vance, everybody. "hillbilly elegy" is available now. we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ on september 9, 2010, pg&e learned a tragic lesson we can never forget. this gas pipeline ruptured in san bruno. the explosion and fire killed eight people. pg&e was convicted of six felony charges including five violations of the u.s. pipeline safety act and obstructing an ntsb investigation. pg&e was fined, placed under an outside monitor, given five years of probation, and required to perform 10,000 hours of community service. we are deeply sorry. we failed our customers in san bruno. while an apology alone will never be enough, actions can make pg&e safer. and that's why we've replaced hundreds of miles of gas pipeline, adopted new leak detection technology that is one-thousand times more sensitive, and built a state-of-the-art gas operations center. we can never forget what happened in san bruno. that's why we're working every day to make pg&e the safest energy company in the nation.

speakers include jd vance and kevin williamson. this is 40 minutes. i'm fellow at the national review institute. and i'm here with two people who really don't need any introduction. let's start on the far side, this is a jd vance, who practically redefined the term right time, right book. ath "hillbilly elegy," beautifully written book, a fantastic work and trying not to hate him for that quality on his first ever book. he's also -- he just wrote yesterday, going back to ohio, columbus, ohio, where unfortunately he'll be doomed to watch second tier football for the rest of his life. [laughter] look, i am sorry, i am from the southeastern conference. i get to say that. and to my immediate right, kevin williamson, almost redefined the term right piece, right time, writing about working class communities to so much twitter acclaim in the election season. and from texas. i live in the world famous mule capital of the world, columbia , tennessee, home of the annual mule day festival, which is as i like to call it, redneck woodstock. and so we're here to ta

vance, author

joining me now for perspective, david corn and yahoo news investigative michael is could have and joyce vance. how would an immunity deal work here if he ever got one? >> so immunity in this case could come from one of two sources, actually. it could come from the justice department. that seems unlikely. prosecutors don't like to tip their hand too early in an investigation and offer immunity before they know all the facts. it is too much like buying a pig in the poke. the other potential source for immunity would, of course, be from one of the congressional subcommittees involved in the investigation. that could either be through a two-thirds vote by the full subcommittee. again that, seems unlikely given the fallout of the ollie north prosecution and the iran-contra scandal in which north's successful prosecution was ult platly reversed on appeal because of the immunity grant. >> right. you're basically saying using this especially in the congressional context is dicey and cuts against some of the investigative interests there. david, you have been on the story since the beginning. you were

nominations are dealt with it is easy to confuse the unique role of the senate to have barriers between vance legislation and basically since 1789 that has been applied to legislation as we want to be sure the minority is heard before we move forward with there was never a supermajority for presidential nominations for tourism possible to find before 1968 any case for the senate came together to say a we will decide we will not have a vote on this judge not every judge got a photo and they did the majority of the senators determine if the judge would go on the court or not to members today did not get 60 votes tho clarence thomas, 52.ut two justice alito 58. nobody thought they needed 60 votes because that was never part of the structureve of our judges got to the courts so we have returned the senate budget practice of presidential nomineesrs that over 214 years was the way the nominees were always dealt with.013, the band in 2013 the senate controlled they decided every nomination available to them every judge there was a vacancy would be determined by a simple majority.ink, sho from that m

so in april, the end of april or middle of april, cy vance comes back from europe, and he says, mr. president, i've got great news, the europeans have brought into -- finally, after five months -- have bought into embargoes against iran. and i, of course, promised them that we're not going to have any military action against iran, and so the world wonderful. and president carter says, cy, i've got to tell you something, we're going to have a military operation in five days. so cy says, mr. president, here's my resignation. and they went ahead and had the military operation. now, this lieutenant general that i used to talk with, we used to have lunch about once a month together. he, i asked him exactly that question, what were the odds? and he said if you talked to the individual commanders, the ranger commander, charlie beckwith of delta force, the marine pilots that flew the helicopters, the c-130 pilots, anybody involved with it, each of them would say we can do our job. we are fully confident that we can succeed in our job. talking to this lieutenant general who was in daily cont

vance. z salina, how do you explain the numbers? the historic low, but with, you could argue, unprecedented resolve among the base. >> i think what we're seeing is essentially nothing has changed since november 8th at around midnight where trump voters are really happy and optimistic. the people that did not vote for him are sort of in shock and can't believe it. people that didn't vote for him still can't believe trump supporters are happy and optimistic. in american politics, geography is everything in polling. if you look at the polling numbers. if you look at the inner cities and first ring out, suburbs, he is in about 29% or lower in approval ratings. if you go into the second and third tier out, the rural areas, his numbers are soaring. like you said. incredibly positive. >> the people you talked to, what are they enthusiastic about in the first 100 days, salena? >> first of all, they love the supreme court pick. they are just incredibly pleased with that. they are also looking at the way he approaches government. they like he

