>> stuck on uaw. uaw leadership might have gone with kamala harris, member it is not.we're seeing is why members went with donald trump. stuart: thank you, charlie. the white house said that president trump spoke with mexico's claudia sheinbaum and trump said mexico will not be required to pay tariffs on anything that falls under the usmca rules. he also said this agreement is until april 2. that's why the market is coming back a bit. coming up, unregulated electric bike batteries have deadly and disruptive fires nationwide. one city in new jersey taking action against the bikes. we have the full story for you. motorcycle enthusiasts from around the globe are descending on florida for one of the largest motorcycle events. it's the 84th anniversary of this event. it's a big one. look at this. there he is. webster is there and he's wearing his riders. we'll be back with the rocker. ♪ (woman 1) eczema... isn't always obvious.

uaw.e down the food and drug administration , it is going to be the congress of the united states, not donald trump. elon musk. not doge. we created these institutions and we fund these institutions and an appropriations act as an act of congress. it is a federal law like the law you cannot assault federal officers. that is what an appropriations act is. it is not a budgetary recommendation if we put the money into nih you spend the money on nih.

and the uaw, they're not republicans, they're not conservatives.there's no way they would release a statement if they didn't believe it was in the best interest of working class people in this country. >> look, all i can say is i don't know how where things are going to end up six months from now. i mean, trying to predict things in this political era, you know, is like trying to predict whether or not, you know, the new york jets will find another quarterback who's over the age of 95. >> still bitter. >> but but i do know this. i do know how poorly the tariffs are polling. you know, what are we talking about? 64%. nearly two thirds of the country oppose the tariffs against canada. what are we talking about? 3/5 of the country that opposed the tariffs against mexico. there are plenty of things that donald trump does that are popular. this is not one of them. >> all right. let's move on to something else that has caused ruffled feathers. it looks like elon musk is in a bit of damage control. he is going behind the scenes. we have some reporting that

the uaw called tariffs one of the most powerful tools in the toolbox. there limits on that, though? if the ceos of these companies as what happened with with stellantis and ford and general motors can call up the white house and get an exemption, does that bother you at all? >> well, i mean, you know, i think look, that's it's a rational thing to ask, you know, for, you know, to give them some time. but there's got to be a limit to that time. we can't just have some open ended thing where we just, you know, let it keep rolling on. and i think that's what the administration is doing. yeah. have you talked to there are some decisions happening right now. i'm sorry. >> have you talked to president trump about any of this? >> no, not in person, no. but you know, like i said, we've been, you know, our our teams have been communicating with with the administration and having a lot of, you know, discussions about, you know, how these decisions over the years have impacted workers and what we would like to see change and, and what needs to be addressed. and we'

that's one and the other is the uaw is supporting the tariffs and auto ceos are not real happy aboutey say tariffs are a powerful tool in the tool box for undoing injustice of anti-worker trade deals and glad to see a american president take agryphys action on ending free trade disaster that's a bomb on the auto class. a lot of auto part cspan go back and forth across boarders multiple types and so many analysts are predicting some pickup truck prices jump $9, $10,000 because of issue with the tariffs. >> todd: that's a lot. that is a big nugget. >> it is. >> carley: and president trump said that there's going to be short term pain last night but anghon. another one is toys. this is a grim reality of tariffs and the reality is here. >> todd: all right, piro children, play with the toys that you already have and by that, i mean the entire room full that you don't play with. deal with it, kids. cheryl casone, thank you. >> we're a country of doers, dreamers, fighters and survivors and through it all we're going to re-discover the unstoppable power of the american spirit. and we are goi

yourself why this is going on, the reason this is going on is that gm is -- works very closely with the uawin the midwest, and it, therefore, tries very hard to balance that out with very cheap labor from if mexico and china. so if you step back and looked at companies like toyota and honda, they developed the japanese if production system which keeps all your suppliers close are by and also a try and and build your brand value locally. charles: right. >> of course, gm and ford have huge brand value, but toyota and honda, they've got economical production facilities, so i think they're going to the actually benefit from these tariffs. charles: i want to urge people the to look at this paper you wrote, you got an award for it, the u.s. economists, this is amazing. decoupling from china. you wrote it in 2019. if people google that, i think they'll be really interested in how you laid out how we can actually do very well with a permanent tariff against chi a that. jeff, thank you very much. appreciate it. >>> my next guest not necessarily a fan of tariff, rbc chief economist francis donald. gr

so look, i think the uaw has has long been concerned about currency manipulation. i remember when i was working in congress supporting some of their stuff and working with them because there was currency manipulation happening for a long time from competitors in asia and other places. on the other hand, what is an american car? these cars go back and forth between the u.s. and canada, and the manufacturing process, and trying to stick. a tariff on it every time a part crosses the border is going to be a total disaster. >> i will cadillac spaghetti and rainbows sounds pretty good though. >> erin. >> i will say the trump fantasyland does sound appealing, right? that's why he's brought in. and then every time he fails to deliver, he blames it on someone else. he said he was going to lower egg prices. day one hasn't happened yet. now he's in the white house blaming biden. >> the chickens have a say. that's what we've learned. aaron klein, thank you so much. uh, boris. >> we are seeing some strong reactions to president trump's joint address to congress last night, incl

