amy: thatt was emma gonzales speaking few days after the mass killing at her school.t day she had just taken ap government class where the teacher was teaching about the power of the nra. this entrenched power. you are a senator. talk about how it works behind the scenes and how you are fighting back. the nra doeslear, not have power over congress. it has power over the republican party. 90% of americans, as i mentioned, want universal background checks and 90% of democrats s in the conongress wl vovote for universal background checks. it is the republican party that has stopped these measures over and over and over again. the explanation certainly has something to do with the amount of honey that the nra put -- money the nra puts into the campaigns, but it is more about the fact the republican party over the years has become essentially a party of one idea. that idea is less government, getting government out of every aspect of our lives. if you want to be a republican candidate, you have to prove how much you hate government. you have to hate government more than th

i i cannot see that i it will accocomplish thatt objective, if you see the way the state overallmentrogrgram announced it, tillerson is going to very few countries concentrating primarily on matters of counterterrorism and security, soso he is not going o places like south africa, ghana, tanzania, or a host of other countries, which i think are more viable long-term partners with the united states. there is a r real difference bebetween the way the u.s.s. is approachching africa and, say, china is approaching africa. genie: john, people are hoping rex tillerson will be able to give the countries where he is visiting what u.s. for policy really is in africa. does h he have a clear position? have athe u.s. does not form policy toward africa. it does not have a formal secretary, and even n in places down here, there is not an ambassador. we have no idea what this governmentnt, the u.s.s. administration, thanks about africaca, beyond thehe commentso mentioned inin your opening remarkrks. we do know they are interested in counterterrorism, but they are intereststed in counterterrorism and

looking at that summit from afar you know the idea that one of the twenty eight members namely she got thatt had to do was be stronger than the statement put out by foreign ministers earlier this week that was very lukewarm. reason for that is there's a couple of you member states that are quite sympathetic to russia a noted the grease. which words hold blocks a stronger statement earlier this week with a greece was coaxed into signing up to this harsher language today. is that you promised to get tough with turkey at an even turkey thought it happening next week in bulgaria so of course the statement is just words was the concrete action. the only concrete action actually that he was taking is just recalling its ambassador buds national leaders are going to go back and other leading brussels today they want to go back to their home. capitals and they're going to consult with a parliament about putting and national measures against russia we're so you can expect that from today agreed to surrena second and played in eastern ghouta. for more than a month now the area has been under attack by

so, it takes a lot of though that goes into thatt and it takes people who know the court, know the tendencies, the makeup of the court, and who is familiar with the history and growth of the law in a lot of different areas. it is no little matter to decide what to take to the supreme court. the solicitor general, that is the greatest lawyer job in the world. you get to stand before the highest court in the land, the supreme court, represent the greatest country in the history of the world, united states of america, is quite an honor. he is a fabulous addition to our office. >> thank you very much. we know you have a busy schedule ahead of you so thank you for speaking with us this morning. atty gen. sessions: thank you all.

- actually the book is more about the origins of the violence and what created it in mexico and -- thatt was kind of at tier your motive for writing this book because in the u.s. we don't really pay much attention to the nature of the conflict that's happening over there. especially now with so much going on in our own political world so what i wanted really was to wrap it up in really kind of interesting thrilling detective story. but to sort of have the history of the conflict in mexico and how it, started -- and it really has so much to do with mr. speakers and corruption as i said elier and that's something that can't be solved with a wall. and i mean, we saw a lot of centralor americans lately that have been coming to especially to the texas border to seek asylum and origins of that exodus is political corruption, it's poverty. they're very sort of deep seated issues. that's the same thing in mexico so a wall is a very simplistic solution to something that's very complex. it's not going to stop the corruption. it's not going to stop inequality. it's not going to make people less for

so, it takes a lot of though that goes into thatt and it takes people who know the court, know the tendencies, the makeup of the court, and whose familiar with the history and growth of the law in a lot of different areas. it is no little matter to decide what to take to the supreme court. -- the solicitor general, that is the greatest lawyer job in the world. he gets to stand before the highest court in the land, the supreme court, represent the greatest country in the history of the world, united states of america, is quite an honor. he is a fabulous addition to our office. >> thank you very much. we know you have a busy schedule ahead of you so thank you for speaking with us this morning. atty gen. sessions: thank you all.

