Investigation of destrip nunes practices. Its supposed to be an investigation into possible russian interference in the election and russian surveillance. Charles there has been whole lot of factors. But essentially what we are talking about is potential collusion. Thats one of the angles, potential unmasking. There has been some form of unmasking, but maybe well find out who was involved tonight and if the reasoning for it was to embarrass the Trump Administration and delegitimize the incoming administration. This has to be one of the leakiest administrations we have ever seen. They are coming not only from obamaera officials. But also werent administration itself. I think its upon fair that adam schiff who is part of the gang of 8, the 8 people on the Intelligence Committee who are given access to the most classified information people in Congress Need that information. He should get the same information that is selectively given out to people inside the administration. The administration is only give the information to those who they think will help them with their narrative. Charles the idea that the Outgoing Administration took a program that had only 20 people had ability to do this socalled unmasking. Lastminute decisions by the Administration Made it so scores and scores of people had access to this information. Maybe it was done deliberately on the intent for unmasking. Certain individuals to delegitimize the new president and maybe 10 going so far as to embarrass the new president. The reality is we dont know a lot more today than we did a day or two weeks ago. We need tolet this play out and get us back on track. Right now all this is doing is serving to undermine confidence further in the government. I want to ask about whats happening with President Trump and the gop because there are fault lines that in my mind are becoming big, deep cracks. You have President Trump and the tuesday group of and the establishment, paul ryan, reince priebus, and there is a lot of serious issues here, dan. If they dont get this together. There are legitimate worries, this grand agenda, America First agenda could fall through these cracks. President trump had an ambitious agenda. I understand hes frustrated. There was a plan to get rid of obamacare. He ran on it, members of congress ran on it and when they had the ability to do it paul ryan almost put a bill on the house floor that wouldnt have done it. Charles i get that the heritage packs group was against this. But now the tide is shifting and more and more people are pointing fingers at your organization. They say you made the opportunity of the good and derailed the agenda. We wanted to make sure the bill that went to trumps desk was a good bill. Conservatives want to work with him and get a good bill, but its the moderate republicans saying maybe well just work with democrats. Democrats dont want to repeel obamacare. Mod trats pick up if the phone and talk to conservatives. There is lots of finger pointing to be done. But lets face it. The House Freedom of caucus, they got great principles. They are a lot like libertarians. There is a reason libertarians dont have their hands on the levers of power. Compromise to the House Freedom caucus is a dirty word. But you cant get anything done in washington without giving a little to get a little. Taunting the rest of the Republican Party and making themselves contrarian, its not just their fault this fell. Moderate republicans were also against it. They made the perfect the enemy of the good. There is no such thing as a perfect law in washington. Charles i happen to be a fan of the Freedom Caucus and tea party. I do believe this is a junky bill. I think paul ryan is pat fault if you are going to point fingers. But i also think its time to move on. I agree. But this was not a good bill. Make it a better bill. They passed it it would have been great in one sense. Charles by 2020, everyones premiums are through the roof, and the Insurance Companies are still in control. A lot of the key issues are still in place. According to quinnipiac, this bill had a 17 approval rating. Waltz center anthe left of the conferce. Get a better bill. Further deregulate so the premiums will go down and the coverage numbers will go up. Charles we come in friday, maybe paul ryan speaks. The tweeting starts happening. Even this morning we had going back and forth, specific names thrown out by President Trump. You know, mark meadows and on thers. You dont want to see him going to the districts. You dont want to see him campaigning against them. You hope this some form difficult ploasm i going on behind the scenes because the stakes are high. I understand the president s frustration. But just bang on these guys on twitter is not productive. He wont follow through and defeat them their districts. Focus on the substance in getting a better bill. Charles dan, how do we get a better bill . Where does Heritage Action from the bill that was pulled last friday, the bill that was pulled, what would you compromise on from that bill or what we thought might have been in that bill since then . Is there anything you are willing to give on to get this done . There has been a lot of compromise already. But hsc chairman mark meadows stead if we can get a community rating. If we can repeal that. If we can get that one extra provision into this bill, that will be enough for most of the conservatives to get to yes. It will also be good policy. And its what we have to remember. The conservatives are trying to drive count premiums for people seeing 30 , 40 , 50 increase in premiums. Thank you all very much. Really appreciate. We are on the cusp of a manufacturing if remember sean, and today we got amazing proof. We got proof that is huge. Well discuss it with the guy who brought it to the president himself next.

