peter, what is going on? is the president moree comfortaaking these decisions or does he want people to fight it out to see who's going to win? peter: this is probably the wildest week of the trump presidency since last week. he likes this kind of churning. he -- it keeps things exciting. remember, he spent 14 years as a reality show host so heikes to keep us on edge to see what'sin happ next week. pete: is that your net or for-- metaphor or is that the y way he really thinks about it? peter: that's the wayy he rea thinks about it. he said at the beginning of his presidency, think of this as a reality show. we have to keep the viewers in prested. othets really, really resist sponsororing a big trimi to cnia for the purposes of showcasing his big policy initiative on the border wall and distracting with something else. this president hasoroblem with that. if you want to pay attention to the other thing, fine. he's going to do three, four, five things a day. keep up with him, please. pete: on rex tiller son, what was most surprising, that it happened or that ito took s long to happen? >> i think that it took so long to happen. remember, it was last august he was reported to have said by nbp that thesident was a moron. it's really hard to come back from that. think the president only left him there so long because we'd all been writing stories and reporting that he was on the way out. he decided to show he was the one in charge, not us. but it was ultimately going to happen.

well you know our peter. peter five days if i may correct you on one thing there is a serious debate in this country for example a very lively serious debate has broken out over jennifer lawrence's low cut dress go shoot for her latest movie. and that was a very wide ranging debate very serious attention a lot of important subjects so we should get you know one side of the on one side and an argument or you will discuss daniel what side of the argument you on on that one there are. no head no comment as much as much to throw out it's much too fraught for me i would never have the courage a little bit could do you think that there would be totally destroyed on facebook and twitter if you meant gave your opinion ok god help us god help us all all right gentlemen that's all the time we really think that my guests in washington new york and import lot of there and thanks to our viewers for watching us here are to see you next time and remember. little blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to th

peter peter thank you very much indeed for joining us well with all of us all the ballots now counted not a mere pittance leading the votes i mean what does such an overwhelming win signify . putin's overwhelming victory does not come as a surprise to anybody in the united states or probably anywhere else around the world putin is very popular inside russia the latest polling that i've seen says that he's got about eighty two percent approval ratings that's more than twice as the approval ratings that donald trump has and so. but what it signifies though is that russians. not only approve of putin but that his strong message of nationalism of russian pride of russian strength resonates very well with the russian people right now who are looking for a certain kind of stability and are trying to restore russia's reputation around the world to a kind of greatness that russia had during the the soviet period as we know in the aftermath of the soviet collapse russia went through a very very bad time the ninety's were terrible decade for russia the life expectancy for males dropped from sixty six to fifty seven on average the economy collapsed and it was a very very bad time for russia the yeltsin years and so when putin took over he restored a certain measure of dignity international respect and has built russia up to being a very strong nation again certainly and to some extent economically and militarily and otherwise russia is a major player on the world scene again so i think the russians took pride in putin's leadership and were happy to give him another six years but also as you touched upon there the international aspects to this obviously this domestic it also means national politics but mean what international reaction do you predict i mean once all the ballots are counted i mean for instance let's look at the situation between between russia and britain can you see that improving. now i don't see that improving i think that's a very troubling situation the relations with between russia and the united states is even more troubling i have to remember that between our two countries we have ninety three percent of the world's nuclear weapons and we both president trump recently announced the nuclear posture review for the united states introducing new nuclear weapons making nuclear weapons more usable and more deadly and putin responded and his state of the union message by announcing five new nuclear weapons that the russians are developing and mostly designed to evade america's ballistic missile defense system so severe it troubling nuclear weapons so both sides are trying to assert their strength and show their resolve right now and that relations between the united states and russia are the worst they've been certainly since the end of the cold war and in many ways the most dangerous situation we face since the cuban missile crisis in one thousand nine hundred two this is not getting any better if you turn on television the united states. all the major networks are demonizing putin are presenting soviet actions as a very very dangerous form of aggression and are heightening the anti soviet mood in the united states this is pretty constant surround the clock as very dangerous you know you are two countries need to be working together and not interfering in each other's elections not provoking each other not threatening each other and so i see this is a very dangerous situation the situation in britain if you want to go into that i think that theresa may and boris johnson active very very precipitously they did not give russia a chance to respond they did not give russia the samples of the poisons that were found the international committee has not that deals with chemical weapons has not had a chance to weigh in on this and when johnson says that he thinks it's overwhelmingly likely that russia was behind this. that that's not good enough when you're dealing with a situation that's threatening to crease tensions in a way that makes pose a threat to world peace we need to be more than have overwhelmingly likely evidence we need to have very very firm evidence so does russia have a motive to do this perhaps do they have the capability to do this perhaps we don't even know in november of two thousand and seventeen russia officially announced with international observers that their chemical weapons were completely destroyed they got rid of their chemical weapons we believe sooner than the united states and the other signatories to this agreement and now we're saying that russia has kept the reserve and committed these acts there are other possible explanations i just got back late last night from singapore i was a singapore for a week and one of my hosts was a british professor who's from. salisbury where the poisoning scare palls took place and he said to me several days ago he said that they're saying that there's no possible other source except that there was a chemical weapons facility eight miles away from salisbury in england so there are a lot of other potential sources i'm afraid and we could talk about the so many different aspects of this my favorite we're running out of time now we have to wrap it up peter cosmic history professor at the american university thank you very much indeed thank you. well after the break we'll look at how the candidates made their way to the top of russian politics. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question by the way is going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go meet the center of the beach but probably with you and the great the great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. a low as i want you and i'm really happy to join us for the two

