lies and deception. here's a preview. >> is it an act. >> or is. >> she the most. >> powerful type of liar? the one who truly believes that on some level, the lies she tells are built on a fundamental truth? how do you see yourself? >> i mean, you. >> know. >> a lot of people. >> think you're a con artist. >> do you see yourself like that? >> not at all. >> i think. if anybody. >> bothers to look into. >> my criminal. >> case. >> i never plan to, like, permanently defraud anyone of anything. >> i mean, you did. >> tell lies. >> yeah. >> even if you thought that ultimately things were going to happen, you did tell lies about wire transfers and stuff. >> yeah, but i think it's different. had i like, had i known that whoever i'm talking to, they will never get their money back. that was never my mindset. >> you thought it was all going to work out. >> it's not like my project was something completely fantastical. >> the more she. got away. >> with. >> the more she. >> felt she could. >> get away with. >> she thinks. >> well, why can't i get $50

million? >> it's a. >> megalomania of. >> a kind, i. >> guess, and also somewhat justified. >> it's fascinating. the new episode of united states of scandal, jake tapper, airs sunday, 9 p.m. eastern pacific, right here on cnn. the news continues right here on cnn. >> outfront next, breaking news. tariffs taking effect. hours from now as markets lose $6.6 trillion. and where was trump at a saudi run golf tournament today? playing golf. plus, an outfront exclusive the fda's top vaccine scientist told by rfk jr. to resign or get fired. he chose to leave on his own. and tonight, breaking his silence. and trump's cheerleader, jd vance, now celebrating the trade war. but as arcade fire uncovers tonight, he had a very different view about tariffs not long ago. let's go out front. good evening. i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight, the breaking news. it's about to start for real. the tariffs they're actually about to start. hours

away from taking effect. but the chaos and selloff on wall street today was brutal. the dow down more than 2000 points. the market wide toll $6.6 trillion over the past two days. that is a stunning number. and to give you some context, that amount that's greater than the gdp of france and the united kingdom combined. the nasdaq closing in bear market territory. a bear market. we were talking record highs recently. look at this. look at how hard it would have been to find anywhere that didn't go down. loss after loss after loss. i mean, this is a crisis. as one of our guests will say here, this was a mini crash. so where was trump? well, he was on a golf course from 9:45 a.m., which is just a few minutes after the stock market opened until 3:38 p.m., 22 minutes before the stock markets closed. you can see what was happening in the markets. this is the same man who trashed others like obama for focusing on golf during crises. >> when you're president, you sort of say like, i'm going to

sort of give it up for a couple of years. there are times to play golf. we all love golf, there are times to play, and there are times that you can't play, and it s signal. >> well, it sent the wrong signal today and yesterday. as the conservative website drudge said, trump's decision to spend the day golfing was all about putting his relationship with the wealthy arab state of saudi arabia first. the headline saudi first trump focused on golf during spiral. of course, ivanka trump's husband jared received $2 billion from the saudi royal family for his investment fund just after trump left office last time. and when trump did respond to the markets today, he did it by taking fire at the independent chief of the u.s. federal reserve, posting on social media in all caps cut interest rates jerome, and stop playing politics. as for jerome powell, he would not be bullied. >> to me, it's it's not clear at this time what the appropriate path for monetary policy will be. and we're going to need to wait and see how this plays out before we can start to make

those adjustments. >> calm and considered no all caps delivery. trump did post something else today. he said, and i quote again, he was in all caps. this is a great time to get rich, richer than ever before. three exclamation points. now, at the end of a two day disaster when stocks lost the equivalent of 25% of the entire american economy, that is rich and not in the way that he means it. and as for getting actually financially richer, stocks account for 69% of americans retirement savings, and they're getting hammered. one of the hardest hit. apple i mean, this is a stock in pretty much all. certainly the vast majority of 401(k) portfolios down again today, more than 7%. the loss for apple since its high, which is right after trump's election, is $850 billion. that is $1 trillion almost for apple alone. that is bigger than walmart has ever been in its entire existence. i mean these are stunning numbers. and one of the reasons that apple specifically is taking such a hit are the tariffs on china, where they make so many iphones. china is now hitting back hard, imposing they're

