is this payback for the '80s and for when that happened, or do you really think this will rejuvenate the steel industry? we keep hearing how automation is the big threat to jobs? >> you can never get rid of people in the industry. you're going to have some automation, but when it comes to people using their mind, solving problems and these hands right here, you can't get rid of people. that will never happen completely. that's not true. i'm going to tell you, you're going to see a major impact in all the -- u.s. steel is going to fill it. they'll get some reprieve from the dumping and be able to sit back and take a different look to run their business and hopefully, with that being said, there will be some opportunity for united steelworkers in the process when we sit down at the table next time. >> scott and herman sauritch, great to see both of you guys.

thanks for sharing your personal story with us. >> thanks for having us. >> andi'll be 7 next month, i'l keep working at the gym. >> i want to thank wilbur ross for what he did for us. >> glad you got that message out. we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> president trump trump said he'd meet kim jong un by may. >> this is unprecedented, historic. >> i'm always a fan of diplomacy. >> we've been banging our head against the wall for 25 years. let's try something different. >> this was a hail mary pass and president trump caught it. >> you don't have steel, you don't have a country. >> i actually think there is a

better way to address unfair trade practices. >> the process is evolving. >> tariff hikes are prosperity killers. they always have been and always will be. >> this is "new day" can chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> good morning. welcome to your "new day." it's friday, march 9th, 8:00 in the east. president trump accepted kind of spontaneously this invitation from north korean leader kim jong un for a face-to-face meeting. this would certainly be historic, because it would be the first time a sitting u.s. president would meet with the leader of this isolated regime. >> the south koreans applauding that development, but pushing back on another, they're also requesting an exemption from the stiff new tariffs on steel and aluminum the president put in place despite strong opposition from republican leaders who say they're worried about starting a trade war. first let's go to cnn's will ripley live in seoul, south

korea, with this huge development. will? >> reporter: they are exuberant about this in south korea. in the united states there's cautious optimism and a lot of skepticism. there's still a lot of things we don't know. for one, where will this be happen? chinese government dodging our questions whether they will play host as they did for the six-party talks. what exactly can they accomplish? one thing we know for sure, over the next two months, kim jong un is going to do two things he's never done before, meet with the president of south korea and do something his father and grandfather wanted to do but never could, sit down face-to-face with the president of the united states. >> he expressed his eagerness to meet president trump as soon as possible. >> reporter: president trump agreeing to meet with north korean leader kim jong un within the next two months, setting the stage for an unprecedented

encounter between the leaders of two countries who just last ye were exchanging threats of nuclear annihilation. >> they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> reporter: north korea responding by calling president trump a doter, old and senile, threatening the u.s. territory of guam and creating repeated nuclear and missile tests. but now an apparent breakthrough. >> north carolina leader kim jong un says he's committed to denuclearization. kim pledged that north korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests. >> reporter: in addition to suspending their weapons testing, kim jong un also accepts the joint military exercises between south korea and the united states. president trump expressing

optimism about the possibility of denuclearization, but stressing economic sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. south korea calling the meeting miraculous. noting north korea has made these types of promises repeatedly, accused by the u.s. of cheating on previous deals. victor cha recently dropped for consideration as u.s. ambassador to south korea warns while the summit provides unique opportunities, its failure could push the two countries to the brink of war. the surprise announcement coming after mr. trump popped into the white house briefing room to ooh tease the news, catching white house and pentagon staffers off guard. earlier in the day secretary of state rex tillerson sent on a trip to africa said this about the prospect of talks. >> we're a long ways from negotiations. i think we just need to be very clear-eyed and realistic about it. >> reporter: the south korean

delegation delivering north korea's request to the white house after meeting with kim jung june in pyongyang earlier this week. in a four-hour dinner meeting he treated officials to multiple bottles of local alcohol and cracked jokes about early morning missile launches and his image outside north korea. i can tell you after three years and 20 trips to pyongyang i have many conversations with north koreans who have said all along his strategy was to grow the nuclear table, sit down at the table from a position of strength not weakness. there are sanctions getting increasingly crippling and difficult, kim jong-un is getting the optics of sitting down at the table as equals face-to-face with the president of the united states, in this case donald trump. chris? >> will, appreciate it. you're in the right place at the right time. let's dig deeper with cnn

