rebecca: we are getting to be on the back lots. scott: i love the objects like this wall because they are a reminder of how connected philadelphia is to the world. we often think of oceans as barriers, but they were highways. it was easier to ship something from rotterdam to philadelphia than it was to take a wagon load of goods to what is now pittsburgh. it was so easy to move goods. and this was the largest port in north america. and there was almost nothing in philadelphia, even as early as the 18th century could not have within weeks of someone in london. europeans often arrived and were surprised at how quickly the new fashions were adapted in these verbal things that survived and speak to that connection. rebecca: and we are so close to the delaware, just a couple of blocks from the river. so we are close to the port where all these things are coming into the country. very exciting. so, that's our earliest feature. we also have a feature that was found behind a house that would street.ed chestnut what was interesting is one of the

scott: okay, we are owned by nbc. we have invested in vox media, did not know that at all, but i wanted to make sure everyone else knew that that was something that had happened. so, it was news to me, so alright, now let's get to the actual first question. so, there is twitter, and there is reddit, and there is facebook. why did the world need another way to chat with their friends? sue: that's a great question. i think the reason is that it's become really difficult to have good conversations on some of the traditional social networks. and in some ways it's because they've been so successful, right? there's so much going on in facebook these days that suddenly our feeds are becoming kind of crowded, and noisy, and may not have everything that we're really interested in. and on twitter, it's become so terrific at breaking news and one-to-million celebrity megaphone, that it's a little bit scary for some people to come in and have a conversation about the topics they love. so, i think it's sort of a natural evolution

we are very excited it happened. scott: we worked with michelle erickson, one of the premier artisan virginia who specializes in doing very accurate archaeological replicas for just the source of instances. -- replicas for just these sorts of instances. it allows us to have a look of what it may look like when it was brand-new and sitting on the shelf. rebecca: but there is something different about the replica other than the real thing. this was really there. remember, she may have had prostitutes hanging around also. that is what she was being arrested for. this beautiful tea pot also came from the same assemblage of artifacts. they were serving tea, or mr. humphreys was serving tea when she wasn't behind bars. they also owned this beautiful thing. this is a wine bottle. it was a lot of wine bottles from this feature. great. we kept looking for more, but there was no more, i mean, no more as significant. the last day, scott was hanging over the fence asking us to find more. darn it. he was not satisfied. scott: one wonde

we take it down to 90%. that by 90%. -- by 90%. scott pruitt: i think in the near term, the most important thing we can focus upon at the epa is getting it all right. making sure the regulations that are posted and adopted by the agency are consistent with the rule of law and congressional mandates, and rollback those who are inconsistent from the previous administration. that is the work in the near term. long-term, asking the questions on how that agency partners with the state and how it affects the budget and structures is something we will work on diligently. clyde tate on the other side, you can clap for that answer. [applause] see what my time is, someone way that me when i do to shut up. the issue of climate change is brought up over and over again, you have been grilled on this mercilessly >>. -- mercilessly. scott pruitt: i didn't recognize anyone on my confirmation hearing. quote,thing i love to you said "if it is possible to minimize the rises of climate change, it is also the same exact duration should go for if people are u

and the layer is what we linked up who was living there when the stuff was thrown out? scott: fortunately, fashion has changed that allows us to date objects from generation to generation. rebecca: correct. urban archaeology is pretty dangerous because you are going down into these deep shafts and we have to dismantle the shop in order to comply with osha regulations. shafte to dismantle the and keep going down. you need heavy machinery to help move the dirt back and move the dirt out of the way. take the bricks away and move the granite. and excitingated because you have all of these people with different skills. , who arehine operators usually moving big stuff, we asked them, i just want an inch off because i think there might be something. they do it and they are so skilled that they can do anything. backhoe.rgery with a that is the fun of doing urban archaeology. you are working with people with so many different skills. and the people and the machine drivers and various operators, they never have been exposed to an archaeological site. it is always a learning process. to

to report out, you need a majority and roll call vote, and the majority is 11 and we had 11 affirmative votes for scott pruitt and he is approved from the committee to the full committee. >> do you expect that this move is going be challenged on the floor? >> no, as i said in the statement, and we can give you a full statement. this has been vetted with the parliamentarian and consistent with the rules, and if any challenge is made by the democrats the parliamentarian will sustain what we did here. >> thank you.