striking back 34% tariffs on all u.s. goods to match trump. trump responding caps again. china played it wrong. they panicked. the one thing they cannot afford to do. that, of course, is not how they see it in china. you're getting a lot of patriotism on this. some of the social media comments online. we must strike back hard, fight them to the end. hit the dollar. our real goal is not to retaliate tariffs, but to cause civil unrest within the united states, which something that tonight isn't even that insane to consider. i mean, beijing is america's third largest export market. china spends billions on american soybeans, cotton, pork, corn, wheat. when it comes to soybeans, by far the biggest buyer of american soybeans from the heartland of america. and the president of the american soybean association tonight saying, i don't support the use of tariffs as a negotiating tactic. it threatens our global markets and increases the costs of fertilizer, seeds and other things we need. and yet, in one of the most cognitively dissonant moments of the day, trump's agriculture secretary brooke wallace, went on national

television this morning and said, what you are about to see here, i'm sorry, as what you see on your screen was happening. >> we are. >> really, really excited and very grateful to president trump's leadership. >> the cognitive dissonance of those words and what was happening in the market, the red on that screen is extreme. and maybe you chuckled, but but it's not funny. i mean, as for trump's leadership in this specific tariff moment, according to the washington post, trump was provided a number of options from several agencies, and many of them very thoughtfully designed on tariffs specific to country and product. and, you know, all the nuance and layer that might be needed in such a moment. trump passed, though instead, the post reports personally selected a formula that was based on two simple variables the trade deficit with each country and the total value of its u.s. exports, which is how we ended up with situations like trump saying vietnam is a 90% tariff against the u.s. when it's 9%, and saying all sorts of other things on tariffs that were false. well, one white house source says of trump tonight, something that i guess

with all of this would make sense to anybody listening. he's just at the peak of just not giving an f anymore. jeff zeleny is outfront, live in west palm beach, florida. jeff, i know you've got new reporting tonight. you know, now he's off the golf course. he's back. he's been meeting with advisers. how is he reacting to this bloodbath, this mini crash on wall street? >> erin, the president. >> and the white house are defiant, at least on the surface, in the wake of. >> this second. >> straight day of a dramatic fall, not only. >> in. >> u.s. markets, but, of course, global markets as well. >> but the day began. >> about 15. >> minutes after the u.s. markets. >> opened. >> already falling. the president. >> arrived at his golf course here, where he spent. nearly six hours. >> i'm told it. >> was a mix of working as well as golfing, but of course we saw some of those messages he was sending out. throughout the day, he tried to pressure the chairman of the federal reserve. he talked about conversations he was having with the viet nam and other leaders. but at the end of this day, the president did not say anything publicly, and his

advisers were not out selling his plan. this is the biggest policy proposal his administration has had. and instead, his treasury secretary, scott bessent, we're told, was taking phone calls from concerned business executives, worried about what they were seeing about their investments in the market. so now there is a concern. is this truly a national emergency? did they actually also began with pretty strong jobs numbers for march. so is this actually an emergency? will there be lawsuits filed to challenge that? the whole basis of these tariffs in the first place? but talking to one top republican adviser who's in conversation with the president tells me this. the president isn't guided by the market, but of course, he watches it like everyone else. so as we end this week here, one of certainly the most consequential. the president is spending the rest of the weekend here. he's likely to golf tomorrow, as he normally does. but aaron, the question as the the first deadline begins tonight, is he open to any adjustments for that next

deadline next wednesday? he has signaled that he is. and there's certainly some belief that he might be. aaron. >> all right. jeff zeleny, thank you very much. in west palm beach tonight out front now, richard quest, peter tuchman, one of the most recognizable traders on wall street, and jason furman, who served as chairman of the council of economic advisers under president obama. peter, when we're talking about in our preamble here, mini crash, a word that you are using to describe what you are, what you were in the midst of on the floor of the new york stock exchange today. >> you know, and i don't use that word lightly. right. you know, we've seen a handful of actual crashes over the last hundred or some years. and crashes is a significant, experience. significant experience. and but, you know, over this last week, you know, we came in during the week. the weekend was a little bit more positive news coming out. we were up a thousand points on monday after a weekend of sort of, you know, there was going to be pinpointed softer landing with the tariff story. and then tuesday was the auto tariff story that came out. and then wednesday, thursday and friday were so significant. we're

