so-called 301 we've got the latest on those Chinese talks with top White House
trade adviser Peter Navarro tonight and Gordon Chang is here to talk about the
showdown with North Korea and China also the Trump agenda building up ahead of
the midterm elections president Trump touting a new string of a legislative
victories you won't hear about in the left-wing national media that could be
driving the Republican resurgence in recent polls and the Dean and Rollins
weighs in on the Trump election year accomplishments and what we can expect
as a result even as a record number of Republicans are resigning from the house
our top story tonight President Trump turning up the heat on China putting
pressure on Beijing to address the massive trade imbalance that it is
enjoyed with the United States for decades this coming within weeks of well
the position of tariffs if the Chinese don't act and the administration today
said that by June 15th it will finalize tariffs on fifty billion dollars of
imports from China the penalties on early 1300 product categories from
medical equipment to machinery could go as high as twenty five percent and by
the end of next month the United States would also impose historic restrictions
on Chinese investment in this country to combat rampant intellectual property
theft that cost the United States as much as sick
hundred billion dollars a year all of this unless the United States and China
can reach a trade deal within two and a half weeks
our first guest tonight continues to fight against China's unfair trade
practices as well as the global is working to subvert the president's
America for his trade policies joining us tonight is Peter Navarro top trade
adviser to the president director of the White House national trade council Peter
good to have you with us who is my friend how are you today well I'm great
and I know you're doing well the imposition of three oh ones I mean this
administration has already done more with the three oh ones and the previous
administration contemplated throughout its two terms in office it's yeah it'll
make me clear about a couple of things here Lou first of all will insist upon
it Peter will insist upon it this president is tough in their
toughest nails on trade and national security in this 301 investigation by
ambassador Robert light hyzer really combines those two things well here's
what we know from his investigation ordered by the president China not only
steals our intellectual property through economic espionage and cyber theft it
also forces the transfer of that technology from American companies on
Chinese soil trying to get access to the market it acquires our companies here in
Silicon Valley and elsewhere from by state-owned enterprises and they also
evade our export control laws they've been silent promises Peter we've been
following them I made in my mind and here's the it is being it is being
adjudicated before the World Trade Organization we're following the cases
and we understand that this audience here is the the reports on that on how
that is progressing and let's understand why these tariffs No let's understand
this I'm going to answer the questions here Peter i will seek answers from
before because i feel somehow irrelevant if you ask both the questions and
provide answers it seemingly III want to Iran Lou go ahead let's start with fifty
billion dollars all right you're talking about a trade relationship that is over
600 billion in the trade relationship between the
two countries these are peanuts and let's be very clear about that this is
peanuts so what will be the impact of these 301 KS if we get to June 15th and
there's no deal so the purpose of the 301 investigation basically is to stop
China from stealing the crown jewels of our technology and the perfect president
a city long for the purpose of the tariffs they're targeted at the
so-called China 2025 industries the artificial intelligence robotics
blockchain technology things like that and the purpose of the tariffs is to
defend our industries here in America that engage in research development
production of those entities as you know Lu China has a predatory model basically
where they come in and they attack our industry solar steel they try to steal
them from us so the purpose of the tariffs they're very targeted and it's
very important the purchasing investment restrictions are to prevent China from
then buying those companies which we nurture here so this 301 investigation
like a laser beam focuses solely on technology it is not a bargaining chip
let me make this clear Lu would it whatever deal what might be made this is
not a bargaining chip these tariffs will be put in place to protect and defend
our technologies as will the investment restrictions we have a whole nother
problem with the 500 billion dollars worth of trade exports the China sends
to us that's where the deal-making needs to be done but these are not trading
this is not bargaining chips Lou this will happen on June 15th for the tariffs
and June 30th for the investment restriction so let's be clear about that
the president is strong and tough and resolute on that he promised this during
