[video clip] >> we have to keep in mind there is a plan from egypt and the arab countries to discussions in riyadh. i think the point is how do we make this work in a way that is good for everybody. obviously we have to look at the best interests of the united states, the people in the region. we are going to have some interesting discussions today. one of the things we can do right away is take 2000 children that are either cancer children or in very ill state to jordan as quickly as possible. and then wait for i think the egyptians present a path on how they want the president to work on those challenges. >> excuse me wait please. i did not know what you just said, 2000 children with cancer or other problems. that is really a beautiful gesture. it is really good and we appreciate it and we will be working on the rest with egypt i think you will see some great progre

white house, because we're getting our first sense of the executive order on tariffs that president trump just signed. i want to bring in nbc's gabe gutierrez and cnbc senior analyst and commentator ron insana. gabe, what can you tell us about this? what happened in the oval? >> hi there chris. >> good afternoon. well, president trump had been teasing this for several days. and just days after announcing that 25% tariff on steel and. >> aluminum, the. >> president now announcing what he calls reciprocal tariffs. and senior. administration officials. are saying that. >> this is. >> essentially to ensure, in their view, that there is a level playing field when it comes to trade around the world. now, senior administration officials significantly say that this is not a just against a foes of the united states, but also our friends. this could potentially affect our allies we've seen over the last several weeks. president trump threatened tariffs against mexico and canada. well, this line of this sweeping announcement of reciprocal tariffs could affect basically everyone around the world. but there's still a lot of questions about how this will be implemented. senior administration offic

now, ron insana, cnbc senior analyst and the ceo of ipi, and dan nathan, co-founder of risk reversal and a cnbc fast money contributor. what will all of this mean if donald trump takes if the white house takes more direct control of regulating and supervising our banks? >> well, there's, you know, creeping deregulation in the financial sector, which, as we know from prior experience, is going into 2008, led to a crisis, a crisis that almost brought the entire world financial system to the brink of failure. so i would be concerned that any move by the white house to impede the fed or other regulatory agencies ability to oversee banks is setting us up for an event some day in the future, maybe not too distant future that will be extremely problematic. >> why are they doing this? >> you don't. >> have to go that far back. it's 2008. >> you go to 2018. >> when they deregulated in 2003, we had a banking crisis where we lost, what, a half a dozen regional banks. >> one of them was the fourth largest in the country. >> yeah. i mean, so we have some history with this. and i think the other thing in looking at that article in the reporting and, you know, it's not just in and around the f
