we are finding with many voters they didlking to that not imagine the trump administration would actually do the things it is doing. if you like it is their obligation to leave a legacy for their children and they need to stand up to this administration. guest: we have calls -- host: we have calls waiting period joining us from missouri, we hear from gary on our republican mine. caller: do not get me wrong. ado not think donald trump is carnival or nothing but he talked about separating people at the borders. what about separating babies in the womb? does that mean anything? guest: there is a lot of energy around the issue of abortion certainly. the trump administration did what it chose to do by nominating supreme court justice they think is going to change that law. footing for a democratic candidate for congress is not a commitment to supporting abortion. there is no connection between those. there are many pro-life democratic candidates. they exist and are on ballots all over the country. this conflating of abortion and somehow people believing their personal vote is their personal su

there needed to be at least a little bit of market opening so the trump administration could say that it was different than the underlying nafta. wisconsin,t out, some of these key states, dairy is a big issue. will beng else, that something the administration can campaign on going into 2020. host: brett is in pennsylvania. independent. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i heard something there that was pretty disappointing about his car companies going around the new deal and just buy all their parts from china. i don't know if that will work. america is awake now. we support our president. a lot of talk from people who don't even vote, out there protesting, they probably don't even have a voter registration card. there are plenty of us veterans, which i am one, and good working union guys all over the country, different generations, we saw our manufacturing base was given away. now we have a president that want to take it back and you are saying these companies are going around the back door and sneak stuff in from china? i don't think the american public will go fo

the trump administration was not very happy with the korea-u.s. trade agreement with the north american free trade agreement did not terminate this agreement. we negotiated them and will try to discuss what has changed or not changed. and there is of course now much more discussion about reform. there's a lot happening in the world of international politics and we will try to address some of the most important issues and what should we expect going forward. .. >> and president trump is very fond of types. he talks about that often and in a positive way. so, i would like to first get a sense from the panel here about what is president trump trying to accomplish and do you agree that it's a powerful effective tool to bring about the resetting of u.s. trading relations? who would like to get a start? why does president trump like so much? >> well, i think that paris could be an important instrument in the respect. because size matters in this respect. the large market and the chinese exports 20% to the u.s. and 20% of imports from china. the other wa

now, the trump administration has expanded junk insurance plans. these plans are cheap for a reason. they do not have to provide essentiall h health benefit like hospitalization, prescription drugs and maternity care and according to the fine print of one of the plans sold in several states including my home state of than, marketed by golden rule company, the plan doesn't even have to cover hospital care on a primary saturday. so, it will be just your bad luck if you happen to get sick and need health care on the weekend. and, the very first exclusion states that it provides no benefits for preexisting health condition. the fine print also notes that if you're pregnant, that will be considered a preexisting health condition. these junk insurance plans can deny health care coverage to people with pre-existing conditions when they need it the most and that is why i am leading this effort in the unitedheit states senate to take action and stop this sabotage. mr. president, this is personal to me. when i was nine years old i got sick. i was really sick

this is another first for the trump administration. nikki haley has several incentives to leave the administration now. first of all, two-year run as u.n. ambassador is a perfectly respectable run. many u.n. ambassadors have served less time than that, some served more. a politics with a future of a politician has no incentive to stay at the u. for too long. nikki haley has padded her foreign policy long enough to be a candidate in 2024. and in the meantime she will no doubt want to make some serious money. she is not one of the rich people in the trump administration. she has been living largely on her government salary and her husband's income. she has tuitions to pay for her children so she can leave now and make millions of dollars doing speaking engagements, being on corporate boards, and avoid any of the tarnish that she might pick up from another year or so of being associated with donald trump. nikki haley is doing exactly what she should do exactly when she should do it if she hopes to have a political future. and by dating her

