i'm tim white, your host here at the beautiful lincoln theater in marion, virginia. kicking things off for us will be the trinity river band. originally known as the harris family, trinity river band, they trace their beginnings to their first public performances together in their home church in may of 2007 in the pine forest of northeast florida. after that humble beginning and without knowing where it might lead, trinity river band worked hard and prayed harder, striving to improve and pay their dues in a tough industry while staying true to their beliefs and to each other. these were years of learning their craft and making better recordings. with each passing year, slowly meeting people, gaining experience, and developing a devoted locally and then regionally fan base. they put on a great show, and we're pleased to have them here on the show tonight. here's the trinity river band on song of the mountains.

from the nooic"the new york tim white house correspondent peter packer. "washington post" white house reporter ashley parker. at the table with us, alyssa, former obama white house deputy chief of staff for operations. who could barely keep a straight face through all that. michael crowley, senior foreign affairs correspondent politico. jim rutenberg with "the new york times." lydia pulgreen, editor in chief. let me start with you, that was sarah huckabee sanders taking on the art of the tease. what's she talking about, what's the new tough on russia news that the white house is holding back from you guys? >> yeah, we should all be investigating that. i don't know the answer to the question. i wish i did. look, you know, unpacking what she said there, it is true, of course, that there was criticism of what president obama did or did not do last year. including from some of his own, you know, former top aides who wish they had done more at the time, try to pressure him to do a little bit more. it's also true that he no longer is the president of the united

white house. but i think you all know what president trump thinks about wisdom.ional [laughter] >> the a conventional wisdom tw years ago said that hillary be inn and timuld the white house but i stand before you today humbled to say that i'm vice president of the united states, and president donald trump serves in the white house every single day. be inuse] the white house but >> i mean, the truth is, in 2016, we made history, and in make historying to again, when we reelect a joert in the house and senate and reelect governors all across america. happen.ing to [applause] >> now, two nights ago the resident not only laid out a vision for the country and a record of success but i truly president trump laid out a blueprint for american to take toat we need every town and every city and every highway and byway. in all the months that remain this year. e need every republican all too across this country to take that lueprint and share that story with the american people. sense,y of putting common republican principles, into practice, a story of real story of how we can take this country and bring it all the way back. relentless in our efforts to tell that

that's an interesting relationship that you can only -- we aren't in the white house with tim and the koch folks and the president but they didn't like -- we talked about in the interview, they did not support trump in 2016 but since then have really found several areas where they align pretty well with the white house. tax reform was huge for them. they moved pretty much in lockstep with folks in the white house and were in their meeting all the time with them, and it got a huge policy change that the koch network has wanted for a long time. at the same time, we talked about immigration. they are clearly trying to nudge republicans and the white house on their approach to dealing with the daca deadline that is coming up. there are still areas where i think you see that they are not quite sure -- trump is not someone you want to anger. he is someone who takes to twitter and will publicly attack you on the internet within minutes of a conversation. you can kind of see them trying to stay friendly with the white house, trying to build this relationship that they have. but there are area

white house. that's the big issue. >> and, tim the point she's making, tweeted a response, raising this ss house link. from s houses to lazy as, white house seems to be demonizing immigrants for political purposes. is this the way about kelly comments about 1.8 million immigrants going to play? racially tinged? >> just because general kelly can get the trains to run on time in the white house, doesn't mean he softens some of the extreme views that president trump has about immigration. he may magnify them. we don't know the way in which these two interact. by the way bob holder man, he was an anti-sem ite too. we don't know if he's working to get a deal or daca. >> it's like they are swirling together on this. >> i think that's right. they are echoing he shaeach oth. kelly's rhetoric might not be as harsh but plays into the stereotype of lazy latino. until we see the president make a positive case for daca recipients to stay in this country legally, say they are part of the military or communities throughout the country, i think it's unlikely he is going to change house republican minds. >> thank you

