stuart: president obama says climate change is hazardous to your health and made his daughter's asthma worse. here is what he said to good morning america direct quote, m malia has no when she was 4 and because we had good health insurance we were able to knock it out early. if we can make sure how responses to the environment are reducing those incidents that is something i think every parent would wish for. here is his thought process. climate change causes more drought causes more wildfires which means more smoke in the air which leads to air pollution and that revolution causes -- makes asthma worse. look who is here dr. debbie is with us. what do you make of this?
11:46 am
>> you're going to tell us about his smoking? >> maybe all. there are a lot of things in the environment we could approved to prevent as much better at the same time we don't know what the cause is. stuart: to you think it is a stretch to link climate change with more atmosphere pollution there for more as much? >> it is a little bit of an indirect link. pollution does link to asthma but we are not sure exactly why. if people live close to highways or roadways they're more likely to get asthma as kids but even in rural areas you can get as much. it is not a clear lincoln. in terms of president obama's daughter the fact that he was a smoker at least at that time does a lot in terms of health studies looking at the relationship between second-hand smoke and the development of asthma. stuart: we are nodding in agreement. second-hand smoke could have been it. >> that is one of the things parents can do to protect their
11:47 am
kids. if they can stop smoking and he should be applauded for quitting especially since his daughter has asimov but his argument is more about the climate change. stuart: politically motivated argument. what is the major cause of asthma in children? >> we don't know for sure. everything, most chronic diseases something is genetic it, child will inherit something from the parents that may predispose them and then you have environmental factors that are triggered sell a lot of people it could be something allergic to say pollen for example. it could be pollution but you can have other things like exercise or cold can trigger an asthma attack. the problem is between your nose and mouth and lungs where you have trouble getting the air through to your body or your body sees these triggers and attacks and the thing is they're not dangerous like bacteria and viruses and ends up attacking it sells a you are causing the damage. stuart: if you are in the medical field obviously you are
11:48 am
how do you feel about the issue of climate change being so frequently used as a reason you have this outbreak or that illness or that condition? >> i have mixed feelings. there are things we can do ourselves. if we blame it on something so large people feel they don't have control over their environment or what is happening to them that there are a lot of things we can do to protect our kids. at the same time a lot of things in our environment, climate change is a very broad terms that there are a lot of things, pollution and other things we can make a better so we should look at those things and try to improve things for the long term but at the same time we should look closer to home. of one are you born with asthma or does it develop when you are six or seven years old? >> it is tricky because you are born with a genetic predisposition or factors that might give you asthma but in terms of symptoms those have to develop. we don't know what causes symptoms to appear in people. one thing is asthma actually has
11:49 am
stabilized. the number of people -- stuart: asthma has stabilized? number of new cases? >> number of people going to the key are with symptoms. the number of e are visits and hospitalizations seem to be coming down a little bit. stuart: there are better medications to treat them. >> that is one option and the others in his in terms of smoking that is going down. stuart: you forgot climate change. to reduce -- the effect of climate change surely that has an effect. >> i'm sure that matters too. stuart: i am joking. a low form of which. your last name is difficult to pronouns a you will do it for us. stuart: when you got to still -- thank you. a pleasure. up next, everybody. ken apps called lifeline response. you hit the button help arrives soon. we will explain in full.

populist. sounds like she is very much in line with president obama. steve, i am saying that hillary is coming off as an economic populist. why should ceos make so much more than the average working guy? she is tied to the obamacare you of the economy. does she want that reputation around her neck? >> i listen to your conversation with lou dobbs. maybe he can explain to me why lebron james makes 300 times more than what i make. she is trying to thread a needle here. she has a lot of that economic package. she knows she will have to run essentially, with that obama

record. what she wants to do she will talk about the clinton years. not the obama years. she will bring back the prosperity of the clinton years. i think the american people -- hillary clinton is yesterday. she is talking about the past and not the future. i think that that is the way to beat her. it will be a millstone around her neck. stuart: marco rubio yesterday. calling for tax rate cuts. somewhat similar to ronald reagan. you could say that that is yesterday's policy. >> that is a fair point. you know what, it worked. the 80s and 90s the middle

