dagen: jonas. >> software improvement the google network is not much closer to being a reality but the old-fashion internet can make you money with 20% of the year. dagen: speaking of hot air, that's it for us. niel, everybody, is right now. >> the media is trying to tack our administration because they know we are following through on pledge that is we made and they are not happy about it, for whatever reason. tomorrow the headlines are going to be donald trump rants, i'm not ranting. neil: you know, he's right. i'm niel cavuto and like i said, he got that one to a tee because an hour and 17 minute conference and accusing the media, here at fox we are all for fair and balance and giving you the good and the bad and since everyone

was focusing on the failures, we thought we would point out as we do each and every day on the successes as well. we figured it's a 24-hours news network, we have time. like the head chrysler investing a billion dollars, gm investing a billion dollars. 7,000 jobs, indel, $7 billion adding 10,000 jobs when it's all said and done. you get the idea, to charles payne, charlie gasparina, charles, thank you for hosting last week. [laughter] neil: what do you make of this? donald trump, the good, the bad, get it all out there. the president did have a point that a disproportion amount of focus on my failures. >> you're being diplomatic, let's face it. the media went to war with donald trump, the candidate. they really did.

neil: do you not like him? charles: they are treating him like a clown and wouldn't cover him as a true politician. hey, they really beat him up over and over again. he had to get a lot of stuff off his chest and i think the american public enjoyed it as well because the media has put themselves above everyone. they never look at mirror and look at themselves. i understand that most of the ideology are most left-leaning. they've lost a lot of credibility. neil: i wonder if you can risk going too far. some do soul searching. donald trump didn't ruin our reputation, we did. i'm paraphrasing, some journalists are looking, not many. >> not very many and we have consistently throughout the campaign that likely voters, they saw the media bias over and over even last month, after the campaign is over, after donald trump won the election, nearly half of likely voters saw the

media being biased. neil: that's the difference of new york calling. >> politically engaged people. neil: how did you feel when the washington post called you outliers. >> the washington post pick it is polls to force their narrative of donald trump not doing well in terms of public approval. what i find ironic, the media use today love it when president obama pointed out the bias. i was at president president obama correspondent dinner. 3,000 white house press correspondents, most of you covered me, all of you voted for me and you know what, niel, they burst into laughter in agreement, they loved being called bias by president obama. neil: that's interesting. >> a mutual admiration society. i think it was supposed to be labor secretary announcement yesterday, though. wasn't he supposed to -- neil: that was brilliant. a quick reference to it and then goes all to the accomplishments.

>> an hour and a half -- >> 77 minutes. >> he answered many questions, many more than president obama. charles: 17 reporters. neil: is that right? >> president obama was drawn on 45 minutes for one question. neil: he didn't avoid them. >> what he said, was not -- >> i could not disagree with you. i have been so patient here. >> all liberals think that he's about to press the button. if you think about what he said about the russian submarine -- >> adam, you're not buying it. >> no, no. because niel, i i have fun with you when you call me a liberal, i say, well, i don't like labels, i like the label of being a journalist and i could not disagree with the thrust of this conversation more. the media's job is to hold every

president accountable, the president when he rantsz and raves and whines is doing a disservice. neil: do you find that he might have a point when they disproportionately focus on negative than the positive? all i'm saying do both. that's what good journalists should do. >> i think the operative word there, niel, is disproportionate. the media has reported on job gains, the concessions that he has -- neil, not nearly closely enough. i'm not saying -- yeah, but you just got my point. gary, that's my worry. i'm not saying to be a

cheerleader. this guy avoids my show. >> he loves you. [laughter] neil: gary, all i'm saying is treat him fairly. treat him fairly and that i don't see. >> if you turn on these networks and look at the bottom of this screen and look all you see are the words racist, radical -- >> finger on the button. neil: that's just gasparino. >> hitler, stalin, like it's vanilla ice cream and donald trump had enough. in the last week a reporter from "the new york times" called the first lady a hooker and you know what happened to the reporter, nothing. if a reporter said the same thing about michelle obama, they would be vanished up to mount everest, addressed in shorts and tank top and be castigated by the media. it's ridiculous what's going on

at this point in time. >> we are not talking what was imposed in wikileaks about top media people colluding with the hillary clinton campaign to try to give her an inch or butter them off. neil: adam is right on there. we are not talking about the campaign anymore. >> these are the same people from the campaign at the press conference. >> every person has gone after the press, obama complained about us. neil: right. [laughter] >> i wasn't sean or anybody or o'reilly. if he focuses on the media constantly, he's not going to get much done. neil: that's where the markets come in. petty grudges on both sides. i'm wondering to the degree that he's crewed, you know what i mean, the tax cuts, everything

else, they know he could be distracted and they will distract to the point -- charles: in the midst of all of that he did give us a timeline on obamacare. he gave us enough that the dow closed up that day. neil: the dow is still up a lot year to date, up a lot since election. the things that could undo it is this kind of stuff. charles: let's not forget that the night donald trump was elected the equity show that had the market was going to crash. neil: that's right. charles: he came out with eloquent acceptance speech and followed up by acts of presidentialness that we think that we put in the central -- >> an economic plan. charles: what i'm trying to say is he will pivot at the right time. i don't think every conference can be like this. the first one he had to get a lot off his chest. >> i think it serves another

purpose, by showing the media bias and i would say with "the new york times" story about mike flynn and fbi investigation and the washington post, what donald trump is also doing is blunting the impact of those stories on his -- neil: he can't avoid them. adam , where do you see them going? part of the agenda is let's get in so side track that none of this ever happens which might be the goal? >> yeah, the ball is in his court. if he behaves with decoruim in the way we expect the united states president to behave in public -- neil: you better behave. i want everybody to be nice to everyone. [inaudible] >> what's the craziest thing he said this week? >> it's his tone. he's representing the entire united states, charlie. >> what did he say that was

crazy? he said nothing that was crazy. >> come on, charlie. [laughter] neil: he did say that i'm rubber out of news glow, bounces off of me. i'm kidding. [laughter] neil: businesses across the country shutting down as workers speak up and join protest,ia day without immigrants, wait a minute. wasn't the idea to focus on a day without illegal immigrants?

