Under the Clean Air Act. The decisions were made before the state of texas even had an opportunity to comment that they had a memo or a checklist almost after the fact. Are you aware of that . I am not sure what you are referring to, congressman. We had many conversations with states, both individually and in groups. Of course, this is a proposal. We are still taking comment. I have had a least multiple hours of conversation with states since june 2nd. So there have been lots of upper today to talk. Just as an example, are you aware of the fact that if texas coast down every existing fossil fuel generation plant in the state, every one, coalfired, natural gas in the state of texas that it would still not meet the new proposed espns. Are you aware . The plan relies on states implementing im not asking i am asking if you are aware of that in the state of texas.

I dont usually Pay Attention to what the president says, just as a matter of course, like i watch what he does, not what he says is kind of my thing, but i am worried about the president s mental state a little bit, and so ive been paying a little more attention than usual to what hes saying and right now his twitter feed is like a super soaker of nonsense and it is going off, like, every 30 seconds and hes contradicting himself and things are getting crazy and i just have a feeling this is going to be one of those nights, lawrence. This is going to be one of those nights. Well, if we if we knew the exact timing of when he gets some of the doses of some of the things hes taking, maybe we could have the medical experts explain to us where he is in any psychic cycle at any moment. Yeah, that twitter feed is going to be something to watch tonight. Yeah, its or maybe not. Or maybe not. Good choice. Good choice. Go home. Go to sleep. Thank you, rachel. I will do. I will. Thank you, lawrence

So this may be investors saying, oh, maybe you are okay with ending some of these trade wars. Well talk about this trade deal and what it means. Lets get to the white house where right now the president and first lady are wrapping up a meeting with the president of kenya and his wife. Geoff bennett joins me. I want to get back to senator mccain and the controversy over flags that are at half staff in congress and many other places in the country but not at the white house. They were at half staff and are now back to full staff. Reporter flags are lowered by president ial proclamation so its the president who decides who receives that honor and the recent tradition for senators who die in office have been to have flags lowered in their honor from the day of death until their burial. So during president obamas time in office, he had four Sitting Senators die. There was ted kennedy, robert byrd, daniel inouhe. John mccain under President Trump did not receive that
honor. He appears to be