12:18 pm
>> people who paid into social security fair whole life, people paid him for 40 years or more, if you tell me if i make more than $80,000 a year and i get a cut on all the money i paid in, how is that fair? most people watching the show would be mad. if you can put that money the government could never cut your benefits. i think it will be a very unpopular idea that chris christie is talking about. i have not heard it out of his mouth. i do not think that there is any appeal of cutting social security benefits. stuart: angry at the rich getting social security benefits. charles: his numbers seem to be
12:19 pm
extraordinarily low. not a lot of money in the real world. i think it is a third rail issue for him. >> we have a plan that will give you higher benefits. higher benefits with a personal account. you and i and the people watching the show, the worst investment we will make is the money we have to pile into social security. social security is a terrible deal. stuart: steve moore. thank you very much. to maryland parents under investigation by child protect its services because they let their kids walk to a park alone. we already know what judge

12:31 pm
now that's not a bad gain there. $1.72 higher. and marco rubio has a tax plan to be exact. listen to this. >> our leaders put us at a disadvantage by taxing and borrowing and regulating like it was 1999. if we reform our tax code and reduce regulations and control spending and modernize our immigration laws and repeal to replace obamacare. if we do these things, the american people will create billions of better paying modern jobs. stuart: specific plan 35% the top rate of personal income tax. 25% top rate of corporate tax. that's the plan. somebody else had a specific plan, herman cain, he had the 9-9-9 plan. herman, welcome to the program. they killed you for it dem demagogued you to death. do you think rubio is going to get the same treatment?
12:32 pm
>> i don't think so i replaced the plan to replace the tax code. rubio's plan along with mike lee, they are modifying the existing tax code. irs doesn't go away they don't collapse the brackets. the biggest thing i like is they allow immediate expensing of capital investment. that's huge for businesses. but i don't think he's going to get killed because of those suggestions that he's making with the current plan. it's just not bold enough. stuart: yeah, but it's doable isn't it? arguably -- >> it is doable. stuart: when rand paul says do away with the irs, put your tax return on a postage card. i don't think that's doable. that's reaching for the moon and it's not going to happen. on the other hand rubio is reaching for something which is doable. it's reaganesque. he did it maybe rubio could do it see what i mean. >> i see what you mean stuart. maybe this is the first time
12:33 pm
you and i disagree on something. i don't want to go for doable. the american people are sick and tired of doable. they want a real solution and i believe that the american people have an appetite for bold solutions, so i wouldn't discount rand paul or ted cruz wanting to replace the tax code. that's what the american people want, and i believe that they ought to push for that, if they get elected. stuart: but you know, it sets yourself up for being demagogued to death. look what they did to you on 999. you were at 9% top personal income tax rate. 9% top corporate tax rate. 9% national sales tax. 9-9-9. everybody understood it ask killed you for it. >> yes, they did. criticized me for it, but remember, stuart a lot of the criticism was just flat-out lies about the way it worked. if you going to put a bold solution on the table for anything, be prepared to be attacked and demagogued and i was willing to take those
12:34 pm
attacks because i was willing to push for a bold solution, and i happen to think that the republican nominee of the people who will win the nomination they're going to be the ones with the clearest simplest, most understandable bold solutions not just on tax policy, but on a lot of it lot of other issues. go bold would be my recommendation. stuart: let me come back at you go bold by all means but when? when? because you know i think conservatives are pretty tired of losing, we're tired of seeing america dragged down no prosperity very little growth. we want to win, don't we? >> we want to win, yes, and i believe that you win going bold. one of the things they criticize mitt romney for was not being bold enough and not clear enough on what his tax policy, his economic growth policy was going to be. i believe, for example, in the last november elections, the
12:35 pm
republicans took control of the senate, and they increased their control of the house. the biggest criticism i hear is now that they have control they're not bold enough. they're acting just like the democrats acted, seem to be acquiescing and the american people are sick of that. they want bold solutions, even if it means you have to get attacked, it goes with the territory. stuart: all right, there have you him, herman cain go bold he says that's going to live on videotape forever. so it should stow should. herman, thank you very much as always. appreciate it. >> thank you stuart. stuart: democrat leaders not happy after new york mayor bill de blasio turned his back on hillary clinton after endorsing her bid. charlie gasparino is here. >> bill de blasio comrade? you want to call him that too. stuart: comrade de blasio. he says i want to wait to hear
12:36 pm
