now today iowa senator joni ernst said farmers she talked with in her state would like to see the tradeispute ended. >> the farmers that i have spoken with, they have said we don't want aid, we don't need the subsidies, what we want to see is the fact that we're able to grow our goods and get those goods out to new and developing markets. so i would encourage the president to keep pushing, let's get good deals. reporter: still the commerce department finishing up a report that could add up to 25% tariffs on automobiles and auto parts. the president not backing down on trade stance and not backing down on border security. again calling for government shutdown today, in a tweet to, that the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell would not use the words government shutdown but would get money for border security. >> i support what the president is try doing on the wall. most of my members do as well, and we're trying to go through a normal appropriations process that prevents a big event at the end of the fiscal year. reporter: democrats say the party that starts the government shutdown us

he flew in this week, meeting with senator ernst this afternoon, congressman david young and taking thesage you heard from him directly to the lawmakers, who we spoke with yesterday. >> all right. to both of you, we'll be here again. we'd love to hear updates. i'm very interested in hearing about whether these elected members actually are able to do something about this or are willing to. thanks again for the great coverage of this. >>> this week, president trump sided with vladimir putin over u.s. intelligence agencies. mr. trump, listen up, we're breaking down the many ways putin has attacked other countries including america's 2016 election. in light of president trump's affronts to our own intelligence community we're honoring one. do you go last mckeern nan was the first cia officer killed in the line of duty. also the first known american casualty of the cold war. he was born in 1913 and served in the u.s. army air corps during world war ii. he was recruited to be a spy. that took him to western china where his mission was to find out how the soviets were getting uranium and learn

i'm sure members in iowa -- you have already zbljodi ernst, chu grassley. >> a couple house seats ince. >> and down south where a lot of those car companies are based. i'm sure he'll start hearing from them too. maybe he needs results to see this is maybe a bad call for people. >> the best scenario he can hope for is things end up fairly neutral. a lot of people are saying, why are you putting us through this in the first place? it ends up okay, that's not really a win unless things end up so much better that these particular farmers end up wealthier for it, which seems like a distant possibility. these segments of the economy that matter so much don't seem like they're going to gain from. >> voted for trump partly because he was confident he would bring back manufacturing jobs. now as his boss has cut back hours, they may have to let 200 more workers go. he said, i support him 100%. in fact, i'd like to shake his hand. he's going a great job. loyalty among the voters, that's now. the question is over two, three months into this, does that stick? >> i think trump has been talking abo

than me. >> girl power. >> joni ernst is a tremendous talent.y is -- he's chuck grassley, he's just incredible. he speaks and you listen, right? no games with chuck. but they've been pushing me very, very strong on the ethanol and we've been with them all the way. so i just want to thank them. they're in washington doing very important business right now. i want to thank them. kim, go ahead. >> mr. president, welcome back to iowa, a pleasure to have you back in our state. i want to welcome back ivanka and secretary acosta as well, we appreciate the time you've been in iowa seeing what we've been working on and it's a pleasure to be part of this roundtable to discuss the importance of workforce and i think we're the first state that you've stopped at to do the pledge since the executive order was signed. we're proud of our leadership role on this front and the public-private partnerships continue to build the foundation, so many of the businesses i see in the audience today have been such a phenomenal partner with our schools and our communities

with governor reynolds over the last weekend and one thing we tried to focus on, along with the joni ernstwas focusing on rural poverty. some industries have a lot of success in the rural areas, agriculture been one of the best ones. when we focus attention on providing infrastructure in those areas, we are actually focusing on a long-term, positive return on the invested dollar when we do that. it is easy for us to overlook some communities, but the good news is governors like my governor in south carolina, the governor of iowa, they are working hard to make sure that we do not forget parts of our communities that are experiencing high unemployment, as well as high poverty rates -- we need to make that different and we can, and opportunity zones have done so. if you think about the new infrastructure with a broadband, whether the new infrastructure is coming into those communities, making them more attractive, this is one of the ways we do that. touting theresident 4.1% gdp growth earlier today. there has been talk about trade recently. you have had some criticism of the president with re

