and jane alluded to this. we like to measure privacy preferences with privacy evaluation with reveal preference, we like to see the tradeoffs that consumers actually make in the marketplace i think that's the best indication of evaluation so with what is kind of a background of where i want to go with this and -- i'm going to dive into a little bit pick up where jane left or maybe diewbly kateed of jane talked about is talk about if we think about this in a way which i think a lot of this the discui friday i gave any law of economics find exam, so i have students who are cursing at this point but the solution you know we kind of think start in the basic idea that if we have no transaction cost and we don't have informational problems that whether it is a liability rule or a property rule, we get to the same outcome. right there are both lead us to whatever the optimal allocation optimal use of information let's call it. right. but we're not likely likely to live in this world. i mean, so a solution let's assig

jane mayer says i spoke at length with two people who identified themselves. hegseth, i have seen him drunk so many times, i have seen him drive away and not a few times, but multiple times. to have him at the pentagon would be scary. when those of us who worked at concerned veterans for america heard he was being considered for secretary of defense, it wasn't know, it was hell know. at one such event in virginia beach on memorial day weekend in 2014, hegseth was totally sloshed and needed to be carried to his room because he was so intoxicated. the following month during an event in cleveland, hegseth, who had gone with his team to a bar around the corner from the hotel, was described as completely drunk in a public place. according to the report, several high profile people who attended the organization's event were very disappointed to see this kind of public behavior , though the report does not identify them. nevertheless, in october 2014, the group instituted a no alcohol policy at its events. the following month, however, hegseth and another manager lif

jane foley joins us.o you extrapolate out that someday there will be too much dollar strength for the global system? >> i do not think we are anywhere near that day yet. you can never say never, and maybe we will get to that. if there is going to be an accord, lots of different sides have got to agree to that. right now, who is going to agree to that? put yourself in the position of german exporters. they are probably happy with the softer euro right now given the threat of tariffs potentially from the trump administration. would they suddenly agree to have a stronger euro and weaker dollar and maybe tariffs? i do not think they would. they are nowhere near coming to that agreement. when we get to a situation where it could be that you agree to a softer dollar and there will be no tariffs? maybe we can get to that sort of negotiation. it is not inconceivable but i do not think that is setting up for this year. tom cole and what should we watch on global wall street on currency dynamics question mark what

this was the task jane fraser had to take on.he had to take this bank and have it catch up to american peers, not to mention international ones, that is the transformation sonali referenced in that interview matters. citi becoming a more international presence and having bigger presence than american peers in international markets. that has been one of their achilles heels. not to mention their wealth management story. if you need a metric of success, the price to book ratio is the first place to go because that is where you saw citi's lag is most apparent, now that catching up has a little ways to go but has improved when it comes to citi's information and jane fraser of course at the helm of that. tom: focus more broadly through the transformation in terms of private markets and relationship with banks. something that you scrutinize pretty closely. >> it is a completely different world where private markets are a much bigger part of the conversation than they were 10 years ago. a lot of this has to do with the roles the banks p

joining us now is jane mayer, chief washington correspondent at the new yorker magazine. ms.king time to be here tonight. >> so glad to be with you. >> did i get any of that the wrong way around or is there anything else from your reporting you want to highlight for our audience to understand in terms of what you learned about mr. hegseth? >> well, thanks so much. you did a great summary and the one thing i would say that is also clear from this report is that we gave a spokesman a lawyer for pete hegseth two days basically to respond and they have not denied a single thing in this report. they just said no comment after being given sort of very careful questions. the other thing i'd like to say is just it's been almost a day since this story came out and my phone has been ringing off the hook. i have been hearing from many more people who worked with pete hegseth who have come out of the woodwork to say they, too, have stories along the same lines, stories of just drinking himself into sort of oblivion, all of which i think is -- you know, i've got nothing against people hav

jane: we aren't done yet, so i can give ourselves a grade yet. this is -- we will be disciplined about making sure we do not take shortcuts, and the problem with grading yourself along the way is it becomes too tempting to do a quarter-by-quarter grade, as opposed to we are very focused and accountable for delivering the end product. sonali: speaking of the end product, you set out a deliver returns on, equity closer to 11, 12%. jane: in the medium-term and bit after. sonali: bloomberg has the return at 6.8%. what do you say to critics who feel you're not getting there fast enough? jane: we have undertaken a multiyear, major transformation of an institution. we are working with ambition, with accountability, and with urgency. we've already divested all but one of our international consumer franchises and wandered down those that we couldn't -- we have undertaken a massive reorganization of a company of 240,000 employees and s-- in six months, such that 50,000 people have a different manager than six months ago. it's been major change. we've been

jane mayer is now reporting well over a decade of reports of pete hegseth in the workplace having very serious drinking issues separate and aside from the rape allegation he denies but having to pay off a woman who made that allegation separate and apart from the adultery stuff and all the rest of it, the decade plus reports of workplace drunkenness, that is the sort of thing that there's probably some jobs for which that's not a disqualifying thing, but secretary of defense is not one and that was proven by john tower in 1989 and i think with mr. hegseth it may be proven again here. >> yeah. because unlike hegseth, john tower was on paper fully qualified to be secretary of defense except for the drinking. that was the problem, the entire problem. >> yeah. with hegseth the new thing that's added with the reporting today is in addition to the sexual misconduct stuff, in addition to the drinking stuff, i mean she also describes this veterans organization that he ran that he was put in charge of and by 2007 within a year, 2008, the group was effectively bankrupt under hegseth's leadership

