host: aaron jones on the trade issue. guest: i don't think there is needy much -- i think we to be careful when we are about trade and how much money we're spending on it. that definitely talks about economic growth and how much people have jobs and things like that. the money that congress appropriates should be the revenue that is generated from taxes and tariffs and things like that. we are trillion dollar deficits more outlaysve than we have in coming. and if you look at the budget and was laid out about a third of that is in discretionary and 2/3 is in mandatory spending. we are spending a lot more on entitlement programs and we do spend a lot of on defense. about half of our discretionary is in defense. certainly we want to look at trade and make sure we are generating revenue from economic growth. we also have to look at the way we are spending as well. host: is any deficit bad? guest: that's for an economist. that is something economists have argued about for years. i'm more on the process. i don't want to pretend

a lot of people believe that aaron hernandez was guilty in the death of oden lloyd.ere of his mother weeping and holding his bloodied shirt. the car that was rented that was brought there, was rented by aaron hernandez and he was at the scene. why do you believe he didn't do it? >> because three people identified him as being someplace else and three other independent witnesses identify the person that was actually in the car as having long hair with corn rows. that's not aaron hernandez, i think the evidence was overwhelming that he was innocent and that's why the jury acquitted him. and just to clear that up, i didn't represent him in the first case. we won the acquittal was in the second case for the two murders, i'm talking about the first case in which he was convicted and sent to prison for the rest of his life. >> i have a reasonable doubt that he was guilty. what a lot of people don't know was he was prosecuted under the joint venture theory of meaning the prosecutor doesn't know who pulled the trigger. there were three individuals that were there. four men w

i'm aaron gilchrist.e new york times" reporting that the white house counsel don mcgann has cooperating extensively with special counsel robert mueller's obstruction probe. former outside attorney for the president, john dowd, responded to that report, calling it complete fiction. saying don mcgann was a strong witness for the president. joining me now is democratic representative from tennessee, steve cohen. sir, i appreciate your time today and i'd like to ask your reaction to this reporting and the response to it. >> don mcgann is trying to save himself, because trump would throw him to the fishes if he could, and i believe it will cause more paranoia in the white house than there even is now, and the man will be just off his rocker, because he won't know whether to trust mcgann or not. he doesn't trust people he should trust, so just more of the chaos and mental instability that we're seeing at 1600 pennsylvania. i would have to think his golf game is terrible. >> okay. let's turn now, i want to talk

a lot of numbers there from aaron and they are quite staggering.n we get to thursday, august 23 we can expect a further $16 billion worth of tariffs put in place by both the chinese and us side taking the total to about $50 billion worth of good that will be affected eye these tariffs. initially put in place, of course, by the administration of president donald trump. the americans are still threatening, as well, to take it even further, talking about new ta riffs it even further, talking about new tariffs rising from 10% to 25% on $200 billion worth of trade. these numbers are staggering. somewhat amiss in this week because we will have a fifth round of face—to—face talks but that will be low—level officials so, frankly, it is good they are meeting but expectations are low. and this is the question. with the expectation is so low and the viewpoint that things could actually escalate further, what impact that will have on china and the us. what do people say to you that about the world ‘s second—biggest economy? domestically, the chinese economy co

so i think, aaron, that is my take on that.s deplorable to attack the justice department this way and also to imply that this investigation would not be underway were it not for that dossier that the british intelligence officer provided. that is incidental to all of this. >> and there is a lot of elements and angles to this investigation. we know that investigators appear to be closing in on long-term donald trump confidant and the former campaign aide roger stone. this week robert mueller used a subpoena power to question stone's associates kristin davis, best known for running that manhattan escort service and questioning andrew miller and he is appealing a contempt order for refusing to testify. ryan, why would roger stone be the apparent focus right now? >> shocker, right, that roger stone is involved with shady stuff and that he might come under federal investigation. breaking news for the past few decades. but the situation you have to look at with the aide is that you have a situation where his legal bills -- he's not f
