bernstein for mentioning the rv district. so when we talk about 232 and some of those issues, it's ringing even more clear. but the folks in my district. in northern indiana, a friend of mine summed it up with one word. when asked about what's happening right now with the tariffs in northern indiana. he says the results are terrible. his gross income dropped $100. he grows corn, soy beans, and tomatoes, to diversity and provide a buffer if one has a bad year. the problem is right now everything is down. another family farm in my district grows 3200-acres of corn and 3,000-acres of soy beans and estimates they've lost $700,000 in gross income since june 1st because of the price drops. one thing i've heard commerce secretary ross repeatedly say is essentially this, quote, if china is buying more soy beans the u.s. can sell to wherever brazil isn't saying any more. he's saying u.s. agriculture can fill the void where others are abandoning. is it really that simple? is it one brush stroke away? and if not, i don't care who rains

bernstein might help workers hurt by trade? >>> well, first of all, while that's not the topic of this hearing, it is extremely important topic that comes right out of this hearing. i would strongly urge this subcommittee to have the hearing on that question. what should we be doing to help those hurt? we're having a great discussion of what we shouldn't be doing. let's talk about what we should be doing. my ideas would be to start with the trade deals themselves and to have trade deals that have much higher standards of workers not just here but on both sides of the border. environmental standards, labor standards, consumer standards, and pushback on the kinds of currency interventions that i mentioned in my testimony that make life more difficult for exporters like those on the panel today. and i would directedly help workers displaced by trade by creating jobs for them in their communities. even with low employment, we know there are communities of this country that have been left behind. workers trying to transition to bett

bernstein? ernstein: i thank you for the opportunity to testify today on troubling developments in international trade. the trumpput, administration is actively engaged in an escalating trade war, i which i mean the imposition of new tariffs by the u.s. and the retaliation of our trading partners. economic trade has been positive for growth. and abroad. but people and places have been the by growth abroad since 1980's. china often engages in unfair trading practices, including suppressing the value of their currency to make exports much cheaper. they have dumped steel on global markets. there heavily subsidized steel sector increased production i-20 percent. this contributed to more than half of global overcapacity in the steel industry. credit to the trump administration for raising these issues, but it is not the same as effectively addressing them. this escalating trade war is likely to do more harm than good. the trump administration not helping those hurt by trade, and these latest actions

carl bernstein, you've had a chance to think about this. your take?this is a genuine national security emergency. whether through incompetence or questioning his loyalty or whether he is ignorant. the president of the united states cannot be entrusted with the national security of the united states. that's what we saw where the two leaders appeared yesterday. we never had a moment like this where serious people of both parties are questioning the loyalty of the president of the united states. unprecedented and we have to figure out how to deal with a president of the united states who wittingly or unwittingly has been compromised. what we saw yesterday was collusion witting or unit withing in the president's words and attitudes towards putin as the two student there. >> what do you think happens next if it's a crisis to the level you're talking about? >> i think this is a moment for republicans to define who they are as they did in watergate when they decided we couldn't have a criminal president of the united states. republicans have to speak out and

bernstein for talking about the industry. when we talk about some of those issues, it's ringing even more clear. the folks in my district in northern indiana, the farmers, i have a friend of mine that summed it up with one word. when asked about what's happening right now with these tariffs in northern indiana and he said the results are terrible. his gross income per acre dropped $100. he dropped some as a way to provide a buffer if one of those is having a bad year. the problem is right now everything is down. another family farm in my district grows 3200 acres of corn and 3,000 acres of soybeans estimates they've lost $700,000 because of the price drops in both. one thing i've heard commerce secretary wilbur ross repeatedly say is essentially this. quote, if china's buying more resilient soybeans, the u.s. can sell to wherever. brazil isn't selling anymore. basically he's saying that u.s. agriculture can fill the void wherever brazil and others are abandoning in order to sell china or the eu. subpoena it really that simple

