. >> good morning, carl.o the latest from the investigation is that there have been more raids and no further arrests of the 12 that took place that -- yesterday afternoon. the three are described as having a domestic center of gravity as opposed to being foreigners and one of them had been flagged to security services in years past. now this is the third attack in 73 days here in the uk. that has elicited a much firmer response from politicians. theresa may said enough is enough. and saying that if re-elected she could consider increasing anti-terror powers. on that note she described the internet quote as a space where extremists breeds and she is increasing regulations on the cyberspace moving forward. certainly something to watch if she gets re-elected. security is dominating the campaign trail today in a way that it didn't so much two weeks ago after the manchester attacks. theresa may is hitting her main opponent jeremy corbyn for opposing increased powers while he is hitting prime minister may for cutt

carl, have a great weekend. >> same to you, sue.>>> we are awaiting comments from the president, talking infrastructure investment. he was scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m. john harwood is watching that. as the president has already tweeted about the comey testimony and now the choice act. >> that's right, carl. it's a big forlorn this event at d.o.t. it started out to be infrastructure week from the white house, but that's been blown out of the water by the comey testimony and other developments this week. very different to get attention and it's notable that the president has not laid out an infrastructure plan yet. he has indicated that he's going to propose something that uses a relatively modest amount of federal money as a lever to get private sector money, to get state and local money, but this is something that is going to be very difficult to pass through congress if he can do so in the end, and it's completelien overshadowed, of course, by the effort of the white house to defend itself from what james comey said with very d

carl, what do you make of this reporting by "the washington post"? >> it's of a piece. that piece is that the president of the united states has made multiple attempts to try and conceal what has happened. and to make an investigation go away by going to the principal conductors of those investiga investigations, comey, coats. what we are going to hear before the committee is the testimony of one of those people and a narrative of how that occurred from the point of view of mr. comey. we're going to also see, i suspect, a huge effort to impeach that word, mr. comey's credibility by the republicans on the committee. marco rubio has an opportunity here to maybe be the howard baker, similar to the watergate investigation and say what did the president know and when did he know it. but president trump has said, i wish mr. comey luck. it's a strange thing to say. about this upcoming testimony. we can see a real fuselage of efforts to go after comey and his credibility by the republicans. >> the president may say more if he is live tweeting as there's reports he may do. >> ye

come on, carl, let's go. let's rumble. >> carl, your response?my response is that we have an incumbent president of the united states who is under investigation as part of -- we need to find out what happened with the russians and the campaign and whether or not there is collusion is part of that question. if any crimes occurred in the clinton administration, there is a justice department that is in place and has every ability to inquire, prosecute those crimes. >> let's investigate. >> matt, i want to bring -- >> i believe there's an assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division. thus far, i have seen no inclination of that assistant attorney general to prosecute those crimes, if they exist. >> hang on. i want to bring matt into this. >> this is a really silly discussion. >> that's why i want to bring -- hang on. i want to bring matt into this. jeffrey over the course of the show has questioned whether bob mueller had run an oefficient investigation. you cover the white house right now. are you getting the sense from people close

carl, first to you. do you feel the president is trying to perpetuate fear of terrorism by tweeting the way he has today? >> i think this is probably a moment when republicans wish for ronald reagan in the white house whose first concern would have been to express the horror and sympathies and prayers to the victims and their families rather than go on a political rant first and think of the victims later. >> he did reach out to them last night -- >> later. later. his first instinct was to talk about, we need to get smart and tough and vigilant -- >> you're right, that was the very first tweet. >> we have been tough and strong and vigilant as the people in the department of homeland security would tell you. most of the professionals are against his travel ban who work there. i'm a reporter, i talk to them. they don't think this travel ban against muslims, which is originally it was conceived as a good idea or necessary, and as for political krebtness, i think, in fact, the president and others are right

carl, thanks so much for being with us. as james comey is six days away now from testifying, a very big moment, what will you be looking for next week at this time? >> to find out what the narrative is that the fbi was doing under his leadership and whether or not the president directed him to curtail the fbi investigation, how that was worded. but i think something much bigger is happening right now, and that is that we need to understand what is being covered up by the president of the united states and those around him. the fbi knows there's a cover-up going on, but we don't know what the cover-up is about. is it about financial matters with the trump organization? is it about actual collusion with russians? we're going to find that out as these investigations move on. and what we're seeing, particularly from the white house, is the president of the united states playing to his base, sending out kellyanne conway this morning. she's a serial fabulist. sending her out to go to the base, because that is what he is betting,

