andy: i think that's spot on when it comes to inflation. ink they will let it ride and i think people's expectations have become so benign in recent years that inflation is not really the problem, they are focusing on growth or any challenge to the growth outlook, their focus on the others, hiking rates to defend against inflation. the kind of know they can control it. jonathan: does that keep a lid on 10 year treasuries at 2% or lower? andy: not necessarily lower than 2%, but in the 2% area. we could get toward 2.25%. this time of year, you look at the alix for 2020 and lots of people are predicting rates much higher. i think they are looking for volatility where it doesn't exist. i think the rate environment will be denying -- the benign and credit is where the problems are. jonathan: looking at the bloomberg terminal, year in, 119 three. 120,ook for numbers around 125. where you come down? think it's range bound at some 2%. but the way i think about it and the way we think about it, the world can handle higher rates. 2018, what we learned

i think for me what i look back on where the intelligence community has been on this topic, i think it is important to note that we have worked counterintelligence threats, cyber threats, and have provided regional expertise and have studied our adversaries obviously well before 2016. yet, i think as many of you have heard me say before, 2016 was a watershed moment in that the intelligence community had very specific information that was relevant and very important to this other domestic enterprise that was burgeoning and sort of growing in real time. so at that point, we certainly look back, which resulted in the 2017 intelligence community assessment that many of you are familiar with, as we declassified our findings. at that moment, i think there was introspection certainly under the leadership of dni coats to say what is next, and how do we recognize that not only election security with foreign imports operations as an integrated domain, not just work within the various different interdisciplinary areas that i just mentioned. but as you know, the dni was created out of the push of

well i think. as far as the iranians 'd are concern of course they have shown in inclination to be able to return to a situation where they can develop their country the country's in a very bad state it's not able to. provide for its own people so i think that is primarily what they want they want of course the preservation of the theocratic regime so those 2 things which are mutually supportive is i think where ron is coming from what i think the the americans want is very much more difficult to evaluate because during the bush administration in my opinion and it's only an opinion based on observation. u.s. foreign policy was hijacked by a small cabal of extremists who were influenced by external. interests now what we're seeing i believe is external interests countries outside america who have learnt to predict the unpredictability of president trump and i think they are now manipulating things so that they're getting what they want and that is maximum pressure on iran they want the arraignment r

i do think it matters here. i do think in fact there is always some issues revolving around race and gender. but i do not think that is the reason to say iowa should not play the role it plays. >> i had a huge argument with, >> i want to let dennis, >> i was going to say a version of what david said. in 2008, when we did the caucus book, i looked precisely at the issue. yes, iowa is not demographically representative of the country as a whole. however, looking at 2008, iowa democrats, though somewhat more dovish than democrats nationwide, pretty well track ed democrats nationwide in terms of what they thought the most important issues were. iowa republicans were moderately more pro-life than republicans nationwide. but they too pretty much tracked where republicans were nationwide. so demography is not necessarily destiny. >> david: i want to switch gears here in the time we have remaining. one of the things i want to talk about, we sort of handicapped the race and how we see that playing out this is a big field

gene: i think it was more subtle. nk that there was a page turn from this connected device, like john talked about. i absolutely agree with that. i think there was this progression in previous years, but more this year about the intelligence layer. a.i., machine learning, but i think there were some pointed examples of how not just a connected device, but a smart device like an oral-b toothbrush that senses if you're pushing too hard, and based on your age, could impact the health of your gums and your enamel on your teeth, things like that. so it's this next step forward. i think that was one piece. also caught my attention, i think we're getting closer to foldable tech, foldable computers, foldable phones. lastly, wearables. even though that's been around a long time, i feel like that's continuing to move from a small percentage of people to eventually it's going to be on everyone's wrist. taylor: john, i'm reading through your note. amazon big and google talks integration. it made me think we're talking about being