talking 1600, 1800 and 2200 points on the dow. right. we've gone from 45,000 to 30, almost 37,000, 1000 points in the s&p. you know, you have to look at it as a mini crash without any question. six point whatever trillion dollars out of the market. stocks are trading literally 50% of where they were at their record highs. february 19th we were trading at record highs. this is six weeks ago. we were at a record high. to think that where we are. >> to think about where we are, and it was the decision of one person. right. it's the point. as you said, you knew something. >> was coming yesterday. >> you knew something was coming. and and that something could have been supported by the gain you saw on monday. right? i mean, they knew something was. it wasn't like, oh my gosh. tariffs on their own. richard. >> no. >> look this. >> my first stock market crash. >> was 87. so i've seen a few of them. yeah. was mine over the years. and you can usually pinpoint them. it's the global financial crisis 2008. it's the pandemic 2020. it's .com boom and bust. but this is totally

self-inflicted and unnecessary, which is why i'm calling it economic vandalism. because what the administration has done is taken a policy that is largely discredited, has offended on foreign policy. greenland, canada, whatever you want and has now ruptured relations both with markets and governments and investors. and the reality of this is why it's so important, aaron. the reality is not peter and myself were talking about large numbers and traders and whatever. the reality is tonight's 401 case. this is. >> you talk about being at half of the value at the high. i mean, think about what that did to americans. >> that's 6.6 trillion. >> i can't even look at what's at what's happened to my retirement fund. i can't even look at it because i'm thinking, you know, with my perspective, how long will it take to get back? how long? how much has to happen? >> but think about it. we are in a level of somewhat of privilege to a certain extent, but but basically the average person out there who is thinking about retiring in the next couple of years, who's eight weeks ago was

looking at their portfolio, so many percent, double digit percentage, higher going, you know what? now i can finally retire. every one of the crashes that we've seen, and i lived through 87 as a clerk on the floor, 2000, 2007 and the pandemic. each one of them, the only thing that was the same was we came off of record highs each time. each one of them had a component that was explainable. there was a health, a health crisis. there was a predatory lending practice. that was the explanation. there's no explanation to this. and i said it to you last night single handedly. we've taken something. and i think richard's terminology is right. it's actually it's irresponsible, inexcusable. and it surely is vandalism. >> jason, you know, i want to play something. as we talk about the word used to describe this and the moment as people look at maybe thought they could retire and now can't, and what it will take to get back there. you know, jim cramer said something, you know, my friend on cnbc today, he didn't mince words. here he is. >> they could have. >> a crash. i don't see why not. >> i mean. >> why would you buy stocks. i

do think that what's happened, carl, is that i struggle for why? for what the president's game plan is because if you wanted to make the market. crash, i think you would go with this game plan. >> i mean, you know, what do you make of that, jason? if he if you wanted to make the market crash, i think you would go with this game plan. i say this, by the way, i want to highlight jim cramer is not against tariffs. right. so it's not just an anti tariff point he's making there. it's how trump has done this. >> yeah i mean this. >> was an extraordinary. >> way of developing policy. it seems like. >> the president. >> finalized the plans of what he was going to do for each country. at 1 p.m. on wednesday, three hours before he announced it. we saw all the sloppiness of the tariffs put on that island that just has penguins on it, and no people in the antarctic. but then much, much more seriously, tariffs that go way

beyond what he talked about in the campaign in terms of the market. here's the scary thing. if the market believes that the tariffs that have just are just starting tonight are going to last for the next year, it would go down even more than it already has. the market has not fully priced in these tariffs. they're expecting that the president will at least partly blink and take some of them back. that would be good if he does that. if he doesn't expect, you know, even more pain down the road. >> and of course, he says he's not going to he's he's not. i mean, he'll do individual negotiations. he said, i am not changing. >> and china made that harder for him today. china just retaliated. which is totally understandable. that's what countries do when you attack them with tariffs. and that's going that was part of what went on in the market today. they think, you know, it's not going to be quite as easy a way to settle this and get back to peace as they were hoping. >> the market has just been told

