are we nitpicking here? republicans can sometimes gets in the position where they are perceived to be nitpicking on issues that are not the primary issues. >> he is also under investigation for the trump russia collusion. i did spill over into some of his text messages. they are actively looking at his role on that. he tried to say he wasn't a subject. he is a subject. jason, before we let you all go. what are the grounds for an fbi counsel to shut down questionin questioning, answering questions from congressional oversight committee hearings like this question are he kept relying on that. is that valid? >> it is absolutely not valid. the former chairman of the oversight committee, there is no privilege between a government employee in a government attorney. there is none. the other part is, they have no privileges. >> laura: jason, thank you. great panel. up next to giuliani on all this. don't go away (director) cut! nice, candace, but this time bold. did someone say "bold?"

and he would say, oh, gosh don't nitpick, this will be great marketing when we're going forfunding, andt started off as storytelling to make money and that's essentially how it's continued. i want to emphasize that scientifically we don't know how a thought is represented in the brain. we don't know what a thought is. we don't scientifically understand what meaning is. i mean, this isjust completely beyond our reach. so genuine autonomy for machines is a long way away? but here's the here's the key thing. the right way to understand ai, in my view, is as a form of theft. and what i mean by that is that these programs, machine learning programs, require enormous amounts of data from people and we simply take the data... if you talk to people from google they'll say our realjob is building ai, and we need all your data to do this. but then the trick, the thing that is terribly annoying is that they then turn around and say because we've taken all your data and correlated it and interpolated it and projected it, we're creating this program that will now replace you, you are no longer neede

people and his enemies nitpick on the little stuff. it doesn't affect the average american's life.ut i want to talk about civility. our friend judge jeanine pirro went on "the view." here is an exchange with whoopi goldberg. >> i am 62 years old. there have been a lot of people in office i didn't agree with. but i have never ever seen anything like this. i have never seen anybody whip up such hate and be this dismissive. i don't have trump derangement. i have a lot -- i'm tired of people starting a conversation with mexicans are liars and rapists. >> they end up murdering the children american citizens. >> what's horrible is if the president of the united states beats the hell out of people. say good-bye. jesse: they cut to break and allegedly she gets booted off the studio lot and all hell broke loose. this isn't supposed to happen. she wouldn't even let her answer the question. this is par for the course, i think. >> i give the judge huge respect on this point. they added anna navarro to the show. so it's 3 on 1. it was like 4 liberals -- megyn is not a liberal. so it was 4 on 2.

she will tell them to be flexible, not to nitpick but to actually be not much more flexible in its approacherate that there is a red line about northern ireland. she will not leave northern ireland in the same rules as the republic, and create an internal customs border within the united kingdom, she said that something she wouldn't do and no british prime minister would, so she is making that very, very clear in a speech tomorrow. but to some extent she is still being overshadowed, somewhat, by problems at westminster, because when she was in northern ireland she was asked about the pairing row that is going on at westminster, and she said that the party chairman, brandon lewis, and her chief whip julian smith party chairman, brandon lewis, and her chief whipjulian smith made an honest mistake. now, what she was referring to, of course, was that crucial trade ill, that vote that the government won byjust six votes on tuesday. brandon lewis had undertaken not to vote on a crucial division, because on the other side of the argument, the liberal democrat mp joe of the argument, the liberal de

. >> but it's a little bit like semantics now what you're nitpicking at. what was introduced and what this body voted on is different than now what you are asking us, this committee -- when i say this body i meant the board of supervisors. we took a vote and we said these are the positions we are going to use, this is the classification we want to see in the office of cannabis and now you're here six months later saying, okay, we've got the office of cannabis up and operational, we've got our people in place, we underestimated the skill set that we were going to need for this one particular job and so we want you to not up but up two times i guess to stick with the bla's language this classification. that is creating a 44% increase. now if you would have come to the board of supervisors and said this is our original classification, this is what we want for this job i don't know if i would have voted for that. can you understand? put yourself in my position, how i kind of feel tricked. >> i can understand it, supervisor, yes. >> what's your name, adam? >> k

