navarro. >> mr. navarro: i'm going to finish this argument.he argument is simply that -- >> chris: do you agree that trade wars are good was a tweet by the president? >> mr. navarro: all of the countries in europe that we trade with run very large trade surpluses with us, we run trade deficits with them. who gets hurt if this goes the direction that you are suggesting? i believe that the are measured tariffs. >> chris: i am not suggesting anything. i'm asking you questions and i take objection to the idea that talk of trade wars is an invention of the media when the president tweeted out trade wars are good and easy to win. i have limited time. i'm fanning the flames? i didn't write the president's tweet. >> mr. navarro: what i'm signing, trying to say in a measured weight is from the rest of the world's perspective they are getting a really good deal from america running big trade ports ophthalmic surpluses with us and all we are asking is fair and reciprocal trade. in this particular case i would hope the alice would understand understand --

>> when you talk about peter navarro, some of my reporting last night sittings that peter navarro'siggest obstacle to getting this job will likely be john kelly not many people knew this, but john kelly issued an order last year requiring that peter navarro cc gary cohn, his nominal boss, on every single e-mail he sent from the white house. that is that gary cohn got to see everything that peter navarro was doing. i'm told that this was done in order to keep peter navarro under control and close supervision. that's an indication that the chief of staff doesn't really trust peter navarro, doesn't want him to be operating as an ininplayer independent player inside this white house and wanted gary cohn to keep a lid on him so kelly could be an impediment to navarro getting that job on the other hand, navarro is clearly ascendant here he's been unshackled in a number of ways, and it's not likely that anyone will be reading hly reading his e-mail in the days and weeks to come. >> in terms of the departure side of things, there's been references to the word of chaos, the haphazard way to

carrie cohen is here, peter navarro is there.s no getting around that when you get to the point where you want to act. this decision by the president to announce on his own on the fly that he's going to impose tariffs on trade aluminum and steel imports point the staff have been telling people an hour earlier, it's not going to happen. when you bring that sort of question to the surface, you're going to see the splits. can't keep them hidden any longer. >>chris: how much concern among top republicans in this town, mostly in the building behind me about staff disarray and policy disarray in the white house? >> i think the second piece is most important. largely, the intrigue is something the media has been obsessed with since day one. this administration is no different. it seems to be more of a central thesis with this administration. in terms of congress, the only time they care about this is when it affects the policy. i think this week is the first week in many months, going back to probably july of last year that it did. we s

but when we talked to peter navarro 18 months ago, he insisted tariffs weren't anything of the kind. >> wrong word, wrong word. >> reporter: what's wrong? >> donald trump isisot a protecti all he wants to do is defend america against unfair trade practices. >> reporter: well, defen protect. >> very different. trade is goo tariffs and the threat of tariffs are a negotiating tool to require countries like china to stop their unfair trade practices. that's the mission >> reporter: but what about retaliation? european commission president je-claude juncker s announced his own tariff targets: >> ( translated ): harley davidson, on blue jeans, levis, on bourbon. we can also do stupid. we also have to be this stupid. >> rep which prompted this london front page on tuesday. >> choosing a trade war is a wrong move. the outcome wi only be harmful. china would have to make a proper and necessary response. >> reporter: such tough talk has left peter navarro unfazed. here he is last week. >> i don't believe any country in the world is going to retaliate for the simple reason we are the most lucra

chin proper and necessary response. >> reporter: such tough talk h left peter navarro unfazed. here he is last week. >> i don't believe any country in the world is going to retaliate for the simpleareason that wthe most lucrative and biggest market in the world. >> reporter: and the facthat tariffs will increase costs to u.s. firms and consumers, in this case, those using aminum and steel? here's navarro's re on fox news sunday. >> if you look at a 10% tariff on aluminum, a six-pack of beer or coke, that's a cent and a .a if you look at the other end of the spectrum, boeing 777, it's one best airliners ever made, it's $330 million aircraft. t we aking but it increased in cost at the worst of $25,000. so, when ytalking about these massive costs or whatever is in fact, it's not. there are no downstreae effects on our industries that are significant. >> reporter: added up, however, the overall costs would be in the billions. to which navarro's answer back in 2016 still holds. >> any increase would be less than the paycheck that all these people would be getting, both in terms of a

