senator hawley: i would like to hear the facts.to hear their explanation for the difference between what they have told consumers and users and what they are actually doing. there is a huge gap there, and i would like to hear them explain it in their own words, actually come clean, be honest. -- be honest, and set out the facts. really, this gets to the fact why we need to pass legislation. congress needs to pass legislation that gives every single american the right to opt out of being tracked, period. no backdoors, no workarounds. every american should say "i don't want to be tracked." taylor: are you also planning to write a letter to apple and google, given that it runs on the ios software and google's android system? senator hawley: well, google is already well aware of my concerns in the area, as is apple. google has similar problems. google testified to me under oath that their users could turn off location services and not be tracked. that's also not true. the android phone constantly scans for wi-fi networks, constantly mo

hawley: thank you. >> thank you. i know that we are here talking issues, but as mentioned by other senators, other states have other problems. . leti is mainly still meth me give you a little bit of data on hawaii. intensity drug trafficking areas threat assessment identified meth as posing the greatest drug threat to the hawaii region. between 2012 and 2018, the number of people who died from meth increased 250%. 70% of drug-related deaths in hawaii are a result of meth and this problem is not isolated to hawaii. data from the centers for disease control and prevention shows that overdose deaths nationwide increased fourfold between 2012 and 2016. what resources are your organizations committing to address the increased use of meth in states like hawaii. obviously it is in missouri and iowa. what other additional resources do you need? i can start and we can work our way down. at the beginning of this year, director carol had spent time traveling around the country and heard from members of congress and realized we

you're going to see deterioration what the consequences of that are i was just reading about the smoot hawley tariffs and what they did and i been interested in why we haven't seen a similar collapse in markets and confidence in the american economy so one question is do you think things will get better and is this going to eventually hit the real economy of the united states in a way that has not hit before yet most economists say yes they're very worried about what this is doing you know we are not moving in a way to create greater opportunity and fear mentioned leverage that the tariffs give you leverage and i would say joining hands with like minded nations gives you leverage and knowing china i would say that there's no way it could turn its back on an aggregate 60 to 70 percent of gold. g.d.p. and if they did it say well we're going to use the nullification an impairment clause in the we're told another show. in the world trade organization in your out and you'll be happy high tariffs you won't get the w t o benefits believe me we would have had a good solution and it was a magic moment

to implement tariffs a year and a half ago, two years ago, everyone brought up smoot-hawley.ng to be smoot-hawley, that we were going to go from $90 billion economy to $50 billion economy and essentially that's what happened back then, that unemployment back in smoot-hawley went from 6% to 25%. we were promised that and he still didn't blink. those are the kind of things that i would think, you know, people wonder what makes him tick because he knew the market could get hit. he knew the economy could take a hit. but he knew the greater issue was securing america's jobs and fair trade to make it free trade. >> well, the president's got guts and he's willing to stand up and fight for the american workers and american business. i think that's why he took the stand that he took. i would even go further. when he ran for president, there were so many economists who were saying if president trump wins we would be in a depression, we are going to have record unemployment and look it, we've got more americans, there's more job openings than americans looking for work. 3.5% unemploymen

senator josh hawley would like to know the answer.as proposed stripping that community from tech companies and treating them like everyone else unless they can maintain neutral platforms for all views, which of course was the original deal they struck. that's a great idea, but it hasn't happened. another idea is breaking up major tech companies so that a handful of monopolies don't have effective veto power over the first amendment, which is where we are today. it's another great idea. but again, it has not happened. why all the inaction on these questions? well, a big part of the problem is that conservative nonprofits here in washington, the ones that are supposed to be looking out for you, aren't actually looking out for you. they are looking out for big tech. a new report from the campaign for account ability obtained by this show highlights how conservative organizations in d.c. have colluded with big tech emma to shield left-wing monopolies from any oversight at all. it's an amazing story and it's happening now. this october for

senator josh hawley has been watching this very carefully.represents the state of missouri and always happy to have them on the show. senator, thank you for coming up. there is a meaningful one saying we didn't find any evidence that this was motivated by political animists, and that there was no bias. correct? >> that's exactly right. what the inspector general said to me, tucker, there may have well been political bias when it came time for the fbi to go get surveillance warrants on carter page. that's the trump campaign aide that they surveilled, who they eavesdropped on during the presidential campaign. we have to be really clear here, all the inspector general said in his report is that when they open the case file that he couldn't find any evidence of bias. but opening the case file is one thing. actually going out to get warrants, eavesdropping? that something totally different. the inspector general told me that there could've been bias with no circumstances. >> tucker: there are so many layers of irony here, but the most obvious is t

