With continental, and he has come back from illness. Everyone an outraged. When people have a camera, things like this go global. And why do they overbook so much. Confrontation with russia, secretary tillerson says, take sides. Youre with us or with iran and hezbollah. Hes going to moscow, but putin will not meet with him. Tax reform. No firm plan, no firm timetable and on the markets, no correction, but the trump rally is clearly on pause, saying it every day. Were all about politics and money and today well throw in passenger dragging. Varney company is about to begin. [yelling] oh my gosh no my god, what are you doing . No, this is wrong oh, my god, look at what you did to him . Stuart that video is all over social media after United Airline removed that passenger against his will to make room for crew on an overbooked flight. The premarket is down over 2 . Earlier, it was down 6 . Now, here is an excerpt from a leaked email from united ceo to employees, the quote. He, that is the passenger was approached a few more times after that, in order to gain his compliance to come off the aircraft. And each time, he refused and became more and more disruptive and belligerent. I think there are going to be consequences from this. I would suspect that the airlines are taking a look at overbooking, i think maybe the ceos job is threatened and airlines have become the most unpopular industry second only perhaps to lawyers and politicians. [laughte [laughter] can you guess . Let me introduce the guy and hes here. Wait a second, when i buy an airline ticket, i think im buying a contract. Yes, you are. Stuart and that contract says i can be removed from the flight, not once im on board, and i can be denied access. Once they put you in the seat you have an absolutright to stay there, as long as youre complying with the rules of civility which this fellow was, the argument that he was belligerent is belied by the tape which is being complaint. Hes screaming in pain because they struck him and beat him about the face and bleeding as they drag him out. So we have the violation of a contract, which obviously gives right to a lawsuit for whatever his damages are, we have not overbooking. We have the wish to replace fee paying passengers with nonpaying united employees who need to get from one city to the next, who very easily could have gotten to the next city on another flight or by another means. And then we have the gross overreaction by the police and the use of force in a case where its absolutely not indicated. The police do not exist to be the pawns of private people to resolve their disputes. Stuart okay. First of all, it was not the Chicago Police department. It was not their not sure what police it was. Stuart it was aviation, what have i got here . An Aviation Security officer and hes been placed on leave. And secondly, judge, i dont believe that the Aviation Security officer struck the passenger. He may have struck his head on the way out. But look at this from the passengers point of view for a second. If i board a ticket to get on a plane, i bought it, i paid for it, ive been through security and im sitting on that plane, theres no way on gods green earth that i should be asked to get up and leave. If they interrogate you while youre sitting there and have reason to believe that you pose a danger to the flight. How was this guy chosen, algorithm. Whatever human being was in that seat has to go. Im harsh on this police force, whatever it is, the federal force or a local force, because the police should not be in the business of using force, unless a crime is being committed and politely sitting on a seat where the airline says you dont belong and you have every right to be there is not a crime and does not call for use of force. Stuart im with you all the way. Im going to take 30 seconds, producer, please be aware. Ashley webster has a story of ashley happened to me in london to nashville. Got to chicago, changed planes, went to the ticket desk, got my boarding pass and my wife, we sat down, the plane pulled away from the gate, our luggage was loaded, full plane, suddenly the plane goes back in. Opens the door, someone calls out my name, my wifes name, they wanted us to leave. The family showed up at the last moment, one extra seat, when we left the family could get on. I refused i said no. Liz this was christmas eve. Ashley they said you have to leave now. I said no, it got heated and heated. And they said were going to call the marshal and i said, great, he can arrest you for did you go selling the fee. Money fee and hotel, christmas eve. My kids were waiting for it. The kicker our luggage went to nashville so we had no presents for the next day and the presents had gone. What airline . American airlines, i still, it bubbles to the surface again, this was in 2009. Thanks for the story, ashley. Ashley oh, my goodness. Stuart a three hour show for that. Lets move on to politics, serious stuff here, not that your story is not serious. Ashley no, no. Stuart this is politics, okay . Secretary of state tillerson travels to russia today. He will not meet with russias president Vladimir Putin. This is to some degree an escalation of the confrontation. What is tillerson telling the russians, liz. Liz hes saying its clear the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. We want to relieve the suffering of the syrian people. Russia can be a part of that or keep the alliance with syria and iran. That axis there. Hes saying that we believe that this will not serve russias longterm interest, if they do side with syria and iran, hes saying now that the distinction, whether russia was complicit or incompetent about syrias chemical weapons and the deal to get rid of them doesnt matter to the dead. He said we cannot let this happen