that is a well-respected office that does project prior tie zation for projects written. law, national, and regional significance so it can't be replace a guardrail it will has to be something like the bridge replacement in my neck of the woods, and they provide low-cost loans. so, and i have to say, i want to give a shout out to secretary anthony fox who i think quietly in the last years of the second term of the obama administration did a lot within usdot to bring together these different groups that are facilitating public/private partnerships, facilitating credit support for economically beneficial projects of national and regional significance. and i won't go -- i won't go into the gory details of what's happening at usdot, but i think a lot of us say if you're going to create a national infrastructure bank, try to work with what we already have. because we already have a very good team within usdot and we should work withtive feeya, we should work with knees on other groups, office the innovative program delivery, doing a very good job with that u.n. under one umbre

urban ny zation is something that's pretty new here and we're also aware that this is a normal transransition for goop population, being exposed to new environments, the new fast food and we have produce in the world today because of the technology of producing food so fast, so efficient producing a lot of salty, cheap food. >> in a typical tong began scene, men are harvesting yams. they are members of a church family outing who have gathered for a picnic. tongans love to seed and nothing embodies its culture like sharing food. it is said that poll tunisians have a special fat gene that helps them master the vast pacific ocean. in tonga, size truly matters. size equals prestige, wealth, and status. so it's little surprise to learn that eight of the world's top ten most obese countries are in polla northeasterna. >> we eat the chicken. >> why are you using corn beef. >> because you got to eat. >> yeah. do you like corn beef? >> no. i like chic. >> you like fish? >> no. >> why do you not like fish? >> because i don't like it. i don't ♪ >> faced with a tsunami of obesity, tonga is now f

number three, how well is their mon etty zation going? what snap chat is going to do is the most important thing to look out for. >> jason, i wonder how important user growth is. they say they have it. they don't want to follow the facebook model of becoming ubiquitous. what are the metrics they are going to try to emphasize here? >> obviously, what makes snap chat super unique is that it has got a more private feel. that's why young people are very much drawn to the service. while those same young people might have facebook accounts and they might check out facebook, even daily, they are not going to share their coachella videos or what they did on those public open services. you really have a hard time understanding this company unless you are a young person who is out and about, living their lives and single. people with kids who are watching or parents, they just don't understand why this is such an important service, because it is so opaque. i think snap chat is the anti-facebook in a way. facebook wants to have every single person o

this is the most utomorrowian idea of my bok, but i think it's important to remember that every six zationslavery, equal rights for men and women, if we won't progress were we need to think in those utopiian terms. that said are i completely a degree with this, this is a radical idea. but there's a mountain of evidence that shows that immigration is by far the most powerful weapon we've got in the fight against global positive vert at this time. and that so many of the objectives that we often have against it, these are lays decide people they'll take our jobs, they're all tear riftsds or whatever it's not true. so what i think is very important is that we have more politicians and opinion leaders that actually have the courage to talk about immigration in a much more uplifting way. and especially in the saudi arabia, this is a country that was found, you know, on the strength of imgrants. >> but the benefit of open borders, the value of it is what? what do we get from it? >> well, according to the economist estimates, it would double gdp worldwide basically. so, i mean, nowadays we're liv

and what i've later come to realize it's actually a hyper an lie zation of reality and realtime.e overanalyzing every moment that you per seaver in realtime, which sounds kind of wild. but this exists. and i didn't know la it was. so i thought i had like a disease or there was something going on with my brain or i was dying. and i didn't realize that it was anxiety. and this term, like driving -- like oh you're driving me crazy say real thing. like i auld most drive myself to the brink of insan knit if i and i didn't even know why. why am i doing meet and greets where i'm meeting a hundred people every day three hours before a show and then a sound check and then i'm performing for two lourz a night and then my off day isn't really an off day it's traveling on a bus for 18 thundershowers u hours and just over and over and over. last year nine straight months on the road away from my wife and dogs and home. so i say all of this to say i didn't understand what it was and i had the craziest anxiety it was ruling mefr day. and i was having these dark thoughts about death, not killing