. >> tim, you first. does the whitese have a real credibility problem on top of this axios reporting that porter said he was encouraged to stay and fight? >> i think this white house has had a credibility problem for some time. it just deepens it. but it always stood to reason that the chief of staff knew about the problems found by the fbi. that would have been his job. i think the issue right now is whether this chief of staff can credibly contain donald trump the way that most people in the united states would like him to do. >> people thought that's what his job would mean. but then isn't it the president who really sets the tone, so is it really possible that the chief of staff would be the one to contain anything? >> let me just make this point, which is that he did not serve -- the chief of staff did not serve the office of the president very well in the way that he managed the porter matter. because americans have been moved by the me too movement, americans are more in touch with the issues raised by that movem

tim finally figures out, said charlie? charlie manson? so right from the beginning and the white house nixon is talking about him. not giving away too much of the plot but it concludes with tim's most unusual conversation with charlie manson about what road to take. charlie basically said, paraphrasing, that i believe in the power of death and tim said i believe in the power of love. there was another concluding scene but i don't avoid too much, but sumac a time about the nixon library here? >> might be relevant to anybody who has visited the nixon library. tim decided that he was at war with nixon they were at war with each other both personally but really for what each other stood for. manson stood for death in some way manson stood for love, i'm not sure what nixon's to four. that's for another discussion. they were defined by each other forever and ever. tim decided late in his life that he needed to perform an exorcism on richard nixon. he arranged to be invited to the next in library, i really don't think they knew who they were allowing him. it is under the guise of a future looking conference sumac they we

i want to bring in my panel, tim o'brien, bloomberg view. jennifer palmmary, white house communications director under obama. and brett stevens, op-ed columnist for "the new york times." what do you make of what you heard? >> it's clear the president's being programmed on this particular topic by the nra because i don't think he had a mind of his own on it. he's never been a student of policy. it's i think the -- >> he understands money though and if teachers are armed in schools that would sell a whole lot of guns. >> right, give them a bonus, they'll carry a gun. i think this is one of those examples where the sort of tragic comic path the president follow, the policy positions, have dangerous implications. he hasn't been a student of the gun issue other than to play to his base or play to the nra. there's good politics for him involved in that decision in terms of getting re-elected, in terms of supporting his core base. as a matter of public policy, he's ignorant. and the problem here is that he's almost advocating position, about things that he sees in films or

ukrainian artists have created their own painting of the current occupant of the white house and it's a little unusual as the bbc‘s tim of someone who is currently the biggest celebrity in the world. despite not releasing his tax returns, we know that donald trump is rich. so what better way to represent the most opulent president with a picture made up of hundreds of american coins. on the money you can see lots of faces, you can see presidents, you can see people who had honour and dignity and due to that honour and dignity, they got the place on that money, this is a symbol of the nation. the ukrainian artists behind the face of money took three months to make the work, they used poker chips, but normally the smallest of denominations and this was done for a reason. you can be rich and be cheap in the same moment. he has billions and billions of dollars and you have not any style, it cannot make you a great person. the pair's previous work was called the face of war, a portrait of vladimir putin made up of 5000 bullet shells from the frontlines of ukraine. it seems the latestjust might be too rich for some. the gal

tim? >> this is something that could haunt this white house in the months to come. >> sean: this is somethingt will haunt this country if we don't fix what has happened which i will be explaining. even disgraced former fbi director james comey, well, is he trying to get in on the action. and tonight comey tweeted all should appreciate the fbi speaking up. i wish more of our leaders would. but take heart, american history shows that in the long run weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up. not a lot of schools or streets are named after joe mccarthy. by the way the last thing we need are lecture lectures from m comey. by the way, jim, just a reminder, you have the right to remain silent. anything you say can and will be used against you. and jim comey needs to be put under oath. he needs to be questioned. and jim, i want to know why you exonerated hillary clinton months before you did the investigation, before it ever took place. and, jim, what do you know about trump-hating fbi agents peter strzok and lisa page and james comey, what do you know about andrew mccab

. >> tim, margaret, thanks very much. don't blame us. the white house says the fbi is responsible for dozens of white house staffers without full security clearance. why is trump passing the buck when national security could be at stake? >>> democrats accuse trump of plying politics with their answer to the nunes memo but will they be forced to work with the white house on it? >>> the obama's uncovered. their official portraits unveiled today amid pomp and some laughs. >> i tried to negotiate smaller ears. struck out on that as well. coaching means making tough choices. jim! you're in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the #1 brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp. and butch.aura. and tank. and tiny. and this is laura's mobile dog grooming palace. laura can clean up a retriever that rolled in foxtails, but she's not much on "articles of organization." articles of what? so, she turned to legalzoom. they helped

