about it toyota is not happy about it canada threatens retaliation as does europe. we will see. there might be carveouts for canada. we don t have a problem with canada. some problem with europe. but this is mainly shot at china u. steve: well, boohoo. look at the american worker. this is good for the american worker. you know, the stock market dpght like it because they thought it s going to cost more to buy cars and stuff like that. we talked to stuart varney about it yesterday. how much is it going to impact the price of a car? really not that much. brian: it s not that simple. if you have i if you re answer to american tariffs on steel is to take it out on farmers, then farmers pay the price. have you got to be prepared in some schools of thought to pay more money for beer because aluminum is going to cost more money. steve: a little bit. brian: i think it s fascinating. it s a shot across the bough. i m fascinated to see guys like orrin hatch about it and democrats elated about
decide if someone will be exempt from these tariffs and maybe they get some carveouts for people that aren t dumping or aren t violating as opposed to china, for example? and when will we know about that? the president expects to make those announcements next week and those details are being finalized. in terms of what that will look like, i can t get ahead of the president s announcement. this is a president who has been talking about this not just since the campaign but frankly for decades. and this is something that shouldn t come as a surprise to anybody. the president is committed to looking out, protecting the american worker. that s exactly what he is going to do. that s what he campaigned on. that s what he is delivering on. and these actions that you are seeing that took place yesterday. ainsley: i know you grew up down south. many viewers country music fans. your dad was asked to sit on the board of directors fort cma foundation and a few days later they asked him to step d
the tariffs when they didn t have all of the details ready to explain to the press, to explain to allies. i mean, we don t know if it is going to actually apply to every country, if there will be any carveouts. he is saying that it does the devil is always in the details and i think that is why the market might be jittery. and when you are slapping tariffs on aluminum and steel, you are giving preferential treatment to those american industries, but you are jacking up prices potentially for lots of american manufacturers and lots of other companies in the industrial base of the country. so there are winners and losers here. is so the idea that this is 100% going to protect american workers, well, you have to look at the details. if you are in the aluminum and steel business, yes. if you are in the automotive business where you are importing steel and aluminum, not buying it domestically, you will be hurt. and she was asked sarah sanders was, okay, are there going to be exemptions.
carveouts and why and especially if we re going to have carveouts, tens of thousands of people coming at tps economic level if they re even lucky have is the shirt on their back. every time he says something racist, right, every time he says something like this or he says that there are people on both sides of charlottesville where people were chanting jews will not replace us, that is not what he means. it has nothing to do with charlottesville. it absolutely does, jason. we have heard from the president who he thinks about these issues that deal with race and deal with other. and consistently he says things like this. we are told by people close to the white house, that s not what he meant. here s where we disagree, john. the president, because i had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with him. he believes the u.s. is the best country in the history of this
daca. jason, with all due respect, that may be what you re here to talk about. but the president said something that a lot of people reacted to. so is let s talk about what he said. he was supposed to have a meeting yesterday where lawmakers come in and talk about merit-based immigration reform. they came to him with something with carveouts. he doesn t want carveouts from folks in specific countries. whether it be uk, norway, japan, haiti, el salvador. he doesn t want carveouts by country. he wants a merit-based immigration system, plain and simple. and the fact that the folks came to him with a plan that isn t acceptable, obviously he is fired out. there was salty language back and forth on either side. so he referred to some of the places in the world might be s-holes. there are a lot of on s-hole countries. he only mentioned ones with black and brown people. his point was why did you bring me something with