carrie cohen is here, peter navarro is there. no getting around that when you get to the point where you want to act. this decision by the president to announce on his own on the fly that he's going to impose tariffs on trade aluminum and steel imports point the staff have been telling people an hour earlier, it's not going to happen. when you bring that sort of question to the surface, you're going to see the splits. can't keep them hidden any longer. >>chris: how much concern among top republicans in this town, mostly in the building behind me about staff disarray and policy disarray in the white house? >> i think the second piece is most important. largely, the intrigue is something the media has been obsessed with since day one. this administration is no different. it seems to be more of a central thesis with this administration. in terms of congress, the only time they care about this is when it affects the policy. i think this week is the first week in many months, going back to probably july of last year that it did. we sa

indeed i'd like to welcome peter navarro.nks for joining me this morning. >> and thanks to carl for calling me special in some way, but hey, great to see you in virtual space here, rick >> exactly listen, let's start at the very beginning, peter we have some time here the last i looked, the month-over-month trade deficit was close to 57 billion. that is the highest month-over-month level since october of 2008. many do not agree with the way you frame the issue that we need to address unfair practices in trade by targeting some of the dollar amounts in trade deficits why is your opinion on that different than other economists? >> sure. the way i look at trade deficits is it's a reverse mortgage essentially that the american people are taking out. they send -- you know, we buy our stuff, send the money to china or europe or wherever it is, and what happens is that money comes back not in the form necessarily of investing in our factories but rather buying up our assets over time, there's a problem that warren buffett has actual

peter navarro good to see you sir. >> thank you maria. maria: we'll be it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. you wouldn't accept from any one else. so why accept it from your allergy pills? most pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. and 6 is greater than 1. start your day with flonase for more complete allergy reli

>> yeah, well look, you had peter navarro on your show earlier today. incredibly disin again use us arguments, maria. you heard him say time and time again this is a national security issue. no it isn't. we only need less than 3% of u.s. steel capacity for the defense industry so i have a problem with that argument which is the premise for all of these actions against china. secondly, president trump could be opening up markets and making america more competitive in gaining job opportunities for americans and forcing countries like china to change their practices because they want our business. that doesn't gamble with american jobs, but by playing chicken in the way that he has in threatening tariffs, he's gambling with american jobs, gambling that he's going to open up markets. i much prefer the other approach maria: what about the fact that he's exempted so many industries in terms of national security terms he said look if we have a national security relationship with another country you can come out and say look pushback on the tariffs and maybe yo

peter navarro good to see you sir. >> thank you maria.ia: we'll be right back. homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that seems fair. we didn't use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim-free rewards. switching to allstate is worth it. you're smart,eat you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. maria: welcome back and back to our top story president trump planning to meet with kim jong-un in may of this year to discuss denuclearizing the north joining me to talk about the potential risks and rewards ambassador john boulton a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. great to see you sir. >> glad to be with you. maria: what do you think about this meeting? >> well, i think obviously the president's turned things on their heads as he does

but it's also a sigh of relief that it's not navarro or the navarro wing >> jim cramer, you got moreis >> i've been telling larry this is the job he's training for his whole life i agree with that i think he has always had a position that is certainly of the wing which says that we have to be free traders but tough, navarro wing is a wing where it has been something like what dave damico who is very opposed to larry which is, you no he what look, it's a trade war we haven't seen tried to fight it last was starting to get tough. a tariff on steel, tariff on -- how far do they go if they don't extend to cars and make cars more expensive, then the japanese cars coming from mexico, the german cars which are going to be just blasting in new mexico from plants that were built in the last two years, let's say they come in nothing special in the agenda to try to hurt them that would be a little bit different from nthe navarro wing that would say everybody had a run of the joint and that's done i don't want to say that larry o wants anyone to have the run of the joint against america. aplarnt

