>>> that does it for "andrea mitchell reports." remember to follow our show online and on twitter, here is "velshi & ruhle" with ali velshi and stephanie ruhle. >> hello everybody, it is monday december 2nd. the white house says they'll not part in the hearing that's coming up point the reason, trump says it is a hoax. >> president trump is meeting in nato, he's railing how the united states is being treated unfairly. we'll break down trump's complicated relationship with the alliance. the supreme court is takiing on gun case today, how it could affect gun owner rights across the country. coming up. a big development in the impeachment inquiry. the white house says they're not going to participate in the house first impeachment hearing on wednesday. jerry nadler, and pat cipollone wrote, this violates all presidents and basic due process rights and fundamental fairness. president trump defended his decision to not participate in the hearing. because the whole thing is a hoax and everybody knows it. look at the words of the presiden

does this concern you? robert: in my view, and i've been talking about this the last few years, we've had a substantial structural change in the u.s. economy, from disruption, the fact that everyone has in the palm of his or her hand or computing power then business is 10 years ago. power has shifted. businesses don't have pricing power. it is not surprising that consumer expectations are going to stay low, so does it concern me? no, i think it is reality. we just have to acknowledge that the reality of technology and the lack of pricing power is here to stay. kathleen: here is something kind of puzzling to me. the dots, if you look to 2021 and 2022, suggest they will start tilting toward rate hikes. but the consensus inflation forecast is in a range of something like 1.8% to 1.92%. the fed has been talking about inflation overshoot because it shot under for so long, for so many years has not hit its target. so it looks like that is not the fed's position, that as soon as you see the 2% and higher, we bette

what does he know? [laughter] one phrase that does not appear in the constitution is separation of church and state. and that is often misunderstood. separation of church and state is actually paraphrased from a letter that thomas jefferson wrote to the danbury baptist. it was published in the paper in massachusetts. i'm going to read some of it to you. "believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god that he owes account to none other than for his faith and his worship. that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, not opinions. i contemplate with solemn reverence that the whole american people have declared their legislature shall make no law establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. thus, building a wall of separation between church and state. adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation, on behalf of the rights of conscience, i shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments that restore

what does that mean? it means that presidents, vice president, members of congress, governors have to come and do a bit of scraping with the locals and practice retail politics. somehow, we believe that creates a character. at least, that's the argument. changes, partit of it is tradition. is theer piece of it humiliation factor that even the strongest candidates are put through in a place where you have to stand in a snow bank and answer 15 questions that the international monetary fund patiently. it's not easy. host: i was going to ask you. >> look, the criticisms of new hampshire are completely legit. i am about as bought into the system as possible. i went to college in des moines. i made my way to new hampshire, this is my seventh presidential primary. i am about as biased as you can be. but the criticisms are real and they are completely legit. they are not diverse states. their largely rural states at a time when america is becoming increasingly urban. it frames the conversation around issues that

does. the terror organization the p k k i'm talking about the why p.g. there syrian army turkey has repeatedly make calls to nato to recognize this group as a terror organization they've made calls for support they've also asked for support regarding a safe zone in northeast syria and turkey has been left all by itself on this matter and frankly the turks and the administration feel very very betrayed by their u.s. allies and nato allies if it's given so much it's if it's receiving so little what's the point of still being a member of this organization that is pretty costly and that is targeting one of the countries that turkey considers so its partner which is russia they go still does have many values it is a 29 member alliance it's a huge insurance policy for turkey an insurance policy against want or against whom well that remains to be seen you don't know when you're going to need insurance that's why it's called insurance i mean do you need insurance right now you just said that terrorism is a major security threat for turkey i mean you're dealing

does that mean. usmca, nancy pelosi is in a tough spot, either she denies president's win or does not go ahead and seen as not going forward with congress. >> the politicians are playing politics. you are right, not good for manufacturing. it is slowing now for months, have you millions of people waiting to invest billions of dollar because governments are trying to decide on what trade will be. i think, this is a throw back but in a free economy we should have free trade, this is why government should not be involved. david: caroll, the president very often does speak his mind, he says something like i don't look at stock market, he always talking about the stock market when it is up. i think he realizes that when we talks bad about a china deal the market go down, don't you think he would want market to go up before elec election, meaning te will be a deal bev. >> there is a conspiracy theory art of the deal. that market has damage so well he is trying to get it do go down to bring it back up befor

