Lets face it. The big show is going to be the Supreme Court. And i think also the planned parenthood funding. Some republicans are squishy on that. One other thing he said this morning that will cause concerns on the hill from his party was talking about a border tax, instituting a border tax on companies that ship jobs overseas. Thats something when he talked about that after the election, republicans were running away from that. Majority leader of the house, Kevin Mccarthy warned it could start a trade war. Paul ryan started to distance himself from that saying well worry about doing this in a larger tax reform bill. Trump today made it very clear that he wants to go that route. As president , you do have fairly wide latitude to impose tariffs. Does he carry through with some of those threats . I agree with karen. A lot of stuff is symbolic. We knew tpp was dead. A symbolic move. When we get into details of legislative push on obamacare and Supreme Court nominee and on doing things like the tariff, thats when things will start to really heat up. He hasnt taken any dramatic steps with his own pen so far. There was talk today that might be the day that he starts moving the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem as of this hour it hasnt happened and may not happen today. And we havent seen any action regarding deferred action for childhood arrives. Immigration policy he said he would like to undo. Nervousness among republicans and legislation ready to cover those kids on the hill that might move quickly should he decide to step in and do that. On deferred action for childhood arrivals, he has spoken on both sides of that issue. Interesting to hear priebus suggest yesterday they may not do it through an executive action. He suggested part of a larger immigration effort. Im sure that would upset elements of his base that expect him to take a hard line on that
issue. Its a great point. In the first week, first full week, first full week people are testing because he did say many things that were either contradictory or at odds with his campaign and as he got up to speed on issues. You have Latino Community wondering if hes serious . Will he round them up and kick them out . He said the 1950 operation, wetback, he used that term, no hes not serious about that. Hes sounding tough. Im told and youre right it didnt come today or not yet that the whole week will be executive actions and events built around those executive actions to try to promote the first 100day message and agenda. I think it will be interesting to see how far hes willing to do with some of these executive actions because part of what we know is that the hill only has so much bandwidth to respond to what donald trump has decided to do and create legislation to support. If you put an Expiration Date on dhaka or you try to make these
moves, that has to set the hill into action to move forward with whatever comes next and whatever will replace it. Same with obamacare. What we heard from paul ryan and his conversation with trump was you got to sort of give us one big thing at a time. Thats how the hill works. We cant really juggle every policy priority. Its not how donald trump works. In that vain, john mccain called the tpp a serious mistake to pull out but offers no legislative alternative. That is again the feeling out period we have with the new president who is a republican president but a lot of his ideas, john mccains opposition there across the party. They dont agree with him on trade. They dont agree with him on pulling out of Trade Agreements or on opposing border tariffs. The president himself said he wants to do this country by country and negotiate better deals. The issue is first, lets go back. You saw the president at the top of the show signing the papers. Ive been talking about this for a long time. He has about the transpacific partnership. Bernie sanders moved Hillary Clinton against it. Hillary clinton and donald trump were both against it. Heres how donald trump described it during the campaign. The tpp is a horrible deal. It is a deal that will lead to nothing but trouble. Its a deal that was designed for china to come in as they always do through the backdoor and take advantage of everyone. Now, his critics and proponents of the deal went crazy after that statement because thats not what it was designed to do. It was a coalition of 12 nations designed to Counter China because china is an Economic Force in the region. So now you have australia and japan not happy with this. Its not just republicans in the United States senate or corporate interests here in theUnited States. Our alleies are saying why . If this does not take effect, it could lead to china becoming more powerful and not have the have the opposite impact of what President Trump wants. It will be interesting to see how people like paul ryan respond to this. Paul ryan distanced himself from tpp during the campaign. He was instrumental in passing that legislation that had to pass before enacting tpp. Hes a free trader. How does the rest of the party react . We heard john mccain say because there are those Global Concerns that this could empower china. This has been a moot question for a long time now. This is an argument that President Obama was unable to sell to his own party. Going back and debating the merits of a product that did not sell is sort of, you know, at this point pointless. Ben seth, republican nebraska senator, issued a statement suggesting that. Proponents of free trade failed
to make their argument and they need to regroup. Interesting to see what changes he wants to make to nafta and what other sort of shots across the bow they send to china to warn them they are on different footing with this administration. You mentioned nafta. Thats next for the president. He said it would rip it up during the campaign. Now he says hell renegotiate it. Meetings planned with Prime Minister of canada and president of mexico and will renegotiate it. A kinder, gentle approach. More diplomatic. I think hes handled that one in a way thats turned the temperature down a little bit because it was negotiated in the 1990s. We didnt have so many robots and factories back then. Why not renegotiate. It sounds better to our partners to the North And South than rip it up. Or modernize. That sounds good to people on the hill and friends on k street and everyone can agree that a deal you sign back then maybe Doesnt Translate so well in 2017. Aspirationally. Well see how those conversations go. Everybody sit tight. Up next, the new president makes
the first moves on The World Stage including a chat with israels Prime Minister. Fferent. Nice tells you what you want to hear. But kind is honest. This bar is made with cranberries and almonds. So, guess what . We call it cranberry almond. Give kind a try. When you hit 300,000 miles. Or here, when you walked away without a scratch. Maybe it was all the times it got you safely out there. Or all the times it got you out of there. Maybe it was the day your baby came home. Or maybe the day you realized your baby was not a baby anymore. Every subaru is built to earn your trust.

