is there any media saying the prime minister of israel has delayed talks on phase 2 of this. theo, until off to his meeting with trump, what does that suggest to you? that if you would try to go visit nathaniel and the drunk the to the full team in the language, he lays it apparently, because he used to between then you will a president of the united states and the threats of his equation. they bought this. you'll see what about the idea that even if his some of if he loses more members of his cabinet, that he can rely on some left, his elements within the connected to keep his government together. has that, is that idea? now, not looking so likely. all possible, it is likely, it is possible and it really happened. there is no question in my view that if it goes full fail the piece it steps the position result. i personally believe that he can get the green light for the rest of his the deal to bill a 2000 a 26 a all the to proceed with the please. i mean that the issue of the collision should not be an excuse for not having a party to guy who arises a this we cause cause a show there is

theo leggett, gave us his analysis.d on steel. the sector in the past. that kind of thing. and later with the european union and the uk. market and also mexico. what we have seen from beijing, the tit—for—tat your thoughts on that and the growing escalation of what looks like potentially a pretty significant trade war? we are on the verge of a trade war now. tariffs on about $14 billion worth of imports. china imports about $165 billion worth of products a signal that we are willing retaliating in a big wayjust yet for fear of escalation. without making the situation worse. is potentially that aspect to it as well. you threaten and then you wind down what you are asking for. two news agencies both reporting the thing, both reporting the same thing, both quoting hamas armed wing said quotinghamas anned wing said the last few minutes they in the last few minutes they will delay the hostage releases planned �* saturday until planned for saturday until further notice. so to crucial of that line, they are to j to delay furth

that worked out so good for theo liberals that theyne try it on j.d.republican advisor toldau me after the speech was that aao lot of us were talking how it was embarrassing and how it was out of touch and selling out ukrainians. he said to me if you listen carefully, it is actually much deeper and darker. he was talking about thein. eney withinge.d thisto is some of the same language hitler used to justify the holocaust. >> laura: it could be, perhaps, the most idiotic framing i have ever, ever heard and they keep doing it. joining us journalist matt taibbi, matt, they are back with hitler comparisonsis. i'm just scratching my head at this point. >> it is kind of amazing becaus' the context of vice president vance's speech was criticism of pam continental censorship law that is really as ambitious as anything that took place under the nazi regime. he went to stand up for free speech and respecting the results of an election inor fromania for free speech rights in every european country. for that, he gets criticized as hitler figure. it is remarkable a

what did theo lawmakers need to do to make sure it doesn't happen?hakeem jeffries, there is an opportunity if a democrat and i have to be careful giving advice because apparently they haven't thought of it. march 14th is the deadline and the housp bie g.o.p. bill versit and the senate one are notno aligning right now.t quietly, they were not getting along. all included in one of them and another one celebrated -- so, that there is an opportunity here for hakeem jeffries to try to find the few republican lawmakers that don't want to spend any money, don't want any tax cuts and has this fundamental problem with it and try to create a problem for the republicans. but insteaand, they are going of on doge. if the democrats shut thefo government down even for a day, here we go, fiscal cliff, fiscal cliff, fiscal cliff! if the democrats shut down the government for doge it will takl away the problem the g.o.p. has on capitol hill with the clockre ticking. we are under a month. they need to get this hammered out. budget resolutions are not simple things. do

president spread is and yours as well as to extend the tax cuts their pass in 2017 here's what to ask theo'says extending those for 10 years could cost $4.6 trillion under the current law used by the congressional budget office. what is more like let you find enough offsets in spending somewhere to get the number down? or this talk that may beat those cuts are extended 5 years? >> were looking for the offsets. we have to be good financial stewards. the other concern is for growing the national debt. we do not want to add to the deficit by doing this. a very expensive project. and remember with got to spend money to secure the border. the biden administration opened it wide. we've got to make sure defense spending is covered no tax on tips and these other big priorities the people elected the president to do. so, making all of that work in the proper equation is where the math and the hard work comes in. we are going to make sure we find the offsets to do this in a responsible manner. shannon: in the meantime house democrats have a look like you're going at it along to the party line vote rea

the joe rogan's of the world, the theo von's of the world. he resembled those types of people.o he became somebody that donald trump needed and donald trump trusted. and then when it came time to execute on donald trump's many campaign promises, because elon musk has long been an agitator in washington, he trusted that elon musk could be the face of all of these cuts and all of this disruption. it's a very unusual role. as you mentioned, it doesn't require authority of congress, but it also puts elon musk in quite a precarious position because he's not an elected official, because he hasn't been congressionally approved. a lot of his moves will come down to the courts. people will put legal pressure on them, as you know, paula, to try to determine whether or not he has the broad authority to do the things he's doing. and so right now, this feels like a big showmanship role. he's going to come out with a big hammer and try to slap every single nail that he sees. but whether or not he'll be successful long term, we shall see. >> well, let's pivot, of course, the white house this

[cheers and applause] these people need a basic lesson in the u.s. constitution. [cheers and applause] elon musk didn't create the consumer financial protection bureau. the representatives of the people of the united states congress created the cfpb.

our business correspondent theo leggett reports.t harry king & sons near ipswich, they've been building and repairing small boats for 170 years. it's a highly skilled job, and all the work is done by hand by a small team of craftspeople. but for owner sarah curtis, running the business is becoming increasingly difficult. wages, obviously, is the biggest cost. electricity, which has doubled — notjust the unit price, but the standing price has doubled. that will have a significant impact on our business, because we can't pass that on. material costs have gone up — anything between 5% and 25%. again, we can pass some of that on, but not all of it. so all of those things will impact our profit and our ability to grow as a business. means it's increasingly difficult to make ends meet. food shopping — that's almost doubled in price. energy, gas and electricity. especially in wintertime. it's definitely vulnerable people — myself included — where we have to have the heating on, can't cope with the cold — i wouldn't be able to we want it on

political commentator theo usherwood, who joins us in the studio and with the threat of trump's tariffs. keir starmer is going to have to tread carefully with this one. >> he's got a very, very fine line to tread. good morning to you both. of course he's going to be the first leader of the first prime minister since brexit to actually be allowed to attend a eu summit in brussels. and you heard donald trump there. he was clear, you know, he he's putting for the moment. he's putting the uk in with the european union. but he's saying to the uk, look, he's saying to keir starmer, if you back away, if you find a way that we can do a deal, not aligning yourself in the with the european union, then i'm sure that we can work something out. but keir starmer is looking for this pact, a trade pact with the eu, which will involve in return, by the way, some sort of youth mobility scheme. the eu don't give us anything for nothing. and that risks, i think, you know, going by the rhetoric from donald trump there, that risks are just only increasing his ire and anger towards us. >> but what about i mea
