why do that midstream? and analysis on wage growth. >> thanks for the question. of news stories that i thought were very well done and thoughtful. i think the question for americans, what they want to know is how are president trump's policies affecting our lives. the statistics are not a very statistics france or the question. we talk about how to better measure that. it was not a criticism of the bureau of labor statistics. we used their data to come up with a better measure. a better measure will account for the fact that people get benefits. people had just had tax cuts. they will account for the fact that the labor force is changing because so many people are coming in. and the people who are out for a while tend to be lower skilled. just as consistent with our 4% gdp growth, you're seeing a massive amount of wage growth. should i keep going? i will go back there. that's really terrible. >> how important is it for you to have a new north american free trade agreement including canada? the first thing before i turned to the trade part, some people have also s

why do that midstream? why not just base your analysis on wage growth? mr. hassett: thanks for the question. there were a lot of news stories that i thought were very well done and thoughtful about the piece. i think the question for americans, what they want to know is how are president trump's policies affecting our lives. it turns out the statistic that got the most attention in the media is not a very reasonable us to question. we talk about how to better measure that. it was not a criticism of the bureau of labor statistics. we use their data to come up with a better measure. a better measure will account for the fact that people get benefits. a better measure well account for the fact that people had just had tax cuts. they will account for the fact that the labor force is changing because so many people are coming in and the people who are out for a while tend to be lower skilled so they can bring averages down. just as consistent with our 4.2% gdp growth, we're seeing a massive amount of wage growth as compared to projections when president trump too

we have spit switched topics midstream on joe joe digenova. does this make sense to you? fbi has jurisdiction over and could they conceivably come up with this? >> if this is another delaying tactic and she really doesn't want to testify because when she does she's going to look like the loon that she is. she may worry very well believe everything she's saying and that's one of the signs of lunacy come up believing something that isn't real. but her lawyer is even loony year. the fbi is not going to investigate on nonfederal matter of an alleged assault which is unconfirmed by even the witness herself. she's not sure where it happened, when it happened, who else was present. she never reported it to anybody. this was nothing. >> i had no idea of her mental state at all. does having listened to her accounts, she seemed sincere. but i wonder if the fbi could, knowing what has been publicly revealed, how could they possibly -- as a practical matter, how could they possibly follow up on that? >> they cannot because they don't know when it happened, where it happened or who el

with two sites that change midstream in this project.are moving to victorian to the other site and we are having to move the mortuary. there is a lot of work going on here. all the way through the beginning of this year, we are contemplating exactly how to make -- how to best achieve our goals at the fulton street site. 807 franklin is figured out. we were exploring double density for senior housing. we were exploring a lot of different potentials and been in touch with a supervisor's offence about how do we make that work as best as we possibly can. the issue we are facing is that it is the bumps along the way with the planning department, code issues. we have a deadline of december seventh of this year to get a site permit issued in order to maintain the ability to have it grandfathered on site and off site units. and the issue here is that going with the in lieu fee is not because we are committing to the fee in perpetuity, it is basically to preserve the grandfathering aspect of this project. because after -- assuming planning commis

>> i don't think you could midstream as a writer take over the characters and decide, especially whenm "sesame street" pointed out, they don't exist from the waist down. >> that does seem like it would be an important thing. although personally i'm having a really hard time carrying whether or not they are because when it comes to real people, i don't care whether or not they are. live your best life and be you. so if i don't care if real people are, i am finding it a really hard time caring about people who are not people and whether or not they are. i spent approximately 0% of my life thinking about puppet. i do think about golf a lot but not in a way. >> martha: i grew up on "sesame street," too. and i take of the characters as puppets. they are puppets after all, one of them lives in a garbage can. so -- >> and its new york, the rent is very high in new york so they needed to split the money so that's why they are roommates. >> i always thought they were the odd couple, like the puppet version of the odd couple. >> i have yet to meet an adult man without a roommate in the city. >>

it seems like there is a lot of talk about that on the midstream media outlets? . >> we would say it's about as outrageous as bob woodward's book ch book. the fact it would be discussed is outrageous. it goes against the nearly 60 million people who voted for this president and are watching and cheering him on as he successfully implements that agenda every single day. >> do you know what documents the president is considering for declassification sometime in the next two weeks? and when exactly can we expect that? >> when we have specifics on that, we'll let you know. >> can you give us a sense of what the documents are? >> i can't get into that right now, but when i have an announcement, i'll let you know. >> the state department announced he's willing to close the palestinian ambassador to the u.s. the state department says it's not retreating from our efforts to achieve an everlasting peace. is the united states still an appropriate candidate? >> we're going to continue pushing forward. other than that, i don't have anything specific on that today. >> the pal

why midstream and not base your analysis on the way it's been calculated in the past?> thanks for the question. we have a whole report that came out last week. there's a lot of news stories i thought were well done and thoughtful about the piece. i think the question for american, what they really want to know is how are president trump's policies affecting their lives. it's not a reasonable statistic f for answering that question. it was not a criticism of the bureau of labor statistics. we love those people. we use their data to come up with a better measure but a better measure will affect for the fact that people get benefits. a better measure would account for people just had tax cuts. the competition of the labor force is changing because so many people are coming in. the people who have been out for a while tend to be lower skilled so they can bring averages down. in our study we control for all that and showed as consistent with our 4.2% gdp growth we're seeing a massive amount of wage growth compared to proj proprotections when trump took office.proprtections

why do that midstream and not just base your analysis based on wage growth in a way that it's been calculatedah, thanks for the question. we have a whole report that came out last week and there were a lot of news stories that were very well done and thoughtful about the piece. and i think the question for americans, what they really want to know is how are president trump's policies affecting their lives? and it finds out that the statistic that got the most attention in the media is not a very reasonable statistic for answering that question. and we talked about how to better measure that. and it was not a criticism of the bureau of labor statistics that we love those people, we're data geeks. we use their data to come up with a better measure. but a better measure will account for the fact that people get benefits, a better measure would account for the fact that people just had tax cuts. a better measure will account for the fact that the composition of the labor force is changing, because so many people are coming in and the people who have been out for a while tend to be lower skilled.
