and china the u.s. has some major issues with china and right now the u.s. wants to hurt china so badly that they're going to hurt america in trying to hurt while way and that's really a shame it is and right now the trumpet ministration is trying to move forward with these chip regulations to block shipments from the world's largest contract chip maker taiwan t.s.m. c. and that's always one of big always biggest chip suppliers so it's all even prepared for something like this to happen there we've been very working very hard on this so-called plan b. i got back from some very intense meetings in china more than 2 weeks ago and saw the progress that we're making right now we're selling our 5 g. equipment around the world with no american components as you may know more than nearly $300.00 american companies want to sell the water we spent over 11000000000 dollars last year this can impact $40000.00 american jobs directly so these jobs are on the line if america decides for some unknown reason they're not going to allow american companies to sell the wall whi

pompei also doesn't often agree with u.s. democrats but they do agree on chinese telecom giant huawei they've been calling on europe the u.s. delegation not to allow wall way to build its new 5 g. networks how did that message from the u.s. go down today. that message has already been delivered now for more than a year as european governments looked at whether they were going to integrate weiwei technology into their expansion of 5 g. networks and in fact europe europe has already decided that it will allow while way that's something that does not sit well with the united states at all and i think the most surprising thing that we heard today was actually the defense secretary marc esper who said that china is the number one priority of the pentagon potential adversaries not russia but china so this was something that the u.s. was very much wanting to hit home in trying to convince the europeans that this is a security risk for them if they go ahead with with increasing business ties with china they've the u.s. has made it cl

influence or the u.s. commitment to human rights at least rhetorically and at least officially mitigated many of the authoritarian practices in the region it at least created some red lines as to what authoritarians could do and now there are no red lines and so what you're seeing is an aggravation of human rights violations and embolden men and many of these dictators which in the long run is going to create more instability there are a number of analysts or do you think that will be the latter more that you will have regimes will draw from the end of this impeachment process and how it ended with such high approval ratings for the us president. that the you know the idea that you guys yes like about n.p.r. they behave moral compass has still. been somehow successful in standing up that's not going to be the message that dictators around the world take away from this right now i think you're correct they'll see trump as much more powerful and they will trust him more and being able to keep his promises th

so back doors the same ones that the u.s. government has demanded that cell phone companies build into their systems right and yes back doors that the attorney general and senators like lindsey graham are demanding that facebook and apple add to their systems for law enforcement can be accessed by someone other than law enforcement that is breaking news of course they can right we all know that that's the real story here but as for wall way u.s. intelligence shows that while way has had this secret capability to access those back doors for more than a decade so here's how it works according to the wall street journal quote when telecom equipment makers sell hardware such as switching gear base stations and antennas to cell phone carriers which assemble the networks that enable mobile communication and computing they are required by law to build in ways for authorities to tap into the networks for lawful purposes where u.s. intelligence agencies claim that while way has built equipment that secretly preserves its ability to ac

towhat's been interesting watch, we know u.s. stock have been doing great, the u.s. dollar has been doing great relative to global currencies. but it is surprising in an environment where u.s. data, up until today what, was holding up well. you could see the spread between u.s. economic surprise indexes and a german economic surprise index widen. the u.s. inching higher, while german's went into negative territory. backdrop, since the coronavirus was part of the market consciousness, that you would see a narrowing of the spread between u.s. and german 10-year yields. when it comes to a flight to safety and everything about the u.s., that outweighs anything having do with the mystic fundamentals. treasuries being first among equals in that regard. vonnie: there is a question about what a 30-year yield at that level means for u.s. growth in the long-term. if this would be a quick coronavirus hit, with a 30-year i really have fallen below 1.90? over the a tough time, past 18 months, going to the bond market, and mapping out no signals on growth. it seems like it has not

patrick: the u.s. economy is driven by the u.s. consumer.hey are fully employed, getting wage growth. 1.9% of the u.s. economy is driven by the u.s. consumer, so you have to have something that really disrupts consumption. guy: coronavirus. could that be the story that ends up ultimately disrupting that picture? patrick: it is a wildcard. right now it is not having any impact on the u.s. consumer. it would have to continue for a number of weeks to really move out of china. right now it is terrible news for china, hong kong. for it to get to the u.s., i think you would have to cielo more spread. i think we are seeing so many things. today i had to send in email saying if i have been to do china. you see hand sanitizer everywhere. the first two weeks, it spread very quickly. you might be seeing some signs of stabilization. i am obviously not an expert in viruses by any means, but these things do tend to pass. how concerned does it make you when we see headlines out of the fed saying things like this? if china saw significant distress, it could

all being confined either on u.s. military bases or at their own pleasure and at home but we've been looking actually to see you know how much has this been taking over the media which is presumably a good sign of a concern we couldn't find one poll in the last week that's been conducted about concern over the coronavirus that was last weekend which is which i suppose is a point in itself and not found 66 percent of americans say the coronavirus will not impact the personal lives there is a sense that it's happening over there and that u.s. authorities doing everything they can to contain the virus we also get through the sunday shows which is often a good barometer of the issues of the day as far as as far as the media to us is concerned and completely taken over by the democratic primaries and you know the bit about donald trump on fox news as you might imagine and just that one interview a portion of which we just heard on the c.b.s. otherwise not much concern where there is concern amongst the asian american commu

