kevin: i love technology. had a front row seat to paypal and the great things that happened there. finding the right partner to do this, and we can't leave out renaud, our third cofounder, but it just felt very natural. we were not entirely sure how it would work out, buit is 10 years later, here we are. emily: did you set ground rules, who does what? what happens if we get into a fight? julia: one of the best things we did was find renaud, our cofounding cto, and i like to say the bravest person on the planet. as we started to work together, we had this agreement that we would, first of all, divide and conquer, and that we would also always check in. i was the customer support, marketing, and finance department. kevin was the product department. and renaud was the engineering department. we bootstrapped the company. we were just three founders for two years. emily: why events and ticketing? why did you think that the -- think that was a problem that needed to be solved or had so much potential? was unaddresse

kevin hartz. why did you decide to do it? julia: iave to say that when kevin and i first met, i did not know where this was going to lead. it was part of a two-year-long evolution of getting to know each other and understanding how we might work together. ultimately, we had complementary skills. when you find yourself in that situation and you realize you can be a powerful duo. it is a shame if you don't go for it. emily: you were a tech investor, invested in paypal, founded a company called xoom. kevin: i love technology, i had a front row seat to paypal and what happened there. finding the right partner to do this, and we can't leave out renaud, our third cofounder, it felt very natural. we were not sure how it would work out, but here we are. emily: did you set ground rules, who does what? what happens if we get into a fight? julia: one of the best things we did was find renaud, our cofounder and cto. as we started to work together, we had this agreement that we would divide and conquer, and that we would always check in. i was the

kevin: i am feeling great. i am 100%.gate that this me, oddly, it was a great transition because we had a founder in the building in julia that had this great insight about the business, who has really great perspectives come and she stepped up in an incredibly tough time personally where she really was taking care of me at that point, but also really took the baton and has been fantastic. emily: i know this was a moment for you, julia. there was a vacuum and leadership you had to fill, but also this personal situation in your life you had to deal with it. julia: it is hard for me not to get emotional when we talk about it. it was difficult. themost difficult part was notion that we would not be sitting side-by-side every day. i know that sounds cheesy, but we actually have desks next to each other by then for a whole decade, so that was probably the scariest part. most people we talked to they to we would kill each other. that was the normal for us. that was our normal. i was terrified of what it would do to us as a part

[applause] >> congressman, i agree with kevin of course. ll at some point in time we will have a resolution in some form or another in syria. one of the absolute essentials that america must require is that i ran have no presence in syria as a result of the agreement. [applause] kevin and i will both be supporting as well, sanctions on those who need finance, help support or help further the malign mission of the -- which is really a horse unto itself and we need to treated as such and be very cognizant of the threat that it causes. knowledge israel but the middle east. [applause] >> obviously nothing critical is support for missile defense and other things that the s supplies israel. give us a sense of what the state of support is right now in both the democrat and republican caucuses on those issues. >> i think that we sponsored a resolution some months ago that got essentially unanimous support. for israel and when you speak of missile defense, one of the things that we all made clear was that i ran under the un request should not be test

it seems like it's gone pretty well. >> kevin, i want to ask you.et's turn to the advertisers pulling from laura ingraham's show after she criticized david hogg. might these kids still have the nation's ear when it comes to gun control? >> they definitely have the nation's ear. whether or not they have lawmakers' ear, we'll have to wait and see from a policy standpoint. look. there's been 11 advertisers that have pulled back. she's apologized via twitter for that. to bring it back to roseanne, the thing that is so brilliant about this show is that it's really not taking a political side. it's easter weekend, it's passover. families are going to come together. i come from a politically diversed family. this show talks about how to talk to each other. not just how to talk to each other, but how to listen. i think that's what's interesting here to put it in the laura ingraham angle, we've got to listen to each other and respect one another. >> kevin, thank you so much. julia, great to you both here. that'll do it for me. i'm dara brown. thanks for watc

