Kevin kelly may be than 3 . Lets bring in private Wealth Management advisor cat. Your expectations for this and doesnt speak to the overall sound growth of the economy . At 257, we are modestly lower than that with what has happened with harvey in the short run, it could deter from the number perhaps the next quarter by as little as 2. 4 . Interestingly, you could actually see in addition to gdp as a result of replacing businesses, factories, homes. Often as horrible as these disasters are coming as the rebuilding and that begins immediately. You see a recovery effort and that is money that does pour into these regional economies. In terms of what is going on with harvey, weve had so much Refining Capacity, about one fifth down is now shut down largest in the country. We are to have exxon baytown and , second largest in the country shut down. Texas all the way to new jersey. Are you worried about that interesting Business Activity in the short run .

Dagen because of the demand side . Exactly. Where only 40 off the market has right now. A lot of people feel like markets are overvalued. Earnings are worth more in the low Interest Rate environment. What is your take on how the markets will perform Going Forward . I dont see any impact of regulatory changes for tax reform based in earnings estimates. Can people buy the market here . Can we break the alltime highs . A great question. All of our address is predicated on a customized Financial Plan which informs Asset Allocation and part of those are tactical changes. To get to your question, we are modestly reducing exposure here, stressed modestly in for a variety of reasons. Namely to your earlier point relations had 18 points for earnings, is solely and yet fairly valued. That said, a number of reasons to be constructed on the market if you look out over the course of the intermediate to longterm. Bonds people are the more overvalued. Dagen at the tenure at the 10 year yield a two part 13 as a sign of it overvalued, you wouldnt allocate more of assets in u. S. Treasuries. Not necessarily. We are being tactical survey of modestly reducing exposure. As far as redeploying money come i tell clients that often times return of your money.

More so one Small Businesses and the investor for that matter. Part of the rally was predicated on the hopes of deregulation and tax reform and to some extent the market has discounted all of this occurring. We think you will get tax reform perhaps not as large as we all hoped, perhaps not quickly as we all hoped, but its not a matter of days. Its a matter of when. In the 24 hour news cycle, what happens in the market, how do you manage client expect patient . Dagen thats a really good question, aaron. I had people ask me that a lot. The market did this. More and more i get those questions from individuals. Its not easy. Im tethered to my iphone in your news program. The fact of the matter is its my job to counsel people to look at things from a much wider lens and longer days. If we make decisions within the plan, and that at least goes out of market cycle and not a few months. We tend not to get environments like this. Dagen jason, thank you for being here.

Tested Missile Defense system off the coast of hawaii successfully shooting down a mediumrange Ballistic Missile. Joining us this morning as trump administration, chief of external affairs, former navy seal, all options are on the table, carl, what are your thoughts . With america we have been primarily focused on the hurricane. These are my personal opinions, i tell you, something has to be done here. The thing that people arent looking at is the fact that the olympics are heading 35 miles south of the dmz in the next couple of months, what are we going to do about that and is it going to be safe . Kevin they have been focused on sanctions and really chinese to come around and also push the north koreans to stop this provocation, what do you think the next best thing is to sanction the chinese banks and try to do an allout sanctions as much as possible or where can we go from here because they havent launched a missile over japan since 2009 and they are starting to escalate even further now. Here is the thing with china, interesting dynamic, economically that could do mutually destructive, think trade policies we have with them. I dont know that sanking chinese would be thing to do right. All options on the table. The first president weve had in a while who has been willing to say, we are not giving you a plan and all options are on the table. General mattis or secretary mattis right now has a Monumental Task on his hand on how to play this because its a very close regime, its one of the few ones in the world that we dont have intel inside to work off and find out where the targets are. Dagen wall street journal has editorial about the subject today, Nuclear Missiles over tokyo and how japan might respond, the wall street journal writes, japanese leaders have long resisted building their own Nuclear Arsenal but that could change if they conclude that america isnt reliable in a crisis, this prospect should alarm china which would face a regional rival, what do you say to that . I mean, this is quickly spiraling out of control and this is policies of past the past administration that fail today put this in check. People, ive heard the media blaming on President Trump and rhetoric, no, thats not it. This is a plan that was, you know, they failed america and the rest of the world quite frankly. Fail today really honestly put north korea in some sort of place where they couldnt achieve this and we just didnt do it, so now President Trump lands on his desk and if we have Nuclear Weapons aimed at each other over in the asian region, i mean, this is not good, when america drops off the stage as we did for the last eight years to become, step back, the world is not as safe place. Carl, good morning, embassador said that there are limited diplomatic efforts, do you see it that way . Yes, we do. We sanctioned them, a third of their economy on the exportimport side with coal and things like that going to china. It didnt work, the problem is the country so poor that people are eating bugs and frogs in the street, any sanctions that we put on them takes further resource asway from the the people and reengages to military complex, i cant see any other options other than militarily here. Carl, Kristin Haglund here, all of us continue to look at the north korea situation and say what more is it going to take, what is going on, but you know, im curious in light of the afghanistan speech which was great. Yeah, of course, in trying to secure and stabilize the middle east in that country in particular and for the people there that are struggling with very similar things like north korea, what is our true capacity as American Military to potentially handle wars or conflicts on two fronts, we havent really seen that since world war ii, what is the state of the military and in so far readiness if theres some kind of military option to be taken in north korea . Having served nine years in the military, the u. S. Soldiers are the most Lethal Weapon and we are always ready to answer the call. The issue is we have families too. The constant drum beat of history expanding areas of operation is taking its toll and we will need to risk i say any advice to secretary mattis, we will need to pick our conflicts essentially in the upcoming thing. That said, afghanistan, the president was right, just pulling out and creating the the power vacuum is very bad and we might have risk of fatigue in the force. The u. S. Military is anxious and willing to take any task from the executive branch. Dagen carl, speaking of the u. S. Military, something that i talked to general jack keane yesterday, talked about the storm of harvey and whats going on in texas and louisiana and in terms of the Recovery Efforts there, particularly your environment with america corp. 30,000 troops are ready to assist in addition, i think there are 12,000 just in the state of texas that have been at the ready and deployed. Yeah. And thank god and to be honestly because of a little bit of public profile i have National Guard troops reaching to me personally and saying what can we do many, we are on standby, just on the america corp. Front, right now we are telling people to hold in place, wait for the waters to recede. Theres Insurance Companies, hey, i have to get your Insurance Claim by september 1 or we are not going to cash in on it. Thats based on policy because most storms dont last this long. The flood waters dont stay long this long, we are working in all fronts, nobody should go in there at the direction local and federal authorities and the National Guard is going to be a massive help. In america corp. We have 300 people helping with the shelters , prepared to go whenever we let them go. Dagen with the Insurance Companies, are you calling them out, hey, representing the very people who have insurance with these companies to say unacceptable . Are you working the phones and putting pressure on them to do right by those people in these stormravaged area . Im not personally but its like if you get into a car accident, most require you 24, 48 hours to report it, same thing with these guys, they are not trying to screw people, what theyre trying to do is policy based on press storms where you were able to get back 72, 126 hours later. You cant do that in this storm, i would urge people to reach out at any avenues we have to say, hey, look, its going to take, two or three weeks for people to get back to properties. Dagen right, we encourage viewers whether problem big or small or individual to tweet us at mornings with maria and we will bring bring our power to bear, so to speak. Thank you, carl.

