appointed by donald trump in april 2018. he is a native of baltimore, maryland. he graduated from yale with his bachelors in 1970 and graduated from yale law school in 1974. he has dedicated his life to public service serving in key roles for the u.s. department of justice, department of state and u.s. agency for international development. in 2005 he was appointed by the george w. bush as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations. he served as the senior vice president at the american enterprise institution as well as a contributor to fox news. he recognizes the importance for strong national defense and for america's role as a global power in promoting democracy around the world. he lives with his wife and daughter in maryland. we are honored to have him with us. join me in welcoming the honorable john bolton. >> thank you very much. thank you. it is great to be here tonight and i really appreciate the opportunity to be with you and the conference agenda sounds fantastic and i can tell you is a former member myself, back in the day when we are doing it, if we ha

donald trump barely utters a criticism of president xi's domestic policies, even if he doesn't like the trade ones. the reality is hong kong is standing on its own. i don't agree with that, shaun. hong kong is unique for china. we are the only financial centre of the whole of china. shanghai cannot replace hong kong as a financial centre, at least not in the near future. in order to serve this very unique status, it requires freedom of information, freedom of assembly, freedom of movement, and of course, most importantly, we need the rule of law. so if china is not prepared to lose hong kong and make it any other ordinary city of china, then these four essential elements have to be protected and preserved. and so i believe that it will not serve beijing's interests losing hong kong, and especially losing this very, very unique status. alvin yeung, leader of the civic party, member of the legislative council of hong kong, thank you very much for being with us on hardtalk. thank you. hello. in the last couple of days, some of the showers that we've seen breaking out across the uk have bee

donald trump jr. rode this. "people are going to think i'm trolling but compared to what else is up on the stage i think marianne williamson is actually winning this thing. this is amazing. no question she seems to be drawing the biggest applause of the night. if you were asking for and love fest earlier, did you get it? did you get the love fest you were looking for? >> did i get the what that was looking for? >> bill: a love fest. >> did i have a lovefest? yet. some people have said some nice things but remember the way these things go, at the same time people are saying wonderful things, on the other end you could look at social media and say people aren't saying wonderful things. sure, some people really appreciated things i said and even donald trump jr. had some nice things to say. >> bill: thank you for your time, sorry you couldn't hear us so well in detroit. >> thank you. >> bill: marianne williamson. governor mike huckabee joked he would abandon his vote in favor of marianne williamson, does he still f

go big against donald trump and show that's why a majority of democratic voters believe he can beat donald trump and has to prove it again tonight because he didn't prove it in the last debate. >> it's also -- david axelrod, elizabeth warren showing she's a leader, joe biden has to do the same thing. it's not just about plans but showing you're the one to take this on. >> he started off that way. he's the front runner and should prove he has to be the front runner and i think you'll hear more about trump in this debate because you have every candidate of color on this stage. race will clearly come up and given what we've been through in the last few weeks and the direction trump has taken, i would think that's an opportunity for biden and perhaps others to step up and talk about the moment we're in. >> i think that's right. sort of any unlikely alliances that form on stage does kamala harris get some incoming from people like tulsi gabbard and does biden deliver? he said he won't be polite and will he not be able to deliver on these attacks? we'll see tonight. >> pulling up -- >> that's an

we have to worry about how we go about beating donald trump. and to come back to joe biden, it's one of the things a little bit of a conundrum with biden. he is seen as the one who is most likely or best equipped by a lot of democrats to take on donald trump. at the same time, he also has this vision of the republican party, which is a vision that is kind of outdated. i think we can somehow figure out how to do business of the republican party. and that is another problem that he has with this electorate. most democrats look at that and say dude, the democratic party cannot do business with republicans. you can't pretend like that old vision of the republican party still obtains and is going to face challenges on that front too going forward probably tonight on this debate stage and as this campaign progresses. >> danielle, your thoughts about this, just in terms of promises to the voters. i mean people have been promising voter stuff for the whole history of this country they can't deliver. but what i listened to last night, i kept thinking ho