the trump administration was not very happy with the u.s. trade agreement or the north american free trade association but renegotiated them and we will discuss what has changed or not changed. and there is much more discussion about reform. so there is a lot happening in the world of international politics and we are going to try to address here some of the most important issues and what do we expect going forward. now, having laid out that background, let me then turn to the panelists and first, i think it is important to take stock as to how come we are at this juncture in international trade politics. why is protectionism on the rise? now, when you say protectionism, what first comes to mind are tariffs and quotas. and president trump is very fond of tariffs. he talks about them often. and in a positive way. so i would like to first get a sense from the panel here about what is president trump trying to accomplish, and do you agree that tariffs are an effective powerful tool to bring about that re-setting of u.s. trading relations? so wh

president be behind trump's concerns about interest rates and how that may reflect on his administration. >> still ahead, candidate gives cannabis the green light. >> up next, president trump insists tariffs have not harmed the u.s. economy. we will discuss the trade war. is bloomberg. ♪ you're watching daybreak australia. the u.s. treasury has refrained from naming china a currency manipulator. the report says it will continue to watch the yuan after its recent slide. our guest is your to discuss the implications of this. great to have you back. thank you for your time area at how positive is it that the treasury refrained from naming china a currency manipulator? >> i don't think there is any surprise. given the strict criteria in the statute for naming any country a currency manipulator. in some ways, china dodged a bullet. the treasury made it clear they will closely monitor china's currency practices. there are a lot of other tensions in this relationship. point of other tensions in the relationship, the trump administration could be pulling out of the 144-year-old postal treaty tha

that is not to say the trump administration could not go ahead. the trump administration could impose sanctions on muslim brotherhood. but that would open the possibility that an actions of evidence, it could be overturned in a court subsequently, so you see the intersection of international players advocating on one side of the debate for their own selfish reasons, but ,ou also have it reverberating a rule of law that jealously guards the truth and evidence. and it exists as the case, but i think the right position is for an american audience is to simply follow the law, and honor precepts because of this process becomes politicized where you have groups being designated because you don't like them, not because there is clear evidence of terrorism or violence, that opens up the way way ofly -- opens up the abuses in society. >> sorry, go ahead. >> just a little addition here. i agree with everything andrew said. there is pressure from some regimes in the middle east on the united states to consider the muslim brotherhood to be a terrorist organiz

the trump administration abandon the obama administration's use of a program that was 97% effective inssuring appearance. now there's a merely choice they have is to keep them in immigration jail or two separate. that is absolutely wrong. they can release these asylum seeking families underer supervision.n. amy: what are these kids and families facing? why it caret would make the decisionon to remain separated from their child because they feel for the child lives? >> take this one father we want to see. we said we want to come see you. we will see you anytime for the day. he said, i can't get off work stuff we said we will, night. they said, no, they gangs have close down the town. i am not allowed out of my house. you certainly can't come here. this is the danger. what parent would live in -- willingly give up their child? lot you were in san diego a bigger shooting with the government. >> and in court. amy: trying to get the government to release the children. the first set under five and then the others going up into the teen years. what wasn't the government giving you? and what i

at the same time, the trump administration is calling for a complete reset of u.s. trade policy. skeptical of multilateral trade agreements, argue that negotiating one-on-one is best for the united states. and it's also been very critical of the world trade organization, making the case that it has not been fair to the united states. the trump administration has reverted to what we call managed trade tactics, and that is trying to set outcomes to try to reduce bilateral trade deficits. and it's very clear that the tool of choice is tariffs. there will be a lot of discussion today i think on tariffs and quotas. and of course we all know that the u.s. china trade war has escalated very very rapidly. now, while all of this is going on, while we see tariffs and quotas increasing, it is also very true that countries are very -- governments are very actively negotiating trade agreements. so japan and the european union have made the case that they still believe that more bilateral trade agreements are best and they have actually negotiated some very large, what we call mega trade agree

one of the things that the trump administration cares about. so let us look at those things and try to get a sense of whether these would be endangered, should the united states respond aggressively to what has happened. the first area the trump administration values is regional cooperation, in particular, on middle east peace, the u.s.-iran policy and syria. and on middle east peace, i think jared kushner is going to hope that saudi arabia will pressure the palestinians to accept less than what they have been seeking for decades. mbs himselfis that seems to be 40 with the possibility of endorsing the u.s. position, but in august, king salman came out and said that a two state solution should result in a fair and just equitable resolution to the refugee issue. so i doesn't seem like saudi arabia will be there when the administration needs it, to bless and endorse their peace plan. even if they did, i have doubts as to whether the palestinians would buckle under saudi pressure, given this is an existential issue for the palestinians. on syria, t

