that at helsinki he left an impression he want today correct. his actions tell all that vladimir putin needs to know. neil: you ve studied on your fine show on fox business, this notion that actions do speak louder than words. the economic performance and tax cuts. do you worry, charles, this might be more noise and the cohen tape that wall street gets word, mr. president, this is all killing what is a wonderful agenda? i don t. i listen to a lot of conference calls this week and last week and i read through a bunch of transcripts and not one of the ceo s none of them mentioned russia. last week, one country out of 23 mentioned tariffs. that s lennar and they re hurt by lumber prices. neil: trade is going to be a worry, but not an issue right now. they re ceo s talking to shareholders, what is happening not with a could happen.
we have to occupy all of it. we have to occupy every airport, we need to occupy every i.c.e. office until those kids are back with their parents, period. neil: all right, cortez among the many democrats who are saying not only do we have to police i.c.e., we have to shut down i.c.e. but they did have a moment this week they could put their action to a vote and their sentiment to the test. they did not, 133 house democrat s voting present on a measure that simply advocates support for i.c.e. we were the only ones who picked up on that no doubt so did former acting i.c.e. director thomas homan, very good to have you back with us how you doing? doing all right thanks for having me. neil: what did you make of that vote? i know it was a little unusual because it was a chance for those who were eager to disband i.c.e., shut it down whatever they wanted to call it and they voted present on a measure whose only point was to show support
noisy. but the read from stock switch founder, are you worried about this drip, drip, drip, russia-us. russia-us? no, i don t think it affected the market. if anything, the market rallied this week. it fell a little on friday, but essentially unchanged in all of this. unchanged really and the summer is a slow month for the market anyway and earnings coming up that just started. we ll see a pop in the market reactions based on fed meetings or things that happened. neil: you mentioned the fed. what did you make of the president s comments to cnbc of not being a fan of them hiking rates. i don t have a problem with it. and trump looks at himself as the top of the pyramid, the ceo. he looks like it it s his job to give the opinion and twitter is the way he does it. instead of micromanaging. neil: he did this interview and followed up. by the way, other presidents when the rates go up, they talked to their staff members
the republicans blocked it. they ve tried in every way, and the president joined them in undermining this investigation and it s a serious attack on our democracy. neil: so throwing more diplomates out of this country than any of his predecessors. beefing up troops along eastern side of the ukraine, the russian s western side and doing this sort of stuff, none of that shows substance over work? i think the president s statements about vladimir putin, the unwilling necessary to challenge him on the attack on the democracy. neil: it was behind closed, we don t know we don t know what the president said, his own team didn t know. there hasn t been a readout. we know what the president says about vladimir putin. he admires him, calls him a strong leader, never criticized his attack on our democracy. he says he doesn t do it and to believe that over his own intelligence community that unanimously says he did. neil: okay. i think there s a lot of
what do you think? it is. i would argue we got to be focused on technology transfer, the theft of intellectual property and technology that china is so good at with their espionage. i do think this may put more pressure on china and leverage them in the north korean discussions but i ve been very clear as well, as long as chairman brady of ways and means that if we are going to do trade and tariff wars we ve got to be focused on our enemies and not friends and allies like our european nato allies in canada and mexico. neil: so when you hear the president talk about responding and putting tariffs on automobiles, and automobile parts, trucks, et cetera, and no one appears to be budging yet, do you think he should prepare the american people, many of whom are unaware that that s something they directly pay, many think for example, congressman that it s the government that pays that, that he should prepare them for the distinct possibility that they could pay a lot more for a car.
