bureaucrats than individuals. >> i think the president talks al tough and slapping on the sanctions before the meeting and goes into the meeting, charms the pants off of everybody and they leave. >> there you go. "the evening edit" starts right now. have a great weekend. >> we're going to deal with the unfair trade practices. if you look at what canada and mexico, the european union, all of them have been doing to us for many, many decades. we have to change it. >> we are not going to live with the deals the way they are. they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers against our farmers. don't mention the fact they're judging almost 300% tariffs. all of these countries have been taking advantage of the united states on trade. you saw what canada charges our dairy farmers. 270% tariff. we have massive trade deficits
5:01 pm
with almost every country. we will straighten that out. and i'll tell you what, it's what i do. it won't even be hard. and in the end, we'll all get along. liz: g7 trade fight, he is trying to get a better deal to protect american jobs. that's his argument. it is game on. president trump saying just there he will try to straighten out trade agreements and in this hour, president trump will be meeting with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau. they have been fighting this week. it may all come to a climax in this hour. we will bring you the breaking details. money, politics, we deliver the debate behind tomorrow's headlines. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. . liz: first your money, the dow closing up 75 points today to
5:02 pm
25316. stocks up more than 1% this week. gains have been capped by trade tensions. more on that in just a second. first, president trump meeting in this hour with canadian prime minister justin trudeau. a lot more than that happened today. blake burman is in quebec with the details. reporter: the day's not over, liz, bon jour from quebec this evening. president is expected to meet with justin trudeau any minute now. a highly anticipated meeting as the canadians have been highly critical of president trump and the administration over the last week since the president decided to institute the steel and aluminum tariffs. in fact canada's foreign minister today saying that canada would not pull back retaliatory measures. and the whole issue of nafta. the president reiterating once again today if they cannot come to a consensus, then he will pull the u.s. out of the deal. >> if we are unable to make a deal, we will be better off.
5:03 pm
right now, we are not going to live with the deals the way they are. reporter: the president also expected to make up meeting with emmanuel macron. the two did meet on the sidelines after president trump came 50 minutes latet to g7 so the initial meeting was postponed. the white house not saying if it was a message sent on trade or just a coincidence. the president making headlines today when he said he feels the g7 needs to expand back to the g8 and bring russia and vladimir putin back to the negotiating table. >> whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run, and in the g7, which used to be the g8, they threw russia out. they should let russia come back in. reporter: liz, you remember russia was booted from the g8, now g7 four years ago after the
5:04 pm
annexation of crimea. a u.s. government official telling me a little while ago that the comments you heard from the president were not planned as if it was not part of a broader game plan heading into the g7. liz? liz: great to see you, thank you so much for coming in. reporter: you as well. liz: between president trump and canadian prime minister justin trudeau. you can see them there now. they are basically sitting down to possibly address the press momentarily. president did tweet out ahead of the summit -- the president says with the u.s. is $151 billion, also said canada keep their farmers and others out. looking forward to talking to them more. bring in the fiscal times liz peek, let's tune into the president and the prime minister of canada. >> justin, it's been great, and i appreciate.