Dagen this is such a massive pr problem in terms of all the problems that its been grappling with. That was a huge issue.

Kevin that was critical of them. They didnt have a plan on how to change the culture and thats whats been pervasive throughout. Theyre even in a giant legal battle with alphabet over stealing trade secrets when it comes to autonomous driving. This we are tyking about bribing foreign officials. This is par for the course for the company. He has a huge task ahead of them and they need capital, they need to fund raise because they are burning so much cash. Dagen what about the competitors to uber, theres lyft but a number Ridesharing Services are really up. Juno. Kevin small competitors that are getting able together because they are able to raise a lot more capital in this environment. Lyft has even raised, we are seeing that the pricing is all comparable, its not cheaper. Uber is losing market share to the startups or the other competitors but its at what point is there going to be Inflection Point where uber actually has to cut in order to gain more market back.

You know, some flood waters have gone down in houston, some still going down but this one had been rising but i tell you, i just got a local resident here who came back to check his house and you said for the first time, you think youve seen a decrease, thats the first time . Thats the first time, i have been tracking it for 36 hours, it went up an inch an hour, inch and a half, maximum 2inches, i have been here all night. It fixed at about 11 00 and didnt change about 3 00 and at 4 00i started seeing it recede. Jeff really . You could tell the white on the pavement is dry. Jeff that would be the first time, they have been releasing out of the Barker Reservoir and when that happens thats what floods the neighborhood which could keep this going going for a long time. Huge rescues yesterday, we saw volunteer crew and numerous people, you didnt have to get rescued. No, no, very few in subdivision. Down at the end you saw boats and kayaks, most of the people in the subdivision is out. Its not comfortable living without power. Jeff you liked it apparently, dagen, on twitter, you guys are connected in some way. [laughter] dagen jeff, actually people this is not removing the focus from all the people who are impacted by the storm but a lot of people want to know how they can help at pet rescue organizations in the area, thats part of the search, rescue and Recovery Efforts down there. Jeff and this gets to be the tough part, i tell you, people came out with boats and this community responds. Everybody in houston has learn today help each other and the big reason is we are all in business, if you dont take care of customer, you wont do well. Jeff youre in the contracting business. You may have business. Yes, more than the like. Jeff it has been extraordinary, people helping people. Dagen it really is, jeff. As my father would always say, we dont have customers, we just have friends and you are really seeing that down in texas. They are coming out. Dagen jeff, thank you so much for all of your reporting, we will check back with you later. Tropical storm harvey has made landfall west of cameroon, louisiana, joining us now on the phone, former democratic governor Kathleen Blanco who led states during hurricane katrina. Well, dagen, first i want to congratulate so many of our own citizens, we call ourself the the cajun navy. Theres such a wide ranging area where people need to be helped and flooding is the most difficult thing to deal with, whether it comes after hurricane or comes after a heavy rain. It puts so many lives in danger. Governor, good morning, you were here in part of this and the wounds are still fresh from katrina and rita, what advice do you have for governor John Bell Edwards . Well, governor bell edwards is doing a fabulous plan, we we wrote our emergency plans after katrina to reflect on the most difficult level of devastation. So everything seems to be going along but that will not take away all the frustration that will come for all the people who have been affected. Once you finish with your rescue efforts and the waters settle down, theres lots and lots of difficulty ahead. We ended up with over 300,000 Housing Units being totally disabled or destroyed and that in itself becomes a major problem. Homeowners will someone will have to be working with the Banking Community because market holders will be be owing on houses that they cannot live in up to a year. Dagen youre right. Reports that some of the Insurance Companies expect people to file claims by september the first, and ultimately if these companies dont work with all those affected areas then it falls on lawmakers who put pressure on them and falls on the media too. Thats right, you have two problems here, we are talking about Homeowners Insurance coming into play, that will cover the wind damages that were incurred from the hurricane itself but it will not cover flood damages, so that defaults back to the federal Flood Insurance program. That program is key to many, many Recovery Efforts. It also its also startling, you will find that a huge percentage of people will not have Flood Insurance and if if their damage is strictly flooding and they dont have Flood Insurance now you have an even more critical problem. I do think that they are going to have to get extraordinary amounts of federal money, federal assistance, louisiana had to do that and in order to have a recovery. Its not people who will leave damaged properties behind in default and that will be able a price. Dagen governor after super storm sandy, more than a 50 billiondollar deal passed by congress that some lawmakers in the state of texas did not vote for. You start to get this fight out of washington about how quickly will people step up and really hep those in need because its the quite frankly the government that is also in need here not just the kindness of strangers in local areas. Kristin haglund has a question for you quickly. Hi, governor, a lot of people have been asking, a lot of questions on social media about schools and obviously