navarro has been pushing for tariffs all along. he called china a currency manipulator, which as you know is incorrect. nbc's kristen welker is at the white house. there has been quite a bit of reporting, while wilbur ross always shows up for photo opportunities, he falls asleep in meetings. >> reporter: right, he's been somewhat of a lightning rod, steph. as you point out, he's been in the president's corner when it comes to tariffs. i had a chance to speak with him a short while ago and pressed him on a number of topics including what republican leaders are saying, look, we oppose this idea of slapping new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, we think it's going to cause a trade war, but if it has to happen, there should be carve-outs for our allies like canada and mexico. secretary ross leaned into the idea just a little bit today, steph, pretty significant. take a listen to what he had to say. >> we are trying to do a surgical approach. the president indicated that if we can work something out with canada and mexico, they wil

i don't think peter navarro came up with the idea for these things though navarro's original interest don't think peter navarro is quite appropriate to put into a policy position to implement the broad range of president's policies. david: he is non-negotiation guy. he said no exceptions talking about it putting it out there at the beginning of this month. now of course we know there are exceptions. >> there are exceptions but the thing about larry kudlow, kudlow is an honest broker. he is forthright. you know where he is coming from. if he has to negotiate a position among factions inside of the administration they can believe that larry kudlow will represent their views honestly. that is important right now. david: dan, great to see you. thank you very much. melissa. melissa: go, larry. challenging trump in 2020. jeff flake is calling for a republican to run against the commander-in-chief. what could that mean for the republican party? karl rove, former senior advisor to president george w. bush, is next. actually, we just handled all the priority threats. you did that? we did that.

here is peter navarro.

peter navarro is on the rise.tsider who was side lined in the white house for months, navarro seems to have the president's ear. we have the editor from 's business week." how has he side lined the other issues that he was dealing with, health care or tax reform and superseded his core interests? >> trade took a back seat to the first attempt to repeal obamacare and then attempt to cut taxes. 20818 rolled around and trump had time to focus on an issue he cared about all along. and for that reason, navarro was well positioned. but he was side lined. his office was subsumed under gary cohn's national economic council where he was required to copy cohn on his emails and not invited on the trip to china and china is his number one issue. and wasn't until this year when trump gave orders to john kelly to take his office back out from under gary conan then the final ct is when cohn tendered his resignation. ross, navarro along with the nationalist voice has come to the floor. julia: peter navarro was not involved in the

immediately on canada and mexico. >> that is different from what peter navarro said last weekend. he said no countries would be excluded from the tariffs. he added it gives the u.s. time to negotiate nafta. the president tied exemptions to nafta this week. navarro reinforces what press secretary sarah sanders said yesterday. >> there are potential carve-outs for mexico and canada based on national security and possibly other countries as well. >> sanders statements helped stocks rebound. s&p 500 flat after falling 1%. all on fears of a trade war. trump's tariffs plans faces an issue with aides and allies. and fellow republicans as well. this is part of the reason gary cohn resigned as economic adviser. many are concerned the tariffs could hurt other u.s. industries like manufacturing and agriculture and other countries would retaliate. china will make a necessary response in the event of a trade war. >> joining us from washington is washington reporter tal kopan. >> good morning. >> the republicans in congress have been unhappy with the president on immigration after the wide free

i want to point out to you, people think peter navarro parachuted into the white house recently. last april 29th on the 100th day anniversary of the president's inauguration with his staff and mr. nah -- mr. navarro went to one of the oldest companies and the president signed two executive orders one establishing the trade and one district -- directing a review of trade deals. he's been at this since day one. >> bill: just back up a second. big pressure from republicans on the hill. you mentioned the word screwing, is that a metaphor for how they've addressed this -- >> they're so grateful the president is keeping his propositions. we have to dignify all types of work and this president has said if you don't have steel you don't have a country. now, let's be careful what the 100 republicans from capitol hill have said to the president. they said tailor the tariffs to continue to sell american-made goods around the world and be able to hire more american workers. the president agreed to that. he came up with buy american, hire american. >> bill: you're going to southwest pennsylva