. >> there is a dark side to all of us, and donald trump is ultimate dark side, my favorite, see said, talking about health care reform, all we have to do is get rid of sickness. lou: you can't argue with that. no less achievable than say a hundred trillion. >> everything last night was tax the rich. let everyone in the country for free, given free education. lou: you take them more seriously than i do. there is a -- there is just not a sufficient number of americans who lack the understanding that a hundred trillion dollars and destruction of the american economy is a worth while pathway to nirvana. >> it was a minor figure compared to by end of night, if you added it all up, once they call moderates, those -- >> those radicals add faster than i did. >> they are really left wim win. government takes charge, and doles it out. lou: looking at senator warren, senator sanders, real quickly. they sort of assess things last night. >> medicare for all is comprehensive, it covers all healthcare needs, for senior is citizen is will include dental care, hearing aids and eyeglasses. >> you don'

donald trump is accusing china of waiting until the 2020 u.s. presidential election to strike a trade deal he's threatening to be a lot tougher with beijing if he's reelected trade talks between the world's 2 biggest economies have resumed after stalling in many of the tariffs now firefighters are battling a blaze of an exxon mobil plant near houston in the u.s. state of texas these are live pictures coming from there the city of baytown confirmed on twitter the fire is a unit containing polypropylene material. people living in the vicinity of being told to shelter inside the $50000000000.00 plan to build a rival to the panama canal appears to have sunk it 6 years since the president of nicaragua and the chinese billionaire announced work was starting the project should be well on the way to completion by now but as our correspondent john holeman has been finding out construction workers and nowhere to be seen gloomy doubt. it was meant to be the culmination of a century of nicaraguan dreams the country's very own great canal linking the pacific

is it a progressive or a moderate being placed to defeat donald trump? foremost, you almost expect either political party to air their grievances during a primary process. we are seeing that on display. the tension between centrists and progressives in the democratic party, but the second point i would make is it is rare to have candidates openly saying that some of the policies being espoused by the more democratic-socialist candidates would hand president donald trump a second term election. this all comes down to the voters they are looking to reach. it is the working class voters that the biden campaign says they will be able to win back from president trump. there are other candidates on the stage tonight. i have got my eye on the secretary who lian castro, who had a breakout moment in the first debate in miami when he talked about immigration. how will those policies play on a broader scale in terms of winning back working-class voters? can he positioned himself outside of being a one issue candidate? stakes are high for some of these candidates. t

shoot, i remember when people said donald trump couldn't get elected, but here is where we are! i get it, there is a lot at stake and people are scared, but we can't choose a candidate we don't believe injust because we're too to do anything else, and we can't ask other people to vote for a candidate we don't believe in. democrats win when we figure out what is right and we get out there and fight for it. i am not afraid, and for democrats to win, you can't be afraid either. strong word5 you can't be afraid either. strong words there from elizabeth warren, but barbara, a5 strong words there from elizabeth warren, but barbara, as you mentioned, the second round kicks off today, everyone will be watching front runnerjoe biden. 0f off today, everyone will be watching front runnerjoe biden. of course, that explosive exchange he had last month with kemal harris? that's right stop the joe month with kemal harris? that's right stop thejoe biden is the frontrunner and it's an important debate for him stop he was there 5afe pair of hands that ro5e to the top of the pile because people di

a big part of how we do that is we do not play into donald trump's hands. juan: that was senator elizabeth warren, and before her, montana governor steve bullock. your response? i definitely think it was a different type of debate this time around. hooley andthat julian castro, and last debate, there was a shift in the conversation. i was listening also to the debate around trade policies,s, and d to me it is like how are u not speaking to the ultimate push factors? how are you not speaking -- why is this the reason we are having people coming into the u.s. from countries we have done so much in either because of trade policies or intervening with the government? a lot of these conversations are not coming up. to the sameg back talking points of we need a path to citizenship and to secure the borders. but in reality, there is a lot more to that. president obama was saying the same thing when he was running for president. he came as a democrat, deported millions and millions of people, and now we are in a situation where that machine he created was turned in

donald trump has been putting a lot of pressure. he wanted a higher cut. this is the first cut since the recession and what is interesting is that it was not an unanimous verdict of the federal reserve. there were two governors who didn't agree with this part, and of course, donald trump has his own political agenda. he is soon going to be campaigning to reclaim the presidency, and the reason they give is quite interesting. they say it is the uncertainty stemming from wea kness the uncertainty stemming from weakness in the global economy. and trade tensions. they don't actually say that the us economy is slowing down. probably trump wants the cut to make sure that the us economy keeps moving, but it raises some very disturbing issues on how the fed is being run under the trump presidency. political pressure. if you are trying to escape from politics or any of it at the moment, you might be slightly worried by the times top page story about ba pilots possibly striking at the peak of the summer holidays. it seems so frustrating, i think, summer holidays. it