we are right at the start of the school season, how is this affecting with your experience, how does this affect school children, right, both in public and private schools, perhaps arent flooded, universities going back to campus, what does disruption cause to children, where do they go . In louisiana families simply relocated wherever they relocated they enrolled their children into the local schools, of course, that puts extra pressure on schools in other places but accommodations were made, you have to realize that you the teaching workforce is also in disarray. Many of them will have lost their homes and its going to be a good while before all of that gets gets settled, but it is important to try to stabilize your children. Im a mother of six children myself and we never had to go through this, but i was watching and certainly empathizing with all the families from louisiana who did live through this experience and its very challenging, but the best thing that families can do is to help keep their children stabilized and putting them in school wherever you are is part of a good thing to do to keep that stability. Dagen governor, there are reports that port arthur, we are talking about port arthur, texas completely under water. Some officials saying that county resources cannot get to people because of the flooding there but the mayor says that they are coming, curious about your reaction to that because port arthur is right there on the border with louisiana and east like east texas on the gulf. Well, im sure that that they are extremely upset because this is a moving system, weve not seen this kind of activity from a hurricane before where it simply stalls out and then moves backwards and comes back in. Its just putting every kind of challenge one can imagine. Something else that people may experience is a failure of the of the basic infrastructure. Dagen exactly. Sewer and drainage, could be breaking some of the the system. Dagen governor, thank you, governor blanco, we will be right back its time for the biggest sale of the year with the new sleep number 360 smart bed.

Dagen President Trump turning back to his agenda, heading to missouri this afternoon to lay out his vision for a better tax system. The commander in chief will explain his plan to jumpstart the economy by reducing tax burden for both American Companies and workers. Joining us dan mitchell, Cato Institute analyst, senior fellow, dan, what are you expecting to hear from the president and are we going to get by congress . Going all the way back to the campaign, trump has just wanted a big tax cut, the center piece which is really good, much lower Corporate Tax rate but a lot of the other details, theyre just telling congress, look, get your you know what together, come do an agreement and there are some big fights, what are you going to do about Small Business taxes, what are you going to do about middleclass relief, revenue neutrality versus a tenyear tax cut, there are lots of things still to be hashed out and as far as i can tell, the white house says, you guys figure out something, you send us a bill and we will sign it. Dagen to the credit of mnuchin and gary cohn, they have been meeting with congressional leaders for months now and even gary cohn in interview he gave to the financial times, he said it seems like the white house is going to be pushing getting rid of state and local Tax Deduction as a way to generate revenue. The white house is encouraging this process and theyre participating in the meetings with the leaders from the house and the senate and they are not sitting back waiting for the bill they are trying to work with congress to get something and theres no question given the fact that republicans are pretty weak on controlling spending, if youre going to do a big tax reform package, you had to get rid of some of the loopholes in the tax code and the state and local Tax Deduction is probably the worst loophole because winds up subsidizing in states like new york, california and new jersey. Kevin last time we got tax reform, it took multiple years to get done back during Reagan Administration, do you think the endall, beall will be simple tax cut for multiple years, we wont really end a lot of the loopholes given the fact that the tax code is 75,000 pages, its complex, convoluted and every special interest trying defend it but simple tax cut to get us through a few years, is that whats going to happen . In my fantasy world we would rip up 76,000 pages and have a simple and fair flat tax, im realistic, ive been beaten down by the reality of washington, i want at least a decent step in the right direction. Now that means in an idea, again, not my fantasy world but ideal world semitax reform and lets get rid of tax reduction, lets lower rates, reduce double taxation, would it be perfect, no, would it get rid 75,000 pages, i hope so but im not holding my breath on that but theres no question we can have tax code thats not nearly as destructive and as nearly as damaging to u. S. Competitiveness as the one we have right now if they can simply come together and deal with some of these issues but the key thing is if you want to maximize the growth, you dont just want a tax cut that expires after ten years, you want to have at least semipermanent tax reform. Dagen we dont want it to expire, right, because businesses wont really act in a significant way if the tax cuts are going to disappear. Dan, bottom line, are we going to get this by the end of the year . [laughter] republicans are desperate to do something after the obamacare disaster that they had. And so not only do they have their constituents breathing down their necks, they are looking at their own political survival. They are thinking 2018 Midterm Elections, they want to do something, i mean, i dont know how they solve some of the big problems, revenue neutrality versus tenyear tax cuts. I know that they have a giant incentive to get it done so for once im semioptimistic that theyll come into agreement. Dagen yeah, because they are worried about their own hines. Thank you. Dagen 2 30 p. M. Eastern time today.

