enemy and eliminating the enemy before those threats can be visited on our shores and the question for the administration is how do we handle that ongoing isis threat? the leader of isis is still there, still tens of thousands of hardened fighters and russia, iran and syria and turkey are not going to be looking after our interest so how do we protect our security going forward? shannon: we have these new sanctions, the president saying tariffs hiking up on goods, sitting down trade talks, he says they are taking serious steps but the biggest warning is you better not let the isis prisoners escape but who can we expect to keep an eye on them in that region? >> that is a good question to ask which the american people should be asking. i don't like the idea of the left-leaning media and establishment conservatives creating this war chant, we've
catastrophic medicare expenses. it would also in the negotiation not only be for medicare, but for all, and it would have an inflation that reverses years of increases. so we're very pleased with the work that has gone into it so far by our three chairmen, frank pallone of energy and commerce, richie neil of ways and means and bobby scott of education workforce and many members as well. we will be discussing this again over the break and the district work period when we return. at the same time we are making progress on the u.s./mexico/canada trade agreement. this is an issue of concern around the country. we want to be sure that as we go forward, we are protecting, strengthening america's working families and our farmers who are very affected by this. this is not about trickle-down trade. we're not trickle-down economics people, we're not trickle-down
house. one for -- views in the white house. one for tracking down trade and people like gary cohn who were trying to persuade the president not to go down the road. the president is going down this road and gary cohn is out the door as a result of that, wolf. >> gary cohn came could work from goldman sachs. stand by. we'll get back to you. i want to bring in kaitlan collins. she is working the story for us. you are getting more information. what else are you learning? >> we are learning more about the details surrounding the departure. it is something that people saw coming for some time. they knew that gary cohn's departure was imminent officver next year in the white house. we are learning he did inform president trump he would leave the white house over the last 24 hours and that comes amid the fight over tariffs that the president announced at the last minute last week against the advice of gary cohn. the president was actually frustrated with gary this week
more so by libya. obama took the military option off the table and kim jong un knew that. and put it back on the table. the recount generation is taking place and that is why china is complicit with the united states requests that all nations have got to shut down trade. china has agreed to that. that is never happened before. this friend of trump using military action is in the head of president xi in the head of kim jong un. we'll see what happens. >> great point. if you want to get anything done diplomatically or three states like china. thank you for your time. appreciate it.
he says i think we'll end up terminating nafta. you believe it's going to happen or you say he says stuff like that all the time and start ignoring the united states of america and the president. >> it would be a tough day to be the american negotiator in the talks. there's a story in the wall street journal, the world now is growing at over 3.5%. the united states is not growing close to that. and again, it feeds into what we've been talking about. the world is learning to get along without us. we've opted out of tpp. we may opt out of nafta. i don't know if it's a bluff. if we don't set an example, we lose influence. if we don't start passing things like tax reform and infrastructure building, we're shutting down trade and immigration. we're losing the engines of economic growth. we're not going to have the resources to play the sort of role we've historically played. we're going to end up with the america -- not so much america first. we're going to end up with america only.