peter navarro is one person being considered for this job and larry kudlow is another person peter navarro, some interesting report last night, i want to share with you i am told, john kelly, ordered navarro to seize gary cohn's e-mails of every e-mail he sent. that's an indication that maybe the chief of staff here did not necessarily trust peter navarro to operate independently of gary cohn's supervision would he be a candidate for a higher job if john kelly is the gate keeper. that's one question. there is been speculations of the chief of staff's fate here at the white house so a lot of moving parts >> eamon, quickly, we like to correct things in realtime u.s. trades and deficits last year is 5 -- an enormous number by the way good deficits with china did rise 8% during that year but not quite the numbers in the tweets itself, just to put in the record >> look the tweets give you a sense of the president's state of mind. there is a basket of a new trade initiative they are considering behind the scenes there. you heard jim talking about potential tariffs and car manufactures that's one

that is peter navarro. navarro was backed up by commerce secretary wilbur ross. he says no exceptions. >> as far as i know he is talking about a fairly broad brush. >> theresa may had deep concerns over the tariffs. experts warn that could spark a trade war. the eu promised to slap a tax on american exports. harley davidson motorcycles. where are those made? wisconsin. bourbon from kentucky. levi's jeans. in return, the president promised to tax foreign cars. if the eu wants to threaten the tariffs, he will add a tax on their cars. the u.s. already taxes european cars. europe imposes a 10% tariff on american cars. it employs thousands of workers in the united states. trump's announcement was made against the wishes of top advisers, including gary cohen. the downplay that cohen thread -- threatened to leave over this. >> let's bring in our latest guest this morning to talk about it. not many in the party favor this. will the president follow through on the tariffs? if so, what will it tell us about the future of the economic direction of the administration? >> the

joining us from the white house is the director of office trade and manufacturing policy, peter navarrood to have you back. good morning >> great to be here with you >> we use those words cooling trade tensions, is that how you would put it today >> w >> i would say we're doing a great job at the white house putting forth president trump's vision of growth president trump is a builder i want to talk about the four major building blocks of the economy that we're trying to achie achieve. we have the historic tax cuts that president trump orchestrated what we'll see in 2018 and 2019 is a wave of investment in the country. that will lead to high productivity growth. so we'll get in noninflationary economic growth on the wings of the tax policy we have over at the office of management and budget the architect of our deregulation move, historic days back to reagan we have never seen anything like this under president trump's vision and direction that's a supply side stimulus that's noninflationary and pure growth inducing. that's going on. it will continue through 2018. the third point of the

we have been speaking to peter navarro, economic advisor.ces in the white house, tough to see were economic policy goes now. charley: i think markets took a lot of comfort in the fact gary cohn was there, and they viewed him as a voice for the market and a balancing force against the terrorist -- the tarriff contingency. julia: are you worried about a trade war? charley: not really. it is a tale risk to us, but when you have started the ball rolling, it is hard to know how far. julia: the narrative and the nervousness of the market now, you have done a good amount of work on volatility, the moderation and suppression of macro level volatility. where are we right now? of that the point moderation is to say if you look into the macro data itself rather is volatility of employment, gdp, inflation, there hasn't been much drama and the data. the drama has been in the markets, so i am thinking the vix spike earlier in february as well as the latest news out of d.c. the catalyst or the drama is coming from places other than macro data at the moment

navarro, peter navarro, the white house national trade director with us. and i will quiz him closely on aluminum, steel, and china. we are watching the markets -- deutsche bank week this morning. -- weak this morning. futures up 31 points. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ this is the bloomberg business flash, i am taylor riggs. uber has agreed to sell the southeast asian operations to grab. grab will acquire all of uber's operations in the region of 620 million people. in return, the u.s. ride hailer will take a 27.5% stake in the entity and the ceo will join the board of the singapore-based grab. remington has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. a deal had already been negotiated with lenders that would cut that i about $700 million and inject new capital into the company. remington sports took a hit after the election of donald trump, a self-proclaimed "true friend of the gun industry. " -- trade war could have an impact on global gdp. john sebastian -- made the comments during an interview with bloomberg at the china development forum in beijing. tradeare

