is singing somehow he has gotten past the guards at the white house and he joins us live. he is going to be doing varney and company live from the north lawn. ainsley: leaf blower is out there. congratulations you are winning on wednesday. i just missed the street sweeping machine it just went by. john roberts handles these situations for me better than i do. he is gone now i can hear what you have to say. the united states is the most competitive and strongest economy we have had in 10 years since the big crash. why is that? because of the performance of president trump s growth agenda his deregulation agenda and tax-cutting agenda. get rid of the red tape and by the way that s why we are here this morning it s get rid of the red tape day. we are here to report on that that s why we have the most competitive economy in the worlds. jumped that that position.
