Right track . David, its fine to do more coordination. You can usually do that with an email or a phone call and tell the bureaucrats to get off their duffs and Work Together. If theyre curious about not funding terrorists, cut iran off from the world banking system, do the same with individual banks in pakistan and elsewhere and cut off various individuals we know who are bad guys. Theyre basic steps, but iran is the big one. If theyre not doing that, theyre not serious. In addition to iran, i think steve is absolutely right, but in addition to that, theyre still getting a lot of money from oil, about 500 million a year. We have had attacks on these oil supplies, but not enough, and there are also a lot of people in the region that are funneling money to them, right, some of our supposed allies . I think every administration going back to at least the first George Bush Administration knows but doesnt really talk about the fact that saudi arabia and qatar, their governments are financing these sunni rebels which eventually flows into the terrorists. Why do they do that . Because its a promise that the sunni rebels wont overthrow these governments. But it comes back to hurt us. So i think that trump, being master negotiator, has to negotiate with saudi arabia and qatar and use our leverage that were now entering this cheap energy boom that, hey, we dont need you. Were going to put the thumb on you guys now. Well talk about draining the swamps. Theres an example. Well talk about the swamp in washington, mike osanian. Heres the house report. God bless them, im sure they mean well, but the specific advice that steve and rich just gave isnt in this report. It looks frankly like a United Nations report. Dave, unless theres something in there that talks about taking control of the caliphate, then its not going to be effective at all. Thats why, no matter what you do in terms of trying to cut off their finances, unless you have Strong Military action, its not going to be effective. And sabrina, by the way, you also have people here that are trying to send money over there. As i reported in virginia, they caught one guy. Unless people think this is just an isolated case, you go in to search in the Justice Department website, look for Material Support and you find a whole list, dozens of individuals in this country, that are sending money or trying to, to isis. Right, and david, i feel like this has been a conversation weve had since september 11. Because we knew that people were being funded to initiate these attacks, and the money was going both ways. The proem is the government hasnt gotten any smaller in the past decade and a half. If anything, it has gotten bigger, its gotten more bureaucratic and more convoluted. So i worry sometimes in this approach to stamp out terrorism through different parts of government that we are somehow just entangling things more. We need to be very clear about what the mission is in each case. John is a big supporter for federal cases like this, right, john . Yeah. Without minimizing for a second the horrors of terrorism, what happened this past week in berlin, this is quite simply not going to work. We know this well in the United States. For decades the fed, politicians, theyve tried to restrict money flows. Money always reaches its intended target. So we empower the federal government even more and we wouldnt be a lick more safe. Lets stop grandizing government. They cant fix this. Bruce, it is the achilles heel, the funding, because without the funding they cant do much of anything except shout. Is there a way to do this . Is there a way to strangle their sources of funding . Well, i believe there is, and i will say that that report looked a heck of a lot better digitally rather than in print. But i would say that the president elect needs to take this seriously and move past tweeting about his secondplace finish in the popular vote here. It was a bipartisan report, which is a good thing. There is a lot of stuff in there. We have not had a successful as the president said, a successfully executed attack from a foreign source, so weve done some things right, but i think more coordination and taking it seriously is a good thing. And its the bipartisan. Steve, one of the problems about coordinating, particularly with the folks overseas, is how badly they have performed this week in trying to track down the terrorists. They finally killed the guy, but not before he crossed over many borders, and, in fact, europes approach to terrorism very often has the opposite effect. Some of the terror suspects who committed the attacks in paris a year ago and then fled to belgium were getting a lot of money from the governments welfare funding. Not only did they not keep them out, they were giving them money to boot. Thats the whole thing, especially in europe, they have an inadequate way of figuring out who is coming in. And when merkel a little over a year ago said she would take 2 million refugees, she quickly backed off from it, but if you dont have a mechanism of who is coming in, youve got problems. This comes back to barack obama who didnt create a safe zone in syria which would have kept those refugees from crossing into europe and saved us a lot of trouble and lives. Weve had a president the past seven and a half years who seems to watch the globalist perspective on these things, we all need to Work Together. Frankly, i dont