and i think that's what was her thinking that she could recreate that barack obama marriage. magic i'm sorry i don't like people to judge i think he's a strong candidate but i don't think he's an expert rock obama and by the way you know if the one the one weakness and put a judge his campaign is that he's not connecting with african-american voters he's trying. hasn't worked and joe biden has because of his past history in delaware and also with barack obama will emerge well america like to gave president. i would hope so. i and i you know let me honest i honestly think so today larry i've been surprised pleasantly surprised that i haven't heard anybody anybody in the democrat or republican go after people to judge because he's gay i don't even hear it talked about and i think that's very healthy i think that shows america's grown up a lot and i hope it means that people would not vote against him because he happens to be a gay man in the national elections what we're down to is 5 or 6 states will decide it right i think so yeah up bright. and so you've got the key states loo

time but the where we are now i think it's very difficult so i completely agree with alex that i don't think that anybody's minds were changed this week during the hearing but i also believe that it doesn't change the underlying fact that what the president has done since the beginning of this presidency is terror at the fabric of the presidency and all norms and really walk up to the boundaries of the law he's been challenged repeatedly in the courts and is lost on a lot of his in his administration's actions and i think the democrats are going to move forward with an impeachment that will ultimately die in the senate and i think is does even the is one strom said to me it's a min. ones in the. elections in america. no i don't think that's obvious for a couple of reasons number one and this is one that was acknowledged not only today by some of the experts but it is been widely discussed. presidents all presidents not just president trump not just republican presidents all presidents have incredibly wide latitude in how they conduct their interactions with foreign leaders it's why gen

this i think brock's that boris johnson i think that's going to be interesting to see how . sort of. leverage is or not leverage is that and just continuing to watch hong kong in all these hot spaces hot spots of the world and to see what happens. you know are you you know how how's the world going to react to this right on to what are you looking for in 2020. well the presidential elections lot of the because i think this is such a pivotal moment to correct everything we've spoken about today there is so much power in the hands of american voters that go beyond their own borders that they need to vote and vote wisely yeah i think that's right and like i said that we're running out of time when it comes to climate change it's difficult to see turning it around if democrats and a democrat who wants to actually cut it like tackled the issues we're talking about doesn't win in 2020 if you get 4 more years which i'm a credit you think is going to emerge with him do you think is going to emerge in which democrat do you want to emerge. i kind of like to see if you could fuse eliza

a better candidate i think joe biden is actually a nice guy i've met him i think from a candid sandpoint he's just sort of like the guy they think has the best chance of winning but why not just tell the truth and just say you know what we've got some questions about the president's phone call we really hate him we really want to get him out of there so i want to get him on something but what's to fund the fact $100.00 biden has a certain degree the guy with got paid $3000000.00 for no work so the question becomes why was he given that opportunity let's think about that for a 2nd because they want something so that is called the conflict of interest why not just say you know what that is a stone cold conflict of interest and joe biden is not being honest what's talk about it and let's talk about everything else in their own context but the democrats their back is against the wall they're getting rocked and they don't really know what to do going into 2020 so you know i think that they're just they're out of cards i mean they're trying to overturn our whole our whole country system it's n

i think that's financial i think that is health care. i think there's nor sustainability going into 2020 in their performance i'm not sure these recent laggards, but let's focus on health care. >> boeing obviously is a help on that why are we rallying? because money, as bank of america says today, the bulls are alive, cash now is at lowest level since march 2013 this long awaited money is coming off the sidelines and going into equities. >> at luke capital we're seeing the flow, not just in the u.s. where we've seen rallies this year, we are seeing it globally. we're seeing tremendous buying in japan you talked about the nikkei being up we're seeing tremendous buying in europe as well. you saw what happened, you talk about financials, joe, with deutsche bank, they came in and looked at the plan and said, hey, these guys are turning the ship properly. i think we're seeing some global growth and that's what we've been looking to see here, this rally coming globally. we're seeing it across sectors and across the globe. >> where is the money

