mcintosh knows, has to balance the budget by constitution or by necessity. my motto when i was in office is there's no such thing as government money. there's only taxpayer money. they've forgotten that in washington, led by the president. they think it's their money and it's not. >> governor, let me play devil's advocate about the debt. there have been folks like yourself and others who have been talking about that if this debt keeps increasing, it's going to be a drag on the economy. it hasn't been a drag on the economy yet. why? >> well, it's going to be a drag not just on the economy but on our national security because we're effectively relying on other countries to buy our treasury bills to, you know, get us out of this terrible deficit position we're in or to forestall the united states going into bankruptcy. that's economics 101. so it's just very much against the economic interests of the american people to keep going in this direction. everybody who thinks about it knows it. furthermore, in my view, it no longer matters what the president says. tha

lets them trump that an and sign upr the big spending bills. >> host: as you business, by david mcintosh looking at theci numbers of use national debt now at $22.5 trillion, the cost per taxpayer nearly $183,000. in our interview with the president he said it reelecteded he would begin to cut the debt and deficit but he did promise to post balance the budget in e first four years. he hasn't donepr that. >> guest: the debt and deficit problems offering this and they get worse. the fact we are borrowing nearly 5% of gdp when where neither at war nor any cold war and were i a massive fiscal economic expansion is historic. they need to be addressed. that said, i think political reality is the case that you can't do with that without significant tax increases. if the the president were to ln this issue in the event of a reelection, he would have to do so in a way that ronald reagan did, with social security which is to convene a bipartisan commission with people of goodwill on both sides and be willing to give a little in order to get a little. that would question whether the conservative win

joining me, jess mcintosh.ector of the new york state democratic party. good to see you both. >> good to be here. >> thanks. >> in our latest cnn poll voters were asked to name up to three candidates besides their current choice for the nomination they that wanted to hear more about and it was bill de blasio who got 2%, steve bullock who got 1%, so, jess, what do these candidates need to say tonight to grab attention? >> well, you know, honestly, i'm not sure there is a ton that bill de blasio can do tonight. he got a lot of airtime on the debates that he was able to be on stage in. i think he showed people who he was and what he was about and people maybe didn't react as positively to that as he would like. steve bullock on the other hand, i think is one of the candidates who is right now polling at that under 1% who really does have the opportunity to make a different compelling message. he's the governor of a red state that is very -- he's very popular in montana. right now, he's the only governor of a red s

club for growth president david mcintosh, our guest.obvious question to start off with here is what turned things around? >> well, connell, i think it's the great economic policies that the president has had first with the tax cuts and particularly on deregulation and across the board at various agencies. that's unleashed great economic growth. we have seen it for the last two and a half years. six million new jobs, half a million of them in manufacturing, lowest unemployment particularly for minorities and groups that typically are left out of economic expansions. so it's the result of good economic policy that lead us to support president trump. we think he's doing a great job on those and are looking forward to six more years of that. connell: any chance any of that or a good percentage of that is undone by trade policy? i would assume you guys aren't necessarily on board with everything going on in trade. >> yeah. we are very much free traders. we view tariffs as a tax. i think the president has shown that what he's doing is using t

announcer: tomorrow on newsmakers, david mcintosh, president of the club for growth, talks about theause for recent stock market volatility and president trump's trade policy. >> what is happening i think that is causing a lot of that volatility in the marketplace, is the president's strategy with china has required that we impose significant tariffs on china. those are ultimately cost to the american people. at one point, i think he ar

. >> jess mcintosh was director of communications out reach, rich benjamin wrote the book searching fors first, maybe not a ringing endorsement coming from your wife, but is she wrong? >> yes. i love dr. jill biden, i'm a huge fan of hers, logically, the reason she's wrong, we are terrible at predicting who is electable. m.i.t. romney, barack obama, bill clinton, hillary clinton, donald trump, we were wrong on every single one, everyone that was supposed to win lost, everyone that was supposed to lose lost. telling somebody to ignore their gut is literally telling them to throw the primary, because we have no idea who can western, we never do. aside from the logic, telling us to settle now is way too early. like it's still light out, the bar is still full, there's no need to settle. >> going by at least the numbers, most folks want to pick the person who will beat trump, is that settling if you want to pick the person who's going to take down the man in the white house? >> it's totally settling, we haven't been through the primary yet, we think those numbers are artificially inflated be

joining us abbey philips, john avalon and josh mcintosh. and one poll, but it's a poll that shows this three way race. the margin of error is 6%, so again it could be broad there. but if you are the biden campaign and electability is your thing, this is not a poll you want to see. >> certainly not. and basing your campaign on the notion of electability is not a strong base for your campaign. i could name just about everybody within my lifetime, we've gotten it wrong. so that's not the way to decide a primary. a primary is supposed to be decided on who you actually want to nominate the most. in that case i think we're seeing the electorate is more progressive than the media generally gives us credit for. an ultramillionaire's tax cut is high among progressives. >> those ideas are not actually popular at all among the electorate at large. >> they are true but not as popular among progressives. >> what you're seeing is, though, the polarization of the parties is leading to more unrepresented candidates who the base gets fired up about. elizabe

