Dagen very fine gentleman to help make the world sense. And 30 Seconds Health care, taxes from a geopolitical risk him and he think we can talk about more in the morning . Maria a lot to come. Im loving the interview you did with the wall street journal and the president. Moving markets on the dollar. Federal reserve chairman janet yellen. Ignorance on my kid yesterday. What did he do yesterday. Janet. China not a currency manipulator. Its a good day. Is kind of winging my way now. Dagen its called hes been in the job since late january and he sees the world differently than when he was campaigning. Maria right after telling us hes got to do Health Care First which was completely surprised to see they are so kneedeep into health care that they would not. Dagen broke the news yesterday when news yesterday morning quite frankly that the administration would not be about china a currency manipulator. Over and over again. Maria annika mrsa with the wall street journal yesterday. The last 24 hours has mr. Markets. Your interviews are fantastic. Maria its got a lot to talk about this morning and this is the group. Member of the House Foreign Affairs and oversight committees as well as Freedom Caucus, florida congressman ron desantis is that desperate a lot to talk about. The cio chief Investment Officer of Wells Fargo Investment Institute is here going through Bank Earnings as well as dollar movements. Under secretary of state for Political Affairs under president george w. Bush Nicholas Burns is at best. Former ceo and nominee in the past is at best. John maca seroquel. We will get into regulatory issues with john mack allowed the bacon her. President donald trump is threatening to stop payments to insurers and get democrats to negotiate the legislation. According to the wall street journal. President trump said during an exclusive sitdown to speak about that. Health care has been going along with negotiations. Its just a negotiation and it going to take a little while longer. As you probably here in congress is coming along. They want it to happen. We will have no democrats come is zero. That means we have to get close to 100 of republicans. Not an easy way to run a government. Maria Chuck Schumer reportedly responded. President trump is expecting to hold hostage health care for millions of americans, many of whom voted to achieve a political goal of her appeal that take Health Care Away for millions more. This strategy will fail. Lets talk about that. Republicans think Health Care Payments approved unconstitutional in first place. Do you think withholding these payments would actually happen and what is the impact . Its unlikely he will withhold payments. The low income americans who the deepest and democrats in power forever. Hes trying to use whatever tools has got to negotiate and pressure and its still a pretty to thread. Even if the Freedom Caucus is moving towards congress, moderates and republicans are part of the problem. Democrats are setting off no signals they will cooperate at all. Maria its unfortunate whats going on. One thing he said to me this week is that its incredibly hateful. The truth is congress used to have coffee and get together. How do you get anything done in that regard . Its incredibly polarizing. Disappointing. What i would say is i would recommend to president take a pause on health care. They to thread the needle. Theyre not going to get moderate senators that port by member kautsky so i dont think it will pass and therefore they are already now starting to say tax refund may not happen this year. My recommendation is the most bipartisan policy issue we can take on infrastructure. The commerce is for it. Business is for. Can you do a sidebyside . This is what you can do. Infrastructure and business tax reform. You cannot do personal tax reform. I would take infrastructure and business tax reform. That would be my focus for 2017 and you have a shot to get it done. When you get into personal tax reform it gets into itemized items and becomes incredibly difficult. Maria thats not what theyre doing. They can do it next to his midterms coming. You dont know if this is a little rhetoric of trump saying i havent given up on it and thats how he is. Hes a battler. Maria yesterday the Freedom Caucus chairman mark meadows told a Radio Station in North Carolina did a Health Care Deal is very close. He said that. Brian immediately set afterwards we have to Fund Insurance payments. That thing i think is a little more hazy. Dagen but you talk about the division between republicans and democrats. The division between the Freedom Caucus and the rest of the republicans in office are in congress is the reason that health care build didnt go to about. One of the things that meadows said in that interview that he did, youre referencing talking about were going to drive down premiums. The cbo score in the gop bill in the first place said that premiums would be lower, 10 lower by 2026. I know that is further out. That is certainly passed the midterms. But they cant theyre cutting off their nose to spite their face. That is how i see with the Freedom Caucus digging in their heels over what was small issues. By the way, the senate was going to rip it up anyway. For him on tax reform, if he got health care passed first, that is the biggest event in health care. Because of the 900 billion. I just think if you focus on business tax reform, they would near a solution under president obama. They are closer to a solution under President Trump because there was a probusiness force behind it. Trip for one thing he did say earlier was if we cant and dont get health care to admit will just cut taxes. In that regard, i took it as no tax reform package coming. Just cutting corporate taxes. Dagen can we also talk about the fact that theres so much going on the geopolitical stage. Youre talking about syria, iran, russia china and north korea. Does that take momentum away from the domestic agenda because to say he has his hands full is an understatement. I think it helps them right now. Syria turned it around a little bit. And then he even gave some of the people who are just opposed to have some reason to support them and it turns the tide a little bit for some people. Hes clearly feeling he could do little more as president and not just having failure headlines, but success isnt people praising. Maria there are deals being done. Given what has taken place in syria, that the leverage to say you are backing this guy up for the u. S. And then there is another deal being done on that as china. China suggest they will help us with north korea. They did report yesterday they were going to have the currency report and not label china a currency manipulator. That was a big deal. There is one challenge in all the news yesterday showed it. Its very much in his pocket. Hes the one talking about china as currency manipulator. Hes the one the one talking about tax reform. Very hard for many people in markets to now depend on exactly what he thinks. These can change quickly. Dagen can we point out that after the election, before did not duration, the narrative was trump closer to russia pulling away from china. Its the exact opposite. Maria you help us with north korea. We will be good on trade. We wont label you a currency manipulator. Yesterday, this is a guy who likes to win. He wants to legislate away and. He has a little wind behind his back right now. Im surprised to still focusing on health care, but he could get a real win on tax reform and that would be a homerun because it hasnt been able to get done in decades. Maria its true. Well talk all about this. Stay with us at 7 00 a. M. Eastern. Ill be speaker was caucus member ron desantis. You dont want to get this want to miss that given all the issues around Freedom Caucus and the help your situation. First of the turbulence continues for United Airlines. United airlines.

