good evening everyone piem kate baldwin in for erin burnett. breaking news. president trump escalating the trade war with china. trump announcing a now round of tariffs in retaliation to china's retaliation, announced earlier in the day. the president calling china's moves politically motivated. so he is increasing all the tariffs against china by 5%. all of this caused another bad day on wall street, ending down 623 points. the president also spent thedy attacking his new favorite booking man, the federal reserve chairman jay powell. tweeting in part we have a strong dollar and weak fed. my only question is who is our bigger enemy, jay powell or chairman xi. yes the president compares the independent fed chairman he appointed to america's leading trade adversary. and he wasn't done there. announcing a decree or at least trying to in another tweet. our great american companies are

hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to china. are hereby ordered. and in case you are wondering it's not clear the president can actually do that. but his tweets did seem to have a real impact. the tweets came at about 11:00 a.m. roughly 10 minutes later. the dow dropped more than 350 points. and a source told cnn, the president scrambled to meet with his trade team at the white house to decide how to respond. yet his trade adviser insisted the chinese tariffs are no surprise. >> this was a move that was well signalled. it's not -- it's breaking news, i guess. but it was -- well anticipated. >> the reporting reaction from the markets response from the president seem to tell a different story. if you wonder what the president of the united states was doing as americans watched the markets taping, here is your answer. cracking jokes about it. this tweet. still happening during the

trading day. look at this. the dow is down 573 points perhaps on the news that representative seth moulton whoever that may be has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. honestly, i know he says a lot of wild things. i he know he has broken the mold over and over again. we talk about that. but joking about the stock market tanking and making fun of anybody or especially someone who has served four tours of duty in iraq, that's not funny. it's just wrong. and after a week of the whiplash and erratic behavior that the country has been witnessing from the oval office, what is going on with president trump right now? honestly. boris sanchez is outfront at the white house. boris, what are you hearing there tonight? >> hey there, kate, from what sources outlined to us, the president is concerned about the trade war and how it will impact him personally. we know he spoke to aides

robotly asking how it could impact his 2020 re-election chances. the president facing a series of difficult tests and not taking responsibility for the tweets that you outlined that tanked the stock market today. look there are ominous signs the american economy is weakening. the federal reserve is not bending to his will despite repeated attacks on jerome powell and despite claims from the administration that american consumers aren't bearing the brunt of the tariffs, we are hearing different things from the farmners the midwest in red states that president trump carried in 2016. the concern obviously is the real going into 2020. the question is, what ultimately the president will do about it? he is repeatedly said the trade war is going to be easy to win. it's clearly proving more difficult than perhaps he imagined. let's not forget he is headed to the g-7 in france in a couple of hours. the president will hear from other world leaders there telling him that this trade war is negatively impacting their economies as well as the global

economy. kate. >> that's exactly right. boris wsh, thank you so much. >> outfront now democratic congressman from virginia, gerry connolly on the house foreign affairs committee. thank you for coming in. >> great to be with you kate. >> can we start with the tweet coming from president trump aching seth moulen making fun of him and joking about the market plunging when it was? you saw that. and you thought what? >> i thought it was part of a really crazy two weeks. we've gone from greenland, to background checks, to no background checks, to payroll tax cut, to no payroll tax cut. to attacks on various and sundry figures. and now making fun after imposing additional tariffs on chinese imports, making fun of the meltdown on wall street, which i think por tends an economic detracks, recession.

that's no laughing matter for millions of americans whose liefl lieflhoods. >> i'm not asking for diagnosis, congressman. but do you think from the erratic behavior we saw throughout the week and you listed only a few of the things that happened, is it -- >> right. >> do you think it's anger? is it fear? is it -- what is it? what is wrong right now? what is eating at the president so much? >> i think -- i think if you look for a rational explanation, which by the way may not be called for -- i think he is worried about the fact that his one ace in the hole, a growing economy, may not be the ace in the hole he thought it was. in fact we're looking at all the signs of an economic contraction. secondly, i think polling is getting to him. there was a poll out today that only 39% of americans want him re-elected. 57% do not.