peter elstrom. peter, why is apple doing this? apple of course has built its business model on outsourcing virtually all of its manufacturing. you see that famous line, "designed in california, mostactured in china," on of its smartphones. it gets higher profit margins if it does not have to do the messy business of manufacturing. it has been trying to figure out how to make its phone stand out against the competitors out anye if it does not own particular component. recently, we saw them begin to design chips and produced some of their own chips. we are seeing them move into designing and producing these screens. note is a secret facility far from cupertino headquarters in silicon valley, where we have found out they have about 300 engineers who are working on this next generation of screen technology, called micro led. it will compete with oled, the technology samsung and others have been promoting. anna: not so secret facility anymore, though. thank you, peterstrom joining us on a story around apple that is having an impact on the equity session. stephen isaacs still with us in london. let's talk about stock specifics. we broke the news of the top of the hour. an activist will get involved with barclays about the 6.5% dividend, the potential for share buybacks. what will they push for? stephen: barclays is like a number of medium-sized european banks that has not got a property strategy yet. i am still trying to retain the universal banking model. at a time when investment bank revenues were affected, we would never be the same again. we got caught up with the whistleblower story. it's arguable he may be at some surge-vulnerable area. -- at some stage vulnerable. tammy change directions here? has done what ubs successfully, which is to kind of revamp barclays? probably largely downscale. i think investment -- wealth management. that is what is coming. it's inevitable. we had a great chart earlier, 9457, which shows the spread has gotten so

peter. do you prefer peter? no, my name is that peter and let's direct our question to the guest. i am from amherst. is amherst part of your district? to be.it used but they gerrymandered ohio so radically that they cut the whole lower two thirds of the county out of our district. they went from the heart of cleveland through the rain. amherst is completely cut off. but many people who live in amherst work in the rain at the plant. caller: absolutely. this is what i want to ask. a lot of the industry from lorraine has an effect on grade. because people don't think about it but the great lakes are a great source of shipping. do as farhe tariffs as the jobs that aren't actual steel jobs that are related to the shipping of the steel? a really good point how interconnected our production system is.ution i represent several ports on the great lakes. vital to our country steel industry because a lot of our or comes and is shipped down through gary and cleveland and lorraine. rail industry is related to it. the largest rail center in the country and we have massive trucking countries to

peter navarro, director of the white house office of trade and manufacturing policy. welcome back to bloomberg, good to have you. peter: it has been a while. david: there is a fair amount of activity in your neck of the woods. gary cohn is going to step away. i want to start there. the president has been exclusive he wants to bring voices even conflicting voices informing economic policy. if he wants to replace gary cohn, should he be looking for someone with gary's particular point of view which might not have agreed with your own? peterent tweeted out this morning he has got a long list of people he will interview. it will be a great list. we are going to miss gary. gary is a great colleague. i myself, i loved to have him on discussions because we do have differing point of use. it is a deep bench. there is a superb economist, mick mulvaney, this guide leading deregulation revolution in this country. we have not seen this since the days of reagan. outside you have stephen mnuchin in treasury who did a heck of a job on the treasury. wilbur ross is doing and so -- all sorts of great things. so there are a lot of different points of view. the president loves that. here is the point. at the end of the day i like what goes on here like a football team. every year the patriots win the division but with different players. what doesn't change is the coach and quarterback, and that is who we have in donald trump. he had the best first year on the economy of any modern president, and we are going to have a great second year. i

