A morning news show that includes interviews, features and banter among hosts. Pete and barack obama as well. That kind of anemic growth is the new normal. And a lot of economists said that as well. Griff, you brought this up. You should get credit for this. I will read it one of our reports in October Of 2016 cnn surveyed 11 economists on whether the economy would ever reach 4 g. D. P. All said no. Quote one economist his name is Robert Brewska he said pigs do not fly. Trump donald trump is dreaming that it would get to 4 . Breaking news this morning, pigs do fly. They actually do. [laughter] because we hit 4. 1 . If its on the folder its got to be true. Think about it, economists and everyone in the establishment said no, no, no. 4 cant happen. We are managing americas decline. We are a second rate power. Our economy is stuck in the mud. Trump said no we can unleash it again. America can be great. Economic engine of free market works. Abby we are still dealing with this. Griff the Players Association says we are not on board. We are not going to go with this new Anthem Policy that Roger Goodell thought he had apparently solved it. It appears he hasnt. My red skins just started this week training camp. Everyone is taking a look. People trying to get excited. But, i dont know. It could be a really rough time. Abby Zac Prescott The Cowboys quarter back had strong words on what the game means to him and what the game of football means to so many americans, and what this has done to sort of take away that joy that we all feel when we watch football. Heres what he said about this. I never protest. I never protest during the anthem and i dont think thats the time or the venue to do. So the game of football has always brought me such a peace and i think it does the same for a lot of people. A lot of people playing the game. A lot of people watching the game. A lot of people that have impact of the game. When you bring such a
controversy to the state and to the field and the game it takes away from the joy and love that football brings a lot of people. Im for taking a next step, whatever that step may be for action and not just kneeling. Pete amen, well said. He can figure out what the nfl cannot. They are in the meetings with the Players Association. Of course the Players Association could fix it if they want to. They dont. Right now it stands a ambiguous the cowboys came out and said if you are on my team you are standing for the anthem. To say me sounds like the easiest policy. On my Team Standing for the anthem, otherwise, you are going to sit out and not be on this team. Nfl just hurting itself right now. Diamondbacdak prescott god bles.

President trump highlighting the success yesterday. If Economic Growth continues at this pace, the United States economy will double in size more than 10 years faster than it would have under either president bush or President Obama. Griff here to disut is peter morici one of the smartest guys i know privileged to talk to you every morning in d. C. What do these numbers mean and why has this happened . Its quite simple. The government has gotten out of the way and let the American People solve their own problems. Cut the taxes. Cut the regulation and so forth. What it means is the
democrats have got a data problem. I mean, led by paul krugman at the New York Times, donald trump was supposed to be a flop. Well now he is a success. There is nothing like being a coach on Monday Morning and having beaten the spread. Griff thats right, peter. I was at the white house yesterday they are elated over there not elated because they hit the numbers but they believe these numbers are sustainable. What do you say . Will we see another quarter like. This we will see quarters like this. Even barack obama had quarters like this. What matters is the average over many quarters. I think this president can sustain 3 growth. Thats not a come down. Barack obama had 1. 8. So 3 growth would be a profound difference in americans lives. Sooner or later wages would simply have to go up from that somebody halls to get the money. Stocks, ir iras, key owes, governments would have more
revenue. All this stress you see in state and local governments would abate. 3 growth is marvelous. Griff peter, you mentioned President Obama. Would these numbers have happened would this have happened under a president clinton . Absolutely not. You know the agenda. Listen to cortez in new york right now. More taxes, more regulations, more give aways, more of a war on work. More of a tax on work. Americans can only bear so much. We have let up on the burdens its like taking the weights off a sprinter and they have run away. Griff i dont want to go in the weeds. Its early on a saturday morning. Sure. Griff the president in his remarks at the very end said a big driver in this in what will make it sustainable is the Trade Deficit has been cut to the tune of 52 billion. Why does that matter . Well, it was an exportled surge. We need to start exporting more in america. There is nothing wrong with
buying chinese toasters if we can sell them the things that we do well. And President Trump is trying to open up markets and, of course, a big part of that message was watch the trade agreements. I get for you. Thats what he is banking on. Im hoping we will see more investment in america than we have seen lately. That wasnt in the numbers as strong as i would like. Thats where i think the big growth surge is going to come from. Lower Corporate Taxes. Lower cost of capital to people invest more in america. Griff one last question with you, peter, that is many of the naysayers say this 4. 1 number came about because companies were front loading, trying to get ahead of the tariff impact. What do you say . You cant see it in the data. Whats more, we dont know what the tariffs are going to be on the other side. My feeling is that was just basically democrats hiding in the boughs of banks who are antitrump who came up with polemics to poo poo a marvelous achievement. One of the things i really disliked yesterday was donald trump deserves some congratulations for his accomplishments and there was Chuck Schumer negative again. You know, this is a day to celebrate. Lets hope we have some more. Griff thats right. Peter morici the man to go to when you need to sort things out. Have great saturday. You are right, its time to celebrate these numbers are real. And as you say, perhaps the good times are here to stay. Thank you, peter. Take care. Griff all right. A wil brawl breaking out on hollywood walk of fame.