just as a juxtaposition with the approach to the trump administration. walmart is often thought of as a company that, in its approach and in its values, is almost diametrically opposite to patagonia, making new things, lots and lots of them, as opposed to re-use. and yet you have partnered with them. but you have had a very, you have taken a very trump administration even showing off he's called it evil government. why that approach? >> let me answer the question by backing up to the first part where you said yourself we took this activist approach. i've been a groupie there in patagonia since it started in 1973, one of yvonne's climbing partners hanging out there and doing contract work for them going all of the way to the beginning and i've been there as awe witne a witness and a tool for environmental activism for initially supporting activists and so i've watched this place now for a little over 45 years and i can say that it has never been more committed to activism than it is now. it's now over $a billion dollar a year company and it's getting henr

now, patagonia has taken the trump administration to court over the reduction in bears ears. i'm curious about the approach that you've taken with a company like walmart, just as an juxtaposition with the approach to the trump administration. walmart is often thought of as a company that, in its approach and in its values, is almost diametrically opposite to patagonia's, making new things, lots and lots of them, as opposed to reuse, and yet you've partnered with them. but you've had a very -- you've taken a very hard line as a company and your ceo has taken a very hard line on the trump administration, even showing off his -- he's called it evil government. why that divergence in approach? >> well, let me answer your question by backing up to the first part of it where you yourself said that we took this activist approach, and you know, i've been a groupie there at patagonia since it started in 1973 as one of the main climbing partners, you know, hanging out there, doing contract work for them going all the way back to the beginning so i've been there as a witness to watch ho

but i do think someone like mbs may have taken that lesson from the trump administration in particularich is particularly unconcerned about human rights. the obama administration didn't exactly -- bush was more interested in human rights. >> moral leadership -- >> put more at stake on that. you can criticize u.s. policy for a lot of years, but trump in particular with a clear just explicit disregard for anything like human rights. >> except mary kathryn, take a listen to senator lindsey graham talking about this issue. >> i want everybody in the world to know who we are when it comes to events like this. and i want everybody to understand that if you're an ally of the united states, because we have strategic interest, that you don't have a blank check to do anything you would like. this is a game-changer for me. >> do you think it actually -- i hate to use the term game-changer. such a horrific cliche. but do you think it is a game-changer? i have to say, that interception of what the united states stands for is nice in theory, but that's not the reality. >> no. much respect to senator

sean, what kinds of challenges does thiscase president for the trump administration? >> they're huge. huge. they're our largest arms purchaser. california is actuallynt depen on saudi oil coming here because we're a bit of a fuel lad. the economy and the stock market can be very spooked. so right now the economy's thriving. is is all coming right before he midterm election, to huge implications. >> this story's been going on for more than a week. intelligence sources say today that is inconceivable that the saudi prince did not know what was going on that consulate. at this point there are ripples incalifornia. when you have $6 billion in saudi investments in silicon valley and huge pension funds and universities that investments here, there's going to be pressure now for people to say do we want -- does this represent what california's about, to have investments with this government when the contention is that they dismembered a journalist for the "washington post" in a consulate? the outrage has just been i think worldwide. so where do they go from here? because aga

he called the trump administration and the most spiteful american government towards iran in the past president trump's remarks in the u.n. general assembly last month were president trump called the current iranian regime a corrupt dictatorship and when rouhani spoke sunday told students the united states is seeking regime change in iran. the trump administration has denied the regime change is the ultimate goal, but that didn't stop the countries later there in tehran for laying out what he sees as a coordinated effort to reduce legitimacy of the regime in tehran. take a listen. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: the final goal, and they started with a political role, economic role, issue for the efficiency of the system is the field goal. reporter: the words by rouhani about u.s. warfare do come after the president decided to pull u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal earlier this year, increasing economic pressure. arthel: trey yingst, thank you very much. eric: that does that that does it for us at least for now. we will be back in three hours. trendy right now, more news fro