not because i necessarily think the most important. actually don't think those of the most important. that's would doing on this panel. i think in each element of the ic, i would redesign the internal civil liberties office to increase its hierarchical stature and his access and safeguard the kind of rule and policy development and its connections to external advocacy communities. to try to bring civil liberties perspectives into the agency development process. >> can i just one more think. i think we look at that is about understanding, that kind of covers some of this. you have reporting inside, and external. i would argue that in terms of for example would agencies investigated sector and inspector general and reinforcing the importance of someone it can be in both worl worlds. i think it would-be another think that i would strengthen. i would use that a sneak complement to the rust that has been talked about. i think that rules especially important. >> we do see strengthen is inspector general news, you specific recommendations ? >

really i think my lifetime. i mean which i think the end goal is of these movements the strains in the global north people are saying i think that i have to eat kits i might have what i might have none because i'm really worried about the well that i'm sending them out into. well i think the end goal for the movement that i study which is who are making the child free choice is that everybody has the right in the opportunity to make that choice for their families that is right for them and in the case of the people that i have studied that is to not become parents so the end goal really would be around every choice. so what i want to bring in a male voice into this is a bioethicist actually this is jake from washington d.c. and here's what he told us there's a number of things that can be done to encourage people to have fewer children that don't involve coercion states and n.g.o.s can promote women's rights when women have access to high quality health care jobs and education they tend to choose to have fewer ch

it's terrifying for i think american citizens. mean, those of us who believe in civil liberties, which should be the bulk of washington -- paul: everybody. >> yeah. you hohow come there's sort of most of the press has been abuses of the fbi is trump in a were r worse than anything we learned about donald trump and russia. >> absolutely. the ig report has been absolutely devastating to the fbi and we already had reports come out, i mean, people forget, short memories, but we've had three reports about jim comey, the former fbi director and his tenure. the first one, which dealt with the hillary clinton probe, accused him of being insubordinate to superiors. we had one about the leak of his memo to the press about the conversation was the president which pointed out was dangerous, reckless behavior and we have an ig report about the fbi playing fast and loose with the fisa court. this really does call into many americans' minds r whether or wt they can trust the fbi at all. there's been institutional damage, all because they were goi

i think that's his strategy, the strategy that will play in the big delicate-rich states. and enough money at the end of the race to then be able to compete. i'm not sure if that's a winning strategy, we never see that strategy play out in modern politics but we will see what he can do. we have a billionaire in the white house. everything is different. >> rachel: we could see -- could we see barack obama on the supreme court one day? watch what his former vp joe biden says when asked about it during a campaign event saturday in iowa, take a look. >> will president biden nominate dr. obama to the supreme court? >> if he to take it, yes. >> rachel: only one former president has ever been a supreme court justice. when i heard this story, heather, i thought, you know, barack obama and michelle obama are doing a lot to earn money right now. they make probably $250,000 speech. would he be willing to go down and make $250,000 year as a supreme court justice? >> heather: i thought it was interesting, in terms of former president obama has not officially endorsed, obviously we all

i think. a large number of people coming out to resume their ways is i think in the last couple of years we've seen young people taking to the streets we saw that even in cop 25 in madrid which happened recently. but i think that what we really need to go more into is also trying to garner more political will in the trash and speaking of the political will peter newman in perth australia as government and australia's political leaders have come under a lot of criticism for what's being described as their inadequate policies what are these policies precisely right now is the australian government doing enough in your view to help stem the rise in global temperatures now they're not doing nearly enough and. must admit i was very ashamed to be honest after the madrid conference when. brazil and america. basically worked to undermine the the global agreement that was coming through the and governments basically doesn't want anything to change and. they are trying to say that we will keep up with t

i think he's honest with me. republicans, no, you're right, we can have it. >> if i could have your attention so we could begin the speaking portion of the program and allow you to leave early to go shopping. this is christmas week, after all. we are absolutely amazed at the attendance here today, knowing how close we are to christmas. but i think, and our guest speaker would agree, this is why new hampshire is so new unique and we fights or to make a the nation a good resonance of this wonderful state take the politics very, very seriously. they are to be commended but i think it's also a sign why we should be and continue to be number one primary and the united states. [applause] and i want to thank all of you for again for being here. today is the new england council i think i can say with confidence our final, our final event of the year, 2019. and what a a year and has been for the new england council. we have hosted a little over 80, 80 events throughout all new england and in washington, d.c., with all the

