and i think whether it comes to sexual ethics, or a view of america's history and founding, i do not ink it is liberal in the classical sense anymore. i think there actually is an anchor of positive ideology. it is one i disagree with, and i think it is one that is counter to a conservatism that really anchors itself in history and tradition, but i certainly think that there is an anchor behind how the left sees the world today. susan: and what is william f. buckley's legacy to the movement? mr. burtka: well, his legacy is that he ran and founded the most influential conservative publication of the 20th century that exerted a great deal of influence on republican politics. so in that sense, i think it is a positive legacy. but at the same time, i think there are some pitfalls. i think he over emphasized the importance of politics and electoral victories at the expense of other cultural concerns. i think the magazine, national review, towards the end of its life, i know that buckley came to regret supporting the war in iraq. but he and his magazine in some sense led the charge of leadi

i think the second point of russia-china, i think these are very interesting and intriguing. i doubt very much it's the partnership of two equals. at the same time i do wonder if the russians more manipulative with the chinese and perhaps the chinese let on. i think the whole disinformation thing where as you say we've seen the chinese copying russian practices of disinformation, increasing vis-À-vis uk -- [inaudible] that's an interesting area to explore. i will stop there so you can ask questions or move on to luke, but very happy to elaborate on any of that. >> thank you. i think that's very insightful about your analysis that russia feels it has more to gain from being disruptive than from engaging in trying to think about why that might be the case. certainly there are certain rules and norms that are viable but i think god that there is scope for thinking about how we change that calculus. rush is not alone in that. a number of other countries, heather and i just looked closely at turkey and turkey is making the same calculation in its region that it has more to gain fro

media reports that russian of the get stronger every day offering bounties to taliban fighters well i think a lot of things about it larry 1st of all it makes me furious makes me want to puke i get very angry if the charges are true you know when russia was in afghanistan the united states backed the mujahideen we called them in those days they were our allies they were freedom fighters and we did you know supply them with the r.p.g. eason the the other targeted missiles that they used to shoot the russians so part of the dirty game of the great game the the war you know the quiet war that's been going on i hope these charges are not true they seem illogical in the context of today with peace talks going on we want to get out of afghanistan are our longest war i did a leaven the science there i'm sick of it we've lost so many people i want to get out we want to get out the russians want us out why would the russians do something that would piss us off i don't know it seems illogical but it also seems like a yet another attack on donald trump larry putin told me years ago that he doesn't wan

so i do think that we might see something of a 5 g. cold war where we have you know countries that are willing to accept chinese technology and countries that aren't. i certainly you know clearly while they will continue its you know innovation in china it's very strong in the middle east in certain parts of africa southeast asia and latin america that's going to continue i think the real battleground is going to be in continental europe where it's about 5050 so that's really where we're going to see this war i think is it's and it's hardest this war rubber is supposed to be about cyber security at least that's the official reason right but have any of the wall way alternatives been subject to the same sort of rigorous testing that one way products have been subjected to to make sure that they are more secure and though they have an effect comment so the hallway in the u.k. has what's called the cell or cyber security center which is staffed by affected individuals to review their code and they found lots of problems in the right care a

well sure i mean i think i would defer to the former mayor of my state in new orleans mitch landrieu who courageously took down the confederate statutes in new orleans a few years ago and his argument was essentially that you know we are a melting pot as a city and we really celebrate that but we should not force our citizens to look up to have to look up at you know monuments of confederate soldiers whose goal was to uphold slavery and this is a thing certainly a traumatic experience for someone to see and someone especially someone of color will inevitably see that and wonder well am i actually in a place where i belong culturally does this place actually represent my values if it's willing to you know have a monument that celebrates my ancestors and slaves meds and i think that culturally and psychologically it is important to make sure that those kinds of monuments do not remain are going to those those that using money means came down after a broad community discussion correct sure because they would see this is well you know i have no attachment to confederate statues and monum

deficit, i think we saw similar polls in 2016, none of i the democrats am speaking to think that these numbers will necessarily hold, that this lead he has rhaps more importantly in many swing states, is, it will narrow by virtue of people shuffling into where, it ght already leaning towards this as this approaches, i think biden is going to make lot of news when he announces a vp pick, i think he has been rolling out recyly detailed poproposals and getting attention, i think the campaign feels like they are on a good road and need in keep pu forward, for trump, as we discussed, i think there is this question of the pandemic and whettrr he can demoe to voters who do not feel like he is handling this well, that he is taking it seriously and is trying to stem the tide, interestingly, polls that show overwhelmingly, despite all of this, voters do really trust trump with the economy,i think that is going to become a key question, that link between the pandemic and the economy and to define the arguments to t orders. >> marisa just mentioned the vice president pick, biden is expected to ann