tim allman, bbc news. democrats in the us have criticised donald trump and paul white the refusing to discuss gun legislationg school safety would be his top priority. he failed to call for a review of gun laws. the suspect, nikolas cruz, obtained his assault rifle and ammunition illegally. the president said he will be visiting the area and the school. much more on all of that and the news at any time on our website. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @bbcmikeembley. the weekend is fast approaching and the weather is looking mixed. a little mixed through the weekend. friday, for most of us, is looking absolutely fine. a lot of clear skies out there so there is plenty of sunshine on the way. but friday is going to start off pretty frosty. here is the satellite image. we have got some snow clouds across scotland right now. there's a cold air stream coming all the way from the arctic regions — from greenland, from iceland, tucking into scotland, so here we could see over the next couple of days or so quite a bit of snow. but that is going to be mostly across the hills. so the

tim finally figures it out that -- is that charlie? charlie manson? so -- right from the beginning you know in the white house nixon is talking about about him and not giving away too much of the plot of our book but it is essentially concludes with tim's most unusual conversation with charlie manson about what road to take and charlie basically said paraphrasing but i believe in the power of death and tim said i believe in the power of love. and that was it. i guess there was another, another kind of concluding scene that i don't to give away too much. but tim nixon library here. >> no tell that story. yeah that might ring true or might be relevant to anybody or visited the nixon library. in your fine state tim decide basically he was at war with nixon and they were at war with each other. you know both prnlly but really for what each other stood for. you know if manson stood for death in some way and tim stood for love i'm not sure what nixon stood for maybe that's for another discussion. but i'm just, they were defined by each forever and ever and ever. and tim decided late in his life and nixon life

communicate with him and welcoming him and tim finally figured it out that is that you, is that charlie? charlie manson. so right from the beginning in the white house nixon is talking about him and again, i'm not giving away too much of the plot of our book but it essentially concludes with tim's most unusual conversation with charlie manson about what road to take. and charlie amazingly said, and i'm paraphrasing that i believe in the power of death and tim said i believe in the power of love and that was it . i guess there was another kind of concluding scene i want to get away too much but tim. >> about the nixon library here? tell that story. >> that might ring true or might be relevant to anybody who's visited the nixon library. in your fine state. tim decided basically, he was at war with nixon and they were at war with each other both personally but really at what each other stood for. manson stood for death in some way and tim for love. i'm not sure what nixon four. that's for another discussion but they were defined by each other forever and ever and tim decided that lay in his own life and lay in nixon's life that he needed to perfo

tim, you're the historian here. it's the folly of trying to run the white house like a family business. history has packed the white house with as many, basically with kids and in-laws as this one has. and they haven't done it because it brings you, and it invites trouble. there are so many conflicts that arise. people trying to take advantage of the president's son-in-law, you know, seeing him as vulnerable. this whole idea was a bad one. they would be so much wiser now to -- for jared and ivanka and others to move back and let this white house have a more traditional path to making policy. >> bruno was on earlier and he said he believes it is the beginning of the end for kushner -- the kushners, i should say. >> i don't see -- you know, he may want to stay, but i think it's going to be very, very uncomfortable for him to be now shut out of meetings he used to sit in and be one of the king pins. i think it is going to be very difficult for him. and somebody has to worry a lot about his organization, which has this huge debt with big payment coming up. and do they really want to be into

this morning heidi has new reporting about senator tim kaine's demand that the white house release autline president trump's interpretation of his legal authority to wage war. heidi, tell us about that memo. >> joe, we obtained a letter last night that went from senator tim kaine who sits on the armed services and foreign relations committee to secretary of state rex tillerson demanding that administration release this secret memo that was apparently drafted around the time that the u.s. dropped bombs on syria in april. it was not made public and it's prompted a number of lawsuits by outside groups trying to seek its release. why? because there's a strong suspicion by senators like tim kaine, that the administration is reinterpreting its constitutional authority to wage war rather congress's authority to, to over the u.s.'s ability to wage war. so we obtained this memo last night, at the heart of it is the fact that you know we really never got a good legal explanation from this administration about why it was interpreting its ability to wage war and to drop its bombs on syria. syria

tim, chief correspondent for political magazine. there's an interesting question as to what the white house will support. as congress gets back to town next week it's going to be slap dunk to get any of this down. the house in its background checks tied that to a concealed division. will john cornyn and chris murphy be able to get that to the floor? what are you hearing when congress gets back to town? drs i think it's very unlikely that the white house will convince house republican leadership -- even if they did i think they'll have a hard time -- certain issues ultra that are just almost a non-starter for a healthy chunk of the house. and gun control in general is one of them. a very difficult time -- >> and tim, we are looking now at the cpac teenage behind you there, matt she lop head of the eun cpac coming up. he's going to introduce donald trump. tim, how many cpac's have you begun been to? >> i'm sorry say it again, halle. >> is this like your fourth or -- >> no this is my 10th cpac. >> i want to talk about the -- which you eluded to here at the table. this is to become a very pro-trump audience.

