subject, you can be patient. police are looking to contain and negotiate, because there s no concern of anybody being killed either from an active shooter or somebody that s taking hostages and electing to try to hurt somebody or hurt multiple people. as we determining, post-columbine on, we re determining that there are a lot less opportunities for the negotiation phase. law enforcement has to immediately go in and interdict in these situations. what we re telling people that could potentially be caught in this, the people in trader joe s, the civilians, we re telling them run. if you re able to, run, or move, because it is much more difficult for somebody to shoot a moving target. i think the hit rate is about 4% successful on a moving target. so don t stay stationary. in too many of these instances, people are hiding behind desks,
after. the economic impact is supposed to be small so far. but if this escalates to the $500 billion plus that trump was talking about last night, this will be a problem for the markets, for consumers and for businesses. neil: to your point, say we survive this and it doesn t drag on long and china, specifically, they re the target right now, they re in a bear markets. their markets are suffered. they re more vulnerable. that s the argument the president has been making. what if it does drag on for quite a few months? then i ll be wrong. i believe we re still in the negotiation phase and may stay there. what do tough guys do when they talk? when they don t want to fight? they ratchet things up slowly. president trump is talking more tariffs. but in the end, before we get to the 200, the market smells like
the real sort of damage with tariffs can be seen with what happened with obama, bush and reagan didn t work. neil: all right but their approach to dealing with china didn t work either. charlie: well is his approach working? i hope so. neil: let s listen to the professor and give this a chance before you bash it. charlie: listen to you. [laughter] can we also just recognize we do not have these tariffs in place. we are still neil: not yet. in the negotiation phase. let s see howl it plays out. neil: we shall see how it goes gary b., you ve got to calm down i just want to say that. by the way we are getting wind of what the president is i put foil to charlie. neil: there you go the president with his weekly video address is looking at this whole border situation saying i m also calling on congress to immediately close the deadly border security loophole that endanger our country all over our country, we re living with laws that simply don t work. former arizona governor jan br
