BLITZER What do you ░░░░░░░░ Democrats should be focusing ░░░░░░░░ in their response later ░░░░░░░░ CARVILLE Well I m ░░░░░░░░ stuff about possible Democratic ░░░░░░░░ during the speech And ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ much of it is ░░░░░░░░ I would urge the ░░░░░░░░ to understand that this ░░░░░░░░ a the most critical ░░░░░░░░ I have seen in ░░░░░░░░ United States in and ░░░░░░░░ m 80 years old ░░░░░░░░ don t remember I ░░░░░░░░ born in the day ░░░░░░░░ the Battle of Leyte ░░░░░░░░ The first kamikaze was ░░░░░░░░ the day I came ░░░░░░░░ this world And this ░░░░░░░░ is actively trying to ░░░░░░░░ the United States and ░░░░░░░░ think we ought to ░░░░░░░░ this moment with real ░░░░░░░░ I think we have ░░░░░░░░ a very good selection ░░░░░░░░ Senator Slotkin to deliver ░░░░░░░░ rebuttal But my advice ░░░░░░░░ either don t go ░░░░░░░░ go and sit on ░░░░░░░░ hands and look grim ░░░░░░░░ the country is in ░░░░░░░░ grim position right now ░░░░░░░░ I hope the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ like that BLITZER Yes ░░░░░░░░ relationship with close allies ░░░░░░░░ who would have believed ░░░░░░░░ the U S and ░░░░░░░░ are doing what they ░░░░░░░░ doing right now because ░░░░░░░░ what the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ leveling against Canada The ░░░░░░░░ prime minister Justin Trudeau ░░░░░░░░ just gave a very ░░░░░░░░ speech addressing President Trump ░░░░░░░░ and the American people ░░░░░░░░ the impact of these ░░░░░░░░ U S tariffs telling ░░░░░░░░ quote You re a ░░░░░░░░ smart guy This is ░░░░░░░░ very dumb thing to ░░░░░░░░ What do you make ░░░░░░░░ this CARVILLE Well I ░░░░░░░░ that as you pointed ░░░░░░░░ The Wall Street Journal ░░░░░░░░ page have accused him ░░░░░░░░ are flummoxed And I ░░░░░░░░ too because I have ░░░░░░░░ to think maybe Donald ░░░░░░░░ hates the United States ░░░░░░░░ it s a very ░░░░░░░░ thing to have Then ░░░░░░░░ at Mexico North America ░░░░░░░░ the past 20 years ░░░░░░░░ been an economic powerhouse ░░░░░░░░ mean if you look ░░░░░░░░ the economic power of ░░░░░░░░ the United States and ░░░░░░░░ it s pretty impressive ░░░░░░░░ I just I don ░░░░░░░░ know because try to ░░░░░░░░ why is he doing ░░░░░░░░ Why is he doing ░░░░░░░░ to Zelenskyy Why is ░░░░░░░░ voting with North Korea ░░░░░░░░ Russia and God knows ░░░░░░░░ in the United Nations ░░░░░░░░ I just can t ░░░░░░░░ it out of my ░░░░░░░░ that I think this ░░░░░░░░ there s some possibility ░░░░░░░░ have to consider the ░░░░░░░░ that our president hates ░░░░░░░░ country People say no ░░░░░░░░ s just full of ░░░░░░░░ or something And that ░░░░░░░░ be true But that ░░░░░░░░ explain why he s ░░░░░░░░ out of his way ░░░░░░░░ hurt the country at ░░░░░░░░ juncture that he can ░░░░░░░░ mean to the point ░░░░░░░░ siding with North Korea ░░░░░░░░ Belarus BLITZER You re ░░░░░░░░ to that United Nations ░░░░░░░░ which the U S ░░░░░░░░ North Korea Belarus Russia ░░░░░░░░ avoiding didn t want ░░░░░░░░ U S under the ░░░░░░░░ Administration didn t want ░░░░░░░░ criticize Russia for its ░░░░░░░░ its brutal