the major challenges that could lead to the breakup of this american staple? joining me to talk all about it, carrie sheffield is here. kevin kelly and beyond for global ambassador fox news contributor, john mayfield. great to see you. >> great to see appeared interesting stuff with ge. 100-year-old company getting a chance to reset. maria: if you're a long-term ge shareholder, this is a sad day. >> just reselling other. >> good morning to you. the problem there is ge when they actually did the restructuring and they found these more problems. but delaying dollars during 20 billion of that is pretty significant. if they can find this, there's a lot more under the surface. so was the market. look at the reaction yesterday. >> i hope you're wrong. maria: as well as politics. did everybody catch the press conference yesterday about the president's health? >> yes, yes. >> 30 out of 30. >> stable genius. maria: i was just astounded at the stupidity of the questions. i mean come the dentures? >> the last president was a smoker and a drinker. this one isn't bad at all. he's got to lose 15 pounds and do more exercise. >> i was embarrassed by the questions. i really was. berkshire is with us this morning. former cte restaurant and the el in america's first policy advisor in the poster is with us. strategies partner corey lewandowski joins with us and judge andrew napolitano. dr. calvert chassis is with chassis is with us here come a.k.a. dr. mike. do stay with us. we take it off with this top story. record territory again topping 26,000. president trump weighed in on the record highs from washington. >> the stock market is way up again today setting the record literally all the time. i'm telling you we have a long way to go and had the other side gotten in, the market would have gone down 50% from where it was. 50% from where it was. remember that. it was stagnant and it was going down. maria: that's a big number. 50%, kevin kelly. i do think we are seeing this kind of success because of the president's policy. >> at totally because of the policy. the only reason the economy can do well is this monetary policy and fiscal policies are working to the benefit of the people and that is what is happening. every federal reserve governor begging for fiscal policies. the economy was hampered by oppressive rules and regulations including obamacare, see if tv, you name it and all of a sudden a new administration comes in any knoxville policies and federal reserve governors are over the moon. great, we can raise three times next year, maybe even more. maria: is this potential government shut down one of the threats to the market rally just days to avert a government shutdown set for friday? house sitters propose a funding bill that would fund this for four more weeks while allowing more time for stalled negotiations over what to do on the deferred action for childhood arrivals, the daca program? is this the kind of event should receive event should we see a government shutdown best advantage? >> it will take down the republican party. seven government shut downs since 1976 all have been ideological differences. in no case has there been one party controlled on both sides of congress and the government shutdown. this is suicide for the republican party. maria: i have to push back on that. yesterday was watching the show. i had a cold. i still have a little bit and i heard dagen say look back at all of the government shutdowns we say. the world goes on. not only that, that people increasingly upset with the obstructionism out there. i think they will blame the democrats. >> i think they will because of that demographic heidi heitkamp, joe manchin. the least nine democratic senators that trump one including five when he won by double digits. the obstructionism by the parts of democrats because they don't want to shut down the government this is the insistence to say we need a clean daca though which makes no sense because that's what we've been trying to do. this is by the republican establishment lost because they were not willing to be comprehensive and focus on the border first and that's what people are fed up and you see a disconnect, almost second sequestration and let congress be the juvenile children and we will be the adults in the market. >> i don't think the market does go down a mahogany impact in one of the reasons why it's only a government does the government shutdown not shutdown. the market is not worried about it. you're also going to see democrats see through to the 30th, which is the state of the union. they will not want to shut down the government until they see what the president lays out because they have elections in 2018. maria: at the end of the day, the other side, they want the government to shut down. they would like that. >> certain governments don't want to do that here they want to show they are working with this administration to benefit constituents. do you have a name? who was don't work another republican? maria: here's how it plays out. they are viewing that democrats will come along when they need to and work with republicans, state tax reform. whatever they need to do, especially the known incentive for democrats to work with republicans because they were shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly time after time last year. look at health look at health care. it blew up in their faces. no one is pushing back on democrats, especially constituents. maria: if they don't want to come to the table and do the proper funding for the border wall and make sure that the military is funded properly, i would say the republicans will say fine, the government shuts down. i think people blamed the dems. >> i feel like either party is very good. this is never happen in the history of our country when one party controls everything. you're feeling like the least worst in this case, which is less than people believed in alien abductions. president trump used tough language on immigration during a white house meeting last week though she denied. a particular vulgarity that turned testy before the senate judiciary committee yesterday. watch this. >> at president trump used this word or a substantially similar word to describe certain countries? >> did he use anything similar to that describing in the conversation was very impassioned. i don't dispute the president was using tough language. others in the room were also using tough language. >> when dick durbin called me at tears rage when i heard about the meeting. for you not to feel that hurt and not paying and dismissed the questions of my colleagues may never be answered with tens of millions of americans are hurting right now because of what they're worried about what happened in the white house that's unacceptable to me. >> is corey booker not think that everyone knows that was just a performance because he wants to run for president? the way he spoke with the secretary of homeland security to me was unacceptable. as a professional women, were you as outraged as i was? >> with all that man explaining? was incredibly condescending. this is a platform where he wants to lead the resistance against tron. you win in 2018 because they tried this in 2016 of the racially divisive. however you want to slice and dice it the identity politics. in terms of immigration, they want to focus on language and set of policy. what you're doing matters a lot more that the president said in terms of immigration based on substantive merit, that's what we should focus on. immigrants are on some form of public welfare. basically what's happening is middle-class americans are taking their paychecks and subsidizing immigrants taking more than assistance. that's reality and however however you want to slice it, politics is about the allocation of resources, hard choices and corey booker is just being emotional. maria:'s putting on a show because he wants to run for president. >> you can assign motives to mr. booker. >> it doesn't compare to deeds. in the psalms of cape town, the huge shantytown. last month in the slums of mumbai and go into haiti in a couple months to visit the same sports programs there. people are not doing anything to help these places. i don't agree with the term being asked if that was used here just alleged right now. down in new orleans. just as bad as haiti after hurricane katrina. and we are not doing anything about the inner cities arguing over what we call him. a total distraction. maria: anybody on the panel think that is a license to rip into somebody. i'm talking about the way corey booker spoke to the homeland security secretary. i thought it was disgusting. >> was a public hearing. you see the difference between how they act in their private hearings for nothing gets out and nothing gets done in public hearings where they use it as a platform for themselves. that's all it was weather was dick durbin doubling down for corey booker putting on the sideshow. maria: incredible. we will keep talking about. on the hunt for two suspects this morning after brazen shoot out of the 711 overnight. the crypto curtsy plunging as governments move to regulate. is the meteoric rise over?