white, it's stripped to the bone — it's like 71 minutes long! there's not an ounce of fat on it! but it is sharp, the dialogue is very acerbic, tim almost everything. but it's got a real brittle humour to it. i thought at the beginning i would find it insular and claustrophobic because it is pretty much in one location but it really made me laugh, i thought it really found its darkly comic tone. yes, it is a good watch. it's like a play for today. and so brief — i mean, like, literally. so that's a 5—star running time! thank you very much, mark. it is a cracking week. just a reminder before we go, all of the film news and reviews from across the bbc online. and all our previous programmes are on the iplayer, of course. it's a great week. enjoy your cinema going. bye— bye. hello there. at least it will be warm in the cinema because for ourselves as the cold week ahead, it was cold enough today, it will be cold again tomorrow but it will be colder still as the wind strengthened and pushes the cold air across eastern europe across the path to there are warnings on our website, it will be cold enough as website, it will be cold enoug

so, tim, instead of attacking the foreign adversary that tried to undermine our democracy, the president, the white house's reaction is to attack fellow americans. is there a precedent for this? >> well, there is no precedent for a set of indictments regarding foreign intervention in one of our elections. so we are in unchartered waters anyway. but there is it a real problem for the president. and the president now cannot credibly deny that there was a russian interference. and the president has to understand that the u.s. national security community has to figure out why the russians preferred him. not only over hillary clinton, but also over ted cruz and marco rubio. because the russians were also trying to hurt ted cruz and marco rubio during the primary campaign. so i'm not suggesting that there is a deep dark secret there. but the president has to understand that it is important for the country to know why russia prefer him. why did the russians go to this trouble to help his campaign? that doesn't mean he won because of them. >> right. >> his problem, his challenge is to separate himself from

another one saying white house to the middle east and greatly reduces his influence. now up with me. timlet me start with you, obviously raj shaw doesn't want to talk about security clearances. but this was a stunning blow to jared kushner and to the tight orbit around this president. >> this is stunning blow to president trump. it was a surprise when he basically delegated this decision to general kelly. after all, president trump like any president before him could have decided he put aside the concerns of the intelligence community and give his son-in-law security clearance. so he could have done this. decided not to. looked as if for a while jared kushner was back stopping the president. he was reading the materials the president didn't want to read. now he can't read. >> daily briefing and all of these top secret things. >> so this means that the president who generally is uncomfortable with people outside of his family orbit is now going to rely on people that are not related to him or married to members of his family. this is a big deal and striking to me that the president has sa

white house moved on this because they got caught. >> well, it wouldn't be ts first time. i want to ask you, tim, and i want to put up this time line again so our viewers can focus on this. fbi first came back with report which we know included accounts of these allegations and very serious allegations of spousal abuse in march of last year, that's 11 months ago. july the final report. they came back with even more information in november. and then in january they closed the case. the american people would have to believe that this information coming from the federal bureau of investigation to the white house about a senior staffer, not a low level staffer, a senior staffer, that this information about serious allegations of spousal abuse did not make its way to senior officials in that white house. john kelly among them, the white house counsel don mcgahn. >> you covered white houses and studied white houses. is that possible? >> well, first thing i want to say is if you, in the federal government, if you are the supervisor of a unit that includes people with clearances, you know the status of

on what he has already done, it puts the white house at lagerheads with the law enforcement community of this nation. >> wolf? >> hold on one second. let me get tim more question. >> sewer. >> you see that unfolding? >> we may see the second saturday night massacre tomorrow if the president decides hey, mccabe's against me. he was already gone. comey was against me. i got rid of him. i can do that to wray and rosenstein and find somebody who can take out mueller. then i'll be great. he is capable of doing that. >> ken cucchinelli how does rod rosenstein stay as attorney deputy general after the president clearly hit him big time today, he was asked of confidence in rosenstein and he said -- the exact words were, you figure that out. that's quoit a vote of no confidence. >> well, true. we had the same conversion about jeff sessions in the april/may timeframe if you remember last year and jeff sessions is still there as well. the bigger problem that may move rosenstein out of this mueller situation is if mueller himself goes to rosenstein as a witness and then the authority over the investigation will move to the associate attorney general from ros

