FULL EPISODE: Stock market tumbles, Trump vs. the 'squad'

Season 2019 Episode 58 | 22m 23s

In the wake of bearish economic indicators, the panelists discussed President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, unrest in Hong Kong, and the implications of a potentially weakening economy on the 2020 presidential race. The panel then turned to the president's call on Israel this week to block a visit by two minority female lawmakers, saying it would show "great weakness."
