We did not embarq on a truckonly Highway Program. Guest it is darn expensive to do that. Not that there have not been proposals for that kind of approach. You find truckonly lanes in various places around the country. We know that Freight Networks are a huge concern. They are leading commerce. It is one thing we think this administration will care about. Anyding additional lanes in road, especially in an urbanized area, is a difficult and expensive proposition. There are elements we would agree with. I dont think we will see a wholesale truckexclusive interstate any time the near future. Host transportation. Org is the website for our guest association. Washington journal continues. Host our guest is Debra Knopman , a principal researcher for the rand corporation. Not everything is broken, the future of u. S. Transportation. Good morning.

Economy is pretty good. Good enough to raise rates by more than we thought. The market endured a mild selloff. Dow breaking a sevenday winning traek. Nasdaq declined. Instead of getting destroyed. Come on. Head to the 2,000 point run weve had to the election its peanuts. I think we can admit weve been due for a bit of a selloff. We didnt see a wholesale slaughter as some people expected. Given the rare heights we got to. This kind of pull back, to use a word people hate to hear in relation to a loss, healthy. Its an extraordinary time but not so extraordinary that we can keep rallying after through and through the rate hike. There was a brief moment where the market cheered the hike. Minutes after the 2 00 announcement and the dow looked like it was going to pierce the 20,000 mark. The bideuyers stormed the rampa were thrown back by profit takers. Who seemed motivated by desire to lock in. Rather than a need to bail on the entire market. You know what that relatively gentle selloff mea
Which is why the u. S. Government launched an elaborate International Sting to nab viktor bout. What makes bout so dangerous . And how did d. E. A. Agents eventually grab him . The answers in our story later. [ticking] this is what espionage looks like. The man driving the car is Gregg Bergersen. Hes a civilian analyst at the pentagon with one of the nations highest security clearances. His companion is tai shen kuo, a spy for the peoples republic of china.

Partisan issue. Plenty of democrats understand that the president s action has made it significantly harder for us to get off on the right foot in the new year on a number of issues that we already agree on, by and large. The junior senator from north dakota said the immigration order quote could poison any hope of compromise or bipartisanship in the new senate before its even started. Well, i agree with the sentiment. I hope shes wrong and i hope we can prove that wrong by saying that were not going to give up and were not going to let what the president does determine what we do. We have to do our job and we have to function and then were going to have to work with the president hopefully to try to move the country forward in a number of these areas. So i hope we can find a way to stop the president from acting on his own and to recommit ourselves to the rule of law and the particularl particularly the constitution and get about the job of addressing our countrys biggest challenges.
Irrigated lawns, and we had a deer herd living in downtown boulder. When the lions moved in, they were in the open space, then they discovered there was deer in town. In the lions discovered they could eat dogs and cats. That is food for them. So the lions were learning, and they have learned, that this is where they will find food. Yes, there is food up there, too, there is lots to eat in town. This is a retreat, beautifuly an a place for enrichment, enlightenment, and coming together. The people who were intended to be the audience were really what we would call the middle class. The programs were very similar. A combination of speakers of the day, also a variety of both what we might consider highbrow and lowbrow entertainment opera, classical music, and probably what wed be considered fulfill of that day.
