now we are hearing from rob portman, pat toomey, chuck grassley all saying congress must take action. can congress do something to stop the president unilaterally applying tariffs? using a law from 1977 to declare an emergency and then say, here is my remedy to help the economy. it has never been used in a trade sense before. there is some question about whether he can do it. legal experts say he has the power under the law, but congress could change the law. he is much more limited in his ability to impose tariffs. members of the house and senate have criticized him for using national security grounds for the potential auto tariffs, steel tariffs, so this may bring new momentum to that. still a question about whether the republican senate would defy donald trump. amanda: michael mckee, thank you

how is chuck grassley wrong?r chairman grassley, but in this case, we have seen too often in the past requests from the united states to our allies and neighborhoods around the world in dealing with something have been agreed to verbally and not backed up with actual action. this is a president who breve believes in dealing from a position of strength. he understands this is something that mexico, they understand now how serious he is about this. this is what those emergency economic powers are designed to do so a president of any party can act in accordance with national security, national interests, especially when our economic interests are challenged. >> this is an important thing. let's talk about the other trade war, the trade war with china. the president says all the time that china is paying for the tariffs. u.s. consumers and businesses are not getting hit because of it. we know factualy that is not true, but i recently spoke with a farmer in ohio who voted for the president in 2016. his name is christo

especially if you ask chuck grassley.l our next guest how important jobs in manufacturing and the auto industry are to voters in his state. a critical one, by the way, in presidential elections. commentator, former republican governor of ohio, john kasich is with us. good morning, governor kasich. gosh, i mean, chuck grassley is upset. this could really heard the ag industry in his state. you have the result on car prices in this country that would come if he slaps these tariffs on mexico. i don't get it. do you? >> well, i don't know if he's serious about this. one minute, he says x, the next minute, he takes it back. one minute, he says he's not going to talk to nancy pelosi, the next minute he is. you have to follow the bouncing ball. i don't even think this is a bouncing ball you can follow. to say if mexico doesn't solve the immigration problem, something we haven't been able to solve, therefore we're going to punish them economically. what's the result? number one, everything that comes in from mexico costs more. th

-mexico-canada trade deal and chuck grassley saying that can be in jeopardy because of this move.e want to get your reaction to what the president did. good morning, eric. you are up first. go ahead. caller: good morning. something needs to be done about immigration. be a people, we need to priority. to me it seems like the democratic party is putting black people first. 6% unemployment rate is something in the black community . the community i used to live in, they took over. they have jobs, they are working. -- the women are on welfare and stuff. it does not take generations and generations of these people to ine over here and move up class, you see them driving 4, 5 cars and doing different types of things. the money -- you don't have to go along with everything the democratic party does. you are the base and they are going along with whatever you do . they cannot get elected unless they have a high turnout of democrats. host: understood. do you support this move by the president? caller: causing the black community to be suppressed. we are the last and everything. host: do you

chuck grassley, joni ernst, are very critical of this. mick mulvaney's point is they can lift this any time they want, they have not set metrics. president trump has threatened to close the border with mexico and gone out of his way to almost compliment the mexicans on how they're doing on stopping the flow and in 24, 48 hours, says no, the flow of migrants is going back and forth. this is up to the president's own whims, steph. >> this could be a threat but what if they take it as the boy who cried wolf? kayla, let's remind our audience, tariffs are paid by importers, not the mexican companies. so the importers would pass the costs to the american consumers. help us understand the impact. >> reporter: yes, and consumers would feel that when they're going out to buy a new car. vehicles are the top item that companies import from mexico that they make there and then send across the border. it would have a dramatic impact on consumers if this were to go through. as hans notes, this isn't a done deal yet. the white house is allowing a slight

investors are nervous -- >>> senate finance committee chair chuck grassley was critical of the trump administration's announcement of potential new tariffs on mexico. senator grassley sent out a statement, saying in part, trade policy and border security are separate issues. this is a misuse of presidential tariff authority, and counter to congressional intent. >>> coming up on c-span3, a conversation on pandemic outbreaks, including the recent ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo. and then from the navy league sea, air and space exposition, a discuss on maritime security operations around the world. and later, a panel on the u.s. and uk supreme courts. >> june 6th will mark 75 years since the allied d-day invasion of normandy, france. tonight, john mcmanus talks about his book, "the dead and those about to die," which tells the story of the u.s. army's first infantry division, the first combat soldiers to storm the beaches on d-day. that's at 8:00 eastern here on c-span3. >>> watch commencement speeches all week on c-span. tonight, at 8:00 eastern, speakers include sup

senator chuck grassley from iowa says the farm belt is still with the president. >> farmers want that change and they're going to stand behind the strong position that the president's taken and i compliment the president because they know that china has to live by the rules of international trade, just like the united states and almost the rest of the world does. >> reporter: the administration is looking at a plan to use some of the tariff money to buy agriculture from u.s. farmers and n send it overseas to other countries for humanitarian aid. the u.s. trade representative office is upping the pressure here. there's a public hearing on junt the items, everything else that china imports into the united states, to be placed under a 25% tariff. the president can put everything china imports in the united states under tariff after that june meeting. back to you guys. lauren: retail sales rose more than 7% in april from a year ago in china, the slowest pace in about 16 years. chinese industrial production, that rose more than 5% last month but also less than expected. new factory orders

