[applause] >> well, thank you very much for having me, walter. i think first of all, immediately after the election results came official, in addition to the state department's warm encouraging message of congratulations,, there was one particular gentleman tweeted, secretary mike pompeo. and he tweeted, i quote, the united states congratulates tsai ing-wen on her reelection in taiwan's election. taiwan once again demonstrates the strength of its robust democratic system. thank you, president tsai, for your leadership in developing a strong u.s. partnership. and we thank him, secretary pompeo, and all taiwan's robust democratic system and president tsai leadership in developing the u.s. partnership. we could not agree with him more. and here congressman yoho, i would like to also take this opportunity to thank you so much for some of the most gracious and powerful support. this brought me back to march march 2019, right here on this stage of the heritage foundation, congressman yoho joined senator kori gardner of colorado and cheered by doctor ho

walter: it will be a challenge if things get worse.the world and they can shift production. that is a critical question for the earnings call. i don't think it is an issue now, but we all read the news reports. this is obviously something that is changing by the day see how it impacts them and other companies. francine: how nimble are they in changing the supply chain because of the trade war or the virus? walter: the trade war was supposed to be very harmful and they managed that process very well in terms of shifting when needed. tim cook, when he was first elected as ceo, part of the reason was his ability to operate a good supply chain. this is literally what he is known for. i don't think we can assume that -- we all know the timeline on what is happening with the coronavirus and how many different plants this may impact, but we have the right guy in that job. it before with challenges on the trade war and we will just have to look at it day by day. , andine: walter piecyk gabriela santos stays with us. .om: 3m out with earnings i

my response was, who is walter wriston?e complainedand about how america doesn't know any thing about the past and tell young people in america have done a terrible job by not honoring great business leaders and innovators to it so i am honored to try to correct this in some small way. and the part of the walter wriston legacy that is still so present, he transformed citigroup, scaled it up like crazy from a bank that served the city to a bank that serves the world, atm sheehan, credit cards, interstate banking, turning into a money center bank. of wristone legacy draws our attention to our questions of scale, problems of scale. that is what i would like to focus on tonight, that we have a question of scale. if something is good, more of it is better, so there is a quantity element. there is also a quality element of once you get to a certain scale, you qualitatively do different things. so this was a position for citibank. and perhaps there is also a formative dimension where you are changing the world into a better place.

alix: walter, good to see you. walter todd of greenwood capital and dana peterson of citigroup.be sticking with me. on bloomberg markets we will have an exclusive interview with dallas fed president robert kaplan. 10:30 eastern time. now we want to give you an update on what is making headlines outside the business world. viviana hurtado is here. viviana: a beautiful monster of a trade deal. that is how donald trump described the agreement with china. today he is set to sign it. it is phase one of the agreement. fora could be punished violations on currency, intellectual property, and the trade tariffs. u.s. tariffs on chinese imports will stay in place until at least the election. if the countries signed a more extensive deal, more tariff relief would be considered. today the houseboats to send impeachment articles against president trump to the u.s. senate. that would lead to a trial early next week. the president has yet to settle on his defense strategy and the lawyers that would represented him. the republican senate is almost certain to acquit him. president trump former n

it forces exactly the question that the supreme court confronted in the walter nixon case. the rule is unconstitutional as applied to impeachments, which happened -- >> because of walter nixon? >> if their argument is a particular needs standard -- it has to be. particular needs standard place the district court in position of being the evidentiary gate keeper for a senate trial. if that's the conclusion we come to then it does raise profound questions. >> that's not the conclusion the court has to reach. i know you want us to say it that way but it wouldn't be necessary if we were to reject your argument. frame it that way. we don't know what evidence would come forth as a result of an order that says someone shall comply with the subpoena. >> right. >> then they appear. refuse to testify. exerting privilege. et cetera. who knows where it would go. so we don't get into that. if we accept the committee's argument. that's what i'm trying to get at. everyone wants to push us into this political battle and in some instances they may be great but i don't think necessarily it me

that runs into the walter next in problem. >> it may depend on the walter next and problem. i understand the court to be thing it's not interested in this argument but that is why the premise of this case is mistaken. if this case goes to a higher court that would be the lead argument that there is no reason we ought to be putting district court's in this position at all but if we are going to undertake this, sensitive to those concerns with guidelines we will argue about in district court, district court at a minimum, you need to show a particularized need and a group of redactions means a particularized need for grand jury information. >> how long does that take? >> we are prepared to proceed. >> i think it would be up to district court. >> not clear on what the district court does. that is not relevant. the committee says it is relevant. so the whole notion district court cannot control the senate trial or control documents it was ordered to release, this is a question of how far in the district court go when a representation is made. >> the representation, we know not to

but in a letter to the walters it did not acknowledge doing anything wrong. we could not contact the pet sitters because they still listed in an line complaint it said it was made up. robert handa, nbc bay area news. >>> the case against the golden state killer is moving forward. attorneys nor joseph deangelo argued the case should be delayed to allow to better preparech the judge denied that request and ordered the preliminary hearing to take place in early may. the defense said extra time is needed since the case is one of the largest and most complex murder trials in state history. he faces 13 counts of murder after prosecutors say he killed and raped women across the state p from -- from 1974 to 1986. >>> new reaction to the video showing an off-duty police officer shooting and killing a man. we aired this video last night at 11:00. it appears to show a van and car going for the same parking spot in vallejo. after a heated exchange between the drivers, eric reason pops open the hood of his car and then takes out -- again it is a gun. and he pops open the

