John Berham News Today

Hes in an ini havable position, no? >> without a doubt. hes still in a field of his own. he has this commanding lead over bernie sanders, who quite frankly is in the spiace of his home and everyone else is in single digits. >> that 7 point, remember, mar union of error, plus or minus 6 points. i think it begs the question, john, is this the beginning of a slide or is this just losing some altitude from an announcement balance and this is where he is settling in. >> north of 30% in a three candid...

Coming next week and it seems that his own party is unprepared for that, john. >> thank you as always for your discretion joining me, analyst max boot, author of the conservatism, also seen in senior political analyst david gergen who has been on his share of trips like this one dating back to smooth hollidays. david. look, when push comes to shove do you really think enough republicans would actually go against the president to override a presidential veto? >> yes. i do. i think that this issue...

According to estimates. the cost from tariffs not just on mexico will more than double this year from $414 to $831 per household. thats a big thing, a big costly thing. no one is quite sure whether the president really means to carry it through. not families that have to tighten their belts. not mexico. senate republicans are pushing back. no one knows how seriously to take this very big thing. could all the lies have something to do with that? all right. lets get much more on this, first, lets ...

Earlier today seemed fought prepared, not only in how to detail i guess how all these tariffs will be implemented and put into place, also unprepared to deal with the pushback headed from their fellow republicans, in the words of this one republican official, they must have seen this coming. they should not have been surprised by all of this what is happening, john, republican versus gone along with the presidents tariffs on china so far. theyve seen that as retaliating. they see this as somethi...

Its worth running the rates to see what happens. >> i will say there was movement in both directions that was perceptible. i know we are way in front of what voters actually vote. you can look at trends, your case is a perfect example of that. the last question, the debates start next month. how will this clang the shape and maybe even the size of the race? >> well, this poll we learned that michael bennett, the senator from colorad, seems to be the 20ing person to make the polling threshold to ...

So much blow back he backed off and pre send theed he never considered that idea so you can go either way, either he will implement them or deny he did them in the first place. it will take a psychologist to figure out which is the most right one. i dont think any analyst has the right way of knowing for sure. >> john, very briefly. i think we always assume when trump says something like that its not a bluff. >> that he will get part way along and realize he needs to get out of it. everybody wil...

You have some people raising big concerns, john. >> do you have some sense how hard the president is willing to fight for these tariffs? >> well, that was also indicated during this meeting. its interesting, john, you remember when the president declared that national emergency to use money from other parts of the federal government to pay for his border wall him some of those white house officials earlier today talked about the prospect of the president declaring another national emergency powe...

Republicans rise up and assert principles. but i sense we are very close to that moment. it may not happen here. but i do think its coming. >> i keep looking at my computer. they say the president actually made a statement on twitter. after calling chuck schumer names. he says at the bottom of the tweet about the terror threat, its no bluff, which is so interesting that hes saying this. its no bluff. again it gets to the essence of what we are discussing here, max? do we believe him? im not sure...

Candidate versus candidate clashes outside the debate stage as well, listen, i am a big believer that campaigns matter, candidates matter, this will become engaged and external events can happen and change perceptions. but that number is intriguing. 44%, that only leaves 55% right now who say they may change their mind, john, that are really up for grabs. by the way, if you are a biden or sanders supporter, you feel more exited. they do really well among that segment of the population that says ...
