>> michael cohen pleaded guilty to lying to congress saying he made false statements. >> very simply michael cohen is lying and trying to get a reduced sentence for things that have nothing to do with me. >> one tree. you have so many trees here and hallways to decorate. >> it's the theme of american treasures. brian: here we go with a fox news alert. moments ago the president of the united states kicked off the g-20 summit just like he promised to land in ar argentina, he has done just that he has actually met with the argentinian leader who by the way he says he had a relationship with by the way we built the west side yards together in new york city. ed: he knew his father and said he was a good looking man. ainsley: good morning to everyone at home. steve is down in nashville he will be live at kid rock's steak house down there. but you are looking at video of argentina. the g-20 summit is kicking off this morning.

we saw video probably about an hour ago the president of argentina. ed: this is a live look now this is where the president is going to signed new nafta with canada and mexico. we will be going there live of course. ainsley: that's right. when he was there with the president of argentinena, he said we have been friends for a longer time. i knew his dad. we helped build the hudson yards together. we have been long time friends. is he a handsome man. little did i know i would be doing business with his son. brian: the usmca is going to be signed in a short while. this happened about a hour ago. ed: ahead of their breakfast. brian: is he going to be doing business and major meeting of the day will be -- not of the day but of the g-20 summit the chinese leader. i don't think there is any doubt about that. putin meeting has been cancelled. >> that's going to be kiran over the weekend with the chinese president xi. obviously wall street looking at and it the world looking at it to see whether

there will be a deal on tariffs. ainsley: it's 7:00 a.m., our president the prime minister of canada justin trudeau and the president of mexico his last day in office those three leaders will be on stage participating in the signing ceremony of the new nafta deal. brian: here is what i find a little bit disturbing. usmca seems to have widespread agreement much better deal than the nafta deal which even if you loved nafta in the 80s it's got to be updated in 2018. ed: all the critics said he would never be able to do it. brian: pass it at least bring it up. already senator elizabeth warren says i don't like it. maybe she doesn't know why she doesn't like it other democrats are behind it other democrats will say i don't think so. i want some nuances to worker rights in different nations. ainsley: after they sign the deal, then each government, each three governments have

to ratify that deal. it would be much easier to ratify it if it goes through now during lame duck session because republican have the house and senate. ed: trying to attack these issues. can you rudy giuliani was furious once again second time before a major foreign trip there was a development in the mueller case. a new deal with michael cohen the president's former attorney. the president tweeting about this a short time ago because cohen had admitted he lied to congress about a russian real estate deal that never really came together. the president treating a short time ago. i get it. i have a very good developer, happily living my wife when i see our country going the wrong direction to future mildly, against all odds. i decide to run for president and continue to my my business, very legal and very cool. talked about it on the campaign trail. talked about doing a building in russia. put up zero money, zero guarantees and didn't do the project.

witch-hunt. you can see where the president stands this morning. ainsley: he said he was protecting the president when he lied to the senate intel committee. he said that the project was supposed to -- he said it ended in january of 2016. the talks did. now he is saying it ended in june of 2016. the president said yesterday even if we were continuing the talks it wasn't illegal because i was still running. it was during the campaign. we will talk to the experts today to find out if that's the case. brian brian question, moscow project. if you look at what the president has done. if you read the books. russia roulette, michael one of the authors. depressive look the president was always interested in developing things internationally especially in moscow. in the 1980s he says this thing has tremendous potential i would love to building is here. goes back in the 1990s i would love to building is here. '96 starts moving forward and never gets off the ground like many russian projects. 2015 he said i would like to building is here the so-called moscow project and

even outlined what it would be like. have condos offices. luxury building. types of location he is. there is nothing wrong with that when you look at the trump organizations 24 domestic properties in nine different states. nine international properties in six different countries. places like cutter, a building in turkey that's what he was doing for a living. the thing that is different about it is the president just came out and said yeah, the moscow project i have been talking about it, i have been signing leases while i have been run for president. doing fire codes while i'm running for president. i stopped talking about it in june of 2016. instead he said i stopped talking about it in january of 2016. the project never got off the ground. but the michael cohen situation is -- michael cohen was having contacts in moscow. michael cohen doesn't get paid many people said unless he pulls off deals like this. so was moving forward. there is no smoking gun here. but if the president had been more transparent and

said i stopped talking about that in june. i told everyone to put that aside. that's the truth. in january they actually told us it stopped but it didn't stop until june. ed: special counsel robert mueller the mandate is to investigate russian interference in the 2016 campaign. everything you just laid out. business deals the president has been working on for years. you have to wonder whether this is -- how big of a deal this is. what else michael cohen told the special counsel he talked to him something like 70 hours behind closed doors. there could be more coming. the mainstream media is turning this into yet again we heard this before. the walls are closing in. it's all over. watch. >> today is the first day i thought donald trump might not finish his term in office. this thing is enormous. >> this is the tip of the iceberg. >> once is he out of office this will not stop either. >> every ambitious attorney in new york is not going to stop until they take this empire apart. >> today is a good day for

donald trump to resign. >> feels like much more ominous moment for the white house. if mueller is proceeding without being throttled and stymied and proceeding at this kind of a pace rolling out this kind of stuff right now, everything is aiming right at the president personally and that's got to be very unsettling for them. >> it's shakespearian because somebody who said he would take a bullet for donald trump is now pointing the gun at him. ed: that sound bite from msnbc was probably the most honest one saying every prosecutor that wants to get donald trump is going to continue for years trying to take this empire down. that's what they're trying to do. they are saying it right out that they want to take the business down not just the president. brian: here is alan dershowitz on the big picture. >> the problem is mueller is straying away from his mandate to find crime. he is now looking for political sin. building buildings in moscow, using stolen material from assange. these are not crimes. he has no authority to be a

