intelligence officer charles schumer ridge told us he thinks the mistake plays conveniently into the narrative that russia is guilty. or many of the or stylish when we first saw this interview appeared with the chief of the. one can look at that and say well ok it's very easy probably to make a mistake in the middle of an interview and say grams when in fact you meant milligrams but that is actually contradicted by what the i.p.c.c. selves have said makes you wonder what was the reasoning behind the chief actually saying something that appears to be not just a mistake but at least officially untrue certainly it was grasped upon by headlines in the west that said that this was further proof that such a huge substance or see huge amount could only come from a state of course to bolster their case that this might be russia. vladimir putin's presidential inauguration on monday will officially start his fourth term russia's leader. can take a look at what we can expect from the certainly. this is glad i'm a buddhist stairway to presidency so to speak he will climb these fifty eight steps

meanwhile the democrat leader, that would be charles schumer, senator schumer, he is the senate minorityny of us feared the summit between potus, president of the united states, would be a great show that produced nothing enduring. if a summit is to be reconstituted, the u.s. must show strength and achieve a concrete, verifiable, enduring elimination of kim jong-un's nuclear capabilities. that is from the leading democrat in the senate. come on in please, blake burman from the white house. i think you have more information? actually, i want to know when will we hear more from president trump? reporter: 11:30. the president will speak on camera. remember, stuart, he is set to sign, oh, by the way the dodd-frank rollback bill into law at 11:30. if i would have told you a couple years ago that would have happened and gotten little to no coverage you would have called me nuts. i guess i've been called worse than that so i will keep it. so, yes, we're going to hear the president at 11:30. will reports ask questions? of course. will the president answer them about north korea or stick to the l

also with us jim kessler a former legislative and policy director to representative senator charles schumervice president for policy and co-founder of third way. that's a lot of titles, jim. thank you for joining us today. all right. so we heard president trump come up with sort of a new nickname for nancy pelosi last night. ms-13 lover nancy pelosi. jim, how do democrats feel about that label? >> well, that's a new one. look, i think this shows it's about politics. president trump had a good day. he attacked the mexican president, the mexican president had a good day. attacked donald trump back about the wall. politics is going on. donald trump went up to long island on ms-13. i've been in this town for 30 years and never seen a president go up to a district and not invite the democrats who represent those districts on a local issue. i think we've entered the silly season of politics and that's what's going on right now. this is not about -- immigration is the proxy war about the 2018 elections. >> jon: interesting, amos, diplomacy by twitter. saying mexico will pay for the wall and mexico

charles: your thoughts? >> chuck schumeras a real way of being a debbie downer bringing down a mood that is exciting for paul americans in this country. a basic american principle, when hostages are released we can stands together and say go, america. the fact that democrats can't do that tells you what you need to know. >> first he was too tough. now he's too soft. you can't win with these people. that's why the administration needs to continue to focus on the american people. i have no doubt this is just another sign he's connecting man denuclearization. once all this is said and done and the releasing of those hostages. >> i'm not concerned about the bar being set too high. every time he speaks about north korea he says i don't trust them. we have three americans who are freed. the cnn poll says among democrats, their favorability with trump with regard to north korea is up 20%, that's a big deal. charles: this is good news for everyone. thank you very much. the economy is rocketing and even rising gas prices and grocerie

neil: and funny about the schumer thing, actually adjusting the prices down. and we've got charlesnd jonas max ferris, and charles, the economy is lifting demand. >> yesterday was a horrific day for crude oil, down the most in 11 months because saudi arabia and russia getting together and probably pump more oil so the big run we have may have made fallen here a little bit and consequently may see gas prices coming down. a part of this is the economic story, the demand side of it. the last time gas prices plunged we were in the midst of the great recession, we don't want to relive that either. there's a happy medium somewhere, i think we've approached it. neil: people pay more for the gas and pay less when they go to the stores? >> i think in some markets, but we've seen this historically to charles' point since the great recession. i remember in 2013 reporting on this. we saw, gasoline prices are high now, then we were seeing prices in california at $4. it was mind-blowing there. and i think at that point people were a little more cautious, but we see the ebbs and flows. for the co

charles payne in for neil cavuto. >> we're ready for anything the chinese state wants to do in defense ever our intellectual technology. in terms of this issue, this issue has united america. we have senator schumer and senator rubio saying exactly the same thing. we need to defend those crown jewels. charles: well, let's get reaction from charlie gasparino, "wall street journal's" james freeman. prudential chief market strategist, quips sy crosby. quincy krosby. i look at boeing our stock proxy, up five, almost sick bucks today. the market is up huge. we're recoup a lot of yesterday's losses. seems like the rhetoric at this point doesn't have the same impact. what do you think? >> first off, i think there are two stories here. there is the potential trade war story and then there's the war inside the trump administration about the trade war. you literally have peter navarro, robert lighthizer, stuff i hit on last week when the president was talking about a deal over zte, that we would bail them out or give them second life they probably shouldn't get because they're such a bad actor n any event that deal underscored fissures between that rare yo, lighthizer, and other side, mnuchin and larry kud
