A much overlooked part of Zelensky Trump call was Zelensky letting Trump know up front he stayed at Trump property in NYC. Zelensky read his briefing memo.

In 1968 along with student Pres. Luiz Simmons we started political union at AU. Looking for a name and thinking of Kennedy’s famous AU speech we called it Kennedy Political Union (KPU). As the first director I am very proud the KPU is still active at AU today.

Late in the day, holiday tomorrow, but thought I’d share today’s appearance on CNBC by my Fundstrat colleague and head of research Tom Lee. Always interesting!

I believe that the Warner/Portman and Wyden/Toomey staff are working to find compromise and get WH out of the bind they created by taking a position on this issue.

Janet Yellen is a solid person who I think doesn’t have a harsh partisan tone to her, which is what I think Biden is looking for. Mnuchin did a good job in a very difficult situation, keeping relations open with Pelosi and Yellen can do the same thing with Senate Republicans.

As a native Cincinnatian and an assistant in DC for Cincinnati US Rep Bill Keating in the 70s a project I got to work on was saving Union Terminal and the fantastic mosaic murals. This summer I went to Cincy and showed the saved bldg to my grandson.

Funny AF 1 story actually AF 2. As a young Cong aide did a memo for VP Ford and I was asked to join him on flight on AF2. Excited to be on big presidential AF plane. But it was energy crisis and this is plane I flew on with VP.

One time talking to a Japanese banker he made the same point that due to culture and language Japan had not had the success of USA in attracting immigrants. It is infusion of manpower, creativity, and dreams that immigrants bring to USA and is key to USA success in the future.

Deal will require bipartisan vote and moving new deadline until 2025 is a big get for Ds. R House bill had end date of 3/31/24. This is worth a lot for Ds to get.

Debt ceiling off to the White House. Following bipartisan House vote Senate votes 63 to 36 to suspend debt ceiling until 2025. Big deal to take this out of the political debate for 2 years.

Hate to be a broken record but don’t listen to my Fundstrat colleague Tom Lee at your own risk-his track record is pretty darn good.

We are about 15 miles from Mar-A-Lago and I think I can hear yelling.