Reporter David Einhorn ramping up pressure on General Motors to split its common stock into two classes. The move comes as einhorns Hedge Fund Greenlight Capital dominates through new candidates for the companys board and also accuses gm of misrepresenting his proposal. To investors and rating firms. Bloomberg is reporting the automaker has drawn attention for upping its inventory here in the u. S. But now the company says it is only building a pitstop because it plans to idle truck and suv factories for 10 weeks in order to retool them for the new models. Back to year. Maria a lot of pressure on gm stc tesla increasing in value. Elon musk either is the most brilliant guy ever maria lucky or desecrate a short squeeze ive ever seen in the history of the market. The idea that its valued more than gm and ford is absolutely incredible. There has to be a short squeeze going on if not based on multiple. Einhorn is pressuring gm. He doesnt seem to be getting very far thing. I dont know where thats going for him. Another tech Company Getting attention from investors. Maria does it feel like 1990s to you . What tesla and amazon and confused market values versus traditional. Dagen at least they make something. In terms of valuation, they have not proven that they can ramp up production in any significant way. Ford and General Motors know how to manufacture a variety of different vehicles and do it quite well, even being union shops. Tesla has yet to prove that it can mass produce a car that is reasonably priced to the American People. The valuation is not incredible. It is absurd. Maria gmc or io very bare a lot of credit. When trump went after her, she took a hard line. Shes taken a hardline. She says no multiple. Dagen i will add one quick thing. Ceos of Car Companies are shown in. Elon musk a little. To be the head of a car company. Thats all im saying. He might be greatest on under rich folks, but you start trying to sell to the people i grew up with, good luck, buddy.

International Energy Agency warning it expects demand growth to slow down for a second straight year. Right on the phone is priced teachers are not Fox News Contributor phil plan. Though, oil at 53 and change right now. Your thoughts on this report. There is no doubt theyre expecting mandslow a little bit. A lot of that is because what we w in russia and india earlier in the year. Right now india has some Currency Movement that slowed oil demand a little bit. I dont think its indicative of overall demand growth. Even with falling demand, the International Energy agency as saying right now the market is close to being in balance and that continues our production car. We could actually fall into a supply deficit later this year. Fail, it is robert. How are you. Nice to see you. What do you think opec continues to say they sign out for and do you think they actually stay within what they are saying . It seems like some people go outside and make a statement and then they do what they want. At this point, you cannot underestimate. They shot everybody. Even the International Energy agency says theres compliance is that 99 . Other private forecasters say its even higher than that. 104 . Anybody who underestimates opecs resolve has got it wrong. If you look at the nonopec compliance, it is improving dramatically and that bodes very well for an extension of cut at the opec meeting in may. Where do you think of what price are they happy do you think over the next six months. They want to see oil trade to 60 a barrel. They keep talking about the increase in u. S. Oil output. They are not afraid of that. They realize it is going to take time for u. S. And nonopec producers to match their cards. Even with slower demand growth of 1. 3 Million Euros a day, that is going to be in a much tighter market in higher prices for cartel. Maria we live it right there. A fraction of this morning. Phil flynn. Thank you so much. Well be hearing from the Oil Companies sued in rms of firstquarter earnings. Were you saying . Phil is right in the right in opec stays within the supply bookends, then at the end of the day you will see oil continued a trend of higher. Maria i would think given the policy is a tapping into the energy or, having more supply on a global market, that would be prices lower over the longterm. The geopolitical risk bodes well for oil prices. With your left, look to your right is something going on somewhere. Is good. For the u. S. Industry, are merging a little bit more as opec pulls back. Dagen use of Energy Sector in terms of giving us more leverage on the world stage, every make it easier to pump oil in this country, it gives us more control muggeridge for example and julia turner pointed out the fact secretary of energy as part of the National Security council. It is significant. The ability to produce fossil fuels here in the united state is an important point to making us less reliant on countries that hate us. Trade him in growing divide between the u. S. And russia right now. President trump declared relations or 10 countries at an alltime low. Escalating tensions there. We would give it a backdrop of the meeting yesterday.

Maria welcome back, happy thursday, everybody, thanks so much for joining us. Im maria bartiromo, it is april april 13, 6 30 a. M. On the east coast. Alltime low, highlighting the strain relationship between u. S. And russia right now. Tillerson had first meeting with Vladimir Putin following last years strike in syria. Clearly our view is that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end an they brought it to themselves with the conduct in the war in the past few years. We discus our view that russia as closest ally has the best means of recognizing ability. Maria very latest as satellite imagery suggests that north korea is planning yet another nuclear test reportedly today. On wall street its all about the banks today. We are going to be hearing First Quarter earnings and ahead of opening of trading that will head the numbers up today. He told the wall street journal yesterday that the dollar is getting too strong and with that the dollar soldoff, indicateing down ftse down 2 third of a percent as cac quarante in paris. In asia overnight, here is the story. Nikkei average is down a quarter of a percent. Was it a smart move or a mistake . Commercial thats getting pushback from google this morning. Why it was force today pay blackberry 800 million. The gateway to the west, the details between st. Louis and the nfl. President trump spoke about the deepening divide with moscow over syria and other issues. It would be wonderful as we were discussing just a little while ago if nato and our country could get along with russia. Right now we are not getting along with russia at all. We may be at an alltime low in terms of relationship with russia. This is built for a long period of time, but we are going to see what happens. Maria joining us right now former u. S. Army Intelligence Officer andrew, thank you so much for joining us. How do you see the relationship right now. What do you think needs to happen to repair relations with russia. I think saying that relations is an alltype low is hyperbolic. Dagen you basically read my bubble. The berlin air lift. I think, look, it says something to the depth of divide between the u. S. And russia that with the most potentially prorussian president in history or at least in modern history since end of the cold war, u. S. And russia arat the same lodger heads under obama, under bush and clinton and so and so forth. Look, im not sure anything can repair the relationship with russia. They want to hang onto assad. They want to have freedom of action on Eastern Europe and we want to prevent that. Andrew, youre talking about the two places that have the largest stockpile of nuclear and so we have to make sure that we even though they are adversary that we get along and we figure how to play in the sand box to the best of each others ability, how do you start getting there . Look, thats part of tillersons mission. Tillerson is over there to pay the good cop to nikki hailys bad cop at the