>> yeah, i think so. i mean, part of the iranian strategy since may 2019 has been to obviously raise the cost of the maximum pressure campaign for the united states. but part of it has also been to drag other parties into this tension, because what had happened since essentially the beginning of this administration was that the united states was imposing costs on iran and iran was the only one that was suffering, essentially, right? and the europeans of course were upset but, you know, it wasn't really affecting them that much. the gulf arabs were not unhappy, some of them. oman, qatar, being outliers, but the saudis, the emirates were not unhappy. they had pushed for this sort of policy for a while. i think where the iranians have been quite sufficiently ovccess past few of months is to show that this this going to have implications for the region. that's what we're saying, that's what jake was describing earlier on, now we're seeing them actually try to take action and try to return to the table. the ira

i don't think i could get onboard in terms of valuation. understand for trade that may be and the momentum might be there to do it. >> kudos to steve who dan nathan as well process. i say stay with snap user base like the take. photographs which is why snap does well. bernstein initiated $20 price target jeff jeffers a couple week ago i like it. >> you took the themes of the night made it relevant to the fast pitch everything coming together cost mick the desk has spoken. folks, now it's your turn. are you buying grasso's pitch on snap vote in our poll at cnbc "fast money. the results revealed later in the show up next. it's just snap chinese internet stocks are on fire why? later we hit them all. you might be able to find -- might be able to find deep discounts and rough details today. stick with us "fast money" in two. can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow dad, do you think you overdid it maybe? i don't think so... what do you think, peanut? nope! honey, do you think we overdid it? overdid what? see? we don't thi

so you know but i think i think i think the sides are going to let that play out and see where it goes and then maybe china will take a more active approach but i think clearly from the chinese perspective this type of activity this assassination is is really a clear reminder of the type of foreign policy that china pours we just saw the joint naval drills with china looking inside russia and france just today you know an improvement in relations closer relations seen those countries does the assassination of the iranian general effect in any way with china may be. further strengthening relations with iran or maybe pull back because of it. to be honest with you i think that you know all 3 capitals will probably think a little more carefully about the optics of it and how much publicity they push. but i think there are 2 major things to consider and i don't think they're directly related is on the money at all the 1st is the extent to which these exercises correlate with the mob are the us and all of our exercises of japan and india as well as the simple fact that these types of exercis

a better candidate i think joe biden is actually a nice guy i've met him i think from a candid sand point 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 a conflict of interest why not just say you know what that is a stone cold conflict of interest and joe biden's not being honest let's talk about it and let's talk about everything else in their own context but the democrats they're back is against the wall they're get 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 it should be verifiable, and i think it has to involve sanctions relief, and i think though otherspects of iranian behavior and the region should be dealt with other ways. i don't think it is realistic to build a quote on quote grand bargain that would resolve all of our concerns in iran. in my experience, all or nothing diplomacy tends to yield nothing. omar: i appreciate that answer. and so to you and the rest of the panel, i am wondering why would iran after we unilaterally left the jcpoa, assassinated soleimani, and destroyed their economy with our sanctions, and threaten to bomb their cultural sites, why would they be willing to enter a better deal with us at this moment? >> the reason they might is, as you know, governing is about choices. the economic sanctions are having a significant toll, they could conceivably threaten the viability of the government and the revolution. i would think that if iran is offered significant sanctions relief, that may be something they could account. they say they don't want nuclear weapons, so they ought not to change that. so i think the qu

so i think the sentiment is really down and i think a lot of the bat news is in it. >> i disagree with this call stephanie brings up catch. you think about boeing and the potential for a cash crunch. they had to access the debt market they were able to do an offering 90 basis points higher look at where treasuries are now. on easily at a single-a-minus credit status. i think the debt community would clamor, so i'm not necessarily sure why we're having such a cash conversation when they have the ability to solve whatever short-term funding needs they would have $300 does not make sense to me. >> i don't own boeing yet. how do you not think about in the base that is basically a deoply joe is right they have great access to cash i think you're a -- >> what if i told you -- i mean, i don't think it's unreasonable to suggest when the max comes back people are not going to wants to fly it. >> so you'll have that -- you'll have some hesitation out of the gates, but i'm on airplanes way too frequently, probably -- >> i don't know how often you look at the equipment that the airline is using, b

