Bruce, and steve, general kellys press conference, it was reassuring to a lot of people, but the leaks keep coming. Well, every Administration David has breeks as people jockey for position, jousting with other agencies and the key is that kelly has brought function to the white house and these leaks are not stamping in the way of the big tax cuts through, the problem there, david, is congress and not the white house. David should we be concerned about management at the white house . I dont think that we should be concerned at all and theres a reason for it. What is pro growth about trumps agenda is the simple truth is that he is distracted, the white house is distracted, that it cant get anything done. As weird as that sounds, if you look through history the president s that have not a lot of legislation has the best growth, will the go back to calvin coolidge. David mike, we have rumors, many of them unsubstantiated and nonetheless, theyre out there. And general kelly, he had a remarkable press conference. Lets play a clip of that, go ahead. I was not brought to this to control anything, but the flow of information to our president so that he can make the best decisions. Its always, always, always focused on protecting america and advancing americas economic development, jobs for america, safety for americans, and with that ill let you go. David so, mike, do you buy that . I think, david, its very, very hard to control the flow of information when the informations made up by the media. So, whether it be the nuclear arsenal, or the russians, or that or that, you know, fake news is not something that kelly is going to be able to prevent and i dont buy it its hurt trump at all. Hes put out a very good frame work for tax cuts, a good frame work for health care and as steve pointed out, congress hasnt got at the point the job done. David bruce, i saw you shake your he head when mike was speaking. And some of these leaks are from those who dont have enough work to do. But listen, theyve saved the taxpayers some money because its not fake news that secretary price was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars flying private jets around the country. David by the way, secretary price, who is know the there anymore, he lost his job because of that. Yeah, hasta la vista. Its the revolving door. When people leave you get leaks and some of the leaks could be heldover from people leaving and theyre not all bad for sure. David emack, the question is the management of the white house. Is the white house being managed well and is that affecting the growth agenda . I think that general kelly is doing a great job. I think that the white house has a problem with leaks. I think its the press establishments job to do its job. I dont agree about the attacks about fake news, theyre quoting nine sources at a time. Ill say this, larry connors, its striking that nbc would not report ronan farrows wellsourced about Harvey Weinstein and thats something to talk about. I think its distraction when you have to have the white house chief of staff come out and talk about the leaks. Its a distraction away from the growth agenda. David although a lot of people said they were glad to to see him, but the fact that he looked in command and reasserted his commitment to the Trump Administration and we should mention, by the way, it hasnt hurt the markets which are booming. The gdp had a great growth spurt as we saw in the last quarter, that may change because of the hurricanes. And Consumer Confidence are at record highs. Go ahead. That all makes me happy and i hope it continues that way and i think its a sure way to ensure it does is to make sure that we get massive tax reform. I worry that leaks are a problem. This is a president that cant stay focused to get his agenda done and hes consumed by what other people are saying about him in a way thats not good. We have to get this tax reform done and im worried that this will take the white house completely off track. David but, steve, thats not what general kelly said on thursday. He said that the president is very focused on the growth agenda, that he is trying his best to get the job done and that general kelly himself has kind of rearranged the white house to make sure he can concentrate on this. Absolutely. This week he went to pennsylvania to promote tax cuts and the real problem, david, is congress. Theyre dragging their feet, not coming up with legislation, the white house staff and certainly Treasury Department under secretary mnuchin are pushing these tax changes. If congress could get off its duff and work an eighthour day instead of a twohour day. David it seems this congress is always on vacation. Its kind of easy to say its all congresss fault. On the other hand, you think of how theyve failed time and again to get together, just the republican block alone. Yeah, no, i think thats a great point and the president , you know, he was criticized for not being focused and all of that sort of stuff when he was running for president. That was one of the reasons why so many people, oh, hes not going to win and thats bogus. Hes laser focused. Look at his executive orders for things like deregulation in the energy industry. Thats been tremendous. Every single thing he could do, even now what hes doing with health care, hes focused on actually giving people what they want to the extent that he can without congress doing anything. David john, i heard you scoff a little when mike was talking about his focus, but you cannot deny what he has done with regard to deregulating the economy, getting some of these regulations out is as good for a lot of companies as a tax cut. Absolutely. Thats one of the unsung successes of his administration, 16 regulations repealed for every one brought forward. I would say i would love massive tax cuts, no one would love it, other than steve moore than i would, but the simple truth is these are not massive tax cuts. My argument, even if they dont get them through, its not going to mean much. Gridlock alongside deregulation is a growth agenda. David emack. I think anybody would love a tax cut, any kind of a tax cut right now. Its interesting how paul ryan is saying were going to work through