i think 270?airs here. >> guys still ahead there could be a breakout brewing in one biotech name we'll tell what you it is and what it might mean for the rest of the space live at the nasdaq in times square more "fast money" is still ahead. (vo) the flock blindly falls into formation. flying south for the winter. they never stray from their predetermined path. but this season, a more thrilling journey is calling. defy the laws of human nature. at the season of audi sales event. >>> welcome back to "fast money. tomorrow could be a marriage moment for biogen investors. if you recall they surged back in october after the company said it would seek regulatory approval on the major alzheimer's drug tomorrow biogen releases details on the drug. meg tyler with what to watch. >> seven months before that biogen stopped development of the drug after analysis suggested it was unlikely to work now the reversal after the company got additional data, adding back $10 billion in market value for biogen. set up th

but i don't think he's the right man for i think football and they really do need you know a big coach one with a good track record of success they have the sort of drool and appeal to get a coach like that and you know if you look at a club like manchester united you appointed only going to social in the premier league offer a few good results so that's not going well so i think they're probably going to be hoping to get a big name and that's i mean obviously you know it was you know i was on the market i think dortmund would be interested in him i think by and were also be interested in him possibly at the end of the season this year with his compensation as well dortmund would be great i think if they could get for charity and i think he's the kind of manager they're missing but i said if given the choice between have garnett goldman's are going to go that's a buy and probably has the flick is done well so far but i don't see them keeping him around after the long time full time will tell him that full time for us i like to thank my guests jonathan crane along with ed mccabe rich fo

i like to think i'm a historian so i don't make predictions. it's a new situation and we don't even have the words for it. think about fox news. there's never been anything like fox news. we know what state tv and independent tv is. we don't really know what fox is. it's something brand-new and it reinforces the lies. if you want to tell the truth you would have to contend with them defining this truth as lies. and they are very powerful. so my new book started out as a history of presidential lying. but it became about a cultural lag and have the president as part of that culture and he's the most important symbol of it and may be most important liar. but it's a much bigger problem than just trump. accepting what you said, can i share categories for a minute regarding president trump? i think that the crisis that we than mostaver politicians, most of us, most journalists understand. if i read the record correctly, and i'd like to know whether all five of us read it the same way. departuregregious from normal corruption using public office for p

i don't think that's the case. abeth warren and bernie sanders can beat them from the left. >> the question i have for you -- i didn't mean to cut you off -- do you think that's the reason that the voters are -- seem to be flocking toward only white candidates, to be blunt? we're going to talk with julian castro later. there does seem to be something in common with every one of the top five voters, at least in the polls, seem to be leaning away from candidates of color. do you think that is a safety vote or because we're not polling enough people of color? >> i think that probably is a bit of safety. again, it's not just white voters, by the way. it's african-american voters who are in large droves in a place like south carolina supporting joe biden. it's because donald trump is an existential threat to so many people, particularly people of color in this country. i think that they have been convinced -- i'm not convinced, but i think they have been convinced you can only beat donald trump a certain way. i actually

clinton: i think i was in the office. [laughter] i think that's where i was. timothy: was it a surprise? sec. clinton: was it a surprise? by the time they actually were voted on, it wasn't a surprise, because i think rodino and his committee staff had a pretty fair idea of who was going to vote for it by then. timothy: what was your reaction to the supreme court case, u.s. v nixon? sec. clinton: about the tapes? timothy: yeah. sec. clinton: i thought the outcome was really required because president tapes were done in the course of his official role as president. and so i think that having to turn them over and having to get them cataloged and be available for the public was the right decision. timothy: ok. three more questions and we'll be done. what do you remember about president nixon's resignation? sec. clinton: i was not at all happy or jubilant about him resigning. i thought it was a very sad chapter in our history. i thought the actual departure was a really poignant, painful moment for him and his family as well as the country. so i watched it on tv l

