richard: it's probably two things.he obama administration arguably could have done more in the ukraine to help militarily. you also have to walk the clock back 25 years to the end of the cold war and look at several administrations beginning with 41 through clinton through w and so forth and say did the united states handle a defeated or how do we want to describe russia after the cold war? did we handle it the way we should have? there are debates about nato enlargement, american aid for russia and so forth, whether we showed them, whether we handled them right. i think historians are going to find that rich. nato enlargement took flight under the clinton administration and that's when that happened. charlie: but the wall came down -- richard: on of all days, 11/nine. you had the reunification of germany with nato and people were sensitive to gorbachev. in his aftermath, historians will debate whether the united states mishandled things or whether there's something about russian political culture which putin personifi

richard: i have not. tom: you supposed to say more than that. richard: i know.ly. and at least the people that i talked to in the reform graham, it stalled. this is an economy that is in serious trouble. it is not just the banks. you have to accept the democratic outcomes as they come at you, but this is not a good outcome. tom: one of our themes of the hour with michael spence, and we are thrilled that richard haass is with us as well. later, on the interesting politics of his utah, the jr. mikeor from utah, with lee. we will do that on bloomberg radio. washington, d.c., this morning. this is bloomberg. ♪ francine: it is certainly not as funny as it was in the last couple of days, but a beautiful london skyline nonetheless. we have two pieces of important news. first of all, theresa may is doing a tour of the gulf states. she came under fire from within her own party that she was too secretive, and it seems she wants to take a too tight grip on the brexit negotiation. the second one, we had manufacturing data, unexpectedly dropping the most in eight months. thi

richard: complete shock.ience in southern california, where i am broadcasting from right now, is also in shock. i have a radio show that goes across the u.s. and canada and people cannot believe it. it is like a huge part of their youth has just disappeared because george was such an incredible songwriter, and incredible performer. just an incredible person. christopher: richard, you saw him from that very early phase of his career. he's on develop from a teenage sensation, as it were, to a global megastar. defame change him? -- did fame change him? richard: i think george always wanted to be a pop star but he was not one of these people who surrounded himself with bodyguards and push you away. he was always open to his fans. i knew george from the very beginning. i did the very first tv interview with him in america. he came with me to two of my club gigs. they came to my gigs and performed to the songs i was playing. they had so much fun. knowing him years later, he still had that sense of excitement about

>> yeah, richard.this country, the history and legacy of racism and discrimination, the fact that i think, you know, the urban both ice cube said it best, our skin is our sin. the whole notion that african-americans are somehow more criminal than anybody else, and black on black crime is a false equivalency, most violent crimes -- nobody likes violence. african-americans are not saying bring more violence to our community, and i served as a councilwoman and i walked the community with my elders that have a deep-seeded respect for law enforcement, but at the same time are asking for justice and accountability. in this country, african-americans, for the most part and i am talking about implicit biases, and many people in the country hold when it comes to that african-americans and other people of color that the shadow of skin is still there, and so there was no surprise. nobody was surprised in the african-american community that this police officer got away with it. richard, we have to do something abo

richard: how do you expect this plan to roll forward? when should we start seeing pieces of this bill or the whole bill? what is your calendar for 2017? rep. brady: great question. firstof it ties to the 100 days. is setting. until we see that timing i can't answer for sure. we are working through the holidays, continuing to put the elements together. we continue to listen to industry in a number of these areas because we think we are making a bold change. we are moving from business to an income tax where things are produced with the profits are booked. it is dramatically more progrowth for the u.s. economy but it is a change. so we are listen carefully to the industry. i expect a lot of work to be done over the next month. but the bottom line is we will be ready for president-elect trump on tax reform. >> we have health care to tackle as well. who is up first? rachel? rachel: maybe tell us a little bit about how would republicans replace obamacare? we know there are a lot of things in flux right now but what are the main things that yo