President trump met with a group of manufacturers at the white house after news that level of opt number of among manufacturers is the highest ever. Jay timmins joins us now, he was at that meeting along with jay greenblatt. 53 optimism. The quarter before that we were 66 . And a year ago we were 56 . How does opt number of jump this high . I you have a president , someone in the white house and a congress focused on those policies that will help manufacturers be more competitive. You talk about a renaissance in manufacturing. The way to achieve that is if you have the right tax policies in place. You are exactly right. And thats why manufacturers are feeling pretty good about the future. Charles we got news out of the white house. More efforts to stem unfair trade. The Prime Minister of china comes to town. Steel will be a central focus. Are you seeing a sea shift in your business . I told President Trump today that we are at an Inflection Point right now where well see the economy launch, well see American Manufacturing renaissance happen, its such an exciting time. The poll result show thats manufacturers have that sentiment. They are getting ready to hire more people and buy more equipment its a very optimistic time. Charles the philadelphia report had a similar question in terms of the challenges. For you the number two challenge was the quality workforce. Labor shortages, 60 . Skills mismatch 68 . The numbers suggest we could be on all cylinders if we had the right workforce. What can we do about that in this country . 350,000 manufacturing jobs go unfilled today because we dont have the right skill set. If we dont fix tax policy and our regulations well create 3. 5 Million Manufacturing jobs in the next decade. So this is a problem business is taking on. We are working with institutions of higher education. We are working with secondary education and secondary schools to get people more interested in a manufacturing career. But we have to focus on science, technology, and mathematic courses to even courage young people to get focused on manufacturing and jobs that support manufacturing. Charles the thing i found interesting is the computer thing, 24 say we neat computers, but we have trouble with basic math, reading and writing. We are working the equipment and working the tools. There is a way that we can find folks who want to work. They can find some way to get these jobs. These jobs are great jobs. The average pay is 83,000 a year. That includes the benefits. If the companies an exporter its 95,000 a year. These are the kind of jobs we need to coddle. When we interview people, they dont know how to do a fraction, even though they have a high school degree. Or they dont know how to craft an email to our client like boeing or merck. And we have to teach basic math. Our schools need to up their game and give us better talent. And when need that Stem Education infused into all our schools. We need to focus on that, otherwise we are doing a massive disservice to this generation of kids graduating from school now. Charles congratulations on your trip to the white house. Coming up. Jeff sessions Getting Started on his crusade to end americas sanctuary cities. Liberty mutual stood with us when a fire destroyed everything in our living room. We replaced it all without touching our savings. Yeah, our insurance wont do that. No. You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty Mutual Insurance 80 of the American People believe the sanctuary cities are long. The Obama Administration sent out Grant Programs to assert people are in compliance with the law and cutting off various fund if they didnt comply. Well continue to pursue that and go even further. Charles Jeff Sessions telling bill oreilly that sanctuary cities face more than just loss of funding, hinting at charges. Steve rogers, i thought when he said in that sound bite, 80 of americans say these sanctuary cities are wrong, yet they persist and grow by 300 of them. You have state that want to become sanctuary states and defy their citizens and the white house. They are not going to get away from it. Steve they should get the Attorney Generals Office and the Department Justice to begin the process of prosecuting of officials breaking the law. Charles should you go after a high profile mayor right out the gate . If a person is running down the street, the police are chasing him and he knocks on your door and you let him in and he says please keep the police away from me. You will be charged with obstructing justice. Charles today at the White House Press per sean spicer referenced your home town, chicago. There is a lot of pushback saying this is a white house cover, they want to take money from us anyway. I say thats b. S. We have 450,000 illegal immigrant and we receive 120 million a year from the federal government. You think of mayor prawm man well, they are really keeping these folks in because they want to get votes. Its become very, very political. When we talk about these issues, i think about my grandfather, maul Business Owner in chicago who did well until contractors came in under bidding them because they almost exclusively used illegal aliens. They should obey the law like everyone else. Charles the defines from these sanctuary cities is amazing. They are entrenched pretty well with regard to being wedded to this ideology. It seems like it will take more before anything is done. The law that attorney general sessions cite, its unclear whether he can even with hold these funds from the cities in the first place. The city of san francisco, they dont even collect information on the immigration status of the people they arrest. They dont have it