that the earth is flat. essentially. and how you adjust to that with with economic formulas that you've never had to deal with. so this is why jp morgan today, yesterday put up the recession rate to 60% tonight. it is basically also coming out with its own forecasts. >> you're saying an actual recession. at starting what would be in june. >> and and if you look at what they're also saying, they're saying that the bank the fed will cut. but jerome powell's got an impossible position because he's facing stagflation. he's facing the difficulty of cutting or raising. what do you do? >> well, i mean, and this is the question. and i want to ask peter, you know, you know, you just you take all politics out of it. but you see how trump spent his day. now, i know he had this live thing in his calendar. and you can take aside what he said about making sure you read the moment and not playing golf. but this is the images that he put out today. right. and then the comment that he made in one of his social media posts, right, that i read

in all caps, is i look for it. but, you know, this is a great time to get rich, right? and you're going to you're only going to get richer. this is a great time to get rich, richer than ever before. he's on a on a golf course. how much does that dissonance matter? >> you know what? i think it matters a lot. and it was also the gentleman from cantor fitzgerald who's his new adviser. howard lutnick right. when was asked about what he thought of the situation on the stock market, and he started to talk about his wife renovating their $25 million home. that was where he went with this story. it's such a disconnect. this is these are real numbers. trillions of dollars in the beginning. think about it. february 19th, record high. we started to see in the old days on wall street when there was data that was coming out that had major economic implications. it happened before the market opened or after the market closed. when you were down on the floor or at a designated news conference, so that everybody had a level playing field. right. he had does his own way. he has sort of a bully tactic. and so for those first 3 or 4 weeks when the market was sort of, you know, unraveling, it felt like maybe there's a comeback from this. if he

changed the narrative, we could get back to even at some point, what's happened since this reveal, because i was and i played it all wrong. i thought the reveal was going to be the turnaround moment, that he was going to come out, whether we understood it or not, that these numbers were going to make sense or not, and that we were going to be able to turn the market around. we're beyond turning this market around at this point. and it feels and obviously he doesn't he today would have all of these are individual opportunities where he could have said, you know what guys i need to sort of everyone's got to calm down. i've got this under control and he's playing golf. >> i mean, the signal was the signal, which was i. this doesn't bother me. right. i mean, it is what it is. that was a signal. >> see here. >> and, jason, i mean, you know, you look at china coming out and matching. obviously that's crucial. but now that. does that just give the green light. the gates open for everybody else to to do that, especially of the big trading partners. >> yeah. you're going to see different countries doing different things. the european union is certainly going to be

retaliating against the united states. there's some places that are so dependent on exports to the united states. the trade situation is so asymmetric that they may settle. you might see that in a country like vietnam. yeah. but let me tell you something. if vietnam lowers its tariffs on the united states, it's going to matter. a tiny, tiny, minuscule little bit to our economy. we just don't export much to vietnam. we're not going to make america great again by selling more to the country of lesotho. if lesotho chooses to lower its tariffs now that it's been faced with a 50% one from us. >> right. right. and of course, many of those things made in vietnam. i don't care how much you lower the cost of making them, it's still going to be a hell of a lot more expensive to make them here. thank you all very much, i appreciate it. and next, our breaking news continues. trump's treasury secretary claiming the revenue from trump's tariffs could reach as high as $600 billion a year. so where does he get that number? fareed zakaria is next.

plus, i'll talk exclusively to the fda's now former top vaccine scientist. today was his last day. he was told to resign or be fired. so this is going to be his first television interview. what's his message to rfk jr.. and republicans sounding the alarm, hoping they can get to trump. >> if we go into a recession, particularly a bad recession, 2026 in all likelihood politically would be a bloodbath. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you? new tomorrow. >> on cnn. >> sheldon, good to see you. i can see you're upset, but when we said ditch the shells, we were talking about pistachios, not you. oh, you mean these pistachios? >> oh. >> oh, now you look upset. you okay? john? can we get some arugula, please? >> pronamel. clinical enamel strength can help us to keep our enamel for a lifetime. it's backed by science. it is

clinically proven to strengthen our teeth. i would recommend this toothpaste to everybody. it's really an amazing product. >> i'm already prequalified for a carvana. >> auto loan. i better teach you about down payments. i put in a. >> low down payment. but look at all these cars. >> i can still help. think, think, mom. yes, dear. >> could you give me a ride to the carvana vending machine? >> of course, my love. finance. >> and buy your car on carvana today. >> oh. >> what a. >> good time we will have. you can make it happen again. >> voltaren for long lasting arthritis pain relief. >> a heart attack. do they have life insurance? >> no. >> but we have life insurance. >> john. >> i'm trying to find. something we can afford. >> fortunately, in only a few minutes, selectquote found john a $500,000 policy for only $29 a month. and his wife, anne, a $500,000 policy for only $21 a month. go to selectquote.com now and get the insurance your