>> i think they can do if you want to keep increasing deficit which i think they will end up doing. l talk about that a little bit but would talk about the box. they had the best record this year. what's the secret for that success? i know you have an extraordinary guy, the greek free you call him, what is the secret? >> i think part of the secrets, and we have the best record so far, is before me game i sorta give a pep talk and that seems to be working. [laughter] always have to do guises score. i think what it is is everybody the team knows their roles. there are exceptional players. we have a team that knows exactly what they're supposed to do. everybody knows their roles. the coach is phenomenal. there are moments in time when everything comes together. i think we have that this year. last year we were in the eastern conference finals. this sure what we really want to do is get to the nba finals. gerry: canyon when this whole season? >> i think were good to do it. gerry: we heard it here first. thank you very much for joining us. just ahead why president tromp with that iran is

you know i think i think here you know. like like the guessing that so you risk you mention these what kind of role the u.s. is willing to play and the mixed signals that we the region has received from the u.s. not only since the tramp and the station but i think it started much earlier in which he for whom. their commitment to their allies the office of the beaches their approach to iraq would use mixed signals i think has created these very unstable and violent and if it were to get into any fighting configuration between the power so i mean do you mean mainstay to how the u.s. and whether the u.s. would be really to play a more central role or we've as i think the best way to get out but you know i would sit in that you know was it a productive way of the region but trying to get out when things are not be lies and the regional powers are not yet on their feet i think is extremely don't so i think what we're saving saying there and can join greenberg is that the u.s. has to become a stabilizing and an enabling force doe

we have the wrong name for the problem well i don't think i think yeah i think it's actually the right goal to find regulatory i think it is to write me because that's what people are saying ok as a juxtaposition to socialism so i think that's important here in a pie let me go back to you i mean one of the most important thing here we had to get to keep moving here apply you know the consumption is the most important part to be economic growth right now but if that is under strain it is under strain i mean the number of people that have low paying jobs now is extraordinary and the savings level is negligible a shock can really hurt tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of people and it seems to me that if you're not concerned about people's consumption because that is the golden goose that lays the egg here that drives the. kami shouldn't we be looking more at families and keeping families together and speaking as a conservative it seems to me that makes much more sense because this whole financial ization of the economy just makes the rich super super rich which is just fine wi

i think murder giuliani i mean look the evidence that's been put forward actually vindicate him in this effort to be exculpatory you take a look at the left part miscommunications or rudy is telling presidents linsky communicate a message to president alinsky to quit being a boy be a man go and split your ties with the oligarchs and crack down on corruption so i think the evidence is actually good for steve jenner so my point that i think that we have to get to the bottom of these foreign policy disagreements that if a president is elected the united states they should have people around them who grew with their world view what they're trying to do but all the evidence all the lieutenant colonel been whistleblower and whistleblower to they've all disappeared and now it's simply about process which i thought house democrats didn't care about process richard if i may 2 things 1st if the whistle blew blow or fell off the face of the earth and every word that whistleblower wrote disappeared it would have does erode bearing on what the house did and what the senate trial should entail. we al

i don't think iran actually really wants to strike back i think they're worried about the same sions i think that this is all really about the economy and i think president trump has learned that's really where the real war is is being able to take their economy and they're feeling that so i don't think iran actually wants to strike back i think they want to do 2 things save face and avoid sanctions ok ali let's go to you in sydney here what has been accomplished here i mean professor marandi did bring up a good point is that actually iran was able to show its strategic flexibility and strengths within the region here that is a very strong message and they launch the missiles from iran it wasn't from a proxy so they were actually sending a very clear signal and it is the signal is it's time for foreign military to leave the middle east go ahead ali and sit me. yeah before i answer the question just how me to respond to what your previous guest said iran wants to avoid sanctions imposed was a priority for iraq i think that iraq would have went to edit made a deal with a drunken

i think it's a great stock i want to point out what jim said i think jpmorgan has done a great job on management business and goldman sachs with the recent purchase of united captain being able to expand the reach of their wealth management business, i actually think that could afford greater upside despite the fact jpmorgan is sophisticated silver going to be the highest quality stock in that particular basket. >> i just don't think you can really at this point, other than public persona distinguish between brian monahan and jamie dimon in terms of excellence of running a back they are both excellent. to me bank of america is dark horse without that high visibility jpmorgan has. >> you go back ten years ago banks routinely traded 1.4, 1.6 times book i'm not talking about jpmorgan going into deluge just straight money center banks i look at stock value and say this is 40% under value. >> particularly you point out non-u.s. markets. >> i think that's why you can make the argument about regionals versus large banks so much greater tied to the yield curve. i think that's why you're seein

