there has been a change recently, where for the first time ever, some of the risk in the national flood insurance program was seated to pride it reinsurers, insurers for insurance companies, so historically, the u.s. treasury has borne all of the risk, and this is part of the reason why in program is $25 billion debt. recently, some share of the risks for severe flood events has been ceded to private reinsurers. respect toth hurricane harvey, no tropical storm harvey, it appears that the private reinsurance sector, and that involves insurers from around the world, for the first time ever pay on the claims, a good move to protect taxpayers. be specific, the national flood insurance program has coverage in place and will cover the first $4 billion of loss and inality and then for losses excess, up to $8 billion and up to 26% of that will be paid for by private reinsurers. i expect for the first time ever, reinsurers will participate in losses related to get events. host: you heard him talk about andcurrent this go status the demand on it. you can ask him questions. robert hartwig from uni

miss christianson, the creek fires in the helena national forests are burning in the location of the stonewall vegetation management project. this was identified by the for service and local collaborative as an area in need of restorative treatment and in need of hazardous fuel reduction. this project was blocked through injunction due to the disastrous cottonwood decision. now we have intense wildfires burning over 8000 acres. one can only wonder implementing the project without delay might have made a difference. this is infuriating. my question is, was the stonewall project conceived through a collaborative process? did the forest service do robust scientific analysis in preparing the project? chief christiansen: yes, senator, we did. sen. daines: after the injunction with the stonewall project reduced the area susceptibility to wildfire? chief christiansen: for this particular project, i cannot say for certain. in the over 3000 assessments of hazardous treatments we assessed, 90% of them, when tested by wildfire, has changed the behavior of the fire. sen. daines: i'm out of time.

the "national enquirer" does not publish anything that donald trump does not want the "national enquirer" to accomplish. so paul manafort has every right to read the "national enquirer" today as an attack on him authorized by donald trump. it may be the most unwise attack donald trump has ever launched because as the special prosecutor closes in on paul manafort, paul manafort will be facing the possibility of five years in federal prison on possible tax evasion charges for what could be tens of millions of dollars in cash that was paid for activities paul manafort performed involving the country of ukraine, where a ledger was found indicating that paul manafort was paid $17 million in cash by the then pro-putin political party in ukraine. special prosecutor robert mueller may have probable cause of some other crimes committed by paul manafort, all of which can turn out to be reasons paul manafort might want to cooperate with the special prosecutor and provide testimony of crimes committed by others in order to save himself from prison, including the possibility of paul manafort testifyi

the implementation of the national plan. a downturn in the economy combined with carter's fiscal conservatism left little room for the programs they hope for. when bella abzug criticized the president publicly, he fired her unceremoniously as head of his advisory committee for women and made her into a feminist martyr. many feminist leaders endorsed teddy kennedy for nomination. and when carter lost, his aide said the feminist had gotten in ronald reagan "what they richly deserved." carter continue to reach out to women's rights advocates and at the same time to try to mend fences with social conservatives but seems to alienate both in the process. when i interviewed him and asked him about them, he went off on a tirade about how upset he was that the feminist were so upset with him. his neck got red, he clenched his face and he was saying, "if i didn't agree with them on everything, they gave me credit for being with them on nothing." i said, "hold on. the social conservatives turned against you, too." he goes, yeah, "but t

and then the founder of the national park service, steven mather, who was the first director of the national park service, a well-connected person, a very effective advocate for the parks. somebody to really conjure with, well, i guess to say to yourself, what would have happened with the national park service if steven mather weren't in the picture. he was really effective. it's hard, i'm not going to say oh, it would never have happened, but he certainly was a very forceful presence in the creation of the park service. how did he get to be such a well-connected, well-set-up person? borax miner. he was a miner of the material called borax, used in cleaning. that is not him, you understand. that's a -- so, he made his fortune in borax mining, and that positioned him to go into a very effective form of advocacy for the park. this is not a very consequential paradox, but i love it, because it does irritate foresters very much that pinchot was an opponent of alcohol. foresters. people who work for the forest service, and people who work in private lands forestry, they are not opponents of alcoh

socialist principles in the interest of the nation. socialists are consistently anti-national and in favor of class struggle rather the national unification. when socialists -- rather fascists had gained power, they jettisoned and discarded any trappings of socialism or egalitarianism. they are fundamentally different. it is really an attempt by the thet-wing to mar historical record. you can make the record right-wing libertarianism is from from fascism, by fascism is by no means a left-wing mode of thought. host: cynthia from new york, new york, a democrat. caller: hi. i became a democrat to support bernie sanders. i hung around after because you have two be a democrat to vote in the primaries. that the only game in town in new york. aside from that, we are talking about antifa. when i was in new york in the 1980's we had big skinhead movements. to burn a flag in washington square park on july4, the year there having the controversy in taxes over the communist burning the flag. this is a free speech support kind of demonstration. for
