Page 5 - Math Question News Today

To until everything is agreed to. and this is one step on what promises to still be a long and windy road ahead. i mean, for starters, lets just do the kind of math that we can do on our hands without taking off our shoes. there were five republican senators at that announcement today. you will recall that the magic number of republican senators that democrats need to join them to defeat a filibuster of any bill is not five. its ten. are there another five republican senators who werent there to...

Maybe. but even if there are another five of them, ten republicans, that math still only works if all 50 democratic senators vote for it. there are plenty of democratic senators who have made it clear they think this scaled down compromise mini infrastructure bill is totally inadequate and not something theyre interested in working on. so thats one thing. the easy math question here. but to my eye, the really notable thing today, and i do actually think its an encouraging sign. the notable thing...

Material. and frankly some of those students were incredibly well prepared, and some of them were not. and so i guess id give a shout out to all the students who didnt get the homework done, for giving me preparation for dealing with these ceos and trump administration officials who show up in congress not ready to talk about the issues of the day. >> and the one that kind of was your first big hit was jamie dimon, the jp morgan chase ceo and i want to show one more piece of this because it invo...

Material, and, frankly, some were well prepared and some were not. i guess i give a shut out to all the students that didnt quite get the homework done for giving me a lot of preparation for dealing with corporate ceos and trump administration officials who show up not ready to talk about the issues of the day. >> and j.p. morgan chase ceo, mr. diamond. we immediately asked you to come on. i want to show one more piece of this because it involves kind of a little math question that he just could...

Imagine if somebody was running against obama polling in double digits. it would get floor media attention. now trying to cover this administration is lake trying to catch confetti. we cant cover it all. i want to talk about charlies point about, you know, kind of appealing to some of those voters, you know, the romney/clinton voters. theyre still republicans, still ideological differences. when you try to appeal to those people you run the risk. how can you appeal and then come back and talk to...

>> i guess the math question is, just as a statistical matter, are there more available democratic voters who stayed home last time or are there more of these romney/clinton potential voters? which is a bigger pot? >> i think that is a really difficult piece of math in part because it is hard to know exactly how many democratic votes were left on the table for hillary clinton in 2016. in my mind i think this may be a choice the democrats dont have to make in some sense. if youre talking about ro...

Republicans? i have never heard the republican party sitting around talking about how can we get these democrats over to our side? only democrats do that. i dont know that is a winning strategy. >> i guess the math question is, just as a statistical matter, are there more available democratic voters who stayed home last time or are there more of these romney/clinton potential voters? which is a bigger pot? >> i think that is a really difficult piece of math in part because it is hard to know exa...

Guys who were born in morris to juarez? to my response is thats okay. that sounds fine. the alternative on offer is this. >> tucker: youre seeing the people who create wealth ought to get a piece of the wealth, okay? they are not saying that. >> absolutely. >> tucker: they are saying people who had no role at all in building this country, no role at all building this wealth. could show up here from oaxaca or wherever, illegally, should get the bounty. thats not socialism. thats insanity. and it ...

Which my response is, whats so bad about that? the alternative is this. but you are >> tucker: you are saying that people who create wealth ought to get a piece of the wealth. they are not saying that. they are saying that people will have no role at all in building this country no role at all in building that wealth should show up here tomorrow from oaxaca illegally and should get the bounty. thats not socialism, thats insanity. and it doesnt work, actually. its a math question. all of us are g...

From california. mercedes, thank you so much. >> sandra: get ready for this. ill take you up on this, bill hemmer. it should be a basic level math question. its driving the twitterverse crazy. can you figure that out? think about it for a second. were going to try next. and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that theyre always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it w...