your member up to five, six years it went up 200% in 1999. i do think there are indicators that the pendulum has long friends here all the way to greed, mostly the average investor is the highest level stock exposure since 2000. it's a good time to argue for lower than normal exposure. maria: does the real moment in time of the 90s. thank you for that by the way. then, pushing stocks because

now it's about revenue earnings in the sea that come through. it's fascinating if you think about previously the past few years in an earnings recession that's the biggest issue we had and now companies are doing exceptionally well operating margins are at their highest levels. we see the tailwind of the monetary policy finally pulled through enough fiscal policy taken hold in the global growth story binding to all large multinational corporations. >> this time is different. now it's block chain. you talked about docs. although block chain companies. >> not in the s&p 500. if you look at exposure. the long block chains are not indicative of the nature of today's markets. the stock market if you look at the dow jones industrial average. the 30 largest companies, none of them are block chain companies. maria: at ibm you've been talking about. >> debauching hyper ledger not driving the revenues. just using it in deploying it. using technology to foster. maria: block chain of

cyber security firm has identified a north korean hacking outfit this is a same group responsible for the sony hack at the end of last year. nate, good to see you think you so much for waiting in this morning. how vulnerable is the crypto currency to the hack. we live in a world that is digitally connected. increasingly now currencies and cars and other things that we hadn't previously thought of as digital. there is exposure there obviously. new talking about a potential war between a strong country and a weak country. the cyber capabilities it can be weapons of the week. cheap and easy to develop. i see all of these the things coming out of north korea. such as develop nuclear weapons. and the only thing coming to my head is that they are in able by china. how they can place blame. what is your take on that. that north korea has been enabled by china. the only way they get internet is through china. the defense is really hard. but attacking is pretty easy. that have been launched by a kid and his parents basement. they are falling. and it's unlikely that north korea will get outside help. i handful of people relatively will equipped well-equipped can do this themselves. this appears to be their only option. they don't have the gasoline to invade south korea. this is a matter of a self survival. there is a great book about that vietnam war. these are the sorts of things that they do. you go to the low end of the strict specter or you go to the high end to try to deter the united states. there was elections in south korea last year. the new leader they have there. he is not pro- western as some of the predecessors. even talks that he wants to open the case on industrial contacts. it would allow the north koreans to have access to mark capital which means that they could do more damage. they are probably going to be more pragmatic. then even that united states can be across the pacific ocean. this is a matter of geography and proximity. >> intel

