Transcripts For MSNBCW MSNBC Live With Velshi And Ruhle 20190918

Facility President Trump addressing the homeless crisis not in a way you think he will. We are live in san diego as he makes a controversial call to get them off the streets President Trump confirmed on twitter that his administration is revoking california the state previously been allowed to set stricter emissions standards for vehicles than the federal government has. Now thats in jeopardy joining us now is anne thompson. Forever people have talked about california standards and buying a car and other places for decades had to have things in change to do that. Why is this happening now and what does it mean . It is happening for two reasons, the president did not like what the Obama Administration did you have to remember it is fuel economy standards when car makers were in bankruptcy. Theyre supposed to go into effect in 2026 trump wanted to roll back, california said well we can do that but we have our waiver. Well stick to this stricter emissions standards because thats important to us those Greenhouse Gases that comes out of those vehicles, theyre causing Climate Change, wildfires and mud slides and all of that. Thats why it is happening the auto company do not like what the administration had done who on earth does it make sense for . Please regulate us and the governor of california is saying this is better for the people in california suffering mud slides and fires, who exactly is saying that lets roll it back the guess is the oil company. More efficient cars and use less oil, 5 of the World Population and we use a quarter of the worlds oil output on a daily bases for transportation the trick about california, so many cars are sold in california that de facto the Car Companies have to deal with californias Higher Standards what the autoindustry does not want is two standards. One for california and one for the rest of the country. We had ford, bmw and volkswagon. The president did not like that. The Justice Department investigating those four automakers for antitrust violations which is kind of remarkable the idea they got together to say well abide by the aroun standards. They got together to do anything else, we think thats antitrump kind of behavior this is in fact not what we thought it is for gavin newsom held a press conference and said basically this is pay back for agreeing to californias stricter standards. Is california going to do anything about this . Yes, theyll go to court. There is no legal bases for the president to do this california has had this ability since the Clean Air Act in 1970. They equated out the governor of california to push for the waiver was Ronald Reagan they say last i checked he was a republican yes, he was they have to make the waiver request. They have done it 100 times and it has been granted 100 times. This does not have a legal leg to stand on. In the meantime, now there is a certainty. Thats as what you know business hates. The question is now do they assume california is going to win and Start Building cars for the stricter standards or do they build based on the Trump Administration going to win or build two kinds of cars. They want to know what are the rules and what do i have to adhere to and what am i paying and i will figure it out here is the interesting thing. I was out in detroit what is gm trying to do . Gm is trying to move the company from internal Combustion Engine cars cars that run on gasoline and electricity. Gmcs electric cars as the way of the future. The administration President Trump thinks electric cars are too expensive and says we should have cheaper internal Combustion Engine cars. That may be but because some days and some body is going to regulate the price of car man in this country the automakers are trying to get ahead of that and produce cars that wont be impacted by that in this country, clean air, clean water, epa regulations and creation of epa and all of these things were done or many of them were done under republican administrations at the state level and the federal level. This used to be a bipartisan issue and in fact republicans in this country have a history and taking the lead on environmental. Richard nixon signed the pa into law thats right. Thank you, anne as always less than 24 hours, chris hayes and i will talk to candidates on both sides of the isle should they reach the highest office in the United States. Bill will will participate in this conversation. Anyone in the white house listening to this, chris and i will make space. Mark sanchez is welcome to come and joe walsh is welcome to come if you want to talk about climate and you are running for president , well talk to you this is a nationwide series, our climate is in crisis now any candidate hoping to replace President Trump is going to likely make Climate Policy a center piece of their first term two of the biggest pieces of that puzzle are the transportation and electrical grid we are just talking about transportation, you take transport and electricity combined, this constitutes more of half of all of u. S. Greenhouse gas emissions according to the epa environmental plan from various candidates addressed these two areas specifically i want to take a look at this. First, transportation, according to the epa, a typical passenger in the 4. 6 metric tons of co 2 per year there were more than 193 million Passenger Vehicles registered in the United States. More than 890 metric tons of co 2 were admitted from passenger cars this is nearly twice of all the emissions produced by the country of brazil in 2017. For anyone who says driving cars is not the biggest contributor to co 2 emissions is just wrong. Most points to this emissions. While the timeline varies between the candidates all of them pledge there will be zero emissions cars that all new cars in the United States will be zero emissions between 2030 and 2035 coming up next, our buildings, they consume energy, too, heat and cool created by our electrical power plant Electricity Generation was responsible for nearly 1. 