larry kudlow speaking to reporters about the government shutdown moments ago let's get to eamon javers at the white house. >> reporter: that's right. larry kudlow still speaking here in the white house driveway over to my left i want to bring you up to speed on some of the comments that he's made so far kudlow saying in response to a question about the economic impact of the government shutdown, larry kudlow saying you are going to get a temporary glitch in the numbers in terms of the economic impact on the economy, though kudlow insists that the economy is doing very well he also says we're going to beat 3% gdp in the fourth quarter when that number comes out, so kudlow painting a very rosy picture of the economy, despite the fact of the government shutdown he says the president hates these stories of hardship of federal employees who are going without paychecks. he says he wants to get a deal but he also supports the president and believes he's doing the right thing in terms of pushing for that border wall. he says finally calmer heads will prevail ultimately. and then he was asked an interesting

we are joined by white house economic counselor, larry car drove. thank you for coming out in the cold. it is before the storm. let's talk about a storm. >> it's a great day to be a live. >> it seems things are working out well. has china conceded adult points so that were not going to have to raise tariffs on march 1? >> it's impossible to answer that question. we made progress with china and the deputies meeting in beijing last week. nothing has been resolved. nothing on contract. i want to be an optimist about china trade. the president has indicated a certain amount of optimism. he is communicating with chinese president. but some of these news reports are inaccurate and incorrect. that does not mean in the next several months or so we cannot have very good deals on china trade. i'm not ruling that out. but these reports are suggesting right now that things are done, things are agree to. the technology staff has not been dealt with. the enforcement stuff has not been dealt with. the commodity and tariff rates, were moving on the right track. i w

white house economic official larry kudlow said the talks themselves are positive. >> we've never t had anythins comprehensive. i regard that as a big plus.ho these are worked out we'll have to wait and see. the president has expressed some, isa would guarded optimism with the talks. >> treasury sectary steven mnuchin has been trying to manage expectations. >> let me just remind people, wv do another 30 days after this, so my expectation is that we'll mak significant progress at these meetings. but i would just emphasize, these are complicated issues. we have a timeline of how we've mapped out the 90 days. >> overshadow mg thetings are criminal charges of the u.s. filed on monday against china's huawei and a push to extradite its cfo. the commerce and justice department says that situation iseparate from trade, but the president has said he's willing to intervene in the huawei case if it means a better trade deal. for "nightly buness report," i'm kayla tausch >>> now to euniceeun in beijing for a look at how china is approaching the talks. >> u.s. a chi negotiators are hoping to reach a

a lot of things coming out of the white house this morning. we want to ask larryer. can they quantify the hit the economy is going to take as a result of all of this. another big question is china and this meeting that will be happening next week, whether china actually wants a deal. you've been asking all these questions as well, bill. let's get to larry kudlow. we've got him now. larry, are you there? >> i'm here, thank you very much for having me. >> sandra: good to have you back on "america's newsroom." thank you for taking the time to do it. if you can, what were these remarks? it seemed that kevin hassett poured cold water on a lot of things of the economy and markets this morning talking about the possibility of zero growth this quarter if the shutdown continues. is it that bad? >> look, kevin hassett is a dear friend and colleague and the smartest guy in the building. let me read you a statistic that came out this morning that i think is the most important thing i've seen since the shutdown began. initial jobless claims, initial jobless claims that come ou

whatever was to me the only real takeaway from what larry said is the fact that larry came on showing that the whiteing sure that the market likes whatever comes out of the u.s./china negotiations not about the details of a meeting or was one or was not one. the white house being so intently focused on the incremental move in the dow to get something done to me, the only reason the market would have bounced on this. >> charlie, what do you think? i mean, first we saw the market take a leg lower on those u.s./china trade headlines and then kudlow came on and pared the reactions. overreaction here? >> yeah. i would say the market was more down on the lousy earnings this morning. for the first time we had some industrial companies come out with some numbers pretty disappointing. i own stanley black & decker and what they had to say was not pleasant we were off for that and then the chinanus sent us down another couple hundred china is one thing, face it, we the it's noise, short-term worries of short-term problems trade wars and a breakdown in global trade is not a small issue. that is a big issue. so