political and national security analyst david sanger and former ambassador to the u.n. governor bill richardson. good to have you on the show. let's start with you, governor, do you see this as a potential opportunity for progress or are you just overwhelmed by the concerns? >> well, i'm overwhelmed by what is happening. in the many years, the eight trips i've taken to north korea, this is unorthodox and unprecede unprecedented, but i'm an optimi optimist. this has never happened before. i don't think we're going to get an absolute goal of denuclearization. i think the president needs to temper that. but i'm opposed to 95% of what the president does on foreign policy. on this one i'm supporting him. it's risky. we've got to be properly prepared and we cannot underestimate kim jong un. he's evolving into a strategic

thinker, into a man with an end game. what we don't want to do is get trapped in a situation, a high-level negotiation where we're not prepared, where we don't have our best negotiators forward. at the very least the president should tell his secretary of state what he's doing. so i'm concerned, yet at the same time hopeful. >> what the governor is referring to, david, is this took rex tillerson by surprise. it took everyone by surprise because the president hadn't planned to do it, hadn't even planned to meet with the south korean delegation that was at the white house. they popped in. they made this overture, he accepted it on the fly and here we are. how do you see it? >> alisyn, as the gov floor has suggested this is happening in the reverse of the way these things normally would. he would normally conduct a negotiation at a lower level, begin to work out what it was that you were trying to achieve, what steps the north koreans would take toward

denuclearization. the most important question, how you would verify it, a particularly difficult issue when it came to north korea and hold out the meeting between presidents as the thing you would do at the end, the capstone. as with many things with the trump presidency, this one is going backwards. it comes because we've got two leaders who are supremely confident in their own capability to negotiate a dielman to man and come out on top. in this case as the governor suggested, that could work. we've never tried this in the years since the armistice took place in 1952. on the other land, if it fails, then both sides have sort of got their backs up and you could be into a bad spiral. my guess is the north koreans have no interest in ever fully denuclearizing, as the governor and i have talked about before,

because this is the one last protection this country has. >> first we have this fact issue of the notion that this this is where the administration has been heading all along. let's just play what rex tillerson said about this. remember, he got called out saying we're nowhere near diplomatic talks and then on the same day trump accepted the invitation. here is what he said. >> in terms of the decision to engage between president trump and kim jong un, that's a position the president took himself. i spoke to him very early this morning about that decision, and we had a good conversation. this is something that he's had on his mind for quite some time. >> maybe this is too fine a point, gov, but you tell me. it seems like people like you and david who have experience with foreign politics say you don't just jump into opportunities like this, how you plan for it matters, what's the

thinking as you get into it. it matters as much as the unto itself. the other side is going to stop with all your politics, it's good it's happening, he made it happen, bravo to him. where are you on this? >> i'm on the side of the big gamble. the north korean situation, the tension in the peninsula has been so intense, this is the worst state of u.s.-north korea relations, that you almost need a hail mary pass. you need a home run thrown into the mix. the risks are exactly that, there is not adequate preparation by our military and our negotiators. i think the very first step, obviously rex tillerson is trying to recover from not being consulted, is give tillerson and our military some instructions. development a co-heesht strategy. at the first meeting you're not going to make a huge deal on

denuclearization, but you may get some kind of a freeze on missile development affecting the united states or guam, alaska, some kind of deal that ease z the tension with the koreas in terms of artillery, conventional weapons, some kind of positive steps. i think we need to get three americans out from north korea. they're there. we need to recover the remains of our soldiers from the korean war, some soft power steps before the two big guns meet in two months, but there's not much time and the north korean and south korean president also are meeting before the president. so maybe we have a little cover to get something done substantially before the two leaders meet. but you're not going to make a final deal with the two leaders. it's going to take years and it's going to cost a lot. the agreed framework president

clinton negotiated in exchange for north korea halting their nuclear development was energy, food, economic assistance, end of sanctions. if there is a next deal, it's going to be 15 times as costly, but it may be worth it because this is a country that may have plenty of nuclear weapons. they've got 2 million men in arms. they've got missiles. i think this is big stakes, a big gamble, but i'm supporting the president's effort to do it, just be careful and don't tweet. don't tweet. just stay low. >> there's some advice for the president. but that's really fascinating, governor, to hear all that context. david, if all those things ha the governor just laid out are not hammered out beforehand, should the president still do this and roll the dice? >> this is a president who is probably not going to sit around for the details because he's convinced he can go do this. my guess is, at this point having said he'll go ahead with

