it does not give anyone everything they want. but that's the nature of a compromise. it is a fair down the middle compromise. it protects dreamers, includes president trump full budget request for border security, including funding to build barriers along the southern border. it deals with family reunification for the dreamers and the diversity lottery. these are all the issues the president outlined when he said what he needed in a bipartisan agreement. instead, republicans in the president seem intent on pursuing a policy of intransigence, doing the same thing they did on health care, on taxes. no negotiation, no discussion, take it or leave it. so, i challenge president trump and republican leaders to step up and be willing to take "yes" for an answer. we have been fair. we are happy to negotiate. we have been right down the middle when it comes to immigration. time for political posturing is running short. bipartisan groups of senators and congressmen are fervently working towards a deal on all the issues i outlined. we can do it all. we should do it all. senator

he does not smoke.does not have diabetes, a lot of the traditional risk factors, so i think those things in combination with the excellent cardiac results that we got from the exercise stress test are very reassuring. you did a great job at that. what you world out, there have been reports that the president has forgotten names -- what you thereout -- ruled out, have been reports of the president has forgotten names. and then getting people tips before they walk out of the door in terms of behavior. what did you tell the president outside of diet that he might want to change? dr. jackson: yes, i think that cognitive test is well respected. it is a test that is used throughout the united states. lots and lots of institutions use that test. it is the one used at walter reed for patients they feel they want to do a cognitive screen on. it is universally accepted. as i said, it is more intensive than some of the guidelines, but it screams for all kinds of things, any type of cognitive issues, alzheimer's, s

for what purpose does the gentlewoman rise? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. foxx: thank you, myrick. -- thank you, mr. speaker. during times of strive and stagnation, the most powerful ool we have at our self is power of prayer. i send my prayers for the men and women in our military going without pay and those children going without critical health care during this schumer shutdown. house republicans fulfilled our bipartisan mission to responsibly fund the government, support our troops and re-authorize chip for the children who rely on the program. the reason that senator schumer and senate democrats shut down the government is plain and simple. they value the demands of illegal immigrants more than they value the needs of american citizens. it is now the third day of the schumer shutdown, and that's three days too many in my book. i pray that the senate democrats who have shut down our go

it does china need to come to an agreement on airbus? enda: it still does.in and the value chain. there have their own homemade design jets being tested in the air as we speak. i think there is still a sense they need western know-how, western technology and certainly one where they need western made -- western designed products. i think there is scope for western companies to stay ahead of china, but there's no doubt they are moving up in the value chain rapidly. they are not far in -- behind in many other suspects -- sectors as well. tom: here with capital economics and em, what is your statistic on real chinese growth? 6-ish?ptimistic 7, neil: we have our own china activity proxy that was up its percent and now it's just above 5%. the economy slowed quite a bit. my bet is it gets below 5% pretty soon this year and ends the year somewhere in the early 4%. i think the economy is in a sharp slowdown. francine: all right. when do we get a new pboc governor? neil: we should this year. francine: it could be imminent and it could take several months. what is his

for what purpose does michigan seek recognition? if the gentlelady will yield, until the gentlelady yields, i will not recognized. the gentlelady is recognized for unanimous consent. ms. jackson lee: i ask unanimous consent to bring up h.r. 4872 the end shutdown act of 2018, a continuing resolution that would reopen the government through tuesday while negotiations continue on a budget agreement that adheres to the parity and on other critical issues to stop the trump shutdown. the speaker pro tempore: that request cannot be entertained until after appropriate clearance. . mr. poe: why does it take 60 votes for a senate to make a decision? he said i can't really say what he said. he said nutty. why have this rule, we learned in elementary class that 51% is a majority. by requiring 60 votes, government is ruled by the few, not the majority. a handful of senators can block progress. a result, the government is shut down. the senate inconsistently allows the majority rule on some votes but others, 60%. the senate should strongly consid

does he regret hiring him? ms. sanders: i think the president's statement is pretty clear on what his opinion of steve bannon is and i do not think there is anything to add. >> is there regret? they did have a long and close working relationship. is there a sense of betrayal? ms. sanders: once again i think the president's statement fully addresses what his position is. >> a serious question, is the president now blocking c-span from calling his cell phone? -- steve bannon from calling his cell phone? ms. sanders: i'm am not aware they are calling his cell phone but the less conversation took part in the early part of december. >> what does this do for the president's base? ms. sanders: i don't think this does anything to the base. they supported the president and his agenda and those things have not changed. the president is exactly who he was yesterday as he was two years ago when he started out on the campaign trail. his agenda has not changed. i think he's continuing to fight for and push for that agenda. and i

