"the new york times" and "washington post" are out there this morning saying the two men are diametrically opposed. obama was a big proponent of abortion and euthanasia, gay marriage, embryonic stem cell research, gender ideology. men and women searching. okay, that's what the pope said was demonic. they'll never hear the media talk about that. you said that the controversy about climate change. there is no catholic teaching on climate change. we have a stewardship towards the environment this is a full controversy because they love the pope because he is left on social and economic issues than they hate the president. they're simpler to figure out. maria: easy to figure out, but persistent. as the program points out, here we are covering the first international trip and went trip and what do we see in all the media, all the coverage about russia and its nonexisting collusion that continues to be driven down. what is the end result? something has to give. the media cannot stand the senate so we hear about is that they want to cover and a bias towards everything. a >> i woke up this morning and listened to radio and they said there's a picture of the president and the pope and the president is smiling, the pope is not. i met with the pope gave when he needs come he shakes your hand. when you have a still picture, he sits there. imagine if trump has to look in his face and the pope is laughing. imagine that the narrative would be dead. if the two were sitting there, don't face the press. maria: was going on their heads? >> i've never seen my subjective reporting in my life than what a lot of these major media reporters are doing now. maria: dagen, heidi see how do u see it? transfer the press would reall tries to put words in the mouth of the holy theater by asking the senate questions. how does the vatican react to this? they don't. they just move on and they know who the people are. they know what is important. they not the most clear messages to send. i love watching pope francis work a crowd in case baby after baby and that is what's important. it's not what the press writes about. it visuals and images they put out there. >> they are concerned about national security. the president of the united dates has to be concerned about arms. the pope is my last, but on the moral issues, he's very good. you will not hear too much about that. the pope is concerned about the poor. trump is in the position he could get jobs and it's not a good job owner. >> this is a great shepherd. everybody seems to love this pope. it is a departure bill when he published some of the materials he did on global warming. i can't remember another pope stepping out in saying this is my view on the environment. what is your reaction that it feels like he's far afield. >> he got too deep into the weeds. if you read the document, he says he's against air conditioning. i can guarantee you the pope has a/c in the vatican. maria: he gave pope francis a collection of writings in return pope francis gave a matter which symbolized peace and books and family as well. what do you make of the exchange of guess? >> i don't think there's a whole lot there. martin luther king is the hero i'm sure the pope accepted that. again, the media were not there. that's just it. you look at the photo off and go back to these controversies and things of that nature. so far this trip has been a success and that's bad news for the media. >> you mention all the social issues on which president trump and pope francis would agree. president trump doesn't talk about them as much as people on the left talk about social issues, whether it is the issue of gay marriage and abortion. you know why, for a political leader that's importing united states because it's a separation of church and state. literally rather than going on about it, leaving it up to somebody's religion and religious leaders. it's a personal decision for those individuals. i praise triumph for not talking about it as much as the left likes to talk about things like abortion. >> if anything, all i've been told it's a separation of church and state. how many people are saying they want the president to take cues from the pope. we have a president who's supposed to listen to rob? i thought yours was the other way around. but the president do what he wants. now all of a sudden we are obedient to him. they need to get prints a blanket on the same page. maria: venezia man to your list. >> they are horrible these days. maria: they hate the president. thank you or your input. o'donoghue joining us. three additional arrests made in connection with the attack in manchester. the u.k. has raised its terror threat level to a level of critical comment in another attack be imminent. we'll bring you the details for the dire warning from the prime minister to resume after this break. president trump on the first leg of the foreign trip but that prime minister after sitting down early this morning. i've covered just does trip continues. stay with us.