the meeting, he'll probably go af head with the meeting unless some crisis emerges in between. as the governor suggests, this is really going to be cramming for the exam for this administration because they don't have a north korea deep bench right now. in fact, it was just last week that their most senior representative for north korea, somebody who knew the place really well, just resigned from the state department. it's not even clear who will be negotiating this whole thing out. these things usually take a good deal of time. i think the thing that -- to think about the hardest, how would you verify it. it's easy to verify that tests aren't taking place. we can see it, we know when a nuclear test goes off. as the governor suggests there are at least probably 20 nuclear weapons. by the lights of some american intelligence agencies, there may be up to 60. if you don't foe how many there are, you really don't know where to inspect in an incredibly

mountainous place. you're going to have to think ahead of how to get inspectors into every corner of the country. when you think about the president's critiques of the iran deal, it didn't go far enough, iran didn't have nuclear weapons. this is going to be infinitely more complex than the iran deal was. >> david sanger, governor bill richardson, thank you for your expertise. president trump unmoved by the talk of possible trade war by some of his republican allies. will the risky tariffs boost american industry? our analysts are here next.

t. rowe price. invest with confidence. . a defiant president trump ignoring establishment republicans concerned about starting a trade war. it's republicans on the political side but also about every economist that takes a look at these issues. tariffs the president put on steel and aluminum imports are of grave concern in terms of helping workers in this country and what it will mean in terms of retaliation around the world including from our allies. it's a move that's already cost him his top economic adviser. what else will it do? let's bring in chris cillizza and ron brownstein. so chris cillizza, is the simple analysis here as obvious as he wanted to win, he wanted a big

move, he said he would do it, these other people don't know what they're talking about, i'm doing it? >> in terms of trade policy, this is the one area throughout donald trump's professional career, business and real estate investor and now in politics that you can say he's sort of consistent on this. he is very skeptical of these large scale international trade deals. he views -- he ran as we need to protect the american workers. i think he was going to do it. i think gary cohn got in front of that. he thought he might be able to stop it and couldn't. remember, trump likes doing things that people say either have never been done before or can't be done or shouldn't be done. those are the three things he likes doing. this fits most of those.

>> ron, i totally get he's been against deals, he thinks the, woulders are being taken advantage of. it's easy to say and tough to fix. he hasn't done anything to negotiate a new deal except what's going on with mexico and canada. that seems to undermine his national security threshold for putting these sanctions and these tariffs in place. it's interesting. while the gop has come out and said we don't like this, they haven't said they're going to do anything about it. people have to remember, the president only has this power because congress gave it to him. they could take it away. do you think there's any chance of that? what is the political fallout from this? >> first of all, i agree with chris, this is a consistent note for thement throughout his career. we're r ear learning this reenforces two broader trulgts we know about him, one process, one substantive. he negotiates like a hostage taker. he takes a hostage and then demands concessions in return

for it. that's what he's turned this into in terms of canada and mexico by temporarily exempting them from the tariffs and threatening to reimpose them later if they don't make concessions on nafta, exactly what he did with the deferred action program, demanding the democrats give concessions on legal immigration to get it back. second, this reminds us of how much of his economic vision is fundamentally backward looking. it's about reviving industries that have been important contributors to the american economy but whose biggest contributions are in the past. steel, aluminum employment, we're down to a thin sliver of the economy. the risk by imposing these tariffs, you affect a broad range of occupations that create more jobs. the retrospective done on the bush steel tariffs, where it cost 200,000 more jobs than they created because of all the downstream effects on other industries, and there are similar estimates here. what's striking to me, chris, real quick, while republicans are resisting this, where are

