the clerk is john carol, and i would also like to thank sfgovtv for staffing the meeting. i want to say one thing before we start and hear our first item. i have just come from the ruth asawa school of the arts, where i was there with the mayor, and i think we should all be filled with pride for our young people in this city today. they are marching -- lying in, i guess is what they're calling it at my daughter's school -- all against gun violence. and the performances we saw at the school of the arts, i still have tears in my eyes. they are such products of our san francisco values. i -- you know, to me, i think what happens in san francisco, you learn to walk, then you learn to bike, then you learn to march, and these kids are ready to march, and this is going to be the generation, i believe, that carries the baton on for the rest of us that have been fighting all our lives for social justice, equity, human rights. this gun violence has motivated them, in washington, from the attacks on our muslim brothers and sisters, the immigrant community. this severely impacts the k

so carol lee, dowd -- putting all of this together and it appears john dowd resigned because he wasn'tthe president wasn't agreeing with his advice which was not to speak to robert mueller. >> yes. that is exactly right. and among other things people have told us he was just generally unhappy about the addition of digenova to the president's legal team and felt that was layering him and designed to push him out and basically that president wasn't listening to him and wasn't listening to his legal advice and so now we've been told that all of this whole shake-up, as you outlined very well, is aimed at this decision that they have to make about a presidential interview and as we saw from the president's today, he really wants to do one. and he has people around him who want him to fight and that is where his instincts are. and so i think we are -- our understanding is there is a number -- the shake-up is not complete. there is still some other possible additions, maybe some subtractions to the team and that it is all in preparation for this possible really critical moment in the investig

carol: dubai is headed up. julia: all of that on "bloomberg businessweek." ♪ julia: we are back with "bloomberg businessweek" editor johnenty of must reads, but i want to help in on the remarks section, and some moves we saw from the chinese president in his ongoing consolidation of power. john: what has happened is china has removed term limits for its president. basically, we have a president who is extremely powerful, has done some amazing things from a reforms dan point, and you will see him as the face of the company for potentially years. julia: xi jinping could be president for many years if this goes through. joel: a lifetime. julia: in terms of democracy and economic reforms, he has been trying to make changes. joel: it does not feel like democracy, but it does speak to a lot of the reform he has been able to pull off, and his consolidation of power will probably help him continue to do that. it provides stability. that is a theme in global politics right now, strongman motif that becomes as democracy seems to have scaled back, we see a strong men enter. we have seen that in russia and china. julia: i believe h

with my colleagues ashley parker and carol leneg that the president wanted to announce this firing in a tweet on friday which was saturday time in africa. remember, john kelly called rex tillerson while he was asleep in nairobi at about 2:00 in the morning or so saturday morning to wake him up to let him know the president was mad, his days may be numbered and a hint for him to get back to washington and take care of this. meanwhile, the president wanted to tweet that tillerson was fired and kelly appealed to him, to vin convinced him not to do so, it would be more appropriate to let the secretary of state come back to the united states and depose him while he's here on domestic soil. >> air it babarely sounds like story you hear in american politics. remarkable. let me read something that caught my eye. "the quickest way to get fired by donald trump isn't misuse of taxpayer funds, domestic violence or land iying, it's stg up to putin." here are the comments we referenced in the beginning of our show. tillerson on russia yesterday after the white house refused to implicate russia in that attack in the poisoning of former russian spies living in the uk

john bolton. and it certainly came as a surprise to h.r. mcmaster. carol lee is going to have for us just in a moment where kelly stands on all of this which i think is on very shaky ground because it appears donald trump thinks that he can do this job himself. that he can represent himself, that he can be his chief of staff, and that he can bring in voices that really back up his extreme views or his immature views as it pertains to foreign policy and representing our country on the world stage and the bigger question, is he wants to be backed up, some would argue on whether or not he should fire bob mueller and the question is, are we one step closer to that? and michael schmidt, you have reporting on the latest attorney to leave the team. what does that indicate to you? >> this indicates that dowd is out, john dowd, who had led the president's team since last summer. >> that happened hours before mcmaster was out. >> correct. and dowd was someone who was telling the president something he did not want to hear. he was telling the president, you should no

