b or single b rating, now you've got a whole different cohort of analysts and people who are willing to own you and you as an issuer, your world changes dramatically when that happened area >> let's talk about what has performed so far. loansback and leveraged off the december loan, the same and high-heeled. why hasn't investment grade participated in the same way? is it the concern you are picking on right now? >> we would say yes, and it's putting it in a big asset class. keep in mind, half of it is triple bd if we think back to the beginning of this economic cycle, only about 35% was triple time, that'llame segment of market is a little more than doubled in size. everything these guys of said. for high-yield in particular, had a really rough fourth quarter. i think that there was potentially a bit of a dislocation from some of the underlying fundamentals certainly in some of the companies were it was very sentiment driven and so we saw an aggressive snapback. but they were ultimately supportive of that market. as you mentioned, it's the first issuance in six weeks. that hasn't happened since 2008. i'm >> not a high-yield person specifically. the first months of having no months whatsoever. >> cash balances potentially got low for many. there was some appetite there. i think the other point that i would make is my high-yield colleagues have mentioned that the rates being discounted are well in excess of what our expectations are. expectations are more for a 2% rate. i think that's part of

b. a single b. rating. now, you've got a whole different cohort of analysts to look ating you and a whole different cohort of people who are willing to own you and you worldissuer your changes rather dramatically when that happens. >> let's talk about what's in 2019. so far we've had an aggressive highack, the same in yield. why hasn't invest grade samecipated in the way? >> we would say it's the concern and thinking back, and puttingrade it in a big asset class, b.f of it is triple and if we think back to the beginning of this economic about 35% was triple b. and at the same time that whole segment of market is a little more than double in size. >> lisa? agreeh, i mean, i with everything these guys have said. you know, for high yield in a really, had really rough fourth quarter. i think there was potentially a bit of a dislocation from some of the underlying fundamentals where it was very sentiment driven so we saw an aggressive snapback but the technicals were supportive of that market and, as you mentioned, it's the first issuance in six weeks, that 2008, happened since not a high yield person, but it's the first months of having no issuance whatsoever in december since 2008, yeah. >> so i think cash balances low forlly got many. and, you know, there was some -- there was some appetite there. i think the other -- i think the other point that i would is my high yield colleagues have mentioned default rates are well in excess of what expectations are, something more like four, four and a half percent when expectations are more like a 2% t

b. on monday at that moment that plan b. as we now know is amendable by m.p.'s in parliament who can put forward and attach to it their own preferred visions of the future which will then be voted upon so next week may be the week when real possibilities emerge or other possibilities start to become eliminated but yes as you say these government still led by to reason may now with the way for thin majority that it takes from the democratic unionists in northern ireland staggers on without real power it seems to make change happen and therefore this country remains deadlocked and how what is there from london thanks very much dana. well french prime minister is holding talks with his cabinet to plan a response to britain's brac set to vote france as preparations are being made for possible no deal with the world as money or lack one has already signaled his willingness to delay the his exit from the block and suggested an extension of the march deadline of more reaction from the e.u. that's because i wanted david chaytor he's in brussels though david some relief their feeling is that they're still dealing with to raise the may but they might be looking at a different deal. well let's put that in context first of all the european lawmakers here very unkindly described the scenes in the house of commons as a theater of the absurd would be very clear they take it very seriously indeed the prospect of no deal breaks it happening on march the twenty ninth because the damage will not only be to the united kingdom's economy but also to the many economies here in the european union all of which are facing a slowdown and a turn down so everybody including the german chancellor angela merkel and the french president emmanuel michel are very keen to make sure that contingency plans are in place if that worst case scenario does develop now your point is is there another deal on the table no there's not that open to negotiations but those negotiations will not mean any substantial changes to the irish backstop for instance and that is one of the main sticking points for the house of commons so they can offer reassurances they can offer changes to the political statement hopes for the trade relationship off to withdraw but at the moment i think everybody is concentrating on the idea that cliff edge is much too close why not reason may coming here asking for an extension of article fifty the withdrawal agreement. push it back to give more time for the house of commons to come to terms with what's happening to reduce the turmoil to get a clear vision to allow new solutions to evolve and then i think you'll find that the e.u. is very very. receptive to such an idea they want to see some order out of this chaos so before the agreed to and the idea of pushing that that deadline further back into the the rest of what discussions can we expect between the u.k. prime minister and the leaders there in brussels over the coming days. i think she's not got much time for that how sure she's got a very busy agenda talking to the other parties but i mean yes she'll be on the phone all the time to the french to the germans the italians to the spanish she needs allies and of course to be irish prime minister she needs some support she needs some guidance and they too will be very eager to hear what her approach is going to be but at the moment i don't think anyone can guess what's going to happen over the next few days apart from the fact that whatever she produces towards the parliament on monday will again probably be rejected so i think mostly political leaders here in europe are waiting for another plan a plan c. perhaps we should call it which will take place after another defeat in the house of commons next week ok well let's just stick with plan b. for now david many thanks for joining us there from brussels. everyone is about the news and i still has claimed responsibility for a suicide attack that killed nineteen people in northern syria among the dead four americans two soldiers and two civilians it comes as weeks after president all jump announced he was pulling u.s. troops out of syria because eisel had been defeated bicycle hain reports from washington d.c. . blood on the streets a popular restaurant blown apart american helicopters rushed in to help the wounded and remove the dead in the city of men bitch the u.s. military confirming on twitter that u.s. service members were killed the islamic state of iraq in the levant says they are responsible and that they were targeting the coalition u.s. senator lindsey graham directly blamed the attack on president donald trump's promise to pull u.s. troops out quickly my concern by the statements made by president trump is that you've set in motion enthusiasm by the enemy we're f

b looks like for britain and brexit. maybe plan b does stand for brexit, but who knows. inlor: the major averages the u.s., you are seeing a small recovery. we are off the lows of the session but still in negative territory. techasdaq and textiles -- stocks were off one percent or more. the s&p 500 off just about 0.5%. earlier, you had all of the sectors in negative territory. you are starting to see two of these turn positive. one is the financial index, getting a big boost by citigroup, up 3% despite some headline numbers that were concerning, and real estate turning positive. some of these bond-sensitive sectors turning higher. the 10 year yield recovers a little bit, holding steady at 270. -- 2.70. guy: china's exports and imports posted their biggest drop since 2016 in december, as orders were expected to fade and decelerated global growth hits domestic buys. we are joined by mike mckee, bloomberg's international economic policy correspondent. what this results him is a bigger trade surplus for china. that is something that is parissting in the negotiations we currently have underway. how bad were the numbers, and how will it change the bigger picture when it comes to the trade war? a pullingid see forward of expert orders to china from the united states because of the tariffs, so experts were down 4.4% in december. you might think that would be offset on the import side, but imports down more than 7%. the chinese economy slowing on a secular basis and because of the trade wars. the irony is that the trade surplus rose with the united states, because the chinese economy is slowing, the united states economy growing. all we did was suck in more chinese goods, rather than buildings at home. on thet creates pressure chinese. but you look at the market reaction today to this news, and the idea that china might be slowing more than people thought -- that is bad news for donald trump. both sides perhaps have an impetus to make some sort of deal. taylor: we have a good chart on my terminal, talking about the export and import demand you were just talking about. the chinesee economy slowing all of it. you have concerns about deflation as well last week. what steps is the government taking on the monetary and fiscal front to offset some of the flows? mike: they are doing a lot. 2016 