the democrats? 60% of all the exports in the country come from the counties that hillary clinton won. they are the party now -- >> they're in a box, ron. >> they're silent. >> they're in a box. as we know, democrats are not by definition against doing something to balance the playing field for american workers. but they don't want to come out in favor of this because they're anti trump. >> in fact, this is against -- if you look at who is actually voting for democrats at this point, they are overwhelmingly the party of metro america which is globally connected, moving into the information age. hillary clinton's counties were one-sixth of all the counties in the country, they account for 60% of our exports according to the brookings institution. apart from terry mcauliffe in "the new york times," the only democrats who have spoken of this have favored it, the rust belt democrats. you wonder if they're steering

through the rear view mirror when they used to be the party of the industrial collar midwest. now they're the party of white collar metro america. jeff flake says he is planning legislation to overturn this. hard to see how that gets the 60 votes however. >> you're shaking your head, chris. >> very quickly, one of the reasons this was a safe thing for republicans in congress to oppose is because they don't effectively have to do anything. they can say we think this is bad. we want to be -- >> if it goes badly, they can say, well we did say it was bad. >> they have a hedge. no question about it. what i don't get is, if the president wants to help this group of workers, why doesn't he deal with the truth of the realities. the automation is the big factor on why our manufacturing business has changed. if he wants to use ufrmt s. steel, he could do something.

his infrastructure bill, he could say every dollar of materials must go to american companies that make aluminum and steel. he could do that and help them more directly than he is with these tariffs. >> i think that ron hits it exactly right when he talks about the world and america specifically that donald trump envisions going back to is not one that exists. i was struck the exact same thing, he was talking about russian meddling earlier in the week. he said we've got a foolproof solution, paper ballots. we'll get paper ballots. what he's talking about there is, we'll have paper ballots so they can't hack into the electronic -- that doesn't deal with social media persuasion, all the other -- the vast ways in which the internet -- because he does not live in that world.

he lives in a world that is very much sort of '50s steel, make america great. look at all the presidents he cited yesterday, by the way. mckinley. roosevelt i think was the most recent one. that's to ron's point. it tells you the kind of america he envisions and thinks he can create. my guess is because of automation, technology, the web, you're not going to be able to do that no matter what you do policiwi policiwise. >> everybody around trump on the political side says he needs to grow from the base that got him elected. he can't get out of the 30s if he keeps denying the realities of the 21st century. ron and chris, thank you very much. former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski grilled by the house intel committee. he says he answered, quote, relevant questions. democrats disagree, want him subpoenaed. a member of the committee joins

former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski says he answered all relevant questions for the house intel committee on thursday. the top democrat on the committee disagrees. let's discuss with democratic congressman mike quigley of illinois, a member of the house intel committee. good to have you, sir. what do you believe corey lewandowski should talk about that he refused to? >> well, at least three questions he wouldn't answer, his conversations with the president about firing director comey, the meeting at trump tower and the potential firing or attempts to fire inspector mueller. so those are pretty pertinent. it's hard to imagine a criminal trial in which witnesses get to provide lists of questions provided by someone else that we can or can't answer. that's what happened with mr. bannon. that's what happened yesterday with mr. lewandowski. >> what was his basis for not

answering? >> it wasn't pertinent. unfortunately, unlike a trial, there's no impartial judge telling that person whether or not they have to answer that question. it's clearly up to the republicans, and they're taking a side out on this one. they're letting witnesses decide what they will and won't answer. >> when you asked the question, he said i don't think that question is pertinent to your investigation, or did he say i don't know anything about that? >> that's exactly what his attorney said. >> lewandowski didn't say anything about whether he knew anything about those things or not, this is his lawyer saying it's not pertinent and that was that? >> i think some of them were my colleag colleagues' questions. i think it was specifically conversations he had with the president of the united states about those events. that is pretty pertinent, or anything else related to that. in honesty he answered a lot of

questions. witnesses who were with us for so many hours answer a lot of questions. but the reason there's so many questions is, if someone isn't answering to the core, you have to beat around the bush and ask every other possible question to try to get a glimmer of the truth. when that doesn't happen, everybody gets frustrated. >> what's the chance of a subpoena? >> the only subpoena i've seen them lay in this kind of situation is with mr. bannon, and it was after the alabama race and it was after he came back. they laid a subpoena on bannon because i guess they got the okay to do so from the white house. but even after that, mr. ban flon came back and still refused to answer questions. he provided us a list of questions under direct orders from the white house that he would answer. the answer would only be in one