5:05 pm
justin has agreed to cut all tariffs, all trade barriers -- [laughter] >> between canada and the united states. i'm very happy. >> nafta is in good shape. >> we're working on it, we're actually working on it. our relationship is very good. we're working on cutting tariffs and making it fair for both countries and made a lot of progress today. see how it all works out. we made a lot of progress. it could be that nafta will be a different form. it could be with canada, with mexico. one on one, much simpler agreement, easier to do, better for both countries. but we're talking about that among other things but the relationship is probably better as good or better than it's ever been, and i think we'll get to something very beneficial to canada and to the united states. >> excellent. >> thank you very much. we didn't discuss it. reporter: did you come to an
5:06 pm
agreement on a joint statement? >> are you leaving early? leaving early? liz: for reaction bring in the fiscal times liz peek. you heard the president jokingly say yes canada has agreed to cut all tariffs and trade barriers. so what is your reaction? because the markets did not react to this trade dispute. what's your take what the president said that they're making a lot of progress? >> isn't it remarkable that all this week as people have been nearly hysterical about the trade tensions that the market is up 1%, honestly is staggering. look, i think everyone understands that this is a lot of positioning that president trump is doing, and i've got to tell you, liz, i went and looked this morning at the very good op-ed that wilbur ross, the commerce secretary wrote several months ago about how other countries treat the u.s., particularly the eu countries,
5:07 pm
vis-a-vis trade and you can apply the same thing to canada. it is true that in almost ever major consumer product category, they are imposing much, much higher tariffs on u.s. goods than we are on -- the other way around. the question is why? what's the rationale behind that? i think what's happened is over decades basically the playing field tilted in favor of our trading partners. that's why we have enormous trade deficits with everybody. with the eu, with canada, with mexico, with china, so at some point, it seems very reasonable to say wait a minute, this really is not working for the u.s., and for those who say, hey, having a big trade deficit is no big deal. wilbur ross at the milken conference said to a large room is there anyone in this room who thinks that china does not enjoy and benefit from its huge trade surplus? not a single hand went up. of course they benefit from , just as we dot benefit
5:08 pm
from having a big decit. liz: the president saying canada charges the u.s. nearly quadruple tariffs on dairy product. canada to your point, look at the products that canada charges tariffs on. dairy, meat, table linens, who would have thought tablecloths have tariffs 50%? this has to stop! why is the u.s. so acquiescent for so long on trade with other countries. to your point. pew research says tariffs are among the lowest in the world and in the nation's history. we get it they are a tax, passed onto consumers but the president is not just resetting the table, he's oversetting years, decades worth of table setting. go ahead. >> i think it's the big corporate america voices that were very strong in those years when american corporations decided to turn attentions overseas, accessing cheap
5:09 pm
overseas labor and accessing growing consumer markets. that's certainly the case in china. the big companies of america said, hey, let's ignore china's stealing of intellectual property. ignore the tariffs, et cetera. we want into the markets and i would say that applies elsewhere also. but really, there is no excuse for it. liz: stay on that point. tariffs, three pieces of it. tariffs, it's taking intellectual property by china, but it's also trade barriers. regulatory red tape. that's what the president is talking about too, right? >> absolutely. and i think in the eu, you could find 100 examples where they conjured up mystifying health standards and red tape that basically excludes american companies for no good reason whatsoever. look, everyone in the world is acting like the united states is doing something heinous by protecting our self-interest. every country works to their own self-interest. that's what germany does. that is what france is doing. the reason they're so miffed is
5:10 pm
because all of a sudden the united states is doing the same thing, too. guess what, folks? we cannot afford the largesse that we have shovelled out to the rest of the world over the last 30 years and it's time for a change. liz: liz, in the eu, there are no trade tariffs among the eu nations between each other or trade barriers. they have underfunded nato, that's what the president has talked about. france's macron threatening the u.s. that the g7 could function as a g6 saying the american president not mind being isolated but sign a sixth country agreement. your reaction? >> i laughed out loud that merkel and macron were threatening to sign a deal, an agreement, a joint statement without the united states, and my reaction was as if donald trump cares. you know? is it terrible that we left out a one communique from an
5:11 pm
organization that basically does not very much in terms of these communiques and says not very much. no. there are larger issues at work here. liz: it's like the davos of canada. >> really. liz: let's get to the next case, move onto this issue. the president set to leave the g7 summit early to travel to singapore for the historic meeting with north korea's kim jong-un but the media saying president trump, basically misquoted him saying president trump is not preparing for it. watch. >> president trump saying there's no need to do a lot of prep work for next week's historic summit for north korea. that doesn't seem to bother his secretary of state. >> president trump said yesterday he's not doing much to get ready for a meeting with the dictator of north korea. >> whether or not he's 100% involved in the preparation, that's a big open question because the president said it's not about preparation, it's about attitude. >> at the very least, do your homework, mr. president. liz: he did say i am preparing for it but don't need to prepare for it, it's about