desantis: i think that is a very good question. typically, i don't know that we would be able to just force you to take a test. that is why i think if you are symptomatic and you are sick, that is probably a different question. when we do the long-term care -- weg, we do not require offer it to residents, but you have some that just don't want to be tested. we do not force them to be tested. butake the staff do it, they are regulated as part of working in these facilities. i think there are significant issues with that. you are doing it with folks that are symptomatic, it is something that will probably be easily defensible. >> [indiscernible] look, i think you are seeing that. remember that when we were going through this in march and april, a lot of folks were focused on what is being restricted, shut down, or all that? of theu look at it, most behavior was changing before a lot of that was happening. we have seen the cases have risen as it becomes more of a centerstage issue again. we are seeing changes in mobility data. making t

well i think that the peer is the. 'd 'd 'd first 'd you know speak from their perspective about why or what i think is that we really need more. exchanges for example i think the. bigger thought rather uncommon for example. for the last year we see what's going on are of course there are some i think the jump you have to leave it to the conserves but the women were not able to tolerate the chaotic society that airport was blocked for weeks and that disco council was sold and all the shops and the license bystanders were put out gasolines and things like that even even in the us president probably not now that he was a reserve muti come to use that should he will start he even took up on that so so then what the basic law allows the central government and the right for the fans to obviously execute so i think the national congress passed this law we really don't order and possibly back to our so that $7000000.00 and mainland tourists come to our own car there i'm sure the stability comes under we be prosperous hunger a

when i look at the wide range, i don't think they are there exactly comparable. i have quite more condemnation than i do for the which is that says i think what we are seeing what's so fascinating is so many of these subjects of their fire, other than one another are the same. there are certain newspapers, for example there's a feminist of the horrible. [inaudible] are they white supremacist patriarch papers that should be struck down because they failed them that way? these are often charges brought against institutions more broadly and whatever else they want to say, those institutions have failed us more broadly. it's not any paper letter in particular but speaking more broadly there is a sense in which not the center, but the institutions make up our lives have lost our trust. however we may understand or give voice to those feelings, there is, i would argue, something interesting to me and how widespread the distrust is a kind of institutional targets. >> so i would like to thank everyone who is followed my instructions and actually asked some questions we ha

>> i think remedies the most potentially one hurt i would think facebook and i think the least one hurt would be apple. just back of the envelope stuff. maybe you could argument on facebook but i think it seems to me that apple is probably the most impervious to any of this my opinion. >> tim, what do you say? >> well, apple seems to me with the app store and the complaints from the developers and people like spotify, we heard the ceo offer the bell that seems the most vulnerable and i think apple and if you look at their revenue and their services revenue and i've heard dan talk about this, too to the extent that we have thrown so much in terms of a fresh multiple at apple on services, if you -- that seems to be the place where ultimately, look, the competitive environment is such where in an efficient market should settle that score it hasn't so far i think apple remains under pressure >> yeah. byron, what do you think >> i think just in terms of again, in terms of revenue attribution, i believe the app store is about 10% of the apple overall revenue. so while there may be a higher pr

i think they do care what the rest of the world thinks of them. and we are in a position, if we are, we show leadership to impose cost on those kind of human rights violations, i would certainly concur with the sentiment that chi china views state run economy in terms that it's necessary to the maintenance of its form of rule. but i don't think that mean that is we can't change china or should stop trying to change china's intellectual property. the unfair trading advantage it has by subsidizing state run companies like huawei to compete in market based economies that don't have heavily states or industry. i'd like to get your further thoughts on what you think is within our ability to change in terms of china's behavior. what's the best way to approach it. in particular, i'm deeply concerned about their export of digital totalitarian model. their digital safe cities initiative. they may not care whether other countries adopt their state run economies, but they do seem to be taking steps to help other countries maintain autocratic rule. so, would l