roving commissioner to find political sins. so far i don't see any evidence of crimes except for ones he helped to facilitate by getting people to lie in front of his own investigators. brian: basically what he is saying is what they are trying to do and andy mccarter was able to decipher this a little bit on the radio with us. what mueller is trying to do is trying to say hey, there was some surrogates of the president, talking to julian assange about the document dump there were business dealings with russia. and he's going to try to tie that together, believe it or not, with the trump tower meeting. now, michael cohen never went to issue are a. the president never went to russia. in these seven-page documents they talk about possibly doing that i'm sure the president could say yeah i possibly was going to do a business deal in germany and another in saudi arabia and another one in turkey. that's what i was doing all along. this is, they say, mueller is going to paint the scenario where the trump tower meeting, the contacts and the moscow deal was all

somehow simmering behind the hacking of john podesta's email. ainsley: he liked your show so much yesterday he is coming on the show today. if vladimir putin had some information on our president, wouldn't our president have continued that meeting down at the g-20 summit? would he have cancelled that? that's a question that came to mind for me. and also the timing of all of this. because the president just turned in his written responses and then michael cohen does this right after those written responds. ed: they were sitting on it he talked to mueller over the summer in august. they didn't want to reveal what they had from michael cohen. they wanted to get the answers from the president. then they revealed. this we will see what other cards they have. the president's legal team there is nothing that michael cohen said yesterday that conflicts with the president's answers. that's key. brian: yep. meanwhile a fox news alert. tijuana's mayor taking aim at the organizers of the

caravan. sitting down for interview with fox news as thousands of migrants in this city are trying to gain entry into the united states. ed: griff jenkins sem bedded with the caravan down in mexico. he joining us from tijuana with more from that one-on-one interview. good morning, griff. griff: good morning, guys. the mayor calls a humanitarian crisis. look around. we have been looking around. you see a baby stroller, standing water, soaked, clothes. it's unbelievable as we walk along here. we even found in some of this trash there is medicine, toothbrush. all sorts of important things. but want you to quickly see this shot. that is the actual encampment. costing the mayor $30,000 a day. the mayor says he has run out of funds he can't go beyond this weekend without federal funds. and he says that he blames the organizers for this mess. >> they are really criminals because they are dealing with lives. they are dealing with people. it's a federal crime. if you -- they asked me do

you know who they are? no, i don't know. but just look at the films. look at them and you will find who are they? griff: when he says films. part of what is he talking about that situation on sunday when they rushed the border. he worries and hopes that doesn't happen again as these people become more desperate. he said that six hour shut down on sunday cost the tijuana people over $6 million. meanwhile there is a hunger strike of sorts for a small handful of folks. that seems to be relatively shut down at this point, guys. brian: griff, you have more of that interview a little bit later, right? griff: yeah. we talked about a whole lot and who he blames and what he says is the real challenge and that is the fact that when he looks for the bad actors in it, the criminals, it's the humanitarian folks here that will not allow them to ask them who they are. ed: whole story down there. remember the veteran whose

trump 2020 flag destroyed by vandals guess who just sent him a new one? ainsley: wondering where steve is thi this morning? he is live in nashville at kid rock's new trawnt. hey, steve. good morning, ainsley and brian and ed. you know, we put out the word, please people, show up in downtown.

♪ brian: president trump slamming his former attorney michael cohen who is now pleading guilty to lying about proposed trump project in moscow the extent and length to which the negotiations were going on. does this lead robert mueller any closer to collusion? here to weigh in fox news contributor andy mccarter. andy, what changed after the revelations about cohen saying i lied to congress? >> the only thing that changes, brian, really is political. it's not legal.

during the campaign the trump campaign conveyed the message that the president, the now president had nothing to do with russia no. deals no, negotiations and it turns out that they had a major deal and big negotiations. but none of that is a lie to anything in the sense of anything that's legally actionable. and none of it shows involvement in russia's interference in the 2016 election. brian: cohen talks about higher contacts we think it's fee his satter is number two. number one is donald trump. we think it's felix satter. it looks like they had higher up and more talks. it doesn't show anything. you have a businessman looking to do an international business deal with a country that might have been ameanable to that. that country we were having a fallout with and the president is speaking kindly about which had a lot of people scratching their head. that plays into it, correct?

>> yeah. that's exactly right. i mean, if they had been forth right about what the nature of the business was, what probably would have happened in the campaign is that would have head more attention on, you know, the russian contacts with the clinton foundation and the payments that went to clinton people from russia and it probably would have been a big hall la boo lieu for a week and we would have moved on to something else. the way stands now. what you have is the campaign is saying we have nothing to do with russia. turns out they had more to do with russia than they said. but it doesn't mean that what they h to go with russia was a crime that's the bait and switch game that's gone on from the beginning. this investigation was supposed to be about trump's complicity no putin's hacking of the democratic email accounts since they had not been able to approve that. they shifted to any kind of collusive activity. any kind of concerted

arrangements between russia and trump. so, then, the media tells everybody mueller is investigating trump collusion with russia. and in connection with that investigation, a number of trump associates have pled guilty and a number of russians have been indicted. and what they don't tell you is the trump people who pled guilty, that doesn't have anything to do with russia's interference nut election. and the indictments against the russians don't have anything to do with the trump campaign. brian: and there is no proof. and there is no saying here president trump said to michael cohen lie. he didn't because it would have appeared in these documents already. not much has changed despite what cohen did yesterday except for cohen is trying to get some leniency. andy, this is just scratching the surface. we will look forward to talking to you again. >> yep. you have got it thanks, brian. brian: you got it appreciate you getting up early for us. controversy swirling over reports the v.a. would not pay for gi bill benefits. we have a big update on that story. plus, speaking of

[. [cheers and applause] steve: what a show. ed: never ask a question you don't know the answer.