does he still get — does he ever get in touch? do his people ever get in touch?s blessed your cover many, many, many times. do you think boris is still cheesed off when he sees himself, perhaps with jennifer arcuri, on your front page? oh, i do hope so! chuckles. what's your technique for dealing with people who are readily offended online? well, i'm not online, which helps. have you found that that's hard to sustain over the course of the development of the internet? you've two children in their 20s — i mean, what do they think with the fact that dad is not online? i've no idea, presumably because i haven't looked online! no, it's very restful. i do recommend it! i think i could get used to that idea. unfortunately, the bbc‘s media editor may not be allowed to do that. one of the things about the age which we live is that the truth seems up for grabs in a way that it has not been for a long time — maybe not ever in the course of your career. do you think it is fair to say that these days, the penalty or sanction faced by those caught lying has almost disappeared

that does it for "bulls & bears." see you next time. to impeachment is about to get more combative as president trump arrives in london with the first lady for the nato summit. reports, iran, china, russia will hold in coming weeks their first ever joint war drills. the president will not testify. danger for democrats. republicans going on offense. they drafted a harsh new report saying democrats have not made their case. the president's threat to hold up ukraine aid due to corruption, the report says it was entirely prudent. the gop plans to call witnesses as democrats still not moving the needle on impeachment wit

if congress does not include a severability clause, it does not create a presumption. that does bring me to the question here. >> can't we talk a little more about the merits? is a command not a command if the cbo says it is for some people? and indeed, blackstone himself said that people follow the law just to follow the law, because they want to be good citizens. without regard to whether there is a penalty. why isn't the command command? mr. siegel: the court said even though it includes the word "shall" does not have to be read as a standalone command. judge elrod: right, because it was in conjunction with the tax. justice also said the most natural reading of the provision was at the command. tax,u no longer have the why isn't it unconstitutional? mr. siegel: because it is possible to still understand this as a provision that does not create rights or obligations. judge elrod: but how can it be precatory if the most natural reading of it is a command that does require action by the federal government telling somebody to buy insurance? mr. siegel: this is an altern

around how does it do so? >> on, the way that it does it is exactly what president washington warned about, by inviting a foreign government to influence our elections, it takes the right away from the american people and it turns that into a right that foreign governments decide to interfere for their own benefit. foreign governments don't interfere to benefit us. they intervene to benefit themselves. >> thank you, professor gerhardt, you have quinn extensively about our system of checks and balances, what happens to that system when the president undertakes a blockade of congress's impreechlt inquiry -- impeachment query and orders all recourse? >> when the president does that, the separation of powers means nothing. the subpoenas that have been issued, of course, are lawful orders. in our law schools, we would teach ourp students, this is an easy straight forward situation, you comply with the law. lawyers all the time have to comply with subpoenas but in this situation the full scale obstruction, full scal

>> it does say treason, bribery --dash. [inaudible] >> what those are, the person has so seriously abused his e office that he has put the country in jeopardy. by listing those two specific crimes, the constitution gives the sense that you only get impeached for something that is a serious threat to the country. a serious abuse of the office. >> how speaker nancy pelosi said earlier when she reacted to the first public hearing. thi want you to react to it. here's what speaker pelosi has to say. >> on the investigation front, i thought it was a successful day for truth. people he appointed. a person he appointed mosttl recently to the state department again, none of us have come to congress to impeach a president. we come here to do the work of the american people. the most bipartisan way possible find our common ground where we can. stand our ground, where we cannot. you heard the appointment of the president. speaking very unambiguous concerns. a courageous public servant. the devastating testimony corroborated evidence of

i mean, he does thejoke for us. this i mean, he does thejoke for us. was a smart this i mean, he does the joke for us. was a smart speci there this was a smart special because there was a proper public interest in this story, and the public money had gone to this woman who dances around a dancing pole. essentially thejoke around a dancing pole. essentially the joke was that boris had yet again been caught out. he is saying, i need some technology lessons and she is saying, floppy disk or hard drive. there is a properjoke here. boris is saying to his new girlfriend, i don't lie to women anymore and she is saying, except the queen, obviously. and that is not a legal problem. that is the judgement. anyway, this is ourjob. and you sometimes jump judgement. anyway, this is ourjob. and you sometimesjump on anniversaries as well. yes, this is when boris became prime minister. which many people equate with an event as unlikely as landing on the moon. but he did, and there's this brilliant picture of him just going into numb