un. Hes not saying regime change. Hes clearly with a message about assad personally and assads family and the future use of chemical weapons. What i would suspect tillerson is saying to him, we dont mind having someone in this regime running the country in the future. We dont even mind having a major u. S. Presence in the future, what we do mind is having assad personally there. Coming is first step on that. Andrew, one of the big news events yesterday didnt happen in moscow, it happened when President Trump i actually believe in nato now and i support nato and nato is strong. What do you make of that stance and that turn and what it says about the russiau. S. Relationship Going Forward . Boy, the best thing in washington is when the swamp creatures start being nice to you. [laughter] it speaks to u. S. National interest, once you become the president you realize that the Alliance Structures are really important and i think i think also they have learned a little bit to speak the correct words, you know, diplomatic jargon, how to reassure nato allies but certainly both the president and the secretary of state over the last two weeks have said a lot more things that make our nato allies comfortable. Maria lets move onto north korea. Take a look at the satellite imagery suggesting that the nation is preparing for a sixth nuclear test possibly to coincide with the 105th anniversary of the birth of the state founder. He expects him to cooperate. Perhaps they get better terms on trade, listen to this. I think china can help us, i hope china can help us, we talked about trade and i can tell you, china will do much better on trade if they help us with north korea. Maria do you think he knows that . I told him, yeah. Maria is trade policy enough to convince china to do something concrete . Well, you know, there are have been two really interesting articles, one say saying north korea to avoid provocations when the u. S. Warships are near it, the second one is saying that north Korea Nuclear tests are a strategic embarrassment for china and potentially a danger to beijing itself and not just the United States and the region. So i think theres definitely the emergence of a second narrative within china and Chinese Government that there may be that north korea is not necessarily the Strategic Asset they thought it was but there might be room to cooperate with the u. S. And finding a more permanent solution. Dagen read into this for what its worth. China sent north korean freighters loaded with coal and turned around and placed orderers from coal with the United States. So at least that in terms of trying to pse chinas action and with the uss cole, the strike group there moving to korean peninsula, its expect that had at least japan moves warships into the region to join forces with the United States. So theres a lot happening and a lot of like incremental steps in terms of putting pressure in north korea from our allies in china. The rap on the chinese has been they with ramp it up and they dont really press the levers, they would rather have the regime there that united korean peninsula. Are there more levers that should be pulling. This is why historically korea has been divided, competing great powers like china, like japan, like oceanic powers like the United States and they each want a piece of it. Certainly, theres more leverage the chinese could be pulling. I think the coal embargo is such a huge piece because its 90 of koreas income. A lot of cash flow is restrained, youre going to see serious Behavioral Changes from the kim regime. Maria do you expect anything from the military drills in south korea this morning, what will be the impact . Well, i think the most dangerous moment is april 15th, which is big day in north korea because its kim jong uns birthday this saturday. Exactly. I suspect he celebrates his birthday different than we do in the United States, but, you know, no, i think there is we are closer to military confrontation in north korea than we have been since kim jong un took power in 2012. When President Trump talks about the trade and currency manipulation with respect to china, i dont think thas really what gets anything. At tend of the day, china is a global player. They are going to move and navigate to wherever its best to them. Its all about the idea of not wanting the confrontation to take place in the south sea. Absolutely. Not least because any confrontation with north korea gives us an excuse to strengthen our military allies in the pacific rim particularly japan, south korea, australia, philippines, elsewhere. If its right in the wake of a north Korea Nuclear provocation the sympathy is with us. Can you talk about what President Trump did the last week and why did we move into north korea and the changes that took place because it got a lot of press maria he said it was an armada. Im just trying to find out what he tried to say about the armada. I think it was the biggest ever. Look so its actual presence is not that unusual. I would say that it is unusual that the president is consciously translating his deterrent success in syria into a confrontation in north korea. Hes linking that explicitly and the onus is on kim jong un. Im not bashar alassad, you want a confrontation, you can havene. Maria jpmorgan just reported earnings, 1. 65 a share versus 1. 5, the stock a moment ago was trading down, whats your take of the banks right now . Theyre expected to have a pretty good quarter because a year ago was a bad quarter for them. But jpmorgan, i think, is doing pretty well relative to others. Maria thats the leaders. U. S. Banks are in really good position right now. Maria how big is that going to be for them in. Between reg reform, business sector feeling better, confidence is up, u. S. Consumer is doing better, credit cards, u. S. Bank is in a good position right now. Dagen two or three more times this year. Maria by the way jamie diamon is saying that the u. S. Consumer is doing well. It has been the business sector. A little soft in the way that surprised them. Credit card balance is over a trillion. Now you have the highest its been in maybe ever. Maria yeah, all right, we will leave it there. Andrew, good to see you. Great inside as always from you.

President trump threatening to withhold crucial obamacare payments to force democrats on the negotiating table according to the wall street this journal. The president told me that Health Care Reform is coming. I think we are doing very well on health care, its been very much misreported and we will save perhaps 900 billion. You look at the kind of numbers that we are talking about, thats all going back into the taxes and we have to do Health Care First to pick up additional money so tha we get great tax reform. Maria Senate Minority lead responded to the president s threat, here is what he says, President Trump is threatening to hold hostage health care from millions of americans, many of whom voted for him to achieve a political goal of repeal that would take Health Care Away from millions more. The cynical strategy will fail. Joining us right now Freedom Caucus member congressman ron, congressman, good to see you, thank you so much for joining us. Can you give us the status check first and foremost s there a new bill underway and how close are you . Well, im not exactly sure. I can tell you that the white house and particularly the Vice President have done a really good job of bringing to the table new ideas that can get us into a place where we are going to have a product thats ready for prime time and i think most importantly that will put a downward pressure on insurance premiums, i think the original bill wouldnt have done that and so i think the white house is keenly aware, so ive had a lot of good ideas brought forward that i could be comfortable with. I dont think theres a final product yet but i definitely think theres a way forward. Maria when the president said earlier this week to me in that interview, weve got to do Health Care First, we are still negotiating in order to get to tax reform that was a surprise to people because