the -- site they are all on the same page. >> the trump administration is simply addressing the lawlessness of the obama administration and restoring the law. congress in 1964 and in 1972 addressed the issue of sex discrimination. you cannot tell me in the minds of congress they were thinking of gender identity and all the stuff we are saying today. if this is a problem they should change the law. what the obama administration did is unilaterally changed the definition to the gender identity term. the trump administration is restoring the law. shannon: they also said they don't comment on a leaked document, commenting on anything about that but they said the broad definition of sex on a federal court in december 2016 and the obama administration did not appeal. the court order remains in full force in effect today and hhs is bound by it as we review the issue. what do you make of that explanation? >> everybody does deserve to be treated with respect. i disagree with tony and the hhs, they are split on gender orientation. on the civil rights act. we could go back 1000 years and egyptians had

picture plan which is president trump doubling down on protecting american sovereignty. >> shannon: how is this different and big ways or small from the obama administration strategy? >> they say to his broader and more comprehensive than anything that has come before. recall that then candidate trump called islamic terror one of his key issues. the focus of his agenda that was terrorist ideology, a stark departure from obama the convention that islam is an essential feature of terrorist organizations. >> we recognize that there is a terrorist ideology. we are confronting it and i think it has long been the president's view that without recognizing it is an ideological struggle. >> shannon: shannon, a core feature here like the obama administration strategy. that one, we can take our eye off that. julian, thank you very much. before we go, another update on the countdown to the kavanaugh boats. early tomorrow, right now senator republicans have it locked in? here's chad program. >> shannon, it all goes into motion in less than ten hours. tonight the leader mitch mcconnell keyed up a procedure will vote to end the debate on brett kavanaugh. the senate leav

has received a lot less money from the trump administration. they have cut funding for unesco, the u.n. refugee agency, the palestinian entity, the human rights council. no, it has not been good years for the united states at the u.n. she defended u.s. policy, but io 't think with a majority of the 195 members of the u.n. the united states and nikki haley were terribly popular. laura: what qualities should the president be looking for in his next u.n. ambassador? mr. riardson: well, first, somebody who has access to the president. that is paramount. secondly, a politician with stature, knowledge of foreign policy. i think thiss a job that is cabinet-level. it cannot just be someone who is perceived as not a player. i think those credentials are what are needed. knowledge, somebody that can get along with other nations' ambassadors, and somebody with stature, political, that is close to the president. laura: ambassador richardson, thank you for joining us. mr. richardson: thank you. laura:k it has now been a w since journalist jamal khashoggi wa

official close to the crown prince for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi while the trump administration tells the world wait, wait, wait, give the saudis more time, bracing for battle. president trump gets a new lawyer weeks before democrats salivating to investigate this president could probably flip the house. >>> plus, conflict of interest watch. why does president trump suddenly want the fbi to stay so close to the white house? democrats are charging it has everything to do with the trump hotel business. we'll explain. welcome to "the lead." i'm jake tapper. we begin with the world lead. the saudi government which originally claimed for days that "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi exited and entered the consulate without incident is now considering blaming a top intelligence official close to the crown prince. mohammed bin salman or mbs for his murder. three people with knowledge of the plan told the "new york times." this news comes as saudis insist they need more time for their investigation into his likely murder, and remarkably the u.s. government, the trump administrat

she has served in the trump administration and kept trump's confidence and was not public low at odds, but kept some distance and independence and maintained a reputation for integrity. that's a skillful balancing act she pulled off. i think she is one of the few people who can emerge from the trump administration with her political prospects enhanced rather than diminished. >> she spent six years as governor of south carolina and almost two years as un ambassador. she didn't have a lot of foreign policy experience going in, but she has considerable experience now. >> she broadened her reach considerably. if she were to run for president, nobody could say she has no foreign policy experience. the person she works for had no experience, one could argue. look, i think she positioned herself very smartly and we don't know what she is going to do next in the next couple of years. if there is a possibility that donald trump doesn't run, she will run. there is no doubt about it. she is a political creature and i think getting out in front of all the line of people who are going to -- as joh