if we get to the point of thinking our faith chosen family. iwonder if that tendency will sort of lend itself out towards an intentional community and maybe even a disembodied community. >> do you think it is also possible that there could be, i mean, love, this has been fantastic, but it is really not the same as doing a panel in the flesh. that goes double and triple, i think, for a lot of religious practices. could there be an anti-internet religion backlash that manifests itself in a desire for an flesh communities or communes with large vegetable gardens in weird polyamorous living arrangements. >> some of those things we have found really tempting. i think that it is certainly possible. however, i think that it may be even if these communities do come about openly, we may use the internet to get there. we will find a way. 40% of us find our partner online. it doesn't mean they will never in real life. i think that the digital space and the promise of that will be a sort of launching pad for people to find, seek out and find communities tha

and i think you know i sort of hedge my bets if only in terms of being courteous in discussion i think that's the only way you can guarantee or at least increase that but that's considered weakness compromise to consider weakness of k. and then when you compromise they move the goalposts again ok i bet i've come to that conclusion over the last few years that cavanagh saga. get me i'm out moving the goalpost constantly moving it ok and destroying a man's character humiliating him in front of this family that has to stop here it could because there's something you know everybody knows i live in my. and i'm i'm a historian of eastern europe you know russian history and during the soviet era you know there was kind of it was a joke that you know the future is certain but not the past ok because the you can wake up one morning in the mix and some ideological tenet has changed ok and you better get in line or all you'll be called the deviation this is happening in america. chase but when understood that history is always present with us we have to understand that history is always present w

china willing to try to i don't think any winning the trade war i do think of going back to those i think a lot of the stuff that the united states has been doing i actually agree with a lot of the things that have been happening the problem is that the trade war has . being a pushback not no i think i think a lot of it and many ways i think this is long overdue the problem as president and the trump administration it's never quite sure whether they have accepted what china the chinese system is and are really just trying to push back or whether they are genuinely trying to change what the c.c.p. house structurally at home and that is incredibly difficult i know that us doing the same thing they're demanding. structural reforms of china and what i keep telling people is it incredibly difficult to get the party to do something it doesn't want to do and this really shows in the trade for results because trump has been throwing tariffs at china and he's been playing hardball and where is the u.s. the more asking nicely but even playing hardball basically all he got was what could be i'm char

agree with david to the extent i don't think that this is a cultural revolution and i dare i say that if you were if we were to use that term cultural revolution then i think you know we have had moments in history both in the states and globally where we have seen sort of these moments arising from the people so to speak but i think the retaliates is that there is a bit of an oppression of revisionist history and that's a fine line between intimidation public shaming you know economic rowing to. 2 words that are being placed in the public square versus the cancer culture and that is currently what we have particularly i think almost both sides right so it's not just liberal such as conservatives i think both sides are are contributing to this fact where we are seeing it particularly from the progressive left is this rise of a question of revisionist history and so i think it's calling really to the stage but issues and histories we have not faced up to our own up to and a past where we're also seeing this on the right even if we look at settling we know that we have conservative righ

i didn't read her book and think, i did think she was cool because she had so much cooler than me butlike, wow, i relate to this in the habit related to many addiction memoirs because they do tell a story that takes an arc and then everything is okay. my story is like arc after arc after arc. >> this is an aside popping into my head as i think about especially good or well-known books about drinking and women. including some people like sarah have a lot or carolyn matt. one thing that's really unusual about your book is that you stay with it at every step. what often happens with drinking à >> calling it relentless. in fact, let's jump ahead. the book not only do you stay with it, you stay with it in scene. you don't start to generalize about what's happening, you take us through moment after moment after moment, which is just from a writing point of view pretty astonishing and we will talk more about the content of the book that i want to acknowledge the structure and the writing of the book. it's completist, exhaustive, and at times exhausting. i mean that in a good way.we feel your

i see that and all of the work that we are doing at the dallas fed and i think it is critical that i call it out. >> the ongoing lockdowns have been particularly hard for working parents. given where we are right now the pandemic, with the surge in cases in many places, do you think that schools should be reopen for in-person instruction in the fall? >> i will leave that to others. listen, i have two children myself who i would like to see very much back in school in the fall for a lot of reasons. i think i am sympathetic to the leaders that need to make those judgments. i have heard, in talking to school officials and elected and appointed leaders in my district and around the country. to the extent that we can meet the transmission of the virus, it will make it far more likely that we will be able to safely reopen schools. to the extent that we have the virus raging in certain localities, it will be more challenging. >> i understand it's a bit of a political question, but the reason i'm asking you in particular is because of the productivity side of things. it's not only affecting w

