i'm betsy. betsy, nice to meet you. good to see you. first of all, i want to say thank you.ng kid. she's really been a joy to raise. and watch. and i really appreciate it. i don't know if you consider it generosity, but i think it's the biggest gift you could have ever given anyone, so i really appreciate that. and what a great human you are. and thanks. thanks for picking me. thanks for giving me life. i thought that if i was in a young person's shoes that i would want to have the right to know my biological father. my life is really full of taking care of my kids. so i don't really think about all the donor offspring a whole lot. i'm busy. what i do think about, i think it's good. i helped give life. i mean, i guess i'm curious how you think about these kids. i honestly don't have a strong connection to them, socially. but even then, family is such a broad term. people — you always have to qualify it. there's a nuclear family, your extended family, your work family. it's a very big term. but that said, you know, i feel like they're part of my sort of broader genetic family

addressing the education secretary betsy devos. in boston, the founder of insys therapeutics has been sentenced to 5.5 years in prison in a landmark case for the opioid crisis. john kapoor and four other executives were convicted last may of a criminal conspiracy to bribe doctors to prescribe a highly addictive fentanyl spray to patients who didn't need it. one of the defendants allegedly gave a lap dance to a doctor at a company event in order to persuade him to prescribe the drug. legal experts say the sentencing should be a a warning to other drug company executives who have engaged in deceptive marketing practices and other schemes to push opioids. in new york city, a fire has destroyed tens of thousands of art pieces and historical materials belonging to the museum of chchinese in america. e fire erurupted thursday night on the eve of lunar nenew year d tore through the arcrchives of e iconic chinatown mususeum, which contained one-of-a-kind documents dating back too the 1800s chronicling the history of chinese migration to th

up next, texas senator ted cruz, education secretary betsy devos discussed the future of education and workforce development. >> we got about 20 minutes here to help a great conversation going about where we are. i indicated this morning some of the earlier comments that you are not able to get on but were at an important entry point for the united states which is the most successful economic democracy yet to have evolved on the planet is sitting with huge opportunity where the competition of the world is now risen beyond our -- heart is beating harder to do better and compete harder and we are at an educational moment where now we realize 330 million people we've got this opportunity through the diversity of our population to become something that no one else has ever become before which is this highly educated, highly adaptive, highly creative population coming in from everywhere around the world and now can do things that are off the charts. we have an opportunity to facilitate the birthing of a new economic trajectory but just at the same time as that has happened we run the full c

betsy: why do we like pnc?ts in the regulation around liquidity and capital requirements. we are above the street on the pnc for 2020 because we have the cash reduction. on the other hand, they do not have to hold as much capital. we put the buyback through our numbers. that is a little bit ahead of what management is saying but that is where we think it is going. that is why we have pnc. as we talk about american mostss, it is one of the weighted stocks i cover. we think they will be able to generate positive operating leverage in 2020. the street is not there. that is the core of that debate. for the quarter, we think the consumer spend being strong will come through. operatingis again leverage expectation story. we think there are levers they can pull, in particular in some of the latin american expenses to generate positive operating leverage. the president of citigroup is on board already. she ran a latin american business, so there would be opportunities to deliver positive operating leverage to the compa

. >> betsy, speak for all millennials here. i'm just kidding. >> we all share opinions on everything. >> there's the capitol hill correspondent's per suspespecti. what do you make of this? >> i think if there's one thing that millennials actually often do come together on it's cynicism with institutions and this is perhaps the clearest embodiment of an institution displaying itself in a very visual and almost thee attical way and they see as really meaningful and tonight and significant. i think in this particular moment, there is certainly a strain, especially among younger voters of saying we know what's going to happen. this is basically preordained and i think that that instinct is going to cover -- color between generations the way people view what happens in the next hour. >> you are seeing -- these are the first things. you know? she's seeing cynicism and thinking monica lue went ski. >> it never got to this particular point with nixon, of course. i was thinking knowing the hill, you guys all know it, it's the same piece