he believes in the work he does. this on his 16,374 day in the house, we extension tend our congratulations to don, to ann. thank you for your service to alaska and thank you for your service to this country, don young. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? ms. pelosi: mr. speaker, i rise to honor congressman don young. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. pelosi: i rise to join our distinguished speaker in honoring congressman don young who asends to the position of dean of the -- ascends to the position of dean of the u.s. house of representatives following nearly 45 years of proud service on behalf of the people of alaska. congressman young also holds the distinction of serving as the first dean of the house from the republican party in 80 years. congratulations. on behalf of the democratic caucus, let me extend my congratulations to don, to his wife, ann, and his entire family. despite our differences, it is clear that don cares deepl

what does that look like? number 3, did you see any evidence of bone spurs that the president said he suffered from? >> none of that stuff has been bothering him. we didn't examine him for that. he's not come to me complaining of that. so there is no reason in this particular assessment. we were crunched for time with everything we had done. we didn't look at issues like that. i didn't assess that. as far as life expectancy, he probably won't live to be 200. his life expectancy is -- i'd have to say it's the same as every other american male but no less. >> specific of the dietary and exercise plan what is in store? >> i'm getting a nutrition specialist to meet with the chef. they're going to go over the preparation of the president's food to make sure that we're cutting the calories and the fats and the carbohydrates as much as we can and making good meals for him. with regards to the exercise, that's something that myself and potentially mrs. trump will work with him up stairs. there's a gym upstairs. we'll

what does government do? government does transportation. how can you, if you are in the transportation department make commitments when you're on a short fuse of, was it two weeks in december, now four weeks they want to go forward? why don't we just settle it? grow up? take responsibility? get this done for the american people? nobody i know wants a shutdown of government. well, maybe except for the president who said -- what did he say? this country needs a good shut -- our country needs a good shutdown. he said that in may. i think with his experience as president now he probably knows there's no such thing as a good shutdown. we don't want to shut down. by the way, if there is one, this will be the first time there would be a shutdown in recent history that was -- took place when one party had the white house, had the senate, and had the house of representatives, had full responsibility for managing, for leveraging, for getting the job done to fund our country for another year with certainty. and this has two years' provisions what we a

david: she does not ask about ibm?hter] ginni: her biggest thing -- this is a funny story about my mom. so this past easter, she was at my house, and i was having to leave in the middle of the day to get to the airport. and my mom says, "hey, before, before you leave, i have your annual report, and i have written you a little set of notes on it." i am like, "great, i'm even going to get a report card for my mother on this annual report." [laughter] ginni: because the first thing, like a mom does, is she looks at the pictures. and then -- but my mom says, "look, i loved this annual report." she goes, "this annual report, i understand what ibm does." and it was 50 vignettes, 50 short little vignettes, about how the world and professions and industries change because of watson, about ai, about cloud computing, and how it will make life better. right? my mom goes, "this is -- now i understand." and then she had some comments about the look and the paper type and other things, so she gave me a report card. david: did you gi

does it?riya: i think we all came in looking for the big trade, and it is a big trade, this big bear market. i would argue not. but there is enough there. bund yields rose. the fed was fairly hawkish. michael: certainly something, if you are bearish, we are not. at the end of the day i think it boils down to fundamentals. when we look at fundamentals, still slow growth despite a pickup we will probably get from tax reform, inflation may be picking up but still low by historical standards. jonathan: what does this say about the nervousness in the market? first of all, it was the boj trimming and weekly open market operation. just a little bit. then there were concerns about china, what they may or may not do with treasury holdings. after that, a tweak to a communication from the ecb. it hasn't come yet, people worried about the prospect of forward guidance. what does it say that people are so nervous off of the back of those small events? matthew: i don't think it is nerves as much as this is t