to say sounds like they are more excited about kid rock. ainsley: very excited about both. ed: live with pictures in argentina. ainsley: we are awaiting our president to sign the usmca trade agreement with canada and mexico. three podiums there the leaders of all three countries will be there to sign it. brian: even including the outgoing president of mexico. term limited out only get one six year term. the more liberal they say leader will be taking over. but they have been clued and negotiating together in tandem in cooperation. they will announce this new deal which has got to have farmers, especially, very happy that they work this out because there is a lot of nervousness because of way we basically have taken down the borders when it comes to trade between the three countries. ainsley: you can see the media trying to get their places. of the president was supposed to do this at 7:00 running a few minutes behind. looks like the desk on the left is where they will be signing it. ed: they may take questions from reporters there our

reporter kevin corke is live on the scene from buenas are a reiss at the g-20 summit. good morning, kevin. >> packed day, indeed. if you watched our g-20 coverage before standard fare including the upcoming family photo. we are looking forward to what promised to be a day at the g-20. saw the president for the first time. he the opportunity to meet with the president of argentina. the two men exchanged warm wishes and that set the stage for what they hope will be an incredibly productive summit. >> we have known each other a long while. we will be talking about lots of good things for argentina, for the united states, including trade. including military purchase. but this is a great honor to be with you. you are my friend, long time. great family, and you are doing a fantastic job and i want to con yat late you. >> thank you. >> as we take a look at the schedule, you see the usmca

signing coming up. the leaders of the u.s., canada and mexico. this effectively replaces nafta. doesn't really do very much different but does address according to u.s. officials some of the shortcomings of the previous agreement. later the president will have a meeting with the vice president of japan and meetings with india and austria. what will come of the u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum with respect to canada is of great interest here at the g 20. we will look ahead to the morning's signing and see what if anything comes from that the canadians have fought very hard to end those tariffs. ed: thanks kevin corke live in argentina. brian: i still was wondering why. i thought it was to push us to a deal. no one wanted to get a deal. okay, until we get a deal, this is going to be your tax. and now that we have a deal, do we still need that? ainsley: well, maybe not. maybe we will see this end now that they have signed this deal or sign it in a few minutes. once they sign it, it has to

go to each country and has to be ratified. ed: remember, this is a big achievement with president trump and even bigger deal would be a deal with china. that's on the sidelines of the g-20. what everyone will be looking at that dinner president trump is having with examin president xi. brian: in the senate you need two thirds to wrath it. that's going to be the challenge. if you want to know the paris accord turned over and iranian deal scrapped because president obama never went through congress. he didn't even get the majority in the senate let alone two thirds needed which makes it vulnerable if you are president trump you don't want to be in that situation again. ed: yeah. ainsley: president trump did cancel that meeting. he tweeted about canceling that meeting with vladimir putin. he is also weighing in on twitter about what happened yesterday with michael cohen. he was the president's former attorney. and he said that he -- once said he was going to take a bullet for president trump and now he is turning on the president and pleading guilty for lying to congress. ed: over a real estate deal that never really happened.

ainsley: right, right. ed: potential trump tower in moscow. ainsley: moscow project is what they called it president was talking with folks over in moscow. they were trying to form or build trump tower. and the president is saying even if that were the case, even because -- because michael cohen said he lied about the dates. the president said even if he was correct, even we were doing this deal, i didn't do anything illegal. michael cohen keeps changing his story. which michael cohen do you believe the president tweeted this. ed: this is what the president's allies said from the beginning this is what happens with special counsels. the mandate was to focus on alleged russian interference in the election. instead looking at business dealings and gone far afield. brian: what they're saying is the moscow project was not a secret. what they are saying is and michael cohen said it and all the paperwork inside the trumtrump organization has already been turned over. he doesn't use email.

it's all in paper and email. that's been turned over. the mueller probe theoretically already had this stuff to begin with. michael cohen is confirming what they knew is he was lying. ed: some big secret. they put it on the table. brian: who do you talk to and wants to set up this deal. not even a political deal a business deal and when did it stop? it stopped, michael cohen says i stopped talking about it in january. turns out there was communications until the spring of 2016. ed: that's right. brian: before the president locked up the nomination. ed: president tweeted it this morning oh i get it i'm a very good developer, happily living my life back in 2016 when i see our country going the wrong direction, to put it mildly, against all odds, i decided to run for president, and continued to run my business, very legal and very cool, talked about it on the trail. lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in russia. put up zero money, zero guarantees and didn't do the project. witch-hunt. he has made this case before. now he believes that while many in the mainstream media are saying he is finally on

the run. now they are going after the president. wait a second, guys, this was a business deal that never actually happened. ainsley: you would ask why would michael cohen do this? it is a plea deal. he is going to get sentenced and could get up to five years in prison by saying this and changing his story. by cutting a plea deal he could be getting lesser time by saying. this. brian: i don't know if you have ever bought a building in another country. ed: no. ainsley: nope. brian: or developed one top to bottom. ainsley: not even one in my country. brian: i don't think i have one in my portfolio i think it would have stood out because of paperwork i should have done and didn't. if you look back at what the president was interested. in soviet union, even thought there was potential in soviet union to talk about building is. they talk about in the 80 he and ivana, his first wife and went over to moscow and said we didn't get done. in the 90's let's get something done here. i don't know if you heard but didn't get done. in 2015 michael cohen went

out and starts looking at moscow project with this guy named felix satter partner with the president in trump tower soho. never got done just like that the bahamas and cayman islands didn't get done. big picture what does this mean a constitutional law professor folly weighed in. >> telling us how desperate mueller and his team has become. you know, after almost two years of investigating, spending millions of taxpayer dollars with the team of about 15 really aggressive exerptioned experiend lawyers there is no there there of trump-russia collusion. after going hard at high-level trump confidantes and campaign officials, mike flynn, george papadopoulos, carter page, paul manafort, rick gates and now michael cohen, the best they can manage to do is get single counts of perjury out of some of them.

