You should just think about this as being season two of your favourite soap opera. ...

But we begin this hour with the mercurial preside keeping all of us on the edge of our seats with what he could do next on a number of fronts. TRUMP CONTINUES TO THREATEN WAR WITH IRAN IF THEY FAILED TO MEET HIS DEMANDS FOR A NUCLEAR DEAL. HE CLAIMED THIS WEEK THAT A DECISION ON WHETHER TO COMMENCE WITH A MILITARY ATTACK WOULD COME IN THE NEXT 10 TO 15 DAYS.A SECOND American aircraft carrier is already headed to the region. Trump is remaining defiant in the face of the Supreme Court's ruling, striking down ...

The Supreme Court just gave Congress permission to hit the reset button on ceding power to the president. @MaryEllenKlas explains why it shouldn’t waste the opportunity (via @opinion) https://t.co/3L4Jz6aMTf ...

All right, today a defiant Donald Trump claimed that he could bypass the Supreme Court's decision that ruled that his use of the International Emergency Economic POWERS ACT TO IMPOSE TARIFFS WAS ILLEGAL. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE ARE METHODS, PRACTICES, STATUTES AND AUTHORITIES AS RECOGNIZED BY the entire court in this terrible decision, and also is recognized by Congress, which they refer to, that are even stronger than the IEPA tariffs available to me as president of the United TAKE A LOOK AT THE STATES ...

Ryan, among President Trump's first words, deeply disappointing. Talk to us about his reaction in the room and what you asked him about. >> Yeah, I think there's a couple of ways to look at this in Clay.First, how emphatic he was hammering the Supreme Court in a very direct and sometimes personal way, going after a group of Supreme Court justices that he appointed, saying at one point that their families should be ashamed over this decision. He stopped short of saying that he regretted appointing them to th ...

There's been bipartisan criticism by parts. >> Excuse me. >> There's several Republicans have said that.>> Yeah. You just work with Congress to come up with a plan. >> I don't have to to push tariffs. >> I have the right to do tariffs and I've always had the right to do tariffs.It has all been approved by Congress. So there's no reason to do it. All we're doing is we're going through a little bit more complicated process.Not complicated very much, but a little more complicated than what we had. We'll be abl ...

And joining us now is Democratic Congressman Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania He's the ranking member of the Budget Committee. Congressman, great to have you here.

HE SAID HE RAISED TARIFFS ON SWITZER ...