accountability that you would expect to see and they recognized all of the personal data and so much of their potential livelihood is at stake. we really see a vacuum of government policy here. imagine if american ships were sailing and american airlines was at risk of being shot down. we would be dealing with this in a different way. or if necessary military to deter it. that is bigger

in the quarter as a result of the tax act. in the commercial break that we are about to enter a time that is pitiful for the banks because not only do you have better economic growth but you also higher interest rates. and you have the rollback and regulations that has not hit the banks yet. i think one of the best things it's can happen as you're is you see the net interest margins. and then they actually can deploy revenues that they are generating from that and two other areas that generate. we head over 202000 pages of rules and regulations from a basket of agencies holding them down. talking about that. we don't even have to worry about the designation. as you start gaining more assets that you are seen i don't know why they would even consider that. the regional bank they should be deployed their capital that is a kind of rulemaking that is really crippling companies. they did nothing to discuss that. i did put a lot of restrictions on banks and earnings. the earnings are not that great. no one cared about the fourth quarter. they wanted to know what the tax plan was to be for 18. the tax policy and people still don't know how the tax policy will affect earnings. i think you make a really good point in terms of the smaller banks. they will see the big upside. this is where we have seen a lot of the damage happening where the smaller banks are being gobbled up there drying up because they could not comply with the regulation. it is a big breathing relief for them. a lot of these community banks were african-american owned banks. and they shut down because of dodd frank. they actually care about outcomes. through policies that make sense. they should not had to comply with anyway. we haven't seen what j.p. morgan will do with the extra savings from the tax

in february congress should have a bill completed by september 30 at the end of the fiscal year. here we are now still not having a funding bill for 2018 which is why we are continuing to force to do this continued resolution because no one wants a shut down. that hurts federal workers in her defense department. we are going to shut down the government's. unless there is a deal for illegal aliens in place. we don't want to shut down the government. they are supposed to have a funding bill completed by september 30. you're basically being held hostage. every two weeks. it's not the way to run the government. secretary mattis has continued to go and talk to the republican leaders. we cannot make the necessary planning that i need and we are putting our troops funding in jeopardy. how have he get that communicated to the american people. we recognize the threats that are out there. in terms of national security. we also recognize that the democrats would like the government to shut down because they believe that republicans will be blamed. the reality is that democrats we need 60 votes in the united states and -- united states senate. they are holding american people and the government hostage in order to get the demand. something that was lost a report that came out that said three out of four terrorist convicted here in the united states. something else was in that report that was missing. that's seven per day. here we are having all of this drama and discussion about what he said and she said. we are trying to fix chain migration. to make sure that the country is safe and secure. seven everyday are apprehended and turned away. that's pretty incredible number actually. we are also facing a group where they would prefer the government to shut down. because they don't want the legislative agenda to get executed. the question to whether or not they really want to shut down or they think they can bluff to try to get people to cave in to their demands on daca. we will find out this week. they will end up holding together and given more time. this is no way to run a government. they submitted a budget in february of 2017. let's talk about the broader agenda. this is an anniversary week for the president. what are the priorities for 18. i think we are going to take time to review 2017 because of what it was his work in so many ways. it will feature an infrastructure plan that is closer to the state of the union. and look at to require work requirements. those will continue to be priorities for the administration. we want to make sure our troops are funded. they had been essayed that they want infrastructure reports say that the president will actually present an infrastructure plan during the state of the union do you had plans to tout the infrastructure plan for the state of the union. it is a matter of timing we will continue to head conversations with congress. you should look for the president to unveil that. and all of the decisions to win as many seats as they can and the 2018 elections. that's why the obstruction is probably going to only pick up. there will be a lot more obstructions and probably the expectations for what we can do legislatively well diminish as the year goes on. to your point democrats well had to make a case they will have to explain why the unemployment is at the lowest point ever. a 17 year low and yet they are stopping the economic plans. what is the biggest pushback in the left. giving the president the money that he is asking for. on the border security keep in mind in 2006 most democrats voted for the secure defense act. over $40 billion they've been willing to vote for it before. the only difference now is that donald trump is president. there is a recognition of the security needs of the political reasons. how much of the conversation around the reality is that getting in the way in terms of doing a deal or is that just noise coming from the left. i think the conversations yesterday were chordal -- cordial. they go back on the plan in october. we refined that plan a couple weeks ago. they try to get closer to negotiations. her anxious for congress to come back and say this is the way to end the visa lottery program. in the trade migration which is a program to which the president and they began to secure the border. are you getting at least an acknowledgment that the visa program is ridiculous,? i think there is a growing question that it is ridiculous. let's take the visas and reallocate them. thank you so much for walking us through us all. we will be watching at the developments. mark sure at the white house. the bizarre questions that embarrassed the entire media for the white house doctors. they're offloading and the candy business for nearly $3 billion. pssst. what? i switched to geico and got more. more savings on car insurance? a-ha. and an award-winning mobile app. that is more. oh, there's more. mobile id cards, emergency roadside service... more technology. i can even add a new driver... ...right from her phone! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. welcome back to mornings with maria. i'm cheryl casone with your headlines. related to the deadly crash of two different ships last year.

