mnuchin. >> nice to see you.he impact if these tariffs? >> maria, as you know, the president very much wants to shrink the trade deficits, and i think it depends on how he uses these economic tools. he's talked about a 10% across the board tariff. that's a form of a consumption tax on foreign goods, and i think the market could adjust to the that. and depending on how the revenues are used, particularly if used to the pay down debt, that could be a very interesting tool. i think the 25% tariffs immediately are on canada do and mexico are going to be hard to adjust for, and i hope that he can reach a quick agreement in that mexico and canada will do what they need to do so that's not implemented. maria: well, president trump told me he uses this as leverage in some ways. he wants to stop the fentanyl trade. they're not stopping the fentanyl trade. he needs to do something to stop it. and also europeans do not buy our cars, do not buy our agriculture. he needs to level the playing field there as well. >> the presid

and then we'll get to steven mnuchin. this company that services and sells -- reconfigures airplane engines, they were the subject of a muddy waters piece back on the 15th i believe it was. maybe one of the key points was they said that muddy waters, that they questioned sort of how they account for things in terms of their financials indicating whole engine sales for material contributor to the segment, but in fact when they spoke to a former senior fti executive, he thinks 80% of the reported module swaps are whole engine sales. has to go to basically the profitability. they put an ak out this morning. they came back in a number of areas talking -- combatting the short report. take a look at what the stock is doing. they did say they're going to potentially delay their 10k, some board moves as well. don't have time to get into it right now. a very long report. they did not respond in the way at least there had been some hope among the investor base they would. and you can see what it is doing to the stock price. >> thei

mnuchin. what are you doing with the money?the answer is we're going to give it to the richest people in america. the richest people in our community and expect that that somehow is going to trickle down to everybody else. that has been the trump tax policy since the day he showed up. and no merit america say that that's what they should. do in fact, no america in history has done. that -- but you sit here and say it's all going to be paid for by economic growth. we know that's not true we know it costs $2 trillion. so while the benefit went to the richest people in america, the cost is being born by the children of working glass people all over this country. >> it's 4.6 trim trillion this time. not $2 two. you come here and you see in into your opening statement. we have a spending problem. and what we have to focus on is discretionary spending after the -- the -- the defense -- how china is out come put piecing. you are now. and you spend a lot of time on wall street just like your predecessor did. it's about 1:30 about our s

steven mnuchin had interest. you can go back several years ago when there was a number interested but that is not happening here because the chinese have made it clear that it is not getting sold. from what i'm hearing as well, this musk stuff is just not based in true reality. i don't know, jim. there may have been a conversation somewhere. certainly the real question is what are you going to get from the supreme court? they don't seem inclined to overturn the law based on free speech but there is a hope in the bytedance camp that what they will do is issue an administrative delay which would have the effect of giving it to the trump administration and allowing them to sort of administer and/or interpret the law that has been passed by congress and that could allow for flexibility in terms of what happens here. we may know as soon as tomorrow. there is a plan in effect if it gets banned on sunday. there would have to be a plan of some kind. we will see what that entails. that's what i'm picking up right now. >>

that was another critical area that mnuchin played a key role in.a lot of opportunities to get a glimpse into what trump's economic policies are going to look like in his second term, jim. >> yeah. and lauren, the house speaker, mike johnson, has apparently removed a republican congressman from his post as house intelligence committee chair. that's that's a big move. what can you tell us? >> yeah, what we heard last night from speaker johnson was that this is what he wanted to do to sort of clear the deck, get new leadership in for this administration. but obviously, there are a lot of questions, including from the top democrat on the committee, about why turner was asked to step aside and who that new replacement is going to be. jim himes, who's the top democrat on the intelligence committee, argued he's always liked working with turner, in part because he views him as unwilling to take a knee to whatever administration is power in power, and it's important to keep in mind that the intelligence committee has traditionally been a place where republi

