to talk with mitt romney on the campaign trail. Hes set to become the republican senator in the age of trump. Plus, do not congratulate. Russia stuns spain at the world cup. But first the interviews, the Lobbying Effort and even the ads are underway to replace Justice Anthony kennedy on the Supreme Court. The president is back home after spending the weekend at Bedmin
They say that created an unknown factor. Other climates talk about the tax cuts for a sugar rush. They say its not clear if people will spend in the if youture as they did during the Second Quarter. President trump addressed the issue of sustainability. He predicted growth of 3 or better. Emphasis on better. Here is the president. In the Second Quarter of this year the United States economy grew at the amazing rate of 4. 1 . Ill say this right now and ill say it strongly. As the trade deals come in one by one well go higher than these numbers. So, neil, most economist if you look at on average what they expect they expect 2. 5 through the end of 2019. That eye higher than the 2 they have been tracking. These are the same economist. Yes, indeed. All right, thank you very much. Now to the remark the president made to sean. He thinks if you think this is off the charts how about eight or nine percent. He said he could do that by have the Trade Deficit that will have a benefit to the couns
The TrumpPutin relationship is examined. Russia. Putin has an untrammeled authority. I dont see any checks on his power. He is able to make singular, rapid decisions. The absolutism there is unlike anything ive ever seen in russia. All that power is propped up by an astonishing Approval Rating, over 80 . And thats according to american pollsters. Donald trump wins the presidency. But when the United States elected a new president , it looked like russia had fallen for a new leader. There were toasts all over moscow. At the parliament, known as the duma. On talk shows. And at bars. [ laughter ] we are the champions of the world but one man seemed utterly unsurprised by trumps victory. Hes happy to take credit. And that means that he won the u. S. Election. The man who is simultaneously president of russia and in charge of the United States. At the heart of all this are some deadly serious questions. Does Vladimir Putin have some kind of hold over donald trump . We simply dont know. But
Prosecutors, including that secret recording made of trump just before the 2016 election. As anybody would say, thats the strongest possible evidence. There certainly was evidence of knowledge by the president of a payoff to the playboy playmate. We begin this morning with the president threatening to strip the Security Clearance of half a dozen former officials. Never mind some of them dont even have clearance anymore. That is not stopping the white house from stthe policy of paybk to vocal critics. I want to get to how it breaks down. The president is said to still be considering this move. While none of his people hes targeting are still in the government, current officials are certainly taking notice. Right now, these are the men and women on the list. Former cia director john brennan. Former director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Former cia director michael hayden. Monetary gain. No, that wasnt an snl skit. We already know the president has attacked u. S. Intelligence ag
Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, Breaking News and international stories. I had an aide next to my ear nearly screaming within the last several minutes when the president was with the italian president in the oval office but its an example of just how hard they are trying to keep reporters from asking the president questions. Obviously they cant be do that in the News Conference coming p up. You may see the president with the investigation, the president may be tempted to call on somebody in the friendly conservative media to lob a softball at him. Weve seen him try to do that before, wolf. Its one of these q a questions. Two questions from american questions, two questions from italian journalists, is that right . Thats right. Obviously the president at some of these two plus twos, one thing that weve noticed is at the very end of it, this happened at checkers with
mueller and the Special Counsel calling him out by name. There are some glaring factual errors in his tweets. Lets go to a
