A warning for the next time you pick up your phone. They authorized charges on your credit card. Along with starbucks. Both reporting last night the report dash mac results results that were disappointing investors. Check the markets right now. Theyre searching for direction this morning after another record high yesterday. Its up just a fraction. And same same with the nasdaq composite. Fractional moves here to tell you about. In Europe Markets are mixed. In asia overnight mix performances as well. Take a look at the shanghai composite. And ek average was up a third of a . The 50th anniversary of the apollo one fire. Nasa is opening a new exhibit to monitor the crew. In joining me to talk about it is my team. Happy friday. Its always a great morning with talk about that. This week has been no shortage of things to talk about. I cannot keep up with everything that President Trump has done in his first week. And even what is on deck. This is just the beginning. He has been so proactive theyre saying hes getting to work. This is actually happening. We will get you those as soon as we hit the tape. And senior fellow to the american enterprise. Scott brown is here. The former nuclear ip leader. Jimmy hoffa joining us this morning. The cofounder. A lot to come. As a do stay with us. Backlash on the border wall. Mexicos president tweeting and that he will not attend a meeting planned next week with present donald trump. After the commanderinchief double commanderinchief double down on his command to build a wall and have mexico put the bill. Trumps administration for the possibility of putting a 20 import tax on mexican goods and for the country to pay for. The White House Press secretary. They weigh in on the issue. The president of mexico and myself had agreed to cancel our planned meetings scheduled for next week. Unless a mexico is going to treat the United States fairly with respect such a meeting would be fruitless. Using comprehensive tax reform as a mean. If you tax at 50 . By doing it that way we can do 10 billion a year and easily pay for the wall. To our group yesterday. Roughly 12 to 15 million dollars. We attend to address the issue ourselves. After the meeting between the two leaders was canceled the value of the mexican peso went down. It has been reacting to every bit of happening out of mexico. When you think of this. When the value decreases is about problem for the trade deficit. Its interesting to see him go back to that 20 tax here. He seems now to be talking about that. As a way to pay for this wall in it will be interesting to see if he continues to go in that direction or what can a backlash we get because of course any tariff ends up hitting consumers and he said we dont want consumers to pay for this. I think he is hitting on something that there is a deeper meaning to what trump was talking about in terms of taxing imports and the United States. And is bridging the gap. Exports would not be taxed and the thinking is is a dollar increases that would lessen the impact of the taxes coming in on import. Its a way of simplifying our tax code. This is a 1 trilliondollar revenue raiser. It would more than be covered by this border adjustment tax. The wall street journals headline on this is the trump attacks. The tax plan. Again this is positive. The story and the New York Times is based so can fusion. No they didnt. Anybody who understands how it works knows it doesnt sell confusion. There bridging the gap of what they need to get done. I want to get your take on what Lindsey Graham said about this. I bash the idea pain for the border wall by taxing mexican imports. Border security yes. Mexico the Third Largest trading partner. A huge barrier to economic growth. Any policy proposal which drives a profit is bigtime bad idea. Mucho sad. Its funny but the problem that were facing right now is the half of america thinks this is great theres the other half that scared and saying this is not good. Im worried about the impact its all can have on me. What are they scared about. They were trying to paint donald trump is dangerous. Donald trump and the first week had backed up almost every one of his Campaign Promises. Are you incorporating the expectation that the dollar moves into this whole cost. The theory and is a theory behind the border adjustment tax and there are a lot of industries they dont like the idea of an import tax because it would hurt because the import import so much whether its commodities or goods made overseas. Theyre concerned about it. In theory the dollar rises and that would offset the tax on imports because they become cheaper. Look at what that dollar has done in an economy getting better. I dont think thats out of the realm. I think thats very acceptable. It does become a tariff attack and i think thats what Lindsey Graham comes in here. When donald trump criticized the border adjustment tax the thing he said is its complicated. I think thats what u. S. Consumers with the. Im assuming this would be broadbased tax policy. A friend of mine who is very smart who does not work in finance text to me yesterday and said tequila, more expensive really. This is a big subject and its a big issue for viewers. We will keep talking about it this morning. Google parent alphabet reported last night. Leaving investors unimpressed. How starbucks is taking a hit after making orders even easier for customers. Maria to florida teens in custody this morning accuse planning a mass shooting at their middle school. The 13 and 14yearold suspects are both students and a middle school and the small town of lady lake. 40 miles northwest of orlando. They learned of their plot from rumblings among other students. The younger sestak told police of the plot. They found weapons at both teens home. They are charged with conspiracy to commit murder. So far the flames have killed 10. One firefighter and two Police Officers killed trying to evacuate families. As of wednesday they had reported 85 wildfires since november. They were scorched to combine 737 square miles. More than twice the size of new york city. Another big morning for earnings. And then you have alphabet shares. Disappointing Fourth Quarter. The Parent Company missed on earnings. They posted 936 per share. Twentyeight cents shy of analysts expectations. In a higher tax charge weight on their bottom line. And then you had disappointing sales. The coffee chain reported budget stunted growth. Credit scores driving away potential customers. They had been with the global popularity of mobile ordering. Shares are down we should say and the premarket. Heres the thing. Basically congestion at the handoff counter is causing income mean customers to leave without buy and even though the register line is short. Its the unintended consequence. I wanted a copy as well im sitting there waiting and so may people waiting for their coffee to come out its like a nice idea to wait but its to any people in one spot. And theyre supposed to be the experience place the place you go to get away. And when you walk it in and feel like its getting a cattle call. I wont buy starbucks last week in washington. I will just drink red bull. Its too bad because you think it would help business with the automation. And yet its turning people away. We have john bolton coming up. Thersea may today.

