susan jumps to the front. when did that come want to introduce you to my dear compatriot, susan collins. susan: today is a day to celebrate, because we have shown that a determined group of senators working together across the aisle can result in positive action. in this case, the reopening of government. government shutdown represents the ultimate failure to govern. it causes real hardship, not only for our military, for those brave men and women who are wearing the uniform of our country, but for all those who depend on government programs, and those who work at administering these programs. last time we had a government shutdown in 2013, at cost our economy -- it cost our economy 1.5 million dollars per day. even more profound is the harm that it does to public confidence in government, and our ability to be leaders of this country. joe and i worked very hard in leading the efforts of the common sense coalition in 2013 to reopen government. we talked about reconvening our group, which we did last week after

susan: we have just three minutes left. darren: people do not necessarily know who tom steyer is outside of california. they have certainly seen a lot of commercials you have run, but your name recognition has increased. you're being recognized as you make your way through public spaces nowadays. president trump attacked you on twitter. talk about your own name recognition increasing with the underlying question which is if you're running for president in 2020. that combination of those things and if you see your name recognition increasing. tom: let me say this. i'm one of the luckiest guys around. i'm lucky because i was born in the united states. i was born to a family that really took care of me. i got a great education. i'm a white male in a society are lots of people have been discriminated against in some way, shape or form not being that. i recognize how much luck i have. i also recognize this system is the product of literally hundreds of years of people sacrificing. and sacrificing in the most profound ways. i loo

susan: one minute left. michelle: i heard you just say that you are not sure whether chairman alexander will be able to write his own bill this year. what you think the chances are that you will successfully reauthorize the higher education act this year? rep. foxx: i am very optimistic. i really am. as i talked to members of the house, i feel very positive. every day, i have employers coming into my office saying we do not have the skilled workforce we need. every member of congress is getting that same message. i have asked. what the public needs to do to the congress is what it needs to do with its own educational institutions, demand changes that will give to them the skilled workforce that they need. do you know what is going to happen? if we don't do it, and secondary education doesn't do it, they will do it themselves. they will create programs within the workforce where they will produce the skilled workers they need. my message to higher education is you better pay attention to said.s being my messa

so adam then susan and you. and then susan, you may do with anything is that you have heard here but particularly, your report in this and observing this. party think nocturia situation is likely to unfold from what you are seeing? because, on the one hand it could fit into this book. which is -- in many cases, -- >> i declare that in the book. >> good. i also assumed there was a good military solution for north korea. i'm starting to hear from people who are investigating this and examining whether it is true. ... you mentioned numbers and we think how many people we were capable of killing was a measure of our potency. the little number that occurred with very little reported estimates of the damage to the civilians killed in the isis bombing campaigns between five and 6,000. double what was killed on 911. this is a lot of people have been killed that don't bother us we need to pay attention to those numbers. in north korea i just head and that's what you might know. he has this book coming out he is alarmed a

alwaysto thank susan for being here. thetarted in 2013 with first shutdown and we were so frustrated and we just want to get some like-minded people together and that is how we started pushing the leadership into a bipartisan bill. it is very natural for this common sense coalition to do it again. andn jumped to the front away we went. i want to introduce you to susan. >> today is a day to celebrate because we have shown that a determined group of senators working together across the aisle can result in positive action. in this case, the reopening of government. when the government shuts down, it represents a failure to hardshipd causes real for the military and for the great men and women who wear the uniform of our country and all of those who depend on government programs and those who work to administer the programs. when we had a government shutdown in 2013, it costs the economy 1.5 billion dollars a day. that is how harmful a shutdown is and even more profound is the harm it does to public confidence in government

susan may be correct -- there's a theme here. susan may be correct that bls waiting biases upward productivity growth but a full accounting of its total effect on manufacturing would require conducting some of the same analysis for noncomputer inputs. that was the point i attempted to make about earlier criticism of the bls. manufacturing goods are increasingly platforms for computing capacity that alter the value consumers receive from the product. that value likely exceeds the value of the products produced separately. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you very much, larry. dr. dr. ball in absentia. before we go to the audience i'd like to gift panelists a chance to go back and forthwith each other. a couple of issues had been raised here and one of them until particular for sue is whether it's arbitrary to exclude computers from the manufacturing output and what -- why it is that we make that choice and what that tells us. and invite carolyn also to respond. thanks. >> sure. well, first i want to make really clear -- >> i think