on the other hand i think he's stuck with this democratic lose support of your democratic donor base nd grassroot base if you don't vote for impeachment. i th k the democratic reand voters in that are in a tough spot. i do have to say i think the bannon call to the house would y actulip back. as it stands today, seems to be a little bit of a stretch. i think the most likely tcomes are the republicans pick up backup seats in districts like orange county but also oklahoma city, charleston, pl es that e very democratic and u where they picked up seats last time because of trrip's unpopu that they are likely to give back. >>et me think both of our guests for their expert analysis. tim mill thank you for being with us, ron albee, thank you for being withanus. k you so much to both of you. >> thank you. >>> last friday, pg&e announced it released a $13.5 billion settlement agreement with wildfire victims. the deal would solve claims made against the utility by victims of the 20 17th northbay wildfires, last year's campfires, and other recent blazes. it also launched a turning point in pg&e'

and i think, again, this is an area where i think there is a lot of common ground and i agree with richard in the sense that we shouldn't have rushed in because we would've screwed up if we brushed it too quickly. >> the only thing i was going to add to it is we have no jurisdiction on the intelligence committee. everything i just talked about (laughs) >> well, thank goodness. >> that's the conundrum. we talked privately about the fact that (inaudible) the committee of technology of congress, we are the only ones that on a daily basis go to the intelligence that tells us what everybody else is doing and the committees that have the right telecoms policies in get involved in defense issues. they don't have what we have. they can't look at it. and it's very challenging. i will tell you it's the architecture of color, minutes not conducive to the 24 century. and you might look at academia and the challenge is conducive to the 24 century. what we generate now is the output for the economic opportunities that are there. government is never going to be under its current structure the institution

i think i'll just make this easy and second that motion. but i do personally want to work with alison, then, who would be in my motion with the mayor's office to get appointed because i think we need you both on this body. and so, i will be reaching out today to kanishka who is the staffer in the mayor's office to see if we can make that happen. because i believe we need all six of your expertise on this extremely important committee. and so with that, i'm happy to second that motion, which isn't necessary. if we can take it without objection, that motion passes. >> thank you. you want to confirm, miss williams in seat two, julie ledbetter to seat four, and to a in seat six. >> thank you so much. thank you. and mr. clerk, can you please read item number 4. >> item 4, appointing two members term ending september 6, 2024. >> thank you so much. and i wanted to see injeffrey morris and eugene bia are here today. good morning. >> i'm jeff morris and it's always interesting to learn about other important issues before the city and i'm here to seek

i think the legendary figure. the likes of pele mara donna and i was fortunate to co-found in 2013 to nash. really and today for peace is the forefront of using the influence of global football to highlight the most pressing issues we face around the world today in the u.k. you've been involved particularly in tackling knife crime and gang violence yeah that's right i think you know social harms in all forms and i really believe that was a great healer both preventative reconsolidation and really advocating in the u.k. the football can be used as a real tool to bring communities together in divided times it's been described not by you of so but by others as being at the forefront of the global war against extremism. which certainly sounds pretty ambitious you've mentioned some of the high profile celebrity and political backers you've taken this to the pope understand yeah i mean my personal mission isn't against extremism on terrorism i think football is advocating for everything that we're facing in the planet wh

to the moment so i think we need to deliver on the national health service and i think it's important that we ensure default power to the street it's just the 1st time. no new year soften the majority in northern ireland and i think we're going to have to ensure that we can get the devolved executive working again i think it's particularly important that we fight hard for the union. we're not friends with their result means that every household mandates to move forward in scotland so we can and have. the time the sessler end of course fully. sooner rather than later. say the situation is distributed absolutely. you know spain has. to choose recognize it or soulful suresh raina dominated barcelona catalonia we really do need to resort to you know of surveillance or access. to. people be improved a position where shifts which is not respect in the democrats in mind we'll be having discussions over the weekend and into next week. welcome back to the 1st half we heard from revenue makers from an oxford university is danny dorling now progress of veteran labor m.p. kate hoey who decided en

i think facebook and google will fully participate in that. don't buy the idea that there's going to be -- i know the company said it. i don't buy the idea that there is going to be a dramatic deceleration in the revenue growth the last thing is this is a major investment year. dramatic increase in capex and opex you're starting to see a mellowing for next year. you have a positive free cash flow inflection point. that's why we like facebook. >> mark, uber, you make the indica case it is unloved and friction in terms of the business model facebook trading at a historic low. alphabet broadly loved everybody embracing the story there. now trading at a good premium. what is the case flight for new mine >> yeah. so michael, i think what could be the surprise, google comes on the expenses look, google's revenue growth has been extraordinarily consistent i think we're 39 straight quarters of 20% revenue growth so that's not what's been the surprise up or down on the stock. it's really been the margins and the expenses two things i'm keeping track of

