and ford o'connell. ford, this is not the only example. we brought a case against canada on dairy yet they still have 270% on our dairy imports or exports into their country. the wto has been gamed by china. anybody who thinks they are going to gal up to our rescue is out of their minds. >> you are right, charles. president trump's view of is simple. it's dysfunction at and it takes too long to process claims. it was the early 2000s and we don't have a solution on that. china doesn't have the most of favored nation status and gets to play by the rules much a third world nation. it's dysfunctional and basically i do not think president trump wants to leave the wto, but he wants to find some negotiating and leverage to make sure it' more favorable to the united states and the american worker. >> everything is ratcheting up. last week i say the in the consumer certain i am survey. it was mentioned over and over again in the manufacturing data even though it came in significantly stronger than wall street thought it would. it will be there in

charles: ford o'connell and david nelson. ford, let me get your thoughts. after those comments we had on the screen, trump said germany we are supposed to protect you against russia and you make a deal with russia. i call that a mic-drop moment. >> it was a mic-drop moment. germany is a captive of russia because they get 60 to 70%. when you only have 5 of the 29 members paying it, and germany not paying their fair share. you are basically asking america to protect germany and entire e.u. from russia. charles: the economic ties. this brings us back to the trade battles. you know president trump is linking the two. >> i think they are. and this just dollars and cents. if you add shipping costs. it's likely to be more expensive for germany than it is. the differential right now is about a dollar. so they are likely to go for the cheaper gas. they have done this for a long time. 1.24% is what they are paying. trump comes over the top with a double on that because -- i think that's just to get the conversation going. charles: i don't think they are going to do i

hope that they will continue helping congo why is it like it is to us so that congo a no one day o'connell is government must be able to solve this problem and so why is the country so often the case that has bountiful natural resources they turn out to be a curse you can see that a lot of the production is there but the result of the revenue is not coming back to the the treasury of the country and that is where is the problem where is it going forward. and one of the action to put is to take back all this revenue back to the treasury of the country and you see it from this treasury that we can develop the country and by restoring the security people will be able invest from foreign investor national investor will be able to come back to congo in a given problem and invest get their profit and then i think how can we be developed to model join your ten years inside the political scene has changed so dramatically apps most of all with president trump. what's what's your opinion of the president of the united states of america i think that is the decision the made by the primary can people.

with the guardian, iain martin, whose columns appear in the times, and the irish broadcaster brian o'connellcome to all of you. living in brexitland does sometimes feel like being on the other side of the looking glass. how's this for starters — one of theresa may's ministers resigned this week because he wanted to support her chequers brexit plan, but said he was being ordered to vote against it. part of that plan was approved by a majority of just three in a house of commons of 650 — and then only because three mps from the labour opposition supported her, and the leader of the liberal democrats, another opposition party, told by his party managers it wouldn't be a close vote, went off for dinner instead. iain, in alice in wonderland, the red queen likes to believe six impossible things before breakfast, what do you think our blue queen believes at the moment? well, alice in wonderland is a really good comparison. she has survived, though. it is extraordinary. i am not a fan of theresa may, or her approach to brexit, but she certainly has resilience. somehow, she has managed to survive all

last couple of hours and it has to be said that the numbers of people who turned out while we saw o'connell trumpets recent may try to show a unified front they've talked about their special relationship we've seen people here talk about how the only special relationship truck seems to have is with him. he's probably going to france and that coming out onto the streets in such numbers is fake news so all of these people are trying to make it be understood that the u.s. president is not welcome here and again this is just one of many activities that have been taking thank you. thank you yes yes. yes. i get a bill you hear myself think but it's been like this for the last couple of hours really the mood here is very persistent in terms of showing the president he's not welcome to the u.k. and this is something that's been thanks for reading of. course out as soon as he arrived yesterday we saw a protest outside the u.s. ambassador's residence in london where donald trump was spending one night. earlier today. don to have this massive giant balloon depicting donald trump wearing a nappy was fl