secretary mnuchin, the night of getting the last bill passed, he's on the phone and working to take care of our issues. what jared has done and berkowitz, and others involved in that effort on the ppe, thank you. the dreamliner's bringing ppe in right now that suffolk ordered. it is a huge help. i stayed to the point not just as a member of congress, but a military veteran, also as a jewish veteran. what happened to me when i was with you on normandy and many others who support you. it happened again this morning when i put out the message on the 75th anniversary of ve day. i got attacked as a jew for supporting it. the things they were saying about you was so highly offensive to me. there has never been a president ever who has had the back of jews in this country and around the world like you have. whether it was moving the embassy in israel to jerusalem, signing the tailor force act into law, recognizing israeli sovereignty on ice, and fighting anti-semitism at home. when i see them attacking me and attacking you, especially you and your team, when you are all in more than any other p

there are certain people like steve mnuchin who have the skill set to do it.e would not recover who they are. the reality is making the assumptions we are making is the mistake. perceptions are not reality. this is what i was getting at with regard to the 10-year note. 480 is a great level to buy. we have not -- we touched it once in 2023. i was not even in 2007. i was in 1979. that is a fair level of rates. it's an accommodative level of rates. people were worried about the mortgage environment. the environment is not the reason why we are not getting housing in the country. the problem with housings that we don't want to build homes because it is expensive. we have taken at the speculative aspect of the market through dodd-frank. in addition, the price is high. we have an aging population so how much more do we need? jonathan: you know the effective mortgage rate in the u.s. is around 4% at the moment. nowhere near with the market rate is and a lot of people are locked in. we have a supply issue but for different reasons. steve: why would you leave unless yo

the wealthy, as you know, dasha, i had this huge fight with jerry cohen and jared kushner and steve mnuchin, i lost and they said steve bannon has to go. it's central to the american people. >> you talk about cutting at the federal level. what's the first agency you would scrap or gut. >> i spent eight years as a naval officer and my daughter is a west point graduate, searched in iraq, bannons have a history, doing the five years as good citizens and civilian life. she's been at the support-- she'll be in the audience as a former junior officer, female officers, when i see an ndaa of $900 billion and don't see us in a confrontation with the chinese communist party, the defense budget is too big, i'm adamant that defense budget needs to be cut. >> would hegseth do at that, steve? would hegseth do that? >> when the people tell you here the problem is entilements. they're missing the point. entitlements is a contract with the little guy. they're not going to give us their social security or medicare until they see the political class and donor class actually get their arms around discretionary

we did see his predecessor steven mnuchin last four years by successfully navigating all of those pressuresand ministration and within, especially from the boss. dani: another part of this job is engagement abroad. janet yellen frequently speaking to counterparts in china and elsewhere. how do we expect the questioning to evolve and answers we might get from scott bessent as we know trump has been very vocal about adversaries and allies as well. mike: we did get an early taste of how he views economic diplomacy. he talked in the prepared statement we referred to at the top of the discussion where he sees the importance of maintaining a strong and robust sanctions regime but one that is perhaps a little bit more coordinated and he is also emphasizing that he would want to see the dollar preserved as the world's reserve currency. it has come under pressure thanks to those sanctions programs which have called into question for allies and adversaries alike the value of the dollar given there are so many political pressures in washington and geopolitical pressures generated by those sanctions pr

he can steal as much money as he wants from the treasury or have someone do it such as steven mnuchin. then he can pardon that person. the legal scholars are telling you all come they can be pardoned by trump. anything trump tells them to do their going to do it. he can also pardon himself. the rule of law? there is no rule of law. there is the interpretation of the constitution by people, whoever decides to touch it. it was legal under the constitution, anything can be legalized under the constitution if you have the right judges. this is a corrupt system. i could steal a piece of bubblegum and get 10 years as a black man. this is crazy and it makes no sense whatsoever. ain't no rule of law. host: wreck in florida, line for democrats. -- rick in florida, line for democrats. caller: thank you for your time. i was thinking, the insurrectionists should lose their citizenship. that is something the courts can't do. they can't take it away. that is what presidents do. just take all of their citizenship away from them, however many thousands were there, andut them behind the south american
