rick, do you like argentina? rick: is a tricky situation. we do have to follow the election.ke a dead heat. it has created a tremendous turmoil. 54%other country running at inflation rate. 1.9% or 2.1%..s. they do that in argentina and a couple of weeks. growth contracted. it is a tough dynamic. from a debt side, we've done a little bit tactically but we're keeping our exposure down. as we get close to the election, then you have more stability. they have drawn money from the imf. it is a tricky place to have a lot of investment until you get to that election. david: the relaunch lots you felt that way about mexico as we came to the election. do you feel better about mexico? rick: markets are incredible. we still have a few months in argentina. as you get closer, then you think about the you buy a little bit and you start getting your position on? mexico is a tricky place. there are things that are happening around the government we have to be careful of. that being said, you talk about a different economy in terms of growth and stability of inflation. we do like local rates

something you should know about rick scott. >> not just florida former governor. new are senator. >> this is before he was governor. back in the 1990s, rick scott was the ceo of a health care company called columbia hca which owned hospitals, surgery centers and home health care centers throughout the country. >> and under rick scott's leadership, that company committed epic medicare fraud. and by epic, we mean it pleaded guilty to criminal conduct and they had to pay out -- wait for it -- a whooping $1.7 billion in fines and penalties back in 2000. now, after a massive justice department investigation, which found the company billed medicare, medicaid and other programs for lab tests that weren't necessary or even ordered by a doctor, they assigned false diagnosis codes to patient records to increase reimbursement. that is fraud. they illegally claimed nonreimbursable marketing and advertising costs that were disguised as community education. and then they billed for home health visits for patients who didn't qualify to receive them or weren't even performed. >>

when rick wells came to me with his black hair, at one point, i said okay, rick, i will support this project when i was on the board of supervisors, but i have one request. beyoncÉ has to do the opening concert he will be announcing the first concert, and needless to say, unfortunately, it will not be beyoncÉ, but i have a commitment that eventually she will be here, and i want to make sure i am front and center here is the good news. we have an incredible local talented artist that will be headlining at the chase center. rick will make that announcement , but i have to tell you, they are just as good as beyoncÉ, but don't tell beyonce i said that because i still love her, thank you all so much for being here today. i am so excited about what this is going to do to make san francisco. it is already a world-class city , it is an incredible city, but this is really going to take us over the top. we are going to be a championship winning city once the warrior start bringing those rings right here to san francisco. thank you all so much and have a wonderful day. >> thank you, mayor, by t

>> look, i know rick. i adore rick and i can't wait to read your piece, rick. but just from what you described, i think, i think you're a little wrong here. kamala harris put out an education plan and elizabeth warren has policy issues. i think we are making the mistake in our coverage of 2020 that a lot of people did in 2018 when everyone thought that the democrats were talking about impeachment of the president rolling into the 2018 midterm elections and what democrats really were talking about on the campaign trail was not impeachment. they were talking about health care. so much so in so many regions around the country -- and they are. so, i think we can get caught up in the boutique issues and, you're right, reparations and other things and pay attention to what the candidates are actually saying and i guarantee you they may be asked about other boutique issues, but that's not what their campaigns are fundamentally about. >> let me jump in here because to this point, we have a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll that just came out. the mueller report w

rick wilson, i'm going to quote joe lockhart.ocrats, leaving donald trump in office is not only good politics, it is the best chance for fundamental realignment of american politics in more than a generation. mr. trump is three years into destroying what we know as the republican party, another two years just might finish it off. for good measure here's ron klain. i really feel like dems are making the impeachment question complicated when it's simple, we will hold hearings on what trump did wrong including things like mueller didn't even consider like corruption, at the end of the hearings we'll decide what punishment we support. rick, detail the ways in which the democrats, you'll forgive the blunt language, could screw this up nine ways from tuesday. >> i've said this 100 times now, donald trump cannot win the 2020 election, but the democrats can sure as hell lose it. they will find a way. i jokingly say they're the party that seeks their own political death. and they will find a way. i mean, this impeachment question is one w

