Breathtaking, and insupportable, and indeed at times it was laughable. Mr. Bannon not only refused to answer questions about meetings he had attended and conversations he had had during that time after the campaign, but it went so far as to refuse to answer questions about conversations he had after he left the administration, and with people who played no role in the administration, had never been in the administration.

The fbi was alerted to this, what your reaction . Guest i havent received todays papers but the fbi gets lots of leads that come into the office from people who see something they dont like and they reported to the fbi. From what i understand the fbi tried to identify nikolas cruz on what was that, facebook or youtube and they could not. There are different steps, Different Levels of investigation and there are o different investigative steps that can be taken in each one of those levels and so in this case somebody reported the youtube, the fbi can do so much work but its underneath in the assessment phase and they couldnt use legal processes such as grand jury subpoenas or search warrants to get further into identifying who nikolas cruz was. Host explain that more. Washington post has after th

But this is something i have been following a long time. I wrote a book about wall street a little over 20 years ago. I have been following the Financial Markets and the pension crisis for a long time. A lot of people talk about the problems of the Social Security system, which i think are grossly exaggerated. But there are people who do not want to admit problems around the Pension System because People Associated are looking to cut back up with engines or eliminate them. It does no good to deny there is a problem. Pension funds have made assumptions about returns they will g
