5:36 am
thought has to change a little bit in the sense that austerity first, first of all is a world without sense. i never use it. but fiscal discipline has to stay. we need, in italy, we have paid huge prices in the last decades for not sticking to fiscal discipline. but we need to change the mind of the germans, and it is not impossible. believe me. by first persuading them that serious, genuine, public sector investment is not a violation of fiscal discipline. this is the only change, which is really needed. francine: can we take a step back. what exactly does this historic moment mean? is this just the beginning of the end of the european project? it?we going see

5:39 am
domestic politicians in all will use it for the countries' inabilities at home. so there's enough to change in mean, politics has to become more serious. it's ads simple as that, if we want europe to floorish. for example, they called red to lose this german elections, which he did inrder to introduce the euro. and where are the politicians today that would be ready to do something like that? francine: yes. it's extremely difficult to find and difficult to see exactly where you see energy and i guess the will to renegotiate in something that seems well balanced. now, this is a picture for the

5:46 am
does that help or hurt banks right now? >> most banks have got capital structures that are 90 debt and 10% equity. so what's happening in the business world and balance sheets multiplies or divides hugely at the equity level. so it's sensible. although i would because ewan credit's got -- i'm -- ladies that be biggest-growing lender in the past this one. they are not really -- they were thinking about appointing -- >> because of the way regulator works now and essentially asking you to put up more capital to do the merger, the merger route doesn't work. tom: chris, you're the expert on this, what's the escape for the banks if they don't have

all of this comes together. tom: you have the mother of all victory laps. what does it mean for gdp, when you talk to the economics teams, if you are going to brief mr. nimble this morning, what does this mean for global gdp and what does it mean for u.k. gdp? guest: we spoke about this before. when we made the forecast, the consensus forecast was 3.5% treasuries. people were talking about said funds -- fed funds above that. but in reality is that the cyclical -- the reverting type of forecast that you get out there is gradually moving to our view on the world. we had a much more structural view and when you see the stuff from williams about the all-natural -- we saw that in the u.k. maybe two or three
6:10 am
years ago, so i think what is happening is those views are cyclicalodox, and more , and they are converging are structural view. and it took into account demographics, more technical factors about the balance sheet. and actually they cannot converge on the save you from different angles. guest: you could say, if you are data dependent, looking at the numbers, gdp number, converging. rather than the tenured rate -- 10 year rate going to the gdp, the db -- gdp rate goes to the 10 year rate. francine: we'll take a look at boris johnson. >> i want to talk about david cameron who spoke earlier, and i speak for michael in saying house that i am in that he has decided to step down, but obviously i respect the

have been doing our job for us. they hire us to deal with the hard questions and this year we gave them one of the biggest and toughest questions of all. some people are now saying that was wrong, the people should never have been asked in this way. i disagree. i believe it was entirely right and inevitable, and indeed, there is no way of dealing with a decision on this scale except by putting it to the people. because in the end, this question is about the people, the right of the people this country to settle their own destiny. it is about the very principles of our democracy. the rights of all of us to elect and remove the people who make the key decisions in their
6:13 am
lives. and i think that the electorate have surged in their hearts -- searched in their hearts and answered as easily as they can, to a scale we have never seen before, in this country. they have decided it is time to vote to take back control. from the european union that has become too remote, to opaque, is not -- for the people it meant to serve. in voting to leave the eu, it is vital to stress that there is no need for hate, and as the prime minister has said, nothing can change over the short term except that work will need to begin on how to extricate this country from the supranational system. and as the prime minister has rightly said, there is no need
6:14 am
to invoke article 50. and to those who may be anxious, at home or abroad, this does not mean that the united kingdom will be in anyway less united, nor indeed does it mean it will be any less european. i want to speak to the millions of people, directly to the millions of people, who did not vote for this outcome. especially young people, who may feel that this decision in some up anvolves putting drawbridge or any kind of isolationism on because i think the very opposite is true. we cannot turn our backs on europe, we are part of europe, our children and our grandchildren will continue to have a wonderful future and europeans traveling to the continent understanding the languages and cultures that make
6:15 am
up our common european civilization. continuing to interact with the people of other countries in a way that is open and friendly and outward looking. and i want to reassure everybody that in my view, as a result, britain will continue to be a great european power, leading discussions on foreign policy and defense and intelligence sharing and all of the work that currently goes on to make our world safer. but there is simply no need in the 21st century to be part of a federal system of government that is based in brussels, that is imitated nowhere else on earth. it was a noble idea for its time, it is no longer right for this country. and it is the essence of our case that young people in this country can look forward to a
