colonel, what do you think? how significant is this in terms of moving the needle on jobs coming back to america? enacted significant because it talks about a mindset we need to have. that got to get manufacturing reignited in this country. there is a bigger issue than just this executive order. we need to have the text affirms the businesses can go out there and hire americans. but we also need

tragedies from happening. bush at technology companies be doing? >> to understand this problem has got to step back and look at the context of how we ended up here. the last 10, 20 years, silicon valley operated in our own bubble. they've created tremendous wealth but they've operated sio away from the rest of the market. now for the first te, chair and a straight knockout bid for many other. the growth opportunities are coming for a brief thinking these traditional industries can traditional industries can the government sector traditional industries, government sectors, and media sectors, retail retirement planning, et cetera. facebook are almost finding themselves in it should not be one of the largest media companies in the world. it's a challenging issue because it was never built originally, you don't have the safeguards and regulations that allow you to tackle these issues without dealing with public. been up for someone bright and intelligent as mark zuckerberg there's a rush to get products to market and deal with problems on the road. that's exactly what this update. they push it out in 20 and didn't even think that it would be used this way? granted 60 sensitive video set of 2 billion users is a drop in the bucket. but they have a small team of contractors basically parsing the video content on facebook live and is just unacceptable. the >> it's easy to point out the flaws and any model. i could even take fox news and even take fox's advocate issues over the last 10 years from the 60th 2 billion. the challenges when it does happen and becomes an issue, how do you handle it? s. a mindset shift we are starting to see now which is we are not just operating. we are playing in the bigger sector that the fact that hundreds of millions of people if not aliens. they need to work with each other because the problem is the video card out and can't repurpose and peered >> they didn't take the video down pure >> what about a.i. mark zuckerberg talked about the fact that a.i. can help locate faster so it's not literally people reported in clipping which was a huge amount of time. the tenology is not going to really do that for a couple years. >> this is where things get interesting. part thompson at "the new york times" "new york times" "new york times" yesterday having the exact debate about what do we do with this. this is actually an opportunity for partners to approach this insight rather than hobgoblin of facebook's office, building on an editorial to rethink the idea of editorial for this new world. that's a combination not a just years out, but a combination of human classic a.i. if you approach the problem in the right mindset which is the biggest challenge. came across source, but the realities once the videos online, it will be a thousand markley says. is there a better way to take it done quicker? >> are definitely yes. in a world where an individual can post them in a number of plot arms, that still doesn't solve the problem. if you can think about editorial as a feature, you can start to protect and prevent these videos even if they get out of the first place. maria: went to move on and ask ask you about technology because tender acquired your company and now you're looking at product development. tell us for the growth growth is a big technology from your standpoint. >> we are

the one they'll spent more time watching tv than actual traditional tv. maria: snapchat unveils this world, the program that lets you add 3-d objects to your photos using the olympus. >> that's right. it's interesting timing because you see user growth has slowed. when they look at it from a traditional industry standpoint, they obviously pushed out the new tv if you will,ut tnow see content production. you saw $2 billion of creation. snapchat is a more innovative way. the >> got a focus on augmented reality or virtual reality like oculus. focusing on cutting-edge techniques. try it nice to how it works. you can't see it, but then it's in front of you. >> is fascinating to everyone always talks about these revolutionary technologies that things are going to change the world. it has come out more incrementally. when zuckerberg talked about the phone screen and not with glasses. that was one of the most important statements understanding what technology is moving. maria: the classes will get smaller. that will also enable different uses. >> this is interesting for people who watch the show. mixed reality is not just fun for content creation and all of that. it will let us

market failures upfront in his entrepreneurs to innovate against market leaders not just throwing things out. people no cairo's is a summit of tech leaders. that is coming in investing in young entrepreneurs in this space. a space innovation in society so fast, but there's such a disconnect between our world and other industries. government hasn't changed the way we think about retirement

