is cypress in china? tell me how you've dealt with this issue. >> you have to be very careful with your ip. you have to work with -- this is a company by company thing. it's not a country wide cabal. so you have to work with companies that have high integrity. you have to encrypt things. you have to have contracts that show you transferred ip. you to have chinese patents. because of pressure they're starting to enforce pa patents. but you to do a lot of work in china to make sure you don't get ripped off. maria: so you think china blinks first on this in. >> i do. it's simple. our trade going to them is this big, their trade coming to us is that big. and basically if you cripple both arrows, the big arrow is going to get crippled more, more dollars and they're going to have to blink. you know, president trump said it's easy to win a trade war. we'll see. but that's the reason for it. the asymmetry of trade. maria: i want to take a short break and come back and ask you about other policies out of this admi

that was the drama there it was wider than cypress. we have to ask now, are we at the point where they may have to test that process they put in place with cypress for any banks? i don't see it now. >> but the difference here, we've got higher u.s. rates. starting to get qt quantitative tightening. >> yep. >> when things like that are happening. that's when accidents are prone to happen. >> potentially, yeah i also feel as if just where we were field position wise in the u.s. markets, just kind of churning here right below the highs. we're up 6% in the s&p in six weeks. would it be a logical place on an august friday to have back off off? no does it spill into anything beyond that? i don't know we're talking about dramatic affect yet on regional growth rates but you never know. you don't know if it's going to eventually become that kind of a story. >> as for the president's response today and the doubling of the tariffs 50% on steel 20% on aluminium we'll get more from kayla who is watching that tweet that came out a few moments ago. k

and one thing that struck me in the recent testimonies is references to the bank of cypress.when manafort and gates were doing their shady business there was the same russian oligarch who paid donald trump $95 million for a house. and that deal netted donald trump 50 million in profit. i think it's too close for comfort for the president to be hearing all of this talk about the bank of cypress and it's too close for comfort for wilbur ross who subsequently gained control of the very same bank. >> precisely on your point of money, you have this president who is we were talking commercial break has to be following every twist and turn of this trial, he is getting this realtime look at when your accountants, your bookkeepers testify against you. >> he is. and i think that it also is probably evoking in the president's mind other proceedings where guys in really expensive suits trek into a federal courthouse, raise their right hand and turn on each other. you know, this is thing that's familiar to anyone who watched movies about the mob or actually followed mob trials in lower ma

they put the money in cypress and then the money was transferred to another bank account in cypress that manafort had access to. so that's where we are at this stage of the trial and it's well to remember that this is a trial about financial fraud, about defrauding the irs by not paying taxes, by defrauding banks and by not filing foreign bank account reports which are required if you have more than $10,000 in a foreign account. that's what this trial is, so there's a lot of slogging through those sorts of financial records. >> pete williams in our d.c. bureau. thank you much. >>> i want to bring in greg brouwer on set, and greg, let me start with you. let's pick up on day two of the manafort trial. the president is trying to distance himself very clearly from paul manafort now. we've shown on this program how the president has tried to do so, calling paul manafort a good man, saying, well, he barely worked for me at all. talk through what you think your biggest takeaway is from the trial so far. >> it's moving quickly so far. this is a very experienced no nonsense judge that's going to

scare certainly if we got to that point that could happen. >> can i just justify why i was in cypress two weeks it wasn't just that cypress was so important, it was that was the model where they re-did the entire banking system bail out system, right? i mean that was -- >> did you be some nice food when you were there? >> no, it was very hard to get food it was cash. >> i was not at all saying you didn't deserve to be there for journalist journalistic reasons for two week >> but remember the bailing system came because of cypress because they were going to be the model for everywhere else if again there were going to be bank failures. >> i want to switch the focus to russia clearly there's words coming out of economic warfare. do you think the sanctions that the u.s. is platesing cing on ra are the most aggressive or weak ones how strong is president trump being on russia relative to china and turkey >> well, we're going in stages first of all russia has a fundamentally different economy. the sanctions that have been announced today need to go to congress and three months later i beli