as far as the aside right, jane is concerned and how would you assess at the moment, decides military backing? does the regime stand a chance of fighting back effectively? well, this is uh, the 64000 dollar question, then you would have storage. uh, earlier on that uh it's key is national bank is that bang, russia and around i would have been more likely to have supported it if the siri military had showing a much better type abilities at the moment that i think a collapsing precipitously festival in a lifetime and then in how much they've now withdrawn forces from the east of the country. i'm lucky to concentrate them in the battle, said holmes, and perhaps damascus. and given that neither a rod no rush at which is obviously has it, spike is on the ukraine. neither dies countries feel that the contract the side right. jamie's kind of supplies started a getting less likely to support a side which logistics seller right is potential for that's the middle east analysts, roger shanahan. many thanks. roger. other stories making headlines. police in georgia have fire tear gas and water can

now it's time for a look at today's sport with jane dougall. hi to you,jane. hi to you, jane. football. hello there, sarah. a busy boxing day in the premier league, the late match between liverpool and leicester city is underway, and after 15 minutes, it's1—0 to leicester at anfield. jordan ayew with the goal. earlier, there was a shock in the west london derby. chelsea could have gone within a point of the top of the premier league, but lost to fulham, who scored a last—minute winner at stamford bridge. cole palmer put the home side ahead before substitute harry wilson equalised. then in the 95th minute, rodrigo muniz put the visitors in front to take a first victory at chelsea since 1979. fulham are eighth in the table, and their head coach said it was all for their supporters. football is about connections and connections between football club and fans and players and the staff and the fans. it means for me something really big, but at the end, they are three points and the most important thing for me is for our fans and our players. it's not about me, it's about the fans.

" the first class of medal recipients included the great eb white. years after receiving the metal he received a letter for someone that asked how he maintained faith in humanity and he replied relentless curiosity and inventive ingenuity have led to deep trouble. you can only hope

jane, the early reporting from the washington post about the allegation of sexual assault that he paid in had signed an nda. he said it was consensual and denies sexual assault on his part. you could say, we don't know the truth and it's a serious allegation. it doesn't directly speak to what kind of manager he would be or how he would run an organization. in the case of the reporting you did, you show a lot of concerns from a bunch of people associated with the veterans organization he ran with his management and around women and alcohol. >> that is right. the allegations just keep piling up, really. i think is why his nomination seems tenuous at this point. when i was reporting was there was a whistleblower report, it was written not just by one person, by a group of people who work for him and a group called concerned veterans for america. i have interviewed several of the authors. it's an eight page report. it is really detailed and test dates, places, times, lots of names. 26 people named in it and it describes a picture that is very frequent, serious intoxication on the part of h

i'm jane king. back to all right, jane, thank you very thank you. >> well, on the peninsula, special election is set for next year in san mateo county. all to decide the fate of sheriff christina corpus now the sheriff, as we know, has denied all the allegations made against or she's refused to resign. kron 4 sarah stinson has the latest on the story. >> i checked in with san mateo county voters to see how they're feeling about the supervisors. latest effort to get the sheriff out of office. and it was a mixed bag. some people are not staying up to date on this while others expressed passionate opinions says a lot about that office in that position that there's a lot of >> scandalous things going on. i just really don't think it's fair, light or justify what they're doing to 3 weeks after the release of a scathing report about san mateo county sheriff christina corpus. the board of supervisors now calling on voters to give them the power to remove her. we would never even want to have this type of p

. >> what jane mayer is now reporting is well over a decade of reports of pete hegseth in the workplace having very serious drinking issues separate and aside from the allegation . the decade plus reports of workplace drunkenness . that is the sort of thing, there are probably jobs for which it is not disqualifying but secretary of defense is not one. that was proven by john tower in 1989 i think with mr. hegseth it may be proven again. >> john tower was fully qualified on paper to be secretary of defense except for the drinking. that was the problem. the entire problem. >> with hegseth, the thing that is added, in addition to the sexual misconduct and the drinking, she also describes the veterans organization that he was put in charge of by 2007, within a year, they were effectively bankrupt to the point where had to be taken over and incorporated into a different organization. to do that when you are an organization between 5 to 10 employees and take that as you are application to become a leader of an organization with 3 million employees, it doesn't extrapolate well. >> and there is

jane, last question for you. as you were reporting on this and trying to get comment from hegseth, did you get any indication the trump transition or former president trump himself was aware of these problems in hegseth's past when he was announced, when trump announced him to be the choice for defense secretary? >> i mean it's actually not clear. the lawyer for pete hegseth said that he was -- that he was consulting with the transition team when we asked all these questions, but it's unclear whether pete hegseth came clean on this extraordinary back history in his professional life. and, you know, i mean he certainly -- he certainly did not disclose that there'd been a rape allegation against him and that he'd paid off a woman and signed a national -- you know, an nda, nondisclosure agreement with her in order to keep it secret, so i mean that was definitely not disclosed to the transition team. i mean, as you've been saying i think if nothing else this shows you what a tremendous mistake it is not to do backgro