brenda: thank you, richard. good morning. today, we stand hand-in-hand with our fellow americans who reject racism, bigotry, and anti-semitism, and division. the fbi reported a 67% increase in hate crimes against muslims in 2015, and we expect an even more dramatic rise in incidents of hate and violence when the data for 2016 is tabulated and released. in fact, muslim advocates have been tracking hate crimes since november 2015, and we have recorded nearly 175 hate crime's against american muslims, or those perceived to be muslims, in the days leading up to the election, and we were disturbed by the increased frequency of reported hate crimes in incidents since the election all across the country. president-elect trump's recent statements against hate violence and white supremacist groups that support his election is a step in the right direction, but there must be more. we need him to strongly reject bigotry in all of its forms, unequivocally call on americans to stop the hate violence, and ensure that his administration wil

if richard refuses this absolutely you have to keep searching.teresting about this list is that they haven't settled on a particular person. i think they were wise to keep looking after giuliani. giuliani just in terms of temperament and various factors didn't seem like a good fit for that. david petraeus in some ways is ideally suited but he has some issues that have got to be resolved. i found interesting not the length of the process, i think it's go ahead to have a careful search. good to cast a wide net. the sniping in public about the names on the list, i can't remember anything quite like that since maybe the days of lyndon johnson where there was -- >> it's really ugly. >> what that tells me, joe, is that when the secretary is finally named, we're likely to see one of those administrations where you get a lot of leaking and kind of backroom brawling that surfaces in leaks to people like me and things that appear in the press. nigh it's not the best way to conduct foreign policy that may be ahead given the back and forth we see about this

richard: that's right.it , but it is going to be heading in that direction. inflation with weaker consumption power. real incomes are decreasing. that is something that is going to end up leaving a mark on u.k. gdp and consumption. it is hard for me to see it as a positive. francine: is brexit and this lack of growth distracting us from having a common policy in the middle east? sony: absolutely. if you just look at the degree of attention that needs to be paid by all sorts of government bodies to issues that are essentially problems created by ourselves, if you look at for the next 10 years, the single biggest priority of the u.k. government is going to be brexit and brexit-related issues, there is very little scope left to address more important issues. the uk's long productivity declines. not just foreign policy, but domestic policy. tom: let's continue. we have so much to talk about through the morning. seth masters will join us. later on bloomberg markets, as we reset for the weekend, as we reset for t

richard: i would never assume that the senators are talking to the house. and the senate, even if they are in the same party, they don't even talk to each other. there might be at a high leadership level but at this point i don't get the sense that it is a house and senate team conversation. susan: as we know, the senate thebe a doorstop for any of plans that the administration and house might have. so what are you both hearing about the interest in pursuing these big topics? muchel: the senate moves slower. and already, we are hearing that top senators have mentioned, don't forget. we still need to get democrats were a lot of this stuff to get done. the obamacare replacement and -- it is going to take some sweeteners if they are going to get the democrats. in the house, the same thing. in the senate, if they're going , throughax reform thisar order, we will see and we have seen it in the past and we already starting to hear this. the caucus was not happy when they found out that leadership in the senate wanted between three and four years. the chairman sai

the author of watership down, richard adams has died, aged 96.stseller and also became a celebrated film. a statement from his family said he died on christmas eve. nick higham looks back at his life. they seem sad, like trees in november. it became a worldwide bestseller and animated film and made its creator a millionaire. not bad for a story about intrepid rabbits originally devised by a civil servant to entertain his children in the car. watership down was a fantasy, but one as compelling as the classical myths its author loved, and its setting was authentic. richard adams had grown up near the real watership down in hampshire. in one respect, the book is anything but fantastic because the topography and landscape in which it takes place is completely real. this is the country where i was born and where i grew up, and i know it all like the back of my hand, and everything in the story, down to very often individual gates and trees, is perfectly real. the novel's phenomenal success sent its author into tax exile in the isle of man. he wrote mo