peter talking about new, actually old ideas about ballooning trade deficits and how to fight them. >> warren buffett has talked about it. it's about auctioning off access to countries' domestic markets. here's peter. peter, we have 4% : unemployment, which is about as low as it ever gets. it would seem on the surface that the trade is a less serious problem for the u.s., then you have a president who has made this a campaign issue. carol: you're going to have trade deficits and trade surpluses, that is kind of the way it works. you hope it bounces out -- t, but if you look at the u.s., they have had a trade deficit ongoing year after year. maybe it is worth taking a look at. >> it 100% is worth paying attention to. and with the president on that top to bottom. the question is what do you do? that is where the division comes. so trump's approach is about tarrifs and calling out cheaters. that is the word he uses again and again. in his mind you have problem, trade deficit, solution, get the cheaters. what i am actually saying is that it is actually more complicated than that. there are cases where you could have no trade deficit with a country, even though the country is cheating. let's take china. the t

that's peter all of the reporting for us thank you now the spat between the two countries follows the poisoning of former double agent and his daughter in salzburg as peter was saying there it was a nerve agent that was used in this case ex russian officer good script power was jailed in russia for handing secrets to british intelligence he moved to the u.k. in a spy swap in two thousand and ten u.k. police expect the probe into the attack to take as long as months but that didn't stop u.k. politicians straight away pinning the blame on moscow. british foreign secretary is among those who've been throwing accusations at moscow russia's ambassador to the u.k. alexander slammed boris johnson's comparison of the upcoming world cup here in russia to the olympics under hitler called it unacceptable and an insult to the russian people. because the roads lead to the. way. these things. yes i think the comparison with these exist is right moscow considers this kind of statements made under the level of the foreign secretary in any way unacceptable and totally irresponsible. the british government just free to make a decision about its participation in the world

peter peter strzok and lisa page with the agency said they had some sort of insurance policy in terms of hough would be in the white house. i want to say this though, fox news has learned if the former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe, the termination of him, if terminated by close of business this friday, that would mean mccabe would not receive a government pension. zac? >> right. what this is yet another assault on law enforcement in an effort to discredit the russia investigation. let's remember, that the one thing that we know from the coming ig report about andrew mccabe is that they found wrongdoing on his part not for anti-trump but anti-clinton when he allowed people to talk about the the clinton foundation investigation with journalists right before the election. the only evidence we have of andrew mccabe wrongdoing is actually anti-hillary and pro-trump. >> law enforcement, the leaders of law enforcement under obama. they are the ones that discredited law enforcement. >> absolutely false. >> harris: andrew mccabe, if he is let go by friday he doesn't get his pension. we understanding that jeff sessions, the a.g. is looking at that as a possibility. gentlemen, thank you very much. termination of mccabe breaking this hour. the president with his choices for new secretary of state and cia director both of them facing upcoming confirmation hearings and a vote. one republican senator says not so fast. there he is. that's a live picture of rand paul of kentucky opposing both nominations. he might wave. we are going to go to commercial. i ask him why he is against the president on this. stay close. ♪ onably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy's part. like fact that they'll just... forgive you... four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. but he hasoke up wwork to do.in. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. >> dana: hi, everyone. i'm dana perino. president trump has decided on new economic advisor and there is word of a daca deal from the white house. we have a live report on both. plus, will the pennsylvania special election come down to a recount? we will ask one of the key holders who knows the answer and shakeup at the state and cia. what's next for russia, north korea and syria? we will break it all down on the daily briefing. ♪ >> harris: former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe that you see on the right there could be fired on friday. that would mean he would not get his pension. he was due to retire on sunday. and on the left, of course, is the attorney general jeff sessions. we are told now just moments ago that sessions is review ago recommendation to fire the former fbi deputy director just days before his scheduled retirement. remember, i just said that that is supposed to happen on sunday. people being briefed on the matter say that obviously and we know mccabe has been ensnared in internal review process. let's go straight now to senator rand paul who was supposed to join us on a different topic but this is breaking. you are from the russell rotunda. why fire mccabe? >> i think there absolutely ought to be investigation. i don't have enough information to say fire him. i think between peterohr and andy mccabe, there needs to be the question asked were they abusing their office? were they using their office. were they using it for partisan purposes? absolutely the question needs to be asked. i'm just personally not privy to information say should be fired. i guarantee alarm bells have gone off from all of us to say why were these people so involved with politics? i wrote a letter to the fbi director a week or two ago. and i asked can these people still search a database, can peter strzok, lisa page, bruce ohr can they still search a database to snoop on us maybe for political reasons for a warrant. i haven't gotten answer back. >> harris: that is disturb going they can still search a database. is he set to retire on sunday. we were trying to figure out what daily duties have been. more importantly you point out something different. >> yeah, bruce ohr his wife worked for the opposition research group that hired a british spy, was paid for by hillary clinton. should bruce o