i am not suggesting at this moment it is necessary. kevinwill you be forced to subpoena him if he is to refuse? rep. lance: that is up to the leadership of the committee but i would favor such action, but i am not suggesting we are there. the 2020, and in particular the question on immigration. your thoughts? rep. lance: i wouldn't put a question on the senses if you are a citizen or not. is the cap everybody in america and is a constitutional dimension. has been in the constitution from the beginning and i want a accurate count as to who is here. shery: also in the news is president trump in ohio talking about infrastructure. you voted on the omnibus bill, and that did not include funding for the gateway tunnel project. why did you vote for it? another 3: there is billion where would be in the running for the great way -- gateway tunnel that benefits the entire east coast. in my judgment the entire nation -- not just new york and new jersey. i was pleased there was funding in the bill and i will fight for more funding. shery: these are poli

kevin hartz. you founded a company at the same time that you were planning a wedding together. that is a big risk for a future husband and wife. why did you decide to do it? julia: i have to say that when kevin and i first met, i did not know where this was actually going to lead. and it was part of a two-year-long evolution of getting to know each other and understanding how we might work together. ultimately, we had complementary skills. and so, when you find yourself in that situation, you realize you can be a powerful duo, i think it is a shame if you don't go for it.

off,t to introduce first kevin, i will start with you, in terms of questions. if you could define your role at the newspaper, when i come to you in your questions. kevin, you are a photographer. i understand, you were one of the first on the scene at the shooting. when did you decide you were there as an observer, versus an --erver i had it was difficult, to balance the two. i had to see my friends, see everyone else from my school them through the process just as they were helping me. i had to be there as a journalist to take photos. in a way, it helped me escape from the reality of it. when did you arrive on the scene? kevin: it was after school, we had a student only vigil. take photos, be as considerate as i can for my fellow students. journalists,al they have a sense of anonymity. where is everyone knows i am from the school taking photos of other students. guess. to be reserved, i i was there for the vigil the next day and at night the next day. and a couple days later i went to the school itself and took some photos. emma and rebecca, you are both editor

kevin: i think you are already seeing that, shery.se committee services chairman urging the white house to back off of this. what is interesting is that the congressional leaders in the republican party directly dealing with this policy are opposed to it. in addition, there are lobbying factions here inside the beltway. that said, the battle is somenuing onward, with really raising the stakes here and saying this is something they want done. earlier today, i spoke with former trump campaign advisor harry bumgarner, who was working with the u.s. and china partner on this, and they suggested that carveouts are potentially on the table, so that when the final policy is an active. the speaker seems pretty intent on imposing the tariffs. paul ryan come according to people familiar with the matter, the word that he can convince the president to do otherwise. can he? kevin: internationally, the response has been fast and furious, the chinese calling it "a stupid idea," the eu saying they want to file a complaint with the wto, edit congress,

four hours people here in moscow will be heading to the polls a special coverage began earlier with kevin i. reporting from my studio in red square. high old city in moscow the time just before the big election a welcome to our special coverage of the russian presidential election forthcoming live from the heart of the russian capital here as you can see over my shoulder in the iconic red square to the few people on the boat walking around despite this hour russian citizens from the eleven time zones of the costing there are votes on sunday as they make their choice for the candidate will take the kremlin's top job because for the next six she is at a moment election silence is being observed to give people twenty four hours to. think it through thinking the one a vote for that means campaigning a stop to news coverage of the candidates and the manifesto says north however close on sunday evening we can't talk about that but we can tell you about who's vying for the russian presidency and we can tell you about the people who are going to go out in the many many many many thousands hundreds