again. Stuart strong statement. All right, theres another confrontation, this is with north korea, the u. S. Aircraft carrier headed to the korean peninsula. North korea says its ready for war, wait a second, ash, did they use that word . No, they didnt. And here is the statement with the carrier off the peninsula, we will hold the u. S. Wholy responsible for the coequences to be entailed by outrageous actions and comes after the u. S. Launched the air strikes on syria in turn sends a message to pyong yang. Stuart today at the white house, the president holds a meeting with leading ceos. The g. O. P. Remains divided on tax reform and a schedule for tax plan keeps being pushed back. James freeman, wall street journal editorial guy is with us this morning. I see this as bad news, flatout. No plan and no timetable. Bad news. Well, what i am concerned about, we see gary cohn kind of consolidating his power in the white house on economic policy. I dont know if he believes first and foremost that we need Economic Growth. And that should be the priority in tax reform. And you see it where the Donald Trump Campaign plan with tax cuts across the board. Dont worry whether it means washingtons accounting standards, weve got to grow the economy. Youre seeing now, an emerging message. Maybe we dont want to let rich people have tax cuts and a lot of concerns other than how do we grow the economy. I think this is going to work out, but theres cause for concern here. The cause for concern is that gary cohn is running the ship now. The tax reform ship. Gary cohn is a democrat actually and has no interest in i dont know about this, but i dont think hes got any interest in across the board tax cuts for individuals, High Net Worth and across the board tax cuts for companies. I see this muddled, messy and not good news. I still think its going to work out because you saw from candidate trump what he wants to do with the tax system. How he prioritizes growth. You see that on capitol hill. So, i think this can work out, but they really have to focus here on big reforms because if youre talking about that world leading corporate rate of 35 , bringing it down to the high 20s is not going to be a game changer. Thats well above the averages in europe and our major competitors. Youve got to get that corporate rate to 20 or more. And youve got to get personal income tax down as well and thats how you fire up the economy. It looks like a limited plan, and the Corporate Tax rate, thats very, very limited and thats not good, is it . It can be pro growth if youve got a competitive tax rate, but you need work on the individual side, too, you need incentives for them to work, save and invest just like the corporate code. Despite all of this, theres no correction of the trump rally, im shocked. Weve still got very low interest rates. The feds are talking about it, shrinking the portfolio, but this is a driver for stock prices. Theyre buying money very cheaply and can buy back their stock. I want to check for tesla. The news there, its official, its now more valuable company than both ford and General Motors, its up again this morning, 3. 13. He says that north korea is looking for trouble and will take them on with or without china. And churches that were bombed by terrorists on palm sunday, more varney after this. Yes . Please repeat the objective. Thrivent mutual funds. Managed by humans, not robots. Before investing, carefully read and consider fund objectives, risks, charges and expenses in the prospectus at thriventfunds. Com. Did you see it yesterday . Whole foods very nice pop yesterday, after activist investor took a stake. They want whole foods to sell itself. Dead flat after the pop yesterday. Now, pope francis is going to visit egypt this month and hes going to visit two churches which were bombed by islamic terrorists on palm sunday. Can you give me details. Liz the pope got word of the bombing during mass on sunday. He will be visiting the april 28th and 29th and invited by both the grand imam of cairo and the coptic pope. He has condemned the bombing. There is concern, of course, about the continued attacks on christians there and the murders of christians there. Terrorists have christians reportedly on a hit list and a target list. And the christians there apparently supported the overthrow. And theres a complicated issue and the pope is going to come out condemning it, whether he says more about improving security for christians in churches in cairo and the rest of egypt remains to be seen. Stuart hes going this month. Got it. Thank you, liz. Secretary of state tillerson will be in moscow tomorrow, but Vladimir Putin is not ing to meet with him. Do you support this is an ultimatum, essentially tillerson is giving an ultimatum to the russians, youre either with us, or with hezbollah or iran. Make your mind up, which is it . Confrontation. Tillerson is definitely getting a different reception than couple of years ago with the friendship award from putin. Im personally glad that tillerson is not getting the john kerry treatment from putin. Dont forget he was the last secretary of state putin met with and he went on meet the press and announced that 100 of all the chemical manufacturing facilities have been taken out. It was peace in our time. So im glad that Rex Tillerson is not getting the john kerry treatment from putin. Stuart it is a confrontation. Its escalation here. Theres no sign hes backing off tillerson especially. Do you agree with that. Absolutely. I think that putin and other thugs are beginning to find out that this is not a president who has a wish bone where his backbone ought to be. This is a president who leads and i think theyre finding out that real American Leadership is back on the world stage and, stuart, i think that