Careful, trust the fed would be my take away. >> fair enough. lets. play some sound from delaware democrat senator chris on the fed and i will get you guys to react to that. >> the independence of the fed is a a key linchpin of american economic security and i just plead with the president to reconsider what is a very dangerous course in economic policy. >> and for balance lets play some pat toomey, republican of pennsylvania. >> i dont think that chairman powell is in any danger of being fired ...

Whatever he wants. yes. that is correct. to some extent. but when you follow your instincts, it should be based on some foundation, some ground work of knowledge and experience. theres a reason why the people are doctors. theres a reason we have lawyers. theres a reason we have brokers. sometimes they can follow their instinct. a broker may say i think its going to go this way. thats fine. when you have a man who is wild, who is basically unhinged, and who doesnt really have that self-awareness ...

Lot from the troops. questions about what will happen next, when will they go home, what will happen in the combat zones they leave behind. a lot of uncertainty and unease. jim? >> and thats no fun for troops deployed abroad in war zones. barbara starr, thanks very much. to the panel now, again, you heard that reporting. and just another detail from the senior administration official, describing the decision-making that john bolton dispatched senior officials around the region to speak to part...

Trust the fed would be my take away. >> fair enough. lets play sound from the delaware democrat senator on the fed. >> the independence of the fed is a key lynch pin of american economic security. i plead with the president to reconsider a dangerous course in economic policy. >> for balance, the republican from pennsylvania. >> i dont think that chairman powell is in any danger of being pyred by the president. chairman powell wont let politics interfere with his decision making process. >> is th...

Disagreed with the federal reserve policies and the federal reserve chairman, that he is aware that he does not have the power to fire the federal reserve chair. first of all, does it at all bother thought president himself couldnt tweet out that statement, that for some reason the secretary treasurer had to do it? its almost like they feared he wouldnt say it? >> look, i dont spend a lot of time focusing on the presidents tweets and things that the president says. what i focus more on is what i...

Syria faulted the american government for going into a war that was not authorized by congress. now youre seeing a lot of members of congress saying pulling out is a disaster, is going to leave our allies, the kurds there to be slaughtered. that they were not involved in our mission is an appropriate objective. it is a terrible thing this mission took place without congressional authorization. in part because congressional authorization would involve congress in the decision-making process that ...

Well, thats the opposite of the decision-making process by which the syria decision was made. i think that contrasts between the positive coverage of how james mattis wrote about his departure and the presidents decision-making process has just highlighted that tension and made it hard for the president to want to hear that for two more months until secretary mattis wanted to leave. >> i do think the president was basically pretty tired of hearing people say that james mattis was the only adult ...

Problem. he wants to disrespect the allies. he wants to cozy up to the adversaries. he wants to blow up the whole model. and facing this, both the substantive -- this deep substantive disagreement, and the chaos and disrespect that the decision-making process reflects both on him, on allies, i think james mattis just said enough. >> is it perplexing to you that the president spun it as a retirement letter? because if you read it, i would think so, it appears to be a clear repudiation of this pre...
