it will be adjusting to see what the new it ministration chooses to do. will they lock it back down or continue to open? that's the question. that remains to be seen wally better, but i think it is -- what will be better, but i think it is fair to say that isolating them didn't improve their situation. guest: in cuba, i would say the evidence so far is pretty clear that it has empowered the regime. human rights has not improved. if anything it has deteriorated. it's a great economic benefit and the regime is only stronger. i think it would be unfair to blame president obama for the situation in venezuela. venezuela is the closest thing we have to a failed state. conditions are the worst of world war ii germany -- that's not his fault. either decisions made by a government which have been completely disastrous for the venezuelan people. i'd say i wish we had spent more time in the last couple years dealing with that, preparing countries around it for the shock of the potential collapsing state. i think there's a lot more we could have done in latin america

while there it ministrations the congressmen and senators were suspended because our values were under attack. does the secretary appreciate for those who want to fight to retain their values? >> we do talk to our friends with the organization and she is right we have many friends on capitol hill to those of the incoming trump's administration. to nail the arguments down to engage in the way the weirder doing doing. >> and many have been waiting what will we do with us special relationship? >> we made the opposition clear we believe there is the proud record of refugees >> does the foreign secretary not share the concern that given this invitation to the president there may be some short-term brownie points but we lose respect and trust until recently we share the same common values. >> to turn the position on its head looking to engage with the new american and administration to give it a cross the values that unite us civic the shameful lack of condemnation from the prime minister government often talks of the global influence why is it with the impact of the most vulnerable people o

obama effort in tech that may be impressed by the -- that may be embraced by the ministration. bloomberg. ♪ caroline: microsoft just scored a major win. the u.s. cannot force the tech giant to turn over customer data . last july, a three-judge panel overturned in 2014 decision or dering them to turn over information. the case could be picked up by the supreme court. tech has been bracing for a trump presidency, and with many awaiting the possible rollback of price policies to the sector like net neutrality and the h1b that may be portion safe is obama's tech surge. joining us now, bloomberg's head of global technology coverage area he has a great piece out on this. >> there are some early signals, but this was one of the legacies of the obama administration. bringing a bipartisan group of technologists into the government, not just originally hcare.gov, but to bring tech thinking into government. there was a lot of anxiety that the trump administration might roll that back. we reported this week that some of trump's tech deputies met with the leadership of services like the u.s

i'm optimistic to work with him and is the ministration. if he is successful the nation will be. >> i agree. we want him to be successful because it is critical for our nation. my main messages you have to work with us at the state level. i'm concerned when they talk about medicaid expenses. i would lose $300 million off the bat. want to be in the room for the discussion so we can offer quality care. let's stay focused on the big issues, what we will do on the critical infrastructure, trillion dollars of infrastructure spending. i'm a little concerned. i am concerned about the issue of 3-5,000,000 illegal voters -- it is not true. it is made up. what i am concerned about, do not deny people the ability to vote. let's not make it harder. you are the president. you walk into the oval office every day. we have big challenges coming forward. let's stay focused on the big issues and not play small ball on these issues about crowd sizes. we have bigger issues. >> i was going to ask that question at the end, have you seen any evidence? do you agre

under the new aggressive and ministration. not just repealing. it is still causing worried for some lawmakers. he serves on the preparation committee and was at the republican retreat. we talked about the secret recording that the washington post got his hand on a private republican strategy session where it sounds like you and your colleagues are a lot more nervous and private than you've let him publicly about coming up with consensus on not just repealing but replacing obama care. there is no question. there is a lot of concern about that. we also had serious reservations . there is concern how do you replace. knowing other political dynamics of the senate where you need 60 votes to determine a bathroom break we are also concerned that if we repeal without credible replacement we know the left well not help us replace obama care. there will be some on the hard right who will denounce any obama care replacement. those political considerations as well as policy considerations making sure there are not gaps in coverage for example. there is some

