about it and rarely do this he publicly say it. it s not a shocker he feels this way, he comes from the real estate business where higher rates are generally not a good thing. and they come if a good thing. does he put the fed in a weird position? do you worry about that? no, here is the problem. we did the tax cuts, the president and the administration did the tax cuts. it s not for apple, amazon it s for the little guy. when rates go up, borrowing costs are higher. the problem is if you re a business and you need to borrow to make payroll or buy vehicles, whatever you have to do. trump is worried and that s why he said in the interview and tweets different costs of things, because oil, all of these things, the drug companies, he doesn t want people end up having the tax cuts be a wash, whether it s the individuals, but it s really the businesses. neil: it might already be. and the trade threats alone are raising the cost of a lot. that s the concern of the fed this week because
greatly. every place they built that wall were san diego, el paso, every place they built that wall, it worked. illegal immigration dropped, drug trafficking dropped it s proven it s 100% effective so regardless of the cost, what cost do you put on protecting america and evidence of national security on the border. i think the wall is needed and it s proven and a lot of democrats voted for a wall a few years ago. this isn t common sense. this is anti-trump rhetoric and the left pushing their agenda. neil: i m wondering, i always look at the heart of the problem maybe even i m a business nerd here at fox, the economy. people come to this country for opportunity because they re certainly not finding it in mexico or central america, so they cross through central america, up through mexico, into the united states, because the opportunities are clearly here and by comparison who wouldn t do that. you could understand it, but i m wondering if there s something to be said now with the new
it s been so much top of mind from the media and attention to it. neil: not overly dwell on it. agreed, make the statement. but ron desantis makes an excellent point. the president s deeds, strengthening our economy, making it the strongest, vigorously growing economy. making us the number one oil producer in the world and putting money back in the military and that s what vladimir putin understand. neil: and the weaker words and actions are more important. neil: charles. the actions are, yesterday the department of defense allocated 200 million to ukraine for security purposes, so the actions certainly speak louder than the words. i m thinking when they meet again, when they have the press conference, first thing president trump should say to vladimir putin is that your mom wears combat boots and you move on from there. just joking.
trump conflated collusion and for far too long. and he could have a lot of your democratic friends have. you can t blame him for being a little agitated on that. he talks about russian interference and the 400 pound guy that might have done it. neil: and that was fake news. the guy is 350 pounds. [laughter] and doesn t care about it. neil: and make the point that be careful what you wish for on that front because that s absolutely. i don t think that the president s private conversations with any world leader should be the subject of scrutiny by the congress. neil: but it s the performance performance that sparked that comment. president trump is unique in our history. he is not a career politician, he s a businessman and he is accustomed to being fleet of foot and to adapting to changing circumstances, and indeed, you know, this week he recognized
all over it, every bit of it right now, because guess what? cavuto live starts right now. really, what did they say? democrats are demanding to know everything and they mean every little word the president said in private when he was meeting with vladimir putin. former clinton chief of staff leon ponetta is one of them. i think it s very difficult to go ahead with another meeting neil: why would that matter? well wait a minute. when bill clinton met with others in the past have met one on one, with soviet later the russian leaders, why should that be given to the world anyway especially those private conversations? neil, the president of the united states represents the people of our country and our