I want to thank you for coming out. Thank you everybody. What a crowd what a turnout. Joining us as former Fox News Contributor and president ial candidate. Herman cain. What did you make of his visit. In his communication. The people who have been impacted by this extreme weather they want to know that someone cares so they can get back to rebuilding their lives and they want to know that the leader of this nation cares. Because this tragedy has impacted this entire nation in addition to the people of texas. All of the people that worked for the administration and basically stay on top of it. What 12,000 National Guard troops said. We were assured through the aware of fort arthur texas. This is still a developing situation. Absolutely. That was the resources that are available and on their way to impact the area. That is a good thing but thats not necessarily a big headline. I do believe that the administration is going to stay on top of the story because the hard part now is helping people rebuild that. I think that menstruation is can be right there. Trying to help them in their process along. That will fall on congress. To pass what will be a relief effort going into the tens of billions of dollars to Hurricane Sandy of super storm sandy. Some lawmakers down in texas would it vote for it. I want to move onto this. Not just President Trump but really republicans. The university of tampa professor was fired after tweeting that Hurricane Harvey was karma for the election. The tweet hopes of the storm helped texas. What is your reaction to that. A lot of people are suffering some extreme losses and he is expressing what i call extreme pds. I dont feel sorry for him that he got fired. Because that is simply crossing the line. One thing we know about the American People that in times like this the goodness and most of us comes out. 99. 9 percent of us want to help and we want to wish the best to people and some of us even pray for them. What this instructor did he could not had been a professor was simply disgusting. Thats what i dont understand. Theyre just at there just in a constant state of rage about that. Speaking of that comedian Kathy Griffin she said shes not sorry now for that photo that she took with the bluntly decapitated have of the president. Im no longer start the whole outrage was bs. I got blown out of proportion and i lost everybody. I Chelsea Clinton tweeting against me. I lost everybody. And then she turns around and said the apology was without make up on which i thought was the new thing signaling im really sorry. We didnt believe your apology in the first place. Theres no need to take it back. She is giving this interview as a storm is bearing down on millions of people on the texas coast and this is what shes thinking about. She doubles down and she didnt have a hand to play. I happen to believe in it just a theory that the reason she did this was because she was no longer getting attention for her antics or her apology. So what you do. You double down. But guess what we didnt believe her then we dont believe her now. She is grappling for some Media Attention and it may last i love the comment after that. The family have destroyed her. And i think that was the tearful comment. And thats maybe why she didnt get work. The emotional breakdown because of something that she did in the first place. The trump family did not destroy her her mouth destroyed her. That is the destruction that she is experiencing and now she must to shift the blame on everybody else and call it bs when in fact that on certain things that you and i were raised if you have as harmful as that to say shut up. And now she is doubling down. When i say stupid things i will apologize for. It was good to see. And you do with make up on. Because nobody needs to see me without make up on in this lifetime or the next. They are accused of price gouging on water. This is following the destruction. More video of this amazing rescue.

Which is why comcast business delivers Consistent Network Performance and speed across all your locations. Hello, mr. Deets. Every Branch Running like headquarters. Thats how you outmaneuver. We are also keeping a close eye on harveys impact. And the medical community there. Take a look at the hospital at Texas Medical Center. This hospital is struggling to deliver care dozens of other hospitals in the region have taken steps to evacuate joining us now is dr. Mike. This is one of the most critical pieces of houstons economy how can doctors in this area continue to deliver care with such limited resources. Its a very tricky situation. No one has seen a storm of this specific type of magnitude. We just saw a really great image and that hospital is not flooded within. The Texas Medical Center did a renovation of about 50 million after the storm in 2001 and after that was done none of the facilities were flooded. The issues come from the area surrounding that. It limits access of patients coming in. For seizures, labor delivery anything. All of those people now can get to the emergency room because of the water. You need access and by boat. That puts such a difficult strain on them to give a care even though they are opening that. They face that by emergency responders. What do you make of this. It is something that is can a need to be monitored and dealt with in the weeks to come. They were sitting hands in cans of water to the reason. What kind of bacteria is good to be present. They really surprised the senate for disease control. They saw you never really know what kind of contamination might happen. There was an outbreak within that shelters of cases during hurricane katrina. When it live in such close proximity anything is possible. There people that are trapped or surrounded by water. See out of the water as much as you can. Drowning is a serious risk of life. Sharp debris that can open wound on your body which allows bacteria to enter and if you do get a cut or you do have some sort of infection going on. If you are going to be Drinking Water make sure that you boil the water first. Thats really key here. These medications can run out. What would you advise people to do in the situation. They have a really good communication with the pharmacies that do deliver and what the city of houston did very well is that they plan to have. Those who were on chemotherapy regimens need certain medications. They planned ahead. They either gave them early where they redirected them to an area that was not affected by the flooding. You took care of those patients. They need to go two or three times a week to get services. They are the ones that need emergency care. Thats why all of these heroes that are traveling now to help those people are the ones that i can first be affected. Is that emergency protocol for them. The Homeland Security Homeland Security department is involved with it. Its not as much as a disease issue in the beginning as the preparation for these things. They did a really good job preparing staffing wise. During Hurricane Sandy. I was actually working out of luther Medical Center at the time. They have those coming preemptively in a basically camp out. All of the staff that is in the texan, houston area they are stuck there. That is incredible. All of the doctors. They are gearing up to me to their new boss today. Mornings with maria. Even love it. And today, you can do things you never could before. Youre working in millions of places at once with iot sensors. Analyzing social data on the cloud to create new designs. And using blockchain to help prevent fraud.