let me share a bernstein note, which by the way was not fully negative, we should point out.s a key part of it. they said our evening, that was last night, was mostly filled with confused and angry calls and emails as the company effectively just walked away from what it has done the last few months, what would be small m & a and buy backs. we're absolutely speechless that the company did not host broad investor conference. out of left field is an understatement, says raymond james, and even prisoners, this is back to that bernstein report, get a phone call many feeling blind sided by this decision to do a large deal, a mainfra mainframe, software, not an area where this company has been focussed, lending to the narrative that this company just needs to do deals, regardless of where they may be. >> and there are questions about how broad that goes, right. >> very much so. >>> meantime the u.s. economy is running hotter than any time since the great recession. consumer inflation this morning hitting a 6-year high, our next guest who is president obama's top economic advisor sa

harry bernstein, ms. anne clark, and ms. sonya deermaier. mr. bernstein, please come up. >> good afternoon, president kwon, and commissioners. my topic today has to do with the balboa reservoir near city college. as you know, the upper balboa reservoir site, east side, is owned by city college. the lower western site by the p.u.c. so i just have a few points to make. during -- so there's a major development being considered for that lower reservoir site. during previous moves to put housing in the reservoir, which is '80s to '90s, serious concerns were raised about the safety of the basin, especially involving fire and drought. those are two different issues, of course, given the physical layout, a fire would pose a tremendous threat and get easily out of control into the neighborhoods. another part is in the case of drought, the city has been trying to husband its water resources, i know especially in the western side. there's been a number of engineering studies over the years, trying to discuss whether certain potential reservoirs should be u

. >> carl bernstein broke the story. >> carl, has broken so many stories.nificance of this one today. >> well, the significance is that the lawyer for the president of united states or the former lawyer for the president is alleging and has told a fair number of people that the president knew in advance of this meeting to take place at which russian operatives were to deliver dirt on hillary clinton for use in his campaign. it would be a stunning development if indeed the president of the united states then about to become the nominee of his party knew of that meeting in advance because the meeting itself that did take place suggests a kind of collusion in the sense that those present expected to receive information from the russian participants. if the president himself knew of it in advance, it is a very, very damaging piece of information. especially while he and his campaign are under investigation by the special prosecutor. >> it is interesting because this morning the president has flat out denied it. again, he has done it on twitter, so someone is ly

i will ask legendary newsman carl bernstein, here to talk about the latest scoop on cohen v. trump. what's next for sinclair? will the angry tweets affect the fcc's decision? >>> first, another chapter in the me too movement brought to us once again by rowan farrow, out in print tomorrow is about les moonves and the culture of cbs. it's been eight months since charlie rose was fired from cbs this morning. and now the famed broadcast network is again having to report on itself. >> the new yorker magazine is reporting six women have accused cbs chairman and ceo leslie moonves of sexual harassment and cbs news chairman and current "60 minutes" executive producer jeff fager allowed harassment. >> the story is about much more than moonves, it's about cbs as a whole, about how major media companies are still having to reckon with the past about alleged abuse that happened in the past and, in some cases, not too long ago. these are issues that have to be addressed by cbs and by other media companies. and it's farrow who has been leading the way, exposing some of the darkest secrets of thes

this is from "the washington post," june 1973, the story by carl bernstein, it says "dean alleges nixon knew of coverup plan." are there similarities here, john? >> that's the sort of thing that leaked out. i never met with carl until after watergate was over. i learned 40 years after the fact that one of my lawyers was leaked to carl and bob. and as i say, they withheld that for 40 years until i learned about it. >> he didn't give up his sources. >> that may be what's going on. >> so as i have been reminded, jim, that michael cohen did say he handled the whole stormy daniels thing on his own without knowledge of the president, and that turned out not to be true, how much damage can be done here to the president, jim, by michael cohen? >> well, it's a fair question. and listen, the credibility issue is a reasonable one, right? because you have evidence of misleading statements on both sides, right? certainly from the president's team and also from michael cohen in the past, including when he was making statements on the president's behalf and defending him. but michael cohen was someone

