Morning Glory America it's here you are thank you so much for listening to the year which. Will be a big day on Wall Street Apple reports earnings today and I have just been sitting back and watching the most amazing tech rally ever and the reason is very simple Donald Trump if he gets one thing that is going to cut the corporate tax rate the United States gets one thing done he is going to make sure that the corporate tax rate in the United States gets get slashed to 15 or 20 percent and that trillions of dollars overseas makes it way back to us. And and with that kind of energy Amazon Google and Apple are going to go crazy and if I were the president if I the deal maker I wrote this in my book The 4th Way I'm finishing up by tomorrow the rewrite for the paperback I go to all of them and I say I'm going to do this for you but you're going to place your next major campus in any of the following Pennsylvania Ohio Michigan Wisconsin Iowa you are going to bring the tech boom to the upper industrial Midwest the way that Google did 10 Arbor and we are going to create centers of technological innovation in the upper industrial Midwest where there is housing galore and water galore and everything galore and that is what you're going to get in exchange for a 20 percent or 15 percent or even We're talking about a window repatriation window of 10 percent and I think that is going to be as big when and as a result people are factoring that into the market and we have got incredible things going on there which means of course that interest rates are going to go up which is why you need to go to Sierra Pacific Today AAA AAA to leaven 72 they are the great sponsor of the show they bring in the premarket report in the last hour but I just take this moment to tell you triple or triple at 1172 if you're a senior out there and you're driving around you need to go get your reverse mortgage from Sierra Pacific AAA AAA 1172 more on that in a 2nd joined now by Michael Shear who kept his dangling Mike or extra cup of coffee this morning what was that sorry the phone didn't ring. Well there I'm glad I'm on you know I did but you know I can tap dance with the best of them and I was able to do the corporate tax cut thing there but if it got another minute I would have been a real trouble Michael Shear is does the White House have the votes to get a health care bill out of the house. They don't know yet they do not know yet and I think what you have is that sort of bucket you have Republicans who are opposed that they don't have that seems to be hovering right around 18 or 19 you have a bunch that are sort of undecided and then you have a bunch we just we just don't know who's sort of say they're leaning against it or beginning in one direction or another and I think. You know it's sort of hard to see when you add up those Republican how they get there at least in the next couple of days it's really hard to see how they get there now Mike I've been saying to people this Obamacare has become freedom caucus care because they knocked the train off the tracks and now they're trying to get it you know crane out and put it back on the tracks and they lost Charlie Dent so it can be Charlie Dent care and freedom caucus care at the same time this could destroy the Republican majority in 2018 is there any sense of political urgency here where they look up and say on the matter issue that if they don't deliver on this they have blown up their caucus majority because John Boehner sat in this studio in 2006 between cigarette breaks and golf and swore to me that the Republicans could not lose their House majority because a reduced rate thing and they lost their House majority because of the Iraq the same thing can happen with Obamacare do they not get that. Well I think the problem with the question is that they didn't sort of monolithic they right the the members of the Freedom Caucus are scared of losing their own seats if it goes one direction but the moderate Republicans are scared of losing their seats if it goes the other direction so there's no it's not it's not as easy for a party that is I feel logically you know divided it's it can't answer that question with one answer because if if the bill becomes conservative and tries to sort of hear those on the far right it really raises the question about the left or the left of the party so that's the problem well if you take the bill as it currently exists with the freedom caucus amendments and the opt outs and the conservative option and you hosed down Medicaid with some money which is the way to fix it for the Liberals Charlie Danton and then you take people like Ed Ruscha who actually isn't a logical and cares about foreign affairs but he's an undecided I've known Ed forever and it's going to get primaried if you don't vote for this bill there are Tea Party people in his district they will primary him if he does not vote for this bill they just have to give Charlie Dent some money and send it over to the Senate and see what comes back I just don't understand why if the house is on fire you don't you know go to the next door and give it to the Senate put out your own fire and went to what the Senate sent back I just don't understand how come they