chuck schumer is on the right end of that is the way i would describe it. the schumer mcconnell relationship is very interesting to me and has a lot to do with the way chuck schumer conducts himself now. chuck schumer had run the democratic senatorial campaign in 2008 when mcconnell was up for election. that was during the economic crisis and they ransom and -- ran some ads against mcconnell on his vote for tarp. that really irritated mcconnell because the democrats wanted him to vote for tarp and then they used it against him. it really created a rift with schumer and mcconnell. schumer likes to now say he and mcconnell can get along. schumer is somebody wants to be liked by his colleagues, which is different than harry reid who really didn't care if mcconnell liked him. >> the other thing schumer did to run afoul of mcconnell was he was one of only six democrats to vote against mcconnell's wife, elaine chao, when she was being considered for trump's cabinet. i think that was seen as a personal slight. i remember in 2008 he gave a speech downtown and he was

it has been getting over that, but chuck schumer likes to now say he and mcconnell can get along. he laughs at his jokes. schumer is somebody who wants to be liked by his colleagues, which is different than harry reid who really didn't care if his colleagues liked him or not, didn't care if mcconnell liked him. >> the other thing schumer did to run afoul of mcconnell was he was one of only six democrats to vote against mcconnell's wife, elaine chao, when she was being considered for trump's cabinet. so that was i think seen as a personal slight towards mcconnell. i remember after mcconnell won the election in 2008 he gave a speech downtown, and he was asked about that, that the democrats used his tarp vote against him, and he saw it as a betrayal. because he worked with them in good faith to save the country from disaster, and they turned around and used it against him politically. >> he was very irritated and i know he was very irritated about the elaine chao vote which a lot of people in both parties thought there was a lot at -- thought it was a mistake. there was no point to it

we changed it to chuck schumer in the paper and he has been happy with us ever since. his first name is charles and no one calls him charles. it's always chuck. that clip was very interesting. and i wasn'tw -- on the hill in the 1980's, but my personal reaction was the intensity he exudes in that response. intense.rp, very he has since become more avuncular in his demeanor and i think a little less razor-sharp, a little less cutting in his demeanor, and i think that -- this is something we will get into later in the program, but he had a reputation for being cutthroat and ambitious in the house and he has reined that in. he is more of a team player now. he evolved with the politics. host: he's the leader now. it's easy to be a team player at that point. in started with the hill 2000. when did you start noticing senator schumer? i grew up in connecticut. chuck schumer and donald trump dominated the market in the 1980's when i was a kid growing up. i remember his first race for senate. demato race.divid schumer was initially thought of as the underdog. we didn't quite und

chuck schumer is still on the right end of that. mcconnell, the schumer mcconnell relationship is very interesting to me and has a lot to do with the way chuck schumer conducts himself. chuck schumer had a rant democratic senatorial campaign in 2008 when mcconnell was up for election, this was during and theymic crisis, ran some ads against senator mcconnell. that really irritated mitch mcconnell, because the democrats wanted him to vote and before, but they knew they could use it against him. the really created a rift with schumer. there has been some getting over chuck schumer now likes to say that he and mcconnell can get along and he laughs at his jokes, schumer is somebody who wants to be like from his colleagues. >> the other thing schumer did to run afoul of mcconnell was he was only one of six to vote against elaine chao which is be considered. -- when she was being considered. that has been seen as a personal slight against mcconnell, and after mcconnell won reelection 2008, he gave a speech downtown and was asked about that

that meeting was demanded by chuck schumer. much has been written, perhaps most authoritatively in bob woodward's book, about just how eneducable president trump is. sources inside the white house have told woodward and others that it is impossible to educate the president. and much of the public knows that. and senator schumer's letter seems to deliberately play off of that public knowledge, that the president cannot be educated. the president proved that once again today with his report on the meeting in which dan coats and the director of the cia gina haspel tried to educate him. "just concluded a great meeting with my intel team in the oval office, who told me that what they said on tuesday at the senate hearing was mischaracterized by the media and we are very much in agreement on iran, isis, north korea, et cetera. their testimony was distorted." it is theoretically possible to mischaracterize and distort what happened in a senate hearing. and that is why the senate keeps transcripts of all of their hearings and almost ev