that comment has been criticized by a number of people as perhaps out of touch larry kudlow was here at the whiteouse talking to reporters a few moments ago. i asked him about ross's excellent. he declined to criticize wilbur ross later he was asked by a reporter about it again and he made a defense of those federal workers who are continuing to show up for work even though they're not being paid here's what he had to say. >> give them credit. okay they honor us. they honor us by their service i don't care whether you're a republican or democrat i mean that sincerely. democrats have shut government down you know what i'm saying they honor us. and they do it because of their love for the country and the office of the presidency and presumably their allegiance to president trump but whatever, they're doing it give them some credit. >> very different tone everybody larry kudlow saying that federal employees by showing up for work honor us and they do it for love of country he said and give them some credit. larry kudlow interestingly was asked by a reporter had he used the word volunteering earlier

however, speaking first on cnbc, white house economic advisor larry kudlow denied that any official meetings have been canceled >> the story is not true. >> we will be crossing live to the main stage here at davos from 1500 cet as the chinese vice president addresses delegates at the world economic forum. you certainly don't want to miss that >>> ahead of those comments, cnbc had learned that u.s. officials had rejected preparetory trade talks. according to our source, the discussions had been called off due it a lack of progress. specifically, over the enforcement of intellectual property rules the white house responded saying the negotiating team remain in touch in preparation for high level talks at the he wantend oe month. >>> meanwhile, president trump won't back down on his tough stance towards china unless beijing makes real structural reforms to under the circumstances economy. this according to reuters. >>> delegates have been telling us that a trade war is at the heart of the trade tensions. >> australia took a position that we would not allow huawei to participate that's what we b

. >> at the white house later, national economic council director larry kudlow ted to clarify that remark, while acknowledging there's still a lot more work >> the scope of this thing is so grand, that's a good thing cause we've never beeo comprehensive. on the other hand, we have miles to go before we sleep. china, however, is optimistic. at the world economic forum in davos, top regulatory official saying he believes president trump watches the stock market and doesn't want it to drop. in recent weeks, the marketas h risen on news of a truce between the countries at the g-20, butn since t advisers have said they don't want to lose the opportunity to press china to igke long-term changes. as the trade with china lingers on, house republican allies wanting to arm trump with more tools. >> they're more of a bludgeon an a scalpel. >> unveiling a product that would let him put tariffs on countries wh the stroke of a pen. >> i'm a free trade guy, i don't like tariffhe whenresident says this tool is necessary and mr. lighthizer says i need this tool, i want to give them the n fight ande ameri

incidentally, white house adviser larry kudlow came out a couple days ago and actually said he believes will be a snap-back. now that the government's reopened, all the paychecks that have been held up and the mortgages that need to go out, you will see that in a burst and maybe that's what the market is reacting to today. but again, going forward here, you are looking at democrats saying the president saw it their way. the president saying well, now we can come together and have a frank discussion or he will declare a national emergency. liz? liz: edward lawrence, thank you very much. edward just mentioned the markets. the dow is still holding on to significant gains here, up 175 points. earlier, though, i should tell you it was up 306 points. s&p high of the session, up 30. we are right now for s&p about, let me quickly check here to make sure we have the updated number, 21 points. as we look at the markets here, we should mention politics becomes business. the list of 2020 hopefuls to run for president, even as we speak, is growing moment by moment. another notable name in business a

white house economic advisor larry kudlow insists the u.s. still has the hottest economy in the world even with the shutdow shutdown. >> the direction, the trend, the surge, the improvement is all in place, this shutdown which is regrettable, i don't like hardships anymore than the next person -- although i think the president is 100% right with respect to border security, nothing is changing. >> john: we'll have more on the shutdown effects later on in the program. russia is accusing the united states of trying to stage a coup in venezuela and warning against military intervention there. yesterday the opposition leader in venezuela declared himself to be president and was immediately recognized as such by the united states. tonight, the country's allies are lining up behind the current president maduro. here's where things stand right now. >> a day of nationwide protests leaves volunteers extinguishing fires in the presidency contested. newly declared interim president is unclear, president nicolas maduro says he's staying in office and vene

stance is that the congressional budget office is wrong and the white house is keeping on the idea a shutdown could actually happen. larrylow, ao top ecnomic officer at the white house, says the budget office is otesstimating and they're sure whether or not they can put out the numbers. he said there's no permanent damage to the u.s. economy and tdat the economy will snap back and this shun was in fact just a small, tem temporary thig that happened. the president is again leaving coe door open that therld be another shutdown in three week the white house press secretary sarah sanders today said he miesn't want a pass to citizenship for ants and wants the full $5.7 billion. thepresident has been dangling this idea of a national t emergency. a republicans are signaling they don't want him to do that. we'll see where this goes. >> woodruff: the president said we could be back in a shutdown if history is a guy. could we? >> if you last at past shutdowns almost always end in a short-term bill and not another shutdown. the party who leverages and tries to get something on the shutdown never gets it andwa usually doesn' another