. >> he's attacking the fed chair jay powell and he has horrendous judgment and jess mcintosh and said anthony scaramucci was a nut job so jay powell should be happy he only got horrendous judgment and not a nut job. the way he chooses to attack criticism or people not doing the things he wants to do is to go right to the insult. >> of course. and this is the problem with propaganda, it runs up with reality. he could criticize everybody who suggests the economy is showing signs of slowing down and say that -- he could have his people come out and say a inverted yield curve is not math happens and the propaganda falls and as an expert in this field and propping up folks who may or may not be, i think eventually the american people will see through it and already started to feel it as peter was saying. they are paying more. he's talking about consumers having more money than they know what to do with. usually american presidents don't call americans consumers and i don't know anybody who feels so financially secure they're really excited he's getting all excited he's distracting and not

what did you think about david mcintosh? caller: i have a comment for the intellectual properties.ou are in a foreign country -- you chose to go over there for low labor. if they still your secrets, oh well. our great american plants going over for cheap labor, giving up a lot of our smarts over china and that. host: thanks for the call from kansas. thanks for sticking around on the phone line. jd out of alabama, the line for those who say we are winning the trade war. why is that? bear out,e statistics china's economy has faltered and slowed to the lowest level it has been in 30 years. if you take the time to read the english language papers out of thechina, you will hear in voices of the editorials and the commenters, china is facing a slowdown they are not accustomed to and this is a direct result of president trump's parties against red china. you always encourage recommendations for guests for your program. something that has been extraordinarily absent, derelict, there has been so few people about this, the weaker -- wieger people. has had 2e government million people in conc

>> white privilege mentioned in quotes by peggy mcintosh in a paper at wellesley college.ed for this to become a flashpoint or for it to be weaponized. now it is because it's getting mixed up with class privilege. this is purely about something like, when you go to the airport are you afraid you're going to get pulled aside, when you get pulled oef over by a cop, are you afraid for your life? when you go to the go rrocery store, are you being followed around because they think you might steal something? >> race relations in the country, 56% of whites say it's generally bad compared to 71% of blacks. you hear from callers all across the country every given week on your show. why do you think there's that divide in the focus on race there? >> part of the issue when you talk about white privilege, people take it personal, i always say a hit dog will holler. if you're taking it personal, it's not saying white folks don't have any challenges, not saying white folks don't have pain and sorrow and go through issues. i mean, the majority of people on welfare happen to be white. ri

in the meantime, this week's "newsmakers" program will be featuring david mcintosh.e was asked about the calls of the recent stock market volatility and president trump's trade policy. here is a look. [video clip] what is happening, a lot of the volatility of the marketplace is the president's strategy with china has required that we impose significant areffs on china, and those ultimately a cost to the american people. at one point, i think he articulated it, we are doing well now, so let me use this tool. i understand the tariffs may be a real drag on the economy, but now is the time to do it, because in the end, we will get a great trade deal, and both sides will benefit. >> but this past week, he did late of limiting some tariffs, saying he did not want consumers to have to pay them for christmas. which i think is saying, recognizing that the tariffs are a drag right now on economic growth. i would not say a small drag, but they are not as significant as other things could become alike high taxes and more regulation. what it really means is that window is narrowi

alistair mcintosh. you are the most vocal they are. not happy with the forecast. step price. the challenge going forward, the prime minister talks about making new deals, new trade deals. my making new deals, new trade deals. my concern is, we have sacrificed in those trade deals, the standards we produced. it's the most traceable, high animal welfare and sustainability, environmentally sustainable. i am sustainability, environmentally sustainable. iam immensely sustainability, environmentally sustainable. i am immensely proud of that. our standards are second to none. i believe genuinely that the consumer deserves to have those standards in place. i don't want to see those imports, or even product from south america in the ra i nfo rest, from south america in the rainforest, so for me, it's immensely important that we have a package, have access to market and are able to continue our businesses. the concerns around standards and trade deals is massive. in the us, as we mentioned, they have chlorine treated beef and chicken. they were docking tales of cattle which

>> that's a great point, james mcintosh in wall street journal today has an article, forget stocks, theultra long bonds are the real gamble. >> yeah. >> buying bonds at such a stupidly high price is not way to keep investment safe, it's speculation and i don't think that that's something that gets said enough. >> stupidly high, i love the line, you have to look at where retail investors are putting their money and it's always dangerous where retail investors are putting their money, almost $500 billion going into bond funds this year, rates are abysmal at this point, that's got to be a problem at some point down the line. >> how much do you think is coming from international investors, coming to u.s. market buying bonds, how much of the bond buying is up and how much is coming from overseas even though rates are low, pretty much lower everywhere else? >> international, a lot of retail are domestic, you also have currency risk when you put money in u.s. market, u.s. dollar at some point, maybe the dollar is going the weaken, i don't know if it's going to happen, more of domestic demand b
