Atrocities theyve committed, both in local communities here and really across the country. i think its a new threat. unlike one weve really seen from a violent trans-national organized crime operating on united states soil. ms-13, as i said in my remarks, not only has 10,000 members in the united states, but they are across the country in 40 states and the district. ms-13 prosecutions are going on in virginia, new york, l.a., texas, all around the country. >> did the previous two administrations...

You hear from the administration today and others, fundamentals are sound. i remember that, too from republican and democratic administrations and every hit the markets have had. fundamentals are sound. our economy is sound. you know, earnings, if you want to add them in the latest batch, eight out of ten, the s&p 500 stocks reporting better than expected news, et cetera. that is the saving grace. youre not buying it. why not? >> go back to 1973. the economy was doing well. the economy was going...

Unlike one weve really seen from a violent trans national crime gang. ms-13 like i said in my remarks, not only has 10,000 members in the united states, but theyre across the country and 40 states and the district. we have ms-13 prosecutions going on in virginia, new york, l.a., texas, all around the country. >> did the previous two administrations not appreciate this, let it go? become a bigger problem? >> i cant talk to the priorities of the previous administrations. i can talk about the admin...

Is not considered nearly the threat that the kind of violence youre talking about? >> were dealing with multiple priorities every day, allocating resources. there will be sufficient resources targeting ms-13 and we will continue to devote those resources to that threat. yes? >> people have been racing about ms-13 since 2006. is it your position that the previous two administrations, bush and obama, did not prioritize this or is this much worse now than it was then and therefore it is justified t...

The special inspector general to not release to the public data on the number of districts controlled or influenced by the afghan government or by the insurgent or contested by both. the inspector generals office was informed that the defense department determined the most recent numbers are unclassified, nevertheless not releasable to the public. this development is troubling for a number of reasons, that is not the first time the inspector generals office was instructed not to release informat...

Tweet ever. which was, the idea where the white house would say, dow jones, the president barely knew him. he was a low-level volunteer on the campaign. he was only with them for a few weeks, which i obviously thought was very, very funny. the president hasnt mentioned it. this could be a really good learning moment for this administration. weve talked about this before. unlike previous administrations, the president and his treasury te secretary and his administration have been touting this mar...

Not release data on the number of districts controlled or influenced by the afghanistan government or insurgents. they were informed the defense department has determined that although the most recent numbers are unclassified, theyre not releasable to the public. this is troubling for a lot of reasons. this is the first time their office has been specifically instructed not to release information marked as unclassified to the american taxpay taxpayer. if you go to the bottom of the nearly 300-pa...

Is picking these nominees? >> youll recall this is sort of ancient history, but remember when chris christie was supposed to be involved in the transition stuff? this was like a year and a half ago. and then there were changes to who were going to be the folks who actually were deeply involved in the transition? so this white house kind of, instead of hitting the ground running, hit the ground with a rush of stuff to accomplish and not a lot of time to do it and was sort of plagued in those earl...

Election of concentrations, and they get to choose who they want. the president picks people who are polar opposite of what we saw in the obama administration. then there is the fundamental question of ability and whether or not the person is ready for the job, and thats some other questions weve seen. we dont have, really, a comparable list because it just isnt as big, i think, from the bush and obama administrations, but just check out the overall number of nominations that we have. president ...

Hard to push blame for a drop like what were seeing today on to other people. >> shepard: which is the reason given by previous presidents, previous administrations for keeping their noses out of it. >> exactly right. what is interesting, every time the market has gone down the past several years, people looked at it as a buying opportunity. i can jump in now. this is the first time in quite a while that weve seen no one buying on the dip. that dip is a fall. you know, again, you have the warren...