that's an enormous margin if the election were held today. and even donald trump in his delusional form, can't ignore the numbers. so i think -- i think finally things are getting to him. and he doesn't handle this kind of stress well. given the fact that he has a steady dooitet diet of fastfood he doesn't have the healthiest diet to give him other voices that might give him counsel and help through difficult times. he has pretty much jettisoned the voices and surrounded himself with yes people. >> i was surprised not expecting to hear fastfood coming in the explanation. i want to read one more time. i want to read what the president when he went on twitter one of the things he said. our great american companies are hereby immediately ordered to start looking for alternatives -- an alternative

to china. do you think the president actually believes that he has the power to do it that? >> i think this president is very capable of deep delusion, self-delusion. the other day, remember -- i didn't list it but he called himself the chosen one. so apparently the chosen one thinks he has absolute power to command where american businesses invest. and with whom we trade. he does not have that power. nonetheless, he does have the power to make markets already nervous even more so. and we saw that effect today. >> look, everyone agrees that when it comes to china, china has needed to be dealt with for many years. you do not agree with how he is doing it. but what do you think should be done? china retaliates, announces tariffs, more tariffs this morning. the president retaliates and slaps on more tariffs. what should be the response?

>> i think a tit-for-tat trade war is not the way to go. it's going to hurt americans. it's going to hurt american farmers, american manufacturers. and american consumers. it's just not the way to go. negotiating with your trading partner and adversary, competitor, is the way to go. and we've had successful negotiations for the past. the problem is he has gotten rid of all. he abandoned the transpacific partner. criticized and gotten rid of nafta, made fun of the european union, major trading partner. and alienated mexico and canada in the process. he hasn't got a lot of places to go. as a result we have chaos in both our fiscal monetary and trade policies. >> and i don't know if there is an area here when i ask this that congress can or should respond. but when the president posed the

question today after attacking the federal reserve chairman -- i'll repeat one more time a man he appointed -- when he attacked him once again and asked the question of who is -- who is worse, jay powell or chairman xi of china, it -- i mean, it seems -- it seems worrisome that is how he he is -- what he is comparing the fed chairman to. is that something -- is there something that congress can or should do when it comes to the federal reserve and its role as an independent body? >> by and large congress has championed and protected the independence of the federal reserve, and for good reason i think we can be counted on to do that again. i think his comparison today was invidious, odious and totally unwarranted. >> congressman, thank you for

your time. a lot happening. >> my pleasure, kate. >> really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> outfront next donald trump balks at attending the g-7. which he is set to leave moments from now will he blow up the meeting? another democrat calls it quits in the run for president, declaring it's already down to a three-person race. and a democratic candidate accused of trying to boy miss way onto the debate stage. that candidate is outfront.

new tonight, president trump complaining to aides about why he has to attend the g-7. he is hours away from departing by the way. sources telling cnn that trump doesn't view the gathering of world leaders as a productive use of his time. outfront now, cnn david gergen, presidential adviser to four presidents, sam vein he grad. and presidential history yn tim naftali. thank you for being here. david, the fact that the news is coming out just hours before he is set to leave, i just wonder what does that say? >> nothing good. nothing good. kate, i first went to g-7 meetings some 40 years ago, president reagan. they started under president

ford back in the mid-70s. every president i know has had a really top person within the administration serve as a sherpa, writing up communiques in advance trying to get agreements in advance. every president taking the meetings very, very seriously. and today, you know, as president trump gets ready to leave, i must tell you i cannot remember a g-7 meeting when so much was needed from world leaders and so little is expected. >> that is a great way of putting it, david. that's a great way of put going, so much on the line and there is so low expectations, sam of what's actually coming out of it. obviously world leaders are now aware of the president's feelings towards the summit and attending. does -- does it impact -- does it impact the summit overall. >> you've been there trump is a creature of habit his disdain for coordination whether multilaterally with other

countries or internal has been clear since he came into office. he went to the nato summit insulting. we he went to the past g-7 and didn't sign the kpunga. other leaders are not surprised he has to be bribed to go to the meeting. but it's notable he questioned the value of the g-7 but it's one stop shopping for every issue or most issues affecting americans. >> the world is on fire, figuratively and literally. >> missiles flying figuratively and literally. but he wrights going to the summit where' gleefully meets with despots. they get a discount on his time because they say nice things. and the bar is set low macron announced no communique. they are trying to do damage control in advance. one of the key priorities is baby sitting president trump rather than focusing on things like environmental sustainability and gender equality key issues on the g-7 agenda. >> it's interesting you put it

as baby sitting or dealing with kid gloves or however. but there is also the awkward moments tim that seem to happen when the president gets around other world leaders. let me just play some of the things that seem to happen when he gets together with them. i mean he famously pushed the prime minister of montenegro because he said he needed to get in into his position for photo-op in 2017 then of course what happened at the u.n. last year. >> in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america is so true. didn't expect that reaction. but that's okay. >> i mean, points for handling the moment, but still awkward moments for president trump