how i me just wrap up think about this. the way i look at this is we agreement and de added some constructive features, taken largely from slapped on then we an expiration date. we imposed costly new estrictions on a trading partner. we eliminated the settlement dispute mechanism for investors. intellectual property, the most innovative new medicines and gave a big labor in a nized process designed to allow protectionists to impose new road.ctions down the we'll get little or no extra economic growth out of it. hit. a modest so it shouldn't be terribly speaker pelosi, a lifetime protectionist and other protectionists in congress were striking the football that the afl-cio has endorsed this deal. decades that they have enendorsed a -- endorsed a trade deal. this will probably pass by a big margin in both houses. just want to stress this should not be a template for further future agreements. this should not be the way we approach trade in the future. we should not be looking to restrict trade. looking to expand trade. thank y

so i don't, i don't think that it's window dressing, but i do think it's a slower process than has beenr or so. >> isn't part of the problem xi jinping and is it clear that his attitude toward state-owned enterprises, to intellectual property, to all the things that we're so concerned about when it comes to structural reforms -- there is no indication to me he actually believes in those things and so to your point about implementation, i'm not convinced anything happens until whatever happens after xi jinping finally happens. >> well, i don't have a direct answer to his state of mind about this, but what i will say is that it's in china's interest to move forward on these issues. it's not just in the u.s.'s interest for china to move forward on these issues. and they want to encourage, over time, foreign investment in china to provide greater security to foreign investment so that foreign investment is treated more like domestic investment and so i expect that it's a long process. it's a process where we're going to have to measure progress in increments but that the long view is that r

i think. experts understand that that is that is unreachable that is beyond reach so what are they doing it's the main problem is inside the democratic party who is a power new socialists or the old liberal establishment that's that's the point that's the that's the that's the name of the fight you just mentioned president obama and he has been surprisingly absent from all of this i mean i would never see him on television to be never see him criticizing donald trump as some of his. body piers you know that there were some indirect statements about impropriety of propriety of certain gestures but overall he is he seems to be out of politics do you think that's the case how much influence do you think he still has within the democratic party i think he has enough influence. least that's that's the one of the reasons why she's he's so quiet because. if he if he says something in favor of the candidates that will be that will be a bombshell but the he speaks so some closed events lately some news

>> i think what u.s. officials have done is very carefully calibrated their response to mirror what iran is doing. iran has been using proxies, now the u.s. is hitting those proxies. i think the last thing it wants to do is hit iran directly, so this is a careful ratcheting up of the conflict, so the next thing to watch for is whether those iraqi militant groups going to do? are they going to try to attack u.s. forces again, which would require response. >> kimberly dozier breaking it down for us on the situation in iraq and iran. thank you so much. >>> coming up, a renewed call to testify, senate minority leader chuck schumer says new information about mick mulvaney and john bolton are a game changer when it comes to the hold up of aid to ukraine. can democrats and republicans reach a compromise? >>> plus, chilling new details about the man accused of stabbing five jews at a hanukkah celebration. the latest on the investigation when we come back. what'd we decide on the flyers again? uh, "fifteen minutes

i think properly understood to me means looking at what it is and not what it isn't. what it is is an expression of the thinking about individual committee members, about appropriate monetary policy and the path of the economy. remember that we write all that down and we send it in, and it gets compiled but we don't discuss it at the meeting and we don't negotiate -- there's no agreement, there's no plan. i think particularly at inflection points, it's hard to convey the reality, which is that policy's always going to depend on the economic outlook and changes in the economic outlook and when the economic outlook is changing, the dots are just not a consideration. we are going to do what we think is the right thing for the economy, and if the dots we did six months ago or three months ago don't agree with that, that's not even in the conversation. so it's more -- but it can be useful and i think -- but as i said, it's been a challenge. so i do -- i do like to say if you focus too much on the dots, you can miss the broader picture. reporter: chairman powell, many people