so there's several different -- like, for instance, we just had one at o'connell, and that was the pathway. i'm not sure -- i'm trying to remember which one -- >> i think this one was the teacher residency one. >> do you know which one? >> it's the one that's located -- >> yeah, i remember. >> at mclaren. >> mclaren? does anybody know? >> i believe we have not found an alternate location. >> okay. i really want to find an alternate location because if we're going to be recruiting teachers and i'll just say it again, that is like the most pitiful place for us to try to, you know, train our teachers. it's a total distraction, and i just don't think it really represents who we are, nor does it pay them any respect to come to a place where we're trying to provide them with professional development. >> noted. >> okay. thank you. and then -- and then, on page 29 on the instructional guidance, for central office, you have p.d. on antiracist teaching. so that central office or is that school sites? or what's central office's purpose? i mean -- yeah, so what's their role on the p.d. on the antiraci

liz: we have our panel ford o'connel and rog goyl . strzok texted that we're going to stop him.estifies what he meant by we, that we was the we that stood for america. given what lisa pain saying do you belief strzok? >> page's alleged testimonies calls into question vor as tie of which strzok said to congress, one thing to have a strong dislike of donald trump, another thing for a political preference, hard to believe deep hate expressed in these texts did not affect his investigation, in e-mail probe and trump-russia investigation, but we'll never know because of bureaucratic fbi be on vehicle . liz: fbn reached out to lisa page's team, and thigh the theyg her testimony is consistent with peter strzok. these are republicans coming out saying that she said different things. revealing john brennan and james clapper could be more involved than we thought. we don't have lisa page's testimony. we don't have access to it, should it be made public to get to the bottom of it. >> absolutely, i think we know what this is, we don't know what it is. this a distraction. we have no idea wha

here to discuss, justin walker and ford o'connell is with us. tim, a lot of guesswork obviously here. i felt like with neil gorsuch we kind of knew. what do you think from your insider perspective to be the ultimate decider? >> my guess is who the president feels connected to and has a story that will resonate in the confirmation process with the american people. i think all four of these candidates are extremely well qualified. they would all be a tribute to the court. but ultimately it will come down to that narrative moo their -- t narrative. my guess it it will be thomas hardiman. charles: apparently kavanaugh is the favorite among inside washington gopers. >> kavanaugh is a family man. he coaches his daughter's basketball team. he ran a marathon twice. he would rather have a beer and watch a hockey game than go to a washington thing. charles: the notion that he's the establishment elite candidate -- >> it's fake news, it doesn't belong on fox. charles: ford, a lot riding on this. part of the decision-making process has to be confirmation. i

here to explain, ford o'connell, a contributor to "the hill.d, you will have the usual republicans i think had -- would have questioned president trump or criticized him no matter what. but there are also others, people who supported president trump since he has come into office who said this isn't what they were hoping. they were hoping he would be tougher. what is your assessment of today and what does it mean as we go on into the political season? >> i think it was a missed opportunity to confront vladimir putin. going forward the elections what trump needs to make the case, there are my words and there are my actions. my actions on vladimir putin have bench stronger from dispelling diplomats to energy production to getting nato to increase its spending. i have been stronger the last two presidents. i just need to be a little bit more clear about that. charles: the actions have been significant. again, ford makes the point recently in light of the fact that america watched crimea be taken by vladimir putin. we didn't put up any sort of resis

and ford o'connell, and liz peak. i think this is a huge win. i compared winning the conference finals, and now it's on to the super bowl. >> i think you are absolutely right. president trump has something to put into the naysayer's face. we talked about the potential of the u.s. levying a 25% tariff on e.u. autos. so apparently donald trump understands how to play this game. one good thing is occurring. and that is if we are going to expand u.s. imports in the e.u. west comes toly question fired gas and oil which is a direct slap in the face to russia. charles: this always shot across the bow to russia and a shot at china as we bulk up with the e.u. on our side and take on that next big challenge. one of the things president trump said today. he rail at his domestic critics because he said it was making his job harder. when all the pun did and experts in the media keep saying he's going to fail, it weakens his negotiating hand. >> today was a ceasefire. and i'm glad we have the ceasefire. we have the ceasefire in the beginnings of a war we neve