5:12 pm
attitude. we have a free associating president. here's the president, that's what's going on. but he is saying he's prepared for it and has been getting briefings. let's listen to what the president said before he left for the g7. >> i've been preparing all my life. i always believe in preparation, but i've been preparing all my life. you know these one week preparations? they don't work. just ask hillary what happened to her in the debate. liz: let's think about this, liz, mike pompeo, mattis, john kelly, didn't prepare the president at all. they're going to go in there flying blind. so we're supposed to believe the media on that? >> no. i think this is part of a narrative that donald trump is unprepared. he's unscheduled, unintellectual. and the narrative again is he doesn't read the briefing books but does read four newspapers every day. does read the briefing book in terms of how it's presented to him. this conversation with north
5:13 pm
korea has been going on for a year. do we think in that time he's not gotten up to speed on the issues, the history and the requirements of a north korea sitdown? i think he's probably very well versed and in a way, though, he's right. he's going to be able to tell pretty quickly whether there is any movement on the central issue and that is denuclearization of the peninsula. i frankly think it's an incredibly tough thing to imagine this regime stepping back from the sole ambition they have carried through on 30 or 40 years? we shall see. liz: liz peek, we love having you on. >> thank you. liz: saudi arabia starting to ramp up oil output ahead of next opec meeting. the "wall street journal" reporting that saudi arabia began producing 100,000 barrels a day more last month. they've got plans to raise output again by at least that much. it's a shift from an earlier plan. remember problems with iran and
5:14 pm
venezuela's supply. let's check your money, markets ending in the green despite all the trade fight talk to. susan li on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the latest. reporter: positive reversion to end the markets to end the week dow finishing close to session highs, up 75 points. s&p 500 gaining 8 points and the nasdaq in positive territory as well. one stock to highlight is apple. this morning we started off with news from the japanese nikkei news that he was asking to cut back 20%. apple falling with a lot of the suppliers saying broadcom, lumentum and the like. the dow gaining back, 25,000. and the nasdaq hitting record highs. next week, we're looking for the fed meeting and of course north korea summit as well.. liz: thank you, susan. look at this story.
5:15 pm
liberal silicon valley tech company google accused of treating the military as evil. they've launched a new set of corporate principles that said it will not let artificial intelligence be used in any u.s. military weapon. coming up, a guest who says they're putting our soldiers in danger. also tonight, president trump asking nfl players who want to kneel during the national anthem in protest to step up to the plate and send examples of people they think were unfairly treated by law enforcement. nancy pelosi, she's still on the crumbs watch. calling more things crumbs saying americans don't care. my next guest says this is a new level of resistance, but will it work in the midterms? coming up.
5:17 pm
5:19 pm
. >> unless we have an increase, a very significant increase in wages, bigger paychecks, we are going to increase the frustration of american families because they'll be saying hip, hip, hooray, unemployment is down. what does it mean to me in my life? this isn't about unemployment rate, it's about wages rising in our country so that consumer confidence is restored. because our economy will never fully reach its possibilities unless we increase the consumer confidence. liz: house minority leader nancy pelosi today scoffing at economic and job growth and getting it wrong again. notably on consumer confidence. let's go through the numbers, wages growing nearly 3%
5:20 pm
year-over-year. jobs at an 18-year high and consumer confidence at 18-year high. created since trump was elected. you may see 4% growth the next time that number is reported, july 27th. let's bring in gary b. smith and owner of the company the stock swoosh, melissa arwell. what do you think, gary b., nancy pelosi getting passed as house speakership again and getting past trump? >> i respect her to one regard. she sticks to message. trump cannot do anything wrong! and she sticks to it. here's the funny thing, you talked about the metrics, people evaluate their own economic goodwill based on three prong, they have a job, making money? is their house worth anything? yes, yes, and yes, more so a lot than when obama was in office. i don't know what metrics she would like at this point.
5:21 pm
liz: melissa, it's been said the democrats' policy is like a "seinfeld" episode where nothing is happening. these are opportunistic and offbase. democrats got the open fire hydrant spending they wanted under obama, right? look at the growth. >> i think people that truly want the democrat party to be in charge go to bed every night she will retire. she says things that don't make sense, even if you don't follow politics, and you are a regular person and get up and watch the news once a week on the weekends, you will say this lady doesn't make sense. how can she take something so positive and make a negative. people are saving money in taxes, even though if they're not making more, wages haven't risen, they are seeing more money in the paycheck because they're paying less in taxes which has been since january. wages, it will take time for wages to go up. that's the process. it's not going to happen overnight. liz: who do you believe? me or lying eyes?