Vladimir Putin just might be playing poker with the wrong guy in time. Stuart we shall see. But theres confrontation of another time. President trump tweeted this morning, its a warning to north korea. Here he is. North korea is looking for trouble. If china decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them, usa. Now, thats a complete turn around, in our policy towards north korea and its another confrontation. How do you feel about that . This president has inherited the most complex National Security situation. Hes done so with a military at an alltime low in terms of readiness, army cut to preworld war ii levels. Make no mistakes. The president has to look at this and i put north korea at the top. The Weapons Program is a threat to t country. Were in the 59th minute of the 11th hour dealing th the north korean threat because prior administrations, both republican and democrat kicked the can down the road and this president has got to deal with it. Stuart if the North Koreans fire off more missiles headed out to sea, do you think that President Trump would shoot them down . Well, hes deployed that kind of capability and weve got a great Missile Defense capability in alaska and california. Weve go that capability. What im looking to is on saturday. Saturday marks the 101st im sorry, 105th anniversary of kim ilsungs birthday. Its usually on his birthday they fire off a missile and conduct a nuclear test. Look to see what he does on saturday and what the u. S. Response will be. Stuart what do you think . Do you think mr. Trump will shoot down a missile, do you . Well, what i like about this president it is do you think he will . I dont know, hes got a full range of options and the truth is there are no good options. Theres a reason theyre called the hermit nation. We have no idea what is going on there. And Rex Tillerson indicated that the chinese would help us. Where they can help us the most is getting good intelligence as to what is going on inside the hermit kingdom. Stuart thanks for joining us, sir. Apprecia it. More action at the white house today, presint trumps Holding Another Meeting with his ceo panel. Here is the question, are all of these meetings helping us get closer to a deal on tax cuts .

Come on in, Fox News Contributor steve cortez who was a member of the Trump Transition Team and the Trump Campaign and the rest of it. You, sir, are an insider. So im going to put it like this. President trumps running out of time. Get on with it what do you say . Stuart, i think that time is of the essence. You are correct, but i believe that hes going to get this done. This is holy week, stuart. I have faith in our president. I believe he is going to get this done. He has to. Stuart hold on a second. We hear that some of the shots being called inside the white house are being called by gary cohn. Gary cohn does not have much interest in across the board personal income tax cuts. Hes big on infrastructure and big on Corporate Tax cuts. Thats not going to do the job, steve. Stuart, i concur and by the way, thats not what President Trump ran on. He ran on across the board tax cuts. Tax cuts for everyone and particularly for middle income earners, people who havent had a pay raise yet in this century and partly because of onerous tax policy so i dont know that gary cohn is advocating against individual tax cuts, but if he is then im on the other side of that in the trump train. If President Trump doesnt get individual tax cuts done this year, that Trump Presidency is in real trouble. Im sorry, ive got to take a break because were coming back for the opening of the market. Steve stay there, were coming back are for the opening of the market. Were down 10 or 15 points, are you surprised 20,5, 600, its amazing, isnt it . Back in a moment. 30 seconds till the opening bell and we bring you this, thats an airport near moscow where secretary of state Rex Tillerson is expected to arrive within the hour. You maybe ought to see some smoke at the airport there. Were told theyre burning grass and debris around the perimeter. Nothing to worry about secretary of state tillerson arriving at that airport shortly. Okay. Three seconds, two seconds, boom were off and running on a tuesday morning. Where are we opening . Down 13 points, down 20 points. Thats the state of the market, a lot of red on the side there. Im sure the market is worried about a lack of timetable, lack of content for the tax reform. I think the market is getting nervous. Well ask the panelists about that, thats my judgment, the market is worried about the schedule for tax cut. Were barely holding at 20,600. Now, the stock of the morning, where the big story is, thats United Airlines. Its down 2 . A lomore on this coming, of course, because of the draggin incident with e united passenger in chicago sunday night. Were still talking about it, and there are serious consequences for the company and ceo. Take a look at the automakers. Because, teslas market value surpasses of that General Motors. Tesla close to its alltime high, worth more than gm and worth more than ford. Whole food, whoa, nice pop yesterday. Dead flat this morning to slightly higher. An activist partner, thats Janna Partners have taken a 9 stake. Whats going to happen to whole foods . Up as talks today. Tuesday morning, were off and running and down 25 points. Who is covering this . Ashley webster, elizabeth mcdonald. James freeman and mike murphy. Now, i say if we dont get a tax cut and a deal on tax cuts, a knowledge of a tax cut soon. I say weve got a correction coming. Mike murphy, are you going to take me on . I will take you on there. In a sense, we do need the tax cuts, we do need tax reform, stuart, its coming. Everyone knows its coming and just getting it out there. What do you mean, eve