nothing illustrates this quite so clearly as the moment when ricks saloon owning competitor asks if ricks cafi america can and the black piano player sam are for sale. how does rick respond? in the language of abraham lincoln, i don't buy or sell human beings. this line perhaps more than any other reveals the ethical underpinning that signals ricks transformation. his willingness now to take a moral stand and i think it is no accident he uses the same antislavery language being used by the office of war information and by the lincoln playwright sherwood. in fact it is very likely the author of humphrey bogart antislavery pronouncement was howard a casablanca screenwriter and author of that lincoln kentucky college professor play from the lincoln theater project. even though lincoln himself does not as robert warren say flash ritualistically across the screen casablanca embodies the lincoln like a moral urgency that was being used to get americans behind this new effort. this then this lincoln was once again his spirit once again being reimagined and reinterpreted and in some ways this may

"mtp daily" starts right now with chuck todd having to think about that image of bicycle shorts. i'm so sorry, my friend. >> i don't even want to know, but i have to say, rick reilly, bicycle shorts, all of that, it's giving me flashbacks of angry sports illustrated childhood. >> you're a

yes. >> rick, it's a victory. are leaving because they're retired, demographics inexorable in that regard i will say one other thing, though, rick, which is i want to look at the fed funds futures, where we've been the market seems to have correctly priced this. it went a little crazy last week, the week before, betting 50%, 60% for a rate cut. it's now down to around 30%. this was before the number it remains there that feels a little bit more right to me than it did on the 50%. >> and kate, just watching, the futures continue to pick up. >> yeah. >> dow futures now up over 100 points and the s&p futures up by 10 points. this comes after six days in a row of gains in the markets closing yesterday at their highest level, for the s&p and dow at least, that we've seen in six months. >> we've had this phenomenal run through 2019, and that's been great, but mostly driven by multiple expansion, higher prices and lower downward earnings revisions so the thing i'm most focused on now that we've gotten through this payrol

you don't need to rick that. rod rosenstein had a similar kind of reputation.what is it about that administration that makes people do it? you're often skeptical about the abilities of donald trump and rightly so. he does have one natural ability. if there's any moral weakness in you, he's got this ability to find it and work on it and pry it open. and make you a lesser person than you would otherwise be. and again and again, meets people you would think are too big, too honorable to need any of this. yet he changes them and grinds them into dust. it's a heart rending site. >> david frum gets the last word. thank you all for starting us to have tonight. when we come back, we have breaking news in the next segment about donald trump's tax returns. and secretary mnuchin's possible handling or nonhamming of those tax returns. secretary mnuchin stands on the border of possibly committing a crime if he does not handle this situation perfectly. david kay johnson has the important reporting on this. and later, katie porter is back. she has done it again. democratic co

rick santorum, john mccain, mitt romney won republican primaries. barack obama won the democratic caucus, so sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. it seems that the caucuses really, the best or highest ,unction is winnowing the field sort of. if you can't make it here, you are probably not going to make it somewhere else. about three tickets out of iowa, the top three finishers in the caucuses can move on. that is not always the case, but it is kind of a good rule of thumb that if you don't finish strong in iowa, you are probably not going to be able to maintain a campaign, a winning campaign. winning iowa does not necessarily mean that -- rick santorum did not go on to get the nomination. ted cruz did not go on to get the nomination. winning in iowa is not a guarantee of getting our party's party'son does your nomination, but it is a sign of organizational strength, that you can put together a campaign that delivers people to the caucuses almost in the same way that you will have to deliver .eople to voting booths so it is a good test in th

it is the process by which rick dedicates himself to the anti-nazi cause. journey is meant to reflect a larger american journey, how it became necessary to break with the isolationism of the interwar and accept the need to fight this new war. one critical step in that journey involves giving the new war a strong moral overlay to make clear the new fight was about principle, not material gains. as i suggested, no figure better symbolized moral conviction in wartime that abraham lincoln. not to worry. i am not going to convince you abraham lincoln shows up in casablanca. i know that he does not. his spirit is there. nothing illustrates this so clearly as the moment when rick's competitor asks if the cafe american and sam are for sale. respond? ick in the language of abraham lincoln, i don't buy or sell human beings. this line, perhaps more than any other reveals the ethical underpinning that signals rick's transformation, his willingness to take a moral stand. i think it is no accident that he uses the same kind of anti-slavery language being used by the offi

