Shelby holiday, tammy bruce and liz peak. We wouldnt be getting these announcement if it wasnt for the new bully pulpit of twitter. How much of it do you have think is authentic . I think all you have to do, engage something occurring right now, is looking at the past. You can determine the pref by the past. The fact of the matter is weve had 8 years where weiss kinds of announcements and dynamics have never occurred. You had factories being built in mexico. The announcement was we are shutting down these factories, thousands of jobs will be lost. Now we are getting the opposite. Thats not just because of hatchen stance and timing. Its about the attitude and what he projected. They do know because of his history he will deliver. Its not just rhetoric. So of course he can take credit for it and ill ends with saying Mainstream Media the left know that this is his strength and with these small wins and what will be the big wins is it highlights what the left and obama have chose not to do, and thats what they are panicked about. Charles yesterday hyundai saying well increase our investment in america by 50 . But they have also said they will break grounds on this planted in mexico. What i did finds interesting is they are not sure about production. But you can see something has gone wrong. There is no question. They are not just bowing to pressure donald trump. They are also attracted to the idea with different tax rates and approach from government, and less regulations, it will bed a van stay day just to produce in the United States. The ceo said its a new game in town. Trump is saying hes going to make it attractive for to us do business in the United States. Everybody wants to do business in the United States. Its a rule of law country. The supply chains are shorter here. The decision business Auto Companies have been in the w for many years. But there is a change afoot. Trump has got to get over the idea that the Mainstream Media will ever give him credit because they will not. Charles the top five importers of drugs into this country, none of that has to do with cheap labor. Ireland is number one. Its because of tax policy. I think that can be addressed fairly easy. What do you make of the fact that Corporate America is learning how to game donald trump. Sphch for General Motors to say we are going to do a billion dollars this year. If im donald trump, ill say im moving the needle but i dont want to get played by you have guys either. Dontlet it get away with just a billion. Last time i was on your show i have said done are attracts attention by creating chaos. But so companies are watching this play out. They know how to play their cards the right way. They are capitalizing on investments already in the works. And in many cases, gm, they are saying they had this plan but its being accelerated. Trump does deserve credit for helping create jobs. Does he get all of the credit . It goes both ways. Its not all donald trump. It would serve him well to tout the benefits of his businessfriendly plans. What we are talking about, after the inauguration when he is president he will get a chance to put in place thosetar. All the decisions should lead to doing business here. If you dont it will hurt, if you do it will be great. At the same time even the rhetoric coming out of these come any, being public about the choices they are making, why they are making the choices indicate they know American Public opinion matters. They know why donald trump is in the office. We are also the consumer base. Let them all so have to win us over. Thats a fabulous side effect of the nature of what this campaign has delivered. Twitter i think remains important. It allows him to stay in front of these efforts to demean him. And hes successful at it. Its within the public marketplace. And if people feel like they are antiamerican, then americans arent going to buy your product. Think of the money charitable corporations spend. I dont mights inexpensive. But people want to see a company produce and be allamerican, if you will. They are going to respond to that. Charles these companies are negotiating in public. Bayer with the monsanto deal. Saying do something about the barack obama emissions of cafe standards well never meet. And weve may want to take over General Motors, wink, wink. Im sure donald trump has created jobs in the p. R. Departments of many companies. Donald trump has to be careful. Hes meeting with executives who are not approved for their big merger deals. But we dont know what hes saying behind closed doors. That looks like a major ethical problem for him. If hes promising bayer in return for a couple hundred jobs. Hes promising less pressure on drug prices if they bring more drug manufacturing here. Hes a big negotiator. Because the government has gone the so involved in every aspect of this country, he can be the big negotiator. Charles the government has gone the involved from a punitive point of view. I dont know of any administration when its been something where we tried to have a symbiotic relationship. Whats wrong with that . Nothing. As long as this isnt about promises being made behind closed doors but an offer of ill be your champion, lets work this out. We know what we both want to accomplish. Lets find a way to do it. Thats different than making promises, dealing with lobbyists. Scratching everybodys back. At least thats something that you are noting. Its about lets be a team. Charles i think when donald trump does the math at the bottom, the bottom of the equation has to equal more american jobs and opportunities and lower prices. In a trance parent way. I think it amazing thing is obama never tried to do this. He never sat down with corporate titans and said how can we make this economy better . He saw them as the even knee and the source of money. Coming up. Trump may be change his tune on an important economic issue the gop wants. Are you familiar with the border adjustment tax . Charles donald trump saying a border tax is something that will be discussed. This of course after donald trump criticized the House Republican bill for that border adjustment tax, calling it too complicated. Joining me is scott greenberg. I think the House Republicans are saying this is not just about trade, i think what they were trying to achieve is some sort of source of revenue for potential downfall once you adjust corporate taxes, particularly when they go as low as 20 . The idea is you generate 1. 