stephanie: oh, that's a great question.ell, there's a lot of really distinct and wonderful things about the taiwanese american community. when people think about taiwan, the first thing that pops into mind is often the food. yeah, and you'll see a lot of that food at the upcoming festival. so i actually have a little prop here for you. it's one of the tote bags that you can actually get at the festival, but so we have rice dumplings. we have deep-fried chicken, my personal favorite. xiaolongbao, which are soup dumplings, to name a few. robert: pearl milk tea. stephanie: and pearl milk tea. robert: give people culturally the credit here, right? stephanie: yeah, can't forget about that, boba, yeah. we got it, yeah. taiwanese, we gotta take credit for that boba. so there is the food aspect of it, and you'll get a lot of that at the festival. and of course, there are the technological advances as well. a lot of taiwanese companies actually sell their goods out here in the us. so, like, htc, for example, is a big player in that

stephanie: let's just say i have -- mr.in: let's just say i have tremendous confidence in chairman powell. it depends on where inflation is, it depends on what growth is, what unemployment is. there are lots of issues that are interrelated. stephanie: and the facts coming into it is that you have may be reduced demand and an increase in supply. we're not just commenting on fed policy, we're talking about the amount of supply. mr. mnuchin: by definition, supply and demand will equate. stephanie: they could be at a very high rate. mr. mnuchin: i am not concerned about that. we have a lot of buyers for u.s. treasuries. stephanie: what you mentioned about inflation, we have had signs without commenting on the policy that they are willing to be the target for a certain amount of time and let the economy run. is that something you are relaxed about? stephanie: i think a little bit mr. mnuchin: -- mr. mnuchin: i think a little bit of inflation is a good thing. one of the aspects of the tax plan is we want wages to increase. the la

i'm stephanie ruhle. updating you on breaking news. we're learning brand-new details from just released judiciary transcripts into the june 2016 meeting between campaign officials and a russian lawyer. let's go back to national security reporter and fortunately for us a graduate of the evelyn woods speed reading course, ken dilanian. okay, you're going through the transcripts. first, i need to know, why would the senate judiciary committee release this? >> well, stephanie, we have a whole team of people actually going through the transcripts. one of the reasons the republicans who run through this, are framing this as a nothing burger. what they're saying in their guidance document, look, this is not evidence of collusion. everyone here is telling the same story. this is about a lobbying effort between a lawyer and her colleagues who helped to get that passed. and yes, there was this thing offered about the information on donors but the trump team really wasn't that interested in. -t. so far, we haven't s

we are joined by stephanie flanders and marty schenker to go back -- marty schenker. one of the big stories is the fed and what they will do. let me show you two things. where we were last month as opposed to this month, core pc year was 1.5% and headline was 1.7%. we are all the way up to 1.9% and 2%. here is what the fed had to say. overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy continue to run below 2%. they cannot say that again. stephanie: they are going to be trying hard not to change the statement much, because if you are the fed, you are looking at a situation where the market is expecting that rate rise in june and maybe a couple more for the rest of the year. they are in quite a nice spot in terms of managing expectations and they do not want people to run away with the idea that they will go much faster.

because it seems it's not 100% true. >> that's correct, stephanie.t is not 100% accurate as it pertains to michael cohen, the michael cohen we're talking about, the president's attorney. there are several sections of avenatti's report which details a number of payments. some of those payments came from at&t. those companies have acknowledged they made those payments. in the court filings, michael cohen's attorneys essentially conceded that point as well. there were a series of other transactions. some foreign bank accounts in asia. those accounts a peer to belong to a different michael cohen. in one instance, a michael cohen that lives in canada. there were a slew of financial documents. some of those documents now a peer to belong to an entirely different michael cohen or are associated with different michael cohen's. but, again, not the president's personal attorney. so that's the discrepancy there. >> i want to bring in my panel. tim, to you first. michael cohen has always been a side hustler. we could find it's not illegal. it's somewhat of a sle

>> well, stephanie, it's a good question. they have to at least come to an agreement on the contours of the talks. what precisely will be on the table. i think the challenge here is that so much has been focused on logistics. so much has been focused on timing and setting. that that may be at the expense of substance. there are these two other ongoing meetings around the world. both in north korea and sing singapore between u.s. and north korean counterparts. but it sounds like this meeting between mike pompeo and general kim that will really start in earnest today in new york city, that's where substance will really be on the table, and that's where they need to come to least an initial understanding before anything substantive can move forward. the trump administration has completely -- has insisted, consistently, that complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization is the standard. the north koreans have consistently scoffed at that. they need to find a way to square that circle. >> those images you are looking at no

i'm stephanie ruhle. in a rare bipartisan move congress has just approved the biggest regulation rollback on banks since the 2008 global financial crisis with several democrats on boards. in fact, not just several. 33 house democrats joined republicans to ease restrictions on thousands of small, note that, small and medium-size banks. those restrictions were enacted back in 2010 as part of the dodd-frank act. that act was designed to ensure that the financial collapse we saw in 2008 would not happen again. and it sought to attack the principal problem lawmakers believe led to the crisis in the first place. the growth and proliferation of too big to fail banks. the big ones. to that end, dodd-frank laid out significant reforms increased the amount of money banks must hold on to giving the banks a cushion to avoid loan losses and future downturns. and subject to regulatory environments. so what does it the new regulation do it raises the threshold from $50 billion to $250 billion. these banks will not have

