beginning to see and we'll probably see more of a shift in which mr trump hopes to get a publicist he believed by being a making a deal with china because the benefits of the war on china have a pretty much been exhausted and that's my hope 'd that will finally see what the whole world wants within of the end if you like to this tit for tat trade war professor even like you said even if a phase one deal is signed there is more to cover like these intellectual property theft issues structural issues the united states keeps arguing for china to change and that china will not it's part of its government but president trump has touted like you're saying time and time again the state of the us economy in part he thing that is due to his handling of the china trade deal the china trade war after and decides to remove some of the existing tariffs do you see any backlash. well i don't really know and frankly as a professional economist all my life and being a person in touch with my profession nobody with a handful of a few a very few believes that the u.s. economy is great to begin with it i

my guess is we're going to see a preliminary deal then we're going to see more deals and suddenly mr trump is going to have to change the story from the american economy is great because of the trade war now it's going to be the american economy is great because i ended the war the game here is to position himself as doing something significantly positive for the economy and the reality is nothing like that has happened and the recognition of it is making that war look less politically attractive now than that any time from the beginning where to remind you mr trump said these wars are easy to win and won't take long the truth is they've taken very long and he hasn't won anything but we'll see if it is actually to through next week at probably is but he's one trade deal will even be signed by the end of this month professor of economics emeritus at the university of massachusetts am hearst's richard well thanks for your time but don't go anywhere for you has don't go anywhere because there are some key stories we want to get your take on in the 2nd half of the show time now for a quick bre

mr trump says none of that is true. that is right. by a number of different news organisations here. the claim that william barr was asked by president trump to give that news conference basically saying that no laws had been broken, he clearly declined to do so. thejustice department, which he heads, did conclude after the transcript of that fateful call between president trump and the ukraine president was released that no violations of campaignfinance released that no violations of campaign finance laws were committed by the president but what is unusual about the fact that william barr clearly bemused when it came to public cleave defending the president is the fact that the relationship between the two men has a p pa re ntly relationship between the two men has apparently been quite cordial, certainly much more so than the relationship between president trump and his former attorney generaljeff sessions. one more thing that on any other night we might talk about first. a $2 million fine for the president and a statement from the

and so i think it sends a signal if you're a foreign leader and i don't think mr. trumpask for that information now, and i think he knows he's keenly interested in it, he will accept it, and he will give them the appropriate praise as well as maybe compensation as a result. so i think it sends a very bad signal that unlike any other president certainly in my memory this mr. trump is willing to engage in these corrupt political practices, the type of practices foreign service officers like cent and ambassador taylor have tried to rid countries of. and here we are practicing ourselves. >> we're going to squeeze in a commercial break and that is the other thing foreign governments are learning of today is if they did engage in that kind of political help to donald trump, republicans in congress would protect them and would protect donald trump even if caught in that. we'll pick that up when we come back right after this break with john brennen. needles. essential for the sea urchin, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unje

a top adviser on that july 25th call says he doesn't believe he heard anything illegal two mr. trump and ukraine's president. when it comes to re-election the trump campaign says it raised $3 million in the hours after the house voted to formalize the impeachment inquiry proceedings. just a short time ago house speaker nancy pelosi defended that historic vote. >> in that call he undermined our national security. we have no choice. we took an oath to protect and defend our democracy and that is what he has made an assault on and if the republicans have a higher loyalty to the president than they do to their oath of office, that's their problem. >> cnn chief political analyst gloria borger here with us now. look at this and at the vote and not a single republican broke ranks. >> right. >> a big deal? >> it is a big deal. the president asked for republicans to remain united. he said democrats are good at doing that. had two defections. they was a process question. or maybe it's because they don't think that this is an impeachable offense. we'll have to wait and find out. it's a risk for

republicans and mr. trump himself have always said that the military aid ultimately was paid to ukraine, and beyond that, no investigations were launched. however, there are no questions -- there areti now real qus aboutg, timnd that is becausof a "new york times" report that said while esident trump said that things were not connected, those things were not connected after white house lawyers told him of a histleblower complaint th been launched into the phone call that president trump held with his ukrainian counterpart, president zelensky.as itnly after that in early september that he specifically unfroze military aid to ukraine, and when he started mentioning the phrase "no quid pro quo," essentially saying that one thing was not dependent on the other and military aid was not contingent on investigations being launched into his laura: chris, is the president now backing away from his personal lawyer rudy giuliani, who was the go-between on ukrae? chris: yeah, rudy giuliani was always seen as the man airdr