i think that i want to-- i mean, one can see, i think, but i need to be a bit careful. i have not looked very specifically at the numbers, but the number of-- seems to be somewhat higher in sweden than the neighboring countries which has attracted discussion. and i think it's too soon to tell, to see how that will play out in the end. some of the neighboring countries, they have been able to relax quicker. they were more severe in first instance and were able to relax a bit quicker. for sweden, it's a bit longer, now, that has helped them, i think, a bit in the initial economic impact, which has been relatively mild, i think, in sweden compared to some other countries. at the same time, one can only pass judgment on that or, well, at the end, at the end of the day, if all costs are being counted and i think that simply too early for that. >> so one last -- when you mentioned external risk earlier in your assessment of the economic outlook for the eu and obviously, the u.s. is now on a very different trajectory in terms of the threat of the disease. is that something tha

trump won the cultural war in 2016 but i think you can lose it in 2020 because of the economy i still think that that fundamentally is not people going to respond to i mean it is not you know i'm the product of the broad for over 20 years and you know having to explain american politics sometimes can be very difficult because we have a president may have 50 governors now at the end of the day he's you know he's captain of the ship he is responsible for the country but i sometimes worry when he says well these are just democratic cities and things like that and that's you know that is such a divisive thing to it in fact. it's actually true but when the commander in chief the leader of the country to say well it's their fault i think that really sounds very hollow for a lot of people limor in a national crisis go ahead and zoom right in the democratic senate is fram has balls the violent crime rate in the united states has been falling since the early the beginning of the 1990 s. people constantly get encouraged to believe that america is a war zone in the cities an act we're safer we b

but over time it's definitely a trend and i agree i think the president has lost the plot that got him elected and i actually if i may i have a new book called patriots of 2 nations which. helps especially people on my side of the fence understand support for president trump beyond the i think over simplified explanations they're all racists or they're all ignorant or or whatever and i think ultimately it's a different view of reality and he was appealing to a reality that dates back to the founding of the country which is a counter enlightenment view of reality that focuses more on culture and loyalty and faith as opposed to science. facts and logic and the social contract and i think actually that's what he was appealing to was people who responded to what they saw as an appeal to things like faith and culture but i think he's mistaken a for just the racist element there's certainly an element of racism in support for trump not all of his supporters are racists of course but he seems to be doubling down on the ugliest parts of the basis of court for him and i think that's where he's

i don't think a jury is going to buy that i don't think they're going to care and lest we forget the jails don't take too kindly to people that do things to children and could you imagine a women's prison how they're going to feel about that so i think maxwell has a lot of other concerns but a jury is not going to feel that in terms of a defense attorney position they can try to make that argument they can try to just go on the facts a regardless of your feelings this is this is the deal here that there are too many victims that have come out there remember her standing in the room and doing acts to these young girls herself. got a sweetheart deal here. was one of them in the strategy was this to discredit all of the alleged victims here in this day and age i think that's going to be a pretty rough course the tape here. ok and considering the the tender age of some of these girls here me. and again being very very narrow on these very specific issues here that is going to be a way to keep it under control here the thing is that i guess what we need to know is that there were negotiat

i think just thinking about it, in the u.s. context, that creates a challenge for us here where not everybody has the same opportunities. globally, it also creates a challenge when people -- everybody wants the best for their children, and that is understandable. so how do we -- we live in an era where more people have been brought out of poverty than ever before. but there are still billions of people that are very, very poor. and that creates not only all the obvious problems, but also instability. and so how do we deal with that? i mean, i could go on and on. [laughter] but i think that perhaps the positive side of that is there is still lots of work for you to do. [laughter] [applause] mr. feinstein: it was interesting on the first point you made -- this morning our first panel with senator todd young. he talked about working on a bipartisan basis on the arms-control initiatives. ms. yovanovitch: very important. mr. feinstein: ok. right here please. thing number two. [laughter] >> hi. i am studying international studies, ch

i think there is certainly a degree of liberal bias but i do think sometimes when you are just saying things that are known, i think trump is, my interview with the president, i asked if he would go to president obama's presidential library opening which is something every president has done in modern history but celebrating the legacy of the president who came before him and he said no. he didn't even invite me. you know he's not going to invite the unveiling of the white house, it's away from traditions that i don't think bias in marking that and i think these are questions, doesn't matter? do these traditions matter? she wanted bearing trump to finish in new york, that was something the first lady had done but i think it was an interesting move because why should you not be able to make those decisions for yourself and your family? in some ways, they are different but it's questioning the tradition. >> the caller mentioned former president obama, his comments earlier this year, the graduating class of historically black colleges and universities, he did not mention president trump

