a trade deal, he told fox news, as you mentioned, he's going to wait until after the july elections. here is the reason why. shinzo abe is hoping to increase the margin for liberal democratic party in

>> no, i think it is moving toward that, it will demand it, it already is. >> i think the right thing to do is have proceedings, debate between congress and the american people. that is constitutional duty. >> speaker nancy pelosi said if the facts take them to impeachment, they have no choice but to go down the road. efrsight, congressional investigation are their responsibility as cohesive branch of government. they want to be careful not to overreach. there are no plans or time table for impeachment proceedings, this is happening as president trump ignored that politics while in japan. he is criticized 2020 opponent, democrats and the special counsel. listen here. >> pres. trump: mueller report came out, no obstruction, no collusion, no nothing. it is beautiful report. the democrats cannot understand what happened, they really thought they had people on their side. you know, people doing the investigation were 18 extremy angry democrats, many of whom worked for hillary clinton. >> president trump believes impeachment talk, the investigation, all of it should have gone away after the special counsel released their report. >> noteworthy in terms of talking politics, domestic politics while talking overseas. thanks. here is more. >> i do. for more with republican strategist sill vester smith, communication director for mi me huckabee and robin va iro, former obama campaign regional field director. good to have you both. >> thank you for having us. >> i will start with you, let's talk about speaker nancy pelosi, she played a long game and the president, seems he prefers instant gratification. just those two methods, who is more suited to win this clash of the political titans? >> speaker pelosi has been around a long time, that is because she's effective adversary. she knows what she's doing and how to win a battle. however, president trump is not the type of person she's ever had to face before. he is someone that is assertive, he's aggressive, he knows what he wants to how to make it happen. my concern for democrats, they are falling in trump's hand. americans like what the economy is doing holding china accountable for economic wrongs and like the way that jobs are going and like the fact taxes are going down. speaker pelosi better be careful or she'll play impeachment monopoly and end up with a losing hand. >> point, the president has wind at his back. is there more than war of words when the president said i will not work with these people as long as they are investigating me. however, if they are to meet in the middle for the sake of getting the country business done, what first step should the president take and what should the speaker do at this juncture? >> sort of slow the roll with impeachment talks as she's doing, i would say she's probably going further along maybe impeachment inquiry talks and leave it at that. let the voters decide in 2020. >> and robin, i'll get back to you on this. increase president odds in re-election. the president knows this, nancy pelosi knows this, the house will not get enough support in the republican-led senate to sign off impeachment, that is the end of that, silvester, would you say on a level, the president he seems to be trying to provoke the speaker to impeach him. >> why shouldn't he? one of my favorite songs is -- >> you said, why shouldn't he? >> why shouldn't he encourage them to come after him? one of my favorite songs is turn down for what, here, impeach for what? the federal government spent 25 million, 18 lawyers, dozens of investigators looking into this man and administration, what did they find? something we already knew. the saudi arms deal, hush money payments, the list could go on and on and if the tables were turned, i expect republicans to hold us to the same standards. i just want for americans to do for what is best for americans and right now i do not know that impeachment is. i would encourage an inquiry. >> look at 17 democrats standing with speaker pelosi and her position. impeachment is premature. california, the second most senior member of the house judiciary committee to live through two inquiries, at stafford during the nixon years, elijahcummings, central figure in democratic investigations as chairman of the house oversight house and the party's rank and file, they are watching closely for clues. you have congressman khanna, also california, and jeffries, of new york, caucus chairman, and also sits on judiciary committee, jerry connolly, of virginia, member of oversight committee, katy hill, swing district panel and debbie dingell, of michigan, who helped run the messaging arm. they are on pelosi's side. you have the party calling for impeachment. robin, can speaker pelosi coalesce caucus