Interviews with political figures and news updates. Agreement that collusion, if you look in the law books, isnt a crime, but conspiracy is a crime. If you speak to legal analysts, and pete probably knows a whole lot more about this, they would say its a part of the broader question that investigators are looking into, andrea. And pete, at the courthouse, this is so important, because its not related directly to the russia probe, but its so important for mueller to have a really strong case going in. Reporter Jury Selection is under way now, andrea. And it could end today. We could get Opening Statements tomorrow, if Jury Selection slops over into tomorrow. Its expected to last three weeks. It has nothing to do with the time that manafort worked on the campaign or was campaign chairman. It has to do with his work for another president , viktor yanukovych, former president of
september, andrea. And just a fashion question, this is a man known for his very, very expensive customtailored
about whether the president won or whether he blinked. for now a reprieve from trifrs that would have september shockwaves from the u.s. and mexican companies. pitting the president against senators in his own party who don t like tariffs to begin with and especially don t like them being used as a weapon in an immigration dispute. let me just say there s a lack of enthusiasm among senate republicans for what would amount to a tax increase frankly on working class people. tariffs are simply attacks on the american people. tariffs on the other hand would be a massive tax. tariffs are bad policy, attacks on the american consumer and affect disproportionately middle income earners. a lot of people, senators included, have no idea what they re talking about when it comes to tariffs. they have absolutely no idea. tomorrow will be a more peaceful day, both in the u.s. and the mexican economy because
use the tool many times, the question what if it actually works in these negotiations? they know that on the table are potential asylum changes that the administration has been speaking for a long time and haven t been agreed upon yet and two slots to it. what if it works and he believes now that this is absolutely something he should be doing on a regular basis from here on out which goes to the core about how he feels about tariffs for a long time and the second, even if they works, even if they pull off. you guys had a great conversation about the economy in the last block. the u.s. economy and how allies view us in the future. i think those two questions remain unanswered. you can hear that from the president. he thinks the bludgeon of tariffs, used in a trade war and in this case in an immigration dispute, he thinks it work with a big trading partner like mexico, it just might. will mexico do enough. the last 24 hours we ve heard progress and not enough and mexico comes back and
the president flies home here s his big takeaway from his visit to the united kingdom. the meeting with the queen was incredible. i really got to know her because i sat with her many times. we are automatic chemistry. you have that feeling, good feeling. there are those that say they have never seen the queen have a better time, a more animated time. we begin the hour with a new and dramatic warning from the president from the american economy he hopes to ride to re-election. the government says just 75,000 jobs were created last month, way below expectations. it s the latest sign the economy is slowing, and it comes as the president is just hours away from a big step that could slow it more, announcing new tariffs on all mexican imports to the united states. now tariffs are normally a weapon in trade wars. as we see in the high-stakes white house confrontation with china, but in the case of mexico they are a presidential bludgeon in an immigration dispute. talks continued today, a
race mongering, and there s no way they re going to give the president what he wants on this wall. i think the other point is the idea that you can have a president who would shut down the government and then gets what he wants. that s the kind of person that i think democrats and probably republicans don t want to set either. so the democrats are incredibly dug in on this. you wonder if the president has missed his opportunity for this. he came into office in the main promise on the border wall. it was two years ago. there s been a midterm election since then. and, you know, using this a lot of people support the border wall. not a lot of people support using the national emergency as the excuse. remember a year ago, we were coming out of a shutdown a year ago. a shutdown that was over an immigration dispute a year ago. so, you know, there s a logical disconnect here for a lot of voters. to your point about the timing. the president had his own party. ran the show for two years.