up lewis season. i could get even worse. the severity of the virus is overwhelming emergency rooms across the country. at least 20 children have died as a result. hospitals in california have begun turning their parking lots into makeshift treatment centers. during this right now as is a family medicine dr. better known as dr. mike. i'm just back. it's not the flu but i was afraid because the flu is serious and dangerous. it's dangerous all seasons actually. we actually forget that the last flu season wasn't so bad. but it doesn't kill. even those who get it and don't die from it they are out of work for a week. it's not a virus that's like the common cold of the goes away after a few days. tamiflu is a great insight viral. that's why i always recommend a senior dr. right away with the symptoms to start. there has been some promise with taking it after the 48 hours. it doesn't kill people thinking over the age of 65. under the age of five. the main question is should people be getting flu shots. did actually work the season. we are guessing at what strains and cultures that will actually be. the flu shot is definitely worth it. there has been a lot of excitement. the way we decide if it's can be good to be effective is we look at australia. there flu shot was only about 10% effective for the current strain that we have. it means actually nothing to that regular person but to scientists we get excited about it. and what we found is the current flu shot is about 30% effective. it will tone down your symptoms and shorten the course. and we will see if you yearly get flu shots will be even more effective. i felt like that affected my immune system. there is a couple of things that come from that. the humidity is lower so germs hang around longer. everyone is seen inside. we are closer together. most talk about the president's health. the commander in chief is in good health but that was not enough for the mainstream media. watch this charade. are you looking at dementia like that seems like it's just shy of obesity. recently the president appeared to slur his words. i could not believe this yesterday. i tweeted out in the middle of it no words. i was embarrassed for my industry. they were upset that the president that there wasn't anything bad to report. the dr. said a lifetime of no alcohol or tobacco really has served him incredibly well. they are obsessed. they think the president's neck is second to make it through the first term. they have all of the scenarios that they think he won't make it. and that he will be impeached because of his health. that's why they're doing this. i see a lot of people critiquing someone talk before they know exactly what's going on. in order to know anything about the mental health if to sit down with them. to see some journalists and doctors come on and say i know this person has asked illness. you are proving that you don't follow the medical process. it's hard to measure mental health. you have to spend time they have to be your patient or you're just making stuff up. have you ever seen anything like that. president obama i was a huge smoker there was no comments about it. have you ever seen anything like that yesterday. it was extraordinary. present shop might be one of the most sane presidents we've head. ever since he won they have this agenda where they want to obstruct in every way possible. congratulations on excellent health. coming up the tree to dispute. the department of justice go straight to the supreme court to block present shop the very latest in the legal battle. is

exercised power, about usually you restrain the president or restrain the defendant just in the area where you sit. but when the defendant or his agents are present nationwide, and you believe the defendant is engaging in unconstitutional behavior what this judge found i don't agree with him but did he have authority to enjoin the president he did then the president said, we have to make these

