and i think this played to his favor. and my personal, you know, frankly disgust for some of the attacks that he made beginning -- i worked for jeb bush, so beginning on a personal level with his attacks on jeb's wife and then going all the way through to attacks on ted cruz's wife, everybody's wife, it seemed like. and judge curiel, etc. you know, i had to reflect on basically what we had, what i had done in my past work and, you know, where these lines are that you're talking about and what, you know, what is the difference between kind of a political fight and a, and one that is productive and one that's decent and something that goes, you know, far beyond that. and i think that it's clear that we have steered, you know, too far beyond what is appropriate, and i don't think trump was the first one to do it. i think it's been happening gradually. and he was just really the first one to kind of expose it. and short answer, and i think we can get into this more, why i think it's important is that what trump exposed were th

and i talk very frankly in those two chapters of some of the black spots in russia's history and i think what i felt as a former professional diplomat for thirty years and i was an ambassador to poland and. that we must postings. i felt i had a certain responsibility to my own society to say look we are being fed. bad fantasies about russia the real russia is not what we're being told about. i want to go and i want to see what it's like and my process of disenchantment from the western propaganda machine against russia it really began pretty much in interest thousand and fourteen with the events in ukraine and the way in which they were being reported now i hope we will go into the ukrainian events a little bit later on into the program but. you mentioned the this negative image of russia and russia is definitely not an easy country it's a very complex society it's sometimes a very contorted country and i think we the russians are the first to you know and experience that and i think that actually goes to the very notion of russian patriotism and loving russia is it's a bit like caring f

i. think. jessamy share this if you city dia and says everything was down to black versus black physical fights in this movie the black community a lot better that celebrating this film run many of them but also but as you see that well actually i did not see that because in the past in the superhero movies black communities were even represented at all you barely saw any one of color in the previous superhero movies to the fact that the two major characters are both people of color to me is a bad thing and we have to keep in mind this first of all this is a movie this doesn't represent everything we see this is entertainment but it's good entertainment where we can see ourselves reflected not only as the hero but the antagonists which i have to say i've been part of several conversations where all of the hash tag kill mulgrew is right so i mean there are. killed along i'm told we. might be the love child of kill money. you can have this conversation about these two different perspectives in ou

y pg partnership, i think it also transformed the nationalism. i don't thing that was the only factor but it was a huge factor in changing turkish nationalism. when it came in 2002, they embraced something that many called marginal nationalism and that was nationalism and that it paid less attention to ethnic identity and the muslim identity was the main marker of turkish nash in their ideology. that's why i think, that probably explains why i want to embrace, and i know this was not the only factor, but apparently explains why he embraced the kurdish opening. he had a different mindset. at the time, in 2003 right after the invasion of iraq, we had. [inaudible] they were very anti- american and it was the only actor that promoted pro-western identity. they criticize them for being defensive and inward looking and they had a different outlook in a different vision but now they're all on the same page so nationalism and back in that's never good news for thehe kurds. what happened in syria and the rise of the y pg, it had a lasting impact in turkish

i think you'll see some of that going forward. have seen today a disturbing report on a huge -- for clean energy which relates to this so i think this is an area where there's a conversation to be had on capitol hill about how the president's budget is treated once it reaches them. >> all right one more question. right there. >> good evening a lieutenant colonel in the marine corps it. given the current administration's restrictive trade policy's the weakening of the dollar and the rollback of regulations on banking and finance how will this affect the economy a year or two from now? >> a year or two from now. we are all going to adjust their portfolios. >> the actions he is taking now i think particularly the tax bill will lead to i think a further increase in the deficit. they won't admit this but they seem to be trying to talk down the dollar with some success which will counteract some of the tax bills effects but over the long-term i'm not an economic forecaster but i was looking at one today as people were projecting a prett