the obama and ministration is keeping tally. >> it won't surprise you to hear that the president has created over 900 manufacturing jobs and is pleased when another 700 jobs have been saved. talk about a backhanded compliment. it's not just the 700 jobs at ford or the 730 at carrier or the 200 at dow chemical. up to chemical. up to 10000 at steel company. 50000 that the president-elect was promised from softbank. that's not too shabby from someone who is yet to take office. no matter what the people say working for the guy currently in office. hello and welcome. charles payne is with me tonight jerry willis along with gary and adam lukens gay. a big shout out for her to filling in for me. this prickly white house response to this pretty good job snooze. donald trump news, right. >> donald trump is plugging the sound that ross perot warned us about when they were negotiating. he's plugging now : that's a big deal. >> you give him the credit. >> they were kind of dismissing it. >> of course, but you have to give them read it. it wouldn't have happened without donald trump's pressure. i

and this is how we try to get an idea in what did ministrations would be like if it is formal or casual or cutting edge we don't know all but its. >> what about america's response? >> we have a right to pass judgment. but that relationship that we feel that we have with american women and the public and therefore of what is appropriate what she says to what she is wearing. >> this is a beautiful dress this is what she wore it is handmade of chinese silk but down -- the town has all these different types of insect. >> why did you choose this dress? >> if there is a limit to what still exist for public collection. and then to go searching. >> talk about those other notable gowns. so what sticks out about the dress that she chose like. >> it is such a wonderful sentimental choice and with that gubernatorial ball in giorgio be were lucky to interview her for the exhibits and she said she has strong feelings about the dress that she would wear that to the inaugural ball in washington. and to go to the inaugural ball parties. and what they'd did not make with that choice but part of the first

so in the early twenties with the harding did ministrations because at the time the of veterans bureau scandal but yet come down in history that the president was a crook but what had he actually done? and i was intrigued by this.

the reality of the of ministration -- do you take it seriously or literally? the literal economic, fundamental backdrop in europe is improving when you have higher inflation, growth stabilizing, square that with the potential risk of u.s. president trump. in somedo think that aspects of the u.s. economic trajectory there are things which are good for u.s. growth that should have positive spillovers on the rest of the world. it would reinforce what we see as this benign economic trajectory out of rising inflation and growth. against that, you have to look at measures that are supposed to, in some sense, boost u.s. growth. and of course, the increase of interest rates in the u.s. may have negative spillover of the rest of the world. but at this stage, i really would see the overall global environment as being a drag on the european growth. if anything, i think the relatively benign industrial dynamics around the world are quite good for european growth, in particular for growth in the capital goods exporters. david: this is not the first time we have heard this

tell me your three national security priorities for the next ministration. >> i will start with one thatay or may not surprise you. i think cyber is extremely important and the reason i put it at the top of my list is because i think in cyber we have the greatest mismatch between the level of threat, which is quite high and our level of preparation, which is quite low. in other words, we worry about north korea, but we are kind of prepared. we worry about russia, we are kind of prepared to in cyber we are really not there, so cyber. number two, broadly would be the return of grade power politics and this is often categorized as russia and china, but i would add to it this is a bully makes that time will include the return to the world stage of germany and japan, which i think will be fascinating and above all in this century the rise of india, how we move those pieces around. i think that will be challenging. this gets into south china sea and crimea and everything else we face. second, great power politics underlying disorder and the third would be the continuing strains from violent ex

that's been a high priority of our administration and i'm sure previous of ministrations as well. our approach has been to make the us eight attractive place to invest including the heavy trade agreements that can make the us a good place to ask for a platform to export to other countries. you start saying in order to have access to our markets you have to move your manufacturing here. that has a certain appeal, but those are also the kinds of barriers that we have been fighting against in other countries. imagine if china tomorrow said boeing, you want to some art plans to china, the fastest growing market for airplanes, you have to move your production to china. we would be up in arms about that.up i think we need to think through what happens if other countries given the fact that 95% of the world consumers, 85% of s e world's purchasing power, fastest growing market, fastest demand for manufactured products are outside the us and we have to think through the second and third or-- implications. host: tpp and it disappeared in public consciousness this last year. do you have any