democrats and republicans convened with susan collins. what struck me, he spoke and susan collins spoke on the focus of leadershi and t need for leadership. senator lindsey graham saying somedy's got to lead. the white house has been unreliable. it seems like that's where this transition takes place. here's senator lindsey graham speaking a moment ago about the evolution of the proposal mitch mcconnell made well past midnight after we started a government shutdown. he said there's a commitment to include immigration in discussions. in that speech, the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said he wants to move to february the 8th, it had been set to the 16th. lindsey graham since then said that is something he could support. he talked a bit about the evolution in thinking about immigration in particular among members of the republican party, talked about steven miller, the domestic policy adviser to the white house, saying, "his view of immigration has never been in the mainstream of the senate." again, lindsey graham expressing optimism

i would just amplify susan. when you think about our great generals -- colin powell and whether you agree with dave petraeus or not, but people who have really served -- they feel the same way. so this is part, if you've known war, then you know that there's a better alternative, and this is part of the military institution. and that is a great strength. i will not get into a debate. you make a good point about september 11th, who started it. but i will say this: what was our objective in afghanistan on september 12th? we did not have one. if osama bin laden had been tilled in tora bora -- killed in tora bora in november as he should have been be it had not been because of the incompetence of a certain general who i will not name, it would have been over. there was a brigadier by the name of jim mattis, you may have heard that name, with a then-navy captain seal named steve harwood. no, bob harwood, who had a plan based on how geronimo was run down by the army in 1867 in the sierra madre to capture bin laden. th

susan: well, that's a very resonant one. let's talk about the causes and who are these people. -- you talkedt about how quickly it spread to different cities. one of the things that commentators remarked on it does not appear to be the traditional upper middle class, big city type protests. it's almost like the iranian version of trump country, those who perhaps supported former president ahmadinejad. they are more than working class, lower middle class, smaller cities across the country. even protests in some of the more religious cities. what do you make of the geographic mac -- geographic map of these protests? suzanne: is one of the most interesting features of what is happening. so many people who know iran didn't know anyone a part of these pro tests. it's worth noting, the numbers are different this time around from 2009, when the government talked about 40,000 hooligans that's their upper estimate of how many people have been participating in these protests. even if it's off by a factor of 10, it's still significantl

you know what susan collins reminds me of? the power rainers. they spend the whole episode getting their ass kicked and then become the giant robot. just be the robot from the beginning! oh, there's a bad guy! boom! let's go home! don't bring out the talking stick at the end! ( laughter ) which by the way, guys, i don't know what she's talking about but we don't use talking sticks in africa. i feel like susan collins got bamboozled by some guy on the street, take this stick from our ancestors for $500, huh? we use microphones, all right? we haven't used talking sticks since, like, 2007. ( laughter ) the point is the government reopened and as soon as it did, everyone just wanted to know one thing -- >> winners an losers from the shutdown showdown. >> we'll look at the winners and losers from the government showdown. >> who came out on top, bottom and sideways? >> we know there are substantive winners here. >> right. >> they walked outthe winner not the loser. >> winners, mitch mcconnell, lindsey graham, 2018 democrats. >> i think the big loser t

i would amplify susan. when you think about our great generals, colin powell, 20 agree with david petraeus are not the people of really served, they feel the same way. so this is part, ev of known war and you know there's a better alternative. this is part of the military institution, and that is a great strength. i will not get into a debate. he make a good point about september 11, who started it. but i will say this, what was our objective and afghanistan on september 12? we did not have one. if osama bin laden had been killed in tora bora in november as he should've been were it not for the incompetence of a certain general who i will not name, i managed to lose two wars, it would have been over. if you want to have good fun in about it was averted by the name of jim mattis, you may have heard that name perfectly, or the been davie county steel named steve harwood, no, bob harwood, who had a plan based on how geronimo was run down by the arm in agency 27 in the sierra madre to capture bin laden. the fin