and the u.s. president at the moment in foreign policy terms the confrontation with china i mean europe recognizes that china is more of a can a competitor europe realizes that there is much that needs to be done to protect and promote our own interests these are the china but that is not necessarily doing exactly what the united states says when the united states says it and europe has to find its own way just as. i mean in in concert with the united states perhaps but not following everything that the u.s. does the triumph of liberalism or whatever you like to call it is not exactly the same as the triumph of the united states three's a felon coming back to you for a 2nd one could have been deafened by the the silence from the delegations from berlin from paris as well why is it so awkward for them why is it so awkward for them because who doesn't want a free ride so they're very accustomed to the u.s. of giving security through nato but they also see great economic opportunities with china and

in 2014, u.s. economic data was outperforming almost the entire year and what happened to treasury yields? they went down, down, down. if you look at why that happened, it was because overseas investors bought a tremendous number of treasuries in 2014 because yields outside of the u.s. were minuscule. it is the same thing. this is what is going on. people are coming to the u.s. because you get high quality, high growth, high yield. jonathan: this is a big story. the united states and the u.s. economy to some degree can decouple from the rest of the world to some degree. the treasury market cannot. are we seeing that play out again? bob: we absolutely are seeing it play out. i was in europe last week. the u.s. this week. everywhere i go, clients have too much cash. they are looking for reasons to get into the bond market. if they are in markets with negative yields, they are trying to find that thing in the u.s. which gets them to jump in. i think the market is doing the right thing today. the emplo

u.s. and the taliban are poised to sign a peace deal which may bring washington's the longest war to an end the deal is expected to be negotiated on saturday or in the coming days what the u.s. initially protected as a major success has now outstripped 4 presidential terms are to scale up and look back at the years of war. back in 2003 u.s. officials were telling a story of success when it came to afghanistan listen to donald rumsfeld we're at a point where we clearly. major combat activity to a period of stability and stabilization and reconstruction. activities but 17 years and 4 presidential terms later one of the great powers of military history is about to sign a peace deal with the taliban warlords they've been fighting all this time and the peace treaty looks an awful lot like outright surrender so 1st we have to be realistic and proud of our gains but our generals have determined that this war is unlikely to be won militarily with tremendous additional resources all sides are tired

the u.s. presidential candidate michael bloomberg has said that he will sell his media empire if he becomes president in the head of the latest round of democratic debates being held on wednesday in las vegas will for the 1st time rivals he's been crying foul over the believe spending on campaign ads well it is estimated that bloomberg a splash that more than $400000000.00 on television radio and also online advertising and that is 10 times more than current party from run of bernie sanders spending paris and around 325000000 on his own campaign back in 2016 earlier i discussed the issue with legal analysts jennifer to master the terry and presidential candidate in bora and also political ticker. because if i could start with you. says that bloomberg is buying is that a fair comment i do think it's a fair comment even if you look at the rules that the d.n.c. has instituted this is a complete change of what they've done so far this complete you know this late runners coming into their campaign

jonathan: the u.s.oft, the german pmi, we should touch in it a little bit, a really weird quirk. delivery times, as they linking, the number drops 50 on the subject index. then they invert it as a positive. on this occasion, delivery times have lengthened, not because demand or things have backed up, but supply chain disruption. priya: this pmi in europe did not pick up this coronavirus supply chain disruption. it is sort of an odd quirk in the data. absolutely if you look at the details, it was not a good report, which is why i am surprised with this narrative that the economy is ok and we are seeing the rebound. we have not really seen the weakness. for the chinese pmi, uncertainty around how the number is estimated, if the factories are shut, who are you serving? even if the numbers are good, i would think the real numbers are much worse. jonathan: and thinking about the prospect of rate cuts from the federal reserve sometime in 2020. let's get to the rapidfire round. three quick questions and quick

this is something very very new and every past u.s. president not that we haven't had difficulties with allies but we see allies as a force multiplier of u.s. influence and economic prosperity not as a negative so this is a very new element to president trump's foreign and security policy and certainly europe has felt that most keenly ironically it's the u.s. policy towards europe that has become crucial to his legacy because of his dealings with ukraine impeachment will always be attached to donald trump and the years from now it will be one of the 1st thing students are taught about the 45th president you know one of the many things to go tomorrow is verdict day in this impeachment trial the u.s. president is expected to be acquitted. even republican senators are saying that what he did was wrong and shameful but they say they will not convict him what do you tell people here in germany around the world about the state of american democracy at the moment you know it's obviously been a sad couple weeks if you look at the trial it's qu

what is the u.s.nment trying to do in order to balance economic freedom and national security? about 30 years, the government has required colleges to report this data, gifts that are $250,000 or more annually. the government has said colleges have not been complying. they wanted to do a better job, want a little more robust data. of course, the colleges are reluctant to do that. they say they don't want to give individual names of donors, things like that,of course, thee reluctant to do that. and do not want to reveal trade secrets, if it is other entities giving the money, rather than individual donors. amanda: we have seen universities in the u.s. and elsewhere working closely with chinese academics. that kind of information sharing is considered and do not want to important for academics, not to work in silos. could that be endangered here? janet: possibly. schools are concerned about a lot of things. they want to have an open relationship, especially with scientists, researchers and other parts o