white house communications after you separate from service at the white house that is why the subpoena was issued most tortured analysis of executive privilege i have ever heard of. >> we have been completely -- cooperative throughout this entire process we have to go we are going to continue to be cooperative but also going to maintain some of the executive privileges here at the white house, that have been practiced for decades. >> fox news learned bannon will return to speak to committee tomorrow corey lewandowski to testify today hope hicks would meet with committee as early as friday joining us former trump campaign manager avenue strategies partner cothour "let trump be trump" corey lewandows lewandowski democratically strategy robin, good to see you thanks for joining us. >> corey let me kick off with you you are testifying die reports you hired a lawyer to representative you over this is that accurate what can we expect. >> what you expect from me today exactly what you always get from me the truth i will be happy i said i will cooperate with any investigation, that they have, whether it is a congressional investigation or anybody else who wants to sit down and talk i will tell them that there was no collusion, there was no coordination no cooperation between our campaign when i was there, and any foreign entity if there was any those people should be held accountable maria this has been going on now over a year there has been no evidence whatsoever, that anything has tan place even dianne feinstein, the ranking member in senate judiciary committee has said she has seen no evidence whatsoever to show any collusion between trump campaign and russia so look, i will come talk to anybody, but in some point, we have to bring in investigation to a close. maria: robin do you agree with that? i mean at this point given where you have not seen any evidence of any collusion, and we know that there was in fact collusion at the top of the fbi and hillary clinton with all the bias going on there, and the protecting of hillary clinton what she was doing in terms of her he e-mail, yet there is no -- there is no focus there in the media? >> you know maria i just have to opinion, that this investigation we are not going to know exactly what o what there is to it at this point. the public certainly isn't privy to it so just let this investigation reason i its course, the president has been insisting he is innocent let this go unimpeded not a permanent staple on presidency. >> do you think there should be questions asked over this so-called insurance policy that fbi agent strzok was discussing was gifl at fbi did not want donald trump to win presidency said we need this as insurance policy, do you think that should be looked at? >> absolutely. i think that everything should be looked at, look at the investigation into bill clinton, that started off into a real estate transaction burst monica lewandowski scandal can go anywhere, i think fair game. >> corey one of the things talking about this morning is idea that the apparently bannon said he was told by white house not to discuss anything, as you just heard congressman gowdy talking about this new this new privilege. were you told not to discuss anything from the white house? >> no i wasn't, and what i have said to the members of the committee that asked me to come i volunteered to come bay bee i will be happy to talk to them happy to tell you anything what i think steve was saying is he will be happy to answer any questions, during his tenure on campaign, this investigation is truly about did russia clue with trump pain to embank outcome of the election talk about tenure on campaign if this investigation is about something completely different what a donald trump has done after president-elect or as president, that is a very different investigation. and steve from what i understand the reports are saying, is he is willing and was willing to talk about anything that took place while he was at campaign, but not while he was a chief strategy for the white house. >> -- reverse gears president trump expected to handed out fake news awards today he tweeted on

about dow 25,000 and dow 26,000, you rarely see articles or news reports, away from fox and fox business, of the 4% economic growth that is expected in 2018, instead you've got mainstream yee focusing

kettle black he is pushing outed fake news every single day, maria, maria look we have reporters every day, who are making up stories we saw -- abc stock market drops 350 points, you know in afternoon

