politicians of pushed schultze who is the finance minister and chancellor who is deputy in the current government so obviously he's very well known and you know they've won out on the basis of this vote of the membership these are left leaning politicians who want to see a change of course and are generally speaking skeptical about the future of the coalition between social democrats. conservatives and so this could lead to is a change in that in germany is national government what let's talk about that these people are critics of this coalition how what is this bill for the longevity of the government right what they have sadie's the they want to renegotiate the coalition agreement that is the basis of the government they want to see much more much clear . or a social democrat policies in that things like message of program of investment for the climate for infrastructure also increasing germany's minimum wage for instance and various other things like that they say if they don't get that they don't get those need policies then they are inclined to withdraw support for the coalition t

the partisan line here, and i want to discuss this with democratic congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz of florida. thank you for coming on, congresswoman. >> my pleasure, brianna. it's good to see you. >> good to see you as well. i'm sure that you have heard what is going on with the president's twitter feed. he's been seething about the speaker, he's been seething about her decision to hold onto the articles of impeachment. do you see that response? he's clearly very unhappy with this. do you see his response as validating her decision to do this? >> absolutely. i mean, it's been very clear throughout the president's tenure as president that he has no interest in actually the rule of law, of following the rules

george schultz was here for the opening of the program in 1991. madelieine albright, jim bakker, colin powell, condoleezza rice and hillary clinton. this morning it's our great honor to make it lucky number seven with the 70th united states secretary of state, mike pompeo. mike graduated top of his class from west point and served an accomplishment in any year, but wait until you hear about a few of mike's classmates. one is an elected member of congress and two serve as high ranking members of the state department. and one we had here, secretary of state mike esper all in the class of 1986 at west point. so this is not exactly a group of slackers. but mike rose to the very top. as a young cavalry officer mike was stationed in the divided german capital in the tenuous months before the fall of the berlin wall. he served with the forces of freedom. after military service he went on to harvard law school and an impressive career in the private sector. entering a call to public service he was called to represent kansas in the u.s. house of representa

so let's go live to our correspondent teri schultz is following this for us and want to know welcome terry so the expected clash between the good french and american presence didn't happen it was a very sort of polite agreement to disagree. that's right we don't know exactly what's happening behind the scenes of course but yes that's true publicly now the 2 men have not been trying to basically out criticize each other about nato or about trade policies or about anything else and that's a very important signal heading into the meeting of nato leaders tomorrow everyone was quite nervous about the disputes between presidents trump and necron and whether that would bleed over and really spoil the mood for what nato so much hoped would be a celebration of it 70th birthday it's interesting as well the other thing to pay. isn't my call still very much focused on what he believes the vision should be. well that's true and you could hear president mcclellan was still quite heated about what he was saying he was very angered by the u.s. action to be to address abruptly pull out its troops fro

we talk to connie schultz.wn" and "desk 88" of sherrod brown. you guys know each other, right? >> i am curious of what the view from the ground of ohio looks like to you right now? >> sherrod ran for reelection last year. >> we help focus groups throughout the state. something started happening as we got closer. the guys and men were lost. i remember sitting there talking about how john mccain was not a war hero because he's been in prison two weeks before he died. we know where they were. >> literally saying it. >> exactly. >> some of the women were starting to peel off. it was over two issues, family separations and healthcare. if we were to do those focus groups now with the shooting in dayton, i would say guns would be more of an issue as well. >> you saw gender split were wild. impeachment were 15 or 20 points apart. >> right. >> we plsplit it. we never had women with men. we kept the women -- >> you segregated it. >> yes. >> they don't know we are there. it was interesting dramatically different. >> you c

right off the bat, jenna your reaction to the criticism from congresswoman schultz?mocrats are trying to normalize impeachment for political opposition. this is not like the clinton impeachment in 1999. that was an impeachment for an actual crime with bipartisan support. both parties came together and passed the rules unanimously. they recognized that the constitutional process was in place. to go against the constitution and for nancy pelosi to withhold sending managers and to claim because mitch mcconnell is coordinating the process it's a rigged trial is ludicrous. even in the democrats were in control of the senate they would have to make sure what would happen with the witnesses. that's all mitch mcconnell was referring to. this is ridiculous to compare this to the clinton impeachment. this is outside the bounds of any impeachment in american history because it's outside of the bounds of the united states constitution. there is nothing that president trump has done that there is evidence that falls within the scope of article 2. this is political opposition. tha

mike: here is debbie wasserman schultz. >> nancy pelosi is right to guard jealously the congressional authority we have over impeachment and our constitution. mike: your reaction? >> she's not guarding the constitution too carefully, they ran over it trying to find something, she has a duty to transmit what we voted on to the senate. the senate has the sole authority in the constitution to try the case. she doesn't get to set the trial and that is what she is trying to do so i would say she tried to obviate the rules of the constitution. >> donald trump and nancy pelosi away for the holidays but have a twitter feud going. >> nancy pelosi knows she is smarter than he is, far tougher than he is and i hope how to deal with it. mike: your response? >> i guess he can say what he wants but donald trump has done a masterful job going over the left stream media and fighting the battle that nancy pelosi has been trying to wage. donald trump, has done a masterful job getting through the beat down, announced he was running. i don't think the president is afraid of nancy pelosi. mike: nancy pelos