collected in the first place. Charles are they deliberately not correcting this information so they create another loophole and excuse not to cooperate . Its Police Department policy for decades not to collect immigration status. In my hometown of los angeles its been that way from the 1970s. Thats different than prohibiting the police from sharing information with the feds. There is no mechanism in place for grants that have been sent to retrieve that money back. Charles there is no doubt there is huge ostacles for the federal government to enforce this. But attorney general sessions is serious about this pant American Public is serious about it. You understand Law Enforcement. This puts a lot of Law Enforcement in a particular pickle, doesnt it . If you start taking money from the city, they will be even snowstorm overwhelmed. They are between a rock and a hard place. The police dont know what to do. We have elected officials defying the law. We have state legislators saying well replace the funds to the american cities. Let the elected officials pay the bill through prosecution. Charles you remember general flynn. He says he has a story to tell. But some people want that story to stay buried. Charles there is plenty of intrigue to go around. There is a witch hunt of historic proportions. An evil dictator to smear our newly elected president. But he wants protection. President trump supported general flynns stunning offer to testify on trumps ties to russia in exchange for immunity. But right now no one is biting. Jim, ill start with you. You have been on top of this. And you have been adamant there is something there. Today there was a piece in county journal saying there are five things we go. There are dozen of document that trump floated around that were not related to russia. Reports that were masks, but they were written in such a way that you would know who they were. The ultimate conclusion is devin nunes note the Obama Administration spied on donald trump official and his transition team. And he knows how it was who unmasked those names. Trumprussia was what they were going to use to take him down. Notify loss for on the wire said you come at the king, you best not miss. It looks like they missed. Right now they are scrambling. If i put mommy on who did the unmasking. John brennan is would i would put my money on. Hes a noted liar. He lied to congress with the cia spying on congress. Charles this latest turn much events including representative schiff going to the white house and just leaving moments ago. The white house is saying they want Michael Flynn to testify. But the president did call for him to seek immunity on twitter. People point out it was hypocritical because he criticized Hillary Clintons aides who wanted immunity when they were investigating Hillary Clintons private email server. People pointed out its hypocritical for donald trump to tell Michael Flynn 20 seek immunity when he criticized other people for going doing so in the past. I think thats theatrics. I think that part makes a lot of sense. You know you will be targeted, but you also want your story to get out there. More importantly, robert. What do you think he has to tell . Typically as a prosecutor you would not offer immunity news were going to get something newsy in return. We knows not on team f. B. I. He would be buttoned down and not making any public statements. Typically he would have to be seen ad, assert his fifth amendment right and note seek immunity. But require immunity. After 20 years of doing this, this tells me he wants to come forward to clear his name. That may be dangerous and no lawyer wants somebody to go forward just to do that. But high publicly visible profile clients. Its jot just about the law, but about clearing their reputation. My team emailed if me a statement from Ranking Member schiff. He says nothing i can see today warrants a departure from the normal review procedure and these materials should be provided to the members of the both committees. The white house has yet to explain why senior white house staff only shared this material to one member of the committee what do you make of that . This is this material that representative nunes got in his possession. Some that came from the white house or white house staff, is suppose oddly the smoking gun. He did what he has been doing all along which is try to focus on the process in which the intel jenss came out. Not on the fact it points out crimes were committed by obama official. If thats what happened. The reporting seems to confirm that unmasking was a crime and it was done by a Senior Administration official. Charles we have been sidetracked. I think jim hits the nail on the head. To me the big story is the unmasking and the lack of faith we have in our intelligence community. I think they are both good stories. But people want to know why a private citizen who wasnt in office had their identity unmasked. That should be concerning for everyone. That story is not getting the coverage it should. The smainl stream of media wants top demonize donald trump. But they need to focus on who unmaxed those people and why it happened and if they are still there. Even though the lot . Keeps thickening i feel like we took one step closer today. We have got to get justice here and someone has to pay. Thank you both have much. Robert, you guys have a great weekend. The major averages ended the day from the red but posted a gain for the quarter. Im going to set you up for the next square. My market commentary is next. Earning your cash back shouldnt be this complicated. Yet some cards limit where you earn bonus cash back to a few places. And then, change those places every few months. Enough with that echo with quicksilver from capital one youve always earned unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere. Welcome to unlimited. Whats in your wallet . You know win control . Be this guy. Check it out selfappendectomy oh, thats really attached. Thats why i rent from national. Where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. Which makes me one smooth operator. Ah still a little tender. vo go national. Go like a pro. Charles income continues to increase at a solid pace. But spending has occasional periodic spikes was he people pe inic. People inic of was anemic. Spending has gone up at the expense of savings. But we have seen savings increase for two consecutive months. Its at 5. 