shaun: if it finds collusion between the trump administration and russia? rep. coffman: if it is a violation of law. mr. crowe: i came out after i reviewed judge kavanagh's record and saw that he stood for, after he was nominated, i said he was not the right choice for america. whether you are talking about the issue of gun violence in america, women's health and reproductive rights, environmental protections, he takes this court drastically to the right and he is a step back in time for this country, in my view. this process was bungled from the beginning. the process was not followed. we did not go through due diligence that i thought was appropriate for a lifetime appointment in the supreme court. was also very important to say is that i believe dr. ford. i believe the starting point has to be to believe women. i believe her testimony and i found it compelling. i found a deeply troubling and yet, the senate still crammed through the appointment. shaun: but democrats are talking about impeachment proceedings, would you support that? mr. crowe: right now, i wou

this was a good old fashioned beat down of a federal fish agency by the trump administration. the next stop is the state water board, where the department of the interior is openly threatening to disobey and ignore state regulations on flow and water quality. staff of the sfpuc have told us they've been at arm's length from some of this political maneuvering. we urge the board to support supervisor peskin's proposed ruz resolution plan and the delta plan consistent with bay area values. thank you very much. >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good evening. i am cindy charles. i am a native san franciscan, i've been fishing on the tuolomne river since i was a kid. i wanted to thank supervisor peskin for his resolution. i am also here to state that i am deeply disappointed at the actions and the attitude of the san francisco p.u.c. with regard to the bay delta plan, the state water board bay delta plan. i have been attending some of these meetings, i've made comments. i am very disappointed in their attitude or their position of aligning with the trump administration

but this isn't the first time the trump administration has sought to limit the rights of transgender people. president trump tweeted in july of 2017 at the military, they would no longer accept transgender recruits. a federal judge has blocked the pentagon from implementing the rule. the lawsuits will be challenging it, and they are making their way through the courts. angelica alvarez, cbs news, the white house. >>> we have just gotten this information in. we are following breaking news for you. a san francisco judge has just issued a ruling upholding the jury verdict. the jurors, they held the company's roundup weed killer caused a man's cancer. monsanto appealed that and just now the judge denied his request for a new trial. however they reduced the award from $287 million down to $78 million. >>> on to campaign 2018, california voters are weighing whether to repeal an increase in the gas tax. >> the money is suppose to go towards fixing roads. but backers of prop six say drivers should not be forced to pay extra at the pumps. >> melissa caen on what both sides are saying a couple

president trump's administration continues to roll back environmental protections on everything fromer, co2 and , and otheral mining protections. and your mind, does the roll back out the way the damage to our environment? rep. mcmorris rodgers: the trump administration is not doing anything to roll back the protections for environment. they are going to make sure the standards are in place. too often what happens is that somebody in washington, d.c. think they know what's better for walla walla or for washington state than the people that actually live here. we absolutely agree, we must have clean air and water. it can be done locally better. the walla walla way. what this community has done with the walla walla watershed is a model for the rest of the country. the diverse stakeholders coming together to decide what is best, how do we get the fish runs? how do we ensure other needs on the river are represented. we need to focus on results, not just pushing paperwork to satisfy some bureaucrat in washington dc. moderator: your rebuttal? mrs. brown: the trump administration is rolling

trump says u.n. ambassador nikki haley will be leaving his administration at the end of the year. the president and haley confirming in the oval office at the president has accepted her resignation. president trump says he and haley have done "a fantastic job together." ambassador haley touted the administration's accomplishments in the united states is now respected on the world stage. >> look at what has happened in two years with the united states on foreign policy. now the united states is respected. countries may not like what we do, but they respect what we do. they noted that if we say we are going to do something, we follow it through the president proved that. the u.s. is strong again, in the u.s. is strong in a way that should make all americans very proud. >> harris: chief white house correspondent john roberts live from the north lawn, certainly something to see. a good relationship for the world to view today. a lot of body language there. >> it was a real shocker when we heard that he she was resigning this morning. it has obtained her letter of resignation which is a

