Is preparing for a budget battle over one of his Biggest Campaign promises, the border wall. New details on the president s tax plan for tax reform. How the white house is making progress on President Trumps economic agenda. Among our guests this hour, we have steve hayes from the Weekly Standard, retired Lieutenant Colonel oliver north, and dr. Kelly ward, the arizona rebel challenging republican establishment senator jeff flake. He will not attend the president s rally tonight. She will. Interesting. Melissa back to markets, the dow surging today among new confidence in President Trumps progrowth agenda. Nicole petallides at new york stock exchange. Nicole, what started the rally . Up almost 200 points, best day in four months for the dow and whats driving the rally is less focus on everything politics and more on the big picture which is tax reform, fundamentals, earnings, back to what we used to be running up on in the first place. Here are some names that are driving the dow. You can see theyre all technology heavy. Cisco up 2 . Apple, microsoft, gaining big time. You were mentioning about tax reform. The idea some traders talking about Technology Companies have so much money overseas that they want to bring home. Also the nasdaq dropped below the 50 Day Moving Average and looking better today obviously. Taking a look at some other names including chevron which was on the move. Chevron had good profits in latest number, lower spending. News, chief executive john watson will step down by next month. Up half of 1 . Designer shoe warehouse, dsw is the correct name. That is 17 1 2 higher. For the first time dsw saw samestore sales rising 0. 6 . That is positive. Fewer markdown as and the like. After couple of weeks of selling where the dow lost 1. 9 , people are saying there are better valuations and they can scoop things up a little cheaper than couple weeks ago. Maybe theyre doing exactly that as well. Back to you. Melissa nicole, thank you so much for that. David stocks continuing to bounce back after today, after President Trump made what even some of his critics praised a high president ial order. Lets bring in the panel. Gary kaltbaum, from kaltbaum Capital Management and also a Fox News Contributor and bob cusack from the hill. Good to see you both. Gary, was there a bounceback or in connection with what the president said and how he said it last night . A combination of market being oversold, a lot of negativity built up last week. Getting away from the real bad week for the president last week, looking much more president ial last night, that did not hurt. Believe me what happens and emanates out of the white house does matter to markets. When you get the back and forth like weve seen last week or two, good to see something a little bit better. The markets did look at that today. David a president ial demeanor, bob, could help the president get his agenda passed. Well talk about tax cuts in a moment but what happens if tonight that whole president ial demeanor is wiped out by revert, how shall we put it more campaignstyle donald trump . Yeah that is the big question. He has to keep the momentum, continue to turn the page from his response to charlottesville. That was very, very tough week for the president but he gave a speech last night has been praised by many republicans. That is what they need. The Republican Party is so fractured especially after charlottesville, they go into fiscal battles, funding company, raising debt ceiling or tax reform, they have to be united. That has to happen real soon. Melissa Going Forward were expecting President Trump to make a more public push when it comes to tax reform and Speaker Paul Ryan is remaining confident tax reform will be a lot easier than health care. I think it will be far easier for us to do tax reform than it was say for health care reform. The entire tax cut bill, tax reform bill can go through one bill in the house and senate. Procedurally makes it much easier. Melissa oh, bob what do you think . Should we get our hopes up . I think it will be very difficult to pass tax reform. When youre revamping the well tax code as speaker ryan said, he was in high school when that happened in 1986. That has been a long time and there is a reason for that. I think they can get something done on tax cuts, but reforming the entire tax code, you have winners and have losers and you have lobbying fights. I eventually think they go to plan b, i think they have a decent tax cuts but not the biggest tax cut in history as the president said. Melissa were hearing, gary, that the legislation is done. Steve mnuchin has done all the work. He is incredibly capable, were hearing from our own reporters, tony sayegh, who is very talented coms person moving into the white house. There is debate whether that happens or not. They know what theyre doing. Theyre on message. They have to get the president on board to sell it. What do you think about that . They sound like theyre organized . Here is my problem, you hear paul ryan it is so easy to do, why wasnt it down three months ago . Hope there is something there. Here is my biggest problem, im reading inside the tax reform are tax hikes to pay for tax cuts which means wheres anything . So if youre going to redistribute the money from one place to the other, youre doing absolutely nothing. We have got to change the trajectory of government spending, how much money is paid by the taxpayer into government. It is crushing the potential of this economy. So im keeping fingers crossed that they get this right, but what im reading today, i was not thrilled at all. David no rate hikes. Get rid of some deductions but no rate hikes. Senator Bernie