should be put in jail for. i think there s a reason why he s being tough on this, even though i wish they would both stop calling each other names. eric: maybe it will happen, i bet it won t. probably not. probably not. eric: joel and beverly, thank you very much. thank you. arthel: mexico s president is at his southern border after his country reached a deal with the u.s. the avoid tariffs on goods coming north. why is he there? we will tell you. sir, you re a broker. what do you charge for online equity trades? uh, i ll look into it. (phone rings) lisa jones! lisa: (on phone) hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades? (nervous chuckle) lisa: and do i get my fees back if i m not happy? like a satisfaction guarantee? ugh. schwab! lisa: oh right, i m calling schwab. thanks, carl! wait, lisa! lisa. are you getting low costs backed by a satisfaction guarantee? if not, talk to schwab. a modern approach to wealth management.
country and her family, have we ever seen anything like this? no, it is getting really personal now. it is reminiscent from the democrat president of the calls to lock her up of hilary clinton on the campaign trail. this is really hard ball stuff right now. and speaker pelosi, she is taking shots. she also received significant shots from the beaches of normandy where a negative nickname of her was used by the president. so it s getting very intense. and i don t think it is going to dissipate. something s going to have to break. if the white house doesn t allow witnesses to go forward, they are going to see a more unified democratic front and potential impeachment. eric: beverly, what do you make of the tone? i have never been a fan of name calling from either side all together. i think most americans wish that would stop, but at the same time i think the president has a perspective on this which is we ve already been through an investigation. now there are calls of putting him in j
that mexico says it will now take, will is actually help stop the continuing flow of migrants that are at a record now? i think it s the best step forward we ve had yet. i think it demonstrates, frankly, eric, this is an outcome-oriented president. he wants a solution at the border. he doesn t want a talking point. he created a win-win proposition by linking trade to security which he notablies has done all over the world. it s a technique that frankly a lot of presidents the last one in particular didn t use. but i think that it s very promising. i mean, i see this as a win-win in part because it s an action-forcing event and inside mexico they actually a lot of mexicans would like to see the southern border closed down and not so much throughput by central americans. the last thing i ll say is remember that what this president has done yet again, and it sends a ricochet, to china, russia, all over the world, iran, what he said is fundamentally that our credibility is back.
democrats are doing on this saturday. hi, mark. good afternoon. this is not a weekend off for most of the democratic candidates, several of them on the campaign trail in iowa. buttigieg spoke with reporters in des moines. he was asked about president trump s decision to reverse course and not impose tariffs in mexico that were set to go into effect a few days from now. here s what he had to say. i think it was mostly a face saving maneuver. we need a comprehensive strategy. not a pattern of poking others in the eye. it is clearly the administration itself hasn t thought this through. it shows him trailing candidates like biden, warren. the associated press reports his campaign is on a hiring spree to 85 now. eric? eric: the dnc that runs those debates one prominent democratic presidential hopeful not too
several communities including conway, arkansas, which we re showing you now, where they are also concerned about the levees holding up. in missouri, the governor says the record flooding is having an effect on businesses as well. as of yesterday, when i left the office, over 300 roads under water. the rail transportation, the railroads have stopped in a lot of areas of the state. when you look at these people without their homes and you see businesses boarded up and sandbagged up, where they can t do business, it has a huge effect on our economy in this state. arthel: absolutely. hundreds of barges are stalled on the mississippi river now clogging the supply chain that farmers and other industries rely on. eric: the 2020 democratic presidential primary race is full swing this weekend in iowa. nearly 20 of the candidates will be holding rallies throughout the hawkeye state this weekend. this comes as the first democratic debate, well, that s now less than three weeks away. mark meredi