welcome back to breaking news on the manchester terror attack. police say dreamer people have been arrested in connection to the bombing it comes as britain is raising the terror threat level to the highest level in a decade. craig talcott, good morning to you. >> hi, maria. a couple developments in the past hour and the the investigation took a horrendous attack monday night at the concert in the arena just behind where we are standing right now. three more people arrested. we are told by the greater manchester police in the southern part of the city. it is believed that these three could be connect it, could be part of the support network for the attacker and we are getting brand-new figures on the horrible casualties that this attack along with a 22 dead, we now learned there were 64 people in eight area hospitals being treated for wounds. 20 of them are icritical condition and as we know, many of them are young people, teenagers coming even children. prime minister to resubmit overnight addressing the very strong statement. she has raised the terror threat level to critical. the first time that's happened in 10 years here meaning that a terror attack could be a minute, that there could be preparations being made for that and to that end she has present in the 3800 british troops on high alert deploying some of them in critical locations. also, more information about the attacker, 22-year-old salman abedi book the explosives outside the arena that did so much damage. he is a dish or in a libyan refugee parents. his family is a conservative muslim family. there are reports now that he was radicalized at least in the last two years and he's bad on police radar. he had just come back from libya. some reports that his contact with isis and terrorists. here is in fact a little but more of what teresa and they had to say about all of this. >> we cannot ignore that there is a wider group of individuals linked to this attack. the threat level should be increased for the time being from severe to critical. this means thaeir assessment of not oy that an attack remains highly likely, but that a further attacks may be imminent. >> another british official confirming this morning that the government here does believe that this attacker did have help basically because of the nature of the bomb to use, is packed with shrapnel to do absolutely devastating harm. that's the kind of injuries and death we have seen in the mideast are now here in the heart of europe. again, the starting for their lives in a different hospitals. among the big as parents who are pick up their children from this concert in some cases, at least two cases it is the parents who were killed the children survived horror stories out of this just own end. day by day, hour by hour getting the identification of those who were killed. and i now have been identified in the dead it's an 8-year-old girl, a 15-year-old girl, an 18-year-old young lady just starting heard old life to showing the frugal howard is that this attack in the horrendous nature that the city is coming to this country. i think we all a break. back to you. maria: thank you very much. we are with former cia james woolsey this morning on the panel. your reaction? >> well, it's interesting they got these the arrests relatively quickly. i would say that is one of two things. either we've somehow been able to get informants inside a number of these groups that would be good, the british police and the domestically focused part of their law enforcement to send a really quite good. probably more likely they immediately turned to interviewing kids and neighbors and particularly brothers, better at. a lot of these terrorist attacks, just two or three people plan that will be one family. i remember what happened in boss and at the time of the marathon a couple of years. they are very different routes they can use to see if they can get a better handle on a larger group and stop the larger group from doing something that none of it is foolproof. maria: clearly they had some intelligence to say, teresa may say another attack is highly late late or perhaps a minute. >> it seems to me they are very nervous. i get this emotional feeling like we seem to. when you target a bond that children, what is concerning is this increasing pattern of putting your bomb at the scene where the perimeter of security, whether it's the brussels airport or paris airportnd now is coming t of the project that area. that is when people have to be the most alert. to do that for children and young people, they said they meditate and 50. >> so sad. no words. >> people do have the right to be upset and concerned about the fact that this attacker was known to a horrid deeds, just like this and i have brothers, just like the attackers in the paris attacks in november 2015. the mastermind abdulla was on the pulse nightclub list. omar mateen, they had been under surveillance but they were still able to kill dozens and dozens of people. it's time to ask, why is this still happening? you know who these people are. you don't have better intelligence on them. >> if you want really good intelligence on routes like this, you're going to have to go to a policing system that is similar to wed giuliani and his colleagues did in new york with the broken windows. they were talking not only about broken windows, but radical islamist groups. you have to get out and be vigorously enough population and a lot of people don't want that. maria: we've got more on this coming up. we'll be right back. stay with us.

rather averages. dow, nasdaq, s&p 500 ended the day higher yesterday. but a reaction to the deadly attacks in the u.k. monday night. chief market strategist, senior managing or tony dwyer. it is the u.k. thank you for joining us. typically markets don't react to geopolitical events and they don't react to terror, right? >> folks like me come on tv and stable means something pretty stoically when you think back at the last seven years committee that a european debt crisis every year. fiscal cliff, i don't know what you could throw at it other than some kind of real nuclear war and the market continues to trend higher because ultimately the market correlates with the backdrop of earnings in the backdrop of earnings is actually getting much better. >> what i loved in addition because you can always financially engineered to 70% growth in revenue. that's the real stuff. but i do wonder a little bit about is the bond market refusing to play along. it is not basically a 10 year around 220. it's not going anywhere. at the same time, inflation isn't taking off. are those anchors on this? what is the catalyst for mexico? >> great question because every institution beginning had me set this every institution needing to have me separate the bond market telling us in the day to 20-year-old? what was it telling us that the economy was going to slow down? we have to be careful about assuming the markets will tell us something. if anything, because going from 2.6% down to 2.2% is a stimulative move. ultimately, the only decision investors have to make over the intermediate to long-term is how close are we to recession and the way to find that out is that short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates. that is the only thing -- we've got everything. the only thing that led to the recession is an inversion of the yield curve of his other positive 130 basis points. maria: so how do you explain the yield? >> i would say -- here is how, supply and demand. everybody on the planet with say there is too much debt. no, there's not. based on current demand, clearly not enough funds being produced otherwise bond yields would be reduced significantly. ultimately this slide that they would credit is for sale, the right not to be thought. >> disregarding or ignoring what they might do a short-term interest rates as they begin to unwind but their $4.8 trillion balance sheet, does that send longer-term interest rates higher and is that a head wind for the stock market? >> it would keep them a little bit higher. if i told you a year and a half ago that china was found with those i largest bondholder was going to start selling debt cap i would've thought the idea was would've been way higher. the story here is not. more than 40% of the pension plans to fixed income with 220, corporate bond yields at 458 unique to make 7.5%. you can't get there from here. but you have our pension plans to try and get the fixed income returns up enough to get the 7%. maria: supply and demand. bill quick on china, the credit rating cut, top stories by moody's. >> is funny because i saw somebody put up a chart of the upshur wanted it looks like it is highly volatile. i was just looking at a three-hour a period still a pretty tight range. i think the best thing i can do for the viewers and anybody watching this just remind you. it's not whether you are a buyer without an aversion to the yield curve. it is whether you're a more aggressive buyer. but the market corrected the next 15 minutes? yes it up quite a bit. definitely for the intermediate to long-term. but i urge people to do this if you cap a week off last wednesday we got this 2% drop, here it is, be careful. earnings are positive. the fed is historically accommodated. banks and lending and a story that nobody focuses on enough if you've got a millennial demographic that turning 27. as big as the baby boom here, they are 27 years old. you are coming to a period where the household formation is going to pick up because i call it my cousin benny moment that my biological clock is ticking. around 27 to 37. they are not going to want to live in the current spaces of all time. at least i know i didn't. trade do that analysis. great to see you. coming up next, president trump's new bill being criticized on both sides of the aisle. the pushback from capitol hill will zero in on