i think people upgrade this. the one thing i would say in general, though, this is very clear about across the board with earnings tonight, is that number one, you never bet against the american consumer, even in the middle of a pandemic and number two, a lot of people have said, hey, the stock market is disconnected from the economy. we had a negative 32% gdp print today and these tech companies just crushed it. so the american consumer is still alive and well >> and the american trader, we're talking about robin hood and the popularity of the retail investor and here apple goes splitting four for one, so theoretically this is an opportune time in terms of the attention being paid to stocks by retail traders who are in there for the first time >> so that point, it's a little bit conspicuous. why would they do this when you can buy fractional shares with any online broker right now? so i'm a little shocked at that. but to guy's point, stocks will run into a stock split that's number one. think about where the stoc

i think the story is women. not quite that, because also it's coupled with, if there is high african-american turnout, coupled with the total crating thedefection of women to republican party, i can't think of a stupider mistake that may. the suburbs absolutely means women. one of the things i think is such an interesting data point on 2018, you look at someone who's in a place where donald trump won by seven points in 2016. so in 2018, she wins by four points, which means that she had to have picked up people who voted for donald trump. now she is in a very vulnerable seat here in 2020, and i don't know whether she will hold onto it or not, but i do think it shows just how many people, and i will tell you, i do all these focus groups, you focus on women and you say you are only looking is filled with women who voted for him and 2016 by 2018 there were so disgusted and so horrified be -- i him, they couldn't wait to go vote for the democrat in between 18. i saw that shift happen more or less in real time. the gen

nationwide, i think is about 4%. so you do the deduction that the folks, you know, once they get a certain part, they kind of clear the illness. i know texas is. i kind of wish we would do that, but that is just not something they have done from the very beginning, but i do think that is important to point out to people. i mean, you guys have somebody in the hospital, and you give them treatment, and you discharge them, you know, they are likely recovered at that point, or they certainly will. most people who test positive at your walk-up site here, you send them home and tell them to isolate, and then they recover. so that is a good thing for people to know, that people do clear the illness, and, you know, obviously have the ability to donate convalescent plasma to be able to help folks who may be suffering more. that is another issue with just kind of our -- what we have seen since our testing really started to go up in terms of the number positives is the huge number of cases between 20 and 24. if you look at the c

i think china is not surprised that the u.s. is focusing in on it now and sees this in part as a structural inevitability. think president obama and president bush would have liked to work with china on international issues but china was not ready at that point to invest in global public good. it was very focused on developing its economy and its modernization and it kept talking about this time of extreme vulnerability. thats to make people think it was not interested in being externally aggressive. with the advent of donald trump, the chinese thought they could initially work with trump and that he w was transactional and they could do deals and he was not values based in his approach. what they failed to detect was that he really wasn't that interested in the substance, prone toas very much changing his view and didn't want to be bound by any constraints which made the whole relationship very unpredictable and pretty uncomfortable for the chinese, obviously. they don't like that kind of unpredictability and chaos. especially w

i don't think so it all. appy to see that you are wearing some makeup, and people are more and more, even when people are more and more wearing theyp again, more so than used to before. consumption, we see consumption secondly,again, and we all hope that you would not be obliged to work from home for the rest of your life. so there will be a day where you will, with a vaccine or treatment or something where you will be able to go out, i am betting that this day you will wear a lot of makeup because you will want to celebrate your return to the real life. tom: very good. l'oreal there. i am looking at myself this money, and i this think -- i just think that i need elena rubenstein aging and brightening. i needs deep renewing -- francine: you need a serum, tom. tom: yeah, i need a serum. you do this. ly thing?he rol francine: i use everything, tom. serums. what people don't spend on makeup, tv anchors are probably making up for it because we are on the air so much. news, thefirst word always beautiful ritika gup

i think that's meaningful. even if there's pauses in reopenings or retractions, we're still on a positive trend. i do think it's hard to make a negative argument. that being said, i have no doubt there won't be disappointments along the way and it will be rocky between now and year end but i think it will be positive, trending >> john, are we going to make a run at new highs what about the s&p and the dow >> i think all of them make runs at it. you've heard tom lee say it. you've heard tony dyer and many of us on this same panel said it i think given the bit of tina in the market, the alternatives are not there to believe that absent an outright closing of the economy again, which i don't think is in the cards, i think we do make a run at new highs. >> the most optimistic of targets is 3600. 450 or so points away from that on the s&p do you think we can make a run at new highs even at a time when the virus is still spreading and spreading wildly in some places? >> i think you can make a run at it based on primar