often happen when he is with other world leaders. why does he struggle with this? >> well, i mean, it was so interesting to listen to david recount his recollections of -- and sam too, recollections of previous g-7s and g-8s one of the ways the meetings were useful to the united states was an opportunity not just for one stop shopping which is a great way to describe it. it was a chance for the united states to exercise leadership over the west. at some point this group was called the steer committee for the west. president trump shows no interest in exercising leadership over the west or really over any group. he is constantly have youing the rest of the world as rivals all the time. in fact if he is close to any country it would be russia and turkey and saudi arabia. niece meetings supposed to bring about consensus and a joint approach to a problem are anagt

ma to trump because he doesn't see the world that way. the key problem is that donald trump has never accepted the proposition that the american president should be a diplomat in addition to being the most respected most powerful person in the world. i don't think he has ever gotten that. and he is the first president not to get it. >> and sam, then add into this mix, the erratic behavior of the last week. all over the map on issues, not having a position, the gaggle with reporters that went off -- went off the rails. and then i don't know, trying to maybe be ironic with a tweet attacking a man who yes running for president against him, a democratic candidate but also served four tours of duty in iraq and joking about the tank of the stock market. i mean, i just -- when i -- when you look at it as a whole then he heads into the high-pressure summit that he doesn't want to be at, is it -- what is happening?

is it -- is it anger? is it anxiety? is it fear? is it a lot of folks talk with his narcissism but is it something else. >> but it may be all of the above. but it doesn't matter at this point because it's happening so long. as the rest of the world looks at his twitter tirade. he is tweeting erratic things, ridiculous things, dangerous things rather than doing what the two presidents i served under did, which was spend time with their teams, coordinating on the issues that were going to be on the agenda and coming up with an analytic way to move forward and to reach policy object he was. you lock at something like china. he tweets about tariffs. his team is putting out a statement that just came out quoting his tweets rather than everyone taking a step back and saying xi jinping will be at the g-7 how should we respond we have north korean missiles

flying and president trump tweets with those rather than taking a step back talking to the intelligence community and figuring out how to respond. this is par for the course. at this point and the rest of the world knows this is his version of preparing for just about everything. >> david from your perspective is this -- is this something that world leaders need to shrug off they see. he doesn't want to -- they had to convince him to go -- aides had to convince him to go to the g-7 summit by basically treating by giving a kid candy toth to the dentist adding an economic gathering on the last day so he could brag about something. i mean, what is so wrong here that he just -- what is so wrong here right now with him? >> well, i think we all have our own interpretations. mine is he is an alpha male who has gone totally out of control here in recent weeks. it's all about power. he does not want to share power, he doesn't want to be seen as

equal to others. ordering american companies to do this or that which is totally outside the realm of the constitution and our normal order of things. he treats one organization or one group of people after another as beneath him. now he is so frustrated because the economy is deteriorating in other countries and there are signs of deterioration in the u.s. i think he is going nuts about having to deal with the people at the same level of perceived power as he does. he believes the chosen one, as he -- i think there was something -- that was not in jest, that phrase, when he used it and described himself that way. that was something that comes from deep from within who he is. and he has been exposed to all the world. and i think if you are another g-7 member it -- going to a g-7 meeting with him it must be like going to the dentist. can you imagine how little they look forward to it? i think the french and germans, he tries to drive wedges between them.

trying to drive macron against merkel and once he deals with china however he deals with them he is come after them on the aim same tariff wars and it's a mess. and they realize he could wreck their economies and their countries. >> sam, last word to you. >> well, i'm looking -- i'm going to be lacking to see the relationship between barris johnson and president trump. boris johnson is probably the only person who will be in bieretz that trump will enjoy. i wonder whether truch will use this opportunity to drive a wedge between germany and france but to push the exes era brexit issue and help boris johnsonen and hurt the european union. >> thinking about all of the issues, crisis, tensions, problems, challenges to be solved that could happen at a gathering like this and how low the expectation is going in the it's a statement in and of itself. thank you very much. outfront next, the shrinking

tonight, the fit for 2020. and a democratic field that just got a little bit smaller. massachusetts congressman seth moulton announcing he is out and says it's now already a three-way race. >> well, i mean if you look at the polling, you've got warren and sanders at about 15%. biden a at twice that but no one else even close. i'm not saying that's a good thing. >> he also told "the new york times" that it's now a debate about how far left the party should go. outfront now cnn senior political commentator. jennifer grant home, the former democratic governor of michigan. and cnn political commentator.

