MOMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE TO THOSE
FUTURES MARKETS AND THE FUTURES
MARKETS ARE TANKING FOR MOST OF
THE PRODUCTS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HERE AND THAT'S WHY A LOT OF
PEOPLE BEYOND THIS APARTMENT
COMMUNITY ARE WORRIED INCLUDING
THE HOT SHOT CEO'S WITH WHOM
CHARLIE GASPARINO SOCIALIZES
HE'S HERE WHAT ARE THEY TELLING
US?
CHARLIE: I GOT THIS FROM TWO
MAJOR CEO'S FROM MAJOR COMPANIES
I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THEIR
NAMES BECAUSE THEY REGULARLY
SPEAK WITH THE PRESIDENT AND
THEY ESSENTIALLY DON'T WANT A
WAR WITH THE PRESIDENT.
NEIL: YOU'RE AFRAID OF HIM
AREN'T YOU?
NOBODY WANTS TO CRITICIZE YOU TO
YOUR FACE.
>> THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME ON
TWITTER AND THEY HAVE THE WORD
DEPLORABLE NEXT TO IT, BUT IN
ANY EVENT WHAT THESE AIDS SAID
IS THAT ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THEY
WENT DIRECTLY TO TRUMP AND THEY
WARNED HIM ABOUT THE PERILS OF
AIRTIGHT FOR THAT, THAT WAS THE
WORDS THEY USED, AND SAID THAT
IF YOU GO THERE WHICH THE LIKES
LIKE YOU ARE, YOU RISK BOTH THE
STOCK MARKET AND THE ECONOMIC
RECOVERY.
THEY TOLD HIM POINT BLANK, IT'S
L BE MUCH MORE CALMING FOR THE
MARKETS AND THE ECONOMY IF YOU
DO SOME SORT OF A COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH TRUMP
PUSHED BACK AND HE BELIEVED THE
TIT FOR THAT TARIFF AND THEY
HAVEN'T ENACTED IT YET BUT AT
LEAST THE THREATS WAS A
NEGOTIATING EMPLOY HE'S GOING TO
BRING CHINA TO THE TABLE.
NEIL: APPARENTLY UNBEKNOWNST THE
TO MANY IN THE ADMINISTRATION
INCLUDING LARRY KUDLOW SO HE'S
GOING ROGUE AGAINST HIMSELF.
CHARLIE: YEAH, THEY TOLD HIM
DON'T DO THAT.
NEIL: HE'S THE ONE WHO UPPED THE
ANTE.
CHARLIE: SEE SAID I THINK THIS
IS THE WAY YOU MESH WITH CHINA.
NEIL: IT MIGHT WORK.
EVEN JOHN KELLY.
CHARLIE: RIGHT BUT HE BASICALLY
IGNORED THEIR WARNINGS AND NOW
IT'S STARTING TO PICK UP STEAM.
I WILL SAY THIS ABOUT KUDLOW AND
THIS IS INTERESTING AND I'VE NOT
CONFIRMED THIS WITH LARRY BUT
LARRY HAS TOLD PEOPLE, I KNOW,
WHO HAVE TOLD ME DIRECTLY
BECAUSE THAT WAS A DIRECT
CONSERVATION BETWEEN KUDLOW AND
THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH THAT HE
KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTING INTO IN
TERMS OF THE CHINA TARIFFS THING
WALKING IN, THAT BEFORE HE TOOK
THE JOB, HE TOLD PEOPLE, HE GOES
LISTEN, TRUMP IS GOING TO
THREATEN OR MAYBE USE TARIFFS
AGAINST CHINA.
THERE'S NO DOUBT.
HE BELIEVED IT WOULD BE MARGINAL
AND A NEGOTIATING PLOY IS THE
WAY IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME BUT
YOU NEVER KNOW WITH DONALD TRUMP
HE'S A ECONOMIC BLANK SLATE IN A
LOT OF WAYS.
HE NEVER SORT OF ARTICULATED
MACROECONOMIC POLICY IN THE PAST
HE NEVER REALLY HAD A FIRM SET
OF ECONOMIC IDEALS IN THE PAST.
HE WAS NEVER LIKE A GUY THAT
POUNDED THE TABLE FOR TAX CUTS.
MATTER OF FACT HE BELIEVED IN
RAISING TAXES SO I DON'T KNOW
WHY LARRY WOULD BELIEVE THAT --
NEIL: WELL MAYBE HE THOUGHT,
HE'S A START GUY YOU AND I HAVE
KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS.
MAYBE THIS IS A ONE OFF THAT
THIS THING WILL HAVE THE DESIRED
EFFECT BECAUSE THE CHINESE WILL
CAPITULATE ON SOMETHING THE
PRESIDENT WILL DIAL IT BACK AND
I DON'T HAVE TO START WITH MY
POSITION ON TARIFFS ANY MORE BUT
HE MIGHT BE GOING PAST THAT?
CHARLIE: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT
AND THE CEO'S I SPOKE TO, I
CAN'T USE THEIR NAMES I WISH I
COULD, IT WAS JUST THE
CONDITIONS OF MY INTERVIEW,
THESE ARE MAJOR PLAYERS.
NEIL: THEY'RE WORRIED.
CHARLIE: THEY WOULD NOT HAVE
MADE THAT CALL TO HIM.
NEIL: WHAT DO YOU THINK WITH
CHARLES PAYNE SAYS THAT EVERYONE
IS FEELING THIS WAY IT WAS AN
INTERESTING POINT THEN MAYBE
THEY'RE WRONG.
CHARLIE: ABOUT WHAT?
NEIL: THAT IF EVERYONE IS
FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS, THERE
MIGHT BE SOME WISDOM TO THE
PRESIDENT'S APPROACH ON THIS.
CHARLIE: WELL I DON'T KNOW.
I WILL SAY THIS, THAT MY SOURCES
WHO ARE MAJOR MONEY MANAGERS
WOULD SAY THEY DON'T TOTALLY
BELIEVE TRUMP IS GOING TO PRESS
THE NUCLEAR BUTTON ON A TRADE
WAR.
THE MARKET IS GETTING, THEY