has been kind of a soft war sometimes hard war with iran since one. 179 and i think what this attack does is say look you know i'm unpredictable from tribes perspective you know you think you know what i'm going to do but you don't and you know some people said it's the sort of i'm crazy or the new strategy and i think that that has restored a sense of ok you know there are red lines and the red line was always going to be the killing of an american which happened in the lead up to this attack and the siege of the u.s. embassy in iraq by iranian proxies and that i think reminded a lot of people in washington probably trump certainly who's of a generation that remembers you know the taking of the u.s. embassy in toronto so i think this is all kind of led us to this to this point. if we stay with the idea of order and disorder isn't predictability a very crucial aspect of order and do you see any clear predictable strategy from the u.s. side here in the actions if we if we look back over all the different events that matthews just listed. no i don't i think. just like a theory and insid

i think it trades somewhere around a 30 pe again, i mentioned to me that is one that is interesting. amd, it was up 150% i believe last year on a valuation basis and i don't pay much attention tole have a agts, bvaluation, b >> apple is maybe where the conversation should begin and maybe end. stock crosses 310, all-time high it has been an unstoppable freight train the last year. and here we have price targets now at 350 it just is representative of how a narrative has changed about the entire market where stocks that have already done incredibly well that are widely held and even have -- i don't want to say questionable fundamentals, but declining earnings fundamentals. okay and are still perceived to have that much runway in front of them >> look at this one, judge you saw no doubt this morning that they said between christmas and new year's, apple did $1.4 billion in the app store thousand, offer xwrbviously it e costs some money to run that app store, but they take a nice slice of everything bought just in one single day, new year's day, people took down $388 million worth of stu

so i think parnas makes sense. d it interesting that all of these are trump friends, all of them, many of them appointed by trump and he does, the president doesn't want these people to testify? and they were in the room and parnas is also an ally and parnas obviously -- >> he's got a lot of documents, some of which seem like they would very much benefit democrats, but some republicans even alan dershowitz has basically said, have lev parnas on, this is a complicated witness, a way you can understate it and could actually backfire on democrats. what would you want to know from him? >> well, i don't think the right analysis doesn't backfire. the analysis should be, who is going to bring new information to the trial? who is going to shed light in the dark corners of what happened? who was in the room? who had first-hand information? if it backfires and it shows the president is innocent, then that's what happens in trials. we, i go into this unlike mcconnell and graham, i go in, lindsey graham and leader mcconnell, i

i don't think so i mean k. street is full of people who make their living off of sort of influence and connections and so that's sort of what the problem is and the problem with democracy is the whole of the concept that we want to hold out that we have is one person one vote and when you only get to vote for the person who is put before you by a corporation who has no vote then your vote really doesn't matter that much right because you're sort of limited to this pool of people who are sort of protecting the interest of that specific cohort so that's really the problem with it all and it sort of say all of a sudden when you look at the senate and everybody's a millionaire in the door and you go to the house and everybody's on their way there so that sort of a floor that says you're not going to have that big of a change i think the president has been president has been set so i agree with alan that it's almost too late and the case tree is full of just people trying to lobby these politicians one way or anothe

i think you would understand now the constitutional committee i look at it as a milestone. very long process and bring about a peaceful peaceful and political settlement in syria. it is something that we've been working for as you know for some time i've said it before no suit again i think we could have had it earlier it will help syrians you know go to the opposition but also independents to put their minds together and work out. a new constitutional framework you know i think you know. i'm sure you know that there have been a number of internationally mediated efforts to resolve this conflict since 2011 and some of them failed because of the breakout citron of the syrian actors many a well at least some of them because of the positions of foreign powers what has changed on the ground to give you this faint hope that you just articulated though you know it may lead to something beyond talks well 1st of all i mean you refer to the situation around the world the war is certainly warranted and i think people are tired in syria and beyond and i think this is. a mechanism that

i don't think that we're aiming for and i don't think we want to be in the business of regime changeide of iran. we haven't done it very well in the region over the past couple of decades, but, however, if it is an organic change of the regime by the iranian people themselves, that's a different story. >> general, are you looking at this opportunity for iran to take revenge or strike back as a short-term threat, a medium-term threat can you give me a timeline on where you would see that the united states and perhaps other allies have got to harden their facilities and keep an eye out >> yes, i think it is an immediate threat the u.s. embassy in iraq has already put out a statement that says all americans need to leave iraq as quickly as possible, either through the airport or over land. i would expect a near-term response from the militias inside of iraq who have seen their leader get killed, and then maybe a mid-term attack from the iranian country proper. >> and obviously -- i mean current, you know, u.s. military leaders must also anticipate something like this. >> yes. >> do you

