Sanctuary cities, tariffs, jobs and wages, Trump and Kim Jong Un, Regulate Facebook and YouTube as utilities?

President Trump wants Congress to cut off funds for cities that call themselves "sanctuary cities."

He is also facing opposition from within the Republican Party for his espousal of tariffs on aluminum and steel. Trump is thinking of the well-being of the American worker. The establishment is thinking of their own well-being, which has worked out just fine for them under globalism, while the American worker has suffered!

Jobs are coming back. Wages are going up.

Niall Ferguson is Steve's guest to talk about the Trump/Kim Jong Un get together. Those who are exclaiming "It's a terrible mistake" were saying the same thing when Trump was threatening "fire and fury!" Ferguson credits Trump for applying meaningful pressure on both China and North Korea. In foreign policy, you have to take risks if you face this kind of threat, something Obama did not do! The Chinese are open to the idea of a denuclearized Korean peninsula, and that is the key variable.

Ferguson believes there is a coming clash between the Trump administration and Facebook. Should Facebook and YouTube be broken up by anti-trust legislation, or regulate them as utilities? They are where people consume news.
