Then, welcome to you. Forecasting 3. 3 expansion rate into 2013, so it is two and. 5 right now. Growth is only a lousy 1. 4 , but if you cut out the cu...

To do what is inherit a government function. Its almost like a hit brick wall every i time talk about this. Why is it it has to be a contract function. Why cant we use the best trained military in the world to protect our most valued assets in our most dangerous places . I mean, i think the reality just speaking with regards to my old agency we are deployed in so many areas you cant expect the military to pop up there and provide that kind of protection. They have to get security on side and get...

Believe that the situation we have and why were here this morning is because this case is unique and unprecedented. So why are cases normally not handled out in the public . All the other cases that came before either this committee or the Senate Committee whether or not they met the criteria of urgent concern were forwarded because they involved members of the Intelligence Community who were in organizations underneath the dnis authority and responsibility. This didnt come that way because it i...

Technical problem from within that was corrected. And it was an issue of embracing the way we have now and should have the private sector who clearly has the capability of making and providing tests at the level that we will need them for any of the things that ive just spoken about. So having said that, right now i totally understand and im not alone. My colleagues understand, that although we say there are x number of tests out there and youre going to hear from admiral giroir about that. The ...

Hello and welcome to the bbcs special coverage of the second day of President Trumps impeachment trial. Im katty kay in washington. Senate republicans set ground rules, rejecting democrat demands for new witnesses to be called. President trump weighs in with his view. Its a total hoax. Its a disgrace. But anger from democrats. They say theyre trying to uphold the rule of law. Part of our strength is not only our support for our allies, is not only our military might, its what we stand for. Hello...

Hour they had to argue each motion to not just make a procedural argument but also to make an evidentiary argument as to why this information was so important in making the case against the president. Im sure theyre going to have a sophisticated opening argument. I am kind of astonished they are going to spend 24 hours. That seems like a lot of time to argue stuff that i think all of us basically know. But you heard adam schiff and that Mini Press Conference he had say we are going to go through...

Law and i thought i would make this easy. I wrote up a release and all that mayor bloomberg has to do is download it, ill text it, sign it and then the women or men will be free to speak and tell their own stories. It was a big moment, big moment for her last night. Shes carrying it over tonight. What do you think . Yeah, well exactly that, right . She obviously felt that the debate worked so well for her last night where she was taking on bloomberg especially on this issue that she decided to s...

Governor blagojevich, theres obviously been criticism about the president s decision to commute your sentence. Its certainly within his power to do so. What interests me since youve been out in the statements youve made youve shown no remorse for the crimes you were convicted by a jury of and are portraying yourself as a victim of persecution by prosecutors. Just about everyone though thats looked at the evidence against you says thats just false. Well, i dont think theyve looked carefully becau...

National intelligence Joseph Maguire. Maguire has been replaced by a trump loyalist with no intelligence experience. And that loyalist is bringing in one staffer who worked to discredit the Intel Community that russia interfered in the 2016 election. And to be clear, again, the Intelligence Community told this House Committee that the russians prefer donald trump. Much more on what that means ahead. Also, we have more in the democratic race. We have new word on how the Bloomberg Team is trying t...