President trump making a heart felt tribute in honor of our fallen heroes. Gillian turner is in washington, d. C. With more. Gillian . Good morning, pete. President trump paying tribute to fallen american soldiers and dictator kim jong un yesterday in a ceremony to rerepatriate the remains of americans to perished during the korean war 1950 and 1953. I want to thank chairman kim for keeping his word, for fulfilling a promise he
made to me. Im sure he will continue to fulfill that promise as they serve and searcsearch and searcd search. 55 cases each draped with the flag of the United Nations and they arrived aboard a plane at u. S. Military air base outside of seoul, north korea. This transfer had been negotiated last month during President Trumps summit with Kim In Singapore where they reportedly discussed this matter directly face to face. The return of remains is viewed as a way for the north to demonstrate its intent to follow through on other commitments that kim made to President Trump, including most importantly, the commitment to denuclearize. Now about 7700 u. S. Soldiers are listed as missing from the korean war and 5300 of their remains are believed to still be at large in north korea. The war killed millions but most notably 36,000 americans, pete. Pete welcome home, men. Gillian, thank you very much. Appreciate it abby, down to
you. Abby thank you, pete. Remember when democratic congressman Maxine Waters said this . If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. Abby well this week senator corey booker seemingly took a page out of her playbook. Thats my Call To Action here. Please, dont just come here today and then go home. Go to the hill today. [cheers] get up and, please, get up in the face of some congress people. Abby the senator has since walked back this aggressive rhetoric is this really the right message to already send to a heated base. Here to debate Mitchell Ricky and jana caldwell. Good morning to both of you. Thank you for being with us. Jenna, what does this tell you about our political rhetoric right now and maybe more importantly in this conversation the direction of the Democratic Party . Corey booker is someone who has talked about running for president in 2020. Yeah. There is a lot of democrats that are going to run for president. Maybe even the new face of the Democratic Party marks seen waters, honestly, when i think about the rhetoric in which Maxine Waters has used. To seems when ideas, mob violence seems to be the answer. This has become a very dangerous scenario at play. When you see Trump Supporters or republicans in general get attacked, you think about an example that happened in 2016 where a chicago man was beaten and people were yelling out he voted trump. You know that this Isnt An Environment that maybe should make the careless and dangerous comments that senator booker means. Abby you have two Political Parties that seem to not be further apart. Why are we seeing so much hate . Look, first of all i think we need to be clear that senator booker never called for anyone to be physically assaulted, harassed or fossilled. And the fact that 17 seconds of his 35. Abby what did he mean by
that when he said get up in the faces of people. When you say 17 seconds of someones 35minute speech and misrepresent it to me thats the epitome of fake news. Do you think that message is helpful for your party and for the country . He clearly is telling people to get in the face of people in congress. Abby, he did not say get in the face of conservatives. He did not say get in the face of republicans. He was actually asking people to get in the face of members of congress to address homelessness in this country. Abby let me ask you this rorochelle is that the way to make changing . I dont think he us