6 . Thats the highest level since september of last year. This belies the notion of the Consumer Spending like crazy. But also keep in minds the savings rate was significantly higher. Lets call it a yellow flag. The report also showed the p. C. Inflation gauge at 2. 4 . That might have smooth the market a lot more. Weeks ago when the fed indicated the inflation freight was 2 . It feels like we got wiggle room there. Farce the market was concerned, this was the second consecutive winning square. The big winner has been nasdaq up 10 for the first square. And its all about technology. Micron technology back from the dead at 32 . Im going to tell you trite now. I think the most compelling story of the small caps, the russell 2,000 took off like a rocket post election. The index was in freefall and for a noiment was all over. But now up 2 for the square and all of those gains made this week. Speak of reversals. Dont look now. But Vulcan Materials hit a low monday. If you didnt get into the first time i think it goes back to 131 very quickly. The underlying fundamental story remains high. Charles well discuss gun cmon in, pop pop happy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. Charles there has been a lot of talk of a return to law and order in this country. A lot of americans are already fighting back. Im not talk about village land tee stuff. Just people standing up for themselves. John croft, 79, woke up to a command of dont move. Thats when he shot and killed a burglar telling a fox news affiliate that he had been a prisoner in his own home after being robbed 13 times since last december. He said i hate that boy dead but i dont hate i shot him. Alabama is one of three states with a Castle Doctrine through which allows deadly force in occupied spaces. Here to discuss with me, jan morgan. This is the kind of thing you teach people to do and you talk about all the time. As a selfdefense instructor, i tell my student, every time you pull the trigger you need to assume there is a lawyer riding on every bullet. Every time a concealed carry citizen uses a gun in selfdefense, it often end up in court. Even if you are criminally exonerated. The intruders family in many states can come after him in civil court. So he will be out a lawyer and attorneys fees. Unfortunately thats the truth we are facing. But conceal carry insurance is one way to be prepared for that. The other thing i want to mention, if its truly a case of selfdefense. If you ar if you are staringh in the face all you will care about is survival. Charles now we are beyond the point where the last 8 years everyone is worried. There was a serious effort to repeal the Second Amendment or certainly lessen its impact, taxing bullets. So that we are over that part. But there is also been a renewed crime wave in certain areas, particularly these kind of crimes, burglaries. Do you think enough people understand how to protect themselves in these situations . I think we are seeing more people actually getting armed and trained. We know during the Obama Administration there were record gun sales. But now people are sitting back, as the economy starts to improve. You will see more citizens spending that money on training. I have a solution. For all the antigun radicals who are so concerned about the intruders break into peoples homes. What they need is a sign in front of their homes saying we dont believe in guns, guns wont be used to defend these premises, so that way people can know which homes arent protected by guns. Charles there is talk about perhaps even sending in the National Guard or some sort of major federal intervention. Do you think that sort of thing is necessary . Would you go that far . You deal on both sides. You understand these issues better than most people. Would that ultimately be the right decision . No, its not the right decision. I was in the middle of the gun rights battle in illinois when they were trying to get conceal carry rights for their citizens. We raised money and i taught classes. But citizens are still telling me there are guns prohibited signs everywhere you go in chicago. So even though they have the license to carry, they cant carry everywhere they go. So they still have an issue of being disarmed. And the bad guys are armed. The best way to stop bad guys with guns is to have more good guys and well trained citizens with guns. Their experience is coveted. Their leadership is instinctive. Theyre experts in things you havent heard of researchers of technologies that one day, you will. Some call them the best of the best. Some call them veterans. We call them our team. Ifover time it canr fromlead to cavities and bad breath. Thats why there is biotene, the 1 dry mouth brand recommended by dentists. Biotene. For people who suffer from a dry mouth. Charles so you think snakes on a plane are pad, huh . Wait until you fly with liberals on a plane. Roll tape. This is on your twitter. Some guy gave up his first class seat for a uniformed soldier. People are thanking him. Im trying not to vomit or yell about mosul. Youre blaming the