there was this today from white house economic adviser larry kudlow. >> as soon as this thing goes, the switch will be turned on, the payments will be made, we will go back to normal. this is just a glitch. i don't think i'm out of touch. i am addressing the problem. i met with my staff members and god bless them, they're working for free. they're volunteering. >> how would you call working without pay volunteering? >> they're showing up. >> but that's not volunteering if you're forced to work without pay. if you don't show up, you lose your job. that's not what volunteering means. they do it because of their love for the country and the office of the presidency and presumably their allegiance to president trump. whatever, they're doing it. give them some credit. >> then there are the comments from will better ross, the commerce secretary who has been called the king of bankruptcy in the business world because of his record of buying broke companies and because of his great personal wealth. he was in the news not long ago for a pair of $600 velvet slimmers he apparently customize with t

there is a crisis that the white house may not be prepared. >> you have larry kudlow calling it a glitch. you had trump calling it pain but better for the better good. wilbur ross today says it is not a big deal. hassett says the other day it is a free vacation for all of these employees. we are going to get to that later on. we have all that sound. the way they are talking about this hans, i mean it is striking how out of touch these people are. >> they are speaking to their base and people really want to have that wall built or with the president proceeding his base to have. as good as anyone on this knowing where donald trump can move and mix his own base to get the outcome that he wants. they seem to be insistent that this is something they'll lose a lot of political so forth for, they think the faith of the country on it and they're standing by it. it is a question of how much longer nancy pelosi can hold out. the president blinks. i don't know if that means he's going to be more resolved on the bigger story or he's going to blink first on the shutdown. >> donald trump believer base

hand that he wants a deal that's favorable to the american people, an issue that larry kudlow has been raising at the whiteely these negotiations are making some progress behind the scenes despite what appears to have been some miscommunication about a potential meeting with chinese officials before a scheduled meeting at the end of this month with the chinese vice premier. that little wrinkle, white house and aides around the president are sailing past, suggesting that the meeting at the end of the month in terms of chinese negotiations is the one that really matters. >> thank you, eamon. >> you bet. >> eamon javers at the white house for us >>> hulu is making changes of its own. julia boorstin join us with a look be at the late northwest the streaming wars julia? >> comcast shares rising after growth in the fourth quarter it lost fewer pay tv subscribers than suggested steve burke saying the ad-supported streaming service they're launching next year will strengthen the value of their pay tv bundle and generate ad revenue as well as the popularity of nbc universal content. this comes as hulu, of which com

we went do you think the white house did not report larry by tweet or anything yesterday after nancy pelosi's letter to the president suggesting he change the date state of the union because they were waiting for the exact timing to try to stick it to them? >> john: if this is not an attempt to stick it to nancy pelosi way but here to keep her in the country to negotiate. >> dana: okay, i'm buying it, anyway, it is better than pete, you have to understand. political drama, the most i've seen in a long time. do we have peter doocy at the bus rush to mark john, i want to bring in peter doocy. our people on that bus, peter? >> dana, the windows are tinted so it is tough to see. john can push in here may be. you can see there are lawmakers seated on the bus marked up with u.s. airport insignia. you can see how close we are, right in the shadow across the street from the main capitol rotunda and we are in between the office buildings where lawmakers have the state offices. so they came on town, loaded up their gear in the baggage compartments underneath, got in, and they are here with uni

white house economic advisory larry kudlow doubled down on this administration let them eat cake attitudeere is no resolution this will headed into day 3-day 37, over the weekend as we head into this i believe now, 6th weekend, of a partial government shutdown. maria: wow, blake thank you blake burman at the white house joining me to talk more about that, is arizona congressman house committee on oversight government reform member congressman good to have you on program thanks very much for joining us a what is the answer here? >> well the answer is i think the president has at his disposal the ability to move money to build some infrastructureive been one of the people actually sounding off on this he can rearrange some armyy corps of engineers to do that, taking on drug interdictions building wall with correspond dozen i think time the president actual used that statutory relief not emergen declaration but parse he has. >> 43% americans in favor of border wall increase from september 2018 you spent two days at tuson sector. border tell us what you found there, and what -- can you how ka

