Waste. They say they fight disease. If you want to fight disease, go to Something Like the gates foundation. In terms of economic development, builds bureaucracies. This is a badly needed house cleaning, its just the beginning. David and bruce, its a management nightmare. The United Nations is run like kindergartens are run better. The u. N. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley spoke about this last week, lets listen. Just with the bureaucracy at the u. N. , you can trim a lot of fat. Everybody sees that, if its not effective, were going to call it out. David bruce, should we trim the fat . Listen, im all for trimming the fat, but when you have this white house thats engaged in its own bracket of march madness here, youre going to have to clone people like nikki haley to calm the diplomatic blunders of the president who keeps bringing up crazy surveillance allegations and ticking off the british and also, theyre not talking with the same voice here, you have Rex Tillerson saying you want to cut diplomates, which is fine, but meanwhile, the Defense Department wants to increase defense, i dont know if this will pass the point is that a place like the u. N. Is run terribly. They waste money, and these cuts do the very least, i would think, to try to tackle some of that. Yeah, i dont think they cut enough. In my perfect world, what they would have done, wouldnt have appointed anyone to the u. N. , but weve got to remember the protecting the free world comes at a major expense to our safety and the health of the u. S. Economy. These dollars would otherwise fund good idea and theyre not, theyre funding awfulness. David its about 8 billion the United States is paying for the u. N. , thats a lot more than any other nation spends. Thats right, david. I think theres a big difference between the u. N. , a perpetually corrupt organization and the state department at home. For the u. N. , the United States is the number one supporter. We provide about a quarter of the funding, both general operating support, as well as the Peace Keeping efforts. So, while i think Ambassador Haley made a good point its not going to be a flash and burn approach, theres room for improvement, so to speak, and the u. N. Needs to change its tune if they want the United States. David and there are horrendous examples, theres corruption galore there. The u. N. Development fund is routinely commandeered and taken by regimes, north korea, zimbabwe, you name it. About 128 countries there, they give only less than 1 of the budget and they get to vote on the budget and how its spent. They have no skin in the game. Major human rights abusers, no skin in the game and why do they care. David dont they have extravagant expense accounts and chefs . That happened at the state department, called the Culinary Diplomacy Program which about eight dozen or so chefs were hired to cook overseas and for dignitaries. David weve lost sight what were spending on the state department and you caauxiliary. Its not about Climate Change and social change in countries, not about the overseas private Corporation Fund which is going to be cut according to the trump budget which is just crony capitalism . David, when you have taxpayers at your disposal, your budget can be whatever you want it to be or your mission can be whatever you want it to be. As we see with many government programs, they continue to grow. My biggest concern is what the countries contribute, when you need the u. N. The most, it fails. There is a genocide going on in south sudan, the u. N. Has done nothing. There there there theres those against christians and u. N. Doing nothing. David and what theyre getting involved in. Climate change, i think the real Climate Change needs to focus on diplomacy and not the extraneous activities. Time and time again, the more they throw in, the more they hurt the countries that receive the dough. David bruce, lets focus on one thing that they want cut, that the Trump Administration wants cut. The overseas private investment corporation, do we really need to spend money on this . When the u. N. And state department has to go with, you know, when we have a situation like ebola, okay . We helped the nigerians build their health system, its in our interest to prevent that from spreading. And so, thats what we need, a line item to go through and john, were not talking about ebola here. If you can show me the anecdotes where we help with spending. But to mikes point, were talking about taxpayers. Its not the governments money, every dollar spent on these ideas is a dollar thats not going to a future apple or microsoft. Bingo. And expand our living. Thats the issue. D. C. Has been in bubble world because d. C. s been a boomtown off of our tax money. When you take that money away from them. They have a fit because its a loss of power. David and sabrina, this is the swamp that needs to be drained, right . It is and i like it here, but it is a swamp. Look, i think that the things of the state department, too, everyones getting a little hysterical about it. Weve been engaged in a lot of overseas conflicts were now sort of withdrawing from, which means some of the funding is going away sort of naturally. You point out its not just some of the crony capitalism, its things like cultural and exstrange programs. There are a lot of private groups that execute those things and we dont necessarily need the federal government. David simple, its our money, thats what mick mulvaney, the budget director said this week, its all about our money. Should the folks in indiana, or california, or coal miners in west virginia, do they want to spend money for pizza franchises in moscow . No, especially when they find out that Peyton Manning owns a lot of papa johns franchises laughter . I think what theyre looking for an accountability. In the private sector you have to be account items, thats what theyre trying to get at it. David last word from mike. Look who is calling the health care bill, nothing other than john gruber, obamacare. Its time to call out the hypocrisy. Dear predictable, theres no other way to say this. Its over. Ive found a permanent escape from monotony. Together, we are perfectly balanced. Our senses awake. Our hearts racing as one. I know this is sudden, but they say. If you love something set it free. See you around, giulia i moved upstate because i was interested in building a career. I came to ibm to manage global clients and big data.