people werent clear in terms of that you guys are still in it the way you are, we thought that you were, you know that the congress and the president were turning the taxi to tax reform but, in fact, youre not until health care is done, take us through process. What has changed in the last two weeks since gop bill failed . Well, i think, maria, the failure of the bill was based on an artificial deadline and deadline set you must pass this bill by this date. Theres no reason why we had to do that and we hadnt build consensus within our conference. You didnt have consensus on march 23rd. Most people who looked at the bill, look, you guys have to fix it, do it right, dont go fast, take your time and get it right. And so the American People ultimately arent georgia to care whether the bill passed on march 23rd or april 2 3rd, what thir going to care about is they see improvements in health care. I think we are moving in that direction. Maria right. I think people understood once that bill wasnt able to go that we cant walk away from it because we have been promising it for so many years, we have to get down and getting a deal. I think that theres definitely a pathway for it and i definitely think we cant quit. Dagen congressman, people expected you to get something done, you had seven years and the Insurance Companies are putting together a price in their plans for 2018, those would be presented june and july to the insurance regulators at the state level, so there is urgency, i didnt even throw in 2017, working on reconciliation rules for 2017 year. Its not significant. Senate wasnt going to take the bill up till may anyway. I think we could have ironed things out rather than set the deadline, its important to point out, you said we had time to put up with the plan, theres pretty broad acceptance of the replacement elements of the plan, not that they are all perfect but members are fine with that. The disagreement has been on the repeal part of it, the initial bill left a lot of obamacare intact and what more limited Government Conservatives are trying to do, can we pair back parts of obamacare so we let Market Forces flourish. The replace element is probably more there, we have to come on grips on repeal. Maria the caucus chairman mark meadows says hes confident and a lot feel that they are hostage to health care. You believe that you can get a deal this year, what, in the next couple of weeks, because meadows say they may cut resource short and vote to legislation, thats according to usa today, are your colleagues cutting the trip short . Well, i would support that if we have the consensus for sure and so i think that we are looking at a relatively short horizon, maybe more than a week or two, by the time we get to midmay, we are going to have to send this to the senate, im optimistic that we can do it. Yes, it does help with tax reform and tax reform is very important and i certainly want to do that big time but we still have to recognize that you have to get the Health Reform right, if you dont get it right and a year from now people are saying, man, my premiums are going up. I think a lot of them are going to say, no, you should have gotten it right. We are in the process of trying to get it right. Maria thats a great point. Congressman, its matt murray. The president blamed the Freedom Caucus and put a lot of pressure on that group and said, they were youre talking about repeal. We know that theres been provisions of the mandates, do you think republicans might compromise but the problem is the divide with the gop was pretty severe, can you tell us more is the Freedom Caucus, are you seeing things move that direction or is the Freedom Caucus changing your stance on some things . Well, i think if you remember the initial debate, the bill was unveiled in early march and said, okay, we are going to pass it in a couple of weeks, take it or leave it. There was initially no interest in amending the bill, finally towas the end there was movement to change parts of the bill, so ive been open to a variety of approaches. I mean, you know, my constituents say you have to repeal it outright, as you mentioned, theres moderate who is may not be supportive of that. Theres other things that the Vice President has put forward, some folks in the white house about letting states apply for waivers, maybe let states set out free Market Alternatives to obamacare that may not go quite as far as i want but would be something that we could at least going to constituents saying, we are delivering some benefits to them in terms of lower costs. Congressman, the Freedom Caucus cared a lot about the premiums but the moderate conservatives as well as a lot of the gop governors cared about medicaid expansion, ohio, michigan, nevada, okay, and on the senate side collins, portman, you go on. How do you strain the circle, the congressperson in virginia, how do you square that circle . That would be some way where you could compromise, you are conservative that is are really interested in injecting Market Forces into the Health Insurance system. We dont like the obamacare mandates. We think we can do that a better way but we recognize theres medicaid concerns and that would be something even though florida didnt expand medicaid and i think that theres been problems with doing that, maybe you give a little bit there so that the moderates will have a better with that in exchange of moving into a public direction. Dagen why are you guys on a twoweek spring break if this is not getting done f this is so critical to the American People f tax reform and tax cuts Health Care Reform, repeal and replace, you name it, why are you on a twoweek break, why didnt yall stay and work . Well, i was supportive of canceling the recess and staying, hammering it doubt, getting it done and then bringing it to the floor, and i think we should have done that. Now, we im not on a vacation, im here working my district, im going to go right after this i have an event and we have been moving around, so we do move when we are down here. I think youre right, this bill needs to get done, we had made progress over the last week, week and a half and while you still have people negotiating, its just a little bit different when people go back home and its harder to keep in touch with people. So i think we probably should have stayed and i was supportive of that. Maria yeah, a lot of people feel that way. [laughter] maria youre working obviously, congressman, but your colleagues. Let me ask you, u. S. Foreign policy under fire this morning. You along with Jason Chaffetz have requested documents of a chemical weapons deal, president barack obama rather than taking steps opted for a diplomatic response where the Syrian Regime turned over stockpile for destruction, this approach failed. Obama Administration Policy obviously coming into question after last weeks chemical attack on syrian citizenships, congressman, the National Security subcommittee chairman, what are you looking for in relation to these documents . Well, we want to know what the did the administration know about the Syrian Chemical Weapons because just a couple of days before Obama Left Office susan rice said, weve got all the chemical weapons out, president obama said that as well, now that we know assad still has chemical weapons, youve heard certain former Obama Administration officials, well, we knew all g that he had chemical weapons left over. Really, thats not what you told the American People. We need to figure out what they knew and when they knew it and why they didnt inform the congress. We have some combat advisers in that theaters, not necessarily in assad sphere of influence but in other parts of syria and to say that you have gotten rid of all chemical weapons, if you knew that that wasnt true, to me that is a mayor problem and i think it raises questions of how we evaluate the iran deal because they are saying the same stuff there. Maria congressman, thank you. We will be right back maria welcome back, two men in suburban chicago facing terrorism charges after arrested for allegedly conspire isis.

