Joining me right now is the chief economist for jpmorgan chase, michael faroli. Good to see you, michael. My pleasure. Maria let me get your take in terms of the broad economy, how do you see things . Right. So right now theres a lot of crosscurrents. We do think Second Quarter growth is a little softer than First Quarter growth. The hard data looks okay, right . That alone wouldnt call for a rate cut, but there are some worrying clouds on the horizon. We have seen particularly business surveys that have softened some, so there is some concern that the trade tensions may be contributing to a little bit of caution on the part of businesses particularly with respect to capital spending. Maria mike, do you think were going to see a china deal . I doubt it. [laughter] i mean, look, i think were all guessing here, of course. None of us can read the minds of either leaders of the country, but right now the headlines dont sound particularly encouraging. Some of the issues seem rather intracta

A Foreign Government offered him information on a political opponent. I think i would listen. Theres nothing wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent, i think i would want to hear it. You want that kind of interference in our l elections. Not interference. They have information. I think id take it. Paul the president told fox he would report it to Law Enforcement if he thought the information was, quote, incorrect, or badly stated. Lets bring in wall street journal columnist, Dan Henninger and ki kim strassel and bill mcgern. What do you make of the president s statements . It was something he should not have said. We dont like Foreign Governments meddling in our elections. What the russians did with the bots and websites and all of that was not a good thing. So that was a mistake.

Instead of iowa and america . We take that up here tonight. President trump today swatting away at the annoying detractors. President trumps dominance overwhelming the radical dems and their fatal subversion. The president asserted executive privilege today to lock the radical dems access to sensitive documents the president asked what sense is a census make without a Citizenship Question . Is a you have a census and youre not allowed to talk about whether or not somebody is a citizen or not, it doesnt sound so good to me. I think its totally ridiculous that we would have a census without asking but the Supreme Court is going to be ruling on it soon. When a census goes out you should find out whether or not and you have the right to ask whether or not someone is a citizen of the United States.