. >> the uaw praised these tariffs yesterday. right. they have fought to keep auto jobs in the u.s. they say tariffs help undo some of the things that damaged auto workers from these trade deals that they feel certainly were not fair. do they have a point? >> they have a really interesting point. however, a lot of these cars are made because of the usmca, the new new nafta that was passed during the first trump administration. these cars are actually made in all three countries. some parts are made in mexico, some parts are made in canada, and some parts are made in the u.s. so it's it's not like you can just say, okay, we're going to put a plant in indiana or ohio and make the whole car there. that's not how it works. it would take years for that to happen. that is what trump wants, though. he wants companies to invest billions of dollars in these plants. but to the point that some of these companies are making is, look, our german competitors don't face these tariffs because they don't make cars in canada and mexico. so we're at a big disadvantage. so if you're thinking like a car

because i feel like it was just a few months ago that the uaw was not into trump policies.i misreading it? >> no, i don't think so. i think there is some division there. the question here, though, is between short term and long term. the point of the tariffs, if there is one in the administration, is to bring manufacturing back to the united states instead of building cars half in mexico, half in canada. et cetera. et cetera. the problem is that is a long term project. there's going to be a lot of short term pain. and when you hear the commerce secretary, for example, talk about prices and inflation, it does remind me a little bit of the early years of the biden administration, when they were telling everybody that inflation was transitory, even when everyone was feeling. yeah, right. and everyone was feeling the prices going up. >> yeah. >> and when a government tells people something that they're seeing with their own eyes is not happening, that's a problem. >> yeah. >> yeah. i mean, they're actually telling people just to accept the pain. right. that there's going to be

a uaw released a statement yesterday saying, hey, this is a good thing in terms of trying to bring manufacturing back to the united states. that will boost the middle class, which has continued to shrink decade after decade. and so i want to give the president a little more time here, john, to figure out what the ultimate strategic aims are with tariffs as a maneuvering tool. >> maria, it's got to be a super quick last word, like 15 seconds or less. >> sure. so democrats understand that donald trump won because of what he promised voters on the economy. and that's why last night's speech was so insidious, because it had zero solutions on that. and and my dear friend shermichael talked about the young man who was suffering from childhood cancer, but yet who is cutting cancer research, talked about farmers, who is cutting grants that go to farmers, talked about law enforcement, who pardoned cop killers. so that is the problem with donald trump's speech last night. it was incredibly hypocritical. and it doesn't focus on the one issue that voters were counting on him for, and that is bringing down c

those union workers, the uaw workers in those union halls, are really happy to see somebody fighting for them, trying to bring those jobs back home. we need to bring them home. and we not only need to bring car and steel production and supply chains home, how about bringing pharmaceutical manufacturing back, where 80 to 90% of our medicines are made offshore in china and india? that's not only an economic security issue, that's a national security issue. >> i want to quickly ask you what happened tuesday night. there are a lot of reports over the last two days that some democrats are unhappy with what other democrats did on the house floor during the president's speech. punchbowl is just one of the places reporting this morning. multiple house democrats complained to us that their leadership isn't providing sufficient guidance on key issues. this situation reared its head on tuesday, when moderate democrats were surprised and dismayed at the tone and scale of their colleagues protests. what did you think of what happened? >> so look, i'm not going to lie. i don't think anybody looked

. >> uaw did not criticize tariffs yesterday. well, they they they they don't mind this at all. >> no, they're a winner. >> yeah. by the way jim. >> they're big winners. >> the broader the broader scope. is this piece in the journal today. stagflation has entered the chat. adp today our data suggests a hiring hesitancy among employers. right. that's the that's the bigger picture. >> well look the president did say listen the tax cuts are coming. and don't worry about it. i don't think this is permanent, but i, i look when i hear the bullishness, i just say those people went to bed early and i appreciate that. they may have had to get an early start in the day. but the president that i heard last night is that he's sherman's march to the sea. this guy, i mean, he's just going to get it done. and anyone in his way is going to lose. and right now, it's about bringing jobs back. and the pain that gm and ford are going to suffer. >> we haven't even seen we should point out april 2nd really could be a very consequential day, because th

annmarie: i am sure that uaw is first on the list wanted to talk to the chief of staff. moving to indiana is a great start. they think this is necessary pain to get more jobs in the united states in the future. how long can that last? john: i think you can see a rebalancing, reshore of some production especially at the assembly level into the u.s. the real question is what is the endgame? to stop illegal immigration and drugs, bring jobs back to the u.s., or is it to garner more support for political theater? difficult to understand where they are going with this. if they would explicitly say, if we bring more jobs back to the u.s., more manufacturing, that is our endgame, companies would know how to proceed. i think we are seeing some reshore in a production to the u.s. and north america, but once again, shutting of canada and mexico is difficult to do because it is a contiguous supply chain that's been set up for decades to be very efficient. there are lots of parts and mexico that you cannot get americans to make cost-effectively. it would be a higher cost, higher tha

the uaw leadership understands that the way it's being done isn't the best way.usmca be renegotiated. they want to see him address those issues. supplier issues are complicated. people have no idea how many times a part goes back and forth across the border. so i want to work with this administration on trade. i told you donald trump won on trade in 2016, but you got to do it in a strategic way. and canada is mad. they are coming back at us. i have talked to many of the canadians, could have talked to governor ford today. they are striking back not only at the national level, but at a state level going back and forth. these are serious right now. congresswoman, you make. >> the point about. >> the impact of tariffs. >> and certainly. michigan is going to be an. >> epicenter for that. your colleague haley. >> stevens was. >> on. >> with. me this morning talking about. >> that, too. i think for people at home who might be hearing you saying it's the most tense you've ever seen it in the chamber, they may wonder, okay, who cares? we don't need these members to be fr
