have to abide by high environmental health and human safety standards, and companies in other countries, whether vietnam or thailand don t have to do that. when the farmers in other counties don t have to take care of workers or protect the environment the way american farmers do, the complaint it is unfair to american business and growers and products from other countries are cheaper and products from america are more expensive. that is what the tpp would have done. it would have addressed the concerns of american labor, that the president has and many democrats have about the unfair trade practices of other countries. when we with drew from the tpp, that means that american goods will still have to be subject to the high surcharges in other countries, making american goods more expensive but the goods coming from the other countries that are part of the tpp, like
michigan. barbara, this is a big deal. this was the president s lead attorney and in the complicated world of attorneys and the white house ones and the trump organization ones, this is actually the team representing the president in the special counsel investigation. what do you think what do you make of the lead attorney resigning? it s a significant development but i think it is not surprising in light of the addition of joe digenova in recent days. if you are the head coach of a football team and the owner hires another head coach, you say what do you need two of us for? so i think in light of that, especially someone who has a very different strategy, the things that joe degenova said and the conspiracy theories suggest a different kind of strategy and so we might be seeing a very a significant change in the strategy from the president as well. i guess the question is what you have this serious a matter that esteemed legal team why
lawyer up to do is the right way. and that is interesting. and we ll talk about facebook s responsibility in a second with roger mcnamee. but katy tur asked me, how do you get ari to give you such good material because you drop some lyrics. as a lawyer, i ve grown accustomed to not being amazed by trump s tweets but i was amazed by this new one where he said remember when they were saying during the campaign that donald trump is giving great speeches and drawing big crowds but he s spending much less money and not using social media as well as crooked hillary s large and highly sophisticated staff. well not saying that any more. that strikes me as weird. boasting about all of this. if i were in the midst of all of the cambridge analytica and facebook stuff, i m not sure would you be bragging about it. yeah, i m of two minds on this. as someone who observed many political campaigns i think it is a mathematical fact that the trump campaign had good return on investment online and on tv
the company was warned that alexander nix should recuse himself of management duties in the company as ceo and they were also warned that the company shouldn t be sending foreign citizens to go and run american campaigns. they completely disregarded it. and i have the memo to prove it. he cites that memo we ve been reporting on this as you know, it was rudy giuliani s law firm that allegedly warned cambridge, trump s firm, to be careful about doing this because it might break the law. what is facebook is not sort of going after wylie on this but cambridge analytica really is. this is often the case with whistleblower, an attempt to undermine their credibility and from the business world, as i know, the frequent accusation is it is sour grapes. they are mad, they didn t get paid enough or promoted. they have some ax to grind. and i asked him about this and we ll air his response in full fairness.
any campaign. and it is proliferating in terms of putin em boldened when you have him poisoning ex-pats and his behavior is shown to be getting more aggressive that when he looks across the atlantic and sees that the president is cheering this what looks leek a partisan action because this is on a party line vote and the democrats protesting that this could have severe ramifications when we know it is not just an attack on our election systems but also trying to get into our energy grid and that is it is becoming a national potential national security crisis. and we should note that the senate intelligence committee investigation is being taken more seriously and they seem to be operating on a more bipartisan basis. heidi, thank you. hei heidi president bola. and coming up, a response to mark zuckerberg open to government protection and