going to make our own country safer, i feel very optimistic with what i have seen of the trumpet ministration and making now, and the commitments he made with the american people that got him to the position of president of the united states. he needs our support. let's be clear, one of the things. aggressively being pursued by what we call the red green axis or even red green black access, the black lives matter movement is trying to undermine this president before he even gets into office. he needs our support, hey needs to be affirmed that we want this kind of threat whether osu, nonviolence, addressed an addressed effectively. and i think we have reason for optimism . >> we are going to pause here, this is a moment where we need some words of wisdom from our pastor eric bernard. hopefully if there is time remaining we will come back to get a few more questions. >> you are values guide your thinking. your core purposes guide your activities. and when you are your activities and you are values are lined up, you walk unexplainable peace. that only you and those who share those values underst

if you strip out the ministration, some of the fundamentals are quite good.e near full employment, five-year break evens are now over 2%. how do you factor that in if you are looking at the markets, versus the day-to-day headlines that can cause some uncertainty in the market? >> again, that is something where every investor is going to have to make a judgment. i have to say that i am surprised by how low that vix measure of volatility is, because it seems to me that, whether you are optimistic or pessimistic about the new administration, you have to look at the last several weeks and think surprises are more likely than usual going forward. in a period when surprises are more likely than usual, it wouldn't have been what i expected, that measures of volatility would be as low as they have been. on the other hand, markets have not been very volatile in the last month, and that is probably what is shaping the vix. but i have a feeling that at some point, more normal volatility will take hold again. david: so larry, all the focus is on the seven countries, musl

independent authorities even the bush said ministrations has made exactly the same points per closer to me if you have used your position as a public official to get inside information, that is a serious ethical breach. there are reports, materials about congressman price that warrant a careful and thorough review with regard to investments in industry that he would directly regulate if he is confirmed to lead the department of health and human services. simply put, there is enough here that if you are serious about oversight, you cannot simply say it is all like twins since and then just move on. the finance committee has the strong history of vetting the nominees that come before the committee democrat or publican to look for example at 2009 across the surface issues than but the reality is we have done it by the book and for issues on both sides. the process of the united states senate cannot and must not be a giant rubber stamp and we are here to tell you that simply will not be the case and senator murray outlined a number that they are involved in this issue and we'll understan

a debt of gratitude for their service and research and the will be hoping that the incoming it ministrations will choose people as effective and as talented and patriotic is anybody that has served under president obama. >> race relations in the country has been difficult and chicago and the facebook process i am curious hemisphere to describe the president's optimism of the future of race relations in this country based solely on his experience of the trajectory of growing up in this chios' understand the negative perception many have of race relations in this country? >> getting the president's optimism the progress we have made on the issue of race is rooted primarily in our experience as a country and society. there are a lot of examples. but the most recent could be the relationship between some local law enforcement agencies in the african-american community some communities a significant gap has been exposed to the president will often cite that it wasn't that long ago that the city of los angeles after a high-profile incident of deep concerns of police brutality of the city was in fl

president does not believe our interests were advanced by the strategy employed by the preemies ministration. he ran for this job in part on his opposition to some of those strategies that had been put in place before and the president does believe the strategy we put in place against isil is working we have made important progress in rolling back more than half the territory isil previously controlled in iraq. we rolled back substantial quantity of territory that they previously controlled in syria. we did that without a large-scale offense in ground combat operation involving american troops on the ground. what we've done is we have-- the president has dispatched a smaller number of us forces, some of whom are in very-- working in a dangerous situation to offer advice and assistance to local forces and regional forces that are fighting for their own region and fighting for their and country and that is the strategy that the president believes is more likely to lead to long-term success, will build the capacity of local forces to police their own country and secure their own country. of tho