to stave off impeachment? >> i've been a very cosmic critic of speaker pelosi. she is a masterful legislature to tip her hat to. she can coalesce the party around this and slow the roll on impeachment and maybe direct it toward impeachment inquiry. i think it is the best. let americans decide with their votes in 2020, it makes the most common sense. >> robin, again, this all plays into the president's hand, i mean, the old i guess darned if you do, darned if you don't, if democrats lay back, don't turn up and let things go, that some people have problems with and just perhaps if they turn up, as you say, then the president is back in office. you know, how would you handle it if you were speaker pelosi? >> i'm sorry, i'm going to let the other guy get in. >> yeah, you're good. >> i'd love to get in here. what the speaker ought to do, the only way democrats can win, that is if they work on making america better. lay down the weapons of partisanship, pick up the toops of partnership. here i am in arkansas today where the waters are rising, people's lives are in danger. we should be focusing on building crumbling infrastructure, democrats should be working to secure the border. we are the greatest country in the world and we can't keep people from free roaming. >> are democrats not working with the president to secure the border? >> been a concern for a long time. i've reached out to party players in the d.n.c. about that, i've been saying for two years, i was looking forward to talks on infrastructure, i thought that would be easy win for both parties. here we are at empasse. >> leave it there on memorial day weekend. we are all about americans and we are all americans. thanks to both of you. see you soon. >> thank you. >> take care. >> great conversation. president trump in asia, with tough talk for china. what a trade war means for farmers, most importantly your pocketbook. plus, the president touting his relationship with kim jong-un. even as north korea fires off scathing attack on one of the president's cabinet members. what is the end game? >> pres. trump: with nuclear, that will never happen. only bad can happen, he understands that. he is a smart man, he gets it well. this memorial day, start your summer off right in a new chevrolet. oh, wow!! it's time to upgrade. you guys out did yourselves there. i'm gonna go and get a chevy. an exciting summer begins at your chevy dealer. and now, during the chevy memorial day sales event, get 0% financing for 72 months on these select chevy models. or current gm owners can get twenty seven fifty total cash allowance on this traverse. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. what do all these people have in common, limu?oug [ paper rustling ] exactly, nothing. they're completely different people, that's why they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual. they'll only pay for what they need!

most of us at home in our pocket books, gene marks with us, nice to see you. gene, president mentioned we're pulling in tens of millions of dollars worth of tariffs, that money is essentially coming from the u.s. consumer, we begin to feel the pain yet when they go to walmart or target or the local grocery store? >> not exactly yet. it is good to see you. it is tens of billions of dollars. right now it is estimated the u.s. government in 2019 could pull in 40 to 100 billion dollars in extra revenue related to the tariffs. for a government driving up huge deficit and strapped for cash or something, that is a lot of money. that is one reason the president is not in any rush to come to an agreement with china. are we seeing issues in -- >> you say it like that, seems like tariffs are a great thing for the economy. or -- >> i'm not saying it is a great thing for the economy. i'm telling you this much, i'm telling our clients now, mostly small and medium sized businesses, many not affected by the tariffs. the ones that are, you can expect tariffs to continue, even if we see an agreement coming sometime maybe when the president meets with president xi in the next month or so. i don't expect the president to release tariffs, at least not 10% tariffs any time soon, the biggest reason why is enforcement. he has a lot of opponents and people saying come to a deal with china, how do we know china will live up to that? i think the president will say, we will give it a year, that is what i'm predicting. >> one year? >> tariffs continue. >> i speak to a lot of congressmen and foreign states who say they cannot afford another year of reciprocal tariffs back from china. this is how the merp public look at the condition of the economy. excellent good now 47% that is down two points from january 2018. only fair up two points from january. is there a slip in consumer confidence, do you think? >> i'm not saying it, some other consumer confidence surveys i've seen come out, from the university of michigan, showing continued