support, the trump administration support for the president of honduras, who ??all joe the whole idea of the contested election, the people protested days on end, that international groups s said there shld b be a new electionon, and how ththat contriributes to t this marcrch northward? >> first of all, i think it is fish u.s.for the foreign aid is not what most americans s like to think it is. very often u.s. foreign aid is like a b boomerang. you puput money - -- what they e to do o with the money to purche either merchandise or seservices from the u.s. ,n t the case of central america the last four or five years, which didid show a an increase n the normalal amount of u.s. foreign aid, has b been primariy eaearmarked for essentially sesecurity and d defense purpos. so the purpose j just the pepern you anan interview, is correct. they d do not necessarilyy see a tangible manner what the u.s. aid meaeans. what is true is ththe people in government, in this case in honduras with hernandez, he''s been able to build far more than anybody elsese before him. his arme

amy: and the trump administration of responding? speaks withis, who the saudi counterparts often, saying, we are monitoring intellectually. of course, president trump and jared kushner's very close relationship to the defector ruler in saudi arabia. >> yeah, i think the saudis must have cut related -- the s sun ad the king must have calculated, if the king had anything to do with it, must have calculated that they're going to get a pass from washington, that the contract are two important, that the alliance is too important, the billions of dollars the united states gets out of arms and planes and other things in saudi arabia -- banking, oil -- is much more important in washington than some dissident who was disappeared in istanbul. or the hundreds of thousands of yemenis were dying of diseases like cholera that are completely treatable because of the siege imposed by the saudis and the m roddy's and their allies -- emirates and their allies. one would wish our supine senators and members of house of representatives would get up on t

but the trump administration isn't finished. they found new ways to reduce coverage for american families and to raise costs. that's what the president trump plan is all about. that's what we get a chance to vote on. the senate is broken up with 51 republicans and 49 democrats. if all of the democrats vote for tammy baldwin, and i think they will, we still need two republicans to see if they will come over and vote not only against the trump plan but vote for the millions of families like those that i've read about today on the floor who are counting on quality health insurance to be there when they need it, who believe that no one should discriminate against someone because of a preexisting health condition. that to me seems fundamentally fair. i have raised a child with a serious problem. we faced this time and time again. nobody should have to face it. a vote for tammy baldwin's resolution of disapproval on the trump plan tomorrow will put america on the right course for families that need health insurance that he can count on

we have seen conditions worsening under the trump administration. look, it's an administration that made it clear they will make it as painful as possible for people to go through the immigration system. they are detainingeo moree than ever before, and in conditions like this that we have found. th are tearing familie apart and separating children and parents and canging the rules to make it as difficult as possible for people to fight their deportation cases., rom top to bottom, the administration is going to try to make detainees and immigrant ves as painful as possible. >> and who is held at this it faci? are they political asylum applicants or c peopleught during i.c.e. raids? >> yeah, i think that is important to remember about all this. that most of the peofe held at thilities like these, they are fighting their immigration, they are theretheir immigration case is ongoing. it could be asylum seekers. it could be people fighting deportation. many many pple do not have a criminal record and they are not suppose to be held in very punative conditi

now, patagonian -- patgonia has taken the trump administration to court over the reduction of bear's ears. i'm curious about the approach that you've taken with a company like walmart, just as a juxtaposition with the approach to trump administration. walmart is often thought of as a company that in its awe approach and in its -- approach and in its values is also diametrically opposite to patgonia's. and yet you've partnered with them. but you've had a very -- you've taken a very hard line as a company, and your ceo has taken a very hard line on the trump add -- the administration. why that divergence in approach? >> well, let me answer your question by backing up to first part where you yourself said we took this activist approach are. i've been a group i by of patgonia -- group by of patgonia since 1983, doing contract work going back to the beginning. so i've been there as a witness to watch how he founded the company, to be a tulle for environmental activism -- a tool for environmental activism, for initially supporting activists. so i've watched this place now for a little over