with this news bulletin there it's twenty eight hundred minutes past nine at night moscow time i'm kevin i was reminding you. with more the two big stories of the day and check it out as well twenty four seven for all our latest. time after time as it were going on the ground three years to the day that british backed saudi bombers began to drop on yemen leaving thousands of civilians killed and tens of millions of people in need of humanitarian aid in the poorest country in the middle east coming up on the show three years on why is the british on the war in yemen still barely making the headlines we speak to the regional director of unicef middle east north africa here about the burying of the world's worst humanitarian crisis and does the largest ever higher education strike in british history mean no u.k. graduates in twenty eighteen professor julian style of russia london's renowned court talks to us about the liberal blog of education and teaching will ask is outside the club plus. we speak to the pirate radio d.j. played by philip seymour hoffman in the book the wrong about breaking

kevin. more than 6 million americans have already received a tax cut bonus or a pay raise and that is just the beginning. iant to thank everyone who made this incredible victory possible including so many friends that work with kevin and myself, people in congress, great senators, great congresspeople, you are really incredible, so enjoy it because we are going to start probably on monday with kevin and myself and everybody on doing it again. i just want to thank you and on behalf of paul and kevin and my other kevin, i don't know, i think brady is better looking. [laughter] we really are, i have to think the people in this room because you really made it possible and you worked hard and you wouldn't stop and he wouldn't take no for an answer. a lot of obstacles, you wouldn't take no for an answer, while republicans were fighting to reduce taxes for hardworking americans, the democrats were fighting to increase taxes. that's what they want to do. they're saying how do you lose fat? how do you increase taxes? maybe they'll call that tax reform. [laughter] every single democrat and congress opposed our middl

. >> kevin, i know you love this woman. eva is the definition of working mom to be. ll the things that come with the first pregnancy. we saw you with the fries. any other cravings. >> i don't have cravings. i have the opposite of cravings. i don't like chicken right now. i used to eat chicken daily. my husband ordered that and i'm like why did you do that. >> celebrity baby names. will you go classic or crazy? you can do a regular name, sarah or a gwyneth name, apple, chicago. >> no. we are mexican. we're very traditional. it will be a long name. >> eva's baby boy is due this spring. she and her husband jose baston have a problem. the beverly hills house they bought is still being remodeling. >> i keep telling my husband if this baby is born and i don't have a house i will kill you. pregnancy is not slowing her down. she showed us her spring line on hsn. >> she has no filter. >> i run out of breath. the baby is pressing on my diaphragm. >> she's super fun. >> all wined up and ready to go. i'm not drinking right now, but i will soon. i will be back to the bottle. >> as

kevin: i wonder about how your profession will be used to incarcerate more people possibly political enemies of the guest: if in that state people are mandated to report people who are voicing a threat toward someone else, which is in a way what that is, the they are cyst go s going to think, if one of these thousands of people go on to commit a crime, i'm going to be liable and so what we see in states that have mandatory reporting for better or worse, is dramatic overreporting of people who go to see mental health practitioners to federal and state systems in that regard.

alix: kevin, i want to wrap it up talking about a broader bank story. any help from the yield curve and financials, but it has to come from deregulation down in d.c. we could see rollbacks of dodd-frank coming this week or next. what areas of financials has the most upside? kevin: i think that traditional lending has a good deal of upside particularly as you are looking at a lot of loan books that are tied to short-term rates, and a short-term rates rise, that would probably benefit commercial lending and that kind of thing. the other thing we are seeing is very strong continued data on the economy. the unemployment figure looks good. toactivity continues accelerate, higher short-term rates would be good for those lenders tighten short rates. jenny and kevin, both of you thank you very much. mark mobius will be joining us. his take on emerging markets, plus how he has invested in china. this is bloomberg. ♪ david: mark mobius has been investing in emerging markets around the world for years now and has one about every award in the industry. after headin

kevin: i also want to welcome on bloomberg radio. we are joined by the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin. i want to start now by comments made earlier by yourself and secretary ross, that there could potentially be, if the president and next a tax -- tariff proposal, and exemption for another country. what would the president have to do to qualify? steve: he has artie declared that it relates to mexico and canada. to the extent that we have a new nafta agreement with them, they will be exempted from the steel and limited tariffs. i'm not going to comment on other countries, that would be premature, but canada, we have a close relationship in terms of steel, going back and forth, and that is something we are focused on. to thewith regards timing of the announcement, is it logical to think we could get the output this week? steve: that is the plan, yes. could be as early as tomorrow or friday, we are working to get the finishing documents on this. -- kevin:hen you look when you look at the response from the people around the world , the