3 trillion the next 10 years and that offsets any lost revenue to the government. Is that feasible . Well, you have got numbers and you are correct. I think it is feasible. There are over 160 countries in the world with a border adjusted tax. The youth is one of the on ones with. Basic concept is simple. It turns the tax system from production to consumption. Because there is more consumption than production, it can raise a lot of revenue and itments a fairly attractive provision to help pay for a large corporate rate cut like the Congressional Republicans are proposing. Charles i looked at a couple examples and it felt like a common core math test. Is there something to the concern that donald trump has as opposed to a more simplified system . Certainly a border adjustment isnt the simplest thing for the average person to understand. But there is good reason to think it would make the top system more simple overall. Multinational corporations have to deal with ahole host of rules to stop them from shipping products overseas. The idea of a border adjustment is to replace all of that with an elegant mechanism for making sure Companies Bring profits here. Thinking is also focused on consumer stuff, rate . How do you stop businesses i know Koch Industries think its a terrible idea. You can see various parts of the stock market saying we dont want this. It will put us in a bind. We are going to either squeeze our margins or have to pass costs on to consumers who arent ready to absorb them just yet. I dont think the retailers are entirely correct on this one. They are justified in being skidish. But under the economic theory when you put an economic bored adjustment in place it will offset on retailers and exporters. While we might see the market reacting to news about the border adjustment, the more people realize its one of the pieces holding the american tax cut plan together, the more they will realize its value for the entire economy. Charles does this level the Playing Field . Does this make up for the fact that mexico reimburses exporters with a vat tax . Or do we need to go further with tariffs and other measures . I dont think we need to go further with respect to tariffs. The bored adjustment means all income from sales in the United States is taxed the same, whether you are a Foreign Company selling into the United States or a u. S. Company selling into the United States. It really does level the Playing Field. Charles four of Donald Trumps cabinet picks face a trial by fire in their Senate Confirmation hearings. They all survived. But i cant say unscathed. We have the news for you next. Charles president elect trumps key cabinet picks faced a firing squad. Tom price grilled for almost four hours and wilbur ross faced grilling questions on trade and tariff. One thing where we need careful attention to mortar river activity is the antidumping requirements that we should impose on the Steel Industry and on the he aluminum industry. Charles gina, starting with last night with the betsy devos when backle. It was like debacle. It was like water torture. I think they violated human rights. They dont even wait for answers. They are just brow beating these folks. There is such a double standard. Tough listen to their line of questioning, where they were questioning especially dr. Price today, its mind boggling the peopleitting there questioning have dont things that they are accusing dr. Price of doing by he hasnt done and its been proven fake news. It doesnt stop them from their desperate, schizophrenic attempt to undermine the presidency. They are more interested in his stock portfolio than what he would do at health and human services. I want to take a look at Elizabeth Warren. She had a go at dr. Price. She showed herself last night when she wouldnt even shake betsy devos hand. Can you assure this committee that you will not cut one dollar from either medicare or medicaid should you be confirmed to this position . I believe the metric ought to be the care that the patients are receiving. Is your answer no . Its the wrong metric. We ought to be putting forth the resources. Im asking you a question about dollars. You might want to print out president elect trumps statement, im not going to cut medicare or medicaid, and post that above your desk in our new office. Charles we know some of this is setting up the Republican Party later on, if something doesnt go right, they can refer back to these hearings and sound bites. She really put pressure on dr. Price. To her liberal base she did. Had the American People been forked idea Elizabeth Warren is championing then the democrats would have wouldnt senate and house, which they didnt do. The republicans kept the Republican Senate in the house because we thought we are going to get rid of obamacare and put together a system that makes healthcare more affordable and makes sure people get access to a doctor. That they get to see a doctor of their choice. But let me also say, while Elizabeth Warren espouses that, the reality is you have 10 democrats who said they want to make changes to obamacare including 10 democrats who represent states that donald trump won in 2016 that