the campaign Lou and there's a straight line between here the 301 investigation
which he ordered the results of that 301 investigation the decision he made today
to impose those tariffs and investment restrictions mm-hmm and the ZTE
accommodation to President Xi Alou I want to be clear two things about this
one you want you to be clear we're going to have a wonderful evening
because you're being so clear you remind us each time yes yes
ZTE number one is a law enforcement issue not my lane number two national
security issue indeed indeed it is and Secretary of minuchin and Wilbur Ross
are the ones to talk about with on that issue it is a law enforcement issue and
that's not something I can talk about because of that okay well so you don't
you think that the sanctions should be handled as simply a national security
issue rather than a response and trade the president is obviously reacted as if
it were a trade issue because he's making a personal exemption for ZTE
despite seven years of violating US sanctions with North Korea and with Iran
I I fully understand that Laura but I'm under directions and I'm a good foot
soldier here it's a law enforcement issue its Wilbur Ross and Steve told you
it was a law enforcement officer oh it is I mean that the national security
well how do you start and how you start separating national security from
international trade particularly with the communist country that is right now
being very provocative when we carry out freedom of navigation missions are you
the u.s. Navy does in the South China Sea this is this is becoming a rather
brittle matter isn't it yeah well certainly the freedom of navigation
issue is front and center China is building these large islands artificial
islands that they stole and seized no countries to begin with yes and then the
US Navy is very worried about that the Philippines and all Vietnam they're all
very concerned about and this is what China's doing in the South China Sea so
when you make the distinction with law enforcement I find that curious because
as a man who is written about trade with China and who understands clearly the
national security implications I would think he would be somewhat more
vociferous about how important that I don't want to trade relationship I don't
mind you pressing on this Lou and if I weren't part of the administration
in under orders that this is a law enforcement issue I would be free to
express my views on this but as I say Lou this is a law enforcement issue it's
being dealt with by the Justice Department the Department of Commerce in
a district court and that's all I can say again Wilbur Ross and Steve minuchin
would be the ones that that are the commenters on this they're the ones that
have gone up to Capitol Hill to talk about this and so those would be the
guys they've also gone to Beijing and come back with a really quite an
interesting but checkered result we're sitting here talking about 301's
in the administration's decision to to impose a punishment even as it's being
adjudicated before the World Trade Organization which some would consider
to be a further ambiguity given that the this administration has not been
particularly supportive of the idea of turning over sovereignty to the WTO well
there's only there's only one issue that the 301 is involved in with the WTO and
it's a very interesting one what China does is part of their coercion and
aggression is they force companies American companies the license the worst
transfer of technology its licensing it's it's if say Qualcomm has a chip
that that a said I want to do you know what I understand that you want to run
up the time but I just want you down but you've already succeeded and when I
appreciate your efforts and record to talking with you that what you do buddy
I you take care of yourself Peter Navarro up next president Trump
says Robert Muller's 13 angry Democrats are plotting to subvert our midterm
elections we take that up with Judicial Watch is Chris Farrell right after this
stay with us we're coming right back
she calls it like she sees it from

'Don't toast marshmallows on Hawaii volcano' says US government
Kilauea in the US state of Hawaii is one of the worlds most active volcanoes and recently as captured the worlds attention.
The US Geological Survey has responded to a social media query on whether it is safe to roast marshmallows over a volcanic vent. The answer is no.
Kilauea in the US state of Hawaii is one of the worlds most active volcanoes and it has been very active in recent weeks.
With its red-hot rivers of lava have destroyed dozens of homes on Hawaiis Big Island, with 2,000 people being told to leave their properties.
Jay Furr from Richmond, Vermont asked the US government department whether it would be safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents using a long stick. https://ichef. bbci. uk/news/485/socialembed/https://twitter. com/jayfurr/status/1001280299710472192~/news/world-us-canada-44294418.
The US Geological Surveys Volcanoes Twitter account, which posts official updates and information on volcanoes in the US, responded to Mr Furrs query, saying that such an experiment would lead to a bad taste and a pretty spectacular reaction.