if we're i think i think we'll have a deal before. i think so they have to do the i don't want to look i'm not saying it from strength or from weakness i'm just saying they have to do it they wanted to make a deal this our nation our country wanted to make a deal under president obama the e.u. refused to talk to him and then they said no no you like it the way it is of course they like it the way it is they're making $150000000000.00 plus right. and as you know president bush was desperate to make a deal that would even talk to me the talk into and we'll have a deal if we don't have a deal will do even better president is it true that you're considering extending the travel day and if the u.s. countries so have a travel ban it's a very powerful ban. and a lot of hurt or.

but i do think the d.n.c. would rather lose to trump than have an actual progressive in the white house because that threatens their gravy train you know it threatens the gravy train of the d.n.c. it threatens the gravy train of the d. triple c. . i think that they know what the base wants it's very apparent where the base is versus where the establishment as and i think they don't really care i think that they've proven over the years that winning is not their 1st priority winning is maybe about their 3rd priority their 1st priority is let's make sure the donors are happy and then after that in a distant 2nd or 3rd is maybe will beat a republican or 2 but if not as long as the gravy train keeps rolling we're fine ok i'm going to finish off with joe 40 seconds joe do you think the in the in c.n.n. is going to ever apologize for its appalling behavior. well is that unless it's you know rhetorical day i don't know quite how to answer that you know we had fredo who you referred to earlier actually called martha m

but i think you could see more red in the tape as thing develop over time. >> before i get to steve i want to bear down on your discussion of the global economy. what we did see i believe it was this morning was european economic numbers were soggier than many expected italy and france actually in contraction. the chicago pmi here was the weakest it has been since december of 2015 and there are other signs that economies may be a little bit more worrisome than we thought what oou do you say about that >> consumer sentiment also came out this morning and that was better than expected. >> fair point. >> you are seeing mixed economic data but the best economic data around the world right now still is within the u.s. i think for right now investors might want to start considering taking advantage of this pullback as some of the emerging markets may be hit a little more significantly, at least near term. >> steve we have been putting money back in in a couple of selective cases. we will get to them in a minute. what is your overall thinking. >> i haven shaving some. not that i am trying to

be any american politics well i think we shouldn't really odd when i don't you think we all should strive for and i mean you know it's you know we there is a big deal will make news ok all right let me go to let me go to ron earth let me go to ron in los angeles here i mean. i think all of this to watch politics what we all know who bernie sanders is you know he's a pretty consistent guy i'm a good. i don't agree with him on most things obviously but it seems to me that he's being treated unfairly in a procedural way and the democratic party is treating him in a bad way like they did in 2016 and he is a consistently been a socialist ok for lack of a better term all right can you say the same thing about elizabeth warren is this an authentic position she has because if we look at her lineage and her life story obama way the new york times says she's a great storyteller i couldn't believe that almost fell out of my chair actually tell stories go ahead ron. yeah well 1st of all i want to just respond to something else from a little prior i don't usually like to speak in support. but here's a

and i think that the answer is yes. ecause if you accept the premise >> justice gorsuch: in terms of what you're agreeing with justice alito, i want to press you a little bit further. let's say a state court decision could be consistent with the constitution or not consistent with the constitution, right? the outcome may or may not be. if the decision rests on an erroneous interpretation of federal law and remedying that error could provide relief, we have a case, don't we? >> i mean, in principle, if we assume there's an error of federal law. >> justice gorsuch: yes. assuming there's an error of federal in federal law and that remedying it here might provide relief to plaintiffs, we have a case. >> i think that, yes, as a general matter, at a high level of generality, if petitioners identify an error of federal law in a lower court decision, i think the court can adjudicate the error federally. >> justice gorsuch: okay. so the question really becomes do we have an error of federal law here? >> justice kavanaugh: suppose