Its coming after thersea may warned the gop leaders about russian president Vladimir Putin. When it comes to russia when its rice to turn to the example of president reagan who during his negotiations with his opposite he used to used to advise by the adage trust but verify. With president putin my advice my advice is to engage but beware. There is nothing inevitable about the conflict between russia and the west. And nothing on the void of all that retreating. We should engage with russia from a position of strength we should build the relationship systems and processes that make cooperation more likely than conflict. President trump will speak with him on the phone tomorrow. They have a phone call scheduled. Between since present trump took office. The author of red notice. Good to see you. Thank you so much for joining us. Im happy youre here because you really have the story and the background with russia which you and i had spoken about many times for stuff what is your expectation of what happens on that phone call between the president and Vladimir Putin tomorrow. We heard President Trumps sweet that he admires Vladimir Putin, weve heard the russian celebrated with champagne that trump was elected. I think trump is going to lift shang sections tomorrow. What are the implications of that . At the good be a disaster for that security and safety of the world. Basically putin invaded and took a foreign country he has invaded ukraine. He has re drawn that borders of europe and the west got together and said you cant do that. You cant be rolling over borders these days. And all the sudden for nothing to take sanctions away. I think its a very bad idea. Yet one point where the single largest investor in russia through your fund and you had traveled back and forth all the time because you were checking on companies. Then you became activists you started saying things like i want them to buy back stock i want to be paid dividends i dont want corruption what happened then. I wanted them to stop stealing billions of dollars when exposed to the ceiling i was sent stopped at the border coming into the country i was arrested, i was detained and then i was supported and declared a threat to National Security thats when my problems really began. They rated my offices i hired a young lawyer. He investigated he discovered after the raid at the Police Together with a bunch of officials stole 230 million of taxes that i paid to the russian government from the russian government. He was then arrested tortured for 358 days and killed on november 16, 2009. He was killed in jail. For not withdrawing his testimony against the corrupt Police Officers and signing a false confession. We have all of the documentation with the protocol where the guard finds the piece of paper saying we did as we were told and beat this guy. At this point your business is dead. After obviously your lawyer is killed thats a big story but then you have nothing. Then what happens. After he was killed we have a whole bunch of evidence on this. I expected that he would prosecute the people that killed him. Instead he stepped in. Give them special promotions and then they put my lawyer on trial three years after they killed him and the first ever trial against a dead man in history of russia. In response to that i went to washington and i got a piece of legislation passed. Which imposes sanctions on the people that killed him and the people who do similar types of human rights. Past the house of representatives. President obama who didnt want to do anything tough signed into law on december 142. You obviously are not managing money in terms of russia assets anymore and you feel like you know russia personally and you understand that this is a bad guy. He is a crook he is like Pablo Escobar except he is Pablo Escobar with nuclear weapons. He has said complimentary things about having a relationship with them but do you think hes naive as far as who he is. Ive seen every president. We saw george w. Bush said i looked into putins eyes. Twentyseven meetings later he didnt feel that way. What is wrong with having russia as an ally and not necessarily talking about that. Beware. He has no interest in being an ally on anything. In destabilizing has part of the world and being able to carry on and do his crimes. He shares no values. They will talk on the phone tomorrow. I dont think theres an expectation that theyre going to be rolled back tomorrow. He wakes up every morning and praise for sanctions. Who is in more peril if in fact he gets even stronger. Europe is a closest place to russia. Theyre the ones that the borders are being redrawn. If he starts to redraw the borders and all the sudden theres a war hes getting get sucked into. Into the whole purpose of having security instability is so that we can all live a prosperous in normal life. And giving putin a green light. We will see will see what happens. Hes gonna take that phone call tomorrow. We will have news on this afterwards. A tough first day. Nikki haley expected to address the media this morning. Nasa remembers of the fallen heroes. When three astronauts lost their lives. A look at the tribute coming up. Its not something you do now and then. Or when its convenient. Its using stateoftheart simulators to better prepare for any situation. Its giving offshore teams onshore support. And its empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesnt seem right. At bp, safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. At bp, safety is never being satisfied. bell chimes nice work brother dominic. Now we just need 500 more. Translated into 35 languages, personalized oh and shared across the 7 continents. other languages spoken look abbot, i got it. Its a miracle. Maria tgif, good friday morning, im Maria Bartiromo, it is friday january 27th, your top stories, 6 30 a. M. On the east coast. Team trump gets to work. Some of that, anyway. Newly confirmed u. S. Embassador nikki haley gets ready for first day on the job but the status of secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson still up in in the air. As i said on my first day on capitol hill, with Great Respect to members of house and senate, buckle up, we are ready to go to work. People stopped me once or twice and comed up to me and said, youve been awful busy but you dont look that tired, i tell them to be around President Trump is to be someone of boundless enthusiasm and its contagious, you saw that today and you can get used to seeing that. The truth is, im very confident we will succeed. Maria the very latest on the First One Hundred days coming up this morning. Well, can you hear me now, the scam that will make you say no to the classic question. This is an important one. We will bring you the story. Earnings in focus on wall street, microsoft, reporting rongesults last night led by Cloud Business. We wilbreak down the numbers as the sto is tradg up in the free market. Thats helping part of some of the market today, some of the averages today, fractional move coming off of a record high, of course, dow 20,000 this week. The dow this morning looking up fractionally. S p 500 fractionally negative. In europe, take a look at indices. The dax index in germany down a quarter of a percent. Shanghai composite and kospi were closed for Lunar New Year. Remembering the fallen, how nasa is honoring the astronauts of apolo one on death. A dogs purpose, looks for a big win but will recent controversies kill chances of top spot. We have the preview ahead of the weekend. New u. S. Embassador former South Carolina governor nikki haley expect today address the media this morning as she marks her First Official day on the job, joining us right now u. S. Embassador to the united nations, senior fellow and Fox News Contributor john bolton, embassador, good to see you, nikki haley has a tough job ahead. The New York Times is reporting that President Trump could sign executive order to ri deuce funding. Shes looking at big cuts funding. Thats the only way people Pay Attention to the United States, uncle sugars money is not coming automatically. Im really optimistic about nikki haley doing well in the un. I talked to her in the course of hearings and she was forthright that she expect that is the United States is going to get value for its money and i think the most important thing about this draft that weve been reading about is the consideration of moving from the u. S. In effect paying a tax to the un, assess contributions, 22 of the Agency Budgets to moving to completely voluntary contributions where consider this as revolutionary principle, america pays for what it wants and gets what it wants, amazing. Maria looking at the un and how ineffective it has been, i want to get your shakeup yesterday, the headline said everybody at the state is fired accepting the resignations of senior officials, i guess they were not renewed. They said your services are no longer needed anymore. Good thing or bad thing . I think its a good thing, i think you need changes of leadership periodically, most of the type of officials had already left on january the 20th. These were career officials who resigned their jobs but in most cases are not leaving the state department, the Foreign Service is a unique animal, the people have whats called rank in person so i could step away from a particular job and still have my rank in the Foreign Service and get ready for my next job, why it didnt take place on the 20th january and why it took place yesterday, i dont know the answer to that. These were all jobs in the management sphere at the state department, not in the political or economic sphere and every one of them is replaced immediately by Principal Deputy so life goes on. This doesnt make tillersons job difficult as outsider, he doesnt have the knowledge of the sphere and losing the management staff can be difficult for him jordanians that the strength is here, no problem. You want to bring outsiders, when colin powell became secretary of state he put in a former general, office of overseas buildings because he thought this fellow had more experience in building embassies and embassy residents and that kind of thing, perhaps in the state department itself. There may be a new cast of characters coming in. Thats typical, a good thing to shake it up, the culture of the state department is deeply entrenched and it needs to be changed. Talking to voters out there not even voters anymore, americans right now, theres a huge level of fear in so many changes are happening and the media puts that all the people are fired and chaos and look what is happening with mexico, how do we get the American People to feel confident again . Stop reading the mainstream media. Dagen they know that. The people who voted for trump surely know that. The people who voted for truimp surely do know that but the problem is a lot of people who didnt and sit on the sidelines and are looking at facebook feeds. Maria theres a lot of misinformation out there and people dont really understand the truth. Youre watching fox, you understand. You have to power through this and most people are going to give trump the benefit of the doubt in the early days, they are not going to believe the chaos that youre reading about. I think hes going to try and deliver on a lot of his Campaign Promises which marks him as a different kind of politician if hes able to do that and i think the media are just going to have to get used to it. Dagen theres still so many people that work within government who surely did not want donald trump elected as the president of the United States. Even on Inauguration Day you saw the twitter account of the interior department and the account was descended, what about those entrenched bureaucrats, people who have been in government too long, maybe, do they get in the way of trump making change in dc and in terms of putting agenda to work . It depends on how well trumps appointees are able to carry out their responsibilities. Each government has its own culture, the military is different from the state department and different from the treasury and so on and the culture has been built over decades and theyre not going to change in the course of four or even eight years. To take the state department, i know, if we dont address a need for massive change in the culture, its going to hurt the country as it has in a sustained way because we are not getting the best advocacy from diplomats and many career people at the state department who know this and want a different kind of leadership and are prepared to do as careerffials which is implement the president s policies, but they need leadership from the white house and from the Department Heads across the board. Maria it comes from the top and things have gotten politicized in every single agency. Its incredible. Theresa may going to be with donald trump today. This is the president s first meeting of any foreign leader. What are you expecting, what should go on . A huge strategic opportunity for both the United States and for the united king doll kingdom. I think it would help both countries, i could see bringing canada into it shortly thereafter it will strengthen theresa mays exit and a good way for donald trump hes in favor of International Trade and wants more economic change and wants it done on a truly free trade basis without countries violating commitments that theyve made and nafta, the World Trade Organization and others. So i think you cannot underestimate the potential upside here. Politically as well as economically. Maria its going to be important for Financial Services because the jamie diamonds of the world who have employees in london have not figured out their plan r they going to take those employees and businesses and move them to the euro zone. If theres a free flew of people that would be positive. Bankers dont want to move from london to frankfurt. Maria good to see you, em embassador. Latest phone scam that gets people to authorize charges on their cell phone. Thats next. New phones being unlearred, one anticipated Box Office Hit may land it in the dog house instead. Back in a minute theres a lot of places you never want to see 7. 95. [ beep ] but youll be glad to see it here. Fidelity where smarter investors will always be.