there's something that somebody can nitpick on.lay the process and the one thing that the white house is trying to work out right now, how much they can produce and how quickly. >> shepard: thanks, zeke. the president choose as consummate d.c. insider while saying that he wants to drain the swamp. interesting juxtaposition. after more than two weeks trapped inside the flooded cave, an entire soccer team and their coach are out and free. there is so much ahead for these young people and their coach. we'll have the details and more on what is next for the 12 children and the coach mentally, physically and otherwise. that's coming up. a live report from thailand straightaway. es puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of m

not really responding to some of the conditions which i believe are important, so i don't want to nitpick it. i think anybody who takes a challenge could step back a little bit and look at it differently. which includes how you engage the facade really in a manner that, for example, on the pie street building, a portion of that facade is kept as a solarium. whether that meets mr. bueller's definition, i'm not sure. it's an attempt to give more than just pasted on facadism. >> president hillis: commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: so on the 13th of september if staff who certified the financial feasibility and peer review could walk us through it and make sure that there's nothing that mr. bueller said that we haven't considered, that would help a lot, that i can certify it. this is the first time i've seen these. thanks. >> clerk: very good, commissioners. there's a motion, and just to be clear, this is to continue items 14, 15 a and b to september 13. [roll call] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously, 6-0. we have no other items on your agenda. >>

this as a meteorologist you always find something to look at as f as the forecast goes and kind of nitpicke're deciding. tomorrow we're going to go 90 or 91 degrees so that's the big exciting discussion today that we were having putting together our forecast. o current temperatures right now in the upper 80s to around 90. 90 i washington and 87 in college park and 82 in annapolis and, drum roll, please. decided on a high temperature tomorrow of actually 90. i need to update that forecast and we're g at plenty of sunshine out there on friday and another reallynice day. a carbon copy of today. low humidity and no rain chances an far as the pollen report goes, that looking pretty nice as well. trees, weeds and grasses coming in mold spores continue to come in low to moderate and that's the case for the last week. when we talk about humidity we peook at dew point ttures, and i just posted more about his on my facebook and twitter pages. when a dew point temperature is below 65, even bow 60 degrees in the summer, it's amazing outside. typically our deweroint teures would be in the pper 60s to l

. >> not that we want to completely nitpick what economists forecast, most were looking for 2.8%. to your point, wage growth is very stubborn, unless people are actually jumping. i know james, your colleagues wrote that fantastic piece in the "wall street journal" yesterday. >> thanks for that. >> called the quitters are getting ahead. what you talk about, adam, get a better raise, you have to move shops. adam: you have to quit. >> overall 93rd consecutive month of jobs being added to the u.s. economy. this is the longest streak on record. if you look at fed fund rate, seems like the fed took the data as neutral. we'll still raise rates two more times, which follows what market watchers expected so to me that is a steady. the wild card to me is the trifecta, combination of fed raising rates even if it is well telegraphed, energy prices, unknown, the x-factor, what the tariffs may or may not do, this tariff tiff if not war we're having right now. that is the formula i'm following in those three moving parts. adam: heather, pick up on what deirdre is saying. neil: i would take a rea

they're nitpicking at the process of the investigation because the facts scare them. took one big thing away from that. rob rosenstein is standing tough, and remember this, willie, rod rosenstein know what is mueller has already. he is the one person that know what is mueller has already. he shows supreme confidence in every decision he's made. that should scare the president. >> and he stood his ground in that hearing. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. we'll look forward as always to "meet the press" this morning. chuck gets into the supreme court battle with republican senator lindsey graham and democratic senator maria cantwell. >>> our other big story is the dangerous heat wave affecting more than 110 million of you across 22 states. today going to be the hottest day of them all. dylan is tracking it for us. hey, dylan. >> it's already hot out there right now. look at our current temperatures. it's 80 currently in st. louis, 82 in new york city, same in boston, and your feels-like temperatures are already in the mid to upper 80s for a lot of areas in the northea

we should not be spending time nitpicking people who want to criticize others for simply speaking out what they believe. and i think that it's my right as a citizen, it's my responsibility as a mother, and the same thing goes for everybody else in america. >> all right. kristin, i want to ask you to stick around a bit. i'm going to bring clarence page into this conversation. let me play for you what conservative political commentator eric balling said today about pruitt. take a listen. >> you're a public servant. you're serving at the behest of the president, but you're also serving the public. i don't think anyone out there on eerd side of the aisle or the middle would say that what scott pruitt is doing is serving the public. it sounds like scott pruitt is serving scott pruitt. >> what's your reaction to that, clarence? what's your assessment of what he's doing and when you're hearing conservative commentators like that and saying scott pruitt is not serving anybody but scott pruitt? >> it's a different experience hearing eric bolling criticizing a fellow conservative like that. i c