i think that -- i think earlier in the week, i think they felt that -- this is me inferring from what we saw. i think they thought that their backs were against the wall once bolton came out and actually said that what's been alleged in article i is actually true. so they had to figure out, okay, well, what can we do now? and they basically convinced someone like lamar alexander that even if it's true, it's not impeachable. and that is deeply distressing. as adam schiff mentioned today, you know, last time when bob mueller came in and testified before our intelligence committee, the very next day the president began this particular scheme with regard to ukraine. what's going to happen next? we don't know, but what we do know is that there is an election coming up, and if there was nothing before that convinced voters that it's important to come to the polls with regard to the next president and in the case of many of these senators, the next store of these states where the senators denied evidence from coming to the consideration of the senate, i think this episode should illustrate w

and i don't think anything good will come of it. which i can tell you for a pessimistic or optimistic there are so many conferences in russia for instance but that one needed no results. so some pretty guarded answers there speaking of expectation management mikko what are you hearing from people in libya you report regularly from there what are they saying. libya is in the same conflict as it was in 2011 when people went on the streets in the east and tripoli not only be against gaddafi but also for the let's say just distribution of wealth of money africa's richest country and nothing much changed since then and europe looked away for a long time that at the end you have now let's say one group in tripoli controlling the n.o.c. the nation or a corporation the central bank deciding about the distribution of wealth that goes as well to the east but let's not forget most of the oil facilities in the east and that's what you see now that you have a closing of the oil parts and the east because. people really demand after the bill in co

>> i think only half of it. n tell you, we talked to institutional investors on a daily basis, many not believing in the 5g super cycle and i -- the upgrade cycle in terms of what is happening and think for i a company that is 12 to 16 times now breaking out in terms of where it is trading. there's still a lot of haters out there. i think that is what i like to see. you do not like to see everyone loving this, and they will continue over the coming quarters, not just iphones rock of gibraltar, but what they are doing on services. you get to 350 or north of that as we go into next year. taylor: what if 5g does not pan out? what is your estimate for that left side, downside, tail risk event? it is, what happens if 5g is a dud? that point, if you look at what is baked into numbers, it was 200 million units that lie in the sand. i think what is being baked in here is not overly bullish numbers in terms of the stream and that is what i love about the setup. and if it is a dud and you see some disappointment, you see s

so and i think you are. hit the nail on the head that the problem with democrats has been that pretty much since the clinton administration when he declared that the error of big government is over democrats have been unable to articulate what they're for for the most part republicans have been laser focused on their message get rid of government even if it comes to the detriment of some of their constituents in the heartland but you're starting to see candidates like bernie sanders like elizabeth warren that are out there reminding voters what positive rules for the public and positive rules for government can be and so i do think that young people are aware young people are also very aware of what's been going on in the tech space much more so than than people like me where they understand that that we sort of signed off rights but they had access to all these platforms but it is come at a normal cost there's almost a loss of innocence with young people because the tech companies control so much of their l

they are going so hard after sanders i think they see the polls they're doing their internal numbers they know that sanders is going to take this election and i also think they saw a rising star in andrew yang and i also think that they saw of clearheaded consciousness in tulsa gabbert yeah and so they're having all these people out of the way i can so i can praise more ok good and i'm a conservative but i think she speaks truth to power and i respect her a lot ok in just staying with you i'll tell you what the democrats hate they hate democracy they hate people getting involved in the process ok i know i'm no bernie bro ok no way but what they're doing to him is disgraceful what c.n.n. did to me is disgraceful ok this we're all on the same side in this respect your tom let me go to you being that this is really been a challenge to power and donors ok and they don't like it when i saw those 4 people discussing you know a heresy in ukraine 1st of all those 4 people had no idea what they were talking about and they were challenging the president to make policy that's what do you suppos

much meaning towards a constitutional committee i think that has changed i think they have come around to and that has influenced the syrian parties now a messenger i know that when it comes to syria you like quoting his own men they french political economist who used to say that to solve an intractable problem you need to change the context now apparently the context has been changed as you said but. there was also a big believer in coordinating diplomatic and military policy is among european nations particularly britain france and the united states he's even credited for shortening the 2nd world war through his coordination efforts do you think the syrian war would have been shortened a more specifically do you think the coordination among western powers on the syrian front did it ultimately how to prolong or to shorten the syrian conflict as you pointed out when there was basically talking about europe and we're talking you later oh he was advising them merican president as well but in the middle east it's it's not just the region it's beyond the region and beyond the region there

