chinese probably told him to scuttle it and use it as leverage for the train deal. trump said he was going to drop the tariff increase on march 1. it s a gamesmanship between xi and trump. like you said, we will see what happens. i don t like the deal. they wanted to destroy their main nuclear plant in exchange for dropping all sanctions, that s crazy. no deal is better than a bad deal. it s very easy to do a deal and i think the media likes the idea of the deal and i don t care what s in it. i was easy to make the iran deal. give them a bunch of cash and let them keep their missiles. it s easy to do deals. it s difficult to do tough deal deals. greg: this is what you call a lose-lose proposition with the media. dana: i think leaders have to ignore it.
dana perino. greg: you took that plane to mexico. dana: that was only one time. i learned my lesson. but i m not leaving the country. if you re going to start a business or if you re going to grow a business, if you re going to make a leap of faith, if you re going to try to make peace with an enemy, you have to take a risk. if you do that, you might be rewarded. you also might have a news cycle that doesn t feel very good but in the long run, the long arc of history will benefit the risk takers. jesse: as you remember, juan, because you are a little bit older than i am. gorbachev was at reykjavik with reagan. reagan walked out and said no deal and he got crushed by the media. they had several other meetings and things ended up working out but i understand your point because traditionally in diplomacy when you have the stomach, your underlings line up these things that are going to happen that it s basically like a big signing ceremony. the problem with that is kim. he s a dictat
would run now. joe biden had a moment to run. it was 2016 and he chose not to. i think maybe the time has passed. if he would come on a show for the daily briefing. juan: we suggest you do it, mr. vice president. i think you need to give him space on the family stuff. dana: i don t want anyone to suggest that. his son who passed away said his dying wish was dad come i want you to run. but the clip we just shown, my grandchildren think i should run. okay. at some point you ve got to show, you think you want to run against trump because you want to run for the country, not because your grandchildren want you to. juan: kennedy is putting down beto o rourke as a beta male. greg: i want to talk about beto and biden. every time i see beto is not exciting. he s excitable. every time i see him, he s like a buzzed college kid at thanksgiving dinner and excitedly telling the family about the class he s taking on noam chomsky and when he leaves, everybody the table is going did
no. jesse: don t say nothing burger. dana: i m not going to say nothing burger. it was a hearing that had to happen. it s behind everybody. i think there might be an excuse for the democrats to be able to say we need some more hearings. if you look at congresswoman ocasio-cortez s questions about money laundering and the insurance claims and she said do you think we need to get more information on this and you need to see the tax returns. jesse: what did she allege? he was devaluing the property? dana: i think somebody within may be st ny or somebody said it would be a good question to ask and get him on the record because it allows them to pull more strings. on the two big questions, the answer was no. jesse: greg gutfeld. greg: the best analysis came from geraldo. he found more in al capone s vault than that. cohen, the only thing that
the thing about backpage and craigslist, these are people making deals. dana: a lot of the backpage stuff was trafficking. greg: i wouldn t know, dana. dana: i covered it as a story, that s how i know. ask senator rob portman. greg: why? was he on backpage? dana: no. he pushed to get it closed down because of the human trafficking issues. i think you re right. i think the human trafficking part, if you want to focus on that a new take the other part away. kennedy: then you create an even darker black market and that s the problem. when you are forcing it deeper and deeper into the shadows and you criminalize the activity, the black market grows. that s not a good thing. people are going to do what they are going to do. you re not going to affected because because it s the world oldest profession because the demand is there. juan: i think the violence and the kind of threats and abuse and the larger sex trafficking we saw in the bob kraft case in florida.