so, it shows you that these process crimes are all they've got. they don't actually have any evidence of trump-russia collusion which was their mandate. ed: important point. i have been talking to people very senior in the trump world who have been telling me essentially paul manafort is in solitary confinement in virginia. he is there all day and take him out almost every day the mueller team for half hour, hour, and keep pressing him, pressing him. can you say this? can you say that? no, i don't have any evidence to that meaning collusion to that law professor's point. that's the same deal with michael cohen by the way. at least so far. we should caution that we don't know what else michael cohen told mueller. he talked to mueller's team for dozens of hours. based on what we saw yesterday, there is still no evidence of collusion. brian: right. ed: where this all started. brian: if the president came from the world of coaching or advertising they would be looking at connections to madison avenue or be looking at contacts with nfl owners. he has his international business connections. which prove a very big

challenge for those who are trying to look at people's background because, when you have investments in cutter. when you have investments in scotland and in ireland, as well as new york city and chicago, and florida, and his 18 golf courses, if people want to go through and find something that doesn't add up, you might be able to find something. i will say this. clearly it shows, let's find out what course he knows. let's find out what roger stone knows and michael cohen and paul manafort knows. see if we can create one story. the problem with the cohen story and trump tower meeting cohen was not involved with that at all. if you want to draw that circle, how do you do that when the person you've already shown as in the centercenter of this is not involved in that. ed: ainsley, what do you think? ainsley: i'm wondering about timing of all of this because he just turned in his written responses and all of this has come out. michael cohen waited until after that to go down to the courthouse in new york.

and lanny davis wasn't with him by the way. he had two other attorneys with him. also, with the g-20 summit, is there a connection there? i think we have mollie hemingway. we can ask her about this u mollie, is there anything to the timing of all of this. >> i don't know if there is a connection. i do remember that just before president trump met with putin at the hell sink summit there was a round of indictments that happened at that time. they should come when they come and i think it is worth remembering that the reason this was set up to investigate treasonous collusion with russia to steal an election. so we're getting all these process crimes, which is fine. you actually should -- if you lie to congress, you absolutely should be held accountable. we are not finding treasonous collusion with russia to steal an election. we are also having a problem where only one person who has lied to congress is being held accountable even though we have a lot of people who have done it even on the russia story. christopher steele was given a criminal referral. two senators did a criminal

referral of christopher steele who wrote that whole russia conspiracy document. they know he lied to federal investigators and they referred him. i haven't heard anything about it you have glenn simpson who was christopher steele's boss. he gave testimony that was in conflict what w. what bruce ohr a doj official gave. one of them at least is lying to congress. we haven't heard anything about that. you have -- it should not just be that one person gets in trouble for lying to congress. everybody should who does it. ed: what about kid gloves hillary clinton and cheryl mills and her team got in terms of whether her team was consistent. >> hillary clinton, we know from the naacp inspector general report that came out she lied to the fbi whether she knew how classified systems worked. they declined to charge her with a crime. something they have the right to do. if you are going to go easy on one political party. you should probably go ease i don't know 00 other one or conversely have the same standard whether it's one party or another. particularly since in this case we have so much evidence of the fbi being

engaged in a very political counterintelligence. ed: are you saying there should be equal justice under the law? >> good way for people to have confidence in the fbi if they play it straight no matter who is in front of them. brian: so, mollie, here is what adam schiff, the protagonist against the president says if the president and his associates were being untruthful in realtime as they were pursuing this deal, what does it mean now about how much we can rely on what the president is saying about any continuing russian financial interest? what do you say to that? >> well, i mean, if someone has evidence of something wrong, then they should bring that forward. but, in this country, we don't decide that someone is guilty and then go on a fishing expedition until they find something that they did. again, it's not that donald trump is a businessman that we need to find out. we already knew that we know is he a global businessman. what was alleged was treasonous collusion and not just this guy is someone we don't like so we are going to punish him and anyone who worked with him. that's a very stalinist type

approach to criminal justice. it's not how we're supposed to do things in this country. and also, adam schiff did something that i thought was inappropriate that people didn't point out. evidence said something about how the special counsel should handle the investigation u every time anyone on the right says anything about what the special counsel should do, we're told this is obstruction of justice. adam schiff came out and said that the special counsel needed to sit down and do an inperson interview with trump. nobody said anything about that even though he is the incoming head of the house permanent select committee on intelligence. so he should be careful when he is talking. ainsley: on that note, michael cohen pleads guilty and he thinks it's going to help him because it will make the president look bad. to your point the left media goes wild and says the president needs to step down today. but if there was nothing illegal here, if the president, no matter if they were still talking about it in the summer in 2016, and the date did change, if there is nothing illegal, how -- why would michael cohen do this? >> i don't actually

understand why he thought he needed to lie. i understand this really is a very political investigation and that makes people nervous, rightly so. but, you know, you should always make sure that when you are under oath you are telling the truth. but, all of these things that we have seen, almost everything related to the mueller probe. process crime which is not the standard that we should be demanding for something like this. or deals with stuff that was well before the campaign, you know, tax evasion from many, many years ago. and that's something you just want to be so careful about because it gives out impression that what's happening with this probe is that political enemies are upset that donald trump won and they are going to use the power of the state to go after people. brian: we saw that overstepping with the clinton probe all those years ago. ends up with 60 plus percent sage approval rating. mollie looking at argentina where the president is running a little late. they will make a formal announcement talking about the new nafta between these three countries.

we understand secretary of state mike pompeo is there. he might be coming out real shortly. real quick, this is pretty significant. what are the chances of ratification though? >> one of the things that's tricky about trade agreements you don't always know what's in them when they are debated and agreed upon by the country. then you have to get it ratified at least in the united states. it seems like this is a very healthy updating of nafta. people forget how many decades ago that was signed there are a lot of industries that were not really well developed when the original nafta was signed. and also you had some real uneven disparities where, you know, labor laws in the united states are much more stringent than in mexico which gave mexico an advantage when competing for factories but sometimes their labor standards were so low as to be an unfair advantage. so evening out some of these problems is something that was high time to do. and it sounds like all three countries have done a good job making it in each of their best interest. and that's exactly what you want to make this a powerful negotiating block versus the rest of the country.