well i think that's right and i think the only thing that i think we haven't ever says enough is bernie's program is very popular with the people we mention health care well but he's also today's got a speech out about inane our endless wars in the subtitle is you know list stuff given the terrorist what they want and i think that is very popular in the climate issue i mean i'd like to see trump calls it a hoax with the democrats actors if it's a hoax except for bernie sanders is green new deal program is serious and i'm somebody who's been campaigning for this i 1st campaign in 2010 running for governor in new york or a green deal 1st candidate in this country to do so and you know bernie serious i think is a little slow we got some liberals on what to do well that and the climate movement knows that bernie sanders is the serious candidate among the democrats so i think dex is appeal and i don't worry since the early 1970 s. when he actually was a 3rd party candidate and i watched him uber mine and he's popular even with conservatives yes because they feel like he's for the people he sho

i think thank you i think that we need to sort of break this down a little bit i think on the technical side with the medical people this was a very fast response we found out about the market on the 31st of december in line with the chinese authorities shut down the market on the 1st on the 7th the genome was sequenced on the 8th it was confirmed as a coronavirus that's fairly quickly however i think that when we look at maybe at the local level measures could have been implemented a lot faster. but at the central level at least there's been significant concern and pressure from the chinese leadership that the policies to address these issues lessons that china has learnt sent sars be taken forward natalie right now in china there is an unprecedented lockdown of cities going on do you believe that this will actually minimize the risk of the virus spreading. so i think that's a difficult question because essentially we've never locks down an entire city before to see how well we can contain an outbreak it depends on the population that you are dealing with often because the primary unde

i think you need a small group of believers. >> you do. what i haves her in about called "special forces your corn of don't need a bit followers or friends, just a core group, maybe like a couple, who when you feel like an imposter, they convince you that you're real. and that you may have to fake it until you make it. my mother used to say, you're always smiling, i know you are not that happy. [laughter] but i found at an early age that when you smile at people that still works on tv, by the way. the world is falling apart, but look at these molars. [laughter] i do think it opened a lot of doors that really were nailed shut to me, particularly as a person of color. that ability to wil have opened my eyes smiles really made a difference. i needed people around me who were doing great things in our young lives to believe in me. >> the piece i would add to that is choosing that special forces wisely i think is huge. i think the one piece that i would say, just very tactically, when you are choosing what you have defined as your special forces

i don't think their work will be as heavy as what we had here, and it can be done quickly and if the articles of impeachment don't come over, i believe this can be up, but you better check it out with the leader, but that would be my impression. we don't have a lot of other legislative agenda to go to. the only other thing would be nominations. >> how soon could those other three committees, in your view, get through that work? >> i don't know but i think the intent is for the leader to get them to move quickly. >> when it comes to usmca, one of the concenrs i've heard from, especially from people in the manufacturing sector, is jobs leaving this country is going to mexico. to what extent will this new usmca answer those concerns? >> i think the best thing i can tell you is that what the itc said. 176,000 -- job creation as a result of the usmca. next question? >> i just wanted to ask you on the canadian side there's the aluminum sector and dairy sectory that are suggesting they were sold down the river. what's your message to those industries? >> you're talking about usmca? >> yeah.

will just briefly, i think it is an interesting question that i am still thinking about, because i tend to think about it in the reverse, that going local allows us to address some of the erasures that we see in the national narrative, you know, freedmen's bureau records tells a lot about particular families, and the stresses of reconstruction in a way that is just not going to make it in that big political narrative, but, you know, so how do we hand it on the local level? i guess i will address it in a pedagogical sort of way, it is not, you cannot just sort of unleash students on sources and let them go and then take their paper at the end of the semester. i mean, a lot of the discussion in class needs to go on to help them -- be able to ask some of the questions and be able to really think critically about some of these sources and see some of the things you are talking about, so i think that is really important. tend to own teaching, i try to use contemporary art to the violence in the record, so when teaching violence and lynching, i will talk very specifically and offer specif

no i think my legacy. i want to. when i eventually disappear and turn it into like a pile of glitter i want to be remembered as somebody who. really tried to leave things better than when what i have found you know even if the smallest change i'll be completely grateful i want to be remembered as somebody who love the art of you know southern square and trans people who was always trying to create spaces when they when there weren't any and so as long as like that attached to my legacy that's totally you know i think. there is a great quote from dorian corey in paris is burning and i think it's actually the quote thing and. she's like a bee shooting arrow and goes are a high rate for you and i think that's really you know i i don't really get caught up and wondering who's going to remember me when i when i die i think i focus more is like what am i who am i actively being right now being the person the people in the you know my being the person that i knew myself to be and as long as i'm very present right now i thin