ite: i think i always found interesting. we would literally sit around the kitchen table talking about politics mostly but also about john kennedy, nixon, the vietnam war. nixon's a kid during presidency and now is interesting because everyone was arguing a great deal about what to do about that. i think my first roll political memory is watching president nixon get on the helicopter as he left the white house and being a kid and not really understanding what that was about. so i think actually i kind of liked this way back. susan: if you could tell the audience about young people, we might not say they are not really interested in the study of history, they do not care, would you disabuse us of that notion, do you see a change in that? jane: i would disabuse that nation -- notion. i don't think this generation is any less or more interest. in fact at this moment i think they're more interested. i think they are looking for some guidance in how to think about history. for its -- example, a millennials said to me -- the diffe

well i think it will be. useless to rely on china as a voluntary cooperation because china wants to seeing two things most prison resume stability. and denuclearization which i mused surely destructive they cannot go together so as long as most of us china one still new president only to the to the extent that it doesn't the president doesn't just have allies north korea will never succeed so even though china is more cooperative the end before the sanctions that china has agreed to will make a fundamental difference in north korea's strategic take from us that will love to north korea's strategic decision to to nuke rights we're doing need these kind of sanctions that will be tantamount to total economic blockade on most korea they can really strangle north korea into economic. disaster otherwise i see no reason why north korea will agree to it in a crisis so it takes it takes greater effort on the part of us to change china's policy not just rely on china's following through cooperation us alone has the mean

that again, the up side risk is still up i still think that, you know, i again, i think with the economy being as strong as it is, you know you investments, stocks bonds, cash alternatives, and if people become less invested in stocks and bonds, just did i pure nature more money into the commodities. we have to bound, there's so much going on, but i appreciate the time you gave us >> you got it. >>> final trades after this quick break. trust #1 doctor recommended dulcolax. use dulcolax tablets for gentle dependable relief. suppositories for relief in minutes. and dulcoease for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax. designed for dependable relief.

i don't think we are over regulating. mean, i think it's sensible to sort of say, let's take stock and pause. and that is very much happening certainly when you look at what is happening in the u.s. now. that is part of the story. that is not a bad thing. see how the system settles, as i said, unfortunately in many ways we have too many regulatory initiatives. and it is the multitude of these and how they dynamically interact that is very complicated to -- to predict. so i think a sense of a sort of pause, a deliberate pause is not a bad thing, but i wouldn't say that we have -- that the system is today overregulated. francine: you love history. how does that taint your view of the world? philipp: for one thing, the unexpected will always happen, sooner or later. i think that history tells you that. and we are not very good at predicting it. and so what we have to think about is how do we build the system, how do we ensure that the system is resilient when bad things happen? rather than, you know, getting into this control

i think about the folks in the san juan office i visited recently. you want to talk about people going through a real storm. they do it and they're out in the community and i can tell you the community values what they do on the island. >> thank you. an op-ed by a number of former intelligence analysts called the nunes memo and its release one of the worst cases of poll itization of intelligence in modern american history. you had concerns about the memo. i know you can't get into the gritty details of that but can you say in your view whether or not one of those concerns is that it may have selectively cherry picked information without presenting the entire fact pattern that led up to that fisa warrant application? >> well, senator, i would repeat what we said at the time, which is that we had then and continue to have now grave concerns about the accuracy of the memorandum because of omissions. we provided thousands of documents that were very sensitive and lots and lots of briefings and it is very hard for anybody to distill all that down to 3 1/2

attacked our system so aggressively but i think that as a fact i don't i don't think that's the nihil the question then is what did that do and what impact did that have on the results of the election and for what reason did russian intelligence conduct that activity i don't have the answers to those questions and i won't speculate because i think that would be irresponsible i think we have to determine what happened and then decide what happened on the basis of the evidence and i don't think we're there yet for him that's the thing i don't know that anyone has presented the evidence and then the facts have been presented to the public by intelligence agencies american public has been misled intentionally or not by its intelligence community many times like i am i'm thinking w m d's in iraq for instance since the consequences of that are still felt fifteen years or so why every wholehearted face in what the intelligence is telling them about russia now especially what you're saying it's a fact but every time russia asks to show them the facts they they they are unable to provide them.

