mr. solomon. bloomberg terminal here because i want to show you what is happening in terms of the a's banking function -- i-banking function. i am going to put this up very quickly because in terms of trading, we know how this has been happening over the past few years with volatility falling, which of course means less opportunities. the back and forth of this is that mr. blankfein liked the fact that mr. solomon doubled down on risk-taking as well as -- versus other banks, but as for mr. schwartz, he was a less averse to that. we spoke to mike mayo and he had a bit more to say in terms of why mr. solomon was a pick. take a listen. >> his strength is on the investment banking side. the revenues of goldman sachs were down 20%, but the revenues for his area in banking were up 10%. so he is heading the area with good growth. one of the best corporate rolodex is around. ramy: it basically seems like it comes down to kindred spirits. what do investors want? they want profit. that is why mr. solomon in

solomon,gards to mr.s of the most profitable, the most profitable division. that would be the investment banking division. as for mr. schwartz, he was the x cfo for the past four years. lost andow that he has will be moving on. mr. blankfein, we are wondering whether he will step down sooner or later. some analysts are positing that maybe he might step down sometime next year. the reason for that is that it would be the 150th anniversary of goldman sachs. so that could be quite pointed. david: the next question i guess we have to ask is what does david solomon bring that harvey schwartz does not? ramy: i mentioned he was head of the investment banking division. looking at the investment banking division revenue and profit -- let's hop into the bloomberg journal -- terminal. you can see, over the past several quarters, we see a rise in terms of positivity. to see the white areas, 2008 2011. that is a thing of the past. a lot of analysts and people are saying, look, he did a really good job for most of the

mr. solomon. next speaker, please. >> yee wen, followed by charles did defarge. >> good afternoon. my name is yee, and i'm here to support the bike lane on 8th street. recently, the city introduced an electric bicycle sharing service. i'm very grateful for this because i was able to buy a bike for the first time -- an electric bike for the first time in my life, and i feel like i can go anywhere in the city on a bike. however, there is a problem. it can be very dangerous riding on streets for some of them south of market streets. i find that drivers tend to underestimate the presence and space of electric bicycle riders and myself had several near crash experiences because of this. not even to mention how dangerous it could be for those who just started riding bicycles in the urban environment because of the presence of the e-bikes. those foreign visitors who are not familiar with the traffic laws, traffic rules in the city, and seniors, riders who are more vulnerable to vehicle traffic. 8th street is a major but dangerous north to south corridor for bicycle riders. with the presen

mr. solomon. but plaintiff -- fails to provide a manageable standard for evaluating partisan gerrymandering for three reasons. to answer they perennial question of how much is too much politics in a redistricting process this court has called inherently political. >> i don't know. he says not all. says it is too much if that is all you are doing. that is basically if i read his argument. if that is all you are doing, then is too much. under that sense he might lose because you are claiming there were other reasons for this. that is an issue of fact. you have some damning evidence that it might not have been. you have your own mayor saying -- governor -- mr. sullivan: used to be my governor. -- mayor. jus. kagan: he felt duty-bound to ensure his party won. there are basically statements to that effect here. so that gives you a standard. you may not like it, but it does give you a standard. mr. sullivan: two things, one is elsewhere in the brief, plaintiffs disavow they have to show how much is too

mr. mayo: we have to learn more about david solomon. on one hand come it's the best growth engine of goldman sachs, it has done fantastic over the last decade. on the other hand, that is still well less than one third of the company. he is going to have to get his arms around the other two thirds plus. there are the stories you have seen. he's a dj and he goes by dj dsol in theing records caribbean. that's an interesting side of someone who is going to be ceo of a financial firm. vonnie: getting the good digs. whateverstion, at solomonoyd leaves and takes over, if all of the things were equal and we were given the , would youis now change either a price target or reading -- rating? mr. mayo: we are bullish and they are poised to outperform. no matter if it was still lloyd blankfein or david solomon, we think goldman sachs succeeds -- expectations.gs they didn't want all this present uncertainty. that's not the way to do ceo succession, so they made a decision -- hunger it's like the games. vito assigned to presidents and now say one is