well i think situations are looking seriously shaky and if the government doesn't really take care of radical millionaire i actually don't see that happening at this stage i think the country is certainly one of a very difficult very complicated cards if i could just to give you some context in terms of what's happening now you know the government's. the very day that a very corny a very powerfully to go for help at this very government to power only debate is important he was killed also decided arrest some of the most prominent politicians that replace the or more committed people for the orthodox congress that are there are mohammed but elegant about other individuals from that's their party and it wasn't you know for the only place in florence now if you really wanted to calm the situation you can know what's true that and the very day that this community was supposed to mourn and properly bury and yes i feel good and also the figure in something nice he was somebody that people expected to be given a proper send off that's really up to his profile within this community in the gov

i think this gaming cycle is going to continue. i don't think we're to see -- i think nvidia is pretty expensive but if you had any opportunity to add to that stock with the artificial intelligence expos e exposure, i think that's a great buy. >> electric viehicles is another space i would look at. it's telling that all we have talked about is the semiconductors because that's clearly where the growth and the cyclical momentum is >> thank you for being here. good to hear from you again. >>> straight ahead, the bank call that goldman says is best in class we'll debate it in our call of the day. we do have with us a special guest today. sports radio giant mike francesa he talks stocks and sports you definitely know that it's a big day for mike. we'll explain when he joinus as bit later on we're back after this. save hundreds on your wireless bill without even leaving your house. just keep your phone and switch to xfinity mobile. you can get it by ordering a free sim card online. once you activate, you only have to pay for the data you

i think they continue to do well i mean, alternatively jeff i think mentioned the staples. if we are going to get the selloff, it could be precipitated by a weaker dhaoll. maybe they get some tailwind on that that's the way i would kind of play this and hide out. >> i thought it was interesting that the chart master didn't say this sector will outperform when tech underperforms or has its pullback he said it's going to be idiosyncratic names because you don't know if this is a sign of weakness for the broader market or a sign of weakness just for this particular sector. >> that's right. i'm concerned about the cyclical trade. i mentioned that as losing momentum as its downward sloping resistance on the other hand you have all this crowding that took place in tech the question is where do you do, what do you do i think about semiconductors now you sort of know what's wrong. the stock very quickly priced in a 15% decline. now it's trading at a valuation at ten times forward earnings where the stock has been well-supported over the past couple of years. looking idiosyncraticall

you know, i don't think so. no, i don't think so. and i think the interesting question really is not should they receive a salary but should they be able to work for a salary at their job that they might have already had. and i think that's what we'll have to come to terms with. i mean, certainly, a first gentleman might continue to work at whatever he did if he was a lawyer or whatever, and i think that's really the question we should ask, is should she have a career during those years that her husband is president in addition to serving as first lady. >> certainly at the state level, some first spouses have been able to pursue their own careers, but could this work on a national level? what about conflict of interest in whatever job a spouse would hold? is it possible for someone in this day and age to migrate from having a life fully outside the white house as well as being first spouse? >> well, i think we would have to give it a try and see how we think it works out. you know, i think that certainly the ceremonial aspects of the

i think i, i think the national security advisor, i think those who provide the intelligence briefings to the president have an obligation, an obligation to bring that kind of sensitive intelligence to the attention of the president of the united states. >> mister secretary if i could. with both the levels of certainty and given your background , would it be something, maybe you can give us, shed some light on these things. it wouldn't be a random and non-corroborated at all. in your experience if something was brought to the presidential daily briefing. if there was information that was shared very high intelligence information shared with an ally like the uk and that's been reported in this instance or maybe you could tell us about the cia wire intelligence review and these are significant benchmarks of intelligence. i'm almost out of time if you can shed some light is this aims to be the discussion of the week . >> again, there's no question that when i was director of the cia. if we had information that that was taking place and involved our nato allies, that we would immediately s

it will move forward and then i will ask any question go ahead now i think china u.s. relations will goal for the doll between now and the web at the certs and between the certs. gender or the trying to it's 25 i love traits that america. resists america would be downed if wanes so there will be great chaos in the united states i mean here we were presented as you elect there you know the same question go ahead right i don't know that the foundation that has been laid over the last 3 plus years is likely to change regardless of who's in the white house come january 20th i think the stakes are going to continue to be higher and i do agree with victor that we can expect things to get a little a little worse in the next several months that all said i do think there will ultimately become an equilibrium. between these 2 powers with the recognition that they have to find a way to get along the stakes are simply and i wouldn't be surprised actually if the chinese government actually prefers a 2nd trump presidency because that will continue the disarray and the fra

