And it starts with copper, the mineral copper. Theres copper in brass. Theres copper in bronze. The Statue Of Liberty is sheathed in a layer of copper. Thats about the thickness of two pennies. Pennies themselves used to be copper, but now theyre just coppercovered zinc, which sort of seems sad. It makes financial sense, because copper over time became too valuable to use in something as cheap as a penny, because most of what we use copper for now is conducting electricity. We use copper for wiring. There is a massive global appetite for copper. And the Worlds Largest producer of copper is an american company. Its a company that used to be based in new orleans but now the Mining Company freeport is based in phoenix, arizona. And the freeport Mining Company of phoenix, arizona, they do still mine copper in arizona and
they mine copper in new mexico and in colorado. But they are a gigantic firm. And theyre a global operation. In south america, they mine copper in chile, peru. In indonesi
we have become used to president trump use blunt, even salty language. but when it comes to the other power senators inside the beltway, there still is an expectation of decorum. that changed a little today when senator lindsey graham talked about his willingness to work with the white house. let me just tell you about the critics. when i worked with president obama, and i did on occasion, i was a hero. now when i work with president trump i m two-faced. i know how the game is played and i don t give a damn. i m going to do what s best for the country. if you don t like me working with president trump to make the world a better place, i don t give a that was lindsey graham on live television. that wasn t today s sole moment of courseness. rudy giuliani about took the
maria: welcome back president trump lashing out at a controversial new book on the white house mr. trump calling fire & fury author michael wolff a fraud and the book itself a work of fiction. let s bring in our panel right now ed rollins is here former white house advisor to president reagan, mary kissem l editorial member for the wall street journal good to see you. thank you. maria: you read this book over the weekend. i read the book there s not a whole lot i didn t know that i learned from it except for the total dysfunction in the early stages of the book but everybody knew it was a dysfunction for a couple reasons one is you had a president who had never been in government before, staff that basically wasn t loyal to him, i think the bottom line is the place has settled out since kelly has great accomplishment at the end and we re now focusing all our attention on a book that is irrelevant to a certain extent, the fact you had three power senators in a white house with nobod
the tragedies we start a new legislative year and new calendar year is the president had a great ending of the tax bill and the economy is booming as you know better than anybody and my sense is those are the things we need to talk about. settling scores and all the rest of it, kelly ought to take this book basically go through there and correct the mistakes made in the past and basically there were three power senators there in the beginning not any of them necessarily loyal to the president and one left there that s the trump kids and they probably need to come back to new york and they had their year in washington and get people in there that understand the president s agenda and what they setup and go out and implement it and get ready for 2018. maria: the speculation they may go back to new york so we ll see about that. yeah it s a great city. maria: come bakken joy your time in new york but look this isn t just good news because bannon won t be involved in the midterm electio
supreme court no white house chaos. what remains to be seen is whether or not kelly can wrangle the various power senators that have established themselves here in the west wing. don t forget you ve got the chief of staff office. and then you ve got the white house legal counsel s office. you ve got steve bannon, jared kushner and ivanka trump who have come to be known around the white house as javanka. whether or not all of the information will flow through general kelly to the president, or whether or not some of these people will still go around him. jared and ivanka have indicated they will follow kelly s lead. whether or not that means they will still have access to the president is another question. i imagine they probably will. harris: it s interesting, too, with the new director who came in last week, whether or not he ll continue to report directly to the president. remember his predecessor, i shouldn t say predecessor, but revis left because the chain of command was not s