we've talked about token zation here. tultly this is a shared service and how do we immeant a shared service at opm when it comes to an identifier across all the federal government sfl that's a great question. i'm not sure the exact answer because what you're talking about is through the token and the bit chain type technology and so forth. that's one that i think we need to work with industry closer on and bring that to the federal government side of the house because it's not the same thing as it is on the industry side of the house. i'm desperately trying to reach out there for it. we're still stymied about how you bring that technology in and infuse it in high pressure system it's our application systems it's not our hardware systems it's the applications that are riding in and changing those. >> in the last 30 seconds oftime my time you referenced i.t. from being a barrier if the who do we need to do to prevent that from being a barrier? >> that's one of the problems with legacy system, they may not be able to handle

gnchts evening once again from our headquarters here in new york this was day 120 of the trump zation and if the russia investigation was ever just a distraction or a subplot, as of tonight it defines and has consumed this presidency thus far. which, by the way, is aloft at this hour. air force one is about four hours out from landing in the neighborhood of 3:00 a.m. eastern time in riyad saudi arabia. two big stories came out that dominate our coverage tonight, the new york times has been shown a transcript of the notes on the president's oval office meeting with the two visiting russians, the two saygys, lavrov and kislyak. the president is quoted as saying to them about james comey in the oval office, i just fired the head of the fbi, he was crazy, a real nut job. mr. trump said according to a white house document which was read to the new york times by an american official, i face great pressure because of russia, that's taken off. mr. trump added, i'm not under investigation. the white house has not denied this report. the second story was from the washington post quoting from th

this would include increasing cyber manpower, enhancing the professional zation of the cyber workforce, building defensive and offensive capability and kpapt, and developing and streamlining our acquisition processes. these are critical enablers for cyber space and a globally changing environment and most or all of these particulars have been directed in recent nda acts along with the office of secretary of defense for policy and the joint staff we'll talk with you and your staffs to hiern out the plaem mendation details of that legislation. the men and women of cyber command are proud of the rolls roelds that we play in our efforts and are motivated to accomplish our assigned missions overseen by the congress, particularly this subcommittee with the we work to secure and defend dod systems and networks, counter adversaries and support national and joint war fighting object difz in and through cyber 1rst century threats together in the private and public sectors. this combined with agile olicies decisionmaking processes capabilities command and control processes will ensure that cyber

who understands this issue and will be sure that with regard to their dumping or their subsa die zation which is also going on, that they understand that we're not going to put up with it anymore, there's an absolute necessity to have trade that is level. and, as you said i have negotiated with them in the past on trade. this is one of their responsibilities as a member of the wto and responsible mature trading partner now obviously. so any thoughts quickly on steel and the dumping of steel and your commitment to press on that issue? >> back in 1993, i helped to track a steel company to iowa called ipsco steel from canada and they've been sold to ssab. and i've been working with ssab, i've been active among the governors on pressing for action on dealing with the dumping issue and the unfair competition in steel. so this is a critical issue, one that i'm familiar with because we've got a company ssab in iowa between davenport and muss ka teen that has been negative affected by this. so i want to do everything i can to make sure that we stop the unfair and illegal activities that we've s

biomedical research and discovery, however, weak ip protection dollars and a growing array of location zations abroad are threatening innovative medical exports in the many jobs they support here in home. china in particular is a serious offender, beijing has not lived up to the intellectual property commitments it made to the u.s. and others through the world trade organization. if confirmed in order to protect america's innovation and jobs, what will you do to push the chinese to respect ip connections including in the area of ip research? >> the point you raise is very critical and we've had some experience with that with regard to plant breeding and we actually even had chinese that were stealing knowledge from american companies and i think a few years ago we saw criminal prosecution of that, and it occurred in my state. what i recognize, especially because of our world leadership in medical technology, that say critical area. but i've heard from many other manufacturers and other businesses about the stealing offen ta electual property. and this is something that, you know, that's why we