ugh it takes a lot of tho that goes into thatt and it takes people who know the court, know the tendencies, the makeup of the court, and whose familiar with the history and growth of the law in a lot of different areas. it is no litter matter -- little matter to decide what to take to the supreme court. the solicitor general, that is the greatest lawyer job in the world. he gets to stand before the highest court in the land, the supreme court, represent the greatest country in the history of the world, united states of america, is quite an honor. he is a fabulous addition to our office. >> thank you very much. we know you have a busy schedule ahead of you so thank you for speaking with us this morning. atty gen. sessions: thank you all.

but as to thatt is stems from these two cases new york versus the united states which with the anti- commandeering principle that says federal government can send device stateses to act and preempt state action but it cannot make states dost stuff. so the above the question is how far does that go? what does it mean to say the federal government cannot commandeer states? so it is between commandeering and preemption because as we although the federal government can enact laws or whatever federal power and then say there shall be no contrary law. but is that commandeering or preemption? and there are ramifications for sports wagering and state relations. and there are two potential ways the court could decide the issue.f one of them is to say commandeering occurs, i will take it a different way, preemption is where the government displaces state law but commandeering is the federal government is actually barringng the state from taking certain affirmative actions are making them take certain actions. so the issue here would be if it is prohibiting the state legislature to repeal the l

and i can ensure you that after rhetoric thatt -- we are always against the world who hates us, and rationality will come into the picture. austrianought that airlines can bring p street it was on the last attack in gaza on 2030. some airlines stopped flying to israel, and austrian was the first one. i do it lasted like 20 hours. but in those 20 hours from israel went mad. israelis lost their temper. it was crazy. and then i thought, imagine yourself that austrian airlines was just a dream line -- a daydream. austrian airlines declares as long as the occupation continues, austrian airlines will not fly to israel. the israel -- the occupation comes to its end without -- when israelis will be prevented to get to macy's for the shopping or to get to the galleria in paris for the shopping, this will be the day the occupation will be over. >> thank you. [applause] so this question says it seems many israelis have become fully disillusioned, simply leave israel. is there any hope of israel changing from within when you have so many people with somewhat similar views do yours leaving? mr. levy: unfort

this was more of a tactical , thatt been an assessment a long-term local player would have advantageshat uber would never have. emily: give us the bigger picture because there are only a couple of key battleground areas around the world. eric: exactly. uber is saying india, latin america, the middle east -- we are focusing -- we want to be the a in m&a. they want to acquire these other companies and dominate the other markets and not abandon them. there are clearly some sniping from former employees saying uber afteress global the deal. i think uber will have a tougher time negotiating with these other companies, given that they have shown a willingness to take a minority stake. there will be a lot of doubling down, especially in india, saying, we are not going away, you are not going to give a 30% to get us out of the market. emily: interesting. eric newcomer, who covers uber and ridesharing for us, thank you. with one ofow grab's earliest investors, serving on the board. he was also involved in the uber-didi deal in china. is this a win for grab, giving the way we 7% of the company?

it does caused congestion and you can feel thatt no question. >> you talk about carbon dioxide and thatis something you wrestled with and you pushed the science in that complaining about the levels going up so what did that do to your body? >> maybe on the spectrum i am an outlier how that affects me but i could definitely tell within a system reduces carbon dioxide in theav atmosphere we have a mechanical system it works well but doesn't keep it where it is on earth. at its lowest on the space station still ten times higher than here and i was so sensitive i could feel it within 0.2 millimeters of mercury and that affects your ability to concentrate and then just to be aware and raise awareness to build systems that are better to keep carbon dioxide low. >> so to talk about life on the space station talk about astronaut i.c.e. cream but sitting down to a meal is different. >> first ofow all astronaut i.c.e. cream is a hoax perpetuated on all of our children. >> it is at the air and space museum. >> i had i.c.e. cream in spades on -- in space. the klondike bar. that astronaut i.c.e. cre