so, i think i have a different message. four early primary states where i've been concentrating, in fact, it is working. >> so you think it's getting through. what about the article which also talks about mike bloomberg, who has spent about $120 million or so in the three weeks since he's joined the race? what do you make of that? >> look, i hold mike to the exact same standards that i hold everybody else, which is message. and i've said before he got into the race and since he's been in the race that if mike bloomberg wants to represent the democratic party, then he has to embrace a wealth tax. i proposed a wealth tax over a year ago, long before i thought about running for president, because i know that the inequality in our system in terms of income and wealth is so egregious, so unjust, so un-american, that we have to redress it, and particularly for somebody like mike bloomberg or me, who's been so fortunate in america, we have to be -- if we want to represent the democratic party, he should be embracing a wealth tax t

i don't think that is likely. i don't think the speaker has the right or the power to do this.he speaker has a lot of power but once the house is spoken, the speaker doesn't get the decision as to whether or not she transmits that decision to the senate in my view. i think we'll have this all handled by the time we get back in january. i'm sure everybody is beginning to figure out how to present their case. frankly, i think it is a mistake on the speaker's part. i think it is pretty political any way. and this is sort of the icing on the political cake. where at the end the speaker still can't let go of this as an issue to try to wring the last vestage of politicals out of it. the outcome here is virtually certain as i've been saying dfo weeks. a partisan vote in the house would certainly result in a partisan vote in the senate so that the outcome is certain. trying to get the last thing out of it rather than move on as the speaker appeared to want to do one day last week and then suddenly she decides to involve herself in what the senate should do. >> so you say the outcome is

i don't think it works overseas, but i don't think anything this year will really change the attitudeconomy at all. jack: and one thing you.to is the fact that it's the fear that rates will be going up that will drive people to spend stuff. >> that's right simmons among relatively low but people think it's going up. i should borrow that money now. i should sell my house now. i should sell my house now i should take advantage of low rates. they say don't worry, each of breath for breakfast it'll be low forever more. so. jack: maybe we don't have enough drive powered or when this next recession hits to stimulate enough. but it sells i should not be staying up at night crying about it. >> i think with military and physical stimulus being applied to the u.s. economy over the years that i'm not too worried that this army is can run out of ammunition. but also we should have a faith in the american economy. every day 325 million americans, they get up they want to work more hours, they want to spend more hours, they want to get ahead. growth is the normal situation for an economy not stagna

i think it is a certain piece that is captured. i would also think beyond the secret nature, , it's highly technical. your limited staff, principles who are torn in a lot of different directions. intelligence up on it responsibly. the incentive structures not set up to make them want to delve deeply into technical and controversial issues but i think i want to introduce the concept of an importance of emerging technology because one could argue you could understand covert operation that involved operators. can you understand how satellite works? do you have the people who can do that? can explained? you have the time to understand? technology is increasingly complicating the overall picture. >> and there's the matter of reelection incentives. no one wins reelection because they are a great overseer of intelligence. >> often comes down to your constituents. >> its off-camera. to the extent that oversight meetings are functional for elections because of their conducted in public but these are not. >> want to wait in on -- congress is

here but i think we'll end on this very pessimistic note as i think u.s. russia relations have been spoiled for at least a generation so i don't even think we have to look at incremental changes are gentlemen that's all the time we have here many many many thanks my guest here in moscow and in london and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t. see you next time and remember those. are all those driven by. those great. dares thinks. we dare to ask. i had a spiritual experience. and i had the little girl that died in the fire sent their columns. to say find their words that. were looking for a reaching. off 54 years old spent 21 years on good role model. of crime i didn't commit. violence to that it was innocent doesn't read the list that nobody does. now and the. trial was pretty much a farce. they are having a guilty plea for that. nobody. not people are little. approved of jimmy hasn't forgiven himself for something. i knew she was there and i knew exactly what i was doing. people life. and sometimes there's no explanation. dream agreed to pretty m