that does not seem to make sense.athan: let's have some thing that does not make sense to people, the amount of debt outstanding that trade for negative yield. i believe it is still around $7 trillion. there is enough in the market to scratch your head and wonder why we are still doing this. the abnormal can stay abnormal for a lot longer than you think. michael: we have proven that. but i think what this speaks to is, you look where the u.s. is. it does, on a relative value basis, u.s. treasuries look reasonable when compared to a lot of european rates, and then you get into the spread sectors and it is probably more compelling. jonathan: was the 10-year auction evidence of that, on the back ups, will get sufficient demand? michael: that is fair to say, probably outperformed what expectations were. that is a reasonable assessment. jonathan: your view, matt? matthew: absolutely. it was just classic after all the news that we saw earlier in the week, the backup, steepening. let's face it, if the story on china had any

what does that tell you? >> this could be a political issue for those members vying for their reelection bids later this year. joe manchin has been saying he is not going to do anything to shut the government down voting for this bill. and with joe manchin you saw that perhaps heidi kite camp and claire mccask ill will go in the corner. and doug jones's vote was interesting. although not too much because he campaigned so much in his alabama senate bid on the importance of the chip program. the house passed bill does include six years of funding for the children's health insurance program. it was put up there as a way to lure more democratic votes. in the end it looked like standing firm on the immigration issue and other issues that were kind of part of this global issue dealing with the spending caps was more of a priority for democrats. >> let's take a look at the republican list. poor tim alberta has been kidnapped by the federal shutdown. we still can't find them. these senators voted for the shutdown, je

what does the lawyer do? how does the lawyer assist the client in making out the defense if the client has chosen -- >> the lawyer will cross examine the government's witnesses, as justice white sflained, attempting to find holes in their testimony, even if the lawyer believes that they are testifying truth floy. that is the hallmark -- truthfully. that is the hallmark of the adversary system, although it is not this case. because mr. adams testified repeatedly under oath that his client's bleach that he was not there and he did not do this sincerely reflected his understanding, even if he thought that mr. mccoy said look, i was there but i'm going to get up and say they wasn't. the ethics rules are very clear about what lawyers can or can't do. none of that is at issue in this case. >> actually, this sounds like my ethics class in law school. and is very hypothetical of what do you do with a lying client? and it was any understanding that every ethics rule requires the lawyer to put the client on the stand b

the economy does well for some people and does not do well for some people and does not do well for otherssure about that. the bigger question, donald trump is donald trump, how he got there is... people who watch this programme should really focus on that, the republican party is no longer a political party as we come to think of them in democratic societies, it is a faction. when it wins, it governs as if there is no opposition, when in opposition, it ruins everything possible so that it gets re—elected. it does not acknowledge there is a separate thing. i think... we are all right, it is a transactional racing chip, they got the main thing they wanted, the tax cuts. if they see other benefits in supporting trump, then they will. come june, when they look at the public opinion polling on individual house races, in 2018, they may reconsider their judgments, and basically, all senior politicians, they do not like to be the millie eight it and they have long memories, all of them, and donald trump has humiliated paul ryan, and from time to time, mitch mcconnell, they swallow their pride, go

does the u.s. have an obligation, does the u.s., would that he want to be on the side of the protesters to show them that we were here while they were trying to fight for civil rights and for better representation, et cetera, et cetera, better economic standing within their country? do we -- do we want to make sure that we befriend people before potentially there is a different regime in power? >> again i would have to say to you that's probably a question for the u.s. government to answer. if i had to say to you that the united states's foreign policy in the middle east is a trap between american interests and american values. they oftentimes are not on the same track. if you look historically, i think a lot of people would make the argument america did not live up to the values it wants to promote in the arab spring. there are policies of human rights. and you look at countries in the middle east that are engaged in practicing human rights to international standards or livable standards, certainl

does he regret hiring him? sanders: i think the president's statement is pretty clear on what his opinion of steve bannon is and i do not think there is anything to add. closey had a long and working relationship. is there a sense of betrayal? ms. sanders: once again i think the present posse statement fully addressed his position. april. question, is the president now blocking c-span from calling his cell phone? ms. sanders: i'm am not aware they are calling his cell phone but the last situation to place in the early part of december. what does this do for the president's base? ms. sanders: i don't think anything to the supported the president and his agenda and those things have not changed. the president is exactly who he was yesterday as he was two years ago when he started out on the campaign trail. and i think the base is extremely happy. i think they're pretty happy with where he is. >> some people may not -- what happens there? ms. sanders: that is in question you have to ask steve bannon p president's

