paul krugman is a nobel prize- winning economist and distinguished professor. he is also a new york times opinion columnist and the least -- and recently wrote about trump and the tariff debate. it is so great to have you for a little bit of econ 101. i would not describe myself as a free trader and yet, can you just explain the basics of how a tariff works and who pays for it? >> basically a tariff is a sales tax. it is a tax on sales of goods. it happens to be goods that are imported from foreign countries, but it is the same thing. if you impose the tax on sales of cars from car dealers, you would expect they would pass that on to car buyers. if you impose a tax on stuff we are buying from china, you expect that to be passed on to consumers. there is nothing magic about it. basically nothing changes if the sellers happen to be foreign and it is really weird. there is no constituency even as far as i can tell for the kinds of things trump is proposing. he has a bee in his bonnet about wanting to tax foreigners and he has this magical belief that he can someho

that's the way they feel -- now, whether paul krugman believes it or not, because i read him every nowdavid: same with the uaw. the head of the uaw, by the way, did endorse the democratic ticket, but he admitted that most of his members were going to go for donald trump. >> i am from a blue collar family, proud of it, proud to be a union kid. i will tell you this, when the country is veering out of control, blue collar people look for stability. they see stability in donald trump. it's crazy -- david: by the way, you also like this idea of no taxes for overtime because they work their butts off, and they have a lot of overtime, so -- >> did he propose that one too? [laughter] david: yeah. >> i missed that that. by the way, someone's going to have to pay for all these things hawaii's a different discussion. david: charlie, thank you very much. >>> the fighting between israel and hezbollah intensifying after a series of attacks in lebanon. a live report from tel aviv right after. what tractor supply customers experience is personalized service. made possible by t-mobile for business. wit

book and, looked at the blurbs on the back, i was thinking to myself, oh, you should have asked paul krugman for a blurb. and then i saw he was in the book. yes. because i know he's you know, he's written columns about this. did you ask him for a blurb? i believe we did. i'm not 100%. i believe we did. obviously is a busy guy and he's great on housing. so if you're watching this paul thank you for being great on housing and i hope you like my representation of you in the book and if you want give a blurb now even better this is a question that's not really directly related to housing but you mentioned it as being a component of this problem. so brian, you've written a lot about economic. of course, starting with you daily paper. how do you think we should best deal with that issue? you write, economic illiteracy, the scourge of humanity, right? of course, we could all become economics professors and but there is so truth in the idea that economics professors are boring and waste a lot of time on irrelevant details and failed to get big point across probably most you here have seen young ben

i've seen paula krugman -- paul krugman robert reisch say how bad the world will be if trump is electedi never saw one of them on television telling us i was wrong, i did not get this right and i did not get that right. they never apologized. the media will throw all of the mud but if they say we hit the wrong window, they never apologize. host: is that the mark of a trustworthy media, a correction page in a newspaper, a we want to let you know this was wrong and we are trying to correct it? caller: if it was really sincere and you could tell that. kristen welker made a mistake the other day. i think she said harris and biden had both been to see the families -- i think that was an honest mistake and they apologized for that. most times they won't and most times they don't. we believe in a free press and we desperately need these people to stop being partisans and adjust the pressure test so we can figure out who we want to vote for. host: thanks for the call from ohio. just about 10 minutes left in this segment. one more part from a.g. sulzberger's column in today's washington post. he

some gigantic piece from ai but i certainly just can't help but look at i am a deficits gold as paul krugman used to say. i think it's something with the pay close attention to. >> where you think the volatility will come in around the election. everyone's nervous ahead of it. but after you have places like georgia saying they need to hand count every single ballot it may be days or weeks until we know who wins this election. >> so interesting to look at the chicago board options exchange and their voracious appetite to make more money have given us more options listings so you have options that expired november 5 election day and november 6. such granularity that you can look at the differential in prices and so we look at the volatility. it allows us to score the price and the different between november 5 expiration or six effectively implies that the s&p could move 2.5 or more percent on november 6 the day after. i think there's a couple ways to look at it. if you go back to 2016 you will remember when trump was ahead and was coming to everyone's recognition but he was going to win the s&

and paul krugman said it himself . we should be proud of what we have been able to do.mpy times but we are on the other side of the break and i give joe biden a lot of credit having navigated the united states through choppy waters. when he came in he had one of the worst first days of anyone in the country coming in you at the insurrection in this community where you live was under national guard protection and the economy was in free fall . covid had been grossly mismanaged. hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily because of the mismanagement of covid. the economy is booming. we had the best job market since the 1960's. the country is prosperous and we are doing well. did you get everything done we needed to get done? no and that is why if we elect kamala harris we will continue for growth and prosperity for people in america. host: let's hear from pamela, maryland, democrats line. caller: what can be done to safeguard the vote? i've heard legislatures plan to delay the count in georgia. what can we do to ensure that votes cast are counted and voters are not purged f