carl was deeply interested in trains and railways. to 39 he skipped school visit his local train station job ate landed his first the young age of 12 working as an assistant porter responsible for loading and unloading train passengers. after graduating from job at the young age of 12 working as an wabash college in indiana, he started a career in railroad industry, designing construction, working as an administrator for 40 years. his career was extremely important to the economic development of the city of wakecross, georgia, by waive his involvement in the design of rice yard, one of the busiest c.s.x. rail crossroads in the nation. it serves as a daily transfer point for nearly 3,000 railcars and remains one of the city's biggest employers, staffed by nearly 1,300 people. mr. carl retired from c.s.x. railroad in 2016. last year former c.s.x. president, who mr. carl hired and trained in 1970, proclaimed very november 16, a.a.

they say the issue is not money, it's accountability, carl. really trying to streamline these programs and get companies onboard. >> yeah. >> look, we do part of the issue with the economy and the united states is our corporations are incredibly profitable relative to all history we're not investing. and the reason we're not investing is companies don't see the immediate return in part because so little money in the economy is going out in the form of wages the 90% of the country that actually spends the money. so anything you can do to encourage companies to invest in the future and training is one of those would be great. it's just, again, the devil's in the details in terms of how they do it. >> with the long-term chart of labor share of gdp versus capital will prove that. this is something germany does extraordinarily well remains to be seen how much we're willing to take lessons from trade partners where there are other political divisions between us. >> there are a lot of other things other countries do extraordinarily well that for what

good morning, carl, sarah, david who's an old friend. yes, for a variety of reasons.ks from speaker ryan, vice president pence, secretary mnuchin on this. what you've seen combined with the georgia results is a series of small events that combine to show that there's some real resolve here and some desire to finish it up our view is tax reform is 60 to 65%. it's the first or second quarter of '18 today i think the sweet spot is the first quarter of '18 it is entirely possible as former senator mcintosh knows to get this going sooner. >> how do you game out the exact probabilities of health care when so far the senate's version has been very secret senate leader mitch mcconnell has held it close to his vest. yes, we're supposed to get something, hopefully as soon as tomorrow, but how do you game out the probability without knowing whether all the factions within the republican party can get on it? >> i game out the probability because majority leader mcconnell has been telling his fellow senators that failure is not an option here and the majority leader has no ability

at the same time, they are setting up for the battle of carl c. this turns it on its head because the japanese fleet is on its way home from the indian ocean operation. for modern taiwan. at the same time, two of the were detaching and heading for the c -- sea. it puts full priority on the possible threat to japan for future attacks. raid,after the doolittle one of the bombs of the doolittle raiders hits one of the japanese carriers which was being converted. the reason i mention that is because it was a matter of pride to the japanese that one of their new every as being built is actually also hit right there at home in the yokozuna navy yard. it wasn't a trivial thing, it focused on the fact that there needs to get rid of the carriers to cost us. it was the main this and that have been left after pearl harbor. the result is because of the doolittle rate, yamamoto gets his way. he will be able to go straight to the central pacific instead of focusing for the attention on trying to go back to crawl -- carl sea. it becomes a failure for the japanes

it was one understand didn't and carl and bob's reporting was magnificent. a worse break in of daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist's file. they were using government instruments to harass private citizens. it was a very scary large set of events. nixon was more worried by the elsberg psychiatrist office, that name being found out than the watergate break in found out. all the president's men simplifies what the condition was, which was much broader than just the watergate break in. >> this was an assault on liberties on a broad scale. people were being wiretapped, there's an enemies list. the white house has an enemies list. they were forcing irs audits on people. just ordering audits from the white house. >> it was a much broader assault. i think you have to put all of this in context to what we have now. in terms of the presidential election, i think what you do have trump is much more dangerous and much scarier because we're dealing with a foreign power, russia eventually being involved in our presidential election. >> we're going to have to leave it there for