8 billion metric tons of Carbon Dioxide co 2 again, the candidates buried in their timeline, they agree we need an emissionfree electrical grid by 2050 all of this is going take a lot of efforts and incentives and cooperations between political rival and cooperation between the government and industry. A new president is going to have a mix of executive orders and legislation and frankly pitch to americans and industries and in their lives about why we have to fundamentally change the way we consume and produce energy the plan to address our Carbon Economy are ambitious. There are some surprising groups getting behind this. Joining us now republican congressman bob ingles, sorry, bob, we talked many times, i do know you are a man it is callgood to see you. Good to be here with you. How much of a challenge right now because you got members of your party who are some what climate denials. It is getting much better for about a decade it was climate science. Now things are turning and in part the economy is better and therefore we can focus on longer term and second, we have all had experiences with Climate Change and third, more groups like ours messaging on the right and helping conservatives to enter the conversation and a language they know. Bob, i want to make a correction, not only i got your gender wrong, it is republican yes, energy and enterprise and entrepreneurship and solving Climate Change through free market principles. Lets go back to a point where stephanie and i were talking about. For republicans this is reclaiming natural ground, right . You are not some weird guy on the side of the Party Republicans have been on the forefront of climate country what you are saying is exactly correct. Reagan was the one that gave california that waiver nixon was the one that was all over the creation epa and the clean air. This is a republican aheritage we long been about conserving and keeping our resources good rather than using it this current sort of dissertation to science is not something that we conservatives are used to. We think it is an admiration that we want to return to this classic conservatism of saying you bet it is conservative to figure out the way to use market principle to fix Climate Change. The best way to do that is eliminate all necessities and attack all the fuels and build them into the price. Watch the system deliver innovation and faster than government mandates or incentives can ever imagine. Thats a level plain field is what we are looking for, we think it is bedrock and conservatism where is the root of skepticism it come in various things there were some merchants, spreading this message to make us doubt whether there is a consensus on Climate Change. Thankfully the air is clearing on that. That gig is about up of merchants of doubt the other thing is the conversation has been mostly conducted of the language of the left what to do with less lets walk and eat bugs, okay, thats a little bit of exaggeration what we do is change that conversation so it is more about language of abundance. We have more energy and mobility and freedom. We want a claimbetter and faste cheaper. Interesting way to say that if we dont talk about this sacrifices and inconveniences and opportunities to do the right thing and be at the front end of it that would be neat they are small and shrinking portion proportion many of whom will be conservatives who think of the change thats necessarily as either not urgent or too expensive for them to be vofr involved in. What we need to show them is solutions that seem practical. Those are here we got them. It is just theyre not quite economic and so you got to prop it up. Thats one way to do it to give incentives and tax benefits to the challenger fuels the other way to do it is more efficient is to make the incumbent fuels fully accountable. Make it so they have to pay. If they do then the plain field is lefvelled and you have entrepreneurs delivering to us new technology that works and expand our economy and have the u. S. Leading the world to a solution and so it is a strange place in my opinion for american to be on the sidelines snipping of how we cant do this or that and that we have to try to do it without us thats a strange state of affairs is as far as what i am concerned. America is the one thats leading this we got the engineers we got the investors really we got the ideas that will solve this challenge. We think it is a problem of economics that has environmental consequence. You fix the economics, the environment will take care itself fix the economics and tackle on some political will thank you so much for joining us, former republican congressman bob inglis hes not a conservative, this is what the Climate Conversation should look like it should not be partisan. It should be humans are concerned of this earth and their children clean air and water and safety next, we are breaking down brand new 2020 polling from nbc news in the wall street journal. President trumps is in the ste of california. Well take a look of whats going on with the border wall and his call on the homeless you are watching velshi ruhle. I found some incredible records about samuel silberman. Passenger manifests, census information, even wwi draft registration cards. The records exist. Theyre there, theyre facts. That made it so real for me, it wasnt just a story anymore. Bring your Family History to life like never before. Get started for free at