Or the rest of the world. With Earnings Seasons coming up and a few key Economic Data points later this month, how confident are you in the economic recovery . Great setink we had a of economic figures really since midmay through june when the reopening story was gaining the most momentum. Reports,o great jobs pmi, sales, housing data, all to the upside. Economic price indices we follow are in the u. S. Now at alltime highs. That being said, i think we may have a time of slowing in perhaps in the weeks ahead as Economic Data plays catchup with what we are seeing in the country with a slower reopening broadly. So the job state of this past month captured the time from midmay to midjune. The next jobs report will capture midjune to mid july, when we started seeing thoses likes and those spikes and a pause in the reopening. As you mentioned, we also had earnings starting in earnest next week july 15. From an earnings perspective for two to we are seeing downward for q2, we are seeing a do
A nonprofit nonpartisan place that has independent thinkers. So to sit here at new america and help to design the organization itself. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have done more in this last year that we have accomplished in a lifetime. As a filmmaker and bestselling author. You can see trump and his generals of what new america is. So not only to think independently, its almost for the country right now thats how it struck me.

Thank you for hosting this event. So you make mistakes all the time. And previously i want to know everything. Then youll never miss the boo
I see that as a feature, not a bug in our system of government. You help the president fight for his share of the turf based on article to authorities. Each branch takes care of what it has to do to defend its own boundaries. It makes it easier to just everyone will see everything through the lens of today, not 10 years ago or 10 years from now. I represented a lot of people in the u. S. Senate. They really love that they have a big say in picking who is on federal courts but in the constitution the president makes the nomination with advice and consent of the senate. The question when mike lee speaks, what about the stuff the senate has come up with over the years, Institutional Senate prerogatives where the constitution refers to the senate but is a subset of the senate. It is my job to say the senates view is i think we should take this seriously. The view is the president makes the choice and they will hate when i say this but i will get in trouble with somebody, and that is someth
Distance himself from because the immediate impacts are felt by others a long way away and in this case i think thats quite a person with respect to extreme heat. They didnt show for this for this discussion because the most challenging conditions worldwide are faced away from the west they are faced in places like Southeast Asia around the persian gulf and around east asia and when we see impacts like that somewhere else is perhaps easier than appreciate the agency of the situation and perhaps that that propagates down to policy that does not an area that are all comment on so to say you do see this up close this is not something that is far away and distant for you and for the red cross c tell us how much more this is a bigger piece of what you do now having to deal with the after effects of Climate Change and whether. Certainly sir. I am from sea and now responding to up to 3000 weather events in just the last decade and expecting that this will continue to increase and for Climate