They said it would not be safe and advised people to not try to do so. Last week, people in Hawaii were warned about toxic fumes produced when molten rock flows into the ocean.
https://ichef. bbci. uk/news/485/socialembed/https://twitter. com/USGSVolcanoes/status/1001281586476867584~/news/world-us-canada-44294418. Kilauea is an extremely active volcano and its present eruption began 35 years ago,.
A growth of volcanic activity in recent weeks has meant that it has quite literally been erupting in peoples backyards. Only one serious injury has been reported, after a man was hit by projectile molten rock as he sat on his balcony.

Top officials of N. Korea, U.S. to meet soon in New York - Duration: 2:24.
Summit diplomacy seems to be heating up... as North Korea's former intel chief is in
New York City for talks with the U.S. Secretary of State.
The visit comes... as multiple meetings are taking place in different locations to set
the agenda for the summit and the regime's denuclearization.
Oh Jung-hee has our top story.
The right-hand men of Kim Jong-un and President Trump will be meeting soon in New York.
North Korea's Kim Yong-chol -- the regime's former spy chief and the current director
of its department for inter-Korean relations -- was spotted taking a flight bound for New
York on Tuesday afternoon in Beijing.
Trump confirmed on Twitter that Kim is coming.
And Washington's State Department says...
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will head over to New York on Wednesday to meet him.
"The Secretary will be heading up to New York tomorrow and I believe returning sometime
on Thursday."
Kim and Pompeo's talking points have not been specified.
But it's widely believed that their meeting is for the final coordination of the agenda
for the Pyongyang-Washington summit -- how North Korea will denuclearize... and how the
U.S. will guarantee the Kim Jong-un regime's security.
This... as an extension of the North Korea-U.S. working-level talks that took place twice
this week at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom.
The delegations at Panmunjom -- led respectively by Washington's former negotiator on North
Korea, Sung Kim, and Pyongyang's Vice Foreign Minister, Choe Son-hui -- met on Sunday and
Wednesday.
"Well, this will be the Secretary's third meeting with Kim Yong-chol.
They've had, obviously, very deep conversations where they've talked about a lot of detail
about what the United States' expectations are."
"If Kim Yong-chol and Mike Pompeo settleD on a basic draft of their agreement and President
Trump accepts it, then that will lead to a confirmation that the summit will take place
for sure.
The fact that Kim Yong-chol is visiting the U.S. -- that in itself means that coordination
between the two is almost over,... with only a few factors left to be resolved."
Kim Yong-chol is the first high-level North Korean official to step foot on U.S. soil
in 18 years.
Attention is on whether he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump... and deliver
a letter from Kim Jong-un -- much like when Pompeo twice met with the North Korean leader
in Pyongyang.

Trish Regan: Top North Korean official on his way to US discuss TRUM-KIM SUMMIT - Duration: 13:09.
we've got it down it's off pretty significantly here 425 points as
investors react to a deepening political crisis in Europe this global sell-off
really being fueled by the prospect of fresh elections in Italy another
election that could turn into a referendum on the entire European Union
and there's a lot of talk about whether or not a European debt crisis is back
I'm Josh Reagan welcome everyone to the intelligence reports
I know as we watch this cell if you see the financial stocks are really leading
the market lower right now this political turmoil in Europe causing kind
of a panic shall we say on Wall Street will Italy actually leave the Euro we
have our all-star panel here to break it down also what is this tell you about
global ISM all around the world I mean it's actually quite similar what you're
seeing in some parts of Europe along with what you see right here in the
United States of America we're on it plus the top North Korean official is on
his way right now to the United States to discuss terms of
the on-again off-again summit is a continent is it not between President
Trump and Kim Jong GaN will this actually go forward we've got new
developments straight ahead lots as we said ABC is canceling
Roseanne following a very controversial Twitter rant from the star of the show
Roseanne Barr we've got some Intel for you but first let's get back to these
markets off 434 and one of their mobility issues falling it all live on
the floor the New York Stock Exchange and oh my goodness it kind of feels like
a deja vu we went through this a few years back Nepal and it all sort of
surfaced right around a similar time and what do you know all summer we talked
about the threat of the EU breaking up in the European debt crisis and now it's
back to haunt us again right that's exactly right and what we're seeing now
is the political turmoil and uncertainty and Colin somewhat of a crisis in Italy
and with that we're seeing markets selling off really there is concern
