than? we have been talking about the process. i want to remind people there is also tyre nichols. none of this will bring tyre nichols back. the process how it's been handled since won't do anything exactly for that family. but in terms of the timing of the police release and the charges and the video tomorrow night, how would you assess that? >> i think they've gone back and forth. i know they've gone back and forth on the dates and the consequencing between the announcement of the charges and the video. and i want was really the day before yesterday when they decided, you know, to celebrate them by 24 hours. i believe the rationale is let's get the charges to show people justice is being done. and then let's use the next 24 hours to try and do the community outbreak to get everybody on board with let the process go forward, and if you're going to protest, do so peacefully so, they can go into the weekend with some level of confidence they have a handle on it. that's interesting memphis seems
you sense in the country already that it has been a long time since 2008 when the country was really repulsed by the consequencing of the war. it was 10, 9, 8 years ago. people forget what it is like to read four, five, or six american names killed in a middle eastern war. iraq was tough, wait until you try iran. they're much more powerful, iran is already working to destabilize the region. my point is that we need to be very sensitive to the fact that this president that doesn't have a very sophisticated sense of international relations regards war as a way to solve political problems. >> what are the conversations that happened. do you start preparing or talking to the president about this? do you ignore it, what happens
question of the timing and some of the things that people want that are happening in phase three and phase one, but as we have addressed the bird rule to most people this archean thing in the house that don't have to deal with it in the senate and if it is loaded up with things that are stricken then it doesn't serve us any good. i think we have put together a very comprehensive approach to addressing how to actually repeal an how to actually replace. i think the president walked through what the house of freedom caucus today several of the administrative act that is secretary price would be taken with the authority granted to him by the obamacare legislation and by some of the actions that secretary -- took back in 2009. there's a lot of concern about members on some of the consequencing. so this isn't just about policy, some of it is about sequencing
manipulating an >> so when we talk about this sometimes for laypeople, we hear about the consequencing of the human genome and it can be done by a few thousand dollars by the purchase the size of a small refrigerator but it doesn't seemed to have changed our lives when you think about physics and that produced nuclear fission and nuclear bombs. when we look at the world of medicine, has it changed that much? >> absolutely. again, if you look at the history of physics, quantum physics and the decoding of that matter and atomic energy and atomic bomb, we're in the beginning of the revolution. we're now beginning to read individual human genomes and
somehow make a profit off of something that has nothing to do with nuclear materials? >> thomas, i think it is a bit of everything you just alluded to. we should keep things in perspective here. the a.p. reported that the material was cesium and not uranium or plutonium and commonly used in nuclear weapons. that's the first piece. the second piece is when we analyze risk in the military, certainly we use the probably versus consequencing capability and intent. that's the capability versus intent bit that's important here because when we look at the islamic state and as peter pointed out, they weren't necessarily involved but taking them as an example as the most likely customer, if you like, then certainly coming to chemical weapons, there has been an intent there. there was a report in march of
chlorine gas used against the kurds and an islamic state's major chemical weapons engineers who used to be a part of saddam's regime, a guy that was taken out by u.s. air strike in january of this year. so we know there's intent there. we know there is capability there on the chemical weapons side. the nuclear side is different. we don't -- there may be intent and having spoke on the a radical priest up in tripoli and lebanon, he certainly says if the islamic state got their hands on chemical or nuclear weapons they wouldn't hesitate to use them but the capability side i question and if i'm part of the western intelligence agencies, whether it's the cia or the foreign intelligence service of the russians who now have a vested interest in russia, i would look at the previous hierarchy of saddam hussein's regime trying to identify people that might have the nuclear capability within that regime and going after them now. >> certainly looking back, hindsight being 20/20, the amount of things may have shaken
crisis here. >> let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large. the public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a treasury option goes. >> the president dismissing the results from average americans saying the consequencing of not passing this will be catastrophic but my goes says in the is. gary have we ever gone through anything like we might go through, come august 2nd? >>guest: we have. three times. you have a chart of 1995 we went 4 1/2 months beyond the deadline so that is 4 1/2 months beyond this august 2nd. and the stock market had a great year and also in 1985, three months beyond and in 2002 we went three or four months so we
