World. Im Fareed Zakaria coming to you from aspen, colorado. Today, an extra special program with three, yes, three former secretaries of the treasury. First ill auck to Henne Paulson and Timothy Geithner about the downgradingst u. S. Credit ratings and the struggles the chinese economy. And then robert rubin talks about how to make hard decisions. And what a yellow legal pad has to do with that skill. Finally, david byrne came to fame with his new wave band Talking Heads. Some 40 years ago. I talk to him about his latest wave of creativity which includes a musical about former philippina first lady Imelda Marcos. Performed in a broadway theater. That has been transformed into a disco.

Hutchinson, one of the few republican candidates who has been critical of trumps legal problems despite the fact the former president seems to be gaining, not losing political strength with each and every indictment. Were keeping also a close eye on the Security Situation surrounding the courthouse as a mix of federal and city Law Enforcement blanket the area ahead of trumps rapidly approaching arrival. Were also learning new details about the latest indictment that appears to rely on testimony from high level Trump Administration officials including former Attorney General bill barr and of course former Vice President mike pence.

the president son was all smile last night he got to attend the white house state dinner. his appearance coming just days after he agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor trespass charges. slimming down as a sweethear deal the irs whistleblowers apparently greasing investigators recommended nearl a dozen tarts at some of those felonies it but doj officials poured cold water on all of that . one of those whistleblowers telling congress i am alleging with evidence the doj provided preferential treatment, did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest and this investigation. cell, the republicans have brought a blatant example of th two-tiered justice system. obviously there s been nothing from mark garland because running the most politicized department of justice in modern times. we have demand anders from the director of the fbi and the secretary of the treasury who oversees the irs. they don t tax treat all taxpayers the same. unfortunately, americans aren t ju