we don't want what happened in paris to happen in an american city. scott: president trump campaigned on promises to cut taxes and spend more. president trump: we're cutting taxes for the middle class and i will tell you we are cutting them big league for the middle class. maya macguineas: we have over-promised, we have over-borrowed, we need to deal with that first. dean baker: it's very hard to see how the debt is negatively impacting our standard of living now, i would argue that it's positively impacting it. scott: and even with a republican president and republican congress, nothing can fuel a washington fight like a battle over the budget. ♪ [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] sharyl: welcome to "full measure." i'm sharyl attkisson. today, we begin by digging into the unaffordable cost of a college education. according to one analysis, tuition at public universities has quadrupled over 35 years. the average cost of public college in 2016-2017 is just o

we are out here tonight to begin this warning to the country that there is trouble brewing if scott pruitt is in fact confirmed as the next head of the environmental protection agency. and what is it that we can look forward to? well, the oil, the gas, the coal industries oppose many of the obama administration's commonsense protections for our air, for our water, for our climate. one by one, republicans in congress are working to legislatively overturn many of those protections. they now have twice deployed a very rarely used procedural tool known as the congressional review act to benefit the coal, the oil, the gas industries by rolling back environmental protections. and republicans are planning to use the congressional review act to hand even more giveaways to the fossil fuel industries in the coming weeks. you can pick any industry you want, coal, oil, mining, timber, grazing. you go through. no matter how you spin it on the republican wheel of giveaways, some industry gets a big giveaway. they are trying to decide what is the next one that waters down the protection the american peop

what are we looking at here, scott? >> thomas, karen, really watching the temperatures dropping. i mean, yesterday we had high temperatures in the mid to upper 60s, even couple of 70s, kind of dotting the map yesterday. so those temperatures are dropping pretty rapidly, especially north and west. but of course we have to factor in some of the warm surface temperatures of the roads, due to some of the heat that we saw yesterday. and also the track, also the timing of this system, and we really have to watch those critical temperatures dropping with that transition of rain to snow across the area. so, as we look at ultimate doppler, you can see where the snow is occurring far north and west, where we have the green, where we have the yellow, that's still just rainfall. philadelphia, the i-95 corridor northern parts of delaware pretty much all every south jersey just looking at the rainfall, as we continue to kind of zoom in, harrisburg, looking at snow, lancaster, now changing over from rain to snow, as we move toward part of berks county, starting to see some of those first flakes

scott devitt, do we have you now? >> yes, can you hear me, scott? >> yeah, i can, thanks for bearing with us there as we fought through some technical issues. what's your read on the quarter? obviously not good if you just reiterated sell. >> i think that josh and others have, you know -- have made very good points. and the lifeblood of a business like this is -- starts with product. and that leads to users and engagement. and this company is on the very end of growth cycle in terms of driving growth and users. it discloses monthly average users, which have barely grown over the past two years. daily active users have begun to grow again. but it's disclosed figure on an absolute basis. and it's hard to determine how much of that daily active usage is driven by single events in recent quarters versus being sustainable. we think this stock, potentially on a fundamental basis, excluding josh's commentary about potential m & a still has significant down side. the midpoint of the 1q guidance was 22% below consensus estimates for revenue in the first quart

we head outside to scott williams right outside our window. lly is the transition, just amazing, how quickly it happened. >> absolutely. sue, we started out with rain. i had my umbrella we transitioned over to sleet. now dealing with some kind of heavy big wet snowflakes. it is going to be one of those wealth snow events. so it will pile up. see folks getting on the septa bus right there. and of course, take a look at market street. how it starting to get snow covered. so, kind of icy, dicey right now, here in old city. center city as conditions continue to deteriorate. on top of the trash cans, you can see, weaver a little bit of accumulation here. and of course we are watching the snow. mike jerrick, maybe you can do a little throw-back thursday, little later on, pull out the halloween costume you had elsa that matches your sweater, come on out here and do a little twirl. how about that? >> that dress has been burned. >> oh, it has, no throw back thursday for sneak. >> no. >> at least we have video of it. >> oh, there is that. true. no more e