6:16 am
more secure and more prosperous future, if we take back the democratic control that is the foundation of our economic prosperity. i believe we now have a glorious opportunity, we can pass on -- pass laws and said taxes according to the needs of the u.k. economy. we can control our own borders in a way that is not discriminatory, but fair and balanced. and take the wind out of the sails of the extremists and those that would play politics with immigration. voiceall, we can find our in the world again. a voice that is commensurate with the fifth biggest economy on earth. humane, andberal, extraordinarily -- an extraordinary force for good in
6:17 am
the world. and the most precious thing this country has given the continent, the idea of parliament terry democracy -- parliamentary democracy. this thursday, yesterday, i believe the british people have spoken up for democracy. in britain, and across europe. and i think we can be very proud of the result. thank you finally to everybody who voted leave, the extraordinary and positive campaign that you brought. thank you. [applause] johnson in celebration, but with humility. i thought that he was most gracious toward the prime minister. francine: people are talking about a possible general election and we understand that the various campaigns or parties are trying to line up their ducks. it is an irony that we just
6:18 am
heard boris johnson and we are about it here -- about to hear from donald trump in a couple of minutes. he was really in the controversy. we talk about this on wednesday. the pro-remain side, he compared them to nazis. i do not know how the tory party can come back on that. tom: robin, the one phrase i heard there was glorious opportunity. i believe there was a glorious revolution. is this a glorious revolution? guest: it is a seismic moment as people have said about british politics, because the question is, which party does boris johnson lead or act to lead with others of, in the sense that the conservative party is now split for much of their space, it is perhaps taking into its fold the
6:19 am
independent party voters. the labor party is split from their base, where many of the people who voted out, they were labor supporters. so the party itself -- all revolutions, they start glorious, but they can end up bloody. we have not yet seen the real answer any inside the british policy. tom: the financial blood? the 1930's, using combinations. >> there is a defining utilization going on -- defin ancialization. maybe in some cases it will accelerate. these are not well-positioned. francine: what are the chances of a general election and what does that do to u.k. financials and what it force them to cut rates no matter what? >> for me? francine: for you.
6:20 am
>> i do not think we will see a general election. i wonder what the consensus will be for the conservative party to do that. if you think about it, why would they want to do that? guest: they do not need to right now. you would expose those divisions within the parties. francine: right. but maybe it is labor's big chance. guest: it will be the government. francine: we are trying to understand the ramifications. this is a question to stephen, when you look at the repercussions of this, probably the main with the toughest job is thomas jordan today. guest: yes. we need to look at those central banks around the u.k. and the eurozone, they are affected because of the currency shift and the chart you have joined the risk. the big spike on the left-hand side is the cap and they do not want to go back in that direction, so the question is,
6:21 am
will they intervene? tom: the terminal has shown this for many times. this talks to me about adjacencies, there is adjacencies on the issues. they are adjacencies for butterfly flapping in scotland today, it is flapping in korea today, isn't it? >> throughout the world, the sense that the west has lost itself -- its self-confidence, you haven't united states that is -- you have a united states that is seeking leadership -- tom: we have to start right now. is janet yellen at the point where she does not raise rates? many talking about it this morning. but even when we begin to frame a negative rate discussion and the united states or the
6:22 am
applicable, the rate cut by the federal reserve system. >> and to think a couple of months ago it was four times a year. tom: i will get you in trouble. can you make a prediction? >> there will not be any hike. it was out of the question for june, totally out of the question for july. they will not in september. the question now -- francine: they will never hike? >> they are done. actually, that is not just my opinion. look at where the market is today. it seems that the fed midst the opportunity -- missed the opportunity, they missed the chance. they may put the blame on the u.k. at the moment, before that i was greece. they will not hike. get over it. francine: well there be another brexit? we are seeing some much on the u.k. today. tom: i think you are right. spain. >> i think the correct thought
6:23 am
process is to look for the next fault line. where is it? it may not be in europe. obviously, there will be elections in referendums coming out and it really does go all over the eurozone. and the ecb is running out of tours. the government does not seem to consensus hase broken down. tom: we will go to robin. changed germany, everybody reeling from the last 24 hours, so what will you look and think about over the weekend, as the reset for the european experiment? guest: this is the dilemma that europe faces, the place around it needs to organize is the european governments, but the place it will most exposed the
6:24 am