does that surprise you? what does it mean?idates heading into the debates have to calculate whether it's worth taking the risk of going after any of the candidates, particularly the frontrunner. as we've seen in the past, some of the candidates who have been vocal in their criticism, they're not there. kamala harris dropped out. cory booker didn't make the debate. biden had his strongest performance so far. he wasn't facing the attacks. it was pete buttigieg. biden was sharper, a bit more crisp in answers. he gave a really strong answer when it came to talking about the need for bipartisan corporati cooperation. he noted he has reason to be upset with republicans given the personal attacks against him and his family. he still believes they need to work together. another person who had a strong night was amy klobuchar. this format gave her the opportunity to have a little more of the spotlight and make her case why her experience and track record of winning is going to be important as democrats select their nominee. >> laura, i

that does it for "bulls & bears". have a nice night. >> more credibility problems for the democrats the rhetoric and the contradiction ramping up in more support for impeachment vegans, nancy pelosi does not hate president trump while seeking to destroy him. and nancy pelosi has a cnn town hall after announcing impeachment but shut down any questions about impeachment. more in that and democrats are racing to impeachment with legal probes in the media say is the shortest process in history. an incomplete case, major gaps, missing pieces, political reports impeachment broken. serious credibility problems for adam schiff claiming the democrats early running a solemn process so adam schiff tells new yorker magazine that the president does not give a [bleep] about what's good for the country, legal experts said adam schiff broke the law with this terrifying abuse of power. the d.c. publication says adam schiff has a new and distressing weapon in warfare. adam schiff the first congress meant to expose political rival recor

this is the only one that does something and does something in a positive way. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from hawaii is recognized. mr. case: we understand that for some industries interested in the exploitation of our oceans that marine mammal protection act is inconvenient. we understand that we ask for limitations. on the activities of those industries that would otherwise not demonstrate any discernible concern for our oceans and we reject the basic premise that that regulation is not necessary for our oceans. our marine mammals deserve our protection and we have protected them and we have worked through the give-and-take of legitimate activities in the oceans where they can and should be balanced with impacts on our marine mammals. again, i respectfully submit that this particular proposal which has been as the ranking member points out, thoroughly vetted in prior congresses, although not brought to the oor or can, in fact, yield a good solid debate. thank you. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. .

and it is my opinion that we will still have work to do if the senate does not convict. so to this end i want to use an example so people will understand the point that i'm making. the president himself has said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue. these are the president's words. and he would not lose his base of support. but if he does that with mall list aforethought -- mall last -- malice aforethought regard regardless what happens in the senate, if the senate does not convict rningts the president can come before the bar of justice again. this is the bar of justice for a president who commit impeachable acts. this is the only place wrt president can be brought before the bar of justice while he's president, right here. if he does such a thing with malice aforethought, i would bring articles of impeachment before this august body for consideration. my prayer is that the senate will do its job. and not only receive the articles of impeachment, but also act on them because i believe that the president ought to be convicted and removed from office. i have said before a

so what does it do? it looks around the house and spots a cat and calculates nutritional value of the cat and cooks the count for dinner. because it does not know about the sentimental value of the cat. with systems that know that they don't know the value of everything. they would say, the cat may have the value of being alive that i don't know about so cooking the cat not be an option. at least it would ask permission and call me up on my cell phone and say is it okay if we cook the cat for dinner and i would say no. is it okay if we turn the ocean into acid to reduce the carbon level and that mr.. no don't do that. that's point number one. you get invasive behavior. they can still do things as long as it understands preferences in a particular direction i want a cup of coffee, if it can get that without missing the rest of the world is happy to do it. the second point it will allow itself to be switched off and this is like the one plus one equals two of phase a.i. you cannot switch off. why will it a

who does policy? does it come at the end of the ?ay, depend on president trump >> the president announces as he decides to. he suddenly announced he would put tariffs on steel and aluminum, catching everybody's surprise, including u.s. officials. so he can announce policy just like that. however, there has been serious negotiations going on with high-level officials and that process seems to be continuing regardless of what the president is saying. we can see his comment was perhaps him just pondering the possibility. francine: you could describe it as a chess game, but is this tactfully a strategy? downplaying his desire for a deal. freddie: it is a chess game, but no one quite knows the rules. yous clearly his tactic, if have read "art of the deal." it is always a feature of his negotiations. his war with china is a great battle to be fighting. it gives him a lot of promise, same way in 1984 we are at battle with the east and west. if he can rumble the song he has got something to continue to promise as a victory in the future. i d