i think it has something to do with this psychological feeling of a cult. thing i can think the republican party has become, the trump cult. and it's not the republican party that we served in. it's different. and the people who identify themselves who are not office holders that think it's the old republican party, it's not. it's the trump party, and you can leave it. i have left it, david has left it and, you know, it's okay. because just because you were at one time a republican doesn't mean that this is the party for you today. >> david jolly, we have this breaking news of the night just when you -- the house of representatives goes out there and makes history. nancy pelosi makes history by in 85 days leading them to an impeachment vote on two articles of impeachment and then after that creates breaking news by saying i'm not answering the question about when and how we are sending these articles to the senate, leaving open what is cleary some kind of an attempt by the speaker of the house to negotiate terms of a senate trial with the senate majority lea

i think the president is looking very strong. one thing i am seeing now is that when he was running the last time, he was a successful businessman who said i'm going to give it a shot and people said all kinds of terrible things about him and predicted if he was elected president the world would end and the economy would crash, and he's got elected, he's kept all of his promises and every morning the sunrises and the sun sets and the market is up 50% and a lot of good things are happening. the people who voted for him love him, they feel like things like impeachment and the mueller investigation, those are a tax on them. the people in washington, we think we know better than that, trying to say they were wrong to vote the way they did. but the mexican president, when i sat with him the first time, i realized his election was very similar to ours. it wasn't about right versus left, it was about inside versus outside. they're saying that they don't believe washington is working for us and we want somebody who's going to fight for us

don't think it's a matter of loyalty i mean i think live there i think there are many republicans who will tell you publicly that the president probably conducted himself in a manner that was not necessarily what people would be ideal for the present united states that it was probably improper and some of the interactions but the end the day when you're talking about facts if you're going to overturn the will of the people if you're going to say that we now are going to say that the $16000000.00 votes cast no longer matter then you have to have concrete facts the facts are the democrats did not call any fact based witnesses who said that the president withheld dirt and withheld money in exchange for dirt that just didn't happen and they can say that the people who know weren't permitted to show up but the remedy for that is to go to the courts and again so that i think that you know democrats want to have it both ways and ultimately again you can say that republicans have been lower to the president but i think also it would be disingenuous of us to pret

i think it's dodging the issue. 't know howells to put it. >> i'm assuming everyone from another debate, that's the main issue. this is crazy. if i was one of the candidates, i would've seized the opportunity to sit down with the union as well as the employer to try to broker a deal, why, whether you're successful or not, just the optic of bringing both sites to the table and saying we need to respect the employer's autonomy but as well as the employee's rights. they missed a huge opportunity. >> i think you said that more articulately than i did, i think it's about the issue and these people standing on the stage and being a part of it, if that's what they say they're doing the advocating for workers so do that ensure your stuff. >> i am totally okay with not seeing and hearing another democratic debate right now. when i tuned in late at night it was either bashing president trump or bragging rights. that's what even the republican side would do if they were having a debate. bash the current president and then brag

i just don't think that most people who have a day job and are not sitting in front of their machine all day, there's just no reason they can do that. >> i agree >> what i'm wondering, call me when there's a deal. otherwise, the economy is good, consumer and strong and market is going up. >> but i'm in front of my machine all day. let me give you a couple of examples i bought this morning -- i wasn't focused on the employment number, but i added to baba and united rental and federal express. fedex got up to 160 and traded down to 150. i think 160 is cheap for the company, so why shouldn't i buy it i'll sell the positions before the end of today because who knows what he'll tweet about i'll keep my core positions. >> it's a great lesson in what we've talked about all year. if you pay attention to every tweet and you pay attention to every market move as a result of a tweet or a comment, you miss the bigger picture, the forest through the trees that the economy is good. >> agreed. i'm just saying that if you are a professional and if you have a sense for things, if you have a valuation

but i don't think there's any question. i mean, we've seen already what the new york state attorney general has done with regard to trump's corruption with his charity that he used as a personal political piggybank. >> right. >> and he has now had to fork over a substantial fine. he's had to close the charity. and he can't open another one. and by the way, his children served on the board. so this is another instance in which also the family's implicated. but this is the president who brought litigation saying that there could be no criminal investigation of a sitting president. >> yes. >> that is an astounding, astounding assertion. >> and to your point, right, that is a -- those are both -- that's a state a.g. who ha closed down the foundation. it's a manhattan d.a. who is going to be for the supreme court. i think also part of what happens here, right, and this is a point -- not a novel point, the sum total of news and scandal adds up. we're doing this year-end show. people play this game all the time and it can be lame b