we have the opportunity to gain some wisdom. when scott pruitt was nominated to be the administrator for the e.p.a., i sent him a letter on december 28. i asked 52 questions and asked to have the responses by januar. they didn't come. we had a hearing on january 18. i got some answers, not all. i also asked, also asked by sheldon whitehouse, was access to what the folks had been asking for for the center of -- from the center for media and democracy for two years and going back and forth with the fossil fuel industry, oil, natural gas, coal, and a variety of others. we said we would like to have access to those e-mails. when mr. pruitt was before our committee for his hearing on january 18, he was asked a question -- do you promise to provide information reasonably requested by committees here in the united states senate, including in electronic form. he said yes. but he didn't do it. in fact for two years the a.g.'s office fought off efforts to try to gain access to that information -- electronic media. it took a judge's calling an emerge

we appreciate your time, scott and tiffany, for having us here. we think we have something interesting that we can carry forward with you. it is a clichÉ -- i am from washington. i am here to help. i realize that can be overstated. but i'm from a different part of washington. maybe we can help. thank you for your time. i look forward to hearing from you in the future. [applause] thankor ducey: i want to frank kelly for being a, and finally jason furman. i was able to first see jason and year ago, and i think we are in for a treat this morning. jason is with the peterson institute for international economics and the discussion is going to focus on the continued impact of automation and artificial intelligence on the economy and the labor market, something i think is affecting a lot of our states. the international institute for senior economics. he served as the top economic advisor to president barack obama for eight years. he served on the council the divisors -- council of advisors, acting as both obama's chief adviser and a member of the preside

most americans believe we could protect the environment and still protect job creators, and so does attorney general scott pruitt. most americans believe we can have clean air and water without destroying thousands upon thousands of jobs for americans. that's what i believe. that's what scott pruitt believes. i would quote from a recent op-ed in "the wall street journal" which william mcgurn wrote in support of mr. pruitt but also generally in support of other nominations. but with regard to pruitt, mr. mcgurn says this, and i quote, the fierce opposition to mr. pruitt speaks to the progressive fear that he might help restore not only science to its rightful place but also federalism. and i think that's what scott pruitt is going to be about when he is confirmed tomorrow and finally gets down to working for us, the taxpayers, as administrator of the e.p.a. this is about the one-month mark in this administration, and we are slowly getting past this unprecedented slow-walk effort by our colleagues. i certainly hope with the 1,100 other appointments that have to be submitted and have to be spoken to by this

host: next we have scott from midlothian, virginia on the independent line. what is on your mind. caller: hi. first time caller. i love c-span. i ran into a gemini long ago who was the head of nasa's climate division for 30 years, a phd. he was actually professor hanson, who started this whole thing with his boss. i asked him if he believed in climate change, man-made climate change, and he said some people call him a skeptic, but he is really a denier. i said "why?" he said the science is not there. theent hours and hours over last several months researching what is the science, you know. we talk about photosynthesis, you can see the science, you can understand how energy from the sun helps plants grow. it is a chemical reaction. there is no science in the climate change model that everyone is worried about. it assumes that the sun's temperature has not changed ever. it assumes that the plates, as they move around on our molten core, have no effects on the weather pattern and ocean currents, which usually affect the climate. and when you go back to ice cores, the data is not ther

scott: we took the video to the maryland state patrol. >> this is aggressive driving. t: cars on the capital beltway speed along in packs, making dangerous lane changing, a new phenomenon for state police. they have seen motorcycles do it , but multiple cars and a pack they have not seen before. >> there are moments when they are dragracing. scott: how close did they get to vehicles? >> very feet of the front end and backends. scott: the beltway fast and furious grab an exit and take the danger to another level, one driver coming to a stop and waving his racing buddies past the law-abiding drivers. >> i could have gotten rear-ended. scott: the eye team wants to track down the beltway fast and furious. if you know who they are, give us a call. >> think about it the next time you are driving like an idiot on the beltway. people are just wrong to get their family's home. they're putting everyone in danger. scott: maryland state police make it crystal clear, allen has to testify against the other drivers or they do not have a case. if you know who belongs to the capital bel