because they think that people won't miss them. >> somebody does. >> yes, somebody does. somebody did. >> like gerai's mother, who records revealed live in -- lived in a tiny home in oklahoma. and even before the detective got the words out -- >> i felt it. she was gone. >> her daughter been so happy, charming, outgoing. then a boyfriend convinced her to please him she'd have to turn tricks. this is gerai. >> he just honked trying to get her attention. >> a self-proclaimed vigilante group in oklahoma city caught her on camera back in 2012. but gerai left the boyfriend, turned her life around, so jody thought. but then that awful phone call from detective trapp. >> i was screaming, like screaming. >> the detective made a promise to that mother. department matter what joyces gerai may have made. she, the detective, would work this case as hard as she ever had. >> we literally went from each little motel to each little motel showing her picture and having the clerk run her name to see if she had stayed there. >> and eventually she found the room where she had been staying, i

does not allow that.t because the two leaders get than trump did with the previous prime minister, doesn't mean they would be able to get around that. and he's completely obsessed with rules and regulations. manyat is one of the reasons why people voted to leave the e.u. because they looked at those regulations and decided they did not want to be beholden to them. whether or not they are genuinely affected by that remains to be seen, but the e.u. regulations have been a major sticking point in the entire debate. .uy: thank you let's check in with the bloomberg first word. phase one of the trade deal between u.s. and china will be signed in a week or so according to white house trade advisor officials. i hong kong newspaper says that the chinese vice premier will lead a delegation to washington to sign the deal. jong-un korea kim expected to use his annual speech to ratchet up pressure on president trump. for months he has been threatening to take a new path in nuclear talks if the present doesn't sweeten

host: how does this 2019 impeachment inquiry, where the process is now, how does this align with what the constitution says the process should be? guest: the constitution does not say much about what the process should be. it has a couple of really important things. first, in article one, section two, it says that the house should have the sole power of impeachment. then, in the part about the senate, it says the senate should have the sole power to try impeachments and that impeachment should be presided over by the chief justice. impeachedresident is and conviction is by two thirds of the senate but should not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold future offices of honor or profit. the final section which is really important, and i would love viewers to get out the constitution -- in fact, i will do it to consult the text -- the national constitution center has this wonderful interactive constitution that has convened the top liberal and conservative scholars in america to write about every clause of the constitution. article two, section four. host: l

does it. how much truth is there to all of that? john: i think you hit it pretty much on the head. as you know, and one of the things i might add, after the civil war was over, a lot of the generals on both sides were thinking of writing their memoirs. why? because people were interested and would buy their books and they would make money, etc., and they would get a chance to put their story out. here is what i really did. on the union side in 1875, william tecumseh sherman wrote his memoirs. how can we put it? he was very blunt. he said exactly what he thought and who was no good and who did not do what he should have done, etc. that is 1875. grant has been asked to do this, too. what happens even before this is century magazine puts out the " battles of leaders" series. they want to get grant because if you get grant, you get everybody. grant says i'm not interested. besides, i'm working with my aide. if you want to know what i think about the civil war, check with him. don't bother me. besi

for what purpose does mr. cohen seek recognition? >> strike theek last word. >> the gentleman is recognized. >> i took theater and drama when i was in college, one course. i was told the first thing you have to do is having the willing suspension of disbelief. the republicans obviously took that course over and over and over again and they don't -- they're the fifth avenue crowd. they've talked about sondland. that's theut man the president appointed as his ambassador to the eu. that's the man he said was a great guy. that's the man who is still employed. and sondland said, they were all in the loop, pompeo, giuliani, mulvaney, bolton. they were all in the loop and it was about the quid pro quo. it was about having an investigation announced on cnn and then you'll get the military aid. sondland told -- and warsaw, one of the aides to president zelensky, you've got to announce the investigation. it was a strong arm. they did it. and where do we get these people in thee loop to testify? they've been asked to tes