now is the us venture jerome powell now keep donald trump the us president has been very vocal has any aid calling for lower interest rates absolutely and that's added to the controversy about this move really -- it's unusual because american presidents traditionally don't comment or weigh in on montreat policy and the federal reserve is an independent body. trump though has repeatedly called for lower interest rates arguing that they stimulate economic growth he's also been very critical of the fed chairman who he himself appointed. and even threatened to fire power if you didn't cut rates although it's disputed what the present actually has the authority to do so. but as i said a lot of a lot of controversy over this movie is it too far is it far enough. what we see with the analyst make of it i will have to wait and see what the us president makes of it because he's probably going to react in name them? and a tomorrow anytime. anytimime. thank you very much for that kid movie that. in other news ten off the democrats hoping to unseat donald t trump are set to clasan the second round

donald trump the and based here, he can be the one who can sort of accelerate these talks if he decides he wants to intervene. i think september should be an interesting month for us to see where things are headed. shery: another exciting month. one analyst at morgan stanley saying the lack of progress from these talks confirms that risks toward tariff escalation. could that be the case? we have not seen anything concrete. there is a cause, but it is a very uncertain cause. , but it is a pause pause.ncertain >> absolutely. we do not have any reason to believe trump or china would escalate. trump seems to get impatient and impose new tariffs, so one wonders how much patience he might have. that said, he might not want to newthe economy with terrorists just as he is gearing up his reelection bid, so there is a new wildcard in the mix. : u.s. economics team leader sarah mcgregor, thanks for joining us. friday, we will speak live with the u.s. secretary of state. do not miss that exclusive q&a session hosted by haslinda amin at 10:00 a.m. hong kong time, 10:00 p.m. in new york. ofpite all t

alone is wrong. >> the vice president's argument has been the problem we're facing is donald trump. the reason why trump is there in part is that we were a mess before he got there. >> bennett is betting primary voters might want a moderate like several primary rivals last night with arguments against progressive policy proposals. >> throw your hands up. i can do it! >> john hickenlooper insists that wasn't personal. >> when he throws his hands up it creates this dramatic moment, it's hard not to jump in varied >> tim ryan also tried to challenge sanders on his signature issue, medicare for an members health insurance. >> second of all. >> we will come to you in a second. >> when i rode the bill. >> he didn't right the union contract so there's no way to tell what the union contract is buried >> but progressive's didn't give up any ground. >> just to clarify, would you decriminalize illegal border crossings? >> yes. >> it was tough for candidates to bring through the host network's a rigid enforcement of the rules. >> if we could all stick to the rules of the time, that would be gre

and they need the mainstream america vote if they are going to beat donald trump. liz: common sense mainstream america was watching. they said nobody gave up free stuff. we worked hard to take care of our families. they will have to tax us to pay for their free stuff. >> there is a strong feeling that if bernie sanders had been the candidate instead of hillary clinton going against donald trump, bernie sanders would have beat trump. i am not sure that that's true, but in hindsight everybody said if only we had bernie sanders. fast forward to 2020, and they say we need somebody like that because that's who would have been popular. what i liked about the debate is these three or four candidates were saying to elizabeth warren and bernie sanders come on, show us the numbers, show us how this works. the big losers were the middle progressives like o'rourke and buttigieg. they want to be progressive but they are lukewarm. liz: it's about harris and bind. you wonder if cnn will ask them if they will let prisoners vote before their prison terms are up. >> biden has to com

how will it work when it's donald trump throwing punches? and that's something people are thinking about. >> i think it gave us a glimpse into her personally. how she grew up, what she went through. we don't get a lot from kamala. she is so poised and polished. it is important to remember that most americans are not reading the fine print and deciding which kind of proposal they want, the best. they are looking for a leader, who they trust on this issue. this country right now, we don't even agree that health care is a right. the fact we have all these candidates on the stage trying to get us there, those values that people are going to relate to way more than the fine print. >> it's a person that you believe in, right? what their point of view is. is it enough to have the person you don't believe in be donald trump? >> no. >> so you're going to vote for whomever? or does joe biden need to excite people? >> donald trump is going to drive the turnout because people are disgusted at everything he's done. you have to lead. i keep seeing the deb