i had the shooting, burning of diabetic nerve pain these feet... jumped into city life as a kid... ...raised two rough and tumble boys... ...and kept my town moving. but i couldn't bear my diabetic

officials will get to work to sell president's plan, mulvaney will speak at hearing this morning and mnuchin will answer questions at a house ways and means committee at 10:00 a.m. mulvaney broke down and earned praise from some republicans, watch. >> we are no longer going to measure compassion by the number of programs or the number of people on those programs but by the number of people we help get off of those programs. that's how you get people take charge of their own lives again. >> i have to tell you, it's refreshing mick mulvaney say just that. that's point number one, what he's basically saying, let's make sure we are getting our money's worth. maria: joining us right know america for tax reform, nice to see you, thank you for joining us. >> certainly. maria: what strikes you the most? >> when trump was running and even when we won a lot of the critics in the republican party said he's going to be a big spender, well, let's take a look at the budget not only has been a solid conservative on judges and personnel and tax reduction proposal but this is a ronald reagan budget reduction, let's stop spending so much money and get people off of welfare rather than get more people trapped into welfare. it is a very reasonable budget. it's one that washington is going to hate because a lot of interest money that's being cut back in the budget. maria: what about projections on growth, 3% on growth, is that outside of forecast? is that too optimistic in terms of when to expect growth, grover? >> not if we get what ryan and president trump are talking about. you take corporate rate to 35 to 15, they have been projecting less than 2%. eight years of what obama gave you. at the end to have carter year, limits to growth. there's no more growth anymore. reagan cut taxes we got 4% growth. i think 3% growth understates what this economy can do if we continue the deregulation and let peopave permits to build everything from pipelines to power plants rather than have a war on infrastructure as obama did for eight years but rather get out of the way of infrastructure being built so it can be built and lower tax rates. i think 4% is completely reasonable, they're sticking in three, i don't know maybe not be criticized to the left, they'll be criticized fbi left. maria: they are being criticized by the left. dagen: nonpartisan economists look at the 3% growth rate based on growth and working age population which is is barely growing at this point that without that wellspring of workers to use the wall street journal's language or some sort of newfound productivity, 3% is not achieve nl -- achievable. that's not coming from the left or the right who don't like the president's budget. the other thing he deserves criticism is entitlement, paid parental leave when you have a kid. federally mandated paid parental lead. >> i'm not a fan of mandating for people who work, people should make their own decision. social security, any reform of social secitreires 60 votes, that's just off the table. it would be silly for any to start a conversation on that. george bush threw away a second term because he spent six months negotiating with no democrats so nothing happened. that was completely predictable. trump is not running down that rabbit hole. on medicare we need to reform it on long-term, that doesn't bring immediate savings but we did save net present value $3 trillion in medicare back with the murray-ryan budget fix a few years ago. so you can make small changes over a long period of time that net present value tremendously reduced the unfunded liabilities you have. we have millions of americans that could enter the workforce. not 18-year-olds but 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 50-year-olds because the labor participation rate during the obama years continued to collapse. it's supposed to spring back during a recovery. we add eight years of a very weak recovery and people left the workforce. so it's not that there aren't -- we don't need immigrants to fill that up, we have people that were pushed out of the labor market by lousy economics and that can come back and have a lot more work nester the country. we are not short workers, we've pushed them out of the labor market but they can come back in, they did with the reagan recovery. maria: this is a list of priorities, it's going to look very different. how do you think it looks different once it gets marked up? >> well, we will see, different spending interests have different amount of power in this town. for any republican who wants to criticize -- this would be all republican budget. you not going to get d votes for reforming government. maria: let me ask you about the cbo score on health care plan, today we are getting the score on the cbo in order for this bill from the house to be passed over to the senate, well quick on the cbo s >> we simply need it to be scored so that 11 years out it is deficit knew real from press predictions. i believe it will be, we will see how cbo made some changes to allow obamacare to go in. i hope they're not playing politics against reforming obamacare. maria: and it will also tell us the number of people who will be without insurance. >> but watch, the last time cbo did this, they did something very dishonest, they counted people who were no longer forced to buy obamacare's product that they didn't want. you don't force them, they will quit. those people are losing their health care. maria: dagen, you brought up. >> shame on them for doing that. maria: thanks very much. >> you got it. maria: scare on the tarmac closing airport last night. united airline evacuated when engine caught fire, details coming up. more trouble for uber, admits for

right now 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. president trump visits the vatican, he met with pope francis overnight. he's currently meeting with italy's prim minister later this hour the president will leave for brussels. well, the president continues his foreign trip, congress is focused on the domestic agenda, treasury secretary mnuchin reportedly telling the house freedom caucus that president trump is against the border adjustment tax. house speaker paul ryan says congress is still working on tax reform right now. >> we here in the republican congress are stayi here getting our work done. we were talking about tax reform half of the day today to get the economy growing, get to tax code simplified, get businesses hiring again. maria: on to the latest developments on the amanchester bombing, police say they have made three additional arrests in monday's terrorist attack and they say another attack maybe imminent. the world is mourning the bombing and they are mowrk the uk this