vance on c-span all over the place talk about this book so i seller troying to explain this more or less an he does an interesting job with it. >> autumn menendez do you say i better pick that up?es >> not usually. i usually rely on --e staff bo about friends this on tyranny recommended by my friend novelist christina garcia and i bought it immediately and it wasn't -- this as well but trying to explain the last election ratter the next one. trying to save us. excuse me. [laughter] and i also get recommendations from other books, i mean, books aren't like good friends. they lead you to good books. and, in fact, that while they have a great u blurb for this book on tyranny, and it is kind of a tree of -- association that is how i find any books and book reviews things like that. >>very rarely i'm an outliar. don't live on the edge.th they're in the outside looking in, and i'm always looking for that book written -- no one has told me about. i don't have to worry about the one that everybody has heard about. i know it will be read taken care of and read my many readers and i'm alwaysing lo

vance, author of "a memoir of a family and culture in crisis," jd, let's get right to you, showing the president has a dismalratine -- rating, showinge is at 44%, is this why we're seeing a white house scramble? >> obviously not good news for the president. >> not only scrambling -- >> it's jd. >> i'm sorry. >> yeah. well -- like you said, don, it's definitely not good news for the president so far. i don't know if i describe them as scrambling for a win, but the problem with his approval ratings is it doesn't give him any solid way to govern. you have to negotiate from a position of strength and it's hard to do that when you're at a 44-45% approval rating. >> david, since you're ready to go, this is for you, this poll shows that 66% of americans think the president has done a poor job of putting together a team of top advisers, 50% of the public doesn't think he is keeping his campaign promises. what does it say? is he a deal-maker in chief or the deal-maker he promised out on the campaign trail? >> well, first of all, don, he has been slow on making appointments and department after

vance you know i think on c-span and all over the place talk about this book. so i understand why it's such a big seller trying to explain this selection more or less. and he does an interesting way. >> not usually pick it up but i rely on the staff books and books or friends this on tyranny was recommended by my friend the novelist christina garcia. and i bought it immediately and it wasn't -- this point at all but also tries to explain last selection or rather next one trying to save us. [laughter] excuse me and i also get recommendations from other books i mean books aren't like good friends they lead you to good books, in fact, they have a really great blurb for this book on tyranny and it is really coif a tree of association that is how i find my bock and book reviews things like that. >> jennifer. >> very rarely you know, i'm an outliar. writers are for the most part live on the edge on outside looking in, and i'm always looking for that book that no one has had told me about. i don't have to worry about one that everybody has heard about. i know it will

brown's $52 billion transportation plan cleared a legislative hurdle today and vance is to the full state senate. >> the massive project will be paid for by an increase of the state gas tax and the hiking vehicle registration fees. as mike lori tells us, the governor himself made his case to lawmakers earlier today. >> california's crumbling roads need repair. democrats and republicans both agree on that. but the question is, who will pay for? >> the roads are broken, and they are getting worse and will not get better unless we get a significant injection of money. >> governor. brown is sporting a gas tax hike of $.12 a gallon along with higher dmv fees to generate 52 along with higher dmv fees to generate $52 billion and road repairs within the next 10 years. the gas tax would include $15 billion for fixing potholes on local roads. 15 billion for highway repairs, and 4 billion in bridge and culvert repairs. supporters are now using tv ads like this one to pressure lawmakers. the ads are sponsored by the alliance for california jobs. the group comprised of heavy construction companies and

is that eaton vance? >> that's right, yeah. we have a tough job. we're all predicting a future, which is difficult task. >> it is. >> to say the least. >> he's never wrong about -- thompson -- at least i've never seen it. are those the right areas to be in, based on what you're expecting for the next two quarters of earnings? >> earnings growth looks good. listen, i think your trouble spots are industrials, and basically consumer discretionary, those are our warnings spots, both going to come in negative. consumer discretionary, expecting a down 4% this quarter, which is, you know, a little unusual. haven't seen that since the second quarter of 2009. we were in recession. but overall, s&p earnings expected to bring in about 10%, 9.9%. interesting enough, two really nice harbingers, right, financials, expecting about 16.1%, despite the fact the yield curve has actually flattened from the traditional way, and technology, up 16.5%, those usually precede good things in the market. so, feeling reasonably good about the market. a little asymmetric around