loss of credibility will be to unify around the eurozone governments, so it is a delicate balancing act by the french and the germans, to show that together their focus will be on security, defense, terrorism, and where they can send signals about the future of europe around peoples insecurities, rather than create a big new plan. germany is very vulnerable. tom: we have headlines. francine: remember when it was that there would not be preferential treatment. tom: they said that three days ago. francine: he says, first of all, there will be no read negotiation -- -- the no ringing theegotiation, expect decision asap. this is an unprecedented situation, we are united in response. wants to jump in. guest: i am listening to boris johnson their carefully and he
6:25 am
said, we need to extricate ourselves from the supranational structures. johnson has a halfway house he is looking for. somehow, this is where -- tom: and to keep scotland within the united kingdom. guest: that was his first point. we will not be less united. francine: or less european. >> i heard that. he did not specify european supranational and the other thing this morning, they were very quick to say that the u.k. may or may not be downgraded. my sense was, i do not care. it does not matter. tom: we have a special guest. francine: the chief macro strategist at blackrock, rupert, good to have you. you know treasury. to george osborne, will he run for leadership or is
6:26 am
that all for him? >> i think i should let him set out his plans. the situation is the government will continue in place until october, so it is not a question that arises straightaway, we will have a conservative election to see who will be the next prime minister and at the beginning of october, when the prime minister takes office, it will be up to them to choose a new cabinet. i would not write radical changes -- i would not expect radical changes until then. francine: what needs to happen in the next two hours or two days for the markets not to continue taking? -- tanking. >> they have come back a little bit already and one thing they are corresponding to, you heard from david cameron and boris johnson, they say that nothing will happen very quickly. it will take time. david cameron rina -- announcing his resignation. it is not happening straight away. he has not triggered article 50,
6:27 am
the legal process you need to go to -- through to leave the european union. and one of the candidates will have to do that job. that in itself is reassuring. tom: we have a lot going on. at this moment, the first minister of scotland is speaking. she spoke with us yesterday. it was a piercing interview on scotland and their unique relationship with europe. the first minister speaking right now. we will listen in. >> it was our own referendum on independence that would end a relationship with the european union -- and to protect it. indeed for many people, the supporters for remaining in the you -- in the eu was a driver to stay within the u.k. it was no doubt that yesterday's result represented a significant change of the circumstances in which scotland voted against
6:28 am
independence in 2014. my job now is to act responsibly and in the interest of all of scotland. and that is what i intend to do. the cabinet will meet tomorrow morning to discuss our next steps in more detail, but i want you to know some immediate priorities. first my we have an urgent job to do. i spoke a short while ago to the government of the bank of england to discuss plans to reissue the market and -- financial stability. this afternoon, we will be engaged with discussions with stakeholders, particularly in the business immunity, to emphasize that we are still firmly in the eu and trade and business should continue as normal. we are determined that scholarly -- that scotland will continue to be a stable place to do business. the committee will meet later
6:29 am
this afternoon to oversee these immediate actions. secondly, i want to make it absolutely clear that i intend to take all possible steps and --lore all options to give on how those in scotland voted, to secure a place in the eu and in the single market, in particular. and i have made clear to the prime minister this morning the scottish government must be directly involved in all decisions about the next steps u.k. government intends to take. we will also be seeking direct discussions with the eu institutions and member states, including the earliest possible meeting with the president of the european commission. i will also be communicating over this weekend with each eu member state to make clear that scotland has voted to stay in the eu and i intend to discuss all options for doing so.
6:30 am
-- i should say however also should say i have also spoken with -- and he is play with this objective in london, so that there is, cause between us. -- common cause between us. this will be led by the government can't i will seek the involvement -- government, but i will it take the involvement of the government at every step and i will make a statement to the chamber on tuesday. i will also make a further statement following tomorrow's meeting of the scottish cabinet. the issuet me address of a second independence referendum. was -- said this -- tom: we have been listening to the first minister of scotland, with her many messages in edinburgh. we have guests with us, rupert harrison, rupert what i would like to talk about is a
6:31 am
blistering essay that was written on elites. we are surrounded by elites in andon, chatted house, yourself, how will be elites need to change and change the united kingdom? guest: that is a good question. it will take time to figure that out. but i think we should not generalize too much, particularly in europe and these issues are different in every country. it will take days, weeks, months to do this, but there was to fundamental issues which were very specific and not just a kick against the elite. one was on immigration, which has an element of that to it, because in the u.k. and other countries, they have under him and made -- they have underestimated how people feel about immigration.
