trump seems to be moving, steve miller said it yesterday, i heard from president trump, he seems to want to move this system toward more tariff-related revenues and fewer income tax-related revenues. and universal tariffs seems to be out there whether 10 or 20% i don't know. >> i think that tariffs are a mines to an end that -- a means to an end that end is bringing manufacturing base back to u.s. that in theory, tariffs would be a shrinking ice cube, you would tariff a country and then as the production comes back to the u.s., the income tax corporate revenues and the pay income tax goes up and tariff income goes down. the current account deficit goes down. trade deficit goes down. soy, tariffs are a mean to an end to reshore you know economic security in the u.s. larry: you still concern about r reciprocity and unfair trading practices. >> completely, we saw several things, probably only good thing they could say about the covid crisis it was it of course a test run for what a hot war could look like, a deeper economic war could look like, and we realized that ultimate supply chains ar

steve miller the architect, he amazes me every day. we have a good team, we will not fail this president . >> sean: chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their right in resisting trump's deportation policies. the governor of new jersey basically admitted that he knew somebody that didn't have full documentation, that he was hiding over in his garage. then we have a senator saying that people should have the right to sue sanctuary cities and states that aid and abet in mom -- lawbreaking, your comment on all of that. >> i think the governor is foolish saying what he said because won't let it go, we will look into it. if he knowingly is harbouring and concealing an illegal alien that's a violation. i will seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution. maybe he's bluffing, we will deal with that. as far as century city's, get in line because the trump administration is going to do that already. they are sink choice for criminals. sanctuary cities in new york city, if they were to give us the killer of laken riley when

larry: steve miller said it yesterday but heard it from president trump too, he wants to move the system towards more tariff-related revenues and fewer income tax related revenues and tariffs out there whether 10 or 20%, i don't know. what can you tell us about that? >> larry, tariffs are a means to an end and bringing manufacturing back to the u.s.. in theory, tariffs would be a shrinking ice cube that you would tariff a country and going back to the u.s. and income tax and corporate revenues and the pay of income tax going up and tariff income would go down and our act going down and means to end to re-shore economic security in the u.s.. >> we saw several good things ts and the covid crisis was a test run for what a hot war could look like, a deeper economic war could look like and we realized that optimal supply chains are not secure comply chains so we want to bring back medical supplies and we've got to bring back shipbuilding and things like that. we know we have a group of industries that we were very vulnerable during covid crisis and places like china and most imbalanced econom

. >> steve miller is publicly stated that cutting. >> down on fentanyl. >> precursors coming. >> to the. >> us is the whole. point of these tariffs. >> so if. >> you know, mexico and canada can. abide by what. >> donald trump expects of them, great. that being said, it's going to be a. >> little trickier for china. >> to give trump exactly what he wants. >> but that's also one of the questions here is what does he want. because tariffs have always been a negotiating tactic. even during the first term, they were more targeted specifically against china, but they were used to get people to the negotiating table. so a do you think that will work as a tactic. but b what is the goal that he's trying to get to here? i know they're saying it's stemming illegal immigration and stemming the flow of fentanyl, but are tariffs the right way to go about that? >> people are really sharply split on this. i think. >> there's two. >> there's an economic question which is are. >> tariffs good. >> for the economy? >> no, there's a general. consensus today. >> that businesses. >> and consumers don't. >> be

so you know what a great team we got steve miller, the architect, right? he amazes me every day at the white house. we have one hell of a team. we will not fail this president. >> let me read a headline to you. chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their rights in resisting trump's deportation policies. the governor of new jersey, phil murphy, basically admitted that he knew somebody that didn't have full documentation that he was hiding over his garage. then we have thom tillis, senator from north carolina, saying that people should have the right to sue sanctuary cities and states that aid and abet in law. breaking your comment on all of that. >> well, i think the governor is pretty foolish saying what he said, because i got note of it won't let it go. we'll look into it. and if he's knowingly, knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien, that's a violation of title 18. united states code 1324. i will seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution. so maybe he's bluffing. if he's not, we'll deal with that. and as far as suing s

i think it was steve, steve miller that said it best. he said the the authority of the president will not be challenged. and that's what we're seeing happening right now. >> scott, i'm aware when it comes to foreign aid and when it comes to kind of the scale of what usaid does, this is like putting it on a tee for you on some level to to just really wind up and take a swing. republicans have had issues with this for a long time. some of the projects and some of the grant recipients certainly have run afoul of where republicans want to be over the course of decades, not just recently, but it is statutorily an independent entity. this republican party is the rule of law party. there are ways to address this. there are ways to zero out funding. there are ways to review things or change it legislatively. this is not that way. what's the rationale here? >> well. >> it is an entity that exists within the executive branch. that's number one. and it has often been at odds with the u.s. state department. and that's not a good thing. as marco rubi

miller, the intensity and energy that he brings does rub off on these guys. they need it. >> go ahead, steves the rangers play on the road, the knicks are going to be at home. >> oh, yeah. >> listen, the knicks -- >> the lakers and knicks, 8:30 eastern. abc world news tonight, or your local news is next. >> ain't no lakes in the jungles.

donald trump and stephen miller and steve bannon and other people that advise him are pretty unapologeticbout the strategy. they call it flooding the zone. the idea is they are going to make so much news, they're going to make so many outrageous statements every day, that it becomes really hard for americans to understand what's real and what's not real, what's important and what's not important. i'm not saying that the president's comments last night on gaza won't have deep impact. they will. i can guarantee you that hamas and hezbollah and other terrorist groups in the middle east right now are using the president's comments to recruit. the idea that the united states is coming to gaza to invade, occupy, cleanse, and level gaza, that is bulletin board recruiting material for terrorist groups. our country is less safe today than it was yesterday because that is easy recruitment material for the groups that we are fighting, it keeps them alive at a moment when they were on the run, it separates us from our allies, because despite what president trump said last night, that tfsh agrees with
