fifteen days time mexico and canada is currently negotiating a trade agreement excepts from for now trump sas individual countries all free to negotiate their own exceptions it's. all right let's more about this that's what the financial correspondent in new york yeah this move was really highly anticipated by a donald trump just what exactly has he signed off on. you know well and there were really some harsh words from u.s. president donald trump calling the reason to trade to practices in assaults on the united states and even if he is inviting all countries to negotiate i'm not quite certain how that's going to work out if you take the european union for example it's not necessarily the fastest moving body and well those tariffs will kick in in fifteen days and even when it comes to canada and mexico yes they're exempt for now but also do a lot depends on the nuff the talks and donald trump made clear that there is still a certain chance that he might even get out of nafta saw a lot going on at this moment and then comes to the markets what's happening there how did the markets react or w

they ended up with, quite frankly, rick sa cone, who claimed he was trump before he was trump. he's extraordinarily conservative and actually doesn't line up with trump in some areas on questions about unions and entitlement programs. and that's really how connor lamb won this race. he ran as a moderate democrat. now, republicans are trying to say that the reason he won is because he actually ran as a republican in disguise. take a look at that, and we'll discuss whether or not this is accurate. >> at the end of the day, he ran as a republican. >> mr. lamb was brilliant. he ran as a republican. >> both of these candidates, the republican and democrat, ran as conservatives. ran as pro-gun, pro-life, be anti nancy pelosi conservatives and that's the take-away you see here. >> i would posit to paul ryan

before, just before i joined you we got a big dump from westmoreland county, the trump of the trump, it's not sacone is not doing as well as he needs to. in the rest of the districts saccone need today run up the score with high red districts where trump did better than typical republican candidates and saccone is not getting it done. kennedy: maybe too much of a typical republican, doesn't look like the night is going his way at this point, the race is not over yet, chris stirewalt, thank you very much. >> you bet. kennedy: is now a good time to be making this switch, matt, we heard about turmoil and chaos within the white house, i don't think tillerson's departure is a huge surprise, what do you think? >> no, three months ago "the new york times" and others were reporting that tillerson is on his way out, he will be replaced by mike pompeo, this has talked about, trump called that fake news. kennedy: failing new york times reported that. >> had fun with all of that. he always seems like where is waldo guy in this administration, he was out on trips or something, but he wasn't in conjunction wi

and a skeptic about trump's diversionary tactics who's next jeff sessions is on the cover of time saying no one's above the law or ben carson you know with a thirty one dollar dine at sas you know that trump has got something on everyone and when it's handy he'll just pick someone off so as all of this stormy stuff was happening last week boom russia russia russia you know it's a hot button he's been criticized for not criticizing for lad this was his chance to look like a tough guy it was a truly is and it's tragic that we're seeing a big julian assange caught in the cross-fire sure you know it but the other thing that i find really interesting about the entire julia songe case is that you know most mainstream news outlets you get their feelings on this real quick joe they don't like him despite using the information that he provided he's lee fraud you know yeah you know they're the middleman exactly and they view him as like this impostor now and you know a lot of the talking heads will say that he's a russian puppet because of like you know releasing the d.n.c. emails but you would still expect them to objectively stand for a universal right to a free press and free

robert mueller has sa meaned the trump organization to turn over certain documents, including some related to russia. the timing of the report is not clear, but word of it appeared as mueller appear to be expanding his dealings with president trump. >> your finances, your family's finances unrelated to russia, is that a red line? >> that would be a breach. i would say it's -- >> what would you do? >> i can't answer that because i don't think it's going to happen. >> does the president still believe -- does he draw a distinction, do you know, between a red line on family finances separately from family finances or business finances relating to russia as it pertains though case? the president believes very strongly there was no collusion between the trump campaign and russia. we're going to continue to cooperate with the special counsel and for questions specific to the trump organization i would refer you to them. >> the "new york times" points out that the trump organization has typically complied with requests from congressional investigators for documents. and there was no indication the

mueller also probing this apparent plot to hatch a trump-russia back channel in the s sa saychelles. so consider what all these stories amount to. we're seeing a picture of bob mueller hunting down trump aids quite effectively, and a picture of donald trump trying to hunt down mueller, but ineffectively. donald trump asking his white house counsel to get mueller fired, then asking him to deny it, which that counsel, don mcgahn refused, then we see trump confronting him about it and claiming it never happened. now mueller has that exchange, as does the "new york times." take it all together, you actually see something pretty big and important here. trump tries to move on mueller and fayils and mueller catches him doing it, and those people he asked to deny it never happened, some of those people who worked with or for donald trump, they report that to mueller, that not just embarrassing, it's not just a little shady, this story is legally important because every time donald trump hides his efforts to pressure or hobble this criminal probe, he is literally giving prosecutors like here y

