I hate it when youre not here, but things happen. Maria be the day yesterday. A lot of earnings. Policy coming down the pike. Taxes, trade. Dagen top story in the journal about the terrifying the canadian lumber. Top story. Is crazy these days because the top story was taxes paid the 15 tax rate and within a few hours today shifted to blame canada new tariffs on lumber. It denies to make you forget the government might shut down at the end of the week. Thats not a story because trump signaled he was going to give a little bit on the border wall to make sure the government doesnt shut down. Dagen and Media Press Releases from nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Thanks for weighing in. Maria they are happy is willing to put the border wall aside for this week. Is not a complete border wall. We will learn more about what he plans to do. We are not talking 2000 miles even in this maximum land. Maria depending where you live, there are ways people are talking about to build a wall but its not a cement wall. We will talk about that. Weve got a great lineup of guests to weigh in. General jack keane is with us this morning. Texas congressman is here to talk with him about the border wall. Secretary health and Human Services and the beaded dr.

That show ahead. Do stay with us. They cannot markets. Futures on the rise as President Trump is prepared to unveil the broad outlines of his tax reform plan. Treasury secretary Stephen Mnuchin and gary cohen said to me at the top congressional leaders today to discuss the tax priorities. He says the wall street journal reports this morning the president wants to cut the Corporate Tax rate to 15 even if doing so as to the deficit. Take a look at secretary mnuchins comments on this. He teased the tax thing yesterday. Watch. The average american should be able to do their taxes on a large postcard. Business tax reform. We need to make business tax is competitive and we actively not we will bring back trillions of dollars from offshore. The tax plan will pay for itself with Economic Growth. Maria lets talk about this tax plan. During the campaign, all the president talked about, that was sorted the guts guts of the plan. But then over the last several months, we would again maybe paul ryan was running out and is more like 20 . It includes a would see a 15 Corporate Tax cut. The president has a very narrow lane to drive in. In order to get the 15 tax rate, we talked about how hell accept that this is to get, but the problem is the way the legislative process works you cant have deficits outside of a 10 year window to get to the 15 . Congress has to find offsets to the revenue they get lost when you go to 15 . The president doesnt like the opposite they are proposing this border adjustment. Not a lot of room for him to work with. What we see today is hes becoming an asian kid who wants to get instead. I want you out with a plan next week. Maria as we approach 100 days. True to his entire agenda is about growing an economy that has been stagnant that is not automatic 3 rate in the last 10 years. This is far critical to the economy in terms of job creation even than rolling back obamacare and replacing it. This is his progrowth agenda and thats why its critical. Pcs to brian brady tax played with the border adjustment and it any of Congress People like marcia bought heard on this program saying i cant sell that to mike and achievements. Thats why hes pushing this even though its going to cost 2 trillion. Everything with donald trump is an opening position. 15 is an opening position. He wants as much as the kennedys taken its place and is taking its place in this Republican Debate about how much you can cut taxes versus how much you in greece deficit. Republicans almost always come down on cutting taxes to stimulate more growth and the idea would pay for itself. You heard Stephen Mnuchin say the same thing. Its a 15 . I really dont think so. You both hit on a critical point which is how much growth can you get out of the lower tax rate . The same 3 . Mnuchin said it again yesterday. A lot will come down to how Congress Urges this in the joint committee on taxation, the Congressional Budget Office judges this. If they dont see a 3 , youll not get enough revenue to pay for the lower rate. True through projections are much easier for Corporate Tax and individual tax code. Half of the American People dont pay no federal income tax anyway. America has not cut Corporate Taxes. Many other developed nations are. Even macron wants to cut the Corporate Tax to 25 . Prices including state and local 39. 1 . How much growth to get out of lowering it . Maria thats going to be the question because growth has been his priority throughout his economic conversation here. But it could be raising revenue somewhere else. But we sat down two weeks ago he said i dont like the border adjustment tax, but maybe its a reciprocal tax. He was talking about raising revenue somewhere has continued to take tough approach on trade. The Trump Administration said it plans to slap new tariffs on softwood lumber in the United States and canada. One white house official says the tax could go as high as 24 . What about that in terms of raising money that way through the trade and Economic Policy. Im not sure that in this case the tariffs are a way for them to raise money. It is a way for them to trump has been saying this is his campaign, to the fact that other countries with intricate united descent fairly. This is the opening shot in their strategy. When they see countries they think that dumping products whether its deal from china are manufacturing goods from mexico were lumber from canada, they are going to have that. Maria thats a whole mother way to raise revenues is what im saying. With the whole conversation of the border adjustment tax cut and subcommittee goes directly to this. I dont know if you could do enough of that on a casebycase basis. The border adjustment heads all imports. This canadian lumber fight is a fight now in its 200th year. Kind of an easy one for him to do. One great thing about taxes. He is going to attack about individual rates. Top rated 25 . This whole stephen jon mnuchin u could do it on the no card. A really, really big no card. Dagen one thing about the lumber. Americans could feel this. The cost of homes could go out. Homebuilders has coupled with higher labor costs since the housing crash. This is one place by the way, supply is extremely tight right now, particularly if you look at existing homes. We need more supply. You have to ask the question is this good in the way of Home Construction in the United States does that make it prohibitively marks the dividing americans have been priced out. Maria as the industry is gaining traction. One more point about growth. Not for tax cuts to get growth they have to be permanent. That means you got to find a way to get that extended beyond this 10 year window Congress Talks about. They sunset after 10 years. Which is that the bush tax cut day. A big argument in 2011 about extending the bush tax cut and almost all of them were. Maybe its not a terrible idea because down the line but keep it. Maria big as some of this. Well hear about this the next two days. Yesterdays Market Reaction i know was partly the french result, did you think it was also part of this, 200point rally in the stock market yesterday. Was it all the French Election question are there is a sense of relief across the United States. Dagen or the crazy leftwingers. Or coalition of both. It was mostly is started in europe. Didnt start here. Maria a watch that for sure. Whole foods share with her part of a possible takeover. We will check that out of the potential good coming out.

Maria that tells you is that domestic growth story when you see small caps in the Domestic Companies doing really well. Do you think thats the best approach . Use in emerging markets do really well in this rally. Is that Global Growth story behind this as well. What we saw yesterday was the risk on trade. The market is back. Dagen field is is still below 2. 3 which is painfully low in terms of the rally we had from march 1st until recently. Maria youd think that is reflecting a weak economic story. Or low inflation.