We are taking a look at microsoft this morning. Earnings driven day. The company reporting Quarterly Earnings that top expectations. Microsofts Cloud Business brought nearly 7 billion in revenue in the fiscal second quarter. Renew in the Cloud Service grew 93 year over year. Take a look at the stock, it will be higher today. Thats a dow component. Swiss Bank Reported 22 decline for net income for Fourth Quarter. The company is blaming parton tax effects on very Challenging Market conditions. Ubs16. 91, down.

Ignited and three astronauts could not escape. Saturn 5 center at cape canaveral. The hatched from the burn capsule. Lets move over to volcano in alaska. Erupd again. The volcano located in the island. This happened yesterday, aviation warning has been issued but the aviation was lowered to orange from red last night after the ash cloud dissipated. It has erupted 2,000 times and more eruptions could be on the way. Maria, this is Something Else. A new warning about the latest phone scam thats going on. Police say if you received a call from somebody asking, can you hear me, hang up the phone. They try to get the scammers to say the word yes and response is recorded and they use that to authorize various charges either on your phone bill or they can access your credit card, so if you have a wall from an ub known number, definitely when they start asking questions or a strange call, definitely dont say, yes, but some other questions are asking, are you the lady of the house, do you pay household bills. I got one of these on my cell phone. Thats the second one i received but i knew what it was. As a nation we are getting a lot more of them. Dagen if i dont recognize the number, i wont answer it. Maria some of the weeks top moments from the program. President trump is the same as candidate trump, business trump and he believes in results, high energy, high impact. I believe America Needs that. We dont need a fresh coat of paint in the white house through the president , we net a gut renovation as a nation. Maria whats your take as we approach the first full week for President Trump . I think trade, i think he is going to try and get an immigration package articulated and hes going to begin the nafta associations as soon as possible, also the meeting of the Prime Minister of england is going to be interesting because they were on the opposite side of brexit. I think its very positive that the president is focused on the economy first and foremost. Secondly, i think the first couple of days in the office having meetings with Manufacturing Companies and automotive companies, i think work very well because hes looking for policies that are going to stoke both investment and job creation here in the isnt it refreshing to have one of the strongest industries, one thats been a real engine over the last several years in helping grow the economy and create jobs actually sitting down with the president of United States and figuring out how to support that as opposed to dampen that with environmental regulations, government regulations, barriers and so forth. I mean, i was so excited and ebb newsed about that meeting, its a 180degrees to where we were. Trade is what made America Great, 40 million americans an including lots of fedex folks make their job in trade. 40million americans, about 27 of our entire economy is related to trade. The United States being cut off from trade would be like trying to breath without oxygen. Its an essential part of our economy. Donald trump is moving and moving quickly. Washington is not used to that. Either donald trump is going to have to slow down or washington is going to have to speed up. You can take your phone and immediately in 30 seconds book a helicopter and will be waiting for you 20 minutes later for a fiveminute flight to the airport and 195 or join a crowd source flight for ride. Maria this one is worth 1. 1 million. Thats the price of the watch, only eight made and sold in the u. S.

For me it al began with a boy. His name was ethan. Bailey, bailey, bailey. My name was bailey, bailey, bailey. Maria that was a clip from the new film a dogs purpose in threaters today. It follows one dog as he learns valuable lessons through m many lives he lives. Joining me right now wbai radio chief film critic mike. Theres controversy around this film obviously, it was recently under fire after a leaked video on a dog under stress while filming. What happened . Basically there was a dog trainer who was trying to get the dog to perform somewhat dangerous water stunt and he was very, very aggressive to the point where if youre a dog lover, you think, its pretty excessive. Maria tmz filmed the video. They got a copy of the video and its not going to help the film. Maria dog lovers are saying, wait a second, youre not being good to dogs. Youll probably cry, but now like you said, youre going to be mad at the movie. Maria do you think thats going to hurt the movies success . Absolutely. We also have gold, whats this all about . This is about its in the 1990s but begins in 1980s, he plays someone who used to work for his dads Mining Company who is pretty much gone under at this point, he has one last dream and he thinks he has found gold somewhere around the country, planet, the whole story is about his pursuit of goal, the wall street guy that is go after him and everything he does to really fulfill this dream. Its got some surprises for you. Maria wow, okay. Matthew is 40 to 50 pounds [laughter] maria resident evil, the final chapter hits theater this weekend, the last in the 15year franchise based on the computer game with the same name . Well, it is, its actually the sixth evil film, eighth if you nt to count thanimates ones, this wraps up the whole thing, theres a reason why its the most successful video to film franchise ever. Its made almost a billion dollars and the film will take it over. She kicks butt and takes no prisoners and you love her, you cannot love her. Maria a couple of new movies out this weekend. The nine films nominated for an oscar for best picture, obviously one of the critics but did not necessarily win over the crowds at the theater, look at the numbers here. At the box office they brought in an average of nearly 54 million. If you were to rank the gross totals the average would come at 67, oscar nominee moonlight brought in 16. 1 million. Interesting award nominees, yet they are not bringing in the people. Audience favorite rogue one did not make the cut, is there a disconnect . Well, i think theres a disconnect, part of it is at least three factors, one this time of year these are for more adult viewers, people who really dont go to the movies, they get out and go then. Things have changed. Movie industries cannibalize the market so people who normally would normally go into the movies, they wait on netflix two weeks. Its not that kind of thing. I think part of that is also the people that are in academy and voting are the ones that would see the movies and they dont have to go see them. Maria theres that as well. Out of all the movies this one, which one would you go to . The prestige. If you want to cry, the dogs purpose. Maria i think i want to cry. Mike joining us there. Samsung releasing pictures of the next phone along with assurances that it would be perfectly safe, no blowups, next hour mornings with maria, back in a moment ion . Because, actually theres 5.