thatt was a process started us down the road in a lot of ways. during the revolution, the newspapers were important for getting the people engaged in the war. think about it, the fighting went on all over the country, but there were people who supported the war even though the fighting was miles and miles away. the newspapers played a very important part in doing that. they came out weekly or biweekly sometimes. usually, particularly in times of trauma like the war, people would want to know what was going on. people subscribe to them but people who could not afford to subscribe to them would go to the local tavern and somebody would sit there and read it. people would know what was going on, even if they could not afford to subtract to the paper. although the wealthy people and the influential people are probably the ones who sparked it, the majority of the troops were not of the wealthy class. the initial fighting was done by the local militia, which every doorman had to be a member of -- every adult man had to be a member, that is you turned o

i don't think there's a strong argument thatt would have happened, were it not for the tax cut that he help push through and all of the other reforms. we'll see how it goes. theub republicans have a long wy to go in selling free market capitalism and individual rewarded intot's all communities, especially minority communities. they have aec heavy lift. but great segment. dan and richard. thanks so much. and the democrats, seem to have no interest in working with president trump on cultural issues. is it good politics? not according too the poll. the new private poll conducted from the democratic congressional campaign committee as reported found that democrats running in the swing district "must express the willingness to work with the president." joining me for reaction is shelby steele. a senioror fellow at the hoover institution. dr. steele, great to see you. how are you? >> i'm good. i'm good. good to be here. >> laura: does that surprise you that there seems to be an unwillingness on the part of democrats, even on issues where the president has moved. let's say on moving on that i

thatt that's ahead. and the naming of john bolton as mcmaster's replacement. something the white house said last week was not happening. >> sarah, you took to twitter last night to ensure the public that mcmaster's job was safe. but has the president spoken directly to mcmaster, carson, scholtens to tell them that their jobs were at stake? >> i spoke directly to the president last night. he asked me to pass that message along to general mcmaster. >> well, that was the old message. the new message is more like thanks and good luck. the latest from jeff zeleny who's at the white house. so sarah sanders, that was a week ago, what happened? >> reporter: a lot of things happens in six days, one of the things that happened was the leak of the phone call of the president with vladimir putin. his national security advisers giving him a message, do not congratulate putin. he did congratulate him. but the reality is, this has been in the works for weeks. we have been reporting that the president has sort of fallen out a bit with h.r. mcmaster, and they were simply looki

out also thatt u.s. futures are weaker. we are not as weak as we were.ajors are pointing down by more than 1%, it has pulled back a little bit from that. we found out what is on the agenda and what is at stake. this is bloomberg. ♪ reporter: we are 30 minutes into your trading day. gary cohn resigns, quitting the white house as the u.s. administration is ahead with the trade tariffs. clamping down on china. play in onwill chinese investment. as punishment for allegedly intellectual-property theft. i will beijing respond? and testing the saudi crown prince. he gets the red carpet treatment as he visits london. will he prove a reliable partner for brexit britain? good morning and welcome to bloomberg markets: the european open, and imf miller come alongside anna edwards. anna: let's look at how things are shaping up. we have risk off in connection with a couple of the headlines you went through. the gary cohn story and the chinese tariff story. targeting the chinese in washington. should there be further tariffs on chinese imports because of intellectual-p

we didn't listen to thatt story. >> tucker: there is no evidence, no evidence has emerged that it's reali want you to think about something written in rolling stone today by a left-wing writer. someone who hates trump. "by an amazing coincidence, virtually all the anti-system movementss that so terrify the political establishment two years ago i've since been identified as covert or overt russian destabilization initiatives run by putin." it's not clear to you that this is a reaction against voters who are mad because nothing is working for them and rather than listen to them, the elites are like oh, it's not our fault. it's putin's fault. you don't see that? >> i think, one more time, the -- >> tucker: i'm amazed someone as smart as you doesn't see that what ties claimsuc that implicae bernie sanders and donald trump's may be defensiveness on the part of the people in power. you don't see that? >> i believe both things are true. there was populist unrest in our country in 2016. i also believe then russians bh saw that, leveraged it, took advantage of it, and fan the flames of it so they

remember thatt to the republican southern strategy, as important as it was in building the party of the south, there were always limits to it. always -- republican politicians always had to be tooful in trying to stoke much the politics of rage, the politics of george wallace. if you push too far to the right, you are going to lose those moderate voters. you are going to lose those suburban moderate voters. one of those fascinating things about reagan in 1980, a thing that people oftentimes forget, as his to mississippi first campaign stop. do you know where he was the next day? he left mississippi and went to harlem, he met with officials from the urban league to talk about conservative strategy for urban renewal. carefully very twinned. he would talk about states rights, and then the next day he the urban about league officials. they were careful, you didn't want to go too far in trying to appeal to the george wallace voters, you lose those white suburban moderate voters across the country. this was true of reagan's politics on race throughout his career. up taking strong stances agai

