may have misremembered, i apologize, let s move forward, we re still talking about this more than a week after the fact, and i think that is unfortunate. but the real misfortune in all of this, we re talking about divisiveness, we re still talking about florida victims, we re still talking about civil war. we should be talking about tax reform. that s the big rollout tomorrow, and we re not talking about that because we have russia hanging over our head and divisiveness. i mean, we can t have a conversation about tax reform because we have to now at least confront the reality. this president does not want to have the conversation about tax reform. he doesn t want to talk about health care. the agenda is the cultural issue. this president has been fighting the cultural war in plain sight his entire life, whether going back to the central park five when you start talking about the fact that it was japanese currency manipulation before it was chinese currency manipulation. tha
the president thinks we cannot lose in a fight like this, but now, thanks to cnbc translating this list, we have a pretty good sense of who in the u.s. does have a lot to lose in this fight even if the president himself doesn t see it. anybody in the u.s. involved in the production of this very long but very specific list of american-made things might beg to differ with the president s assertion that there s nothing to lose. the chinese government announced today they re going to go after people in the united states involved in the production and exports of this whole big long list of things uncombed cotton, soy bones black or yellow, fresh and cold boneless beef, frozen beef with bones, frozen boneless beef, dried cranberries, frozen orange juice, non-frozen orange juice. hookah, tobacco, other tobacco for smoking. also whiskeys, and interestingly, there s no modifier on whiskey, just which is whiskeys. if you know anyone who s involved in the production of any whiskey,

through, but we ve been talking about it since the president not just on the campaign, but took office. mexico has the ability to step up and do more. the president has been asking them for months to do that, and now he is putting some measures in place that hopefully will get them to engage more so that they will start to help us in this process. but a source close to the white house tells cnbc the treasury secretary steve mnuchin and u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer oppose this move. senate finance committee chair charles grassley slammed it as a misuse of presidential tariff authority. mexico s president says his country won t respond with desperation but will push for dialogue with the united states. he said he would send his foreign minister to washington to try to roach each an agreeme. however, that wasn t enough to soothe concerns on wall street. check out the big board again. hit session lows between 2:00 and 3:00 and started to see some improveme improv