carl bernstein. gents, good evening.hat all this obsicuousness is toward putin. we're baffled. tell us. what is it? >> i have one theorys asand we verbal, normalize, a lot, when it comes to president trump. i think he's trying to normalize putin. i think this new invitation to come here, i think he feels if he keeps saying there's nothing to see her, if he keeps presenting putin as cuddly, then mueller for going after the two of them looked deranged. i think a lot of this comes back to the mueller investigation, and that's a really useful frame for analyzing a lost what trump does. >> people who knowgeopolitics, people who read, understand you cannot, there's noah way to normalize -- >> don -- you're not describing a great many voters when you say people who people who people who. most people choose their team, choose their side in this time of incredible partisan and stick with it and the more trump appears with putin, sends the message, there's nothing to see her, the more his base, the more his people think, well, he

carl bernstein, who shares the bylines from the scoop and has been there before. maggie haberman, and cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. i mean, maggie, it's, again, this odd situation where this is a story involving two people who are not known for their truth telling. >> right. i think it's interesting looking at that cascade of things, statements from rudy giuliani, who is the president's current lawyer. people who get around donald trump tend to take on his personality. this has been a habit that we have seen through the campaign. we have seen it through his career in business. i think when michael cohen was working for donald trump, he said things that were not true. i think you see rudy giuliani now saying things that are not true. giuliani told us of that tape of michael cohen and donald trump, that it was, quote/unquote, exculpatory. he described a series of events on this tape that did not quite play out once you heard the audio. and so i think that you are seeing giuliani try to pit trump's credibility against michael cohen's and suggest that trump

we have cnn political analyst carl bernstein and jim sciutto our chief national correspondent for cnn. what do we know? >> that michael cohen claims that then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june 2016 meeting in trump tower in which russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on h hillary clinton. crucially they say michael cohen is willing to make the assertion to special counsel robert mueller. he says he was present when trump was informed of the russian offer informed by donald trump junior about that offer by cohen's kt trump approved going ahead with the meeting with russians. i must note that michael cohen does not have audio to corroborate his claim. a source familiar said he did not testify that trump had advance knowledge. michael cohen claims were not mentioned as well in separate reports in reports democrats and on the house intelligence committee. >> going back through the transcript did they even ask him about it. so now there is a different state of play. let's bring in carl. timing why now? >> because michael cohen is going around saying he has i

joining me now, author carl bernstein and gloria borger. have you ever seen anything like this before? did you see this hearing as anything other than a partisan shouting match? >> no. it was a partisan shouting match. i was thinking about that, anderson. i think i'd have to go back to the benghazi hearing that was a partisan shouting match where hillary clinton testified for 11 hours in 2015. you could compare it to that. the bottom line here is that nobody, none of the republicans were able to prove in any way, shape or form, that peter stzok influenced the fbi in any way to go easy on hillary clinton and go hard on donald trump. they didn't even get there. he gave it to them when they tried to say to him, you know, this is a false investigation. and he took great umbrage at it. obviously, he has done the fbi a lot of damage in the public eye. that's why he was taken off the mueller investigation. but if the object of this was to prove that the russia investigation is false because it started in a wrong way and should never have begun, i

investigator, there is a fourth reason, a bit glaring as we look at the reporting from jim sciutto and carl bernstein, here we have cohen saying there were other people in this room. now, if he were to could nnjure up, concoct it out of thin air, it would be better for him to say he met one-on-one with the president. that would be the ultimate. but he says there are others who may be able to tell the story as well. these are potential witnesses. and bob mueller will look at that. >> we know about when don jr. was up on capitol hill some months ago, he testified the opposite of what we're hearing from cohen. not only that but doan as well and now he's reversing. >> that's why the timing is very, very curious. reporting on michael kobe the last few months, it is always interesting what his friends, associates end up telling reporters. none of those are actually quince dents. cohen has been trying to project to the world what he's thinking, what he is feeling, because he wants that message to get to trump. i'm not saying about where this could have come from, i'm saying in general it is usually not a co