peter doocy in washington mall, hi, peter. peteru can see that there are still people heading into the march, there's some people leaving and some coming in. we pulled two people with signs against the nr and general gun control. where are you visiting from? >> we actually live here. peter: what are you hoping to accomplish by coming today? >> i would love to spread more awareness and let the administration and all of the people in congress understand how many people support this cause. we really, really need gun control, we need gun reform, it's not -- we are not in 18th century anymore. we need progress. peter: have you been to a big rally like this before? >> i have not, it's first one. >> my first rally as well. peter: what do you hope to accomplish, more than signs directed at congress, there are a lot directed at the nra. >> yeah, i mean, i think the nra has a large influence over the gop especially and we are trying to let people know we need common sense laws, nobody is asking to take guns away but make it harder for people

peter galbraith hi there peter watching all this over there from from boston over in the state seems the white house president trump actually was the one to encourage e.u. members to expel russian diplomats he was the guy got the e.u. together so solidly on this jew agree with that. i really don't now. i it's hard for me to believe that he has that much credibility with the know and i would have thought. it was much more to raise and after all britain is still an e.u. member and it's so close our. the reasoning the white house is given for the us explosions or certainly the closure of that culture in seattle was that it's physically close to a submarine base and also a boeing base seems slightly odd reasoning was what's the connection there. well i mean fundamentally this is a risk it is a response to what the british and i suppose the americans and the europeans believe based on the well based on two things first on intelligence that they may have but also that the nerve agent was a soviet origin that you know you have been an attack an attempted murder. to people on on british soil including the daughter who obviously had nothing to do with mr. cassatt russian citizen as well i don't think we except the idea that you can go around murdering russian citizens. in in the united states or united kingdom regarding people regardless of their sentences that that you know has a right though with so many investigations still going on here obviously the u.k. says it's maybe it knows of the beyond the sayings maybe it does maybe it doesn't but it's gone of a lot of support here other people are believing it as well russia is saying show us the evidence show is the proof let us get involved in any way well wait for the official investigations to come but are you surprised the u.k. and europe has jumped so quickly before waiting for anything more to come through. now not at all again given that it was a soviet origin nerve gas and given what it had previously happened with. alexander litvinenko in two thousand said it was a long one that was a probably state to old it but it was again never a problem maybe you never get to the bottom of the thing i don't know why you don't know what the british government believes that's what's widely believed that i suppose there's intelligence about it and again. not something that's easily available anywhere these murder that murder and these this attempted murder carried out by more conventional means i don't know that they'd be the quite the same reaction but these weapons were very specific poisoning with the polonium again material very hard to obtain and. again going back to what president was one case this is another going back to what president putin said about it well. he said well if it was a military strength nerve agent used here with best respect it wasn't exactly very successful if you actually want to kill someone and well i suppose i don't know enough about the dosage or use or a but also you need an order to apply it in these circumstances you have to use a limited amount it isn't quite the same as what you're dropping it from the air for example that saddam did against not finding a second let's go but let's go back to the diplomatic fallout here what is going to made so the next step was suppose now the next day or two it's going to be moscow doing a tit for tat yet will it be of the same level more or less what you think. i don't know what the russians are going to do they took a much stronger line after in ultimately in response to the expulsions that president obama did in response of the russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election so i really don't know. what the response will be all i can say is that this would be a pretty standard way to respond to this kind of incident. and would there be more tit for tat diplomatically off to russia what is going to do next or will it calm down for a while my guess is that it will calm down for a while after all the u.s. and europe and russia all need each other. in spite of this incident the common threats that is to say. the islamic state and and southey jihad as north korea. you know whatever's going to happen in iran they require cooperation and you know from us from a chance of trying to each of our countries oh you know those issues are are much more important just going to some of the response from the just really briefly paid to what we got you on the line are you surprised that not everyone was on bold austria was a big member saying no bogey area greece as well the surprise that it wasn't you know enemas. now. astra has always been it is a neutral country by virtue of the austrian state tree he it's always been a place where there's been a leading ground between east and west. area it's always been historically very pro russian and for that matter so those freaks so. i'm not surprised that everybody didn't go along it. seems normal in the e.u. and i would have say that the response in the in the european countries is more limited it's two or three diplomats and the united states is pretty radical with six. peter thanks for your time former us ambassador peter galbraith really appreciate you making time to be with us thank you. now away from that story of but a kindness that's actually about fire one man's act of kindness in the french alps as landed him in

