Good to have you both here. i want to read for you paul ryans statement on tariffs and get your response. i disagree with this action, fear unintended consequences. i am pleased the president is listening to those who share my concerns but should go further. we continue to narrow the policy so focussed only on those countries and practices that violate trade law. >> pretty amazing that finally paul ryan comes to speak out against donald trump for anything. he didnt do it when we were talking abo...

>> it is remarkable to watch them get a conscience now about this. i dont think it is personally particularly good policy but in the scope of what donald trump has done like they are really worked up about this. >> i think randy said it really well. follow the money with all of these issues. the donor base has not been that upset about racism and sexism. they know it worked for him politically at least with the majority sadly of white voters in this country. so they sort of are okay with that do...

That kim jong-un had met with officials from south korea. the south korean president has made better relations with north korea a priority. he ran on that, part of that was the olympic issue that you saw there, where south korea and north korea got together in the opening ceremonies and for a joint hockey team. >> shepard: what do the north koreans say they want out of this? >> north korea honestly, its unclear, specifically what they want. they say they want security. its unclear what they want...

Why are the media so hesitant to go after the big businesses that are profiting from this garbage? thats a question id like to explore. >> its their donor base and their voter base. they know that theyve lost the gun owners. they know they lost those votes. to attack the gun owners, and especially to protect the video game industry, this iswn their donor base. >> tucker: thats exactly right. thank you. i appreciate and agree with you. >> one last thing, we are teaching the kids that we dont need...

Individual election is a referendum on trump, undoubtedly 2018 will be every midterm election to a certain extent, larger extent referendum on the president. i had you or leland, my colleague had you on the program a couple of months right after republicans failure to repeal and replace obamacare. i understand that you told him that you were feeling, strings of gop appear are the -- apparatus were hurting, i want to know now what the state of play is? >> i think we have generally optimistic a re...

Environment that the president himself bragged about creating. he like the idea that the people who worked for him were sort of independent actors. they were on their own. it was every man and woman for himself. so the idea of translating that culture out of business, which i dont even know businessmen who really buy that, into a political environment where you know how sensitive peoples feelings are. they get hurt very easily. its not going to translate very well for the president. and i think ...

Doesnt seem to understand he was a staffer, not the product. he was the salesman, not the product. the fact that he would go on the record so openly when he shared the donor base with donald trump, did that surprise you at all? >> well, what i think surprised me was bannons willingness to actually put that all on the line. i think that given that he and the president had up to this point sort of charted this course, they were going to create a parallel empire, if you will that would exist outsid...