Average rate on a sixyear mortgage declining 4 for the First Time Since november according to freddie mac. Cofounder and managing director of digital breath, jeff taylor. Thanks for joining us. Your Mortgage Association board board member. Rates with member. Great so they lowered even the lyrics to the season to pick up terms of business. Will tell you what, its a great opportunity if youre looking to buy a high spirit if you told me rates to be higher a month ago i wouldve said theres no shot. The set of signaling to do with the rest of the year. A great opportunity for people of the Housing Market right now became a firsttime purchase. True to do you think rates keep going lower . Why are we swear they are questioned or a little bit of international volatility at right now it dipped back down. I dont think it goes somewhere. Definitely rises up here in a couple weeks. If you are thinking on the sidelines, thinking about why the house, it do not think rates will get lower. To actually rise the next few months and ended the year. Are you saying that dignity of the refinance at the market or in the purchaser end of that market . You know, great question. We just recently did a survey on homeequity loans and shows a couple interesting statistics. One, homeequity loans at the highest point since 2007. The support they, people are using them responsibly. 50 to improve houses. A couple other points we saw. One of five people dont understand what a homeequity loan is an 80 of the habitat them. If you look at the harvard study that came out last week that shows remodeling is that an alltime high, that means people are looking to improve the existing house they have right now and homeequity loan is a great way to do that at 4 versus credit card is 17 . I wanted to ask him to does this mean that people are less afraid of debt now or they are just more likely to use it for more serious or persist . How afraid are people now batting that to their existing mortgages question or thats a great question. On the survey, are the 2 said they were fearful of any fearful of that event because fearful of any dead because of adjustable rising rate Interest Rate environment. Its like everything else. That if used responsibly is a very good thing. When you use a copy during the crisis, taking equity out of your house, thats a recipe for disaster. User meaningful things like Home Improvement or lifestyle event, like a medical bill is a very responsible tool. You talk about meaningful things like Home Improvement. During the housing boom was saw people pouring money into mansions, adding all kinds of bells and whistles on their homes and in the end they could afford. Isnt there a risk we get back into the environment of people blowing up their houses in two these mansions that are ultimately not going to pay off for themselves . Yes. To party in syria. The crisis a lot of it is loans were securitized. With Due Diligence that was being done on them. Was it merely steep as it is today with the banks but those on balance sheets. They are very much monitored with atlantic and where it goes. The second thing right now its across america right now, sales are at alltime lie with houses, price or she should. People can sell their house to minnesota to an crucified silent or would they want to live the poor bunny response to bleed into their house. Dagen is that the danger that you take out a homeequity loan, home equity line of credit in Pentagon Office in treatment of people have been haunted to believing for every dollar improvement they get a 2dollar resort dollar 50 cents increase in the value of their home. In many instances, that is not the case. Thats a very good point. Again, taking out the money to improve the houses got to be consistent with what you can afford. If you are doing it because you think to improve the hospital at the house to make a profit, that the wrong reason to take it out. Take it out because you want to make improvements to the house. Here that there is a long one for your overall financial picture you can afford to pay the period thats the key to life are taken. Maria do think taking out a new Kitchen Remodeling adds to the value of the house . Absolutely. Maria we are having this debate. Whether or not putting up the money to the house to redo the kitchen or put a pool in the house, does that really matter. If you can take a home at the loud, that means a lot to you and it will definitely could increase the value of the house. With your overall financial picture question or can you afford a question or i dont think dagen believes it. Weve had this discussion before. You dont think it matters. Pools can decrease the value of your home. Particularly if you had tried to sell the home to parent. It just depends how much money you spend on it. If you cannot sell your house because the kitchen is from 1965, im kidding. But not the problem. Remodel the kitchen and someone else comes in. They rip out the kitchen you spent thousands of dollars on. Thats kind of right. Talking about a homeequity loan because youre looking to improve the house because you are looking to flip it or sell it. That is one statement. If youre looking at it because i want to be here the next 10 to 15 years it means a lot to me and i could afford it, thats the proper use. Maria in 10 years later you need something else. If anybody wants a kitchen that looks like the one in bewitched, when bewitched was like in light of the pull of styles, ive a house for you. Just tailored shirt in us. When we come back, the threat of earth korea, the white house summoned the ball 100 senators for a rare White House Briefing amid the growing can parents. Rising tensions to report next. A Driverless Cars to deliver. Back in a moment. We asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. Travel with my daughter. Roller derby. Now give up half of em.

Tesla not the only story in the auto world this morning. Technology tightness amazon hitting drive in technology, we will tell you where they are on that. Can you hear this . National phone day today. What that means coming up. Top stories this half an hour, heightened tension with north korea, conducting live fire drills this morning as the u. S. Nuclear powered submarine sits docked right now in south korea. Meanwhile President Trump summoning the entire senate on the white house to brief them on the north korean situation. This is u. S. Embassador Nikki Haley Says we are not looking to go to war here. Its a new day when you have china and the United States working together on a statement to condemn north korea. They put measure on him. He feelses it and thats why hes responding and its a different day. What i said and will continue to say, the United States is not looking for a fight so dont give us a reason to have one. Maria joining us right now fox news military general jack keane ,. Good to see you, maria. Maria is north korea looking for a fight . That would mean a loss of their regime n my view. This belligerence and developing Ballistic Missile that is could be weponized with Nuclear Weapons certainly a very dangers and provocative act on our part and its got our attention and the chinese attention and embassador hailey who is a rising star said exactly right. Certainly we dont want to have a fight with north korea. What mr. Trump has said, if necessary, i will because hes not going to permit the North Koreans to have the potential to launch a Nuclear Weapon at our basis in the pacific, at our allies. Maria why is this person taunting us this way . What do you think hes trying to say with the provocations . Well, hes done something that his predecessor didnt really do. His father and grandfather got Nuclear Weapons to preserve the regime. They can deliver from an airplane to south korea, that was the whole thoughtprocess, what he has done is accelerated the development of Ballistic Missiles, medium range. He has landbase medium Ballistic Missiles and hes trying to develop intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. I think in the back of his mind, the more offensive power that he has that he can demonstrate the more concessions, he will get from the United States and china. Maria i think President Trump is trying to tell a different story, right, with his readiness . Well, the president is doing the right thing here. President obama strategic patience was the name but it was do nothing and that just mystified our allies, intimidated our allies quite a bit, south korea and japan in particular. We have we reassured our allies from Vice President pence and secretary tillerson and mattis that we have got your back, we will not let this get out of hand and certainly President Trumps own actions have demonstrated that and clearly he has made the first breakthrough in some time with china. We have given china our diplomatic football to run wit and to see if they can work the North Koreans, denuclearize and stand down this Ballistic Missile program. Maria thats certainly a big victory given the fact that three president s had tried to get china engaged in this conversation and was unable to do so. Let me ask you about the war on terrorism, general, the top u. S. General in afghanistan seemed to confirm yesterday that russia is supplying weapons to the taliban. He did not