ancestry. Com man hey. N banjo . Go home. woman banjo sorry, it wont happen again. Come on, lets go home. After 10 years, weve covered a lot of miles. Good thing i got a subaru. man looks like you got out again, huh, banjo. avo love is out there. Find it in a subaru crosstrek. Today we are getting a fresh look of where the Democratic Candidates stand the top three spots are spl solidifying around joe biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren we are five months out from the first caucuses only 9 of democra rerespondenrerespondenspondents say their mind is made up. Ali vitali and our steve cornacki two here and one in and out the field. There is five of us total in this conversation. Sometimes is face timing me during the show right now and i want to answer and say are you kidding me okay, steve cornacki, whats your biggest take away you put the numbers we have been talking all summer, whos in second place is this . Is it warren or is it sanders . Sometimes sanders is up a couple of points. In this poll, you can see warren is getting separation from sanders when it comes to second place. Warren is only 6point behind joe biden for first place. Shes closer to first place in this poll than to staanders whats moving the number up for Elizabeth Warren look at whos down at 5 at this poll Kamala Harris. After this first debate where she had that show down with joe biden, her numbers took off. She was up 20 it has come down to 5 looks like Elizabeth Warren has been a major beneficiary of Kamala Harris falling down sanders and warren, there are differences believe it or not and the coalition they put together but there are a bunch of voters they are both fighting over it looks like warren at least in our poll starting to get the better of staanders wellsee a new trend if it wil endure andrew yankeg is talking abot the feedback hes in fifth place in this poll i will show you interesting thing about andrew yang. Look at this on voters under the age of 35. Look where andrew yang is here hes ahead of joe biden. You thought september 2019 among all democrats under the age of 35, the former Vice President is running behind andrew yang thats where hes coming from. Can you give us a quick History Lesson though there are loads of things we could not predict. Thats the whole thing. If you go back to the screen here biden is in first place and warren is in second. You know what, it is not a national rie National Primary it starts in iowa. There is still a chance who to say cory booker does not move up in iowa and getting the contention out there and have a moment if you can breakthrough iowa, that could set something up and we are focusing in on biden and warren right now because of what the poll is showing. It is not a National Primary those candidates are out there working and things can change. We have seen it before ali vitali, 56 of democrats primary voters before a nominee who proposes Large Scale Solutions to problems as oppose to small incremental things. A lot of people have criticized liz Elizabeth Warren because she has a plan for that. Some of the things are too big and too much change involved it requires a lurch to the party of the left. Take a look at this, 56 of large scale stuff and 40 of smaller scale stuff, thats something Elizabeth Warren is benefiting from this poll. Yes, so thats the concern. When you are joe biden and making the pitch that you are the most electable against trump if you make it through the general election a poll like this does not help you get to that place. Of course, to get to the general, you got to go to the primary. Someone like Elizabeth Warren, one of the reasons we are seeing shes doing well is shes able to get on that stage and do it largely unchallenged by the rest of the field thats her smooth sailing summer i am interested to see once we hit the debate stage in ohio next months does that change thats interesting i think the other thing that we are looking at is shes in second place with africanamerican voters. There is still a big gap between her and biden about this i imagine thats something the Warren Campaign is looking at. As you and i all know you cant really win the democratic primary without voters vaughan hillyard. An 8 drop since july. Since the last month or so, shes spending a ton of time fund raising help us understand what her strategy is. Reporter one Campaign Official told me about the polls that came out. Horse race polling be dammed our reporter up on capitol hill tweet out which he over heard Kamala Harris talking to senator and he quoted her saying shes going to be moving to iowa i verbally will have to see. Her campaign is focused on fund raising and over the course of the next few weeks, the campaigns spisofficial tells m thats their continued plan. They want to build and continue their Robust Campaign and put them in the position and not only be serious ahead of iowa and New Hampshire but into the super states have another moment and allows herself to be that candidate in this race of the unifying message thats palable to a broad section of the democratic electric but makes the case she has the best general election candidate. The polling you guys have been discussing the three candidates are warren and biden and sanders. Those are the three individuals enter this contest with the highest name id. Among the democratic l electorates. They have brands of who they were now the question is to what extent can Kamala Harris continue to introduce her story and make it relevant through a broad Cross Section of this and also begin to actually campaign seriously. Shes essentially all over the course of the last few months through the summer steve cornacki. Vaughan hillyard and ali vitali. All of you are great thank you.