5:22 pm
nancy pelosi pushing aside the up-and-coming democrat moderate as the democratic party is pushed to the left by bernie sanders saying gary b., his socialist ideas are winning. listen. >> the truth of the matter is what we have been focusing on is grassroots activism. doing extremely well. >> why aren't the candidates winning? . >> my god, they're winning all over the country. >> you had a lot of guys lose too, i don't think you are at .500. >> the grassroots level, more and more people are getting involved. liz: he didn't talk about job growth policies, almost like bernie sanders stubbornness has drained him and the democrats about common sense about what works. >> delusional fantasy, it's like people are saying yes, the economy is good, willing to say that but obama set the table. trump has done everything opposite of obama. liz: obama did get us out of
5:23 pm
downturn, right? with government spending and fed health. >> i view those eight years, liz, as the great malaise. what was the gdp growing? barely 2% a year? 1% a year? it was really just horrible. not horrible times, he got us out of the worst of, it but for sanders' point, like pelosi, what socialist ideas are you talking about. >> that work. liz: that work. >> if the message doesn't work, it is essentially take from the rich and give to the poor. that's all they government. the only message, and doesn't get both. liz: can you explain to the viewer how socialist aspects are already in this capitalist economy? medicare, medicaid, social security, right, gary? >> exactly. all the programs that are broke or going to be broke are active. >> way back in fdr, i don't think the programs were meant to be permanent. liz: temporary. >> right, people have come to rely on them, trump's trying to
5:24 pm
say go out, get a job because you're going to be better in the long run if you work rather than getting the help from the program. some people still really need them. liz: can we put you on bernie sanders and nancy pelosi watch you two? >> we'd have to be on every day. every hour. liz: every hour, right! [laughter] we wouldn't mind. you are terrific. we hope you have a good weekend, love having you on. google again being accused of bically treating the military as evil. they launched corporate principles where google will not let artificial intelligence be used in the u.s. military. coming up, a guest who says they're putting our soldiers in danger. cnn's van jones accusing kim kardashian of giving president trump, quote, legitimacy. my next guest says the u.s. president is already legitimate. trump 2020 senior adviser
5:25 pm
katrina pierson is here! she's fired up and ready to react. don't go away. >> trump is the last person i thought would have done, this but he did. he knew this is the right thing to do. we started making wine in 1948... [sfx: bottle sounds on conveyor] one bottle at a time. today, we produce nearly 20 million cases a year. chubb has helped us grow for the past 30 years... they helped us prevent equipment problems during harvest and provided guidance when we started exporting internationally. now we're working with them on cybersecurity. my grandfather taught me to make a wine that over delivers. chubb, over delivers. hi.i just wanted to tell you thdependability award for its midsize car-the chevy malibu.
5:26 pm
i forgot. chevy also won a j.d. power dependability award for its light-duty truck the chevy silverado. oh, and since the chevy equinox and traverse also won chevy is the only brand to earn the j.d. power dependability award across cars, trucks and suvs-three years in a row. phew. third time's the charm...