Harvey making landfall again, pummeling texas now storm moving east, the mayor of port arthur texas saying his city is battered by storm posting his or ago a whole city underwater right now we are coming, if you called we are coming. President trump got a firsthand look, at what this storm is capable of yesterday. You are going to be working with on helping out the state of texas, and going to be, a coast proposition parochial never anything so expensive in country history never anything so historic in terms of damage. In terms of what with harvey. We are talking about port arthur texas harvey continues to have impact on the Energy Sector the largest refinery there, has shut down, because of flooding from that storm, and refinery on top of the by atown refinery exxon shot earlier in the week you now have one all onefifth capacity in United States shut down because of harvey as we move into the weekend gasoline prices, continue to head higher up 20 cents, rather, a gallon in the last six trading sessions, we see them heading higher again, futures in the stock market showing gains across the board, as we wait for the second reading on a Second Quarter gdp due out the bottom expecting growth 2. 7 investors eyeing President Trumps speech on tax reform, in missouri happens this afternoon the commander in chief will outline his strategy to reduce tax burden on companies and allamerican workers fox will bring coverage 2 30 pm eastern time in europe stocks higher across the board gains in england france and germany same in asia overnight, the loser a slight loss shanghai all that so much more, political analyst, kiss 10 hag lapd kevin kelly republican about strategist form trump surrogate, a pleasure one more hour a lot to cover. There is a september to remember weve got to raise debt eliminate pass budget tax reform and there is only 12 days where they are going to be working together, the house and the senate, can it get done who knows the president is going to outlay taxes and his plan for it. We have to come up with a front basically relief bill, funding for the recovery from harvey, and to those republicans who said they voted against the one for super storm sandy had pork in it twothirds pork, i think what is texas said no that is actually not the case, the case was that virtually all related to damage by super storm sandy. Texas will need relief, Tropical Storm Harvey Landfall again in louisiana, flash flood warnings in effect across that state, as a neighborhoods texas continues to real from the devastating raining the rains and flooding, that rainfall now surpassing u. S. Record for total rainfall from a single storm, 13,000 people rescued across the southeastern part of texas, this comes amid new reports out of port arthur, that there are 90 miles, from houston where mayor has warned that whole city is underwater. And residents unsure how to get out, jeff flock is houston for with us the very latest there, jeff in good morning. Reporter yeah dagen, we have combing through this neighborhood close recess vorz we think everybody is out dramatic rescues yesterday people had no idea getting flooded lived here 50 years never a flood before, and yesterday it was you know, came up all of a sudden, because of releases from reservoir we think based on what they are saying, that Harris County and Flood Control, they have released as much as they think they need to release, so that is good news maybe we dont get more rise, if most of the folks that are here, were here live here have gotten out that is good news, and you know, wait for floodwaters to go down only problem with that is same Flood Control officials said because of the reservoirs, these floodwaters could be up, in this community, until october, really puts a picture on it, that would be tough, of course, because of the breadth of this there is a lot of people, just the numbers on this are just staggering, and i think that is the headlined, the positive and i want to leave with you a positive and that is, you know we have been looking at numbers of People Killed in this, looking at 18 could go higher katrina that was awful one you hate to compare disasters and try to say one is worst than the other but katrina 18 dead here, 1800 dead plus in katrina. So i think that is a positive relatively small loss of life at this point. Dagen jeff thank you so much for your reporting now and always jeff foreclose no houston pentagon says up to 30,000 additional National Guardsmen, troops from several states are ready to join the rescue efforts owing in texas joining us now, from the pentagon with more on militarys role in efforts, chief of the you been National Guard bureau general. Are all of these individuals going to be deployed, 30,000 number that i referenced . Yeah, good morning good to be with you, and you know i think time will tell how much will of 30,000 actually are needed by texas. I think it is a good news story texas, Governor Abbott has been very aggressive posturing the texas National Guard all organic texas guard mobilized, next 24 to 48 hours on duty in support of the emergency sponsored is there we in bureau, as we talked to other 54 states, territories in District Of Columbia to assess what equipment they have available to offer texas to augment the texas response, in support of texas. So yet to be determined. I think i have watched this unfold the last few days, general john nickles average tabt general of texas in support of the governor has been very aggressive in asking us for what they need, and we hear here at bureau pofrth that. Dagen o correct me if im wrong general in terms of the numbers talking about in texas alone 12,000 members National Guard there, but after katrina we were talking to what was done after katrina those numbers closer to 50,000,individuals, who were deployed and this would certainly bring 30,000 additional troops would bring those numbers closer to katrina level. So i wondered how many do do you have any sense of how many individuals will be needed in this the coming weeks and months . Because again, the ones individuals on the ground now they will need relief. No doubt about it, i will tell you we like i said the number 30,000 that is a number, that we have post ladi lated could be needed you are right some guardsmen need to be relieved overtime as this disaster unfolds, this that is what we do we posture events katrina one model 50,000 guardsmen 20,000 arcs serving military numbers involved in that, we will see if it gets that big, we postured and identified forces, coming days and weeks as environment is more about usable we can operate better will push additional capabilities to texas as they need them. Dagen focus on houston dont want to forget storm bearing down on texas coast we heard from mayor of port arthur texas on facebook saying his city getting battered by storm passivitied posted on facebook our wholly city underwater but we are coming if you called we are coming are more resources being deployed there general . You know yes, maam,i will tell you that the helicopters search and rescue boats all coordinated to get where they are needed the most obviously today lifesaving searchandrescue efforts number one priority of the nation. Port arthur, houston, needs help storm finally moves away we are getting resources to people that need them, that is one of the reasons the guard comes we bring capacity bring helicopters, boats not just guard it is all of the air force Navy Marine Corps coast guard involved for days a well synchronized force i think you will see full force.

