Will likely take action on his own after the House Speaker declared no wall money will be included in any Border Security measure. The president said no wall, no deal. President trump you set is stage for what will happen on the 15th of february. I dont think theyll make a deal. I see whats happening. Theyll say lets do this but not one dime to the wall. Thats okay. If they wont give money for the wall its not going to work. If its not going to work the politicians are wasting a lot of time. Sandra kevin corke is live at the white house. Is it fair to say the president s relationship with the speaker is fractured . I think the answer for now is yes. I think its important to point out that there is a fairly transactional nature in this political relationship with the president and speaker. What happens today could be meaningless tomorrow if a deal can be struck on Border Security. All that said, at least for the time being it doesnt look if you listen to the speaker like that will happen any time soon. There isnt going to be any wall money in the legislation. However, if they have some suggestions about certain localities where technology, some infrastructure about the ports of entry, we might need more ports of entry. Some roads. Thats part of the negotiation. That drew a fairly strong response from the president who was actually asked by the New York Times about the ongoing Border Security negotiations and in particular his political relationship with the speaker. He said this, ive actually always gotten along with her but now i dont think i will anymore. I think she is doing a tremendous disservice to the country. He goes on to say this. If she doesnt approve a wall, the rest of it is just a waste of money and time and energy because it is desperately needed. Ill continue to build the wall and well get the wall finished. He wraps up by saying whether or not i declare a National Emergency, that youll see. And that is something that a lot of people are curious about, sandra. Sandra whats the white house saying this morning about that new report that donald trump junior did not call the president moments before the now Infamous Trump tower meeting with a Russian National during the 2016 campaign . You remember that story, right . I can tell you this. They have been forceful in their derision. Numerous reports have happened during the trump not only the campaign but during the trump presidency. They feel like there is a general negative bias. When news came out that yet another report was floated and then repeated uncritically by the press and eventually turned out to be false you can understand their view. Here is the latest. Records provided to the Intelligence Committee show the calls were between donald trump junior and two of his Business Associates and that, sandra, contradicts democrats suspicions the blocked number was that of then candidate donald trump. In a tweet he alluded to the faulty coverage calling it really sad. As you can imagine thats his way of saying they blew it again. Sandra. Sandra kevin corke. As the snow falls there. Chilly d. C. Morning outside the white house. Thank you. Jon lets bring in Katie Pavlich editor for town hall. Com and Fox News Contributor. Good to see you. Weve got nancy pelosi saying no money for any wall, any fence, whatever. Where do we go from here . Looks like well go to a possible declaration of a National Emergency. The president said this is one thing i asked for. Come to the table on daca, other funding for ports of entry. Issues democrats voted for in the past yet nancy pelosi despite dozens of people in her caucus, democrats who come from moderate states, from border districts that want some of the fencing, want more Border Security and victims of crimes across the border are pressuring her to come to the negotiating table. She is looking at 2020 and the politics of the new speaker of the house and she wants a win against the president. So it looks like we arent going anywhere in terms of what nancy pelosi is willing to negotiate with the president. Jon she is a new speaker of a house caucus that has turned farther to the left. So she does not want to be seen as negotiating or bending in any way with this president . Interesting to watch how the far left new freshmen congresswomen have been able to take the party even further to the left because actually when you look at the way that the 2018 midterms went down, the majority of democrats that were elected were not far left. They came from districts that were previously republican and turned into blue democratic seats. So not all the people who got elected were as far left as nancy pelosi is going in terms of the people who are pressuring her to go that far. And so when it comes to her getting her agenda moving forward, the big challenge for her going into the new speakership was going to be Holding Together her caucus on the far left and being able to bring in moderate democrats. The point is that look, donald trump didnt come into the presidency in 2016 and run as a hard charging right wing zealot. He came in as a middle of the road guy who donated money to both sides of the political aisle. Open always to meeting with people and negotiating even when they have serious disagreements and why he invited pelosi, schumer to come to the white house several times. They have offered the white house multiple times and nancy pelosi keeps saying no. Jon Kamala Harris has made a big splash by saying medicare for all is the way to go in this country. I want to read you a Washington Post columnist who says that that could be a problem for democrats running for president. She says she writes if you