michael pillsbury, it's good to see you. it's highly irregular, is it not, for there not to be paper? to have this deal in its current form on paper to proceed? it is -- this is to me an extremely unusual situation. >> yes, because president trump is a bold negotiator and there is no precedent for these kind of talks. the chinese deny any intellectual property theft and deny forcible technology transfer. even the basis for the talks is in digs piewt. what the president has done is first get that 150 pages we heard about in may, and now the chinese are wriggling out. so the effort to get paper is important. we don't have any precedent for what president trump is doing. obama, presidents before, they didn't try these tough negotiations to pin the chinese down, and as you can tell, the chinese are fighting back. lou: it seems to me successfully when you can't even move to at least in may there was paper to commemorate the deal and their agreements that they later would reject. and renege on. without paper that sounds like it wi