i p promise no matter who our candidate is, i wilill work my heart out to beat donald trump and to elect a democratic congress. reporter: 10 more democrats will debate each other on wednesday. it will be some time still before the party chooses a candidate to try and unseat trump in the 2020 elections. brent: here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. a new york court has held a hearing in the case of financier jeffrey epstein w who is acaccud of sex trafficking. prosecutors are seeking a trial date next summer, but epstein's lawyers have requested more time. the former high-profile body manager is accused of paying girls toecruit undnderage victims for sex at his manhattan mansion and other locations. wild fires are burning millions of land in the center and east of russia including siberia. the military is being called to aid thousands of firefighters. experts say the fires were caused by thunderstorms s that t during abnormally high temperatures, then later spread by strong winds. the african union has condemned the killing of four student oppos

donald trump has been rebuked as racist by the u.s. house. he's been called out by civil rights leaders across is the nation recently and his new approach is to blame everyone else. >> i think the word has really gone down a long way because everybody's called a racist now. i'm the least racist person there is in the world. >> critics note trump uses that exact line as a taunt. he doesn't appear to believe it or expect most others to given that he entered politics pushing the birth err conspiracy, ran for the presidency on a ban that was so discriminatory his own lawyers claimed he never tried to enact it and now these attacks with minority members. of congress. as a political project, trump's figured out how to you appeal to some americans' desire to go back in time. hence the plagiarized reagan slogan" make america great again and the echoes of nixon's appeals to law and order. there are those hose argue that trump has corrupted those otherwise acceptable types of appeals that those words could mean something different in trump's hands. tha

trump, who wanted to see more aggressive action by those here. boris johnson faces his first electoral test for a parliamentary constituency tomorrow, when voters go to the polls in the brecon and radnorshire by—election. it was triggered after a recall petition unseated the conservative mp chris davies after he was convicted of a false expenses claim. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. it has got all the signs of a standard by—election. good morning. hi, chris davies, good to see you. candidates vying for every vote. but the outcome of this contest could have consequences well beyond this constituency. the tories last held this seat, but the liberal democrats, always strong here, are hoping for a win now. well, if i'm elected, the first thing i would do is demand that a no—deal brexit is taken off the table. to give the lib dems the best chance, plaid cymru and the green party aren't standing here, a remain alliance tested, where a majority voted to leave. lots of people voted remain, as well, and people have changed their m

what's the contract, how are -- what's the contrast, how are wea going tot donald trump? i agree with amy. i think biden is going to get a lot of the attention, people are going to be focusing on him tonight escially after the last debate, but i also want to say that i don't think we're going to see much change after tonight. i think the third debate, the one in september in houston, where the fieldnill, youw, whittle down a bit. i don't think we'll have mo than one debate, i think that's where we'll see movement with renumbers and how people standing in this race. >> i'll give you the last word, stu. >> biden and biden, he's the leading progressive pragmatist. , is -- if he falters, which is certainly possib will create an opening for somebody else to take that place because this is a party that's split, that wants toin but with a certain agenda. >> stu rothenberg, karine jean-pierre, and amy walter. thanks to you all. >> certainly. >> oodruff: air force general john hyten was nominated in april by presidentrump to become vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. but h

louis a prescott since the recession, yes, donald trump should not be putting pressure on them because as you say they're independent but it's interesting, that the fed was not unanimous on this, to members who voted against it was interesting what they said that the uncertainty of the economy and simmering trade tensions, surely they do mean —— they don't mean brexit at the potential of that tension with china but it'll be interesting to see more cuts leading up to election because the us economy is slowing down, donald trump should be wary he's facing another election and he wants to see the economy going up. accidents i mean higher interest rates go down it was a global impact? what's really worrying here is that it does seem as if there has been some political interference with the supposedly independent central bank policy. and the reasons given for those rates aren't so much to deal with what's happening in the us. it's about global uncertainty and global trade tensions, normally monetary policy should be run for the on economy and yes, it's true inflation pressures are quite