christmas to get the tax cuts done when they took the august recess. I would say this is sabrina is right, this is about messaging. When the president comes out and says im going to sic the sec for fake news, getting his message forward, and the others is distraction. The messaging, one role that the white house has to play here, talking to the public, explaining that a tax cut isnt just more money in your bank account, its about more freedom. This is his one and should be his one and single role right now. It shouldnt be talking about fake news or defending leaks. It should be talking about how hes going to bring more freedom to the american public. If he does that well see tax cuts and better and a stronger nation. David we have to leave it at that. The president says his brand new executive order is going to be Cutting Health premiums by creating more competition, but will it work . Well debate it next. Ron somethings going on at schwab. Oh really . Thank you clients . Well jd power did just rank them highest in Investor Satisfaction with full Service Brokerage firms. Again. And online equity trades are only 4. 95. I mean you cant have low cost and be full service. Its impossible. Its like having your cake and eating it too. Ask your broker if they offer awardwinning full service and low costs. How am i going to explain this . If you dont like their answer, ask again at schwab. Schwab, a modern approach to wealth management. Live from americas news headquarters in washington, good morning to you, im leland vittert. Those devastating wildfires in Northern California continue to rage with the number of dead rising as well, 32 people now confirmed dead, making this the deadliest week of wildfires in state history and hundreds are still missing. Forecasters say gusty winds this weekend could fan the flames once again. And overseas, a massive truck bomb exploding in mogadishu, the capital of somalia. At least 20 people are dead in what residents there are calling the most powerful blast theyve heard in years. The bomb apparently targeting a hotel. No claim of responsibility yet, but suspicions pointing toward the radical Islamic Group alshabaab thats aligned with alqaeda. Im leland vittert. A lot more at the top of the hour. Now back to forbes on fox. I will sign an executive order taking the first steps to providing millions of americans with obamacare relief. It directs the department of health and human services, the treasury and the department of labor to take action to increase competition, increase choice, and increase access to lower priced, High Quality Health Care options. David President Trump promising his new Health Care Executive order will increase competition and decrease premiums. Steve, you say hes on the right track. How ask going to work . What its going to do is allow flexibility in the individual market. The individual market for Health Insurance has been decimated by obamacare. This allows shortterm policies that are affordable that can give you coverage shortterm, which obama did away with. Having more National Competition across state lines is a good thing. So hes taking steps to revive a market that needs to be revived if were truly to have patientcontrolled health care. David by the way, emack, a lot of charge companies have been doing this, having clinics in their own companies, sisco, for example. Lets look on the screen at some of the details of the health care, increased choices beyond obamacare plan, competition, joining together across state lines. But what about those folks, emack, who are stuck right now in the Obamacare Exchanges . Thats the key question, how do you take care of those with preexisting conditions. Striking statistic, 5 of the population are responsible for 50 of the health costs and about the poor and Senior Citizens and the state associations for businesses who combine to buy insurance across state lines and thats an importa important. And they can go to states that have lax rule and they dont have to cover preexisting conditions. Thats an issue. David it sounds like hes trying to infuse into obamacare the free market, is that possible . I think this is a strategy that conservatives ought to pursue more of. To be clear, he hasnt done anything, but asked regulatory agencies to sort of go back and review things and figure out a better way. How can we deregulate some of obamacare. There are a few steps between now and a free market. Hes definitely moving in the right direction, pulling government out of the business of health care which will drive up choice and lower costs. David and bruce, i think i found something in what he did that you might approve of. He is stopping on friday he announced hell pull back to subsidies to private insurance company, the first part of the tweet you probably wont like. Obamacare is imploding and dems should call me to fix. Youre not in favorite of corporate welfare, are you . No, im definitely not. Hes got it wrong. The subsidies are a passthrough and go directly to the patients and to the Insurance Companies. David bruce, bruce, you know you really dont think that any is being skimmed off for the Insurance Companies . Listen, listen, the Insurance Companies, if they dont have the subsidies, theyre going to get rate increases of 25 . They dont really i mean, this is not something that hurts the Insurance Companies. It hurts the patients. And on these Association Health plans and the state lines thing, this has been it didnt work. David by the way, its hurting the Insurance Companies whose stock went down as soon as it was announced on friday. Take a look at what the top five Insurance Companies, the profit they made in the first half. This is just five Insurance Companies, and its just the first half of the year. They made 10. 