banned in china or are trump's tweets banned in china >> reporter: just the tweets just the tweets. so this morning we saw the tweets being reposted. people were screen grabbing them and putting them on to social media. so it's just another indication that the government is really sensitive about it and wants to control the narrative because likely we're going to see what washington sees when they wake up and when they find out what's going on with president trump, is this a negotiating tactic or is he really ready to kill this trade deal once they figure that out, then maybe we'll see what the chinese reaction really is. >> incredible to think they can scrub the web with 1.3 billion people the chinese government is -- >> there are a lot of people in china. there are a lot of people. >> there's a lot of people in china. >> a lot of people in china who are apparently as the shenzhen falls 7% eunice yoon, you're not angry. thank you very much. >> i'm not. >>> stocks are down 500 points on the dow s&p and nasdaq down as well. joining us with insight and analysis, david kats, chief inve

this is what he tweeted over the weekend. for 10 months china has been paying tariffs to the usa of 2 a 5% of $50 billion of high tech and 10% on other goods. these payments are partially responsible for our great economic results. the 10% will go up to 25% on friday. $325 billion of additional goods sent to the u.s. by china remain untaxed but will be shortly at a rate of 25%. the tariffs paid to the usa have had little impact on product costs, mostly borne by china. the trade deal with china continues but too he slowly as they attempt to renegotiate. cheryl: larry kudlow clarified the be president's remarks. listen. >> the president is i think issuing a warning here. we've made great progress. we want to be optimistic. but if it doesn't work out, then i think what the president is saying in today's tweet is that we will continue the tariffs. we believe that's in the best interest of the united states. and china has got to end its unfair, nonreciprocal trading system, they're breaking the laws. we hope they'll come around wi

here is the tweet.h disturbed some of my people and others but not me. let's pause for a moment and look at why japan has good reason to be disturbed when north korea test fires missiles. this shows the most recent test launch from north korea. those missiles landed in the sea. not always so close. some of north korea's test missiles have actually flown over japanese territory in the past. now, in the meantime, north korea's propaganda machine is getting a makeover as the pink lady, who was the tv face of the regime for decades, gives way to a new generation and new techniques. cnn's brian todd reports. >> reporter: she is called the pink lady. north korean state television's version of walter cronkite. for decades, she delivered north korea's most who can't understand announcements with breathless energy. once even donning all black and crying openly as she announced the death of kim jong-un's father. but now it appears north korean state television is looking to refresh its image, putting her into sem

tweeted this yesterday. for 10 months china has been paying tariffs to the usa of 25% on $50 billion of high tax and 10% on $200 billion of other goods, the payments are partially responsible for great economic results to president. the 10% will go up to 25% on friday. that was in scheduling, that was the deadline, that means $325 billion. additional set to be remained untax but will be shortly, 25%, tariffs to u.s. have it little impact mostly borne by china. trade deal continues but too slowly as they attempt to renegotiate, no the president writes, joining more to talk about and what china is trying to do here and u.s.' response of collapse of china, chief investment market strategist also with us phil orlando, great to see you, gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. let me get off with you gordon in terms of the president saying china wants to renegotiate, how do you read that, the president blaming the chinese for want to go renegotiate and he's saying no, we will not go in that direction? >> in f

it seemed to come out of the blue this tweet.hings have been going so well, do we know where it has all gone wrong? that is not clear to be honest and you're absolutely right, things did appear to be moving on a a positive pace. remember, just last week, we have the us trade delegation led by the us trade secretary stephen nguyen and the trade representative robert lighthizer. they were in beijing at the end of last week and at the end of those talks, mnnuchin actually tweeted that those talks we re actually tweeted that those talks were productive and they would move to washington at the end of next week. —— mnuchin. we have had the threats of further tariffs as you just explaining in those tweets and thatis just explaining in those tweets and that is not going to go down well with beijing. and there are reports, i think it is in the wall street journal, suggesting that this high level delegation that was coming to washington from china, that may be off now, do we know about that? well, that is not been confirmed yet to be hones