he's going to be meeting with senator grassley, senator ernst, and a couple members from his delegationet hem with them and asked them that bob is going to be visiting you. what are you doing for farmers like bob. here's what they told us. >> we have three occasions to talk directly with the president of the united states at the white house with the support of other senators on this issues, with the impact it's having on prices and to american farmers. >> i understand the president's efforts, but we are caught in the process. we have to get trade deals done now. it's imperative. we are feeling the pinch now, now with the markets, as crops go down, as corn goes down. and young farmers, they may not be able to sustain the pace of the low markets. >> reporter: your two senators just there that we just heard from, note the immediate impact that this will have on farmers like you. what is it that you want, from your republican lawmakers, your delegation, here in washington, d.c.? >> i want them to continue the strong message that these export markets are important. and that we need to get th

chuck grassley, joni ernst in particular came down pretty hard saying don't do the tariffs, and theyead and there's going to be immediate implications. people aren't going to be able to -- there's going to be lost farms, a general hollowing out of rural america because people have notes due january 1st and they're not going to make good on them. >> just to remind people, i mean donald trump blew hillary clinton out in iowa. one of my favorite stats of 2016 is that hillary clinton lost texas by less than she lost to iowa. so rural iowa turned out in huge numbers in what was america's sort of best swing state indicator in the midwest for decades. has president trump lost those farmers yet, or no? >> he hasn't lost a lot of them, but he will lose some when it hits their pocket books. when your friends and neighbors are losing their farm because of tariffs, it's going to be hard to go into the voting booth and cast a vote for him, cast a vote for republicans in the midterm. one of the things that people forget is that iowa had 31 or 33 pivot counties. those are counties that ballotopedia

those first ernst's to be good and well managed yes they do need to be safe voluntary and dignified and every every refugee registered or not in pakistan has a right to it out of their own free will and we are it's support that along with other agencies but. what it was unclear or clear in two thousand and sixteen when we saw six hundred thousand refugees come back very suddenly. the course of four or five months. many hadn't been prepared many were not very well informed about the conditions they were returning to so it's these are standards which we have to to uphold and encourage the governments of pakistan to make sure happens and it's as the voluntary or patch ration process is a very sensitive one that needs to be done with enough time for people to make informed decisions some of those people who return many years ago this was. a process which they've been very happy with but we have to make sure that when tempers run high and patients runs thin that we can still support refugees to make an informed decision to come back and ideally to an area where it's safe and where they have

and joni ernst saying we want to support the president, my constituents want to support the president as well, but they can only keep that stiff upper lip before things collapse. and so, with this, it is a domestic risk for the gop? hans nichols at the white house. and, sarah huckabee sanders is singing the same song before, but with the significant of the calendar, what are you seeing? >> well, the tone is more and more in stride here nor this president, but sarah huckabee sa sanders is saying the same thing that the was said by president barack obama. and he is saying that it is about fairness, and looking at the countries signaling out, and they have the main defense in the case of germany is this idea that they contribute other ways and not just to defense spend spending. so for example, they participate in the nato mission in afghanistan, and the norwegias s will say something similarly, and that we don't make the 2%, but we contribute to nato in other ways, and looking at the top the line number is not all that useful. and another way to look at this is the considered gdp so tha

people like joni ernst and chuck grassley worrying about some terrorist affecting agriculture. could it be as simple as policies that people start not liking? >> guest: his biggest threat among the conservative base now comes down to two issues and that's budget and border. the tea party groups really go in for him that supply with a lot of the policy help that he gets come , those are the two is they want help on. they want the border wall or some kind of enforcement of the border, do what a better budget. there's a showdown coming in september. donald trump said he would never sent another big omnibus spending bill like he did earlier because that made those groups angry, like legitimate, we may bolt on you. make us do with a lot of crap but if you're not going to deliver on these two posted items can what's in it anymore? there's a confrontation coming on the budget this fall, and that will have an impact on whether the base is motivated or decides this got as a lot of trouble i don't think i can do it anymore. >> host: and on the border, such an important issue for donald t