want to Work Together with the clowns in europe who have missed tracking down some of these terrorists. I think the root of the problem with barack obama is he lacks the confidence and the fundamental virtue of the United States to actually use our leverage in the world, whether its with china, saudi arabia, qatar and iran, and i think things will change with donald trump. John, what do you think of that . There is a big difference between being antimurder and actually finding those people. Youre looking around the world for the tiniest bits of evidence, the idea that any president is going to succeed in stamping out murder seems as unrealistic as doing it in the United States. Bruce, one thing that unites the world is money, frankly. It doesnt have to do with religion, it doesnt have to do with race. I think if were going to Work Together at all, at least in the banking community, they could find ways of squeezing these terrorists, couldnt they . Oh, definitely, and when you think about what is alarm to go me on this whole russian hacking, if theyre able to i think people should Pay Attention and say if theyre able to hack into peoples emails, political figures, heads of states, they may wake up one morning to see that their 401 k is disappearing. I knew we would get back to the hacking. Start with iran and go after the others. We were once number 1, but youre not going to believe where the u. S. Has slipped to on the forbes list of best countries for business. The answer in what president elect trump can do to get us back on top, i was wondering if an electric toothbrush really cleans. Better than a manual, and my hygienist says it does. But. Theyre not all the same. Turns out, theyre really. Different. Who knew . I had no idea. So, she said look for. One thats shaped like a dental tool with a round. Brush head. Go pro with oralb. Oralbs rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to. Gently remove more plaque and. Oralb crossaction is clinically proven to. Remove more plaque than sonicare diamondclean. My mouth feels so clean. Ill only use an oralb the 1 brand used by dentists worldwide. Oralb. Brush like a pro. Swae is blal blal and you do something sensible at the fed and youre on your way. Just avoid a trade war, and these other measures, they will work. Especially getting rid of obamacare. Huge burden on small businesses, creation of small businesses. Bruce, will tax cuts get us there . Well, i think if theyre paid for and they do things and he holds to his promise of eliminating some things like the carried interest loophole and gives tax cuts to the middle class who elected him out in middle america, perhaps, but hes got to take things seriously and start governing and start tweeting. Sabrina, you know what always gets me that a tax cut has to be paid for. By whom is it going to be paid for . Its our money. We deserve that cash. It doesnt have to be paid for, does it . Right, exactly. Im actually really encouraged by some of trumps picks to run a number of different agencies. For instance, someone like pudster in the department of labor who understands if we want to get the economy moving again and make it good for business, we cant mandate leave wage. This comes from businesses undersnding whats good for them, and thats going to help not only employees, but consumers as well. Im encouraged by some of those picks. Im encouraged, too, but john, its amazing how weve gone from number one on that list, the most business friendly country in the world, to number 23. Thats an embarrassment. Its an embarrassment but its not so amazing when you consider the bad policy the past 16 years. So trump, at least so far, you could say is taking us in the right direction with tax cuts and deregulation. But there are dangerous signals out there. This week he appointed Peter Navarro and avowed protectionist. Trump will not be great nor the economy great if he goes protectionist and antidollar. Watch out. So bill, a lot of libertarians like john dont have that much hope for the future. I have hope. We could move a long way up on the rankings just by appealing the laws that smother employers. When you bury the hiring process in rules, mandates, legislation, we could live with that. We get the tax cuts, we get the regulatory cuts, but we get these trade difficulties with china and the rest of the world. Could that slow us down . I think trump has to talk tough on trade because he wants it. I think behind the scenes there will be a lotf bilateral trade reements and it wont be as bad as john thinks. And he is a negotiator. Everything that comes out of his mouth is the first stage in a trade process. Youve got people like wilbur ross who is trading with china all the time. Wilbur has also made some trade noises, but the key thing is what you actually do. You dont have to tear these things up, there are plenty of remedies in place. In terms of cyber theft and things like that, i think those things are issues that need to be addressed. Bruce, you look at where we have gone. I know you dont think trump has the right solutions or he hasnt broadcast them yet, as far as youre concerned, but how do we get back to the top spot . Weve gone from 1 to number 23. I think a lot of the things you didnt like about president obama with the stimulus and that brought us down to number 23, bruce. Thats right, so tax cuts, a lot of the economists say that they will blow a