you know who is feeling good about the trump administration? the despots of the world who have been given an explicit green light to do whatever they want, including our close allies and friends the saudis, who the trump administration has completely thoroughly embraced, basically giving them carte blanche, even as they go about starving the people of yemen. and now the saudi government it appear mace have murdered and possibly dismembered a saudi dissident and u.s. resident who writes for "the washington post" named jamal khashoggi. he disappeared from the consulate in turkey a week ago and has not been seen since. for now i'm joined by very contributor to the intercept, and you interviewed khashoggi just a little while ago. tell me about him. >> so this is a saudi journalist, chris. this is not some democrat opposition member dissident. he was a saudi journalist, respected in saudi arabia, a former adviser to the saudi royal family, member of the establishment, chris, and he started writing articles critical of mbs, the crown prince de facto

xers website she was a senior member of the trump administration she was put in position within a few days of donald trump winning the us election she is at the white house we are expecting imminently mrs haley and donald trump to appear in the oval office for what donald trump has said on twitter as well a big announcement with my friend embassador nikki haley in the oval office at ten thirty am local time that's eight minutes ago so soon as that happens we'll carry that for you live of course here on al-jazeera will stay with these pictures and we'll talk to our u.n. correspondent mike hanna mike what are they saying about this where you are. well peter the news has just been greeted here the united nations no firm responses yet but certainly there is a great deal of surprise and indeed shock in the hallways of the united nations there had been speculation a few months ago that nikki haley was at odds with the president however that was done a very vehemently by hailee herself and indeed by those close to president trump the indications we're getting at the moment is that this is go

and trust me, there are many instances when need a person like that in the trump administration. behold ryan zinke. ryan zinke was a republican of congress before trump named him to run the department of interior. one gets the sense from mr. z c zincy that he would like to make that as high profile. he rode a horse to work on the first day of the job. he use fare funds to stop traffic in that entire part of washington, d.c. so he could show up on a horse, because he thoug thought. once he dismounted and made it inside the building, secretary sinke would v that a staff member would be assigned to run to the roof of the building, to run that up the flag pole whenever ryan zinke was at his desk. so everybody could tell from a distance or maybe from a passing plane that ryan zinke was in the house. it has been a sort of hallmark of ryan zinke's political career that he has sometimes overdone it a little bit with the visuals. when he was running for congress,inch irked a lot of his republicans by putting the trident sign on his campaign bus which sort of implied that the navy s.e.a.l.s

how do you make the sweeping changes in a trump administration? >> first of all, i am in a group in congress, a climate change caucus, and one of the issues i'm working with is to say how can the united states integrate trade policy with environmental policy. what we are doing often is we are raising our and prime mental standards, but we are raising our costs and pushing jobs and manufacturing overseas to countries that don't have the same environmental standards. i think that is a big question. how can we do better domestically in terms of bringing our carbon footprint down, but how can we integrate that with trade. we are projecting it will be a significant increase in electric vehicles. the question is how do you produce the energy to do that. i received an award from the coalition, so i have been supportive, but also supportive of the national renewable energy research lab in terms of funding, because we don't want renewables subsidized indefinitely. we want them to be cost competitive. >> jason? >> thank you for having us here. we appreciate

the trump administration is also moving to weaken u.s. standards for radiation exposure. proposal would increase exposure to medical, oil and gas workers. joining me now is the astrophysicist and author of "accessory to war." neil degrass tyson. lots happening at the epa. >> by the way, the universe is fine. >> it's earth that's the problem. >> just make that clear. >> i just want to sort of get your impression of the relationship between government and good science and good policy. >> well, so i, as a scientist, and my colleagues, we conduct science. generally unmonitored by a government agency. with just the effects of our creativity and where we want to take our curiosity. it tends to be that the biggest funded science is what comes out of a government. and this can move the center of mass of a field in ways that individual workers -- >> because governments can sometimes do things that aren't profitable or make better -- >> correct, they have deeper pockets so they have geopolitical reasons. we went to the moon not for science but we got some science done on the way, p