means trade, services, property rights, intellectual , all of thatts requires assistance.tem in which you negotiate and there's feedback and you communicate. it is a dialogue and i would say even more. because our world is so global and because it is so interconnected, why to individual countries important as they are, can and should negotiate. the world is multilateral. the trading system, at the end of the day, needs to address the issues rather than just exclusively and the bilateral term. guy: you talk about the kind of escalation that potentially we could see here. is that what we should anticipate? if should china respond these tariffs are unveiled a little bit later today? should it be an eye for an eye? not.solutely we should not confuse them. i think it is essential that both sides will make a clear declaration that the ultimate objective is open markets with free and fair trade. once this contest is directed direction,rticular deviations from it can be viewed as a negotiating ploy which may better at some stage, but can prove costly, like all wars. if it is not b

you told us last night in a personal message thatt presiden xi had. >> i don't have anything to add. >> quick question on stormy daniels and the lawsuit that was offered overnight -- or the motion that was made overnight. you've said that you addressed these issues extensively. these are in response today. you haven't answered the question about whether the president was aware of the $130,000 payment that was paid in which he is explicitedly nam. you were asked three weeks ago and you said you were not aware. are you aware now? >> we've spoken about this issue extensively, i don't have anything else to add. anything beyond that i would refer you to the outside counsel. >> two questions. following up on the question about amazon, the report said that the president is obsessed with amazon and its ceo jeff bezos. have you heard the president talk about amazon and are they currently competing on a level playing field right now? >> i've heard the president talk repeatedly about making business practices in this country level for everyone across the board. i've heard him talk about it priv

we see earlier today, down the fact thatte facebook is down for a third day in a row, shedding more than important question is whether or not the overhang of uncertainty facing the social media giant spreads to the trade as a whole or even tech more broadly. let's look first at the technicals on the thing trade -- on the fang. this is a one-year chart of the merrill lynch index. there is a beautiful uptrend, but this index has had a tendency to consolidate down towards that uptrend. we see right now the index is well above that uptrend, suggesting we could see a move back down to consolidate that. when we connect this to the futures, we see lots of volatility. 13%, nowown 10%, up perhaps setting for an uptrend, so big declines could be ahead. a chart wea look at showed last week, it hasn't even more bearish message now. this is the chart of the front month contract on the in many futures. here is that volatility we just took a look at. when we took a look at this last year, it was below 7000. the top of that range can be pretty bearish, right now the down ifity of a move they drop below

this is something that is a local matter and something thatt we feel shshould be left up to e local authorities at this point. amy: we will have momore on stephon clark's killing, and the protests demanding justice, later in the broadcast. the leaders of north and south korea have set the date for their upcoming high-level talks. the landmark summit between president moon jae-in and kim jong-un will be held on april 27 at freedom house on the southern side of the demilitarized zone. this comes after revelations that north korean leader kim jong-un traveled to beijing in an armored train to meet with chinese president jinping. it was the north korean leader's first foreign trip since taking office in 2011. during the four-day trip, the two leaders talked about denuclearization, with kim reportedly saying he was willing to give up north korea's nuclear weapons. kim is also slated to meet soon with president trump, in what would be the first-ever meeting between a sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader. chopin has also offered to hold a summmmit with north korea. -- japan has also offefe

. >> there is no evidence thatt the people received the information that the mayro put out. there were 800 people they were looking for. 232 were actually arrested. i served on the fugitive recovery team in san francisco with the police department. 30% is really good. i mean, you would ask anybody that is on -- >> tucker: there is no evidences would that be the answer to the wife? there is no evidence theyhe heard what the mayor said? the truth is, the mayor did w warn these people. whether they heard it or not, you're right we don't know. is that the risk we are willing to take? what do you think of that? they committed crimes andin would have been detained if not for the mayor. is that something you are happy to defend? >> no.or i am defending due process. everybody is entitled to due process, the 14th amendment. unfortunately for ice even people that are here unlawfully are entitled to due process. process. separate question. this is the mayor, quite apart from that question -- >> it's all part of the question. >> tucker: is it really?f she warns them and says flee so you