i think most people in this room would think it was. then the question is what do we do in the long run? that is something that is certainly getting a lot of attention from everybody in town and at the white house. in the short run, we had this raging problem where we had the least competitive tax code in the developed world and the least competitive tax code in the developed world led to some very striking things in the data that got way too little attention. if you look at the last decade, profit growth was about 10% a year for u.s. firms. wage growth on average the last decade was -.4%. we did some structural break analysis and found that there never been a time in u.s. history where the two headed in directions so opposite. there's complete disconnect to how well firms are doing and how well workers are doing. my belief is it is because those profits were booked in ireland to get the lower rate and so on. it's not just my belief. one of the things that the career staff at cae does is that they let you think about how the economy is

a couple of things about that i think i agree with you i think you have the right right take on it one mr g. and carlo chairman of the c f.t.c. he's been pretty out there for a couple years actually talking about how. the digital space should be developed and i think he. likened it to how the internet was developed so i mean much more i think even the f.c.c. hasn't to see if d.c. is sort of been out there trying to share information and let people know in this space what they should and should be doing i think that's right i think to see if he took an early view that this is out there there's nothing we can do to stop it really. so we might as well figure out what the problems are they embrace virtual currencies as a commodity and they early on to exercise jurisdiction over derivatives based on commodities as well as using their anti-fraud authority to root out potential bad guys in this area so i think the sea of the sea has taken a very very pragmatic view from the beginning i think it's very careful to say they haven't a dos the product but they simply recognize it's there and it ha

>> i don't think it's a good thing, but what i'm saying is i don't think that the evangelicals have chosen that. i think they've gravitated toward a party that is more receptive in embracing of the values that they represent. i mean, you go back to the 2012 convention of the democratic party that was in north carolina when essentially god was rejected in their platform. so there has become an increasing hostility and a difference, maybe not -- certainly not everybody is hostile in the democratic party but there's certainly an indifference to religion in the public square. >> is the republican party under president trump represent the values that evangelicals live by. >> i would say the policies. the policies of this administration that are most clearly represented in the party platform, which this president has embraced and is carrying out. so i would say the policies that we see from this administration reflect that. >> why be so clear about separating the policies from the man? >> ultimately that's what this election was about. evangelicals did not support donald trump based upon his per

i mean i don't -- i think it's a wrong legal argument, but i don't think it's a crazy one, and i thinkable to get it resolved before he testifies. >> it was also interesting because his attorneys were saying this was a direction of the white house. general kelly, chief of staff, said they did not have communication with bannon. i don't know if he was sort of, you know, just kind of parsing his words and, yes, the communication was not with bannon. it was with his attorneys or -- >> but this has been a repeated thing we've seen where people are sort of invoking the executive privilege even though the president -- >> hasn't done it. >> hasn't invoked it. it's just -- i don't know how they can keep doing this. it seems like if the president wanted to invoke executive privilege -- >> i believe general kelly said, who is this bannon of whom you speak? we don't know anyone by that name. >> it does feel like legal posturing to me as well. it feels like a move to try to -- you know, the reporting seems to indicate he's trying to control what questions they'll ask him, how long he'll testify fo

i think old age pensioners for instance will be glad and future pensioners will be glad of the stuff this this government's providing them. but i agree. that it's something tired and old about this. third grand coalition we've had something tired old about the social democratic party which has been in government only four years outside since one thousand nine hundred eight and i think you know it's more a thing than you know than you could. do this does not point in the one hundred seventy nine pages and say that's wrong it's most of the feeling of oh you know i wish there was something you india. for you as a person has worked together with social democratic parties i want to put a question to you about this social market economy as it's known here in germany both of the party leaders when they presented this agreement professed strong allegiance to the social market economy and if you look at the coalition agreement it does contain a number of provisions that go in the direction of strengthening security for workers and hansing it may not go as far as charlotte says it should but en