a lot of concern for the farmers on behalf of chuck grassley from iowa. the republican congressman from new york, peter king. does this move help or see it sticky? >> it will be tough. i understand the president's frustration. mexico can be doing more. they're not doing enough. the president feels he has to take tough action. i understand grassley's position. his people could be directly affected by it. i think it has to be thought out and see what all the collateral damage is going to be. the unintended consequences. more of an impact on mexico than on us but many american businesses, that means many american workers could be affected by this. again, the president has the power to do th. he has the right to do it. it may be the appropriate thing to do. i hope as they do it they watch the consequences very closely. on the china tariffs i have had some businesses in my district which have been affected which probably people wouldn't have thought they would be actually hit hard by but they are. again, look at this carefully. if the president wants to do it

for example, iowa two republican senators, chuck grassley, joni ernst thrown their support for the usmca deal in doubt because of these tariffs. i asked sanders earlier today why members of congress should support the usmca trade deal, a deal between the united states, canada and mexico, if the president is willing to go forward with putting tariffs on mexico which would mean mexican goods would be more expensive for consumers back at home. this was her response. >> go through with the program -- it is good for farmers. it is food for units, it is good for everybody. it's a great deal, something everybody should move forward with. reporter: as of 10:00 this morning we were told with president trump and mexican president lopez obrador had not yet spoken. the two teams are in contact. mexico's president says the foreign minister would be heading to the u.s. today. reuters is reporting that will take place shortly. that the foreign minister will leave shortly. do math on the plane flight. we did hear from the mexican president earlier today. said he is going to be prudent, going forward. he

do you agree with chuck grassley?s this something the president has overstepped on and what are you going to do about it? >> well, when i heard the news this morning, i was stunned. i thought what is this authority to do this? and when i learned it was a 40-year-old bill, i thought the president's idea of an emergency is something he wants to do without the legal authority, just as he did with the wall and now the courts have stopped him. i think this is very questionable legally. it's not -- he doesn't have a lot of respect for the democratic system of government and the rule of law here and i'm glad to hear that senator grassley is also calling him on this. >> i want to talk to you about attorney general bill barr and the comments he made addressing the role of congress. he said the department of justice doesn't use our powers of investigating crimes as an adjunct to congress. now, that sort of contradicts what we've been hearing from robert mueller and pretty much every lawyer who knows about this. robert mueller s

it's also the same chuck grassley sparing with the white house on tariffs over mexico and tariffs on ina, grassley voiced his concerns at a white house meeting last week. five other fellow republicans at that meeting lobbied against tariffs that the trump administration is threatening to impose. the mueller report is unifying people in the white house, issues like trade and foreign policy are threatening to tear that union apart. kelly o'donnell, covering capitol hill, covered it a on the in our day together before heading down to the other side of pennsylvania avenue. she is back there today for me. ruth, kimberly and bill are back as well, kelly, let me start with you. we have such a focus on the congressional democrats and the president, mitch mcconnell, everybody is unified around the president on that issue. but he can't get it, yet republicans on his side on a bunch of other issues, i'd argue him trying to get nafta through, new nafta and obviously the tariff issue is if republicans thought they could get away with criticizing the president in public, they'd be criticizing. >> r

he could have someone to run on in the china deal and listen to those concerns by the chuck grassleyse ernsts of the world. you'll be fine. look what happened months ago. >> many of the president's economic advisers are telling him that the goal is not a deal. the goal is to have the right deal, and that's why i think this has gone on for so long. >> yeah. >> and in a somewhat revealing comment at the white house on friday, the president's economic adviser larry kudlow says the president views tariffs as a negotiating tactic. not simple police had a matter of principle for him but uses them in negotiations to get the other party to where he wants them to go and that's why we see the threat now as we near what is supposed to be the end of negotiations for china. >> you've seen this happen. help me. you get a little nervous when you look at the head links. amid trade tensions u.s. warships and u.s. warns china, russia against aggression in the arctic region. we seem to be gaining the week with a muscular approach on several fronts. >> well, what i think is so interesting about the headl

senator who happens to be an important chairman, the finance committee chair, is not very happy, chuck grassley who put out a statement saying trade policy and border security are separate issues. this is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional intent. follow-through on -- following through on this threat would seriously jeopardize passage of usmca, a central campaign pledge of trump's and what could be a big victory for the country. >> yeah, and in that statement he talked about alternatives like remittances, basically taking remittances, the money that people send to mexico. a plan that the white house also had a h, folks in the house also had it and it went nowhere. the statement basically i think gets at all the difficulties this president has faced, not only with usmca, which, you know, last week he basically walked away from working with nancy pelosi because of the investigations and now they obviously want some sort of deal on usmca. what we do know this is this buries the president's two favorite issues, tariffs and immigration. those are the two issues th