mr. blankfine made his exit. and that, of course, important to the likes of a david solomon or a mr.chwartz because they're not youngsters themselves so you do want to at least know you're going to be in the job for some time before you yourself are hitting the early to mid 60s and perhaps are considered to be retirement candidate. i'd love to make a couple calls as well and get more sense >> we're not ready for the commercial break yet so you're going to have to wait. there is a very different path than jamie dimon, right? two leaders making very different decisions. >> yeah. and j.p. morgan you had a succession of exits by people who are once anticipated to potentially be the successor to mr. dimon. of course, can you always look at an organization as large as j.p. morgan and identify the people that would step n this would be a very significant move and you could argue perhaps in some ways a bit sooner than some anticipated. again, looking at the totality of the entire tenure, not unexpected >> mike? >> want to bring in mike santolli you've been covering this spags for a long time

at the university of michigan mr call real pleasure to have you with us on al-jazeera and on the set so i know that you have said that the crown prince mohammed bin solomon visiting egypt is like trump going to you know the results that he owns why is that egypt really is by now a wholly owned subsidiary of saudi arabia after the twenty thirteen who the saudis the united arab emirates and kuwait have put in on the order of thirty billion dollars in investments and gifts and loans to the egyptian regime so that is a lot of investment in egypt just yesterday we had the announcement by the top court in egypt giving away these two islands in the red sea strategically important islands to nod and sign off aid to egypt what else is egypt getting out of all of this investment in saudi getting out of this investment. the saudis did get those islands that they have a claim on them going back but they've been egyptian territory for as long as anybody can think. they also have gotten egypt security help egypt however has been a little bit difficult for the saudis in some areas it hasn't been enthusiastic about the war in yemen which is one of the major projects of

mr. attorney general, do your job and fix the mess you created! and also tonight, another damning report about james comey's incompetence and his highly questionable conduct while leading the f.b.i. friend john solomon reporting the long-time head of the f.b.i. telecommunications surveillance unit is saying that he warned james comey about how that particular spy program was dangerously ineffective in catching terrorists. comey never tried to fix it. that's why obama was warned about russian collusion and influence on our elections. it did nothing. it laughed at the idea. here's what the retired special agent told john solomon. take a look. >> i believe that the program as it was was ripe for potential abuses. regardless of how it's abused, but it could be. and frankly, i see what has been happening in the last year and a half, and that just proves the point that this program could be abused and that it would not be used for the purposes it was intended for. >> hannity: all right a lot to get into tonight. here with reaction, fox news contributor jason, fox news reporter sara, and from the hill, we welcome back john solomon. sara, let's start with you. let's start with mccabe. let's start with a spe

solomon a little bit when he segued to bear stearns for a couple of years. either one of these men are competent to run the bank. it's a good time for mr.lankfein to leave i mean, he stewarded them through the crisis, done a reasonable job, if you understand how much the central banks have hurt the trading side of the business for all of wall street god, i wish he would go to washington i think the president may need some help. so - >> i don't think the president -- i mean, he does -- he says he likes conflict in dispute, but based on lloyd's tweets, i don't know if the president will bring him in. >> just wait i think donald trump's smart enough to put smart people around him and having lloyd blankfein and public life for a few years might not be a bad thing for the country. >> i mean, goldman sachs is a real throwback to the way wall street used to be. other institutions on wall street have grown, expanded, gone in different directions goldman hasn't done that is it time they can do that or can they continue to thrive the way they are >> that's a very important question, bill you know, blankfein, the longest tenured since sidney wineb

solomon. are there other outsiders? john winkle reed, should they look at him. stopgap measure, david vinyar. there are scenarios. >> let me ask you, mright now? let's say lloyd, he's not doing it, but he announces right this second i'm done, i'm finished, i'm going to the beach and you are now the king of goldman sachs. you have to decide what to do. >> let me make it crystal clear, we are very bullish on goldman sachs regardless of who is ceo we think earnings exceed this year and next year we're not buying into the consumer strategy. we give them zero credit we don't care as long as it's lloyd blankfein, harvey -- >> i'm asking you to make a choice you come on the set often times trying to talk a ceo out of a company. which one do you choose? >> harvey schwartz, david solomon, only been a little over a year that they've been co-president i'd like to have a longer track record before we pick one over the other. >> if lloyd were to stay for a year or two, would you be happy with that? >> long as goldman's earnings pick up. if gold man has earnings like they did in the fourth quarter of last year, i'm not sure this is as much lloyd's