dispute the claim when asked about it while speaking along secretary defense jim mattis, do you believe that the kremlin is supporting supporting the taliban . Absolutely. They are supplying them with weapons, they are using the iranians mostly to get those weapons into afghanistan from the west and from the south, the iran apes are allied with the russians in syria and theyre allied with the russians here pushing against the United States and the afghan support government in support of the taliban. The russians have taken a much more aggressive stance and thats why the general is bringing it up and secretary mattis. What they come to realize is that the United States seems to be permanently stationed in afghanistan and they recent having the United States in their southern border like that as a sphere of influence in southern asia. Iranians have always had that feeling and thats why they worked against the United States efforts. Now because its 16 years later, they are pushing us, they want us out of there. Maria it gets complicated there, its true. The Trump Administration seems to be sending a strong message to syria following the chemical weapons attack, bashar alassad, financial sanctions on 271 employees of a Research Center thought to be responsible for developing the saran gas that killed dozens of people. The United States is sending a strong message with this action that we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons by any actor and we hold assad regime accountable for unacceptable behavior. Maria was this the right move on 271 people . Yeah, i mean, we have done this before, President Trump did it in 2005 against the same organization, the Research Center and other toxic chemicals, frankly, we did it in 2007, most of these people are not policy people but they are people actively engaged in the development of this toxic chemical. I think what we are doing to them, none of them have investments in the United States that can be determined, we are not going to be able to access them or freeze them but send message to them. By name, they are committing a war crime and subject to International Criminal prosecution and i think holding them accountable by name is probably the most we are going to get out of that. We are a country that has strong moral values, europeans feel the same way. We have to stand up against the use of weapon of has destruction like this on innocent people. We have to be accountable to take that kind of a stand. Maria what would you say then are President Trumps victories in this first 100 days as it relates to foreign policy, then general . I think its mostly a winwin in the National Security arena. What happens to a president as he takes office, he has a domestic agenda, he has to get that going, he needs to cooperation of the congress to do that, we see how some of that is frustrated here but the world has a way of coming to 1600 pennsylvania avenue, it happens to every single president postworld war ii and dramatically so and it happens to this president and the way he has handled north korea, the action he took in syria, reassuring our allies all around the world that despite the rhetoric of the campaign and opposing nato and criticizing specific countries, he is reassured all of those allies out thereto that the United States is back on the world stage as a Global Leader exercising responsible, decisive and i think moral leadership once again. Maria yeah, i think that sentiment has resinated throughout. General, good to see you as always. Thank you so much. Good talking to you, maria. Maria take a short break. When we come back, tesla leading the charge. Electric car maker plan to go nearly double the stations, what the move means for the company, coming up. Celebrating the evolution of the cell phone on National Cell phone day today. Back in a minute if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, and youre taking warfarin, you have the choice of a different kind of blood thinner. Pradaxa helps stop blood cells from pooling in the heart, forming a clot which can cause a stroke in the brain. In a clinical study, pradaxa was better than warfarin at reducing stroke risk. And in the rare case of an emergency situation, when seconds matter, theres the only fdaapproved reversal treatment made for people taking pradaxa that helps you clot normally again. Dont take pradaxa if youve had a heart valve replacement or have abnormal bleeding. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor, as stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. Tell your doctor before any planned medical or dental procedure, or before stopping pradaxa. Pradaxa can cause serious, but rarely fatal bleeding. Seek immediate medical help with signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if youre 75 or older, have kidney problems, stomach ulcers, a bleeding condition, or take certain medicines. Side effects can include indigestion, stomach pain, upset or burning. Ask your doctor about pradaxa and its reversal treatment available nationwide. Maria welcome back, the rally moves on.

Maria medicine goes mobile, social network that has doctors consulting smartphones for a second opinion. There you go, phones and health care, big combination, the future of health care with technology. Were on to you, diabetes. Times up, insufficient prenatal care. And administrative paperwork. Your days of drowning people are numbered. Same goes for you, budget overruns. And rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. Were coming for you, too. For those who wont rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. Optum. How well gets done. Maria welcome back, establishing a healthy connection, doximity, largest social media form for physicians which allows them to secure patient information securely and collaborate with patient care. Jeff, good to see you, thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me, maria. Maria how does social media help in the medical field . Social media has changed how we communicate every day, look at this table but doesnt change how doctors communicate because there are hippa laws. Just a few blocks away here new york presbyterian paid 7 billion for using emails like that. We provide a free secure platform for doctors to communicate about the patient and today 72 of all u. S. Physicians are doing it and they are talking about million patient cases every year. Maria how do you get the doctors to buy in, how do you get 72 of the doctors to use this . Doctors are very busy people, mainly for us is about saveing physicians time. We make it a lot easier, we let them sign authorizations right there on their phone, we make it so they can call patients from the cell phone and have the patients see the office when theyre call sog they know its their doctor calling, its simple utilitarian tools to save them time. Jon how about finding patients to talk about doctors, one of the biggest problems is hard to find right doctor for the condition that you might have . The 72 of u. S. Physicians a lot of them is use today find the right sub specialist, the stint surgeon in town to send you to. Thats actually become our core Business Models helping doctors find the right referrals, at some point we intend to open it up to consumers as well but today we are only a physician network. We heard decades about medical records, Newt Gringrich talked about it 20something years ago. You go in a Doctors Office and they have huge shelves of doctors records, how does this change that . Are we ever going to get rid of all the big paper records and make it all electronic . Well, i hope we do some day. We are a big part of that solution, making it easier for them to communicate so they dont have to keep paper records to fax somewhere else. I will agree with you, today its a system thats myered in the technology of the 1970s. Dagen so doctors on your network cant send a brain mri or a ct scan to another doctor .

As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Maria good Tuesday Morning, welcome back, everybody, thanks so much for joining us. Im Maria Bartiromo, it is tuesday april 25th, top stories right now 7 00 a. M. On the east coast. Fulfilling a campaign promise. President trump said to announce tax cut this is week and hell hold meetings today with top economic advisers on the issue. Meanwhile americans are feeling worst about congress these days, dissatisfaction rate is rising as lawmakers get back to work. We have the poll numbers. Avoiding a Government Shutdown among top agenda items this week and the Trump Administration is not concerned about the funding for the border wall for now. The president has made very clear that he is has two priorities in this continuing resolution, number one, the increase in funding for military, number two for homeland and Border Security and the wall. We feel confident that they understand the president s priorities and will come to an agreement by tend of friday. Maria more on the bored battle coming up this morning. Earning season ramping up. A lot of earnings on dock that will likely set the tone for the stock market. Cocacola results, below expectations while renew is better than expected, as you see stock is down, company says it is on track to meet fullyear earnings and revenue guidance.