force suburbanites to choose between having a loose race baiter and sacrificing their Health Insurance coverage and paying higher taxes or other things progressives want to do, maybe they decide who is in the white house is the lesser of two evils. Nothing good to say about President Trump but saying going from medicare for all could hand the president a second term. Sandra democrats are running against President Trump and what he has offered. He can look to his record and say weve done deregulations created jobs, brought industry back to the United States. A lot of democrats including harris and booker are running on who america is, what we stand for. Which tends to be good unless you accuse people of racism and not actually talking about actual policy positions that americans can relate to. When Kamala Harris says she wants medicare for all it sounds good until you talk about the details. When you ask people if they want access to healthcare of course yes for everybody. When you ask about paying for it, that drops down by 50 when you say do you want your taxes to go up and especially when you say you will rip away Health Insurance from 150 Million People who get their Health Insurance through some kind of sponsored employer plan and as you saw Kamala Harris said earlier this week well eliminate it. You start taking away healthcare choices even through obamacare people start to push back on that a lot. Jon all the folks who work for the big private insurers of the world theyre out of jobs, right . Thats an untin ended consequence. You not only take away Health Insurance from families of half the country essentially who get it through their employer and the majority of people in this country do get healthcare through their employer, you also decide youll, as the government, go in and destroy an entire industry that employs hundreds of thousands and millions of people. There are other effects. Biomedical companies and engineering company. The trickle down effect would be devastating for the economy. Jon who pays for medicare for all . Theyve been saying the billionaires will pay for it and the top of the millionaires. Even if you got every penny of their wealth it wouldnt put a dent to paying for medicare for all. Maybe one year. The truth is medicare for all is paid for by everybody. Middle class, poor people and the rich if thats something they want to do. Jon Katie Pavlich town hall. Com. Sandra a big announcement from secretary of state mike pompeo moments ago. The Trump Administration withdrawing from a decadesold Nuclear Treaty with russia. Rich edson is live from the state department. Good morning. Good morning. Secretary of state mike pompeo says russia is brazenly disregarding its obligations under the inf treaty so the United States will suspend its obligations beginning tomorrow. He made the announcement from the podium here. He says there is no sense in the u. S. Continuing to comply with the inf treaty if russia refuses to do so. It does no good to sign an agreement if a party wont comply with it. The piece of paper if its not being complied with doesnt reduce the risk. It doesnt take down that threat. This suspension gives russia six more months to comply with the intermediate range missiles treaty before the u. S. Formally withdraws. They suspect russia will refuse. For six years the u. S. Has gone to tremendous lengths to preserve the inf treaty and russia refuses to return to compliance. In december the u. S. Declared russia was in material breach of this treaty, gave russia 60 days to comply. There was some discussions between u. S. And russia officials. They collapsed and the u. S. Is suspending. Russia must destroy its new Cruise Missile launchers and associated equipment in order to come back into compliance. The russian government says this new Missile Program is compliant with this 1987inf treaty. It prohibits the testing and deploying of any landbased cruiser Ballistic Missiles with a range of 300 to 3400 miles. Officials argue if russia is not complying. China isnt part of the treaty. It puts the United States at a disadvantage. Critics of the u. S. Suspending saying it will lead to proliferation around the world. It is a priority of the administration to prevent that. Back to you. Sandra a lot happening there in the last few minutes. It may come up along with a wide range of other issues when President Trump delivers his state of the Union Address happening next tuesday. Well have all day coverage leading up to his big speech to the nation right here on the fox news channel. Jon it was off. Now back on again. Sandra tuesday night. Jon it will be something to watch. Breaking news on a strong monthly jobs report at this hour. The u. S. Has added jobs for 100 straight months marking the longest such period on record. Details on that coming up. Sandra plus first selfproclaimed social lift congresswoman ocasiocortez called for a 70 tax increase on the rich. Now omar is saying 90 would be fair. How far are the democrats willing to go for higher tactics. Art laffer will join us and he has something to say on that. Jon both President Trump and Vice President pence calling out democrats over abortion bills that go against conservative ideals. Can we expect the white house will make it a signature issue heading into 2020 . Well ask mark walker, a former pastor, later this hour. This is not about republicans and conservatives pouncing as the media narrative has tried to advance it. This is about whether or not democrats and these aggressive proabortion democrats will continue to duck. Whether or not they stand with that little baby girl. It was a very life changing experience.