i think that's likely to be right. n't know how much it will close with the president's campaign has to work very hard to close it. paul: appreciate it. still ahead, lawmakers scrambled to work out a deal on a new coronavirus relief package,,,, businesses are starting to bounce back. but what if you could do better than that? like adapt. discover. deliver. in new ways. to new customers. what if you could come back stronger? faster. better. at comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. but bounce forward. that's why we're helping you stay ahead and adapt with a network you can count on, 24/7 support and flexible solutions that work wherever you are. call or go online today. amazing school district. the hoa has been very involved. these shrubs aren't board approved. you need to break down your cardboard. thank you. violation. violation. i see you've met cynthia. at least geico makes bundling our home and car insurance easy. and it does help us save a bunch of money. two inches over regulation. thanks, cyn

i would think to myself this will not end well. challenging power when white supremacy was beyond violence. it will not and well. i was reading up biography of joe louis i would say this will not end well look at his overbearing handlers, look at the way people are managing him in such a way in treating him like a child, this will not end well. but if i was reading about sugar ray robinson i would think this could end well, why didn't end well for sugar ray? >> i think in his mindset it ended well. he was not broke, he was not out in the streets. mind you, at one point he had been a poor kid on the streets of harlem hustling pop bottles and stealing fruit off of fruit stands. and so he went out to california inserted the sugar ray robinson youth foundation. he no longer had his pink cadillac he had a little pinto squeezing himself in going into seat movie mongols asking them so in a way it was back to his former self he became walker smith junior again when he sows first rec center he wanted to re-create that experience for young pe

i think we really need to look at the equity capital. any brown the washington post last week, roundabout capital. nichols the rocket fuel for job creation. in the hands of the black entrepreneurs. i i think we need to provide more funds. that more women fund managers and lack fund managers. and what we can form funds by broadening out that hoops . and amplified in the with a really great jobs and ownership of businesses. but we have to be deliberate about the real barriers. most black entrepreneurs have just left capital. in sort of capital that in black orchid for no versus why come about 136. that is a barrier. so they need external capital. in more small winter months. and more small funds brother country not just concentrated in the three areas where they spend most of it now. and even more than a regional and, would be very beneficial no. >> what had a lot of times here is funds are available. but nobody knows how to get to us. yet the good old boy network but there may be ways to educate as well. but as you see huge duplication and

i think that has something to do with it, too. n the childhood of your little havana, i am guessing no one cared about the payroll tax programs the president is talking about now. can you support your president wanting his payroll tax policy in this next stimulus? mayor gimenez: i'm sorry, i haven't heard that on so i can't really give you a good opinion one way or the other on what the plans are. i know the people here in miami-dade need help, especially those that are on weight. our restaurant industry -- those that are unemployed. our restaurant industry, our bar industry, those have been hardest hit because they are closed. those business owners need some kind of help to get them back and employ those people, and then get to normal. the faster we get back to that normal, the better it will be. tom: mr. mayor, thank you for your straight talk. we look forward to bringing you "bloomberg surveillance" to miami-dade county, we are thinking the second week of march. enez, their mayor. i think i slipped that in nicely. when?an: march

i don't think that it was close. do you? >> i don't know. know, the president talked a bit about his mother's passing, he talked about health care. i'm not sure how much time they did have to spend together. >> tomorrow night, there's going to be a state dinner at the white house. you mentioned earlier that -- we asked in each program about the job of each first lady as a steward of the white house. how does michelle obama perhaps use it differently than other first ladies? >> we talked about the garden that. has been her signature stamp on the white house. we see her going out for the ceremonial plantings and harvesting and being out there with children. but also using the house, she referred to it as the people's house. this idea that people who never come to the white house should be welcomed in, and what are ways to do that, in the kind of bringing in folks who never have been there before. so you see lots of schoolchildren coming through for workshops when there is a celebrity who is giving a musical performance. there will be a worksho