donald trump came to power on the back of that powerful slogan "build the wall." he has now been in office two and half years and ire onsible for next to nothing being built. steve: he's been fighting for this from day one but it is the permanent political class he has been fighting, the courts he has been fighting, and obviously the progressive democrats, open-borders types, understand that this will be central to the 2020 election.hi they are foughevery step of the way. jon: the other charge against the president is that the way he does this is racist. steve: i thinkhat is all -- that is the mainstream media just blowing it up. if you come down here and talk to the local people, it is thein crime brought here, ok? it is the competitn for jobs being brought here. it is actually antiracist. what president trump is trying to do is protect african-american and hispanic workers and people in these cities.en jon: hang on, he president talks to four american congresswomen who have got backgrounds from abroad and say you should go back to your y,own couns that racist? s

our bill mirrors the directives outlined in executive order 13807 issued by president donald trump on august 24, 2017, and would establish greater discipline and accountability in the environmental review and permitting process for infrastructure projects. more specific, it would prohibit e.p.a. from vetoing a corps of engineers flood control project specifically authorized by congress. this is a basic constitutional principle of separation of powers. further, upon enactment, it would immediately nullify any prior veto determinations made by e.p.a. if said actions had resulted in severe flooding and damage to life and property. in closing, the arguments i have heard in opposition to this project are not valid. pumps will save lives. property, local infrastructure, wildlife, and the environment. as we are here going about our daily lives, enjoying the comfort of the home we will return to today after work, these mississippians are just trying to get through the next 30 minutes to keep their sanity and emotions intact. the real-life experiences mississippians have endured over time tell

president donald trump he's repeatedly pushed for a larger interest rate cut in fact saying today that fed chairman jerome powell had let him down. jerome paul's delivery was in line with the dry and factual tone fed chairman have always displayed yet there was a hint of caution as he explained the committee's decision to cut the benchmark rate for the 1st time in over a decade for the federal funds it is intended to insure against downside risks from weak global growth and trade policy uncertainty to help offset the effects these factors are currently having on the economy and to promote a faster return of inflation to our symmetric 2 percent objective that trade policy uncertainty would be the result of u.s. president trumps ongoing fights with china the e.u. and even his north american neighbors any criticism of trump's policies might have been inappropriate for a fed chairman but trump himself had on relentlessly attacked the fed's policies demanding larger rate cuts to support pledging to act as appropriate to sustain the expansion of the fed signaled possible future rate cuts for

. >> every credible poll i've seen has me beating donald trump. >> hillary clinton was winning in the polls to . we talked about taking private health insurance away from union members and the industrial midwest.we talked about decriminalizing the border. we talked about giving free healthcare to undocumented workers when so many americans are struggling to pay for their healthcare. i quite frankly do not think that is an agenda that we can move forward on and win. >> joe biden and harris will be the center of attention, there are eight others going to anastacia. and one said he would yell over them he has to. but he added in all seriousness, he thinks the debate format allows for new voices to make their way into the conversation. entrepreneur, andrew yang is directing differently he's wearing a tie or did to the walk-through. after he did not wear a tie on stage in miami. [laughter] >> all right, we'll see if that helps! hilary, thank you. robert a question, did the antibusiness message of bernie take a real hit last night? >> you know i was obviously an agreement with a lot of what

trump and frankly it is not -- it is about more than donald trump. cory talks about this a lot. we'll have to clean up a lot of mess when he's gone and cory is the best candidate to take him on and the best candidate to mix what is broken and what he will leave in his wake. >> let's do plus minus on tactics. i get why he wants to talk to the former vp about his past and the crime bill and different policies but every moment that he's going at biden, while it might benefit him within the field and might buzz we saw some weird poll rebounds after the harris debate with biden, it's a moment not talking about the person who he really blames for racial disparity and toxicity right now which is the president of the united states. how do you balance? >> first it is fair to compare recordsme records and that is what this campaign is all about and i heard bakari talking about that before i came on and as much as the biden campaign might want it, this campaign is not about joe biden and the ten people on the stage and the best candidate to represent the democr

i can take on donald trump. elizabeth warren saying my strength is i make the moral argument, and i will make the moral argument i'm the one to take him on. i think that's what people are doing. i don't think it means you run the risk -- i think the voters are skeptical whothat warren wi win. but everybody is just trying to get themselves through the eye of the needle like who's the one that can really do this? >> from a candidate standpoint, if you've got doubt among voters, can this person beat donald trump, you're not going on stage with him, you're on stage with nine other democrats, how can you use the occasion to convince voters, yeah, this is someone who can take out trump. >> so many candidates are trying to make the case they are electable and they can beat donald trump, it reminds me of the 2016 republican primary and it was the reverse and candidates were trying to prove they could beat hillary clinton. i think there's only so far this electability argument can go because you've got to have enough pas

