The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Things were uncomfortable with, things the north koreans are uncomfortable with. Hopefully, we see a Denuclearizdenucleariz Denuclearized verifiable north korea. You said the Mueller Probe has to be allowed to proceed and come to fruition. The president s lawyer Rudy Giuliani yesterday in his words said the Special Counsel needs to, quote, Put Up Or Shut up. Do you agree . I would love to see this probe wrap up. It needs to wrap up after all the work is done. This has been over a year now in the making. Its really torn the country apart. Theres been no evidence pointing to collusion. Im looking at this saying, i want the Special Counsel to finish it because americans if this thing ends prematurely, its going to be this division in our country Going Forward forever. Its going to cast a shadow everywhere. Get the report. Im sure he is not watching me right now. But if he is watching, i would say, lets wrap this up as fast as you can while doing all your
work, because time for america to deal with whatever it says and move forward as best we can. He does not have a television in his office. He is not watching right now. Congressman, your colleagues in the senate, your colleagues in the senate yesterday blocked a democratic amendment that would have provided 250 million to ramp up Election Security ahead of the midterms. This would go to new voting equipment, Cyber Security efforts. In your side on the house, House Democrats had tried to amend a bill last month for Election Security funding, 380 million worth. It would kick in october 1. You and your fellow republicans voted against that. I know you are concerned about election meddling. Why oppose that . Because its a maneuver by the Minority Party to kill a bill. Thats all it is. This is something, frankly, we did whether we were in the minority. The democrat dozs do it. Democracy. More money for it . Okay. You said wherever its necessary. You said in a recent interview on fox, people in congress or the senate or in other positions are scared to call him, meaning the president , out when he is incorrect. Do you think too many of your fellow republicans right now are scared to call out the president because they see the Polling Numbers in the party and they say 88 of republicans are supportive of this president . I dont know i guess theres some fear. You tick off people that support you if you do it. I think whats incumbent on us as members of congress what i have said is im going to support the president in every way i can. I will oppose him when i must. I dont celebrate having to do that. I represent 700,000 people. My responsibility is to do whats right for the district. Whether its Trade Policy Against specifically canada, mexico, europe, you have to be clear. At the same time, im going to
support the president. I wish him success. Lets talk about something you asked this president to do. You sent a letter on july 13, two weeks ago, to the white house on syria. This is an issue for you as a veteran, as an american, as a representative thats incredibly important. You look at the civil war, more than 500,000 people killed, more than 50,000 children killed. You sent a letter to the white house two weeks ago. You called on them to establish more nofly zones. Have you gotten a response . If not, is the white house doing enough right now on the ground in syria and when it comes to initiatives like this . I havent gotten a response that i know of. Frankly, we need to do more in syria. I would say no. They have been very aggressive against isis. I have no complaints with the counterisis plan. The president stepped that up massively. We have seen isis disbursed. My concern starting with the last administration is assad is killing so many people and
creating an environment that thats what is allowing these folks to radicalize because they are so angry and looking to the United States to help. In some cases, again, this started with president obama, both sides share some blame on this, we have ceded the area. Its difficult to do without a stronger commitment. Im not talking massive military forces. A nofly zone is easy. You brought up russia and iran in the letter. This was just after the president stood side by side with Vladimir Putin on stage in helsinki and said putin and russia could help the United States in syria. When the hear the president Say Something like that and you look at sort of who is aiding assad the most, how does that sit in your stomach . I dont like it. I have been very clear that russia does not have american good interests in mind. You think about a number of years ago we accidentally bombed a hospital in afghanistan. We went through all these things to figure out why we did it. We held people accountable. The russians bomb three hospitals a day or three medical clinics a day. The idea that somehow the russians can be the Miraculous Savior of syria simply is unrealistic and wrong. In areas like this, the president is doing a lot of great stuff in foreign policy. But in areas i disagree, i have to be vocal about it. We have to go quickly. The president said with ru shutting down the government if he doesnt get the wall. Would it be great for republican candidates . Nope. Thank you, congressman. I think thats the first actual oneword answer i have gotten from a lawmaker. I appreciate you being with me. The president s daughter
ivanka trump contradicted her fathers attacks on the media. He called the media the enemy of the American People. She said, no, the media is not. Hear more from her ahead.

