that strong retail sales and surging tech and energy stocks helped to boost markets on wednesday robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute is joining us via skype from part of the act that's in maryland so when we spoke to days ago robert scott you said that markets are hard to predict would you have predicted the rally that we saw today actually i'm not particularly surprised what we're experiencing right now is a period of extreme what we call volatility or highs and lows the market seems so you know you know from very low one day to bounce back the next i think what's more important is you keep our eyes on the trend. overall the market still is down several thousand points from just at levels of just a month ago and to the year both the dow and the s. and p. five hundred are up about seven and a half points seven half percent rather so that's a substantial loss of value over the course of a year but can we were displaying what is behind this major and wrestling with all its ability that you speak of barton what's behind the volatility. well i think t

robert scott is their senior economist. to hate the tariffs whether it is business leaders, mainstream economists, political opponents of president, but your study says you may dislike the president, whatever, but they are doing what they are supposed to do, reviving jobs in the aluminum industry. what is the evidence for this? was in this industry full-blown collapse before the tariffs were put into effect. 23 down to five smelters. since the13,000 jobs year 2000. the industry was just about to shut down. the tariffs went into effect and there were only -- they were only 10%. what happened immediately was we had to bring smelters reopened and a third on the verge of collapse has announced they are restarting. .hey are expanding capacity perhaps even more surprisingly, downstream industries are the of primarysumers aluminum. they are investing as well. they have been growing just as fast as the primary producers. romaine: we had a lot of industries, and users, canned food makers, basically saying this would raise prices and

all bets are off likely more worries of what's to come next april is on doe al-jazeera new york robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute he says donald trump's economic policies are only partly to blame for the stock market woes i think the dow is actually responding to some very strong and negative economic fundamentals in the economy and i think it reflects that in part the jail here is a trumpet ministration economic policies not these trade policies for say but his broader budget and taxation policy which have caused that budget deficit to skyrocket and are pushing up long term interest rates which have a much bigger effect on the markets than the just the short term rates that are being pushed up by the fed i think there's a kernel of truth to what the what trump is saying that certainly the fed has contributed to the problem they're stepping on the brakes to hearten too fast and that is slowing the economy prematurely there are millions of people out there who could still go to work who needed jobs so we could continue this long run of growth th

robert e. lee, and black high school, emmett scott, beloved in the black community. it had been there since the 1920's. when they realized that the gig was up, the school board presented a plan to desegregate , in part, by closing emmett scott high school, which again, the black community looked at as a thumb in their eyes, and here is a school that had a class that graduated prominent member subtly of the black community here but people who went on to great success elsewhere, and they said ok, if you're going to do this, we're going to shut this down. and the justice department responded that this was racially motivated. and an expert that was brought in by the federal lawyers said it doesn't make financial sense. but in late july, the judge ordered immediate integration. in his initial order, he said that they would keep emmett scott high school. within a period of weeks -- and bear in mind, school was going to start within a month, so they needed to come up with a plan pronto. under the gun, in the back room, the federal lawyers agreed and compromised with the whi

thank you. >> thank you, robert, for a great elucidation of the problem, and now it's up to scott and mike to tell us how our allies are going to help us navigate out of this. >> thanks to the center for national interest for the invitation. maybe what i'll do is briefly say a little bit about how i think president and south korean government see the u.s. and discussion and get into my discussion of perceptions in south korea of rising rivalry between the u.s. and china. essentially i think for president moon is relieved that is a break in the tension, and he got an endorsement from president trump with regards to his push for diplomacy with kim jong-un, plus an u.s.-china statement hat tip from president trump to kim jong-un. so he's probably feeling pretty good because this is the break and appearance short-lived the break in the rising compensation between china and the u.s. that essentially when that occurs it restricts south korea's preferred strategy of navigating choice avoidance between u.s. and china. south korea for first choice of voice because it's spent on china for econo

obstruction of justice investigation into president trump before robert mueller was ever appointed special counsel. let's discuss now. scott jennings is here, chris cillizza and rick wilson. rick is the author of "everything trump touches dies." also, he was grooming himself right there. he's getting pretty. what were you doing? were you taking your glasses off? what were you doing there? powdering -- >> i was, don. i was. >> lipstick. >> glasses on tv. >> it's my delicate complexion. >> seriousness to get to. we are learning, rick, barely a month into his presidency, top fbi officials were already discussing opening an obstruction of justice case on trump after comby reported that he asked him to let the flynn investigation go. he couldn't even make it a month? >> don -- no, of course not. this is a president who was obstructing justice from the second he sat down in the chair. he obviously intended to obstruct justice by trying to manipulate jim comey into letting jim -- into letting mike flynn off the hook. and so an obstruction investigation is an obvious, logical procedural legal step that would be taken by anyone who