just don't want to move it off their their table and move it over there. Well I think I think I think the majority of them do want to do that I mean I think I think the ideal thing for a lot of them maybe not every single one but if they if they can get it away from the house they feel like the heat the immediate heat is off the house then look at that it's a complicated dynamic in the Senate as well you know that it's not so clear a whether something even could emerge and if it does the merge whether that thing whatever it is you know I mean he will return to the house that point then when when whatever the Senate passes comes back and it has to be reconciled I mean so you know this is a long game but I think you're right that in for many people and many Republicans in the house the best thing they can do is just get it off the plate now let me turn for a moment to the to the question of this on the bus I just had Senator cotton on and he still reviewing it but it does have a lot of military spending and it breaks the one for one principle not you don't have to do it dollar of domestic So that's a big win on the other hand it doesn't hurt and p.r. N.e.m.a. Or Planned Parenthood and cottons the or is it's a 4 month spending bill we will fight the big battles down the road is this thing going to pass without a burp. I think so I mean I think I think it probably means look I'm a White House supporter not a Hill reporter so I'm not an expert on all of the vote counting here but my my sense is that there's no. There's no appetite on any on either end of it and you have to blow up something that could lead to shutdowns and all sorts of political nightmares over as you say a 4 month spending right like this even if you if you have to regardless of which side you're on if you have to swallow something right you're a conservative you have to swallow the Planned Parenthood funding you're a liberal or a moderate you have to swallow some of the. Some of the defense increases you're only doing it for a few months you know this is not the sense I get from the from the hill and my house is that this is not the place to make the big stand right think it I think it will go let's go to White House staff the above the law blog suggests that there will be a big announcement with a lot of circuit court nominees very very soon way too late in my opinion but sooner is better than Never What do you hear Michael Shear. So I don't I don't know for sure when that will happen it's been hearing for a while that you know the administration is trying to increase the speed at which they get all sorts of nominations finally out there so that there can be some action and I think the courts are a big important part of this I think they the administration realize that the success with Gorsuch that they had. You know is is a particular fan favorite for a lot of their base and I think that. You know conservatives have been frustrated for the last 8 years that President Obama has been. You know kind of regularly. You know putting people that are his ideological you know kind of bedfellows on the court and this is the opportunity for the Conservatives yet now and then I go over the state I read a story yesterday Rex Tillerson said he's good with the State Department till 2018 that that's not what I worked for I was told Rick Grenell was going to be the ambassador to NATO and by the way I think if you pull back you're only l.g. Bt appointment period you're asking for and then justifiably are going to get knocked by people who said hey green I was going to be a path breaking appointment and they've frozen all embassador Oriel think what do you hear about this well what in the world is going on. Look I think the State Department is the one real. Kind of history in this administration you know for weeks and weeks and weeks there were reports that it was essentially an empty building you know essentially empty of any political appointee you know Rex Tillerson was supposed to be the sort of star of the cabinet. And so far you've got you know a State Department it's largely still stocked with career people and you see and I think that's. You know and much of the foreign policy kind of influence and power hasn't been coming out of the out of Foggy Bottom and so that's you know something has to change if Rex Tillerson wants to move to the forefront of the cabinet a better bike my question is for example let's just use Cornell is Grinnell being held up by state or by the White House who is doing the holding up here I don't know I don't have reporting on that that's not you know that's not something that I have reported arteries I'm not sure where the hold up it's a it's a mess it's the State Department is the big mess Pentagon the 2nd biggest mess you know is that the biggest the best stand up is Jeff Sessions these these actually executed the exact cause the fact he's closest to the president of all the appointments. It might be but it also it also made it just that it has you know more about them and have attended or at. That sort of plan or what but by what you've got there are probably 2 of my go share bomb on Twitter at sheer. Thank you Mike I'll be right back America 10521234 connection to your show.