Hang seng in hong kong, best performer, up one and a third percent. Ivanka trump making First International trip, shes meeting with german chancellor Angela Merkel and kristin lagard focusing on women empower rent. Details on her payday as verizon completes acquisition of yahoo core business, we will bring it to you, the price tag on the jeans that are hitting the stores. We are going to tell you about it. All the stories coming up this morning and joining me to talk about it dagen mcdowell, the wall street journal Global Economics editor Jon Hilsenrath and Washington Examiner byron york. Jon good morning, we had a segment about pants, mom jeans with plastic windows in the knees. Maria with dirt. Actual dirt jeans. I know we are going to talk about it later, we are talking about 400 these jeans. Dagen even if they were pristine and clean, thats still an amount of money. I want to look like im a dude who has been out chopping wood but instead im sitting on my duff playing video games. They may have been done for us to talk about it. Dagen they are selling this instead of ivanka products. I said it. Maria tax reform. We will get the policy perspectives on what the white house wants to propose. We are all hearing a Health Care Bill, they are still working on it, jon. Somebody told me in congress its about two weeks away. Jon its puzzling because priorities keep flipping. President trump said to the wall street journal that health care was priority and a couple of days later he said i want a tax plan with a 15 Corporate Taxes. Maria he did say that health care has to come first. Coming up saturday in the final weeks to have campaign, trump released a contract with the american voter, front page was the things he was going to do. Hes done very well in all of those. Back page was the congressional bills he would introduce. He hasnt done it. He h this big rally in pennsylvania, saturday night, what hes doing instd of going to the white house. Dagen good on him for avoiding that elitist concept. Hes going to say we are close on bill. Dagen for the people who voted on him, gorsuch. Maria major success. He has done more signing into laws in the first 100 days than his predecessor, i know that he doesnt have legislative victories to talk about Health Care Bill and tax reform bill but he has broad plans about these. Jon hes got broad plans but i think hes discovering that its very hard to work with a congress with all of these people with conflicting interests, its much different than running a corporation when youre sitting at the top and you can say get this done and everybody beneath you needs to get it done. He has to get all the competing interests in congress to work with him and has not. He has done one thing with congress, the republicans we wanted to use the Congressional Review Act to undo a lot of the rules from the Obama Administration. The house and the senate have passed and the president has signed 12 of these things. Dagen right. Thats an actual case he can make. Maria as many of the companies that we talked about who have created jobs or announced that they will put factories in the u. S. , i think hes had much of the victory in the first 100 days in foreign polls yi. I think he has come out strong in terms of messages to north korea, syria and russia. Dagen his cabinet is a huge victory for himself in terms of mattis, mcmaster and tillerson. Jon hes finally said, enough is enough. Maria lets talk with the texas congressman about all of this, health and human secretary Services Tom Price is with us. Dr. Price is going to give us an update on how he sees Health Care Reform. Carl cove is here and Ohio Governor and former president ial candidate and author of the new book, america divide or united. American dissatisfaction with lawmakers seem to be growing. Increasing 12 Percentage Points since february according to latest wall street journal. Texas congressman lou gowmer. Well, its not a surprise to me because im in that category of not being happy with congress. Weve been promising for years that if we were given the chance we would repeal obamacare and the bill we passed two years ago goes a lot further in repealing obamacare than does now secretary but as the late Antonin Scalia told me, hey, if you guys in congress dont have the guts to repeal a bill, dont come running over here to us and i think in this case we are running to the executive brarchl and asking them to do exactly what we complained about obama doing and that is getting them to basically repeal a bill. Holdup has been weve given up on trying to get this bill repealed basically but we weve been demanding at least lets repeal some of the provisions that we know will bring down rates within two years and so thats i think we are going to get there, but i think in another few weeks you will be talking about a great, maybe a month, but you would be talk about another great victory with regard to taxes. Maria, all of you in the panel, you know the United States has the largest tariff in the industrialized world on goods that we produce. Nobody is crazy enough to have a tariff like we do otherwise known as the Corporate Tax. Maria right. The president called me last week and hes a hoot to talk to, but we are in 100 agreement it need to be 15 if its not lower, 15 , you will see jobs returning and all these people that have been saying that, gee, weve evolved into a service economy, look, if you cant manufacturer what you need in a time of war, you wont stay a National International power after the next war. Maria how do you pay for it . [laughter] maria youre laughing because we shouldnt have the conversation about revenue neutral. We ought to forget about a score, phil graham said, if you ask the Congressional Budget Office how much federal revenue you would bring in with 200 income tax, they say youll bring in twice as much as everybody earns. The fact is when theres a major tax decrease, you have raises in the federal revenue. Maria right. I understand what i guess what im getting to the border wall and this conversation. Right. Maria raising revenue somewhere at the border, today the news of the day is the Trump Administration moving to impose 20 tariff on lumber from canada. Connect the dots, is that where you are looking to perhaps raise revenue during the trade part of the Economic Policy and maybe just forget about a border tax or import tax or reciprocal tax, whatever you want to call it in the tax reform package . I think youve put the finger on the big holdup on the tax bill and that would be the border adjustment. Theres a lot of conflict back and forth. We are all hearing from people back home adjustment tax socalled. Thats going to be problematic, but i the wall is going to get built. I really dont doubt that and, you know, its kind of like the bible says, youll ask god for wisdom, when, mexico is going to pay for the wall, he didnt say exactly when. Thats going to happen. Maria i like that, ask god for wisdom. Thats very good. I still dont have it. I know i will some day. Maria we are trying to connect the dots, dagen. On the border wall what youre seeing from the administration a realization that theres so much flexibility in where some money is spent. I mean, obama took money all over the place and found a great deal of flexibility. I think youre going to see that here and built with some money thats been appropriated and others that will be coming, that gives him the flexibility he could get it over. Dagen theres no flexibility when it comes to the rules governing reconciliation in congress. Right. Dagen any changes made to the tax code, just focusing on Corporate Tax cuts, they cant add to the deficit beyond the decade, so youre potentially you laugh when we ask about how youre going to pay for it thats right. Dagen youre looking at having sunset tax cuts and they lose effectiveness as Jon Hilsenrath pointed out last hour, they lose their effectiveness in a Company Think that is the tax cut is going away in ten years. Thats right, we dont need them to go away. We need them there and we need them permanently but cbo couldnt find the rear end with both hands. These guys have been wrong about 400 plus margin of error on obamacare and the guys shouldnt be counted on. We need to start having competitive scoring and then cbo would not have any role because they are so far out of what actually happens in the real world. Jon congressman, to come thank what dagen is saying, the rules are the rules, you to rely on the projections from the joint committee on taxation. How are you going to get it done . [laughter] well, i thinkle if we i think if we look at the real numbers historically, its just tragic. Of course, the thing that you would like to see us do, get rid of cbo and the joint Tax Commission and use history as the best indicater of where we are going. Its just insane that we have to be locked in to these ridiculous rules that dont take into account when you have a major tax decrease, you have a major raise in revenue. And instead, we are trying explain how we are going to make up for revenue thats actually increased in reality. I think thats absurd. Im all for putting a provision in there that just suspends that rule so we can see what the federal revenue actually getting increased. Maria congressman, thank you so much. We so appreciate you joining us today. Always a pleasure, louie gohmert, back in a minute maria welcome back, sunny perdue as the nations.