is seth moultons are right we are looking at a three-person race. >> let me say thank you to seth moulton for running for president. first of all my hat off to seth. i think he is right in substance maybe not detail. i think this race is about a five-person race. most people narrowed it down to that. he was right with the three he named. elizabeth warren, sanders, biden. but kamala harris and pete buttigieg are there as well. most people in new hampshire, nevada, south carolina narrowed it down to those five people. we'll see how it shakes out. with that said, i have to put a calf gnat i'm one of the people who told you hillary clinton was going to be president of the united states. i got that wrong. we have to remember that rick sand toerm won iowa anything can happen this far out from the iowa caucus. >> this is very true. governor, i do then wonder what you make of the take from "the

new york times," reporting from "the new york times" today about joe biden. let me read part of the reporting. saying less than two weeks before labor day there are signs of disconnects between his rosy poll numbers and excitement for his campaign on the ground here, iowa. in the state that begins the presidential nominating process. how concerning is that? and see a red flag? should it be for the campaign? >> let's be clear. what is the number one thing democrats want? they want to get trump out. 54% of democrats who will be voting in the primary say they want to get trump out as their number one issue. so you can't disassociate that enthusiasm for that outcome with -- with joe biden. now, people do know him. they're not maybe checking him out as such much as rallies, et cetera. but they know he is a good person. i like to think about this the same way our colleague paul begala zribd it. people as a number one issue want trump out it's like a steam

heap of poop on the kitchen table. toents dogbe about a new house. get the poop out. they are very enthusiastic sfl. >> that sounds like a turn of phrase from paul. thank you for the mental image. one harris campaign adviser offered up great cnn reporting offered up very candid assessment of her campaign right now to cnn, saying that the day that the cnn poll came out this week that had her dropping 12 points -- 12 points from the high after the first debate, that that was quote the lowest point of the campaign thus far. do you grow with that? >> not at all. and i think that governor granholm will agree with me in this sentiment as someone -- i wasn't as successful in my statewide races as she was. she is more talented than i. but the campaigns, eb and flow.

you have ups and downs. and so i don't think you can get caught up in anything process. i relief our cnn polling. but when you turn the page and look at the cross tabs and see it was a poll with 400 people a national poll when some state polling is larger than that in terms of sampling, you just have to take it for what it's weather. i do thanksgiving there are will lessons. >> i'm standing by the cnn polling on this one. >> and that's fine. but there are lessons learned from the polls as well. everything is not as rosy after the first debate. they have to do the blacking and tackling better than they are. but i echo the sentiment. i believe they have the motivate talented horse in the race. we'll see how it ends up. i hope the campaign use that is poll as a sense of urgency. as someone studying and watching it it's another poll, another day move on. i don't think it was the worst day of the campaign but i believe there are better days ahead. >> governor, jill biden surprised a lot of folks. you talked about getting donald

trump out. that's the number one priority. jill boyden surprised olivia folks this week when she told vote theers that biden might not be the first choice but they need to vote for him because he can beat donald trump. some of biden's opponents -- opponents are responding to the take. listen to this, please. >> we have a job to do. beat donald trump. that's not enough. this moment requires more than being not trump. >> people on my streets if you said that to them they said say damn can't we have bigger aspirpgss than beating donald trump. beating donald trump is the floor. it's not the ceiling. >> make a compelling case, governor. how are they wrng in. >> well, i mean, first of all, let's be clear that every single one of these democratic candidates wants to make sure that everybody in america is ensured. that is a goal we all share. they may have a difference about

how to get there. but that's a big hairy audacious goal they share. it's not just about getting rid of trump. joe baden kamala harris everybody has a health care plan. climate change plan, everybody has a plan to try to undo the structural inequalities in our economic system. everybody has a plan to make sure we address criminal justice reform. the bottom line is that the differences between these candidates are much less than the difference between these candidates and donald trump. so you cannot get to the differences between these candidates unless we defeat donald trump? that is the main thing. the main thing is the main thing. but they all have robust far-reaching plans that go above and beyond just beating donald trump. >> but to get to beat -- attempt to beat donald trump you have to get to the differences between the candidates. and that's what they're going to have to do in the primary governor thank you. >> so true. >> thank you guys. >> thank you. >> outfront next one democrat is going after another.

listen. >> we're rewarding celebrity candidates with millions of twitter followers, billionaires who buy their way onto the debate stage. >> right there is he talking about tom steyer? steyer is my guest. and bernie sanders sounding a lot like president trump. >> wonder why the "washington post" is not one of my great supporters.

