there is momentum that builds for garfield and he gets the nomination. he jumps on stage and says i protest. how can you give the nominee into a man who does not seek it? he ends up with it anyway. he then has thrown onto the ticket a man whom burials all of the to the system, chester arthur. garfield with this man who was detached from party politics, who made a pledge, he was born in a log cabin, had runaway slaves as a child and his big issues were universal education and universal suffrage and the end to the spoil system and creation of the modern civil service and we are supposed to get that vision four months into his presidency, shot by an officer who met chester arthur who writes in his letter of declaration that he killed garfield so arthur can be president and expected to be rewarded as consul general and that didn't happen. arthur ends up having a respectable presidency in part because a mentally ill woman on the upper east side of manhattan started snail mail trolling him telling him how loathsome he was but there is still hope for him. he de

soap her middle name is garfield.[laughter] and with that i will take your questions. [applause] fun story, that's for sure. i'm wondering why the supreme court didn't get more involved in many of these things in particular the type n. 41 or really at any point prior to the point when the amendment kind of makes things clear. constitutional interpretation seems to be an issue. why is that? >> it's a great question. in the case of tyler, they actually tried to seek out the inside of the chief justice, but the chief justice hated henry clay and hated tyler said he didn't want to get involved because he was going to make one of his enemies happy one way or another and so he abdicated for the responsibility. it's in the book. [laughter] if the constitution is clear that the duties and powers of the president evolved to the vice president regardless what you call it, can you spin out on what is really at stake whether he is called the acting president or the president if he has all the same powers? i understand there's a d

garfield: -- have we? garfield: haven't, but the euro, especially in asia, has been blocked by what is going on with the pound and the euro pound. all of these polls suddenly showing that the tories might not get such a straightforward victory as some have thought, so the euro inen place. it is a bit of a mixed bag for the euro outlook. there is uncertainty, but the uncertainty around what will replace -- what comes once merkel does was already there and even at the margin, you think this might increase chances for a gradual move toward the sort of stimulus a lot of people have been saying germany needs to pursue. that could ultimately be seen as euro positive, so i think that helps to explain some of the hesitancy so far in currency markets in response to what happened over the weekend in germany. anna: interesting to see, and you mentioned euro-pound and we should be mindful of what you said in terms of the asian session, but we see cable hasn't moved that much. having said that, retreating down .1% or s

garfield: that is part of what is taking place. there were similar comments here, and of course the most important reason for that is mr. powell, he has made it clear he is not cutting. that takes away a lot of the impetus for central banks around the world to cut. some felt over pressured to resort to easing because the fed moved so rapidly to reverse much of the rate hikes in 2018 with 75 basis points this year. now that the fed is sitting on its hands, they have the time and space to take a look at what stimulus they put into the economy has done, especially in a situation where a lot of them are obviously running short on ammunition. anna: we have seen a couple of central banks, they are talking more positively about the global environment. the bank of canada and the rba to some degree. day, how farof the will commodities the verge from stocks? as we saw stocks rally in expectation of a phase one deal, commodities have not cap pace. -- kept pace. garfield: part of the story is with the trade deal, everyone is aware the chinese

garfield: well, very interesting column. did read it and i was discussing it with some of my colleagues here. what it highlights is that the us trillion dollar -- the australian dollar, is fundamental because australia runs the fundamental account surplus. australia has launched current accounts. deficits current account surpluses breed certainty. a stronger currency is not a good thing for an economy. it does make sense that part of what has been guiding r.b.i. policy is precisely a concern the australian dollar is stronger than it should be. when you look at how anemic growth has been and where interest rates are here, you would expect it to be closer to 60 than 70. so, i think, as cameron himself wrote, is not a case of the rba's manipulation of the currency, but i do think the currency's underlying strength is part of what pushed the rba to carry out as much easing as they have. anna: central banks always watching the currency, even when they are not watching the currency. garfield reynolds joining us from sydney. you ca