let's take this tweet in two parts.et's talk about the part about the missile test, his reaction to them and what we've heard from the national security adviser. >> reporter: it doesn't square, david, as you explained. john bolton told japanese-based reporters that, in fact, those missile tests are a violation of the united nations security resolutions. donald trump seems to be downplaying that. might this be strategic, perhaps, allowing bolton to take a harder stance and the president to open the door to negotiations, but think of what this does with talks with shinzo abe. the japanese are concerned. they don't think this is small potatoes about these missile tests by north korea. as you know, oftentimes the missiles will head right over to japanese territory, right? this is a major concern for the japanese and it's something that likely will come up, certainly will come up in their talks tomorrow. they've been talking today. you heard the president reference, for example, that they touched on trade, the military, othe

powers 1st the brewing trade war with china and now a war of words with iran on twitter the president tweeting if iran wants to fight that will be the official end of the wrong as american warships move into the region the question is are these war games or are they the real thing i'm calling aspen in berlin this is the day. i would say to the romans do all underestimate do this all of us take it when someone keeps trying to scare you it means they feel they're not yet ready for war. and if america could do anything it would have done many things by now. to say it's very unlikely that i don't think they have the courage to start a war with a round there will see who will come 1st the those walls or the wall still if he threatens i'm coming to you then come because if you say something you have to act on it let's see how much of a man you are if that there is that or attached to it will retaliate and that is something that the road is this is really very very powerful. also coming up on the day after 8 years and more than 70 episodes game of thrones comes to a net diehard viewers around the wor

in other words, the trump tweet won't work? >> i'm afraid that the trump tweet won't work because in china, concern is always of losing face, and i think that this is a slap in the face of xi jinping. i think he will take it very badly. i could be completely wrong. let's understand that. but i've had enough classrooms and studies in china over the past 40 years to understand that face is very important and i think in this instance, face is being lost and it's going to cost the president, it's going to cost the united states, it's going to cost china to see the trade talks distended, disturbed and probably put down. let us hope that i'm wrong. i really do want to see these things succeed. i would love to be able to see china and the united states make amends with one another and move forward with trade but this i think is very disturbing and i find it disconcerting. as i said, i came in net short in my own account and i'm not quit sure what to do. stuart: does that mean you're not going to buy anything or sell anything as of rig

president trump's tweets about u.s./china trade talks, and then withdrew all the tweets.d them because it turns out he had a typo in them, where he basically said we have 25% tariffs on $325 billion in goods. it is actually $250 billion. the three into $25 billion is still to come, so that -- the 325 billion dollars is still to come. in another world, you would say why would the markets move on this, but markets are right. the president is governing by tweet. the markets would be foolish to just ignore it. lisa: absolutely. senator scott, who was just on with us, really took a hard line, saying this is not our ally. this is not a country that has been a good actor in a lot of things. if that represents what president trump's thinking, the likelihood of a deal in the near-term is looking dimmer and him are. david: he said i don't think we are ever going to get a deal, but still want to have tariffs. does president trump want tariffs for tariffs' sake? it is sort of suggested in the tweets that it is a good thing for us. or is he using it to get a deal on important things l

the other was about the president's statements about him, specifically the tweet or tweets like it hewere coming. listen to what mayor pete buttigieg said. >> the tweets are -- i don't care. >> that gets a lot of applause here, but the fact is it's an effective way for him to reach tens of millions of americans. >> it is a way to command the attention of the media. we need to make sure we are changing the channel from this show he's created. >> he came on with a way to take on fox and the president in those subtle ways. >> the mayor is looking for a way to talk about president trump and his antics and tweets without getting into a mud-slinging match with the president. other candidates tried to get into the mud with the president in 2016. we saw some of the republican candidates try and it made them look bad and gave president trump more ammunition against them. a number of democrats are looking for ways to engage with the president. the voters want to see someone who can take the fight to president trump, but not necessarily do it in a way that gets them dinged up with all kinds of n

the president fired off 118 tweets and re-tweets since saturday. this is a breakdown of the most frequent topics, china trade, the senate intelligence committee speen avrks his son don jr. and claims that his campaign was spied on as well as the democrats' investigations. our jim acosta is at the white house. jim, the president even attacked his own fbi director. who prompted his re-tweet that criticized christopher wray? >> that's right, brianna. we're seeing a bumper crop of outrage from the president on twitter, a harvest of outrage from the president on twitter over the last 48 hours. he was just yesterday attacking his own hand-picked fbi director chris wray. we can put this tweet up on screen as he continues to attack the mueller investigation, the same mueller investigation that the president claims cleared him, and here's what the president tweeted about the fbi director. the fbi has no leadership. the director is protecting the same gang that tried to overthroat president through an illegal coup. now the president is quote tweeting there,