peter strauss. >> thank you. good afternoon. peter straw peter strauss. i'm very concerned with the struggles of the taxi industry, but there are a lot of things that we like in this budget from a tran ssit perspective. we really like doing a day pass, we like the reduction in the a-pass price. we'd like to see that go to zero differential. we like that there's some recognition of the need for -- to better address the budgetary concerns of families, you know, that's reflected in some of the visitor past proposals, and we'd like to see that recognition of family needs addressed in other parts of the budget. but the main thing that i want to address today is the prop b fund. and we very strongly urge you to take a portion of the operating funds and use it for the operating budget. we feel it's very essential that the mta move into a mode of budgeting for expansion of transit service, not just maintenance. it's very troubling to see -- well, you didn't hear about it today, but the only proposals the staff suggested to us is there are efficiencies that would

peter teal is certainly -- peter thiel is certainly well-known for his support of donald trump, but also investing in out of this world ideas. why did you choose that? kevin: i knew peterstanford. i was involved in student politics. this is where i give the disclaimer. i was chair of the stanford democrats, and peter was staunchly conservative libertarian. but i loved the diversity of opinion that existed there, and while i did not agree with a lot of his views, i was keen to hear his perspectives because they are insightful. i guess i would say it is unfortunate it feels like there is a bit of groupthink in the valley right now that maybe kind of muscle -- muffles or kind of dims other perspectives that we could be more open-minded to. the second reason is really how this is a partnership, a group of real dreamers truly investing in really world-changing ideas, whether it was an initial investment in facebook or being the first institutional backers of spacex and elon musk, it is great to see these independent thinkers that take risks in this manner. emily: peter has caught a lot of flack for supporting president trump. founders fund has been dragged into that. what i

peter doocy is live on the hill for headlines. what are they telling, you pe r peter? good morning. >> reporter: it comes after the senate intel committee recommended the best way, in their opinion, to protect future elections is to go back in time and start using paper ballots not connect to wi-fi. this bipartisan group of senators is calling for a shout out to any bad actors who may be playing -- planning to interfere with an election. the election has to stay a state-led effort and have to offer extra efforts like experts and money. and it follows more than a year of of their probing interference by russia in 201 including the worry now from the dhs is the number could grow this year. >> we have no evidence votes were changed as a result of their efforts. however, the threat of interference remains and we recognize that the 2018 midterm and future elections are clearly targets for russian hacking attempts. >> reporter: you can see how important it is to the united states senate because it's one of the only hearings happening today. about everything else on the hill has been rescheduled for a snowstorm that is very disruptive that came to town around dawn. the government is technically closed but the hearing is on. bill. >> bill: thank you, peterocy watching that for us. thank you, sir. >> sandra: meanwhile, former secretary j. johnson at the hearings defending the obama's administration's 2016 election interference. >> we were beating the drum pretty hard beginning with a conference call i had with every state secretary -- secretary of state on august 15. the good news is by election day, 33 states actually came in and sought our cyber security assistance and 36 cities and countieses came in and sought our cyber security assistance in the time permit. clearly, senator, as we look back on the experience two years later and we have a clearer picture of the full extent of what the russian government was doing, there could have been additional efforts made but i'm satisfied at the time this was a front-burner issue for me. >> sandra: responding to election interference saying it was a front-burner issue for them. >> bill: and we know, and it's been said repeatedly, no votes were changed as a result of this. we emphasize that for