rick tyler, christine quinn back with me.s is the president's distraction tactic to get us to focus on immigration. but he's got a bunch of democrats who are on the campaign trail criticizing him on immigration. but is it a trap? is it a winning trap that he distracts, pushes them to talk immigration when they themselves don't yet have a plan? >> i think the democrats can also walk and chew gum and can respond to both. look, i don't think any mayors out there of sanctuary cities are going to back down. i think that's just wrong what the president is saying. going to back down from their commitment to immigrants and asylum seekers and the cities will take them. the concern i have is are we replicating what first happened with family separation. making a policy at the federal level without the infrastructure to make sure the human beings are treated correctly and fairly and safe. now if he wanted to have a meeting with mayors and people and come up with a strategy, it would be unique, but it would potentially could be very effe

rick? rick reichmuth? how are you doing?thank you. rick: check this out. 94th birthday and first time on television. how does it feel? >> scary. rick: scary? you have had all your life to prepare for this moment? >> right. rick: have you done a great job. happy 94th birthday. glad you are here. we made a very nice weather day for you here. it's not going to be the case across parts of the central plains. chicago getting a little bit of snow throughout the day today and into tomorrow. by tomorrow actually for the most part it's done. across the northeast, mid-atlantic today that storm moving through there will be a few snow showers sorry to say that across the higher elevations of internal areas of the northeast. very nice across the mid-atlantic. probably one ever the nicest days you have had so far down across the southeast. will humidity has dropped. tons of sunshine. here is the snow that you have across parts of the northern plains. great lakes. will area couple degrees cooler than it was yesterday. pushing 100 degrees i

charles: you agree, rick? >> i know president trump would agree.t confusing, i agree with ford, if there is something funky went on there, absolutely he should investigate. the problem right now he is at a point in time where people are watching him, they have got questions about him. he would have done better if he didn't say what he said, we watched it, he said spying occurred. he said, later on, i don't know or think any rules were broken. i'm confused. the other thing i'm confused about. he told us yesterday the ig report is due in a couple of weeks investigating precisely this issue. you tell me why would he not wait until he gets ig report? charles: he was asked an opinion. he was asked straightforward. i think the person asking the question thought he was going to say i'm not sure, no, and that is what turned the whole thing upside-down. >> fur telling us there is ig report coming i say why don't you ask me the question after i see the ig report. >> rick i think what happened in the grilling on capitol hill, tuesday, wednesday, how quickly t

i'm sorry, rick, i didn't mean to interrupt you. >> no, i was interrupting you and i apologize. the beat goes on here. what we don't know. and we've been hearing this for two years, what we don't know and that this is speculation that all these horrible things that are out there that we're not going to know because what you're going to find tomorrow, as i believe, is going to be a nothing, a nothing burger. >> how do you know? how do you know? that's speculation on the other side. >> because it's been a nothing burger so far. as much speculation as we've had, as much as all these horrible crimes and impeachment and all these things that were going to happen and spending huge amounts of media time covering this, we have nothing. the reality is we still are going to say, well, you know, we're not going to know tomorrow. to keep this story alive and to keep the pressure on the president we're going to continue to say that there's something we might not know, and that's just -- i just don't think that's good journalism. >> you can absolutely disagree. let me just make a point of fac

rick, everybody loves a medical breakthrough. what exactly happened here? rick: right.t is a great, upbeat story in a time when the news is not so upbeat these days. some researchers at st. jude's research hospital came up with a very unique and new way to treat kids, almost entirely boys, who have this immune deficiency. this was something that was tried with some success 20 years ago or so by some companies and research institutes in europe, but those children back then always developed leukemia. now, with a new kind of system that st. jude's and a company that is licensing the technology hopes to use, leukemia is no longer a worry. emily: i am looking at the chart of mustang bio, which was involved in the treatment for this disease. shares up more than 180% right now, more than 200% after hours. you know, these young boys have already been released from their isolation, so at this point this seems to be failsafe. what does this mean for this company and the industry? rick: it is very promising for the company. the thing to remember is, you know, the news today is bas

