and this is kayla on our democrats' line. caller: hi. i'm an 18-year-old student studying political science and this is a big deal. a lot of us have been discussing together that we don't necessarily feel an impeachment right now would be the best thing. if the democrats focus on voting out president trump in the 2020 election which is almost a year away, the democrats could take over the house and the senate and focus on everything else that needs to be done. host: do you think any of the proceedings may distract from re-election efforts by democratic members? caller: i think it could seriously distract because of our democratic -- they are focused on impeaching. if you get a democratic president in the next term, we could have success for our country. host: on that, the re-election, this is political director for cbs who tweets this, fundraising, one minute of each other. text fundraising appeals by 5:40 p.m. regarding the ukraine. leo in lakewood, washington, republican line. caller: i voted for donald trump when he ran. nd i just bee

kayla is live in washington with the latest kayla. >> well the white house brian would tell you it's important these officials are meeting face-to-face just a few blocks from here, for about four hours now, a chinese dell del gags. about 30 officials deep, has been b meeting with u.s. trade officials led by the deputy u.s. trade representative the chinese side led by its vice minister of finance and on the agenda today, i'm told by two sources it is currency it is fentanyl and agriculture the only topic that has two educations where officials are going to be discussing this. of course president trump has for months said china would need to commit to buying u.s. agricultural products to unfreeze these discussions and so far, we have yet to see these materialize, but we've learned that a separate, smaller chinese delegation is going to be heading to nebraska and montana to meet face to fate with farmers early next week, so this could be a positive sign that potentially an announcement is forthcomi forthcoming, but we don't know planning for the visits which are still in the planning st

tausche with the latest on these trade tensions kayla. >> that warning this morning comes as no date set for the next round of talks between the u.s. and china and after a call thursday where china said it was making progress onw halting fentanyl shipments and asked u.s. officials for relief on tariffs. president trump plowingi=aheadn the tariffs on sunday, on $112 billion in chinese goods followed by retaliationÑiby beijing on $75 billion in u.s. goods. those tariffs from the u.s., i'm told, could have beene1 higher after learning of uhina's retaliation a couple weeks ago, president trump wanted to double existing tariffs at which point treasury secretary and the trade sector ceos to warn the president of the impact. according to three people wit&ó knowledge of that eeffort by late that friday, the president had tempered his hike to 5%.e meanwhile, china continues to pull out its own policy tools, filing wto complaints, lowersjf consumer prices, and easing regulations so shoppers go out and still spend money. whether those efforts can be effective until the 2020 election re

so kayla, what happened? >> well, we believe that china earlier today reached out to some folks that they were trying to plan these visits with and said that there had been a change in the schedule of the vice minister of agriculture and that some of these visits could no longer happen the montana farm bureau confirms to cnbc that an expected visit that was in the works for a subset of this chinese delegation to go to montana as part of multiple farm visits in america's heartland, that those are no longer happening. the secretary of agriculture, sonny perdue, just yesterday confirmed that these meetings were in the works. it was believed that this was an effort to build goodwill with america's farm community, which has been hit very hard by china's retaliation, by the state purchases ceasing on agriculture. so, we're trying to figure out exactly what this means for the state of trade talks, which have been going on for the last two days in washington and whether this represents some breakdown in talks behind

to pick up on kayla's point of currencies, what impact is the strong u.s. dollar having? >> well, this is the fly in the ointment this is, i agree, what is causing a lot of these problems. the dollar is a safety currency. it's the currency to which people leave when they're unhappy with their own currencies, with their own economies. so, despite the massive deficits the trillion dollar deficits, the very low interest rates and the prospect for more inflation, the dollars continues to be very strong that has all kind of implications and it is tough on trade. so far it means that more money is coming into the u.s., which keeps interest rates low and it is a two-edge sword. >> so, in other words, from the president's point of view because he talked about this quite a lot. you would say to him, yes, look, the dollar is stng but the flip side, you're getting stronger interest rates than we would otherwise? >> absolutely. that's how we're able to fund this $22 trillion deficit that we have because interest rates are so low it is a vote of confidence from the rest of the world i

kayla, it was really a sharp division >> it was an extremely sharp division and biden has been trying as he very clearly did it last night. we heard from advisers in the leadup to last night that he was planning to attack the candidates for the fact that it would be so difficult to pay for them and that's exactly what he did. in some case, elizabeth warren specifically had a difficult time answering that. she was asked by the moderators whether middle class taxes would go up and she did not answer that question. you also saw five candidates try to associate themselves with the care act, but if that halo effect in fact works for voters this time around, it's the vice president who's going to be able to benefit the most from that. >> john, what do you make of this pendulum swinging in the democratic party you've got a group of candidates who are very far to the left and trying to pull the party off to the left when you have another group of candidates who are, like, let's just win back the middle and anyone but trump, try to beat trump in this next election how does this whole debate pl

kayla tausche joins us kayla. >> reporter: good morning, melissa. and u.s. and chinese principles were set. the media fanfare led to the cancellation of a foreign visit this week. china's vice president of agriculture said those visits will happen when the chinese are invited separately tariffs will not escalate as planned ahead of the talks "the wall street journal" reporting that's because the hotel will call about the escalating tensions. wall street analysts aren't terribly optimistic. they say they're not expecting a deal before the 2020 election but there's greater chance that they will go into effect there will be little shift in the content of the talks we'll see whether the shift around the principles takes place. andrew >> i want to get back to our guest hosts this morning, senator rick scott >> nothing is changing >> nothing is changing. >> i talked to bob lighthizer. they're working to get something done think about it, they're not going to stop stealing our technology that's a non-starter they're not going to open up like the wto requir
