peter: except around children. i think you do april job of showing how jackson around kids could connect the way he cannot connect with adults. that sense that he had lost as a child. dr. robertson: he would be arrested if he was around a child as a pervert. it was not that at all. he had this overriding love of children. he wanted every child he met to feel his love for them, to know a feeling he himself had never known. here is this great warrior on , and this loving father figure of children on the other. that --he things peter: one of the things that you dispute is when historians claim jackson was a historic -- a religious zealot. they see it in jackson's face, intensity, it orders on extremism. dr. robertson: i objected the word sell it because it -- zealo t because he never tried to push his own faith on others. questioning his faith is like visiting switzerland and never seeing the outs. -- alps. everything he did revolved around his love of god. it was when he finally found a home in the presbyterian faith

would be no mueller investigation without peter strzok. he was instrumental as the lead investigator and was certainly behind of the collision with fusion gps. the fisa court documents and all that, is a senior official in the fbi. the ig concluded that maybe some of his activity was impacted by his animus to president trump or, then candidate trump. he should have been nowhere near either the clinton or the trump investigations and the president tweeted, we have to reopen the investigation because of people like peter peter strzok, and we to shut down the mall or investigation. >> you are the one who gets up documents before other people and you heard bret baier's talk about lisa page's testimony not matching up with what peter strzok said. have you heard that and how do you eventually get access to that? >> it's up to congress to release that testimony. that's why we have to sue in court the agencies directly to get some of the documents that congress has looked at privately but won't release publicly, or in the case of testimony, malt r

the apostle peter is martyrdom on the vatican hill is one of them. it marks the dramatic climax of a religious legend but as one of the most powerful stories in church tradition. some one and a half centuries later a magnificent basilica was erected on the vatican hill of the sign believed to be the very spot where peter was buried. peter's basilica is a monument to the apostle and one of the holiest catholic shrine. in the counter goes deep below the church lies an ancient roman graves a veritable city of the dead in which according to legend in jesus's first apostle simon peter was buried. fiat's adult football one of rome's grand squares in the middle ages it was believed to be haunted by demons and evil spirits because it harbored the remains of the most barbarous man who ever walked the earth nero. in the twelfth century anyone entering the eternal city from the via flammini or would have caught sight of the family tomb of the don't need to be near as family. and it was here that nero lived on in the imagination of the people of rome long after

lisa: so, peter strzok. if he had not insert himself in the way he did, is the bridge between two investigations and helps withhold certain information and push another narrative, would we have this special counsel? in other words, what is the direct link between peter strzok and robert mueller 's investigation? >> no, i think anybody who is looking honestly at what has come out of the text messages, i know we have all these congressional hearings. there's been documentation out about peter strzok specifically and what he was saying and what his thoughts were at the time. this all goes to mindset. if this were a criminal trial real look at this and say this goes to motive. he is an individual that clearly hated donald trump. who happened to be -- how many people, kennedy, would be in a position to perhaps, derail a trump election where then stop a trump presidency? you can count them on one hand. he happened to be one of those people. lisa: he was one of the fingers. how many fingers have been chopped off? >

first apostle simon peter was buried. be out said del popolo one of rome's grand squares in the middle ages it was believed to be haunted by demons and evil spirits because it harbored the remains of the most barbarous man who ever walked the earth nero. in the twelfth century anyone entering the eternal city from the via flammini i would have caught sight of the family tomb of the domi de niro's family. and it was here that nero lived on in the imagination of the people of rome long after the fall of the empire the ravens roosting in a walnut tree on the side of his remains were said to be demons in the service of nero. out of fear that nero himself could rise as a demon from hell pope a sky the second had the tree cut down the tomb opened and nero sarcophagus removed then a church was built over nero's family muscly of. arrows remains lie beneath its altar. a church to seal off neuros grave to banish him to the depths of the earth for all eternity. strong christian symbolism is designed to put an end to the superstition

if peter thiel was r? doth not a journalistic point of view the 20 happen. i wanted, to me being some outside the journalistic establishment this just read to me like epic history. this is the kalamata crystal, something that this is some story come what many anecdotes from cornelius vanderbilt life with us almost a shakespeare play today. i wanted to tell it more as history, less as judgment i think the shame of the reporting on this has been that because it's a current event everyone has said the need of a very strong opinion about it at a i think that's missed a larger picture which this is just epic and almost unreal. >> did you find yourself sympathizing more with one or the other? >> i went into it not having a super great opinion about gawker. gawker. a bit about gawker a number of times. i watched the case unfold so i saw why the jury made the decision that it made. i thought i would in it at much less sympathetic to them that ultimately did. you can't talk to, like when i visited nick at his house