invasion of ░░░░░░░░ crosstalk Some Republicans are ░░░░░░░░ out against Trump s ░░░░░░░░ on goods from Mexico ░░░░░░░░ and China Others say ░░░░░░░░ think voters will get ░░░░░░░░ board Listen to what ░░░░░░░░ Congressman Mark Alford said ░░░░░░░░ this Listen to this ░░░░░░░░ starts ALFORD We all ░░░░░░░░ a role to play ░░░░░░░░ this to right size ░░░░░░░░ government And if I ░░░░░░░░ to pay a little ░░░░░░░░ more for something I ░░░░░░░░ all for it to ░░░░░░░░ America right again to ░░░░░░░░ whittling down this 36 ░░░░░░░░ billion or trillion worth ░░░░░░░░ debt that we have ░░░░░░░░ s unsustainable RAJU You ░░░░░░░░ that a lot of ░░░░░░░░ constituents feel the same ░░░░░░░░ they re willing to ░░░░░░░░ a little bit more ░░░░░░░░ Well I think so ░░░░░░░░ ends BLITZER So you ░░░░░░░░ said and I remember ░░░░░░░░ because we were all ░░░░░░░░ in Arkansas in Little ░░░░░░░░ at the time during ░░░░░░░░ Bill Clinton campaign it ░░░░░░░░ the economy stupid So ░░░░░░░░ s your response to ░░░░░░░░ Alford s claims that ░░░░░░░░ won t mind paying ░░░░░░░░ price for these tariffs ░░░░░░░░ Wolf I m trying ░░░░░░░░ take a deep breath ░░░░░░░░ so I don t ░░░░░░░░ out of my chair ░░░░░░░░ start punching my computer ░░░░░░░░ as I recall when ░░░░░░░░ ran he was going ░░░░░░░░ bring grocery prices down ░░░░░░░░ day one And he ░░░░░░░░ going to give relief ░░░░░░░░ the American consumer We ░░░░░░░░ not two what are ░░░░░░░░ six weeks into this ░░░░░░░░ not even that And ░░░░░░░░ he said well you ░░░░░░░░ have to pay more ░░░░░░░░ it s good for ░░░░░░░░ country Did anybody ever ░░░░░░░░ that Then you have ░░░░░░░░ what has to be ░░░░░░░░ of the most colossally ░░░░░░░░ don t know funny ░░░░░░░░ what s the word ░░░░░░░░ it the secretary of ░░░░░░░░ actually suggested people grow ░░░░░░░░ in their backyards to ░░░░░░░░ with the price of ░░░░░░░░ So this is where ░░░░░░░░ are Yes you re ░░░░░░░░ to have to pay ░░░░░░░░ but you re going ░░░░░░░░ like it And if ░░░░░░░░ want to help it ░░░░░░░░ little bit get some ░░░░░░░░ and put them in ░░░░░░░░ backyard It I m ░░░░░░░░ kidding OK We have ░░░░░░░░ this with our own ░░░░░░░░ And I m sitting ░░░░░░░░ this chair just trying ░░░░░░░░ take a deep breath ░░░░░░░░ say a couple of ░░░░░░░░ Marys for strength to ░░░░░░░░ to not just punch ░░░░░░░░ computer in frustration But ░░░░░░░░ is where we are ░░░░░░░░ And we shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ ourselves BLITZER It s ░░░░░░░░ to believe this is ░░░░░░░░ on crosstalk And you ░░░░░░░░ an important point because ░░░░░░░░ the agricultural community in ░░░░░░░░ United States agricultural states ░░░░░░░░ re going to pay ░░░░░░░░ huge price right now ░░░░░░░░ the U S exports ░░░░░░░░ lot of farm products ░░░░░░░░ Canada and Mexico for ░░░░░░░░ matter But that s ░░░░░░░░ to clearly dry up ░░░░░░░░ the face of all ░░░░░░░░ these tariffs and this ░░░░░░░░ war that has developed ░░░░░░░░ the U S and ░░░░░░░░ two neighbors James Carville ░░░░░░░░ so much for joining ░░░░░░░░ Much more news coming ░░░░░░░░ We will be right ░░░░░░░░