around the globe about what will happen here there they had an
anti-establishment party they were trying to put together was blocked by
the president by the Prime Minister and with that they were not able to do it
but the question is whether or not there will be votes going forward and as you
noted whether or not they will choose they're really against the the euro and
the eurozone all together so we'll see what comes of that in the meantime the
euro is dropping our stocks here at home you can see the Dow down 432 points it's
moved back into the negative for the year 2018 and we're seeing financials
selling off with that concerns about what's going on in Italy it's
across the board here's a look at our banks you noted that the financials are
among the biggest loggers and look at Goldman Sachs analyst 4% just like JP
Morgan down about four and a half percent
Wells Fargo three and a half percent Morgan Stanley five and a half percent
so the financials in particular getting hit hard as the ten-year bond yield
which recently hit highs has now turned to the other way and now a two point
eight one percent so concerns and also Moody's had already been looking at
Italy for a possible downgrade they have a lot of debt they have a very big
economy and so now we have to see what happens going forward but this reminds
us of brexit and it reminds us of so many years ago during the financial
crisis when we started talking about the pigs all the nations right Portugal
Italy Ireland Greece and Spain so this is now Italy front and center back to
you so much Nicole yeah kind of touch feel like deja vu to a certain extent
but you know no one should be surprised by any of this because you know what
this really is this is a revolt against globalist globalism the the system in
which too many people have lost out in I mean we saw that happen right here in
good old USA right I mean wasn't that in part what this election in 2016 was
about and then lo and behold you see that taking route in the UK and you see
that taking hold in places like Italy Italy which is struggling as a welfare
state with all the immigrants that are coming into Italy right now from African
nations and they're coming into this country and they're challenged to
support themselves and the Italians who are up against it themselves feel as
though they're taking on unnecessary burdens and then you also add on to that
the fact that when they switch to the euro a lot of them had a harder time
selling their goods I'll use Portugal as an example because the Portugal and
Spain as well we're very big in the textile industry and I can remember
being there during the height of the European debt crisis and talking to
Portuguese manufacturers textile manufacturers that had owned factories
it had had some of these factories and their families for many many years and
they said it's so hard to compete because we used to compete on our
currency and we actually had a shot against the likes of China well now we
don't have that shot anymore same thing is going on in Italy not as big as a
textile area although they do have silk in Como right up by Lake Como where I
was married actually but you know for a two trillion dollar economy that that
relies on the manufacturing of some high-end products the manufacturing of
wine and pasta and olive oil and they want to send all this abroad well it's
harder when your euro is worth that much more so maybe they're thinking to
themselves we're better off going back to the lira
I said from the beginning this was an innovative exciting experiment but I
didn't think it would work because you have too many countries the euro that is
if too many countries with too many different kinds of populations different
languages different histories different cultures and you're trying to force them
all together Allah United States of America believe me it's hard enough for
us right now we're increasingly becoming uncover noble so Europe wants to go down
that path and they have no Alexander Hamilton so how will they do that and
what is the future of the euro zone joining me right now Bell Point chief
strategist David Nelson and empyrion Wealth Management president Kimberly
Faust good to see you both I you know I look at it and and while it's so great
to think up this idea of how they can all be united in the United States and
Europe David the reality is is that it takes more than a common currency to
have that kind of unification unquestionably true you need a common
government and that's simply they don't have that and you can't support a common
currency without a common government and you're learning that lesson and it's
translating in all sorts of markets I look at credit default swaps for Italy
right now there's sovereign debt those credit default swaps are explode
right now that's translating this pushing money into US Treasuries here
mm-hmm that translation is just to back up so we explain so because this is a
sovereign debt market right it Italy has to sell its debt it sells people is
throwing their debt a lot of American financial forms actually hold this stuff
which is why we watched today exit question why would they want to do that
very very poorly yeah but as you point out as people look for safe havens it's
actually pushing the yield and the 10-year Treasury money is the US