i think about teachers i had, i think about mr.roducing me to ralph ellison, his teacher who -- they were consistent of racist but did introduce me to hundreds of solitude as a senior in high school. no one has took me aside and was like, you're special. but they introduced know great books and important moments in my development as a person and a writer and i still think about so many things i read in elementary school, reading the lottery for the first time like all of us do and what does that teach us about 1950s america, shirley jackson's story. introduced to this novel, to james joyce as a freshman in college, when i'm speaking with my voice, and there's an explosive dynamic talent in ulysses. so, none of the teaches remember my name or know me but introduce node very important books that it still draw upon today. >> host: iris, south lyon, michigan. a few minutes left in the program with author colson whitehead other. >> caller: i love your hear. i think he went to my high school. lived in a mixed area. we all got along. we l

can hometown boy mario gomez improve their fortunes i think he can i think actually there's a lot of parallels here with. both men scored a lot of goals last season sort of how to pronounce that mess how prove avoid relegation but they were struggling this season i think as it once in fifteen games was spared this season but sometimes we need is a fresh start he's moved back to his hometown club the city felt how much he wanted this move back to stick garden and that's what for him and michelle you know yourself how important it isn't as a player to be in from india surrounding. yeah you all your friends are own to formally as they're all in so you feel free you go into the field and you don't care anymore so if the chance of coming like he did and was unbelievable he didn't score fifteen goals and he came back to wolfowitz took that and his course that that's what i mean you don't care anymore and you know was if he gets a chance he's going to he's going to school well i mean there are people there are players you know they're not robots and i suppose those things are important like

and i think that, you know, if i were steve right now, that's what i would be -- i would be thinking that's one of my options here. i mean, i literally saw steve bannon go from the guy who elected trump to the guy who thought that trump was the idiot of the century. and a guy who, you know, who came to realize that whatever goals and agenda steve had, whatever he, you know, the nationalist, populist, whatever that is -- and i don't mean to be dismissive. for steve, that is a very, very specific idea-driven program. and he thought that trump would be its, trump would be able to lead this new movement. and it turned out trump really is not capable of that, not interested in that and is, is just going to go in whatever direction he goes in at any given moment. and i think steve found that incredibly infuriating. and i think that he was using the things he said in my book as part of his intention to break with trump. so i, yes, i i think, i think that he -- i don't know what's going to happen, but i think it's a very real possibility that steve could sink the president.

>> i think so. i think, you know, obviously, as i mentioned, it's evolving. i actually believe the area that we have has just begun. three years ago, nobody knew. people talked about ai and a form of learning. and the average person did not much about ai. because it was not apply, why would you worry about it. the first deployment just started. i don't know if you're using google three years ago, you're using it now and you use it now, and better than before. and that's just the beginning. because doesn't know the context that you're asking, it could be, are you based on your calendar or something you have to do tomorrow. as a human, you can think there's that level of-- next level of thinking that ai can have. so, i think that the employment cycle, the work force, in the early stages of ai deployment and ai gets deployed more than more. in almost all cases that i'm seeing now, everything that i worked on robotics, or whether it's the deployment or self-driving cars and in almost all cases it's linking to the human being. and it's not quite-- that's why i thi

i don't think that i'm until any position to add a great deal. but i will jump in if i feel that we're teetering towards the edge. i guess my first question is, is what, what would be the impact if the democrats won control of congress an there indeed was a impeachment effort? what would that look and feel like and what would the impact be on the people of america 45% of whom in a recent poll feel that trump has den a pretty good job? and susan why don't we start with you and march down this way? >> impeachment is a very serious thing. and i think we have to be aware of the fact that there are many people who don't feel that the last year has been a fair year. nobody has concentrated on the nations business particularly. we have heard nothing but stories and gossip and speculation on television every day. and i -- i really are fear for our country if we start this cycle. this cycle of impeachment and then a kind of chaos that emerges from that. if you look at the other damaging results of the impeachment efforts in the past, this is a very, very s