iowa senator chuck grassley joins us right now. senator, good to have you. you think of the idea the president had to help farmers in your state and elsewhere to help absorb the tariff body blows? >> farmers will prefer the market over the aid the president is talking about. if the aid comes, farmers will take advantage of it but, because they support they support what the president is trying to do in regard to china. our farmers know that the theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, particularly manipulating the currency that china does, all of that is very harmful to the entire united states economy but particularly when they make it difficult for to us import into their country by the manipulation of their currency. we need farmers, want that changed and they are going to stand behind the strong position that the president's taken. i compliment the president because they know that china has to live by the rules of international trade, just like the united states and almost the rest of the world does. and they know that china is in the wto, that ther

another farmers and chuck grassley unhappy with the tariffs on canada and mexico because the mexican government with retaliation. now that this is coming to a peace agreement on trade, what farmers andan for the midwest? amna: it's important to point out that those in the agricultural field felt the effects of the tariffs early. it's also true that some tariffs have lag time before they reach the consumer and this week we saw some of those major c.e.o.s of places like wal-mart and macy's on tir earnings call saying we think we have no choice but to raise prices so i think that contributed to pressure on this white house to say maybe we need to ease up because when tariffs trickle down to the aonragemer, that's where it blows back on them. robert: can tre be a trade deal on capitol hill if you have a white house this week saying g we're notng to cooperate with congress, with whit house council -- counsel blocking a request, the treasury secretary not handing over sax retur you have an all-out fight on the mueller report, does that hover over everything on trade? philip: absolutely. it

[video clip] >> as former chairman of the judiciary committee, you lead a lot of these high-profile hearings, who gets to determine the format? >> the chairman. usually, unless there is any disagreement between the chairman or the ranking member, the top democrat, you consult with them about it. most of the time, particularly hearings on legislation, it is easy to work out. the only thing that was not easy for me to work out with a democrat leader was on judges. except for that, we had so much collegiality that all 61 bills brought out of committee were all bipartisan bills. the significance of a hearing is the public gets the chance to have an unfiltered view of what goes on in congress, they don't have to get it through the cable channels, they don't have to get it through the news paper. c-span 1, numeral two, or 3 or the committees that stream. >> viewers watching tomorrow, what will

that is from republican chuck grassley. let's bring in cnbc's brian sullivan. this, a 5% tariff to stop immigration, does that make sense? >> does it make sense? not to the u.s. markets it does not because the stock market is deeply in the red in the pre-markets and we're seeing red across the board. if you're a u.s. ceo i know you also probably think it doesn't make sense because nafta 25 years ago told you that it's okay to move your supply chain to mexico. we actually encouraged it. u.s. companies did that. now they could be at risk. here's the reality. we buy more from china, but we sell a lot more to mexico. mexico, in fact, is about a 70% larger trading partner for u.s. companies than china is. this all coming, by the way, willie on the cusp of the signing of the usmca, unfortunately named new nafta if you will. this catching everybody off guard. 5% june 1st, 10% july 1st to the possibility of 25% on $300 billion worth of goods if the president is not satisfied with any changes they make at the border which what does satisfied mean? what is the benchmark

we heard senator chuck grassley came out right away to say among other things quote "trade policy andcurity are separate issues. this is a misuse of presidential authority. following through on this would seriously jeopardize passage of the u.s.m.c.a., which is what you just said." congress is increasingly concerned . what is the likelihood that mitch mcconnell would get on board, and of that senate republicans could curtail the president's authority? rufus: so far, they have not done that, and we have watched as the president's actions have progressively taken more and more of the trade power away from congress. the constitution clearly gives congress the authority to do these kinds of things, and presidents are supposed to, even if negotiating a trade deal, they have to submit them to congress forehand. certainly, on raising tariffs, the president needs congressional action. but he has used these authorities have given to him so far, the republican senate, has not challenged him, and i have not seen much from the democratic-controlled house either. it is really unclear whether the c

>> i saw chuck grassley, the chairman of the senate finance committee, question the legality of it. we'll see. this is an area where congress can make a clear statement against this. that would require republicans to do something they almost have never done, which is to vote against the president. if he does go ahead with this, as he does with everything else, we would likely see it go to court. i'm not enough of an expert in the trade laws to tell you, whether this will be able to be sustained in court. but it was striking that grassley tonight, was out there right away, questioning whether the president really had the authority to do this. >> this comes on the heels of the u.s. and canada. this replaces nafta. what impact does this have on the u.s. mca, whether it gets ratified? >> that's striking about all this. on the same day the president submitted a language to congress that is designed to set the clock in motion to force the house to vote on his revised, updated nafta, after the speaker nancy pelosi signaled clearly that democrats want more time to consider it. this does kin