we peaked on our heat wave, and that means carl the fog is taking over the bay area. >> and carl is taking over the bridges too. believe it or not, yes, that is the golden gate bridge on the left. the bay bridge on the middle and the san mateo bridge on the right. you want to take it easy. we have a dense fog advisory in effect for golden gate. the other ones we don't have an official dense fog adviery, but i drove in on the bay area, and pretty dense. >> i used the windshield wipers i think twice. especially coming out of the caldecott, it was really thick. >> good to know. >> if i could hug the fog, i would hug it. >> luckily, we can hug you, mike. >> group hug. >> tv hug. >> the reason we do that is because hr is also watching. >> who knows how far the wires will let us go,

carl in berkeley springs, west virginia. carl, good morning. >> caller: good morning. i want to talk about the travel ban. if you read the law, as written, congress delegated the authority to the president of the united states on this travel ban. he has the authority to do it. but these liberal judges like to legislate from the bench. they like to think that they are the ones that write the laws of this land. it's not true. and, you know, i was once a democrat in washington, d.c. we had to be a democrat to work for the union. but the minute i put it on, i automatically became a racist, a homophobe. it's unreal. i don't understand how this stuff -- but on this travel ban, the president does have the authority, and i don't understand how a judge can overturn that, because the congress wrote the law and delegated that to the president of the united states. >> got your point, carl. the president, in one of his four tweets this morning, calling the courts slow and political. are they going to be making some of the arguments that carl brings up? >> yeah, i think that's what

would be a remarkable thing if the president answered questions under oath, carl. >> first of all, once he got in there, if it was open ended, it could be devastating and probably would be. because it would be a license for a prosecutor to go in to all of trump's history in terms of his finances, russians, russian money, all kinds of pandora's box that trump has spent years trying to keep people from opening. it's unthinkable to me that he would permit that. but there is a problem i think that he has, and i'll leave to it the lawyers to discuss. and that is activities that took place before he was president of the united states. because a lot of what we're talking about here occurred before he was president of the united states, including the possibility of criminal activity then. i'm not suggesting he engaged in criminal activity. but it certainly is something that prosecutors would want to look at. so there is a real pandora's box to repeat that phrase because it's so apt here. and the other instance we have of a president before a grand jury actually is nixon af

we peaked on our heat wave, and that means carl the fog is taking over the bay area. >> and carl is taking over the bridges too. believe it or not, yes, that is the golden gate bridge on the left. the bay bridge on the middle and the san mateo bridge on the right. you want to take it easy. we have a dense fog advisory in effect for golden gate. the other ones we don't have an official dense fog adviery, but i drove in on the bay area, and pretty dense. >> i used the windshield wipers i think twice. especially coming out of the caldecott, it was really thick. >> good to know. >> if i could hug the fog, i would hug it. >> luckily, we can hug you, mike. >> group hug. >> tv hug. >> the reason we do that is because hr is also watching. >> who knows how far the wires will let us go, too. hr is probably the more important part. hi, everybody. here's a look at live doppler 7. i overlaid the cloud layer. they're definitely out there and spilling into the bay, as we talked about. look at these temperatures. most of us in the 60s to near 70 by 7:00. we head through the 12-hour day planner. 68 in san

i asked a close friend of mine to do it. >> carl bernstein.ers of donald trump is saying he admitted of having leaked. >> it is more than him acknowledge thag acknowledging that he leaked. we have seen the former director say today that he engineered the appointment of the special counsel. he believes that so strongly that there needed to be this investigation without intrusions from the president and those around him and the former attorney general. but, it is an extraordinary thing, not since jay edgar hoover in our country had such e fe effecti effects in our elections and our cultures. comey knows things. that's what clears from this testimony. he knows things. he's got records that he made of it and we don't know what else he knows. i cannot imagine he took all of these actions without thinking there is something, very, very serious here and that's why we see these investigations plural. closing in on the president of the united states and the president meanwhile has gone to his base making the conduct of others the issue and tried to ral

thanks to sahil kapur and carl riccadonna. hear what u.s.retary of commerce wilbur ross is expecting to hear from canada and mexico when naftarene ations begin later this summer. this is bloomberg. ♪ vonnie: this is "bloomberg markets." i am vonnie quinn. there is a conference today outside of washington on attracting foreign investment into the united states. on the top of the list of notable speakers is the commerce secretary, wilbur ross. david westin sat down with ross earlier today and asked him about nafta renegotiations, which are scheduled to start later this summer and about what he is hoping to hear from canada and from mexico. sec. ross: both governments are quite receptive to the idea of the renegotiation. they both know that this is at best an outdated agreement. it doesn't really address the digital economy. it is not really much address services in general. it certainly does not do much on financial services. it also does not do very much on natural resources. those are some big gaping holes in it. in part because the mexicans