Maria jpmorgan kicking off First Quarter earnings, 1. 65 per share on revenue of 25. 6 billion, the results are setting the stage for wells fargo and citi who are also reporting the quarterly numbers this morning. Joining us darrell, wells fargo chief Investment Officer, darrell, good to see you, thank you so much for joining us. Does jpmorgan tell us anything about the entire industry . It should be a really good quarter for Bank Earnings as a whole. You looked at the sector you say that earnings year over year are up 15 , second only to technology for q1, q1 is going to be a Strong Quarter. Theres three things you need to keep your eye on as it relates to q1. One is 9 Earnings Growth across the board which is the best First Quarter since 2011 and single probably best quarter weve had in six, seven years. Second, youve got Revenue Growth finally showing up 6 to 7 . Maria thats big. We havent had that for a long time. And lastly, youre seeing earnings narrow. The sectors that are doing really well, are doing well and the ones that are not, are not. Does this mean this is not going to continue because we are seeing the consumer be strong, as youre saying a great quarter for banks, how much upside is there to be had here . Unless you stop the curve, limited upside to the banks from here. Maria limited upside because of the valuation, where the stocks are . Yeah. If you look at 15 thats year over year comps, so what you need the curve to steepen from here and Economic Activity to pick up. Reality is q1 is probably going to come at 1 gdp growth, you need a solid jq to make the bank move. The minute trump came in and started saying, we are getting rid of doddfrank, we are reducing regulation, Consumer Confidence boosted and all of a sudden, you know, the banks until yesterday rates were moving up, but outside of that, you need everything kind of worked perfectly and now i think the earnings will show it. Yeah, i think youre right. Youre getting a little bit of the feedback of the trump trade, we are up 12 , we had the weakening of the dollar, you saw financials fade, some of the action that is took place in november through call it march first when the march peaked are starting to fade back to prove it to us. Maria what about that in the dollar is down again today because in the interview with the wall street journal the president said its getting too strong, what does that mean Going Forward then . Do you want to buy stocks here and what are you telling clients . We would tell clients to hold tight here. We think dollars worth of cash more valuable than putting it to work at this moment in time. It doesnt mean cycle has fully ended but we are eight years into it we have to be thoughtful of where you put money to work. If you take out sectors that ran with trump, the markets have done okay. Maria, says we are up 12 , isnt that amazing . Yes, we could be saying that around the same level and could have been amazing run up 12 . I completely agree. We have been telling clients, 12 since the election, 20 year over year, be smart about this. Make sure youre taking profit as you go. Can you quickly just speak to the regulatory climate because it has come bag and we back and we havent seen any action on doddfrank, how uncertain do you think the climate is . Well, i think for pendolum has swing and its the tailend in anticipation that regulation walks itself back, whether its doddfrank, latest chat around glasssegel. The idea that youre pushing that back, pushing toward a more Healthy Business climate, threat economic engine run versus regulatory overhang. Maria helps earnings. At the end of the day, the banks, even if you unwind doddfrank, they are not going to lever their Balance Sheet back to 35 times, theyre not going to get into the whole prop trading. They spent five years getting ready for the regulatory paradigm. The problem is as dow began, 210 so flat, theres no Real Movement for rates. The curve is telling you that even if the fed rises, its not going to do much. Be careful of not getting ahead of your skis on equities. We had a ten year at 2, 2 and a half percent at yearend 2017. We dont think so. Theres still Strong Demand for treasuries and if you look at where treasury issuance is, 2017 will be one of the lowest years that weve had in several years. Supply demand dynamic is not good there. Rates stay probably around this level or lower, inflation is going to tick higher, the yield curve is going to take a big jump, we are not so sure about that. Maria do you still see the same demand for stocks that you see . Its interesting, we are starting to see early demand for stocks, fund flows have just start today turn post election. So when you look at your traditional indicators that youd be more concerned about, credit spreads, fun flows walking back, m a activity, ipo activity walking back, none of those are happening. That suggests wur youre not at the end of the cycle. Maria we will leave it there.

M. On the east coast. Tensions rising over north korea. New satellite images show that they are planning another nuclear test this weekend. President trump talked about the role and dismantling the threat. Made a very good bonding i think with a very Good Chemistry together. I think it was to help us with north korea. I think he means will and i think he wants to help. We will see whether or not he does. Maria tensions come with north korea amid a strained relationship with russia. Hit his First Official meeting where they say relations are at an alltime low right now. Banks are the top story on wall street right now. The stock up ahead of the open as you can see there. Almost 1 . We are were waiting on firstquarter reports. President trumps comments on the dollar the dollar is getting too strong. That sent the dollar lower. Its excited to be down about 20 points. Declines across the board as well. The major indices down about half a right now with the ft 100 down 40 points. We did have some trade data at a china and was is pretty good. The shanghai composite was up a fraction. The index in korea up almost 1 . The shucking number people second number people that choose not to redeem Credit Card Rewards.

Theyre calling on the soul military ally. President she wants to do the right thing. We do very Good Chemistry together. I think he wants to help us with north korea. We talked trade and a lot of things. The way to make a good trade deal is to help us with north korea. Otherwise it were just to go it alone. Maria dealmaking with china. The countrys leader is being watched. We are sending an armada of very powerful we have submarines that are very powerful. We have the best military people on earth i will say this. Hes doing the wrong thing. Hes making a big mistake. Maria joining us right now is former secretary of state Nicholas Burns. Thank you so much for joining us. How do you feel about this. Do you think china is on board with helping the u. S. And he gets positive that they have appeared to form a relationship there may be some trusted there trust there from mara lago the other night. I think the chinese do not want to see provoke a crisis. Theyre frustrated with him. They alsdont want to see north korea dissolved. Because they dont want to see that with a democratic republic aligned with us. President trump is right to pressure the chinese. Im just not sure that they will give him more than he gave any other president in the past. Maria that is an interesting take away. They dont want full change. Because in one scenario if theres any kind of refugee flow. They dont want to see that right up on their border. I think a President Trump is doing it the right thing here. He is practicing very effective diplomacy over the last week. There might be a limit on what is possible. And President Trump has been saying to the chinese this is partly in your your responsibility in his right to do that. Will just had to see how this plays out. What you see at the beginning. Its probably the most serious threat to the United States. They could have a Nuclear Weapon that could reach our west coast of the United States. Its unacceptable. The americans to have to put up with that kind of threat. Do they have particular end goal in mind of something that they want its probably the most isolated as you know government in the world. As a family run dictatorship. Theres been three of them alst a mafia dictatorship. They are highly repressive there probably the worlds greatest violator of the religious rights. Of their own people we are watching here as President Trump is shifting towards china its remarkable press conference yesterday. President trump came out in support of nato. Frankly i think this was the right balance. We need china to stabilize north korea and weve we got to be containing the russians. Tillerson met for nearly two hours. No sign that the meeting is any of the rising tensions. There is a low level of trust between our two countries. Right now were not getting along with russia at all. We may be at an alltime low in terms of the relationship with russia. It looks tense between tillerson and his russian counterpart. Where do you think their relationship goes from here. What was your take away. It was a very stiff message. They divided that country. They had been bombing civilians in syria they are aligned with the sod with assad and the russians interfered wh our elections. I actually think this is the right policy with support from the whole world and standing up to the russians but in a pragmatic sort of way you also need china to be cooperative in east asia. I think the Trump Administration is re centering itself. These more pragmatic voices. Maybe they have more weight right now than someone like steve being in. These are very impressive people. He reiterated his call on member nations to pay their fair share for defense. He no longer considers nato obsolete. Your thoughts. I was at nato. I believe in the alliance of president s. Its a great power differential. Russia has no allies. With 20 allies. He said its a Great Alliance he did say that nato had not been fighting terrorism. I think this shift towards nato is very positive for the United States. Can you just comment a little bit about syria. What do you think would be the next steps for the Trump Administration on what may be the best possible strategy. I supported the airstrikes but now we need a comprehensive policy and i think the administration would be right to push the russians and this may take years. 500,000 people dead i think thats the way we should push. They said that as a priority. Listen to what President Trump told me about the moment he actually broke the news to the president of china when he was with him. I was sitting at the table. Were now having dessert we have the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake youve ever seen. Mister president let me explain something to you. We just fired the missiles. Then cut back and depleted. It was another disaster. We Just Launched 59 missiles heading towards iraq. And i wanted you to know this. Heading toward syria. What are your thoughts on that. It mustve been quite a dinner. And frankly, i thought it was to the credit of the United States the President Trump moved so quickly. We back to our commitments to defend civilians against chemical weapons. We will see how it goes with the chinese. Ambassador, good to see. I think you so much. Jimmy kimmel poking fun on secretary of housing development. He was stuck for about 20 minutes in the elevator.

