matt lewis, he is out with a piece today calling for republicans to draft amash to challenge president trump in the republican primary in 2020. he said as a conservative who has grave concerns about donalded at an unavoidable conclusion it's time to draft justin amash for president. i wonder is that a serious possibility as you are out on the campaign trail? >> i think the lessons from 2018 through now is this is donald trump's republican party. we have not seen an appetite from republicans to really have an opening for that kind of never trump republican, a kind of return to republicans of the past. so while there's certainly an appetite for that in washington, amongst more academic republican circles, among the base on the trail that's not something i've seen reflected and i don't think that's something justin amash would want to do. >> astead, sabrina, thanks very much. >>> president trump wasting no time going after his top democratic rival, but former vice president joe biden he's got an interesting response to those attacks. that is, no response. (paul) great. another wireless ad. so many of them are full of this complicated, tricky language about their network and offers and blah

donald trump jr. made a big deal of it, the president started pushing back and all of a sudden it was really dividing the republican conference in the senate. >> matt, i mean, who's -- what's burr's play here. >> he doesn't care about the political pressures and he hasn't for most of his career. so he doesn't care about the criticism, i think, and why his 2016 senate race is so competitive. he's publicly said. >> he's not going to run again. >> out of the all the candidates in many 2016, you can argue burr was the most supportive of trump, he campaigned with him, stood by him after the "access hollywood" tape. he doesn't care what the pressures are. you're right 37 he and mark warner see a clear contrast from the house committee investigations of this. they want it to be bipartisan, drama free. we're not seeing them camp out in cable news green rooms or become rock stars because of this tact. >>> you have seen warner give burr the benefit of the doubt, even when the report came out and there were conversations about did burr go to the white house inappropriately. you saw democrats privately taking a step back no we're not going to go after it. is t

matt schlapp has to say about it? >> this is going to take the wind out of the sails of impeachment. not about the faux coverage of donaldmp which is completely wrong. it'sing about going to be about the obama, biden administration. what did they know? when did they know it? what didn't they do? why didn't they stop? why did they use their powers in illegitimate way to go after political opponents? this really puts the shoe on the other stoot foot. steve: it does. yesterday, the president was asked a question in the oval office with farmers behind him mr. pat, have you talked about treason. who committed treason? he went through a list of people. it will be interesting to see how high in the department of justice this goes or how high in the fbi or how high in the administration. pete: does it go to the vice president or the president? steve: we don't know. pete: i usually agree with matt schlapp i'm not clear i do on this. he says it's going to take the wind out of the sails of impeachment. maybe. tore could accelerate it. they're now calling it a cover-up and not stopping with that talk either. ainsley: adam schiff, de

donald trump. stuart: you've got a cpac conference in sydney, australia in august. interesting. >> come down with us. it's going to be fun. stuart: that's a long ride. mattequal pay for equal work with some new regulations and some fines. what's the plan? deirdre: fine, take 1% of a company's profit for every 1% difference in wages. in other words, that doesn't pay equally between genders. right now, women who work full-time apparently are still making 80 cents on the dollar. apparently it is even worse for african-american women and hispanic women. this is according to a lily ledbetter fair pay act. stuart: big companies would have to get a certificate from the government. deirdre: yes, they would. for any contracts over $500,000 that they would do with the government, to your point, which just adds a lot more red tape. obviously this needs to be addressed in some way. not sure this is the most efficient way. stuart: what is equal work? ashley: right. deirdre: i think same title. companies have a way around that. they just don't give people the same title. stuart: isn't there a rule or law at the moment that says a lady does this, a man does that, and -

matt: it will be interesting to see what the austrian born professor actually ends up doing with this bank. his legacy is on the line. steven, thank you for your reporting. day when you're covering donaldvisit to japan where u.s. trade deals and relations with north korea top the agenda for discussions with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. stephen engle has the details from tokyo. >> donald trump in a joint has conference with is japanese host shinzo abe said he is in no hurry to resolve to this region's biggest challenges, north korea and the u.s.-china trade dispute. in addition of course to the news we got earlier they are not going to announce details until at least august of any u.s.-japan trade deal. on north korea, which dominated the joint news congress, he said he was in no rush to have a deal with kim jong-un. he said sanctions are still in place and there's nothing in a nuclear test out of pyongyang for at least a couple of years. he says kim jong-un realizes economic potential of his nation. he said "i am happy with the way it is going." on the u.s.-china trade war, he said he is not ready to make a deal with beijing. you see it said perhaps beijing should have made
