Predicting early next. i wonder if any attorney should be giving these promises with these goal posts for any client. this is a combination of client management and fake news. i think really from the client management side, trying to do something to pacify the president to make him think there s an end in sight and at the other time trying to spin us on when they think it will wrap up to make us think there s nothing out there. there s just no indication that this thing is coming to a close. mike flynn who has entered a plea and cooperating. bob mueller didn t give him that kind of deal, that kind of sweetheart deal, just so he can close this up by the end of the year. my guess is that there s more things coming, more information out there and you don t have to look any further than the fact that remember that the president has been, by all accounts, complicit in the formulation of this letter on air force one outlining the meeting, the russia meeting, trying to hide what the purpose of that is. and people, it s christmas time and adults write fake things from santa claus but when they write a document that s fake
The office of american ip innovation as this goes forward. questions? so how exactly do you plan to expand these apprenticeships? what is the government going to do? i guess it s our understanding that it s not necessarily you re not going to put more money towards these programs so how are these going to expand? if you look in the building trades, there s almost $1 billion that s spent every year. that s all private sector money. the building trades have put together labor management organizations that jointly invest in these apprenticeship programs because they know both on the labor side and the management side that a skilled work force is critical to the building trades. and that s how it s worked for a number of years. i ve talked to several ceos. ivanka trump has spoke tone several ceos. there s excitement in the business sector. the private partnership where
so how exactly do you plan to expand these apprenticeships? what is the government going to do? as i understand it, it s not you re not going to put more money towards these programs. so how are they going to expand this if you look in the building trades, there s almost $1 billion that s spent every year. and that s all private sector money. the building trades have put together labor management organizations that jointly invest in these apprenticeship programs because they know both on the labor side and the management side that a skilled workforce is critical to the building trade. and that s how it s worked for a number of years. i ve talked to several ceos. ivanka trump has spoken to several ceos. there s excitement in the business sector. the private partnership where businesses come together with educational institutions to
President obama across the country. my understanding is that he s worked as an attorney on the management side of labor relation issues. what happens though these movements across the country, people that have seen success like los angeles and seattle? do these movements go any further under an alexseattle, d go under the acosta reign at the department of labor? what s terrific about those movements is they are not depending upon government. they are bringing pressure on government and employers to do the right thing. in this case i think they can expect that the labor department is going to sit on the sidelines. it s not going to help for example, raise the minimum wage, to improve overtime standards, improve worker safety and health. but as long as the worker based movements are driving the agenda and pushing for better live force working people, particularly those who are stuck in low wage, low skill jobs that make it very, very difficult for them to support their families, i think the agenda is going to advance. former acting labor secretary, seth harris, good to
Even if he is in his job tomorrow, which i hope happens, there is still, as you said, a vacuum, not just on the management side but on the policy side. and we should point out that steve bannon, arguably, is clearing that vacuum with foreign policy decisions. that s what mt concerns me about the executive order, that there was no apparent coordination or feedback from four key agencies directly affected, homeland security, state defense and justice. homeland says they weighed in but the argument is whether they were overruled at the last moment when some of the visa issues were addressed. it seems clear that the executive order was drafted by an extremely small group and i have seen executive orders much less complex than this that were debated, discussed, dissected far more rigorously than this one. if you don t trust professionals, public servants to help you on foreign policy,
Breitbart is criticized as a far right wing echo chamber. it s important that we understand that s happening. we shouldn t treat it like it s an exotic enterprise. joining me to discuss all this is the senior editor at large of breitbart. joel, great to see you. good to be with you. i understand you re on the management side of breitbart but i wanted to ask you about the readership and the audience. when you re writing for the site, who do you picture as the breitbart reader? i feel like breitbart gets ster stereotyped. who is your audience? i think we re a conservative news site. we were founded on the idea that ordinary american s have a stor to tell. if you listen to breitbart news daily, five days a week, three
Top t officials at the pentagon this week about the transition. he said i sure hope the trump people understand the management side of this. they need to choose a secretary of defense on a particular model but then they need to decide the number two guys. a chief operating officer, a chief financial officer? is it a chief management officer. different models. those are the kind of questions the transition teams need to focus on. otherwise the agencies begin to sputter in the first six months of an administration and then you are really stuck because you can t get your program through. donald trump wants to govern effectively but he needs a team and clear sense of how the place works. if he had been screaming about draining the swamp, that s tough. the first four maybe to six announcements, appointments, those define. you have to get somebody that knows how to run the pentagon. that s done it before or been close to somebody that s done it before. same thing with the cia.
Testimony what sort of c.o.o. is reince priebus, sara? the rnc, we saw quite a bit of that. he is someone who thinks forward, thinks long term. that s why we saw the investment in the ground game and the data and digital efforts. and sticks around. he was the longest serving republican chairman which shows he likes to see the job through. i think that with a unified republican government holding the senate, holding the house and now the white house, it s very important to have someone like reince who can see the whole board. so when you re looking at moving forward legislation, that s going involve a lot of different players and that s something that reince really has excelled at at the rnc. it s why the republicans have had such a sturdy bench over the last four years until particular something that democrats did not have. so it s a great move. i think reince will be very good at the management side of this in particular, and i think it s a great nod to conservatives
This needs the same 24/7 attention by people to make sure it s not only working well and continues to work well but constantly improving and actually doing things better, giving a better shopping experience for people. you cannot say it s solved in some ways. it s a constant upgrade, constant improvement activity. that s the psychology we need going in in the management side of things. zeke, people have to the white house has to stress the benefits. the bottom line republicans have no alternative they have suggested. they can criticizes this as much as they want. it s a target. change the benefits those people will be getting from health care. over the last week, we ve begun to hear stories, people who went on websites, whether state website or federal website and found good deals. people who didn t have insurance or woefully underinsured or
They were going to pick winners and losers. stuart: would do you blame? guest: no doubt who is to blame. the auto task force was basically orchestrating every bit of the g.m. bankruptcy including our pension termination, the top offs to the unions. its with all being done by that group, the auto task force with concurrence from the administration. stuart: you were an executive, on the management side of things. the management people lost a third, maybe 40 percent of their pensions. the union said of things, they were made whole. they losting in. government money went to the unions is that the split? is that how it came down? guest: that is exactly the split. i might point out that i might have been in management, but most of the salary retirees were secretaries, clerks, engineers, they were not senior executives. they are regular working people who worked side by side with the