as tim scott points out, the scoot shooting and the russia investigation are two separate issues. students from washington d.c. are staging a protest near the white house today calling for lawmakers to change gun laws. 17 teenagers lying on the ground to represent each of the victims murdered last week. the white house press secretary sarah sanders says president trump is open to changing the background checks system. her statement reads "the president spoke to the republican senator john cornyn of texas on friday about the bipartisan bill that he and chris murphy of connecticut introduced to improve federal compliance with criminal background check legislation. while discussions are ongoing and revisions are being considered, the president is supportive of efforts to improve the federal background check system." president trump tweeted about his national security adviser after general h.r. mcmaster said there was no question russia meddle in the presidential election. >> as you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is incontrovertible and available in the public domain. >> rod rosenstein announced the indictment of 13 russians charged wi

white house with a travel to face the washington wizards. >>> mark is up next in sports and we will be right back. >>> mark is here now and tim is back in the big leagues. speak -- >> the man they used to call the free. they also used to call it wendy -- very windy when he would pitch. he is back in baseball after being on the french. he did not even play lester, but the texas rangers are willing to take a shot. he had a tryout a couple of weeks back, and the 33-year-old was deemed good enough to earn a one-year deal with the rangers. it is $1 million with incentives loaded into it. he was a two-time cy young award winner and is pitch two no-hitters. the last time the pitch in the major leagues was 2016 when he was 2-6 with the 9.6 e.r.a.. >> you can have just about anything happen in the cactus league. it is exhibition baseball. usually at this point, the pictures are way ahead of the hitters. cleveland won the game 16-8. for the giants, they also had a lot of runs. they were down 4-2 before this home run. they were down 10-2 when he hit this double and they are trailing 10 ivan four. they load the bases in the 9th inning -- 10-4. they loa

tim smith and president of the concealed carry association. the nra under a tremendous amount of pressure. drove of companies left them. but what do you make now that the white house and nra don't see eye to eye completely on solutions here. >> i'm fine with that. i think a discussion involves a lot of different voices and opinions. the way we get where we want to be with this issue is for people to bring up lots of different ideas, discuss them, and move forward of the ate tempted dee mannization of the nra -- the attempted demonization of the nra is a deflection. the sheriff in parkland is making another person responsible for the dereliction of duty. he had four minutes in which to stop the shooter and he never engaged. now we find other officers arrived on the scene and did the same thing. i'm talking about holding people accountable. if you are in charge and you don't spend the dollars to make a building safe, you should be held accountable. charles: as someone who has been a solid nra supporter, wouldn't you be upset if they raised the federal age to 21 for a handgun and the bump stock. >> the bump stock is a non-issue. we ban them they will be readily

white house. schumer did put the wall on the table. do i think there will be a deal this year? no. maybe post-election. not he any tim any time soon. >> is that a strong argument for the president? if he goes to the base and says i got this wall i promised you but i had to give in for the dreamers, people that were brought in illegally when they were children. he'll hear from the base as he has in the past that that's amnesty. >> he will hear from some in the base. i think his base is very strong. he can do anything and his supporters will like him. he has said as much. immigration is one issue, unlike guns -- he has shifted a little on guns. on immigration, he went hard right on immigration. that's why he basically won the primary, wire to wire. >> you're right. we'll talk more about the gun issue. he does seem to have political capital to spend there. bob, good to see you. thanks a lot. >>> molly. >> the trump administration cracking down on north korea as kim jong un's nuclear program appears to be progressing rapidly. how president trump plans to further isolate the rogue regime and will it make a difference. plu

tim scott and lindsey graham. fellow republicans from his home state of south carolina and courted by white house counsel. he turned down the nomination after talking to his wife. all indications are he will practice law and teach after leaving congress. trey gowdy. >> bill: a lot of rumors going around it would be the next job. apparently not. top democrats ramping up their rhetoric and slamming president trump's immigration comments from tuesday night. will the white house and republicans ever get real immigration reform if they don't get democrats on board? and can they break the gridlock for house conservatives? to great questions for our panel taking that up right after this. >> they have no plans, they have no ideas and they have nothing they can campaign on other than being against the president's ideas. there is nothing this president can do that they will agree to cooperate with and that is why washington has been broken for 30 years. >> sandra: this is a fox news alert. we're just learning, fox news confirming that the president is expected to declassify that fisa memo transmitted to the white h