was the last time they had a real slowdown, and they stimulated the economy more directly the may have been lately, because they have been trying to get hold of a credit double. that they are lowering reserve requirements. to make ordering banks loans to more companies. they are asking localities to stimulate infrastructure spending. they may be stimulating to about a 4% level at this point. the chinese economy growing very slowly. it could help as 2019 goes on. if the chinese economy does pick up, it is good news for the world. whether that has an impact on the trade negotiations is hard to tell. ironically, europe might get caught in this. it does not have a seat at the table when it comes to the trade story, that you only have to look at production data out of europe to appreciate it is a high beat to trade on what is happening with the chinese economy, germany in particular. mike: and that is bad news for china. industrial production around the eurozone down significantly. germany down as well. theyconomic forecast -- see growth falling to 1.9% for 2019 and 2020. not a recession, but something that may feel like it. the europeans, when you put the eurozone altogether, are bigger buyers of chinese goods than even the united states. that is bad news for china if both its main customers are slowing down, which just adds to the convocations. -- the complications. guy: michael mckee joining us in new york. a chiefme in london is investment officer and cio. is pretty good. you would think that would encourage beijing to want the trade deal to get done. >> both sides need this done now. you have the white house administration, the government shutdown, a slowing economy, and the stock market is very important to donald trump. you can only fight so many battles. it is important right now. guy: continue with this rally? is that what your position for? patrick: i think the market is still pessimistic. the bad news -- there is a lot of it. it is a growing economy, but slowing growth. there is risk aversion. it has probably gone too far. recessionary risks are growing, but should not be a base case. is still a potential risk rather than a base case at this point. areor: you say the markets too pessimistic. from a valuation perspective, have we repriced to pessimistically where some fundamentals look good? patrick: for me, emerging markets look very good. it is hard to buy emerging markets at 10, 11 times earnings. if we get a trade deal, if we do not think there is going to be a recession, if you are paying 10 or 11 times for emerging markets, you are getting a dividend. that is a region that can grow. you are getting paid a dividend yield to get the kerry. as long as the doom and gloom outcomes don't happen, i think a lot of the bad news is priced in, in that region. taylor: if bad news is priced them, in that region, do you look on the debt side, more of a local currency play, or a dollar play over there as well? patrick: we have some emerging-market debt in multiple currencies. you are getting significantly larger risk premium, if you take inflation like that. that is the way we are playing it. bondsve inflation-linked from mexico, brazil, getting 4% above inflation to take emerging-market currency risks now. that is a big premium by historical standards. guy: in europe, auto sector valuations looking exceedingly cheap. you appreciate that what looks like bad news, the markets have not taken as really bad news. patrick: i was on your show probably a year ago and we started buying the banks, and every thing i said about the 12 months ago is a little bit better today. they have actually grown last 12 over the months. to one capital ratios are a little better than they were 12 months ago. no one knows, and that is the big overhang for the banks. until we get rid of the bad debt, that is still going to be an issue for europe. europe is going to grow 1.6% this year, we think, which sounds low versus emerging markets, versus the u.s. the growth rate, it is going 1.5%. that is the long-term growth you are going to get out of europe. that should be significant in europe, barring the slowdown from trade that we do not think is going to happen. guy: patrick armstrong joining wealth, chiefi investment officer, going to talk about brexit and theresa may and house of commons. taylor: it is all things brexit today. let's get a check on the first word news with courtney. courtney: president trump said he never worked for russia. the president responded to a report the fbi was so concerned i his actions toward moscow that it began investigating whether he was working on washington's behalf. the president called the investigation a hoax. the president's pick for attorney general, william barr, reportedly will tell senators it is vitally important the mueller investigation is completed area the confirmation hearing begins tomorrow. pentagon reportedly is alarmed by white house requests on iran. according to "the new york times," john bolton had staffers asked the pentagon to provide the white house with military options to attack the country. that came after iranian-backed militants fired rockets into an empty lot on the grounds of the in baghdad. bolton is known as a hawk on iran. in los angeles, public school teachers have gone on strike against the nation's second largest school district. among the issues -- fair wages and smaller class sizes. teacher demands could bankrupt the system, say officials. in the u.k. k, prime minister theresa may has ramped up warnings that brexit could be reversed if parliament blocks are deal. a vote on the measure means conservatives have to back her proposal or risk their dream of leaving the european union. more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries, this is bloomberg. coming up, the u.k. parliament is getting ready for a crucial vote on exit tomorrow, and theresa may is preparing for what looked like a huge defeat. guy: from london, i'm guy johnson. taylor: i'm taylor riggs. this is the european close on "bloomberg markets." here is abigail doolittle. abigail: we are looking at weakness for the major averages. the dow, s&p 500, and nasdaq off 0.5% or more, but off the major lows. haven bonds had been rallying, but at this point, flat. a bit of a risk off picture. if we hopped into the bloomberg and look at the imap, we will see more sectors down than up. 11 sectors lower. the financials and real estate higher. .he bottom, utilities and tech this is pretty stunning. pg&e down about 50% on the day. to worst day going back 1980. this is a three-month chart. we see tragic wildfires in california, shares plunging down more than 81%. this on the news the company is filing for bankruptcy, instead of looking for a bailout from the government. the ceo has also resigned. this company is in crisis. apple and microsoft, investors selling those big tech names, perhaps taking profits from the recent rally this year. western digital and micron, bearish news on both. cut to an underperform, sing a risk of a dividend cut. stanley is morgan warning that 2019 could be somewhat weak. buckeye, the financials were on top. let's look at a chart in the bloomberg. we will see citigroup in the premarket, down on the news fixed income trading mixed .stimates, now of 3% the current quarter is shaping up much better. those shares selling the financial sector overall higher. guy: very interesting markets today. we have seen action in the pound and in the gilt market. we did see gilt yields spiking higher, prices coming down on u.k.eport, one of the broadcaster suggesting the hard brexit group may be persuaded to back theresa may's brexit deal. my understanding -- i have not confirmed -- is that is being denied by the yard t, that -- by the ert. you can see the hairtrigger right now. let's get patrick armstrong's take, from plurimi wealth. how are you positioned? patrick: we are short the ftse 250. we think there will be a softer side of the brexit that will lead to a long transition period while uncertainty creates cyclical overhang on the u.k.. we removed our shorts on sterling, because we think there is a 75% chance of move away from a hard brexit. we think that possibility is getting less and less likely. the pound would crash and inflation would go higher. patrick: it is difficult to say what is going to happen. think the brexit is a smaller and smaller risk, but if we do not get the deal approved in parliament, which is looking unlikely, the soft brexit and a new referendum, extending article 50 -- all of those are much more likely than a hard brexit. taylor: i wonder longer-term, in q1, is all of the uncertainty sort of making you move to cash, or are there possible plays with them other sectors in the u.k. that you are able to take advantage of? patrick: we have large-cap u.k. stocks. we like the european integrated oil companies. cheap.h flow is very you are getting historic dividend yields. those are cheap companies. as long as oil prices don't follow a cliff, we think those dividends are maintainable, with downstream margins probably benefiting in the short-term. oil companies, health care companies, we don't own them, but a weaker sterling -- we would look at those revenues. andor: the slowdown uncertainty in brexit and europe we have been talking about in the u.s. market -- we're kicking off earnings season in the u.s. so much of our conversation is about china. trait concerns, a slowdown -- some analysts are wondering if we are ignoring a slowdown in europe. do you think big companies in and out of the european slowdown and brexit uncertainty? a: i think there is enough allimism in september that of the slowdown will seem far-fetched. as we got into december, that was priced in as a base case. i do not think the economic slowdown in china or europe will catch anyone off. my worry is profit margin. their profit margin, 10.2 percent. it has never been that high in history. i think wage growth and higher interest rates are going to meet -- it into margins in 2019. i do not think it is the revenue or economic outlook that are at risk, but the profit margin. guy: evaluation is already priced, isn't it? patrick: earnings are trading at 50% of normal. it is funny, on the cyclically adjusted price to earnings -- first time ever we have not had a cycle. you go back 10 years, you have had earnings growth. it is cheap on earnings. all the other measures, it slightly extends. step back. a lot of people are trying to make big decisions. what they are going to hit, what they are going to work with -- a lot of these decisions have yet to be made. this point to at make big decisions on when the year -- what the year is going to look like. patrick: brexit is something you might be looking at, u.s.