announcer: the director of the white house national economic council spoke to reporters about the economy and the shutdown. larry carlos comments are about 20 minutes. is on you, brother. >> can i take the hat off? >> no, it is a good hat. >> not everybody wants me to wear the hat. happy new year. >> [indiscernible] >> infrastructure is important. are working through a lot of good options. give me a couple more weeks to do it. >> [indiscernible] >> i do not want to do numbers. we are working through it. importantly here, not only do we have our priorities. remember, we talking bridges and highways. we are also talking major improvement in our energy infrastructure. where the global, dominant energy power. we want to increase that. so we're working with all the agencies to come up with something. do you think the shutdown will hurt the economy? >> i want to be evenhanded. offrom what you have seen economic data, how long can the u.s. economy withstand a government shutdown without these effects becoming more widespread and hurting growth? mr. kudlow: you are going to get a temporary glitch in the numbers. i think

those are the responses off facebook and there was a response from the white house economic council of advisors, larryudlow appeared at the white house to talk about the figures and was asked what he thought about those initial estimates. here is what he had to say. with frequently disagree cbo. they are doing the best job they can. i won't acknowledge any of that right now. in a $20 trillion economy, it's awfully hard to make even the best guesstimate of those kinds of small fractions of numbers. let's see how it rolls out. we will get a gdp report in about a week from q4. it will take longer than the first quarter. i think you have a bunch of temporary factors and now that the government has reopened, the switch goes right back on. there is certainly no permanent damage to the economy. with the greatest respect to my friends at cbo who often disagree with us and don't acknowledge the importance of our tax cuts, no, i don't really agree. host: those are comments on the $3 billion permanently lost because of the shutdown. bill starts us, virginia beach, republican line. caller: thank you for taking my

right now you have figures such as john kasich and larry hogan where i'm not sure the rnc or white house credible challengers to trump in a primary, but this is still two years away. a lot can happen. but, again, you know polling fl fluctuates. but the fact that sentiment was there such that the rnc was thinking about it, should give this president pause when wondering whether the party will rally behind him in 2020. >> we found it striking that given how high kamala harris is ranking so far in this washington post abc poll, she's right up there with biden. other is the most. 12% of people may be looking for something else. the president has never once attacked her. he attacked elizabeth warren, joe biden, you name it. why not kamala harris. >> i think she is now getting on the president's radar. you saw the big crowd he was able to draw over the weekend. he's looked at so many candidates on the democratic side that he hasn't gotten around to everybody yet. but now that senator harris is starting to get a lot of buzz, you can expect the president to train his sights on her pretty soon. s

mnuchin who, how do i say this, maybe he heads the free trade wing inside the white house, which would include our friend larrybe kevin haset in there against the peter navarro and lighthizer and you have to say that the instincts of the president have leaned that way, right so you have these two camps and now you have a story which is not exactly a story, but says mnuchin has brought this up in the white house and does not appear to be policy at this point. but the idea that you can just see how sensitive the market is, the one thing that might make this more of a true story is all the things weighing on the market and the renewed concern about the economic effects of the shutdown you have to think that's arm tria arbitrage against let's lighten up on the trade side if i lop a quarter or half off global economic weakness, lop another quarter off, pretty soon you lop off ought the quarters. >> the cynic in you think that we're going to get one or the other. that easing off on china means the government shutdown may be actually prolonged or that that's the thinking within the administration we know this -- this

use saysthe white this is a democratic idea, it's really an idea that stephmi er backs. i should also add, larry kudlow, the director of the nationalom ec council, he was out at the white house today, and he said we understand there is human suffering but at the end of the day, human security iat risk and we have to keep pushing for the president's plan. i just got off th pho with several source as well, they're not sure the president would pass a demoratic versiof this if it was topaz, even though it's a long shot, that it would pass. >> woodruff: not sure he would sign it if it would pass. meantime, there has been back-and-forth over the stu address which the preside would give towards the end ofnu jay. what's the latest on that? >> the state of the union negotiations is basical of chicken right now. the president is saying, "i'm going to be givinthe state of the union. i'm going full on. i'm preparing as should." er the weekend the white house sent an email to the sergeant at arms at the congress, as well as house officials they say, that we want to do a walk-through. we want to get ready and