has taken the trump administration to court over it. i am curious about the approach you have taken with a company like walmart, just as a positiontion with the of the trump administration. walmart is thought of as a company, in its approach and values, almost diametrically opposite of patagonia, making new things and lots of reuse -- instead of reuse. the you have partnered with them. you have taken a hard line as a company and your ceo has taken a hard line with the trump administration. why that divergence in approach? >> let me answer your question by>> backing up to the first part. you said we took this activist approach. a groupie at patagonia since 1973, doing contract work for them, going back to the beginning. i have been there as a witness to see how he founded the company, for initially supporting activists. i have watched this place for a little over 45 years. i can say that it has never been more committed to activism than it is now. it is now over a billion dollar a year happening and it is -- it is doing kickass activism

i'm phil gale welcome to the program the trump administration has been hit by yet another resignation this time u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley she appeared alongside president trump at the white house to confirm the move but gave little away about the reasons behind her decision was haley is one of only a few of original trump appointees left and he's team she'll step down at the end of the year. the u.s. ambassador's resignation took many by surprise. nikki haley and u.s. president donald trump haven't always seen eye to eye but addressing the price after the announcement the two were singing each other's praises nikki haley ambassador to the united nations has been very special to me she's done an incredible job she's a fantastic person after he was appointed to the u.n. post in november two thousand and sixteen prior to that she was the first female governor of south carolina. the forty six year old was seen as one of the more central figures in the trump administration last month the forty six year old coordinated the president's second trip to the united nations includin

i think that the trump administration, one thing that the media and the press completely missed with olerance policy, if he was hamstrung by the settlement in the way that he dealt with families coming over and crossing the border illegally, because he can only keep children for so long, and that's why it was either catch and release or to separate the families, so that was a problem that the trump administration came across in the same problem that the obama administration had come across. but democrats miss the fact that president trump is strong on immigration. >> harris: no, they did not. >> lisa: but the senator for american progress, the liberal organization put out a memo saying, sanctuary packs a punch. this has been a losing issue for democrats, even in clinton districts and swing districts for democrats abolishing i.c.e. and sanctuary cities. >> harris: i will help you out, let me show you why, because, maria, when you go low, you go low, not you personally. but watch this from nancy pelosi. >> we have to do something other than building a wall, which you can't do very well,

day 637 on the trump administration, president trump just wrapping up a rally in missoula, montana where he, among other things, retold the story of his victory in 2016, went after hillary clinton, called democrats an angry mob, and urged republicans to get out the vote. >> the choice could not be more clear. democrats produce mobs. republicans produce jobs. >> there you have it, the new talking point. the president also said the upcoming election will come down to a few key issues. >> this will be an election of kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order, and common sense. that's what it's going to be. it's going to be an election of those things. there are those that say that caravan didn't just happen, it didn't just happen. a lot of reasons that caravan, 4,000 people. but i just want to thank the mexican government because they're stopping it hopefully before it every gets to mexico. [ cheers and applause ] as you know, i'm willing to send the military to defend our southern border if necessary. [ cheers and applause ] all costs because of the illegal immigration onslaught brought by the

how do you enact these changes in a trump administration? >> first of all, i am in a group in congress, a climate change caucus. one of the issues i'm working say howthe caucus is to can the united states integrate trade policy with environmental policy. ist we are doing often times we are raising our environmental standards but in doing so, we are raising our costs and pushing jobs at manufacturing overseas to countries that don't have the same environmental standards. i think that's a big question -- how can we do better domestically in terms of bringing our carbon footprint down but then how can we integrate that we trade? i think we are projecting that there will be a significant increase in electric vehicles. how do you produce the energy to do that? from thed an award energy coalition so i have been supportive of renewable energy ilt also a supporter of enra in terms of providing funding. what we don't want to do is have renewables subsidized indefinitely. we want them to be cost competitive with conventional fuels. >> jason? >> thanks