of the cia james. jim, you were talking about the foreign trip that the president has taken and the chance for peace in the middle east. >> well, it's raised in an article in the wall street journal this morning and maybe some other press, i don't know that there's anything immediate and concrete but sure a lot of movement. b.b. netanyahu accurately pointed out if what happened in manchester had been palestinian bomber and israeli children that had gotten killed, the palestinian bomber's feamed would -- family would have gotten a stipend. if it does, if somebody can put a deal together, law and order, american investor, if somebody can put a deal together the parameters are probably -- would probably be close to what the clinton administration worked out in 2000. a few hundred meters difference but generally people know where this wld go. you cannot have a deal in which the israelis are always subject to being killed by palestinians. if you -- if you look at the position israeli arabs, israeli citizens that are muslim and sometimes christian, they have their own supreme court justice and they have the representatives, parliament, they have their own press, they go sleep at night without worrying some israeli is going to kick down the door and kill them. that's not the case if you have jews living in the west bank, one of the reasons they have to be in heavily armored fortress-like buildings is otherwise they get killed. maria: yeah. >> so once the palestinians give up on that, there is, i think, maybe in the next few years in a trump administration a chance that something could be put together. maria: that would be extraordinary. peter: i like at mahmoud abbas he may have a part of the organization but hamas is a real issue. >> the question is would hamas go along with something like this or are they going to maintain -- it would be a big change. maria: we will be keep talking about this. thank you for that jim. coming up is morning a big show ahead. former republican candidate herman cain. and the cofounder and ceo of paypal as well as ceo of affirm. patrick is here and the atlanta falcons owner and the home depot cofounder arthur blank joins us as well. we kick it off this hour with this. president trump continues foreign trip meeting italian leaders and the pope. fox news' chief correspondent john roberts in st. peter's scare with the very latest. good morning to you. >> maria, good morning to you. given the history of the two man with each other tweeting comments back and forth and public statements as well when the pope said that it wouldn't be christian to build walls instead of bridges and the president called that language disgraceful. it was a pretty formal affair. the pope didn't seem to smile but was cordial but by the end of it when president trump brought in melania, ivanka and jared and the secretary of state rex tillerson and h.r. mcmaster clearly any ice that remained from their public feud with each other over a couple of items had thawed. -warm handshakes and smiles all around and they did talk about a number of different issues and release of vatican says that relationship on firm footage that joint commitment to life and freedom of worship and also talked about the situation in syria and the broader middle east that need to bring about peace through political negotiation in religious dialogue and persecution of christians and importance to protect that community, particularly in places like syria and in the broader middle east as well. and clearly the pope said something to the president that impressed him a lot because listen to what the president said to the pope just before he left. [inaudible] >> he said, i will never forget what you told me today. we do not know, maria, what it was that he told him today but we will try to root that out. one interesting moment is when the pope was talking to the first lady about food and he said to her, what do you feed your husband and i think they talked about pizza but he also said he liked potizza a slovenian unlike pope benedict who used to eat olives. we will to give that one a try. maria: i hope so. you will have to report on that one, john. john roberts in italy this morning. i want to brinin former republican candidate herman cain. good to see you. thank you for joining us. do you believe the president's message of unity during foreign trip has been effective. what's your reaction to the president's trip. >> his message of unity has been very effective. his message of unity back home because of the distort trump media it has not been effective because a lot of people haven't heard it and that's ironic. newt gringrich made a very compelling observation in an interview. he said, it's ironic at home the liberal media shows so much disrespect for this president but internationally they are showing a huge amount of respect which is helping to drive that unity and i think he nailed it when he made that observation. maria: it's a great observation. fact that he's getting such respect, such respect from saudi arabia and israel and the media here gives him no respect whatsoever. >> right. maria: meanwhile the police in the uk have said that they have made three more arrests in connection to the stadium bombing in the united kingdom this morning, britain is raising the terrorist level to the highest level in a decade that's the critical level, the suicide bomber has been identified as 22-year-old salman abedi. abedi had probably been to syria and haproven ties to the islamic state. president trump responded to the attack yesterday while he was in bethlehem. listen to this, i want to get your reaction. >> so many young, beautiful innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life. i won't call them monsters because they would like that term. they would think that's a great name. i will call them from now on losers. maria: it's such an incredible story, herman. >> it is, they are losers for two reasons, one because they take advantage of innocent civilians in order to try to intimidate and to incite fear. that's part of their strategy and tactics but here is the second reason they are losers, benjamin netanyahu i heard give a speech many years ago, he said the reason that that element of islam is so angry and so violent is because that culture has lost to our culture and their only retort is to try and destroy us. we have the biggest economy in the world, we have the most powerful military in the world, we have more freedoms in the world, we have a true democracy, yeah, it hay hit bumps and potholes but that's what they have lost. theirs didn't work and their objective is to wipe us out. maria: what do we do, herman. this guy was on a watch list. he just got back from libya. you're on a watch list and going back and forth to libya, doesn't that raise some red flags. >> yes. maria: when are we going the start getting tougher? >> we are going to start getting tougher when the -- in the united states we are already getting tougher because president trump has said, we have your back, allow the authorities to do their jobs without fear of being intim at a timed or being harassed or being fired because you did your job. they are much further behind than united states and encouraging the authorities to do their job. that's when we are going to be be able to do the type of things that should have been done over there. i'm glad that this president has told all of the authorities and even the intelligence resources some of whom are not in his court we got your back. that has not been a message that the european leaders have told their authority. maria: but it has resinated with leaders across the world. makes such a good point. let me bring you back to the issues at home because the administration is working toward tax reform. >> yes. maria: bloomberg is reporting reporting that treasury secretary mnuchin said during private meeting that the president is inclined to oppose the border adjustment tax, this is not new information. this is exactly what we expected that there would be no border adjustment tax in this tax package, but what are your thoughts on the domestic agenda, you know, this russia investigation is taking all the oxygen out of the room but he did release budget yesterday and they are moving forward on tax reform, your thoughts. >> my thoughts is the democrats can change narrative but they can't change the facts. a lot of people are wakeing up to that. if it's spot on, it's spot on and what the president shod is his ability to negotiate. the republicans in the house and the senate said a border adjustment tax is a nonstarter. maria: right. >> even though he initially said we need one. what he has done is show that he was willing to negotiate, hopefully knowing donald trump, president trump he got something in return. now, the blueprint is just that, blueprint and people need to be reminded of that. now the house has to build the structure, then the structure goes to the senate. now we know the structure isn't going to be exactly what's in the blueprint but as long as it hits most of the president's priorities it's got a chance to survive in the senate and let's hope that the senate doesn't screw it up too bad before it goes back to the president's desk. people need to keep in mind it's the blueprint that lays the foundation for the structure that'll be built for the house and senate. maria: you made a good point. 15% corporate tax rate. i don't think anybody believes that the corporate tax rate will be 15%. he starts at this level because he know the house is all the way 28%, 25%. >> exactly. the art of the deal. he is showing flexibility which i think shows that he understands what he has to work with since you have to work with the legislative process. maria: the left is painting the cuts and programs for the poor, food stamp, they are cutting growth of the spending not. >> that's the big lie and let me explain why. in washington a cut is don't allow it to grow faster than you increased it last year. that's why they are calling it a cut. all they are saying is we are at this level, they're not cutting the existing spending for food stamps and medicaid or anything like that, they're simply saying, we are not going to build in x increase in the programs because we want to put people back to work so they don't need food stamps. that's the language of the left, they call it a cut, they call it a devastating, that's just the big lie that they tell in order to try to demagogue this approach. maria: thank you very much for that. that was great analysis. herman cain, great to see you. herman cain, do stay with us. bp developed new, industry-leading software to monitor drilling operations in real-time, so our engineers casolve problems with the most precise data atheir fingertips. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. i count on my dell small for tech advice. with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. ♪ ♪ othe newly advanced gle can i'm csee in your blind spot.