-china trade. we think emerging markets are going to be a big beneficiary on a trade deal. it is not going to be all encompassing, but maybe we get back to where we were 12 months ago. the potential headwind and catastrophes that might happen get removed. guy: what are you waiting? are you still waiting to deploy capital? patrick: we have been deploying capital on every down day, the cloying emerging markets. weaknesssee any market , that is when we will build more. , you are actively averaging him. what about other aspects? hat trick: we are short large-cap growth in the u.s. since august. that is not from higher wages, from interest-rate costs. if you are in social media and data protection, there will be higher regulatory costs, lawsuits. that is a potential area where tech companies might face margin issues. everyone knows about handsets and margin pressures. i think alphabet and facebook might have margin issues. taylor: what might need to happen for you to remove yourself from large-cap companies in the u.s.? patrick: you are looking at the russell 1000 trading at 21 times earnings. that is not crazy expensive. people feel safe to own these large-cap tech companies and pay premiums for them. i think there are cyclical and structural issues that might create headwinds people do not expect. 15% selloff, we would probably close our short. when you talk about russell 1000 growth, how much is related to the fed? theys interesting, that revived their call without rate hikes. they say we can hold off for six more months. how much of the large-cap and domestic story in the u.s. is related to the fed? what are your calls on the fed? patrick: i think the fed hikes two times this year, like they say they are going to do. fed funds futures show a cut is going to happen before a hike. i think we get a hike in june and a hike in december. that is going to come from inflationary pressures. if we get the wage growth i expect, the u.s. economy has gone from an out -- output gap to significantly growing above its capacity. that is the kind of environment where you get higher prices. i think wage growth, higher interest rates -- the economy continues to grow. if you get to an half percent growth in the united states, the market is going to be wrong and the dots are going to be a better predictor. guy: the british prime minister is on her feet in the house of commons. let's take a listen. to do everything to prevent the backstop been needed , and to ensure it would be a temporary arrangement. listening to the debate before christmas, it was clear we needed to go further. to faceed to brussels firmly the concerns of this house. the council went further in addressing our concerns. they reaffirmed the determination to work steadily 2020 establish by alternative arraignment so the backstop will not need to be triggered. it would indeed apply temporarily. in such an event, the e.u. would use their best endeavors to continue to negotiate and conclude as soon as possible a subsequent agreement that would replace the backstop. negotiations on the future relationship could start immediately after the u.k. withdrawal. since the council and throughout christmas and new year, i have spoken to a number of european leaders, and there have been further discussions with the e.u. to seek further assurances alongside the council's conclusion. today, i have published the outcome of these further discussions with an exchange of letters between the u.k. government and the president of the european commission and european council. tasketter from president can -- president tusk concerns mainly that the assurances in the european council conclusions have legal standing in the e.u. mr. speaker, my right honorable friend the attorney general has today,itten to me concerning that in light of the joint response from the presidents of the european council and the commission, these conclusions "would have legal force in international law ," and setting out his opinion -- and setting out his opinion, reinforced by today's letter, that the balance of risk favors the conclusion that it is unlikely the e.u. will was -- wish to rely on implementation of the backstop provision, and further -- and further, it is therefore his judgment that the current draft withdrawal agreement now represents the only politically practicable and available means of securing our exit from the european union. mr. speaker, i know that some like a -- members would unilateral exit or a hard time limit to the backstop. i have explained this to the e.u. and tested these points in negotiations, that the e.u. would not agree to this because they fear that such a provision leaveallow the u.k. to the backstop at any time without any other arrangement in place. and require a hard border to be erected between northern ireland and ireland. i have been very clear with them that this is not something we would ever countenance, that the u.k. is steadfast in its commitment to the belfast agreement, and would never allow a return to a hard order. it is not enough simply to say this. both sides also need to take steps to avoid a hard border when the u.k. is outside of the e.u. failing to do so would place businesses on the island of ireland in an impossible position, having to choose between costly new checks and procedures that would disrupt their supply chain, or breaking the law. so we have the backstop as a last resort. said consistently the best way to avoid a hard border is through the future relationship. that is the sustainable solution as neither of us want to use the backstop. since the council, we have been looking at commitments that would ensure we get our future relationship or alternative arrangements in place by the end of the and limitation period, so there would be no need to enter the backstop and no need for fear that there would be a hard border. of the why in the first further assurances they provided today, the e.u. has committed to begin exploratory talks on of thed provisions future relationship as soon as this parliament has approved the deal and the withdrawal agreement has been signed, and they have seen this could happen immediately after this house boats through the agreement. if this house approved the deal tomorrow, it would give us almost two years to complete the next phase of negotiations, and of course -- and of course we will have the option to extend the implementation period if further time were needed for either one or two years. it is my absolute conviction we can turn the political declaration into legal text in that time, avoiding the need for the backstop altogether. let us also make clear that these talks should give particular urgency to ideas, including use of all available facilities, arrangements, and technologies for replacing the backstop with permanent arrangements. further, those arrangements are not required to replicate the backstop provisions in any respect. contrary to the fears of some honorable members, e.u. will not simply -- not simply insist the backstop is the only way to avoid a hard border. they have agreed to discuss technological solutions and any alternative means of delivering, and to get on this as a priority in the next phase of negotiations. the e.u. has committed to a fast-track process to bring our future trade deal into force once it has been agreed. if there is any delay in modification, he will recommend provisionally applying the relevant parts of the agreement, so we would not need to enter the backstop. such a provisional application years on the for e.u. career deal and would prevent delays and ratification by other e.u. member state parliaments for delaying our deal coming into force. third, the e.u. has provided absolute clarity on the exquisite linkage between the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration, and made that link clear in the way the documents are presented. areow some colleagues worried about an imbalance between withdrawal agreement and a political declaration, because the e.u. cannot reach a legal agreement with us on the future relationship until we are a third country. but the link between them means the commitments of one cannot be banked without the commitments of the other, and the e.u. have been clear they, as a package. bad faith by either side in negotiating the legal instruments that will deliver the future relationship laid out in the political declaration would be a reach of their legal obligations under the withdrawal agreement. fourth, the exchange of letters concerned that the u.k. can unilaterally deliver the commitments we made last week to safeguard the interests of the people and businesses of northern ireland, and their position in our precious union. it gives clear answers to address questions that have been raised to deal with reach. the deal means no change to the arrangements which underpin cooperation in the belfast agreement. there will be a lock on any new laws the e.u. proposers should be added to the backstop, and the u.k. can give a restored northern ireland executive a seat at the table on the joint committee overseeing the deal. mr. speaker, president juncker says exquisitely in his letter that the backstop would represent a suboptimal trading relationship to both sides. we have spoken at length about why we want to avoid the backstop, but it is not in the e.u.'s interest either. gives the u.k. carry-free access to the u.k. -- to the e.u. market, with no free movement of people, no financial contribution, no retirement of the level playing field