now, the department, they want to take the muzzle off, of course. and keep in mind, when two former pence aides testified to the federal grand jury, there had been a deal that had already been negotiated in advance to try to steer clear of any of their direct interactions with trump. that happens through the same approach we ve seen used by the house select committee. the fact that the doj is dotting their is and crossing their ts and preparing for a court privilege signals that if information is what you want, negotiation approach, let alone the muzzle, suspect going to cut it. remember, concerns about privilege are believed to be wide. they chose not to pursue any contempt of charges against mark meadows or dani scavino, as opposed to steve bannon and navarro. the department has green lit all of the access to the house select committee s transcripts. that s more than about 1,000 witnesses, i might add. in the word of chairman bennie thompson, no one the committee has talked

healthcare, prescription drugs and more. we need to show democrats across this country that the democratic party can actually get stuff done when we have 50 democrats in the senate, and i think that s where we are right now. so i m all about forward looking, brianna and hello, joe manchin. happy to have you. a new effort to form a viable third party, names from the right, left and center say they will succeed where others failed. soon we ll hear from the president of the united states live at the white house. he ll tout big progress on his agenda, a senate agreement that includes new climate and new health care investments. a package, the president will say in a way that will also take a big bite out of inflation. it is a smaller, but still significant piece of the giant goals the president and has party had back in the beginning of his term. the white house event is a presidential push to get this new senate deal to the finish line and, make no mistake, it is a president
get out the dictionary. we ll define recession for you. here is the bottom line. the biden economy is shrinking as the fed unleashes rapid fire rate hikes to stave off the highest inflation in 40 years. let s get right to it. maria bartiromo joins us now. go ahead and give us the news because they projected .5% on the positive side. the number was a negative .9. we are now in recession and we can confirm that because it is two quarters straight of contraction. the economy shrank in the second quarter by 9/10 percent on top of shrinking in the first quarter by 1.6%. now so far all of the commentary that i m hearing is talking about a shrinking of the economy but the good news for the economy is that job growth has stayed strong. that was why some people were questioning well maybe it is different this time. it is hard to believe that job growth can be up to 300,000 in one month when you are in a recession. what s different this time is that we have an inventory build-up. a l