let's go to kelly o'connell in new jersey also joining us u.s. congressman danny heck of washington and glenn kushner. first to you, kelly in berkeley heights, new jersey not too far where the president is spending the weekend at the bedminster resort. i want to talk about the ten different ways we've counted that the president has refused to answer questions on camera regarding cohen in that 2016 trump tower meeting in the month of june. are we hearing any feedback from the white house on this? and all of this radio silence on this matter, how unusual is it? >> well, alex, white house officials are directing us to the president's outside counsel, saying any questions relating to that look to someone like rudy giuliani. and we have, we've seen how rudy giuliani has gone from praising michael cohen as a trusted ally of the president and confidant and employee over a number of years now saying he's been untrustworthy, in fact, lying all of his life is one of the quotes attributed to rudy giuliani which certainly begs the question why would the pres

i don't even think o'connell wants the wall.hink ryan wants his lasting swan song to be a government shutdown and then losing the house. i don't think it's going to happen. but if the democrats take the house, they are not only not going to fund the wall, they are going to abolish i.c.e. >> juan: did you just say it's not going to happen? >> jesse: i don't believe it's going to happen at this point right now. but they're going to have to fund it piecemeal. >> juan: emily, majority leader mitch mcconnell says i'm not having a vote on this before the midterms. ron johnson, head of homeland security, says it's a bad idea. people in the house are saying we are republicans than we are not into this. what do you make of it? >> emily: i agree with jesse and personally i really don't like the threat of the government shutdown or using that as a tool. we're not getting much out of a lot people there anyway and secondly is a federal attorney, i was a managing attorney and acting director. the amount of resources it takes to prepare for a

republican strategist ford o'connell, do you think they got it wrong?wrong. if president trump came out in favor of oxygen they would oppose it and try to prove they were right. president trump was elected to take a different approach. right now it is working. this is victory for president trump, he is delivering on his promises and victory for the american people. it means more money and more jobs. really referendum on tax cuts and deregulation which is at the heart of the trump pro-growth agenda. cheryl: despite the good news today, the dow lost 76 points. nasdaq under a lot of pressure and technology. with the president overhyping gdp number he maybe took the fun out of it today for investors and maybe they were disappointed they didn't get 4 1/2% or 5%? >> no. because his concern right now really is not investors. it is actually voters. 100 days out from the midterms and if he wasn't touting this number, essentially his detractors would hijack the narrative. he will continue to toot his own horn. i'm delivering for the american people and delivering

melissa: ford o'connell, civic forum pack chairman, republican strategist. he joins me now.esponse to that was the thing that the president was giving nato a hard time about was an agreement to put a pipeline from russia to germany, and become completely dependent on german natural gas, funnel all of that money to russia. he was mad about them making a financial deal in light of the fact that the u.s. and everybody else is trying to be tough with sanctions. i mean do you think that that was a fair or stupid question from nbc? >> that was absolutely ridiculous question by nbc's holly jackson. he is trying to strengthen up nato. 1949, military security alliance designed to check russia. the fact that only five of 29 countries meet the defense pledge is embarrassing. it tells me about how serious every country in the serious about the defense of the group. as far as germany, he is right, they are in a lot of ways captive to russia, they get 60, to 70% of their energy from russia. they don't pay for the 2% pledge. that allows them to push latvia on their plans. melissa: i can't

i said that is correct and he said i sent kenny o'connell up there and he has looked at that situation and i know a lot of the organizations your father are lined up against you. if they take you on, i want you to understand that we will be there and he said can i ask you a quote couple questions. explicitly what does we will be in the mean? he said to me, if they take you on the kennedys will crawl all over your district. this was a month after the presidents when -- several months later robbie kennedy went to 15th and chestnut and there was 30 or 40,000 people going from 19th street to 13th street and it was a mob scene. even do that do -- even during that period i said what can i tell. he said tell them all. what he was really saying is, you can tell them i'm the attorney general also. we're not going to lose. he did not say that but bobby would not be in favor of doing anything but making sure i one.>> the next question was, do you need money and i said no. i said i don't think so. the friends of my father will back me in this process. he said if you don't have enough you write the

