they're doing with it, that's a problem from my perspective. now, is that a problem for everyone? i don't know the answer because we would have to ask the same foundational question to each and every person that has it and frankly, the other question we should ask, is the national security clearance a way to monetize their position? or their previous position. if the answer is yes, that should be brought into light as well. neil: good point. senator, you don't mind if i switch gears here. turkey's president erdogan responded to what he calls a coup attempt to the united states and the hill is speaking to this or picking this up. obviously it could escalate here at the same time the chinese are coming here next week maybe to cobble together or re-enter talks on trade impasses. how do you do this, the trade and so forth and do you expect it to happen before the know november election?