5:28 pm
. liz: breaking news. we've got headlines out of the g7 trade session in quebec. reuters reporting that the meeting had, quote, some emotions but it was civilized and diplomatic. when president trump was presented with facts and figures by the g7 leaders, the president countered with his own data and did not budgement also the g7 leaders understand president trump's trade position is due to domestic reasons but not because he doesn't understand trade policy issues. that's coming out of the g7 summit right now. we're going to bring you also breaking news as it comes into the studio. this story for you, cnn's van jones accusing kim kardashian of trying to give president
5:29 pm
trump, quote, legitimacy. >> trump is the last person i thought that would have done this, but he did, and he pulled through. he was compassionate. he was sympathetic to her. he knew that this is the right thing to do. >> number two, trump is using you as a political pawn, so now you're sort of, you've endorsed him in a way, given him legitimacy. you might be in a campaign video. he used you. >> i think kanye has already given him legitimacy so -- in that way. i don't think i would be used. and at the end of the day, he heard me out. we got the job done. so i don't think like what could he really use me for? liz: let's get to the issue at hand. kim kardashian asked president trump to grant clemency to a nonviolent drug offender behind bars for over 21 years, serving a life without parole sentence,
5:30 pm
a nonviolent drug offender who happened to be a grandma, too. check out cnn's stock. kim kardashian is a pawn now? your reaction. >> i'm confused by this one, van jones himself was at the white house participating in a prison reform event that led to the passage of a piece of legislation in the house of representatives two weeks before kim kardashian's visit. of course she's going to come and make her case to the president and the president executed masterfully. this is only the logic on planet cnn that could come forth. van jones must assume that a legitimate president is only legitimate if he's working on issues important to you, which would speak volumes about president obama. liz: to your point, katrina, could someone say to van jones president trump is using you, van jones as a political pawn and you are giving legitimacy to the president? >> yeah, i mean that's what's so confusing here.
5:31 pm
cnn can't have it both ways and to go to show you how chaotic it is at cnn. the day of kim kardashian's visit, cnn's white house correspondent was reporting that the meeting was -- didn't lack any sense and it wasn't realistic. jim acosta owes kim kardashian and alice johnson and her family an apology. liz: jim acosta did blast kim kardashian's trip to the white house as kim kardashian just being another celebrity visit, watch. >> forget about the fact that kim kardashian is at the white house today and what planet that is resembling anything normal because it's not. she shouldn't be here talking about prison reform. it's nice she's here. that's not a serious thing to have happened here at the white house. liz: jim acousta saying kim kardashian doesn't belong there talking about prison reform. the grandmother released from prison and because president trump pardoned her, alice johnson thanked president trump
5:32 pm
for giving her a second chance on life. i didn't know cnn's jim acosta was the gatekeeper at the white house. >> you know what, liz? jim acosta is right oplanet cnn, it's not normal for americans to advocate for policy changes and see the policies come to fruition. kim kardashian is an american. she wanted president obama to do it and he didn't. once again, the president of the united states is coming through on his promises and he is doing the right thing. person that kim kardashian described in her interview is definitely donald trump the man we all know. liz: katrina pierson, thanks for coming in, appreciate it. >> thank you. liz: president trump fighting to get trade deals for our nation's farmers calling out justin trudeau over protective trade barriers. look at this. we have an american farmer here to react and google being accused of treating the military as evil. a new set of corporate principles won't let artificial intelligence be used in any
5:33 pm
military weapon. kurt schlichter says they're putting our military in danger. after this. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your seat height to its maximum level. bravo, tall meeting man. start winning today. book now at lq.com you wouldn't accept from any one else.ay. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion,

5:37 pm
this after google announced it would let pentagon contract expire. saying of the new principles -- let's take a check of the stock of google ending fractionally down. let's bring in retired u.s. army colonel kurt schlichter. google's motto is do no evil, like there's a see no evil mentality in silicon valley. does google think there is no evil to fight in the world? >> liz, i am disgusted! this is disgraceful and it is despicable. the greatest engine of freedom, peace and justice in human history is the united states military. more people are alive. more people are free because of the exertions of better men and women than these silicon valley
5:38 pm
nerds around the world. it is so outrageous. liz: kurt, i've never seen you so fired up. you're really fired up over this. >> this is lies, this is the lives of the men and women i was honored to lead. every american should do everything they can to support our country's defense. you know, i wouldn't expect these hipsters to put on a uniform, to pick up a rifle and go toe-to-toe with the enemy like so many men and women are doing right now. you know, liz, when your country calls, the only response is sir, yes, sir. liz: you know colonel schlichter, i'm going to call you from now on. show how artificial intelligence can help on the battlefield. i want your reaction. reduces civilian collateral damage. protects the troops, maintains u.s. military superiority, but before we get your reaction. let's listen to wounded warrior veteran double amputee johnny
5:39 pm
jones, he's going to agree with you, kurt, listen to him talk about the google controversy. >> to defend our country is to keep the people within this country safe. if that comes to the point of war, most of the time, if not every time, that's not our decision, that's our enemy's decision, we're a benevolent country and one of the largest and most powerful country because we treat others with respect in that manner. we don't send our men and women to war for no good reason. to say you have a defense contract means you are killing people or doing something immoral is saying everyone who raises their right hand in defense of this country is partaking in something immoral. i take offense to that and good riddance, i hope there are people that want to help us out. liz: your reaction, google thinks the military is immoral, effectively? >> i succeed in the military because of the wisdom of noncommissioned officers like sergeant jones there. he cuts right to the chase.