ed: mollie, as we await the president's arrival there that live picture in argentina stay on it back to your point about the media and michael cohen, i seem to remember about a year ago when george papadopoulos pled guilty to lying and as you say people should tell the truth on either side of the aisle when they are confronted by the fbi or congress. but, at that time, it was roughly october 2017, you people in the media saying papadopoulos is flipping on the president. even though he was a low level advisor, the walls are closing in. and then he gets two weeks in jail. >> it's every single time there is anything like this we're told well, this is it, this is the end of the presidency and almost comical even earlier this week we were told that there was -- we had a smoking gun bombshell which was that paul manafort had secretly met with julian assange three times in three years and nobody had detected it and somehow the guardian newspaper had figured it out. well it turned out it wasn't true. as so many of these updates about russia are not true. and when you finally get

down to it, again, it's just these tiny little things versus what we were promised which was that putin had bought donald trump and he was in his debt. i mean, you don't have to be that smart to figure out that's not true just by looking at u.s. policy over the last couple of years. we have been very tough on russia and even just in recent weeks we're not happy with them and we are paving that way. ed: mollie, on that point do you acknowledge the president could have been toughery in helsinki. the president has helped with aid to ukraine which rush didn't want. brian: expelled multiple diplomats in this country. ed: he could have been tougher. >> he could have handled that situation much better. it's true we have had intelligence agencies playing games with this story since the very beginning. you might remember that they took seriously this, you know, frankly silly dossier. they briefed the president on it almost to threaten him

it sounded like just before he took office. i think there is a reason why he doesn't have the most trust in these intelligence agencies just because they haven't taken their role very seriously. they haven't behaved in a way that suggests that they are worthy of some of the powers that they hold. and it has not rebounded to their benefit i fear. ainsley: mollie, tell us about what is about to happen? they are about to sign the usmca we are with mexico and canada. how significant is that? >> i think it is, you know, we have had a lot of trade agreements that we have developed over the years. in general they have been beneficial. that doesn't mean they are going to be beneficial in perpetuity. sometimes you need to update things. this was something that absolutely needed updating. we were seeing that we had some -- we had lost some strategic advantages. we will need to go over all the details and make sure that it's working well. but, it's important, you know, for our position relative to the rest of the world that we have a good, strongs, north american block and we do.

it's good. it's not just important for economic reasons. it's also important for foreign policy. we have a rising china that has so much strength and has been able to frankly take advantage of the -- we sort of treated them like they were a free trade country even though they are not and they have benefited from that we need to be strong against that and this is part of being strong. brian: what i also think is going to be significant, it turns out there has been high level talks leading up to this dinner meeting with president xi of china. so a lot of people say if there is no preamble talks and prerequisite talks, don't look for much to get done. it turns out there have been high level talks. and the president is pushing and pulling. one minute he is in. one minute he is out. that's clearly a strategy. the world markets are looking at this. the president has got to go, i think, at this point for complete vick tri in that he has got to reconfigure the relationship we have across the board with china. this is the moment or else we might never have this moment again. >> i don't know. we are in a good position now. we might be in a good

position in the weeks or months to come as well. everything that we kind of talked about i don't mean today i mean overall. this is the term, this is the era. >> we have talked a lot about trade war and whether it's a good idea to get into a trade war or not. but the 25% tariffs that we're initiated by this administration, it turned out to be, according to a recent study that came out of the eu, china is ending up having to pay for most of those tariffs. american consumers and producers are only paying for 4.5% of those tariffs. because they chose products that were really smart to choose, that worked better in our interest than it was in china's interest. those tariffs are hurting china quite a bit. i think they are probably ready to start talking. they might be ready to talk in a few more months -- he had and china's economy is a perilous place right now. they are on defense. that's what he has been saying is he on offense on this. we should note ivanka trump has sat down there in the front row awaiting for the

president's arrival. john bolton the national security advisor has arrived as well. can you see ivanka trump that's a live picture right now greeting other dignitaries, a sign that the high level white house people are in the room now that we should be seeing the president and the other leaders. ainsley: jared kushner just got the highest award you can get from the president of mexico. steve: he ha ed: he has been a lead negotiator for the u.s. brian: i think we all agree that we expected ivanka to have a good seat. she does seem to have a good seat up front in all of these things. up front they will do the formal signing. i'm wondering justin trudeau and president had famous riff g 8 or g. he left and he didn't like the communique at the end that justin trudeau said. the president rescinded it. they left without one. i am wondering if these things overall -- because i know the president doesn't take it personally. he gets over the rand paul rift. marco rubio rift. obviously the lindsey graham 1%. here is your phone number. do you sense, mollie among

these leaders that it's not -- they are understanding that it's not personal for the president? there is the personality and then there is the deal. >> i don't know, actually, in this case. and justin trudeau seems kind of an emotional type world leader. but it is important that all countries work in their own national interest. that's a thing that makes sense for negotiation. it's something that is very different about this current era than we saw in previous decades. what is happening in the united states is something that you are seeing happening all over the world where people are demanding that economic trade deals around just in the interest of the elite power structure but that they work for the workers in the country as well. and that people are thinking through how trade agreements aren't, you know, they are part of a larger, national policy. and so i think you're seeing that change in some of the global leaders are from the old era and some of them are from a new era that reflects this understanding.

brian: what you are saying so focused on the g.d.p. and other people focused on us. don't tell me us what g.d.p. is. we no longer making furniture and cars in this country. textiles. why are we -- don't tell me about this great deal. middle class is paying the price. and they are feeling that all around the world. >> this is no question that free trade is great for -- we have known this for hundreds of years that tariffs hurt the economy. what i found interesting about donald trump's approach to this and his administration's approach is they are not seeking high tariffs in perpetuity. seeking high tariffs to get to lower tariffs. seeking high tariffs to come up with better trade agreements or deal with. so problems. for instance china steals intellectual property. ed: pardon me, mollie. sounds like the president is being announced along with the leaders of canada and mexico. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states. the president of the united mexican states and prime minister of canada.

