>> look, it's a little bit unclear, brooke. i think what they're trying to say is trump is going to get us better trade deals. that's what he's after in the end. what he means by better trade deals is unclear. the things that china has been doing that's bad for u.s. companies -- and they have been misbehaving -- have mostly to do with intellectual property, acquiring u.s. companies that want to do business there, turn over some of their intellectual property, that sort of thing. the way you resolve those kinds of issues are not through macho trade war efforts. it's through the wto. it's through getting together with our allies, something like the transpacific partnership, which we pulled out of last year. we have lots of tools available to negotiate better trade deals but it's not clear that trump really realizes what the problems are or how to solve them. >> i think it's key in this conversation to say who has hit the hardest. this is theheartland. this is who produces these soy beans. you can see that the majority of the colo

thanks for having me, brooke. >> you got it.umped out on me listening to the interview this morning. two minutes from when those guys sat down to when the manager called 911, two minutes. >> yeah, yeah. it really just reminds me of so many other incidents that have turned out worse than this one, tamir rice, police officers pull up and in a matter of seconds, they shoot that little boy for playing with a toy gun. and in this case two minutes they show up and men say in the interview they didn't even know why the police were there. they were saying to themselves they can't be here for us because nobody's told us anything. suddenly there are six police officers surrounding them. it really is a case of racial profiling in a neighborhood that is a very rich neighborhood, a very white neighborhood where we've had problems with stop and frisk, where only 3% of the people in that neighborhood are black yet 67% of the people stopped by police in that neighborhood are black. this is an ongoing problem. hopefully this is the beginning for

brooks was originally from virginia but had spent her life in washington. she is from a pretty elite family and had an aunt who ran the boarding house in new york city where elizabeth keckly would stay when she went to new york. she was staying in that boarding house when she was writing the book. and hannah brooks remembered being a girl and knowing who elizabeth keckley was and she remembered a particular white abolitionist journalist named james coming by. everybody knew he was helping kegley with her memoir. just to give that example. so washington interviewed the elderly hannah brooks in the presence of her daughter, mary. and mary attested in a written statement to her mother's sound mind and memory. all of that is in the book. so washington put it out there and said, this is the interview with hannah brooks. her daughter vouched for her ability to remember this stuff accurately. this is what i have. it is plausible, he argued, that james could have helped elizabeth get the book into print. now there is scholarship on elizabeth. it has become an impor

hello, sir. >> how are you, brook?i'm well, so we've talked through the purpose of the hearing today, what i want to hear from you is, why is stormy daniels even in this courtroom period. is this totaling spectacle? >> it's so that cnn and the other cable news networks will cover this, there's no other reason for her to be there. other than michael is a shrewd culture of the news, he knows if just he shows up, there's not going to be this media coverage. >> this judge, this woman allowed for avanati to speak last friday. he told me, it's very possible that this judge today will let stormy daniels address the courtroom. >> i doubt she would let stormy daniels address the courtroom. i can see where her attorney would have a basis to address it it would surprise me if she would let stormy do it. most article three judges tried to avoid the spectacles. but i think today she -- my guess is, this judge will be focused on whether or not they can identify specific issues and other clients and legal work. >> we've gotten some s