uptick in confidence. on top of that, look at small business confidence. >> the chinese are stealing intellectual property, depending who you talk to. wage growth, this is something the president has continued to tout, 3.2% ninth straight month of 3% growth. have your business clients yet started to price in the possibility some would say a real possibility, depending what polls you look at, democratic president who is going to have different business views, different regulation and different taxes? >> most of my clients i talk to are not yet, whether or not that is mistake or not, you can consider, the feel democratic challengers are, it is so vast right now, most people waiting to shorten up, wage growth is a big deal. health concern going up cost of labor, like paid time off and time off for new parents and other benefits being offered coupled with the fact if you are a small business, finding good people, it is tough. competing against big government. >> my parents are up in north michigan, the state that flipped president trump. they drove up north this spring, there were signs all over, thousand dollar hiring bonuses and finder bonuses for people, finding employees to work, that in and of itself a danger. >> it is. you know, having said that, i come across so many people running businesses, it hasn't sunk in. if you want to compete, you will have to raise your rates, you are paying your people, that is the only way to do it. does that mean increasing prices? that could happen. for some small businesses, added tariffs from trade, all these challenges, as great as the economy is, i have learned we'll have challenges, never going to be perfect environment, that is what we're looking at. >> that is why they have you to hold their hand. gene, always appreciate it. it is good to have you, as always. >> great seeing you, take care. >> now human interest news on this memorial day. talking about a nonprofit that provides free lodging for families of wounded veterans near medical facilities where their loved ones receive treatment. fisher house is expanding to include two new homes here in new york city, near a va medical center. jackie heinrich is live in the new york city newsroom with more on this incredible story. hi. >> hi. provide free lodging for families of military allowing them to be close to their loved ones at the most stressful time they are receiving medical care. the home was gifted from delta airlines, and enterprise rent-a-car. the project cost $15 million and expected to help 12,000 saving up to $3 million. each house has 16 suites with private bathrooms and bedrooms, families share facilities, a place to find community support from other folks sharing the same struggles. the project manager says the new homes are special because they are tudor-style, inspired by architecture in the bronx. something never done before, intended to feel like home away from home for people receiving medical treatment just a short walk away. >> what this means, instead of going to say a regular army hospital or staying in a va hospital, the families can come here for as long as they need to come. they come as a unit, they have places for their children to play and live. they have kitchens for them. >> the two new homes, fisher house is offering -- operating 84 homes in the u.s., u.k. and germany. five more houses are under construction and list of 19 other places where there is recognized need. since the program began in 1990, 360,000 families have been served. >> what a wonderful story, jackie. thank you so much. it is so important to remember the veterans and their families. the sacrifice is equally profound. >> i spent saturday out on the washington maul, next to the vietnam veterans memorial. one thing striking to talk to folks who come back to remember those lost in the war, versus those who come back and remembering those lost during iraq or afghanistan or other places around the world our soldiers are serving. how different the reception has been, in the 1970's, nothing like this even during world war ii. there are programs to help wounded veterans and this real thought about how to focus on gold-star families and remember them, as well. >> not much in the personal impact, we have gone out of our way to say hello and thank you. >> it is sincere thank you. >> it is. >> something vice president mike pence spent the day doing. the vice president is there, the president is traveling. we'll tell you what president trump will do in japan to honor the military on this holiday. ♪ dad: oh, hey guys! mom (on speakerphone): hi! son (on speakerphone): dad, i scored two goals today! dad: oh, that's great! vo: getting to a comfortable retirement doesn't have to be an uncomfortable thought. see how lincoln can help you retire on your terms at lincolnfinancial.com you see clear skin. cosentyx can help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. how sexy are these elbows?

