waive executive privilege. the president exerts executive privilege and only the white house and the president can waive that. director brennan gave me the impression then that that was like that s the rule, that s the law. i will have to go with that. do you believe the president s entitled to withhold his or her communications from congress if the conversation is used in a whistleblower case? i think that the president, when he conducts diplomacy and deals with foreign heads of state, he has every right to be able to have that information be held within the white house and the executive branch and if yesterday i think the transmission of the call is unprecedented and it s also i think that other future leaders when they interact with our head of state, might be more cautious in what they say and reduce the interaction that they have with the president because of that release. so we may need to change our

there isn t any sort of sweep or reform unless this president really steps forward and exerts capital to do so and giving republicans cover. there s no evidence he will do that and there s no sense he will take any step on a few small things in part that perhaps the nra won t support them but not oppose them too much but if he can get something across he won t be asked to do more. phil rucker, it s an imperfect parallel and comes to mind. after charlottesville, why doesn t he come out and rebuke david duke and every white nationalist and every white supremacist and everyone that comes close to representing that world view. this person said he doesn t want to deprive himself of a single voter. if he was too afraid of defending a white supremacist, what in god s name will he be doing to defend a gun enthusiast? there is nothing. in the aftermath of the el paso

they are. well i have not said that. i ve told you to date on the first $250 billion. growth and trade tensions will have an effect on the u.s. economy. who said that? jerome powell. jerome powell. don t get me started. look when jerome powell. he lowered rates and he ended quantitative easing. and he should have quit there. instead he got on and started talking and the market went which down because he said the wrong thing. if you simply look, erin at the q 2 data you can see the footprints of the fed s foolish policy of rate hikes all over the footprint. here issed what happened. when he raised the rates by 100 basis points oefrp the last year what he did was set up a scenario where he suppresses american investment, pushes up the dollar and suppressing exports. if you did the printout of the q 2 numbers you you saw that we lost two thirds of a point of growth because of the lower exerts because of the higher
