committee arguing he is not breaking laws by refusing to cooperate. i want to bring in two guests. welcome to you both. talk to me about the letter. reporter: yasmin, we know that the committee will move forward tonight on the contempt referral. meadows attorneying saying this is contrary to the law. he argues that s because i m quoting the good faith of executive privilege and the immunity by a former senior executive firm saying that s not a violation of the statute. in this letter he argues why executive privilege shields and doesn t tackle the central question which is what happens when it is about a former president and the former
when he had covid. that is according to chief of staff mark meadows, the chief chief. they down played just how ill trump was. his blood oxygen levels dropped down to the 830s. normal levels were 90s. trump viewed it as a sign of weakness. trump only relented after he said, better to go under your own power now than be carried out in a gurney in two days. so he apparently has quite a bit to say and is yet at the same time trying to claim executive privilege shields. same contradiction. we will see how that works. up next, actor jussie smollett taking the stand, insisting he never staged any sort of attack against himself. plus disturbing testimony from the trial of ghislaine maxwell ahead. fries or salad? salad!d! good choice! it is. so is screening for colon cancer. when caught in early statages, it s more treatable.
american economy would be growing with better trade policy, if we didn t have the protectionism that s broken out in so many places yeah, i mean, he set records, but it would be historically unprecedented. i mean it would be something president trump could indeed brag about as perfect, the best ever. here s the number here s the thing that jumped out in me in this jobs report, said the number of job postings exceeded the number of unemployed workers by more than 1 million in july. i mean, that s extraordinary. there are so many employers out there, small, mid sized, larger, looking for workers and indeed a lot of it is in the service sector, but the wages have been rising for those people so there must be an amazing sense of optimism out there both by employers and the people who are finding jobs. and yeah, if you could pull the trade component out of it, and rationalize trade, get past it, i think you would see a second boom. paul: what would happen if he got a deal with china, pu