and jim and susan kind of worked on the marketing. >> but by 1980, things took a turn for the worse. bill clinton lost his re-election bid, and jim mcdougal quit politics. >> mcdougal and several others bought a bank over in west arkansas. and they loaned money to help the whitewater development. they made one loan in the amount of $30,000 in the name of hillary clinton. >> the loan was for hillary to build a model home on the property. three decades later, the house still sits on what is now a quiet, tree-lined street. >> it would just be a home for folks to come look at. >> but whitewater began to struggle. some blamed its remote location. >> if you didn't have a pretty rugged old pickup or something like that, you just almost couldn't even get in there. >> at the same time, interest rates were skyrocketing. >> whitewater failed because jimmy carter was elected president, and interest rates went through the roof. >> so, for a long period of time, we did not sell a lot of the tracts. >> with no cash in hand and mortgages due, jim mcdougal dipped into his own pocket to pay off loans.

jim and susan mcdougal, bill and hillary clinton. >> bill clinton is an arkansas boy from hot springs, and runs for attorney general of arka is elected. >> j mcdougal was a longtime democratic party operative. >> he had been involved in politics, a college professor. >> smooth-talking, good old southern boy. smart as a whip. >> he considered himself somewhat of an entrepreneur, he would buy land and develop it and sell it. >> i met him at washtabba university, and i locked myself out, and i went over to his office and i said does your key fit this? and he kicked the door down, and i should have known then. i should have said, who does that? >> jim did. that was the kind of man he was. a southern gentleman with a little edge. >> jim was bigger than life, a few days we got married after i graduated college. >> these two characters, jim and susan mcdougal were straight out of central casting. >> jim got a job working for william fullbright, he hired a man named bill clinton. >> he loved him, not long after i met jim. up roars this convertible, bill clinton came out and told a story being

. >> joining us is susan kennedy. susan, let's begin with the stark contrast between what ty cobb said and what the president said a few days earlier. is this the a dance over what the president will do and won't do in a potential interview with mueller? >> we've seen the president shift his story over time, they're happy to cooperate and then taking steps to limit the testimony. it's really hard to imagine that the president is genuinely eager to sit down with special counsel. who is eager to sit down with federal investigators to answer sensitive questions. at the same time even ty cobb expressed nervousness. he said, i hope this isn't a interview with mueller.f the there's a l ovidef ee there that they're willing to talk to special counsel mueller, but feeling pretty nervous about it. >> also interesting from ty cobb, he says he thinks the whole thing will be wrapped up in four to six years. timeline keeps changing. before it was thanksgiving, then christmas. now four to six weeks. another key data point in the las

>> let me just say every meeting we were in, in susan's office and meetings susan and i had separately, was always an optimistic meeting. we always knew that there was a pathway forward and it was a reasonable pathway forward. most importantly should we ever have shut the government down? absolutely not. other people felt differently. the bottom line was not to keep it shut down. it should never be shut down past this past weekend. we knew that. so we were all moving in a very positive movement towards that. but leadership was still in the jousting -- back and forth. i'm only going to say this. the rules of the senate have to change. i'm speaking for myself not our bipartisan group. i don't believe that either leader on either side should have the powers that they have. that's me speaking to two people whether it be mitch or chuck, whoever is in the majority and the minority, should be in position with that much power to set an agenda or stop an agenda when you have a force as strong as ours moving in a direction. and i will tell you, they listened. and that's what moved it because we

i want to thank susan for always being there. we started this, her and i started in 2013 when the first shutdown happened. we're just so frustrated, her and i were always talking, can't we just get some like-minded people together? that's when we started to push our leadership in a bipartisan deal. it was natural for our commonsense coalition to do it again. of course, susan jumps to the front, an office opens up and away we go. with that i want to introduce you to my dear, dear compatriot, susan collins. >> thank you so much, joe. well, today is the day to celebrate because we have shown that a determined group of senators working together across the aisle can result in positive action. in this case the reopening of government. when government shuts down, it represents the ultimate failure to govern. it causes real hardship, not only for our military, for those brave men and women who are wearing the uniform of our country, but for all those who depend on government programs and those who work administering these programs. last

