Book is called age of reckoning the struggle for global dominance. And a staff writer for the new yorker, her latest piece is titled at the communist Party Congress, xi jinping place the emperor. I am pleased to have both of them. Let me begin with you, richard. Jinping come out of this . Richard as more powerful than ever, any budget arrivals, it is dangerous to challenge them and heresy to challenge him. He dominates not just the politburo, in the central committee, over the last year he has all of his people into the heads of the big provinces and cities. He is quite nonchallenge will. The Big Questions is due what he will do with that power, that is not clear. Charlie he clearly suggested china has a broader role to play in the world. Richard that has been the most astounding thing about this congress. A transformative event. Xi jinping is not the story, the economy is part is the story. China for many years had a dictum for their Foreign Policy to buy this type. The same thing app
Jon surprise it all ties together. Charlie fear . Jon heres what i would honestly say. I dont believe we are a fundamentally different country today than we were two weeks ago. The same country, with all its grace and flaws and volatility and insecurity and strength and resilience exists today as existed two weeks ago. The same country that elected donald trump elected barack obama. I feel badly for the people for whom this election will mean more uncertainty and insecurity. But i also feel like this fight has never been easy and the ultimate irony of this election is, the cynical strategy of the republicans, which is, our position is government doesnt work but they are not draining the swamp.

Melissa i dont know about that. Bring in todays panel. Fox businesss own Charlie Gasparino. Tom sullivan with us as well and marshall aurback from the institute of new economic thinking. What did you think about that, charlie . I think i hate the most about that he is dropping his gs. Did you ever notice, sitting around wait inch . Melissa why does that bother you. Bothers dan henninger, whenever he makes a point about use of executive power melissa condescending to the public. Wants to be a regular guy and it just sound condescending. Melissa what do you think . Classic second term. He news he doesnt have to run for anything again. I think Valerie Jarrett is very much behind this thinking. And he has a very small, closed group that is telling him these things. So he, i think he believ

It is mild out there 59 degrees looking from the palmyra cove nature park in new jersey across the delaware, lights of philadelphia, center city see the number 61 degrees above the three the bottom of your set, there are few showers there, off to the north.

Washington to other state lawmakers who have left office in what he said is disgrace. He said whatever good work she did while in office it will be forgotten because of how she left office. We also learned outside of that courtroom how it is state senator Leanna Washington is able to keep her state funded pension despite pleading guilty today. I apologize to those who have been negatively impacted. Reporter at times washington tears up. Ive always been known to stand up for what i believe in and what is right. However, this resolution with the Attorney Generals Office is the best decision for my constituents, my family, and the people of this commonwealth.
