You know, nobody wins a trade war. look, im actually in favor of getting tough trade with china. and i would be in favor of using trade as a weapon against china. i think china is a danger to the world. theyve enabled north korea. in this case, did you know, anderson, we import most of the steel from? canada. and canada is not an enemy of the united states. i dont think it makes sense. on maxs point, look, we agree, max, on the economics. no question about it. i campaigned with donald trump. i w...

Trump than i did with obama and bush, trade. i think free trade has been a loser, i voted against nafta back in 1994. and if he comes up with a really good trade position were not going to just necessarily say no but were going to hold his feet to the fire and i can assure you of this -- anything were going to support will get almost no republican votes. that may mean we support them on nothing. but were not going to sacrifice our principles for the sake of compromise. >> but a unified party lin...

Good trade position were not going to just necessarily say no but were going to hold his feet to the fire and i can assure you of this -- anything were going to support will get almost no republican votes. that may mean we support them on nothing. but e not going to sacrifice our principles for the sake of compromise. >> but a unified party line vote at this point accomplishes nothing. i mean, can the democrats do anything alone? >> right now -- >> we cant do anything alone, but if its really po...

Boeing and lockheed. think about the business they do with the federal government. think about the business boeing for one does with a nation like china. how much of their inventory comes right off the line in everett, washington, and goes overseas? >> quite a lot and boeing would be greatly affected if we got into a kind of economic trade war with china which is something that seems totally plausible under donald trump. we just saw an appointment today to a key trade position where trump put in...

To a key trade position where trump put in an advocate of essentially economic confrontation with china and when it comes to boeing, by the way, brian, remember that boeing has struck a deal to sell a bunch of its biggest planes to iran and theres strong opposition to that in congress and for a guy like donald trump who is a hawk on iran, not clear whether that deal is going to be able to go through so these big aerospace companies are definitely caught up in geopolitics and the future is unpred...

High level starting tuesday. four days ago. whether or not a deal could have been crammed in this short period of time, comments or not, you know, some might say that was too short a window. >> yeah, its a little weird. thanks, blake. again, before i go to the markets, the president has a very legitimate point. off the record comments are supposed to stay off the record. for the shock and surprise were getting from our friends north of the border and their fine products, the fact of the matter i...