5:40 pm
he understands exactly what this means. the use of the a.i. technology they have means fewer americans are wounded, fewer americans are dead, fewer american families have to bury their child. it is despicable what these people in silicon valley are doing to the country that nurtured them, that protects them and made their success possible. i couldn't be more outraged. and you know what? this is just another, another example of silicon valley mindlessly turning america against them. silicon valley, you are running out of friends. liz: all right, colonel kurt schlichter. so sorry we get you upset for the weekend. i hope you have a good one. >> i'll go home. liz: give your dog bitey a hug for me. good to see you, colonel. president trump asking nfl
5:41 pm
players to step up and send examples of people they think are unfairly treated by law enforcement. the media thinks that's outrageous. but first president trump defending the nation's farmers calling out justin trudeau's tariff and trade barriers. we wondered how american farmers feel about this so we are bringing in liberty farm's martha bonita. she's reacting after this. see that's funny, i thought you traded options. i'm not really a wall street guy. what's the hesitation? eh, it just feels too complicated, you know? well sure, at first, but jj can help you with that. jj, will you break it down for this gentleman? hey, ian. you know, at td ameritrade, we can walk you through your options trades step by step until you're comfortable. i could be up for that. that's taking options trading from wall st. to main st. hey guys, wanna play some pool? eh, i'm not really a pool guy. what's the hesitation? it's just complicated. step-by-step options trading support from td ameritrade

would need braces because his teeth were coming in funny. this is the picture that was on the front page of the newspaper. all you can notice is the braces! then, once he got to michigan state, he broke the retainer! my bottom teeth, they were really crooked, and i just wasn't getting braces again. then i discovered smiledirectclub. it's easy to just grab it and go and i can change it on the road. i did photoshoots with my aligners in and you can't see them. a smile is a first impression, that's why i think having a great smile is so important. . >> all of these countries have been taking advantage of the united states on trade. you saw what canada charges our dairy farmers. 270% tariffs. they're trying to act like we fought with you in the wars. they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers against our farmers. they don't mention the fact that they're charging almost 300% tariffs. when it all straightens out,
5:45 pm
we'll all be in love again. liz: president trump defending the nation's farmers calling canadian prime minister justin trudeau, quote, indignant over his requests. let's bring in liberty farms owner martha boneta. great to have. >> you great to be on the show. liz: what's going on with the reaction of the president at the g7 summit? >> the president is protecting our hard working farmers that are the back bone of america. for far too long there hasn't been a fair playing field and president trump is bringing everybody to the table to create a fair playing field. here we have canada imposing 270% tariffs on dairy and creating barriers for the united states, for american family farmers to enter the marketplace in canada. and donald trump is coming to the table, calling out the hypocrisy and protecting our hard working farmers that are the best in the world and the most competitive but because of the barriers, prevented from
5:46 pm
entry. and by the way, it's not just dairy, dairy to pork, sausages, grains to linens. liz: we're going to show the table of the other canadian tariffs on u.s. imports. you were there, martha, you are doing this work with you and your colleagues and your family every day. how unfair is it the way canada treats u.s. farmers? >> absolutely unfair. liz: can you give us details. >> well, sure. farming is backbreaking work, it's a labor of love. and it's true stewardship of the land. for canada to on the one hand say they're all about fair trade, and then slap our president and claim that he's not about fair trade is such hypocrisy when they're evenng hard-working americanarme f to enter into free tradeh canada. with our products. liz: you guys see that? you are having a hard time getting your products into
5:47 pm

