for bob, you wouldn't want to be bob, would you? —— poor bob. and finally to one of the ultimate underdog stories. last night in belfast, northern ireland women made history by reaching a major finals in football for the first time. they beat ukraine to secure their place at the euros next summer. they were ranked 26 places below their opponents, most of their players are part time and they had struggled with a big injury list. i spoke to their captain marissa callaghan about what made this team so special. we have a group of girls who were so talented. but itjust didn't click with us because we didn't have that belief in ourselves. he's come in and managed us superbly, and he's just installed this belief and trust, and this family —like atmosphere. it's almost like we're atmosphere. it's almost like we're at war and we would die for each other on that pitch, you know, if there's a mistake made, someone can fix it for you. there's a mistake made, someone can fix it for you-— fix it for you. this team was reformed — fix it for you. this tea

bob poole and randall o'toole. i am going to give a brief overview of what is in president biden's infrastructure plan, and then we are going to hear from bob and randall. you can send us text questions that we will address after our panelists have spoken. there should be a text box on your screen. you can also tweet questions to us with the hashtag #catoecon. infrastructure is a hot issue. president biden has announced a $2.3 trillion for stretcher plan and congress is considering their options. we can break the nation's infrastructure into three different piles. the first pile is federal infrastructure, such as amtrak, for example. the second pile is state and local infrastructure such as highways and pools and transit systems. the third pile is private infrastructure. everything from broadband to electric utilities to trains and railroads. the reason there is no definition of infrastructure, about 65% of the nation's infrastructure is owned by the private sector, about 30% is owned by state and local governments

with that, i'm going to hand it over to bob to take away. bob: thank you, chris. i will get my powerpoint up here. ok. there we go. ok. there we go. thanks very much. sorry for the delay in getting started. i think the overall philosophy that underlies the biden plan is troubling. it ignores the user pay, user benefit principle, which is the foundation of what we call the user taxes that originated in oregon in between 19. it ignores the role of potential private capital to leverage whatever money government would invest. it ignores sound principles of federalism, in terms of which level of government should do which function. on highways, the 115 billion over eight years sounds like a lot, but the way it appears to be divided up is kind of disappointing. it ignores the need to spend an estimate of $1 trillion over 20 years to rebuild the interstate highway system. there is no mention of the interstates which is the most , important infrastructure in surface transportation. hugely disproportionate increase in transit funding compared to roads and bridges even thou

now a question for bob. you raised the issue in broadband funding, the difference between biden's proposed broadband funding in rural areas and the current funding provided by the fcc. can you go into a little more detail describing the current fcc funding for broadband? chris: i am not an expert on the details, but i know they hold periodic competitive auctions, and it is based on the lowest cost to provide the service. in one of the recent auctions, spacex, which is launching its starling program to bring high-speed internet to rural areas, including underdeveloped countries, they won a big chunk of the last auction, and that strikes me as probably the most cost-effective way rather than trying to lay fiber in rural areas. that is a recipe for expending tons of money and not having very much bang for buck, whereas the space-based satellite broadband will be the way of the future. if they can afford to charge people in developing countries where there is no landlines o fiber, and they can afford to pay, cer

so did bob dole. and secondly, you get into the middle of these issues and realize how complex it is -- the trade-offs, the effect on the economy, the fairness of the revenue burdens, all those things coming on top of you -- come in on top of you. and partly, you get a sobered sense on the available room for maneuver. that changes the way you look at things a little bit. secondly, secondly, i think you're sobered about the complexity of it and you're less breezy than you have been about things before. >> what kind of chairman was russell wong? walter: brilliant. i knew the -- knew the senate, the laws, clever. i mean, he knew how to handle tax laws. he only called them up the day before christmas or something like that. he would never give you an extended period to work on his bill. funny man. so funny. >> did he talk about his dad? >> yeah. talked about his dad. talked about uncle earl mostly. he would say don't tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree. >> being chairman of the finance committee, what

and bob grew. i was there when he arrived, and he had been in the house, and i think he brought a lot of the house idea, our team versus your team, into the senate chamber. i remember a painful afternoon, when he was on his feet regaling his senate colleagues for not voting as a unit on some political issue. and he was but rating them in front of the press about who did they think they are, are they republicans and so on. and i heard a lot out of negative comments about that, and i think he spent some time living that down. >> he was also chairman of the rnc at, at the same time. walter: but i could see him change, and he got over that stuff. i think partly because of experience with nixon, he probably found those years of the rnc, in the end, very dispiriting. and he found the senate a better place for his life and what he believed in, then some of the other politics that used to be so important to them. >> he also had a near-death experience and 74. walter: yes, we used to do a lot . humphrey and

first, bob, director of transportation policy is a foundation, bob is one of the nation's most prolific writers on transportation over many years and an expert on highways and airportsn and air traffic control systems. i highly recommend his 2018 book, rethinking america'sys highways. bob scott degrees in mechanical engineering, to his credit, he's in an economist on infrastructure which is a good thing. randall is cato senior fellow specializing in transportation, land use andnd environmental issues and written six books. most recently, romance of the rails, why the passenger trains we love are not the transportation we need. randall loves railroads but finds compelling evidence thatov government subsidies for rail, amtrak or subways or light rail is very unproductive and not efficient so with that, take it away. >> thank you, i'll get my powerpoint appear. >> sorry for the delay in getting started. i think the overall underlying plan is troubling transportatioe as part of it. it ignores the principal, the foundation of the user tax that originated with oregon in 1919 for a very wise p

