But you make of the president s push in terms ofs cant demand th Apprenticeship Program . I like it. Hes catching some flak from democrat. Dagen imagine that. That is how success is defined.

Part of it is getting people back into the job market and also for those High School Kids who have basic math skills that they are not great students. This is a path to think about. Maria i want to ask all you guys about the russian news story weve been talking about so long. Whether its jobs, health care plan, the rush approaches takes the oxygen out of the room. I wonder what you think now that we know for sure for certainty there was no collusion was the weather as they been saying for about a year this has been a charade of an investigation. Now that we know that, do you think democrats will have any responsibility . Who will have the accountability for creating all this noise and getting in the way of an agenda people voted for in november . Dagen i said earlier this week. Now the narrative changes. Other democrats their their addictions from russia collision because we clearly know there is no oxygen left in that investigation. I think that was the end of that yesterday was sessions testifying. But now it is about trump versus comey. Now its obstruction of justice and that actually makes it easier for them because it creates more drama, more headlines. Maria is going to be about something until they actually try to impeach him. The bottom line is they want to take control of the house and move to impeach. If he went into there and they would have a list of what the next major distraction. These are distractions to keep focus on doing with the president s agenda was all about. Maria will the democrats be accountable for that . Were they sit in the way of getting Business Done . I cant believe they have a campaign cant join the resistance. Its like star wars. We shouldnt be looking to fractional eyes the country. Weve got to bring it together. Why do you want to sign up for resistance . It sounds crazy. Dagen one thing that struck me yesterday as a reminder during subsites testimony last week as one of the biggest articles that got the most attention this year about the russia collision story they trump operatives met with russian intelligence officials in the New York Times in february. It was wrong. It was dead wrong. I think you need to see bigger crutches. Cnn did issue a correction on a different story about what they reported on the comey testimony. I think you need to see some of these journalists falling on their swords and admitting we got it wrong. Maria Jeff Sessions for staff yesterday. Here is what he said to address the accusations about the socalled collusion story. Crozer college of this body for 20 years, at least some of you. And the suggestion that i participated in any collusion, that i was aware of any collusion with the russian government to hurt this country which ive served with honor for 35 years or to undermine the integrity of the democratic process is an appalling that detestable lie. Maria there you go. Im glad i stuck to my guns on this because i was not buying it the whole time. I thought the whole story develop. Dagen you have hammered that over and over again and you are so pricey. Again, its just good common sense and street smarts trusting your gut. You have from day one as soon as they started floating the narrative. They immediately try to shift the blame away from Debbie Wasserman schultz and make it about russia and the narrative crew had grew and grew. Maria because russia does not and because russia is safe for and we need that anyway, we need a spy on us if we go there and theyre trying to infiltrate the country because they are a perpetrator. They just attach maria it. These congressional hearings are participated in four of them in the theater. If youre in the room the senators come in and out. Is there five minutes of cspan and they went to sleep old confrontational. Its really disappointing to see that the one. Alan greenspan told me years ago, when did you think about the testimony . Testimonies are not about me. They are about the senators and congressmen hearing themselves. Greenspan said that years ago today. Big stories other than that. Does this go away .

I would have hoped it might not end called to his face in front of everybody, which ive named this even better than having to resign from the board for making such a remark. I think if you are one of these investors have you seen the value of uber corp. 68 billion, you are probably getting nervous now. You want people in the workplace to treat each other with respect, but the lawyers from covington and berlin are now in charge. They are whacking a lot of people in top management. I dont think theres any guarantee that the more well behaved people that come and go be able to do this job well. This is a company that loses 3 billion a year and has a very tough challenge ahead as Autonomous Vehicles come along. Dagen really quickly, private conversations ive had with people i know who work in the valley, this is any problem from the very beginning of the founding of uber. This is part of the understood culture by people who didnt even work there. It goes back to the responsibility of the investors. Why didnt you put the kibosh on this internal and external behavior years ago. Maria did you see they lose 63 billion a year . Yeah, as they go into the south driving vehicle competition, they face of this wellfunded mark competitors. Lets hope the better behaved people that the lawyers are again are good tech executives.