word, no. >> i don't want to skip over something that's of significant implication. you really believe your republican colleagues on that panel out size of nun necessaes working with the white house in terms of how to dump the investigation. >> i have a great respect for mr. conway, i think he's trying really hard to try to get to the truth. i think there's a higher power there, the chairman of the full committee working with the white house. i do believe there are others on the committee who take their orders down the street from the white house instead of being a separate but equal power trying to do an independent investigation. >> but conway says it's about ready to end this deal within the house intel committee. >> i think he's probably talking about the parameters that were within. that's unfortunate because we haven't even touched on money laundering. we've heard about subpoenas laid on deutsche bank who was fined

$610 million for their role in money laundering with the russians and they're one of the major financiers of trump financial world. we haven't even touched on that, or pete are smith or several other witnesses who refuse to answer questions. i think mr. conway is probably answering given the handcuffs that have been placed on himself and i think the entire investigation. >> one thing that you are dealing with that you find interesting, certainly on the democrat side of the investigation is this meeting in the seychelles that involved a man named erik prince, the founder of blackwater, former navy s.e.a.l. here is what congressman eric swalwell said about mr. prince. it's a full screen. i'll read it. during his russia investigation interview mr. prince was asked directly by me and mr. schiff who he met with while he was in the seychelles. he never gave the name george

nader. if he met with george nader, he lied under oath. mr. prince, from his perspective, they describe this differently, that you asked did he have any employees or anything with him and he didn't mention nader. nader had worked with him as a one-off, an independent contractor and he didn't consider him an employee. what do you think the truth of the situation is and why do you care so much about this meeting? >> first, that transcript i believe is publicly available, so people can decide for themselves. if there's any question, let's bring him back because this is pretty important. let's just understand that this is a gentleman who wants to privatize our wars. he was part of a dark chapter in american history with blackwater and he's writing part of a second dark chapter in american history. the fact is he says he traveled all the way to the middle of the indian ocean to have a meeting with the uae where he used to live there.

why not meet anyplace else? by the way, down at the end of the bar there's this mr. dimitry medvedev who is the head of a russian golf controlled firm under sanctions by the united states of america. he happens to be here in the seychelles. i think he was already misleading. he wouldn't answer my questions about his past financial dealings with the uae. now we hear, by the way, there's this other guy there who we believe is trying to set up back channels with the kremlin joining mr. kushner's efforts to set up back channels with the kremlin. so these are important questions. if we're going to try to find out, mike morrell said this was the political equivalent of 9/11. if we're letting the white house and members of the intel committee get in the way of trying to find out that truth, it's probably our own fault for

letting it happen. we're going to do our best to make sure it doesn't. >> you've got the people on the left saying something like that. you've got people on the right who say this investigation is the equivalent of geraldo looking for the vault. that's why the answers so important. the facts are what would set all of us free. congressman, thank you for being with us. >> 17 entities on intel say it happened. >> there's no question the interference happened, but it's who helped, did anybody help, what is the connection to the trump organization, if any. those are the facts i'm talking about. thank you for joining us, congressman. we look forward to what you develop. >> thank you. we have brand new jobs numbers that were just released by the labor department. we're going to get a take on those and what it will mean for the white house. christine romans next. what's going on here? i'm babysitting. that'll be $50 bucks.

jobs, jobs, jobs. breaking news. the labor department releasing the jobs report for february just moments ago. chief business correspondent christine romans is here with the numbers. what do we see? >> a big report here. 313 net new jobs created in the month, and the prior two months were revised higher by about 159,000 new jobs. so a really strong performance at the beginning of the year. that's the best job creation since i think june 2016. so the best job creation in some time here. the unemployment rate, though, stayed steady, near a 17-year low, 4.1%. why did it stay sed difficult, why didn't that come down? because people came into the labor market. people are hearing there are jobs again and coming back in. that unemployment rate stayed steady. sectors across the board from construction, mining, manufacturing, retail, health care.