Welcome back to America rubber Coffee is my guest is the man who knows all sees all I think sometimes he has a tent up running from every office in the White House down to the little Kabul cubby in the White House basement Robert how are you my friend great to join you tell me if you can if we're going get some judge announcement this week it's been reported at the blog above the law and put. Let it go that there's going to be a big George w. Bush like roll out of a dozen or so Circuit Court appointments do you hear that is happening I'm hearing that but I haven't heard a definitive word on the date but I know that and it is ready to start moving on some of these appointments one of those could be a judge Justice will it of Texas but there is evidently according to above the law and knockdown drag out for the the 2 spaces open on the 5th Circuit What do you hear about they would be crazy not to nominate well it well I'm not the one to opine on judicial nominees but will it has created somewhat of a large profile nationally is respected by Senator Cruz and other conservatives inside the that it also has a presence on social media in terms of communicating his legal ideas is seen favorably by many on the great and it would it would sort of cement Trump as an out of the box thinker and not afraid of New Media I just works on every level I hope that happens now let me talk to you about the Department of State I got a call last night and this that did not get called by record Grinnell's a friend of mine said I'm not putting wreck on the line but by someone concerned that Rex Tillerson has said that he's going to keep state run by the professionals for all of 2017 that puts on ice ambassadors like Rick and Al were now who were supposed to go to NATO and a whole bunch of other stuff what is going on Robert Costa. Chillers than I'm told by my sources wants to assert control and authority was in Foggy Bottom he wanted to be his department of course he serves at the pleasure of the president but as a former executive of Exxon Mobil he is someone who is not always love having direction from different political players or a policy players within the administration and he is starting to reemerge after a quiet 1st few months of a new player in this administration who is pretty headstrong let me ask is the in any way anti l g b t because Rick Grinnell was going to be the high profile g.b.t. Appointment for the administration I have not heard that at all I know Goodell is close to Steve Bannon and others within the White House so it's going to be a test for the White House to see if they can get some of their allies like right now inside of the State Department push back of Tillerson and what has happened to John Bolton You know I haven't talked to the ambassador in probably a month for a while he was going back and forth to the White House on ice because of Tillerson again or in other words are all the the conservatives get put in the refrigerator because that's always what happens at the state. It's a fair question Bolton has had a positive relationship with the president I'm told in terms of having conversations with him at Mar a Lago during the transition during his presidency but Bolten is such a high profile commentator he's someone who could come in and in a big role wouldn't likely take a smaller role he's already been u.n. Ambassador. Maybe deputy secretary of state that was mold at one point according to a source even secretary of state so when the trouble ministration seems to want to keep close in case the big job comes open at some point but it doesn't seem like any of the women is imminent you know it just confuses me Robert yet someone like Ambassador Pierre Prosper is the only African-American who is on the short list to go and this is the least diverse group of people does trump not worry about that it doesn't seem so I haven't heard a lot of clamoring to make sure the cabinet or the administration are more diverse on some of these national security and foreign policy posts All right let me turn to the success story there are 2 Jeff Sessions has stood up justice and it's it's how many Now they haven't all been confirmed but the attorney general obviously arrived with a plan and he's executing it is in the course of doing that is he gaining 1st among equals status with the president among his cabinet. He's always had that kind of status going back to his work in the campaign I think Sessions' has been doing a lot of executing the president's vision with executive authority but there has been some stumbles not necessarily caused by the attorney general but when you look at this spending bill on Capitol Hill it doesn't have on the funding for the wall if any has some border security funding and then he some of the initiatives that she wants to do including building the wall are not moving along at the pace some trump loyalist would like to see at the same time they know sessions as a trusted hand and he is a populist in the way that some other cabinet members are not I just talked with Senator cotton about the the bus and he expressed 1st of all it's only 4 months Secondly it does good things for the military it breaks the principle of $1.00 of military spending for a dollar domestic spending it gives the military a 2 percent raise it stops the cut backs of the Army Air Corps worst Marine Corps Navy he has a lot to like in it and he understands we didn't find any symbolic battles but he agrees with me and I'm wondering if your take is on this they give a 1000000000 and a half to border security that allows Donald Trump to identify you know some of those stretches of miles