this morning he tweeted at chuck schumer, i see schumer. i don't know what the use of the last name means. he's criticizing my state of the union speech, he's upset he didn't win the senate after spending a fortune like he thought he would. >> i think we should pay very close attention to what white house aides say. they're talking about ending the politics of resistance and retribution. that is almost exclusively about democrats, what the white house wants democrats to do. there's little we have heard about what the president is going to do. that's why what he says tonight is only one part of the equation. the other part is the follow through. the challenge for president trump is he can lay out what he wants to accomplish, but there is a lack of trust, not just among democrats but also republicans don't know if they can count on what he says being actually true, the next day or the day after that and i think that the politics of the wall is really important. there is nothing that can be done in washington until this issue is resolved and i

go ahead, chuck schumer. spend all your money in kentucky so we can win other senate seats. >> harris: i don't want to lean too far on this point because we will get mired in this. most people have made up their minds and how they feel about the subject of abortion. i want to bring up that what she has said in the passes with being talked about right now. the irony of that -- did you see it coming? what is the clap back, if you will, from the rnc? >> i think most americans -- pro life, pro-choice, wherever you stand -- think it's immoral for come on the due date, when the baby is viable, when they can have life and live outside the womb, to take that life. when you saw a ralph northam's comments -- >> harris: the virginia governor. >> of infanticide. saying, "the baby can be born and we can decide whether it will live." that something as a country that we should object to. it should not be partisan. to have this discussion be something where democrats are equivocating and outstanding strong on this issue, i t

are things that chuck schumer will look at while thinking that is a good contrast. mcconnell is taking nothing to raising tons of money nd has a campaign team getting into form. mr. kapur: kentucky is one of states for the democrats which is one reason he longevity.at he always has some ace in the hole. host: january 3, 2015, mitch achieves his goal to u.s. ority hraoeleader of the senate. here he is talking about how he university that role. video clip] >> senators are here all time. the schedule to decide what we are going to deba debate. guarantee the outcome because the senate is a really unusual body and requires votes to do most things and only rarely does one party have 60. to talk to each other. you can't do much in the senate partisan basis. so this is a beehive of activity during the week. a very challenging job. you certainly can't make everybody happy. found some process you yourself the leader of your party in the senate. of class bunch president types who all have elbows, and and big on any given day they think they you.do your job better than it is al

the chuck schumer had to stand.l: bernie sanders did not. >> because he is a socialist and ocasio-cortez is. neil: right. >> i think getting into the second part, what i'm talking about, that is what has wall street and financial community is really worried. people on wall street, lloyd blankfein, departed goldman sachs, long-time ceo they were huge supporters of democrats. lloyd grew up in the housing projections. big supporters of hillary clinton, even they are getting freaked out where the party is going. if you want -- neil: the party's criticism what companies did with their money, pouring into stock buybacks and dividend. >> i'm not saying that is a great thing. i think that is the least productive way. it is not unproductive. it is the least productive. neil: it is their money. >> it is their money. chuck schumer joined bernie sanders, an alleged moderate of the party, who by the way chuck schumer has gotten more money from wall street than just about any other politician ever, huge amounts of money, joins wi

kapur: it is interesting to watch chuck schumer in that clip talk about the middle and they need to find common ground and compromise. i think in many cases that is how schumer has generally viewed the senate. now all of a sudden he is minority leader, the democratic leader in the me too era and era of resistance and facing an enormous amount of pressure from his own left flank. there are people who protested outside his home in brooklyn for him not being tough enough on president trump. so he is facing some of the similar kinds of pressure that mcconnell faced from his ideological wing of the obama years. mr. kane: they both became minority leader at a time they expected to be majority leader so mcconnell is the republican whip in 2006 heading into those midterms. they had a large cushion. they didn't think they'd lose six seats and mcconnell planned to be majority leader and boom. they lost six seats and all of a sudden he is minority leader and had to find his footing. chuck schumer in 2016 was certain hillary clinton would win and they were picking up enough seats in places like penn

the president getting criticism from chuck schumer. the president tweeting back his response saying i see schumer is already criticizing my state of the union speech even though he's not seen it yet. he's upset he didn't win the senate like he thought he would. the president will take an opportunity tonight to make a case for his border security and a border wall. the conference committee is city trying to hash out a deal. the border wall was one of the big tickets in last year's state of the union and even offering up a path to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. now he's offering up three years of protection for 700,000 individuals. while schumer and nancy pelosi are adamantly opposed to any kind of a border barrier, some democrats are warming to the idea of some sort of barrier along the southern border if it is strategically placed in areas where the border patrol says it's needed. long to katie hill, congress woman from california with bill hemmer. >> i think we can come to an agreement that keeps the government open and addresse