peter strauss is karen mcdougal's current lawyer. i'm assuming you're ready to answer all the questions. >> i'm ready. >> first of all, peter, what did she think she was signing and why did she sign it? >> american media ink not only owned "national enquirer" but six fitness magazines. she thought she was signing a legitimate writing and modeling contract. to be clear she knew they were buying her story and she knew that the "national even requirer" was not going to publish it. but she had no idea she wasn't going to be able to respond to press inquiries. ami takes the position she can and we're thrilled, but the reality is their private position is very different and for over a year, they've made her terrified. >> how so? >> so after "the new yorker" ronan farrow story came out, any disclosures will lead to breach of contract and will lead to significant monetary damages. we all know what that means. you get sued for $20 million. >> if they're saying she can talk now, doesn't that mean everything is taken care of. >> this week in the news but they have a right in perpetuity. >> but they say they have a right of the journalism with ami. >> i'm talking about silencing her. >> this specific story. >> about anything having to do with her prior relationship with donald trump. at this moment they're letting her tomorrow speak, but there's a lot of future moments. >> i'm trying to figure out what is her truth. wasn't this is a consensual relationship? >> it was consensual and an important relationship for her. i don't want to speak for her, but she had a relationship with him for ten months. >> does she regret having an affair with a married man? >> absolutely. >> at the time her lawyer was coordinating with michael cohen, colluding. is there any evidence of that? >> there's plenty of evidence. in the first instance, we know he represented stormy daniels and another woman in direct hush deals. karen had no idea she was representing them, that those deals were happening. recently "the new york times" reported that in karen's deal itself, the day it was signed, he e-mailed michael cohen and he got on the phone and said the deal is done. that's remarkable because the deal happened in one day. she was close to having a deal with abc where she was for no money going to go and tell her story. and her lawyer brought her back to ami and in a day said we got to get this signed, a contract that she didn't understand. >> and keith issued a statement, quote, he fulfilled his obligations and zealously advocated for ms. mcdougal to accomplish her stated goals at that time. what's your response to his statement? >> i response is it's an interesting perspective that i think no one admitted to any bar would share. he's certainly entitled to his opinion. >> why is it important for her to tell her story then and now if not to just hurt the president? >> let me be clear. karen is a republican. she voted for the president. she holds no ill will. one of the reasons she's taken a while to come forward, that was her concern. if ever there was a case that was not motivated by naked politics, it's this one. she did not publicity. >> peterr, how can you say she doesn't want publicity? i'm not trying to be cute here. she's suing, saying i had an affair with the president, wanting to tell my story. i'm thinking what would change after she tells her story and then you say she doesn't want publicity. >> here's how i say that. the proof is in the pudding. what i'm telling you is she's going to do this interview and tell her truth and then you're not going to see her again. that's what someone does who doesn't want to be held. you can hold me to it because it's either true or it's not. i know it's true. i'm very confident. i think people are going to be interested to see her perspective because it's nuanced, complicated and it's important. >> facebook is under fire for the possible misuse of over 50 million users' data. why they're not getting any likes in washington or wall street. >> and we invite you to subscribe to our "cbs this morning" podcast. you'll get the news of the day, podcasts and originals. find them all on itu

peter is now moving to . because of this groupthink and his dissatisfaction with that. what does that mean for founders fund. kevin: that is peter's choice. founders fund is a partnership. peterewed as but it is made up of a diverse set of investors. we will continue and work along with peter, but there are other great team members, whether -- this isen, brian a partnership and not around one person. emily: what is it like being married to a venture capitalists now? julia: what is it like being married to kevin? sometimes you feel under accomplished by the sheer number of meetings he takes come and then to realize that even despite him meeting 951 companies in the first 12 months he is a 50-50 partner to meet at home. we co-raise her children together -- we also co-raise our parents, sorry mom and dad. and just how involved he is, so i do have to say, i don't know where you find the time, but it has been great to watch them. kevin: it pales in comparison to what julie has done over these last two years at eventbrite has ceo and how the company has grown and expanded. i am so excited for the future. emily: kevin and julia hartz, cofounders of eventbrite, thank you so much for