The uncertain future of sanctuary cities, President Trump looking to take swift action on immigration. This is so important to me, from day one ive said it and i mean the immediate removal of criminal aliens that are going to be gone fast and finally at long last, cracking down on sanctuary cities. [applause] its time to restore the civil rights of americans, to protect their jobs, their hopes and their dreams for a much better future. Maria despite protests from many major cities, one city aligning itself with the new administration, we will tell you about it.

Dagen less administrative leave and more firing. Whether its a teacher who essentially does a mock assassination of the president of the United States or secret Service Agent and by the way, this is all social media driven, the secret Service Agent who said, i wouldnt take a bullet for donald trump, remember, that was on social media. Maria disgusting. Dagen again, idiot, you should be fired for being an idiot. Lee totally. Maria dont let me go there. [laughter] dagen i will say that. Maria i sent out a tweet and made it softer. For all the idiots who didnt dress Melania Trump and then i said to all the geniuses. European Parliament Member and Independence Party leader nagil and International Brotherhood of teachers president jimmy here in studio with us plus Amo Drafthouse ceo tim league is with us. We kick it off with the crackdown on sanctuary cities one day after trump signs executive order threatening to cut federal funding from the city. Miamidade mayor Carlos Gimenez orders county jails to begin complying with the detention demands, watch. The president issued his executive order and she just put an exclamation point for me on that issue and it really was a nobrainer, 52,000dollar issue for miamidade and so we will now go to 2014 policy that we will honor the detention requests regardless of the fact that the government says that theyll pay for it. Maria the president react to go gimenezs decision, miamidade mayor dropped sanctuary policy, right decision, strong. Joining me right now former senator scott brown, senator, good to see you, thank you so much for joining us . Scott thank you. Maria florida, Miamidade County to accept with federal Immigration Enforcement officials. Do you think we are going to see more lawmakers jumping on board and we should point out what the president is trying to do is make sure to not give not give homes to people who are actually committing crimes . Yeah, of course, maria. Ic absolutely what the mayor of miami has done is merely going back to the policy that it was a couple of years ago and actually following the law. Boy, isnt tha and an idea to follow federal law and get people who are trying to hurt and kill us out of the country. It makes complete sense and i obviously commend him, im expecting more mayors to follow but im also expecting mayor de blasio in new york and Rahm Emmanuel and the mayor from boston to take it to to the extreme in terms of filing Court Actions to protect the socalled people that are here illegally and it makes no sense. It seems like a waste of time and effort. Just follow the law. Thats all people want. Maria but again its people who are here illegally who are committing crimes. Why are they pushing back on this . Lee i dont understand its controversial. You are seeing advertisements on twitter feed, this is racism, this is scary. Its the law. Maria its been blown off for years. Dagen right. These individuals have already committed a crime by being in the United States. Maria well, thats one. Dagen yesterday a guest said its absurd and idiotic to think that these cities get federal fund to go enforce federal laws and then they actively do not enforce those laws. Its just upside down logic. I know new york city pushed back on this and said its only that Violent Crimes are reported by the police, Violent Crime by i legal immigrants are reported by the police but its just the minor crimes. Any crime is a crime and your initial crime is being here in the United States. Lee why are we paying for them . Maria thats the thing. What do you think, scott . Scott maria, first of all, the fact that you have mayors finally coming forward and actually doing what the president wants to do, you have a change of guard at the top and the leadership starts at the top. As you know, this president has said we are going to stop funding and if hes thinking, hes a man of his word and i grantee you hes going to stop the funding, we are talking billions of dollars with some of the cities and quite frankly they cant afford that so you follow the money and the fact that hes saying, we are going to take the money, good for him and i commend him for it. Do you think defund asking going to move Rahm Emmanuel and bill de blasio, i can see it with the smaller cities but where big city where is seems to be defining political issue for the mayor, how much do you think the defunding threat actually matters there . Scott i think it matters a lot. What will happen in new york and chicago, they will take it out on the Actual Police departments, sorry, you dont have enough money to do ab, c and d and that hurt it is people of new york, average everyday citizen who is paying taxes and wants to live in secure city i think is going to be at risk. Ultimately, they will follow the law. Its federal law. You know, there is a supremacy clause. Its going to be fun quite frankly to see rahm and de blasio battling with the new attorney general. Maria its going to be interesting four years. Dagen the cities will try to raise tacks on the people who are already paying through the nose. Thats another option. New york city, we said this yesterday, new york city could lose 7 billion. Maria 7 billion. Dagen the city, and the budget moneys have been set aside to in part compensate for lost federal funding. Maria incredible. Itll be interesting to see how far the Administration Takes it. Obviously they are going to pull back funding. Let me ask you about the women right stories, right now, Vice President mike pence is agree to go spend at todays march for life. Antiabortion demonstration in washington, d. C. , President Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway expect today attend. Is this a good idea for the Trump Administration to get involved here and speak at the events . Scott no surprise that the Vice President is prolife, hes been prolife, hes always been a strong supporter and advocate. Its the first time in i believe 44 years giver or take that any president has spoken, so they are going to take their stands and they are going to work on the things that they feel strongly about. Its up to him. Maria yeah. Lee i find it fascinating that people are surprised that theyre doing what they said they were going to do. They are doing exactly what they said they were going to do. Maria they are, youre right. Thats good. Scott first time in a long you have elected officials actually doing what they said they were going to do. Maria thats just political. Scott very scary for the left, maria. Maria very. And i feel that they are on unhinged and they dont know thousand deal with this. I want to get your take on this, senator, watch this. [inaudible] maria this is a Texas High School art teacher, okay, reportedly shes been placed on administrative leave at after the video was posted on instagram. In the video the teacher is pointing a squirgun in the classroom while she dreams die, die, die. What is your reaction to this, senator . Scott first of all n dallas of all places, you are going to assimilate an assassination, thats really, i think, quite disturbing, number one. Number two, a teacher who is in leadership capacity taking a pistol in school, thats number two and then trying maybe she was acting, shes an art teacher, maybe she was doing acting lessons. I dont know. The fact that shes on administrative leave and wasnt immediately fired and the secret service, i hope, immediately goes and charges her with, you know, some type of crime. I find it the left doesnt know what to do. They are losing it. Maria yeah, they are losing it. Dagen the secret service has been notified about this, by the way. The parents are also losing it. Its like the parents have lost control of the classroom. On Inauguration Day i had a friend who lives in the south, her daughter in kindergarten was allowed to watch the inauguration but her 5yearold was not. This is the president of the United States, period. How is that not a historic event. Why should children be deprived of that. Its teacher choice and teacher s own political bias. Theres no safe ground for kids in terms of the leftwing, nonliber sense. Its embarrassing to see somebody in your profession doing Something Like this. And you see this again and again and you can understand why parents want big changes. You can understand betsy devos nomination and the changes to the system. Maria right. You cant tolerate this. Maria do we have the madonna sound bite. Its academics and its also hollywood. Madonna, you know, at a podium, i thought about blowing up the white house. Its disgusting. Lee where is the safe place for conservatives . Thats the question everybody needed to have safe zones after the election to mourn hillarys loss, where is the safe place to say, you know what, i support the president and all thats happening right now. There isnt. Where is the place for reasonable dialogue . Dagen i was at a gym not long ago, during the election, early november and a friend of might be told me to keep my voice down because i was talking about trump. Maria incredible. Bullying you. Dagen he didnt want it to jeopardize his relationship. Maria incredible. Scott two days ago in a gym i had a friend, female friend was just responding to the tv about trump and a woman completely and totally flipped out and started yelling at her saying, if you voted for trump, i have no respect for you and went didnt even know her, just out of the blue, the woman was so upset that the management had to take her out. In portsman high school, we had a teacher using vulgarities in school, mimicking trump. Where do conservatives go, where do conservative kids go . Maria this from the group that say it is other side is bigots. The other side. We want to live and let live. Give me a break. Senator scott brown, good to see you, sir.