always use. you say capricious, destructive, and dumb way. talking about how trump is using american power tonight. >> yeah. you know, this may be the biggest economic policy error of my lifetime. i've never seen anything like this. and, you know, you are seeing the verdict already in from the markets. and the stock market is not the economy, erin, but the stock market, the bond market, the commodity markets. everybody is signaling that this was a disaster. and it's going to be more pain to come. it reminds there's only two occasions i can recall when markets have gone so badly askew so fast all at once. and that was the pandemic and the 2008 global financial crisis. but at least in those cases, those were genuine crises. here you have an own goal. you have an unforced

error of policymaking, creating a global financial crisis. >> and, fareed, you know, we're finding out as all of this trump is, you know, saying, oh, well, he'll negotiate with some countries. it turns out that two of the countries that he's indicated that he might negotiate with in terms of these tariffs, whatever that means at this point, are countries that, according to crew, citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington, two countries were where right now there are trump branded real estate projects going forward. i understand in all the layers of the onion, it's hard to even think about that. and yet that in and of itself is stunning. >> well, it's actually a very much a feature of the kind of economy donald trump is trying to create. the more you have tariffs, the more you have these kind of blanket political decisions that govern the economy. the more businessmen have to curry favor with politicians. you know, what's extraordinary is the american economy was always about the fact that you just did your business. you didn't have to

worry about the government. that much light hand of regulation, lower taxes than in, say, europe. what trump is creating is an economy in which everyone is going to have to come to washington to beg for a favor, for an exemption, for a special rate, whether you're a country, whether you're a company. it's really fundamentally un-american. it is the opposite of what the american economy is about, is supposed to be, which is a free economy without you're having to curry favor with politicians. so you're absolutely right. there is going to be inevitably questions of whether or not there was deal making, whether there was corruption. but that's the nature of protectionism. >> so, you know, here's the thing. when you talk about the light hand of regulation, right. that is is is what many see as the strength of the american economy. but it is certainly with the tried and true bread and butter of the republican party is at its ethos and its core. and that's what gop presidents have believed in ronald reagan. you look at him

as part of a brand new documentary that you have coming out about conservatives long running war against the government, which is taking a totally different form now. but ronald reagan is unrecognizable compared to donald trump. let me play a piece. >> in this present crisis, government is not the. >> solution to our problem. >> government is the problem. >> reagan's solution, the most radical attempt to downsize government since the new deal conservatives hopes were sky high. but in the end, the reagan revolution would fall far short. big government got even bigger, and many hardcore conservatives once again felt betrayed. >> you know, now, you see, obviously ronald reagan couldn't have had a more different view when it came to protectionism than donald trump. but in the in the concept of making government small

something reagan wanted, something obama said he wanted. right. we heard it. but this is a very different way. it seems to be being tried. >> yeah. you know, and the truth is with with getting government smaller, it's really all about the big programs medicare, social security, the defense department. if you're not tackling them and and it's really not waste, fraud and abuse. you can talk all you want about that. but these are going to be rounding errors. the real issue is are you going to means test social security. are you going to raise the retirement age. are you going to stop medicare from, you know, overcharging and over testing? but those are very hard political decisions to do. so it's much easier to rant and rail against, you know, against mexico or to go and cut spending on foreign aid, which is tiny, but it's, you know, it's an easy target because you're spending on foreigners. the real challenge is the big programs. but as you said, erin, it's important to point out reagan was a principled conservative.

he believed in small government both at home and small government. with regard to tariffs. he was a free trader. i think he would be turning in his grave to see what donald trump has done to the legacy of conservatism here. >> all right. fareed zakaria, thank you so much. >> pleasure. >> and you can catch the war on government, a fareed zakaria special. it is this sunday at 8:00 eastern and pacific here on cnn. next out front, an exclusive. the fda's now former top vaccine scientist is speaking out tonight after being forced out from the place he has worked for the past 13 years, breaking his silence. plus, one of the nation's top economists joins me. why? he says trump's trade war is the biggest economic mistake in a century. >> an msc cruise isn't just a vacation, it's. >> a holiday. >> full of european. >> style and all the things americans love to come on bloom. >> there are a ton of football