independent authorities including the bush did ministrations have made exactly the same points. certainly hope if you have used your position as a public official to get inside information, that is a serious ethical breach and in this instance there are reports, materials about congressmen price that orange a careful anther of review with regard to investments in industries that he would directly regulate if confirmed to the department of health and to amend services. simply put, derek is the nephew arafat if you're serious about oversight you cannot simply say it is a coincidence then just move on for good of finance committee has a thorough history of any nominees that come before the committee that is true of the president is a republican or democrat. look for example, 2009 with those issues that involve democrats but the reality is we have done it five of book -- by the book. the nomination process in united states senate cannot and must not be a giant rubber stamp and we are here to tell you fifth that simply will not be the case now with the questions the senator outlined

what is this a ministration really want from the dollar?> ever since ruben said he loved a strong dollar, and it was everyone's favorite treasury secretary, it has become the thing to say. it is early mean anything. i think it's important to note what jan from goldman sachs, in terms of the fact that it will have to normalize,. and that is true but is important he is saying that against the euro. it may rally against the euro and the yen, but it may not do well against other currencies, foruse that expectations rate hikes may not come as quickly as the market was hoping. guy: what do you think the fed's read of donald trump's presidency thus far will be? he can use executive lines to be able -- executive orders to be able to change things, that he has yet to get into the full kind of negotiation with congress. what are the key clues we need to look for along those lines? is a going to be the ability to raise the debt ceiling? what are they going to be, that will tell us that congress and the white house are working together? >> well, and th

the trumpet ministration has not said anything about who the next director will be. they have offered some party stark takes on climate change. not fall in line with how the climate is changing and how humans are involved in that. it is a pretty clear scott this clear sign on where the trouble demonstration is going to come down on climate change. -- her that means fema will >> what is congress saying about the future of fema? as the agency budgeting goes forward they have the boots on the ground capacity they need in response to some of the events we have seen. wildfires in tennessee, i think the one thing people are waiting is to see there has been this mystery of sorts around how the trump administration will deal with this. with the cabinet that is emerging we have some people who are very much understanding the topic of the agency they're going to be running. frankly little background in the topic and the mission of their agency. certainly a technocratic knowledge. to seebe very curious which direction the trump administration goes in terms of picking somebody w

businesses say they are already suffering from the new and ministrations inward focused policy, includingposed resuspension plans. president trump's executive sign an executive order temporarily blocking visas from anyone from syria, iraq, iran, libya, sudan, and yemen. travel agents in the iranian american neighborhood of westwood mla say reservations of dropped off in expectation of the orders being signed. >> i can understand his concern because the entering of terrorists or something from those countries, but iran actually, because of our niche , we are suffering badly. ,ormal business from iran consider the business year and everybody on the internet, so our business is in bad shape because of that. ban won'tthe visa just hit travel, but it could affect the tourism industry. >> today, we have five cancellations because of the announcement on the radio. and the rule on regulations for iranian people and other countries that say they have been prohibited to come to the united states. therefore, they are afraid to go order, -- or to come. reporter: 1/9 of all jobs in the country or in t

it did not get a vote on the obama ministration.e association, there was no foreseeable hope that it was coming up under the president's administration. he did not have to issue the executive order. he simply did not have to ask congress to vote on it. or to veto it. he didn't do anything new yesterday. it was nothing. it was just raw red meat to his audience. i think many of the democrats are appreciative Ãwhat he has said is his go to renegotiate the deals individually.and in terms of bilateral agreements as opposed to multilateral agreements. many say that is fine. many say it is not fine. they don't want that either. so listen, you know what i have noticed aside from that executive order is the executive order that makes homeownership for new homeowners more expensive. but i have seen executive orders with the attack on affordable care act. to have less access to the american people and affordability for healthcare. what i have seen through what he is doing, what he is saying is that he is not ever ever going to release his taxe