peter navarro, literally with his help i tried to find one other economist who agrees with him on anyade theories. i couldn't finds a single one if you can even articulate what his theories are. it's very trouble smooth criticism of the world trade order is real. for decades, economists said if you have unfettered trade, it will increase gdp growth which it did. it will increase corporate profitability, which it did and it will be good for jobs and wanings. which it's not. certainly certainly not in the richer country. there's a real problem to fix here. steel would be a good example how to fix it. coal is in the same category of things we have to understand didn't work in the new world order. but what the president's doing doesn't go any distance toward repairing this problem. it makes a few steelworkers feel like you're on my side. >> there's the broader issue which is the way this all went down which is understanding, what happened with tariffs and i think they're bad policy, but that's sort of low stakes. what happens if peter navarro got to the president who was in a bad mood and

white house national trade counsel director peter navarro up next on "making money." charles payne is here now. charles: tonight on "making money" we are covering all the breaking stories that affect you and your wallet. stocks diving at the open. investors started to digest gary cohn's departure from the white house. this after the white house indicated perhaps president trump's tariffs could include country exemptions on countries like canada and mexico. a white house official confirming to fox business that president trump will hold a signing ceremony on those same tariffs tomorrow at approximately 3:30. this news coming just hours after white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders said they are crucial to maintaining american peace and prosperity. >> other countries created unfair trade policies for decades that harmed our economic and national security. the president wants a strong economy and a strong national security. this helps defend u.s. limit and economic interests. charles: let's bring in our panel to discuss the political ramifications of the tarif

. >> interesting peter navarro, the president's point man on trade, was on cnbc within the last hour i want you to listen to what he told our rick santelli and then we can react on the other side here is peter navarro. >> we come in peace here the thing everybody on wall street needs to understand, just relax. if you look at the negotiating posture of this country, all these countries that are running huge trade surpluses with us have no incentives to rock that boat all we're doing is standing up >> you would agree with what he's saying? >> i do. i think that's a very temperate and logical communication of the president's intention. and quite frankly, the commercial strategy of our nation i mean, our nation is founded on the idea of access to opportunity through the marketplace. and markets. and if you can't objectively demonstrate to your partners where there is an imbalance and try to correct them, then markets in the long term will lead to political problems much of what the president is talking about will lead to strategic -- strategic comity. that's really what you try to strike

we talked to david navarro and he thought that terrorists will be in favor of growth and help he economyore -- that tariffs will be in favor of growth. >> with kansas we think of beef,lture, and we export cattle, corn, but we also manufacture a significant portion of their general aviation aircraft that is sold around the globe. automobiles are manufactured in and manufacturing jobs are significant component in addition to agriculture. conversations with people who work at those plants -- they recognized that the input cost related to steel and aluminum have a consequence on the price available. you are going to have to charge for that airplane or automobile --nsumers may react in a way that diminishes demand. oneegard to the tax bill, of the great features is the immediate expensing of the purchase of equipment, for example, an airplane. work on that for seemingly a decade and encourages people to buy aircraft. but if the price of aircraft goes up as a result of tariffs, it diminishes demand. shery: reiterating president trump's stance that can at and mexico can be excluded if we can wo

we heard navarro say there will be no exemptions. it goes to coordination of the message and the capability. ab, you have a beautiful sky behind you. red sky in the morn, sailors be warned. could there be trouble today in the white house. if they try to push something like this through, ron johnson, a republican senator coming on today. is it true they are actually thinking on of legislation to change the president's abilities on tariffs because of how unhappy they are about how rash this move is? >> oh, i think they're definitely clear. more than 100 republicans in the house sending a letter and the speaker being very forth right -- very firm about this. he's obviously been telling the president these things privately for months and months and months. now they are coming out strongly in opposition to him and making the kinds of warning -- issuing the kinds of warnings that senator johnson is across the board. everyone except pretty much for free trade vice president mike pence is being openly critical in the party of this. and i thi

i really didn't know who peter navarro was. clearly after that performance, you learned he's like like a prickly -- that's what i learned from him. i actually didn't know who he was. it was one of those things, joy, where it was shocking while it was happening, but at the same time when you really deep down think about it, you're like, oh, yeah, of course, he's a trump supporter. of course he's talking like this. of course he's condescending, of course he's offering a hundred bucks. >> to female panelists by the way. >> exactly. but you handled him wonderfully and made sure we never had to see him again on msnbc. >> yes, he was disinvited from the next segment, spoiler alert. arthur, i wonder if peter navarro is a respected figure in terms of conservative economists. he doesn't seem to be all that well known even outside of our world of talking politics. >> he's not that well known for sure. in california he's well known. he ran for the mayor of san diego. he ran for congress. he's a professor in irvine. he's well known in cali