>> at ru. >> lala.com lala. >> you never pay full price. >> seize the deals on top names before. >> they're gone. shop.com today. >> tonight, an outfront exclusive. fda's top vaccine scientist, doctor peter marks, in his first television appearance, speaking out after hhs secretary rfk jr.'s team told him to resign or be fired. he says the employees of rfk, quote, mistakenly fired and once back, may never return. here's rfk jr.. just in the past 24 hours. >> there were a number of instances where studies that should have not have been cut were cut, and we've reinstated them. personnel that should not have been cut or cut or reinstating them. and that was always the plan. the, you know, part of the doge we talked about this from the beginning is we're going to do 80% cuts, but 20% of those are going to have to be reinstalled because we'll make

mistakes. >> doctor marks also confirming tonight the kennedy quote gutted his office and that even more top vaccine regulators are right now being forced out by kennedy and doctor marks. his last day was today. he wrote in an writes in a resignation letter that he left because rfk jr. wanted, quote, subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies. quoting from your letter, doctor marks, who is outfront now, former director of the center for biologics evaluation and research and the top vaccine official at the fda. so, doctor, was your last day at the at the at the fda, and you have spent 13 years there. you say that they said resign or be fired. you are speaking out about why you are no longer welcome there. why not. >> i fully don't understand. >> it, but i suspect. >> it has to do with. a devotion to science. >> and to the. >> public health of this nation. the people. and it's an incredibly, an incredibly great group of people at fda who are

devoted to the public health of this country. they work tirelessly to make sure that we are safe, that we have safe drugs, safe biologics, safe foods, safe pet food and we do that by following the science. and if you don't believe in science or if you want to ignore the science, it's very hard to have people around who can't see anything other than following the. >> in a moment, i want to i want to read to you what the hhs said about you, but i want you first to be able to talk about science, because rfk is reportedly hiring a new vaccine researcher to study a possible link, they say, between vaccines and autism, which of course has been debunked by science. but rfk jr. also said this. >> there's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective. i don't think the vaccine worked. if you got vaccinated, you're

more likely to get sick, you're more likely to get severe illness, and you're more likely to die than if you were unvaccinated. and if you take the vaccine, you have a 21% increased chance of dying over the next six months. there's no science that says that these children are a threat to other children. the biggest exposure is not coming from power plants or old mining claims, as you might think. it's coming from our own vaccines. >> so. so how much does what happened to you have to do with rfk's position on vaccines? >> look, i just going to say this and i'm not going to directly confront mr. kennedy. he'll have to confront his maker for those lies. i just need to say to you as if i was under oath. the vaccines that make it through the vaccine approval process in the united states are not. every vaccine is safe, but those that make it

through the approval process are safe, effective and are high quality. no one at fda would ever let a vaccine out that they would not give to their own children, and it is just breathtaking that anyone would try to dissuade parents from giving their children vaccines, such as the measles vaccine, which is among the safest and most effective vaccines that we have. and one just needs to look at the estimate that 50 million lives have been saved over the past 50 years by that vaccine alone. >> so on that vaccine, right. and measles, we are facing a measles outbreak in the united states because of low vaccination rates in certain areas. right now, you're seeing cases in texas, new mexico, oklahoma, possibly kansas. so you've got 600. measles is obviously incredibly easy to transmit, right, because it is

aerosol. and a new report finds that a third, nearly a third of children eligible to be vaccinated against measles did not get their first shot on schedule this year. i mean, that is a stunning reality, doctor marks, that is this is vaccine has been around for decades, right? for decades. and now you've got a third of kids in america eligible for the vaccine that are did not get their first shot on schedule. i mean, the hhs, as you just left it, which is in charge of this from the national level, are they going to the way you see it, what rfk is doing there, are they going to do anything about that? >> i don't know what he's going to do and i can't make him do anything. but i can tell you as a viewer, please consider getting your child vaccinated. if they're not vaccinated, it's easy to ignore measles because we haven't seen it. i had measles, i had the vaccine as well. it is not just an innocent disease, benign disease. it kills one inch 1000 children in a developed country like the