time of the year, summer driving season kicking off this weekend. you are one of the 34 million americans hitting the road this weekend, be prepare today pay up at the pump, latest numbers from triple a show that is gasoline prices are on the rise. today $2.37 compare today 2.29 a year ago. bob, good to see you, thank you so much for joining us. your take on gasoline prices, your take on this week and beyond? >> we are a little bit behind where we were last year as far as, gasoline to crude oil, there's a lot of gasoline in storage so we have a healthy supply situation moving in. but we have crude oil prices at $50, so it's supporting to a certain degree. demand this year is about 175,000-barrels a day below last year for gasoline and so it's a pretty healthy situation going in. peter: we are coming into opec, they are in viena as we speak, if they do agree to extend the cut, what do you think the compliance is going to look like? this time the compliance was so-so, what does that look like if this goes forward? are they going to play ball in iraq? >> they can ramp production pretty quickly, they'd like to. they will probably make a commitment to the agreement whether they stick to it in fact is a different issue. i kind of doubt that they ll. the problem with this deal, i'm assuming it's rolled and for nine months, the problem with the deal as far as compliance is concern, northern driving season. nobody wants the united states to steal the market share. we are in the business of stealing market share. we steal market share from the saudis and chinese these days. maria: when you say steal market share, everybody wants market share, i don't know if it's steeling market share. >> we are taking the barrels that they used to move into china in particular and they do not want to see that happen. so that will calculate into the agreement tomorrow. so i do believe it's more likely that they will cheat on this deal because you want to move barrels where the demand is the greatest. this time of year the demand is greatest. dagen: do we, our production in the united states and future production that comes online from the -- from these technologically advanced oil and gas companies, is that going to keep a lid on prices for the long haul? >> yes, i believe it does. we are at 9.3 million-barrels a day. record was 9.6, prices rallied back since then. we were probably approached $10 million a barrel in the united states. big number. to a certain degree between the united states production inease, increases in production in bya and nigeria, it cers the cut that opec has already made, so opec has to take that calculation. dagen: and roll back oil and regulations and without having to involve congress. maria: you're right. >> why isn't the objective as low as possible while still maintaining level enough for investment to keep going? if you look at the frankers in west texas, they can money on oil that's pretty cheap. >> they'll make more money if it's pretty expensive, on the other hand. you want to at the timer it. we would put the number at 47 bid at 52 you everybody is kind of happy, everybody is doing pretty good. you have to keep in mind the interests of the refiners in the united states, they feast on lower oil prices too. so there's that side of the business also. >> and the summer drivers and the soccer moms driving home, it makes a difference 2 or $3 extra. maria: we want to get to two big stories saudi ipo is on the horizon, you would think saudis would want to see oil prices high, it's obviously correlated with oil prices, what's your take on the saudi iran co ipo and trump proposing selling half of the reserve, the president has proposed that what do you think? >> you can make the argument that opec agreement putting out nine months, trying to bid prices up to $60 are in the saudis mind part of strategy. the higher the price of oil if ipo does happen, the better the deal will do and the better it does -- we are talking billions and billions of dollars here. it's not a rounding situation. so if you have a price of $60 or higher, it's going to go relatively a lot better than it would otherwise so it's definitely in their interest to extend the deal, they may actually even be forced to cut barrels in their own that nobody else would cut so they would be willing to give away to a certain degree, that's a balance that they have to keep in mind. maria: when is the deal? >> probably 2018. probably will not happen this year. peter: you're absolutely right. i've heard from people who are involved in the deal, the saudis are not happy with the preliminary valuation of the company. they have lofty goals and has to do with national promise and all of that, i think they are going to be very focused on where this goes on. they will cut more on their share to get the price up. maria: all the financial guys were in saudi last week but also they want a piece of that action, for sure. let me ask you, the president has proposed and dagen, i want to get your take too, thwhite house trim for national debt is -- >> it's good for 94,000-barrels of crude oil a day for ten years. duration is long but not all that much. we have way too much oil in spr right now. we don't need that many barrels because we are increasing our domestic production and kicking back on our import. a country like china, on the other hand, they are increasing spr because they are the opposite. they are decreasing domestic production and increasing import, so we really don't need 688 million-barrels of crude oil sitting in a salt tavern. maria: is this an effective way to raise revenue? dagen: it's not a constant source of revenue. it's a toss-away, please don't sell low. they will start selling oil out of the spr when crude is $35 a barrel. they always mess that one up. maria: yeah. >> i do think it's time that we start to think of ourselves differently. we are a major player in oil business, if we are going to get to 9, $10 billion, we are toe to toe with the giants, i do have to say that this is $1.6 billion a year kind of revenue recognition, it's not going to be a huge piece of the pie. >> i think the key thing is the price to american consumers. we are -- if opec has to take some hits in order for that to take place, then bravo. maria: all right, whether he leave it there. bob, thank you