like i said, we have something's rollout in writing thatt were indicating we were going to have a close down on april 3. teachers were f feeling the more coming back. teachers were happy about that. announcement oea's with the 23rd, thahat completely changed things. right now we're not really not sure what is going to happen. they pulled the post about the 23rd and said there talking it over more.e. they have heard our voices, that thousands of teachers are serious about that date. we are asking for a $10,000 pay raise. you can go to arkansas and texas and a brand-new teacher starts veteran our 25, 30 year teachers are making here in oklahoma. it is ridiculous. it is been that way way too long. we had a strike in oklahoma in 1990 for the same thing, and we were told back then we would nenever be in the situauation we find oururselves today. amy: what was s the response to your panhandling on the street for educatioion, for the schools te,resa? >> it was fun in a weird way because i was nervous. i went out there really to try to set the message last july that this is where we're at, we a

however, i think at this point, there are so many crimes thatt have to be investigated, they need toet somebody over there was going to run a thorough investigation and maybe work with the ig when that report comes out. >> sean: do we know when we are finally getting this ig report? i keep hearing one former head of the fbi -- fbi officials say it is pure tmt. >> i have not seen it. i have not been briefed. that is really under the jurisdiction of the judiciary committee and the oversight committee. however, they do have a lot of -- the ig does have a lot of information that my committee is very interested in when it comes to what we continue to look at and call it fisa abuse. >> sean: james calstrum has been a longtime friend of this program and he actually made the statement. former assistant fbi director, high-ranking people throughout the government had a plot to protect hillary clinton fromgh being indicted. in your opinion, based on what we know, and 18 usc 793, which says you cannot miss handle classified information, similarly you cannot destroy it. and of course you have sub

thatt the preliminary data shows the one-year inflation expectation was higher than last month.onathan: listen, we have a tight labor market. that should move wages higher. if you look at the small business surveys, do you expect to have to pay of people more money?they are saying yes . so the question is, can we absorb that? is it a problematic level? i don't think it is at problematic levels, but at some point in time, higher wages, would sound great to the average person watching the show, also means margins for companies come under pressure, and that hurts profits, and that means companies lay off workers. there is a nice mix of where you want that to be. right now, we're kind of in the sweet spot, but it is something that i can tell you i am obsessed with it because if we do not have a weight problem in terms of margin, i think the cycle will keep going and going and outside two stocks are better than we think. shery: the rally seems to be getting narrower. the chart showing how text stocksare out -- tech are outperforming the market. how long will they offset that images f

do thatt obama tried to with daca. deferred action for childhood arrivals.hat will now be held up in court. the court said, you cannot do this. eventually, the question of whether the dreamers will get citizenship. susan: of you are on twitter asked, did our guest go into more detail about people who were born in guam? perhaps the most famous person is john mccain who was in the canal zone and some naturalaid he was american. i'm another was ted cruz, born in canada to american parents. some people said he was, said he was not. if you are born in guam or american samoa, to this day you are not a natural born american citizen. it says the american flag does not extend to these territories. repealed the statute, you would not be eligible for the rights, privileges, and immunities that american citizens received. mae: also that derivative citizens -- josh: their natural born. but they are natural born, -- josh: i say they are. susan: that is interesting. our last dollar. caller: hello. caller.last color court: with this supreme recognize -- josh: i did not hear

we think about the different policies thatt could achieve those objectives and we would haveve a honest debate about the pros andnd cons of the policies. we would have those policies scored.d we figure out how we could pay for them and hopefully pass policies that didn't add to the deteriorating fiscal situation we have now. if you look at the breakdown how we shouldes be making policy i think we should point out i don't think the role where cbo plays is where we should be focusing but getting the numbers around cost of policies and pay-fors is everything else considered, working pretty well. i also think during this time of a real fiscal, not going to say crisis a really dangerous fiscal situation, having fiscal estimates is critically important. right now our debt relative to the economy is twice the historical average. it's twice where we were when we went into the recession of 2008 which means if and when the economy turns down next, we will have very little fiscal flexibility to respond. probably worse than where we are right now is where we're headed. we're on track to add as much