rules, and no need to allow access to our waters for fishing. furthermore, under these arrangements, u.k. authorities allowthern ireland would a single market with no checks and controls. this means that you relying on the u.k. for the functioning of its own market. so the e.u. will not want this backstop to come into force, and the exchange of letters today makes clear that if it did, they would do all they could to bring it to an end as quickly as possible. nevertheless, i fully understand that these new assurances still will not go as far as some would like. i recognize that some members wanted to see changes to the withdrawal agreement, a unilateral exit mechanism, and thedate, or rejecting backstop altogether. this would have risked other e.u. member states, attempting to roll back on the significant wins we had already achieved, such as control over our waters or the sovereignty of gibraltar. the truth is the e.u. was not prepared to agree to this, and rejecting the backstop altogether means no deal. whatever version of the future relationship you might want to see, from norway to canada to any number of variations, all of them require a withdrawal agreement, and any withdrawal agreement will contain the backstop. ,hat is not going to change however the house boats tomorrow. to those who think they should reject this deal in favor of no deal, the cause we cannot get every assurance we want, i asked, what would a no deal brexit do to strengthen the hand of those campaigning for scottish independence, or those demanding a border poll in northern ireland? surely this is the real threat to our union. just 74 dayswith until march 29, the consequences of voting against this deal tomorrow are becoming ever clearer. with no deal, we would have no implementation period, no security partnership, no guarantees for u.k. citizens overseas, and no certainty for businesses and workers like those i met in stoke this morning. we would see changes to everyday life in northern ireland that would put the future of our union at risk. if rather than leaving with no brexit,is house blocked that would be a subversion of our democracy, saying to the people we were elected to serve that we were unwilling to do what they had instructed. i say to members on all sides of this house, whatever you may have previously concluded, over the next 24 hours, give this deal a second look. it is not perfect, and it is a compromise. when the history books are written, people will look at the decision -- people -- [shouting in the chamber] people will look at the decision of this house tomorrow. do we agree to leave the european union? did we safeguard our security and our union? or did we let the british people down? i say -- i say we should deliver to the british people and get on with building a brighter future for our country by backing this deal tomorrow. i commend this statement to the house. thank you, mr. speaker. i would like to thank the prime minister for an advance copy of her statement. in december, the government shamefully pulled a meaningful vote on her deal, with a promise that -- guy: jeremy corbyn, leader of the opposition party, responding to the statement by theresa may, the prime minister, which was summing up some of the details of the letter received from brussels with regard to the brexit backstop. interesting arguments being made within that statement regarding how we are going to progress from here. our brexit editor joins us. dobson, bloomberg managing editor for european markets. emma, what have we learned about what is going to happen tomorrow in the key vote? they think there is a possibility brexit will be thwarted. she is saying the chances of brexit being thwarted or greater than chances of a no deal brexit. silver market, that is a lining. what we have learned about the vote tomorrow -- we still don't know which amendments will be voted on. the devil will be in the detail. what the final vote looks like tomorrow night will be very much determined by what the amendments are. for example, there was one member at the table who wants to push something which teenagers rest of the the agreement. some amendments will be made on the half tomorrow night. it is unprecedented. that thejust be government motion is not being voted on tomorrow night. we may end up not voting on the deal we have done with brussels tomorrow? emma: conceivably. there is an amendment taking around which seeks to insert a irish date to the backstop. the r backstop is this horrible piece of legal wording in the withdrawal agreement that everybody hates. theresa may has been trying to put a cutoff date onto it. e.u. has said no. now, there is a tory mp who has proposed an amendment which would insert a cutoff date. the government is considering backing this amendment. if the government did back that amendment, what you are voting on is not the withdrawal deal, but an amended withdrawal deal. we will see but the e.u. has to say about that. us an idea ofgive where this story might go. where are the markets position? what is a market-moving event tomorrow? walk us through what a defeat looks like, what order of magnitude? paul: although most people in the market expect that may will be victorious tomorrow, the ofket has seen the balance risks shifted toward a more market-friendly and result from this brexit process. if you look at the options positioning on sterling, it is more positive now. maybe a delay in negotiations. maybe the deal gets through a second time around. goodis seen as generally compared to the worst-case scenario, or maybe may have a second referendum. that is positive for the markets. what people will be watching tomorrow is how close the vote comes in. people are talking about 100 being the magic number, closer than a margin of 100. there is still hope that something can be pushed through eventually. beyond that, it is a little more calamitous. we move into a vote of confidence on the government. the risk might move toward a second election eventually. that would be a much less friendly outcome for the pound and the financial markets in general. taylor: paul, can you talk to me about how markets respond if there is no deal, or if we get more rumors that there could be another no-confidence vote on theresa may, or jeremy corbyn tries to make a move? how does the market price in that uncertainty? in general, markets are pricing in that uncertainty too much, because there is so much that is unknown at this point. if we were to carry on in that environment, it is turning more negative in sterling. talking about 2%, 3%. initial weakening that could go further again. that plays out in different ways, depending which parts of the market you are looking at. some u.k. companies favor a weaker pound. others are more sensitive to brexit, like the banks. an premised are is in awkward situation. credit might come under pressure in that scenario. u.k. government bonds are likely to drive support from anything that does not mean we are going to uncork all the pent-up investment that is waiting on the sidelines. if there is more clarity on brexit, if we were to get to that scenario, there would be the chance we would need to hike. guy: quick question. assuming we do vote on the withdrawal agreement tomorrow, the mp's, and it fails, and it fails significantly, jeremy leader we see on the screen in front of us, has talked about pouncing. this would be his opportunity, with the confidence in the government -- a vote of no-confidence. how does that work? market is trying to figure out how to price some of this in. he could announce it tomorrow night and it would be debated swiftly wednesday morning. he said on sunday that he would do it very soon, but he has to choose his moment. he does not want to do it if he thinks he is going to lose. three days after the defeat, the government has to come back with a plan b. he could decide that is a better moment for a no-confidence vote. will does not do it, he come under a lot of pressure from members of his core team. bet for him to do that. votehing to note, with the of no-confidence -- there is no limit to the number of times he can do it. unlike the other no-confidence vote we had, under the tory party rules -- with this type of look, but there are no restrictions. guy: jeremy is always concerned about look. look, but there are no restrictions. over the next 24 hours, taylor? citibank making a turnaround after the training environment improved slightly in the first quarter. .e bring in michael moore

[kno♪king] ♪ memories. what we deliver by delivering. president trump is staking his reputation with his base on immigration. he is hinting he could declare a national emergency if there's no deal for wall funding in three weeks. if thisek taught us anything, it's that the art of the deal presidentay need to adjust his expectations. the last time ngress was close an immigration deal was 2013. the gang of eight tried and failed to get it done. two republicans who were in that gang still remain in the senate. lindsey graham, who said it would be the end of the trump presidency if he doesn't a get wall built, and my next guest senator marco rubio of florida. welcome ck to "meet the press press." we went through 35 days. the president signed a deal that was the same deal available to him on day one, other than t end date of february 8 to february 15 what did this shutdown accomplish? >> well,opefully it teaches everyone that shutdowns are not good leverage in any negotiation. i think it's important to separate tactics from the policy aims. there's missed opportunities ins we could have had an extension of tps, a huge issue for people here florida, the haitian community. we could have had a three-week extension for -- three-year extension. daca, three years of it's better than right now, they are waiting for a court ruling and what the administration is going to do. hopefully, over the next three weeks, some of the elements can become part of what w do. most important of all, i truly believe that if the president n get strong border security that satisfies his -- what he want, it unlocks the opportunity to