6:32 am
and one is u.k. specific, how we feel about ourselves as a country and the sovereignty and our ability to govern ourselves. we cannot extrapolate much, but the issue of immigration is something that applies in many countries around the world and if we do not share that we can deal with it will be something that will continue to dog us. tom: rupert, thank you. the first minister of scotland with important headlines, they -- there have been a lot of people looking to explore options on scotland's eu membership. francine: the vote was, england was split and scotland was firmly in the eu. the price of oil is going down. but a very quick comment on this, how significant is it that she is now saying a referendum is on the table. if they do not want to leave the eu, who will they do a
6:33 am
be asap?m -- will it guest: you cannot afford to lose two. they will see what kind of deal the u.k. gets with the eu before they were about terms in which they would leave and they want to see how this stabilizes the price of oil. economic arguments can really hold. tom: and i want to point out that the market are not stabilized right now. we have a bit of a roll. 136 and 88 for sterling. to provide us with important perspective, a former member of the bank of england, truly one of america's experts on political economy in germany, adam pozen joins us. adam, on the calendar this morning, the chancellor of germany, so what will you want to listen for from angela merk el.
6:34 am
guest: obviously, she is about the most important person outside of the u.k. at the moment in terms of what she will say. the biggest thing will be how much distance she chooses to put between her and the statements about playing hardball with the u.k. i think the answer is she actually will not, she will be less rude about it, but there will be very little distance. and the second thing to look for, what she says about timing. does she tried to say, this will be a process and it will take a say,, or does she said, -- that they are about to invoke article 50, select revolve -- so let's resolve this as quickly as possible. but timing is the second thing. and the third, any commentary on how this affects stimulus from either the ecb or from the fiscal side in europe.
6:35 am
i did not expect her to say much, but it will be pretty clear. francine: does this have the potential to put world growth in a recession? if you look at global markets, the pound is down to the isopean losses on record, this uglier than we thought it would be? guest: it is not uglier than i thought it would be. this goes to what rupert is saying, you can attack experts, but at some point reality matters. i expected a 20% fall in the pound. crater in u.k.a investment. and now they have to rethink production. and i did expect currencies to move positive against the pound, europe negative against yen. said -- thisthey
6:36 am
is what you're going to get. pozen.t's stay with dr. bring of the images of the first minister of scotland. we are waiting for donald trump in scotland, as well. adam posen, a victory lap today for stephen major who called for 1.50% 10 year and another victory lap for your colleague. he has been adamant about how we work through this, we have immediate crisis as we are living this morning, and then we move on. recant for us professor blaine blanchard's moment about working out this in history. guest: the point is you need to deal with the hand you have got. thate coke -- cope is europe brings practical steps
6:37 am
for how to you -- move the europe area forward, that means better delivery, even though it will be harder politically. and emphasizing the reality that olivier and i spoke about, called reality check publication. onte andwhat mark c others are saying, that the financial world will take a hit, but is far more resilient than it was precrisis. and you hope that the u.k. becomes a learning point, that if you play games with right-wing populist and ignore economic reality, there is a cost. tom: adam, thank you so much. dr. pozen at the peterson institute in washington. francine: i want to pick up on something that adam said and pose a question. there are two scenarios. one, the european union
6:38 am
disintegrates and we will have more referendums. or that this shocks the eu into a better run eu. guest: i do not think it is quite as binary, i think that the eu has a choice. i think there will be a learning affect from the way that populism played out in the u.k. that will allow the other countries in the eu to try to adjust. but the reality is, the most important reforms, they are ones that the british government intended to leave behind, in particular the service market. they have been a big pleasure in this -- pusher in this space, particularly because these service markets are not with -- markets open. tom: robin, you are going to make me smarter right now because i'm clueless on article
6:39 am
50. it sounds like something from a science fiction movie. what is article 50 and why we care about it? guest: it is the legal structure under which a country that uses to leave the eu, must leave the eu. i do not know all the details. but it has never been used before. it will be the first time it has been tried. it provides a two-year window in which they organize with the leaving country. the other 27% the deal -- 27 present the deal to the leaving country. it is like rejoining the eu but in reverse. francine: one of the other 27, perhaps the most important, angela merkel who is speaking right now, expressing deep regret about the vote, and she said that she will address the lower house on tuesday, but she says this is a turning point for european integration and
6:40 am
unification. tom: and there was a conversation we heard from the first minister. for those in america, looking at the equity market in the united states, the german stock exchange is when you make up things at the bottom of the month. stephen majors, look at the chart. it is rolling over. the markets are not catching a bid this morning. guest: that tells you something about people's view of german exports, given that the u.k. is a very important market for german exports. it tells you a lot about risk assets. it tells you that the world has been over exuberant and overly optimistic about recovery, so it is a wake-up call. it is time to smell the coffee. tom: that different in 10 year and to yield did not fly -- flatten overnight.