bob had investigated the klan successfully bob eddy saw the 16th street church bombing in birmingham. >> the klan felt that they were either protected or purely invincible. their influence in sympathizers were embedded throughout government, throughout law enforcement in both the city and the state level. >> in spite of the fact that four innocent negro girls were brutally murdered in a church in birmingham, alabama, not a single arrest has been made. >> six years after the bombing, i was elected attorney general of alabama. that meant i had the real position where i could do something about it. so i got a terrific investigator named bob eddy. one great witness bob eddy found was sham bliss' niece. she testified two or three days before the bomb went off, robert was ranting and raving about the blacks and the demonstrations. and he said, you just wait till sunday. they'll beg us to segregate. somebody said, what do you mean? he said, you'll find out. you'll find out. and so that was pretty powerful. that made an impact on the jury. >> so backly and bob eddy in a new light put the piec

that man's name is bob kent. and he tells a very different story about his dealings with the gaetz family and about how serious the allegations are against the representative. that's coming up. and you will want to hear what he says. first, we already heard and saw something shocking today. it happened in the george floyd murder trial. the accused, former officer derek chauvin's own former boss, the minneapolis police chief, the man who fired chauvin and three other officers the day after floyd's death, actually took the stand and called their actions completely wrong and illegal. in a moment that i have never seen by another top cop in a trial, he refused to give chauvin any cover for the 9 1/2 minutes floyd laid dying underneath his knee. the chief testified chauvin absolutely, that's his word, violated the department's neck restraint policy, and he called what we have all seen on that tape murder. >> once there was no longer any resistance, and clearly, when mr. floyd was no longer responsive, and even motionl

bob: i absolutely can. in their shareholder note, they noted the production delays caused by covid throughout most of last year have obviously delayed what they are able to show now. it takes a long time to film and produce and put these things together. they expect the second half of 2021 to have a significant boost of content. that is what they are pinning their hopes for future growth on. you saw a dramatic pull in for subscriber growth. the bump was enormous. you can't sustain that. the question was, when will that slow down and how dramatically? now we have the answer. pretty quickly and by pretty much. but on the good side, the revenue numbers were higher, the revenue per subscriber was higher, so that gets to the long-term view of the business. not necessarily great for the short-term growth story. haidi: geographically, when you look at the region, where are you seeing areas of concern and where are you still seeing growth opportunities? bob: it still seems like they have plenty of growth opportunit

bob: we are developing for different technologies. our hybrid technology, which has been on the market for 20 years, represents about 25% of her sales. we have plug-in hybrids which, quite frankly for many consumers, is a better utilization for them and their families then full electric. we have fuel cells in california and the bz full electric which will be out in 2022. our approach is this -- one technology is not necessarily the best technology for all consumers. a consumer in california versus one midwest versus one on the east coast has different needs depending on the charging infrastructure. our strategy is to offer a portfolio of technology and let the consumer decide which one is best for them. matt: how do you respond to the most recent tragic tesla accident that appears to have involved self driving technology if i can use that term loosely -- that also resulted in continuous fires that were varied difficult to extinguish. how do you deal with these two issues? bob: i don't know enough detail about the tragedy that took pla

joining us is bob parker. bob, very good to speak to you. nice to have you on the program. what are you seeing in the earnings story, big picture take away from the earnings story so far? bob: well, i think let's start with the states. all the numbers we have had so far is from the corporate earnings announcements, have exceeded estimates. and they've exceeded estimates by a very large margin. originally, we had this conversation to or three months ago. the consensus was s&p earnings would be up about 25%, perhaps slightly under that year on year. it looks as if earnings will be up over 30%. so, the steady improvement in u.s. earnings below, amongst that -- we've had very good results from the banks. we look at u.s. banks year on year, over 120%, and likewise, consumer cyclicals, very strong gains indeed. on the tech side, very much in focus this week, the earnings numbers year on year are probably going to be 25%. that's not a bad number considering that it's against a very high base. the earnings momentum in tech probably will moderate as the year progresses. i'm assuming

what's happening right now, bob? bob: thanks for the opportunity to catch up. i do think this is a consolidation. when you take a step back and consider what's happened in the last six months, i think it is really important to keep in mind that we haven't seen a policy prescription in the domestic economy like we are witnessing today in over 40 years. you really have to go to the post-world war ii period to see significant fiscal policy cooperation in a noncrisis period. our argument, as your question -- to answer your question directly, i think this is a pause and i think rates go higher over the balance of the year for a variety of reasons, but primarily for the same reasons that have brought us to these levels from 100 basis lowers in 10 year notes six months ago. that is a function of substantially better nominal gdp growth, significantly greater net issuance of treasuries, and a dual policy impulse right now that is frankly disproportionately large relative to the actual economic cost that covid created. we are likely going to get more fiscal policy with t
