battle going on and that s the one area where he is weak. to focus on those dates, to focus on that, there will slow down, and that is a slow down from where we were, in manufacturing, in those very states that he needs to win again. exactly and this is why i think a lot of people are pointing to the potential for the some sort of economic slow down because in this is hoping that the president himself has caused, this trade war with china, there s a lot of uncertainty. that s the thing wall street hates the most, the uncertainty in the markets and that s i think contribute into some of these fears that there could be a potential economic slow down. between the uncertainty with china as well as some of the other economic policies, people pointing to potentially there will be a slow down. this is something in my conversations with people on the trump campaign, within the white house, it s their biggest fear. that the economy starts to take a turn, the president is in a much more danger
physical movements. he never stepped foot out of north korea. he hopped on the train and in response to the tariffs against china. the fact is chairman kim said neil: you think he s calling the shots? i think the relationship that exists, there is no reason for north korea to exist as it does, that this is a country with less paid road miles than a small town in america and the whole country, it s a poor player spending money neil: this trade thing. china s ankle biter against america. neil: before the election, do you think? i don t know the answer. if i am trump and i ve said this to you about other things, the mexico tariffs and what have you, sometimes trump caved on a little agreement and sometimes he waits for more later. i he s going to want something.
optics didn t look good and the timing so close to 9/11, do you think there is the difference between expressing concerns and being deemed not a team player? i think the thing is about the taliban, whether we negotiate with them, how we leave, all wars ultimately end and there ultimately is a negotiated settlement unless you have unconditional surrender like after world war ii with japan or germany. the vast majority of their rest of the wars and with negotiations. neil: would you have been for those talks with the taliban? here s what i would say about it. it s a confusing situation. i think the taliban needs to negotiate but i think they should negotiate directly with the government of afghanistan. they have refused to do so. part of one white that we end the war as we continue to support in a lessening fashion through money and arms the government of afghanistan and we have them step up. really it s the obligation of
nationwide and perhaps a bellwether going into 2020. neil: we shall see. thank you, as always. president trump s approval is going down. recession fears ramping up. but the numbers indicate anything but. going on he that one?! no! what about that?! no! what about now?! no! that do it?! [ buffer stops ] still not working! how bout now?! no! i just don t know. i mean, i don t know who labeled this thing. yeah?! no!
nevertheless i would come home because the idea that we have to control land around the world to prevent terrorism is a fallacy. there s land everywhere. there is chaos in africa. there is chaos in the middle east. there s all kinds of place are terrorist to be. it s a foolish notion to think america has to be all those places policing on those areas to prevent terrorism. we should be vigilant about who comes to the country. the people on 9/11 came here legally. we should pay attention to those who would come to our country. we should have strict rules on who comes into our country. we should have great intelligence around the world. it doesn t mean we have to occupy every acre. neil: s may be something that would echo some concerns that mr. bolton had then we are learning, senator, that there s been an explosion in the afghan capital near the u.s. embassy technically on 9/11, the anniversary of 9/11 their time. isn t that the same kind of thing mr. bolton was concerned about and wo