on one level, the president is tweeting, tweeting, tweeting, maybe it's going to put pressure on chinaredictability will make them want to make a deal. >> the tweeting is the reason why the markets are perhaps drifting lower but not selling off in a whole sale capacity. what i mean by that is there's no doubt over the course of the past week of trading, the markets are lower than they were, off the record highs, still within striking distance, but the reason you're not seeing a massive thousand point drop in the day for a dow or more because of the impact of tariffs is because all it takes is a tweet, one way or the other from president trump to try to shift a narrative that traders are already into. now, if that is the situation, traders cannot go full bore bearish or bullish on the markets given what's happening in the markets and the unpredictability is the reason why or one of the main reasons why you are not seeing the markets react. i would say this, they are paying close attention to the headlines but president trump has made both positive and negative comments with regard to tr

he tweeted our great farmers can begin doing business with mexico and canada.hey have both taken the tariff penalties off of your great agricultural product. the president thinks there's this pot of a hundred billion dollars and he can reach in and give 15 billion to farmers. it's not going to be as simple as that. immediately ai the president is saying he wants to make farmers whole, farmers who have been hurt by his policies. >> farmers who don't want handouts. >>> a major blow to the chinese tech giant, cnn business is next. >>> christine romans, 20 years, i mean, you make me smile every time i get to bump into you in the makeup room or walking into the building as you are walking out. i can't believe you have been here that long. lucky, lucky us, congratulations, we love you. >> hi and congratulations on 20 amazing years to my favorite cnn mama. i will never forget watching you like 10 1/2 months pregnant at the low boards walking on stage all stylish, giving the award, juggling your job, juggling your two kids at home, and about to have a third and it insp

take a look at my screen here you tweeted this not too long ago one of the best part was talking to this amazing group of 8th graders after the show who had been learning about climate change and the green new deal and class the 2nd best part was learning about them by same size as the how but we will focus on that part usually a 3 to 4 week tour around the u.s. with some rights movement and you were talking to people for whom climate change and the facts are they're having to deal with directly in their day to day lives what was that like what were some of those stories. that's right we launched on april 18th boston massachusetts and we wound our way all across the midwest the weeks the west coast the south and back to d.c. we ended just exactly one week ago and it was one of the most life. experiences of my entire life we met people in iowa which is an incredibly state as we move into the presidential elections in the united states but has been you know inundated by climate fueled floods the pollution that emanates from corporate agriculture has been horrendous for communities the

on saturday night he tweet this.ff some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others. but not me. i have confidence that chairman kim will keep his promise to me and also smiled when he called swampman joe biden a low iq individual and worse. perhaps that's sending me a signal. the president initially spelled biden's name wrong bust corrected it in a follow up tweet. president trump was asked about his attacks on biden. >> does it give you pause at all to be appearing to side with a brutal dictator instead of with a fellow american, the former vice president joe biden? >> well, kim jong-un made a statement that joe biden is a low iq individual. he probably is, based on his record. i think i agree with him on that. i can tell you that joe biden was a disaster, his administration with president obama. they were basically a disaster when it came to so many things, whether it was economy, whether it was military defense, no matter what it was, they had a lot of problems. so i'm not a fan. >> now when asked

the dissemination of a tweet you can see that there was a range of reactions re tweets and online articles about the. trump's tweet or fake news spreads very quickly it's frequently picked up and shared most rapidly by his supporters. the 1st media correction usually appears quite quickly but in this case it took an hour and a half until the 1st journalist it was someone a buzz feed exposed that as a lie. in 2017 donald trump didn't hold a state of the union address as is normally the case for a new the i'm not your rated president trumps 1st state of the union address took place in 2018 and google did link to that on its home page but the rebuttal only got $3003.00 tweets that's 12 times fewer than the read tweets of trump's original claim. that's the general pattern fake news always spreads more than the rebuttals partly because it always has a head start. in the mean time traditional media started to pick up the issue with all its claims and counterclaims 1st in the united states and then worldwide. the maximum amount of attention with a minimum of effort. because of his huge twitter pr