Welcome back to velshi ruhle. The president announced this morning hes going to name Robert Obrien to the post he was vofrinvolved in helping q hes replacing john bolton one of the first issues facing obrien will be the increasing tensi tensions of iran the u. S. Believes iran was behind the oil attack. It is evidence that iran was behind the attack. Nbc has not yet verify this claim. It claims as hours as President Trump announced hes increasing sanctions against iran the white house is weighing other actions including a cyber attack or a physical strike. Iran denies any involvement in the attack Lindsey Graham criticized the administrations response. The attack was an act of war i appreciate the effort of the president to be measured when it came to the drones the point i am trying to make is not what i think it is not what the iranian thinks and clearly they have not got the message. The attack by the oil refinery is an act of war matt it is attacking the worlds economy. Joining me now our ali arouzi. Lets start with Lindsey Grahams comment how do you see iran interpreting the United States coming out with more sanctions . Iran and foreign minister just tweet this is further Economic Warfare against the iranian people it certainly going to make any dialogue between the United States and iran and amazingly difficult. It was not easy to start with. This almost kills any prospect of dialogue. Drop all the sanctions and we may talk there are no signs of that happening. This is going to definitely put the final nail in the coffin or any talks between iran or america. It is going to make iran dig in deeper the reality is sanctions have had a very bad effect on iran. There is no doubt about that it has not had the objective thats to make regime and iran it is different of the results and made them dig in deeper and made them more aggressive. I am not sure what effects any more sanctions it will have. They sanction the country so heavily. There is not a lot left. Theyre sanctioning the minor sector and the top person of the country and the foreign minister the revolution regards of being sanctioned and senior members are being sanctioned i am sure there are more on the list that i cant remember there are so many of them. I dont think anymore sanctions are going to have any real effect on iran except for stiffening their results further. Interestingly, Lindsey Graham is not always on the same page of this administration he had been more aggressive than the other administration have been mike pompeo is starting to use similar language of an act of war. While saudi arabia is an ally, theyre not a nato member. But there seems to be some argument building here an attack on saudi arabia actually will be an attack on the United States we got to go to the president now on the tarmac with his new National Security adviser. You cant do the money thing. If you do the money thing all of a sudden, it will quadruple and you say whats going on. Robert has been fantastic, we have known each other well maybe robert say a few words great, thank you. It is a privilege to serve the president and i look forward to another year and a half of peace restraint with tremendous forum policy successes under President Trumps leadership i expect those to continue we got a number of challenges. There is a great team in place with secretary pompeo and mnuchin and others i look forward to working with them and the president to keep america safe and continue to rebuild our military and really get us back and keep the American People safe around the world today. [ inaudible question ] we are looking at those issues now secretary pompeo is in saudi arabia right now just now coming home any advise i give to the president will be something i give him confidentially. We are monitoring the situation closely. Nothing to report yet well be speaking to you tomorrow maybe the next day nothing to report. It has not changed very much i think my thinking pretty much remains the same we have not learned much that we didnt know. There is a certain garuarantee factor we are in a point where we know very much what happened. You will see what happens. You will watch excuse me . Will rouhani come to new york next week . I really dont know it is up to him. It is up to him. Well see what happens well see what happens i would let them come. If it is up to me, i would let them come. I feel the United Nation is very important. I dont think it every lifts up to the potential it has. That would be up to them no, i think it is a sign of strength we have the Strongest Military in the world now i think it is a great sign of strength it is easy to attack but if you ask lindsey, ask him how it goes how did the war in iraq work out . There is plenty of time to do some it is easy to start and well see what happens well see what happens i think we have a lot of good capit capital. If we have to do something well do it without hesitation [ inaudible question ] he spoke to me a little while ago, well have an announcement. Mr. Obrien, something you were looking for that you did not get through mr. Bolton mr. Obrien is highly respected by so many people that i didnt even know really knew him he did a tremendous job on hostage negotiation, really tremendous like unparalleled he had tremendous success and brought home many people and true hos shrough hostage nen i got to know him very well. A lot of people i respect rated him as the absolute number one choice you know i think we have a Good Chemistry together and well have a great relationship. Veryn did i raise more sanctions on iran today i did well be adding some significance sanctions onto iran what will that include, sir well announce it in the next 48 hours will there be further announcement on iran will you look for military strikes . Well see what happens. What are the options that you are considering . Well, there are many options. There is the ultimately option and