my thanks to, stephanie. i go back to my guests, richard dershowitz and richard painter.do you make about that, about tom barrack being questioned by the special counsel. >> we'll find out what he has to say when the special counsel chooses to disclose that. i believe robert mueller is a highly professional prosecutor. he had an impeccable record at the fbi. the tactics he's using are very similar to the tactics that he used going against organized crime and we can have debates about how far prosecutors should go, trying to flip one witness for another, but it very, very common when you go after organized crime and other criminal conspiracies. and it's a good debate to have with professor dershowitz or anyone else. i will say it is tragic when we are talking a year and a half into an administration about prosecutors using tactics that they use to go after organized crime and it the white house and it's associates of the president and his campaign. this is morally corrupt for the united states to have a president like this who can't tell the truth, who is surrounded by peo

stephanie, if i can make one other point. it's not just that trump is demanding to see the evidence. he's taken something and just twisted it. >> it's brilliant. we're not talking about don jr.'s meeting. >> don jr.'s meeting. exactly. but remember the reason this started was trump got very agitated about the fact there was this covert source. he has turned that into a bad thing. that somehow the president did something wrong. it is actually a good thing that every american should want. the russians were trying to get to people like around donald trump's campaign. no one's trying to say at this moment that trump had anything to do with it. let's assume that for the moment. what if he, if he were completely innocent, that people in his campaign were doing nothing wrong, had wanted the fbi or the cia or both to put someone in there and figure it out. >> that's right. >> listen, straight out of the gate, when the president ran, why wouldn't he want to double down on sanctions on russia and distance himself? instead, the only two

i'm stephanie ruhle. classes at santa fe high school cancelled today and tomorrow after friday's deadly shooting. the school will hold a moment of silence for ten victims. eight students and two teachers. yesterday, the community honored one of the victims. a pakistani exchange student who had no family in this country. 13 other people were injured when the gunman opened fire. police say the 17-year-old suspend had confessed to the crime. msnbc's marianna ortencio joins me. kelly clarkson, a texas native, spoke over the weekend and said moments of silence don't do anything, it's time for something more. you have been talking to some santa fe students. what are they telling you? >> there's a lot of grief, coming to terms with what happened. they saw parkland happen in february. when you start hearing those gunshots, you never quite think it's happening in your school. i'm here with the santa fe baseball team. two of their members, rome schubesho schubert and trenton beasley got shot in that massacre on fri

stephanie: we have seen a lot of different ages.on argentina in turkey, who have had different approaches to communicating with the markets. what you think in the last few weeks in the world of central bank governors? >> in both cases, what they have in common is that governments are tinkering with central-bank independence. argentina, the fact that some months ago the government sort increased inflation in argentina. that was read by the markets as a factor that was not positive. in the case of turkey, the president being very outspoken about how monetary policy is conducted and how much influence he wants to have on the central bank. i think both of these examples talk about the necessity to leave central banks alone. stephanie: today, she wanted to stand by the central bank governor of turkey and give him his freedom. you would agree with that. >> absolutely. stephanie: we have had a local disagreement here on the view of the exchange rate do you think it's strange rate policy -- exchange rate. do you think exchange rate policy s

stephanie? >> ali, thank you.'re going to leave it there. >>> when we come back, president trump declaring a potential deal coming out of trade talks with china. he says it is one of the best things to happen to american farmers in years. what we don't have are any details. we do have the latest on the talks that are going to impact the things you buy and the people who will sell them. of course, we are watching the markets for you this hour. right there, the markets are up 260. it harkens back to larry kudlow a few weeks ago, saying, these tariffs might not happen. maybe they're just negotiating tactics. that might be the case. the markets certainly think so. remember, the market went down because it was the president who said were going to impose tariffs. now, it's this administration leaving people uneasy, confused with what exactly is going to happen going forward. you're watching "velshi & ruhle." if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be tim

let's get to stephanie elam who is covering this kilauea volcano. unbelievable, stephanie. what is the most amazing aspect of what's going on right now other than the fact you're standing in front of, clearly, a very, very active volcano. >> reporter: yeah, in fact, i'm going to step out so you can get a better vision of that lava fountain you see there. the color of it is just phenomenal, but you see behind it, that plume of white gas behind it, that is a huge concern for the people who live in this area because it is toxic. the sulphur dioxide can be very dangerous, and depending on which way the wind is blowing, it makes it very difficult for people to breathe, it can irritate the eyes. it's a problem. then if you look down, you see how the lava has just burned through and taken out this part of the big island here. i want to explain that sound you probably heard behind me as well, besides this lava you see there. you can see in the distance where the lava has coursed down and it has hit the sea water, and where its hit that sea water, it's having a reaction where it's c

>> it is new, stephanie. when i started to digest the questions last night, the first question i wanted to answer for myself is what can we learn from this about the mueller investigation? what is not made public. the answer is almost nothing except the information suggested in that question. it certainly worded in a way to suggest that mueller developed information that manafort or perhaps other members of the campaign were reaching out to the russians, talking about assistance and coordination. there's been no evidence of that so far. we have evidence of the russians reaching out to george pop develop louse and not the other way and that's really interesting because, you know, to dan's point why would mueller present the questions to a defendant? my sense of this is is because are crushingly obvious questions. they're for every one of the questions there are 12 detailed follow-ups socked with evidence, e-mails, phone intercepts, classified intelligence to pin donald trump down to force a damaging admission