does that end the investigation? >> no. >> does that send the story? >> it does not. one of the things that even lindsay graham said who was on "meet the press" was calling christopher steele a potential criminal, and that's a former intelligent agent from the close ally, and but what lindsay graham and others decent understand, and maybe john mccain still understands this, if you fire mueller that does not end the investigation, and the investigation is not called the mueller investigation because he's the only one investigating, there's a full team investigating donald trump plus one in new york, and trump cannot stop the investigation into his finances or potential collaboration with russia by firing mueller. >> sorry to cut you off on your own show. we have to go on a commercial break. up next, joy gets her show back and 425 days after the 2016 election, donald trump is still going after hillary clinton. much more "am joy," next. ♪ when heartburn hits... fight back fast with tums smoothies. it starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue... and neutralizes

what does he do and how does he react?ederal funds rate and september will be an interesting decision. tom: i get death threats over the new york yankees and boston red sox and love notes about wage growth. we try to make a debate about where is the wage growth and what does it mean? are we not getting wage growth because the job growth is part-time hamburger flippers and the rest of low skilled americans? john: part of the story is we do not get wake with because we do not get productivity gains, you do not pay worker more if they are not being more productive and on average the productivity numbers have not picked up which has hampered wage growth. we see inflation picking up and we think about paying a worker based upon employment and productivity. with us fromvia wells fargo and we will continue through the hour. we have much to talk about with john silvia on the american labor economy, that is a good thing and also it is good to speak to james of the test fletcher school, he was scathing in his last visit on the u.s.

does the fact of his reputation for not being honest and truthful, how much does that hangover -- a president's state of the union -- how much does it hangover? >> i think it hangs over his entire administration. one of the things unique about this presidency is we have a president who is a serial fabulist. he lies willy-nilly, not up to speed on policy issues. he's degraded the office because he's unable to stick, not only to the message, but to the truth. of course, it's going to hangover the state of the union. presumably they'll have him on script from going entirely off the rails. it's a black mark on the whole administration. >> just staying on script is not in and of itself presidential. you can't become president by staying on script. e.j., the polling going into tuesday is not good. on the question of whether he is honest, the latest pquinnipiac says no, he's not honest. whether he cares about the average american, 57% say no, he doesn't care about the average american. those are not good poll numbers. the numbers we put up before, in the nbc "wall street journal" poll, americans were

does the president agree? >> i don't know about those comments. >> when is the timeline the government would be open and workers would be expected to be back at work. and national park facilities will be opened? >> most of those parks tried to maintain and keep those oh. they really tried to minimize the impact on the american people. in terms of what the turnaround time for a full reopen, as i said earlier, we are waiting on the house to vote and clear, then it'll go through the budget process and a legal review and then hit the president's desk which we expect sometime late afternoon, early evening, which would make most government offices already closed. and so they would start back in full capacity tomorrow morning. if that changes, we'll certainly let you guys know. but that's what we tentatively expect at this time. >> how do you respond to the criticism that chuck schumer lobbed turnover the weekend? negotiating with him is like negotiating with jell-o someone said. was it a concerted effort on the pres

does he take all your advice? you talked about -- since you are dealing with someone on a does he have any aler geese or anything like that? dr. jackson: on occasion he suffers from the same viral shall upper respiratory stuff you and i do and gets congestion and things of that nature. one of the things i found about president trump is that he's very independent when it comes to his medical stuff. i guess -- the way he grew up i guess he takes care of most of the little stuff hisself. he doesn't come to me for band-aids and things of that nature. i'm easily accessible. a lot of folks will. so i think, you know, he's a good patient. he sometimes, i have to convince him why i want him to do something so he doesn't just take everything i say and just take it at face value and move on. he'll ask questions why should i do that, this, that and the other. for the most part he's cooperative. he follows medical direction. he's like every other president i have taken care of. i have to get the first lady involved to do what

if that isn't what he meant, what does that mean?it means that this is a president who tends to prioritize that champion the last person who he was with was talking about. i think this is kind of reaffirming -- this is the president and the person that we have known all along. he's not consistent. he's not tethered to any ideological perspective. yes, he talked about the wall during the campaign, but don't forget the transcript of the conversation he had with the president of mexico last year where he said very candidly, this is one of the least important issues we are talking about, but politically it's very important. it just depends on the audience with this president. the only sure thing is that there is no sure thing when it comes to policy. yes, yesterday he's talking about comprehensive imtpwraeumi reform, and last night he talks about the wall on twitter when he hears the pushback from the right, and today who knows what it's going to be, and tomorrow as well. that's the only certainty, guys, he's not in a fixed place. >> jos

