Would think donald trump is a victim of all of these schemes to get money from him because thats all this trial has shown. And it also, its just so amazing that this is what the new york d. A. Is focusing his times on, you know . The city in part is on fire, and, you know, these juror withs on the way to the courthouse have to worry about getting thrown in front of a subwaying and they know that person wouldnt get prosecuted. But somebody who maybe had an incorrect entry on their books eight a years ago about something that happened 18 years ago or 16 years ago, its truly remarkable. Maria it really is remarkable. And, you know, Stormy Daniels testimony the ore oday, monica the other day, monica, certainly creative, certainly salacious. But not a lot of relevance to business records. Zero relevance [laughter] to the actual case at hand and, frankly, there is no case. Donald trump doesnt do anything wrong, he didnt break any laws, so they manufactured this case out of thin air. And then
I will pass it over to jd foster. Pleasure to have you with us today. Nice to be here with my colleague, randy. Before we begin i want to acknowledge the people in houston and those suffering from hurricane harvey. Wish them on behalf of the chamber the safety and swiftest possible recovery from what theyre dealing with. The economy is in its ninth year of expansion. Which is fairly notable. That makes it the third longest in modern era. By next spring we will have tied for second and curiously, despite the length of the recovery and expansion, we seem to be possibly heading into a period of acceleration. Normally as the expansion goes along, the economy slows a bit. Instead we may have something of an acceleration. The reason for that, is somewhat in this chart. If you look down on the far lefthand side of november, theres the little dip, that corresponds to the period right before the election. And we had the election and surprising many people, the stock market has taken off since t
Judgment that i would not be responsibly carrying out my oversight powers if i did not press intelligence issues to clarify what the nsa director said repeatedly about the data collection. So i decided that it was necessary to put the question to the director of National Intelligence and i have my staff send the actual questions a day in advance so that the director would be prepared to answer. The director said the answer is no, the nsa does not knowingly collect it on millions of americans. After the hearing, had my staff called the Directors Office on this matter and urge them to correct the record. Accordingly, the office decided to let this inaccurate statement stand. My office made it clear in my staff said clearly that this was wrong and unacceptable to leave the American People misled and we continue to warn the public about the problem of surveillance law over the following weeks with the june disclosures. Now, given after those disclosures, there has been an effort by officia
Everybody all set up . Obviously im grateful to have my fellow president s here as well as the Vice President. Before i begin, i want to say a few words about the situation in syria. As you have seen, today we released our unclassified assessment detailing with high confidence that the Syrian Regime carried out a chemical weapons attack that killed well over a thousand people, including hundreds of children. This follows horrific images that shocked us all. This kind of attack is a challenge to the world. We cannot accept a world where women and children and innocent civilians are gassed on a terrible scale. This kind of attack threatens our National Security interests by violating wellestablished International Norms against the use of chemical weapons, by further threatening friends and allies of ours in the region, like israel and turkey and jordan, and it increases the risk that chemical weapons will be used in the future and fall into the hands of terrorists who might use them agai