Even if youve never taken advantage of Credit Card Rewards youre not alone. 31 have never redeemed their rewards. Matt scholz, good to see you. Do these statistics surprise you. What more people not do more people not use their Credit Card Rewards. They just dont had Credit Card Rewards top of mind. They redeem them really regularly. The Credit Card Company doesnt want to make it easy for you to redeem it. Do they really encourage that. They certainly love Credit Card Rewards as a driver and as a headline to get people to sign up. In terms of actually getting them to redeem those rewards. And if they push it that hard. Do American Express people redeem more frequently than the other bank cards. Is it really correlation to who does higher or lower. What i do know the cashback is definitely the most popular thing to redeem before. They cant seem to get that for anybody these days. How does that work. Youre actually getting cashback i must have a ton of awards. They can write you a check. Or it could just be a statement credit that goes straight to your statement. And you never even see this. I think your study really likes that cashback opportunity and it probably shouldnt be too surprising are the ones who really like the cashback. Theyre very practical. Theyre very value driven. They dont focus on it when they get to the statement. Should we be calling the Credit Card Company and same check for my rewards. And then put it towards the bill. I remember i used to get quarterly or monthly statements. Its probably all online. We appreciate your time this morning. Thank you. Matt scholz joining us.

C. , to anything the president wants to do, i think he is he is doing what any ceo would do, using every opportunity, to bring people to the table i think these payments, that he has been talking about wth holding reduce deductibles a great way to get democrats to Start Talking hes got to get people in his party to Start Talking i dont think any want to go overwhelm have constituents coming on up to him complaining they lost payments because of Republican Action i think the president is doing what he needs to do to get people back to table on aca. Was that one of the reasons you didnt go forward because of pushback from left. There was a lot of pushback from left my problem was i lost some support on right when i didnt have enough republicans two republicans that we knew approach much going to lose anyway they didnt support betsy, losing one more republican that i wouldnt get the nomination so when i find out we lost, another republican, not wanting to tilt windows i think a lot of pressure from left people my hearing kept getting dragged out office of government ethics wouldnt negotiate approve ethics i filed in joan during that period of time levity came down hard on me once betsy devos was approved, or was confirmed, and and what they start to feel republicans maybe waivering, they came on even harder so i think a loss to republicans that hurt but i think pressure from the left. And the nice to have you on. Good to see you robert. With respect to to what the president and about maria spoke about yesterday i was taken aybak that he wants taken aback he wants to push health care. Maria wants to attack health care before tax reform in exclusive interview this week people worried tax reform to health care. Listen to this. Case i am saving a tremendous amount hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars were safing on health care. We are going to have a much better plan than obamacare which is failing, tax reform is going to be tough would be the be as tough as health care, health care is very, very difficult. If it doesnt happen just enough i will start taxes but the tax reform and the tax cuts are better if i can do Health Care First. Maria robert. Were. The question i was going to say yes no question for the president if he could get health care passed brings 900 million billion forward with respect to tax overhaul but chance of that being attlegd the needed based where moderate republicans democrats Freedom Caucus very slim, my recommendation would be lets get something passed legislatively either tax reform, or Real Infrastructure bill, and now i am very nervous that this wont get done in 17 if we go book at health care what is youre view on this . First of all, i agree with you, but i try and look at it i think maybe the way the president is looking at it which is, what is really this is a populist president , what i am from a political rspective you would like to get something acmplish like infrastructure, taxes, fromconomic or business perspective you would like something done like infrastructure or taxes. But what is really going to hurt the American People what is going to hurt working class and lower middle class people . It is this prongsed collapse of obamacare, these premiums way, way up as you know wouldnt up 7 last year, they are going up 25 this year, and the premiums are on top of the deductible so if you are paying 6,000 a year in premium, and youve got 5,000 dollar deductible you are paying 11,000 dollars before you get any benefit from your insurance policy i think what president wants to do again being a populist president is to try and address the issue that is going to cause the most pain to working and middle class earns i understand that i would love to have the business and the political solution, but i think there is a lot of sense to what he is talking about when he talks about trying to end the pain of obamacare, and look, the democrats should get to blame for this but longer it lasts more republicans are getting blame going to go home see constituents, and there is going to be problems. Maria that is what was saying. Dagen not the democrats you mentioned, andy it is Dagen Mcdowell, the republicans. Hey dagen. Dagen drnts get on bored with your nomination how much spinlt blame do a lot of these republicans deserve for not pushing ahead with progrowth agenda from the white house . They deserve a lot of blame, the problem with the Republican Party right now is that they that we have been in minority we have had president obama for so long, we were in minority before that we really dont understand how you govern we really dont understand the benefits of moving the ball down the field maybe not the perfect bill but the bill that gets ball downfield like democrats did with obamacare i got to tell you joe Manchin Bernie Sanders not same page on obamacare but had enough sense to vote for the it moved that ball down the field republicans have a very difficult time doing that, it is hurting them hurting them a lot. Maria right stick to principles they we had recent labor numbers last week, february came in, under 100,000 one of the reasons i people hyping infrastructure, the fastest multiplier of gdp the best for jobs yes we had a very good january we had a slowdown in february, i mean, if if we dont start going back to 250 plus we stay where we were in february, then you have to really start thinking about a jobs bill again at the end of the day, the one thing that i think a lot of the Business Community liked about this president is his pro business, his jobs wage approach, and i think that this health care, you know once again going back to it, is scrambling a lot of what the country wants the country really wants jobs and wages. Do you get concerned after seeing last numbers. You know the last numbers were really kind of a battle between two surveys you are right the Establishment Survey showed we did not generate the number of jobs we needed. But if you look at the Household Survey what produces as viewers know produces the Unemployment Rate, we have 472000 more people employed, 365,000 fewer people un ployed noiment rate went down for the right reasons about Labor Participation rate didnt decline normally causes a instruction in Unemployment Rate doesnt indicate labor market strengthening the laborer Participation Rate heldz percentage employed at highs we havent seen since february 2009 with respect to general population, in october of 2008, with prime working age americans 24 to 55yearold americans. So if you look at the Household Survey the numbers were really good the problem is the Establishment Survey didnt produce the kind of number we would you like but that wasnt even in line with adp report did show, the kind of job growth that we want to see so i think we need few more months to know whether those job numbers are going in the right direction or not. But we do need, look we always need economic stimulus we need job stimulus, weve had 8 years of basically 2 gdp growth that cant continue. But i do understand, why the president wants to get obamacare if i could fst something could be devastating for working middle class americans those are people that put him in office he needs to be very focused on what they need. Maria we will watch the developments andy thanks so much for weighing. Pleasure thank you. Andy joining us key issue for administration, russia relations Rex Tillerson met with russian president Vice President yesterday blake burman at the white house has that story good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you as well there was a sharp change in tone here from President Trump at the white house yesterday, as it relates, to he relations with russia during the campaign the president had suggested s momentum times maybe he could get along with Vice President and russia. But yesterday, he made it appear as if these two countries are miles apart. Right now were not getting along, russia at all we maybe at alltime low in terms of relationship with rush, putin is leader of russia. Russia is a strong country. We are a very, very strong country. We are going to see how that all works out. Vice presideladimir putin se agree saying on twiks in rush the following quote one could say the level of trust on working level especially on the military level has not improved but has rather deteriorated as putin had surprise meeting yesterday with secretary of state Rex Tillerson in moscow that meeting lasted for some two hours after that meeting tillerson held a News Conference with his counterpart, lavrov pars both polar opposites as relates to chemical attack in syria april 4 lavrov saying i am kweeth obviously the subwhere our views differ yesterday senior managers reporter speaking with reports did not make it seem as there there would he be a face to face meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin any point in the future. Blake burman at the white house coming up United Airlines struggling to pull out of the tailspin in passenger forcibly removed from a flight is suing 2 airline weve got the latest as backlash drags on then President Trumps boardwall under fire before ground is broken new over the from wildlife conservationist to stop construction on the project, back in a minute.