so he brought chuck schumer down . years ago, he brought ted kennedy down. hillary clinton has spoken there. it hisses way of sort of trying to demonstrate to the world that i can have good relationships with these people even if on the senate floor it looks like we are stepping one another. is a story that he told us that right before the 2016 election, schumer called him to say, leader mcconnell, i hope you will have a great relationship and mcconnell called him the day after the election and said, chuck, i sure hope we will. [laughter] host: i bring that up to say the 2016 map was great and they fell. what is his reputation as a leader of the gop? guest: among his members it is strong. them someone who will let arab grievances and generally listen to the concerns. he has had contentious moments no doubt with various moments, but he tends not to let that get in the way. the closest he has ever gotten to someone oppose him was around 2014 when senator ted cruz famously had an acrimonious relationship at times with mitch mcconnell was making noises about not

president for at least attempting to unify the congress, but, you have already got nancy pelosi and chuck schumern. lou: christopher, i can't imagine nancy pelosi and schumer being less vial and venomous because the president speaks unity. am i am not clever enough to understand the political strategy of such a thing, when he has been, he has, you know, they have sole him out every way from sunday. i'm talking about the rinos, first of all, not the dems. he needs to unite the republican party certainly. but the democratic party are well beyond unification, don't you think? >> i think they are. technically the president's job to come here tonight to give a report to congress, how he feels the state of the union is, since it is televised nowadays he is giving more a report to the american people what he wants to lay out here. lou: good. >> he has maybe the greatest setting anywhere in this country where you can speak from position of authority, from position of power, with the american flags behind you and your party applauding. the other party not. so to preach unity right now he is more talking t

he was already blasting senator chuck schumer even though they've been saying it's a call for unity. schumer is already criticizing my state of the union speech even though hasn't seen it yet. he's just upset that he didn't win the senate, after spend ag a fortune. that tweet came just minutes after senator chuck schumer was making a floor speech today that was airing on c-span and this is what he had to say ahead of the president's state of the union address tonight. >> the president will say the state of our union is strong, but the american people know the state of the trump administration is in chaos. >> reporter: and later on, brooke, chuck schumer said the president is going to be a hypocrite if he calls for unity tonight and the white house says the president is going to find -- going to try to find common ground as you heard sarah sanders there. the white house expects the president to lay out his case for a border wall, something our reporting shows the white house increasingly preparing themselves for the president to declare a national emergency and bypass congress even tho

he has known chuck schumer for literally years.o, i get what he is trying to do, trying to inoculate. i'm not sure you can ever inoculate with them. charles: you brought up the border wall, national emergency is big in the news now. here is what is interesting, really i'm floored by this, according to the national emergencies act of 1976 they're supposed to expire every year but congress has to get together and decide whether to officially let them expire or to extend them. they're supposed to meet every six months. they haven't met in 40 years on any of them. that is why 30 are live going back to carter. all of sudden it is creating a national crisis. these same national emergencies that congress never even bothered to get together to decide whether or not they should exist 40 years later, now it is the end of the world! >> to me it is just crazy and i get the idea of separation of powers but reality is, congress delegated this authority and there is not carefully guarded its authority. you know, charles, if you really don't like

no matter what chuck schumer says, it still needs to be signed. >> sure. it's very difficult to product trump from one day to the next because he can be so inconsistent that even the things he says are subject to change. however, i do think you heard signals in that speech last night of where he's building himself some wiggle room. he didn't issue an ultimatum. he didn't talk about a national emergency. he didn't talk about the shutdown, which i think was a way of saying he wants to move on from that. the shutdown was not a good experience for the white house or republicans on capitol hill. i don't think they want to do it again despite the president's bluster. so i think you did hear signals in the speech. while of course he advocated very strongly for the wall, he does seem to be potentially building himself some wiggle room to accept something that doesn't go as far as he originally said he demanded. >> and congressman, mike pence saying this morning that he couldn't guarantee that there won't be another government shutdown and also saying that the last

