Real insane part of this clip is Hassett saying in the beginning that NY Fed researchers “should be disciplined” for…writing an economics paper that comes to a conclusion the president dislikes? A conclusion that matches the vast majority of economic evidence on tariffs? Nuts
Hassett: "The basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is sure, we're importing stuff from China, but we've got producers in US who make stuff, maybe at alightly higher place. If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."

I will summarize it for you @atrupar.com

Jesse Jackson is dead, but look at all the things that I did to help him, like no other person ever did or wanted to. I am amazing. But condolences to his family.
I ain’t reading all that I’m happy for you though or sorry that happened

"out of the box dipolomacy" is right. Most people would call this outright theft of a sovereign nation's natural resources
Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."

Anderson Cooper’s exit from 60 Minutes is another sign that Bari Weiss is ruining CBS News in service to an authoritarian regime that wants no accountability journalism. What a disgrace.