what purposes does mr. deutch -- >> unanimous consent request. >> gentleman is recognized. >> >> unanimous con sent to submit to the record the may 23rd letter from john rude certifying the government of ukraine has taken action to make constitutional reforms to -- >> without objection. >> i move to strike the last word. >> thank you, mr. chairman. the ranking member is right, it's important to repeat some of what's been said because most of america doesn't watch all day long, but for people who do, they need to understand that the reason we're here, the reason that we're moving forward on articles of impeachment, is because the president of the united states abused his power by soliciting foreign interference in his own re-election, thereby cheating american voters. it's true that on may 23rd, the date that undersecretary of defense certified that ukraine had taken action to make institutional reforms to combat corruption, it's true that they had done that that day. it's an important day because we've talk

but overall, bitcoin does not necessarily need regulatory approval the same way libra does.launched in this nondescript kind of way and now spread around the world. there are 40,000 nodes around the world supporting bitcoin. its success does not hinge on regulatory clarity, but as the overhang clears, it is definitely constructed for bitcoin. haidi: if you say trading is not the way to view or play bitcoin, and you need to take a longer-term step back to look at the possibilities, how do you actually capitalize on that opportunity if you are not trading? spencer: i think one thing's position sizing. to take a step back, i think it is a bolder bet to say bitcoin will be less successful over the next five years than the past five years. all the trends suggest otherwise. whether it is the value of transactions processed like i discussed or what do people think of bitcoin. we ran a survey in fall 2017 in the middle of a raging bull market, we had another one in spring 2019. it surveys more than 2000 american adults. we use it to gauge the general population's awareness, percepti

does not have value going forward it just needs it just means that there needs to be more of a look into the organization creation of a new mandate for nato and i really believe that this is something that's going to be talked about over this $365.00 days until the next summit because regardless of the reactions of comments he was definitely right there are problems inside nato this is something that president ad want to talk about focus on the specific comment by the by mr mccraw about nato supposedly brain death to which president. reacted very negatively how do you explain such a negative reaction by the turkish president hugo micron's assessment of day and of the day doesn't really contradict what they're doing himself has been saying about the lack of the he said this about the lack of 1st of prosody about the lack of me chill in the standing calling the brain dead right before the leaders' summit is a very undiplomatic move and it's true and the president erred on likes to telling truth with voters and to his partners i suppose right if we look at the lead up into the nato sum

what does that actually mean? what does it actually imply? well, it says that individuals are sovereign over their own lives. and what does it mean to say that you're sovereign over your own life? it means that each and every individual is self-owning and self-governing. and that life is sacrosanct and the right to life also embedded in it is the moral right for each and every individual to pursue those values which promote their lives. all right. what about the right to liberty? what is the right to liberty? the right to liberty means a kind of unobstructed freedom to think, choose, act, produce and acquire both material and piritual values. it's unobstructed freedom, although constrained by the right to liberty of other individuals. all right. now, the declaration of independence does not include a ight -- a natural right to liberty. but i'm going to include it basically because thomas jefferson and the author of the declaration believed that property was just as much a fundamental right as were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness an

does this is where it comes from? does it come from government?gest bang for our buck? catherine: the energy transition has to be private -- has to be financed by the private sector. there is not enough government money to make the change happen. it is financing innovation, it is financing new companies, it is financing existing companies. the financial sector has an important role to play. that said, the government does set the rules for the game. it does set cap and trade or a a strategy for creating an environment where the relative prices facing buyers and innovators and sellers are such that the preference is to use the low fossil fuel mix. we will spend a tremendous amount of money on energy over the next 20 to 40 years. it is a matter of changing the preferences about what you are going to buy, sell, or innovate. that is about relative prices and about where the government comply or roll. on your level, do you feel like you miss out on opportunities like building a pipeline from the permian to the u.s. gulf coast in the short term because y

bloomberg does pretty well too.o those numbers tell you about the state of the democratic race and state of the democratic electorate. >> joe biden keeps trucking along. there is all the flaws. he gives bad answers. certainly in debates he has occasional head scratchers of answers but electorate is looking at their options, the democratic electorate, we think this is probably our safest bet to beat president trump. a lot of polling both nationally and swing state crucial states bears that out. what struck me the democratic primary voters on sort of the porridge test, is it too left, too right or just right when it comes to positions on issues, joe biden has a double-digit lead on that question over both elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. if you break it out not just democrats, nationally, you ask all voters, do these people have the right ideas, bernie and warren are both at 31% who say yes we're good with that. that is less than 1/3 of the population comfortable with the positions of warren and sanders that's sig