i think that charlie is at rest. of us coming out with the fruits of certain authority that you have let me bring if i can attention doesn't change take time in a very complicated political and ethnic landscape like ethiopia i mean it wasn't long ago the prime minister was being hailed for his reforms releasing people from prison announcing an end to sort of political detentions even want to nobel prize right. yes absolutely but i think you know a lot of the concerns that we amongst others have been voicing as well is that the 1st 3 months there were some amazing reforms which were implemented and i think what we have seen is both the stalling of of some of the reforms that we have seen some steps back i mean one of the areas and one of the commitments the government had made was to reform some of the legislation which had been used again and again to basically criminalized peaceful dissent and what we've seen is the government coming out with a new tool with the hate speech law which we have raised a range of concer

i think if you think about it, how are human beings going to react? they're going to say, boy, i better get my bets in now in case the season is closed down. so i think if anything, it pulls earnings forward and the risk is that draft kings outperforms on earnings. >> if only we were in the same place, right like the old days, the old days weren't even that long ago, right? >> imagine that. >> he with wouldn't ha-- we wouo have all these delays. so you're watching hockey and that season is extremely long, as we all know. >> so you yore, mare you, mel. >> so what are you not doing you have a limited number of hours so what are you not doing and is that a loser on the back of sports whims? >> it's interesting. i thought, you know, if you'd asked me six months ago i would have thought i would have been devastated by the lack of sports. it really hasn't borkthered me l that much. it's more passing to me. i've sort of moved past it. i will watch hockey. but i don't think the hockey season is long enough, but that's another episode of another show. but to je

i think funding is definitely a factor. talked about requirement to fund the pmf as part of angie tea and bring that together with fitara. i do feel like the biggest challenge overall, i don't think it's an active resistance issue to your previous question. it's the complexity of what is going on. it isn't acronym soup and a compliance culture. so how do we simplify and provide greater transparency in order to move forward? i think those are the questions. >> my problem with these workers who've been in the government for a long time, do you think that we need to do retraining? there are statistics showing that young people don't even want to come into the i.t. workforce of the federal government. is that the problem or is it a retraining problem? >> i think it's a problem on multiple fronts. yes, absolutely, training is very important. i don't know that the federal government, of late, has been a particularly attractive employer for young people now with the pandemic and the downturn in the economy, we will probably see go

you know, i think it's something that i think is a good thing. and so recruiting is always difficult. when you look at what the military does, all the services, every year, there's a population of about 350,000 people that we all try to get. they're all the same age. they're all morally fit and high school graduates. so we all compete for that. and i have to get 45 of them in the army national guard and 10,000 -- 10 to 15,000 of them in the air national guard and the army tries to get 70 thou,0 and you start going through that talent pretty quick. we will offer somebody -- i tell the story about a -- i was at an ohio food bank being run by a lieutenant who was an infantry officer who was an accountant. and so you get those people and this guy was high speed, i'm telling you. he was superhigh speed. the ability to find and keep those people has never been more important than it is now. we continue to ask them and their families and employers, we have to incentivize the ability of employers to let their people go and i'll use mine. i've been an emp

>> i think you have to. i don't see how you get around it. >> what is the appearance in this state look like when it comes to masks? >> i don't know why it has come such -- become such a political issue. i'm glad to see the president not wearing a mask. he says it's patriotic to wear a mask yesterday. i know most of his administration has been saying masking is important. i know you are a big proponent of that. we had our masks on and just took them off for the interview. most of the people in my state or following it and i think that is one of the reasons our numbers are going down as opposed to certain places where they refuse to wear masks. >> it seems to me it's one of the things we can do collectively to prevent a resurgence. >> we started up 98% of our economy. our numbers are going down. i keep saying we want to keep marilyn open up for business. the simplest thing you can do is wear a mask. if you don't wear a mask, there is a chance the economy could shut down again and people could lose their jobs a

no i mean i think that's an i think these are all very complicated and difficult questions and i think that you know we the democrat joe biden is obviously conducting themselves norma's integrity and honor during the selection process it's something we'll continue to do i think the country has made their judgment about donald trump they know who years they don't want him to be in office any longer they don't trust him they know that he's capable of legal and nary acts ph and everything else and so i don't think he has a strong leg to stand on i don't i don't think that the public is going to was and kind of a little less so that way to interfere with the normal democratic processes and i think in some funny way what may end up happening over the last few days is that i think is going to drive turnout we're going to have very very high turnout in the selection i think there could be a huge overwhelming rejection of the president and i'm hopeful that you know that we don't have to get to the point where there is a contest where there were the within a few days of the election the outcome
