let's bring in peter schiff c.e.o. of euro pacific capital peter thank you so much for joining us today i want to jump right in here so let's start with your reaction to this reporting regarding china's plans to remove foreign hardware from stays offices in. is this a consequence that the trump administration may not have seen coming when they started their battle with weiwei some months ago. well you know government members never sees the unintended consequences of their actions and certainly this is one of them had this is one way that america loses by fighting a trade war the best thing to do would be for trump to concentrate on making government smaller that is the real problem for u.s. companies but unfortunately trump has been making government bigger he the other problem has been the federal reserve but now donald trump is leading the charge for the more of the same reckless monetary policy that has been the problem in the past and so it's going to continue to be a problem in the future. you know trade has been a

liz: peter schiff, the last thing i want to ask you is when do you see a rate cut? you are arguing a rate cut. most people are arguing nothing, then a rate hike. >> well, again, i don't think the fed should cut rates but they will. i don't know the exact timing of it. it's going to take another drop in the stock market or some more weaker economic data. remember -- liz: stronger dollar. >> no. the dollar is going down. you mentioned that we had a strong economy. we don't. we have a bubble economy. the only thing keeping the air in the bubble is the fed. the reason the fed had to start cutting rates was because last year, the air really started to come out of that bubble. so the fed had to blow some air back in. so this is not a strong economy. it's never been a strong economy. liz: what should rates be, peter? what should interest rates be? >> well, i have no idea. they should be much, much higher than they are now because we have no savings in this country, massive amounts of debt. obviously interest rates should be a lot higher to encourage more savings and to cut

kaiser report about whether there was going to be inflation or deflation and a lot of people like peter schiff predicted hyperinflation because there would be so much money printing they can't print $14.00 trillion dollars and have no inflation well shadowstats that john williams runs was always the one that measured real inflation remember he removed all the hit donek adjustments now so we never actually see inflation in the fischel numbers but wolf richter at wall street dot com i think has figured out that where you're starting to see it and that is what's behind the sub prime consumer loan implosion these are the good times but why are subprime credit cards auto loans and short term installment loans blowing out ok we've got a situation in sub prime consumer loans the delinquency rate on credit card loan balances at the nearly $5000.00 smaller.

you can bet that if adam schiff's phone records had shown up in peter strzok or lisa page someone republicans would say this is a conflict of interest. >> abuse of political power to smear his opponents that's what it is. joe biden lashing out at an iowa voter, their heated exchange making a big splash on social media. the impact this could have on the former vice president's campaign.

the gop claims schiff had inappropriate contact with the whistle-blower whose complaint sparked the impeachment investigation. joining me now is gary peters the bipartisan whistle-blower protection caucus. thank you for taming time this morning. >> great to be with you. >> as you know, this allegation against schiff is one of the many debunked ael eed allegatio republicans regarding the impeachment inquiry. he did not have contact with the whistle-blower to our knowledge. the whistle-blower reached out to the committee. the committee referred to proper channels. do you believe that schiff might want to testify to face the questions and clear the air? >> that'll be up to chairman schiff as to whether or not he wants to do this. but it seems to me what we're seeing is just the continued pattern of trying to distract from the real facts. i mean, this is a very, very serious situation. the facts that have come out through the hearings, i think rb are very damaging to the president. i think what we'd like to see and what the american people would like to see is what the counterargument is the white house has opposed to always debating the proc

schiff and the unnamed whistleblower. cheryl and ashley. ashley: thank you very much. fox news' petercy caught up witupwith joe biden and asked hf he would testify if called by the senate. >> the white house is saying if there's a senate impeachment trial they might like to call you as a witness. is that something you will do voluntarily. >> i'm not going to let them take their eye off the ball. the president is the one that committed impeachable crimes. ashley: the basis for the inquiry resolves around the allegation that president trump pressured ukraine to investigate joe biden and a his son, hunter. cheryl: there are trade deals front and center now for president trump now that he's back in washington. >> reporter: president trump is back at the white house, cutting his trip a little bit short in london. the administration juggling a number of different balls in the a air, the usmca negotiations, the talks for the phase one deal in china and the impeachment hearings, talking about trade at the white house. they would like to see that done in congress. usmca ratified in in congress

intelligence committee with adam schiff and what in enormously poor judgment in the church of choice of someone to leave the impeachment inquiry. instead of someone like peterdemocrat during nixon, who was respected for his fairness, henry hyde, a republican, jerry who is not simply respected but beloved, on both sides of the aisle, very conservative republican but he believed in our culture of liberty as you well know. instead of someone like that of real dignity and stature, she chose someone who had led this extravagant ill-founded theory of russian collusion which, by the way was step in saying were going to listen to professor tribe on how this will hold up, now she is intruding into the power of the senate. it is the senate that has the sole power to try impeachments and now she wants to, i gather, condition the sending of the articles over. she's done her work. appoint the impeachment managers and then they present the articles before the worlds greatest body, the senate. she's trying to pose this in a way that the record was inaccurate and i believe it's woefully inadequate to convict and remove the president from office in the senate. mark: as i st