lahnny chen, amy walter, kristen welker and mark leibovich. what republican senators that many of us have identified as potential voters for witnesses and more evidence responded to some issues with the house impeachment manager, joni ernst, it's hard to keep an open mind when there's so much baloney being thrown at you. lisa murkowski, schiff was moving right along then he got a couple of places and that was unnecessary. maybe we'll all overread these things, but it is interesting that here is some folks going out of their way to indicate finding ways to not be for witnesses or not be happy about the house impeachment manager. >> that's right. they were almost given a way out, chuck. what was notable talking to democrats and republicans, they said we just don't have four votes right now. romney might be a yes, collins might be a yes but murkowski indicating she's not going to be a yes, so where do you find those other votes? they're looking potentially at lamar alexander. one democrat said to me last night we're looking for our john mccain. i

you don't think that runs into the walter nixon problem? >> it may, depending on how it unfolds with the walter nixon problem. again, i understand the court saying it is not interested in this argument, but i think if this goes to a higher court, that would be the lead argument. that there is no reason why we should be putting courts in a court's in this position at all. but if you are going to undertake this endeavor, but perhaps with guidelines we will argue about at district court, they at a minimum need to be saying you don't get everything, you have to show a particularized need and not get them grand jury information. >> how long would that take? >> we would be prepared to proceed as we have. >> how long would it take for the district court? >> i don't know. i think that would be up to the district court. >> i guess i'm not clear to what -- as to what the district court does. the community says your honor, it is relevant. but why? the whole notion that the district court cannot control either the senate trial or control documents orde

dy: i'm now joined abouby our politics monday team, amy walter and tamra keith of npr. hello to both of you. it ismo politicay. we are just 21 days from the iowa caucuses. let's start with these polls. friday we had the pole come out with bernie sanders on top, a lot of conversation, elizabeth warren, pete buttigieg, joe biden behind him, but then today, there's another poll that has joe biden on top with 24%. d then bunched behind hi bernie sanders, pete buttigieg, elizeth warren. what is going on? >> thet b thing to do at this point is say, one of people could win the nomination. no one should be surprised on election night. eth real question in my mind is who has the most to lose or. ga if you are elizabeth warren, pete buttigieg, and bernie sanders,re islly is a slingshot for you. they are all hoping that the win in iowa is going to give them montum to overtake the person who is leading in the national e bidenwhich is and maybe that is enough to undercut joe biden's lead nationally and in some of these states that come afterward. if you are joe biden, you can afford

when walter cronkite comes out, and he says, "ford is seriously considering joining the ticket eagan"-- well, turns out that when walter cronkite used the phrase uld be like a co-presidency if ford was gonna be the vice-president for reagan," reagan got upset with that. he said, "this isn't gonna work." and he then ultimately called george bush. i took the call. it was drew lewis who was working foreagan. said, "governor reagan would like to speak to ambassador bush," and i handed him the phone. and he said, "yes, sir. yes. how are you? yes, sir. and he said, "yes." and the only question i think reagan asked him was "will you support my position on abortion?" and pres--ambassador bush said, "yes, sir, i will." david: now, you were given a task by ronald reagan to help on the debates? james: to help with the debates, help negotiateebates and help prepare for the debates. david: was it difficult to prepare rean for the debates? people were not confident that he was a good debater. james: a lot of his close-end people didn't want him to debate. i wanted him to. i believe nancy wanted him

thank you for your time. >> thank you walter. what ale lex kershaw your thoughts on walter's perspective of what it took. >> well, there was a critical moment on omaha beach, a critical moment for the entire invasion actually. so many men had been wounded and killed and there was little communication. around 10:30, 11:00 in the morning, bradley five miles out at sea rest sea seriously considered pulling troops off omaha beach. if he would have, i believe that d-day would have been a disaster, a great defeat, not a great victory for allied forces but the difference was made as bradley said the difference was made by individual americans young officers getting their guys to stand up, walk into the line of fire and have the courage to sacrifice their lives and lead others into enemy fire. it came down to individuals. maybe four or five dozen young officers on omaha beach. that made the difference between victory and defeat on d-day and during the entire battle so yes we can get it down to critical moments and we can see key individu

abbott: thanks, walter. look, i should offer this opening observation that conservatism is not an ideology. and i would be reluctant to even call it a philosophy. conservatism is a state of mind as much as anything else. it is a set of instincts. ultimately, it is respect for what is and a reluctance to change what works, other than where it is obvious that there's something that would be better. and invariably, that something which would be better is more of a restoration than a reform. it is going back to something which better suits these times than that which had perhaps corrupted what had well suited earlier times. so, conservatism is certainly not a systematic philosophy based on a particular idea in the way that liberalism might be, or socialism might be, or communism might be. that is the first point i would make. now, conservatism tends to be what people who regard themselves as conservatives think and do at any particular time. and the greatest contemporary conservative in australia obviously was j