Maria maria so dow now capability to exchange shifts with a few taps on the phone, joining us right now the ceo of chief brat, brat, good to see you. Pleasure to be here. Maria interesting idea. How does it work . Pretty simple. The next time either their car breaks down or they have a sick child at home they post shift on app and notifies coworkers and the ship is slot, thats simple. This is what i want to know, if you cant get somebody to fer shift can you offer incentive, you are getting closer to deadline, take my shift plus 20 bucks in. Actually you can, we see a number of employees are certainly doing that specially as shift gets closer to starting time. Lee how do you subscribe, how does it work . Once an employee gets app, s well, you see some stores grow to 20 to 30 users in the first day and they start swapping shifts right away. Dagen dont retailers have their own, equivalent of shifts . A lot of companies have scheduling system and its not as mobile and not for the end user first. Its building a mobile tool for millennial workers that resinates with the type of social med they that they use to help them solve their problem. Maria Companies May say, look, we dont want too many employees to have too much overtime and when you when a person says, im going to take your hours, maybe that goes for example, walmart has discouraged from using a similar app according to wall street journal because the Company Wants to be in charge of who works what hours. Typically we find that managers can approve or reject slots as well if they want to have control. Some managers want to ensure that an employee shows up and youre right other brands want to ensure that people arent going overtime and work the appropriate week and manage that more closely. We spoke to over 3500 stores in the field and we have been able to get successful and on board on the product. We had 260,000 hours changed in the year. Maria wow. Youve got to tell people two weeks in advance and if you dont do that, theres going to be a penalty for it. It seems like your app is an answer, a market answer to that question, but does the regulation actually get in the way of you being able to break into the market, how do you interplay with the Public Policy there . Its really interesting, people are realizing that schedules can be erratic for employees, you have Worker Advocate groups like working washington in seattle or the fair work here in new york, pushing for legislation around this and at the same time you have employer who is are looking for solutions to decrease noshows at their store and we will mobilize the phone with that product, it would be winwin for employees and employers and people are picki uphyft. Maria how do you make money in. We offer brands additional administrative features if they want to take advantage of leveraging at national level. Maria thats the renew source . Yes. Do you see this shyft in debate at all, you are an answer to this, but are you going to be a sufficient answer in seattle or are you going to see, you know, mayor and City Council Member move ahead of this sort of thing . I think we are contributing to the conversation. I have been sitting at the meetings that have been taking place around the legislation and we are trying to fit in a neutral position and that can help both parties solve problems and i think can be embraced. Maria good to see you. Appreciate it. Coming up, building on the border, how President Trumps plans are sending building stocks higher. We are talking with the u. S.

Stocks are rallying after the president signed an executive order calling for wall along the Mexican Border of course a lot of anticipation about a rollback. Along with some material come hell. I think you so much for joining us as mine. Let me kick it off with you bill. We have a lot of plants that weve been talking about whether it is new Infrastructure Projects on the horizon or the wall being built on the southern border among others or perhaps tapping into the Energy Business what kind of an impact are you expecting. We head over 170 concrete plants. We offer primarily in california, texas washington dc, and new york.

We need to see what opportunities we have. I expect that in the next couple of weeks. Speemac they announced yesterday that congress is willing to approve 12 to 15. The sill have uncertainty on whether they will be reimbursed by mexico or not. What is your take on all of this. I think more important for summit we are a diversified vertically integrated company which mes we manacturing construction advocates. In about 40 of our business goes into the highway business when i hear President Trump talk about a trillion dollars and for structure in the Structure Program he always mentioned highways so its really the highways element of this we do business in 20 states. We are pretty new company. We started from scratch in 2009 we were private equity backed. And really created a very fine as a subscale business of scale during about a billion and half dollars of revenue. President trump is the First Company that has emphasize infrastructure and we kind of seat with emphasis in a lot of work in the state that we do really see the new golden age of infrastructure development. Our highways, our airports are water. Its all unique. Absolutely. Weve an analyst on the other day here on the program top banking analyst. Some of you has to fund the stuff. Theyve talked about private public partnerships. Do you think that the banks to be among the participants in terms of funding part of this. I think there will be multiple sources. I think banks, private investors in the u. S. Government through additional user fees perhaps repatriation of taxes it will be multiple sources of funding. For our company we have only 16 of our revenues come from transportation infrastructure. Were just as excited about the tax programs. As well as the lessening of the regulatory burdens to help the overall economy. Thats much more impactful for us. How is the environment right now. I head of all of this. Business has been good. The other 60 . And all of those sectors are firing pretty will i sort of characterize it as a slow grinding recovery but in many ways that has been has been very healthy for the industry. A shot in the arm from an increase infrastructure spend will be a very good for the industry. And just to go back on the Public Private partnership i think thats very important and an overall package but it doesnt really address the maintenance of the existing system. In philadelphia on the first things hes gonna do is fix the existing systems. After the infrastructure. We do repair and maintenance. The fix it first is good to be positive decision for some. What kind of jobs are we talking about here. When you see a plan on the table when you see the cost for the role. Characterize those involved in that. I think they characterize it for every billion dollars. And something in the range of plus or minus 20,000 jobs. These are really good pain middleclass solid jobs and their 15 to 25 per hour. And again i would go back to the repair and maintenance. The work can start very quickly. They are truly some already. Bill, how do you see it. I agree with tom. In our operations its a little different model than summit we operate in high growth areas in the bay area of california. Those areas of the country have been growing at a faster rate. It sure feels like it. The states are looking to jump in. In terms of the transportation system. You would be open on working on other Infrastructure Projects as well. Thank you so much.

