i wouldn't say that they weren't doing anything or they were apathetic.d to know what to do because a congressional investigation would be the way to do it legally, but when you have republicans blocking that, there's not much an average citizen can do. >> if 50 years from now we discover something that happened here that was absolutely appalling, then the other part of the question that historians will be grappling with is what did the american people do in this moment when -- i mean the boston tea party, we know what happened. the civil war, we know what lincoln did, we know what happened. what are they going to say about what we did or didn't do in this moment? >> it is hard to see what average people can do outside of protesting. i mean i have wonderful students who are very idealistic, and they march and they protest, but what can they do literally and legally? we're a nation of law. and when -- >> and the law was broken. >> when the law -- you know, the law is not being enforced, as you know. laws are there, but they have to be enforced. there's a l

shery: when it comes to the british pound, pretty apathetic response to triggering article 50.hat because it was mostly priced in? >> i think brexit is the story of last year. in thet see volatility coming weeks, not because of the u.k. situation, but because of the french elections. people may look to the pound sterling as a state haven to protect them. might be sterling affected by brexit politics. do stick around because we want to continue this conversation. up, yousef and i they saw in the battle. yousef: i have some chart circuit training. may the best chart win. this is bloomberg. ♪ yousef: you are watching bloomberg. i am in dubai. shery: i'm in hong kong. it's time for a battle of the charts. we will fight it out. our guests will pick the winner. here we go. take a look at my chart on the bloomberg. i want to show you the difference between soft and hard eco-data. this chart shows the difference using them as indices of surprises. stop data is the blue line. the soft they is reflecting that people think are getting better or will get better in the future. that is not t