the big question as rick rightfully pointing out is whether democrats have.nt to run impeachment proceedings something in the based, what we call unfocused scheming, go ahead you will reelect donald trump. >> you might be right. >> it is political. charles: meantime president trump weighing out there things he knows nancy pelosi would like, at least democrats talked about, infrastructure seems to be the lowest hanging fruit. both parties would agree on trying to curb the drug emdem mick in this country. are the democrats missing a golden opportunity to get something crafted to your earlier point legislate? >> it's a great question. i'm been very surprised how the president gone back to tweaking nancy pelosi because where he really needs her, your issues are important issues. he needs her to get through the revision to nafta. he cannot do it without her. weighs treating her pretty well because of that. now he has gone the other direction. we need a infrastructure program. i agree with you. they ought to be working together on it. we'll have to see how the pres

hey, rick. >> reporter: hi, carl. i love jobs friday and i also love the guest i have on job friday. ed la ladeer. so much to talk about. darn good number, if you looked at the employment to population ratio, 60.6 so is it dropped a .10, 60.7 the last couple of months, best in, what, 11 years and if we look at the participation rate, it dropped .2 to 63, it dropped from a six year high level, if we look at the unemployment rate, i don't pay much attention to it because what the other two i think we can bring more people back in finally, wages were growing but not nearly as much, a .1 yearover year. we did see a increase. what do you see? >> thanks, rick. it was a great summary. i would say the general picture is this, we're still strong, but it does look like we're starting to plateau and i would say that for a couple of reasons. one, you pointed to the employment population ratio. i always look at that. it's down a little bit. the easiest way to get at that is to look at the people who are not adversely affected by t

very interesting to hear what rick talked about. all the things he talked about were commensurate with the federal reserve more likely to stay where it is at. the strength in the doctor tells people, hey, you know the relative between the u.s. and europe is more likely to remain the same than it is for the u.s. to collapse. that would be a reason for dollar strength. slightly higher bond yields. another reason for it. so, yeah, we seem to be okay this idea of no inflation which somebody said earlier today. never mind there is inflation it's 1.8%. it's at or near the fed's target >> just not picking up >> just not picking up acceleration in the rate of growth >> for years this idea was that the economy is only a 1% or maybe a 2% economy if you add 200,000 jobs a year, you should overheat. that is not happening. >> i would go back to a great speech back in october where he said something new that is happening is productivity growth has picked up in this economy. gone up to almost double that right now and that, in fact, can help conta

it's hard to recite rick's book titles without chuckling about them.his is inevitable that candidates are going to be asked about donald trump's rhetoric. beto o'rourke did not shy hiawa from it. for him, the closest comparison is something very dark. >> in fact, this afternoon donald trump further compared immigrants and people coming across the border as animals. not humans. he said animals. basically making beto o'rourke's point, which is essentially donald trump for years now has tried to adopt and has adopted the language of making immigrants, undocumented immigrants animals, other-izing them. making them people that you don't feel are people. and in my view it's absolutely accurate that fascists do that. i think it's important we call this language out for what it is, which is not the language of democrats or democracies or leaders of the free world. that language of dictators and i think there is going to be a forceful debate within the democratic party about immigration and other issues, but i also think that the democratic party is looking for

liesman >> i was going to point out what rick said. when you read the minutes, the fed is very aware of what markets have been doing. and the idea that there's been something of a comeback, i think you're right, rick it took the foot off of what might have been the accelerate that maybe there was going to be some kind of leaning toward the move if you read the minutes, they're full of the idea markets have come back smartly. largely they think because of the shift in federal reserve policy what you have here is a committee that's firmly in the middle to the extent that anybody's leaning, they're saying maybe there's an outside chance of a hike but there is not that outside chance of a cut. there's no group in there that you can see or that's mentioned or explicitly mentioned that looks for a cut later this year. >> and did i hear you say, steve liesman that a majority see no hikes this year? >> yeah. that's i think the lead of our minutes here that majority say it's unlikely that -- that theeconomy is likely to develop in a way where r