however, up on capitol hill already, connell, melissa, mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer are disputing whether or not the president can go down that road. connell: sounds like we haven't seen the final act in this drama just yet. thank you, blake. melissa: negotiating a real deal with china. president trump revealing he could consider the delaying the march 1st tariff deadline with bejing. let's go to edward lawrence who has all of the details. edward. reporter: president donald trump softening a little bit what it would take to move the march 1st deadline increasing tariffs. the president said he would need a deal in writing holding 10% tariffs to 25% tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese goods. today the president said we may not need a deal in writing. listen. >> if we're close to a deal, where we think we can make a real deal, is it will get done i could see myself letting that slide for a little while, generally speaking i'm not inclined to do that. reporter: u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer and treasury secretary steve mnuchin are in china. they will meet vice premi

but senate democratic leader chuck schumer says the president will have a fight on his hands. >> there is where the president will declare a national emergency. i hope you want. that would be a very wrong thing to do. and me, policy, and i will review his findings and that in short order. >> schumer is not the only senator. susan collins says it'll undermine congress and a bad precedent for future presidents. marco rubio says we've got a crisis, but no crisis justifies violating the constitution. and dianne feinstein says it's unconstitutional and irresponsible. here's more on the back and forth. >> it's not a smart word choice, but the world will not spin on its axis. >> re-program money. there is word what the constitution says about that to build a wall appointment i can even get the republicans to support when they're in the majority. this is crazy. >> this basically avoids another partial government shutdown, creates some certainty. the fight over the national emergency at the boarding will be the next big fight here on capitol hill. martha? >> martha: that's for sure. democratic

talked today to speaker pelosi and minority leader chuck schumer. they saiprogress is being made. what are you hearing? >> my reporting is the same.t talking toher leaders and people who are on the conference mee. there is real progress on the staff level. they think they could come up with a deal if it is just left to the members of the appropriations committee alone. judy, the conference committee will have an unusual meeting morrow morning, closed door, with career border patrol officials. now, it's not clearwhy that's closed door, but one staffer told me that they think it's because they want th questions and answers to be as forthright as possible. they are looking at trying to get a conference report by the end of the week or this weekend at the l iest. they thi's doable, but there are many x factors, one of being the president and what he says tonight about border security. >> woodruff: and finally yamiche, what do we know about how the president is planning a for tonigd also mraditionally the president has guests coe to the capital. who do we know those to be? >> the presi

you saw chuck schumer and nancy pelosi so critical of that. alexandria ocasio-cortez and julian castro says they will introduce legislation in congress to block the president from doing that. i asked the president in his press conference in the rose garden earlier today about that issue. listen here. >> how can you guarantee to military families and our men and women of the military that none of the money would be programmed to a wall will take away from other technology, other renovations, construction that is desperately needed in our military? >> we have certain funds that are being used at the discretion of generals, at the discretion of the military. some of them haven't been allocated yesterday. some of the generals think this is more important. i've gotten $700 billion for the military in year one. when you have that kind of money going into the military, this is a very small amount that we're asking for. >> white house officials telling me earlier today the 3.5 billion from the military construction budget would be for projects that th

chuck schumer called the president ally before he delivered the speech. sean hannity has thoughts on that and he will be here to weigh in shortly. we've got fox news team coverage tonight. looking at the mainstream media's selective outrage over governor northrom, ignoring his comments on abortion but we begin with kristin fisher with latebreaking details out a virginia. >> reporter: such ans. not only is the governor virginia in trouble but the listening governor is in trouble too accused of sexually assaulting a woman 15 years ago. a public election committee that supports the lieutenant governor believes the governor and his supporters are behind these allegations. justin fairfax was asked if he thinks governor ralph northrom is responsible. he said he had no indication that he was but he also said this. >> i have nothing to hide. somebody manipulated the press on this. is completely obvious you don't have to be a political genius to understand this is a smear. >> he says the allegations are completely false and describes the encounter as consensual. t

chuck schumer has a problem with it. he says he believes that congress would not allow the president to do that under the authority the president has to notified congress ahead of time. i guess it's possible they could try to block him from doing that, shep. >> shepard: john, the matter of the scuffle and the bbc employee getting injured last night at the rally. what do you have on that? >> there's still a lot of question as to how this was precipitated. exactly what happened. ron scanes, a paragrapher with the bbc, he apparently was pushed rather hard by somebody wearing a make america great again hat. it prompted the bbc to say that ron was violently pushed by a member of the crowd last night. the man was removed by security and ron is fine. the president could see the incident and check with all of us or check with us that all was okay. the president did stop there for a moment to check that out. it's clearly unacceptable for any of our staff to be attacked for doing their job. bbc's north american editor wrote to the