6:41 am
what about that relationship that pros like you worry about, essentially unchanged. guest: i think it has gone to the lowest level it could right now. actually, the two-year rate has gone 50 basis points and that says that the french will not do anything. and to flatten from here, it will be very difficult, because the fed knows that in the forward and on an adjusted basis, the curve is close to inversion. francine: we're going to go to angela merkael. >> contributes to globalization, shapes globalization, and wants to shape globalization with the others. it is a unique solidarity, for freedomrosperity, and and only that way we will be able to stand up for our values,
6:42 am
for freedom, for independent, and our interests, social, economical, domestic and foreign policy. we will be able to stand up for them in the global competition. s need tor conclusion be drawn with awareness of history from the u.k. brexit, even if it is unimaginable to us, we should never forget that the idea of the european unification was one of peace. after centuries of terrible bloodshed, the founders of the toopean union found the way come together for peace, manifesting in the treaties of rome for nearly 60 years now, it remains for the future. anything else, but a given.
6:43 am
we all see that the world is evolved and it is at unrest. we feel the consequences of the lack of freedom, of conflict, in our immediate vicinity that has cost so many lives and had driven so many others from their homes. germany has a special interest and a special responsibility to make sure that the european unification is successful. that is why i spoke with the president of the european parliament and the french hollande, and asked the leader of italy for talks. on wednesday, next week, we will continue discussion with the other has of -- heads of state in brussels. for the exit of the member of the european union, there is a very clear and regulated
6:44 am
procedure in the treaty. this procedure previews several years of negotiations, at the end of what the details -- which the details of the exit -- merkele: angela talking about the exit. and also the people's bank of china saying that they have made plans for brexit, they say that china will continue to be prudent with monetary policy, and that they will keep the exchange rate stable. we will see what happens. maybe this will make their life easier, because we may not see a rate hike from janet yellen anytime soon. with us stephen major. mark my thank you for joining us -- mark, thank you for joining us. what will it take for the markets to find a floor? that the initial
6:45 am
reaction is understandable, given that the markets were really, i surprised. couple of things, you have seen the markets trade off of the lows so far. one of the things we are watching closely is credit spreads and other spreads in europe, within what we expect. so if those things hold, i think that we can look beyond some of the initial panic toward what is still working. but the other thing i would say, we need to keep in mind that this is a global event. we have had china, and on -- comment on it, and we need to see the asian reaction to the u.s. close on friday before we see one cycle of this turnaround.
6:46 am
francine: mark, donald trump is expected to take the podium in scotland, this this make you -- does this make you uneasy about the presidential election and what would that mean for the markets? >> there is a couple of very clear political crosses i think. expressed it a bit, but people may not realize the status quo of europe unchanged -- tom: we will have to go to theland with a protester at area. the cameras are picking up donald trump in scotland. and a protester of sorts. francine: it looks like a red nose. tom: there is security, i would assume secret service, with a
6:47 am
presidential candidate. here is mr. trump from scotland. >> a very historic day for a lot of reasons. one of the biggest modes in the history of -- votes in the history of europe. it was very excited coming in. we just saw the results. i wish everybody a law of look -- lot of luck. it is historic, what is happening is the story. my mother was born in scotland. she loved scotland. she would come every year with my sister and they just love it. -- loved it. -- loyalty to scotland was and she loved the ceremony and the pop and circumstance. she was something special. to think that we would be here one day, incredible.