No, im talking before that. Do you have things you want to do before you retire . Id really like to run with the bulls. Wow. Hope youre fast. I am. Gea portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change with Investment Management services. Im elizabeth prann, now back to forbes on fox. David the obamacare architect is back, and hes on the attack. Remember him, jonathan gruber. Wool he a take a listen to what hes saying about the g. O. P. S Health Care bill. Any replacement they would pass would result in millions of americans losing health insurance, would result in higher premiums, and would result in a huge redistribution from the poor to the rich. Now, if theyre happy with that and willing to do that, then they can replace. I wouldnt call that a replacement, i would call that a scam. David so the g. O. P. s bill is a scam. I guess he forgot what he said about how democrats passed obamacare. The lack of transparency is a huge political advantage and call the stupidity of the American Voter or whatever, basically that was rely, really critical to get the thing to pass. David and steve, you say thats hypocrisy at its finest or maybe we should say at its worse. Yeah, it gives hypocrisy a bad name for a guy like that to criticize. Whatever the flaws, its vast improvement over obamacare, gets rid of the individual mandate, and employer mandate, hundreds of billions in taxes. Obamacare is collapsing, it hurt people and made it more expensive, 12,000 deductibles, hello, mr. Gruber, did you pay 12,000 in deductibles before you came along . It wasnt just gruber, it was obamacare when it was spun out. Here are just some of the promises that were made, premiums are going to go down, keep your health care plan, no increased we said right here, we knew that couldnt happen and it d did. Certainly there are issues that need to be taken care with the individual market, but in the trump care, ryan care plan, they are still creating 100 billion dollar fund to dole out among the Insurance Companies and theres still an individual mandate in the form of a surcharge which wouldnt go back to the government, it would go to the Insurance Companies that would charge not 695, but at least 1500 if you had a 400 a month plan. David fair point, but emack, remember, obamacare, there were tens of billions of dollars of subsidies to the insurers. They were getting most of oba more than g. O. P. Bill. That has not changed. To your point, this is jonathan gruber, right . The stupidity of the American Voter led us to hide obamacares true costs, thats what hes saying. I think he hasnt changed. Hes saying that stupidity of the American Voter is making me hide the true cost savings that could happen under this plan. Remember, his thinking was, its really, really critical to hide things from people to get things passed. He hasnt changed. David youve got to hide it and easy to hide because americans are stupid, thats what he also said. Mike, we should say, mike, that a number of conservatives do think, at least part of this plan is a scam as well, right . Well, i cant believe im going to say this, david, but as much as i agree with the that hes a hypocrite, david gruber. David peter gruber. Jonathan gruber. Jonathan gruber, well get it there. I think this republican plan is a catastrophe. I think we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to make Health Care Insurance what it should be, which is insurance rather than a means of providing health care. Theres a back doorway to the individual mandate, still has preexisting conditions, huge subsidies, with tax credits. Were going the wrong way here. David well, and sabrina and they make work that out, the republicans, because the president wants to be the mediator between the two groups. Focusing again on the calls from democrats like gruber that this is a scam, for all that theyve been football for, is it really fair for them to call this a scam . This is the pot calling the kettle black. If i recall, obamacare was passed in the middle of the night. I dont think a whole lot of transparency. If we want to talk about transparency, one thing we need in health care is transparency, Price Transparency so consumers know what they cost and should cost and we do not have that under obamacare and thats the direction we ought to be moving . And there are a lot of points that maybe could be added to or taken from the current g. O. P. Plan, john, but most americans when you poll them, they think that obamacare left on its own will fail. And thats, i think thats the important i think this. Obamacare was going to die of its own contradictions as it was, and thats my problem with the republican approach. Of course, repeal what makes, is an offense to common sense, but dont replace, because your replacement almost as a rule is going to be awful, too. If you repeal, there is demand for health care in this country, Market Forces will solve it, just as they solved any other human need. David okay, but, steve, there is a change in attitude in the country, actually donald trump talked about that this week saying that maybe some people would have a feeling of nostalgia as much as they disliked it a year ago, theres so much spin on this. A recent poll shall the numbers reversed, two years ago, the vast majority of people m an unfavorable view of obamacare. Now, those numbers are pretty much switched. Because the media and the democrats have dominated the narrative, david. Everyone thinks now its not just reforming of failed system, but people, tens of millions of people are going to