Maria welcome back, in february President Trump delayed the fiduciary rule, the rule that was supposed to go into effect two weeks ago would force advisers to serve in International Interest of clients. The delay of the rule is dc bureaucracy at is finest, good to see you, doug, thank you so much for joining us. Good morning, maria. Maria yeah, this was something that we knew president obama actually had been pushing this forward. What do you think changed the Trump Administrations mind in terms of pursuing this and why do you think this is so bureaucratic . Well, everyone felt the rule was really misguided. The intent, of course, everyone endorses, you want to have good advice for people that are investing. It would take a lot of the small investors and actually preclude them from getting advice at all and closing small accounts because of costs of running them. The Trump Administration said we want to delay this and think about it and write a rule that makes sense. Unfortunately the folks at left by the Obama Administration delayed the rules that has to go in effect in 60 days, they didnt get a time to do a new study and sensible rule n. The end a victory of bureaucracy over the new administration. Maria when you look at what the president has done so far in terms of executive orderers and you take a look at the Business Done this week, characterize where we are. The administration has said many times we will not see a Government Shutdown, how do you see them getting there this week and do you think we will see a big tax plan announcement tomorrow that will be reformed . I think the Government Shutdown, theres no interest in shutting the government down not by the administration or republicans, i think they reach a deal. They reach a deal that reflect the president s priorities, enhanced Border Security if not funding if for border wall. Additional defense spending and they turn to fiscal 2018 which is in and of itself going to be a big lift. On the tax front, i think this discussion is 15 rate is quite interesting. We know that the rate is too high, 35 is way out of align of competitors, getting to 15 or 20 would be a sensible thing but i think the devil really will be in the details. This probably cant be permanent both because some future administration could just turn around and raise it back up, or worst, in reconciliation, special introductions need today get through the senate, you cant create deficits so they wont be able to keep this for very long. Indeed, some talk that you couldnt keep it down for more than two years, you to ask yourself to do all of this and get a twoyear reduction in in corporate rate . Doug, youre former read of the cbo, can you give us a preview of Donald Trumps coming encounter with the cbo over this tax plan, obviously republicans had a lot of trouble with the cbo about obamacare, whats going to happen with them this time . Well, the key here will actually be the joint committee on taxation, they score all tax bills. Theyre going to take a look at this plan and i think the key question will be is it revenue neutral, all the indications are that it will not be, if not, it cant get through the senate and be permanent. Itll have to be sunsetted at some point. There will be a big fight as to how long they will keep rates in place. As i mentioned, a surprising result is it appears they cut corporate rate two years in reconciliation. You go to year three, you cant get the protection. You need eight democrats to get a 15 rate permanently. Thats a real hiccup in the administration. Maria it really is. Jon a tax cut will produce a 3 growth or more, because that they will pay for themselves and be revenue neutral. Can we get a 3 growth out of tax cuts . I dont think, if its just a rate cut, i dont think you get there. You dont get a full percentage and it certainly doesnt pay for itself and the joint committee is not going to say it pays for itself. To me, the litmus test for genuine tax return we have the same problem with headquarters going abroad, same problem with a preference reform production over domestic production. You havent solved the structural problems. I understand theres lots of piece that is people have individual contention with whether its interest deductible or at the border, incentivize firms to invest in america, grow in america, thats really what we need. Maria whats the most important structural change that you want to see in the tax reform bill . I think moving to a territorial system, taxing firms on the basis of what they eastern in the u. S. And not globally. Maria thats a prior fbi for the president. That has to be important and i want to see that in there. Maria doug, good to see you, thank you so much. Sure.

I care very much about empowering women in the work place and the opportunity to have an elevated for them to be able to say tear on the stage and thank you from the chancellor for your gracious invitation. I am humbled to be here with so many formidable leaders to engage in dialogue, to learn to bring the rice to bring the knowledge that the United States, back to my father in the president and hopefully that will bring about incremental positive change and that is my goal. Maria this coming after german chancellor Angela Merkel invited ivanka trump to the summit. The coowner elaine epstein. Good to see you. Thanks for joining us. Good morning. Maria we wanted to talk to as a Business Owner. This is ivanka trumps first visit since taking the role. What message do you you see her visit they made to women worldwide as a female Business Owner yourself . Ivanka will send the same message all along and that is women can do anything they put their minds to. We make up 50 of the population and its very important we do whatever we can to empower women not just in america but across this beautiful globe. Maria how do you do that, dagen . Either thing she could be doing here to actually promote empowerment or women in the United States . Dagen i was just going to say and you can get en masse, lena, but ivanka trump has her father is here. She was careful to say that. Im here to listen and take his ideas back to my father. Those leaders on the stage, Angela Merkel sitting there, and they know that. She was instrumental in getting her father to Start Talking about a federal maternity benefit. That might sound liberal, but that is certainly where ivanka comes in to this administration. I think its a Public Private partnership as most are in this country. And some nights like they are occurring today. It is critical and theres no better spokesperson for women of america than ivanka and will take information back to the administration and i know she has the ear of her father in the world is listening. This is the kind of thing that in the past the first lady would normally do. The question is what is ivanka trump doing our thing that would be different as the daughter of a republican president that would be different than the wife of a democratic president , Michelle Obama would have done in the same situation. Is there any change in this issue or is it the same . Is a great question. Its dangerous to compare administrations. Serving as americas first lady and ivanka is in a special position to the Advisor Administration to the president. She is an Incredible Opportunity with a softspoken brilliant nature to be an inspiration to not just women in america but across the world. There have been children across history that have helped advise their patients taking fdr comment Anna Roosevelt and the role she played in her fathers administration. This is not an accident that in certainly welcome and needed. Had the opportunity to work with ivanka on the campaign trail last year. I hosted her womens economic summit similar to the one on a much smaller scale similar to the one shes participating today. The big question is how we overcome societal norms. The man can have the mothers and be wise and also be very one to our Gross Domestic Product. Thats the heart of the message today and Going Forward and for the ministry should. Can we be more specific here . Besides being an inspiration to women, what are we talking about from a policy perspective that she can or should bring back to the president of the United States that needs changed to elevate womens role in the work force are at home. What specifically are we talking about that needs to happen . It is important to note that ivanka is the none paid adviser to her father. It is not her role specifically to generate a recommend policy but bring forward important facts for the administrations consideration. Ill be keen to see what comes out of todays day ahead. Ivanka plays a key role in bringing people together and advocated on behalf of women which is not a policy creator and nor should we be looking to her to play the important role. Trade to the president that the world they also released an oped in the Financial Times yesterday. Heres what it says. As World Leaders seek to reunite the Global Economy come a large part of the formula for growth and stability is undervalued. The Economic Empowerment of women is an invaluable asset with proven return. Will he not in the oped trump is calling for progress to train entrepreneurs and mentorship opportunities for networking. What do you make of that in terms of increasing opportunities . Yes, maria. They probably visited Vocational Training programs had disobeyed a big part of the conversation. How do we take the rhetoric and translate that into something tangible . Its going to be an uphill battle to teach women, teach men that women can be an import part of the work place. The Vocational Training will be very, very important not just in america but countries around the world. I challenge ivanka ticket to need to bring issues today with an oped in i encourage you to go to the Financial Times, beautifully written oped stating the fact women represent 50 of the population yet were so underserved in the work place. We have the potential to grow the Gross Domestic Product by leaps and bounds. Maria thank you for weighing in. Lena waiting in there. What are we doing here . Many other question is how does this fit into a republican conservative agenda that . As different as a fairly quick read going to the conference. What would come out differently . Thats the question im not clear on. Dagen ivanka is not planning to run for president and renew a long passage a liquid behind his store for us. Baby she will someday. Dagen no.