. >> is anyone setting themselves up for the ability to beat donald trump? democrats have fought between their head and her heart. their head says they need is someone with a more centrist profile. their heart is telling them they like something like bernie sanders or elizabeth moran. they like the policies they espouse. the progressive agenda. does the head or the heart win? previously, democrats have gone with a heart and they have lost. george mcgovern, hubert humphrey, mike dukakis. the question is in this election cycle, do they pick the head over the heart and that my put them in a better position to beat donald trump. >> i want to ask you about the debate format and get your thoughts on whether you think this is a constructive way to get the 20 candidates out onto the stage splitting them up across two different nights where you don't even have the top contenders on the same stage. >> this is a tough one. i don't know that there is any other way to do it. you may recall in 2016 there was a large field on the republican side. theyhad two debates but ha

when he left the white house and was critical of some of the people around donald trump and donald trump himself. he took to twitter and blasted him as being crazy. so i think this is steve bannon looking back and analysing some of the strategies that he has and it does highlight some of his views as important way to win the election and the pipeline to the inner sanctum of the white house and thatis inner sanctum of the white house and that is long since dried up. this man, vg siddhartha was known as the coffee king of india. he founded what became india's largest coffee chain, cafe coffee day — but he's been found dead in unexplained circumstances. police says his body was found by a fisherman near a river here in the southern city of mangalore. it's still unclear what happened — but a letter was sent to his company's board of directors with a signature mr siddhartha's family say is genuine. in it the businessman said he was in debt, saying: cafe coffee day was founded in 1996. it now has about 1750 cafes across india. its first outlet wooed customers by offering them free internet

just because he's 100 percent behind it you know i haven't seen that clearly donald trump has shaken things up there's no question about it he's gotten off a bit more than that is not my only allies to sit up and take notice because he was very concerned about the lack of fair burden sharing inside the alliance and he wanted allies to pay more in his inimitable way he got everybody to pay attention to the necessity of putting more money into their defense budgets chancellor angela merkel said last year that there were good reasons to continue fighting for the transatlantic relationship but we had it she added we can't count on it anymore. well i i'm sorry she feels like that we don't feel like that in the 1st house of representatives they had so little confidence in chumps intentions towards nato that last year they had to pass a law with bipartisan support stating that is u.s. policy to remain a member of nato prohibiting funds to be used to withdraw from the alliance so little pontin's do they have in the president's commitment to nato her a i saw that as a great expression in wash

liz: donald trump has been rightly championing strong gdp. here he says q2 gdp up 2.1%, not bad considering we have heavy weight of the federal reserve anchor wrapped around our neck, almost no inflation, usa is set to zoom. those aren't exactly the circumstances under which you cut rates. >> now, well, it depends. we are in the middle of a trade problem. it's not quite a trade war. it's like a cold war in trade, you know. we're not exactly at each other's throats but there's cross-currents of tariffs going on. it's not just china. it's globally. that is having an impact on our gdp. you can see that in sort of business investment and in other areas. i'm just saying that, you know, it had its impact in december when he started really racheting up rates both on the long and short end, and now we recovered a bit and he's starting to cut rates again. you know t real problem with this economy, liz, the bottom line is this, it's not rate driven. it's all about trade. if you are worried about gdp and the markets, corporate earnings, they have come d

the reality is that when donald trump won, 100 million americans did not vote, 60-plus million people that voted, voted against him. midterms record defeat, lost -- democrats are mobilizing. alexandria ocasio-cortez, they represent the ground swell of everyday people's reactions to trump. >> we are looking ahead to tonight with joe biden. you have another moderate. what do you expect from him. >> to be prepared for the race questions. kamala harris and corey booker, trying to attack him. i think it's a losing strategy for him. he is polling at 1%, even with black people, kamala harris not doing well with african americans. joe biden is. what works for kamala the first time cannot work a second time. if she acts desperately, accusing him of race and busing and kamala will exponentially sink. >> she has to do what? >> articulate our own per spective and vision in the same way elizabeth warren did. kamala harris won the second night. she cannot do it by surprising joe biden in the way she did on the roadside the first time. this time he is prepared and got push back in terms of governanc