seated next to him is susan ferber come executive editor at oxford university press. she has focused much of her acting career on books about history from the ancient to the modern. among the books and authors she has shepherded our winner is that if you let there price is as well as "new york times" bestsellers. her chapter in a "what editors do" titled of monographs and magnum opus is is about editing works of scholarship. and speaking of university press, i should note that "what editors do" itself is published by one. the university of chicago. now also joining the discussion this evening in philly now the panel will be kill rock, founder of the literary agency and a friend of lissa in mind. people interested in getting a book published often ask how best to go about it. in general, the answer is to find an agent and said to who specializes in nonfiction is as good as they come and also to provide a little truth in advertising, gail is lissa's agent for a book lissa is currently writing. featuring men in welcoming our very accomplished panel.

susan: i will jump in because we are out of time. as we close here, the clock is ticking on this deadline for making decisions regarding the extension of the cr. handicap it for us. how likely is a deal and to avoid a government shutdown? rep. hoyer: well it is difficult , to handicap. frankly my position has been we have given three extensions. to simply keep kicking the can down the road does not seem to make any sense. we have to come to grips with decisions. we have to come to grips with compromises that will move us forward. we need to pass reauthorization of the child health insurance program. we should have done that prior to september 30 of last year. what we need to come to grips with, and my handicapping will be as to the willingness of republicans to make compromises. for instance on the caps, all we're asking for is exactly what they agreed to for the last four years. it seems to me it should not be difficult to do that. i am hopeful that we will be successful between now and next friday, and coming to an agreement on imp

. >> all right, you're listening to maine's susan collins there talking about how they are trying to work together. she says we're trying to be helpful and help get this process to move forward. ryan nobles was there asking the questions to lisa murkowski and susan collins among the ladies there. so ryan, there is some hope. however, susan collins says she doesn't want to get into the details of what they were talking about, but she said it is the institution of the senate who has to bring matters together, come up with some sort of measures in which to move forward on. so did it seem as though they were very hopeful about potentially coming up with something so that government can be up and running again very soon? >> you know, fred, i have to say having been tracking these senators for the last couple days, these are the most hopeful we've seen them, but as you saw with that conversation between senator collins and murkowski, even though they feel progress is being made, they don't have a deal yet. they still feel more negotiations need to take place, they still need to talk to the

what happens to the blacksmiths, susan? what happens to the truck drivers? there's going to be anger, especially political anger. >> we have to recognize that we do live in this time where there is really dramatic change from technology stand point and innovations that we have but that doesn't mean that those innovations are going to stop. and you talk about the blacksmiths. should we not have trains? trains have enabled a lot of different advances if you look back in our history. there is this theme that technology is going to continue and going to continue to move forward. you need to move forward with the technology responsibly and that means partnership between private companies and governments to be able to make sure that the blacksmiths as you call them or any group who's job winds up changing has the right support system to be able to retrain, to be able to find what are the next set of jobs. we have seen that our job economy keeps changing. we actually and we'll talk about this more, we actually recently committed, google committed a billion dollars

thank you very much. >> thank you. >> susan solomon again. i will just add a couple of things to what president blank said. jen steiner gave us the information about how terrific the retention rate is for teachers is. i think moving forward with the different models, need to look at the numbers as well to see if we can duplicate and replicate those successes. there's more intensive support than in the other pathways. there is summertime kind of boot camp and then teachers are put right into the classroom. we know they're working with many of our students that have the most need and challenges. so making sure that they have as teachers the support they need to support those students. it's extremely important. and i do want to say how much -- how important it is that para educators are being brought into the programs. but to really ramp it up is so important because they know our students well and introduces racial and ethnic diversity, which has been a challenge, we know. as president blank said, continuing dialogue is important. we want to be

open up the nbc washin susan? >> the pedestrian was struck on crane highway at chad 4 drive in brandywine. video from the scene showed a transit police officer getting out of his canine unit and then checking on the victim. we are still working to find out how it happened and who the victim actually is. >> a lot of families are starting off the new year looking for a place to live after fires chased them out of their homes. >> that's right. one man, though, did not make it out in time. these are just a few of the fires that kept crews busy overnight. in d.c., flames raced through an apartment building in southeast. about 14 people are homeless now. a firefighter fell through a staircase, but is expected to recover. >> in montgomery county, fire crews battled a dozen fires in freezing conditions over a 24-hour period. many of the fires are the result of people trying to stay warm. in one case, fire officials say that someone didn't properly remove ashes out of a fireplace and those ashes rekindled and then burned t