peter doocy. thank you for the report there. ranking republican on house intelligence, devin nunes now threatening legal action against potentially adam schiffocrats for putting nunes' phone call logs in the house intelligence impeachment report. here is devin nunes on that, watch. >> now i can't even talk to rudy giuliani who i have known for 10 years. that is supposedly a crime. i'm in his report for supposedly doing something wrong. so this is, this is wrong. what is happening -- >> you're a sitting member of congress. >> whatever happens in this town is wrong. i will look at whatever legal remedies i have. i have some civil rights. liz: joining me former federal prosecutor katy. yakowsky. what legal remedies does devin nunes have? >> it is a little complicated. congress has many reasons to issue subpoenas when they're doing investigations but there is not unlimited carte blanche authority it has. devin nunes has potential remedies against the phone carriers, that they could have challenged the subpoenas earns there was not enough basis to comply with them, saying that was improper disclosure of his information if they did in fact disclos

peter, republican line. go ahead. c-span, i haveto followed the entire process of the impeachment, from those court hearings, if you want to call them that -- a better term is a kangaroo court. especiallynadler -- schiff, he set it up. he indicated he was only calling specific witnesses, and they were all anti-trump. we all knew impeachment was a done deal. that was given. we know it is going to happen in the senate. what your callers have indicated today is that it is dividing the country tremendously. one of your guests minutes ago indicated how much she thought trump was a liar. the economy is doing well. unemployment is low. he is working toward achieving diplomatic relationships. everyone is so concerned about putin and russia. you know russia has only one aircraft carrier? they are not the military force ago wheny were 50 years i was in college. we need to be more concerned about china. isn't he trying to work out with china diplomatically and north korea? those are the areas of concern we should be looking at. host: peter mentions he has been following this process. c-span.org/impeachment. everything is contained there from start to finish, judiciary committee, intelligence committee, all the h

schiff talk about, and another connected to obstruction of justice. that really relates to value volume two of the report. >> jeff, stand by i want to bring in jeremy peters. the republicans put out a memo last night basically, a minority report, they write that there is no evidence that the president had a negative apparatus. but they talked about an irregular channel. . there is really nothing this thing that acknowledges any form of wrong doing. you might say he is trying to get to some wrong doing, but there will be no acknowledgment that donald trump did anything wrong let alone impeachable. >> that is right, and that has been their posture all along. for them to concede that this president did anything wrong would be to put themselves on the wrong tide -- side. it doesn't really matter what the facts are in this case. the transcript shows president trump is saying yeah, i need you to do me a favor, though. and they said there is no quid pro quo. the facts will say one thing and the spin will say the other. and i think what is the most remarkable about this process is how if i recollefirmly that spi in the consciousness of the average trump supporter

schiff was talking about impeachment. remember trump just won in november, and they are already swapping reading list including the presidents men and using wanting only about impeachment. this is the same peter strzok, keep in mind, he didn't want to be an investigation into what a foreign country did to us in 2016. that wasn't enough for him. if not impeachment he didn't want anything to do with it. so again, put yourself in donald trump shoes. you are being investigated, in fact, the investigation has begun by a guy who said the reporters will do anything to stop it. they think you are loath them -- loathsome and an idiot. and investigating someone, no wonder he's got so little confidence in the fbi right now. >> martha: what about the freedom of speech because she said look this had no impact on my work whatsoever. i'm an american citizen. no one can take away my rights to say what i want to say when i'm off-line and away from work. and that's all this is. it didn't impact my work at all. >> trey: yeah, you know, two points of that, yep, she has freedom of speech and we have the freedom to reject what she said and tell her we don't believe it. but the point is this, keep in mind peter str

this is being driven by schiff and nadler, pelosi, partisan people and i think it's going to meet a quick end in the senate. >> joining me now, democratic congressman peterelch with a welcome to you. your reaction to senator graham, that this is a joke of a progress, it's going to meet a quick end in the senate. >> it's absurd. what he's saying is this is all hearsay. the fact is the main evidence is the president's own words. he released that transcript where in that call with president zelensky he said, do me a favor, though. that favor was to do investigation on hunter biden and joe biden and also to promote that theory of totally repudiated that it was ukraine in 2016 that interfered in our elections. so it's not hearsay. the words we're hearing were from president trump himself. >> so, when you hear senator lindsey graham, who's been a member of the senate for a number of years, do you believes this process is a joke or is he just that loyal to the president? >> well, it's hard to believe he believes what he said because there's no basis for whatsoever. and he's sticking up for the president. the defense has not been at all, at all to address what w