Maria the backlash is continueding this morning for fourth day in a row for United Airlines the passenger dragged from his seat on that overbooked flight is preparing to sue the airline, dr. David dow left with bloody face after he forcibly was removed, from that flight, on sunday, the city itself is taking action two, more officers involved in removing him from the flight, on administrative leave investigators review the incident, airline offering refund to every passenger on that flight. Also promising that no longer will Police Remove paying passengers from overbooked planes seems good strategy not to have o Police Moving people from seat after they pay fell another 1 lost 250 Million Dollars in market value because of this incident at one point the stock loves at a billion dollars in market value, then it came back. What a story. They stabilized what is also happening bringing out of woodworkve persons complained about airlines about flying, about united everybody had a bad experiencing, whatever even as to this case they dont put consumers firof customers first people peel i dont enjoy it, it is camped i have to pay for everything touch on large problem of image customer reerlgs. Ceo response was horrendous. Dagen initially statement united put out reaccommodating, seats. Yesterday blamed system failure, which is really not good for a ceo, because you are the guy in charge it is the system. I am shocked the policy that is employees can take a seat of paying passengers. That just seems illogical to me all about but terrible. I can explain that, trying to get a crew from one city to anotherto so another plane can take off inconveniencing one or four passengers for the sake of entire planeload of people trying to fly out of louisville, so that is and by the way, the airlines they do overbook planes case they use algorithms to adjust for people who dont show up i see ridiculous backlash likes of governor Chris Christie saying the government should ban airlines from overbooking planes. So you are a republican governor you are dwoktsdz for government traditional intervention into the business of airlines. Maria you are right. You know what you dont need government because yawniteed is going to pay price for treatment of this individual. Maria get out of the way a big hub, by the way, interesting i dont know if you saw the president comment about it yesterday on interview if you saw that. He said, airlines should pay up keep going higher he said at some point get to place that is what delta does ked passgers at what price are you willing to give seat up they give out gift cas, of 1,000 dollars what they did a if on flight should have been done at gate if they get to flight everybody there why not say somebody has to give up a seat otherwise we koobt take off. Right. Let everybody know, but to target one person. Drawing line at police not dragging you off bloodying you a good point, they finally did that. Quickly make this point i fly a lot ifully almost every week, and the vast majority are of the time it is the flying experience is awful not because of airline but the way passengers behave period. Period. Of course, i i had. Horrible how he was treated how he was treated but i see horrific behavior by passengers every week.

Good to see you. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Every time i think of you i think one interview i came to the floor of Morgan Stanley, when you had come back, the aspire trading desk was so happy to see you come back. A great day for me, and hopefully same way every time i think of you let me tell you what i think with after 9 i was running Credit Suisse you interviewed me i broke down. You cried you had a lot of friends clooekz workers per i should a horrible day for all of us unfortunately you and i did share that day together. It was incredible. Incredible look where we have come terrorism again number one issue on everybodys minds what are your thoughts in terms of what is happening in the world today, you see the jeebd out of Trump Administration, and north korea now on docket, syria, china, russia, how do you see all these. Well, i see them as issues bubbling for a while new president leadership more aggressive addressing these whether putting more support behind allies taking action like in syria. I think this issue in korea is a huge issue i am glad to see to reach out to president xi working with him on it, hopefully, things calm down hopefully the chinese can put pressure on north korea to slow down, back off but i think some point, as much as like to be not as directly involved, are some point we have to get very involved i think this administration is doing that, we are going to have a lot of wins have some losses but we cannot be passive the world changed terrorism is global now i think to let things go and just try to go down the middle of the road is very difficult to do, and i think President Trump is not going down the middle of the road he is taking action i am supportive of that. Absolutely. On that front. Why he. In terms of china you spent a lot of time in china let me ask you about that, and whether or not we could come to some kind of agreement with the other sfurp pow superpowe china now of trying to get through negotiations deal telling chinese president if you help us on north korea maybe a better situation on trade what should trade deal look like given your experience in china. Well, i think clearly, the chinese want opendoor policy on trade with u. S. We are a huge market it is very important, i dont know about the specifics of the trade deal but i dont think if trying to deal a relationship with government today, in china we are, i think we have to be very about flexible on trade do i not the think we can i think that would hurt all of us, look at the end of the day china produc deliver something in our country that we use and need very low price should take advantage of it and make sure exactly, make sure it is a fair transaction where we get their support in other areas. Maria ask how should we deal with for example, the chinese saying, look you are a Financial Services company john mack you could come sell to our 1. 2 billion people, but you are not going get an ownership do joint venture, 49 not going to ever own out and out. How do we deal with that. I think that changed. It has . If you go back, 6 or 7 years ago, Morgan Stanley was able to apply a piece of ashare company are a Brokerage Company in located in shanghai all over china. And had a lot of the same governance rules that we have here. We have learned a lot we have taught them a lot i think the the kind of a transfer of technology and nl of the markets, and also the Regulatory Environment compliance so the chinese have opened the door we may not own it outright, but i think over time Morgan Stanley most likely Majority Shareholder may be not but doesnt make any difference what we want is to have a level mailing field levelplaying field in that country given what happened with securities it is happening. Interesting the way you see it seen change over years. I have. Critical spots running major investment banks, so in terms of of the consumer and investor in china, what do you see in terms of flows do you think there is more appetite for actually buy stocks there is appetite, to send money or across the world to invest in u. S. Stocks for example. I think at the working level, and maybe, jr. , executive level most money stays in china and they reinvest through the local Securities Company i think chinese and that is broad statement i am sure someone will say you dont know what you are talking about but