A life of privilege. what youre seeing from joe biden is joe biden looking at him and there is a little bit of a privilege thing, a class war going on. >> and biden is saying hes the real deal, right? hes the real working class guy which is why obama wanted him on that ticket. he could talk to the working class white voters. >> lets talk about this move that is coming here shortly from the white house, where were expecting tariffs on chinese goods. amid -- the reaction that were seeing from chin...

>> when we see -- those in the administration they are brought in for various talents i think garry coen has been a part of helping us with tax reform. which we see has been very successful and got the country moving in the right direction. obviously, it is a difference of opinion on trade issues. that may be something the president needs to look at another advisor that more fits what he believes that we should be doing. he said he would make america first and thats what he is doing this in deal...

Take bumper sticker level attack on the world trading system that might stir up election rallies, but it is terrible policy and throwing it out there without having done enough work with our allies and industry and partners around the world. the tariffs that the president is threatening to slap onto imported steel and aluminum will principally affect some of our core and vital allies. canada, south korea, some of our european allies. rather than principally affecting china, which is the country ...

Regard? was this a good idea? >> frankly the president didnt do his homework on this one and this is what happens when you take bumper sticker level attack on the world trading system that might stir up election rallies, but it is terrible policy and throwing it out there without having done enough work with our allies and industry and partners around the world. the tariffs that the president is threatening to slap onto imported steel and aluminum will principally affect some of our core and vit...

Havent seen their wages increase since the beginning of the 2000s and who actually think donald trump cares about trade issues and making it more equitable. >> there are 130,000 americans working in the steel industry. that matters. but these tariffs are going to hurt companies that employ more than 6 million people. these are true statements. to eli stokles, do they matter, because those 140,000 americans are die-hard trump supporters. and they are hurt. and he does speak to them. president tru...

Executives who were quickly ushered over to the white house overnight will now instead of being present for a major announcement on steel and aluminum trade tariffs will instead be participating in a listening session behind closed doors with the president and the commerce secretary wilbur ross. a lot of this still in flux. it is unclear why the president did want to make this sudden announcement on steel and aluminum tariffs or to at least speed up that process. but, of course, we know that in ...

Worse punishment than being chief of staff to donald trump, mission impossible. many people would say, including a lot of the ex-white house chiefs. its almost as though we need a new vocabulary to describe whats going on. chaos and dysfunction dont begin to cut it here. and, of course, john kelly was supposed to be the grown up in the room, the guy who fixed the west wing, who made it more efficient, made the trains run on time. the trains are off the track, so kelly is really failed in his own...