butpe that does not happen, if it does, we must bring more measures to bear on the north korean regime. the civilized world must remain united and vigilant against the development of a nuclear arsenal. we will never accept a nuclear north korea. more item. you have heard president trump's comments made about pakistan. the administration is million and255 assistance to pakistan. played a double game for years. they harbor the terrorists that attack our troops in afghanistan. that game is not acceptable. we expect more cooperation from pakistan in the fight against terrorism. the president is willing to go to great lengths to stop all funding from pakistan as they continue to harbor and support terrorism. the pakistan aid issue is not connected to the vote we had with jerusalem. it is connected to pakistan's harboring of terrorists. as i said in december, we will not forget the jerusalem vote. we're having a reception for those who did not oppose the u.s. position. this is a sign of u.s. friendship. in 2018.o see more the united states is asked to do a huge amount around the world. we ex

, does he mean himself or does he mean that no one on his campaign could have done anything? >> look, i think he's stating for himself and to anything that he would be a part of or know about or have sanctioned but that is something that again i think he's very clearly laid out. he and his campaign had nothing to do with. roberta. >> sarah, you talked about the stability of the u.s. dollar. but today when secretary nations spoke about the u.s. dollar it went -- it sent the dollar down to a three-year low. so i'm wondering whether the white house has concerns about the way he casually talked about the value of the dollar and whether you could say unequivocally whether the white house brings in a strong dollar policy. >> as i said, we believe in a free floating currency and that is always the president's police chief. we still very strongly believe we have a stable dollar and that is a good thing and that is why it is the reserve currency. i don't have anything else further to add on that front. >> thanks, sarah. does the white house still maintain its commitment to representat

the short answer to the question does the president have a case, no he does not.re are two causes of action alleged. one is for damage to the president's reputation and the other seeks the prior restraint, threaten a lawsuit asking the judge to restrain the distribution of the book. let's take the second one first. prior restraints are unlawful under the first amendment and have been uniformly rejected. there isn't a judge in the country that would sign an orderry straining the book particularly after the toothpaste is out of the tube and the most salacious parts of the book are out there. in terms of damages, it is impossible to liable the president of the united states. because the theory of liable is the publisher has a bigger megaphone than the victim. in this case, the so-called victim, the president, has anyone or thing on the planet. that's the practical reason why it's impossible to liable him. the legal reason is this is all somebody's opinion. and opinion is protecte protect. the only way you can liable a well-known person is if you publish something kno

>> it does. based on what you just describe, it does sound like special counsel bob mueller's team is focusing their interview portion with the president on obstruction-related issues. remember, so much discussion in the media we have focused on the firing of fbi director comey. but there are a whole host of activities that the president engaged in. you mentioned, for example, calls that the president is reported to have made to members of the intelligence community, senior leaders. remember, it was reported that he called members of congress to try to tamp down their investigation. so there have been a lot of other things that he has done over the course of the last 11 to 12 months to try to influence or potentially derail the investigation. >> and if the focus is on obstruction of justice, it reaffirms another mantra. it is not the crime but the coverup. >> right. >> we have to see if they are limited to these areas. >> fight back is not a legal doctrine when it comes to say, fighting back, tha

obviously does not want to look weak in the pacific go ahead and washington. you know you you've you've you've spoken on on on a really important subject you know this issue of either being in entrapment or abandonment issues where allies feel either being entrapped or the they're being abandoned and then it creates various there limits but let me out here throughout a proposal which is a little bit off the charts ok to deal with this situation on the korean peninsula you know i think one of the important things that needs to be done is a little bit of this tangle ing off the korea u.s. alliance within the context of the united nations command south korea is capable of carrying fighting and defeating of course not korea by conventional means of course if south korea just was able to take care of that responsibility it would also find that it has a greater spirit autonomy in its political and diplomatic decision making with regard to north korea what it does depend on with regard to the u.s. is the extended to turn the strategic deterrent that has to remain in