listen to chuck schumer. >> when president trump tonight makes bold popular promises, i'm not buying it and the american people won't either. reporter: the republican senators are split on what the senator should do. senator ron johnson is saying the president should not declare a national emergency and rye to work toward that border funding. senator lindsey graham says the president should divert fund. he doesn't need to declare a national emergency. it's just like sending troops to the border. >> there are times for obstruction, i have engaged in it myself. it depend on what you are obstructing. if it's something big and important, understandable. if you are just trying to throw sand in the gear so the administration can't function, unacceptable. reporter: in 2 1/2 hours house speaker nancy pelosi will bring the house into session. this is the most of diverse house in history. and you add in five more female senators. the state of the union will start an hour after the house goes back into session. liz: here is the democrat narrative before president trump was elected. >> for those

we know chuck schumer got senate democrats to sign off on $46 billion.his seems to be leaving a bad taste in voters' mouths on how it went down. >> there is no reason not to fund the $5 billion. we'll have to work the administration to get to that $5.7 billion. we should have that here. we'll just have to keep working to get it. liz: the president started out with nothing, and now he's getting something. the democrats didn't get daca. anita loyey said nobody got everything. they are still saying it's a barrier, not a wall. >> this is a compromise. this is not a wall. it's barrier. these are fences. i think $1.375 is a good number. liz: senator graham says the president will move money to get a wall. >> we will move money from the drug corridors and you can move around money in the department of defense in the discretion of the secretary and the president. so under current law and in addition to what the congress will give number this deal. liz: we showed you how the u.s. code says you can use that money to build fences. is that now the plan? >> that's an

>> chuck schumer said that there is no peace in the middle east because -- >> laura: katie, her tweet12 -- i'm just trying to understand. i want to get to matt, but i'm trying to understand your level of support for her views. because what i'm hearing is, control the money or anything entering, canting from that -- that triggers a lot of people who remember the holocaust, it triggers them and i think justifiably so. here's what she said in 2012. israel has hypnotize the world. may a la awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of israel. now, matt, i would think most people would say, that was anti-semitic. if we can't agree as americans that that is on anti-semitic comments, and i don't know what the heck we are doing on cable news. >> this is what people have done. the reason why there is a zionist movement and the reason why there is a state of israel is because the jewish people were almost exterminated from the face of the globe. they did not have a sanctuary place they could go to have their own state. plenty of muslim states and plenty of arab states, and by the way,

here is the president responding to chuck schumer what is already poking at the president's speech before schumer is already criticizing my state of the union speech even though he hasn't seen it. he is upset by not getting the senate. too bad we weren't given more credit for the senate win by the media. that's the president. >> hope springs eternal in this town. i hope it does, anyway. i have my big differences with the president, no doubt about that. but i think this is a moment where the president should be given the opportunity to rise again if he can and articulate a vision that's unifying. i would personally like to see him get specific on how we rebuild america's infrastructure. i was disappointed in his last speech when he didn't address it with much specificity. i will be sitting there, i'm going to give the president the benefit of the doubt. i have some doubts but i'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he rises above what i think has been a pretty partisan and i think very narrow debate so far. >> bill: the problem with that is the tweet sandra just read follow

this morning," we'll have reaction from vice president mike pence and senate democratic leader chuck schumer. >> the president's message also included a call for lower drug prices. we'll introduce you to a father who goes to canada to save tens of thousands of dollars a year on his son's life-changing prescriptions. >> the man accused of holding 13-year-old jayme clossap for 88 days is due in court today. a family friend talks about jayme's recovery and jake patterson's lawyers talk about defending him against charges of kidnapping and murder. >> plus, we'll reveal the music teach being honored at this year's grammy and says he's nothing without his students. an we begin with a look at today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. >> and madam speaker, the president of the united states. >> the president calls for unity in his address to the nation. >> there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. >> donald trump crushed it tonight. >> that was the worst delivered speech. >> one of the most historic speeches. >> i think it was brilliant. >> psychoticall