[applause] >> thank you very much. we're fathered together this afternoon for a very historic occasion. the signing ceremony for a brand new trade deal, the united states, mexico, canada agreement. so important. i'm honored to be here with president enrake ka nieto. and canadian prime minister justin trudeau. this has been a battle and battles sometimes make great friendships so it's really terrific. with our signatures today we will formally declare the intension of our free countries to replace nafta

with the usmca, a truly ground-breakinbreaking achievem. modern day agreement. i want to thank yourepresentatib lighthizer and his entire team for their tremendous effort and the efforts they have made all throughout the last almost two-year period thank you as well to jared kushner secretary of state mike pompeo. secretary of the treasury steve mnuchin and director larry kudlow for their hard work and untiring devotion throughout the negotiation process. peter navarro. usmca is the most modern trade agreement in history. all of our countries will benefit greatly. it is probably the largest trade deal ever made, also.

in the united states the new trade pac will support high paying manufacturing jobs and promote greater access for american exports across the range of sectors, including our farming, manufacturing, and service industries. as part of our agreement, the united states will be able to lock in our market access to canada and mexico and greatly expand our agricultural exports, something we have been wanting to do for many years. this is an amazing deal for our farmers and also allows them to use cutting edge biotechnology and eliminates nonscientific barriers. our nations have also agreed to innovate. new measures to ensure fair competition and promote high wages and higher wages for u.s. and north american auto workers. the auto workers are tremendous beneficiary. under the usmca at least 75% of our automobiles, content

must be manufactured in north america. and 40 to 45% of automobile content must be manufactured by north american high waged labor in order to gain preferential access to our markets. this will help stop auto jobs from going oversees. and it will bring back auto jobs that have already left. many, many jobs are already planning to come back. many companies are coming back. and we're very excited about that. this landmark agreement includes intellectual property protection that will be the envy of nations all around the world. the usmca also contains robust new provisions on digital trade and financial services and the most ambitious environmental and labor protections ever placed into a major trade agreement anywhere at any time. we have dramatically raised standards for combating unfair trade practices,

confronting massive subsidies for state owned enterprises and currently if you look at it, currency manipulation that hurt workers in all three of our countries. the currency manipulation from some countries is so intense, so bad and it would hurt mexico, canada, and the united states badly. we have covered it very well in this agreement. these new provisions will benefit labor, technology and development in each of our nations. leading to much greater growth and opportunity throughout our countries and across north america. in short, this is a model agreement that changes the trade landscape forever. and this is an agreement that first and foremost benefits working people, something of great importance to all three of us here today. president, i must say pena

nieto and prime minister trudeau we worked hard on this agreement. it's been long and hard. we have taken a lot of barbs and a little abuse and we got there. it's great for all of our did you know tries. thank you for your close partnership throughout this process? knew agreement will ensure a future of prosperity and innovation for mexico, canada and the united states. i look forward to working with members of congress and the usmca partners. and i have to say it's been so well reviewed i don't expect to have very much of a problem to ensure the complete implementation of our agreement. enrique, i want to thank you on a personal note, and i want to wish you the very best. this will be your last day in office, so that's very auspicious day when you can sign something so important. but we really do appreciate it i think i can speak for justin when i say that. [applause] [cheers]

[applause] >> we both agree he is a special man and he has really done a good john. we appreciate it very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. so i just want to congratulate you on ending your term in office with this incredible milestone. it is really an incredible way to end a presidency. you don't see that happen very often. i look forward to working with president-elect lopez we have had great conversations i think we are going to have a great, great relationship. i would now like to invite the president and prime minister to say a few words and perhaps we can start with justin and we appreciate it very much. justin, please u.

>> goonk, thanks for being here and thank you to president trump and nieto. thank you for your words and pulling this event together. enrique, this as donald said on your last day in office it's a wonderful pleasure to see you and to be here on this historic moment. [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] brian: we saw the president of the united states make his opening remarks walk out and salute president nieto as his last day is today

after a six-year term he is term 4reu89e limited out. he has english and french speaking canadians. repeating himself. that's why we are jumping. in canada feels as though there are more things to work out at the usmca there are still some details here. i'm wondering if he alludes to that. ed: the president made clear he got a good deal. kelly craft the u.s. ambassador to canada. she has been working on this all along. bob lighthizer. let's go back to him. >> uncertain at this that would have only gotten worse and more damaging had we not reached a new nafta. but, when faced with this challenge, canadians came together and rolled up their sleeves. canadians from every order of government and walks of life put their country's interest first and worked hard to achieve a new modernized agreement that will protect jobs, strengthen of middle class and correct new

opportunities for businesses. [speaking foreign language] ed: so you can see justin trudeau the prime minister of canada going back and forth going from french to english. we will have the translation for you. we have stuart varney like to dial in. his critics said all along you can't renegotiate nafta it's never going to happen it happened. >> another example of him saying he would do what he said he would do. right from the moment he declared his candidacy for the presidency, nativity tax we are going to renegotiate that and he has. now we have usmca and i think it is a trump win. america gets a lot out of this. especially access for our farm products. dairy products in particular in canada pushing for it for a long time we got it in new deal. ainsley: explain what that

means. >> canada has protected farmers, especially dairy farmers. we wanted to break down that protectionism. we did. america got through. what we got was more access for our dairy farmers and other farmers into the product in canada. ainsley: i think he is speaking english again. let's watch. >> resilient, strong of canada wants total exports is secure. and that's essential for businesses, families, jobs, entrepreneurs, and hard-working people in every corner of our country. as i said, the task isn't done. there is more hard work ahead to build resilient strong economies that support families everywhere in canada. as i discussed with president a few days ago, the recent plant closures by general motors, which effects thousands of canadian and american workers and their families are a heavy blow. make no mistake we will stand up for our workers and fight for their families and their communities.

