out of hand. at this point these aren t tariffs, they re attack on hard-working americans. the way that we can beat china in the global marketplace is by investing our american workers. our human capital is our most potent work force. neil: i know this pre-dates you almosting a congressman, but the hurricane in florida, dorian, seems to be taken a slight turn, and he s seen history where hugs that storm the coast go up to the northeast. as a staten island, and sandy that didn t register as a hurricane. a lot of floridians, i m not saying they re nonchalant, but thinking this, too, will pass. what do you say given the sandy experience, the fact that sometimes a storm can be short
whether you re an official or one working on the ground in florida, everyone seems to be on the same page. the standard was set some time ago. some say it s a fallout from hurricane katrina back in 2005 when there was arguing and disputing and politicizing back and forth, the president who wasn t in sync with the mayor of new orleans, wasn t in sync with the governor back and forth. michael brown was caught in the middle of that, the former fema director. no doubt encouraged by the cooperation he sees among the authorities and all sorts of parties. mike, good to have you. people forget how important that is, whether there s sniping or finger pointing. help is hard to come by and getting something done is even harder, isn t it? it is. i think what s impressed me, i don t want to diminish your point about the cooperation between federal, state and local
countries in their camp, ute loosing their major corporations like huawei and others to build the telecommunications infrastructure. and that s a major battle that we have to contend with. i want to maybe ask admiral stavridis and evelyn, in this concept of a trade war, when you utilize tariffs, aren t a lot of the casualties on our side, because after all, aren t tariffs fundamentally hurting american businesses, and ultimately american consumers? indeed they are, jeremy. and again, let s look at history here. go back 100 years ago. we tried tariffs, right? we tried the howly smooth tariffs. we erected massive trade barriers. we came out of europe after the first world war, we rejected the league of nations. how did that work out. we sparked a global trade war and you can drop a plum line to the casualties and rising fascism and the casualties not only costs in the united states but big geopolitical that the

it. but there is a role for tariffs and dealing with countries like china. using tariffs in mexico on immigration without precedent makes absolutely no since. no sense. i will pick up and point out that tariffs and trades are not apples an orange, they re apples and hubcaps and make no sense, and not to use them together in mexico. the point on china, we need to, to your point, we do need to bend china in order to get them more in compliance globally but we got to be careful we don t break it because when you break it you re back in in the 1930s scenario. bend but not break. and president trump talked about another adversary yesterday, iran, talking in a press briefing with president macron of france. let s listen. mr. president mr. preside- i don t think that the president wants to see nuclear weapons and noert do neither do
