I have read the book. Not only that, i highlighted it. [laughter] i made notes. Come on. Thats a phenomenon with the movie but people talk about books without reading them. Sometimes when they are promoting the movie im working off your page. I feel i could do better than Rachel Maddow right now the goal is to go even deeper than she did. That congratulations on the book and these ideas of what is happening that we wonder about how did this happen . How destructive is it and will it ever get better. But a question of how you got into journalism i got a sense that you were a journalism nerd the way i was a comedy nerd as a kid. Out often interviewed comedians i would hunt down john candy or Jerry Seinfeld because i was obsessed and you did a version of the same thing. The only job i ever wanted in my life when i was five i wanted to be a trash man that was a big event in my house. Was so amazed. Ever since then i wanted to be a journalist. Some people will say the two jobs are the same.
This event also included remarks from Vice President pence, kellyanne conway, and education secretary betsy devos. Thank you very much. Were here to talk about opening our schools. We have some of our Great Teachers and parents in a very representative group, and we also have some extraordinary experts with us. I like to maybe start off by asking our Vice President to say a few words, and then if you would, betsy and kelly and. We will go around and talk to some of the parents and teachers, and thank you all for being here very much. Thank you, mr. President. I want to thank all of the educators and leaders who are here. And part of the conversation. President trump made it clear from the time that we made our way through the difficult days of 45 days to slow the spread, the president said we want to work with states to open up america again. Weve got to open up american schools. At the president s direction, we have literally provided billions of dollars already to states to begin to
Jerome powell was on capitol hill to update lawmakers on the economy and Monetary Policy. He spoke about the Economic Impact of the coronavirus, Cyber Threats in the Banking Sector and his influence in the Global Economy among other topics. This services hearing is three hours. I now recognize myself for four minutes to give an Opening Statement. Id like to welcome back chairman powell. As i discussed earlier, and at our last hearing with you, i remain very concerned about the president s efforts to interfere with the feds interMonetary Policy. A recent news story noted that trump has tweeted over 100 times about your nomination. Many of those tweets appear to be attempting to exercise pressure on the fed. Chairman powell, you and the fed board of governors must not be swayed by these aggressive tactics. Fedsolding the independence, you should also be mindful of public perception. Of course, trump continues to claim credit for Economic Growth that was put in motion by the policies of p
Then i have the article 2 where i have the right to do whatever i want as president. That is as wrong as when president nixon said a similar thing. Thats not what the constitution provides. Thats not what the country demands. He does not have the right to do whatever he wants. Turning to the second abuse of power, uninformed powers. The American People suffered that foreign influence when President Trump treated military aid that had been approved taxpayer dollars and decided to treat it as his own checkbook to try to further his own reelection chances. That is what the founders were concerned about. The framers nucor rupt leaders concentrate their powers is to manipulate elections and undercut adversaries. Thats why they thought it was a critical abuse and that could support and lead to impeachment let me show another clip on the campaign trail. Russia, if youre listening i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by ou
A tantrum after 16yearold Greta Thunberg was named person of the year. We all knew he wanted to be person of the year, we all know it bothered him. But he showed uncharacteristic resfrap restraint. He was on Good Behavior. Sadly, that Good Behavior lasted just under 24 hours, because this morning, at 7 22 a. M. , he wrote, so ridiculous, greta must work on her anger management problem then go to a good oldfashioned movie with a friend. Chill, greta, chill, says the sweaty old man whos mad at a magazine because they didnt put him on the cover of it. And the fact that Greta Thunberg is a teenager, im old enough to remember a time when everyone at the white house had a fullblown hissy fit because a witness at trumps impeachment hearing the gaul ll to say the word bar. This kid is very good. Right after trump tweeted, she changed her twitter bio to a teenager working on her anger management problem, currently chilling and watching a movie with a friend.