Secretary of health and Human Services in orthopedic doctor, dr. Tom price. Good to have you in the program. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Wonderful to be back with you. Maria wittier thoughts of the numbers as you see how people feel at repeal and replace him is that there is to come up with something solid in the next couple weeks. What you see is a snapchat in time. The fact of the matter is the American People understand our Current Health care system for those in the individual smallgroup Exchange Market simply isnt working. Premiums up, did that apples upcoming third of the counties in this nation only have one insurance issuer providing coverage. Thats a system thats not working for patients. But the president has done i think masterfully set the table for remarkable success as we move forward without performance. We located that because its the right thing for the American People. Maria i want to ask about the president s first 100 days in office. Youve had a lot of victories yourself. Before the accomplishments, what is most in port with the Health Care Bill . Do you think who hasnt been on the floor in the next couple weeks . I think so. Everybody in the stands the majority of the system right now is working and they know we need a medicaid system that works for medicaid recipient. When he did Exchange System for the individual small group is brinng down premiums and making it so folks can see their doctor and get the treatment they want and need. Currently thats not the case. Folks will coalesce around very positive plan is the president has said would bring down premiums and make it so deductibles are skyrocketing off the roofs of people have been trained or as we dont have. Thats a system that doesnt work for patients. We will change that actually respond to needs of the American People. Maria much of the coverage has focused on congress and whether or not those are there for this bill. Meanwhile youve accomplished a lot of things during these early days when it comes to opioids, when it comes to other issues. A few it is actually a crisis. In iraq is through the first 100 days when it comes to this . The president has done a remarkable job in coalescing in bringing folks and admitted them appreciate what his vision is for the entire health care. At the same time, hes instructed us to this Department One is to get the kind of flexibility at the state level that is so necessary for folks to have the Health Care System they want. We worked with states from alaska to florida to bring aboum so they can respond to constituents. Welcome back, it is a busy week of earnings, setting the tone for markets.

Look at this doubledigit move on the Dow Jones Industrial average, 166 points, on top of 200 plus rally. This is a lot more than france. Just saying. France, French Election, okay. There is a risk on trade but there was an important point, how do you explain that stock prices are going up, bond yields going down, the signal that the economy is slowing down, stocks going up signaling the economy is speeding up more inflation. I think the bond market is reflecting what is happening today, stock market happening down the road because stocks are coming for this. Dagen the 10 year yield, 3. 2 this morning. I still think investors in some of these stocks particularly the ones that are richly priced, it is high yesterday, facebook or apple, the big east in technology, they are richly priced and if you have a serious slowdown in the economy the economy will grow slower given the Trump Administration hasnt moved the ball in terms of big picture Economic Growth of legislation. It depends on how long people believe donald trump will get this stuff done and if at some point they think i dont know if he will really do this, then that whole calculus goes down. We were talking about Public Perceptions of congress. It is not so touched trump but congress has a narrow lane to work in on tax reform, they cant do someting that creates deficits beyond ten year if they do, the tax cuts, the whole point is don if tax cuts expire. Wont have to Companies Invest more if they are 35 tax rate going to 15 and backup to 35 after two or three years. Dagen how do you drive growth . How do you get to 3 . Steve mnuchin was clear we are driving towards 3 . Is that doable . 19 . Is that doable in 19 . We had douglas holt he can saying we cant get there and Louis Gohmert saying get rid of the cbo. Dagen both parties do that, they hate the cbo when the numbers come back not in their favor. When they dont dovetail with their own policy, they despise the cbo. The numbers wont be good.

