Summary

Hedge fund manager and Hayman Capital Management founder Kyle Bass joins former White House insider and fellow China hawk Steve Bannon to discuss today’s signing of “phase one” of the U.S.-China trade deal. Bass is calling for more humanitarian considerations in the relationship, and Bannon sees the deal as a huge win for President Trump. In his new book “Tightrope,” Pulitzer Prize-winning international journalist Nick Kristof is looking at his own hometown in Oregon as an example of the diverging economic fortunes of America’s working class. Plus, President Trump’s relationship with Apple CEO Tim Cook is evolving, and Beyond Meat is betting on the pea (protein).