another tweet from the president.erful diamond and silk, two conservative commentators, have been treated so horribly by facebook. they worked so hard. what has been done to them is very sad. it is getting worse for conservatives on social media." tim, diamond and silk are two commentators that are supportive of president trump. you wrote a biography of the president before he became president. i know you have some particular insight into how he thinks. what do you believe is going on in the president's mind at this moment, to the extent anyone can know? tim: a couple of things going on. to the extent the president is arguing for a principle, that the social media platform should be agnostic and not target anyone's speech, and if they do, it amounts to censoring. what we have to remember is he also tweeted he did not think that msnbc, cnn, "the washington post" should not be allowed to publish on twitter. he is not arguing from a position of free speech or freedom of the press. he's defending his advocates and targeti

[ applause ] >> just to add to the conversation, we'll talk a little. here's the president describing, and listen closely, why he loves twitter. >> i've destroyed bills that were going to be voted on that were bad, and i've gotten bills passed that were good by using twitter, and twitter is really a typewriter for me. it's really not twitter. twitter goes on television. they have breaking news. i'll tweet. watch this, boo. i did the golan heights to israel and i put it out on twitter. if i put out a news release, nobody is even going to see it. >> bomb. >> truer words have not been spoken because he does program the debate and the narrative every bit. he changes the subject by twitter. he amplifies his own position there, but i thought mayor buttigieg was actually -- he packe

he did delete —— he deleted the tweet and apologised but the bbc we re tweet and apologised but the bbcs been complicated for everybody following two real areas, should he have done this in the first place and his reaction after it happened. in terms of the original tweet he said there was no racist intent and it didn't cross his mind that it could be interpreted that way when he tweeted that, some have been happy to take that at face value but others have said someone of his experience, a broadcaster and journalist especially as the issue of racism in football has been particularly at the forefront, he really should have realised it without being told and then it is the reaction after. some people have been happy to take it at face value, the fact that he said they were stupid and thinking tweets and then deleting the original, but others have said by adding phrases like a piece of this you must have a diseased mind and saying it was his turn in the barrel hinting he was the victim of a twitter mob and that he was somehow a victim in all this, that should be taken into account as well.

you can see those tweets there.reet journal has reported that beijing is considering cancelling meetings planned for this week. i asked a correspondent whether the us president's tweets are just a part of his negotiating stance. it is the negotiating tactic. he has done it every time ahead of the last few meetings. look, the market is expected to be weaker, clearly, signalling to the volatility during this week. but it is a negotiating tactic. he wanted this deal as much as china. it will be good for business once any negotiation has reached a conclusion. and how much ofan impact reached a conclusion. and how much of an impact with this have on both economies if these tariffs do indeed get put in place on friday, and the rest of us? look, it will be enormous. we have already seen that global growth slowed quite dramatically in the last month, partly due to the china slowdown and partly due to the china slowdown and partly due to this conflict. everything was on hold, a lot of companies have issued profit downgrades

and every once in a while a tweet is brought to my attention. but my experience with the president is we have a good professional working relationship, we talk to each other, if he has something to say to me, i figure he'll tell me directly. i don't look to tweets -- i don't look at them as directives or official communications with the department. >> when you came into this job, i mean, you had a good reputation on the right and the left. you're now someone who is accused of protecting the president and enabling the president, lying to congress. did you expect that coming in. >> in a way i did expect it. i realize we live in a crazy hyperpartisan period of time. i knew that it would only be a matter of time if i was behaving responsibly and calling him as i see him that i would be attacked. people only care about who it helps, who it benefits, whether my side benefits or the other side benefits. everything is gauged by politics. and as i say, that's antithetical to the way the department runs and any attorney general in this period is going to

instead of clearing his tweets with the ic, president trump is tweeting with people's lives here while news. that could have potentially fatal consequences. >> so now iran is saying taif been forced to resume some activities that were banned under the iran nuclear deal the president has removed america from. is a nuclear-armed iran a threat? >> it's more of a threat today than a year ago when president trump withdrew from the nuclear deal. we violated the agreement. now iran is saying they're going to violate some of their commitments, like, for example, they're going to keep material that could be used for a weapon in country. it's not iran that's a nuclear threat. because president trump engaged in diplomacy with north korea, without requiring a trefreeze o their nuclear program, they probably have more nuclear weapons today than a year ago. at the same time, president trump has withdrawn from arms control agreements with russia which means they can probably produce and pre-position previously banned weapons more readily than before. china is continuing to modernize their nuclear for