does not once that's up us. does not want to charge president zuma citizens are. actually looking at different options to make sure that president zuma and his opponents have the import that they take responsibility for what they have done to the ok when many people might say that jacob zuma needs to be out of office before the state of the nation address which is in february a is that going to happen and b. is it going to be done in a dignified way what do you think run opposed to is trying to do. i mean you this is this is a challenge from a poser because ideally for him to so that he's in charge you know to start his reforms in the a.n.c. and starts reforms in government he needs to be you know in chance of the you know of the government by february when we traditionally in south africa has the hope we have to opening of of you know a political year and we are governments you know forecasts what is going to do and so on now right now it seems almost impossible that you know jacob zuma will leave the state president said before that's because you know damn of co

does not listen to criticism.ly, i want censorship not because i have any illusions that we will change donald trump but because we have an international and domestic responsibility to speak up. >> i want to go to the bill that you've sponsored. how do democrats move forward with their work with the gop. you saw the joint statement sawing they don't recall the comments that the president said. can democrats negotiate with republicans in good faith? >> i think we have to negotiate with them and the notion that i don't recall is the functional equivalent of saying as donald trump has said is i didn't say it. i don't think anybody believes you when you say you don't recall. we're not even discussing what the deal was because the language was so outrageous that most americans don't understand there were a group equally, about six republicans and democrats who got together with the deal. i can tell you it's very unusual in this congress to get any kind of deal at all. the salvadorians were put in as well as the haitian

that does it for our, i'm nicole wal wallace. "mtp daily" starts right now. >> are you pulling an all nighter. >> what is that. >> are you pulling an all nighter. >> i guess. we'll see. i have a feeling i'm not. >> no? >> no. i think someone is blinking. there is a flashing light. i'll have it in a second. >> i'll go run to my tv. >> there is still no deal to avert a shutdown, but are we seeing chuck schumer about to blink? >>> good evening and welcome to "mtp daily." i'm chuck todd here in washington. there are only seven hours to go before the government has to shutdown. house members were supposed to go home. they haven't. the president was supposed to go to florida. he hasn't. and the senate has yet to schedule a vote on the short-term bill to keep the government open. it is because they voted right now it probably would fail. although just moments ago democratic senator joe donnelly of indiana broke ranks and announces he is willing to vote yes on the four week deal, the short-term funding bill and now the second democrat up

does it?u.s., but there is a lot of multinational companies that benefit from a more globalized world. even later this morning we have trade data coming up alongside the jobs report. i think there is a risk, at least in what i've been here in anecdotally, that a lot of foreign producers are rushing to get there products in the u.s. before the trump administration turns to trade policy more forcefully in 2018. was for a big pickup and imports that could be related to that rush. tom: are we fully employed in america? the agony of the trade deficit is part of america is fully employed, but there is a huge body that is not. is that where we are? are close but we can't say we are at full employment until we see wage pressures trend higher more presciently. that has not been the case. full employment is lower than where it has been a prior cycles. is as low as 4.1%? maybe not. far from 4.1%less than a lot of economist believes going into the last couple of years. tom: you are swarming over here irmi

we're are not sure it does. francine: how easy is it to model what happens because we have never had an exit f from qe. how the market reacts, how the balance settles, none of this stuff is in the history books. james: nobody has any experience looking at this. even policy rates going up is new for a lot of people, and contraction of balance sheets for central banks -- nobody has seen this before. we expect higher interest rates, obviously, longer yields and if you think about how much just eurozone governments have saved over the last 10 years because of lower interest rates, back in the envelope calculation, if they had stayed where they were in 2007 through the next 10 years and debt levels have gone up, interest payments governments would have made in the eurozone, almost one trillion euros more. the fiscal savings from lower interest rates have been quite substantial. that is about to go into reverse. we bigger deficits and higher debt levels. we will see some fiscal pressures coming down the pipe. the poli

that does not seem to make sense. thingan: let's have some that does not make sense to people, the amount of debt outstanding that trade for negative yield. around 7 trillion. there is enough in the market to scratch your head and wonder why we are still doing this. it can say shorter. that.l: we have proven what this speaks to is, you look where the u.s. is. on a relative value basis, u.s. treasuries look reasonable when compared to a lot of european rates. then you get into the spread sectors and it is common more compelling. jonathan: was the 10-year option evidence of that, on the back of you will get sufficient demand? >> that is fair to say, outperformed what expectations were. that is a reasonable assessment. just classicas after all the news that we saw earlier in the week, the backup, steepening. if the story on china had any credibility to it, which we don't believe it has, but if it did, the curve should not be steepening. it should be flattening. most of the securities owned by central banks across the wor