Because her father has said that
over and over again. Here is her response. I have to ask you, do you think that were the enemy of the people . Sorry . Do you think were the enemy of the people . No, i do not. Are you looking for me to elaborate . Sure. No, i dont. With me now earl lewis and paul callen. Its not funny at all when the president calls the press the enemy of the American People. Ivanka said she was on a different page with her dad when she was asked about the family separation. She called it a low point. Also warned of coyotes and other issues with children being
trafficked. Look, this is shes out there more now as the new york types the New York Times elaborated on this. This is by no mean this is not a big tent, shall we say. One of the tensions thats been running through the white house from the beginning was that she and her husband, jared kushner, se seemed to be in a different place than a lot of the workhorses of the Trump Administration. There are times when they are a little isolated. They cant be completely excluded, cant be fired, cant be removed. It helps the administration to have someone there. I would point out, in that exchange, it gets laughed off. Shes on a different page than her father when it comes to this hot button phrase. Underlying it is a serious issue. I dont know if she was given the right level of serious attention about what it means to have a president , even if it is her father, making those kinds
of comments. Thats where the interview i would have hoped could have gone. Followed up. Paul, to you on mueller and the investigation and the different page that the president is on from his own legal team. The reporting in the New York Times this morning really makes you believe this isnt just they are acting as they they are on different teams. The president does want to sit down with mueller, even though his lawyers are advising him against it. They write, in effect, he, being the president , believes he can convince the investigators for the Special Counsel of his belief that their own inquiry say witch hunt. What do you make of that . Its not surprising to me that the president would, in his own mind, think he could talk mueller out of investigating him. This is a possibility. I can tell you this. No lawyer will ever recommend to him that he should sit down and talk with mueller. I suspect in the end, the president will follow his lawyers advice on something that might be as critical as
whether he survives the presidency. Even if it means not sitting down at all . We know that mueller will give a little bit on the obstruction questions. But he still wants to ask some questions face to face with the president. If giuliani and the president S White House team cant stomach that, how does the president politically go out and tell voters and explain why he wont sit for an interview even though he says he did nothing wrong . Politically, he has quite a lot of wiggle room, shall we say, a lot of leeway with his base to say things that are directly contradictory. He is in a great deal of danger if he goes in. Whether or not they make agreement around obstruction, theres always this question about raising new issues and independently drawing new attention and new charges on oneself by giving false statements under oath. You cannot do that. Its a crime whether or not you
have formally been placed under oath to lie to federal officials. You can not l you cannot lie to the fbi. He doesnt want to etch poxpose himself to that. There are a lot of things you cant convince donald trump about. I think on this score, they can convince him that these people are hostile. One word out of place can lead to a catastrophically bad legal situation for him. You dont have to do it. This is someone who has been deposed before. He knows what it is like. He is a seasoned pro. He has had thousands of lawsuits against him. He has been through a lot. He is a master at giving vague answers that are sort of not prosecutable as perjury. He is up against a Seasoned Team of prosecutors here. If he lies, in the interview, h he has committed a new crime. He doesnt know if mueller has information that there isnt publicity about that they will
launch on him. Thats what the lawyers are afraid of. On the manafort case, which is in day three in the federal courthouse in virginia, i thought the president might stay out of it. He chose to weigh in yesterday on twitter and said, why didnt the Justice Department tell me they were investigating my campaign chairman. Its obvious as to why they didnt tell him. His team is trying to get him out to do rallies and not focused on the manafort investigation. He is weighing in. Whats your sense and your reporting on how much the American People care about this trial and how they see it as relating to the president or not . This is not a case this one about his work for the president. Nevertheless, if you lay this on the watergate template that some of us older folks have lived through, this is around the time where the public actually does start to pay attention, where it starts to get big. Its one thing if some obscure papadopoulos or somebody gets charged. Who was he . I never heard of him. This was the campaign chairman, a force in American Politics for decades. Somebody who has an easy to understand story involving Ostrich Jackets and opulence. To have him possibly convicted of financial fraud involving foreign powers then we get into another trial. This is Whethn The Public will start to weigh in, realize theres something seriously wrong here. One other thing i wanted to scrum p in wi jump in on, i was looking at reporting in may about one of the original questions that prosecutors were going to ask the president. The question was, did you have any knowledge of Paul Manaforts outreach to the russians prior to the inauguration. I think there is still a potential for a tie to manafort in the mueller russia probe. His work for yanukovych, who was a Russia Puppet in ukraine. This is very much tied to russia. Thank you both very much. Still to come, this could get very ugly. The president is threatening to double down on his tariffs with china. To double them.

Liberty mutual insurance. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Administration is considering doubling the size of the tariffs on an additional 200 billion worth of chinese goods. This would mean that a 10 tax would go up to 25 . That would mean a lot of stuff. Lets bring in christina leschi. This is classic trump. He is frustrated by the lack of a deal between the u. S. And china and those negotiations on a trade deal. He is ratcheting up the pressure in the hopes of getting china to the negotiating table. The problem is, this strategy of escalation hasnt worked. The first round of tariffs, china imposed tariffs on u. S. Goods. Yes, there was a pause on european cars tariffs on european cars. Again, no deal. The question remains, where is this deal for the American Worker . All we have are strongly worded
statements from china. Overnight china saying it is actually repaprepared and force launch kaunt ekaunlte ecounterm. Consumers and companies are caught in the middle of the fight. Whats going to happen on the cost ofs go goods . A tariff is a tax. I dont want to make it sound like the strategy wont work. It hasnt worked yet. Chinas economy is taking a hit as a result of the its a good point. I want to ask you about something thats really important and doesnt always make the headlines. Thats the size of the deficit in the country. Theres a warning on the news that it looks like the United States trumps own Office Of Management And Budget is saying,
we will run a trillion dollar plus deficit for the next four years. The Wall Street Journal said it prompted the u. S. Go increase its borrowing substantially. Look, in the long term, deficits, can be detrimental. The u. S. Can be in so much debt that it cant spend on anything else, including on medicare and medicaid. In the short term, most republicans or many of them who have traditionally, to your point, been Deficit Hawks do not see the political upside in standing up to this president whose policy seems to be spend, spend, spend, they think its a good time to push for tax cuts, which they have been vying for. At this point when the president seems to be not caring about the
deficit. They are getting their way. The political upside of standing up to the president is not there. This is going to be deficit neutral, were going to make it up. That is a subject for much debate. Thank you. One of the biggest names in college football, urban meyer on leave. This as controversy grows around a former coach on his team. We will explain.

With shelly meyer being aware of everything going on and saying that she was going to have to tell urban, do you think he knows about all of this . I believe he does. Did he ever directly talk to you about what was going