i don't think anyone is suggesting that. ere's a culture it seems where things just happen and no one takes responsibility. it's all the time and people are fed up with it. >> i had 60,000 employees at one point. every time they made a mistake i would hate to think someone would have to resign. your point is well taken. i did a little math here. there are issues we are talking around and buy. police training and process, you talk about gun control. we are talking about police process and procedure and mistakes made. in the field this particular day. we are talking about actual gun control. the actual guns themselves. the actual accessories you want to change we want to delegitimize. we're talking about mental health screening. >>steve: let me stop you for a second because we will talk about that later. i want to focus on this issue of accountability in our public sector. tomi lahren, don't you think people are fed up with it? this is a really horrific catastrophic version of it. but it's an illustration of a bigger problem. >

i think. that's in american interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive. welcome back to worlds apart with tony cabin a former diplomat in russia and the author of a book called return to moscow. mr cameron what. we started discussing your crane before the break the break and there was definitely a genuine aliment in that uprising people wanted change positive change they wanted to day and to to corruption the they wanted a more fair more representative a more transparent government and all of those. calls you can hear in russia these days changes also have pretty popular world in this country but i think russia's relationship with changes is interesting because as the former prime minister of the imperial russia once said everythi

i don't think it's going to be a material impact. aybe headline weakness. that's on top of the weakness we've already seen from the transports in a vacuum, i think that transports will probably most likely remain weak >> my two cents would be, i wonder what you think about this, if in fact we come out of this and the market as a whole recovers, i think you want to watch the transports to see what the character of this market is going to be. did we just have a leadership change through this correction and maybe if the correction goes deeper, back towards more growthy market or can the market actually get a full comprehensive lift if transports aren't there >> and, look, i cited the beginnings of q1 revenue growth for a lot of these players within the airline portion of the space. look, i'll tell you, it's been solid. i think one thing you have to realize is is there has been a lot of positive expectations in general for the truckers, et cetera a lot of things were built in. in general, i'm bullish on the space. and i think you can see

i think. i am. i. in the stories that shaped the week just gone with twenty eight hundred winter games kicked off in south korea russia. just hours before the opening ceremony as their appeals against a doping related ban were rejected. airstrikes by the us led coalition hit syrian pro-government forces reportedly killing nearly one hundred people the pentagon claims it was carried out to defend an american backed group. and british m.p.'s jet out to washington to haul the biggest social media firms over the coals about suspected russian meddling during breaks it but they come away empty handed.

i didn't think the second statement, frankly, cleared it up. i understand chief of staff kelly feels personally loyal to mr. porter. but at the end of the day, he's got to decide what's best for the president right here and what's best is not to defend this. >> all right. so alice, this photograph is really damning, we talked about this last segment. there it is. porter is saying "i took the photograph" or whatever, but there you go. his ex-wife told "the washington post," "i thought by sharing my story with the fbi, he wouldn't be put in that post. i'm telling the fbi this is what he's done. and jenny willoughby is telling them. and the white house says, sure, this is okay? i was let down by that." what do you say about this, what do you think about what the white house has done? >> i think they clearly dropped the ball here. look, rob says that this didn't happen. he says he's innocent. he says it's a smear campaign. but the fact that he can't categorically deny this leaves questions. look, i don't care if this guy has the ivy league parchment

beautiful beaches with friendly people who spent most of that time surfing and i know it's typical but i think it's a nice mental picture to get you through the long russian winter but i suspect when you say russia in their struggle in context. the associations are probably not so positive are they. they can be quite negative unfortunately we've been fed a diet of cliches about russia. russia is still very much seen through a post soviet lens as the successor to the soviet union and somehow or other images of. starvation in the country of extreme cold discomfort of. the kinds of things that unfortunately still linger and you wrote the whole book to address some of those negative stereotypes and i think you have a very unusual take for a western or former western diplomat. when it comes to russia because. i think there's a lot of understanding there's also a lot of compassion in your book and i really appreciate that but i will want to ask you whether you ever felt that you are giving this country an easy pass i don't think i think that the majority of the content of my book. deals with the som