peter oliver he's a europe correspondent tell us about the reaction from europe but also across the world to peter good afternoon what's being said then. well the steel in our many an industry all around the world very unhappy a by donald trump signing what they see is well what really years his protectionist policies when it comes to the imports of steel alanine at twenty five percent levy being placed on imports coming into the united states what they're saying though is that this won't just directly affect those companies that export to the u.s. it also have a knock on effect across the whole of the steel in business all around the world as competition to offload that product increases as you can imagine and as i said some very unhappy people all around the globe right now you should too if your choosing a trued war is surely the room prescription which i know will certainly make it appropriate and necessary trade wars are bad and easy to lose i'm convinced the increased terrorist will hurt us all in the long run but this is the wrong way to go about it protectionism tariffs never really work but will defend our interests if need come now mexico and canada won't have to deal with this they're exempt from the levy on imports of. because of preexisting trade agreements no what we have heard though from here in europe from the e.u. was that if you do this to our steel around a million well we'll put a levy on peanut butter on board and whiskey on harley davidsons on levi jeans however following the announcement that both canada and mexico would be exempt now the words coming out of brussels that we're hearing is one of our exemption. the offense we're allies we work together we cannot possibly be a threat to our national security in the u.s. so we are counting on being excluded of the e.u. has said that should they not get this exemption well they'll be taking it to the world trade organization and they're really not going to be happy and they're going to see quite no outcry i would imagine coming from here in europe from steel producers and our million producers and all of that coming together could well cause quite a bit of tension between some nato allies as well. something to watch ok thanks peter was artie's peter a. i mean donald trump has also cool money off guard by agreeing to meet face to face with the north korean leader kim jong un and he recently did say we're engaged in a twist this battle over who had the biggest nuking a button market reports be heard the announcement and now we have confirmation from the white house that yes a meeting will take place between kim jong un and us president donald trump now this would be the first meeting between the head of state of the united states and the government of north korea their head of state this is quite a surprise to many people we've heard secretary of state rex tillerson who recently said that the usa was a long way away from any negotiations with north korea i don't know yet until we are able to be ourselves place to face with. representatives of the world. whether the conditions are right you can be if you about negotiations determine that direct talks with the united states and u.s. negotiate sions or were always fr

peter: the model has been off-track for some time. francine, sorry? francine: hi, peter. tom was acting about boj and ecb, but what does the fed do with this? petera situation -- the economy is improving. we had speeches overnight. brainerd, little more dovish moving toward the center, that is an important development. seey growth doing -- they growth doing well in the u.s., they see inflation showing signs of picking up and our expectation is they will begin to raise the number of rate hikes they are telling us they will be getting. that is the baseline. shockperimpose on that a betse trade system and all could be off. a year ago -- a little over a year ago we looked at the global outlook. things look good. there was risk down the list, trade policy. that risk has suddenly jumped. peter, talk to me about how it affects the animal spirits? we are expecting inflation to go up thanks to wage growth. if i am in texas, elsewhere, and i worry about what my company will do, do i still raise wages of my employees? could you see before of this trade war, you do not see inflation picking up to where it could be stashed should be? -- it should be? we see i

let me ask reason.com's managing editor peter suderman. peter, let's discuss this.eople want to see some sort of resolution. i understand that. people want the government to do something. but they can make a bad situation worse, right? >> yes, that's exactly right. the most of important words in that clip you played were get tough. that's what trump wanted to do and seen to be doing. but getting tough and treating the opioid problem as a criminalization problem, one of crime is a bad way to go. if you go back to my home state of florida you saw what happens. they passed really severe minimum sentences not the death penalty, but long jail sentences for people who were suppose to be high-level dealers bringing drugs into the state. this was a state with a big problems with drugs, particularly oxycontin. they were first on the scene with the opioid crisis. the vast majority of the people locked up were first-time offenders often caught with just a handful of pills. they didn't solve the problem. instead they destroyed people's lives people who were not high-level deale