. >> this is a nitpicking question but mentioning exempting family heirlooms that are not that efficiently allocated but did you think about those problems with monopoly power with vacant properties? so that could be an example of churches that have valuable land? >> so whenever to propose the market in the first place there has to be a limit on any market where the market system interferes with people's value but if you take a church they have to pay the mortgage if there is one or property taxes and if they don't they lose the church so it can be respected or not depending on the system and if it's important enough to be to the market. >> but there is a lot of non- sacred property left. >> i'm trying to understand in terms of property rights there was a strong argument from de soto and his book working more than 20 years for the one with third world development and property rights are the basis historically for the growth of successful capitalist systems that you take a totally opposite view. >> the theory for property rights is they give people incentives to invest or solid in the futur

nandini: it is, as always, a bit of fun to really nitpick the central bank's statement spirit we lovethe economic community. it will happen at the end of 2019. as wel get something evolve in the next 12 months, and that could solidify what happens, but for now, interest rate hikes are a story for the second half of next year. it has very much to do with the fact that as we evolve there is not a strong growth that you had expected one year ago with some of the survey numbers in europe. it is a little bit more moderated, and the ecb will turn into that as we progress into the second half of this year. david: take us to the meeting a little bit and what is likely to be discussed. do they focus on emi, on italy, because they cannot quite get a budget together? what are they principally going to be looking at? nandini: it is certainly a risk that we have been monitoring, and of course the ecb has been looking at very closely, but a lot of the rhetoric from the italian political sphere has been reduced to terms of italy leaving the euro or large issues around that front. i think there is a

for a presidential speechwriter is it more difficult to work with an articulate president who might nitpick and torture them to hell , producing draft after draft, where a less articulate president will take the speech hook line and sinker? i disagree. i think there are a lot of famous speechwriters. the whole obama team is famous. everyone knows john favreau, they have gotten plenty of coverage from the media. i don't think -- they have gotten their fair share of credit, i would say. i don't know about that. maybe they are more outlets now because they are all over the podcasts. sapphire had a column. there are more ways to get your voice out to claim credit and be famous, i guess. >> does everyone here know that chris matthews was a presidential speechwriter. he wrote for president carter. i am thinking -- bill safire was a fine guy, a presidential speechwriter for nixon and did effective speeches. another person was pat buchanan. he had been with next and before he was president. himself hired buchanan based on reputation when he was still getting ready to run again for president and 68.

whether or not that becomes an issue in the midterm, it's kind of nitpicking, but it's important for his voters. we will see what happens. they try to make that play. the next supreme court justice and respect on capitol hill today. republicans are confident they will get us through. what you think. >> just looking at the numbers to celebrate down with the overwhelming majority if not everyone of the republicans voting yes in a few democrats vote yes. that will get more than the 50 votes that you need. what we are looking at is the economy growing on all eight cylinders. what you see is a reason and to feel secure about the situation. neil: the backdrop is one that could grow as the ear ensues. every quarter will be against the year ago quarter where the tax rates were a lot higher. then of course the next year again similarly low tax environment. but it could carry republicans to better-than-expected performances this november. it is always risky to calculate out. right now it doesn't appear to be the maximum movement early. >> political parties tend to run on each other's weaknesse

. >> i don't mean to nitpick on this but i want to understand here the 2% goal, if i'm understandingtly, has relatively little to do with nato per se. but it reflects the amount of money that the countries have pledged to spend as a percentage of gdp on their own defense budgets. am i right on that >> that's correct. and again, most of the nato allies are not doing that. and given the fact that the united states has an enormous spend on its defense low pressure almost -- 3.5, 3.6% of the american budget is spend on defense -- that's all over the world. but certainly the u.s. does a lot more lifting in terms of disposition of troops, capacity for logistics. i mean you may remember during the war in libya you had troops from europe stranded unless the united states was capable of getting them back because they didn't have the logistical capability themselves. so certainly many of the europeans are consistently underspending on defers. that's been a problem for obama. it's been a problem for trump. >> is there any hope ian that the president could make headway when the president product