Yes absolutely we have several hundred or may be more people sheltering right now taking care of plus collecting supplies to help people in other shelters around town.

Well, our doors have always been prepare to the very, very beginning, as soon as the waters begin to recede a couple days in we had people coming in that we took in, there is a big shelter four miles away where they house thousands city shelter once that filled occupy our shelter kicked in our church has always been open, some notions that we are closed not hear to take care of the ze not true narrative there were safety issues the building on verge of flooding water to up floodgates so first couple days, it was not acceptable for our staff for other people as well. Dagen could you not get there over the weekend . Did you and your wife go to the church over the weekend . Because the issue is people photographs following on social media, people went and photographed outside the church appears as if northbound was on the church they wanted to know if your church was dry, then why werent you sheltering people rather than tuesday say sunday . The church was not dry. People cant see everything from the distance there is a road right behind me where we have big floodgates water was close to coming over, now that water reseeds in 12 or 18 hours, but at the time was not dry, this billed flooded in 2001 when rockets 10 feet of water on lower floor safety issues from a distancing looks like church on a hill there are other issues two going on as well, plus our staff, and Building Engineers there wasnt anybody close bottom line church is open here to take care of people done it 60 years will continue to do it helping people hurting in the city right now. Dagen were you at the church over the weekend you and your wife . Were you on premises. I was i was not i was here i think friday and saturday but was not here this is a big storm, this people not able to get out of neighborhoods and things, it was it was a i mean obviously huge storm, and you know my niece stranded across street from billed saturday or sunday water can rise quickly bayous, we are here today can help people now whether we opened could have opened a day sooner or got word out earlier main thing we are helping people now. That is what i was going to ask you in hindsight would you have done anything differently over the weekend . You know, i have not even looked back to think about that, i really dont you know probably works but you know i think the main thing is, you know safety issues, and a lot of things people dont see, but you know this church is open we dont turn people away we took neem right at the very start they wanted to go to a shelter where they have showers beds all that you know really set up today, hey if anybody needs help we are open distributing supplies, and going to continue to do this for years to come. Dagen were you surprised at the outrage at reaction how people focused on you and your church . You know, i dont know if i was surprised i dont pay much atension to it i he know social media that doesnt run our life, people dont really know what were doing dont know all the issues, you know obviously my staff told me about it, but, again, life is too short to put energy in the negative people that dont understand no fault to them but we are going to run our race be who we are called to me some people will never like me or church or person of faith i do think that noticreat that was a false narrative shb bought into can spread do go viral, but telling our side of the story. You didnt have people basically seeking shelter you he did not have people in the church on sunday, for example, or tuesday or monday you had people starting coming in tuesday . Yeah probably tuesday was the main day, but saturday and sunday were not safe here i can promise you that flooding wise Everything Else we had some of our pastors were in floods had to be rescued Holding Babies four hours in floodwaters, we somehow found boats to get them, but a huge storm, and you know a lot of different issues going on from safety, to you know just you know keeping it altogether. Dagen pastor we see what the church is doing, in terms of raising bringing in supplies, bringing in individuals, helping them are you going to be making a personal donation at all to any of the causes in the region . To help people in houston and texas . You know victoria and i are givers all life we give give all the time i dont talk about that, of course, we are going to be doing that encouraging other people to do same today thousands of how as ton the hughes on theians will will give, we have been part of community 30 years 60 years 17 years ago housed 3,000 evacuees during katrina, so that is what lakewood is all about, we are going to continue to be who we are lifting people up helping them in time of need .

We moved back to energy, the largest u. S. Crude refinery is shut down because of storm harvey, price futures phil flynn at cme onefifth of all Refining Capacity shut down maybe more than that on top of the by atown refinery, largest in the United States, what does this continue to do to gasoline prices and after that talk about the pipeline problems you brought up first yesterday. Right, i will tell you he yeah, this is amazing we are already seeing impact, we heard that port arthur was actually going to shut down we suspected it we saw the price of gasoline spike almost 5 cents a gal immediately as soon as that was confirmed a spike in futures Market Making it interesting gasoline contracts expire on monday we are going to see dramatic moves in that area, what does that mean hang on to your wallet a situation going to see supplies of gasoline, shut down some refineries shutting down the flooding electricity, couple shutting down because they cant get the crude oil because the concerns with electricity, people on the ground, pipelines down, so this is going to be ongoing situation, that isnt going away any time soon. And that nightmare scenario that we heard breaking yesterday is Colonial Pipeline this is the Mississippi River pipeline, there is so much oil and gasoline, in even jet fuel that goes through this pipeline, and, you know, some of the airports might have a hard time to move in places, as far away as Dulles Airport even in new york city, so this is a major pipeline that has to come back online we are going to see ramifications across the economy. Dagen i want to point that out the Colonial Pipeline delivers fuel to Charlotte Airport dulles do you expect is it possible, that do we get gas lines in some places . Yeah, as far as gasoline, yes, we get gasoline, yes, this could this potentially this pipeline if down, it could potentially lead to shortages all across east coast the Colonial Pipeline people saying dont worry not that bad yesterday we are doing everything we can to keep it running if totally shut down i see gas shortages in all futures.