united states. we've already had two deaths in the united states. one in a child from this. and there's these are needless deaths because the vaccine is 98% effective against preventing measles, but close to 100% effective in preventing death. and i need to tell you, aaron, that the measles vaccine does not. it does not kill children. the measles vaccine, honestly, it doesn't cause encephalitis. the measles vaccine can cause a fever about a week after. and if you're not careful and you don't take the kids temperature. yes, they rarely about 15 out of 100,000 will get a febrile seizure, which is scary, but it goes away. and if you take your child's temperature and keep it down, you don't end up with that problem. and the other couple of problems that come with it are ones that come and go. so really, a remarkably safe vaccine. the 100,000 kids get the measles, 100,000 kids get the measles vaccine. and guess

what? very few adverse events. that is the truth. unfortunately, if 100,000 children in the united states get measles, we will end up with at least about 100 dead up front. and then there's a complication whereby measles infection persists in the brain, and about 10 or 20 will then die in the next several years. what do you want, 100 to 120 dead children per 100,000, or a vaccine that we know from global use is incredibly safe and we know what can happen, because if we look at american samoa, where there was a measles outbreak, 5700 cases there, the supportive care was not as good. there were 83 deaths. >> yeah. well, we've been talking a lot about the governor of hawaii, governor greene, who is out there after rfk jr.. was there. before you go, doctor, i know that you're concerned about obviously, the vaccine of this, but i know one of your biggest concerns as you leave the fda,

and i know you're resigning, but obviously not by choice. you wanted to continue doing your work. is biowarfare that that is a big concern you have because of what rfk jr. is doing in terms of firing biowarfare. what are you talking about? >> so let me just back it up, if you don't mind, for one quick second. i just didn't regulate vaccines. i also regulated innovative biologic products. by leaving. i leave behind the what we did with cell gene therapies that could have helped people. for instance, kids with cancer who had no other treatments, adults with sickle cell disease. i leave behind people who were doing their best to try to speed up treatments for rare diseases. and i, i also leave behind a group now gutted, that was ready to respond to natural and man made threats. at any given time. there were many, many viruses that could come. things like ebola and others that could be

very dangerous to our country. we had a group that was prepared to deal with those. additionally, i can't go into all the details, but there are man made threats that we were prepared to deal with. having that capacity means that today i believe we are weaker as a nation, and i believe our adversaries know that we are weaker as a nation because we don't have that capacity. >> doctor marx, very sobering, but thank you very much for taking the time and for speaking out. appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me. >> and next, a top republican tonight with a message for trump. turn back now before it's too late. wait to see who it is. plus, our kfile uncovering audio of jd vance breaking in a big way with trump when it comes to trade. wait till you see. >> it. >> it's halftime. time to go to the bathroom. >> never slams. >> shower and count how many full baths.

enormous risks. his words if other countries retaliate. >> and it's terrible for america. it will hurt jobs and hurt america. and there is a very real risk of that. if we go into a recession, particularly a bad recession. 2026, in all likelihood politically would be a bloodbath. you would face a democrat house, and you might even face a democrat senate. >> and republican senator rand paul, writing in an op ed for fox news, quote, terminate the trump tariffs before it's too late. they don't punish foreign governments. they punish american families. politics aside, if you can, on this one. famed economist tonight says trump's trade war is the biggest economic mistake in almost 100 years. 95 years. and he is out front now, jeremy siegel, professor emeritus of finance at the wharton business school. and professor, you and i spoke so many times during the great recession, 2007, 2008 and and some of the feelings that people have here in the markets

right now are reminiscent of those very frightening times. professor, why do you believe, when you look at this in the context of history, that this is the worst economic policy in a century? >> well. >> i go. >> back to the smoot-hawley tariff. >> which is a. >> passed in 1930 with with rates that are similar. and in fact, some of trump's rates are even higher than that tariff. but what's interesting, erin, is if you go to the u.s. senate website and just, you know, senate.gov. the senate is, of course, controlled by the republicans. and if you do on search tariffs and you come up to the smoot-hawley tariff right away, and i'm going to quote you right from their website on june 13th, 1930, the senate passed the smoot-hawley tariff among the most catastrophic acts