Treasuries is pushing it into the US dollar that's translating over to our
financial system financial stocks are doing very poorly the dollar going up
gives us even more concern about the oil markets and oil prices you put it all
together you get a really sloppy market and a risk off day like today and it's
pretty ugly though we may actually be able to go to Italy right now at the
dollar it's about a buck 15 to buy a euro right now and those are levels that
we certainly haven't seen not in the last ten months and we've broken all
sorts of support at this point let me ask you Kimberly your thoughts on what I
was just explaining which is that there is this revolt going on that we're
seeing not just here in the USA but all around the world in other words
Americans and Europeans are saying enough like this whole global system
where those with capital are rewarded but labor is unfairly punished it's not
working and so they're trying to take their governments back and you see this
rise if you would in a populist sentiment yeah I I agree but here's the
problem is like you said before or Trish is that you know the euro or the year
the eurozone is many different countries and they really can't support themselves
on their own I mean in Italy has 2.7 trillion dollars in debt that's only
behind Japan and Greece under the third largest economy in the eurozone so you
know them trying to create their own I mean like you said it's hard up in the
united states i mean united we fought we now do we stand divided we fall
so for these folks to try and you know exit it's kind of like blech sit we've
seen this before we see this movie I'm not sure if they cared
there strong enough on their own to do this I applaud them to you know have the
freedom sent in to revolt and to have a better life but but if they kind of you
know isn't everyone going at that point I mean we're already talking about Spain
right now which is looking at the same thing David
you you know you you've got a number of countries over there that are saying
we're this is not this hasn't worked out but tentacles nobody ever thought the
tentacle spread everywhere and even earlier this month you saw the Turkish
lira head I believe a record low and it translates to large cap US
multinationals here in this country the dollar goes up makes it difficult to
sell and it speaks to the fact that domestically based countries companies
in this country are doing a lot better our economy is doing just fine
data points that support that we're the one game in town that seems to be
supporting this whole global okay no don't in that case is this market
overreacting as we watch it now that's off 459 or our investors simply you know
really voicing their concerns and fears about some kind of systemic crisis now
don't forget there's a big difference between say the economy having a hiccup
or a challenge and an actual debt crisis and if we've got the concern about a
European debt crisis that's that's increasingly sort of formulating in
investors Minds then that's a whole other kind of one
well a European debt crisis we can't get it through through it unscathed you know
as as strong as we are right now there will be repercussions but right now I
look here in the economy in the United States hard for me to get really
concerned when I see intermodal and rails areas of our economy that touch
every fabric of our economy doing exceedingly well some companies even
raising prices 15% and can't even meet the demand at this point so it does
spread it is a risk but I think we'll come through it just fine all right
you agree with that Kimberly I do I think we're gonna be fine I think that
the fundamentals of the of the earnings of the companies United States are
strong I think were to be as I said before Trish probably in my opinion
higher in this mark at the end of the year then we will be here okay and
investors would have to remember that you know basically you know three things
they need to be allocation they need to figure out where
their assets are their their stocks to their bonds and where they're located
diversification is your friend always in volatile markets and rebalance you know
rebalance your portfolio whatever limits are down thank you thank you thank you
good stuff from both of you appreciate it
we are following these markets everyone done 865 we're going to be falling
throughout the hour maybe this is a buying opportunity I know one guest
who's on says it absolutely positively is plus next is the summit with North
Korea actually back on the top North Korean official is on his way to the US
right now to discuss terms of the on-again off-again summit between
President Trump and Kim jong-un we have the latest Intel for you next
don't go anywhere is the market increasingly makes its way down 500
points only thinking the grain is coca-cola though

Senior N. Korean official Kim Yong-chol to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo - Duration: 2:37.
Our top story this morning...
One of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's right-hand man is en route to New York City for talks
with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as the two sides appear to be closing in on a
summit next month.