>> i think dick lugar. indiana. >> so you were looking at a senator from indiana but maybe not the one who finally got it. anyone else, do you remember? >> i don't recall. >> just for history. >> you have sort of forged your own path, your own identity, you know, beyond your name and often kind of taking on the establishment. i mean, when the entire texas establishment was behind david duherst, you backed ted cruz. very famously you helped donald trump in the state. i think this -- earlier this year the president was here for an event and he introduced you as truly -- this is the only bush who got it right. how was that? >> well, when i entered public service in 2012, i'm not sure anybody in this room could have predicted what would happen in 2016. i worked really hard for my dad when he ran. you know, as we were talking about in 1980, that being considered an ugly campaign, well, 2016 was pretty bad. if there's one of the lessons i learned in my family, it's politics can be a dirty sport. you know, things a

>> i think it's a combination. and, again, i don't want to downplay how difficult it is to fight drugs. we have a problem here in the united states. >> huge problem. >> you could look at mexico. you look at columbia. you look at developed countries are having a problem with it. you put it into a country like afghanistan, it -- it dwarves a lot of the other problems. the sad side -- thing is over the last 18 years, drug usage in afghanistan has skyrocketed. and i can't remember, and i can get back to you on the data on the u.n., i think afghanistan may have the highest addiction rate of any developing country now. but i can double check that. i may be wrong. >> if you can get back to me, that'd be great. no big deal. but thank you so much for being here. i yield back the remainder of my time, mr. chairman. thank you. >> thank you, representative. i call in myself now. i'm next in the lineup. i want to ask you, mr. sopko, and thank you for your testimony. i want to ask you about our diplomatic corps and the state depa

i think the rules define his powers. the rules very clearly don't give him the authority to cast a tie-breaking vote and i don't think he's going to claim any inherent power to do it. the senate has the power to compel witnesses. he doesn't. he's also not a presiding officer in the same capacity as the vice-president is because the constitution expressly says the vice-president can cast the tie-breaking vote and there is nothing that expressly says the chief justice can do that. >> and the fact there's nothing that says he can't is not instructive? >> it is not -- >> not defined, not derived. >> he does not have any power without the express grant of it. >> i'm going to disagree a little bit. as the professor says, the constitution says ordinarily the vice-president can cast and shall cast a tie-breaking vote. but in impeachment, the chief justice fills that role. shall preside. and i think that role, shall preside, means includes cast the tie-breaking vote. of course, you know that that was done in the andrew johnson tri

and i think tlt rallies. n the history of mankind and listen to paul tudor jones think about it he thought about his words and he still came out with something that provocative. >> think about in '87. >> there you go. we got more coming up from davos tomorrow in fact we have an interview with the president tomorrow morning. joe kernen, president trump sitting down live from davos 5:00 a.m. eastern time squawk box starts early tomorrow because of davos if you can't tune in live set the dv wrchlts also on being deck, jamie dimon, the ceos uber. the special squawks box, longer version. ginny romanticy in that great line. >> feeling good, coming up, how options trader gear up for j&j earnings plus a check on the cramer cam jim chatting with the costco ceo. stock on fire this year. should you buy it in bulk? that's the full interview at the top of the hour. in the mnte,eaim live at the nasdaq and back right after this ♪ thanks for coming all this way to get me. do you have everything? ran out of that car so fast, i

will of the people in government and parliament there that is what makes this all asymmetrical and i think you can draw different conclusions about as a media likes to do who won and who lost go ahead alex and well here's what i mean i think the fundamental difference is that the radios deployed the entire strategic range of their assets they weren't together there that foreign policy that diplomats they bring to get their political leaders they built bring in their intelligence operatives their military people or so their economic assets such as they are and they set themselves very clear objectives which they don't let themselves be diverted from and that objective is not clearly defined easy as to trying to get the united states and the middle east out of iraq specifically and to areas where they can threaten iran the united states while i contrast what we see there is a dysfunctional government which doesn't have any kind of clear long 6 long established plan so you. different people pushing for different objectives you have people look wanting to escalate as you put it which means ess