i won by 4. 25 to 30% of my voters voted for donald trump. but i think it's a false choice if we're talking about do we bring out our base or get those obama/trump voters back? we have to do both. when we talk about progressive like at the core of the word progressive is actually making processive. i'd take my record of getting dark money out of elections, just actually won a lawsuit yesterday against the trump administration. >> yeah, i saw that. congratulations. >> yeah. thank you. take that record of investing in education, freezing college tuition, on health care and so many other areas, against anybody else in this field. i think washington, d.c.'s often become a place where doing or sponsoring bills putting together the plans that may only go as far as the press release, that's become the substitute for getting things done. and i think americans expect us to actually get things done that'll impact their lives. >> so, governor, i do got to ask you this question, though. you say you're angling for both types of voters, but do you risk ali

donald trump failed as a businessman. he borrowed billions and left a trail of bankruptcy and broken promises. he hasn't changed. i started a tiny investment business, and over 27 years, grew it successfully to 36 billion dollars. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. i'm running for president because unlike other candidates, i can go head to head with donald trump on the economy, and expose him fo what he is: a fraud and a failure. four zero expense ratio index funds directly to investors. and now we have zero account fees for brokerage accounts. at fidelity, those zeros really add up. ♪ so maybe i'll win, saved by zero ♪ >>> one of last night's hottist topics, especially when this question came up. does universal also mean undocumented people coming into america. when i talk about health care, it's a human right that applies to all people in this country. and under a medicare for all single pair system, we could afford to do that. >> we got 100,000 people showing up at the border right now, if we decriminalize,

critics argue that a rate cut will not help and that the fed is pandering to president donald trump, who had demanded a big cut. our business correspondent in washington michelle fleuryjoins me now. what is expected and what impact will it have? this cut was certainly very expected, everyone knew the federal reserve at this particular meeting was going to announce a rate cut, and almost everyone was expecting it to happen by a court of a percentage point. now what this means is that it makes it cheaper for people and especially businesses, to borrow money. but because at this list of expected and we had sort of known about it for many months, the impact has already sort of been a debate and. so when you look at the us financial markets, they already knew this was going to happen, so they already knew. and that's what we call priced and. lots of people commenting on the politics of this, and how much this is about president trumpeting pressure on the fed. there is no question be us president has been a very vocal critic that the federal reserve and its chair. this is not something tha

well donald trump is accusing china of waiting until the 2020 u.s. presidential election to strike a trade deal he's threatening to be a lot tougher with beijing if he's reelected trade talks between the world's 2 largest economies have resumed after stalling in may overtime ruths when he has more from shanghai. before this meeting there wasn't a lot of hope that we would see any significant outcome from that as it was the meeting on wednesday lasted just a few hours it was though held in a fairly positive fashion according to reports some of that positivity may have been affected though before this latest round of negotiations took place because the u.s. president donald trump took to twitter again saying that he felt that the chinese may want to drag these negotiations out beyond the next presidential election in the united states next year he said that after he wins reelection any deal that he offers the chinese at that stage may not be as good as the one he is offering now no chance of course that the chinese delegation would feel pressured by th

to commentould like on the democratic party's tactics of dealing with donald trump over the past several years and the upcoming election. radical, andcan be their responses are even more --ical, control faction of the democratic party which takes it more extreme but the bottom line is, what they are fighting for does not resonate with people. whatever what party -- no matter what party or the federal reserve announcing today it is cutting interest rates by a quarter of percent, the first cut since 2008. the federal reserve chairman powell holding it on c-span. the outlook for the u.s. economy remains terrible, and this action is designed to support the outlook. from weak global growth and to promote a faster return of inflation to our symmetric 2% objective. objectives will support achievement of our overall goal, to sustain for the benefit of the american people. conclude theed to runoff of our securities portfolio rather than and september as previously planned. i will discuss the thinking behind today's interest rate reduction and then turn to the path forward. as the year began, both