trump. and the national argument is, well, you know, it emboldened those who are resisting our president. >> right now, again, why i'm going to vote for sawant to see trump's agenda, given a chance. right here, right now, these eight or nine months, i can the most effective person as a tool to get president trump's agenda through would be saccone for that reason. it's not just because he's republican. fascinating conversation there. >> yeah. so i mean, we wanted to see if this was going to be a referendum on the president. >> and the president himself suggested it was going to be -- >> well, from his perspective, it seems leak it's a referendum. or at it seems like everybody race has been a referendum. but my take, if first and foremost, they got nine months. we're going to vote in whoever they vote in and if they don't do a great job, we're going to vote again in november. this saul about turn out. what we need to remember is that -- >> as it is in so many cases. >> 70,000 more democrats are registered in this district than republicans. if they're able to get more turnout for the dem's side, it could go to connor lamb. but if you're a t

sa value lass. >> it is important to understand this is a notice of removal. it doesn't actually indicate that the trumpeam is looking to actually recover $20 million. instead, it is a jurisdictional requirement so that the trump team can drag this case out of state court and up to federal court. they have to allege greater than $75,000 for diversity jurisdiction to apply. now, they may never actually seek that money. they may never actually go after her for defamation. but for now this is just part of the tactic of taking the case out of the plaintiff's home court, which is california state court. defendants, particularly large corporations in cases often like to remove because if the plaintiff chose state court as its forum, if nothing else, it will throw the plaintiff off its game to take the case out of state court and up to federal court. but the next move by ec consultants and the trump team will be this. they will file a motion to remand the case, kick the case out of the court they were just moved to and back down to arbitration. because arbitration is where ec consultants can win this case. >>

sa tough day. this is a very tough day right now for president trump. and as tim and april and yourself and i are kind of ruminating about what's going to happen, i think there is great concern. because donald trump is not a product of washington. he doesn't have allies in town. he wasn't a former senator. he wasn't a former governor where he was surrounded by people that believed in him necessarily and came with him here. he surrounded himself by people right now that are folks who have either made their career in politics or folks tried to make their career in politics and saw this as a golden opportunity to go to the white house. he is in a lot of trouble. and as tim said we'll see a lot of ranting and perhaps behavior that could top what we have seen so far. >> all right. thank you all very much. >> what's new? >> well, i guess that's the case, if she was the last thing between him and that, then it was a thin barrier indeed. but nonetheless such that it was, whips of a barrier is gone. who will follow hope hicks out the door? one of the crucial que

one of whom is speaking from a point of view of absolute obey sa sance and the other is ronald reagan. let's listen to donald trump>> you came through for me and i am going to come through for you. the eight-year assault on your second amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end. you have a true friend and champion in the white house. no longer will federal agencies be coming after law-abiding gun owners. >> i do not believe in taking the away the right of the citizens to own guns for sporting, hunting, and so forth or for home defense, but i do believe that an ak-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense. >> jason, is there a way to wrestle the shock collar off of the republican party when it comes to the nra or do they have to be defeated at the ballot box? >> the only way you can defeat them is at the ballot box. there is an inherent dishonesty and disingenuousness with the way gun owners are often represented. people in my family own guns. they are not the crazy. the nra are the crazies. i was at that speech last year in atlanta in 2017 where trump spoke. i thought it was very interes

again, the question there then becomes can sa coccone win them over. and donald trump talking about the economy, saying keep it going. this is the message for saccone. >> we have breaking news and then i'll let you ask a question of tom. "the washington post" just at 8:40 a.m., two minutes ago, with this breaking news. trump ousts secretary of state rex tillerson. will replace him with cia director mike pompeo. president trump has ousted secretary of state rex tillerson and replaced him with cia director mike pompeo. >> wow. >> orchestrating a major change to his national security team amid delicate negotiations with north korea. white house officials said tuesday "the washington post" goes on and says tillerson has made public remarks last year insisting he was not planning to quit, despite persistent reports of disagreements between him and the white house over staffing issues at the state department and a disconnect over what president trump saw as tillerson's conventional approach to policy matters. >> wow. >> so we will get back to pennsylvania in one moment. but

president trump has agreed to meet the leader of north korea kim jong un the white house has confirmed the plans saying the time and place is yet to be determined the surprise announcement was made by sas korea's national security adviser speaking after talks in the white house. north korean leader kim jong un. is committed. to do provide solutions that he expressed he said you got this. president from as soon as possible. president from appreciated both briefing and said he would meet. by made for cheap home and. we heard the announcement and now we have confirmation from the white house that yes a meeting will take place between kim jong un and u.s. president donald trump now this would be the first meeting between the head of state of the united states and the government of north korea their head of state this is quite a surprise to many people we've heard secretary of state rex tillerson who recently said that the u.s. it was a long way away from any negotiations with north korea and furthermore we've seen that the united states recently impose new sanctions on the country now there's also been quite a heated exchange and war of words between the two leaders in recent months. year