and, donald, it's all the more reason why we need to keep working to remove the tariffs on steel and aluminum between our countries. [speaking foreign language] brian: so the president just -- president trudeau just brought up hey, donald, why don't we get rid of the steel and loom tariffs that alus you put on. >> those tariffs on steel and aluminum are still there this agreement does not cover steel and aluminum tariffs. brian: why not take them off. >> as you heard from prime minister trudy he want trudeau s them off. that is going to be negotiated. it's not yet been ratified by our congress. it's not going to be ratified by the current congress. we have to wait until the new congress takes effect in january. that's when the ratification vote will be taken. ed: democratic house but more republican seats in the

senate. ainsley: it can't be ratified now in lame duck. >> it's not going to be the agenda is so crowded. ed: we're going to listen back in. [applause] >> the president of the united states donald trump prime minister of canada justin trudeau distinguished members of the delegates is joining us today to you both i would like to thank you for your generous remarks. the last day of my administration, ladies and gentlemen, members of the media. during the last day of my administration as president, i am honored to be here

standing next to the leaders countries who are friends and partners in this signing ceremony of the new trade agreement between mexico, the u.s. and canada. the agreement that he would will sign today expresses the shared will by our three nations to work together towards the well-being and prosperity of each one of our societies. this day is the culmination of a long process based on dialogue and negotiations that allow us to overcome differences to con sill united states our vision. once signed, the agreement will be cents to congress for ratification. it will be then when this innovative bears fruit by offering a more inclusive firm on modern foundation for our future exchanges the negotiation the usmca allowed to reaffirm the importance of economic

integration in north america. for more than a quarter of a century ago. our three countries have maintaining very tight trade relationships trade has transformed mexico. today our representations abroad represent more than 70% of our gross domestic product. this has contributed to the fact that today the benefits of trade with the world are broadly valued by the mexican society. rebalancing the trade agreement was aimed to preserve the view of an integrated north america with a firm belief that stronger and more competitive. and take advantage of each country's potential. the united states, mexico

and canada agreement gives us a renew you had face to the process of integration that's process achieved on the first place to modernize our trade framework. they cannot be static. trade agreements need to move along with the economy and should be according to the needs of our society. the inclusion of new trifingprovisions on ecommerce, information technologies and trade enabling practices are now part of the agreement. in fact, 1/3 of the agreement includes topics not included in the current agreement. the renegation of the agreement allowed our region to move into a more inclusive integration, a type of integration that listens to the demands of our society. 24 years ago nafta set a new

benchmark for trade agreements back then. today, usmca is the -- ed: listening to the president of the united states along with outgoing president of mexico and canada hagel this new trade deal. brian: choosing to be the guy. is he out. why not let the new guy. ainsley: if you are going to go out, go out on a good note. brian: he wants to get the credit. technically still his gig. have other guy there. ainsley: is observobama ains- >> what side is going to come down on steel and aluminum tariffs for example. i don't know where he stands on that. brian: it was to get them to the table. he brought them to the table, why are they still in place? i don't know the president's school of thought with that? >> this has been the

negotiating process that's gone on for months. they have got some things settled like auto tariffs, for example, like dairy farmers. they wanted me to get this signed before pena nieto. ainsley: when they do sit down and discuss they are talking trade right now. this relationship can also talk when they talk about caravan and granting asylum in mexico versus them coming to our country. >> the incoming mexican president security crisis at the border on the mexican side of the border, with all the caravan people arriving by the thousand in tent cities. that's a problem that obrador has to deal with. brian: you can start bolstering up southern border. help our borders on the northern side. >> sure, that's long term. brian: that could be tomorrow. you can put some troops down there. you can throw up fences.

ainsley: on the mexico southern border you are talking about? >> who is going to do what with those caravan people who are now living in squaller conditions on the other side of the border? is america going to ante up more money? is mexico going to do that? who is going to take care of this problem? i don't know at this point. ed: sometimes these g-20 summits can be a snoozer. we are seeing a kickoff with a big wins a you said a moment ago for president trump. i will let you -- >> this is the most important g-20 meeting in a decade at least. ainsley: why? ed: sets the table for the meeting with china. >> he is the trump show. he is the man of the hour. he has a changed relationship with every single world leader whether it's china or russia or europe or mexico and canada, there is a changed relationship. here it all comes together. they are all in one place. brian: now we understand after nieto has just wrapped up his comments. they will open it up to the

press and maybe take some questions. ainsley: looks like they are going to go over and sign. >> get the pens out. ainsley: is there a reason they would put our president in the middle number one economy? >> i would guess so, yes. i would think. so. ed: listen in to see if they have anything to say when they sign. listen in.

>> which is the one i have passed? >> each 6 us get of us get a c. >> sounds very good. >> excellent. >> thank you very much, everybody. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. brian: about to see -- they are not going to take any questions. all going to leave. as we are watching this. the usmca gets signed new

nafta. i will wonder how many more times we want to se are going te this. reconfigure with japan, eu. >> south korea. really big trade deal obviously comes on saturday night when president trump and xi jinping of china sit down and they break bread together and then on sunday morning we are expecting some kind of announcement. what happened at the dinner, what's our future trading relationship. may i go out on a limb? ainsley: yes. ed: please. brian: save something for your show. >> okay, i will. i think there is going to be a truce. i think there is going to be a cease-fire. >> i think they will order up a ton of our product to even out the trade imbalance. maybe we won't go forward with the 25% tariffs that we're going to levy on january the 1st. we are going to keep talking. we have an architecture of

framework. this is how we are going to go forward. that would be a positive development. ainsley: is this our last opportunity to do that because 25% goes into effect on january 1st. >> most important opportunity. i mean, if they don't get some kind of deal here, maybe those tariffs go on january 3rd and that's a problem. brian: here is what i don't want to see happen. china brought into the point feel the strain economically. actually feeling pressure and our economy outlines of our debt is going extremely strong and counter to the rest of the world. i would hate to see the president sign something prematurely because this cohen thing and some bad news at home. >> there is not going to be a signing ceremony. it's goings to be an announcement and continue talking. the pressure on china is economic. their economy has stalled and that's very bad news for an autocrat like xi jinping. he doesn't want to go into the 2020 election with a real serious trade war on his hands with china. he wants to get some

solution going here on his terms but the pressure is on to do a deal of some sort. ed: the markets on monday are going to be rocking if there is a truce. >> we would have a very good gain on market if there was a truce. if they shout at each other and walk off. ainsley: why is that a bigger deal than signing this trade agreement. >> because america and china are the number one and two economies in the world. they are the largest trading partners in the world bar none. when they have a trade dispute, the whole world suffers and feels it so it's very important to get something done. brian: what's also interesting on this whole trip would be come up with the economic deal that china would be the big things. the markets would be affected. even though vladimir putin meeting has been called off, as i see the secretary of state and national security advisor walk through, and john kelly as well, they have to. ainsley: jared kushner and

