Only in uniting our efforts we can provide sustainable growth of the global economy, collaborate fair rules of trade and competition, reduce the level of poverty, resolve acute social welfare issues. cope with such issues of terrorism, and propagation of nationalism, xenophobia. we are not at the threshold. we are already facing huge civilizational challenges. the ecosystem burden is going up as a result of man-made impact and natural developments and disasters. these issues want profound invest...

I think it feels a little disingenuous to tell people in a speech you expect 4% economic growth. >> its a little more than disingenuous, it defies math and gravity. were kind of touching on isaac newton and defying the laws of gravity here. this is an economy where labor force growth is very slow, thats why the threshold is so low for the fed, you dont need to generate that many jobs for the fed to say its okay to raise rates in this environment. thats important to remember on one side. on the o...

And small mindedness of politics. it drives me crazy. it is not who we are. the history of our nation is ordinary people doing extraordinary things. get on board with me to help elect a new round of leaders. who are the young up and coming democrats? it seems like the old guard is carrying all the weight right now. >> shannon, as i come close to the threshold of turning 50 years old im really parole the idea that all these old geezers want to run the democratic party. truly do agree with doug a ...

If you want to pass something that is fiscal that has to do with the governments finances and taxes and economic issues, you can have a threshold of a 51 votes for passage. thats the way the senate rules are currently arranged. its called reconciliation. what the president is referencing is getting rid of the filibuster but most republicans would be reluctant to do so. while that would make it easier to pass non-fiscal bills through congress if they ever got into the minority again they wouldnt ...

Week when senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said so far the votes arent there for a senate health care bill to get through. i think that was mcconnell who is so careful with his words, sending a signal to the white house and other republicans that as of now, things just arent working when it comes to moving health care forward, getting tax cuts jump started in terms of a legislative program, and so many other issues are sitting there on ice because the white house at the moment is consumed ...

Adversely impacted by this, and might actually do something bad and try to harm the president because they see a public figure endorsing such nefarious behavior? if we get a change in law, this might stop effects of actions like this. >> jon: the law says you cannot inflict bodily harm upon officials like the president, holding up a fake severed head doesnt cross that threshold? >> it doesnt because you have to look at the law. we all know kathy griffin is outrageous. she put yourself out there....

Votes for passage. thats the way the senate rules are currently arranged. thats called reconciliation. thats the insider jargon. but what the president is also referencing is getting rid of the filibuster. but most republicans would be reluctant to do so because while that would make it easier to pass non-fiscal bills through congress, if they ever got into the minority again, they wouldnt love the idea of democrats having such an easy threshold to pass their agenda. >> ashley and then peter. as...

There are a couple wayes it is factually wrong. first of all, we were in a position to eliminate the legislative filibuster. actually, every is able to do so. there is something unique about the united states senate. to require 60 votes is to require bipartisanship. thats where the senate can hold. thats where the country can hold together. even during the fiercely partisan times. we are forced to work together by virtue of there being a 60-vote threshold. the other part of this is very simply p...

Administration. in a lot of ways the thing that is wrong is about to be magnified by what is about to happen. >> jonathan, i do want to ask you about this tweet from the president apparently wants to do away with the legislative filibuster, what he put out on social media a short time ago, the u.s. senate should switch to 51 swroetvotes immediately and health care and tax cuts approved immediately. dems would do it. both potentially subject to the 51 vote threshold under reconciliation. regardle...