having to greatest economy in american history, rebuilding our military, taking care of our vets, judges, best job numbers and more. dems are obstructionists. ellison barber has more. hi, ellison. >> in capitol hill, a little further down from the white house, but same city, the president is ignoring that old adage that politics stops at the water's edge. the president accused democrats of being obstructionists railing against talk of impeachment and what he sees as a democratic obsession with the russia probe and a desire for a do-over. some lawmakers have signalled their support for impeachment. they, all but one, are democrats and not able to convince nancy pelosi to start impeachment proceedings. representative rasheeda talib, an early advocate removing president trump from office, submitted an impeachment resolution in march. it had one co sponsor then. five more signed on in april. >> it's not about that it's about defending the rule of law in america. it's about establishing that there's some things that you cannot do. >> the right thing to do is to have these proceedings, have the debate before congress and the american people. that's our constitutional duty whether it's good politics or not. >> why do you think you can't convince a majority of house democrats that it's time to impeachment? >> it's moving towards that. it's going to demand it. >> speaker pelosi has not ruled out impeachment but is taking a wait and see approach. they have defended the congressional investigations despite criticism from the white house. they say it's their responsibility to conduct oversight and believe the special counsel wanted congress, not the attorney general, to find an answer when it comes to whether or not president trump obstructed justice. the president, of course, very much disagrees with that. arthel? >> thanks, ellison. >> more on the politics of this. we bring in reporter, phillip wegman. as you talk to your sources inside the administration, how are they looking at this politically? there's a good number of republicans think this is better for the president. the more democrats call for impeachment, the better it is? >> right. it seems both sides are getting what they want. the president wants to paint the democrats as obstructionists. democrats, i think to play to their base, they want to be shown that they're tough on the president. nancy pelosi is not ready to get behind impeachment just yet. they want to make the argument to their base in the next november, 18 months from now, that they're holding his feet to the fire. that tweet from president trump on memorial day superintendents it up. the acrimony is so bad, something like infrastructure, something where republicans and democrats should come together and decide to spend other people's money, even that is off the table. >> shocking. in washington they can always agree on spending our money. now they can't agree on that. we put up on the other side of the 2020 race, the 2020 dems that have come out in favor of impeachment. these are people that are in favor of impeachment. warren, harris. those two people would be voting on impeachment. beto o'rourke, seth moulton, castro, swalwell and messum. any idea in terms of the political calculation on this? is it worth it to them to juice the democratic base for whatever it might cost them should they get to the general? >> they want to be seen as if near firing on all cylinders. it's 18 months between now and the november election. when it comes to impeachment, democrats know that republicans control the senate and this will be a very arduous and difficult process. the calculation here is that if you go down the path of impeachment, if you decide this is an investigative congress rather than a legislative one, you won't prove to voters that you can get things done. right now it seems we're so far past that that not a lot is getting done. so why not make the argument that impeachment is necessary. >> as you talk to some of these campaigns, warren, harris, o'rourke, moulton, the top four on that list, have any of them thought what is our message going to 2020 if we came out in favor of impeachment and it doesn't happen? >> i think that -- that's an incredibly interesting question. the broader perspective here is there's so many candidates running for the democratic nomination right now that they're trying to find anything that can differentiate themselves from the others. it's kind of a little bit of a paradox. when you're running for the presidency, running for the democratic nomination. at the same time, while you're saying your argument is you're the one that can defeat him and if we don't, we'll bring for ward impeachment resolutions. it's interesting. right now we're getting to a point -- there's plenty of time. but we're getting to a point that it seems like very little as possible on capitol hill as far as legislation. >> there is an agreement among democrats about continuing the investigative process. don mcgahn said you're not going to tough and he agreed with that request. now the question of hope hicks. "the new york times" said that she faced a big question whether or not to come testify. any reporting on what is happening behind the scenes of the white house talking to hope hicks? >> i think what is interesting right now, this is very similar to what a lot of former alumni of this administration have gone through. the job doesn't stop when you leave the white house campus. now democrats are interested in doing oversight and pushing hard to get former members in there back to testify. i don't have any new information on whether or not she will or won't testify. i think we're getting to a point -- we saw it where you have the acrimony with president trump and nancy pelosi. two people that had a begrudging respect for each other. that has evaporated and nancy pelosi saying she want trump's own family to host an interventi intervention. trump says she's crazy. where we go from here is anybody's guess. >> not only doesn't your service or liabilities end, your legal bills don't end either. phillip, great conversation. good reporting. watch it on real clear politics.com. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> you know, we've been through this before with our experience. we have come off a flood the last week. it's been very trying for us and our community. i'm going to tell you, the people of el reno are the strongest people i've meet. >> that's the major of el reno, october october. his community picks up pieces after a deadly tornado tore through the reason -- region saturday. arkansas now getting the worst of it today. matt finn will have more on that later. first we go to jeff paul who is live on the ground. jeff? >> yeah, arthel, this community was trying to pick up the pieces after a bad flood came through. now they have to do with this. damages from what officials say is an ef-3 tornado. that's a motel there. the strong winds from the tornado nearly ripping off the entire second floor. that's where the rv park is where the governor here in oklahoma visited. he was on the ground, seeing the damages. two people died and 13 people are still in the hospital. we asked him about his thoughts. take a listen to what he had to say. >> it's unbelievable that, you know, a tornado can do this type of damage. doesn't do it justice when you see it on tv. you get here, see the damage to the vehicles, you know, the 2 x 4s that are driven through different places. the whole roof is gone. it's unbelievable. anybody can survive. >> during his visit here to the site of where this tornado came through, he also got a call from president donald trump when he was out here. he said the president told him that the federal government is there for him, whatever they need. sounds like according to the governor, they're doing okay right now. they have a strong community and starting to put up power poles. they're preparing for what could be a next few days. more storms hitting the area and more flooding and strong winds. arthel? >> let's hope they get a break soon. thanks, jeff. >> no break for those to the east of oklahoma. they're bracing for more rain to come in arkansas. flooding levels near record levels. the ward getting higher as storms come that way. what they're doing there now. and the first 2020 democratic debate is less than a month away. here we are. so what is the plan for the rest of the pack to catch up with joe biden?

can he sustain it? with other democratic candidates, which one of them is most likely to nip at the president's heels? >> front runner is dangerous place to be this early on. one of the reasons he's leading in the race is his name i.d. he has to be close to saturation. he was vice president for eight years. i think he will benefit from that. i think the support is broad but not deep. the democratic primary in 2020 is already a race to the left. there's two campaigns running simultaneously. one is a battle of progressive ideas. benny sanders and elizabeth warren are doing a good job. the other one a ground campaign to identify a coalition of voters that these candidates can put together to win. you know, a lot of them are minority voters like african americans, hispanics, women, anyone that they think they can peel from the vice president, any democratic primary voter that doesn't want an old white man as their standard bearer. some of them will emerge as tier one candidates. >> arthel: and is joe biden out there on name i.d. alone? >> the former vice president has two things going for him. one, his occupying a line that nobody else is occupying. over half of democratic voters are identified as moderate or conservative. so he will do well in iowa, south carolina, nevada, some of the early states. the one thing that unifies all democrats, wanting to make the president a one-term president. he does well in the sense of electability. that's why people are turning to him. >> arthel: given the number of candidates, it's going to dwindle down come the first democratic debate and certainly after that. again, at what point will the democrats need to make a -- maybe vice president make a call to senator harris to discuss an unbeatable ticket. it's early on. so we don't know who will be out front. at some point, you think they'll get together and say this is about winning back the white house? >> i think there's opportunities for disruptions to occur. specifically that debate may shake out a couple of new top tier candidates. i see a situation that this goes to the convention floor. the way the democrats hand out delegates and proportional manner and the fact that there's a lot of people with a lot of money in this campaign. there's going to be some staying power. with that said, i think that if somebody can surprise the campaigns or the country with a better than expected finish in iowa or new hampshire, i think you'll start to see a shake out of a top three to five candidates after the first couple primaries and caucuses. >> arthel: interesting. back to you, chaffin. the president is a fighter. he can pack a political punch against the best of them. so whoever steps in the ring with him has to be strong that said, how much time do you think the democrats have before they can come together meeting of the mind to assess who has the better chance of beating president trump? >> i agree with you. i a see with zach. a lot of candidates have staying power. i don't think anyone will come together and i don't think there will be a meeting of the minds. this is a unique opportunity for democrats running for president. so that's why you see so many people getting in the race. as a republican consultant, joe biden is one of the stronger