could i now watch a kevin spacey film and not be troubled, knowing what i know about him? that maybe, yes, the integrity of the film doesn't suffer from what we know about the man. but i would assert it all the more in the case of writers. yes, unless, isuppose, it implies tacit approval on our part, if we continue to read their work, watch the films etc? yeah, i think we can like the work and condemn the person for their actions in their private life. but the art, the work, it does, for me, always stand a little apart from the life. there's another line in the book where the poet says there's no point being a poet now, if you're white, middle—aged, middle—class and english, you are a dinosaur. i did just wonder if there are white, middle—class, young english male poets watching this, you telling them to give up now? no, i certainly wouldn't do that. you have to allow for the particular guy who is saying this, rob, who's just got to that point of becoming a grumpy old man. he feels a bit sidelined. he's had enormous success early in his career, and now he looks around and

expect that the president is having a little bit of fun with this, but worth keeping an eye on. >> kevin, ieard you chuckle, what about the president for life bid? >> hey, they love president xi, whether or not people should like him is not something i will comment on. but he's having fun. you know, it's interesting, i would just note that i believe, if i'm recalling correctly, that the former president obama had also made several jokes about potentially doing a third term in office. but michelle obama would not let him. so i guess it's something that presidents just ruminate on for quite some time. >> and looking ahead, kevin, how does the white house pick up the pieces after this roller coaster week? >> this is a big week for them. on the issue of trade, i think we'll be talking more about trade over the next couple of days because the president is headed to southwest pennsylvania less than a week on saturday. joe biden, potential 2020 contender is in the region this week in the first half as well. this is a special election heading up in just a couple weeks in early, two weeks, march 13t

i don't care to name them. kevin: if you care to name them, let me know. i appreciate that.k you very much, that was great. rick perry is speaking in houston giving the suggestion there might be changes on the way. this is bloomberg. ♪ shery: this is "bloomberg markets: balance of power" diane shery ahn. david: it is one of the biggest gatherings of the year on energy, and our concerns of steel and aluminum on the agenda as well, and we welcome managing editor from bloomberg was covering. i understand that perry make interesting comments, intriguing comments. what did he say? >> he has a difficult audience of the 4000 people gathered in euston for the weeklong conference. nobody so far has that anything positive about the potential tariffs. so the secretary said today as he doesn't think the president necessarily has made up his mind on the issue, which is something executives hear what love to hear. address a the price of transporting oil around the nation. shery: to talk about energy exports visibly? >> he gave a vague answer that talk about unintended consequences. is not

kevin: i tend to subscribe to the wisdom of crowds.hen everybody got on that side of the trade, 3% yield on the 10-year coming. it is an automatic slamdunk guarantee. at that point i am like, this could turn. it just needs something to help it. eric: sentiment matters in markets. >> most recent action in the 10 year treasury is more of a flight to safety. a flight to quality. in terms of the most recent move below the 2.8 level. michael: quite frankly, i think there is a pain trade down to 2.64%. i think people have to be aware of that. andrew: with risk assets looking full in terms of valuation, we think bonds look reasonable here. fund, youlity bond might get 4% to 5% yield. that looks pretty reasonable. jonathan: joining me around the table is greg peters, jim keenan, plus, kathleen gaffney. kathleen, i want to begin with you. i have asked many investors a couple of weeks ago when we , break out of this race for treasury, where we break out to? someone say to the upside and then we break down to the downside in a significant way. wh

