mcdowell. this is bulls and bears. joining us this week welcome, everybody. gary b, we know this. the dow is up more than 4% since the inauguration. the best 30 days for any president since fdr in 45. right, gary b? exactly, dagen. look, this is a president who has tapped into what the majority of america wants and why they voted for him. look, we have to remember. we re in this little media bubble. even here in fox news. the vast majority of america does not read the new york times. they don t read the new york post. they don t tune into the academy awards. they don t hear what meryl streep has to say. they re normal people. and now they voted for a president out there who says you know what? i m going to give you jobs. i m going to protect your
so that s absurd on the level. but what would happen if everyone did it? we would have to move to high royalty taxes that don t have the ability to collect income taxes because everyone tax outlaw, which hopefully won t happen here because it ruins your economy in some ways to move to that sort of system. dagen: gary b, talking about i m not going to pay for the wall. well, you know what? i don t like paying for shrimp on a treadmill but that s not my choice. is shrimp on a treadmill something that is available to you? dagen: yeah, we have video of it. there you go. boom. okay. we ll just leave it at that. look, it s kind of ironic because most of the people, you know, the whole trump resistance are on the left the left generally likes bigger government as john points out, the government would go broke. so they re kind of arguing against one of their main tenants that the government needs more and more revenue. second, i don t even see how most of the people are going to do this be
i actually think a majority of people might start to hate a lot of the things trump is doing. doesn t mean the stock market is going down because the very things those people do watch the academy awards are still good for the stock market. you have to admit it s not going to hurt your stocks. so you might be confident in your 401(k). you might still hate the policies and acknowledge it s good for earnings. dagen: gary b, i want to get you in on this just two days before president trump visited that boeing plant down in south carolina. there was 74% of boeing workers there that voted against unionizing and that will also help create more jobs. big picture about 100,000 jobs boeing helps in south carolina. well, you know, a few thoughts. first of all, union membership as we talked about a number of times on this show.
you don t just you want a free flow i don t know if it s legal or not. i m not a constitutional scholar. all i know is you want a free flow of labor and capitol between countries whenever possible, and it better be temporary because anything. dagen: unless, gary b, those individuals are bringing terrorism to american shores. i don t know what jonas is talking about. when there s an outbreak of e. coli in somebody s chicken, the manufacturer pulls all the chicken. they don t say send most of the chicken. we ll see what s going on. you bring up a important point. this is temporary. trump put this in place to figure out what we need to do. it s ant a permanent ban against iran forever. so i disagree with that. let s make the border safe. that s all anyone is looking for. and i tell you what they may be shouting it forever, and they re shouting it certainly louder than they were even back in 1979. that s where the terrorists
dagen: uns of thousands in iran shouting death to america and burning the american flag, and it happened just one day after a federal appeals court blocked the executive order. the administration says they will continue this legal fight but, gary b, iran was one of the seven countries covered by this order. you say it was a dangerous move to block it. exactly. the seven countries, by the way, that the obama administration came up with. yes, i think it s very dangerous. look, the job of the president, again, where you love him or loath him is to protect the safety of this country. he was elected. that s one of his main responsibilities. he used his judgment to put immigration bans in place that would protect us. the court is substituting their judgment over the president s. that s not their job. look, let s stipulate that the majority of people in iran one piece. that s great. but the majority of people at prison won t come out and