where they laid up traffic barriers as little concrete barriers you can step over he can go to that area and turn those into double sided fences with the road between them and point to the fact you may not call it a wall but it becomes a genuine barrier is that the plan. That is the plan it seems to move incrementally along those lines it's really fascinating due to the Republicans in Congress control both chambers controlled the White House they're still struggling to find consensus about how to move or on implementing the president's vision and policy on immigration on the border on trade health care on infrastructure on taxes there's a lot of the moving part and there's not a little synchronized agenda right now on Capitol Hill Now Robert I saw you on Morning Joe this morning but I couldn't listen because I was on the air at the same time and I found the 100 day assessments generally to be overly critical of Trump and under appreciative of his accomplishments of course everyone says course of course of course that they don't understand the c.r.a. But mostly to me I have for I have an acronym and thought an acronym it China Dhaka NAFTA NATO and so that the 3 A's in the out China. NAFTA and NATO he's very flexible and on those 4 things he's been flexible to good result but I don't see our friends on the m.s.m. Side panning attention to this do you. And well he doesn't have a coherent ideology and back yet. Mean that foreign policy I mean I think when you look at these comments he's making about some of these dictators my sources inside the White House they think he's signaling a willingness to deal on certain front to make transactions just like he has been with the freedom Caucus and others on domestic policy you know the Philippines president is an interesting case I looked into him last I don't know much about the Philippines I know it's 7000 islands incredibly difficult place and there have been 3500 ledged extrajudicial executions perhaps some of them by the police and that he has not been the world's greatest civil libertarian he was democratically elected bell and it was not a dictator in the sense of being an l.c.c. Who came to power via extrajudicial or extra democratic means and he goes to all the summits I do think there is this hyper criticism of him and I can even go to the Andrew Jackson comment Robert Costa and John Meacham his book American ally and made it very clear that Andrew Jackson said this a session is to hell with you I will March in and take over South Carolina if you attempt it's just the he didn't believe in the elephant cation and may have believed he was a slave holder we get that but I just think there and I have no trump apologist op column out when he does something stupid like calling a judge so called but but this 100 day cycle left me thinking he's never going to get a fair shake from the media. Well I think on the Andrew Jackson point the president may have been alluding to the nullification question but then Jackson's most famous for the war of 8012 as we go into detail we don't need to right now not the civil war and I think that was certainly a stumble by the president just objectively speaking you but I think the 100 days this is a Republican Congress that has not figured out this president the president hasn't figured out the Republican Congress yes they've done course it yes they've done executive authority I think even White House officials he would privately acknowledge that they're not accomplishing what they think they should be when it comes to legislation that they're still searching for votes on health care tax reform or some wants all that the piece of paper infrastructure hasn't even begun the Democrats are dug in looking ahead 22002020 So yes the president likes to say he's done a lot but you have to say he's been confronted day in day out would say by the media and his opponent he's also been confronted by Republicans who aren't always going along with your head on the on the under Jackson thing obviously he lives long before the Civil War I'm just saying if President Obama had made some off the cuff thing like that like 57 states we wouldn't be hearing about it for all 247 because it is it's obviously a mistake it's obviously an elegantly delivered as many of his comments are but it is not without an intellectual basis for arguing about the nullification crisis of 1833 and a he may have been briefed on it at some point by banner somebody else got a bollix that I just think we don't focus on the overall picture that he does not get any breathing room from the media Robert let's talk about this health care bill because if they can move this the narrative changes if they get this out of the house things begin to click they get some space on tax reform what are the what are the odds what do they say. It's hard to say I mean I think they're just trying to find some light right now on health care to try to get something done in the house no one is going to be a men's hurdles in the Senate even from Republicans I think what the president he's known as I'm told is when get some wins get something on the board even if it faces challenges in the Senate get something done and that what you know the our our the judicial nominees are now all this other personnel are wins I don't understand why they don't limit personnel but Robert cost as always you've got your finger on the pulse How did the washer we can review go this week the country. They want to get you comfortable but the real honor to do it and a lot of fun well I mean it takes a while right and then before long you'll be one of those old pros but it's like an n.f.l.