do other things on immigration that w need, like figure out something reasonable with the people that not crimi criminals. we have to unlock that. it begins with border security. that's one reason why it's soan impothat we figure out a way to get something done that he is satisfied with so we can move on t the other issues that he has personally expressed a willingness to be involved in. >> the gang of eight said you ne lead with border security. i want to put up here, the 2013 bill had this. it doubled the number of patrol agents, 350 miles of new fencing, universal e-verify ystem, new tracking system and the deal was, the border security mesh wouasures would g immediately, the adjustment to immigration status for varis groups would be phased in. didn't you guys hathe model? is this deal worth taking off the shelf and making some minor adjustments? >> i think there's elements of it that we can --the problem was, it was done in one big utece of legislation. the more stuff youn a bill, the more reasons someone can find to be against it. >> some argue the oer way, senator. make the bill bigger and, yes, okay, there will be things you don't like, but that's the only waet some thing u.s you like. >> that's the theory pitched to me as to why we need one comprehensive plan. it didn't work. r e of the arguments was border security will neppen but the legalization will. there's no doubt it's a tough issue. people looked at it in 2013 and said, this is easy, we're goingi to do this way are figuring out how difficult this is. we have to deal with it. i believe that as you said, what the president wants is but a fraction of what that bill in 2013 did on border security. if we can get somethingthdone satisfies it, i am confident the president is prepared to move forward on ah bu other parts of immigration reform that people didn't normally associate with him or h white house. we have to do that part first. >> you have said you are opposed the national emergency option. in three weeks, i know you have noei appetite oner side of the aisle for another shutdown. if that's the only way to keep the government funded, he goes national emergency, how defiant are you on this option? will youidight the prt on this or not? >> i don't think it's a good idea. i thek it will a terrible idea. i hope he doesn't do it. >> would you fight him on it? >> sure. use i think it's important -- i don't think we will have to fight. i'm no surehey will do that. it's an option they looked at. you are at the mercy of a district court and ultimately an appellate court. it may not withstand if you look at some of the other rulis venltrulings. it's not a good precedent to set. it doesn't mean i don't want border security. i do. i think that's the wrong way to achieve it. it doesn't provide certainty. you could wind up in a theatric victory at the front and not get it done. the best way to do it is to have a law that funds border security so we know it's going to happen. >> i want to turn to venezuela. you ou -- first of all, have been -- it's interesting.

reigniting the debate over late-term abortion. the uproar comes as the governor of rhode island gets behind a push for similar legislation and after new york's democratic governor andrew cuomo signed a bill dropping restrictions on abortion last week. greg, i want to play the sound from the virginia governor, ralph northam. there was controversy yesterday and i will get your response. >> where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, would it still be a point at which she can request an abortion if she was so certifie certified? she's dilating. >> my bill would allow that, yes. >> katie: that was not the governor. that was the woman who introduced the bill as a delegate in virginia. the governor responded yesterday on a radio show. he said when we talk about third trimester abortions, consent of the mother and physicians, went on to talk about keeping the baby comfortable while the parents, doctors decide whether to give up medical care or resuscitated after an abortion. what are your thoughts about this swing? >> greg: you are conflating two things. the governor clarified. let's talk about the bill. the thing is, couldn't you argue right now that this is an actual humanitarian crisis? we have been talking about humanitarian crises. people are shouting at republicans for splitting up families. is it worse than splitting up babies? the fact is, you actually need pro-lifers to make noise about this. no one else will. a total blackout of the movie gosnell tells you everything you need to know. i focus on the bill. i interpreted as crazy. if you don't speak up about stuff like this, are you going to push abortion to the terrible twos? what made this bill interesting and correct me if i'm wrong because we rarely read the bills. i tried. i saw something in there about, having to do with psychological reasons. if the birth is psychologically traumatic to the woman. i don't see it's a risk of life. you could extend it to the terrible twos. if you're talking about psychological trauma to the mother, you could just go into being a teenager, because it doesn't get any better. i think this bill has been tabled and i think people are realizing that it's absolute nuts to say it's not about a threat to the mother's life. it's a threat to her psyche. that's the thing that is scary. they reduce the number of doctors who could sign off on this to make it easier. that was also something. the good news is, because there's outcry, it causes people to look at this stuff and it makes you wonder what would happen if there was no pro-life movement. >> katie: i think it's important to say i'm not conflating the two issues, because he specifically said when we talk about third trimester abortions, and then went on to talk about it. he may have answered the question in terms of hospice care but he was talking about third trimester abortions i didn't answer the question, jesse, from the interviewer in the radio interview because he didn't condemn the bill or say he supported it. >> jesse: i don't like talking about abortion. it's private. it's personal. it's very painful. when i saw the sonogram of my twins, it had a huge personal impact on me. i know other people have that same feeling. everybody's different and everybody's journey is different and women are faced with a lot of tough decisions. there is a pretty strong consensus in this country that late-term or partial birth abortion is very, very wrong. split down the middle on abortion. actually i think we are more pro-life, but only 13% of americans support partial birth abortion. you can tell how horrible it is and grotesque by the way that people refuse to talk about it in detail. they talk about it in vague clinical terms, because when you actually talk about the procedure in graphic detail, you can't help but feel shame if you support it. that's why there's a media blackout on it and that's why you can tell even the woman supporting the bill didn't want to talk about it. but i believe, as greg said, the more you talk about it in detail, the more people know what it is and more people can say no. >> katie: juan, this bill was voted down but cosponsored by 20 democrats. one of the virginia delegates, john adams, apologized for cosponsoring it at it to her admitting she it. what about democrats and deciding they're going to introduce these bills across the country and it enables women up to labor to have late-term abortions. >> juan: i want to second when jesse said. it's a very difficult topic to talk about it. we go back and forth here on "the five" but it's a touchy subject for so many people. i don't take it lightly. i love kids and i love my grandkids. i think ralph ralph northam ise right track when he says it's a decision between women and their doctors, not politicians and the legislature. the current law right now says you can have an abortion in the third semester if if, in fact,u see their child has some medical issues that would complicate issues or a threat to the mother's life. again, you need to doctors plus the primary care physician to make this decision now. the new bill would reduce the number of doctors involved. what we are talking about here is a situation in the country where i think right now it's like, i think there's seven states where there is only one abortion clinic in the whole state, which is essentially forcing the politicians' attitudes on women. i don't think that's right. i just think it's right. jesse, the numbers that i see says 58% of americans, a majority, say yes

people to the polls. what president trump we did today. the democratic party is becoming a party of high taxes, open borders, abortion on demand, high crime. the question on this is if the democrats don't want to have a situation like this where they say their words are being misinterpreted, then first of all, read the bill before you cosponsor it. that's a good idea. also read them carefully. these words really matter. we are charged as human beings at the top of the food chain, we have brains and hearts and we have science and we have faith and all of that informs how we think about things and how we talk about things. a fetus is not viable, to their point, until it's born. then it's born and it has inalienable rights that our country bestows upon the innocent. i don't mind having the debate. it should be held respectfully of course. but i do think the reason democrats are finding themselves in this position today with all of the scrutinies because they were on careful. i they don't realize people are paying attention. you might not read the bill in virginia, but that means everyone else was still going to talk about it. this bill passed in new york. there is another one in rhode island. the bill was tabled in virginia, but the republicans narrowly have the majority in virginia. they had to fight for it. the bill was table 3-2. it could come back at any time. it