new tonight, a 2020 candidate slamming the dnc for its debate rules, which will likely keep half the field off the next debate stage. >> the dnc process is stiechlg debate at a time when we need it most. we're -- we're rewarding celebrity candidates with millions of twitter followers, billionaires who buy their way onto the debate stage, and candidates who have been running for president for years. >> remember one of the people senator ben set talking about. outfront now candidate for 2020 tom steyer. thanks for being here. >> kate, thank you for having me. >> first i want to ask you, do you agree at all with senator bennett that the dnc process, the rules is stifling debate? >> look, i think the question for every single candidate who wants to be the democratic nominee is simple.

do you have a message that democratic voters want to hear? is it important? is it differential and are are you a trusted messenger? i think as somebody who for ten years has been taking on corporations and building grass root organizations, and beating the corporations, i think i have a message people want to hear. that's the real question for everybody who wants to be the democratic nominee. >> but my question was do you think the dnc rules are stifling debate? >> no, i don't. kate, i think -- there always be complaints about any rules because they'll always be imperfect. but i don't think there's been an attempt to stifle debate at all. my point was that i believe if you have a message that breaks through you will overcome the rules and the paem will be able to hear it. and that is -- it will work out for you. >> gotcha. bennett there accused you of trying to buy your way onto the debate stage. he is not the only candidate saying that. governor steve bullock, he says

the same. listen to this. >> the thought that you could spend $10 million to get on a debate stage, i don't think that that's really good for democracy. >> how is he wrong? >> listen, when i look at this field and i see what i'm doing, as an outsider, i have been taking on corporations, the oil companies, the tobacco companies, the utilities, drug companies and beating them for ten years. when i look at the people who are actually at the top of the polls, they're all washington insiders, senators or former senators. i think there is a relevant point here whereas an outsider people can see that if you're going to change the broken government in washington, d.c., if you are going to undo the hostile corporate takeover of our government, maybe that's got to come from somebody from the outside. maybe that's got to come from somebody who has been working at

the grass roots for ten years. so i think that's exactly who i am. and i think it's a distinct contrast to the other people in this race. >> so are you saying you think it's sour grapes? what bullock is saying there and bennett is saying is that you spent millions in early states like iowa and that add helped juice -- boost your apology and your donor base. do you think it's just sour grapes? >> i think that what i've done is have a message which is resonating. i have no -- i don't want to speculate about what what's driving, you know their statements. what i know is that my mental is resonating with democratic voters. that what i'm saying is differential, that -- you described earlier the idea that the different presidential candidates all have opinions that are more similar as to health care, more similar as to climate, more similar as to education than different. now we might -- we could talk about that. but what's -- what i'm saying

that's different is this. if we're getting any of that done, any of it, we have to break the corporate stranglehold in washington, d.c. i've been taking them on ten years. if you want to get anything done we have to break it. and i've been doing it. i think that's a message americans can hear. because they know this government is broken. >> and i did want to ask you about that. because you spoke about that at the dnc meeting today vowing if elected you'd make sure the dnc would reject all corporate money. i wonder why is that message critical in the ultimate goal of beating donald trump? >> i believe that the key issue -- and i believe four out of five americans agree with me -- that this democracy has been bought by corporations. that the reason we pay twice as much for drugs as any other country is because the drug companies write the law. the reason that we still have the number of mass shootings and mass killings that we have is

because the gun manufacturers control the nra who writes the law. that the reason that we are the only country that's not in the paris accord is because the oil and gas companies don't want us to deal with climate change. so therefore how is it important to distinguish us from donald trump? it's not just donald trump, kate. we need a sweeping victory where we zingish who we are -- which is supposed to be the party of the people from who the republicans are, vis very, very clearly the party of corporations. and if we do that we can't be chasing corporate dollars. we can't be competing to get the attention and the respect of corporations. we need to make it chlorwe stand for the people first, last and always. and we will not -- you know with, we will not waver in that when we get up in the morning we do it and going to bed we do it. >> thank you for coming in. thanks for your time, tom steyer. >> kate, thank you for having zblee outfront next, bernie sanders continuing his attack against the news media.

is it campaign strategy or personal grudge? plus separated families in despair and a community torn apart by an immigration raid. >> do you know where your mom is? what are you -- what are you -- you're sad? it's hard, huh. >> yeah. t-mobile.ther reason to join do you like stranger things? sure you do. that's why netflix is on us. and here's another reason to join. bring in your discount, and we'll match it. that's right. t-mobile will match your discount. who used expedia to book the vacation rental which led to the discovery that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. expedia. everything you need to go. expedia. wit looks like jill heading offe on an adventure. jill has entresto, a heart failure medicine
