peter whittle climate, that takes a lot of courage, i think.om ukip, thank you forjoining us. let's get a little bit more all from the debate. caroline lucas was talking about the relevance or irrelevance of trident. we would stop spending money on things we simply do not think is a good use of money. and trident nuclear weapons would come pretty close to the top of that list. we will scrap nuclear weapons, which would give us around £130 billion over the next 30 years. we would not be building hs2, or going ahead giving massive subsidies to nuclear power stations. first of all, the thing you do is you stop wasting money, and then you have a principle that says that those people who have more money, who have the broader shoulders, should be giving more into our system. so essentially what we need to be doing is to be levying things like the wealth tax, looking at issues around, asi wealth tax, looking at issues around, as i said before, corporation tax. i think it is wrong that we are going for this bargain basement tax haven. i think we should

get essentially a society that gives up through a million different municipal decisions that just whittle away. that makes it almost impossible. >> through the abandonment like the enforcement of that. we have given up of project of desegregation and the biggest thing i've come to believe to reviving and resuscitate and that is a social project. >> is boring to understand the behavior of your brain tells her spine tells your muscles to do something and how you behave but what is incredibly complicated is understanding the meaning of the behavior but that is the appalling act the heroic self sacrifice and the deep betrayal to understand the biology of the context of our behavior and that one is really challenging. one thing that is clear your never to understand what is going space if you cannot insure with the childhood experience so any behavior that occurs as ceo, of the biology that occurred one second or one hour before up about 1 million hours before. there is a crisis was some violence people running around and a stranger running at you in an agitated state you cannot be sure the fa

and there are dozens of court decisions that whittle away from it, parent involve almost makes it impossible to create a desegregation theme voluntarily through a school district, through the abandonment of fair housing legislation, everybody. like the enforcement of it, right? so what facilitates this, we have each other living near each other. we've given up on desegregation and in its places, we'll put corralling and controlling. and a big thing i've come to believe in writing this book, if it should be a priority to revive desegregation, explicitly in those terms as a social project. >> after words airs saturday at 10 p.m. and sunday at 9 p.m. eastern. you can watch all after words programs on our website, book tv.org. >> the elite framers, people like madison, hamilton, washington, were a little bit aghast that so much democracy had led to these debt relief laws and paper money laws in the mid 1 time and they wanted to shut down these populists. and they did write article 1 section 10 which bars states from paper money laws, debtor relief laws, and the idea was with a national governmen

in fact, you can make a plausible argument that whittling down the field is probably going to be the most difficult part has as i show you the names and faces we've already talked about, we are talking of some of the most highly qualified specialists in this area. big names include fran townsend, mike rogers, himself a former fbi agent and he has also been endorsed by a group of former and current fbi agents. for his part, the president spent his saturday delivering his very first commencement address at liberty university. he said this shouldn't take a great deal of time to whittle down. >> before you leave before saturday's departure. >> these are outstanding people who are very well known. >> before the trip next week? >> even that is possible. >> sources tell fox news it's unlikely the president will look for someone who comes from a specific or strictly political background. likely he will draw on someone who has experience from the intelligence community specifically and maybe someone who can say they've done a bit of both. laura: some from capitol hill are floating their own i

he started with a double-digit lead and quist is whittling that down.they wanted to define him as a liberal. they take credit for his negatives also being high. to win a closeg race they thought was maybe a five point race. it bore some resemblance to the lenten/trump race -- clinton/trump race. that was what they were hoping for. it's unclear if that is going to pan out today. one factor, it's hard to nail down the meaning of it. because of this rural population, half of the voters typically passed early absentee ballots. democrats are confident the quist vote was coming out. he is from of the most conservative parts of the state. -- aent 40 years as you musician with a big following the state. they had no idea he was into politics. they thought they were getting some protest votes in favor of him. democrats are not confident they can win this race. they are not either spend it voters are going to side with the republican. they are not sure what's going to happen. committee, keith ellison has called on the republican to quit the race. there is not enou

there is a similarity here, back in1987, me there is a similarity here, back in 1987, the tory lead whittledeks of the campaign to the extent that there was a major dust up tween david young, and norman tebbit, who worked the high command of margaret hatcher, a week before the poll, worried that they would throw it away, and they managed to get a majority of 110. but clearly there are issues. tory people talking about the manifesto authors, saying they should be taken out and shot after the u—turn over social care which is not. does the paper name? unsurprisingly not. he can't be an mp. one of the things they draw on is this bit between two of them and the team is very close—knit and they we re the team is very close—knit and they were divided on this, fiona hill didn't want this but nick did. this touches on how high the bar is set for theresa may because they point out that, yes, on current polling, we should note that laboured does tend to have a good time to weeks before elections, that is a pattern we have seen before. they point out she is on course for a majority of 50. that sounds go

wonders why i'm up to number 166, how about seeing the coastline of my home state of rhode island whittled away into this chain of islands, this new rhode island archipelago. if this was your state, you'd be up here, too. we have a responsibility here in congress to all americans to face up to what is happening. this isn't just a rhode island circumstance. it's going to be louisiana. it's going to be north and south carolina. it's going to be massachusetts and maine and california. it's going to be the gulf coast. we are all going to have to face up to this. and help communities prepare. the carbon dioxide that we have already pumped into the atmosphere will make some of the sea level rise inevitable. it is baked in now and we just have to wait for it to happen. but we can still avoid these worst-case scenarios if we act appropriately, if we will for one minute say to the fossil fuel industry you've had enough, you have fed enough at this trough, you have silenced congress enough, your power and your greed will no longer prevail here. we are going to solve this problem for the people of ou

the that has been whittled away over the years. he said i'm looking temperature right now. there are some people who want to go back to the old system. the president full out promised things that he doesn't do. so when he says he's looking at something, i don't know how seriously we should take it. but for those who don't follow this, why is this important? >> what we've seen when it was repealed, banks got into a whole series of other areas where they had conflicts with their own consumers and you could argue that it led almost inexorably to the financial crisis that we had. as i've talked to experts in the field, putting this back together, going back would be extraordinarily difficult if not impossible. the interesting thing other than almost everything president trump says he'll do, it doesn't work out that way. this is kind of proposal that a bernie sanders would do. so bringing a right wing and left wing together, at least with rhetoric. the likeliness of making this a reality is close to zero. >> the dow is up a few points. if the markets were taking had seriously --