to send it now back to cavuto on business. neil: sometimes i'm glad you're not here during the breaks. did any of you see this, workers walking off the jobs, students skipping school, all to protest on thursday what was built a day without immigrants. you know, gary, properly asking, shouldn't they have called a day without illegal immigrants and just be honest about it, but that has morphed into a discussion, well, immigrants or legal immigrants, what's the difference, right, gary? >> yeah, look, i don't think they want to distinction between the two. it is simple as that and the shame of all this, i know plenty of people that came here legally, they went through time, toil, sweat, tears, lawyers, money, you name it to get here legally and do tit right way and what you're telling anybody who

wants to come in the right way, just cross the border illegally and we will take care of you and that's how you get into what we have been in the last years. charles: i agree. you know, it's just one of these tough things because it's going -- we are going to come to a head and we are talking about president trump, the dabbinga situation is going to be the next big issue that's going to tug at our heart strings but we also have to address what the laws of our nations are. neil: what do you think? charlie zaa -- >> she probably did more than once. [laughter] >> i don't see where they get off skipping school. this is ridiculous. shouldn't they get thrown out of

school? neil: i could see where it was going and morphed it together and say immigrants. there's a huge difference. >> there are legal differences and if you're against illegals now you're against immigrants. >> the left has been working on the project to inflate illegal for a long time. we are not supposed to call them illegal aliens anymore. undocumented migrants. playing with language to blur the distengs between legal and illegal. most people want immigration reform. they want a system that's fair. >> we can't get it adam is kind her and gentler than all of us. it makes it hard to solve the problem, doesn't it? >> first of all, the administration with sloppily introduced travel ban, those were legal immigrants, people with visas, et cetera, that's one thing too. the bush administration and the

obama administration tried very hard to work on immigration reform and to work on getting these illegal immigrants legal and the people who -- it's affecting families, legal immigrants. a few people got stuck at the airport and you guys go nuts. >> that's not the way we see it. i'm not going to take that bait, charlie. neil: we have to watch the wording we use. it gets in the way of solving anything if you're making a blanket statement and equating

legal and illegal immigrants. most of us are thrown in the same crazy pop. again, that's just me and my name is on the show. in the meantime -- [laughter] neil: president trump getting to work, what about republicans in congress, what about them after this? so how old do you want to be when you retire? uhh, i was thinking around 70. alright, and before that? you mean after that? no, i'm talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? oh yeah sure... ok, like what? but i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement? we're absolutely doing that.

>> he's working on obamacare, it's going to be very soon, right? >> yes. [laughter] neil: tell him how you're working on it? president trump pressuring paul ryan on obamacare as the cameras were rolling, it looks like that got the ball rolling because a couple of dais later ryan was announced that republicans would introduce replacement and it could be sped up and done faster than that. charles says this is proof turning up the heat and maybe embarrassing people in the middle of a oval office event helps. charles: it's worked across the board. adding even more heat to etna ceo saying that this whole thing is em-- emploring. they may need a replacement a lot sooner. >> etna requiring people to indicate f they have health insurance which is going to accelerate a death spiral that

we are talking about, but i have a little bit different opinion in terms of the order of legislation and i think you and i agree with this. i think that they should be tackling jobs and the economy and tax reform and getting this economy moving and using that good will and using that political capital to then -- neil: then deal with obamacare. charlie: there's a lot of planning you can do. getting -- having the economy, you know, growing at 4% will do a lot. >> remember the economy was the number one issue for voters in november. neil: you're right, gary, i heard this explained by one republican say, you forget that in obamacare you repeal and replace, you're getting rid of a lot of taxes but a lot of the taxes are skewed to the upper incomes so they might be kind of dragging the cart before the horse here, right? >> yeah, and look, i'm really worried about how long this is going to take. we are talking about a complex

set of rules and regulations and mandates and let me tell you, there are 1,000 counties in this country with just one provider. that's what the etna ceo meant by death spiral and now you have humana saying bye, bye in 2018. they better get it done right. neil: adam, in the end, whatever they come up with they will get democratic support as well or some sort of bipartisan support? >> i don't think, they won't get republican support. president trump is going the find out just how hard it is to do legislation like that inside his own party. neil: you seem to be -- [laughter] >> not this time, no. >> ten democratic senators in state that trump won. so they have an incentive. neil: no democratic support.

trump credit. consumers are spending. [laughter] >> and following the trends. the cost of freedom now with david asman on the place for business, fox. >> we're going to provide tax relief for families and simplify greatly the tax code, it's too complicated. we're going to lower the rates substantially for virtually everybody in every category. >> music to our ears. president trump renewing his promise to cut taxes after dealing with obamacare, but we may need it sooner because the u.s. just falling to a record low on the world economic freedom index, dropping from 11 down to 17, behind countries like the netherlands and lithuania is higher than we are. some here say we can bounce back to the top if the president and r
