where we're taking allegations of sexual harassment more seriously, perhaps, in light of the harvey weinstein scandal. also, because "the washington post" was able to get more details. some of these details include an fbi supervisor who subjected his subordinate to three years of harassment. this person was told to sign a pledge to refrain from conduct and was counselled. that still continued. another piece that "the washington post" found, a deputy u.s. marshal had sex with nine women in his office. these are the kind of things -- >> how many? how many women? >> approximately nine. >> really? >> yes. that came from a freedom of information act from "the washington

matt welch with reason, a monthly magazine. and larry mann, who helped write the federal railroad safety act in 1970. larry, what jumped out when you saw what happened yesterday? >> several things jumped out. one is had there been two competent crew members on the locomotive, if there had been distraction, if there had been some reason for the engineer not to be alert. the second crew person could have and would have warned the engineer to slow down. that's one thing i would hope the ntsb would focus on. the safety benefits of having two qualified persons on the locomotive. the other thing that jumped out to me is fatigue. fatigue is probably the largest single safety factor in the rail industry that causes the most accidents and injuries nationwide. i'm sure that the ntsb will investigate the workweek of this engineer to determine whether or not he was fatigued. i know that in many, many accidents throughout the country, this is a primary issue that causes accidents and incidents. >> it absolutely causes accidents. when you th

matt welch is the editor at large of "reason" magazine.d stipulate that you can make what you want of this particular "new york times" story. they cite this to their sources. they've printed that. the white house denies it. but we know the tone, carrie, that the president uses to address these issues, the sort of -- the bluntness of those comments. negativity and even hostility of those comments is not really at odds with things he said publicly. i think back to his speech announcing his candidacy when he talked about mexicans coming across the border. only in passing after saying rapists and murderers. he said i suppose some of them are good people. this is the tone. how does that affect when the president of the united states is talking that way, how does that affect the united states standing in this world? >> sure. so again, as you noted, the most inflammatory comments have been disputed by other people who were in the meeting as well. so that is important to note in addition to the official comments from the white house. but i think i