center, especially as they try to push infrastructure which is next on the horizon for them. >> kevin, i want to go back to this. as allie pointed out the russian indictments are similar people. ax yoes is reporting that andrew mccabe is now a witness in the russian investigation, has already met with robert mueller. what about his dismissal, do you think it's an attempt to discredit him as a witness in the russia probe but that could be a whole other problem. >> when you talk to folks connected with this white house they suggest this is a president who has been frustrated with andrew mccabe for quite some time and even attorney general jeff sessions. for the attorney general to do this just two days before he was qualifying for benefits is clearly a sign that he was trying to at least maybe potentially win over some points with the president in the sense that he was trying to get that type of the timing of this down. you know, speculation aside, i think the facts matter here and the facts are that this is an administration who has for quite some time tried to put this investigation behi

kevin: infrastructure again. ist count of how many times it has been infrastructure weak. -- infrastructure week. i can tell you they want to get something of that done. lower of provident -- lou ure of private investment. gauge long-term strategy, i am looking at what type of democrats are likely going to get elected should something like the house of representatives get flipped in the midterms. centrist democrats, if a wave of them are part of that majority, they are not likely to back impeachment and that would mean other policy items such as unity banking, regulatory relief or even additional tax reform tweaks might be able to get done or something like gse reform right after the midterms and that is what we are looking at. senator doug jones, the democrat who won in alabama is very different than senator elizabeth warren. vonnie: the president still has steve mnuchin and wilbur ross as well, front and center. , regardless folks of what people think of their style, on substance, they are much more in line with

i think it tips at r.t. dot com twenty four seventh's for the moscow is kevin owen same thanks for watching . i.

news for the next twenty four forty eight hours at least macare and kevin i would will be here as those results come in and hearing what's happening live at the ag quarters of each of the i can but for now take a look at red square this sunday the eighteenth of march election day here in ash. and of course we're keeping a close eye on events for you throughout the day now in other news thousands of people are expected to flee the militant controlled syrian enclave on sunday nearly seventy thousand civilians have already left the area through russia's sponsored evacuation routes since the army launched its operation against militants the region there the maskers has seen by far its biggest exodus of civilians. left on my record and what they need in their houses of civilians are living good right now by the humanitarian character you can see behind me the passage has been recently opened by syrian forces it's allowing crowds of civilians many of them are children to leave them battle area. to roost use people's human shields they wouldn't let us fully they hid behind our backs we wanted

thanks kevin i really was speechless after hearing your your report a really. difficult for me to come and have to be doctor and shrink stories of survivors and their kids. really. but unfortunately this isn't considered as a national disaster for russia and disk a lot of children are built out you see some of the photos over here don't have been to church but just stories our hearts are as you indices it true example. look probably pretty high can sequence accident back to equality in my business and typically for this type of thing to try to catastrophic disasters an accident there is not one single fact or daughter multitude of causes and as was the case in the case of cho not be alone there accident or major disasters that i investigated this unfortunately was a unfortunate it was a perfect storm their very problems with the very years and controlled make any sense that existed all the way from government their vocal cords and regulations installation and then operation and inspection that's what i would say that like i did natural disasters national disast

call most news updates so far with me kevin i would agree but with more in just about thirty minutes time for most. i don't. want to do with. the new miss on my no. no no. that had four of them but let's run through to ten of them they can use with the. oh. yes.

national poll the latest headlines michael a kevin i when will be with you at the top of the hour. oh good for the love love love oh. oh oh oh it's going to go to the focus that. both of. you. with more make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. of the real news is. there's an issue probably the only issue the unites many of the most powerful individuals surrounding donald trump and the issue is hostility directed at the ranch there is every reason to believe these same people will translate their hostility into even military action the war cabinet is mobilizing. greetings and salutations spring is here hark watchers as we grow into some. or you can feel a great energy charge in the air you saw in action over the weekend as roughly eight hundred thousand protesters took to the streets of washington d.c. demanding an end to the uniquely u.s. nightmare school shootings and gun related violence but as the old saying goes the more