says you are and these numbers are not good jpmorgan, i think it was an incredible quarter i can nitpick on that quarter, but there was so much that was good a lot of talk about the u curve on a conference call but i think these are different animals and jpmorgan i think is a buy, wells like i said, i'm kind of wrong, i have codone a t of work on wells a lot of down sequential numbers, but year over year, just terrible. big miss. >> jpmorgan opened up a bit. we're only 20 minutes into trading right now. we're talking, what, 14% return on equity, 17% return on tangible common equity, you liked the quarter from jpmorgan. >> i liked it very much. the market's saying i'm wrong, but if we look at these companies after the second half of the year, you might regret selling these at down, citi, blowing it's actual book value, not the tangible it seems a mistake, because mike cor corvast. jpmorgan, it's very difficult for people to say anything other than, you know what? this is -- i don't really care about jpmorgan, this group is bad, let's get rid of the group. >> a good quarter, it does trade

. >> i don't mean to nitpick here, eamon. >> no, go ahead. >> i'm just curious, you know on one handresident's staff or the people your sources are saying the let the fed do what they've been doing let them get it out of the system quicker that will in the end be better. but on the other hand, if they are -- if white house officials are expressly saying to you that the president is worried the fed will raise interest rates two moore li more times this year, that feels to me like express pressure on the federal reserve not to do something. >> right well it depends -- i mean be, it's express pressure in the president's mind on the president. the question is whether or not he expresses that pressure on the phone with the fed chair that sore of thing trying to make them do what he wants i'm told that the president's goal here is not to put pressure, acre to this white house official, not to put pressure on the fed but simply press his opinion. >> but the white house official is saying the president is explicitly worried the fed is raising interest rates two more times. that's a communica

listen, the guts of this report -- i know, everybody wants to nitpick and do ankle biting.ally the private economy has grown better than 4% and virtually no inflation. the inflation numbers came out at that time 2%. let me give you the precise number. 2.2% the core deflateer, 2% or 1.9. strong growth, no inflation, last point lots of business investment. money is coming in. here is the key. money is coming into the united states from all over the world. we are the hottest economy and they know it. >> sandra: is there anything that you're seeing that concerns you? that might not lead to this being sustainable-type growth? you talk to the guys in the markets. they're worried about the flattening of the curve. there is some concern when you talk to guys on wall street there might be some indication of a turnaround here or unsustainable growth. >> look, i try to follow and track all those things. they are legitimate issues and important variables. now that we're in the weeds -- i love it that you're asking me a yield question. 10 years just about 3% now, 10 years, the 3-month t

not just be so quick to nitpick to keep trouble knowing. of the problems we face now are because we've had such wrongheaded thinking for so long. in our a brush lines of policymakers. i think we would do well to look at things from another point of view within ourselves. host: another story in today's paper about the united states russian relationship in the ongoing investigation into russian agents in the united states. to aussian woman with ties senior russian government official was charged in washington yesterday with conspiracy to act as an agent of the russian federation including by building ties to leadership of the national rifle association and other conservative political associations. arrested sunday the district of columbia and made her first appearance in district court before a magistrate judge and was ordered held without bail. cultivate trying to relationships with american politicians to establish back channel of communication and seeking to infiltrate groups including an unnamed gun rights organization to advance russia's

we're nitpicking over the details with the three circuit court judges but you do have three judges hereto adhere to the text of the constitution. some have more experience on the bench than others, amy coney barrett was just confirmed a few months ago to the federal circuit. i think that the president can't really make a mistake on this one. >> sandra: pluses and minuses to his top picks so far. >> he is building interest. he is building drama. but i think that there is a lot of pressure on him to pick a woman. and that's why even though she is the least experienced of the three top contenders, the idea that he would be tutoring the #metoo movement by picking a woman and a catholic. a woman seven children. that's very, very impressive to the president but it will be personality over pedigree. >> leland: we've seen that in other picks. the personality and how they get along. alexandra you'll be responsible for supporting whoever this pick is, whoever it is. in the same way it seems it doesn't matter who the pick is, the democrats will oppose it. >> true. like mary said we have an embarra