in congressional. history. now, that seems puzzling to me. that, the republican controlled senate would say that the smoot-hawley tariff again, which had rates that are not dissimilar to what trump now has, was among the most catastrophic acts in congressional history. and then they go on to say it had such a bad effect on the economy at and in this, you know, you talked about cruz and rand paul, that the voters turned out the republicans, both from the house and the senate and the presidency two years later. so yeah, you know, i don't know whether trump knows that this is on there or he's going to scrub the website now. because i think that this is this is what the

received wisdom of economists. in fact, they said a thousand economists signed a petition back then drafted by paul douglas, who was actually a future senator, imploring the president to veto the tariff. now, back then, it was only congress that had the ability to pass tariffs. unfortunately, congress gave over. well, from over the last 50 years, all the power of the tariffs to the president. we wouldn't have that if that didn't happen. but, you know he ignored it. hoover ignored the pleas and and signed it. >> well, it is pretty i think it's fascinating that you say that and point that out about how things are different. you know, people talk about congress with the power of the purse as to why they don't, in this case, have the power of tariffs. when we talk about one person being able to singlehandedly do it, it's not an exaggeration. it is one person. and it happens to be the president because they gave the power up. you know, professor, what do you what do you think people should do right

now? and i know you're not going to come out and give investment advice, but just in the context of, you know, a quarter of the value of the united states entire economy was lost in the stock market in the past two days. right? people's four one have been decimated. it is a frightening time. what should people do? >> they should hold on. you know you know, i've done all the long term research, and it's always a mistake to panic and sell out. yes, there might be more short term turbulence. and certainly if he keeps them on and we don't know, you know, aaron, by the end of this broadcast, he could have a tweet. oh, yeah. hey, listen. decided to suspend them for a month. so. yeah, totally unpredictable. and by the way, that unpredictability is a negative for business. and the market in and of itself. but certainly if they are kept on at these levels for protect protected number number of days

you know, i think a recession would be almost a certainty. >> all right. well, that another somber conversation this evening. but, professor, i do appreciate your time. i am glad to see you again. thank you. >> thank you. >> and next arc file uncovering audio of jd vance doubting trump's trade policies. >> nexium 24 hour prevents heartburn acid before it begins. get all day and all night heartburn acid prevention with just one pill a day. choose acid prevention. choose next year. >> that's part of the party. >> snooping in the bathroom. >> ooh! >> party fell. >> not listening to your dentist. make the sonicare switch. for a champ. be gentle. be effective. be you. i love you. >> the fact that. >> saint jude take care of all this. this is what's keeping my baby girl alive.

talked about trade extensively in a very different way than trump. >> that's right. and jd. >> vance is. >> now one of the loudest. >> and really. >> frankly, most articulate. >> voices within the administration. >> defending their. >> new. >> tariffs. >> calling them key to bringing back american manufacturing. >> but just. >> a. >> few years ago, he wasn't just skeptical. >> of protectionist trade policies. >> he was outright dismissive of them. he said that those jobs that went to china were gone. he said a number of times that they weren't coming back. let's just listen to a couple of those comments from him right here. >> i do. think that trade hasn't necessarily been. >> in the best interests. >> of a lot of. >> these communities. >> now, the question of whether you can go backwards in time, i think the answer is no. now, does that mean that we should be hyper protectionist in our approach to trade? i would argue no. >> and one thing, erin, that was really interesting that we found was that was 2016, 2017. but then we fast forward to 2019. he supports trump's policies. he found an exchange where he's kind of going back and forth with someone. and even then he says in this exchange, talking

about tariffs and trade quote, for what it's worth, this is jd vance. for what it's worth, the policy may very well fail. so even then, when he's supporting trump around trade, not a ton of confidence in 2019 that this is going to be a successful policy. >> no. okay. so he also had the opposite view of trump on what was to blame for u.s. manufacturing job losses. right. those have happened. right. jobs have gone overseas. right. that is a reality that that is at the core of this. but trump blames other countries, right. he's blaming protectionist trade policies. vance has said loud and clear that that was wrong. it's something else to blame. >> exactly. yeah. he made the opposite argument, basically from trump. he said that american manufacturing jobs were lost, not because we're shipping them overseas, not because of trade deals, he said. they were lost because of robots, because of automation, because basically robots were taking the jobs of people. and he said, you know, that the protectionist trade policies, the same ones that he supports now, were not going to be we're not going to bring

those jobs back because they