but who does not martha pardon? >> i have honestly never thought about the but i'm very interested to see some new governors, governor newsom in california, and in illinois do something that i would want to do as well and both have exercised the governor's pardon power to pardon individuals who are not undocumented immigrants at risk of being deported under the current policy that treat the sheer fact of being undocumented as a crime and in the case of governor christer, he forgave a manhood served in the u.s. military and was charged with a drug offense and convicted and he served his sentence. at that point, that seemed like a good use of the pardon power. someone who had shown he paid his dues in multiple ways and should not face deportation. >> what about your former student broke obama. how did he do in terms of pardon? >> i'm very proud of my own more recent students who approach me and said can we ask president obama to write the harvard law review. i said i think he's a little busy and they said no, he could

he does a lot of name calling , he does a lot of finger pointing, but he hasn't given a single reason why there shouldn't be documents and witnesses. so we say to mr. president, we say to president trump, release the emails, let your aides testify. we say to leader mcconnell, a fair trial with the facts, only the facts. ready for your questions. >> senator mcconnell said he would or he has not ruled out, but he wants to wait until congress is back in session. senator schumer: the witnesses and documents are the main argument here. we must decide them and hopefully we can decide them in a bipartisan way before going forward with the trial. leader mcconnell has said let's go forward with the trial and then decide documents, nothing would prevent him from having the arguments made by each counsel where there is nothing new and then dismissing the case. we aren't going to stand for that. we at the very minimum will require votes from all the senators on each of the witnesses and about each of these sets of documents. and i don't think my colleagues, democrat or republican, are going to wa

speak of the problem is, i don't know what the federal government does if it does step in.the state of texas, austin was a ridiculous mess with homelessness. it was governor greg abbott who stepped in. with gavin newsom, he led the mess that was san francisco, the aiding and abetting of homelessness. you have to break it down, there are people that can get help. you have people that are dealing with addiction issues, and then you have the people who have mental health issues. you have to attack leasing separately. this is not a partisan problem. this is our problem. california does exacerbate it because of the real estate costs, but my beloved indianapolis can go down that same road and start to touch on it here and there, and it has to do with leadership that does not accept the status quo. there is no accepting of homelessness. that has to be the baseline from which everything else grows. >> julie: capri, what is the problem? and what is the solution? and are liberals at all to blame for contributing to the problem? >> i think that leaders, no matter where they are are go

when does she become a meme?e's taking on donald trump and he's a loser pretty much every time. >> this is from november 15th, talking on cbs, nancy pelosi. >> he should not frivolously throw out insults. but that's what he does. i think part of it is his own insecurity as an imposter. i think he knows full well that he's in that office way over his head. >> it's incredible that soft spoken, yet very pointed and she goes toe totoe with the president. >> and accurate in her diagnoses. and somebody who probably more than anybody else in the country right now has the ability to rattle donald trump, to put him on his heels, not only because smee controls the levers of the congress but seemingly on a personal level. when the president had such a reaction suggesting she praise from him and what has been remarkable is this has not been an easy road to nancy pelosi. she's had to withstand criticism in her own house, where trump was named as a criminal coconspirator, the mueller report, where she really didn't want to res

old is he, does he wear glasses or not, how old is he in real life, does he like shopping, does he gogucci, nordstrom's or macy's or does he go to normal stores and buy food or does he go to other places? >> all right, finn has a whole lifestyle. his clothes are provided by the resistance, unfortunately, so he doesn't get to go down to gucci. >> do droids eat or go to the bathroom or do they just pee in their pants? >> um -- uh -- their pants. >> this question is for poe. are you going to be a big character in this movie or are you going to be a tiny character? >> are you going to be a [ bleep ] character like you always are or are you going to do something meaningful this time? i appreciate you saying that. >> we all say it, but it's nice for you to verbalize it. >> that's exactly what i asked jj, as well. and that's why they created your character. >> enter me! >> how old is chewbacca? and how tall is he and how much does he weigh and does he eat a lot of calories or does he stay fit and run or jog or do peloton or ride a bike or do any other sport that involves running or doing stu

but what does this say. >> sure, right. don't know, before the president became president, all of a sudden turned to stolln and pol pot put together he was pretty popular, you can even find colbert, kissing his butt before he became president, now he spends his whole monologue shredding the president. >> i also take people with people's pace in holiday movies if they are watching home alone 2 when they could be watching die hard. if you want to erase donald trump from pop culture, you will have a hard time, more than 30 tv shows and movies. and with second and the industry, and the nannies and the fresh prince. he was really popular, i and a g part of pop culture. david: i have to jump in with a point. in point of fact, every building this is according to some people in industry, that he owned or had management over, there was something in there that said if you film in one of his buildings, you have to give him option of having a cameo. >> i -- we're having that conversation, but we're fulfilling a stereotype with this nar