What a fun morning. So much to talk about. Maria i wanted the journal by steve moore our friend and larry kudlow to speed job growth cut taxes now. That is what we have been talking about market rallying on, we will probably know what it looks like first 100 days but we may not see the legislation, until later this year. Dagen they need a move on it i think that editorial just timing of it is they are talking to congress, and probably the Trump Administration. Maria i cante. About speeding things up one critical thing, is like what does the Corporate Tax cut look like, and there at least seemed less daylight yesterday. In regard to the border adjustment tax would be a critical revenue razer a trillion dollars over 10 years, they did sean spicer and did come out a little bit after the fact, Reince Priebus saying a buffet of options, so they kind of walked it back a little bit, but now it seems at least, it is an option, and it will be critical to kind of getting the gop plan on Corporate Taxes and whatever trump wants. Maria yeah. Together. Looking more like 20 Corporate Tax versus trumps initially 15 we will talk about that this morning, and today focus americas relationship with one of its closest allies britain President Trump meetin area may today to talk new trade deal trump and may sounding optimistic about working together addressing gop leaders yesterday at retreat. We have strong economic commercial defense and political relationships. As well. So i am delighted that the new administration has made a trade agreement between our countries, one of its earliest priorities a new trade deal between britain and america must work for both sides serve both our national interests. A meeting with the Prime Minister tomorrow as you know Great Britain, meeting with her tomorrow. I dont have my commerce secretary they want to talk trade i have to handle it myself. [laughter]. Which is okay. Teresa may reportedly saying she believers she can establish a strong working relationship with trump opposites attract joining us european Parliament Member fox news nigel federal jury, David Cameron also Fox News Contributor steve hilton good to see you thanks for joining us. Hi, maria. Nigel what you are your expectations for this meeting number one. Of course, at the permits are remarkably different, but there are shared interests i was right thered with theresa mays speech last night she embraced the fact, that brexit means we can start to do things with the rest of the world about starting with usa, yeah, you know she was positive, when it came to talking about trade, about cooperation, on dealing with terrorism, on thinking where nato goes from here i think everything set i droll. How do you see what it would you like to see come out of this tried deal bilateral . I agree with what nigel just said i i think the interesting thing all in the way britain that has most to gain from the trade deal, because, we really need to show that brexit is good for jobs in the economy as nigel and i argued the fact is that it seems that trump might be more eager to get on with it than british the reason is that the eu rules actually say if you are going to a country that wants to leave eu cant start negotiatinging until its is actual left at least two years aconvey completely ridiculous, those rules were written remember by the eu when they didnt imagine any country would have nerve to leave punished what i love to see trump say ignore stupid rules ridiculous eu bureaucrats lets make a deal lets get on with it. Steve, it seems also it is important for the United States to be able to do something with Great Britain we have been talking about the importance of bilateral deals stepping away from a tpp replacing th bilatal seems both have a strong interest getting this done but do you acally see the European Union getting in the way in a material way i know you are talking about but will dozening through that can that stand in the way of this thing happening soon . Well, i think that in the end it is up to resolve of the leaders involved, i think that this will actually be really good test of whether the eu can do that. A lot of terms throne around like illegal eulaw says this and that the fact is british people voted finally to be a selfgoverning country their own Laws Parliament come first i dont see why that needs to wait until formal process theresa may made it very clear no going back uk is going to leave, so i think that it certainly reasonable to just ignore those tluls and start negotiating he o properly right now especially when youve got a president in the white house eager to will get on with it. Maria yeah. Dagen nigel do you agree we really absolutely absolutely. Actually trump, i think look if she says donald it has been great meeting yeah lets get on with this, but i know donald you would like to sientsdz, beginning of june actually it could be two more years, i mean trump wont respect that very much, no. What a weve got to do brussels has been clear i was there last week they have been clear, in say were not allowed, the british Prime Minister has got to stand up for our interests and say this he will with that we are going to crack on going to do this, after all what can eu do show of us out. So he can are calling conteresa may according to reports stand up over donald trump, on his torture remarks, that as waterboarding, might be considered legal, does she need to respond to that do you think . No. No. Trump gave a personal view but said he would leave it to Pompeo Mattis that is virtually ruled out out that argument is a dead duck anyway the idea that a british Prime Minister should walk into oval office giving the president of the usa moral lectures i dont think would be a very good starting place for this relationship. Dagen it is illegal in this country period, completely illegal, and, john brennan has said it worked. Remember . Yeah. He actually said that on some terror subpoenas led us to osama bin laden. It is fascinating thing this meeting i think important for a lot of reasons one of them is more than anything i think o symbolic to show were not ail yen aitdz in the u. S. Talking about how important it is in britain to show those jobs and all that brexit is going to work but here i think, to see us coming together, you know donald trump meeting with such a close ally really important we see those kinds of things what is the so symbolism that you see out of this . Well i think really i complete agree with what you just said i think it show will that donald trump contrary to what a lot of critics have said, is able to have strong relationships with foreign leaders i think a good chance going to get along really well even though, teresa may said pretty much o sits opposites attract i think the truth about theresa may i dont agree with everything since brexit but she is hardworking pays attention to detail is a tough person one of my favorites things to happen last year nigel will remember after David Cameron resigned there was leadership election one of the former cabinet ministers matchers cabinet caught on hot mic talking about theresa may he said theresa may a bloody difficult woman we work with Margaret Thatcher so will she we know what that is like. Theresa may said actually legislativing eas you have tough negotiations britain needs a bloody difficult woman a really good chance despite different were pertinence will get on really well. Maria i like that, let me talking immigration in the u. S. Trump Administration Reportedly planning to stop all refugee admissions 120 days suspended entry until further notice for sooirp refugees certainly issues with mass refugees into germany uner mesh kel nienlel how do you see this do you think trumps policy can help National Security . Is this going to work. If yes, it certainly helps National Security. You know questions about how fair it is look, what mrs. Merkel did was a catastrophe, what we saw those horrendous, about those massacres in paris 8 people that did it five had come back into the european continent pretending to be registers evidence mounting frankly what miss merkel did was he open door to terrorism trump does not want maim secretary he is absolutely right to be doing what he is doing. She admitted that it was a mistake, that she eepd the door to terrorism in fact, a number of refugees let into germany last year down by 600,000 people. From nearly a million by 600,000 so they have back tracked we are just dock essentially what germany trying to get hands around mush rooming problem we are talking more advanced steps. That was one of the issues, that britain that pushed britain to want to leave eu right. Exactly. Open borders they cant make their own rules in their own kin. That is right i think what last year showed in a good way brexit vote in a bad way nigel said what merkel did the final nail in the coffin open borders ideology that has done so much damage around the world, and i think that what we can show now, with brexit and what the president wants to do here is that there is nothing unreasonable about a country wanting to protect its borders and decide who can come in and who cant come in that is a reasonable idea, that now i hope will be the new way of this can about issues all around the world.