candidates. i think he will probably wind up being one of the last candidates heading into the convention if he's not the nominee. he's a fighter as well. he's also a fighter. he without try to out-trump trump as elizabeth warren might. people try to out-trump trump but they can't get away with it. biden has the confidence and the record to be able to do that, be able to fight back, punch hard, punch harder than the president without making a fool of himself. he's a dangerous candidate for the republicans. i don't think that's where democratic primary voters are headed, moderate. >> arthel: zach, you get the last word here. it's funny. you think there's going to be a brokered convention and the decision will be made on the floor. i'm reading for colored girls who have considered politics, donna brazile, they're saying the same thing. so you agree with them it seems. >> i do. i think it could be messy. it could be really clean. depends how it works out, a good thing to so many people in the process. as a result, people are invested in their own specific candidate. if biden is the leader going to the floor even though he doesn't have a majority, it's an easy collection. if it's close, we'll see how it plays out. >> thanks, guys. we'll speak to you soon. thank. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> leland: a fox news alert. bill buckner, whose major league baseball spanned 22 years, died today after a long battle with a form of dementia. he played on a number of different teams including 1986 red sox who made to it the world series. he was 69. orlando isn't just the theme park capital of the world, it also has the highest growth in manufacturing jobs in the us. it's a competition for the talent. employees need more than just a paycheck. you definitely want to take advantage of all the benefits you can get. 2/3 of employees said that the workplace is an important source for personal savings and protection solutions. the workplace should be a source of financial security. keeping your people happy is what keeps your people. that's financial wellness. put your employees on a path to financial wellness with prudential. mom, what's for din-ner?

nigel farage's new brexit party. his distracters blame him for the political pickle that britain is in. >> now, arthel, despite britain's fate being tba and despite the fact that these traditional parties have actually been really worn thin and lost their grip on power, it's important to point out that the majority of seats are being held by pro european delegates. in terms of what this matters to folks in the united states that are watching, one italian that follows these things closely, the fact that europe and the european project remains intact is a good thing for washington. the european union is united states's biggest trading partner. europe is america's biggest strategic ally. so a euro crisis would not be to the benefit of the united states now. europe is shaken, arthel. possibly some of these disrupters will in fact make the continent a better, stronger place. >> thanks. breaking it down, amy. thanks very much. >> the president's latest comments in tokyo don't exactly give a lot of hope for a quick resolution to the brewing chinese trade wear and the crushing effects on your 401(k). the dow posted their longest weekly losing streaks since 2011. the president says tariffs on chinese goods could rise "very substantially." with that, we bring in emma, our strategist. thanks for joining us on memorial day. has this started to trickle down to affect every day consumers in terms of the prices they pay? >> you know, as of now, any impact on the consumer is negligible. even president trump's statements today, you know, the chinese communist party spoke back and returned to his statements and said that we would actually be equally hurt roughly the same as they would. that's just to be frank laughable. what the the bigger picture is important to see here is that it's not about, you know, short term, a trade deal that we muddle through and back here in the same position six months down the line where china's committing industrial espionage, cyber theft, stealing hundreds -- >> leland: let's listen to what the president had to say. we'll get your thoughts. >> i believe that we will have a very good deal with china sometime into the future. i don't believe that china can continue to pay these really hundreds of billions in tariffs. i don't believe they can do that. i think there's a very good chance that the united states and china will have a very good trade deal. >> leland: the president talks about how he loves the billions that are coming in. how much of that is going to be absorbed by every day americans, how much will be absorbed by the corporations that are paying to import this stuff? >> here's the thing that we have to understand. when most of the goods that we import from china are competitive. they're just manufacturer's goods. suitcases, chairs. they're not -- the top five exports from china to the united states are also exported from mexico to the united states. these trading -- supply chains can be shifted around. yes, it will take time. >> leland: we're already now hearing about different company trying to think about possibly changing their supply chains as a result of this. something that the chinese are worried about. thanks, emma. enjoy the rest of your memorial day in california. >> thanks for having me. >> leland: all the best. >> arthel: north korea not firing off missiles, but only explosive can comments attacking president trump's national security adviser. the president said he's not worried about kim jong-un. >> he gets it well. so i think that he is going to try at some point -- i'm in no rush at all. the sanctions remain. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. are you in good hands?