johns, all ofr this peppered through offices. they also go name checking all of these restaurants and places throughout new york that aren't necessarily tourist spots or things anyone outside of new york circles would understand. carolthat "billions" takes up where "sex and the city" left off. >> it related. it was -- really did. it was so crazy. use the city line new , york is a character. it really is. jason: what would be the magnolia bakery for billions? [laughter] carol: daniel -- is in there, right? >> there is a cameo that some might have mixed reviews of. >> is the show good? is it keeping up with previous seasons. >> i would say that the second season was better than the first. i'm not sure i can say that about the third series and -- season, because people have gotten tired. these are long episodes. they are hour-long episodes. there is only so much mano a mano that can happen between the two main protagonists. they are played by damien lewis and paul giamatti. damien lewis is a high profile hedge fund billionaire. paul giamatti is a u.s. attorney bent on taking him down. there is this personal grudge match that happens over and over. carol: it is like enough, move it on. >> in the third season, they step

carol, let me bring you back into this discussion. we're following this breaking news as we're also tracking this very remarkable meeting that's happening right now at the pentagon. the incoming national security adviser johnlton is meeting for the very first time with defense secretary jim mattis. the two clash on a range of issues. but not necessarily on russia, right? >> they're a little bit more in line with each other on russia and, you know, bolton is more at odds with the president, frankly, on russia issues. so that will be an interesting thing to see play out. you know, they obviously are putting forward a very collegiate front in front of the cameras. they'll probably have a more candid conversation privately about these different issues. whether it's north korea or iran. that they do disagree on. you know, secretary mattis has -- bolton's coming in and he's the national security adviser. he is steps from the oval office. he will be very close to the president. close proximity. however, mattis has the experience of working under trump. and that could be of value to bolton in their conversation. >> aaron, one of the things that strikes me about these two men who are now going to work in very close

john heielman. and president of the council of foreign relations and author of the book "a world in disarray," richard haas. and national political reporter for nbc news bringing more news this morning, carol lee and it seems almost certain the president's day long silence was prompted by stormy daniels last sunday on "60 minutes." there are new details for her lawyer to question president trump for two hours. plus, how 56 words may have stumped president trump's position. it all stems from a sound byte we played yesterday. it's the attorney's attorney. i don't foe why they let him talk. we'll dig into that straight ahead. >> what we're talking about there, i've got to go back to donald trump's speech buzz it is so fascinating and you're an ad guy, it's so fashion nating that donald trump's punch lynn is what are we going to do? we're going to build the wall. nobody's going to pay for the wall, but donald trump is trying to to get the united states marine corps, the united states navy, the men and women in the army, the national guard to actually have money stripped out of their accounts to build a wall that nobody wants but he goes out there and he has the audacity to say we've got this b

given that john cummings was interested in cambridge broadly, his more work -- what did don cummings know and why did he use data cute --regate a aggregate iq and scl group? to her credit, carol at "the guardian" has been raising these questions for a year now. appropriateould be for your committee and other committees to start raising these questions as well. what was happening and why were these countries -- these companies chosen? >> this is fascinating. a lot of the things have come out in evidence. it sounds to me as the different names of things are trying to confuse what is going on here. not by you, though by the companies in the way of being set up. aiq was being paid for work, do forthink they were working a common cause for a common result or were they working , separately? christopher wylie: before i --wer, are you referring to which common plan are you referring to? >> the various leave companies. christopher wylie: got it. my -- let me say i supported -- leave. despite having pink hair and a nose ring, i am a progressive skeptic and i don't believe in the current brexit plan. -- foreak as somebody me, this is not about remain or leave, is about the integrity of

carol will be here with the weather shortly. we should have a look at salford quays this morning because that's where sport relief is coming today and this weekend. johnches, from 11am, 12 hours solid, what a test of endurance! and shay given, who is the former republic of ireland goalkeeper, he's taking part ina ireland goalkeeper, he's taking part in a non—stop penalty shootout again for 12 hours, members of the public will come down and have the chance to ta ke will come down and have the chance to take a penalty against him all in aid of sport relief, which, since 2002 when it launched, has raised £330 million for the vulnerable across the uk and abroad. we will be speaking to robbie and sam kwek, who is on his team, in a moment. only one place to start with this morning, though! to england's cricketers, and what chance of them restoring some pride, at least, after that dreadful start to the first test against new zealand. well, not much at the moment, the home side had extended their lead to 171 when play was interrupted by rain, three wickets forjimmy anderson, new zealand now 229—4. the home side extended their lead before rain interrupted play