Maria President Trump is digging in on mexico, he just tweeted right now, this is what he is saying mexico has taken advantage of the United States long enough massive trade deficits little help on very weak border must change now tweet coming out from President Trump. We will have more on this coming up, first every entrepreneur wants path to success what does ite to build a thriving business more Business Owners turning to Coaching Services for help in fact the business of Business Coaching is gaining momentum 58 of businesses taking advantage of the service, joining us right now is Ramsey Solutions leadership expert creates chris good to see you. Good to be with you. Tell us about this what is causing this uptick in success coaching what is it all about . Well, it is really a matter of understanding that when you own a business, it can feel like you are on an island the one thing you dont want to do is if you are running a business is to be alone. And so reaching out understanding limitations finding someone has strength to be able to help you is a benefit for your business. Chris how do you choose a business coach it seems like anyone could soft hang a shingle out say i can help you get great returns but you the what are some criteria you look for . Well, as a business coach myself i mean i travel around the country speaking to tens of thousands of leaders, but i think it is a matter of understanding their background, their education, as well as their experience. I want to work with people that have been there, i want to work with people that have done something, not just talking about dog some things. One of the questions ive got, 529 return on investment isnt it important that you select the right businesses to bet on as a coach . Because that seems like a phenomenal return. Well it is very important, i think you know even coaches out there want to make sure that they are working with people that want to be successful. But it is i mean imagine in the making the right hire, if someone can help you establish a good hiring process, we know how much can be spent on recruiting trying to find the right people, and so you getting that right kind of process from right individual, can have a if only impact on someones business. Let me ask you this a lot of coaching though, just being willing to like when you are coaching somebody you are there to tell the leader what nobody else at company will, if there is screwing up if you are a jerk to work for, i mean is it tough love how much coaching is that . You are absolutely right, i think as a coach you want to be very, very honest. And you hit nail on the head a lot of employees our loerp team may not be able to tell Business Owner you are mistreating people being unkind so as a coach youve got to come in not looking to mike a friend you are looking to make an impact on the business. And we have to remember, businesses employ people people have families very important businesses are led the right way and go in the right direction. Good point, i mean is this is the onus more on the company to be to be you know ensure leadership is doing the right thing frequency Large Companies do something called 360 right when you are ceo, a lot of your underlings staff will be doing interviews with outside consultant business coach perhaps these to find out where that person weakness strengthen is Large Companies do that is that similar to hiring outside coach . I think three 360 feedback can give some input. You know, studies have been done a lot of times even employees are scared to be brutality honest on that. So i think any time you can reach out find the right kind of person to add to your team, because that is what a business coach is, they are going to come in and look at how you are doing things strategically, but also tactically how are you implementing executing on right things, so it is so very important. If you think about it, a Business Owner put a lot of bloat surveyed tears money into this business need it to perform well. Maria we will leave tlilt chris good stuff thanks for joining us. Hi thank you for having me. Maria jo coming up who is going to pay for that wall new proposal to make mexico pay, by Trump Administration, then starbucks earnings not lacking the kick servers hoped for coffee chain the slow driven sales Fourth Quarter that and gdp, back in a minute. Now we just need 500 more. Translated into 35 languages, personalized oh and shared across the 7 continents. other languages spoken look abbot, i got it. Its a miracle. Happy friday thanks for joining us this morning i am Maria Bartiromo. It is friday, january 27 your top stories right now 8 30 a. M. On the east coast, the great wall debate rages on mexico president canceled a planned meeting with President Trump our commander in chief promises that a wall will get built part of trumps plan to make America Great again. Were going to pursue new trade deals that create higher wages more opportunities for American Workers bringing back those magnificent words made in the usa, it is going to be America First again. We will create millions of new goodpaying jobs, by removing the economic burdens that cripple our he ability to compete. Maria tensions between u. S. And mexico may not be as bad as they seem, first lady Melania Trump on cover of vanity fair in mexico, we are taking a look at state of the Union Details as Group Sees Record low membership speaking with jimmy hoffa many businesses would love this problem starbucks sayings being too crowded hurts sales markets like this gdp, outright now, hitting the tape take a look at markets here, as the markets are going to be react to go gdp the expectation was for up 2. 2 . It is actually lower than expected up 1. 9 up 1. 9 on gdp dow industrials turned negative, very much mixed story not far from where they closed yesterday the super bowl rivalry gave gas station relevancy to sell some beer. No problems for this, alamo draft house brewing success taking the country by storm gdp up 1. 9 brian with us this morning sorry a lot of bs there, 1. 9 below expectations your thought is in a not too far below expectations what Federal Reserve saw it coming in same sorry i last 7 1 2 years 2 growth not enough to put enough people back to work we need more than that exactly why your point earlier, oped by Steve Moore Larry Kudlow business tax cuts done soon to get economy growing 2 next two, four, six years not going to cut it. That is true. They are thinking lower taxes rollback of regulation will create environment that will encourage businesses to create jobs, and encourage businesses to invest more. Yeah, we have seen investment drop off so much, and numbers continue to confirm that, so the path to growth i think there is nothing but that has to be focus in 2017. Dagen market expects it will kwlap dow 20,000 record after record on dow nasdaq s p 50010 years sub3 growth we havent had 3 growth in a decade, in this country, you go on long enough you expect that is the norm it is just not. The animal spirits are back. What is happening in the mark is evidence of confidence. How did durable goods report down 4 10 of 1 estimate calls for gain 2. 6 big thicket item durablegoods orders below expectations as well yeah, the animal spirits coming back on expectations, that the trump economic plan will will actually lift things the Fourth Quarter was not all that, okay . Durable goods down, gdp below estimates. I think the Fourth Quarter underscores why we have to see things happen quickly, and definitively on taxes, on regulation, some other things that trump is talking about, the delay is going to hurt because the economy still isnt that strong there is a lot of Downside Risk here, if the president cant get things through quickly. Maria for sure, we are going to turn right now to blake burman President Trump is ready to begin work on the wall along that mexican board but there is still no agreement on how that wall will get paid for president tweeted moments ago mexico has taken advantage of the u. S. For long enough massive trade deficits little help on very weak border must chaining now blake burman, blake good morning to you. Reporter that tweet latest in backandforth between these two countries you know where things stand, President Trump says mexico will pay for the wall the wall has been authorized, mexico in leaders say by no means will they pay for the wall a meeting between those two leaders President Trump and Enrique Pena Nieto scheduled next week at he white house has been called off yesterday boarded air force one i throughing to washington, d. C. , White House Press second sean spicer floated one possibility how wall might be paid for my mexico that being taxing the trade deficit. Ch. You tax that 50 , 50 billion dollars, at 20 , of imports, by the way, a practical that 160 other countries do right now, our countries policy to imports allow imports freely in ridiculous doing it that way 10 billion dollars a year aeldz pay forwall. The white house chief of aff ince priebus walked that back a lile bit saying th was one of a buffet of options as it was put, and else this put out that potentially a border tax of the area 5 to 20 syri20 . Lowest record on level 10. 