service in russia. but i retired at that time when we were married. pete: so just one quick question. the president has been accused of colluding with the russians. briefly what would you say to that? i think people don t have it s like a fairy tale but it s weird like a nightmare much more. pete: fairy tale is a good way to put it not a lot of evidence put forth on that. thank you very much. we only a limited amount of time left. scott, you said borders are pretty important to you? we need secure borders. it s what keeps us safe and i believe president trump is going to do what he says. we need to get things done. it s been a lot of our talk and tax dollars just sitting there and spinning our wheels. pete: who do you blame for that? is it congress? i believe it is congress. i believe they need to get behind president trump and get things done. pete: a lot of folks feel trump needs to get things done. scott is also a barber.
for keeping it, that s the legal argument against it. i m not saying i agree with it. they also say this judge orrick congress divest spending power not in the president. give you legal argument. not the logic. if you don t adhere to the law. that s the only thing the attorney general can do. making progress even with democratic mayors about cracking down on those living illegally amongst them and contacting them. ainsley: bottom line is, just like you heard in the montage at the beginning of the show the lady was so excited and so hopeful when the president was elected and now she feels so stifled. all these executive orders are getting blocked by liberal judges. many people feel like they are not being heard. steve: the way it works it s blocked right now and goes up the court system. where s it going to land? we will keep you posted. 6:10 here in new york city. jacque ibañez joining us today with a road trip for the senate. good morning. jack jack good morning to everyone at home
then president blank who follows president trump could change the law retroactively. we don t have procedures in that in america. we change the law going forward. steve: look at the politics of the judge. no question about that. is he a an appointee as you would expect. steve: absolutely. let s not talk about his politics talk about the politics for the president. when the average person watching this morning sees this news, this revs up the president s base look why told you the court system was out to get trump. the president knows and you heard heard it from sean spicer how to relay this to the base. i did my thing. i did what i promised to do. it s these judges that are stopping me. i happen to think the judge did the right thing but the victory for the sanctuary cities and the set back for the trump administration is short-lived. brian: let s talk about tax reform. the president is going to be signing an executive order framing out tax reform without going to congress right no
tax rate is very, very popular. there will be no problem with it flying. here s where the problem will come. the president, i believe, is going to announce a goal, a goal. steve: idea. three tiered individual taxes. i don t know what they are. but the top ones are going down 39 to 31. it s terrific. ainsley: if you pay taxes that s going to benefit you? correct. the problem is there are members of congress both sides of the aisle believe when you reduce taxes you reduce revenue you have to reduce spending, otherwise you are just going to be borrowing more. president trump said i don t care about borrowing more. i think if i reduce taxes, more people will get jobs, businesses will have more money to spend. the more people will work, more people will pay taxes by reducing the rate, we ll end up collecting more in revenue. he is going to have to persuade some reluctant people that that theory makes sense. brian: including republicans. including republicans. i think he can do it. i h
gridlock happening in congress where the republicans need to come together and president trump is the leader of the party. steve: real quickly, when it comes to there have been a number of white house leaks, you give him a c. why is that? well, i have to tell you very disappointed on the white house leaks. reason being is when the story becomes about the process. when it comes about the infighting in the white house you lose focus on the white house agenda. tax reform and healthcare reform. steve: overall grade you give president trump in first 100 days? a minus. very strong on foreign policy. i think he has shown very much the sense of strength of american leadership abroad that we are going to be tough and i think that really works and have you seen these presidents and foreign ministers very impressed with the meeting with the presidents and chinese president for instance. very focused on economic security. on border security on economic security creating jobs number one. tax re