all these high, hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal bills from accounts like places like cypress> while trump may be willing to comment on the manafort case, it seems the white house is trying to keep the president's allies from doing the same. according to politico, told them some interpret this as an attempt to keep them from talking about the trial on tv and to starve it from oxygen. it might leap over to him, this bad news from gates. and the white house is very careful to keep their fingers away from this thing. this manafort case. >> about the time the prosecutors give all of this information to manafort is the same time that giuliani starts to talk about how there was another meeting that gates was present. and so i think they are seeing this and it is affecting them. >> how is mueller looking at this. first battle he needs to win? >> he definitely has to win it. they are being forced to limit the evidence that they put forward. the judge is moving them along. there really is a mountain of evidence here on tax evasion in particular and cutting it down to half a mountain ma

someone connected to russian intelligence or directly a part of russian intelligence on manafort cypressk account is incredibly damning and does establish that that connection he describes, which is that they were deeply indebted, manafort and gates to these people, connected to putin's government. but i do think that again you can make the case and the president's team must that this is about two men who had some -- a very good scheme going on and bumped into the spotlight where it was all discovered and that this is not about the trump team working with the russians to fix an election in trump's favor. that has to be -- they're going to point that out, and they're right to, that what mueller is going to come up with in terms of a potential collusion equals conspiracy or obstruction of justice is a separate matter. >> friends, stand by for a moment if you will. we are following breaking news this morning. firefighters in california racing to contain what is now the largest wild fire in that state's history. the flames have scorched 284,000 acres and destroyed more than 100 homes and str

i mean, this is all documented straight from cypress into his bank accounts, into his tax returns. you've got the fact that he didn't check off that he had these foreign accounts. you've got -- it's a documents that actually bury him here. it's his own words in those documents. it's the tracing of the money from ukraine through cypress, back to the u.s., onto his tax returns where it doesn't exist. and then you see what he does when he stops making all of this money in the ukraine. he winds up then having to phony up bank loans by inflating his income. so doing it both ways and the documents showing it both ways and then you've got the summary evidence from the agents that the jury's going to be able to take those charts into the jury room, this is not going to be a long deliberation. >> well, you think it's not going to be a long deliberation, maya, let's dig into that. you do get holdouts on juries. juries are people. sometimes you have one or two people who kind of say well, i don't know, i don't buy it. they're the hardest ones to reason with if they're just big picture, i'm no

they take credit cards, they take apple pay, they don't take wire transfers in cypress. >> let's talkbout the case. these jurors are being asked to look at the complexities of foreign bank accounts and shell companies and now we are in deliberation. what are your thoughts where we are right now in the jury deliberations process and the jury's concerns? >> it's a complicated case a. there's a lot of paper to go through. there's a lot of counts. and it's just going to take the jury some time to go through it. one reason it will take more time is the judge refused to let the prosecutors show the jurors the documents as they were talking about them. he was trying to save time because, you know, he was in a great hurry to get the trial done every day. and now the jury has to sort that out. so its more complicated for them than it might be. it looks like they are going about it with care. they are asking good questions. and we'll just see what happens. it may take another couple of days. >> day 14 now. so we're talking about 18 counts of tax evasion brought on during the mueller investigati

so as the mueller team argues that manafort bank rolled a lavish lifestyle using accounts in cypresshidden from the irs, his booker said she never saw money that indicated that he had enough to cover expenses in the states. the special counsel says they still plan to call rick gates to testify by the end of next week. he's the star because he's the only one that can speak as to how and why manafort's business operated the way that they did. he flipped and agreed to cooperate with the mueller team after pleading guilty to lying to the fbi at the end of last year. that is something that the manafort defense lawyers says makes him untrustworthy to a jury. trish? >> trish: thanks, peter. all right. still no comment from peter strzok on newly revealed e-mails from the fbi officials that are raising a lot of questions. judicial watch reporting shows that strzok requesting to keep his security clearance and other special powers before he joined the mueller investigation. judicial windchill president joins me right now with more details on these e-mails. all right, tom. walk us through what