there are options a lot less than that. Well see, we are in a powerful position right now we are in a very, very powerful position. I would say the ultimate option going in war no, i am not talking about that ultimate option i think it is a very Important Role really a role that the president respects the person that is the adviser, i think it plays an Important Role okay, thank you. Peter, thank you we are going to the border later, are you all with me well show you a lot of wall we are building a lot of wall. We won the big case and a couple of other cases as you know we are billing a luilding a lots well be talking to you later on have you talked to Benjamin Netanyahu . I have not. Those results are coming in and it is very close do you have any updates . You guys should know before the president. No, i am not everybody knew it is very close. Well see what happens look, our relationship is with israel well see what happens thank you, everybody all right, we are in the middle of the conversation with ali arouzi and the president introducing ali, when he talked about the ultimate options with iran, reporters asked i am what do you mean by th that the ultimate action is war and i am not talking about that. He praised the United Nation thats a great place, i would let them come. America reserves the rights and options to do very bad things but he impliied thats not on th table right now. Reporter hes hot and cold we were getting tweets the other day like locked and loaded and now hes kind of walking it back the iranians are confused and i am not sure everybody in his Administration Knows what his next move is going to be the iranians have been clear if they are attacked directly by the United States or saudi arabia attacks iran, theyre going to hold the United States responsible and they are going to retaliate with full force against u. S. Assets in the region they have said time and time again that the u. S. Assets in the region are within their targets and theyre not fighting if iran comes under attack this is a very, very delicate situation we are in right now. The president also realizes that a war with iran would be bad for everybody. It would be bad for the United States and it would be bad for saudi arabia and it would be bad for iran the problem is in all three of these countries, you have some fairly head strong leaders that are not risk above it is very unpredictable right now. Iran is sticking to its guns saying we are ready if you attack us. When we wait and see, locked and loaded, stay tuned, given how delicate the situation is, dont those sentiment add to the chaos of it all . Absolutely. It is a chaotic and unpredictable situation and from daytoday, we have no idea how it is going to move on that has changed the calculation from iran. They have been saying for quite some time now they dont want to talk to this president he changes his mind over 24 hours. They are trying to wait him out. If they cant wait for him, we arng match with you guys and we are not frighten with it ali arouzi with us, thank you. Well continue to follow this story closely. Being in a chaotic situation, one thing is straight forward, it is really different when there are armed parties with weapons. The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a new cut of Interest Rates for the second time in a decade ahead of that announcement, here is what the market stands we had sort of an offish day. Not much a quarter of a percent joining us now to have a conversation about this, diane swan we know a rate cut is coming talk to me about how we should think about this we have seen much of the effects of this in things like Mortgage Rates and they backed up from the lows we have seen. Much of the rate cut is affecting us thats what you will hear chairman powell talked about the day. The economy is doing well because we did a 180 and not only help the rates but cut rate by half percent. On the flip side well be holding this card very close on whether or not well get additional cuts and rates. How far do they go in ensuring hedging these negative Downside Risk and we have seen trades and issues with iran and oil prices and all of those shots verses the reality that the u. S. Economy is still doing okay. They would like their powder dry until they see the eye of the recession, we dont have a lot of more rate cuts before we get down to zero again thats something that the fed worries about because there are much more limited in what they can do back in july, jay powell described the rate cut as an adjustment and the market did not like that. Adjustment is fixing your tie. What hes doing is cutting in july and cutting again is more like taking your tie and rolling your sleeves up and digging into what called be a real problem. If it were a judgment then, we would not be getting one now apparently the market did not like it last time because it meant fewer rate cuts and it looks like thats what hes going to be signaling today because he does not have the boat on the feds to go to hedge against the risk we are saying it does not mean you wont and conditions can change. What they want to do is contingent on these changing conditions and be able to be flexible this is really hard for chairman powell last time he was sideswiped by the spectrum some people did not want to cut rates at all and a lot of people want to cut more this time hes keeping his cards close to his vest. Good to see you, diane swan the chief economist. Thank you. Listen to this, well break down how rising sea levels could change the landscape specifically in places like philadelphia and charleston. This is part of our climate in crisis series right here on msnbc. Ing her car towed. All i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. If i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, i would tell them, you need to join usaa because they have better rates, and better service. Were the gomez family.