bombshell a new report that claims the nsa under then president obama conducted illegal searches on the private data for years. join us right now to weigh in on the stunning revelation judge injured napolitano. i know a lot about it. this is nothing new and should come as no surprise but finally that in a state which has been doing this for years and years got caught. nick got caught by its own private secret court. i really gets angry when the nsa exceeds the authority of the court gave it. as a variety of tools by which it can examine or receive the content of every telephone call in every keystroke in communication. one of them is going to the fisa court and asking for a warrant. it's not about an individual is about a class of people. it was for all customers of verizon. as long as they comply with the warrant and do with the warrant authorizes the court doesn't care. when they exceeded the warrant that's when they unmask people who did it needed to be unmasked when they use the warrant as an instrument together information that ultimately is used for political purposes the court is furious. it was the fear he written down in the opinion admonishing them for doing this. the is richly deserved. the whole system operates with the consent of the american people. we don't use the cia and nsa does fire on americans. the sum of summit therefore. they may help carry out investigations with you the counterintelligence investigation. but you do need to have counterintelligence investigation you can utilize the fbi and you can probably had some kind of role for the cia particularly. to do what the judge it talks about and what has transpired here it really was exceeding their authy substantially. speemac if you combine what we learn yesterday with what we learned a few months ago about susan rice who was asking for the unmasking of the revelation of the names of the human beings involved in the medications and using it for political purposes. give a very serious threat to democracy in america and the government can use surveillance to keep us safe. that's what i believe was dr. donald trump. how politicized of these agencies become quacks. >> the short answer is i don't know. i don't think public --dash particularly so. i don't like the new organizational structure which doesn't put an emphasis on expertise. i would much rather had that managed differently. but that's a separate question. what anybody ever pay for the misuse and abuse of this information. i suppose robert mueller can look at whatever he wants too. they know this. there is an unwritten tradition not to reveal this because a lawsuit criminal prosecution would reveal some new sources of methods. it is better to let this person go free and then to reveal although we would have to reveal. to make the one thing i think that really does scare the american people is when we see as some of these institutions become a weapon nice. as we are starting to see examples of where nsa exceeds its reach. their right to be very uncomfortable. select he is still running it. section 702 of the fisa act is up for reauthorization at the end of this year. has been reauthorized a number of times. this is the first time the reauthorization will ever occur. they will personally victimized by the usof section oh two. we might have a real serious debate about it. one problem is that some people that were opposed to it exceeded the facts. there's something called a mail watch. the government can keep track of the return address in the postmark and the address but not anything on the inside the envelope. when you go from first classed letters to e-mails to cyber what's on the inside. how much can you store what can you check. and one of the things the nsa was doing was keeping a record of e-mail as they were authorized to do but not of looking inside the e-mail. that really got into a arm waving mode that this terrible thing to happen. now they have the content in the question. yesterday the foxbusiness senior correspondent was first reported in the present shop has retained the services of mark kes with into claims that there was collusion. what do we know about that. before we get to that. my hat is really off to our good buddy. do you know where he was when he broke the story. still working the phones at 35,000 feet. it's a superb lawyer a new york-based lawyer mount washington dc. is not a person with experience fighting the government in criminal cases. at some point in time the allegations will be such that the white house counsel cannot get involved in them. and therefore they need a lawyer totally loyal to himself. who do we think is can run the fbi. >> i don't know the answer to that. i'm a strong supporter of an outside independent person with law enforcement experience. he would be very well-respected by the agency. it really needs to be a non- politician. if i may say so they understand and it expressed the fourth amendment. there you go. violets of the philippines to report. they fight with government forces causing the president to declare martial law. violence escalating even after the president declared