the pboc is talking about a more complicated economic picture. we have heard set -- heard from them saying economic pressures are increasing. we have a trinity coming out this morning, on the back of all of that we data, trying to trying tohe markets, reintroduce domestic audience in china. video is saying that monetary policy will remain prudent but flexible. they will try to ensure there is a reasonable amount of liquidity in the system. we have seen measures already to ensure there is late -- additional liquidity being pumped into the banks. whether that is targeted medium-term lending facility or reserve ratio cuts. saying, is gang -- is that between january and november of 2018, you saw a pickup by 17%. do you question is how balance the need for additional stimulus without exacerbating the financial risks. the pbs a -- pboc are saying the risks have been put under control. they are saying the private sector financing has improved. andnational development reform commission say they will be outlining measures to support the auto industry. we seen auto sales of falling for the last year for the first time in three decades. we are not sure what those measures will be. they are also saying they're going to step up measures to support household appliance purchases. again, concerns about real estate set here as well. that is in focus for policymakers. they were talking about tax cuts on a larger scale. we have seen tax cuts for personal income kick in. it is at a corporate level and they are saying they're going to tax small and medium-size enterprises as well. as well as the manufacturing sector that is under pressure as a result of tariffs. they see few that changes that they are seeing in china, they could be equivalent to about 300 billion u.s. dollars worth of cuts. that could be a major force to keep the economy here on track. jpmorgan is expecting that the target for gdp growth in 2019 will be between 6%-six .5%. as we haveicymakers, reported, are looking to raise the deficit target from 2.6% last year to 2.8% this year. it has a band concert -- confirmed yet. you wonder why they all came out and decided to speak about all of this right now. this is before the money supply of and comes out. a soft number? -- are we expect a soft number? tom: we have expected a softer number that we got in november. there are some to just in from some come out looking at the comments released, that maybe it will come in slightly above expectations. moment, we have expected around 1.3 trillion yuan for december in terms of total aggregate financing. that is down from november. we had a number of about 1.5 trillion. if there is an increase in total aggregate financing, it will show that there are signs that point to another signal that the economy is starting to stabilize. no signs of that yet. in terms of yuan loans, we are expected most to fall about 400 billion yuan. speaking to bank analysts saying has the key challenge, and been a piecemeal state -- stimulus measures, but they haven't passed on by the banks. some banking analysts expecting more bankruptcy. seen,the comments we've the total aggregate financing numbers may come in slightly higher than some of the economists have accepted. -- expected. we expect in those numbers and -- at some point this afternoon. we will be paying attention to that for any other lines of the central bank around what they are doing to support the economy, given the weakness. yvonne: we await with bated breath. tom mackenzie in beijing. take you for that. bondurri,g in mxaxx to talk all things china. you say, forget about the slowdown. there's a lot of value in chinese assets. if there's one thing we have it's don't play games with the central banks. the central banks are seen as providing additional's mls. -- additional stimulus. that will bring some positives in equity and capital as well. >> speaking of stimulus, we have seen the pboc cuts, rrr, talking about tax cuts on a wider basis. a cut in interest rate coming? what indication would that be if that should happen? massimiliano: for china, the narrative is important. so far, what they have said, is yes, there is a slowdown in growth. we realize that and we are here to help the market. they don't even want to be seen as doing too much too soon. something they been criticized for the past. so far, they are measuring what they are doing. in the future, all options are open. interest rates could be cut. in the short-term, we think they will first see however thing plays out before resorting to cutting rates. >> you talk about how there is value to be had. are we talking about financial stocks, bank stocks, what would you be looking at? massimiliano: we prefer equity rather than fixed income. you will see more stress on the fixed income things, that could put pressure on credit spreads. let's focus on equities. anything that has been battered over the last year, and which has a good growth potential, especially if local economy growth, that is going to be a positive. construction, bank stocks and financial stocks, which have a lot to do with the domestic economy, obviously the whole internet names and bank names, they look attractive. if sentiment moves up, some of these names higher, they will be carried out. >> despite all this talk about a china slowdown, you have seen a surge in the chinese yuan, is that a weak dollar story? massimiliano: it is a little bit of both. we seen dollar weakness so far. that is likely to remain as long as risk sentiment remains positive. it has been a little bit of china wanting to show an appreciation of the renminbi, especially given what has been happening between the u.s. and china at the moment. i think the valuation of the renminbi now will not be productive for the conversation that is happening between the u.s. and china. a little bit of both. can't help but wonder, are we getting to ahead of thislves on how effective policy stimulus will be from china? we've talked about how they are going to stay prudent. they're not going to do full-blooded stimulus. given that the fiscal measures are a little bit less effective here, when capital still remains quite constrained in china at the moment, so when do you expect that kind of stimulus to trickle through into markets? massimiliano: you are going to get some positive news and positive market movements right away. we are seeing it today. that will phase out little by little. really the pboc has imagined is that they will keep monitoring what is happening and how the economy develops from here. they will intervene more. -- howorrect in saying big will this be, right now, it is a lot of headlines. there will be an effect on the market and the economy. it will not be just a surge -- huge magnitude as it is now. they are here monitoring the situation. we talk about valuation. valuations have been cheap for 12 months. if i bought anything that was cheap on the basis of it to being cheap, i am either dead or in jail or in the hospital. the reason i bring that up is because everyone i talked to so far says, you look at these earning estimates in china, those are still too high for 2019. in other words, valuations are likely to get cheaper. your thoughts? anything that is too can get cheaper. we have seen the last year like you said. a lot has to do with sentiment. especially,ast year in the last quarter, what we have seen is stores selling anything risky that they had because they were extremely worried about growth and chinese growth in general. change insee a sentiment, which you might start getting because of the headlines we have seen, if you get in people's minds the fact that the pboc is here if things really go down a road which is a metaphor for china, then if that sentiment moves, you will automatically get all of these stocks that were down last year to have the potential for a rally there. it will be quite high. david: let's hope you are right. massimiliano bondurri there. he will be staying with us on the show. prime minister theresa may, the brexit deal, the vote, facing all uncertainty. yvonne: to what extent will see fail is the question the market is asking. inflation falls below the central bank's target, will it pronounce a u-turn and monetary policy. we break up the numbers later on in the hour. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ yvonne: we are closing down on the vote in the u k. they are saying they're working on the assumption that brexit will be delayed beyond the end of march. is that the worst-case scenario. -- scenario? we're looking at currencies. we saw the sterling overnight. there was some upside here saying that these brexiteers were going to be supporting theresa may. that has faded. we are holding around 1.294 sterling. the euro around 1.14. david: try to make sense of all that, david xfinity is with us. david, what should we be talking about? there's lots of potential outcomes. i think the market is try to focus on which one it is. how much does it lose? i think we will lose it by 16 or less. it is may be close enough to be passed those couple of amendments. it may get across the finish line. if it is a big landslide loss, against or 150 votes it, the question is how do you move forward? suddenly the market thinks the case of a no deal brexit will not happen. or at least minimizing the possibility of that. they might extended or help that. going forward, the question becomes, what is plan b solved irish problem? without that, you still have some uncertainty. you may see sterling being pressured or slowly go up over the next coming weeks. we did hear that theresa may was talking to angela merkel a little bit overnight. it seems that the eu was at least willing to offer some can -- concessions. are we at that point? david: i think it depends on how close the vote is. if it is a landslide against it, then i think the indication is that no matter what the eu offers, it won't be enough. concessions, particularly on the irish border, there is no guarantee that they would be satisfactory for the u.k. parliament to pass. i think we have a lot of uncertainty moving forward still. david finnerty here in the lion city. massimiliano bondurri is still with us and he says they are avoiding exposure to u.k. and sterling. not for the faint of heart. you are keeping away. is that part of your strategy?