Kim Yong-chol's visit comes as multi-layered meetings are taking place in three different
locations to set the agenda for the summit and the regime's denuclearization.
Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.
The White House confirmed Tuesday that senior North Korean official Kim Yong-chol is set
to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week.
This comes after President Trump tweeted that Kim, Vice Chairman of the North's Workers'
Party is heading to New York City.
Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency says Pompeo and Kim will either meet for a day on Wednesday
or for two days until Thursday.
They are expected to discuss the issue of denuclearization and the security of the Kim
Jong-un regime.
Diplomatic sources say they will have an opportunity to reaffirm their determination for denuclearization
and ensuring the security for Kim Jong-un's regime while working on the final coordinations
before the leaders of the two countries meet face-to-face.
Both Pompeo and Kim Yong-chol are close aides to Trump and Kim Jong-un, respectively,...
and have laid the groundwork for a North Korea-U.S. summit.
While Pompeo visited the North earlier this month,... Kim Yong-chol is the first high-level
North Korean official to visit the U.S. in 18 years.
Therefore,... there's speculation Kim Yong-chol may even meet with President Trump to deliver
a letter from the North Korean leader,... just as Pompeo met with Kim Jong-un as the
special envoy of the U.S. president.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders also said senior Trump administration officials
are directly coordinating with their North Korean counterparts in Singapore and the Korean
demilitarized zone.
Kim Chang-son,... the de-facto chief of staff of Kim Jong-un has reportedly met with Joe
Hagin, a White House deputy chief of staff in Singapore to discuss the specific date
and logistics of a North Korea-U.S. summit.
This is being carried out simultaneously with the discussions involving the nuclear negotiators
from both countries,... Sung Kim, the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines and Choe Sun-hui,
the regime's vice foreign minister.
Meanwhile,... Singapore's presidential palace,... also known as the Istana,... could host the
historic summit.
This is according to South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo daily,... which quoted unnamed
sources as saying it could be the venue considering the meeting's magnitude and sensitivity.

Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy... and affiliated institutions... plan to spend
more than 23-and-a-half billion U.S. dollars to help create jobs.
It's a massive amount, equivalent to nearly one-and-a-half percent of the country's GDP,
reflecting the government's resolve to help fix the nation's employment crisis.
The ministry itself is planning to apportion half of its own budget of 6-point-2 billion
dollars to job creation -- up from just 11 percent, currently.
It also plans to provide incentives for companies with excellent track records in job creation.
That's expected to create 35-thousand jobs over the next five years.
The rest of the huge sum is from other related institutions.
Their five-year plan is aimed at adding some 90-thousand jobs, mostly in the energy sector
and the public sector.

Attention is on whether he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump... and deliver
a letter from Kim Jong-un -- much like when Pompeo twice met with the North Korean leader
in Pyongyang.
Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News.

N. Korea's ex-spy chief in U.S. for talks - Duration: 1:23.
North Korea's former top intelligence official Kim Yong-chol is visiting New York this week,
in the clearest sign yet that the isolated country really wants to salvage the potential
summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The White House says Kim will meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as part of ongoing talks
about a prospective summit.
Trump previously withdrew from participating in the summit but has signaled he might change
his mind about that.
Kim holds several high-level political and military titles in North Korea, including
the ruling party's vice chairman for inter-Korean affairs.
He's been on the front lines of North Korea's latest diplomatic outreach, appearing at the
2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea and the inter-Korea summit at the DMZ.
Kim has been a controversial choice for diplomacy: South Korea blames him for a deadly 2010 attack
on a military vessel as well as the shelling of an island that same year.
The U.S. has also accused Kim of orchestrating the 2014 hack that exposed thousands of emails
from executives at Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Kim is technically under sanctions from both South Korea and the U.S., but both nations
have been willing to waive those sanctions for the sake of diplomacy.
Kim's visit comes after a U.S. delegation crossed into North Korea for talks about the
prospective summit.
The two sides are still working out the stakes of the summit, including whether North Korea's
nuclear program will be on the table.