>> right, he's saying chuck schumer criticized the state of the union speech. remember, last year it was about unity, too, and the day after his state of the union speech he was going after democrats on twitter. and so this is what you see from this president in highly scripted events like this where he's going to be reading from a teleprompter, where all the themes are laid out by his aides and he's prepared beforehand. he doesn't necessarily talk the talk before and after. in terms of what we can expect, we can expect some of these bipartisanship ideas on how democrats and republicans can work together on infrastructure and opioid addiction. what i don't think you'll hear in the president's speech is a lot of news, on issues like the north korea summit. he told the oval office last week he'll have more details on the speech, but now we're hearing that more than likely won't happen. and in this stage, it can change at the last minute, so we have to be careful. at this stage there are no plans for him to announce an emergency declaration on the border wall. >>

you want to see my chuck schumer imitation?this and he looks like mr. burns. >> greg: he does. montgomery burns. >> juan: saying that he shouldn't read from scripts when he's talking. the word from the anchors was president trump was putting himself -- chuck schumer at the lunch before the state of the union. >> dana: he accidentally forgot to give her from moment to allow her to open up the thing. it didn't start off that way. >> dagen: she still had that not resting b face. "one more thing" is up next. uh! guess what day it is? guess what day it is! huh...anybody? julie! hey...guess what day it is? ah come on, i know you can hear me. mike mike mike mike mike... what day is it mike? ha ha ha ha! leslie, guess what today is? it's hump day. whoot whoot! ronny, how happy are folks who save hundred of dollars switching to geico? i'd say happier than a camel on wednesday. hump day!!! get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best to make yo

if you're chuck schumer, you run for senate.ere's what they say. >> i'm trying to figure out how i can best serve this country, where i can do the greatest good for the united states of america. so, yeah, i'm thinking through that, and it may involve running for the presidency, it may involve something else. >> i understand the opportunity to run for senate is a critical one, and i think 2021 is going to be a key pivotal year as democrats start to take more control in d.c. my job is to decide that i'm the right person to join the fray. >> look, those are bold states the democrats have felt they could eventually have a chance in for a long time. the obama campaign felt they could run in georgia, realized they didn't need to do it to win the presidency. hillary clinton thought running in georgia. these are states that they think the demographic is changing in such a way that they could potentially flip a seat and win in those places. also, of course, presidential years are generally better. for democrats, turnout is higher and tha

what i found interesting of that connell, chuck schumer for the most part has been supportive of the china stance. he and some democrats said they believe president trump has gone after china in the correct manner more so than president obama in the past. the president at this point clearly extending a invitation to the top two democracy well. connell: not making a tough enough deal with china heading into 2020. neil would be proud bringing up the national debt. reporter: i had kneel in mind, i promise you that. i hope neil is watching somewhere. connell: i don't know. if i was off would i be watching. he talks about the national debt. we got over 22 trillion as a headline this week. i did not get the sense that the president was happy to get that question. be that as it may, it is an important one. reporter: one word growth. we heard from it larry kudlow, yesterday or two days ago. when he was asked a form of this question and he said, you know, that there is growth. of course the administration talks about growth paying for taxes. we hear a lot about growth, growth. when i asked pr

but a month into a presidency and chuck schumer came out and said that the president the e.u. which if somebody picks a fight to say to pick a fight with the intelligence community you think of a way of getting back at that person and there was an example where the democrat senator in the ninety's there. was a congressman actually he exposed u.s. army intelligence or in killing some guatemalan citizens during the civil war there what happened after that the cia did everything possible to malign him to malign him never again that torie cheli come out with any serious criticism of the u.s. intelligence community and this is a this is a hole that we're the ones that the cooked the books as it were for the illegal invasion of two thousand and three they're still around exactly it is exactly you know you begin in the state exactly and so this chuck schumer's warning it's coming to bear right now in scotland to bear against him. is this political move. is this a way to undermine him because i get it he said with e-mail here i mean these are people that have made it up through the ra

because they get stock options that they get to print themselves free of money but in particular chuck schumer and bernie sanders are proposing legislation that would prevent companies from buying back their own shares unless they first pay workers at least fifteen dollars an hour and offer paid off time and health benefits. right so stock buybacks are anti free market capitalism right because normally companies that go into a recession and they're not equipped to handle the recession they go out of business it's called creative destruction and new companies arise and that's called capitalism it's dynamic it creates job opportunities and has organic growth if companies are allowed to buy back their own stock particularly with money they're borrowing from the federal reserve bank of zero percent interest then they can weather a downturn by simply goosing their earnings and rewarding executives to fail so it's a way to reward executives to fail and that's totally ansa capitalism that sounds more like some communist backwater and yet it has gone on since the early one nine hundred eighty s. as pa