you're close to the action and you have to allocate capital, do you expect tax reform and what kind of impact is that going to have on money? >> i think that investors have pulled forward a lot of gains, in anticipation the quick tax reform bill. maria: and? >> a as result of that, it's ing to be a little delayed in terms of how that possibly impacts this year. maria: do you think the market selloffs because of that? >> the markets will sell ah as people for tax reform, sure. kevin: we have financials reporting and it's been a mixed bag because there was a giant run-off, should people focus on technology and start looking at individual security. i'm looking at the financial space, cboe or the nasdaq or something like that or insurance companies, where should investors be placing their bets in this type of market. >> yeah, kevin, i think investors have start today shift focus when the election had occurred and they've shifted it to technology over the last month or so, i think that for longer-term investors which is what we end up focusing on, there's going to be great opportunity for financials but it's not going to be the first half of this year. it's later on in the year, next year, i think it's going to take a long time for some of the tax reforms and some of the other administrative fiscal policies to take place. maria: yesterday we saw a report to goldman sachs from leading clients and said we are not expecting tax reform till the fourth quarter, you're already seeing major wall street firm set expectations and it's not the summer time. dagen: we deserve praise if we get it done this year. it's still possible. maria: this year. dagen: if we go -- get et done in the second half of the year. that's a potential positive for the economy, that would be a -- markets anticipate the future so if it's going to happen in the fourth quarter, you want to buy the market, when, during the summer? >> it takes a while for some of these things, once they are put into place for companies to get traction, so you're not going to see a lot of that impact on earnings until 2018 and beyond and so i think that markets are anticipating that as you would suggest. kevin: we are starting to see the ten-year treasury on the yield side. people are caulking -- talking about the yield curve. maria: if we don't see tax reform and health care reform this year, the u.s. goes into recession. that's what those yields tell me. kevin: exactly, are you positioning more to fixed income or how are you managing the clients' assets right now. >> without any assistance on the fiscal policies, that typically is a slowdown to maria's point. however, do i think if you do get any inside into 2008 in terms of fiscal traction, the place that we would think is attractive to getting to tips now. inflation is only priced add for two years at the moment. that's well below what history suggests. kevin: people are signaling that inflation. >> later on, i think that's right. maria: thank you so much for joining us. >> of course. maria: we will watch this market, coming up, more on the breaking news of former new england patriots star aaron was found dead in

maria: you would think. >> completely insensitive and they need to get on it. kevin: so maybe they consistently send this out and maybe that could have been the situation but you're right, who is doing the checking and reviewing on such a sensitive situation. >> completely ridiculous. kevin: if you think about it on all social media and everywhere else everybody was celebrating the boston marathon. it wasn't like it was not in the headlines. for them to be completely tone-deaf with everything -- >> like the pepsi commercial too. companies get on it. you have to be more careful about

behind bars and came out and changed your life, how did you do it? >> the choices that i made. i think life is all about the opportunities and challenging that demand some kind of response and in my case it was the choices that i did every day that allowed me to define who i wanted to be. the reality for me, i didn't want to be defined by my first moment, i wanted to have the ability, the privilege to write my story differently so for me i'm pretty -- i have a story of perseverance, i have a story of hope and faith which is really about the choices that you get to make that give you the privilege that write the rest of your story. maria: tell the audience why you were incarcerated? >> i was driving in 1998 with my father, we made a mistake and drank too much, missed turned drunk, i woke up in a center in minnealis, iould see something was teibly wrong, i was in pces, i was in a lot of pain but my mom said, your dad didn't make it and i have to tell you, you don't know what pain is until you hear something like that. torment, it was ugly and then i was in the hospital in pieces and the gentleman led me to --it better at that point. i went to to a trial and ended up going to jail and the whole time i'm doing this i'm trying to keep my job, family together, i had three young kids and had a wife and you're trying to manage through all of that and it was -- everyday was about me getting up and about the choices that i made and i describe somebody who has a small rear-view mirror in a giant windshield. i learned from the past but it's about looking forward. and for me, i was getting up every day, whether i was chunking to get up to the day, some days it was get through the day but i've always had the vision and clarity about what i wanted to do and what i wanted to become. dagen: using the serenity prayer, that really helps you focus on your faith. maria: you're right. dagen: accept what i can't change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference, we don't talk about faith enough in this country, i think. >> the faith was a foundation -- i didn't have a faith until this gentleman came to the hospital and led me to face, it was pretty powerful. and so for me the foundation was extremely strong. i went for a trial for six months and i don't know if you've ever been in a nightmare and you closed your night and when you wake up you're thinking about it, faith gave me peace and that peace let me sleep and meet my lawyers, go to my job, deal with the family issues, but, yeah, when i didn't know it existed to that accident. maria: five bold choices, you keep saying, i made certain choices, give us the choices? >> choices like clarity, do you know where you're going and trying to do, i knew i wanted to be a ceo,