7 percent of workers belong to union down from more than 20 in early 1980s i want to bring a in james hoffa president of the International Brotherhood of teamsters good to see you thanks for joining us. Good to be they are. What is your take on overly decline in union mib about to what would you attribute that . Well, basically, the attack on right to work, basically, the republicans have been acting right to work in michigan, wisconsin, indiana West Virginia a week ago, in kentucky this is all new this is an attack increasing the basically the lack of Bargaining Power of people in unions right now so i think these attacks are doing that, but there are good things going on right now. The president talking about getting ford to bring production back those are going to be union jobs Good Union Jobs, carrier airconditioning, those are Good Union Jobs, so there are good things. Even chrysler talking about bring abouting production back those will be union jobs so i think there is something going on here, could be very, very positive, with regard to bringing back jobs that are basically left the country bringing them back here those will be union jobs. Maria so it sounds supportive of President Trump withdraw u. S. From Transpacific Partnership a big deal a lot of ceos upset with that they want to be part of the tpp why do you into are the withdrawal from tpp tell us from a workerer standpoint. Well from standpoint this was basically nafta on steroids, we know he nafta america loss over a million jobs good jobs, that having that have gone to mexico would accelerate that in brunei vietnam, other places, and we just cant have that weve seen what happens when we have at the very least agreements, soud and oppose tpp forever oppose fast track applaud the president basically said were getting out of tpp that was a big victory for us he will renegotiate nafta we support him on that. The president we think is right we will support him. Tell us about that because it is interesting, that, you know, the unions could not bring the vote for Hillary Clinton there were a lot of Union Members watching donald trump saying you know what . He is saying what we have been saying for 10 years well i have been saying about trade for 20 years, i mean, you know finally somebody listening i think that is good this is a big development, tpp renegotiate nafta, this is what we want to do we join him in that we will help him that is very, very positive. We already see, that these companies are blinking they are saying okay. I will come back to United States. I am glad it is so simple. How much influence do you think the unions have with the Democratic Party james . I am reading this oped this morning on Chuck Schumer going absolutely wild ballistic on betsy devos says betsy devos would single handily decimate our Public Education system if confirmed her plan to privacy education could derive students are from good Public Education helping students from wealthy families get another leg up that is not even true because she hasnt as opposed Public Schools wants competing models Public Education so bad schools get better seems like democrats are just trying to stop, all of the president s nominees for his cabinet. I think you know that is going to be between congress, and the president s nominees where we do we basically support the president where we out there creating Good Union Jobs that is what we do we cant support him on everything, but we know he is doing the right thing with regard to trade, with regard to a number of issues, and where we agree with him we will support him. Are how significant do you think this trade executive order will be on jobs . Do you have a number do you have an expectation of what we will see when he starts doing these bilateral deals . Well we dont know what is in those deals we dont know what he is goi to do but we hope that he basically focuses on great multinational corporations to come back here, when you read the papers there is already Companies Like apple saying oh were going to spend millions of dollars United States. Were going to build televisions here, i mean unheard of what a you are reading in the the wall street journal, and the different trade publications, so these are good developments i look forward to more and more companies coming back to yu consolidates, under the pressure from this administration. You scratch your headed thinking how come this havent been done. You are exactly right why if it was this simple all you had to do is say something, and ford pg changes their mind why did not we do this before . I agree with you how about focus on American Worker . We have been talking about it for a long time. That is us our major issue, bring Good Union Jobs, back to United States, and that is what is happening. Maria i got to ask about minimum wage about the construction on keystone xl pipeline president signed antibiotic to discontinue construction on keystone xl daytota access pipeline what does that mean for injobs do you think this is going to be goodpaying jobs . Thousands of union jobs will be created we have been talking about this for 10 years or five years at least about basically and unfortunately, the administration opposed us on this this is another victory where we think, this is going to create Good Union Jobs, we know it will create them we are going ahead we support the president with regard to the executive order with regard to keystone day toto Dakota Access another development why wasnt this before finally on right think a when you talk about overly how many people are going to be in unions it is going to go up because of what were doing here bringing jobs back and also, basically starting to build pipelines that we need here in this country. Maria what about minimum wage that is one area where you may differ with the president , look, he said he doesnt think that the minimum, minimum is high minute wage high enough wants to leave it to States States will did i what do you think . Well, i dont think that is good i think we have for leadership there should be federal issue, you know, i support 15 dollars, when we talked about about 15 dollars everybody said when you started talking about that you know five years ago three years ago oh that is rilsdz what do we see states across the United States, everybody regulates minute wage everybody he it is away too low going up my state michigan raised it all republicans raised it amazing feeling heat out there realize on wrong track weve got to raise minute wage give people a raise. Does it make sense depending which state may be minute wage in new york should not be same minute wage in smailtown in the middle of the kin where cost of living is lower i mean do you agree different. No, i dont you have to show leadership that is what we had before this was a national right to Work National minute wage we have to have that we should set one across the country, otherwise you are going to have Everything Different you are going to have certain states like kansas wont even increase it weve got to make sure we have something that is a national right to work. Maria what should be number james . I like 15. Lets do it that is our goal lets get it there. Maria all right we leave it there james good do you have you on the program we so esre it. Thank you.

How am i supposed to give he aspirational speech if you are talking and texting . Come on now, . Clear. What is your problem you cannot texting at movies. On these guys show how not cool to talk and text in the theatre i got a berried idea i got a better idea take the phone. Ouch. No talking policy celebrating 20 years since opened with just a single screen in austin over two dozen locations nine states six more theatres opening this year the past two decades publications liketime wired Entertainment Weekly have dubbed it the coolest they are being in america joining us cofounder ceo tim lee good to see you. Good morning how are you. Congrats on all the celebrating about the company what sets it apart from typical theatre. Clips before happened one of the biggest indicators a strictest no talking no texting policy for 19 3 4 years that comes from my position of being a movie lover my only qualification for being in this business i think it translated into this part of our identity. Tim, hey this is brian, so this you know your doing a great job obviously growing fairly quickly there are a lot of competitors in the space too case i think this idea of experience motive watching, is growing how do you distinguish yourself from some competitors in the space how do you stay ahead . We do it two different ways, one is the sort of getting back to basics understanding a customer wants a special experience, so we tte presentation we have a great sound, picture quality, our strict no talking, expanded offerings we can have a beer in the theatre and from scratch cooking in the kitchens. The only problem is tim it is Dagen Mcdowell is that people who have been to a draft house and then when maybe on vacation visiting friends or family they go back to where they live there isnt one. [laughter]. That is really a first class problem for me i suppose i dont view that as a problem at all. It is. Not expanding. It is if you cant keep up with the the demand; right . Well we are setting a course that is it is fairly measured, we have been expanding relatively rapidly but expanding out of our revenues we havent taken debt into company, it is out of cash flow we continue to expand. So we dont want to do a rapidly expansion maybe construing up what is special about brand. Interesting so many people talk about how people are not going to movies they are watching at home, pg binging on netflix yet you are growing do you see increasing ubs in of people coming . To watch films. We had highest grossing year in cinema history last year eclipsed last record which was year before i think pretty safe i look at argument about home viewing as a bit of a red herring in that my real competitors are the activities you do outside of the house, you make a decision to stay home or to get out of the house so i compete against restaurateurs clubs live music comedy that sort of thing. I guess cheapest price you look at environment how is Business Today tim. Business fantastics we have had an absolutely incredible end of the year, on both sides a lot of really great independent films like moonlight, cross over films like la la land, then the films Like Star Wars covering all bases a fantastic cap to great year.

In the meeting with theresa may, i hope they get to trade deals. That puts a positive spin on trade. Steve bannon in the trump organization, the media, what do you say, just needs to be quiet.
