host: our guest is david hawkings. comment from one of our viewers on twitter -- the whistleblower is less important than someone who was actually on the call. the people on the call will not show up at set for colonel ndman. the g.o.p. has been attacking his arrest city a tax on his nationality. in my opinion, this shows they are afraid of the truth. guest: you are right, cornel vindman is the only person on the call who has testified. a couple of people who were supposed to appear this week were on the call. it has been fascinating for me -- i figured colonel showing up in his uniform would have been insulated from the kind of attacks he has faced. back to our theme of the day, which is, polarization is really, really intense. things you would have thought , norms weer times would have predicted seem to get knocked down day after day. host: can they force secretary of state mike pompeo who was also on the call to testify? guest: they could subpoena him. they could make a big deal. everouse has not really proved that

if they were to retaliate, that would further push the hawks in washington to maybe seek a tougher line. davidwell, the person that matters is president trump, and i think trump once a deal. he's been carefully talking up the market in preparation for such a deal. i know that we've been there before earlier this year, and then it sort of fell away, but i think when you look at how china and beijing has responded previously, it has generally .een measured chineseon't think the are going to ratchet it up, and i don't think therefore trump will do so. but what it does underscore is that even if we get a phase one trade deal, this political rivalry between the u.s. and china and ongoing tensions are going to be a feature of the landscape for the for siebel future. -- for the foreseeable future. guy: let's talk about what happens in the near-term. does it matter if we don't get a trade deal by the 15th? that is when the next round of tariffs go on. the assumption now seems to be that the u.s. will simply bypass that and suspend the tariff increase for the time being. markets do think that are on ho

hawks i am tired bro. all right earlier i was joined by journalist blogger and author of the new book peace all my back david swanson to discuss the controversy surrounding trump pardons and the united states hypocrisy on all things war crimes take a listen. well he said he wants to give soldiers going forward a sense of confidence apparently confidence that they can shoot civilians that they can kill prisoners and these are the these are the crimes killing civilians without the use of a drone right if you if you're a president and you kill a bunch of civilians with a missile from a drone there's no prosecution but if you do it with a gun then very occasionally there is a prosecution and i think trump is stating quite clearly that's an acceptable parts of the war and in fact i would point out that it's the majority of what these wars consist of civilians are the vast majority of the victims so that the problem is on the one hand that the higher ups and the vast majority of participants in these wars are not being prosecuted. but when a few people are trump is saying we won't have that we will have confidence

hawks. welcome back to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle dream and you are discussing impeachment. ok let me go back to david in st paul a i'm really glad that you gave us a very short history lesson in the 1st part of the program here i think one of the obviously one of the unique elements of this impeachment effort is that you we and christopher alluded to it earlier is that we basically have the deep state people in the executive branch undermining their boss ok over policy differences or their vision of what policy should be nobody elected any of these people here and i'm sorry from as far as i'm concerned these people they were there are a cartoon version of what an expert would be critical in the country like ukraine in even russia itself here so david i mean this is an unusual a chapter in pietschmann process in the u.s. because you have basically state functionaries undermining the chief executive who was elected duly elected in sworn in as president of the united states go ahead and st paul. well we have a couple of things that are going on here you know what is well you know i'm not you know i'm no

hawks. the fact he is willing to sign it in another location, for example iowa as the president has floated as one of the options, is significant. david: mr. ross talk to our colleague and suggested we probably are going forward with phase one. at the same time he said phase two may require legislation in china. is that reducing our expectations of anything happening in phase two? jenny: if you look back to our reporting a weaker two ago, we heard from chinese officials that they are very skeptical anything might come after the first phase has concluded. that is because they expect the president to rollback all of the existing tariffs and that is on $360 billion. we have heard from the white house that is not on the table at this point. anything that would go beyond agriculture purchases and may be some commitments on intellectual property the chinese are going forward with anyway, regardless of the u.s. china deal, would require a big give on the u.s. side. that is the big question is if the president is willing to go there. david: thank you so much. that is our colleague jenny leonard from washington. now we turn to greg farrell, we

david: what are you going to do about the issue? as i look at the candidates, i don't see anybody, republican or democrat, that says we are going to control spending. i don't see any deficit hawksou back certain candidates in the race is, how can you affect the race? tim: in the near term, trying to shine a light on these budget bills. the stopgap will will be voted in washington. it's a terrible way to do business. it is on the discretionary side. we want to shine a light on how destructive and wasteful this is, all the cronyism, special interest in washington, tax breaks, rebates. shine a light on that in the near term. i hear people say discretionary is a tiny bit of the budget, you have to go to entitlements. but until you can get a handle on discretionary spending, you will never get to entitlement reform. david: what is not a fraction of the economy is health care, of gdp, and many people believe that is a tax on industry. the rest of the countries around the world are paying closer to 10%. that is certainly on the agenda for the democrats right now. one is a constructive approach? tim: a couple of things happening at the state level that offers hope. florida passed somet