it's political absolutely i think it's totally political and i think there's a tremendous amount of pressure as i said from the l g b t i found out in my many years of working with transgendered people that there is a groundswell of people be transitioning i'm working with them all the time now more and more letters from around the world from people who after five seven twelve maybe fifteen even twenty years they wanted to transition back calling the surgery and their gender change just pure folly and foolishness and totally unnecessary so they want to help the transition just as i've done speaking of your personal story you were born a male late to try changed and lives is as a woman as i understand the need to change back how difficult was it for you when you felt at that point you made a mistake or you wanted to change back and how happy do you feel about since having changed to both genders. well i feel quite good i've been back now to my birth gender for twenty five years i've been married for twenty years you know when i discovered that. this whole this whole transgender thing

i think you will talk next time. potle i might be able to go there if they get taco bell stuff others say, o, no, yeah, taco bell, yeah >> it's a controversial hire >> why show them how to make a taco. >> i was kauch watching "kramer. he said you will bring in this guy from taco bell he will change things. i have a lot of respect for jim. >> see that's the thing, he has a mexican restaurant. >> the fact i think is important is brian nichol who i know well is a good brand builder. the reason that stock has gone up 20% people see that. he came to yum from procter & gamble he had been there ten years. he never once said at procter & gamble, we did it this way he will not be so stupid, people throw him out of that place, but at the same time, he can use his brand building skills i think to take the business to the next level. >> you also pointed out food safety >> brian, i was sad to see him leave. we have a great ceo at yum brands brian really understands digital. he really understands innovation he's 43-years-old, he's

i think that's a temporary respite. i think u.s. treasuries can take a severe hammering over the next two, three months. >> you're quite worried about the demand for u.s. treasuries, are you? >> yeah. when you look at the demand. the demand has come from foreign buyers that's well and fine when the foreign buyers bought treasuries for negative interest rate policies and also for cny flows, for oil related flows. you have 5$508 billion of issuance coming from a rolloff or new issuance of treasuries due to the fiscal plan trump put into place i don't see where those buyers come from. to say you're going to get atrey market, you have to assume cny will go down to 6 or oil prices to 75. all you're seeing is a recycle of flows where these two guys have been buying treasuries. the domestic demand has been quite subpar so i just don't see, give than we got so much issuance coming over the course of this year, i can't find a natural buyer the same for me applies to equities hence this bond equity correlation story will come back i think you

i think what is important, and where we are also optimistic, i think the very important reforms happeningsaudi arabia are coming together and we are starting to see very good results there. egypt is very positive. yousef: what is the highlight of the gulf for you? >> in egypt, we will have the presidential election. a lot of reforms happen, so egypt is back in the right track and we hope things continue. yousef: anymore appetite to push further into africa? >> we are in kenya and have plans to push to east africa. next, counting the cost of the qatar crisis. we hear from the ceo of the tar commercial bank and why he thinks the this is bloomberg. ♪ standoff will this is bloomberg. ♪ lead to higher funding costs. "best of bloomberg markets: middle eas yousef: welcome back to "best of bloomberg markets: middle east." the group ceo of qatar commercial bank said that funding costs will probably rise as a result of the saudi led boycott of the nation. most investors have come to terms with the situation and have moved on. he spoke to me as the bank announced a 20% rise in four year net profit.

so i think it was well you know one person who can. you know do something about you know if you think oh i have a daughter let me just you know think in a different way. or in a way that was not the right word but it you know. i think that's very very important thing here how to mind and i know there's a lot of you know in india where you know what it is doing and what. your motivation. is why don't you. think you really want to make a community. because. i think that was the car. and you can see that. soon enough for those around can as he was making his the final fling series of such him a day after day which means truth alone triumphs and the show is talk show highlights some very important issues in india let me give you one example this is part of the story have a look. so if you thought of a us have you thought. for harvey love doesn't win if only our. jadick will survive without us a psychiatrist occleve medical muscular. that i love that i just never offered up any. lower notes of their curvy. if you know. but are you worked on

