doing is hurting u.s. consumers. to a certain degree, i understand the president s argument, we ve got to get tougher on china because they ve been cheating when it comes to the rules of international trade for many years. i think everyone agrees with that. the question is, when do we have too much of a good thing? i think the problem with proposing $100 billion potentially in new tariffs is that it is far too much of a good thing in the sense that the chinese have the leverage to say, okay, fine, you want tariffs, we re going to impose tariffs, too, and ultimately that s going to mean higher prices for the american consumer. lahnee chen, thank you very much. coming up, facebook is working to regain your trust, but the relationship status is still complicated. the 11th hour back after this.
comment. nothing s happened. nothing s been executed. while we re in the period before the tariffs go on, we ll continue to have discussions, but there is the potential of a trade war, and let me just be clear, it s not a trade war. the president wants reciprocal trade. is he willing to fight a trade war on this? we don t want it to come to that. the president wants us to move to a process of fairness, to free and fair and open trade, and that s what he s trying to do about it. here to talk it, lahnee chen. good to see you. good to be with you, katy. trump repeatedly tried to claim credit when the market was going up, does he deserve the blame when the market starts to fall? katy, this is a problem when you tether too much of your economic success because of the stock market. stock markets are going to go up and down. a lot of it doesn t have so much to do with policy.
americans have never clamored for the aca to be repealed. always wanted this bill to work, wanted leaders to get together and make it better. polls that show it was unpopular included progressives that didn t like it because they didn t think this went far enough. they wanted single payer. yep. if republicans approached it that way, do you think it would be acceptable to they will never say let s fix obamacare or the current bill, i don t know if ask andre that. lahnee would never happen would it? no. the issue is there s underlying flaws in the policy that republicans want to fix. issue is affordable care act passed without single republican vote, republicans tried to work with president obama and democrats in 2010, weren t interested.
lahnee chen, a fellow at hoover institution and with mitt romney in the 2012 campaign. maria cardona and andre bauer, republican former lieutenant governor of south carolina. thanks for coming back. andre, i don t know if you got to see the gentleman on earlier jeff jeans, a cancer survivor, diehard republican, changed mind about the affordable care act once he because of the preexisting conditions. did you see the interview? i didn t. he talked about how he changed his mind and hoped that those who are starting the process of dismantling it wouldn t rush it through prematurely and if going to replace, should have something to replace it with before they
maybe that says that there s not a better plan unless you go to single payer, than obamacare, which remember, was a republican plan borrowed from mitt romney and the american heritage foundation. okay. just to be clear, they do have plans. they just need one plan, bill press. nice democratic talking point. bill press, lahnee chen, thank you. just had to call you on it. they just need one. coming up, we also know how many republicans feel about obamacare but what about the medical professionals out there? let s talk to dr. sanjay. also just in, some strong words from democratic congressman john lewis of georgia, civil rights icon, why he says he does not see donald trump as a legitimate president. also ahead, comedian and talk show host steve harvey takes a meeting at trump tower today. the trumps being on family