rick santelli just talked to national trade council director navarro, widely perceived as the most hawkish voice in the administration a few moments ago. take a listen. >> let's talk about larry. this is our -- i think this is probably our 15-year reunion here because he and i go back to your network, cnbc, i was on his show frequently. i worked at cnbc for many years. i find him to be a smart and warm individual. he's going to come here and be a team player and it's going to be great. the president, president trump, in order to make the best decisions possible, i have seen this in the oval, i have seen it in the roosevelt room, he needs diverse opinions i think it's a great choice and everybody here is going to welcome him with open arms and we are looking forward, not backward >> let's get to rick at the cme group this morning here we are, talking about very deep economic theory, really, and how it affects us, not to mention the elements of implementation and whether or not the government can do this efficiently. >> see, that's my problem. i listened to steve roach and everybody is entit

we got peter navarro's take. navarro: the big pie here, this is an example of trade peace through negotiating strength. this is a deal that will provide tremendous stability in the economic relationship with south korea and the national security relationship. on that alone, it succeeds. let's think about the history involved here. the korea deal was one of the three worst trade deals in trade history for america. the first worst is the china wto deal. the second is nafta. the korea deal went into effect in 2012 at the behest of hillary clinton and barack obama. saw our trade deficit in goods double in a few short years. the second is nafta. we didn't export a single additional dollar over the course of that. it is so one-sided. we lost thousands of jobs. let's see who wins with this deal. men and women who make light trucks in this country can breathe a sigh of relief. the light truck tax will continue into 2040. we have steelworkers, we have a very good restrictive quota on steel and korea has been a bad actor i

peter navarro made no sense. what did he say. he said all the trading partners with these surpluses don't want to rock the body what are you talking about that's all we want to do is rock the boat with those surpluses. the president speaks all the time about this. they brought in larry kudlow who is opposed to rocking the boat and causing trade wars now he has taken that important role but he is not going to push back or he will have the same fate as cohn what i'm saying, he says we come in peace yet everything they are doing and saying is the opposite. >> peter navarrnavarro, this ise most important economist in the world out ofa central bank economist whether we like it or not. so we are listening. and the reality is i think a lot of comments on trade wars have been for bluster and a lot of comments maybe have been misinterpreted when a guy comes on today and says we don't mean war that's constructive ultimately, you have kudlow, who has basically said i don't want to pick on my friends, i want to pick on my enemies in terms of

andré: soy andré navarro y voy a ser su maestro de teatro. Érika: andré navarro, qué emoción.

i think in terms of his replaceme replacement, it looks to me like navarro is a bomb thrower. have to get somebody in there that's going to have reason in terms of balancing the equation on the issues at surface. i hope whoever the selection is, they have enough courage to stand up and state their position and ultimately prevail, at least sometimes. >> well, the interesting thing about navarro, as somebody who ran a huge company, you would have a view on this, his management or lack thereof has kind of allowed his influence to wax and wane i mean, he was a bomb thrower and continues to be from what i understand at one point he was put under gary cohn's thumb and gary cohn was getting a cc of every e-mail he sent and they were attempting to rip up nafta on three occasions but then he seemed to be ascendent again the last person to have his ear is often the person whose view prevails so that's a tough environment to work in. >> but this is the president though whose comfort zone is the counter intuitive. he excels in the counter intuitive zone so don't be surprised when he does

i'm very much a fan of peter navarro. they are two very solid options. >> they are wildly different. what's interesting about that is they're crazily different. larry kudlow is against tariffs and for free trade. peter navarro is dead set against free trade and for the tariffs. >> ultimately this is where the president will bring in a couple different folks and take a look at them. quite frankly, it will be more than just those two. i'm big fans of larry and peter. the president will expand it out, bring in a bunch of folks and it might not be the chasm between navarro and kudlow. where he wants to be on a certain policy. maybe he wants it more on one end of it. one thing to keep in mind is the only person that anyone voted for in this white house is donald trump. he's the only one anyone voted for. the staffing story is important today, gary cohn will be completely out of the news tomorrow, we will move on to something else. there are a ton of all-stars within this administration, whether it's treasury secretary steve mn

