Abe, safe to say, having kittens over the idea United States may levee a tax on vehicles coming out of japan. The president made a decision last week he would suspend that for 180 days, but abe is under pressure to get something done to avoid tariffs. Now the president is confident that they can get a trade deal, he told fox news, as you mentioned, hes 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 the elections in order to change japan passivist constitution and in so doing so, that extra strength may give him more leeway to cut a deal on trade.

Trump i know the Prime Minister and japan have a Good Relationship with iran. Well see what happens. The Prime Minister already spoken to me about that and i do believe that iran would like to talk and if theyd like to talk, we would like to talk also. Well see what happens. Nobody wants to see terrible things happen, especially me. I should correct myself, i said dialogue between u. S. And japan, i meant u. S. And iran. Abe may also meet with kim jongun to get the denuclearization track back on the path the president thought he had it on after they met in singapore. Couple more things the president will do before leaving japan, go back to empirial palace to say fare well and thank you to the new Emperor Naruhito and helicopter 25 miles south of the city to the u.

President trump in japan already Tuesday Morning there, hes firing back on twitter. Democrats maintain city barrage of attacks, including new calls for impeachment, the president tweeting, impeach for what, having created perhaps the greatest economy in our countrys history, best job numbers ever and much more, dems are cob instructi obstruction. The political fight continues. Hi, allison. It never stops. Handful of democrats urged Party Leadership to move ahead with proceedings. Growing number of lawmakers signalled support of it since release of the special counsel report. None of the lawmakers have been able to convince House Speaker nancy pelosi to start impeachment proceedings. Representative Rashida Tlaib had one cosponsor, al green, gained at least five in april. Why do you think you cant convince majority of House Democrats that it is time to impeach him . 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, lets 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 shes effective adversary. She knows what shes doing and how to win a battle. However, President Trump is not the type of person shes ever had to face before. He is someone that is assertive, hes aggressive, he knows what he wants to how to make it happen. My concern for democrats, they are falling in trumps 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 shell 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 shes doing, i would say shes probably going further along maybe impeachment inquiry talks and leave it at that. Let the Voters Decide in 2020. And robin, ill get back to you on this. Increase president odds in reelection. The president knows this, nancy pelosi knows this, the house will not get enough support in the Republicanled 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 shouldnt he . One of my favorite songs is you said, why shouldnt he . Why shouldnt 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 partys 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 pelosis side. You have the party calling for impeachment. Robin, can Speaker Pelosi coalesce caucus to stave off impeachment . Ive 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 dont, if democrats lay back, dont 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 . Im sorry, im going to let the other guy get in. Yeah, youre good. Id 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, peoples 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 cant keep people from free roaming. Are democrats not working with the president to secure the border . Been a concern for a long time. Ive reached out to Party Players in the d. N. C. About that, ive 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 jongun. 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 its time to upgrade. You guys out did yourselves