porter as white house staff secretary would normally need we think a top secret sensitive compartmented information clearance. which it has a lot of words in it because it's supposed to be timating. we now know he was not able to get a permanent security clearance of any kind. we now know that's because of what his ex-wives told fbi special agents who contacted him as part of the background collect for porter. porter's ex-wives say they both told the fbi about their allegations that he was violent toward hem in their marriages supporting evidence reportedly included this a protective order obtained against portner virginia in 2010 plus photographs plus what his second wife says was another contact with local police who she called to their home because of his behavior. a third woman who was also involved with porter though not married to him is reportedly working for the trump administration. he hshaent been named publicly but multiple news outlegs described her going to white house counsel don mcgahn directly to discuss she is concerns about porter. her own concerns about porter and what she knew about his exwives and their accusations against him, as well. we should note t

tim naftali. this is pretty hard line to take. he's taking action. doesn't stand up to the facts though, does it? >> not even ha little bit. the reason why the white house will try to address this statements, thousands of tweets, is the president consistently has tried to deflect and deny and seems particularly reluctant to criticize vladimir putin by name. he's been boxed into acknowledging what his intelligence community over will overwhelmingly regards as this. but the president is unwilling to bring himself to admit it. so we are left with asking why that is. as you've heard from all the testimony, the agency, pentagon are doing their job because they know it's america interest but not because the president has directed them to do so. >> juliet, you were department of homeland security. this is foreign security. i imagine you keep in touch with colleagues there and watch developments. what steps are you aware that the president has taken to protect u.s. elections from russian meddling in 2018 and 2020 which has been warnds out by director cia and others that it's happening now. >> i'm going to have to keep this in my hair. two things. one, a l

white house, the supreme court, and public policy events and around the c country. c-span is brought to you by your cable or satellite provider. next, representatives and senator tim scott talk about ways to create more civility and bipartisanship in politics. this form is hosted by georgetown university and took place on capitol hill. it's just under an hour. >> hello. we are at georgetown. the way you can tell you are at a catholic meeting is there is no one in the front row, and the audiovisuals never work. thank you all for coming very much. we are delighted that you are with us. my name is john carr and i am director of the initiative on catholic social thought and public life at georgetown university. we are the host of this. we are very grateful to the chaplain's office for their help , and karen, and our friends at the democracy fund who support our efforts on civil dialogue at a time when that is more important than ever. we do a bunch of stuff, we do large dialogue, of a georgetown and i will mention a couple of those at the end. probably the most important thing we do is reach out to young leaders here in washington. it's my experience, i'm very old, as

white house yanked him right back in. i just don't see trump compromising or softening niz view his views on this. >> what do you think, timt makes sense. background checks. donald trump is talking about that. banning bump stocks. these are things the nra has said in the past. for instance, cornyn's plan along with murphy on making background checks better. yet, no movement on it. >> well, first of all, when donald trump says he's considering something, he says he's considering everything. there's no core. we can't treat him like a regular president laying out policy proposals. the way to get some compromise on this is to say we're going to craft a proposal that doesn't significantly constrain the second amendment rights of law-abiding people. the problem is there's not a lot of stuff that can really limit the ability of criminals to get guns that also doesn't constrain that. so there are going to be narrow pathways they can go down. this debate has a problem of blowing up. go from talking about school shootings to try to talk about 30,000 gun deaths. once you ride in the discussion, you're sabotaging it. >> trying to clar

much the continuing strong dollar rhetoric that the white house has put out since those comments, guys >> eamon, thank you very much. still here with timnders we talked about this market volatility, but there are days, and i think today is one of them, when the magnitude and the timing of the volatility just doesn't make any sense >> i just think the volatility is something that the market needs to adjust to it's going to be a little bit of the new normal of what we're going to see at least for the remainder of the year. >> is it putting in a top or bottom >> they used to say volatility at the top was a warning sign. right now i think we're trading pretty much within a range there seems to be a lot of resistance s&p 2740, 2760 that was the gap that happened when the market opened february 5th, down 500 points and ended up down 1,000 that day but i think it's a sign, really, that we're coming out of a ten-year span where rates were zero or near zero. and pretty much central bank around the globe had compressed and controlled the price of money pretty much everywhere along the curve. that's no longer the case anymore. and you're seeing n

[laughter] and whenever possible i read whatever tim muller writes but he hides it in distant parts of the web. muller you need to do more promotion. >> follow my twitter feed if you dare.