do you navigate from point a to point b, we want to make it to point b without causing disruption to your cities' economy and the electric bills frankly of people who live in your city. that's the next big step for the conference. i think it's timely because, we do have a shot of getting the energy block grants back. if we have that extra funding, people are going to say, what are you going to spend it on and why and we should have definitive answers. it's important to have something like that, especially the smaller cities that don't have in-house energy either consultants or staff that can provide that expertise. there's a big role for us on all of us. >> there is a network of directors who do this work in the bigger cities that i would encourage all mayors to tap into. the directors of sustainability and that's an active group. but you're right. we have financial hurdles. we have policy hurdles. we have technology hurdles. as we have very specific dialogue with companies and different levels of government, you will see actionable items coming to the forefront. would like to turn some time mr. miller. >> i thought it might be helpful in the call

b team. a lot of the b team left. now he has the c team. if we face a crisis with a president who no one believes, who is sur vourounded by a c te and a dysfunctional white house, god save us. >> you have members of the cabinet who are acting secretaries. they are filling jobs because others have left. including some very sensitive positions. >> we have key ambassadorships. i know they have appointed an ambassador to saudi arabia. we have gone with flo no ambass. >> why is that? >> trump believes that he can do everything. he or kushner, can handle saudi arabia. i don't think he has a respect for government. when he gets in trouble, he impugns them as the deep state. he doesn't appreciate that the institutions are what make us unique as a country. he didn't respect them when he was a businessman. he tried to evade them. he doesn't respect them as a leader. >> has he met his match in nancy pelosi? i think he met a match in nancy pelosi. she's a serious person. i think the deeper problem, wolf, is that he told one too many lies. i don't know whether it was lie number 6,000 or 7,000. "the washington post" has been keeping a tab. i felt we're in a moment now where people simply don't believe a word out of his mouth. when he can stand up and say, i never said mexico would pay for the wall, i mean, we're through the looking glass. we have a core problem. we have a president without shame who is backed by a party without spine that is supported by a network called fox news without integrity. a president without shame backed by a party without spine and a network that amplified it without integrity and we face a crisis, fasten your seat belt. >> let me read a column you recently wrote in "the new york times." i believe that the only responsible choice for the republican party today is an intervention with the president that makes clear that if there's not a radical change in how he conducts himself, i think that's unlikely, the party's leadership will have no choice but to press for his resignation or join calls for his impeachment. you see any sign at all that serious numbers of republicans are beginning to think along those lines? >> i don't. it's really sad. this is a party that laid down for a demented man. they have been laying down for anyone who would energize their base, going back to sara palin and the tea party and now it's trump. we are really -- we're really risking our luck here. how long this can go on. we have a disturbed man as president. that's very clear. we have a party that is not ready to stand up to it. what worries me is now we're threatening our institutions. look what he did describing the judges in our judicial system as they are obama judges. thank god john roberts said, they aren't obama judges and bush judges. they're just judges. look what he has been doing with the military. saying the people who are out of work now, government workers, they are postally just democrats. these are our institutions, what makes us unique as a country, is that we have a judiciary, we have a non-partisan military, we have a true state, not some nefarious deep state. the world envies those institutions. why do you think those people are lining up to get into our country? they want to be in a place that has those kind of institutions. that's precisely what this president is attacking. that's a threat. the biggest crisis we have right now is in the oval office. we have a president who does not appreciate the institutions that make our country unique. >> is the republican leadership, from your perspective, afraid of the president? >> these are people who seem to be so obsessed with their $175,000 a year job and free parking at national airport, that they will not stand up and actually speak out not against for democrats or some -- but on behalf of institutions. when the president embarrasses someone like defense secretary mattis the way he did, when he lies day after day and you as a party say nothing, what do you think is the core row rece impa? >> when did you think of the president withdrawing troops from syria, the way he handled it and the resignation that resulted in the defense secretary, james matmattis? >> there's a case for withdrawing from syria and afghanistan. what would i have done? i would have -- the art of the deal. i would have come to the russians and syrians and iranians. maybe you want us out. here is the conditions we need. i wouldn't have pulled out. i wouldn't have just moved the embassy to jerusalem and not asked for something in return from nen an tanyahu or the palestinians. this is the problem. he doesn't understand the subtle 'tis subtleness of the policies. he gives stuff away. that's what's scary. he gave a complete pass. the choice was not give him a pass or break relations with saudi arabia. you could have made demands on him. he keeps giving stuff away. he doesn't understand things. >> do you see any prospect it's going to change? >> i see no prospect of it whatsoever. i think it's only going to get worse. next two years are going to be one of the most destabilizing and unnerving times in our history. for you and me, in our journalism careers. >> how do you think he will respond on february 7 when michael cohen, his former lawyer and fixer, goes before the house oversight committee and testifies, presumably for hours, and makes very, very serious allegations, potential allegations that the president of the united states was engaged together with him in crime? >> it's so hard to tell. he is so adept, wolf, at bald face lying that escapable of saying anything. i can't see him having some moral crisis over it. he will just tell another lie. >> when the world -- you travel all over the world. you are a foreign affairs columnist. when the world is watching what's going on in the united states right now, friends of the united states, allies of the united states in europe and elsewhere, what are they thinking? >> what they are thinking is that america is the world. we are the tent pole that holds up the world. we are the people who invest in things, even when we don't get an immediate payoff to promote global stability that ultimately is to our great benefit. they have never -- most of them have never seen an america like this. the president who doesn't appreciate allies. a president who does not manifest the values that america -- that it makes america so attractive for them. a president who simply his word is not even remotely his bond. they are all basically -- they are adrift. it's not like china will lead the world. it's not like russia will lead the world. what happens when we don't lead is that nobody leads. >> do you have any confidence there any of the president's top stop, his senior advisors, members of the cabinet, mike pompeo, for example? >> no. none whatsoever. p pompeo is in a race for the worst. >> you think pompeo is worse than rex tillerson? >> i read his speech from the middle east. the one he deliver -- if you think your job as secretary of state is to go to the arab world, dump on the previous president while you are there and proclaim you figured it all out because you figured out that the really right u.s. policy is to support every arab tyrant who has in jail thousands if not islamic radicals but young democracy advocating people, particularly in a country like egypt, if you think that's the most brilliant policy and that we're not going to pay for that down the road, then you are a complete idiot. >> i was surprised that he went after president obama. i could see him doing it here in the united states. politics are supposed to stop at the water's edge. >> to praise sisi -- we figured out that iran is the bad guy. these arab tyrants are the good guys. we will support them all along. all these arab youth who looked to america to be the voice and beacon of democracy and freedom, what do you think they're thinking? how do you think that's going to work out for all of them in jail when they get out of jail? >> with his base, those who really love the president, president trump, he is still very, very popular with that hard core republican conservative base. >> i can't explain all of it. i felt his base actually hates the people who hate trump more than they care about trump or his specific policies. i think there's a lot of resentment out there at elite and different people. in fairness, i think there's people who are living in this moment of acceleration and they find this moment very disorienting. a president who comes along and says, i can stop the winds of change, the wall is a metaphor for a lot of things, not just the border and immigration. i