our strategist, garfield reynolds. we have seen low volumes and sideways drifting. is trade the key catalyst everyone is waiting on now garfield: the key catalyst, not the only one. we have brexit, the fed, we have areecb, so, yes, there other catalogs out there, but trade would seem to be the primary one. the chinese seem to be hoping we are edging towards pretty much what is priced in by markets, which is a delay to the tariffs, which also means we could actually be disappointed if we think moves on the trade deal will actually revive asset moves because it might be that what we get is what is already priced in. about thefield, what fed decision tomorrow? are markets at all concerned about what could happen there? it seems given it would be a hold. garfield: it's a given, shery, rates.ey will hold if they did not, that would be a real shock. this is the last fed meeting for the year. they will not meet until late january, i believe. say about the outlook, firmerlly we have had than expected third-quarter gdp numbers and much firmer than expected jobs numbers, so t

garfield: well, it is definitely a risk. me the way that the pound, as you said, roared out of the gate and then stopped. some people were saying it's just waiting to see the exit poll was such a surprise to be so much better than had been expected, even in the event of a strong conservative showing, that people wanted to see if this really was the result that we were going to get. it is. yet, the pound has not gone very far. part of that is even that the concern is that now brexit can happen on an accelerated basis. and that in fact brings into focus some of the potential downsides for brexit. i mean, as far as the actual levels for the pound, we were talking about how the range for the pound was likely to be 1.27 -1.34 depending on whether it or strongour win conservative majority. now, we need to discover more of the details on that front, what the eu and u.k. can get done, and also what the impacts will be of an actual brexit. this concern that there is a limit to how much you can benefit just from the removal of uncerta

none of this came to pass in america because the president who came after garfield, chester a. arthur, signed a law creating the modern civil service. today the president still has the authority to make political appointments to the most senior positions in the executive branch, but the overwhelming majority of positions are career civil servants who are hired based on merit, not political connections. the diplomatic corps was similarly professionalized in the decades that followed. put simply, that swamp was drained. now other swamps have arisen, and actions like campaign finance reform are badly needed to address them. but professional civil servants are not the problem. in fact, since the civil service and foreign service were created, they have risen to every challenge. they mobilized america's resources to protect the public health, to beat back the great depression and wage war on fascism and on poverty. and over the last half century, as the number of americans they're serving has grown by more than 120 million, the number of civil servants has remained flat. that's doin

here in kenya in garfield's maya is something of an exception. i salute the singers from overseas are much better than ourselves this is why is that for them to understand the training up. there are 24 state conservatories in germany. but their graduates don't always amount to much. from sponsorship on the 20 young americans auditioned for me i could hire 19 of them and me and i but if i audition students in german conservatories fours and 19 of them are employable. maybe one conditional once in. time so obviously there's something wrong with our system. we could learn from those other systems that are doing something right. this i always thought that germany's conservatories were world class but it seems that the standard of teaching let students down. flush the nasty possible the best voice teachers on here or overseas because they were unhappy with the conditions here. and just skipped i think there are very few teachers in actually experiencing the stage 1st hand those who lose those. they know the theory but they don't know the practice. rul

ford, lincoln, garfield, and kennedy. and kennedy died. and one, reagan, survived his wounds. despite these different outcomes, the shootings of kennedy and reagan have multiple similarities and viewed on a timeline, they serve as a sort of book end to a very tumultuous and sometimes disturbing period in american history. kennedy's murder was the first in a series of tragic events that dismayed the nation in the 1960's and 70's. shocking incidents that included the assassinations of martin luther king jr. and robert kennedy, both in 1968. in the public consciousness, even though the killers each had different motives, the murders are seldom considered nrelated acts. as a instead viewed conspiracy. conversely, less than two months after reagan's shooting and survival, pope john paul ii also survived an assassination attempt likely approved if not orchestrated by the kgb. it seemed as if the world's luck had suddenly changed, for the better. unlike lincoln, who was killed at the pinnacle of his presidency, the very week of the union victory in the civil war, neither kennedy's no