ivanka. brian: send a message to russia. you cannot stand and international waters. aggression against ukraine. he has to do what president obama and president bush were not able to do push back on russia and make them respond. >> i suspect that the rest of the world would approve of push back on russia. ainsley: smart of him to cancel that meeting with putin. >> i guess so, yes. that's the way diplomacy works. do you that and we are not going to meet. there that's what's going on there. brian: as the price of oil goes down. russia feels the weakness they are a gas station. >> i'm sorry this is my favorite story. the price of gas -- oil is tumbling and gas is absolutely falling out of bed. down 51 days in a row. your average in america is now at 2.49. as i keep saying, there are 21 states in america where you can buy in at least one gas station 1.99 gasoline. can you believe? $1.99 in 2018? it's here. ed: remarkable. brian: this is quality time we usually don't get with you. we like you.

>> i was hoping there was breakfast. brian: certainly earned it. we will join you 9 to noon on fbn. >> thank you, brian. brian: president trump just signed a new trade deal with the leaders of mexico and canada. pete hegseth standing by on what this means for the president's america first agenda. that's pete with gel.

one. what say you about the fact. pete: good morning. ed: you heard for months and months we heard going back to the campaign of 2016. the president can't renegotiate nafta. this is a foolser rand he is not going to get his way. here we are with a deal that looks pretty good for america. pete: that's right. did he it doing his way. art of the deal style threats, pushes in, pulling back. we will be in the deal. out of the deal. it's the same approach with china. i know we are going to talk a little bit about putin and not having a meeting there. but this g-20 is all about china, all about our economic relationship there. brian, i'm with you. i don't think we can tinker around the margins of this relationship and come home with some sort of a papered over deal that makes us feel good temporarily. i think this is about a strategic realignment with a geopolitical foe. we are in a economic cold war with them. how we do in the next couple of months and whether we win that cold war will determine whether or not we have a real change in relationship that is advantageous to the american worker and putting

america first which has been the load star for this president. brian: i way i understand it inside china's policy we want to see what happens in the midterm with the president and how weakened he is coming out of this. see what the american people think about this approach to world economics. and the more powerful senate by losing the house they say he is here to stay. they reconfigure you had this deal. they have unprecedented weakness but still have great strength. that's why you could maybe call a truce on the next set of tariffs but you have got to go for complete victory on reassignment now. they will never be as slurenel. vulnerable. pete: no he won't. he is making a calculation about the 2020 election. at this point would be a miscaucus bmiscalculation by the president. medal to pedal on a stair down with them. on the tariffs you could hold back at some point if you need to on leverage. now is the time for strength. i'm reminded here in the reagan library the guy who

coined the face peace through strength. it was barack obama who allowed artificial islands to be built in the south china sea and naft gable waters by the crimea to be seized with no ramifications that weakness is where we get bad outcomes. that's why it's probably the right deal not to meet with putin. although he could have met with him and stared him down as well. staring down china on trade will be the legacy of this g-20 and potentially the next couple years. ed: good stuff, pete. ainsley: you will be out in california tomorrow doing the show from there? pete: yes. we have the reagan national defense forum this weekend. hosting "fox & friends" from here. i will be on a panel as well. a lot of you can catch on fox nation. ed: get some sleep. i am on east coast time have you got to get some sleep, buddy. pete: it's early. i'm going back to bed. ed: geraldo here to react new trade deal and michael cohen as well. that's next. ainsley: steve is live in nashville at kid rock's new restaurant and man of the hour kid rock himself. he is going to join him

june of 2016, well into the campaign, after the president had already gotten momentum and was the clear favorite to obtain the nomination. makes it a little queasy in terms of when the president dropped the negotiations. nothing illegal that you can build a building, can have a tower, but it is clear the president's business interests with russia continued well into the campaign, not to january 2016,. ainsley: if that is not illegal, geraldo, why is michael cohen doing this. >> why is michael cohen lying? ainsley, therein lies the peril. don, jr. and others in the family also testified before congress. it seems though, as if the others, don, jr. and others given truthful answers to congress. why michael cohen tried to lie, whether to curry favor or put the best possible spin on president's dealings with moscow

people don't remember everything. people say things that they can't exactly remember. and then the prosecutors come in say you willfully lied. you said this before. then you say, gee, maybe i forgot. i'm not sure. well you have to come up with a reason. why did you lie? i was trying to align with his messaging. here is the bottom line, donald trump is the one who provided this information voluntarily to mueller regarding the russia attempt at the tower development in moscow. donald trump was not involved in the negotiation. his team goes in as they always do, whenever they go into a country to try to develop a building or a hotel or whatever it is that they're building t didn't work out. he didn't do it. let me ask you this. if the russians were really intending to own donald trump so that they could get access to whatever they want in the united states, they would have made such a sweetheart deal for donald trump, that donald trump wouldn't have had a point or choice other than to make sure that deal went through. it didn't go through.

brian: i talk to nine different people they agree with you. >> they do? brian: legally i see what you're saying if the president is asked multiple times about russia, one of the projects i'm working on moscow project. talking about it since the '80s. never got off the ground, would that have a better answer than i don't have any business interests in russia? >> no. i'll tell you why. because he doesn't have a business interest in russia. that is the bottom line. he does not. in truth i can say, you know what? i've always wanted to have a pair of shoes from that store over there. that doesn't mean that i'm anything with them. that i get them or i bought them. it doesn't mean anything. he wants to build all over the world. he is donald trump. all right? need i say more? but the reality is, when you put that shovel in the ground or the pen to the contract, that's when you got a deal. ainsley: it wasn't, even if he had done a deal or been talking to them, his argument is, that was in 2016. i wasn't president then. that was legal. >> i'm a businessman. this is what i do.