here and peter let's start with you the good not long ago some experts we reported here peter that said that germany could go into a recession as early as this june well as they saying not dead yet the second quarter growth for the country is surprised and pleased many peter what's the latest. well certainly not dead in fact alive and kicking is the german economy it's performed better than it had been expected for the second quarter of twenty eighteen posting growth of zero point five percent to g.d.p. that's up all of what the full cost is had predicted for the second quarter which was zero point four percent what that means is we're now looking at around two point three percent growth for the whole of twenty eighteen and in fact they're predicting that growth will continue through into twenty nineteen where we could see a further two point one percent growth of g.d.p. now they say well those numbers in fact well above the average growth levels full of the german economy over the last ten years so everything as you say looking well would be an understatement it's looking fairly rosy f

so scott morrison australia's new prime minister any surprises there peter. well what this constitutes is that nothing nothing has been settled within the liberal party this began this instability and this challenge to the prominent they are going for the former prime minister is not going to move again as an uprising by the conservative faction of the party to remove turnbull who was considered to be a moderate not a genuine part of the party and had to be expelled but in his place the liberal party has now elected by a reasonably now imagine. a man who is not considered to be part of the conservative core is a man who has been threatened with dire repercussions from the conservative faction and his followers who collected him have also been confronted with dire. threats of a tradition from the conservative group which as we saw today had forty. out of eighty five sides so not a majority but enough to continue the eternal insurrection that has plagued this government brought down this prime minister stabilize the national government has made the public unset

this isn't over for peter strzok. i think his lawyers plan to appeal this and fight this in court. >> understood. so president's lawyer rudy giuliani going to that part of the investigation and seemed to contradict himself on whether the president asked james comey to drop the flynn investigation. he's said in the past that trump asking comey to drop it, it is okay. have a listen to how he explained it then. >> how's he a good witness for the president saying that the president was asking him, directing him in his words to let the michael flynn investigation go? >> he didn't direct him to do that. what he said is can you give -- >> so there giuliani said all he said is can he give him a break? he's telling cnn that trump never said that to comey in the first place at all. >> there was no conversation about michael flynn. we maintain the president didn't say that. >> so on the one hand he says, listen, all he was saying is can you cut the guy some slack? now he never said anything to him at all about michael flynn. wha

peter strzok is really at the center of them. just before we came out here, i was seeing on twitter and social media the response from a lot of trump allies. they are taking this as a scalp, that they won here. i do think it's going to be incumbent on chris wray to come out and give a fuller accounting of what happened here. >> and peter strzok's lawyer, he doesn't like this at all. the president did just tweet, we're told. agent peter strzok was just fired from the fbi finally. the list of bad players in the fbi and doj gets longer and longer based on the fact strzok was in charge of the witch hunt, will it be droppe? it's a total hoax, no obstruction, no collusion. i just fight back. again, the front half of the tweet, the president celebrating. the back half, the president spinning. if robert mueller found out about these texts, he removed peter strzok. robert mueller doesn't speak publicly, but in court when the challenges to his investigation has been made, he's laid forth the evidence. if you're the president and making a p

russia versus trump does that hypothetical peter liberals love during hypotheticals by the way. i'm just going to say yes peter one hundred percent really one hundred percent they would open up a shrine to vladimir putin outside cnn's offices in atlanta they would start rachel maddow would go to saudi and start doing fluff videos about what a great holiday destination it is that's what would happen because media. is colorblind the sense don't go to where the political with the political power is so you know i don't think i don't think i think they would pivot it would definitely put it well no i don't want to get rid of trump and i think it's right of trying right enemy of my enemy that friend that is exactly right that's what i'm getting at here all right lionel pretty please come out of your hole now and you can answer the question my friend. he's been so can reveal to you i know i know and you think he's a good you know he's in a good mood today ok keep going on where you take a happy pill though you're a genius first of all you confound port talbot the hypothetical you mean

and peter brought to the fight. if you will.mp be revoking the security clearances for those people who are no longer working in government? >> there is a principal in classified information. which is need to know. if you're acting the way brandon or klapper, who like to congress and admit it if you're acting that way you no longer have a need to know and for that reason they should not. and i think the important thing is if your former cabinet officer, a former high-ranking official, and you might be called, great! but that's a decision the president or the current administration and i think it is extremely important that this not be a guarantee or a rate but rather a privilege. of those that continue to continue to help american these times are there many people, that maintain clearances and their behavior is such that we want to have them as advisors. there are clearly exceptions. spill congressman, your judiciary committee as well as intel and overset are investigating what happened during the 2016 election and i want asked

peter: right. robert: why does matter if president trump's deputies come out to the white house lectern and have a different message, starker message on russia than him? peter: right. not just the markets. pele paying attention are also the kremlin in this case. the message they are hearing of course is this two-pronged approach. what matters about this among in other is vladimir putin puts great stock in what the leader says, the number one person says. that is the way he runs his country an way he presumes other people run his country and that is the way donald trump likes to run his country. i was in moscow for four years. i remember interviewing him and bringing up cricisms issued by american officials underneath the president and he would brush it off and say th is not what my friend george says, at the time george w. bush. he places hareat stock in the president says not on dan cote or chris ray. what those people are talking to is a different audience. they're talking to us, people who actua