soldier. Youre not blaming the policy makers. Absolutely not. No, youre saying giving up a seat for a soldier in uniform made you want to vomit. Youre not saying giving up a seat for the guy who made the war policy but the soldier, the guy whos risking his life. Charles yeah, another leftwing nut job. Hes a professor, thats right hes someone who teaches our children. Here to discuss, daniel mclaughlin, they all look like theyre going to go out and party after the show. But for now, you have this guy, the guy who attacked ivanka trump and their family. And then the guy who attacked trump with the tshirt on. I mean, dont fly a plane and let the world that you believe in soldiers or even democracy. Seriously, its like traveling is stressful enough already, so lets just use library voices and think before you speak. Or maybe think before you tweet; right . Because this is completely ridiculous, you know . And obviously, he was searching for attention because hes gotten lots of tv time, a lot of people going to his twitter page, and hes trying to take it all in right now. Its ridiculous. Charles that was really bad to say. To say that someone gives up a firstclass seat for a military person, and you want to vomit. You know, youre in a difficult position, sometimes, danielle. Often. Often. Charles but how can you as a liberal even justify this kind of behavior . Well, its very simple, charles. You cant. Okay . This was a provocation that was completely unnecessary. I think the idea of pretty much any american, any patriot of giving up a firstclass seat to somebody who has fought for your country and has put their lives on the line, its completely unforgivable. But i do think that theres more to it than just that. The part talked about in this tweet was mosul and, again, i think most americans donald trump complained on the iraq war. We lost 5,000 americans, we had 30,000 injuries. I think he had a really valid point and patriotic point to make. Charles tucker made the point too. If thats how you sincerely feel, the last people you would take this out on are the people actually fighting the war and losing their lives. You through so many pieces at the snowflake culture in the colleges and it begins with these professors. Yeah. It absolutely does. I want to point out this professor, weve got him saying this. Youve got another professor who called donal Donald Trumps election acts of terror. Ended up getting professor of the year award, and then we see the left intolerance toward charles murray, toward jason riley, i mean the list of people on the right that they have disinvited from College Campuses goes on and on and on. Inclusivity is such a buzzword, but we really see them being exclusive toward other political thought. Charles yeah, and sometimes if you are invited, you may be greeted with a molotov cocktail thrown at your car or something. The amount of hatred is hard to believe. Right. And, you know, there has to be a place i mean, look at here where people have different political persuasion, able to communicate in a way thats healthy and that is respectful. And, you know, i love twitter. We all communicate with it every day. But, like, lets step back and realize that 140 characters in a tweet is not enough to express complicated issues like this. Especially if charles this guy whether you had 1,000 characters or whatever, it doesnt matter. He had a certain type of animosity that is frightening in the sense that he gets to influence young adults going out into the world and you have to worry about the kids who sit there and absorb his ideology for this long. Without a lot of critical thinking, look, liberals are all about safe spaces, but i think what theyre doing is turning the rest of the world into a political charles airplanes are not safe spaces anymore. They turn it into politicized, where this isnt about what car service, or isnt about where your shop is politicized, or getting on a plane is politicized. Not everything is political. But thats the mindset that theyre instilling in these young people, and its really sad. Charles so then with that in mind, you know, im defending how fractured this country is, on how hopeful can we be that we start to come together somehow, hell this nation somehow . I think dialogue is key. Charles but i dont know where the dialogue comes from. No one trusts the media anymore. Social media for the most part, you have anger, bubbles, but theres no clear, honest discussion. I think liberals need to get out and travel a little bit more. Charles there you go. Youre calling us ugly americans. Youre dissing america. What youre trying to say is we dont have passports, so were ignorant. No. Travel within your country. If youre in california, go to idaho. Dont go on a plane. I absolutely agree with you on the dialogue thing. I think its so difficult to have a dialogue, though, on College Campuses. If you have a professor like this, you know his mindset going into that class. Absolutely. Its going to be totally restricted. Its not a fair situation to have a dialogue. But i think what were saying historically colleges and universities have been places of liberal thought. But weve seen over the last 30 years more ideas of conservatism. Charles guys, weve got to go, but i am a little bit upset you guys have all gone to a party and not invited me. You look fantastic. You all look absolutely fantastic. I wi lou President Trump in a battle to build that border wall. President p president wants money for the wall and spending bill and the democrats threaten a government shutdown. Interior secretary ryan singke. Said it must be done. A nation without borders cant exist. Lou he is our special guest tonight. President trump announces the formation of a new office of form aegz.