what hillary's policies are. >> this to me is a fascinating fight. the mainstream media talks about the inner fightings in the republican party, the tea partiers versus the moderate wing and a civil war inside the republican party. the bigger civil war is unnoticed by the media. that's the left, which is the grassroots, very powerful. represented by comrade bill de blasio and elizabeth warren and president barack obama against what they perceive are the moderates people like the clintons. they ran a very moderate particularly the last term in office, bill clinton's last term, it was a co presidency remember we were told that back then. stuart: rallying around one -- >> i understand that. as we get there there is an interesting civil war going on. i will point out this it being loose like the hillary people were clearly kissing up to bill de blasio when they had one of the main confidants on wall street, you don't hear about
12:37 pm
him, tom nides number two guy at morgan stanley. number two under secretary of state hillary clinton brought comrade two into morgan stanley to see he's a human being and not left wing share radical. weeks after that, he does the ugatts to tom niddes. by my bigger point, is let me make this point and you can go after me. >> i to ask you a question. >> you can do that, too. >> my bigger point is this is a dis beyond the doubt and all designed to make sure that hillary clinton, it's insurance moves to the left. that's the insurance policy. >> to me hillary clinton has new york slam-dunk with or without comrade de blasio. she has all of the left
12:38 pm
slam-dunk. she has the same problem that certain republicans have which is winning the primary, winning the nod and the republicans for the far right could be different than winning the general election. it's the intangibles, the independents who may not like the left policies. winning new york is a slam-dunk. you think she could lose new york state? >> no. bill de blasio. stuart: she's not going to lose new york. >> that's not my point. bill de blasio does not represent. barack obama does not represent new york city. elizabeth warren does not represent new york city. that coalition of the left which controls the democrat party beyond new york city is what she's playing to. stuart: on that note, hillary taking a page from senator elizabeth warren, roll that tape. >> americans have fought their way back from tough economic times but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at top. stuart: just want to break away for a second.
12:39 pm
president obama is meeting with the prime minister of iraq, i think that's the official title. prime minister of iraq. that's shots from inside the white house. we understand that the iraqis are asking for billions of dollars from president obama to defeat isis. listen in for just one moment. >> relations with iran as well, and the point at which dash or isil was surging and the iraqi government was getting organized at that point the mobilization of shia militias was something that was understood to protect baghdad or other critical areas. once prime minister abaddi took power once he reorganize the government and the security forces, once the coalition came in, in a -- at the invitation of and an agreement with a
12:40 pm
sovereign iraqi government then our expectation is from that point on any foreign assistance that is helping to defeat isil has to go through the iraqi government. that's how you respect iraqi sovereignty. that's how you recognize the democratic government that was hard earned and that is being upheld in the work that prime minister abaudi is doing in reaching into the factions of iraq. i think prime minister abadi's position is he welcomes help as you just heard, but it needs to be help that is not simply coordinated with the iraqi government, but ultimately is answerable to the iraqi government, and is funneled through the chain of command within the iraqi government.
12:41 pm
and that's what we've been very careful to do. i've made clear from the outset that isil is an enemy and we will make sure that they do not threaten the united states and we will go after them wherever they are. but when we are working with strong ally and partner like iraq -- >> that's the president speaking right there in the white house. he had a meeting with prime minister abadi of iraq. the president is saying we'll help fight isis but it goes through the iraqi government. that's what the president said just a moment in the white house. here's what's next, brent bozell not afraid to speak his mind. the mainstream media did fawn all over hillary clinton. will senator rubio get a fair and balanced coverage? will he?

conservative as hillary clinton is liberal? is that fair? stuart: yes yes. >> okay. these words, rough sledding hard line stupid uppity loud mouth. flame thrower scary, dangerous slimy fire brand extremist. these were all words used by the media to describe ted cruz when he announced. when hillary announced over the weekend, they didn't even call her a liberal. stuart: okay. i've got a whole list here brent. bear with me. another example also from nbc from this morning. roll tape. >> a problem now is not to prove people she's ready to be president because people she is. the two words she needs is fun and new. part of why yesterday was so successful she looked like she was having fun and looked like she was doing new stuff. we've never seen her get a burrito before. stuart: fun and new and nobody recognized her in chipotle go. >> close your eyes, this is the