at the same time, if china goes up -- francine: what does it to to gdp? -- what does it do to gdp?e stand this holding pattern? peter: in regard to the u.s., probably quite some time. the u.s. is big enough and slow enough and is a very large to messing margin -- very large domestic market. in the grand scheme of things, that is fine. something,six point so it is not hurting the u.s. at the moment. prices go up and if china does retaliate, things could get a lot nastier. francine: if we have a phase one , does the market rally? peter: i think there's a potential for a rally. the markets probably think that there's a possibility we won't get the worst outcome. having said that, they are not sure. any possibility the tariffs will be revoked, then that could be good for markets. francine: what does it mean for the fed? peter: in terms of where the fed stands at the moment. -- we wait and see. question that we also discussed on our markets live log, should markets be pricing in a 2020 move? peter: yes. there is a strong possibility that if the u.s. continues lose a bit of momentum at a

probably not a criminal thing, it does not need to be shut down, but probably does not deserve a tax deduction. [laughter] [applause] if we come back to sort of the, the much healthier world of finance and capitalism, and back to the theme at hand, one of the questions is what are the kinds of scales we should be working on in 2019? how would one update the wriston perspective? i think that one sort of framework for this is -- there is a different question you can ask on the level of manhattan, new york city, it is sort of the capital city of the world and we cannot really go back from that because we cannot go back to the capital city of new york. albany has more standing under the constitution they new york city, but we do not want to turn into albany or something like that. so there are questions about how we succeed at scale in these places. so silicon valley's version of this question. i want to focus on the united states version and the question for the united states is, is the best strategy for the u.s. to go big, to go with this sort of global scale? this has probably been a

and all that this does, the reason that the witch hunt won't hunt is all it does is appeal to that 25%d they're already energized, they're already going to work for him. there's only so much more to turn from 10 to 11 isn't really going to do -- >> and just quickly. i do think it's important to do epthat in mind, the fact that donald trump and the republicans really can't expand their base. where i think there is a lot more depth in the democratic party. but that is the concern that for democrats to try really hard not to nationalize this race. that's why we ran and won in 2018 when he had individual members of congress actually running these really hyperlocal races and get down to sort of what voters really do care about. but the republicans need this race to be nationalized. >> you mentioned brett kavanaugh. it failed for the republicans. >> if you flip it on its head, does this also have the potential to rile up democrats such that it's a wash? >> yeah. i mean, you could make the argument any way here. but at the end of the day i don't think we can underestimate the president's abil

am does it matter i'll ask all the panelists does it matter to impeachment that the $391000000.00 u.s. taxpayer dollars in military assistance that the president withheld was ultimately delivered professor feldman does that matter to the question of impeachment no it does not if. if the present united states attempts to abuse his office that is a complete impeachable offense the possibility that the president might get caught in the process of attempting to abuse his office and then not be able to pull it off does not undercut in any way the impeachability of the act if you'll pardon the comparison president nixon was subject to articles of impeachment preferred by this committee for attempting to cover up the watergate break in the fact that president nixon was not ultimately successful in covering up to break him was not grounds for not impeaching him the attempt itself is the impeachable act professor karlan does it matter to impeachment that the unfounded investigations the president sought were ultimately never announced no it doesn't and if i could give an example that i think s

jonathan: what does the cabinet look like in the coming weeks? how does it change?of the bank of -- the governor of the bank of england leaves, too. rosalind: he had most of his diehard supporters in there. when he removed theresa may, he essentially fired a bunch of tories who he thought were against him. brexiteers the hard from the far right of the party. you may not expect to see cabinet move or shift that much this early in the game. jonathan: when we caught up with people in the fx market, talking about what comes next in 2020, the rate cut call came up ready quickly. the bank of england has 75 basis points to play with. do they follow through on a cut anytime soon? ben: i don't think so. think after yesterday, we got a lot more stability. if anything, i suspect we are talking about rates going up rather than going down from here. jonathan: the bank of england -- tom: the bank of england plays a part, but it comes down to that fiscal space. rosalind and our team have written a piece about this. frame the physical space of the united kingdom right now -- the fi