be thrown in the streets, your bills are going from 20,0 t 50,000 a year in terms of deductibles and what people have led to be believe and thats why the republicans are losing support and theyve got to pull ahead, do whats right and work it out. David thats what the president says he plans to do. The cashin in gang getting ready to roll at the bottom of the hour. What have you got . Hi, david, Donald Trumps leaked tax return shows he paid a higher tax rate than president obama and Bernie Sanders. Time for them to get off the witch hunt. And a brand new artificial infell against, bill gates says any robot replacing a human worker should be taxed. Is he right. David an ai tax. Declaring war on the environment, some liberals say the president is doing that with major cuts to the epa. Some here say hes just trying to protect our economy. We this is the silverado special edition. This is one gorgeous truck. Oh, did i say theres only one special edition . Because, actually theres five. Ooohh aaaahh uh hooooly mackerel. Wow. Nice. Strength and style. Its truck month. Get 0 financing for 60 months plus find your tag and get 5500 on select Chevy Silverado pickups when you finance with gm financial. Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. Some environmentalists accusing the Trump Administration of declaring war on the environment. It saves plans to slash epa funds and staff and regulations are going to harm our health. But what it will do is protect our economy. How so, john . Well, trumps critics get it exactly backwards. What puts our environment at risk is the Economic Growth when the economy is not growing we dont car as much about the environme so th paradoxical truth is that if you want to improve the environment, slash the epa budget and allow the u. S. Economy to grow. David well, slashing the budget is the phrase to use, bruce. This is a 31 cut in the epa. Thats whats proposed. Its the biggest cut of the agencies, 2. 6 billion dollars, what do you think . Welcome, you cant improve the economy of a place like flint, michigan, if you dont have clean water to drink, so you have situations in these budgets at epa, you have great lakes has pollution cleanup programs that are in there. I mean, who is going to take care of that . I mean, if this is going to be cut, thats a bad thing. David so, steve, what about that . If you have killing water and air, you cant have any economy at all . Well, the fact of the matter is, john is right, first you need the resources to do it, david. But also the epa wastes a lot of money on fuel standards, on this clean power act, which would put the utilities out of business, gratuitously and in terms of cleaning up water, the funds are there to do it, specific programs, but the epa has gone way, way beyond that. You could cut that agency in half and wed have a cleaner environment. David emack its not happened, 31 is a big cut. Some of the cuts bring the epa and other agencies back to where they were ten years ago. I agree with steve, you know, we dont want pollution, we want clean water, but lets get rid of the costly circus plate spinning acts like biofuels and solar and wind and let the market figure that out. David and, mike, its not just cash that Trump Administration is cutting, its also some of the regulations. This is the fuel efficiency standards. President obama wanted to switch it to 54. 5 miles per gallon by 2025. Thats a huge thing. This week, trump said, no, were not going to go with that anymore. And trump is absolutely right. One of the things the fuel standards have done, david, theyve caused Auto Companies to make much lighter cars which make them more dangerous and raise the price. Under obama, epa added almost 4,000 of rules, costing the economy 50 billion. David sabrina, we dont have much time, but are the cuts going to remain . I hope so. The epa has become an Ideological Organization which is why its not effective. To bruces point the reason that a place like flint, michigan happened. The idea that pouring more money into the epa would help the people in flint, michigan would be insane. The poor people are still buying water because they dont trust the government. David good riddance winter and hello spring. The stock ready to spring forward with a new season. Afoot and lighthearted i take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. The east and the west are mine. The north and the south are mine. All seems beautiful to me.

Emack, a collection of spots. An spdr, aerospace and defense, its high right now, i think it moves higher due to the president s defense spending. David yeah, mike, hes going to beef up defense spending. Sure is. Great cost efficiency, very chief. Im concerned about fire power, up 40 the past year. David you like home depot yeah . To me, spring means going back to home depot, fertilizer, mulch and yardwork and plus, the company is more efficient. Same store sales. David elizabeth, what do you think . Analysts on wall street like it, better Customers Service than lowes they say. David keep it here, the number one business block continues with eric bolling and cashin in. Eric the tax return leak, the liberal medias game of gotcha has hyped as a bombshell for president trump, but turns out he paid 25 in 2005, higher than former president obama, Bernie Sanders and even mitt romney paid. Is the left trying to make something out of nothing again and again and again. And our panel, welcome, everybody. The media thought they had them, but trump was triumphant. This is the biggest media flop story of the week, eric
