this is trade weighted duterte.ghted philippines with greater convexity right now. how do you link in the politics of a given em with what you will observe in the litmus paper of your fx system? marc: the question becomes one of confidence in a country's policies, to address the structural issues. the you have a weakened lyrical system it undermines their confidence, and that becomes a target. for politics, current account deficit and rising inflation fuels this negative spiral. do they respond to the imf news yesterday out of buenos aires? go along buenos aires. is that what you do? marc: that is not the way we usually react. tom: argentina, they called 1-800-madame lagarde and said load the boat. marc: it is potentially a good protection for argentina. types of fairly extreme situations, that is what countries have to do. imf, do: if you look at we need to actually rethink the role of the imf? is the imf, what it has done with greece and other emerging markets, i'm not saying greece is an emerging market but you c

making these comments that seem to be somewhat sip of athletic to the autocratic rulers, putin or duterte in the philippines and that she would be a pith more cautious and conventional on the foreign front. i think that would make a difference. on the domestic front i suspect she would have done more of the same, hyper regulation and hyper tax policy and i think the economy would have suffered if she had become president. what i learn over the last several years is that many people felt the economy wasn't moving or growing as fast as it should be simply because there was too much fear of washington. washington was too much of a meddling force. this is where president trump has an advantage over hillary. i think he got that message. and i think the economy in part moved forward because of his economic policies with the exception of trade. i disagree with the president's policy on trade which i think is going to harm economic growth. although hillary had similar positions that was very much protectionist in many ways as donald trump. >> final question here. you talk about the idea of servin

these are the kinds of actions taken by people like erdogan in turkey, duterte in the philippines and, of course, putin in russia, all three dictators basically. the president very much admires them. so the rule of law with regard to this president is of no consequences. he does not respect the rule of law. >> rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general is the person overseeing and supervising is the mueller probe because jeff sessions is recused. the president was asked about his confidence in him today. i want to get your reaction what the president said. >> do you have confidence in rod rosenstein? >> what's your next question please. >> i'm a reporter. >> excuse me, i have the president of south korea here. >> yes, i have a question. >> he doesn't want to hear these questions if you don't mind. >> after a five-minute rant about a meeting happening over classified information with devin nunes. what do you make of that reaction? >> i think the president who started with a big lie that the mueller investigation is a witch hunt is proceeding with that. i think he is setting the stage

the president is buddies with duterte out of the philippines, he's buddies and said very complimentaryvladimir putin. he said the same things about kim jong-un. and he's obviously good friends with erdogan who we all know is another head of state that's an authoritarian. >> i don't know how any fan white or black or hispanic, and i know they love the nfl teams, i grew up in an nfl town, i live in one now, washington. the people white and black love theireams like you can't maj. they wear the players' names on their backs, the kids do. they get war paint and everything on in d.c. how can you root for a player carrying your heart in an nfl sunday afternoon game? how do you care about that guy as a champion at the same time know you've gagged the guy, humiliated the guy and told him he can't express his first anticipate rights? this is disquieting, dahntay. it's disquieting morally to me. i don't know how anybody can like an apart hide world where people are told what to do and not to do in that way please come back. i don't think this is the last word thanks to guys like you. up next, tr

it's the kind of thing erdogan does in turkey and duterte in the philippines.t an american president does yet it's happening now. and this idea that oh, dear there is a coming crisis, we're in the middle of it. this is outrageous. this is serious. >> i agree. >> we talked last hour about the fact that american presidents don't do this, nixon tried it and it ended badly for him but you say that just four years ago, erdogan, the autocrat that runs turkey tried doing the same thing. >> there's many parallels with erdogan. he tried to fire the people investigating him, he called it a witch-hunt, he said it was a victim of the deep state then he purged the justice department in turkey. he also uses the same strategy to go after media outlets that trump tried to do with the post office because soft authoritarians, as they're called, use financial leverage to shut down media outlets rather than blatantly shutting them down. so we have a situation where trump is trying to behave like a despot. whether he does or not it should be alarming to all of us. republicans are d