me, though, does that not bother you in terms of all the money coming in from hollywood to georgia in it's not the actual georgians who are making the decision. kevin: it's not their constituents. he's not going to be representing hollywood when he gets to dc. maria: the money is coming from outside of georgia which is the problem. kevin: and he still didn't win. >> and he doesn't live in the district. [laughter] >> he couldn't go vote for himself. maria: we are watching the georgia race. coming up this morning to join the conversation the chairman john scali is with us to give us landscape in technology where growth east. south carolina senator lindsey graham stops today and vice chairman of k2 intelligence ray kelly in the house this morning. do stay with us for all of those important guests. breaking news this morning, fox news confirm that had former new england patriots star and convicted murderer aron hernández has found dead in prison cell, hernández reportedly committed suicide using a bed sheet to hang himself. senator, what a story, your reaction? >> well, the real strategy is the victim, the person that he murdered and their family and the young child that are left behind. it's just a tragic story all around. i'm a season ticket holder, such a waste of talent and a waste of life that affected so many lives but when you take somebody who is so athletic and outgoing and free spirit and put him in a cage, jail cell for the rest of their life, obviously something is going to happen. maria: what happened with aron hernández, unfortunately, i have to point out that this is also the day that the new england patriots are going to the white house, very sad. scott: the irony is not last, maria. the day when patriots have a chance to change, this obviously detracts from it. i don't know if it was intentional or not to send a miami, but the whole thing is just tragic all around. maria: it's absolutely tragic. switch gears for a minute here because we have a special election in georgia, sixth congressional district fail to go produce a winner last night forcing a june 20th democrat between john assof and the winner will succeed tom price who resigned to become the health and human services secretary. president trump posted several tweets encouraging republicans to vote on this election including this one, scott, give us your reaction. despite major outside money, fake media support, 11 republican candidates, big republican win with run-off in georgia, glad to be of help, assof received 48% of the vote. how do you see this, is this a victory for the republicans? scott: actually it is because everything was put into the democrat actually getting over the 50% mark and really he should have and the fact that he doesn't live in the district and so many republicans on the other side, yeah, i think they're in trouble in june and every special election as you know, i ran in a special election and is different, this one being georgia, down in the south, more conservative, all the republicans are going to unit behind the former secretary of state and you will get another victory in georgia for the republicans, but the president needs in these special elections, he needs to do what obama did, get a little earlier, long before one or two weeks, he needs to start laying the ground work so he's not just out there for a short period of time. people need to know that he's a vested interest in the seats. >> senator, i'm wondering when you look at the strategy post 2016 election, democrats are looking at these rings of suburbs that surround the urban areas, kind of their next target, sixth district being a prime example of that where you have a lot of republican who is weren't necessarily crazy about, you know, president trump when he was running but big fans of mitt romney and other moderate republicans, do you think that's a winning strategy for them or do you think that republicans have got that area on lockdown and are they preparing for 2018 to hold those suburban areas? >> well, kristin, great question. it didn't work in the last special election and didn't work in this particular election had those republicans actually came out -- come out for the democrat he would have won and gotten over 50%. i don't think any of those -- those bl dog moderate republicans are going to vote for somebody who doesn't even live in the district and who is being supported by all those -- outside hollywood money, so it's a -- it's going to be tough uphill battle obviously for the democrats in this georgia race. dagen: senator, it's dagen mcdowell, it's comical when these hollywood celebrities with sam jackson voicing that radio ad for ossoff, always point out to alison who was running against mitch mcconnell, ben affleck, leo dicaprio and it didn't work either and southerners particularly have a problem when we can call it southern tourism, when people start sticking their nose in our business. scott: well, you would know better than most in that situation. [laughter] scott: the southerners that i know are territorial about their turf and they don't want anyone from hollywood or anyone from new york or massachusetts coming in and telling them how to vote and when to vote and where to vote. they want to rely on the fact that this person lives here and they're going to do good by georgia. here is what i find so interesting, though, and a lot of of folks, say, i'm not seeing this movie, pretty soon, you're not going to be able to go and watch the movies because i and others won't be supporting actress and actors. maria: do you think people will react to this and will be impact to star who is brought politics into their lives? we will see about that on whether or not it comes to haunt them. how abt president ump signing bill today, continuity of care. press secretary sean spicer weighed in on it, senator, i want to get your reaction, listen to this. >> on twens president will sign the veterans choice act. the president is proud to sign the legislation which passed unanimously by the senate earlier this month, the bill ensure that is veterans have certainty and continuity of care while this administration works with congress to develop a plan that reforms the va system and gives our nation's heros the care that they deserve. maria: what do you think senator? cot scott first of all, i served for 35 years and worked at the pentagon and was on the veterans committee and certainly it's another good first step but so many systematic problems within