he tweeted a racially offensive tweets toa tweeted a racially offensive tweets to a lot of people. general public. a study by the university of cambridge suggests that it's far more common than previously thought, and that more than half of those surveyed said they didn't have enough time to process incidents before being sent back out on the next call. researchers analysed responses from nearly 17,000 serving officers and operational staff. it showed that about 90% of police staff have suffered suffered trauma on the job. with one in five experiencing some form of ptsd symptoms. it involves reliving distressing events through nightmares and flashbacks, as well as intense states of hypervigilance. however, less than a third of those who showed any of these signs of the disorder were aware of it. let's speak now to antony colton, he retired from the police force last week as a result of his ptsd, and to toni white, she has ptsd and now works with the police on mental health training. thank you for talking to us. anthony, you retired last week. how do you feel about being forced into

julian, i just read everything that congressman amash tweeted. what he did not write was that president trump should be impeached. he lays out what the responsibility and role of congress is but did not write that congress should begin impeachment proceedings. the significance of stopping short of that, from your perspective, and does he now have to make that clear? >> that is the most significant point and in some ways he sounds like the democrats who have been saying the president engaged in impeachable behavior but, at the same time we are saying we are not moving forward with impeachment proceedings and amash's tweet which is very pointed, it's very direct but it stops short of calling for the process. so unless anyone calls for the process, this is a lot of rhetoric, it could be damaging to the the president politically but we are not moving closer toward impeachment proceedings. >> sirrage, you mentioned 2020 and chair of the rnc tweeted out in response that amash's conclusions are being fixated on russian collusion or anybody tweeting this

no i didn't say that in that tweet... no you didn't.... no, it's not! you said people are gaming the system. for sporting advantage. ‘x: all you need to do is reduce your testosterone level to either five if it's the iaaf recommendations, or ten if it is the ioc guidelines. at the moment, all of the associations are kind of finding their way. some of them like the american powerlifting association said no, we're not going to do this. we're going to ring fence female athletes. we're going to go xx born athletes are going to be protected, and we're going to say no, this is not going to happen. and that's where i'm coming from. and you like that because it seems to me, underpinning your grave concerns about what is happening with these transgender athletes, is a belief that they are gaming the system, that they are... that they could potentially game the system. you seem to be... let me quote your tweet which caused an awful lot of controversy. you tweeted out recently: "to protect women's sport those with a male sex advantage should not b

he tweeted about bernie sanders.be there's a bernie problem here, too. >> or at least a challenge. >> here's my problem with the whole thing. i love all of this the way i love sports. if the basketball or hockey playoff lasts 1 1/2 years, i'd move to my underground bunker. i don't have one yet but i'd invest many one. i think if we shorten the cycle -- it's great for us to have a long cycle. we can talk about politics, the horse race, the personalities and geography and all of the elements. at this point, i'm sure hillary clinton was beating donald trump by 3,000 points at least. probably in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, she's probably ahead by double digits. >> she was. >> and we've kind of gone from aoc to aos, barack obama. does that help? to see him embrace obama like that? >> i think it's a real problem for democrats to fight the last war. that's what they're doing by nominating joe biden. if they're going to fight the last war, what they'll do is going to be a hillary clinton-type of campaign and they'r