. >> the director of the national white house economic council spoke to reporters about the economy and the shutdown. very cut those comments are -- larry kudlow's comments are about 20 minutes. >> i love the hat. not everybody wants to wear the hat. happy new year. important.ure is lot ofworking through a options, a lot of good options. give me a couple more weeks to do it. numbers, we are working through it. there are a handful of important options. importantly here, not only do we want our priorities, we are talking highways, bridges and so forth. we are also talking major improvement in our energy infrastructure. we are the global dominant energy power. we want to increase that. we are working with all the agencies to come up with something. we went from what you have seen of the economic data, how long can the u.s. economy withstand a government shutdown without becoming more widespread and hurting growth? >> you are going to get a temporary number. i will have a particular disagreement. i think the modeling is difficult. how long, i do not want to speculate. , let's do the here and now. this morning we had a number from the u.s. e

check out "fox & friends"' interview with white house economic advisor and the cryptkeeper's wingman-- ( laughter ) larry >> the president tweeted out something about we're getting rid of 40% tariffs on cars. you know, we haven't heard anything official about that. can you explain what happened? >> i think it's coming, okay? and i'll tell you why. >> well, he already told us. give us some details! >> stephen: "come on, larry! we're sitting on this couch putting our asses on the line for you guys every day! give it to me straight: where are the details of this china deal, and why hasn't the caravan murdered me yet?" ( laughter ) now, kudlow went on to explain that the tariff reduction that trump announced was more of an aspiration. >> it hasn't been signed and sealed and delivered yet, but, look, i think they're going to go to zero. in my view, i think the president expects them to go to zero. >> stephen: you can't just say something happened because you expect it's going to! that's like sending out announcement cards like this one: "it's a boy! i'm going on my first date with this woman tonight, and i th

the senior white house economic adviser larry kudlow was suggesting that this will be a short-lived painful situation, that there will be a quick snapback and the economy will recover, but there's no plan right now to reopen the government and for there to be any sort of a snapback quickly. and, oh, by the way, we're not just talking about the 800,000 federal workers going without pay but also the millions of contract workers, they will not get back pay if and when the government reopens. they're really out of luck completely. >> that's an important point. all right, tom, thank you. >>> now to those new proposals to reopen the government, they're expected to be put to a le vote on the hill today -- excuse me, tomorrow, and as that plays out, the president is pushing ahead with plans to deliver his state-of-the-union address next week. nbc's white house correspondent kristen welker has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. as the urgency builds to end the shutdown, president trump does seem determined to give his state of the union address despite house speaker nancy pe

the positive side is okay, they better be right about this, you get this out of the white house, mick mulvaney, larryeve enough, mnuchin is over there and kudlow is not. neil: i didn't think anyone from the administration could go. >> i thought he is going. neil: i like it better when it is just the corporate business heavyweights, the politicians like macron is not there, merkel not there, i think you get a better read of the makeup of the world without politics when these guys are not there. >> i don't know, that place, unlike the milkin conference, that is a very hands on, granular conference where -- this place is 30,000 feet. you know, just -- neil: all big names, they're all there. they have pretty big names. >> they have a lot of fun swinging swiss miss. the point -- neil: you ran into swiss miss a couple years ago. >> i did. very cute lady. neil: sure. >> the point i'm trying to make -- neil: to a man and woman they're all saying this. they're worried. >> this is what mick mulvaney would say, what larry kudlow would say, we just cut corporate taxes a lot. we'll get some bang for the buck out

larry kudlow absolutely knows this. he's been working internally at the white house to try to get out of these trade wars.get a deal with china. it leaves us exactly where i said. which is neither the u.s., nor china cab afford for this train war to get out of hand. that includes i-phones. u.s. market can't deal with that. the chinese stock market certainly can't. there's pressure on both sides. it leave us with an absolute necessity for a deal to be made by the deadline. >> personally, i'm taking the highly intellectual approach of never opening my statement. what i don't know can't hurt me. for people who maybe are even a little brighter than that, what should they be looking for today? >> a lot of the same stuff we've been saying. the stocks and companies the most impacted are the ones that like you and josh brown and ben white have pointed out, once they get a lot of their business from outside the united states. in the asia pacific region and china. we talk about companies like boeing and caterpillar. tiffany, nike. these are big consumer names we all know very well. they have a real world impact whe