the va, not only dealing with the appeal process where there's -- there are upwards of hundreds of thousands of appeals still pending, you still have high suicide rate, high opioid use and so many things that still need to be done and i'm so glad that the president and the new va secretary are focusing on those things but they need to have all-hands approach because people are still getting second-class treatment, good first step but they need to do more. dagen: what about the suicide hotline, senator that donald trump promised, a hotline directly to the white house, we need to see that, don't we? scott: i don't disagree, dagen. there are many efforts dealing with suicide. anybody who is even -- even closely remotely thinking about it, whether it's through job loss, through dependency on opioids, you have to outsource a lot of that stuff immediately and get into with the law enforcemend with the police chiefs and fire chiefs to know who those veterans coming back are so you can do a immediate reach-out through veterans office to make sure there's a great line of communication between the authorities, the veteran and their families because those are where the communication lines start and end. maria: good to see you, thanks so much. coming up law enforcement investigating a shooting spree in fresno california. a gunman killed 3 people yesterday, why police say it's not an act of terrorism even though he was yelling. the manhunt for the cleveland facebook murder suspect coming to an end tragically as well. how the social media network plans to do more to prevent incident. back in a moment ostriches don't really stick their heads in the sand. a peanut is not a nut. and a real john deere is actually real affordable. you learn something new everyday. the surprisingly affordable john deere e series tractors. now you can own america's tractor for just $99 a month. learn more at your john deere dealer.

>> health care spends $3 trillion a year, made $900 billion is wasted and a lot of is because there's no transparency into the cost of health care. we focus at rx advance at the most expensive part of the system, 5% of the system that are chronically ill, $1.5 trillion spent, no transparency in terms of the drugs this that's are taking typically 15 to 25 pills a day and the physicians writing the scripts, they are competent but they don't know what the other physicians are writing their prescriptions and so there's a lot of duplication, there's side effects, you have to have drug adherence, people take pills daily, none is being managed effectively. kevin: employers can fix the health care, so you have 20 large employers put together and they can negotiate the price of health care with that buying group. do you see that as another way to help the system and how can the government help assist that in. >> well, i'm not really into the policy said of it. we are working with the state governors, i was just out with governor john kasich about ten days ago, he's faced like many governors are cost of medicaid, those funds, huge opioid problem as governor -- senator brown was talking to you earlier about. so we were showing the governor and we are doing this with other governors around the country that there's the opportunity to save billions of dollars on medicaid, the governors have the authority to actually get things done and we think that's one of the places to go in and really focus, take medicaid and take literally billions of dollars of costs out of it by opening up transparency and giving ways to do -- kevin: they're looking at it on their budget. >> most of them have to balance budgets. >> you talk about the private sector innovation and technology generally can do so much to help cut down on the health care costs, what response are you seeing from politicians who are all policy -- just thinking about the legislation, how do you -- h dyou rely create and expand this influence of what you're doing so the people get it and actually does help make changes? >> it's a great question because politicians are focused on things that politicians like to focus on which is policy, it's subsidies, who pays for what, ideology, what hasn't been factored yet, kristen is why can't we deliver health care at lower costs, why can't we take same advances, machine learning and develop process automation to be able to go and look at the entire -- maria: what's the answer to that? you speak to heather, it's the pharmacy-benefit managers that's part of the structure, part of the reason that prices are as high as they are. she's saying, yeah, we raised the price of epipen, let's not forget i have to give the portion to the pharmacy benefit managers, is that true at rx advanced? >> she's absolutely correct that the pharmacy benefit management industry is running on technology that was designed 25 years ago, 400 large computers, computing, things that haven't adapted to the world that we have today with cloud commuting. -- computing, why hasn't it happened? because health care is so complex with thousands of rules and special interests and things of that sort. what we did at rx advance, 16 years of experience building companies and our team understands the complexity of health care but they're also experts in process automation and machine learning. dagen: until you change the way americans receive their health insurance, you have the vast majority of people get their health insurance through their company and there is no price transparency at all and people are essentially encouraged to consume the most amount of health care even if they don't need it d that's one of the things not just with drugs but just the health care in general that drives up process and there's no movement at all in washington to change that. >> dagen, you are so right. just imagine what jeff bezos would do. i just read letter to shareholders, terrific letter, if you haven't read it. what he talks about is you have to focus on the customer, this case is the patient or the person owning the health plan, you have to have transparency, we know how to do that with technology