a lot of good job creation there. so that was good here overall. futures are higher. the stock market likes this. why does the stock market like it? wages were only up 2.6%. you don't see this strong job market reflected in paychecks yet. wall street investors love that. you have a report that shows strong job creation, but the wages were a little lighter than expectations. >> christine romans, appreciate the context. thank you very much. next week we've got a big deal for you. we'll reveal our first cnn hero of 2018. but before we do, we have an update on last year's hero of the year, amy wright. you heb her. she was honored for opening a coffee shop that employs people with disabilities. now she has expanded her mission. take a look. >> the 2017 cnn hero of the year is amy wright! >> oh, my gosh, i cannot believe

this. >> incredible night. two months later amy has opened a second coffee shop, this one in charleston, south carolina. for most of these 17 new employees, this is their first job. >> people with intellectual disabilities are values, and so this coffee shop has created a place where people see their value. >> wow. >> great for her. watch anderson's full update or nominate someone you think should be a cnn hero. go to cnnheroes.com. when we come back, a tumultuous week at the white house but topped by a big moment for this president and maybe for the country. can the president do what he has not done to date which is change the narrative, stay positive and not get in his own way of success?

crazy week, wasn't it? started with sam nunberg, we end with an unprecedented invitation to meet with the north korean leader. monday former trump campaign aide nunberg gave a series of interviews that made people question, and rightly so, his state of mind. he's stepped away. probably the best thing for him and his family. then you had the gary cohn, the economic adviser resigning. then you have all this new intrigue in stormy daniels, and who knows what really comes out in the courts. the court of public opinion has been ratcheted up. the next day the tariffs roll out and all the confusion around it and the weak justification for it in terms of national security. and then here on friday, the president agrees to meet with north korea's kim jong un. let's get "the bottom line" from

cnn political director david chalian. i wonder what this means. you can't control the nunberg thing, that was an x factor. he popped up on his own. what does this mean? is this a reflection of just the new normal, or is this about how situations are managed? >> i think it's a reflection of the president as well and how he works. just looking at the title of that graphic you just put up, white house's tumultuous week, i feel like we can have that as a regular friday feature at the end of every week. there's no doubt that the president sort of thrives on some of this unpredictability, chaotic, jumping from one thing to the next that he thinks he can seize to try to get a win. i think the big two things at the end of the week that the president is driving, chris, not x factors, the tariffs and the north korean announcement, this is him trying to shake things up

from the scat tus quo. >> how nervous are the people around him in charge of backing up his talk about making the tariffs thing come out in u.s. favor, making the north korea thing come out to u.s. advantage? >> as nervous as any gambler is in placing a big bet. that's what this is. it is unclear if this will be a winning z proposition on either front, and there are clearly some nerves in the white house. on the tariff issue, they're being pounded by folks on the hill on a quarter hourly basis. the phone is ringing off the hook from their republican allies on the hill that have a lot of concern over the tariff rollout. that gives them some pause. but you're going see the president tomorrow in pennsylvania in that race outside pittsburgh. he's going to be touting this and singing it from the rooftops as best he can, because he believes this is his way to fortify that base of support that he thinks the republican there needs to get over the hump

on tuesday. >> the 18th district is one thing in pennsylvania. it really does strain credulity that he would do one trade move to impact the special election. it does seem like that in terms of the facts on the table. the metric has not changed for this president. he can't think that things go well for him in the next election if he sticks just with his base. the mandate has always been to go. remember one of the first things jared was supposed to be in charge of, get to 100% approval with everybody in the country. obviously that isn't happening. what is the concern about his ability to grow? >> well, i think the north korea thing may be more of an effort to try to grow if it plays out. it's a big risk. but it's not just a base play. this is sort of a big leadership, international stage kind of play.

again, many questions about it. but there's some opportunity there. that's the kind of thing that, if it works out in the president's favor, could start growing his support. i agree with you. i look for this every day in the trump presidency, what is he doing to add to what he has, to broaden out that appeal? i think that's how we should measure the presidency in many ways. that happens few and far between with this president. >> very interesting. with all this chaos and all these headlines, you know what they're not talking about? these changes to dodd-frank. we dealt with it earlier this week. it's largely been kept under the radar. of course, gun control off the pages, even if all those kids and the emotional employpleas b of the headlines. >> the tariff rollout and north korea announcement have been stormy daniels and nunberg and gary cohn off the front page as well. >> some of it should be off the front page. david chalian, thank you as
