manufacturers to sell abroad. in recent weeks donald trump slapped billions of dollars in tariffs on china and the eu citing national security concerns, unfair trade practices and the need for reciprocal market access but the eu retaliated hitting the us with higher tariffs on motorcycles and bourbon. beijing responded targeting us ag products including corn, pork and poultry but administration officials insist short-term discomfort will be outweighed by increased fairness were american workers. the us census bureau reported the us goods and services deficit was $43 billion in may, that is down from april. >> these trade issues didn't occur overnight. donald trump is determined to have free, fair and more balanced trade. >> the administration is touting robust jobs outlook with 3.2 million new jobs created

elected president with the intention of impeaching him if he got elected or to skew the election so hillary clinton could win. the only place to go from here is the president must declassify the 19 pages being requested by the house intelligence committee, the abuse of power will continue and that is unspeakable. what could happen from here on out should frighten every american unless it is fixed. what needs to happen is the president needs to declassify these documents, the american people need to know the truth. rob: one member asked donald trump to step in and declassify these documents. jillian: iran firing back after donald trump fired at the terrorist regime, the white house refusing to back down. >> the president has been strong since day one in his language towards iran, the goal and focus of the president is making sure

middle east, donald trump knows who they are and exactly the types of denuclearization they are pushing. iran has been tampered by europe, given everything by europeans and no one challenged this country and it is time someone with some guts stand up to this guy. it is another refreshing step in the right direction. like we saw with north korea we will see the same backgrounds by the iranians and what the us people put trump in power would like to see with their leadership, strong national security. >> the uranium prime minister had this to say, quote, the world heard harsher bluster a few months ago and uranian's heard more civilized ones for 40 years, we have been around for millennia and seen the fall of empires including our own which lasted more than the life of some countries.

be cautious. do you think there is anything else donald trump could or should be doing? >> he is doing it exactly right, needs to continue to put pressure on this country but as far as tweets go by the iranians i can tell you from my intelligence when people start to respond the way the uranian's are responding it is because they are scared and when the us 500 pound gorilla starts to say enough with you, stop threatening us, don't mess with us because militarily and security wise we are a power beyond anything you guys have experienced backed by israeli intelligence community which is working closely than ever with the united states for these two countries to share intelligence and i think these reflexive tweets we are seeing from the iranians, their response is a psychological reaction to fear and that fear is the right direction.

>> this regime destroyed a great country. if that is what we are gearing toward would mean a mess and probably another government the united states would have to prop up. is that what we want? >> i do. first of all, regime change is a mess but not the first time we have seen it in iran. iran has gotten so politically corrupt because of their -- the uranian people, fundamentally been kept hostage. uranian's are fed up with it, tired of the uranian regime. women are tired of being told what to do and uranian's are tired of this regime and this regime change, we can see the beginnings of a regime change based on the posture we are seeing here.

brennan for politicizing his job. >> there is a great danger to having talking heads on tv who are ex-cia agents with classified clearance. jillian: mike baker brought this on himself, we focus on that live.

>> donald trump mulling a move to scrap the security clearances of top obama era officials after rand paul accusing former cia director john brennan of politicizing and monetizing his position. >> there is great danger to having talking heads on tv who have classified clearance. there is a real danger they might inadvertently reveal classified information. john brennan has a history of

this. rob: joining me with reaction is cia operative mike baker. you listen to rand paul he makes a pretty good point that sounds logical but when you look at this list of the six people the president wants to maybe take away that clearance from, you see a lot of his worst enemies. that makes people think this is political. >> it certainly appears that way. he is in uncharted territory here. on both sides. we have never seen this public animosity and criticism from former heads of the intel community, john brennan, tremendous experience. the fact that he is out there and so vocal is unusual, extremely unusual. now that you have got director

comey and mccabe who don't have security clearances anymore so this appears to have been fired off without a lot of thought so it does appear vindictive on his part. rob: he has 4 million people with security clearances into million with top-secret clearances. and the cottage industry, and retain clearances and use that as a hiring element at an attractive point for commercial companies, they don't have to front the cost and time of sponsoring somebody with their clearances but at that level it is a different game and a different situation. we are in uncharted territory. rob: when i make this 1 million with the secret clearance? i will say i think a lot of people found when james comey wrote the book after he got out

that seemed like almost direct the profiting, he is a moot point. the question, are they being paid by these networks, for their experience or are they being paid for their current access? that is where it gets a little murky. are they paid for what they know? >> my experience is they are getting paid for their reputation and when you have someone coming out who was a former director that is the attractiveness. the argument sometimes is we want them to retain their clearances at the senior level and fact as pseudo-mentors and advisors and incoming intel leaders. it is a 1-way conversation that they are not sharing the current

administration with former leaders. it is a matter of reputation as they get hired and they go on to the network. they are not passing classified information but this is something that rand paul wanted to bring this up. it is much like other situations out of the administration. it is unusual messaging and the messaging drives this anger from the other side. they could have simply said internally we are displeased with the way these people are talking. people have a right to talk. when it comes time for clearances to expire we will renew them, that happens all the time. it is a messaging issue. rob: the comment from brennan talking about how trump was receptive at the meeting in helsinki, that is what rand paul is trying to get at. we appreciate your time.

you can't get to the end of the other side if you don't have those conversations. rob: haley defending the style of the 1-on-1 meeting saying that gets things done, she remains focused on the president's actions and not his controversial remarks. north korea appears to be taking a major step in fulfilling a commitment to donald trump to get rid of its nuclear weapons. according to the report new satellite images show key facilities used to develop ballistic missiles being taken apart. the white house said kim jong un is committed to giving up the weapons but did not give specific time. jillian: the first lady on the road today. milania trump visiting at children's hospital in vanderbilt, tennessee, she will spend time with patients in a neonatal intensive care unit and participate in a roundtable discussion about babies who are born addicted to drugs.
