i just can t believe it. i told phil i want to go home, i ve seen enough. i can t imagine what people are going through right now that are inland. we re talking a major hurricane well inland. and there are folks inside of florida right now probably wondering what in the heck s going on. right. who would have thought they were safely out of harm s way. well, please stay safe, mike. thank you for talking to me, but please stay safe. if you want to get out, get out. thank you for having me. i want to go to tom sater in the cnn weather center. you heard mike talking about this. he s just never seen anything like it. just sort of in shock, i think, fair to say. how dangerous is this storm right now? well, it s a category 3. that s the latest at the top of the hour and the advisory. as he mentioned, this is going to be a hurricane well inland. in fact, it could have hurricane-force winds as it exits out on the east coast. so when you look at the eye, and it looks like it s collapsing
of what they could have given them immunity for. i don t think it s necessarily a case that they turned on donald trump. it s really assuming way too much. at the same time. michael, cfo of the trump organization, you re not too worried about what he might do? they always say, follow the money? absolutely, at the same time i think the 26th floor of trump tower was filled with a large group of very professional people working with very professional firms like accounting firms and legal firms, to think that donald trump s organization could work outside of the law for any given period of time is to assume a lot, i believe. you know, these guys were professional. allen is very professional. i doubt they were doing anything routinely outside of the law, i saw his name was brought up in that tape that michael cohen provided. i m quite certain that s why he was brought into this. it would make sense that the guy that disburses the check s at donald trump s personal company
will show up. according to to the top sport stats sites, 37 turned down pro bowl invitations. or because they are playing in the super bowl. already not exactly a recipe, but let s be honest, what do we care about any of these all-star situations? we only care about the feats and skills and strength. the home run derby. the slam dunk contest. there s a good chance you missed this skills competition, it was pretaped and aired thursday night. big mistake. does the nhl, they have a pretty cool skills competition themselves, but you need a chart and an advanced degree in statistics to figure out what the heck s going on. and that confusing format continued to the series of i guess games that on sunday that players were guided into divisions and it s a three on three tournament. somehow, the metropolitan division came out on top. yay, i guess. folks, we don t expect much from all-star games. keep it simple and show off the talent. i want thumb contests, three point sheeting, fastest
people feel less confident about the economy when there s no deal in washington. is that what you guys see? yeah. i would say it s more dollars and cents than that, though. chuck, you know, the payroll tax holiday went away in january. everyone got their first paycheck in 2013 and said, it s a lot smaller, what s the heck s going on. and that s reflected in the confidence numbers. no one really likes the back-and-forth and vitriol in washington, it makes people nervous, particularly business people. but for consumers what really matters is the paycheck and the paycheck is smaller and they re not really comfortable with that. what will it take for the unemployment to get below 6% or in that range, we got to start seeing jobs added, we got to start seeing it in the 300s, in the 400s, in the 500s, when will we see it in this economy? it still feels like treading water. i don t think it s in the next three, six numbers, because we have to digest the tax increases and we have more gov
thinks there s a guy who controls his own parliament. doesn t have dissent. controls his media. basically has far more power than the size of his country and economy might indicate. he wants to be like that. added to it i think putin gets away with a lot more and i think trump would tliek glike to get with a lot more. i think he says they re a check on me. i don t want any check s on me. how you go from saying i got on with kim jong-un. he s a strong leader. he said i think his people love him. about literally the world s most repressive dictator. that says somebody who really doesn t care that much. it is important to us and he knows it s more important than maybe to him. i think it s also important to