What if my Retirement Plan is i dont want to retire . Then lets not create a Retirement Plan. Lets create a plan for whats next. I like that. Get a plan thats right for you. Td ameritrade. Were focusing on Climate Change this week and today we want to discuss something that should be of concern to every person on this planet. Sea level rise one aspect of Climate Change we want to give paw look at what Sea Level Rise could look like and how it could change the geography of several states. According to noaa the populations grew from approximately 91 million to approximately 126 million in 2010 thats about 40 of the total u. S. Population. So lets look at just one coastal city and how Sea Level Rise could affect it this is central charleston, South Carolina this is where i was during Hurricane Dorian as it is right now the green showing low lying areas. Okay that could be prone to flooding at this point now, heres what happens after four feet of Sea Level Rise a little more than 1 meter you see flooding pushing through the northeastern and southwest parts of the city. By 10 feet, the central part of the city is a little more disconnected take a look at that. Okay lith little bits of land with historic water the citadel if you know charleston, totally can be merged its not just a problem for cities sitting on the atlantic ocean. This is philadelphia, south philly and camden, new jersey, along the Delaware River they sit nearly 60 miles from the ocean. Philadelphia is not a coastal city take a look at 4 feet of Sea Level Rise, the dark areas of philadelphia start to flood along with bigger sections of camden at 7 feet, a little more than 2 meters, the camden aquarium and rutgers university, both of their campuses are under water at 10 feet, 3 meters, whole neighborhoods of south philadelphia are gone along with most of western camden flooding pushes nearly to the Sports Complex and in center city, a river forms almost all the way to Independence Hall all right, joining us is an associate professor in the mathematics, Science Technology department at Teachers College in Colombia University chris to a lot of people Climate Change is Different Things its hurricanes, its droughts its fires but Sea Level Rise is a massive problem around the world, particularly in places where we have settled because their water. Yeah, i think the notion that we dont have to worry about these things if we are living in urban areas or living no. Its such a silly phenomenon. What im glad about is we are having conversations about this now. Its always in the conversation this may affect the citadel. This may affect the statue of liberty. People that live in those places. Most importantly those who live in those areas are the most economically disadvantaged so they cant recover as as soon as those that live on the beaches in california. The Hurricane Katrina as an example. Yes. Some can prove somewhere else we have entire parts of the world like bangladesh a large portion of the population gets flooded out every year how do we fix from this is a passive infrastructure this is not a onefix phenomenon i argue always it takes multiple levels of things to do the first thing i think we have to do which folks dont like to have a conversation about is science and education and have young folks to be aware and created a advocates in the next generation of young folks who will be acted by this. The another piece is not shying away and engaging in the political landscape. We heard about the rollbacks of epa in california. So this is a large dimension kind of problem that requires a more broadway of looking at the issues so their not a fix all but it is one that requires a conversation about the urgency of it all and letting folks that would be affected being aware of the phenomenon we dont have enough popular lit ral rat who knows if this goes down, you are affected and if erms folks are aware, they make those situations corey booker have talked about climate justice, people in the oil and gas sector and there are other groups who are affected because they are poorer they live in places that will be prone to flooding or drought or hurricanes or mudslides and cant do anything about that we have to think of this as a social issue and an economic issue and a technological issue. And a preventative issue. I think a part of the conversation of letting folks be aware of the dynamics is a recognition of the likelihood and the effects, im not waiting for it to happen this gets down to the science, an understanding of the distinction between weather and climate. If the weather is going on okay, it doesnt mean Climate Change is happening. It matters out your window. The climate is the world. We have this broad based perspective and inform folks, it helps us to be more effective and plan for the future effectively. Is it us moving away from coastal places on stilts on houses, how should we be thinking about Property Values in coastal places . Of course we are dealing with that right now, we are dealing with folks who cant get insurance on their homes in these issues. Human beings are resilient so we will find ways to navigate what happens when it happens, some better than other, but more information is necessary for knowing how to do it and also to understand the signs about what the next levels are. And also its economic right. So how do these communities who may be directly affected find ways in which they become a part of the economy that can solve the issue. Lots to talk about. Its a lot. Its a lot chris, thank you. An associate professor in the department of mathematics Science Technology Teachers College Colombia University.