i might think we should or i nla might think we shouldn't, but i might think we should but i certainly would say there is a problem, but once we say the fourth amendment is there, in d just the same way it is two feetl proble on the other side, at that point what's the special problem of giving a damages remedy to a mexican youth just as you would give itt to an american youth, whether that american youth is over on one side of the border or the other? that's where -- that's -- at that point i hesitate, i say, well, that's what we're supposed to find here under the statute and what is it? if th >> assuming verdugo did not foreclose that then there would not be a difference. >> well, if there's no difference then that's the end of it, isn't it, because kenned says, look, he says, you've gota to find -- he is notct talking about the fourth amendment. he's actually not even thinkingw about that possibly.0th am i don't know. or thinking about sixth amendment, eighth, tenth amendment, i don't know. but assuming he is, once we're . there the fourth amendment really does of aapply. you say yo

if i implied it wasjust online i didn't mean that. but why do you thinkn the rise together? i suppose that in terms of anti—semitism and anti—muslim hate, as well, there's a problem for minority communities across the world that they are often persecuted by a majority who may be riled by other things going in society. certainly forjewish people, it's been the case drug jewish people's history that they have been a useful scapegoat, whether in medieval times, whether for religious reasons, whether during the early 20th century whether or nazis concentrated on quasi—scientific ideas of purity and racial ideas, whether it's now, even, whenjews and thejewish state in particular are often targeted for perceived human rights abuses to an extent that is far beyond, let's say, what might be looked at elsewhere. look, for example, china, uighur muslims, perhaps 1 million of them being held in camps, forced eat pork and eat and drink alcohol during ramadan, these people are getting very little attention on the world stage. and this is also something that needs to b

i think he was quoted incorrectly. i do believe that because i'm hearing the report is very powerful. but i'm hearing that by reading lots of different things. not from inside information but outside information. i think all we have to do is wait. is it going to be released on monday, monday or so. i think we have to read it and we have to see it. but i hear there's a lot of devastating things in that report. but we'll see what happens. we have a few days to wait. we have been waiting a long time. i do think the big report to wait for is going to be the during ham report. that's the -- durham report. that's the one that people are waiting for. he's highly respected. he's worked very hard. he's worked long hours, i can tell you, and gone all over the world. so we'll see. but the durham report is very important. people are really looking forward to. but this is a very important report. the i.g. report is a very important report. if what i read is correct -- i read it in your newspaper. if what i read is correct, that woul

i think there is. i don't think they should be deterred by anything he said yesterday. argument there's not enough or they haven't dwelled on it long enough. >> i'm curious about that, elie. why couldn't they have subpoenaed giuliani and bolton and mulvaney and i understand not wait for the entire court system to play out. but just do it to take away that argument in. >> i agree with you. i think in an ideal world with unlimited resources, you would do both. have the hearings and be in court fighting for all those witnesses. i think they've made just a tactical decision. they don't want to divert resources and attention into court battles. we have enough with the call, with the taylors, the vindmans, fiona hill. that's just a tactical decision they made. >> joe, the cnn reporting is that nancy pelosi held a meeting with the caucus yesterday. she walks in and says, are you ready. and the response was yes. there was a roar then. from a political standpoint, what are you hearing now from democrats about what house democrats people connected to this directly, what they want

holtzman: well, i think in a way everybody was on the fence. none of us i believe had ever studied what impeachment meant in law school. and by the way, i think when i was on the house judiciary committee, all the members of the committee were lawyers. we didn't study the impeachment clause. nobody knew what a high crime and misdemeanor was. nobody had studied the standards. so while we might disagree with certain policies of the president, disagreeing with policies, is that enough to warrant impeachment? i don't think so. but that was something we had to understand. so i don't know that you can say that people came to this believing that president nixon should be impeached. i know father dryden offered the resolution with regard to cambodia. the facts were pretty clear with regard to cambodia. although future investigation should have been done, it never was done by the committee. but basically, we all had to immerse ourselves in the evidence. we didn't know all the details. of what happened with richard kleindienst and the president. the detai
