Brexit, if we crash out of europe, trump and his advisers think they can get a u.s./uk trade deal not because they want to be nice to us because they can use it as leverage to get the terms they want. >> and scott, just pointing out, we do not have that reporting about the office thats allegedly been set up there in the united kingdom. but certainly steve bannon has been vocal about his candidates across europe. theresa may, youll remember these comments that president trump made the day that sh...

>> no. mexico really doesnt appear to have much leverage. they are trying to convince the u.s. that this is a bad idea not just for mexico but for the united states economy and they are making a full-court press this week. at least three cabinet mexican secretaries are part of a much larger delegation, mexican officials traveling to washington are already in washington, and they will make their case saying that this will hurt mexico which will lead to more immigration from mexico to the u.s. and...

Its time for trade. is he using trade as leverage on immigration. jedediah: some are worried about the implication. my point is that the economy is such a strong point for trump 2020 im concerned about his potential jeopardizing of that in an effort to secure the border. thats a legitimate concern some have. i do understand why is he doing it. he feels backed into a corner and he has no other option and he wants to address this humanitarian crisis that the democrats have ignored for quite some t...

Specifically said, its on congress now to continue -- after he put this report forward, that clearly indicated that there is potential corruption and obstruction of justice. this president is not above the law. he should not be able to stop the checks and balances on the executive. i feel like we have a moral obligation now to investigate this president. impeachment proceedings will give us more legal leverage to be able to get the information congress needs to get to the bottom of what his admi...

Anniversary of d-day at normandy with other european leaders. arthel: garrett tenny, thank you very much. eric: meanwhile in washington, the controversy continues over special counsel robert muellers first public remarks on whether or not president trump obstructed justice in the russia investigation. as you know, mr. mueller left that up in the air, and the result is a democratic party leadership that is divided on the potential of impeachment proceedings. >> and i feel like we have a moral obl...

With a foreign adversary to undermine your election. as mueller said, it points to obstruction of justice. the president of the united states is not above the law. hes not a dictator in chief. this constitution was designed with checks and balances and hes refusing to let them happen because hes refusing to comply with legitimate inquiry. thats why i call for us to begin impeachment proceedings so we have more leverage to expose the truth. mueller did what he has to do. its time for congress to ...

Right now waev rr announced a lot off layoffs before any of this happened. most trade we have with china is whats called intra party trade. youre going to raise costs for manufacturers who are based in the united states, who need to buy stuff from across the border often times from their own companies and its going to raise costs for them. theyre probably go having to layoffs and beyond all off that, it gives us a lot less negotiating leverage with china, japan w the eu. with mexico efor that ma...

U.s. blaming mexico is a distraction that lets democrats off the hook. do you think they can come together to tighten up the asylum laws as the president has called for? >> only if it becomes beneficial politically to the democrats. i know thats cynical, but thats really -- if they see they have the leverage on this right now, they are not going to budge because they havent so far. they dont get a lot of pressure from anybody on this issue, on capitol hill. they get a complete pass. in fact, the...

Relief. they went home without it. initially he fired his chief negotiator envoy who had been in the white house and now its reported he has indeed killed him. the reason hes done that is because it was a failure from their perspective. he came home and strong elites around them and nothing to show for it and thats why weve seen this systemic and quite deliberate escalation of weapons fire from anti-tank weapons to smaller rockets to larger rockets, small missiles to now a ballistic missile. tha...

Own company, and its going to raise costs for them. theyre probably going to have layoffs. and beyond all of that, i mean, it gives us a lot less negotiating leverage with china, with japan, with the eu. with mexico for that matter. because trump has shown time and time again that he cant be trusted to keep his word. he just signed a deal with mexico. >> does he understand how tariffs work? >> you know, i go back and forth on this. and i dont know. i know that it has been explained to him that a...