peter, rick. peter, marilyn. supervisors, in terms of the affordable crisis, 827 is self-defeating. accord to a study by the firm commissioned by the city, market rate housing creates a demand for additional affordable housing. and so that may be up to about 30% according to that study. even with our inclusionary zoning requirements in place, we are not gaining ground on the affordability crisis, in fact, it's getting worse. so for every market rate housing development, we have a greater problem with affordability. so contrary to trickle-down economics, more market rate housing means a worse problem for our affordability issue. thank you. >> nancy. i support the resolution from the board of supervisors to oppose 827 and 828. these bills are like imminent domain confiscation of developers. these bills support the destruction of affordable housing without any montÉreg montÉregielation regul regularlation. people will be forced to sell out. this is a great city because of the neighborhoods and the diversity. not because of its density. i think you need to make sure that we preserve what we have already and the quality of our life. also, would like to make sure that my beautiful historic house is preserved in the future for generations to enjoy, because if we don't do this know, it will be torn down for the land value. >> hello, supervisors. i'm losing my voice, but thought it was important to come here today and speak. thank you for having. supervisors, latinos have been displaced from the mission. thousands of latinos have moved to bayview. our new neighbors are looking at 3rd street and saying hell know for the luxury development. that is happening today. 827 makes this problem worse. for 827, adding value to land is far more important than recognizing the value of our people and parts of the city with lower land values like bayview, visitation valley, these neighborhoods will be hurt first and worst by the law. 827 claims to demolition at that reward speculation. that will lead to more of the same problems, illegal and legal evictio evictions. oppose 827. it's the wrong planning for district 10. >> good afternoon. my name is marilyn, i live in north beach. i urge support resolution opposing 827. combined with president trump's opportunity zones will further displace low-income residents seeking affordable housing because developers could eliminate the capital gain taxes on any projects and opportunity zones in san francisco. those include chinatown, soma and mid market tenderloin. what this means is developers will receive large tax incentives build luxury house, further gentry phiing those neighborhoods. i would ask that we work with senator wiener to modify his bill to incorporate these concerns. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm robert. i urge you not to pass this resolution. we've heard a lot about neighborhood character concerns. the character of a place is truly defined by the people who live in it. people cannot afford the bay area. what is our character as we stand by and watch our neighbors leave because we're more concerned about architecture and buildings than the young people and families leaving our city? i left work to point out the obvious. not building housing has not worked. the plain fact is that san francisco is unaffordable. where will the children of our city live? what will the character of the city look like when only the wealth kri can live here? will we have children in the future? none of these are answered by the rz lieutenant-governors. i urge you not to pass it. thank you. in i urge you to stop the resolution that senator wiener has put forward. that we need to discuss it in the committee first is astonishing. i have three points to make and i hope i can make them in one minute. one is this is a proposal that changes san francisco for generations. we have an irresponsibility toward future generations to preserve san francisco. we're the caretakers of the land. we don't own property. the property will be here for hundreds of years and the hills have been here and people have tried to raise them before, and the earthquake has stopped it, or money has stopped it. we need to stop these hills in the city get destroyed. the second one [bell ringing] >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm karen, appearing as individual in opposition to 827. i've been working for over a decade to preserve japan town. one of the products of that effort is the j. chess, the cultural heritage and economic sustainability strategy. this document has been adopted by the planning department and the board of supervisors as a model that will help our neighborhoods continue to be able to accommodate growth while preserving our cultural and economic growth. this legislation will undo that, override it. oppose it anyway you can. i've seen what follows. and it is not going to help our neighborhoods. >> i'm leslie with housing rights committee. we support your opposition to sb 827. i've been evicted twice in two years and this is what happens when we build luxury only housing. if we don't repeal costs and put in anti-displacement measures and instead just build, build, build, we're going to lose our working class low-income poc populations. so we need to put in those measures before we consider any developer giveaways. we need 100% affordable housing before we think of doing anything like this. thank you, peskin, for moving this forward. >> hi, i'm peterth the mission economic development agency. and i'm here to speak in support of this resolution to oppose sb 827. in agreement with many of the points made so far, we want to touch on a few particulars about how this is not an equitable bill. proponents i want to say that the bill will disproportionately effect our neighborhoods of colors, because those areas already have comparable zoning. additionally there is no value recapture which doesn't take into account all sorts of things, including what is going to happen with traffic on those corridors? if we think that people are going take transit, upscale people, that's mistaken from the data. and finally, it does penalize communities of color and our low-income communities that have [bell ringing] >> good afternoon, supervisors. there is a lot of enthusiasm in this chamber for transit oriented development and unequivocally affordable housing developers and advocates have been supporting it. that's how our housing works best. the studies

peter navarro ascending into that role is that fair to say and that larry is more of what would be a calming voice than some other names. >> well, i think if he had peter in there arguing strongly that the kind of the tariffs across the pord should be akroz the board and you have to, you're guilty until proven innocent, but larry, i would say you're innocent until prove guilty. innocent until proven guilty, something we like. again, i'm from wall street. i know that. again, larry and i partners many, many years larry, about free trade. but larry has softened his stance on china. the president is not going to point anybody who's not tough on china. because a lot of these policies are about china. a lot are about the glut china has made in order to target industries larry is coming closer to the target industries. i think he has mnuchin's support. cukushner's support. two people who believe you can send larry out to tell a story, which is a lot more calming than peter, but peter, more to the point on a lot of these issues particularly what chaina's doin within our country and trying to be able to stop the dhi chinese companies that some of them are mass kai raiding has american companies to make sure they don't become integral to our military because they are considered to be the enemy by peter. i would say they're considered to be not a team player and not a friend big difference not a friend different from enemy not someone who plays fair to someone who doesn't play fair at all. much closer to globalism than peter. >> but jim, i'm going to have you put your hedge fund hat back on your money manager back on as if you were running billions of dollars on wall street if i tocold you gary kohn was leahing and you were uneasy, would you take harry kudlow as the next best thing to exist for somebody b who understanding the intersection of washington waugh and wall street, better than most >> i have to say yes if you believe that china is the source of a
