protection agency. i know donald trump doesn t like it and the head of the e.p.a. doesn t like it, but americans like that rule companies can t dump stuff in your water. it could be a gray area. because the e.p.a. is important and the title, environmental protection agency doesn t mean there s not fat to cut. there s fat all over the government to cut. it s low level nondefense programs. we have had budget fights and big deficits and it s impossible to cut medicare and social security. the military spending has been relatively restrained. so, essentially there s been a lot of cutting in the programs. what you will find is we are going to spend as much money is popular once it comes out as specific program cuts, that becomes it. i want to talk about what president trump wants to cut. cut the conversation on russia. it ain t ending. the latest investigations into