Netflix, the street being Company Enters a deal that has stock up as well. The president set to start making changes by cutting the Corporate Tax rate to 15 . Adam shapiro is with details right now at the white house. Adam, good morning to you. And a good morning to you, maria, the president promised this on the campaign trail. He wanted, as he said last week, a massive tax break, not only for individual americans, but businesses small and large and 15 is what he talked about on the campaign trail. Wall street journal says the president ordered the staff to make it a 15 proposal. Later today youll see power players on capital hill, steve mnuchi mnuchin, gary cohn, theyll meet with orrin hatch and kevin brady, house ways and Means Committee chairman. These are keys necessary to get the tax proposal, the tax eventually through congress. We asked secretary mnuchin yesterday what the tax break will look like not only for business, but for the middle class and here is what he said. Weve been clear on what the president s objectives are for tax reform. Middle income tax cut is the priority of the president. Simplification, the average americans should be able to do their taxes on a large post card. Business tax reform, we need to make business taxes competitive and we expect with doing that well bring back trillions of dollars from off shore. The president has a big vision of what he wants in a tax package. We will get the broad outline, what you might call the plan, the tax reform plan on wednesday, but keep in mind, that part of this meeting thats going to take place on capitol hill with the treasury secretary and gary cohn is to help bring everybody in line because there are republicans on capitol hill who are worried a 15 Corporate Tax rate would actually blow a hole in the deficit and eventually the nations debt. The secretary of the treasury said that Economic Growth spurred by the tax break and tax cuts would cover that. Thats what theyre going to talk about among other things. Maria all right, well be a fly on the wall in that meeting, well try to be. Adam shapiro, thank you live from the white house. President barack obama made first remarks since leaving the white house. He spoke in chicago and the president avoided criticizing his successor, on immigration, he called for more understanding on both sides of that debate. Not to assume that everybody who currently has trouble with the system is racist. Everybody being able to see the reality of immigrants as people, not as some other is important, but requires us as advocates of immigrants to have some respect for people who, you may be able to win over. Maria lets bring in former deputy chief of staff to president george w. Bush and Fox News Contributor karl rove. Good to see you. What did you make of the former president s advice there . I thought it was actually pretty good advice. Shorn from the reality of his record, this is pretty good advice. People ought to look at immigrants as people and if youre an immigration advocate you ought to recognize that people who are concerned about increased immigration are not necessarily racist, but, you know, this is shorn of all his connections to the issue. He has a very tortured history with this issue. He was a supporter of comprensiv Immigration Reform in 2006 and 27 until such time it came to a vote and without telling the bill sponsors or the white house, to whom he had pledged his support, he voted for every killer amendment to comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2007. Then we got elected, he did nothing on the issue when he had huge majorities in the house and senate and could have easily passed a bill and it wasnt until 2012 after he had lost control of the house, was in a reelection battle and had little enthusiasm for him, his campaign in the latino Immigration Community that he finally issued the doca order and tried to make it during the summer of his campaign a big deal. President obama has a weird relationship to this issue. He claims to be an advocate, but he had a chance to do something about it, he didnt. Karl, let me ask you about the border wall. If there was one promise that donald trump was associated with in the campaign, it was to build a wall. Now you have unanimous democratic opposition. The wall doesnt poll all that well. Its know the one of the president s popular proposals and he wants to start it, maybe he could find some money under the cushions over at department of homeland security. How does he go forward with the key promise of his . I thought it was smart the white house last night said were not going to tie wall money to the continuing resolution. That is to say, well fight this battle in the appropriations process this fall and not hold out the prospect of shutting down the government in order to get money. They dont have a budget for this. They dont have a design. The cost estimates are much higher than the president said were acceptable and, look, im from texas. Were tough on border down there, but you will find not a single border congressman, republican or democrat, that im aware of, even in new mexico and arizona who is in favor of the wall. We have a 1,264 mile border between texas and mexico thats a river. Where exactly are you going to place that wall, on the north side of the river, the rio gra grande, what about the reservoir for recreation and the cattle men . There are other technologies to use, the wall, theres a place for it, but its not over the 2,000 mile border between u. S. And mexico. Dagen and karl, politically you get bogged down in the imminent domain fights that could drag on for years. President trump is all about optics in part and that has to be part of the calculation. I mean, there are places where the wall is necessary. But in other parts of the border, technology, infrastructure, roads, you know, technology so you can detect crossing, infrastructure so youve got roads to interdict them, and air assets to monitor and recover them, those are important in a large part of the border and a wall just doesnt make good sense. Karl, ronald reagan, both bush president s, even bill clinton for a little while at least faded into the backgrounds after their president s and kind of let the new president take center stage. Is it dignified or graceful for barack obama to be out in public speaking out on issues like this so soon after he left office . Well, thats a decision each president gets to make for themselves. As you recall, jimmy carter was not reluctant to speak out. Youre right, bill clinton for a brief period of time, let me tell you, very brief period of time sat on the sidelines. I do think every president is wise to give their successor a decent interval of their silence. Its up to president obama to decide whether or not thats appropriate. He was restrained in his remarks, but nonetheless pointed in some of his comments. Maria what about this new bombshell report in politico finding some of the iranianborn prisoners who were freed by president obama under the Iran Nuclear Deal were accused of posing threats to National Security . Yeah, this is a bombshell. People ought to read this. Josh meyer did excellent reporting. As you recall, there were seven people whom the president went on television and said these are not dangerous people. In order to sort of facilitate this deal, in order to, you know, goodwill. Were going to do this. Of the seven we now know three of them were involved in transferring missile technology. Another one had been, excuse me, had been involved in transferring satellite technology, but even more important than the seven that they released it, it turned out there were 14 others they let off the hook, including people who had transferred thousands of parts necessary for the iranian Nuclear Weapons program. Three who attempted to acquire a boeing aircraft for an iranian airliner, Airline Company that operates in support of hezbollah and the force, and another trying to accomplish American Assault rifles to send to iran. There were 14 people whom the National Counter Proliferation Center was tracking as big, bad actors, and the administration slowplayed the investigation or prosecution, including on at least six instances, discouraging luring those people into International Travel where they could have been grabbed. So, the president was disingenuous, as was the unnamed Senior Advisor who briefed the press on this. The seven included some very bad actors and unspoken, were the 14 who were really bad actors whom the administration let off the hook. Maria i dont know why the president said at the time that they were not dangerous, that they dont pose a risk at all. Either he wasnt briefed properly or he was being disingenuous. Ill let the viewers decide which it is. But this was just a jawdroppingly comprehensive, wellresearched report by meyer in politico and i commend it to your viewers. Maria thank you so much, karl, see you soon, sir. You bet. Maria breaking news, the president tweeted out it this about canadas move blocking u. S. Dairy imports. Canada made business for our dairy in wisconsin and other border states impossible and watch. Dont let the fake media tell you that ive changed my position on the wall. It will get built and help stop drugs, Human Trafficking and et cetera. I think he was watching us. I think he was watching this morning. Dagen and yesterday we did stories all day long on the Dairy Farmers in wisconsin getting hit. This is a signature promise and he has to say that hes going to do it. But, karl is right. Dagen he didnt say he wasnt going to do it. He said it wasnt going to hold up funding the government because of it and deal with it in a few months. Back later in the year. You can get started on it with existing monies now, its not as if there are crews ready to Start Building at this moment. He also said the mexicans were going to pay for it, i didnt see that. Maria he said initially the u. S. Pays for it and somehow mexico reimburses us, his last comments on that. Dagen eventually t pay. Maria i believe him on that. Coming up, is President Trump ready to tackle the tax rate down to 15 . And Ohio Governor john kasich is here to talk about his book and grade on President Trumps first 100 days in office. Back in a moment. To err is human. To anticipate is lexus. Experience the lexus rx with advanced safety standard. Experience amazing.

