what do you think? >> it is. i would argue we got to be focused on technology transfer, the theft of intellectual property and technology that china is so good at with their espionage. i do think this may put more pressure on china and leverage them in the north korean discussions but i've been very clear as well, as long as chairman brady of ways and means that if we are going to do trade and tariff wars we've got to be focused on our enemies and not friends and allies like our european nato allies in canada and mexico. neil: so when you hear the president talk about responding and putting tariffs on automobiles, and automobile parts, trucks, et cetera, and no one appears to be budging yet, do you think he should prepare the american people, many of whom are unaware that that's something they directly pay, many think for example, congressman that it's the government that pays that, that he should prepare them for the distinct possibility that they could pay a lot more for a car.
