chamber of commerce said in a statement. this is his reaction. the tariffs places the cost of china's unfair trading practices on the shoulders of farmer and ranchers and american consumers. this is not the right approach. how is all of this going to affect consumer like this. >> you look at what's targeted. is,000 items -- 1,000 items. those things can get more expensive. if this trade war continues. if there continues to be a back and forth, we could see the chinese targeting agriculture and manufactured goods from the u.s. things we pay for could go up. i want to go back to something president trump said there. he's targeting china right now because of concerns about intellectual property. what he cares about is the trade deficit. the strategy is confusing, and i think consumers could pay the price if the white house tries to figure out the consequences of what it's doing. >> china responded in part, we will immediately introduce taxati taxation measures of the same scale and strength. again, you know, not to engage in hyperbole, is this a trade war? >> i talked to a trade expert who headed up the china division, he wrote me back, yeah, tariffs, retaliation

american tanks and bombers. they just don't understand that and quite frankly, our friend and allies are angry. chamber of commerce, not the commerce department at all, the chamber of commerce has this estimate that some say is a worst case scenario. if these trade actions all go through, these are the kind of jobs would be loss, if nafta collapsed, 1.8 million, 470,000 from metal tariffs, and 157,000 from auto tariffs. we have a huge manufacturing base in this country that imports these metals so that higher prices will be passed on to american consumers. >> don't go anywhere. a lot of economic news this morning. the president, brianna, tweeting about this. >> it seemed like the question is did the president break protocol? >> this morning he appears to have done so once again, foreshadowing the jobs report before it had even been released. at around 7:21 this morning, he said he was looking forward to seeing the jobs numbers, foreshadowing a report that came out at 8:30. there's a rule that prevents federal employees from commenting on the jobs report until one hour after the numbers have been released. the pres

chamber of commerce said this isn about who we are. the business round table which represents ceos urged the administration to end the policy immediately calling the practice cruel and contrary to american values. >> and in a wide ranging speech the president asked congress for a third option on immigration. >> what i'm asking congress to do is to give us a third option which we have bn requesting since last year. the legal authority to detain and promptly remove families togethers a unit. we have to be able to do this. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said the problem at nde border needs to be fixed expects the senate to address it with a narrow bill and not ade immigration reform sasure. >>>e of the companies with the biggest exposure to china, still ahead. >>> a big shakeup coming to the dow. walgreens will replace general electric in the index prior to the open. ge was an original member of the dow back in 1896. the s&p and d jones which determines which companies are in or out of the dow said the decision that the economy has changed and with consumer finance, hlth care and tech companies becoming more prominen o while importanc industrial companies is less. ge's low stock

. >> so the business round table and the chamber of commerce have estimates on what would happen to americanobs if nafta fell apart. 2.6 million, they argue. it sounds like you think we can almost afford it given where we are. >> yes, we do. i think that autos are going to be the issue if we come at it with guns blazing, i think you establish less look steel you need it for national self-defense. if we're going to say that we got to block bmws because of national defense, it does not fly. >> no. we import over 8 million automobiles in this country. that's a big number. by the way, there seems to be some question whether ross is going to china he said yesterday on our interview he was planning to he was in france the journal reporting not long ago, though, that the u.s. theme is a team that is dealing with china, which includes commerce, treasury, agriculture, and energy and the office of the u.s. trade rep is scheduled to make a recommendation late friday to wilbur ross whether he should plan to beijing if he cancels that trip, that would be bad. >> that ruins the late friday cancellation, y

local chambers of commerce, local officials are eager to get the economy up and running so they create incentives to bring developers in to help them restore the flames. and americans particularly those in florida have very short historical memories and despite the fact that hurricanes such as hurricane camille leveled the mississippi gulf coast, they quickly forget about those tragedies, those disasters and people move in and they develop away. >> so one thing you write very beautifully about in the e book is the estuaries. and the mangroves. and i as a person who often goes down to florida once every couple years had no appreciation for the mangroves help us understand why? you obviously spent time writing about the mangroves and estuaries, why it's important for people to understand those and how that works? >> the gulf of mexico is one of the most productive commercial fisheries in the country, outperformi the east coast in certain years and the reason why is 80 percent of our domestic shrimp come from the coast and percent of our domestic oysters and the reason why is those estuaries that circled the gulf of mexico and concentrate around the five thus states w