3 billion, this is the worst kind of corporate welfare, first they get my money in premiums and then get my tax money. David, now we know why they helped coauthor obamacare, theres the proof right there. David exactly, exactly. And i mean, the president is on to something, pulling back on the subsidies, mike, right . It comes down to more choice. What you have are people like bruce who Want Health Care to be determined by a handful of elite people in washington d. C. And its all with taxpayer money and others who are trying to get more choice and more freedom. I think that the way to go is more choice and more freedom, and it always gives a better product. David john, i know its still a Health Care System encumbered by a huge amount of government, but is this a step in the right direction . Oh, yeah, in the world we live in, its a step in the right direction. Lets the Insurance Companies not suffering the package compete. I love that. The shame is that were talking about this and every other industry not encumbered by government prices are falling. Health care is expensive precisely because washington has policy regarding it. David steve, you know what i love about this . It does point out for point to private companies, the private sect sector, and the market is always coming up with solutions better than whats come up inside the beltway. Private companies are already doing a lot of this stuff, arent they . Theyre trying to within the constraints of the crazy Health Care System where the patient is not in charge and its third party. Hospitals, for example, know that their revenues depend not on satisfying the patient, but how well they negotiate with Large Companies and large insurers and with the government. So the more they can open this market up, allowing companies to offer policies that meet our needs, i, for example, did not need pregnancy services, but im forced to buy it, ridiculous. David well leave it at that. For those who didnt know, the way. laughter the cashin in gang getting ready to roll at the bottom of the hour. Trish, what have you got. Players and owners meeting on the National Anthem fiasco, is the free market going to decide who wins this fight. And not all democrats are giving back the money they got from disgraced hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Should they . The bottom of the hour. David we will be watching. First, a soda tax going flat in one democratcontrolled county. And some say that could spark a tax revolt all over the country. Well explain, coming up next. I was a good soldier. I had purpose and i loved it. You never told me you were a hero. You are my hammer out there. Dont let these young guys see you fold. Im only human i make mistakes get down im only human its all it takes dont put the blame on me thank you for looking after my son. Were brothers. We look after each other. Thank you for your service.

Consumers and retailers in one big city beating down an unpopular soda tax ah, dinner. Throughout history, the one meal when we come together, break bread, share our day and connect as a family. [ bloop, clicking ] and connect, as a family. Just, uh one second voice guy. [ bloop ] huh . Hey . I paused it. Bam, family time. So how is everyone . Find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. Well, a taxpayer revolt in americas heartland may be showing what frustrated taxpayers should be doing all over our land, just two months after imposing a tax on sweetened beverages. Outrage from consumers and retailers and taxpayers forcing chicagos cook county Board Members to repeal it this week. Emack, youre saying this is a great message for americans that they can fight taxes on their own without worrying about those. Exactly, its a lower and middle income guys that said, hey, wait a second. We dont need a soda tax to tell us that sugar is bad for us. Theyre the ones who fought back and they saw that this soda tax is filling government budget holes blown open by spending. David lets start to somebody in chicago, bruce. I understand your family is divided on this point . Yes, i have a teenage daughter who is not with me on this issue, but thats okay. She likes pop. So i would say, lets not get too excited here. The deciding vote was john daley, the former mayors brother, and he was pressured, im sure by the business community. So what you have to do is wait six to 12 months to see which county commissioners have a new driveway or pool in the back yard. David its chicago, ive got to admit that. Like, you look at signs people were putting in their store windows, these are mom and pop stores saying, hey, look, youre paying more not because of us, but because of the politicians. This to me is a symbol, david, that america is so overregulated, so overtaxed and, yeah, this is just soda, but its spread through our economy and its one of the reasons why our economy has been growing so slowly. David john, i understand the next group im going to quote has a vested interest in this, but the American Beverage Association says people are catching on to what these taxes are. Theyre money grabs, they are telling their elected officials theres a better way that doesnt hurt working people, right . Every dollar that goes to governments at all level gives them more control over the economy, so good for the cook county voters, get rid of the taxes. David and sabrina, good for americans taking in their own hands. I understand there were lobby iisti iist lobbyists and politicians, but in was a downhome movement. Im glad for the people out there. The sin taxes they do nothing to change behaviors. This is about padding the coffers of government and taking away freedoms. If this had to do with reducing sugar they wouldnt and reducing obesity, they wouldnt have included also flavored waters and juices. This is all such baloney. David and to steves point, there were Political Forces against the tax that probably had an influence, but there were Political Forces for it, and former new york city mayor bloomberg, a multibillionaire spent 10 million in favor of the tax because hes against soft drinks and he lost. I kind of like that. Well, david, the Real Health Threat to america is not so much sugar as it is the sweet tooth of politicians for more of our money. So, good for the voters of chicago. [laughter] all right. And john tamny, isnt it nice to know that people can make up their minds, that they dont need a nanny state to make it up for them. Its a beautiful thing. Thats what we were founded on. David a beautiful thing, indeed. Forbes out with the new list of companies on the planet, and now revealing which ones will make you the most money on the planet.
