federal standards. i put that question to julia steyn, the director of the emmett institute on climate change in los angeles know is that currently we have one harmonised national standard stop and this is important because the trump administration has said it wa nts to trump administration has said it wants to create one national standard, but that's actually what we have on the books right now. the federal standards in the california standards have been harmonised. what this would do is create some disparity, potentially, between what california has on the books and what the federal government has on the books. and so when it comes to air quality, what does that mean in realistic terms? well, it's pretty significant. so a big portion of the regulations that are covered under the waiver are regulations that california uses to address its very serious smog pollution problem. and there are also regulations that 15 other states in the united states rely on to do the same thing. so there are significant consequences to this action. and when it comes to the decision—making, the reasoning for it, the president s

of a mom-and-pop real estate shop to one of the world's largest and most complex institutions, the united states federal government. the central problem, however, is that trump is a bad negotiator. with both kim jong-un and the taliban, he gave away crucial leverage right from the start. the north koreans have wanted one-on-one meetings with the u.s. president for decades. trump gave away that prize right away, hoping to charm kim into giving up his nuclear weapons. so far, kim-1, trump-0. with afghanistan, trump excoriated president obama for announcing deadlines with troop withdrawals, and yet he's done something similar, repeatedly announcing his eagerness to quit and then be surprised that the taliban sought to press its advantage. consider pahrumptrump's model o afghanistan. he fired john bolton, apparently, because bolton objected to making a deal with the taliban, except that trump then canceled talks with the taliban, effectively agreeing with bolton. anyway, with bolton gone, trump does have the opportunity to act on his instincts and get something, a new iran deal. let's face it, his re-imposi

federal reserve was was founded back in the 1920 s. that. the president has exerted so much pressure on the institution. there's no question that that has got to count for something and the the chair of the federal reserve who president trump appointed to the position has been as they say between a rock and a hard place and the concern is not just the u.s. economy but economies around the world who really are dependent. what those interest rates look like and so you know if we have a bad situation in the global economy outside of the united states it's going to end up on our shores day at some point but it took a long time to be able to bring interest rates to where they are now we faced of course the financial crisis in 2008 and so bringing those interest rates back to a semblance of reality took some real hard engineering on the part of the federal reserve now we're in a position where we're going to start cutting concern obviously is that if we do reach a point that we are going to be experiencing a recession what tools will be left to be able to combat that recession and so that's a big question on p