scott. we have more from kaitlan collins at the white house. >> reporter: it seems that president trump bottled his anger toward the special counsel robert mueller unleashed it in a series of tweets going after the special counsel, but after his former attorney michael cohen who recently pleaded guilty to lying to congress. president trump is not only saying he lied under oath, but calling for the maximum prison sentence for michael cohen saying he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the crimes he committed which he says were not related to him. two high profile guilty pleas from michael cohen have had to do with president trump. one admitted he violated campaign finance laws which he did at the direction of president trump and lying to congress, which he said he did out of loyalty to president trump. this seems to have unnerved president trump. we reported michael cohen sat down with the special counsel's team for at least 70 hours over the last several weeks which is something clearly giving the president a cause for concern. dave and christine. >>> president trump showering praise on roger stone for standing up against r

scott one run by we think oh no let's wasn't very subtle but this is not satire. in another sense because why are journalists doing this has journalism got to that point robert fisk said recently that it's become a cancer as he put it a cancer of the bottom of journalism that so many journalists are now speaking for power are going along with power our power out how when i say how i'm talking about british government the u.s. government the west the inventor the super cold war a cold war actually doesn't exist in most of the world most of the world doesn't know what it's about it exists in the enlightened centers of london and washington . and perhaps in berlin and brussels and elsewhere you see obviously mainstream media hasn't really been covering the story because they've been favoring breck's it negotiation coverage but that will it has a bit of mainstream media they have been saying that the reporting all of the existence of such alleged to british taxpayer funded conspiracy is it self. shows that most go is trying to undermine the democratic values all of britain and this is a you know with this group incident and the b.b.c. has defended his decision to be

scott. >> a court battle is playing in washington in unusual secrecy and seems to involve special counsel robert mueller and unidentified foreign company. the mysterious case made it all the way to the supreme court, where the fight began over the summer went to unusual lengths to keep this secret, ordering reporters off an entire floor. the case presumably involves robert mueller's investigation based on observing the lawyers, including some from his team. a foreign company identified only as a corporation owned by country "a" is fighting a grand jury subpoena, arguing that it is beyond the reach of u.s. law, but the company was found in contempt of court for refusing to comply with that subpoena and was ordered to pay a fine for every day that it resists. president trump says mueller's investigation is pointless. >> millions and millions and millions of dollars of wasted money. there's been absolutely no collusion. >> the next step here is that the federal government presumably mueller must file its response by new year's eve. >>> new for you this morning, in san francisco, a man arrested for

robert mueller will tell us at some point. >> all right, evan perez, thank you so much. my panel back with me. scott mystery. why? a national security adviser is allowed to talk to a foreign ambassador. why would he lie to vice president pence? why would he lie to the fbi? what's he trying to hide? >> yeah, there's some questions about both the previous situation with cohen that we discussed and this one. and it all has to do with who told you to do this? who are we talking about? when you say you coordinated with the campaign, who? when flynn picks up the phone and calls a russian ambassador, who told you to do that? we do not know the answers to these questions yet. look, i expect people who lie, by the way, to get punished. i don't know what's going to happen to flynn. but as a military officer, this idea that you were duped into lying, that you didn't know that you were supposed to tell the truth unless reminded otherwise, to me does not wear well on a general. so i think that's not a great explanation for them to have out there today. >> and laura, in last week's memo, the special counsel argue

scott, always to have you. >> thank you, george. >> we have heard from mr. trump's attorney, rudy giuliani, speaking about whether the president should sit down for an interview with the special counsel robert mueller. giuliani now saying "over his dead body" in one interview on fox news. you'll remember the president has said before he would be open to sitting down, though he worries about the possibility of being set up in a trap. so is this possibility a door that has been effectively shut from your view? >> well, certainly the white house are going to demand the barricades. let's be honest, it's because they fear a face to face encounter where you can't control the statements, donald trump could open himself to perjury. on the other side, i think robert mueller's side sees this as the final point where they want to bring everything together, lay it out before the president. if we do not have trump sitting down with mueller face to face, then i think it is a question of when the mueller team proceeds anyway to layout the full extent of what they have across a number of fronts. i think that might be in the spring. it could be a bit later. but let's be clear here. that impending investigat

scott lucas is a professor of political science and international studies at the university of birmingham he says trump will be caught in a constitutional crisis bigger than watergate if he fires special counsel robert mueller. well we are on two paths right now and one of those piles will culminate the combination of the federal prosecutions and of robert muller's investigation as to when miller will bring his full legal case with political implications against trump i think that will probably be in the spring the second path is whether donald trump can get rid of robert mueller before that point a curse the problem for trump now it is not only the weight of evidence is piling up but his new attorney general pointed yesterday william barr he's the one that has the authority to fire more and i think william barr is regarded in washington as more of a straight shooter on the legal front and will be unlikely to carry out a trump order to stop more if donald trump insisted on getting rid of robert moore to try to shut down the evidence and the charges you would be in a constitutional crisis even greater than in one nine hundred seventy three when richard nixon used an attorney general to fire the speci
