House denying it was a ransom payment but we have learned Senior Justice Department official expressed concern over the timing of the payment as the president said Donald Trumps strong rhetoric against muslims fueling terrorism. What about putting 400 million in the hands of terrorists . Amber, something of a complicated story. If you go all the way back iran gave us 400 million before your time. It is in the history books. We owe them this money and it was before 1979 and all of a sudden through the cosmic stars are aligning they got cash the same way hostages are released. It is a nice excuse and back story for the administration who made a reckless decision when they breached longstanding us policy where we dont pay ransom for american citizens and that is exactly what happened. When you have americans who are held hostage or are illegally detained, and the government pays money and hostages are released, that is the definition of a ransom, the four americans were released, now that
Poll is. Good morning or good afternoon, charles. Good afternoon. Weve been seeing donald trump having some trouble with women, and we had the war of the wives coming into the week and just when you thought it couldnt get worse, it certainly has. But how much damage has been done . I think its been a a really rough two weeks for trump. Especially as it relates to women. If you looked yesterday, the antics that had happened with the Campaign Manager, with what he said about abortion, the battle between trump and cruzs wives. Said yesterday theres no way that trump can win a general election if he continues these antics. And similarly at surprisingly to me was critical of trump as well. So i think, you know, any to be fair to trump, any republican president ial candidate going into november is going to be carefully watched by the mainstream media. We can look at the past two election cycles, charles, and we can see that everything that republicans say whether theyre running for the presi
A most interesting day, because we talk about inflation in australia, talk about commodities. But its really all about jobs. Just a little bit of a haze into yen. Tom yeah, i also noticed german yields have again way this morning. One of my great focuses will be to revisit the twoyear and 10year german yield. What i want to ask you about, francine, are the elections in britain k. We talk about them yet . Where are we in terms of results . Francine ok, so the results we find out a little bit later. We already have indications. Yesterday we voted on three things. The mayor here in london, but also local elections. What we know so far is that it doesnt seem to have a huge revolution. I dont know the conflictions of brexit, but well try to analyze it. First off, lets get the news. Thanks, francine. Early results are in from the British Regional and local elections. Nationalists are on course for a Third Straight victory in scotland. Nicholas will extend her term as head of the scotlands se
Long as im meeting someone who doesnt have a job, and wants one. Im not going to be satisfied as long as there is a kid who write me a letter and says i have 60,000 of debt, and i dont know how to pay it back. I want to do everything i can to deliver for them. [ inaudible question ] listen, as i think some of you saw out on the campaign trail, i love campaigning. I love talking to ordinary people. I love listening to their stories. I love shaking hands and getting hugs and just seeing the process of democracy in citizenship manifest itself during an election. But im also a practical guy. And ultimately every candidate out there had to make their own decision abouts what they thought would be most helpful for them, their particular region, state, congressional district, if its helpful for me to be behind the scenes, im happy to do it. What i will emphasize is that one of the nice things about being in the six year of your presidency. Keeping the eye on the ball, and tha scott, last ques
That big in the Climate Impact is not that big. Do you agree with the people that believe this debate is not as big as it is . Do you think it should be the first bill that the senate is pushing with republicans in control . First off, not only have you been aware of this project for six years, but you have been out to north dakota to see firsthand what is going on. It is a bigger issue about building the Energy Infrastructure to be energy secure. I like to refer to it as north American Energy security. We produce more energy than we consume. Consumers are reaping the benefit of it. If we equated that to consumers the point is when he to build the Energy Infrastructure to have the kind of energy plan we are building for this country for north america read at is what this is about. The opponents are trying to block it. It is not just this project. It is the bigger picture. Do you think the low oil prices presents an opportunity for congress to pass a variety of measures that might be hi