they like owning things they want to take risk they do take risks what has to be very direct and very focused is the Regulatory Environment, make sure that everything is above board same thing we do in this country you cant have rumors you cant put out false information it has got to be honest straightforward information. So the Chinese Investor i think heavily involved trying to own a piece of equity in that country. Lets talk regulations in the u. S. Sure. Trump wants to revamp doddfrank give the backed of the Business Climate Regulatory Environment last couple years i know has been business segment sitting on cash unwilling to put money to work, because of the regulatory burdens and really not knowing what is around the corner. I think it is pretty specific at least from my view and maybe maria it is because, i look at a lot of of this from investment banking, i think the banks investment banks had a tremendous amount of pressure put on them by regulators in 2008 given what you did the risk you took you deserve this keep you of Regulatory Oversight to make sure we got all back on a levelplaying field put in, the discipline we needed to manage risk more effectively, and make sure that werent putting too much leverage on at that time we needed i think very stringent controls government clearly put that on us but i think as you go out six or seven years after that i think has become almost like fed is running the companies and regulatory Running Companies i had ceo major bank say john i am sitting on so much cash, they will not let me raise dividend not let me buy stock back in if this continues we are going to be a utility stock, and not a growth stock, is to i think initially the right thing to do i think we need to easy up my impression you are just in shington President Trump is going to ease up i thi healthy. Rollback in regulation expected to impact earnings a good way. Exactly. John Morgan Stanley current Ceo James Gorman says he is against repealing doddfrank. Well i am not either begins against it or for it we need to block at implications if you did repeal it i do think we did and do have more control but needs to ease up as far as i am concerned, i dont think doddfrank whether you have it or dont have it so long as you have the oversight, of what weve been through i think james gorman or jamie whomever it will maybe live that nightmare i dont see with prior to that Time Leadership we will go down that road again. Loosening appropriate. Why he. Rollback in regulation one policy coming out of this administration weve got tax reform, earlier this week i spoke with president , and he said hes got to do Health Care First before tax reform a lot of people saying why is tax reform hostage to Health Care Reform. The deal on health care, what is your take on the impact of tax reform what do you want to see . Because after all we are looking at highest tax rate for the corporate sector across the board in you know, in industrialized countries. Maria to me not about the rate it is about how money is being used, when you pay your taxes. The president has talked about, infrastructure, we love new york, infrastructure is not that good in new york, when i moved to new york 1968 they were billed Second Avenue subway. Are you kidding me. 1968 . You are right just finished it. Well. That is right. So to me not overall taxes it is how we use the money our infrastructure without question go to La Guardia Airport third world airport. It is not Getting Better i know they are going to build a new one, so i am not that focused on do we need to reduce taxes if we can do that, and cut spending areas where weve not been efficient how we spend moneythat is. We need to fix infstructure across entire United States. Should be a priority. In my view i think health care should be a priority tric tricomri. My wife focused on medicine there are a lot of movements segregated men one of them Presbyterian Hospital i am involved in we are building a clinical for integrated men where we treat whole person not just one aspect of a Disease Health care is critical, and americans need to be smarter about how they live what they do, and i think integrated approach to men would be terrific. I love with a you are doing with new york presbyterian you have been incredibly philanthropic what else have you been doing since left Morgan Stanley tell us how you are allocating capital what you are doing with time. Best thing i have done, is realize i am a terrible golfer i dont play much golf anymore. Maria okay. Good. I am fascinated by young men and women in technology. They think differently than we do, they act differently, and very creative. So i spent most of my time either investing with or coaching some of the technology, and some of the things would come out man from israeli israel came to my office through relationship with a broker an app if you are at airport getting ready to get on a flight, for some reason flight is delayed an hour, and you take your iphone or your device, you tap it scans it twice, sends it to the cloud, you get audio. My god that is great a good idea. He has over a million users now another company i am involved with blink health care. Located in new york, 75 Million People in america who either under insured or not insured at all, what blink Health Care Using Technology is able to get it dratically lower price you learn a lot in syntech ups and downs i think it is going to continue to grow you see gold dpold started markets going to be in that area, that has spent a lot of time in technology. About terrifically i know you are going to tell us more weekend on wall street week john our guest on wall street week good to see you thank you so much join us this weekend for john mack on wall street we will be right back.

Maria United Airlines faces fallout from all sides this morning after forcibly dragging a passenger from a seat, joining me jou Varney Company host Stuart Varney stow weigh in wow what a story. Yes. The question is a lot of our viewers are can go me, why itself it still with us why still going on about this the dragging incident . What let me give you two reasons, why i think it is still with us. Number one, cameras the cameras are everywhere, we said before, i put it it to you maria, if there was no video of the dragging there would be no story it wouldnt have gone worldwide wouldnt be outrage because you couldnt see it. Because you can see the it, we are indeed outraged number one why still with us number two, i think that video was the spark that lit the antiairline fire if you like. None of us i think many of us really like to fly these days, the trip to the airport standing in line security take your shoes off please search walk wait in line like cattle call to get on plane guy sitting next to you coughs all over you ticket price fight for overhead luggage space, of course, overbooking airlines were right for this kind of thing to i happen to him the outrage spreads around the world continues on and on not going away any time soon, weve got press conference this morning with one of the passengers lawyers maybe one of his relatives up it comes all over again, repercussions on and own and on why still on it. Maria you are right, the ceo just decided now to give you know, the flight free make flight free to all passengers should have been first first response. Hold on if you gi money to ever passenger onboard they accept it, i dont think they can then sue you. Because you have accepted compensation, for what of you been put out for i think the move. I see strategy more see you in ten minutes, Varney Company begins every day 59 a. M.
