Of 2017, and so i tide that for 13 months before general sessions resigned. Abruptly on the day after the election of 2018 and the president appointed me that day to be acting attorney general and ultimately bridge the gap between Jeff Sessions and bill barr. Host how did you become Jeff Sessions chief of staff. Were you a friend. Guest yes. Talk about hough i only met Jeff Sessions once before i was selected to be his chief of staff. He was i interviewed with him and talked to him many times but it was mutual friend in the white house and at the federal society that had recommended me to him and his people, and we bonded quickly over College Football and our love for good barbecue. So it was a match made in heaven. Host one thing you say aboutmer sessions are p recusal the russia investigation it was personal and factdriven. Guest yeah. I wasnt there when he did the analysis. He took over in february of 2017 after he was confirmed, and after the new administration came in, but having
Especially with regard to president ial powers and the author of an equally excellent previous book, imperial from the beginning the constitution of the original executive. Jack goldsmith is the henry l. Shaddock professor of law at harvard and someone who, as youre probably aware, has seen the executive branch from the inside during a high profile, extremely tense tenure in the bush Administrations Office of Legal Counsel during a key early period in the war on terror. Jack is one of our most thoughtful commentators on the modern presidency in venues like the atlantic and books like the terror Prime Minister city and presidency and power and constraint. His latest book is in hoffas shadow, one of the last inperson events we had at cato back in early march before the lockdown so, jack, thanks for coming back so soon if only virtually. Sai, im also a great add meurer of your admirer of your previous book, imperial from the beginning, but if youll forgive me for saying so, i think its on
They are joyful they never thought they would see this day, and so they looking for a brighter future. Reporter long frustrated by the disaster on the street, tenderloin housing director randy shaw is bullish on the settlement. It requires 70 percent of the 10th in the city to be removed by july 20. The 30 percent remaining must eventually be removed as well. It shouldnt take a lawsuit for the city to do its job. And if this means we get more urgency and people get off the streets, then we address the unconscionable situation in the tenderloin right now. I think it can be a good thing. Rertdirict supervisor matt haney has mixed feelings. He is worried that only 30 percent of those on the streets are eligible for hotel rooms now held by the city. Right now they are still relying on the same criteria for who gets to come inside. You have to be over 60 years old, or have an underlying medical condition. That leaves out thousands of people. Our primary frustration is that the plan was deve
Vallejo to protest his killing. There has been a lot, i mean a lot of Police Killings out here. Just since 1997 we had 37 people murdered here. It is not getting enough publicity, its not getting enough attention, and we, as the people, have decided that we need to do something about it. Civil rights attorney, john burr, says much rosa was on his knees and in the process of surrendering when shot. He called the shooting outrageous and said the officers life was not in danger. The officer said no, he fired his weapon, because he thought much rosa was reaching for a gun. Demonstrators also gathered in oakland, to march to uc berkeley, demanding change to systematic racism. No justice no peace local 1021 organized this event. They say their names or say their names marched, in coalition of Community Leaders demanding Police Funding be redirected to community services. They also want to civilize the police force, and to hold all officers accountable during their work. Victims were honored
Peter navarro meant to say on fox last night. There was a little confusion. I think that he was pretty definitive to say it was dead, the president was pretty definitive in saying the trade deal is on who would ever think that this would happen, good news out of europe, pmis are strong, they are inflating things in their economy like we are. I also think there might have been a short squeeze those of us who watched when navarro said what he said the market plummeted and i think overnight traders said its going to open down badly im going to get short and they got whipsawed because you didnt think navarro could be reversed as quickly as he was given the fact he is a close confidant of the president. Almost exactly what art cashin is saying this morning. Whipsaw resulted in a good deal of short covering. He says the bulls may now reassert control he says they need to take the dow up by more than 450. The bulls are when you watch the market ahead of time you see so many stocks going up fo