>> the tweets are -- i don't care.e need to make sure that we're changing the channel for this show that he's created because it matters. it's mesmerizing. it is hard for anybody to look away t. is the nature of grotesque things that you can't look away. >> if you want to make a splash in a crowded field of democrats, maybe a nationally televised town hall on the president's favorite network could help your cause. take it from mayor pete buttigieg who was very well received by the audience. certainly, it got the attention of president trump who tweeted that fox was wasting air time on mayor pete. i want to get the inside scoop from msnbc contributor. monica alba, nbc news political reporter in pennsylvania. nbc news national political reporter. jeremy, mayor pete got a standing o last night on fox news. then he was taking heat from some progressives for even appearing on the network. as you know elizabeth warren put out a whole series of reasons why she refused to go on the network. i wonder is this a lost opportunity

this tweet.graph of a couple and, we are not showing the full image, but between them was a chimpanzee dressed in a coat and a bowler hat and a reference to the royal baby. we take all those arguments on board... danny baker says it was a mistake, he deleted the tweet and it wasn't a comment on the duchess of sussex‘s african—american heritage. but many feel it was unforgivable. among them, a fellow presenter on a five live podcast. when i saw it, i was shocked, genuinely shocked, disgusted. how someone thought that was acceptable is beyond me. we are going through a day and age at the minute in 2019 when unfortunately footballers are dealing with banana skins and bananas being thrown on the pitches. both my brothers played football and they had to deal with a lot of fans making monkey noises at them and that was not that long ago. but still it's happening in 2019. and then for a picture like that to come out from somebody who has quite a lot of status, it wasjust beyond me, i was genuinely upset

here is the initial tweet from last night.red off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others, but not me. have i confidence that chairman kim will keep his promise to me and also smiled when he called swampman joe biden a low iq individual and worse. perhaps that's sending me a signal?" trump later corrected his misspelling of biden in that tweet. i want to bring in congressman lew correia. congressman, your first reaction to this tweet by the president. >> congressman correia, orange county, california. well, we're used to the president essentially putting together public policy, foreign policy by tweets, but i think the president, i wish him the best of luck. i hope he is better than w. bush and president obama in terms of creating a nuclear-free north korea. let's hope he's successful. >> president trump and his allies say president trump's relationship with kim is a good thing. this president has been able to engage with kim in a way previous presidents have been unable to. do you these that's what thi

it's like how should investors process all of this, living tweet to tweet >> well, we have a few anecdotesreflect on. we know the treasury secretary said he left beijing feeling optimistic but that the team was given new information over the weekend that dramatically changed course on behalf of china. "wall street journal" reporting that china looked at some of the president's tweets about the federal reserve and his suggestion that the fed should pump stimulus into the economy as perhaps a sign that china had more leverage. the u.s. economy was weaker than his administration was letting on perhaps they overplayed their hand are there but it's unclear where things stand right now. the vice premier said he came to the u.s. under pressure. his credibility i'm told by sources was damaged going into talks today. and at this point he might only be able to actually negotiate with the seven top members of the communist party in china actually agree upon. and that's going to be not the type of concessions that the administration is looking for here >> okay, kayla, great stuff. thank you very much

tray with this tweet -- host: send us your tweet at [video clip] .- send us your tweet, @cspanwj jerrynew jersey, good morning. caller: good morning, everybody. i do not believe we should raise the gas tax. i live in new jersey, one of the highest taxed states in the country, ridiculous. you know, we had tolls put in because we were told that would help. and then the lottery was supposed to help. that was going to raise all kinds of money to help. where is the money going? i don't get it. i don't think that you can put more money in the hands of these politicians. it's going to get lost. you've got bob cassio's wife in new york, they don't know where the money went. the government loses money and they just keep replenishing it and losing it. you talk about obama bus infrastructure, it's true. all the money that he had, name one thing that it went to. you would emphasize that, i would appreciate it. as far as c-span being here, can you please, "new york times," "washington post," very negative. are there any positive articles? and if there isn't, it just goes to show you how biased they

the president tweeting out he would raise tariffs on china in a pair of tweets.his morning, he sent out -- this is the tweet he sent yesterday, for 10 months china ,as been paying tariffs of 25% 10% on $200 billion. these payments are partially responsible for our great economic response -- result. it will go up to 25% and this will be on $325 billion in chinese goods that have not yet been taxed. the president tweeting out the united states has been losing for many years, with china, we lose $500 billion. we are not going to be doing that anymore. chuck schumer to the president's stance on china. he tweeted out, hang tough on china. don't back down, strength is the only way to win with china. the markets open up this morning across the globe and they were down. reuters with this tweet, china stocks fall most in over three years on tariff threats and the chinese currency tumbles. that is a story developing this morning. host: the society of civil engineers in 2017 looked at the commonwealth of pennsylvania and overall, when it came to infrastructure, looking at a
