Here's today's #BigHardFact: According to the official State House website, the Chief of Staff's role is to oversee the Office of the President, manage the President's schedule and correspondence, and any other duties that may be assigned by the President. Does it MATTER who the President's Chief Of Staff is? #HardFacts | Sandra Ezekwesili
President Trump's top economic adviser has been making excuses for the Federal Reserve for a long, long time. In fact, he really didn't get as much credit as he probably deserved for lulling Americans into a false sense of security prior to the housing collapse of 2008, which he didn't see coming. That's kind of a trend for former CNBC host Larry Kudlow: he's usually overly optimistic and he never sees the recession coming (as opposed to Peter Schiff, who predicted 10 out of the last 2 recessions). Unlike Schiff, Kudlow doesn't err on the side of caution, which is too bad given that he's been tapped to head the administration's coronavirus "stimulus" package. Kudlow assured the world in 2014 that we would have a trade surplus by 2020 if we became net exporters of energy. That never happened. He assured the world in 2005 that we would never have a collapse of the housing market. The housing market imploded just three years later. Does the President really want to give control of fiscal policy to a guy who, by his own admission, can't perceive the largest material risks to the economy? Perhaps there's a method to his madness. If the coronavirus is going to tank markets no matter what, the people the President puts in charge of responding to it are probably going under the bus. That being the case, it's hard to think of a more deserving person than Larry Kudlow. Maybe he'll finally get the credit he deserves for the Mother of All Bubbles. We'll also be talking about the new migrant crisis that Erdogan unleashed on Greece, the ouster of Mick Mulvaney as the President's Chief of Staff, and the spread of the coronavirus. This is EPISODE 384 of So to Speak w/ Jared Howe!
A combative President Trump answers reporters' questions at the White House -- his tone reflecting the high stakes now that public impeachment hearings are just days away. And House Democrats release closed-door testimony from two more key impeachment witnesses. Plus, the President's Chief of Staff defies an impeachment subpoena. The President says letting Mick Mulvaney testify would legitimize the inquiry. Democrats say it is more obstruction, and insist Mulvaney is central to the Ukraine quid pro quo. And Michael Bloomberg is once again flirting with a 2020 Presidential bid. Many Democrats scoff, but team Bloomberg sees an opening amid a vulnerable field.

(7/17/19) Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney reportedly told attendees at a recent fundraising retreat in Chicago that he does not attempt to control the President’s tweeting, time or family. Instead, according to the July 15 Washington Post article “‘His own fiefdom’: Mulvaney builds ‘an empire for the right wing’ as Trump’s chief of staff,” he is building his own power base in Washington through a formerly inactive White House office called the Domestic Policy Council. In this week’s “TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent” on WBAI, Lisa Rein, a reporter covering federal agencies and the management of government in the Trump administration for the Washington Post and one of the co-writers of the article, helps break down Mulvaney’s efforts to cultivate his own GOP power base and considers what that could mean for US policy.
One year ago today, Barbara Bush passed away. In honor and memory of the former First Lady who was loved and admired by so many, a very special episode with a woman who had a front row seat to the remarkable lives of both Barbara and her beloved George, the 41st President of the United States. Jean Becker worked along side the Bushes for the past 30 years, 25 of them as the former President's Chief of Staff after he left office. Just two and a half weeks ago, she closed the doors of the Office of George Bush for the last time. In her first sit down interview since then, Jean shares just a few of the treasure trove of stories rolling around in her head. Some will make you laugh, some might bring a tear to your eye, and some, regardless of your politics, will remind us all how the former President and First Lady embodied civility.Support the show (http://patreon.com/OurVoicesMatterPodcast)