All august 30 top stories right now, we are waiting on the second reading of Economic Growth in this country, determining the Second Quarter keep close eye on futures, 14. Gain on dow futures right now waiting for this number to expectation is for 2. 7 growth second reading on Second Quarter gdp got adp number private sector job creation, here we go, kevin economy grew to 3 what did i say . [laughter] mornings with maria. Awesome, i am smiling because, we all know that President Trump is watch your twitter feed you know the president is going to be tweeting about this, what do you make of this this is above expectations above the First Reading on Second Quarter Economic Growth, this is an economy that is moving into the year has picked up steam, 3 , is decent growth. Really decent growth number considering the administration has focused on how weve had one of the worst recoveries post recession we havent gotten of 3 got one on second reading that is really telling, that this economy is really resilient and really expecting that this administration is going growth, 3 reading that is about, any fiscal policy does have a lot of deregulation behind it consumer Consumer Confidence behind it second highest reading Consumer Confidence since 2000 this month consumers are happy about jobs numbers came through private payroll today 237,000 versus estimate 185 fridays job number should do well another thing about economy how robust it is volatility in the job numbers we have that, during reprieve administration, we had a good job number bad job number so much uncertainty in the business environment, there is not a lot of uncertainty right now in business environment. Dagen because of stronger Consumer Spending one of the reasons uptick economy actually growing 3 economy didnt grow 3 on annual basis, for a decade. During the president Obamas Administration over 8 years never saw 3 annual growth. Unprecedented. This is just one quarter though. Unprecedented monetary policy, the Federal Reserve has never gone into the open markets and distorted it suppressed bond prices, bond yields to bring down to a low level so that is the are surprising i was one reason i thought hitting 3 today because of all the because you are eternal on mist. 5 00. This is in business spending off asset pullback in Government Spending that is where it came from. I know you are happy. I am so happy i just keep thinking what are certain negative outlets how are they going to spin this negatively. I dont know i dont think you can spin negatively. I dont think you can at all. President s twitter feed tweeting about it moments from now shifting focus back to the agenda, about those for the economy heading to missouri this afternoon for tax reform, this comes as the commander in chief surveyed devastation by harvey in texas, live in Springfield Missouri with preview hey, blake. Reporter high Springfield Missouri off route 66 americas main street this is purposely why white house chose to launch first major push explaining why there needs overhaul of the nations tax code multiple white house officials tell us today you can expect President Trump to lay out vision lay out philosophy talking about reed to end rigged system as he sees it ending special interest loophole in tax code talking tax cuts and pay increases for the average American American family white house believes that is a winning message. Spending hours a year to comply with tax code benefits those who aafford flotilla lawyers accountants to show ways around the tax code. However dagen do not expect any major policy announcement any details patrolled out in form of rates, and numbers, and figures et cetera, the white house is describing this as a why, not a house speech reporting, at this point baby six put framework together relying on congressional committees to take everything from here forward and to sort of cobble votes together where numbers will fall potentially upcoming weeks and medicines the white house says the president will be doing more events as this fall approaches this will be first in a long line of tax reform speeches, and pushes, this is something dagen, certainly different as relates to Health Care Reform as we did not see much from president on that issue. Dagen that is a very good point blake, exactly, blake burman, and dont miss our coverage of this event where blake is in missouri, that begins 2 30 pm eastern time, this afternoon. Joining us now is editor in chief of the hill bob, what is your take on this this is just got this good news on the economy, 3 growth granted second reading we get one more reading on this numbers certainly yearoveryear for the last 8 we havent seen this kind of growth. Yeah, that is very significant, and as you mentioned i think that the president is going to tweet about this that is strong suit a big deal that the economy is doing well. Elections are usually about the economy, so even though you couldnt get help here see about tax reform, these numbers are very good, and that is something that i think this white house needs to talk more about. Dagen flies in face i just heard this in you been talking about to granted i wasnt kind of the liberal bastion that is new york city people talk negatively about economy how consumers are not spending that is no had the the case if people were down on this country would you not see this kind of growth you wouldnt see consumer sent monetary where it is individuals not spending money. On tax reform that is where this white house needs have to say it can get better if we reform tax code cut taxes in that area first they have to pass a budget if able to pass a budget with tax reform language in there, they dont need democrats they just need to unite get a majority of Republicans Health care was very difficult but i think very interesting that the president having big thing today in missouri they need thof a better message on tags than on health care. And that is going to be the key to passage. Also puts pressure on them publicly, to get something done, rather than just, and mnuchin, and cohn both working on this as chief economic adviser but, also, do you expect because when congressmen come back next week 12 was one thing on agenda making sure flood smurnz program can continue to borrow money only 5. 8 billion dollars left to borrow but, also, it will be an aid package responding to harvey, and after super storm sandy was pushback from some republicans including ted cruz and Mick Mulvaney budget director about providing this package arguing there was some pork in it. Yeah, you are not hearing a lot from conservatives we have to offset the cost of Harvey Relief i dont think you are going to see a lot of voices there, i think, the Harvey Relief can tie into the Flood Insurance, extending that as well as funding the government, before heaviarvey i thought a good thought at Government Shutdown now i dont think to i think all in one bill it is going to pass. Consultants on hill are looking to 2018 midterms, and congressional Approval Ratings at record lows in teens and below. But they need to see great job numbers as you a pointing out elections are often about jobs what is your view how next Midterm Election is going to play out do you think republicans shouldering Health Care Failure and delay an tax reform or look at unusualness usher into majority. I think they have to get something done oning tags whether just tax cuts or tax reform, tax cuts is easier because tax reform winners and losers, tax cuts bread and butter they have to get something done on tax cuts to run on that and economy i think if they dont get tax cuts done another failure on capitol hill i think that could deflate the base, and remember trump is not on ballot next year, and republicans need the trump voters to show up, to keep control of the house and senate, so it is just i think comes down to whether able to get tax cuts through. Bob kevin kelly i am completely in agreement with you, on the fact they are going do have to get tax cuts they promised it this year, and there is no way they can do reali rerm years to get done we saw with Reagan Administration the question has not been talked about, is infrastructure, right, and they need to get reelections in 2018, are we going to see big push in completely transition to infrastructure talk december january solely focus on that coming into the elections of 2018 . There is a real opportunity for that, now having, because transportation initially was going to be done earlier, and now pushed back, because of tax reform and tax reform and infrastructure, initially some said mer merge are together they are going tax cuts first, transportation, then a possibility at least of a bipartisan bill conservatives would balk at cost democrats want to do something on infrastructure, so i think they are going to try to get that done but i think the Election Year politicize make it very difficult. Watching this president twitter feed nothing yet. [laughter]. Dagen 3 is the number that they talked about, and certainly that would warrant him i am checking my phone nothing yet. Stay focused on harvey. We will hear this afternoon for sure thank you so much for being here. Thank you, coming up life after harvey why Small Businesses could become the biggest victims of this historic storm, in the heroes of harvey, Stuart Varney will weigh in on the volunteer efforts to rescue those, save lives in houston during and after the catastrophic flooding.