peter was adamant.was like, we can't run the company if people don't have access to the metrics. we stripped out the last line, which was revenue, and maybe one more line in the spreadsheet, but anybody who could do math could calculate it. that appeased the lawyers. it is hard to provide transparency. if you want your employees to be effective, you want to be as transparent as possible. social media encourages more transparency. a lot of ceos thrive in a transparent world, and they can tweet about their companies, their customer successes. but there are legal constraints. when something goes wrong, everybody remembers with hindsight the disadvantages of transparency. emily: you are a former lawyer. keith: yes. emily: do you think elon musk went too far? keith: well -- emily: i can tell. you think he went too far. keith: there is a downside to the tweet. for me, i look at tesla and i think it is a fairly valued company. i wish all my portfolio companies were worth as much. it's not as if this company is

it was peter strzok.e personally worked on all of this along with james comey to prevent her from being indicted. this case was open and shut from the get-go and it was strzok who helped draft the exoneration of clinton much months before shes interviewed along with 17 other people, softening the tone of comey's ill original letter, changing the language from the legal standard of gross negligence to extreme carelessness. and it was strzok who actually lead the interview of clinton himself before she was officially cleared only three days later. the president tweeted "just fired agent strzok, formerly of the fbi, was in charge of the crooked hillary clinton sham investigation. it was a total fraud on the american public and should be properly redone. of course peter strzok's corrupt actions didn't end with hillary clinton. he was also with the very center of the fbi's initial witch hunt into so-called trump-russia collusion. he's the one that texted his fbi mistress lisa page on his fbi phone that he woul

let's talk to peter waner.served in three republican administrations, reagan, bush 41 and bush 43. nice to have you on. first up, jewel july saying one thing one week and another thing another week on a central piece this investigation. what say you? >> i would say that giuliani has had and seen better days. this is the coin of the realm with these guys. they say one thing one day, something else the other day. we had it with jay sekulow. but this is an administration that deals in lies. and they have given us an avalanche of lies and misstates. so they a -- lies and misstatements. they are living in a post truth world or trying to create one. they are throwing things on the walls and seeing what can stick and what doesn't. seeing rudy giuliani embarrass himself is something i guess we have come to expect. it is a sad thing to see. but it's also a pernicious thing. this is all part of an effort to discredit institutions and individuals who are trying to get to the truth and reality of thing as they relate to do

er peter: when we think about the u.s.my, and we look at rates, and we see the 10 year where it is today, we see the fed, i think, taking a measured course. we look at earnings growth, which in the first half was outstanding. the second half is going to be slower. 2019 is going to be half of this year, but we are still looking at earnings growth in the 9% to 10% range. i think that can altogether represent an attractive environment. we certainly are in the late stage of the economic cycle in the u.s., and so, by virtue of that, you want to be a little careful and think about where value resides, and in fact, in our portfolios, we are slightly underweight the u.s. and overweight some non-us markets, because in fact we think the areamentals and valuations more attractive. but we still, frankly, from an equity data standpoint, are neutral to our strategic rates that is because we continue to see the u.s. as an attractive market. ramy: very quickly before we let you go, pushing ahead to jackson hole, when jay powell starts tal

for more on all of this, let's bring in darrell a set of sins -- was it right to fire peter strzok? >> it was right, it was time and perhaps even too late. without peter and a handful of other individuals this investigation would have never have gotten where it was. president has a special counsel looking into things unrelated to this administration or this campaign in order to try to leverage the president into a box and the only reason that the former director mueller this evening powered it's people like strzok set up a false negative. narrative. we will be on the lookout and the reality is we will ask them questions about how he came to have a false dossier that his wife was involved in an fact he made it individual calls. so it's not going to end with one fbi agent, we have more to do to clean up the department of justice. >> melissa: will americans hear about that interview from behind closed doors? because bruce ohr is someone we haven't heard much from before. >> one reason is that all investigations go up and not down to get to the truth. this is an important one, the trans

peter: i quite agree.lly, the core is the key and certainly looking at the ecb core inflation, you are seeing a gradual lift in underlying core inflation in the eurozone. you have also seen some tailwinds from wage growth and the eurozone. inotiated wage settlements germany and elsewhere will eventually push wage rates to coreith the future inflation. i do anticipate this gradualist we are seeing in eurozone core inflation will continue and if we get to levels around 1.5 percent, one .7%, it is reasonable for the ecb to begin its policy of normalization. they are normalizing rates from deeply negative deposit rates and from a flat refinancing rate. it is going to be a very slow protracted and gradual process of rate normalization. mark: indra nooyi, scene -- peter kinsella stays with us. next, stocks on the move. -- reporting second-quarter profit that beat estimates. this is bloomberg. ♪ matt: welcome back to bloomberg markets. this is the european open. i am matt miller in frankfurt to interview the cfo