President trumps first step to reforming the tax code is a hit for investors. Expecting to announce a move slashing the Corporate Tax rate to 15 . Theyre expecting that tomorrow. Joining me now Stuart Varney with that. Stuart good morning, maria. As you can see on the lefthand side of the screen, i think the market approves of this 15 Corporate Tax rate. I think mainly because, maria, i think this is doable. If the president had come to the table with sweeping tax reform, get rid of the entire tax code, wed all be saying, you know, you cant really do that. But if you come with a narrowly focused 15 tax rate, bring the money back from overseas, stimulate the domestic economy, you do that and i think the market loves it. I think thats one of the two big reasons why were going to see the dow get within, what, 200 points of the alltime closing high, a little later on this morning. Thats what i think is going on. Maria are you in the camp that you say, you know what . Forget about all of these deductions and debate over border adjustment tax, just keep taxes. Even if it doesnt move the needle immediately on Economic Growth. Stuart im in that camp. Do something. President trump and the republicans were elected to cut taxes and get the economy going. Youve got to do something about that, youve got to do it. Maria yeah. Stuart and this is eminently didab didable doable and thats why its popular for investors. Maria stu, you have a lot more on the program this morning. Varney company is after mornings with maria at 9 00. First up, john kasich on President Trumps first 100 days in office and his thoughts on the agenda in a moment. Theres nothing more important than your health.

Because the time to think about tomorrow is today. Wcome back. The Trump Administration pushing for big change on tax and Health Care Policy as the threat of a Government Shutdown looms. This coming as a New Washington postabc poll Shows Americans are split on the president S Performance so far 35 of those polled say that he is doing better than he expected. Another 35 saying he is doing worse than they expected. Joining me now is Ohio Governor and the author of two paths, america divided or united john kasich is with us. I wonder about that, America United or divided. Did you see that poll . Unbelievable. Maria that basically underscores the whole reason youre writing this book . Well, its not just about politics, its about my observations of whats been happening to our culture, maria. Were not treating each other with respect. We are divided. We only consume that that we agree with and this is not just the way our country works best. Im not just talking about politics, but united. How could they have treated somebody like that on that airplane. Maria incredible. We see it across the board, whether its sports, entertainment, the media. Its an issue. So we need to assume control, each one of us, because we all matter and were all powerful. Believe me, even if youre turning off the lights at night and youre not the ceo, you matter. Maria i want to ask you about that, write in the book, we all have a responsibility. I want to talk about that in terms of what we should be doing. Let me get you to grade the first 100 days. Too early, incomplete. When i became governor i had rocky times in the beginning and my wife came to me, youre the governor, youre the father of ohio why dont you act like it. So it created a change in me and i told the president that when i was in the oval office what my wife said to me. It takes a while to adjust and get strong and we all want him to do well. And so when he does well, we all ought to say hes doing well and snot be siloed. And if he does poorly that we dont like that policy. Thats the way that America Works best. Maria he has signed in more executive orders or new laws than his predecessor, but as far as the big legislative issues were still talking about a Health Care Bill getting done and tax reform getting done. See, i think that health care a major victory is gorsuch on the supreme court. I think so. Look, what they really should do on health care, theyve got to involve the democrats. If they dont, look, obamacare passed, it was just one party. And what happened . Its not sustainable. If the republicans turn around and do the same thing its not sustainable. Theyve got to work together, maria, were talking Peoples Health care and a good plan to reform this obamacare, because it is, as you know, being a business person, you know whats happening to the exchanges. They need to be fixed and the democrats have to be willing to work and the republicans have to ask them to participate. Maria youre urging congressional leaders to basically adopt medicaid reforms instead of pushing to replace obamacare entirely. Well, i mean. Maria let me get to you explain that. A few minutes ago we had hhs secretary tom price on the program. Listen to what he said about medicaid. Get your reaction. Everybody understands in the majority, that the system right now isnt working and they know that we need a medicaid system that works for the medicaid recipient, we need an Exchange System for the individual and Small Group Market that works, thats bringing down premiums and make it go so folks can actually see their own doctor and get the kind of treatment that they want and that they need and currently, thats not the case. Maria so, governor well, i agree with everything he said. We need to reform all of this and it can be done. I, along with or republican governors have talked to some democratic governors about a program that will reform the system. Medicaid is important in our country and we have to reform it, we have to improve it. Maria and your state alone added 700,000 people to the medicaid program. Why do you think this is so important. You know why . Because they didnt have any health care. So, you know, what do you want to do with the mentally ill, the drug addicted and chronically ill . You cant not treat them . They live in the Emergency Rooms which drives all of our costs up. Our medicaid is 3 and per capita increases are flat so were managing the program and i want to reform medicaid, theres a way do it to give us more control and ability to lower pharmaceutical costs, but i believe we need reform of the exchange. So, its not like, no, i dont want any changes, but i also want to tell you, i cant im not going to sit around and let 700,000 people get cut off. Where are they going to go. Maria good for you. You say hes got to involve the democrats. If he keeps getting obstructionism from the other side and pushing back on everything and even pushed back on gorsuch a couple of years ago they were in love with. I think they made a terrible mistake. Maria what is he going to did . Youre going to work it, maria. You have to work it. We didnt get here overnight. Think how divided that place has been fors last 20 years and its not fixed overnight. You have to be patient and you just simply have to have a thicker skin. It isnt going to be easy to change, but its also us. If were yelling at our if were yelling at the people that represent dont you compromise, thats a horrible thing, dont you work with anybody else, do exactly what i want, and what people are doing and tom perez is adding a few expletives. Here is what your sweet mother always told you, keep your ears open, maria, listen to what others say, dont shut your mind to other people and were doing too much of this and i keep referring to united for this reason. That man on that airplane was not a widget. We need to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, bring ourselves together. Fight the drug problem in the neighborhood. Mentor kids in the neighborhood. We need to help the veterans returning home. Maria you mentioned in the book the 2016 election where you looked back. What was your big lesson . My lesson was it was crazy and people yelling and screaming and insulting, thats not america. And you know, for me, what was the lesson for me . I am very happy with the way i conducted myself. I didnt go out and yell and scream and attack people. Maybe i didnt get the attention, but you what . Getting plenty of attention now. [laughter]. Maria yeah, you are. John kasich. Forming a clot which can cause a stroke in the brain. In a clinical study, pradaxa was better than warfarin at reducing stroke risk. And in the rare case of an emergency situation, when seconds matter, theres the only fdaapproved reversal treatment made for people taking pradaxa that helps you clot normally again. Dont take pradaxa if youve had a heart valve replacement or have abnormal bleeding. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor, as stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. Tell your doctor before any planned medical or dental procedure, or before stopping pradaxa. Pradaxa can cause serious, but rarely fatal bleeding.