and you can relook the entire system in terms of costs and we can dramatic -- we the industry can dramatic lower cost of the industry. all these other industries are doing this. why hasn't it happened in health care? maria: amazon doesn't have the same sort of handcuffs on it than a health care provider would or a health care company would because they're not regulate the way the fda regulates health care. jeff bezos has been successful and innovative but is it apples to apples? >> great point, maria. because after i left apple i went to regulated industries, i went to telecommunications, i'm in health care. these are all regulated industries. high-tech tends to steer clear of regulated industries because they are complex, easier places to go. maria: too many bureaucracies. kevin: the money suck. >> let's have the patience to learn the complexity of these regulated industries, believe me, there's huge opportunities in regulated industries but you have to learn the rules, thousands of protocols and press -- precedents and issues that you have to deal with. maria: would the policy come out of washington -- the roll back of regs? >> i think there's some good moves that washington can make but the reality is whats being proposed by both democrats and republicans isn't a solve of the problem that the president set aspirations for. the republican plan basically takes a trillion dollars out over ten years and they'll be fewer people covered, the democrats don't have a plan and why not shift the focus to what the real way to solve it which is to go in and say, wait a minute, we can deliver health care in a much less expensive way and companies like rx advance won't be the only one you have to be role model. maria: thank you so much, sir. we will be right back .. maria: good morning thank you for joining us. happy wednesday. your top stories right now. 7:30 a.m. on the east coast. newly minted justice prepares for his first blockbuster case since taking the bench. bearded spirit of the story on washington this morning. james gorman calling the quarter one of the strongest in recent years. nonetheless that is one of the standouts on the upside. take a look at markets right now. you see it is up about 25 points. it's all about earnings today. ibm is down the this can be one limit a quarter of a%. in asia over overnight. mixed performances to report. a massive asteroid set to fly by earth today. iconic runway trends. and starbucks gives the frappuccino a magical new look. with the new unicorn drink that the company is a little leasing leasing into the wild today. neil courses could be the key vote. i'm still laughing about the unicorn. it's unbelievable. not a good color. let's talk about this case that focuses on church versus state. >> the state of missouri decides to offer money to every school in the state to repave playgrounds for a softer susa -- softer surface. every school in the state applies for and every school gets it except those that are run by religious institutions. even the secular part of it. so this church sues the state of missouri and loses all the way up. the case is appealed to the supreme court. the supreme court agreed to hear the case and there can hear it today. the issue is that the refusal of the state of missouri to give money equally to all schools isolate religious schools and constitute antagonism towards it or is at the type of neutrality between church and state. it's a little odd twist. i think that she could it's a good all schools religious or not. is there still a case or controversy when the school there as that is suing is now not likely to get its money. when he was judge gorsuch he wrote many opinions including the famous hobby lobby one which stands for the proposition that the government may not interfere with your religious liberties and they must treat entities the same. translate most people expect them to be against the state of missouri and on the side of this church. translate five-four this is important because it goes back to school choice as were are starting to see more states up and implement the savings accounts where they can actually apply where they want the funds to go. >> obviously a catholic school. >> to your point the supreme court has held many times that the state can aid the secular part of the school if the school is on fire the states fires department can come if it's a catholic mass in the morning and is blocking traffic the police can direct traffic. the state wants to provide busing to students it can do that. it can't buy communion wafers up but it can help the secular part of these religious entities. if they're they are able to get federal funding like this let's say you have an administration that is not very favorable is there that risk. most of the laws that govern for example they had exemptions for religious institutions. even though other employers cut it assist on it because it has a religious belief. there are exceptions to the way the government must treat religions to keep them from interfering. is neil gorsuch going to be the swing about on that? >> this very subject matter in which he has extraordinary expertise let's quickly get your take on what went on in syria in terms of the president's foreign policy. if the president of the united states want to use military force there are certain preconditions. is it defensive is someone about to attack us. so in the case of syria he has the authority to make the decision but he has to make it consistent with the treaties that we signed. working from the united states. they certainly have missiles that can reach south korea. can we take out those muscles preemptively the answer is yes. syria is a different story. the president may not had liked what happened nobody does. it is not likely to become a threat to the united states. two different foreign policies two different actual in one case syria. the use of military force. >> the empire state building gets a makeover. starbucks putting it in the cup. back in a minute. think your large cap equity fund has exposure to energy infrastructure mlps?