Unemployment ticking up to 4 as a result of the partial Government Shutdown. Lets bring in art laffer, former reagan Economic Advisor. He joins us now. Art, good to have you on. So much we want to get to with you. First the jobs report. We had larry kudlow on, the president s Economic Advisor last week and he forecast this and said it was coming. This is a robust jobs report, yet another one. Larry is the best advisor a president could have. I want to thank you very much, sandra, for inviting me on when it is such a good number. There is a little caution with the 304,000. They revised back the last two months down a bit and december was a blowout number as well. Now its been revised slightly below this number but great numbers. Wage growth over the past year is going to be there and sure enough it is. All of these numbers, Participation Rate over the past year, employment to population, all are increasing. All the people before said this couldnt happen because we were at quote, unquote, full employment. Were not. We can raise the Participation Rate. Product activity, hours, all those are flexible and i think well have a good year this year as well. Sandra the headline Unemployment Rate rose to 4 but that was a technical reason mostly. Yes, it was. Sandra 175,000 federal workers were counted as temporarily unemployed because of the Government Shutdown. Thats correct. I dont look at the Unemployment Rate number as i do the employment rate showing very nice, solid growth. That number will come down i believe next month or the month after. Its a wonderful report and the president should be very, very proud of the accomplishments he has had since he has been in office. It has been the best first term ive ever seen in my life and im 78 years old and amazing what happened in the last two years. Sandra you dont look it. By the way, well invite you on the program. You just invite me on to the good ones and ill love you forever. Sandra what is going on with some of these calls on the left for higher taxes and im not just talking incremental increases. We first heard from ocasiocortez calling for 70 taxes on the rich and now ilhan omar is calling for extremely sharp taxes on the rich saying weve been as high as 90 . Thats a place we can start. They are looking to make their point about the rich paying their fair share. How far are they willing to go here . Well, i dont know how far theyre willing to go. At 150 tax rates so every time the rich come into the office instead of getting a check they have to pay a bill. That will probably stop them at 150 , just joking. What we do know, sandra, is every time tax rates have been i raised substantially on the rich we have gotten less revenues from the rich weve gotten less revenues but caused a recession or decline as a result as well. Every time weve cut taxes on the rich whether harding, coolidge, kennedy, reagan, the rich have paid a lot more in taxes at lower rates. Sandra this is the tax rates that were looking at here. Average income tax rates. We dug into the 2016 numbers. The top 1 of earners paid the highest effective income tax rate at 27 . The bottom 50 paid the lowest at 3. 7 . But still these are the words of congresswoman omar, listen. Hold on a second and listen. There are a few things that we can do, one of them is that we could increase the taxes that people are paying who are the extremely wealthy in our communities with 70 , 80 . Weve had it as high as 90 . Sandra it also shows the top 3 of earners paid 50 of all income taxes in this country. What is fair, art . These people dont understand the numbers. They dont understand the economics. A lot of people dont understand the numbers. When you are in a policy position you should understand the numbers because your decision, your opinion counts. And these people should go back and do their homework as to what exactly happened when tax rates on the rich were raised and what happened when they were lowered. They would realize raising tax rates on the rich would cause a recession, slowdown, depression and wont get anymore money at all but cause a lot of hardship. You cant love jobs and hate job creators. Its as simple as jack kemp said it was. Sandra fascinating discussion and debate happening in the country now. Art laffer, come back soon.