president's budget o proposal four trillion-dollar spending plan criticized by democrats and some republicans, for unrealistic cuts to social and examine domestic programs paul ryan said time to take a look at where the money is going. >> we should measure whether there is successful or not are we actually getting the outcomes we want or are we measuring success in washington based on how much money we throw at programs by automatic spending increases i don't think should mush success that way measure success based on outcomes. >> calling for 2.6 billion dollars, for a wall along the u.s.-mexico border joining us right now chairman of the house aways means committee texas congressman ken brady good to see you thanks for joining news good morning. >> walk us through, the most important parts of this budget, a lot of people on the left are talking about cuts, but actually cuts to the growth of spending correct. >> this is a welcome change all my constituents want is a government that is efficient, that makes wise use o of money lives within means trump budget shows that is a big challenge, but we can change the direction the country is going, and so look i think this outline is a way that helps get us to a balanced budget sure we are going to make changes look when you look at stronger growth, the restrained spend raise revenues getting people back to work things businesses do to turn around, when in financial trouble we use those same common sense technical nicks to turn country financial situation around as well. maria: let me bring you comments from committee for responsible budget projections appears based on unrealistic growth assumptions unlikely to materials she says the administration projection 3% economic growth of far above those outside o foreclosures and would require exceeding the economic performance of the 1990's she doesn't think it is going to happen. >> so we will look carefully at growth numbers i know in yesterday's hearing linde estimates house blueprint will grow u.s. economy over 3% here, in these initial two, three, four years selling good growth number we are going to work with treasury department on growth numbers in the budget make sure we get it right. maria: all right, let me ask you about -- in terms of what some people are calling another entitlement family leave situation, here you know dagen has been talking about this this morning, why another entitlement? >> yeah so we will look carefully at that proposal. we've got the initial language, obviously from the budget, we are going to sit down with white house, to find out what they want accomplished in there clearly by estimates this could be a 25-billion-dollar type of spending program. that raises red flags in a austere budget that is still a deficits let's sit down find out exactly what they want to accomplish. >> okay you are looking at this a set of policy proposals you think it is going to look much different when all said and done. >> i think at the end of the day, congress is going to make its adjustments changes to it, it ought to. but, also, at the end of the day, we are going to pass a budgetto that balances within 10 years sets the stage for tax reform very bold progrowth tax reform, and budget resolution is the first and most important step in that. maria: let's talk about that because republicans are pushing forward with a plan to repeal and replace obamacare we know the cbo score for the gop health care plan, is due out this afternoon, what should we expect centimeter. >> i expect a healthy deficit reductions in here savings for the budget so reflecting budget i think i am i am hope there will be lower premiums more stable pricing for those stuck in obamacare, over next two or three years, we are hopeful that this gives the senate a road map to continue to strengthen we have updated health care repeal and replace positive way i expect to see that rest that. >> let me ask you where you are in terms of work on tax reform, and on domestic agenda because we know, that, you know, there are a lot of headlines around russia a senate, doing hearings on the russia collusion potential story as well as the president's international trip. there is a lot of other headlines going on, where are you on tax reform, sir? >> we are laser focused that is where we are at. maria: yeah? >> with the administration with the senate, on the issue tax reform we know we have to deliver with president trump, a bold pro tax reform this year we've got blinders on laser focused on this meaning regularly with white house and senate so we are going to continue on our timetable, for 2017. maria: skoo you still think you can get this done this year? >> absolutely i do. >> secretary mnuchin told freedom caucus that president trump is opposing a border-adjustment tax, is that off the table at this point? >> no, it is not. because everyone has another question, so what is the better idea, so we recognize border adjustment a bold changing matches what competitors around the world do we sincerely don't believe tweaking the corporate income tax will get us where we need to be in the 21st century from hearing we heard yesterday clearing bringing back manufacturing and research and headquarters to america won't be easy, and it will take time, we are going to have to go bold, to do it and so we are open to better ideas, whether it is from the white house, from the senate, from any of our house republican members, in how we achieve, that bold progrowth reform this is look, tax reform, is a process, it is not easy, and smooth, like derrick jeter it is scrappy gritty, and there is a whole lot of work but at the end of the day we are going to dwlifr this president. maria: i like the derrick jeter mention there that you slipped that in let me ask you what are the alternatives are you thinking a higher corporate tax rate makes that money up? is an import tax and trade part of the economic policy makes that up? where do you make up the loss of more than a trillion dollars that you would have gotten in a border-adjustment tax? >> so we will lose -- leave that alternative to were those don't feel about comfortable with border adjustment or equal taxation within u.s. ending made in america tax for those kwfshl that -- bring your ideas forward lets assess them lay them out together, but let's stay at the table until we get this done deliver this year. maria: for example, i mean, the president comes out with this idea of 15% corporate tax rate obviously you are not going to do 15% corporate tax rate right? what is likely corporate tax rate 25, 25% is that what you would like to see. >> so we are going to continue to work with -- i want 20%, legislator if we can, but as importantly beside the rate you have to redesign this tax code to be competitive and more importantly, it has got to be permanent if we want businesses to change behavior and bring and relocating those plans, and research back to united states, they have to have certainty not just for five or even 10 years, they see 30 and 40 year decisions, so permanence bold makes a difference. >> what about the about deductions what are you poised to give on in terms of deductions i know that is a debate going on right now. >> so where are priorities in terms of he eliminating deductions. >> look, all of that focuses on what is the most progrowth tax code we can have? do we stick with old he corporate income tax model make tweaks see if we can't try to catch up with our global competitors or go bold with new system focused on u.s., focused on cash flow, again, meets and matches if to the exceed competitors those will be really important discussions, questions going forward. maria: here we are you know in doorstep of june what are these happening congressman i recognize you say look we are going to get this done this year, but the clock is ticking isn't it. >> it is ticking, which is why i think it is important white house the house and senate continue to work toward together, toward a single unified tax plan, if that is possible, i think that dramatically increases our success for this year. >> congressman we will watch the story thanks so mu >> thanks, maria. >> see you seen kevin brady there uber under fire for in fair pay how ride-sharing company cheating new york drivers out of millions,