so, carl, let's talk about what happened. today. the president first brought up the issue of tapes when he tweeted, right? a warning to comey, last month, he said, you know, the issue is raised again today. watch this. >> get back to james comey's testimony. you suggested he didn't tell the truth in everything he said. he did say under oath that you told him to let the flynn -- you said you hoped the flynn investigation, you could -- >> i didn't say that. >> so he lied about that? >> well, i didn't say that. i mean, i will tell you, i didn't say that. >> and did he ask you to pledge his loyalty -- >> and there'd be nothing wrong if i did say it according to everybody that i've read today, but i did not say that. >> and did he ask for a pledge of loyalty from you? that's another thing he said. >> no, he did not. >> he said those things under oath. would you be willing to speak under oath? to give your version of those events? >> 100%. i didn't say under oath. i hardly know the man. i'm not going to say i want you to pledge allegiance

that was president nixon's press secretary john ziegler talking about bob woodward and carl bernsteint the "washington post" with coverage of the watergate investigation. they were subsequently portrayed by robert redford and dustin hoffman in "all the president's men" which was based on their book. >> every day bob and i would go have a cup of coffee together in the morning in a little vending machine room off the newsroom. >> it sure is quiet in here. >> and on this particular day, not that long after the break-in, i put a dime in the coffee machine, which is what it cost then. and i literally felt this chill go down my neck. i mean literally, made my hair stick up, i think. and i turned to woodward and said oh my god, this president is going to be impeached. and woodward looked at me and said, "oh my god, you're right." >> that is carl bernstein in the documentary "all the president's men revisited" which includes the perspective of some people who did not live through watergate themselves like our own rachel maddow. when we come back, a journalist who covered watergate and one of

carl is referencing 30 minus fives. this is now below 100, trading around 96. as the curve has been since 2007 here is the triple asterisk. while we all have gotten used to the odor of natural gas in the room and can't tell it's there, we all talk about the yield curve like it means something. how can it mean something when the entire long end of the market globally in the biggest economies of the world have a big central bank thumb on the scale? how do you interpret this? we move on like robots means recession. i'll tell you what it means. any yield curve you want get mario, janet or carney on the phone and tell them to sell a few securities euro versus the pound specifically on a day when brexit negotiations have finally gotten under way, that chart doesn't look a whole lot different so we want to continue to pay attention for that dynamic. carl, jim, back to you. >> rick, thank you very much when we come back, we'll talk to toni sacconaghi on the changing media business. >> because technology is moving so quickly, it's really a moving target you know, audien

good morning, rick. >> good morning, carl.e'll be discussing lots of fed issues starting today with dr. shelton. judy shelton, thank you, doctor, for being my guest today. >> thank you so much for having me. >> you know, this morning in the journal, just rhetorical questions. can our fed not see that other central bankers' policy is negating what they're doing? you wrote years ago, what if janet yellen's wrong i have been speaking since 2010. it seems to me like double or nothing central banking is a dangerous path to be down. you hear all the questions reporters ask. an entity in a small group of other entities controlling the capital, the value of what we labor for. not a peep, crickets your thoughts, dr. shelton. >> well, mr. santelli, you certainly have been a voice crying in the wilderness about this and i agree with you i'm not someone who thinks that the fed is omniscient. quite the contrary we have put the free market economy that believes free market outcomes are much better than central planning we have put that in t

carl >> thank you very much, kayla tausche.igma is holding the first investor meeting this morning in new york we are joined by the ceo now, david, thank you for being with us. >> good to be with you, thanks. >> if we see this tomorrow, what could happen next week if there's a vote >> well, we are at our investor day and walked through the ability to walk through the ability to go forward. that has been a successful recipe to grow at 11% over the last eight years as it relates to the bill, the bill is going after a portion of the market, specifically the medicaid and the individual marketplace. we don't really participate in the medicaid market. we participate at a small level in the individual market and we have been able to prove that when you engage with health care professionals with individuals, some positive things happen. so we're trying to help legislators understand there are bright spots in the market that they can look at as they evolve their legislation. >> all right so then help investors understand the relationshi