how a lot of the media is covering some of those are saying the career of finance minister schultz is probably over as a result of this of course he was ousted by these 2 left leaning leaders he won out and some of the other parties have also been reacting the head of the left party for instance saying congratulations is exactly the right way to go more or less policies as you might expect him to say the market friendly free market free democrats have been saying well you know this is a disaster the s.p.d. is descending into chaos and dragging the country down with it so there's been some pretty strident reaction across the piece here in germany today sure about the big question i suppose really is what's going to happen to i'm going to back off government that's right well these 2 new leaders of the s.p.d. have said they want to renegotiate the coalition agreement that is the basis of the coalition government featuring their social democrats and shoves the medicals conservatives they want more left left wing policies in there the conservatives for their part have said to repeated it

or correspond teri schultz is covering these divides at this nato session for us and joins us now from london to debut terry what's the atmosphere like after that very public dustup between mccraw and trump. well not surprisingly all the leaders are saying they had great meetings yesterday nato secretary general and stoltenberg even tweeted that a very good meeting with president trump even though both of these bilateral meetings with president mccall and as we've just seen and with that the nato secretary general devolved into basically unilateral press conferences by the u.s. president where he discussed everything under the sun including a lot of domestic politics so i think that with the way things are going in washington with the impeachment inquiry and of course here in london where there are tensions between between leaders i think people are awaiting perhaps a quite fractious day no matter what they say british prime minister boris johnson just arrived and was asked these questions and said there's more that unites us than divides us so i'm expecting that we will have a show of

charles schultz and herb block were good friends. they often did things to honor one another. mr. schulz, not so much in his peanuts cartoons. he was a big fan of herb block personally. here we have the time-honored character of snoopy cursing communism, communists in general. wishing they could bomb more in vietnam. what i want to do is select five cartoons they relate to a series of events or particular events in 1967, something that stands out in his work. for me what stood out in 1967 is how important it was for consumers. mr. bloch did a series of cartoons that highlighted the work of individuals in promoting consumer regulations, better safety for americans area we have the food and drug administration. and americans deceased from inadequate warnings. could he have drawn this cartoon today? i will ask you to be the judge. mr. bloch had suffered a heart attack in 1959 and quit smoking. he never gave up fighting about cigarettes after that. he hated what the industry was doing. here he showed the federal trade commission valiantly. in order to give more controls of what they c

the positive impression was george schultz was secretary of the treasury, he had two guys who workedor him that i had a good working relationship. david: you went back to chicago and joined goldman sachs. how did that come about? hank: careers are a funny thing. i have never been big on career engineering. when i graduated from dartmouth, i did not know what an investment banker was. government that i like multitasking, i liked economic policy and financial issues and problem-solving. that investment banking might be a good thing to explore. i also determined i never wanted to live in new york. that was my view. david: you are at goldman and obviously did a good job because you got promoted, and wound up being the ceo of goldman sachs, a job you did not aspire to. you know what it was like when we graduated from college in business school. if you wanted to run something, you did not go into financial investment banking, you went in because you liked the markets and wanted to work with clients on multiple projects. that is why i picked goldman sachs. in 1994, the firm had problems, i

but if it's all right i'd like to yield to my good friend miss wasserman schultz who was here before me. >> no. >> you sure? >> i'll go next. >> all right. i'm happy to -- um, all right. thank you. give me back my 15 seconds. i was trying to be gracious here. so mr. zeller, welcome. i'm going to ask a series of rapid-fire questions to establish just a record if you don't mind. did the compliance policy that fda sent to oweii exempt vape shops? >> as i said to the chairman earlier i can't get into the details of the policy. that remains under review. >> you can't even tell us as a as a matter of fact it either did or did not include vape shops? your view is that's exempt from congressional scrutiny at a hearing? >> when there has not been a final decision made yet on this policy and it's clear it's not been made, we don't discuss publicly what the considerations are. it's been accurately reported that the agency submitted the guidance to oira. it's been accurately reported including on the omb website that oira cleared the guidance. but as i said earlier to the chairman, there are the

you can listen to george schultz tell the story of how in 1972 he refused to launch audits on the enemies list he was given by the white house. he was, at the time, secretary of the treasury. >> and launched a full investigation of them. that's a very unpleasant thing to have happen to you. what should i do? i said, don't do it. he said, what shall i tell john dean when he asks me how it's going. i said, tell him that you report to me. if he's got a problem, he's got a problem with me. so they never brought it up with me, although on the tapes there is discussion between the president and john dean about who do i think i am holding this up. but it was an improper use of the irs and i wouldn't do it. >> in the timeline in 1971 portion of the timeline, we included an episode that some people don't ordinarily associate with watergate. but we do. it involves an abuse of governmental power and shows the president's mindset in the summer of 1971. this is when the president ordered haldeman to find out the number of jewish-americans in the department of labor's bureau of labor statistics. you ca