the rise of donald trump even donald trump's win as president, i certainly saw that here in new york city, but if you are a real businessman like mark zuckerberg which he is, maybe that was wake-up

it is confusing people have been harmed by products they can't understand, one of us go back to zuckerberg the reason out there talking to go people because k silicon valley is very aapparent that no, we don't actually understand what ailes some real people out there we understand at aif i remember confusion created by a lot of financial products suffered a point of sale elsewhere hurting people

growth and/or growth labor force, both cases, those numbers have been low, if you think about growth labor o force it is extremely low given that we the boomers are retiring. >> what would you propose then in terms of how would you advise the president in terms of immigration law, given these concerns? >> so i am not in business of reviving the president, or congress, on any policy. outside my

on both sides of the aisle because of rosy proengzo projects of 3% growth is that he achievable. >> long run productivity growth is key to this, plus growth labor force we can get a short term term

working on tax reform appropriations very excited about regulatory realism agenda pretty tar in that 14 congressional u.s. signed into law, that is only used once every before, so we feel like our regulatory realism agenda has gone very well that was first part of our plan because that is a time sensitive thing then we wanted to move through health care now got to move on with rest of our agenda, taxes a long year effort, because it is hasn't been done since 1986 then we've got to get appropriations the appropriations done pretty good down payment on military, and now we have to go

couple months. >> it is not a couple months it is a year, this next december you said, did i get that right. >> december 2017. >> yeah, so we he our goal not to at a tax reform slipped in calendar year 18 we want to make sure by the time, the year closes, people are going to come into a new tax system tax code ambitious agenda focused on achieving we've got to get tax reform done, we want to get our appropriations process up and running, for us means beginning to rebuild military, we've got ambitious plans for reversing hiring of military a lot of xhoerz to do on that, immigration. board security biggest increase in board security in 10 years last on appropriations bill we want to improve upon that work pop. so not to mention health care law, the health care act there is a lot that we have on plate i would say come january if we have taken 14 regulations off the books that were costing jobs, producing uncertainty we have begun a process of rebuilding our military cut taxes cleaned up tax system, and we fixed health care from a collapse, that is a pretty good year that is a pretty darn good year the year we are on track for achieving that is the year we are focusing on. >> white-knuckled page of the health care bill the first time will come back, from the senate there is no sign that it will be in a form that is more appealing to your how do rework that rue bikes cuba this formally. >> definitely a rubicks cuba about to reasons first one insurers telling is we need to submit our rates, or plans for 2018, between april 30 and june 30 for the states so we are in middle of that window what are we learning in that window the thing is collapsing, aetna they are gone pulled out, united pulled out, iowa, nobody is left. you can't get an obama exchange plan in a 94, out of 99 counties what we are seeing round higher double-digit premium he increases pull out co-ops are collapsing, so i think what is happening people are beginning to realize as summer in folds people are going to begin to realize this law really is in a tailspin, this is a rescue mission we have to intervene step in front of this crisis so people who are out there in individual markets can actually get affordable health insurance a plan to choose from they are losing that quickly so i really do believe that dynamic is such that yes, the rubik's coup hard i assume senate will change a bill, i think our members have travel a long journey few months to realize you can't get everything you want, this is clearly better than the status quo, it fulfills our promise one of the most prominent promising we made the system is collapsing we've got to do something. maria: speaker ryan at axio summit we are going to dip back into it should news develop there, talking about health
