david: we saw the playbook for five years. the fed was successful at keeping the dollar week. -- the dollar weak. it never broke 89 until december of last year. s&p's were 700 at the beginning of qe1 and 2100 recently. too easy trades and that five-year playbook were weaker currency stronger stock market. took our long-standing s&p long that we have been pushing because of qe1 we did not get to the point of whether it works for the economy or not. we took that and we said let's take the playbook, we know what worked and let's just cruise across the atlantic and take that playbook to europe and buy stocks. eric: the starting point for the europeans is so different from where it was for the fed. 10 year treasury yields were what? david: they are worse. the unemployed and rate was 10%. today, closer to 13%. they are worse in europe. eric: the starting point -- it is dependent on -- david: i don't think so. that is a common misperception. this is not about driving yields lower or getting credit into the economy. this is about the

the republicans who want to default automatically to the '90s playbook and then the republicans who are a little more savvy saying hold on a sec, we're not going to replay the playbook of the '90s. let's see what hillary clinton says. she may give us enough rope to hang herself, so to speak, but i'd love to take it back to what hilary rosen said. she said, whatever hillary says won't be enough. i'm not sure that's true. hillary could take the opportunity to cut against hype. if she were to for example, take every single question sort of -- remember how chris christie did when the bridgegate scandal came up? he had this really long press conference spoke for almost an hour took every single question until there were no more questions in the room. if she really let it air out, had rjeasonable explanations that would cut against the narrative of secrecy and defensiveness. and frankly answer the questions about where are the e-mails, were any deleted? that would go a very long way to silencing sort of the paranoia on the right and frankly winning over -- that would stop this from plaguing t

it has the playbook. putin is driving this train. it is trying to take ukraine one bite at a time. even though there is a pause, eryone expects them to start ain to take mary apple -- mariopol. what can nato members do to stop further russian aggression in ukraine? guest: first of all, we hope the mik agreements will be upheld, and that they will lead to the ultimate g goal of restoring ukrainiann sovereignty over its east, including control of its border. the minsk agreements lay a path for a good agreement. there is a doubt whether russia wants to see it only fulfilled whether they will use aew pretext to break the cease-fire. think right now we have made clear that will face increasing costs. this is not just nato's busineess , although we have been firm in our stance. we have taken sts to protect ourselves, and we are a assist in ukrainee with defense aistance. but the european union is equally important, maybe more important. the key weapon against russia is sanctions. the european union took an important decision at its last summit meeting, when it said this is linked to thfu

what we know is job cuts are one part of the 3g playbook. they are incredibly ruthless about getting costs out of a business, improving operating margins. you said in the intro, you talk about 7000 job cuts at heinz. we frankly do not know what the exact cuts will look like that craft. i think it is safe according to the analyst and investors i spoke with to assume that those are coming. betty: how much does buffett has as influence over that strategy between himself and 3g? how much do they consult with them may look at restructuring and rebranding these companies? noah: one thing, i do not think they will be looking to rebrand the companies fear they really do like the brands if you listen to what one buffett set or the guys at 3g headset. they like these brands. buffett is really going to let 3g run the operation. he said that all along that he is more of a financing partner. i think the way to look at this is more as buffett trust these guys as managers, he knows what the playbook is, and he will let them execute. betty: how much my does

do you get the playbook on the offense? some of these like the greenhouse gas emissions are big picture executive orders, other things may be smaller bore regulations, grants, things from multiple agencies packaged together by the white house to give it more impact. in the fourth quarter of the clinton administration, there was project modesta. going into the agencies, getting stuff from the agencies, what do we do -- is there a project dese, or project zients? how are you coming up with these executive actions? brian: there is a project zients, but i told you about it, i would have to kill you all. so it is a good question. and part of this comes from leadership and direction from the top, and part of the tone of that the president set. many of you have heard this directly from him, but coming off the election and over the last couple of months was, you know, we are in the fourth quarter. a lot of games get decided in the fourth quarter. that has always resonated with me as a patriots fan. we need to be creative and stay a

another element of the party playbook. the thinking here was there are certain groups we have to give very special protection to because they are victimized and they were especially concerned about children women and the elderly. pretending that in fact wasn't black who were most often victimized, we look at data on women. like women in particular are three times more likely than their white counterparts to be. this is the second statistic i came across where i thought okay i've got to push back because it's a bit too much because i had no idea about this. i looked at data on homicide of children five years and younger. you know what i found? black children five years and younger are seven times more likely than their counterpart to the murdered. seven times more. but if you look at the bills named the amber alert i list all of these. not a single one of them for black children. some of us don't even know this is happening. there is in a conversation about this. defend the rights not just a living man by saying more for de

playbook of the asian messenger players, making it a platform, payments, ordering a taxi, potentially shopping as well, they already have stickers in messenger which is similar to what line and we chat do as well. my question, why do it in messenger and not whatsapp? >> i think they're going to actually see probably maybe this year, maybe later on in the ear, but i think you will start to see more integration. when you saw the facebook purchased instagram at first wasn't really a lot. now when you save photos they get sent to both platforms, likes, shares, all these things can happen between the platforms. one of the things facebook messenger benefits from that whatsapp doesn't, use it on a desk top and mobile device. i wonder if we will see more integration as far as that goes between the whatsapp mobile device and the facebook messenger app. this is about a move to make it so you can send money and stickers and communications and videos and content within a messenger app. it's fascinating to see the direction they're going. >> i'm all about sending the stickers. i'm glad they're doi

they are following a party playbook and following the same party playbook. the rules of how we do this. notice how i took the logo so they are facing one another. they are facing out words. they are on the same page and here is what it consists of. pointing in the direction of where they are going, the first is this idea of the nationalization of crime starting in 1968. some of the are old enough. you don't have to admit it but old enough to remember this push for crime in 1968. it is spreading everywhere. suburban america as well -- it is everywhere. if you look carefully at uniform crime reports, the most conservative what they show is crime did not spread geographically. crime remained very much concentrated in the inner-city where minorities live end in larger percentages. another element of the party playbook was construction of a new set of stakeholders and the thinking was there were certain groups we have to give special protection to because they are being victimized and they were concerned about children, women and the elderly. most often victimize

they really have seemed to have the -- following the playbook to the letter. i thought the press conference this afternoon from the two ceos was particularly effective. i think they are doing a good job. but family members have such a need to know facts, to know -- and to know it first. that's what's critical. >> i hope they keep all these family members informed. tom, you worked at the fbi. we understand three fbi agents are now working with the french part of this investigation. if you were one of those fbi agents what would you be looking for? >> normally the agents wouldn't be right at the crime scene right now. what they would be doing is gathering the flight manifest information, passenger list crew list information about the pilot, co-pilot to run through fbi data bases all over the world. and to assist the french the spanish and the german authorities and the other countries with nationals on the plane, in notifying them communicating with them about the passengers that were on that plane. >> in other words, you go through all 150 people on the plane.