sa 07. the dollar weakened, too the big story is the trump administration announcing tariffs on steel of 25%, aluminum of 10% that will be detailed next week joining us on the panel to discuss all this, stephanie link, u.s. equities manager, courtney gibson, and mike santoli, our senior markets commentator. the big winner in the dow was verizon. we can call it that on a day like that. the biggest loser was und technologies after a strong session yesterday on that big ackerman investment. the biggest winner was vision health care and biggest loser was patterson companies. mike, what do you make of the market action? ed it looks like it was spurred by the tariff announcement we talked about the implications >> i think that was definitely an accelerant. i want to stop on the news and say, that's really not what was going on, but it really was. it really was something that pushed the market further in the direction it might have gone anyway what was happening beforehand, though, is a market that was very uneasy and on edge and not sure if it needed to pull back more into the lower end of its rec

trump addressed the latino coalition summit here in washington. he said he's ready for a deal on the so-called dreamers under daca, the deferred action he sa. >> we'reing to have a dac ark victory for everybody, by the way. the democrats are nowhere to be found. they're nowhere to be found. really terrible. we're ready. you know the expression, ready, willing, and able. we're ready, willing, and able. they're nowhere to be found. they don't care about the immigration system or reform, and they don't want to solve the problem. they would rather use it to get elected. >> all right. what's your reaction to that, congressman? >> just lunacy. this president had many opportunities to deal with us. there were many deals given to him, even funding his stupid border wall, which i was against, but it was part of a deal. at the end of the day, he just did not know how to deal. he has no control over his own staff. chief of staff john kelly has zero -- and steve miller is an outright xenophobe. the president needs to figure out what he wants then make a deal. the biggest problem we have is trump. >> he says he is willing to allow 1.8 million dreamers, including

sa saccone on almost all his issues. the sort of deciding swing voter in this is the union voter. tim murphy was very, very good with union voter. so was trump. the problem for saccone is he is a right to work candidate. that makes the union vote swing more toward lamb because they believe he has their backs. i don't think as many voters as i talked to who are union voters, they still love trump and vote for him again. because of saccone's right to work stance, they are leaning toward lamb because they see him as someone that is independent. >> it is clear here the trump victory in 2016 has told both parties they can no longer take the working american for granted. both parties for years did that. that is why the trade stuff, l salena, the democrats and republicans see nostalgia for living wage and decent job zero in on that. >> again, both lamb and saccone support the president's trade stance. support the tariffs. saccone doesn't stand a chance. young, charming, great resume. saccone is not young. even though he has an incredible resume, he served in military for 18 years. intelligence agency. he was the last diplomat in north korea. that s

trump. >> the president dishing it out or taking it this weekend. "saturday night live" back on the air after the olympic hiatus. >> i introduced tariffs for the steel and aluminum. both sides hate. it i sa -- hate it. i said i would run the government like a business. that business is a waffle house at 2:00 a.m. [ applause ] >> crazies everywhere. staff walking out of the middle of the shift. managers taking money out of the cash register to payoff the russian mob. >>> let's get a check on "cnn money." u.s. stocks ended lower for the week. the selloff could continue today. futures are lower. global are markets are mixed. why is the market freaked out by trade? the president threatens to undo his pro business works. that is also bad for inflation which is behind the recent wild swings. >>> how many passengers does it take to kill a $40 million tax break for delta? 13. delta airlines ended the nra discount due to consumer pressure. that angered georgia republicans who stripped a jet fuel tax break which was signed in law friday. only 13 people ever used that discount. delta says it remains neutral in the gun debate. one of a dozen companies cutting ties with the nra in the wake of the par

trump do this. the one republican said let him have his temper tantrum and put tariffs on. everybody in his orbit or his party thinks this is a bad idea. when he sa then go to him and have a conversation. one republican, very senior republican said treat him like a child. let him have his moment of angry and then come to him when he's calmed down and explain why it's a bad idea. it's worth stating here if you take a step back that the president finds himself on an island with practically no one else in his party and going into a midterm election where the house is in increasing danger, the senate is not, but 239 members of the house are up for re-election. many of them are afraid of their political future, running solely on the tax bill, and the president is doing something that paul ryan and kevin brady say is going to undo the good of the tax bill. so from a political perspective, it's very, very dangerous, republicans tell me. i'm not a fortune material but the people up for re-election, this is a bad bad situation for them. >> we are in an election year, josh. in terms of policy, should we expect to see anything happen? you have these departu

it say that donald trump, who's facing this storm of stormy daniels, who is now -- it's been okay that he can face a defamation lawsuit against a former "apprentice" attendant who sa -- contestant who says he acted inappropriately around her. there are still more than a dozen women who accused him of misconduct or harassment. and he's talking to and thinking of bringing back a man who was fired because he allegedly beat up his two ex-wives. >> donald trump doesn't have very many core beliefs, but consistent behavior pattern has been that he gives men the benefit of the doubt when there are credible allegations of assault. he did that for roy moore. he did it for rob porter. he did it for corey lewandowski on the campaign trail when he grabbed a reporter. he does not mind about violence against women. it is something that really just, it doesn't matter to donald trump, and he just is showing us that this is something that is not going to stop him. he's going to staff his white house with whoever he wants, wherever he whatnots, and flaunt this behavior. >> he can't get a security clearance for him, we should note that. "the times" also reports that what donald trump