and because michelle bernstein is there. >> anthony: is this miami?helle: you need a car in miami, and yes, this is like the heart of miami. >> anthony: michelle is one of my miami's most iconic influential chefs, born and bred her. >> anthony: when people say where did you grow up, you say -- >> michelle: miami. >> anthony: where in miami? >> michelle: this is way out west. i mean you can't get much further west than this. >> anthony: what's beyond here? >> michelle: swampland. not much. >> anthony: body disposal. >> michelle: you can say that. i can't. this restaurant, we would actually come here for the seafood and it would be elegant. >> anthony: well, you have the waiters in the little bolero-type jacket things. >> michelle: or a bow tie and there's still some places in miami that still have that. >> anthony: this is how you drink coffee in miami. >> michelle: the real places give you the milk first, then the coffee. >> anthony: what do they call this? >> michelle: it's a big cup with little cups. >> anthony: it is basically like the coffee versi

w have cnn political analyst carl bernstein and jim sciutto, our chief national security correspondente know now? >> reporter: well, chris, tonight sources with knowledge tell myself and carl that michael cohen claims that then-candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june 26 meeting in trump tower in which russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on hillary clinton. crucially, these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel, robert mueller. cohen alleges as well that he was present, along with several

let's talk about it with carl bernstein, pulitzer-prize-winning journalist. sam vinograd. and jonathan chait. carl, if trump's words were currency, we would say it's been devalued, worth almost nothing at this point. what should journalists do after he comes out of the putin meeting and declares victory? >> there has been great reporting that's been done out of this white house. and i think we just have to keep going on with that, not with my measu -- not with hyperbole, but we have to assume what we saw with rod rosenstein on friday is very much part of the dynamic of helsinki, and that indeed the president's object has been, throughout, to make this appear as a witch hunt. it is now demonstrable to all, for all to see, this is not a witch hunt. and if he tries to use helsinki with putin to once again claim that this is a witch hunt, as we heard in that setup, the idea somehow that the press or that the investigators are responsible for the horrors of undermining our elections in a way that has been shown definitively in what rod rosenstein laid out on friday, that's part

joining us now, jared bernstein. he was the chief economist and economic policy adviser to vice president biden. also joining us, david corn, a susan, a republican strategist and msnbc political analyst. welcome on a friday night. susan, let me start with you. this is is republicans were always the ones shouting let's just reduce trade barriers. that's a really, that's hot topic we can debate, but president trump is up against his own party on this. >> he is and while president xi, the who's the president for life, can play a long game on this, china typically does, hs e to worry about not just his election, but the company coming up in four months. they go from season to season. then just also on the strategy part of this and you actually probably know better than i do, it seems this should be about the intellectual property aspect. >> so why are we hurting our own people because one thing we know is that donald trump has not actually said what he wants as a result of this trade r wwar and that's what's going to be

jra: bernstein commenting and saying third-quarter organic growth was will ahead of expectations. one of the best performers on the stoxx 600. profits expects primark to be better than expected. the outlook for the group is also unchanged. since down the most november 2017. perhaps that is one of the things the market is picking up on. 2.9%.re gaining is quick to buy back as much as $1 million of its shares. it looks like it is giving a bit of a relief to investors today. glencore is still down from 9% this week. guy: thank you very much. glencore is a fascinating story, amazing to see the company has reacted so quickly and swiftly. i would suspect not particularly happy about the way the market reacted tuesday to news of this doj investigation. we are also seeing the auto sector on the move. that is something we are going to be paying a great deal of attention to. turn of its legal system has put the country at odds. the country is also suffering a financial hit. as a net beneficiary from the eu's budget, they could lose billions of euros of development funding. joining us is the