hinhe depp deficit. Steve, what do you think . I dont hold out a lot of hope tonight. Do you have trust, steve, in these economists . By the warks they hay, they hav reputation of being wrong much more than theyre right. Its wonderful that the democrats are now concerned about the deficit. The way you get rid of the deficit is by a booming economy, a little bit of spending strength. You get a bming economy by getting off oples backs in these crazy regulations and also reducing the burden in terms of taxation. Its always worked. Takehe real world, bruce. Reduce the burden, people respond. And this is to steves point, this is exactly why people shouldnt be crying over this new epa. We should, of course, want a clean and healthy environment, but these burdensome regulations are keeping businesses from growing. Theyreeeping businesses from finding jobs and theyre destroying huge segments of our economy. We should be excited about that and we should be enthusiastic as well about the potential for repeal in replacing obamacare. That has been a huge job killer. All of this can help raise our numbers very quickly. Were going to talk more about the environment coming up. Meanwhile, the gang is coming at the bottom of the hour. What do you got . The suspect in the berlin Christmas Market. Can that finally help us defeat the terrorists . How to be better people in 2017. See you at 11 30. Eric, we will be watching. But first, gifts for the greedies. President obama banning more offshore drilling in the u. S. He says its to protect the environment, but is he really environment, but is he really protecting Something Else . Environment, but is he really protecting Something Else . Ive spent my life planting a sizesix, nonslip shoe into that door. On this side, i want my customers to relax and enjoy themselves. But these days its phones before forks. They want wifi out here. But behind that door, i need a private connection for my business. Wifi pro from comcast business. Public wifi for your customers. Private wifi for your business. Strong and secure. Good for a door. And a network. Comcast business. Built for security. Built for business. Ways wins. Especially in my business. With slow internet from the phone company, you cant keep up. Youre stuck, watching spinning wheels and progress bars until someone else scoops your story. Switch to comcast business. With highspeed internet up to 10 gigabits per second. You wouldnt pick a slow race car. Then why settle for slow internet . Comcast business. Built for speed. Built for business. President obama says hes going to give one more Christmas Gift to the enenvironmentalist on gas drilling. On the flip side, this could end up stucking our Global Environmental stocking with dirty lumps of coal. Michael, explain this flip side. Anybody who wants a Clean Environment should hate this initiative by president obama. All this is going to do is give more market share to Oil Producers who do a much dirtier job than the u. S. Does. Bruce, we have plenty of examples. Terribly dirty oil drilling in venezuela, in eduador, in russia, et cetera. You will just be giving more market share to the dirty drillers. I think hes leading by example by saying this is what were going to do, we cant control what they do elsewhere. Who is drilling in the arctic, anyway . All you have to do is look at shell and its been a farce. It cost them 7 billion and its gone nowhere. Steve, a farce . Not at all when you reduce unnecessary regulation. Remove the barriers and people will be able to do it in a fine fashion. If they cant make money on it, they wont do it in the first place. But companies that have their money at stake decide whether these are promising fields or not, on land or offshore. Bill, what do you think . Im all for more drilling, but i dont think we should relax our environmental rules just because theyll drill somewhere else. By mikes logic, we should have more trial labor in the United States because conditions are even worse in bangladesh. But we are so much cleaner than the way they do things elsewhere in the world, and if you want a cleaner world environment, you give more market share to the cleaner drillers than the dirty ones. It seems simple. Of course. We do have all these regulations. I think its important that people start being grownups. Just because something makes you feel good doesnt mean its good policy. The fact is when we create these moratoriums on federal land, it just distorts the Energy Market. It drives up prices, and just to put it in perspective, it takes a company like marathon 300 days to get a permit to drill on those lands. It takes them 10 days to get a permit in north dakota where the Energy Market is booming, we jo we have jobs and we have affordable energy. Rich, what do you think of all this . God bless our incoming governor greg bergum and the outgoing governor. The achilles heel of the left, she had it right. It sounds great, Free Health Care for everybody, et cetera, but the practicality of it is something different. The left wing was against prudent bay oil, too. But since thats been open since 1977, we got 38 billion gallons of barrel from it. Its the people on the left who try to stop it. Thats a great point. Coming up, just in time for christmas. Our informers are giving stock picks to the boss himself, steve forbes. But will he keep their gifts or dump them like a lump of coal . Thats next.