these demands. and is it true, martha, in your sense that for the first time in decades or years, we have a president saying, you know what, we're going to do the same? >> absolutely. levels the playing field for far too long. the united states has not had a fair playing field in the marketplace, and our president, donald trump is make america first. making our farmers first. that's exactly what we're seeing play out now with the tariffs. liz: martha boneta thank you so much for coming in. appreciate it. >> thank you. liz: okay, this story for you. president trump asking nfl players who want to kneel during the national anthem to step up and send him examples of people they think were unfairly treated by law enforcement. but the media is outraged at the president's request. bringing in lawrence jones to react to the details. after this. man: i got scar tissue there. same thing with any dent or dings on this truck. they all got a story about what happened to 'em. man 2: it was raining,

. >> you have a lot of people in the nfl in particular, but in sports leagues, they're not proud enough to stand for our national anthem. i don't like that. i'm going to ask them to recommend to me people that were unfairly treated. friends of theirs or people that they know about and i'm going to take a look at those applications and if i find, and my committee finds they're unfairly treated, then we will pardon them or at least let them out. liz: president trump asking nfl players who want to kneel during the national anthem to send examples of people they think were unfairly treated by law enforcement. a check of nfl tv ratings down 10% year-over-year blamed on the increase in streaming. a lack of marquee matchups and

the anthem protests. lawrence reuters is reporting that the president is looking at 3,000 cases that might deserve clemency. your reaction there? >> this is the donald trump i know. i have been put in a tough position because i believe we should stand for the anthem. i understand when it comes to criminal justice reform things that need to be done in the criminal justice system. i knew president trump before he became president, people he had relationships with in the count, hip-hop stars, athletes, actors, they had a way of communicating with each other. i'm proud to see my president. this is what i've been calling for, to bring the athletes in, not only to commute sentences but criminal justice reform at large. this is the president being the president of the united states and leading from the front. liz: you know, to your point, lawrence, the president criticized for calling nfl

players s.o.b.'s, personally attack them. that was the criticism there. eagles malcom jenkins saying the president is not listening. now it seems that the president is listening. go ahead. this is the history of donald trump. he does listen. i knew him before he became president, before he decided to get involved in politics, and i've been waiting for that moment, liz. i understand the president's perspective. he's a product of america. i don't think americans are used to see a commander in chief that has such american pride. so the anthem protests put him in a sticky situation, but you got to listen to the american people and what they see, and i'm telling you from people in my community that have had negative experience, not with all cops, but some of them, i think the president is showing he's willing to listen, and i would encourage all these supposedly leaders within my community to step back and allow the president to talk

man-to-man with some of these athletes. ones that want to accept the invitation. liz: lawrence, i don't know, if nfl viewers want to go into another season with the protests where. is unity on this. how will it end? is there an ending to this? >> i think the only end is the commander in chief say hey, this is an issue that i'm looking at personally. great thing about this commander in chief, liz, is that he has cut through all the bureaucracy. he's not listening to all these advisers and the a.g. who to pardon. president goes by his gut. he allowed people to bring to the table what they feel was injustice, he reads it and makes a decision. not waiting until the end of his administration. if he says he's going to look at something and evaluate, it he's going to do it. liz: lawrence, you pointed out, forgive me, there is injustice, there are problems out there. that's what these athletes are

protesting. that's why they're stepping up. the point is, though, why do it the the moment of respecting the national anthem and the flag for our soldiers who basically died fighting for their freedom of speech. so seems like they're still at odds. i'm just wondering is this going to stop because both sides, are they going to start listening to each other? go ahead. >> i think they do. it's important to understand the history behind the anthem protest. at one point it was only five players that were kneeling, and then when the president made his comment about firing the s.o.b.'s it was over 200 players doing it. i think there is common ground that the president acted on the issue. liz: have a great weekend. thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you so much, liz. liz: we'll have more updates from the g7. we'll have details after the break.