>> i think it's a very similar situation. president trump is obviously fanning the flames with comments like the one he made yesterday. in response to a question about rod rosenstein. but i do think that the white house counsel stepped in. i've spoken to two sources inside the white house who said that they are certainly concerned about this. and they have advised the president not to take any actions against rod rosen stein. that the release of this memo was enough to allow the american public, they feel, to draw their own conclusions about the russia investigation and how it's being led. but that taking any punitive measures against rod rosenstein, firing him with the intent that his replacement would then end the russia investigation, by firing bob mueller is just a step they don't want to take and something that would create a massive headache for this administration. >> jeff to you see enough in the memo to help justify firing rosenstein? >> i'm not sure that it matters. i think that the fact it's been released, the fact

>> ditto. >> i think that's an excellent note to end on. really don't want to take up anymore of your time. appreciate they took the time out of their extremely busy days to share, like, really their truly experts in the field. i personal i enjoyed this discussion and they deserve an excellent round of applause. [applause]

so no, i don't, i don't think it's fair to point in the same way i don't think it is fair to say that donald trump is soul reason for lack of civility again we're all in this. and if didn't work they wouldn't do it. if we penalized them for this, if the bases were not where they are, then it would be different. now, if you're in the democratic bases i suspect you know, you have secret meetings u now or maybe they're not so secret. [laughter] we have the dick tracy the radio you talk to each other. getting ready for, you know, just are to barricades and if you're on the right you think that people who criticize donald trump you know are hopeless and snobs. but truth is somewhere in between. and i think until we have a disposition of heart and mind where the in between space it's a little more real traction in the debate than the the world jack ising talking about in the world i think motion of us want isn't going to come about >> so i'm going to to call one more person for questioning and summarize by asking in part of response to that question do you have any prescriptions please? >>

i think he was right. but higher before lower. here are markets on the move. we'll do more data checks here through the hour. kevin coming up next, and yes, kevin, i know he's in the studio right now. it's why i wore my green tie as well. coming up later today, across all of bloomberg, the dissenter from minneapolis, neil on the new chairman in washington. this is bloomberg. stay with us. ♪ taylor: let's get the bloomberg business flash. in south korea, samsung electronics is free to leave prison almost a year after he was detained in a bribery scandal. a high court suspended lee's sentence and put him on probation for four years. he was the highest profile business figure caught in a corruption probe that brought down former south korean president. brood com and trying to force qualcomm to the bargaining table. according to a person with knowledge of the matter, the chipmaker plans to raise its keover bid for around $120 billion. qualcomm dismissed an earlier offer. and ryanair is making a surprise investor payout after cafing in

i think we -- i think we -- i agree with you. it's not multilateral in is essence, it's plural lateral. i think that's a really good indication. one more area, if i may, where international cooperation is key and favored by many countries, including the united states, i think, actually. it's the fight against corruption. we haven't talked much about it and i don't want to spend too much time on it, but it's one area which combined with the fight against tax evasion and profit shifting and all the rest of it is actually vital to give more hope and encourage our economies. >> mark carney, i think you wanted to say something on this. >> you want to speak structural so i'll try to concentrate there. i'll start with the cyclical point which is that we should be seeing a pick up in productivity, particularly with capital deepening. but another factor in the cyclical sense that leads to structural, we have had up until very recently quite low job churn, particularly in the united kingdom, and part of the difusion process in their new ap