>> yeah, i think a lot of what richard say spot-on.hick that i definitely wouldn't leave out is that donald trump has said that he'd like to repeal dodd/frank financial market reform or oversight. now, this is a very big deal for lots of investors on the street, who view a donald trump administration as not only friendly to them, in terms of the kind of corporate tax cuts that richard mentioned, but also on the regulatory side. now, if he were to actually be able to repeal that kind of oversight, in my view, you might be inviting back the same kind of bubbles that got us into the mess that we're just now climbing out of. that would be a terrible policy vis-a-vis the rest of the country. but i do think that's one of the elements behind the rally. >> you know, the bubbles were pushed by a lot of the banks. that's one of the critiques. here was donald trump on the campaign trail, basically saying that goldman controls politicians too much. >> i know the guys at goldman sachs. they have total, total, total control over him. just like they

but i agree with what richard was saying. he wants to use all instruments that he can to advance his interests. he thinks that mr. trump is more -- will be easier to deal with for russia than secretary clinton. he had a vendetta against secretary clinton, that is for sure because of what he perceived as her meddling in russian electoral processes. and he is now proven that he's not afraid to use this kind of instrument to realize those ends and that's what's really new here. everybody does intelligence gathering, right? every country that has the capability seeks to gather intelligence. what is unprecedented is the publication of that intelligence to affect an election and in this case the presidential election in the united states of america. >> we're going to hear from president obama tomorrow. if you were president obama, what can the u.s. do? what should the u.s. do? and should be tempered by the careful what you wish for, by the capabilities you know the russians to possess? >> of course. let me say i have lots of friend

a surprising development, let's bring in richard walker in washington for us. richard, the u.s. always vetoed anti-israel resolutions at the u.n. why did it not do so this time araround? richard: that is right, there has been that tradition in the past, and the obama administration h has kept that . so when they came back in 2011, at that time the obama administration did wieield the veto, and part of its reasoning and argument at the time was that it wanted the two sides, the palestinians and the israelis, to have the space to take part in negotiations. during the course of the administration, they have been very sad to get a peace process moving, but it has really come to nothing. during that time, relations between the white house and benjamin netanyahu had his government have deteriorated successfully over the years. what we are seeing now is essentially, perhaps the last chance for the obama administration to strike a diplomatic note about where it sees the outlook between the israelis and the palestinians, to register its extremely well-known displeasure at settlement buil

richard: that remains very vague. quoted from his tweets which is just about all we have to go on so far. he said he is leaving business operations. what that actually means we'll have to wait and see. but he will not want to sell. we're getting the sense that what is quite likely to happen is his children will be taking over the operation and control of his business. brent: if this family does take over, does this really solve the issue of a possible conflict of interest? it is the closest kin who will be running th shop. richard: absolutely. do many it does not subject problem at all. the business will still be there, his name will be all over it. anyone doing business with that business knows they are doing business effectively with the president of the united states and that could affect their behavior. i think the only thing that he can really do to completely wipe the slate clean would be to sell the business. hasper them in a blind trust first -- perhaps put it in a blind trust first. but he does not want to do

richard yule does a fantastic job patching this whole.he rear of the incident and upton is driven to the field. he will earn his star, grant recognizes the failure was not upton's fault, but his own. one of the things i add meyer most about grant is a quick learner. forward frontal assaults, he's always experimenting, always trying, always maneuvering, he looks at this attack, and says, if upton can breakthrough here with 5,000 men, what could i do with 20,000? and this time i've got another 20,000 reinforcements ready to take advantage of the breakthrough. and so he's going to put into motion a plan where he's going to use that same idea to punch the confederate position right on the nose. and he's going to have the reinforcements ready in place. it's going to take him a while to do this, he wants to use his second core under win field scott hancock to execute this attack. hancock's men are way over here by the poe river. they have to shift all the way up and over into position. it's going to take them hours. darkness falls, flooding the