The lady in the boat rescued by the passer pushing the boat through houses jeff flock interviewed her you know she was grateful, when is the last time you saw somebody in distress grateful for the help received it is usually oh there is also a complaint, whining, but not this time that lady was grateful, that meant a lot to me.

Exactly, like i just thought that anybody who would take one second out of their day, to weigh in, on the first lady is wearing to, weigh in on what they think about a Political Party to weigh in on it anything, of so inconsequential need to just check their soul.

Has been talking to north korea paying them extortion money 25 years. Talking is not the answer. We want to move back to harvey, back to the gulf coast in texas, Economic Impact from that devastating historic storm, one estimate from moodys says that the cost of this could reach 75 billion dollars. Houstons economy is one of the nations largest and while plenty big businesses there, is the Small Businesses that may be hardest hit the head of Small Business bank of America Sharon miller what are some steps that you know that these businesses are already taking, down in thank you houston area to really kind of come back from devastating storm. Certainly it is devastating, and my thoughts and prayers certainly with the folks in the gulf coast region, we do see when in article disasters happen like harvey that it is important that you are contacting fema that you are reaching out to understand what is your insurance, the other thing sb. A. If you are a Small Business owner, there are a lot of Resources Available for Small Businesses contacting your bank many have programs and we at bank of america have announced yesterday that weve donating a Million Dollars to the victims of harvey, and many of those are in the houston area and that whole gulf coast region. And so it is really important that you do those three things, because, we were discussing at the break 40 of businesses dont survive a Natural Disaster when things like this happen. Do you coordinate a lot of efforts with Small Business Administration Work with them. Absolutely partnership with sba, programs through bank of america yes, we are here to help provide that capital for businesses, that they need, as they grow as they expand as they apply different he businesses in the area. Sharon what causes businesses to stay closed after storms is it because the cleanup efforts are so expensive that insurance doesnt cover it or because you have a whole neighborhoods that are to devastated even if business can reopen in Retail Industry customers dont come back for sometime. That is right, so Small Businesses tough business to begin with you have on Small Business owner. Yes, so you know, Small Business owner there is a ceo, cfo they do everything, multiple hats, really, really tough, when disasters like this strike if not capitalized enough, didnt plan for unexpected, so you do see many Small Businesses going out of business, at this time. But the flip side of that there is rebuild the recovery, and there are those efforts, and a lot of businesses are created in times like about this. Some Small Businesses are run by unbelievable women there is womens business are you kissing up . No no. I am right here. Just giving you just giving you hard time. Entrepreneurial spirit live and well in women you see that time and time again there is even this womens, Business Owners report, health some booibig facts. Women are optimistic we do survey through bank of America Survey Small Business owners across the country to understand what are their hopes fierce, what are they thinking about next 12 months some interesting findings looking 20 years i am a mother i have a daughter when we look at women in 6. 2 of all ceos fortune 500 company women, over the next 20 years, women think there will be at least half a huge increase, the other thing is spend, those have been typically losers for male dominated field again, science technology, engineering math, more and more women going into that, and that has been, that to me Shows Optimism in the cando women right.