American families. That blunt talk is all the buzz in global capital. Leaders wonder just what it means when it comes to big economic and security issues. Were getting a few early clues. The president spoke over the weekend with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. They say the new administration will proceed cautiously. Slowly. The question as you mentioned earlier on, this is one of the other areas where hes upending the apple court. What does that mean, slowly and cautiously . There are ramifications of doing this. One is inciting a lot of violence in the middle east, undermining whatever efforts are under way for mid east peace and undermining the United States standing in the region. This is something that they are going to have to proceed cautiously with, and i think this is another example of the difference between what you campaign on and what you govern
on. Word out of israel though is that Prime Minister netanyahu who wants the United States to do this but even he said just be careful how you do this. I want it to be the end result, but lets be careful. The other thing in that regard is what to do about the iran deal that netanyahu so aggressively campaigned for the United States to block and trump suggested that he would rip up right away calling it the worst deal that was ever negotiated but the problem is some members of his cabinet, club general james matis, secretary of defense, suggesting its not so easy to pull out and the deal is being implemented. Campaign on one thing but when realities of governing set in, that changes your approach. Every president goes through that. Candidate trump was so America First. All my decisions we base on America First. How much of a difference will we see . This week is with president may
of the u. K. Shes going to meet with republican lawmakers at their retreat. So theres another one there. He was a big fan of the brexit. She now has a huge challenge getting her country out of the European Union and what she wants from the new president is one thing hes skeptical about, a trade deal. Can he give her what she needs to go home with or will they do that quickly as possible . Issue one is demonstrate that we can pull out of europe but remain the special relations with the United States and well see whether she can get that from him. It is notable that shes meeting with lawmakers. Most of the time World Leaders dont do it in such a way that shes going to philadelphia for that. Its stunning from what he said on friday afternoon through today how much of the world order really just has to be looking at this and going we really dont know what to expect right now. The news he just made in the last hour will undoubtedly be royal markets when they open
again in asia overnight and a lot of those leaders must be really thinking how do we get through to these guys and say is there any chance that we can reopen this . Can we try again . Donald trump would argue that this sort of uncertainty was exactly what he was trying to create. He kept saying over and over, i like to be unpredictable. Here we are. He thinks it helps him in negotiations too. Peop if people are on edge, he thinks it helps him get a better deal. He must feel that way as he goes into conversations with the uk as well. He feels like he has an upper hand because President Obama said they would be sent to the back of the line. Donald trump did not say that in the wake of brexit. He said today im not opposed to negotiating new trade deals. He certainly feels like if he goes into a unilateral trade deal, especially at this moment with the uk, he feels like he has the upper hand and can get a better deal. Did everyone spend the weekend studying the Constitution And The Emolument Clause . This lawsuit filed says donald trump is in violation of the constitution. It says the president is in violation because the constitution prevents the president from coming under the influence of foreign governments. Taking money from foreign governments. The lawsuit argues that because he has his hotels. Because he still has other Business Arrangements around the world and that foreign governments spend money in those hotels or do transactions with his businesses in some way, that he is in violation. Heres how one of the lawyers who helped file the suit, historical reference here, listen to why they explain why donald trump is wrong. He is in violation of the constitution if hes receiving payments from overseas from foreign governments or from corporations controlled by foreign governments and this goes right back to the tent of the founders. What was the point of having a tea party and throwing king georges tea into Boston Harbor if youre going to have a president who is buying and selling tea from king george . Im not smart enough to understand the legal merits of this. I always love references to my hometown and the tea party. Theres a Supreme Court with a bunch of strict constitutionalists on it. You wonder how they might rule. The president says he separated himself from his business. Stories that paperwork on that hasnt been filed. A spokeswoman says he has separated himself from his business. We need to see paperwork filed to confirm thats true. Beyond how this comes out and what the final legal is, we lived through clinton years. We know that having a lawsuit out there means things like depositions. It means having to disclose things. So how the judge the degree to which they let this if they give these guys standing, a lot of people see this as proxy back door to get his taxes. If youre trying to get into foreign payments and the like and you get into the deposition phase, you demand Donald Trumps taxes so the first question is
do they have legal standing . This is the avenue that the liberal groups which are pushing this lawsuit are going to proceed on the courts. Theyre not going to get much action in congress to oversee a lot of things Business Dealings and Conflicts Of Interest and so if they do gain some traction there, it could be potentially problematic because thats really the only effort to have some accountability and recourse against the administration.
