Microsoft chairman John Thompson is speaking exclusively to Bloomberg Television about the future of the company. Cory johnson joins me now in the studio. You know him from covering him over the years. Is the chairman of microsoft and took over for bill gates. I think the role of John Thompson at microsoft cannot be overstated. They clearly made some really big nonmicrosoft like decisions at the board level not least of all making the decision about a Senior Leadership change. John thompson was the guy directing the board to make the decision that put pressure on Steve Ballmer and will force him out even though he is one of the largest shareholders and one of the original microsoft guys.

Deal on major components by friday. The four key negotiators, pelosi, schumer, meadows, mnuchin, they plan to meet this evening. Lets start there with nbcs kasie hunt. Shes on capitol hill.