fundamentals expecting 4% economic growth what can you tell us in terms of what you see. >> i think spectacular this is the most booming economy that i can ever remember experiencing, and i was -- 30 years old in 30s during reagan years this is energy here, is incredible, the business optimism, you hear a lot about the big companies and say i have got friends franchisees small business earns with our company other companies are talking about building used to talk how can i build how can i forward to pay for health care how to how at an i forward minimum wage increases now worried about competing for sites for real estate because there is so much demand so i think we will see 4% next year, i think we are going to see wage growth. >> the conversation, kevin has chaerngs from how am i going to pay for all lawyers and compliance officers that i need, to keep up with regulation to how am i going to grow, where am i going to invest for growth. >> yeah, i think andy is bringing up a great point and one of the reasons why we're seeing this because of current taxes environment right harder for u.s. xarpgs corporations to in united states than foreign corporations we saw that happen precipitously with deals from overseas, the tax environment wasn't beneficial are you seeing i am curious andy are the guys talking about -- pass-through entities deductions what is the main emphasis for them to invest and deploy capital into u.s. >> you invest when you believe your business is going up you can make a profit your costs are down enough you can manage distant enough profit willing to risk wealth time with a they are seeing is regulatory costs down tax costs down, optimism very high so anticipating growth, so it is you know this isn't rocket science if people can make money will invest in growth. and what we have during the obama years people they didn't believe they could make money so growth held gdp down, now wr seeing more investment even before, tax bill increase in investment took gdp to 3% now very, very substantial investment the problem for small businesses is dodd-frank. because killed a lot of community banks, but there are lenderers out there will continue to look for money and build so long as they believe they can make money at it. >> -- what are you seeing on regulator side i know for example on labor side baby object erie regulation around joint imperfect mandates, all this sort of regulation, are you seeing released in this in is to tax reform. >> absolutely joint employer and minimum wage. >> wages going up competition but not forced up to where you are reducing the profitability of companies actually competing for employees with growth, and -- was a very, very important for small businesses particularly franchise businesses because it looked like the franchisors larger companies are going to end up controlling labor costs that is not franchising at that point you are a subsidiary of big company entrepreneurs don't want that that is gone xeem very excited seeing a lot of building. >> the investment you had, morgan stanly 2007, the biggest capex spending happened mainly since president trump and business current administration low interest rates building capex do you see extra capex spent built with this repatriation, i just don't think a lot of capex because we have seen a lot of it. >> you know we have we have seen money come back yet you are not seeing it i think you will see it going forward. but the big where i see you know i look i would get same numbers everybody looks at bureau labor statistics look and see how much money -- conditions are us bureau whether -- gdp has gone up, you look at -- whether it is because people invested or not they have been saying during obama administration, people weren't vesting couldn't gdp down last two radiators saquart up. >> i was surprised -- repatriation rate we were talking 10%, 8% 15 1/2% do they have to bring money back at this point. >> i don't think they have to bring money back but i think they will want to bring it back people want to build and invest in united states. >> this -- they will -- >> if germany he can very he have in united states without a tax penalty bring money to invest if you make money i in german pay higher than 15 1/2 you won't bring back competitive with germany i think we will see it you have not seen it had why either. >> i was speaking to one vest pro this week said he spoke with last companies they own private equity guy said in europe, they are saying you know we were planning on investing in europe, but we are going to switch those plans going to invest in america, because of this tax plan, this is changing behavior across world. >> japan germany china expressed distress at fact we passed this tax bill good thing for us something we want in united states. >> -- if you looked at the worldwide averages 22 1/2% wouldn't 35 complete disadvantage now freaking out trying to fibering out if you look at the uk they are at 20% they are looking to go to 17 1/2%. >> the fastest on track running with leg weights just took them off. >> are you going back to white house? >> look, political -- i am glad you asked that ran an article claiming that i was getting an offer from the white house i told them that i hadn't heard anything about it called friends all said they heard nothing about it talked to friends in white house heard nothing about it they made this up basically the reraise salacious allegations from my divorce 30 years ago i have mad no discussions about going back, if the president asked me to mow lawn i would mow lawn whatever makes this administration work with i am leap to help right now focused on doing as private citizen enjoying myself i am having my wife said i would like to see you be secretary of labor would have been greatly good for the country but aren't we really having a lot more fun? that is she said it right. >> you must have an opinion about 18 states raised minimum wage. >> the key with minimum wage not to raise it above where competition has driven it, i think what we've seen with wal-mart going to 11 dollars an hour in a lot of -- in -- major sections of the country, that will set the minimum wage competition will set it, if you want the best employees if you are running a muffler shop restaurant competing with wal-mart for employees if you want best you have to meet their price, so if you are minimum wage goes from 7.50 to 8.50 to 9.350 at this point doesn't matter much economy growing such is a pace competition outed stripping government when government sets rates the only thing federal government can do is set the lowest possible rate, because if you don't places that are complieblg stressed bibbing birj ma'am memphis, tennessee if you drive them to 15 dollars an hour you hurt them you don't help anybody, so you can't set it to what you got what you got in seattle or san francisco you have to set it low. competition drives kind of like a tide drives to where tide goes wal-mart has taken big step moving to 11 i think people should be excited about that president obama wanted 10-10, wal-mart went to 11. >> if you were labor second lack would have been been very first thing you would have done in office. >> first thing i would have done try to get people in there help run the department teller is it i will the person i wanted to have my number two is same person alex acosta wants number two, and i have to the the person would be approved by mayor -- not approved so you got you go into this you go into the agency,