6:48 am
she would come with friends and they would have dinner here, she did not play golf. andaving taken this hotel done the job we have done, it is an honor that i was given the opportunity. it took about -- we purchased it about 4.5 years ago. the local politicians, all of the politicians, have been incredible. and they have proved virtually knowthing we asked for, we the approval process, it needed to go through several different layers. the everything we wanted, they agreed. it is great. we have taken the lighthouse, which is a very important building in florida -- i mean, in scotland. we have taken that building and
6:49 am
made it something really special. inside the lighthouse right now is an incredible -- is incredible suites. it is called the halfway house. on the bottom, there is dining and the golfers will get something to eat, then they go next-door. was inlighthouse, this disrepair. and everybody from landmark, scotland come all of the people we went through, i just think you because it was a long process getting it approved. but they wanted to see it at the highest level and now it is higher than it ever was. when you see it, if you get a chance, you should try to see it. it is the most beautiful suites you will ever see. i have never really seen it like this. tom: donald trump speaking in scotland. and we saw a professor early on, but -- protester early on, but
6:50 am
this is his golf course, we have seen it for many days, this investment. and we will go back when he speaks about the referendum. francine: he put out a statement. he does not have a prompter. he said earlier that the brexit vote is a great thing, because the voters were angry. that plays into his camp. tom: and in france, as we go to the election in spain and italy this weekend, saturday and sunday worldwide on television and radio, as we go to spain -- i want to see stephen majors who has been good on fixed income. you mentioned the shorter-term yield, the two year yield. for those who have had two hours sleep, we will give you information. if you will bring up a terminal as a chart. 4000 times since a year ago, the
6:51 am
fed meetings in the united states, and a presumed trying to have a better economy. rising yields. for blue circles on the right. we have blown through the conservative deviation trend and we are now out on the chart to unraveling. -- so howy bakers can can bankers adapt to that? >> the bull market is telling you something. fedssis points says the will not do anything. maybe that plays into the hands of those in emerging markets. i think that we will be stuck here for a very long time. and with very low rates. now i need to go somewhere else. tom: we will speak about the knockout effect of the mexican peso. francine: or the yen.
6:52 am
tom: the mexican peso is an emerging market. >> i have no idea. maybe they will like because the currency is -- hike because the currency is weak. and i think that the bond market should look through that. as we go to japan, they haven't aeting in july -- they have meeting in july and the bank of japan will use -- will ahve t -- have to ease again. loosen thelicy -- policy. they have to. japan is probably the first of all of the big countries that will employ what we call helicopter money, because they will need to create fiscal space somehow and owning the majority of the debt stock gives the bank of japan and japanese government the opportunity to do it. but that could be sometime next
6:53 am
year. it is not an official forecast, but it is likely. tom: on international relations, robin, people ignored japan -- ignore japan from the international houses. take us to the chart again. summoning times we have seen this of the japanese economics unraveling. with your expertise, we focus on france, spain, italy, nobody has their eye on the politics of japan right now. i may say, say -- if they could probably spend less time on europe, and now we will actually have to spend more time on europe. and a lot of time on japan, my colleague would remind you. but what is adjusting of japan, are the parallels -- interesting of japan, are the parallels with europe, the aging society, and
6:54 am
the parallels with britain, now an island nation cut off with a suspicious relationship trying to look to the global relationships to push the economy. i do not like it, particularly. -- mineo not know what was yeltsin years ago, but it looks like we are setting ourselves up. francine: and what i still do not understand, i know that the central bank -- nobody is expecting it. what could the black swan the? -- be? hedge funds going down? is there nothing in the economy that could make it 2008 like? >> the central banks will only do what they can within their mandates. and as it goes to the historical comparisons, whether it be russia or what have you, we will
6:55 am
have to wait and see in the next few days where the real pain has been felled, because the the the markets went into this with a feeling, and we have seen that is events will bring casualties. so next week will be interesting. tom: go ahead. guest: i think there are two international economics things that are important. number one, in london just last year talking about britain being china's gateway to europe. that has been shut off. so what is the alternative? traded investment partnership, britain one of the big pushers muscle how does the u.s. manage that religion -- big pressures, so how does the manage -- the u.s. managed by relationship? tom: robin, thank you for your conservation. we are out of time.