gary cohn and peter navarro didn't get along. will larry kudlow and peter navarro get along? he will arrive with treasury secretary steve mnuchin, one cabinet member that the president has been getting along with lately and one person that does get along with larry kudlow. they both advise the president on his economic plan in the 2016 campaign. a lot of interesting dynamics in the white house. can according to the president there is no chaos. brooke. >> the one with whom he gets along. heard you, kaitlyn, in st. louis. appreciate that bit of news. >>> ex-fbi direeputy director andrew mccabe may face being fired days before his planned retirement sunday. attorney general jeff sessions is the one weighing whether or not he should fire mccabe before then. the stakes are incredibly high. if he is fired before sunday, he loses his pension after a 22-year career at the fbi. this goes back, this issue stems from an internal justice department report claiming that mccabe misled investigators about his decision to authorize fbi officials to speak to the media about an investigation i

camp, he introduced me to navarro. is the chinese are paper tigers to some degree they can say they are going to do things to us, and yes we do want them to buy our bonds, but we c we can stand up to them more than we think and larry has to come over and make in a journey because that is when the president is and he -- he serves at the best -- of the president so he will be have to be more nuanced about how much he favors free trade with everybody. >> it does feel if recent days as you point out and michelle said, that he has moved a little bit on this to a more targeted fair trade stance and if the other guys are cheating, then let's go at their cheating as opposed to -- i don't think he would ever yield on the idea of having -- of opposing broad blanket tariffs which, as he points out, is just another word for tax. >> he's got to get more mckinley like and open door policies. the last time we let the chinese -- this is what we're going to do and this is what you have to do, that is under mckinley i have to tell you,

and a fan of peter navarro. two solid options. >> wildly different.here the president is going to bring in a couple of different folks and take a look at them. quite frankly more than those two. the president is going to expand it out and it might not be the chasm of say navarro and cohn. maybe he wants it more on one end of it. but one thing to keep in mind is the only person that anybody voted for in this white house is donald trump. yes the staffing story is important today. cohn will be out of the news tomorrow and we will be moving on to something else. there are a ton of all-stars in this administration, whether it is mnuchin. you look at mulvaney, general mattis. a lot of good people within the administration. and the president is going to put them together and see who fits the bill. >> thanks everyone. coming up, late word tonight about another witness who is said to be cooperating with mueller in the russia investigation. what we may know about him, next. a complete multivitamin specially formulated with key nutrients plus vitamin d for bone

. >> safe to say navarro would upset the markets. >> navarro would upset the markets. larry kudlow would soothe the markets and so would chris little. they are seen as more realistic to navarro's trade hawk. >> "the wall street journal" wrote the only thing good to say about little is he is not navarro. >>> ahead, could it be a ufo? k curious video from the u.s. navy raising a lot of questions. that's next. you won't see these folks at the post office they have businesses to run they have passions to pursue how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters ship packages all the amazing services of the post office right on your computer get a 4 week trial plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again go to stamps.com/tv and never go to if you'd have told me three years ago that we'd be downloading in seconds what used to take minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference and do it like that (snaps). if you'd have told me that i could afford a gig-spee

peter navarro as well. we'll have to watch this space carefully. >> to your point, you know that the president didn't want to upset what has been b a critical part of his own narrative. dollars that have been addeded to the stock market since he was in office. >> that's a core way that the president seeing the success of his presidency sooefen mnuchin included see the presidency that way as well. the other thing is that one of vibes i get here is that the president would like to have somebody who disagrees with him, but who if overruled, will fall into line. so somebody who can disagree with him on tariffs, but who will go along with the president's decisions once they're final. that is you voice all of your arguments before the decision and not after it and if larry kudlow can fit that bill and be sort of an america first globalizer here, voice in this white house, then that's a successful role for kudlow >> good stuff. back with him as needed throughout the rest of the hour. we'll take a break come back a