they have thesee reelection in 2018. Hearings and the democrats start throwing hay makers and grenades we should stand up and thank harry reid for putting in a simple majority nuclear option. I think all four nominees today did their jobs, they told people what their vision is for their department and how they are going to make america better. I was impressed with nikki haley standing up for is rail the way she did and telling everyone the u. N. Is nothing more than a place for tyrants and dictators top lecture western democracies on how we should behave. Menendez wasnt happy with the pardon last night. Real quick, gina. Does this seem like an extension of this post election effort to delegitimize donald trump through his nominees . R a lot of this stuff doesnt seem to have anything to do with policy its about personal things to mitigate this history, the record or the achievements of these people. Its amazing to me, charles that they havent come up with anything actually such and tough. Its got to be difficult to fully vet these people. But apparently the Trump Administration has done a great job or the vetting committees. So far they havent come up with anything i have seen is substantive at all. You have some of the establishment gop like the bushes writing recommendation letters for these people even though we know they are not big fans of president elect trump. So he has done a fabulous job. I think these people will be great and i think they will all be confirmed. Charles the social Justice Warrior barack obama passed out a record amount of get out of jail cards free, but a lot of them are indefensible. Well discuss it next. Just like the people who own them, every business is different. Or protecting your work. Legalzooms network of attorneys can help you, every step of the way.

Chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence in the sense the sentence she received was very disproportional. I feel very comfortable that justice has been served and commuting her system was entirely appropriate. Charles president obama and his final press Conference Addressing the controversial decision to commute the sentence of chelsea manning. Why the president s recordbreaking 1597 clemency recipients pay to move of course in making National Security on both sides of the island green Vice President elect mike pence. Watch. To commute private mannings sentence was a mistake. Private manning is a traitor and should not have been turned into a martyr. Charles joining me now to discuss the views captain chuck nash and captain whittaker. Sheriff ive got to say review. The implications and i know the barack obama crowd is saying these are typically nonviolent felonies and i think he is trying to send a message. Hes the only president who has ever visited a federal prison but is he sending the wrong message . Absolutely not just to the men and women in Law Enforcement across america but to families across america that their safety , that our laws and all these other people releasing criminals and commuting this many sentences, keep in mind not just the 1400 but you have 504 of these that were life sentences. So this is wrong and its far more than any president all the way back to nixon. The most was bill clinton at 61 commutations. We have from 61 all the way up to nearly 1400. This is outrageous. Charles captain nash the average assured on both sides of the aisle. Defense secretary carter senator manchin and senator menendez. These are all democrats who are scratching their heads in many of them offended by the message that sends to release manning. No one understands what broke this. Perhaps her with the Lgbt Community or the transgender community. Whats going on here . Well i think you just put your finger on it, charles. Private manning has not been going through government paid for sex change i doubt it would have been a blip on the president s radar but instead she, whatever that is in transition right now, is responsible for leaking 700,000 pages of classified information from multiple agencies to wikileaks which then got published and trashed their military relationships in our state department relationships for several years with Foreign Countries because they were afraid to talk to us because we were leaking like a sieve. When you try to put all that together to do it a counterintelligence Damage Assessment is not just one source. One source feeding multiple 700,000. The permutations from the counterintelligence perspective are staggering. Charles i have even read where it had implications that it empowered isis but today at his press conference his final press conference president obama said the sentence i guess was too long and that manning has actually served time. So he is not sending the wrong message. Well it does and this is the president that appears cannot be serious about mishandling classified information from the start and really congress is the one that decided because of the risk that the captain some point out of all these potential sources being exposed, soldiers on the battleground that volunteer to defend the freedoms that we all appreciate oftentimes taken for granted. I think the penalty should be harsh and the sentencing judge of the prosecutors and quite frank with the defense counsel are better situated to sentence a person than a president remotely in washington d. C. Taking on some celeb in this case. Charles sheriff we talk often about the recidivism of folks release and get no better than terror suspects at the wheel. Im not sure how many of these people will return to crime but it does send a message if you are considering for instance Oscar Lopez Rivera sebaceous act against this government to maybe do under the right president you will serve your prison sentence and still make a political statement. Absolutely and tha
