tim o'brien is back with us.m so long. what are your thoughts about this? >> i'm sure other americans had the same question but i think that we are in a moment following uvalde, following buffalo, following highland park this weekend, where people are trying to really build on the momentum that we're seeing around the outrage around this unrelenting gun violence in our country, and so you know, i think that the questions that representative maloney is raising are questions that should be put to these gun manufacturers in front of the american people. it is certainly reasonable for congress to be asking exactly the questions that she was raising in that letter. >> you know, there is an appetite among the public, tim, for so much more than what has passed and i don't seek to diminish bipartisan legislation, nothing's been done in decades and it's good that they did something. but you've got upwards of 80% of all americans who support universal background checks. you've got upwards of 80% of all americans who suppor

, on the same topic, potential violence on january 6. >> i received a call from robert o'brien, that national security advisor. he had asked if he could speak with mr. meadows about potential violence that he was hearing about potentially happening on the hill on january 6. i asked if he had connected with tony, because he had a conversation with him, mark, about that topic. robert said, i will talk to tony. then i don't know if robert ever connected with mark about the issue. >> ms. hutchinson, can you describe to us tony's responsibilities as deputy chief of staff? >> the deputy chief of staff at the white house is arguably one of the most important positions somebody can hold. they are in charge of all security protocol for the campus and all presidential protect ees. anything that requires security for any individual that has presidential protection, for the chief of staff, or the national security advisor, as well as the vice president's team, too, tony would oversee all of that he was a conduit between white house staff and the secret service. >> thank you. he also describes a

so i ended up staying at my desk, when robert o'brien arrived at the white house the next morning, theof the seventh. i.d. briefed with him and left for the last time. >> you bopha and i both share a passion for the national security of our country. can you share with -- me what's your view on how january 6th impacted our national security? >> when you have a presidential transition, even though the circumstances, it is a time of vulnerability. it's a time of vulnerability. when you have a contested election, i was certainly concerned that some of our adversaries would be tempted to probe or test u.s. resolve as an example, in late december, the iranian government attacked the u.s. embassy in baghdad. they did that using some of their terrorist proxies. president trump did handle that, he sent a clear warning to the ayatollah and his regime. which, i think kind of had a useful effect. i think we would've handled other threats of that nature, and no other threats materialized before the inauguration on the 20th. but our national security was harmed in a different way than on the 6th of

i'mjane o'brien, thanks hello, thanks forjoining me.ff, hasn't it, compared to what we had in the last few days. but i want to show you that hot air is never too far away this time of the year. now, this planetary view of the atmosphere over the next ten days shows these very warm currents of air to the south of us, where you would expect them, across the mediterranean. and you can see these patterns, these undulating patterns, and it's all about whether we get into one of the crests, or the ridges, of the heat that could be spreading in from the south. now, this is a schematic in the next ten days or so, and where you see that ridge, that is the hot air travelling further north, and we could find ourselves in one of these hot spells again in the next ten days or so. so, statistically, across europe, this time of year is pretty much the peak of the summer in terms of the temperatures, heatwaves are highly likely across spain, france, into germany, so close to us, and that does mean a chance of hot air returning to the uk. that was tempe

even conan o'brien got in on the act. check out this tweet.use now says it is only a recession if a salamander wearing a top hat. maybe this will stand in. golly what you do make of this full-court press to tell us it is is not a recession? >> what i make of it conan o'brien is smarter than the council of economic advisors. of course it is a recession. this is just a semantic game. by the way there is a whole bunch, we'll have clips on our show, friend jared bernstein in 2019 saying two straight quarters. brian deece. it is a silly debate. it was a lousy report. no consumer spending. housing is crashing as you may know. business investment is negative. we have worse, the july numbers are coming in worse. so this is going to be a recession. we have not seen the worse of the recession, frankly the fed's tightening moves are not yet reflected. first half recession was about hijacking inflation and declining real wages, declining real retail sales. the worse worst of this is still in front of that. i regret to say that i don't like recessions. you
