Dialogue and i talk back to 2011 where we all had a little bit of optimism that these folks could be in a row and come together on something significant and we know how that story went according to bob woodward to boulevard for Different Reasons but what is interesting to me is whether it bears the fruit of the dialogue in terms of the branch between republicans and democrats that is something we will have to wait and see but hopefully we will be hearkening back to that meeting in november 2014 as an opportunity to move the ball forward. I think the folks in this administration has been prepared for some time and they knew it was going to happen, and i think that we will hear a very good tone and the question then is what happens when the extremes of both parties turned. I have a very helpful twitter feed that somebody has asked about infrastructure legislation and it may be tied onto some tax reform or kind of where are you pretty optimistic about . The there will be things that have
To 10 years is tossed around. [inaudible] does that fall short of what advocates are hoping for and looking for from the president . Yes. [laughter] well, i mean, i think you know most of us, look, daca which was done, was a tremendous success both in terms of helping real people and as a little move in a tough election season, you know, it was based on the dream act which had been defeated in a close vote months earlier, actually in late 2010 in the lameduck session. We think the senate bill which passed on a bipartisan bill basis would be a good template to use for, has bipartisan support, very clear criteria, who would qualify for legal status. But that would be a good basis. It looks unlikely that thats going to happen, but i think the administration should be well aware that if it goes small its going to get as much grief from republicans as if it goes big. Into the goes big its going to get a lot more love from Immigration Reform movement, the Latino Committee and other constitue
Uncertain. With resources scaling back their influence to generate exports in general. So they will continue to be more aggressive with the cuban internal demand is 40,000 pearls they have been getting 100,000 using the rest. But we see them renegotiating terms with china. Exporting around 330,000 Barrels Per Day with china the import figures show that those numbers are down at 200,000 barrels and that is additional cash they have to work with. The government right now is very short term protest for the cash generating exports is the goal but that domestic subsidy is architect the with the National Assembly elections. But it will is 0. 9 per gallon. They do generate 13 million per year. That this is a government that is terrified to do anything with political ramifications and that is potentially destabilizing. That is off the table for now as officials told me that. May be you will see a domestic fuel subsidy in 2017 maddow also expected to be gradual theyre not just to eliminate outr
Day or who owns the temple mount and he knows it. He does not believe he can negotiate these issues because you make the point that resonates why should we give up the west bank in return for something that is less that leaves these issues open and festering . So he goes to the un. That question you have to ask yourself a strategy for the palestinian issue that leaves the Democratic State state, what has to be the prime is really interest in a deal with the palestinians . Is it getting them to renounce the hard help position like right of return and the temple mount or is it getting it out of the west bank with Adequate Security provisions . If the latter i think it is possible with american help perhaps in the International Arena but maybe bilateral to make progress of a twostate solution to leave the heavy narrative issues like the temple mount 3,000 years old to leave them for the future that this is the only chance i see today. And frankly you have not been oriented in this directi
Tell us where they are today. The republicans, yeah. The republicans had 179 seats at the beginning of the obama administration. They are up to, if you look at current leads at 251, some of those leads may evaporate as california in particular takes a long time to vote to count its votes. They theyve taken as long as five weeks. A week ago sunday, brazil tabulates the votes in five hours. In california, which believes itself to be a more advanced state takes five weeks. In any case, it appears that republicans have won more than the 234. They won it in 2012, more than the 242, they won in 2010. And almost certainly more than the 246, they won in 1946. You have to go back to the 1928 cycle to find a time when republicans did better in house elections. Norm was covering that for cbs radio. And thats thats there. Its, you know, part of this is baked into the cake by demographics. You know, in 2016, 2012, mitt romney who many of you will remember carried 226 house districts, carried a majo