Wow what a way to go Jim seeing pitch Colonel Bruce Hampton died on stage during the final moments of a benefit concert honoring his 70th birthday at the box of the air in Atlanta last night. Hampton passed with nearly entire all star lineup of Hampton 70 fell abrasion of Colonel Bruce Hampton throwing him about as they turn on your lovelight but now he was nearing inclusion that's very sad but on the other hand if you're a rock n roller What a way to go James what do you think about that but The Washington Post. Well you did 70 years old you're one of them be you're like jammed all the way through it you go up plan the last song at a. Big gala and honor of you that's something that I got to question for you about the White House number one Politico has reported the wonderful blog above the law terrific has run down all the circuit court judges there are 1000 vacancies where the hell are these judges So I mean if it were the nominee. They keep saying they're coming they're coming they're coming and we're waiting we're waiting on a lot of the u.s. Attorneys you know it's. Kind of remarkable that just hasn't been a priority from the administration you know the president got his biggest props for Gorsuch he made everybody happy if he came out with 19 you know Don Don will it from Texas the justice all the ones that would Don's dogs draws up in Minnesota the ones that we know the superstars that the right would be cheering him it would over it would overshadow everything I wonder if they don't understand the Megatron upside of doing this. I think Trump might not understand that to be honest with you you know I I I'm not sure he understands you know I think he you know the Supreme Court played well with the base I do I'm not sure he fully grasped that I mean yesterday talking about an end to the. News and he described him as a hardcore libertarian and you know a lot of libertarians kind of bristled at that because they don't see him as one of them and I think in some ways that reflect. Is didn't come out of the conservative movement is not a lifelong Republican I don't think you understand what motivates. The grassroots activist the way that someone who really came of age as a Reagan movement conservative would you know I think about Ryan's Priebus who is a terrific chief of staff in my view but he but he's not a judicial conservative it's not something that animates him I think of Kellyanne Conway it's not her wheel house it's not Steve Benz wheel house I don't think they understand the potential upside of a sweeping set of appointments there but now let's talk about downside the State Department I got a call last night from someone to tell me tell us since not going to appoint anyone until 19 and that Rick Grinnell been put on I doubt that's the highest level al g.b.t. Appointment that is a self-inflicted wound. Immense proportions What are they thinking yeah I've been trying to figure out what's going on at the State Department and serve our sick apartment reporters. It's been weird I mean last week we learned that the killer Some people were trying to get control of Nikki Haley because they demanded that she start running everything she's going to say by you know Hillary some people 1st for approval because they were unhappy that she was out there you know making foreign policy our own so I'm I'm unclear on what players I think he's trying to assert himself but on the other hand you know from all accounts taking active steps to. All of 31 you know cutting his budget and reducing the staff at the State Department which isn't necessarily a conservative point of view a bad thing but but I don't really get his play there and I think it's someone who again he's not from the conservative movement he's not a lifelong kind of Republican activist type he he's also never worked in government I think he does he understand that the downside of getting an anti l.g.b. Tea reputation that hurt Mitt Romney a lot when they fired in 2012 because of right wing pressure from a friend Gela meant and that fringe element still out there but I can't imagine you know Donald Trump the least homophobic president ever I can't imagine Trump wants to be known as anti Algy Beaty. I can't imagine that either and I'm not I don't know enough about it I don't think it's an elegy t. . You know it's entitled to be key in the mist that would motivate that decision I think that it's purely you know intriguing thought he was Foggy Bottom and I you know I I don't think that there's any suggestion that it's motivated by discrimination at all oh no I did say that if. You take the only l.g.b. T. Senior level nominee he's also happens to be anti Putin and various stablish a Bolton guy and then you ice him the message comes through to that whole community that you just ice there guy it's just it's incredible to me and I just wonder whether or not the president this goes back to the judges it goes back the state if he doesn't need a movement conservative in the White House just to kind of read the signals for is there one in there Kellyanne Conway was supposed to be that but I don't know that she threw in the job I don't I don't I don't think she is I mean all right it's also just sort of that in some ways but I think that they're they're you know they have their hands full they're focused on other stuff I don't know I think I actually have been reading this week example of Bill Clinton bringing in David Gergen at almost this exact same moment we're going to be sort of a movement conservative but you know someone like you're going to come from the conservative movement really help from you know if you're on the what he needs and needs he really does someone just to say this is the way this reads and considering gentilman always on Twitter at James Coleman sorry that your 20 year by going to get anyone got in the draft jam and brown the natives I am not that I'm going to wear my coming back tomorrow and the next great.