i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's half. it's haven't. had a car wash. welcome back across like we are all things considered i'm peter will bill to remind you we're discussing turkey and syria. ok let me go back to dan in oxford i hate going to hard breaks like that but it happens ok so i'm going to go let you finish your point with the proviso here i'm really glad we went to this point in talking about u.s. turkey relations because in the foreign policy blob's fear in washington the great swamp of america i mean there's plenty of people that are writing off turkey completely say even we don't need them in nato i mean they're in this is in the national security council this is in. the state department defense department i mean there is a raging debate going on in the intelligence community as well is how important they want because this is what it gets down to the it's who's calling who's bluff and i hate that ok because everybod

and i think it's a fascinating conversation. i don't know that it's a law enforcement that necessarily needs to drive the conversation, but it's absolutely one in the united states that has to be had. are we comfortable with that? i mean, are we ready to acknowledge the fact that there will be a space somewhere where people can conspire or hide things or do things that just can't be seen by anyone? i have my own personal thoughts on that i won't share. i think the country as a whole needs to have a conversation whether or not we're willing to accept that reality, because i think that's a scary proposition. the flip side to that, you know, maybe the idea of using encryption to keep things safe, right, we want to-- the private sector wants to keep things from the bad guy. the overarching theme of all of this is technology and how it's made things more difficult for law enforcement. >> that is, but not impossible. and you remember not too long ago we had the investigation that was the largest kind of dark market or-- well, yeah, i c

i don't think it's going to collapse, but certainly will get tamped down. >> i think the old taylor rule, what they cause the adjusted taylor rule, which think point out i don't see how the ten year in this stronger economy driven by lower corporate taxes cannot get to 4%. it's got to get to 4%. i'm going to give him a "b" so he has some room to move here. he's going to play politics a bit on the side to not let the things that should be distracting the fed from its independence at its monetary policy, to be at the center of the focus. if congress wants to hear that they like rules a bit more, he's going to give them that. they sort of stay focused. i think the politics were have i interesting compared to the last chairs. >> i think, with his discussion of product activityand his mentioning of corporate taxes. i think basically, unlike the past chairman, he favors this policy on the fiscal side, and he favors growth he's not going to panic. >> we've got to go, guys >> larry, quick question, did powell take an oath of loyalty to trump before taking this job >> no, that's not the way it wo

>> well, i think it's beyond party. e thing we're all seeing especially as women right now with everything happening with the me too movement, everything that we are seeing it's really important that we look beyond party and the person. right? we, you know, even after a political operative i can say that and michael steele said that looking at his own party. like at what point do we put our values and what point are we values voters and we have to see that we are going to be pushing for the candidates who are representing our values, who are speaking for us? this is the first time to see that people were putting party before their own values in a way so much so that it was a child, accused credible child molester and a bridge too far for many peoples and the most conservative of the base here for the republican party at this conference and always is. >> josh, let me ask you finally, how do you see president trump's appeal to the base of his party playing out come the midterms? >> well, i -- maybe not that well because it

i don't think so i was in touch with. earlier today and yesterday they confirmed again but they are not giving them what seems to be the situation right now is that they are still in the government the government because a presidential palace they are confined to two districts among a than eighty eight districts and they're waiting to hear back from the president in the uk who is currently meeting with the prime really with the with the with the saudis and. until then they're waiting to hear to hear what what's next at the situation is basically have been escalating since two years both groups the presidential forces and the s.t.c. forces have overlapping control over the city and they're actually not always anything with or with each with each other and efforts to merge them together have repeatedly repeatedly failed one group is backed by the u.a.e. and the s.b.c. and the other is backed and supported by money by saudi arabia. i think it was inevitable to happen because simply you cannot have two forces controlling the

because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so one more transfer. and thinks this minute. how much of. this detail bundle of joy he would have no chance of surviving in the wild. this can only win one come at a time but usually good business to. china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. is it with you any. china's penda breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on show for the public. several cups of bone here each year. but only less would buy dedicated scientists will be fit enough a different kind of come to be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice a tool but in the same lazy way they do everything else with this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the. oh no appetite i mean for conflict is very very low these days and publics are much more eager to see economic improvement than they are to. actually get into a fight with a neighbor or or with other