betsy, so this is what he would want. he would want the show to sort of clear his name and to do some political battering if he had the opportunity. >> that is right. and the possibility that this would turn into a difficult to follow and almost circus-like atmosphere to use a term that democrats in the house used talking about their own hearings prospects. the possibility that though could happen is not necessarily low and another way where this prospect of the trial and the way that witnesses might impact the impeachment process is not necessarily a lock as a total win for democrats. >> an jake, as you talk to mitch mcconnell and others, who do they say the likelihood that we'll see a parade of witnesses. at the end of the day do you think this is a couple of names that will be focused on. nobody expected hunter biden will show up on capitol hill. >> nobody anticipates that he'll get 51 votes at this moment. we don't know what this process is going to look like. and remember, they could force -- democrats could force an

betsy, quickly on elizabeth warren's interview. decided to go right there with iran and impeachment. that she saw them connected. >> the wag the dog allegations are not a surprise but it's still significant for her to suggest that the president engaged in this strike for sort of underhanded political motives. one thing that warren's rivals notice flagged this to me was that she basically put out two different statements on the death of soleimani. first she said soleimani, terrible person. then the next day followed up with a tweet calling it an assassination, a term that in this case has significant legal weight. her rival campaigns are pointing to that and saying it's an example of her struggling to try to keep both ends of the democratic party happy. >> i want to put up an example here. bernie is going on the attack a little bit. he went on the attack on biden and on foreign policy. he said it's a lot of baggage that joe takes into a campaign. theç baggage he's referring tos the iraq war vote, kasie hunt, and he yesterday went a

betsy, the president doing -- that's not a surprise.es seem as if the real divide is are you an ends justify the means kind of person or do you believe we should have a process in our foreign policy? it is interesting. the public seems to be as divided on that as washington. >> it's something where congress for multiple administrations now has gleefully added authority and consistently refused to assert itself. we are in this moment with trump where democrats and a handful of republicans are likely to do this symbolic vote to assert themselves. in the historical con effect, they have by and large basically given the executive branch carte blanche to do what they want when it comes to acts of war. >> what's interesting is the ends justify the means argument is a lot easier to sell. trump's argument is easier to sell to the people. long-term we have known these targeted assassinations, whatever you wanted to call them, create more problems down the road and eventually this might not be a good thing. but right now you don't know. that's th

what's your reaction, betsy? >> they have had relationships particularly with murkowski and collins. they are making noise about parting ways with trump. although on some important votes, most notably collins voting to confirm. justice brett kavanaugh in many cases they ended upcoming back into the trump administration fold. but they also create -- they'll make comments and create narratives that there is suspense about whether or not they're going to behave like trump loyalists, and this reporting indicates that that tension and that sort of x factor is potentially still there. one person not to overlook, as this reporting has indicated, is corey gardener who is going to have one of the hardest reelection days as far as republican senators in 2020. he's from increasingly progressive colorado. of course, he's sort of classic republican. he's tried to differentiate himself from other members of the republican party by pushing for more sort of generous federal laws regarding marijuana. but at the end of the day, he

while nancy was trying to pass herself off as a second betsy ross, trump was signed in phase one of a trade pact with china that will directly benefit you, the american workers, and our industry. this is a deal no one thought was going to happen, but a tackles intellect or property theft, enforcement triggers, and keeps tariffs in place to keep the chinese honest. >> we are going to work together for the benefit our countries, but also very importantly, for the benefit of the world. so this is a very big day for the united states. >> laura: sorry, mr. president, but pelosi was not going to be bested by some historic trade deal. no, she had her own signing ceremony of the articles of impeachment. platters of hors d'oeuvres that were, i guess, brought out to commemorate the occasion. which she clumsily used to create her signature. >> it's a funny signature. but they do give a lot of pens. >> laura: so solemn. all of the coconspirators were given a booby prize. maxine waters look like she was waiting for the rolling stones to show up. is not a magic wand, auntie maxine. i can't get thro