Sanders once again pushing socialist ideas to the Democratic Base in ohio today. Take a listen. Why is it that the United States of america is the only major country on earth not to guarranty health care to all people . David so, bob, is bernies socialism, not just health care, it is a lot of other things, is bernies brand of socialism the accepted platform of the Democrat Party . I think short answer is yes. David wow. The Democratic Party is moving in that direction. Singlepayer insurance david bob, i hate to correct you. That is socialized medicine. That is what singlepayer medicine. Government paying for all. David that is socialism. One thing democrats dont talk about how to pay for it, especially if it talks 10 of trillions of dollars. David socialists never do. Look at cosponsors in the house, half of democrats in the house cosponsored the legislation. Bernie will introduce it in the senate. New litmus test for democrats, is this type of health care system. David gary you dont have to have anybody pay for it because it is free. It is free. Nobody pace forit, right . Are americans going to buy into the socialist myths, gary, what do you think . First off, Bernie Sanders talking about the economy, i might as well be talking about brain surgery and nuclear physics. Look, the guy has never created a dime of wealth. Never david but will americans. We know but will americans buy into it, quickly . Hell no, because the guy doesnt have a clue. Amazing when he ran for president he said i will raise taxes on middle class, dont worry i give you more back in return, since when has that ever happened. Keep doing that and eif the democrats win any election Going Forward if he is the face of the party. Melissa so will the president have have 2020 challenger from Silicon Valley . President trump is viewing Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg as a potential threat in the 20 20 election. This is new report from politico. Gary, will he have to be 35 to run for president . Is zuckerberg like 10 . He has the bucks. If trumps poll numbers keep heading south, yogi bear could run for president and probably win. His numbers are that bad. It will not be zuckerberg. My bet is howard schultz. Many others coming out of the woodwork. Expect a bunch coming out of the Republican Party going after him in the primary. Melissa bob, zuckerbergs number two, cheryl samburg wants to run for office. There could be 100 democrats running. Youre right. Donald trump will be primaried in 2020. He has to look over his shoulder but on democratic side youre hearing new names, nonconventional people, not politicians, because there is no sure thing on the democratic side. Melissa absolutely. Gary, bob, thank you. David gary, bob, my new alist guys. Theyre sister risk. The commanderinchief unchief unveiling his plan for americas longest war, vowing that america will win in afghanistan. Coming up, steve hayes from the Weekly Standard and retired Lieutenant Colonel oliver north respond to the president s address to the nation and his new strategy for the military. Melissa the president is set to arrive in yuma, arizona. The grand canyon state is the Battle Ground for big ticket agenda items, immigration, the border wall, health care. Later this hour, well speak to kelli ward, a primary challenger for arizona senator jeff flake. President trump recently criticized senator flake for being quote, toxic. Will ward work to drain the swamp if elected . David plus the president s again today facing an uphill battle on capitol hill. Former congressman Jason Chaffetz weighing in on what should be republicans number one priority. Lets hope it is that tax cut. Me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. Hold on dad. Liberty did what . Yeah, Liberty Mutual 24hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. My dad says our insurance doesnt have that. Dont worry i know what a lug wrench is, dad. Is this a lug wrench . Maybe . You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. David next stop, arizona, President Trump turning to Campaign Style rally in phoenix one day after outlining his new strategy for americas longest war in afghanistan the our own blake burman is at the white house. I bet youre glad youre not in the 104degree heat but not stopping thousands waiting for the president. Reporter not as bad in d. C. As it is in arizona. There is campaigntile rally tonight in phoenix. President lands in yuma, arizona, for an event with customs and Border Protection and speak with marines there. After that he heads over to phoenix. A whole lot of intrigue with this one, remains to be seen if the president will weigh into the questions surrounding controversial sheriff there, joe arpaio, whether or not the president may or may not give a pardon to mr. Arpaio. There are two republican senators in that state, that have drawn the ire of the president in recent weeks and months, that being jeff flake who the president described as toxic. As you know it was senator john mccain who eventually sunk the health care legislation. This speech, also in phoenix, potentially gives the president another vehicle, another outlet to talk about his new strategy in afghanistan that he laid out last night. On this day self top members within the administration pitching a new strategy which focuses not only on afghanistan but out asia, the south asia strategy theyre calling it and specifically pakistan, trying to put more pressure on that country. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said today there has been an erosion of trust with the neighboring country to afghanistan. We have witnessed terrorist organizations being given safe haven inside of pakistan to plan and carry out attacks against u. S. Servicemen, u. S. Officials, disrupting peace efforts inside of afghanistan. Pakistan must adopt a different approach. Reporter and, david, tillerson also did not rule out the possibility of eventually conducting operations inside pakistan. David . David very interesting. Blake burman, thank you very much. Melissa. Melissa here now is steve hayes, Weekly Standard editorinchief and also a Fox News Contributor. First of all, lets do afghanistan. Sure. Melissa what did you think about the speech, the tone, tenor, content, where does it put us . I think the speech was pretty good. This is one of President Trumps better moments. Just what you were talking about with blake was the most important part. I think the most significant policy development in the war on terror weve seen in this young administration, that is challenging pakistan. Pakistan basically had a free hand to play both side for years now. Melissa yeah. And they have done that, particularly after the United States took out Osama Bin Laden in a in abbottabad in may of 2011. Melissa he goes to arizona. He is threading a needle. He ride as good wave after the speech. He has support of senator mccains support, dangling in front of him, as senator mccain sort of blew up the whole repeal and replace thing. How do you think he handles that . This will be one of the interesting questions. This will be one of the interesting rallies weve seen him do since he became president. The environment as you say. Melissa loaded. We dont know. He came off a pretty rough week in the aftermath of charlottesville. He gave what was regarded as pretty good speech last night, providing outlines of an afghanistan policy now he is headed to arizona. Traditional white house you would say to the president , stay on message. Your afghanistan speech was reasonably wellreceived. You had your surrogates in Rex Tillerson, mike pence, out promoting it today. This is the time to go, amplify what you said last night and try to build on that, and build popular support. But as you point out, there are some other things we know when he gets in front of an audience feeds off of that audience and often goes off message. Melissa can you imagine how far a message of unity would go tonight . This is set up, this is the perfect opportunity, to step up and Say Something he doesnt even have to specifically talk about anything thats happened recently that has been problematic but just to talk about on the heels of last night in the afghanistan thing to talk about bringing the country together, getting back to work, moving forward . What do you think . Yeah, i mean he did that a little bit at the beginning of the speech last night. It was a little it felt a little awkward, right . We knew he was responding to charlottesville, doing some cleanup work there. Then transitioning into afghanistan but i thought the way he did it actually came off pretty well. I think he could build on that tonight if he wanted to and build on those themes, draw some of them out. In my view, i didnt think handled charlottesville very well. Stuart right. Because we know the president is somebody pretty candid with people i would acknowledge that yeah, i didnt say this maybe the way i had hoped i would say it. I screwed it up, but let me just tell you what i think. That could actually be pretty effective for him. Melissa it could, although i get nervous, anytime you retread back over territory, i dont know. Steve, well all be watching, right . We will be. It will be interesting. Melissa thanks for coming on my friend. Stay tuned to fox business for complete coverage and analysis of the president s rally in phoenix tonight starting at 9 00 p. M. Eastern time. David it will be a very interesting rally. North korea sending another warning to the United States what seems like an endless amount of threats, but, Rex Tillerson, our secretary of state, just giving us reason to be hopeful about north korea. Well tell you what that was. Melissa plus, President Trump praised by many after laying out his strategy for the war in afghanistan. Retired Lieutenant Colonel oliver north gives us his take after the break. The way he squared his shoulders and said to the american people, and said to the world, here is what we need to do for our safety and our security, couldnt make me more proud. Switch to flonase allergy relief. Flonase outperforms the 1 nondrowsy allergy pill. When we breathe in allergens, our bodies react by overproducing 6 key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. Flonase helps block 6. Most allergy pills only block one and 6 is greater than 1. With more complete relief you can enjoy every beautiful moment to the fullest. Flonase. 6 is greater than 1 changes everything. My original insting was to pull out and historically i like following my instincts but all my life i have heard that decisions are much different, when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. In other words, when youre president of the United States. So i studied afghanistan in great detail and from every conceivable angle. David President Trump admitting last night he had a change of heart on afghanistan from when he was on the campaign trail but why . To retired Lieutenant Colonel oliver north, host of war stories, proudly shown every weekend on fox business. Colonel, what do you think the president heard that made him change his mind . No doubt, he has listened to his generals. He listened to the troops. He listened to a lot of folks. David what are they telling him . First his acknowledgement he changed his mind. One of many surprises, in that very surprising speech. Here is ano
