other people and i think as long as the consumer stays positive and positive is the word because the liberal media is attacking the economy so aggressively that they're casting doubt on people 'snding and everything else and that is the one thing that could actually slow us down in my view. >> i'm sorry, you can't talk your way into a recession. >> you sure can, gary. >> hold on. let me finish. let me finish. >> all right >> but you can tariff your way into a recession , and yes, what you're seeing i speak to companies all the time and they're worried about it and worried the uncertainty of going back and forth with the tariff and i must tell you with the president right now, he is worried. that's why he is jaw boning the fed to lower rates by a whole percentage point and print money again and now we're hearing late in the day they want a payroll tax cut but unfortunately, with the house run by the dems they couldn't pass wind right now let alone a tax cut. >> [laughter] >> gary do you not think our interest rates are higher than they should be given what's going on around the world? >> the fed is always behind, i agree but i've got news for you rates are already down, they wo

liberals, i think it's completely dishonest. the reverse would be true. that's always on about this. >> martha: 's people0% but the fact is they are putting poor life appointments and they are to be nominated by the party. the senate's job is to approve or disapprove. final thoughts? >> that is absolutely how it should happen. but i think what people are frustrated by is seeing some inappropriate behavior when it comes to nominations of supreme court justices. brazenly political. it literally if you don't roll the way we like, we might do it court packing scheme. that is something that has been tried in the past. fdr famously lost his effort to do it. you start with a cap and a confirmation where people came up with meritless acquisition with no evidence in support of them to defame someone because they know they were losing a court seat. his efforts to dig into them. this type of behavior i think is well beyond what is appropriate. there is a limit to what is appropriate. >> can i just add quickly a part of the frustration obviously stems back to the fact that mitch mcconnell would not even hear from er

i have to fight off people that push their way into my shop that are homeless and on drugs because you won't arrest them for drug offenses. s your liberali don't know who you are trying to please. while you sit in your million-dollar home, don't have to look at what we have to look at, there is hard-working people out there that have to deal with this on a daily basisl >> sean: unfortunately, failed liberal leaders are shrugging off their responsibility, even as the safety threat is getting worse and worse. look at san francisco, just last week from a 25-year-old homeless man violently attacking a woman outside her complex, reportedly telling her the security man was a robot. things are bad in los angeles, california, literally 124 confirmed cases of typhus last year alone. okay, what is that, a medieval disease?rm one of the wealthiest parts of the country, as you know, and it's not just the west coast. philadelphia has proposed "safe injection sites" for drug users, also under the spotlight. after the u.s. attorney intervened to argue it violates federal drug laws, well, why is it that everywhere we are promised a liberal utopia, we g

liberation organization. this is ashrawi responding to news of ththe trip''s cancellat. >> this is really unacceptable. it is a direct insult to the american people. it is a direct insult to the representatives of the american people. and it is a way in which israel shows a dictatorship that cannot tolerate any criticism and that it will prevent anybody from interacting with the palestinian people were seeing the reality of this cruel and illegal occupation on the ground. amy: the family of rashida tlaib in the west bank also expressed outrage, even after rashida to leave was accepted on humanitarian grounds to visit her grandmother, saying therere ould be no conditions put on the congressmember's visit. well, for more, we go now to ramallah, west bank to speak with dr. mustafa barghouti. he is a member of the palestinian parliament and secretary general of the palestinian national initiative, a political party. he was a presidential candidate in the 2005 elections. and here in new york, we're also joined by rebecca vilkomerson, executive director of jewish voice for peace, or jvp. her group is among those standing in solidarity with congressmemb

liberal constitutional democracy. that may take longer -- that might take longer in some places like china, but that was where the world was headed, in the 1990's, people don't talk that way anymore. we have now recognize that that euphoria has vanished. example,ve you one case study that i spent probably more time in budapest than in any other of the capitals, and i met a 26-year-old graduate student named victor orbanz. he at that time was largely unknown and was just emerging on the political scene, and was funded to go to england and study there. victor is the prime minister of hungary and is the one that you have been reading about, who be annces hungary to liberal democracy and is rejecting the assumptions -- he is rejecting the madisonian assumptions that we hoped would spread to that part of the world. well when you talk about a , liberal democracies, not just hungary, poland has moved in that direction. liberal democracy has become a theme in many parts of the world, not only in places that are clearly authoritarian, like china and russia, but countries which had entered into the democratic world. i keep thinking of central and eastern europe.

the people's liberation army is a incomparably strong and powerful force for safeguarding the security of every inch of the sacred territory of the motherland. >> reporter: last week, the p.l.a.'s hong kong garrison released this video, showing its troops training to confront protestors. asked today if he could rule out intervention, yang guang said china would never allow any turbulence that would thaten nationalty. hong kong law provides for the p.l.a to deploy if the territory's semi-autonomousth government hite panic button. yesterday's disturbances ane resulted i148 arrests, police firing 800 tear gas cannisters and 140 rubber bullets. rubber bullets were not used byi the p.l.a. at ananmen square 30 years ago wn the army killed thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators. today, three masked hong kong protestors held a press briefing to decry what they called "the lack of self-discipline" by the police. they apologised for the "inconvenience" yestereay's day-long strike had caused. >> the pursuit of democracy, liberty and equality is the inalienable rights of every citizen. we, therefore, call on the government to refrain from exterminating our right toue puhese universal val

would argue that hong kong s,ready has the social ill the great wealth gap that has led to these protests. there's lots of speculation, could the pla come in, the people's liberation china? analysts say it is unlikely, but the hard-core here want to keep this unrest going through much of today in this general strike. francine: thousands of black protesters rallying their ended locations across the city, chanting, "strike, strike," and blocking roads. that is stephen engle in hong kong. let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news. viviana: china signaling it is ready to play hardball on trade with the u.s. for the first time since 2008, beijing allowed the yuan to fall below seven per dollar. state owned companies are being asked to suspend imports of american agricultural goods. all of that coming after president trump's latest threat to impose tariffs on more chinese made products. hate has trump saying no place in the u.s., and he will be "taking care of it." the president speaking after two mass shootings in the u.s. democrats highlighting the texas shooter's anti-emigrant views, calling on the president to do immigrant -- immigrant anti- views, calling
