yao, the real mr. yao is very much like that. think to me, it represents sort of this obstacle where you see the american dream, it's right there, but you just can't reach it. and that's what mr. yao represents to me. and it's very much like the swimming pool in the motel, it's right there, but mr. yao bans mia from going swimming because he thinks she's going to waste too many towels every time she swims. so, it's like right there, and you can see it every day, but you just can't touch it. robert: yeah. how was it for you as an author to be able to put that story in a book and for people to actually read it and get your messages? kelly: yeah, it was terrifying to put so much emotional truth and pain in a story, but also try to, you know, balance it and make it funny because it's for kids and we want the kids to turn the page. but what's been so rewarding is seeing the kids, you know, love the story, fall in love with it. some of the kids--some kids have written to me saying that they've read the book like ten times. it's really

for example, the idea that christopher steele was not the source for that september 2016 yao news article- yahoo! news article. initially had the footnote saying saying they didn't think he was a source, but by the extension, steele publicly admitted he was a source. so it was a really problematic thing. and i have questions rosenstein in public about this, how can you be the guy on the front lines of fisa abuse and this stuff when you signed one of those applications that we're concerned about? lou: and everyone is concerned about it. we see the introduction now of a resolution to hold rosenstein in contempt of congress. what are the odds? >> well, look, lou, i think if you put it on the floor of the house, i think republicans would vote for it. the question is, will that make its way there so we have a chance to go on record. but i think we've got to do it this week, because congress is going to go on a recess until sometime in mid september, and they're not going to have a lot of time then, because people are going to worry about getting out of here for the election. we should have don

as that ever occurred to the mead yao?tucker: i'm not sure what carter page is saying some of the time but clearly not betr betraying his country, an annapolis graduate, to spy on him with no evidence is shameful behavior. will there be a point, i don't ask you to prognosticate, where the left wakes up and says we're abetting something that's really dark and wrong. we shouldn't do this. we should return to civil liberties. >> no. they're not investigating a crime, and the left is not looking for a crime. what they're looking for is the skal many of donald trump, they aren't looking for a crime. there is no crime. tucker, that solomon piece today in "the hill" is devastating. at one point it says, they went after carter pain, the fbi read the media reports, they used the media reports carter page complained about as an excuse to interview carter page. that's in the report today. i mean, is this a third world country? >> tucker: sure seems like it. it's not about trump, it's about america. dan bongino, thank you. democratic

>> well, i don't know the answer to that, wolf, but, yao ming, i can tell you that our intelligence people would certainly want to know what the president of the united states said to the president of russia behind closed doors. there's not much question in my mind that the russians would have a recording of that meeting, they had plenty of time to wire that room, the fins probably could have wired it. we don't know exactly whether or not our intelligence people wired that room as well. but the problem here is that there should not be any necessity to do that because the president should have sat down with the russian leader, with his secretary of state, with his national security advisor, with his key advisors, so that they would know exactly what the president was saying. this is a situation that raises, i believe tremendous concern about this relationship between the united states and russia. if two leaders go behind closed doors, have a meeting, and then we, the american people have absolutely no idea what was discussed, in my mind, that under mines the trust that is absolutely essenti

directing that defendant be transfor theed from northern neck regional jail to be housed at the axdry yao detention center pending trial. so the president's campaign center will now be apparently moved to a jail in alexandria, virginia, to wait his trial whether he likes it or not. wonder if he'll be able to surreptitiously be able to send e-mails from that lockup, too. something has made paul manafort suddenly want a long time before his trial starts. he wants many more months to prepare for his trial. but whatever it is, it doesn't actually appear to be the location of his jail, which is what he had started off complaining about. he will now apparently be transferred with or without his laptop extension cord and i don't know whether or not the white house is worried about what tales paul manafort might tell or not, but it's clear with this wrangling over the conditions of his confinement that prosecutor's vice grip on him just continues to get tighter and tighter and tighter every day.

. >> it was extraordinary to see during the nato summit, there were reports coming out of rush yao that russian guests on russian state television were saying, i never thought in my lifetime i would see an american president doing what the russians have tried to do since 1949. >> they're thankful. >> which is collapse nato and the western alliance. president trump the leader of the western world standing up for western values and the western alliance. meantime, of course, and this whole meeting has been given this terminology summit which raises it perhaps beyond in fact what it's going to be. it is a meeting for a couple hours. there is no fixed agenda. usually in summits there are clear fixed agendas. how will it be viewed in russia? putin comes to this with his global isolation really sort of now fraying away because he's just come off sam kylie is joining us from moscow, a brilliant globally watched world cup that will everybody says went phenomenally well and has done so much to rehabilitate not just putin but russia itself. sam? >> reporter: yes, christiane. i was among those hose

that we don't in this house and in this congress continue to force them and all of our men and women yao n uniform to pay the price for our dysfunction. that's a price that comes with fund degree lays and uncertainty. so therefore, mr. speaker, i urge the adoption of this resolution and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady has yielded back the balance of her time. the question is will the house suspend the rules and agree to house resolution 109. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the resolution is agreed to and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from wyoming seek recognition? ms. cheney: i move to suspend he rules and agree to h.res. 1010. the -- the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 1010, resolution expressing the sense of the house of representatives that united states air force face significant readiness challenges due to

. >> i thought for awhile it would be hard to be selling off stocks yao goi you're going to see numberstter expectations. but you are still concerned about the trade talk out there >> i think the market's underestimated that. we've seen the equity markets do very well. it's almost discounted the risk at this point in time. what we've seen is any time we didn't think we'd get an escalation, we've seen an escalation i think that was sooner than the market expected. and also the market didn't expect an investigation. there's not a lot of concern right now about the auto tariffs. so to me it's not so much that's the base case you're going to get it. >> but if you start thinking about the long list of worries you can have at any point, it's still tough to turn your eye off a strong economy and companies performing very well and they have a good tax backdrop do you get nervous telling people to drop out of this >> we know summer is a lighter trading season you're going to get the extra tariffs on china it creates an environment where there's higher volatility. but there's no denying that. >>

is it slightly different where yao got an ally, less big trading partner. >> the chinese are sniffingn they don't know what they're supposed to offer whether it will be accepted and if it is whether it will be held to that said, you've got -- the way to look at this is you've got a trade war on two different trajectories one is with china and one is with autos and china is going ahead full steam. i think you're about to see the next set of this with autos. >> you this autos are going? >> i think so. the announcement of auto tariffs as earliy as next month. the president would like to see this as a battering ram to get what he wants. >> how much of the autos is a negotiating ploy for china >> i think it's based on canada andknocking them into nafta too. and getting the eu tariffs down. the president has picked a battle with everybody right now. and auto tariffs are not irrelevant to them, but that's a separate trajectory. at the same time the auto tariffs will be launched into and the president will be saying we're going to go all the way. the is is a political winner for me going to t