few really believe that him no one followed up with that, susan. go on. >> look, it's a rare moment of honesty in which she is saying, look, we are concerned about we are not firing robert mueller because we are worried about the press response. they recognize the ultimate mechanism the thing constraining them from dismissing mueller and trying to ends this investigation is the question of political accountably. early on we saw lots of members of congress talk about the firing of robert mueller as being a red line him potential they position has softened. we seen efforts to delegit might or undermine that investigation. so i do think that the white house is acknowledging something they're not wrong about is ultimately their calculation of what they can get away with in terms of fearing mueller comes down to public opinion. >> here's another.you hear from the white house, a spokesperson, not all of this has come out of the mueller investigation. just a me my opinion were, look at the facts. the president's former campaign chairman paul manafort indi

susan, i've already seen the pre-sales of this book. i'm trying to figure out tactically here, we know trump has this history of threatening lawsuits, often not following through on them. this is only going to goose book -- you could print that letter on the back of the book and probably sell 100 million copies. is there any tactical reason for these threats? >> it's like the world's best blurb. in the idea that a president has standing to preempt publication, that is at odds with our constitution and experience. i would bet that there's no lawsuit following this letening letter. in fact, it's perplexing why they sent the letter. the books were already published. the idea this could stop publication, this is the greatest gift the president could have given to mr. wolf. trump spent much of the day raging about the book to top aids as he fumed. some were frantically searching for a copy of the book. someone with knowledge of the president's comment told the post, he's out of control. today a number of allies defended the president and att

we saw 22 different senators, both republican and democrat emerge from a high stakes me meeting in susan collins' office from maine, and they emerged from that meeting hopeful. they believe they found some agreement in key areas and they essentially were going to go back to their leaders, tell them about the progress they made, and come back and meet more this afternoon. what's happening right now is they are in the offices of their leaders, telling them what they talked about, talking about the progress that they have made, and then finding out whether or not they can get buy-in from their leaders to get a proposal to the floor. we don't know what the outcomes are left. we know some of the democrats left the meeting with senate minority leader, chuck schumer and the senate is still huddling. this is an important stage in the negotiations, fred, because if they can get buy-in from leadership, then it will go to the rest of the senate. the 78 members that have not been involved in these conversations and see if they are willing to vote for something, so a little bit of progress right now.

from the east bay, april rovero, who lost her son joey, and from marin county, susan kim. you lost your son trey in april. i want to start with you. we've worked together for several years now, been on a couple of panels together. and i want folks to know about joey. what was he like, and what happened to him? >> hmm, well, joey was a senior at arizona state university when we got the -- the horrible news that he had passed away in his bedroom overnight after a college party. he'd been out with friends the night before, and they'd gone to the nightclubs in the area to celebrate a birthday and an early graduation for a friend. came back to his apartment, and he basically just went to sleep and didn't wake up. i would describe joey as pretty much the all-american kid. he loved sports. while he was -- i think he started four -- like 4 years old all the way through high school, he was playing virtually every sport you could imagine. his special love was football, and he played football the last four years of his high school time, but...he was just a really fun guy to be around

a young man of the nomad family from southwestern iran he was attracted to susan. he liked her courage and strength. when he asked her to marry her she had one condition that he not interfere with her sporting activities such as accepted. her about welsh or susan was first inspired to do kickboxing as a child when she saw bruce lee movies. she wanted to be like a martial arts hero and she began secretly practicing her moves at night but now her husband sajad helps her train never because. of all the video shows brought on board it. was working. for us plus. plus plus charlie rose crossed. fuzzily although the mechanical side of oh no we women need places to train i have never seen such strong minded women as here in iran iranian women are really strong . able to achieve what they want on their own under difficult conditions. we simply need more opportunities so that we can practice and train at a location that is safe and secure i mean yeah they're supposed to check. off. all. susan solve the location problem but opening her own kickboxing school in the nearby city