dollars in tariffs in place, yet this economy, when this first started, we were hearing about smoot-hawley went wrong in the 1930s. no one likes using them, but was only weapon at the time, china's tariffs on america on average were 8%. ours on theirs was 3%? >> i state, again i do not like tariffs. i don't think they work. if it worked negotiating, getting a great deal with china, so be it but for me though, again, you know, i flew to new york last week. flew back. the airports are packed. the planes are packed. business is good right now. jobs is good. you can't ask for much better than what we're seeing. very important to recognize this thing can last a while. as i said forever, all you got to do is keep taxes low, regulations not onerous. get out of the way of the american people and business and watch what happens. reagan knew that many years ago when he took 25 different tax brackets down to i think 3 or 4. the highest rate from the '70s down to 28. you see what happened in the '80s. we are getting a little bit of that. i keep my fingers crossed every day. the debt and deficits, char

also josh hawley, he will join us and how chuck schumer has positioned himself front and center on impeachment preview another senate hearing from doj inspector general michael horowitz. plus, rudy giuliani has drawn on the left and on the right. and so he could be asked a question is he helping or hurting the president? what new stuff has he found out in his latest travel.

we heard about smoot-hawley and 1930s and the great depression.t has been the exact opposite of that, yet, still you do have businesses which have hunkered down. they say they're not willing to invest in the sort of uncertainty and many experts, the same experts say as long as businesses remain on the sidelines at some point it will trigger sort of you know, fall of this economy. that soon consumers will become -- soon jobs would dry up. are you concerned about that narrative? >> the president will always be concerned about american jobs but for far too long we've had trade policies, whether it be the nafta agreement that the president renegotitated a year ago, and usmca has been sitting on speaker pelosi's desk for all of that time, awaiting congressional action or whether he made it clear that the era of economic surrender with china was over, this president believes that our trading policies, being the most powerful economy in the history of the world, ought to put american jobs and american workers first and it ought to say to countries around

this is the day after we launched we were on orbit we steve hawley and charlie holden lifted hubbellof the paylor bay held over our heads while the team on the ground commanded these antennas to unfold and solar rays to unfold. all the stuff down here in the little soda straw that comes up like that. that the 200,000 pound multibillion-dollar craft called a space shuttle. currently doing 1700 thousand miles per hour. it is a 50,000 Ãbit is doing 17,500 miles an hour. a moment after this picture was taken lauren schreiber our commander would fire the injuries on the shuttle and back the space shuttle away from the shuttle and let it go up to do its remarkable mission. kathy sullivan and bruce mckenna sue only worked five years getting to this day you'd imagine we are up here gazing out taking pictures, no. we are locked in something roughly the size of two linen closet. hubbell's batteries are draining so he quickly became more important to get hubbell off on its own and get the solar rays charging the battery and to get kathy and bruce out of the airlock so they could watch deploymen

this is not smoot-hawley. it is not 1930. that was promised by a lot of market observers. worst-case scenario din play out. where are you looking at from here, jeff? what should happen? >> think we are in secular bull market. i agree with you. 10 to 15% on upside next year. people don't believe it. charles: trade resolution for us to make the move next year? >> we won't get it next year so we won't need it. we need interim deal that says no new tariffs. i think that would be enough to keep stock prices climbing. half the return jeff is expecting here but still climbing. charles: thank you both very much. got to go. >> thank you. charles: later in the hour, why i'm naming first lady melania trump, the winner of the week. she is not the only one. why nostalgia is having a huge moment. plus is a robot apocalypse coming to a city here you? what you need to know before it is too late. speaker pelosi making headlines with her impeachment announcement. that is overshadowing some really big news about the usmca which is going to impact your wallet a lot more. i've got those detail

are other examples besides smoot-hawley.ook us out of the 19-teens, 1920-22 recession and helped to usher in the roaring '20s. you know, no economist ever will give me a good answer on that. it's not that i'm advocating for this but i'm saying worst case scenario certainly didn't play out. we know there are seven million job openings. we know blue collar wages have soared in a way that they haven't done in a couple of decades. there has been some pretty good things against the backdrop of 360 billion tariffs in place. in place right now. ashley: and full employment. charles: full employment. we have 1.26 million job openings more than we have people unemployed. that's not a bad place to be. ashley: not bad at all. charles: the fed should come back and do this a year or two from now. ashley: look at china as well. charles: look at the headlines, the top left corner, they are doing a lot to save companies during this economic downturn. that's their newspaper. ashley: i want to get to your take on ulta beauty. this is one of th

steve: we had josh hawley on yesterday, the senator from the great state of missouri.id, you know, you look at the horowitz report and it's fishy. there were fishy things happening all over the fbi and the department of justice. he wondered, you know, would it be possible that the attorney general would know about something like that? you know, an investigation into a campaign? or would low level people at the fbi and the department of justice just do that on their own? >> no. the attorney general, of course, would be briefed on that. steve: that would mean the president would know, wouldn't he? brian: president obama. >> i don't think there was any doubt that president obama knew. i think everyone knew that crossfire hurricane was going on. they knew exactly what it was about. it was about the trump campaign and. steve: the president of the united states, barack obama knew that the fbi was investigating donald trump who was running for president? >> steve, i don't have direct evidence of that but i can't imagine it wasn't. when there is an investigation of that magnit