. >> i have a question for brian o'connell. and, by the way, i could have listened to you forever. [laughter] i was fascinated by your story of james hobin. you described him as an irish catholic peasant, a carpenter. then he went on to this wonderful architectural school and came to the united states. let where the circumstances in ireland that enabled him to move to that architectural school? did he have a mentor? was it a system in place that would have enabled that to happen? >> yes. at the beginning of the 18th century, it was a time of philanthropy, and organizations, and at the time of the growth of knowledge, societies which became royal societies are being set up for the investigation of science, in the interest of mankind. agricultural, a whole series of things were being improved. it was a concept, the idea of improvement, that everything would be improved. but you had then was a gentry and an aristocracy which would contribute to this. the way they would contribute was to create a society. the dublin society was created and merlo has outlined the history of that. by the

o'connell at mr. grassley think the 90,000 supporters of the national council of jewish women are not going to write like hell to defeat this nominee, then they are sadly mistaken. we have been here before. and we have been successful. will we do it again? will we defeat this nominee? yes! what we defeat this nominee? yes! we have been here before. we will do it again. we cannot allow politics to masquerade as constitutional law. we say hell no. we will work to defeat this nominee across the country in every state. we will work with all of you. we look forward. team!ght, win >> good evening. elizabeth. i am president of the constitutional accountability center. we are here to say we are reclaiming the constitution for the american people, for all people who come to this country looking for that american dream that we all used to have. the supreme court behind us is crucial to the protection and liberty and equality that are part of that american dream. trump has told us what he is giving us with his n

kelly o'connell, take that phone call. let us know what you find out. clint, are you surprised by this? >> no. i think what's interesting about all of this is vladimir putin seems to understand u.s. politics better than the president does. and i wouldn't be surprised if he essentially signaled or offered to the president based on the fallout that happened from that helsinki summit, why don't we put this off for a while because it doesn't look good for you, particularly in the midterms. so in terms of context, i would not be surprised if this is a delaying action because no one thought what the fallout would be and how negative it would be to have vladimir putin show up in the united states before the midterms. it is arming the democrats to run against the republicans that have been trying to weather the storm. >> let's go back to the original topic. is donald trump trying to undermine the election. he sent out that tweet that russia is helping the democrats. clint, fact check that for me. >> yeah. based on anything that i have seen, that couldn't be fur

program with more than 40 scientists led by myself and doctors gregory, catherine and christian o'connell. we aim to identify those with susceptibility and resilience. we also aim to understand how this factors such as diet and physical activity contribute. we are working with the scientific community and the u.s. and worldwide leverage the findings to identify and test targets. it is incredibly challenging to identify the early stages of complex diseases in human patients before any recognizable symptoms emerge. however this is where animal models of human diseases come in and share 95% of their genes with humans so we focus on building accurate representations of. sadly clinical trials have not yet been successful and one reason is the lack of targeting or pre- symptomati symptomatic s however another is the lack of the model to reproduce the human 80 and that is why i'm excited to be a part of the collaboration between indiana university and the university of california irvine is established through the generous funding in 2016 and you will be glad to know that in a one-hour drive back

june o'connell. thank you very much. it's great to have people representing various diverse parts of the country before us. part of the development of the affordable care act was that employers were offering different plans in different states and it was uneven to the extent of whether or not people were covered through their employer plan. so my question to you all is what insight do you all have into what's happened with the employer component of the markets in your various states and to what degree that reinforces the rural versus urban divide, whether or not private employer coverage has increased or decreased in your state, that sort of thing. >> we didn't really take a close look at that, although we have experts in each of the states. nationally it has been notable that the employer marketplace really has not been strongly affected by the affordable care act and in particular the small group market. so there was a lot of -- most of the attention that we are discussing now, market stabilization and all, prior to th

i said that is correct and he said i sent kenny o'connell up there and he has looked at that situation and i know a lot of the organizations your father are lined up against you. if they take you on, i want you to understand that we will be there and he said can i ask you a quote couple questions. explicitly what does we will be in the mean? he said to me, if they take you on the kennedys will crawl all over your district. this was a month after the presidents when -- several months later robbie kennedy went to 15th and chestnut and there was 30 or 40,000 people going from 19th street to 13th street and it was a mob scene. even do that do -- even during that period i said what can i tell. he said tell them all. what he was really saying is, you can tell them i'm the attorney general also. we're not going to lose. he did not say that but bobby would not be in favor of doing anything but making sure i one.>> the next question was, do you need money and i said no. i said i don't think so. the friends of my father will back me in this process. he said if you don't have enough you write the