can stop the winds of change. i can see how that appeals to some people. they are very disoriented. the fact is, he is selling them snake oil. >> where is this all heading? within the next few weeks or a couple of months or so, robert mueller is going to come out with his report. you hear the president say almost on a daily basis, no collusion, no collusion, no collusion. where is this heading? >> it's heading for a constitutional crisis. a constitutional crisis in which people like john roberts -- s t >> the supreme court. >> the chief justice. people like expreside-press owe and bush working together as one team. they will play a role to speak up in a non-partisan way to present a non-partisan front, i think to defend and protect the constitution. >> you say a constitutional crisis. explain. >> i think we will probably as a result of mueller have charges against the president that are certainly going to stimulate some people to want to bring about an impeachment. god knows what kind of things mueller -- i've been watching your show this afternoon. the kind of collusion that might be involved. the kind of illegality that trump may have been involved in. who knows when we get list tax returns. this is a gigantic mess. it's going to affect the authority of the president. i think that in this moment, we are going so badly need non-partisan people who stand up for american institutions and values. that's i'm glad obama and george bush stayed out of it. i have respect for john roberts. he spoke up to defend the non-partisanship of the courts. i think these people who have been acting in this -- trying to act in a non-partisan way, they will become so important as we enter this crisis. >> you think we will actually hear from them? >> i think we will hear from them. we are going to so badly need people who are ready to stand up for what makes us unique as a country. the values and the institutions. that's what's going to be required. i think they are going to be threatened. this is a man who will burn down anything and everything to save himself. we have seen that. >> thank you for being here. thanks for showing up. you look good. thanks very much for coming in. you have come a long way since we were white house correspond enters. thanks very much for coming in. >>> we will have more on all of the breaking news, including michael cohen's upcoming testimony before congress. the secrets about president trump that he might expose on national television.

>> i will and the wall just got ten feet taller. believe me. it got ten feet taller. >> what do you think? >> i remember watching that and thinking, well, he didn't totally answer wolf's question. never in my mind did i think that we would be having two years on a debate that donald trump says he never said mexico would be paying for the wall, because he said it so many times. that ten feet higher line was one of his favorites. got a rise out of the crowd there. look, this is someone we know who tends to try to rewrite both long -- past history and recent history. he is doing a little bit of both here. i'm fascinated that donald trump says that it's too soon to declare -- it's not the best option to declare a state of emergency. where we are today in this legislatively in trying to solve this shutdown is nowhere. we're nowhere better than we were the day the government shut down. you would think sometime in those interesting 20 plus days, if there was a better idea, it would have ee americmeremerged. i thought everything was pointing toward him declaring a state of emergency. him saying no now puts us back at square one. >> he doesn't want to take the easy way out and declare a national emergency. >> you are seeing him back away from that. there are a couple of reasons. one he said today in that he knows it would be challenged in the courts. also, some of his conservative allies have been telling him on the airwaves and personally that they don't want him do it because they think it will set a bad precedent for when democrats take over, then they will do the same on democratic agenda items. now they're just sort of back to square one as you said. no clear path away. sources are telling me and my colleague that the white house is actively looking at other places to get money, like the civil forfeiture fund. we talked about disaster relief funding. looking at whether they can take funding there. the president has backed himself into a corner here where there are no good options at this point. frankly, he does own the shutdown. he is on record saying it. he may not want to. he may want to put it on the dpdp democrats. >> where do you see this heading? >> democrats have said they're not giving the president any money for the wall. both sides have stayed in their corners. there's no one meeting in the middle. as you alluded, pam, democrats have all the leverage. this is president trump's shutdown. they believe they have the upper hand politically and no incentive to compromise. for as long as democrats believe they don't have reason to compromise and the president believes he is winning this politically as well, we will have this stalemate. >> don't underestimate the fact that the longer it goes, the harder it becomes. i compare it to waiting in line at disney world. if you wait five minutes for a two hour line, your willingness to cut bait is not too high. okay. we can leave. you haven't invested that much in the line. right? you wait an hour and 45 minutes in that line, you are definitely waiting, even if it's a three-hour line, because you are in line that long. this is 21 days. it's going to be 24, 25, by the time there's the conversation legislatively. 30 days, 35 days, 40 days, both sides get more and more entrenched. the stakes get higher. >> i talked to white house officials behind the scenes. there's a lot of concern, especially today. shutdown is poised to be the longest in history. this is the day workers are not getting paychecks. sours i sources say we believe we're losing this politically. >> 800,000 federal workers won't get a paycheck. they will suffer. their families will suffer the enormous problem. let's talk about the president, if he decides to declare a national emergency. he said it would go to the ninth sick circuit. eventually, it would wind up in the u.s. supreme court. where is this heading? >> put it this way. first, let's talk about the hypocrisy and let's address the issue of the law. there has to be one standard. that standard has to apply to everything. you can't attack obama if you are lindsey graham and you are mitch mcconnell talking about reaction and unilateral action, presidential overreach. then when it comes to your party, it's acceptable. that's what makes people roll their eyes about politics. on the issue of the law, i'm one that believes that a national emergency should be a national emergency. i don't question the president's authority to do it. i question the rational upon which it would be based. that's what the court challenge would be based on. you don't declare national emergencies because you don't get your way, because you don't get your wall. you want to raid funds from other sources so that you can say that you are the big person in the room, you have the executive authority. there has to be rational basis attached to it. there will be a challenge. that challenge, as i mentioned, won't be predicated upon executive authority. it will be predicated upon whether there was a rational and reasonable basis for him to take that action. if it's such an emergency, why hasn't it been taken as of yet. it does set a dangerous precedent. i do see it going to the supreme court. i do believe that the supreme court will analyze it not consistent with whether they are republican or democrat, to quote judge roberts, but consistent whether it's lawful and appropriate. >> quickly, because you are getting new information, pamela. michael cohen the testimony he will be delivers next month. >> that's right. this is going to be getting everyone's attention when he testifies. the president's longtime fixer, lawyer, going to be testifying to the oversight committee. those expecting him to reveal details on russia will be disappointed. we are told by sources that while he will stay away from talking about russia, michael cohen is expected to talk about the president and his role in making those hush money payments and how the election factored into that. also, the trump organization and the trump kids. we are told through sources that he is willing to talk about those things. this is michael conehen's opportunities to go up against the president. >> the president will not be lap pi duri happy during those hours of testimony. we will have more on the breaking news right after this. only fidelity offers four zero expense ratio index funds directly to investors. and now we have zero account fees for brokerage accounts. at fidelity, those zeros really add up. ♪ so maybe i'll win, saved by zero ♪ at fidelity, those zeros really add up. if your moderate to severeor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio®, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio® works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract, and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio® may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. tell your doctor if you have an infection experience frequent infections or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio®. if your uc or crohn's treatment isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio®. entyvio®. relief and remission within reach. to most, he's phil..pro golfer. to me, he's... ...well, dad. so when his joint pain from psoriatic arthritis got really bad, it scared me. and what could that pain mean?