>> [scoffs] i have seen my employees whittle away at the integrity of la dogworks...by stupidity, byiness. by not--not coming to work. you hire people...and that's where your problem starts. the personalities, the laziness, the bad work ethic-- all these variables drive me crazy. how many times do i have to ask you to do something? how many times do i have to ask you? it's like the water torture-- boom, boom, boom. we're working together here, we're a team, we're a hierarchy. we're just like the dogs. who's the top dog, who's the alpha male? me. you gotta do what i say when i say it. i mean, if i could fire the entire staff and start from scratch, i would do that too. >> so who wrecked the van? >> well, neil. >> what do you do, just yell at him? >> i don't talk to neil, as a matter of fact. >> why? you don't like him? >> i hate him. he's a [bleep]. he's a--i'll give you $8.50 or $9 worth of work and not a [bleep] penny more and not any more effort. okay? that's neil. >> when he got bit by the dog and was bleeding, were you concerned about him or the dog? >> ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! o

. >> well it's all about shadow moon, played by ricky whittle, who's great actually, ricky. >> seth:, and he's -- but he's got the most difficult part. he's -- because everything is seen through his eyes. he's a convict. he's come out of prison two days early, 'cause he's heard his wife died. and he's on his way to the funeral, and so he comes across, on the airplane, he saw this character, mr. wednesday. well, he says, "what's today?" he says, "wednesday." so, "well, that'll do." today's my day. if you know your norse mythology, you'll know wednesday is wotan, wednesday, wotan, odin. the old norse god. >> seth: they all knew. they're very -- >> they all know that. they're all into norse mythology. [ laughter ] >> seth: this is a real norse room tonight. you can always tell. >> but it's -- you know, and it's -- that's who he is, but he's -- and they realize it -- he hires shadow as his bodyguard driver. and they go on this sort of road trip buddy movie for a while actually, for about, you know -- until he meets all these extraordinary characters, and realizes -- what is this? nothing

>> well, the selection process as he whittles down the list alex is going to be driven i'm told by aesire to pick a candidate who is independent of the president. you look at the list, the people who are rising to the top of it are not trump cronies, there's nobody on their white house official pointed out to me today, like a giuliani or chris christie, these are people who do not have much of a relationship with trump, barely know him at all if they even met him. the need is two fold, not just to restore some credibility here, but also to help improve morale at an entity that has really kind of suffered lately because of all of the upheaval. >> molly, we had eight candidates interviewed yesterday, and association of fbi agents is endorsing mike rogers. who do you think is the front-runner? >> mike rogers is definitely -- i think he would do well in the senate. keep in mind, first must get senate confirmation and this is not one of the fights that you want to be partisan. mike rogers was criticized by some republicans when he was house intel chair for not going after the benghazi inv

million different distinct municipal depressions and through dozens of court decisions that just whittle away at it, including recent ones like parents involved which make it it almost impossible to create a desegregation scheme through a school district, through abonment of fair housing legislation often. like the enforcement of it. so, what facilitates all this is it's like, okay, we have people living near each other. we have given up on the project of desegregation so in its place we'll put in the project of corralling and controlling. and a big thing i've come to believe in writing this book is that it's actually a priority to revive and resuscitate desegregation, explicitly in those terms as a social project. >> host: because we are so divided and separate, it seems like the fear of the unknown and white fear played out in the most recent election and it was exploited in the rhetoric but also in who set up the polls and why and what -- make america great again. i wonder now the cob text of the trump administration -- clearly you are kind of -- working on this book, i imagine, well

but it had been whittled away for a long time. there are a lot of people who say that, in 2008, when the financial crisis came, it wouldn't have been as dangerous if a lot of these banks that held people's deposits were not able to make risky investments with them. so what donald trump is talking about is going back to this idea that banks have different roles, that they -- those who want to invest, make riskier investments can't take customer deposits. a lot of people actually think this is a good idea. i would say, donald trump didn't say it with a great deal of conviction, suggesting this is actually going to happen. he often makes promises with a great deal of conviction and those things don't happen anyway. given that he sort of said we'll take a look at it, the stock market reaction to his comments suggests nobody thinks it will actually happen. >> meantime, he talked about maybe a gas tax, a raising of the gas tax, which we haven't seen since 1993. after he met with some truckers. what are the pros and cons of this? >> the

what happened is this got whittled down over the years until 1999 when it got completely eliminated andverybody could do everything. so the danger was, once we got the recession around 2007, banks were doing all sorts of other things to make money. trading, doing risky things, with money that was deposited and when we got to the financial crisis, when the banks -- when we found out the banks were doing weird things the bottom line it was your money they were doing it with. >> they could go to the fdic window and get free money, trading derivatives. >> too big to fail. it's okay if the bank was trading its money and failed but it was trading your money. >> ali, let's get real. president trump throws this out there, and he's not the only one, gary cohn mentioned it before, too, but the likelihood we're going to see this happen, given the magnitude of things on president trump's plate, this ain't going to happen. >> given the mnuchin and gary cohn is his advisors and goldman has a seat at the table -- >> a wink to bernie sanders' supporters. i'm still with you. >> when the president says f
