president trump making good on a campaign promise. effectively canceling president obama's climate change policies. bringing life to at least one industry. attorneys generals are vowing to fight the new executive order. from homeless to the white house. unbelievely inspirational story one of the small business owners who met with president trump yesterday. wait until you hear her. she joins us this hour. melissa: back to the rally on wall street. the dow taking off like a rocket, seeing the biggest gain since march 1st. go straight to adam shapiro on floor of new york stock exchange. adam, who were today's big winners? >> talk about taking off like a rocket. talk about apple. look at this stock. it hit a new all-time high during the trading session. 11th record close for the year. apple up more than 23% this year. if you go back 10 years, apple is up 976%.

if it hadn't split this stock would be valued roughly $1000 a share. go, apple. 10cent taken a 5% stake in tesla. they're going to put solar panels on houses today. tesla is one stock up. one stock that was not, snap, down almost 7%. facebook their big competitor rolling out features it says will rifle -- rival snap. not a good day for snap. melissa: adam, thank you. david: stocks reversing to the upside after following comments from house speaker paul ryan. take a listen. >> we'll work together and listen together until we get this right. it is too important. obamacare is a collapsing law. obamacare is doing too much damage to familyies. we're going to get this right. meantime we'll do all of our

other work we came to do. david: that comment, in the meantime, that meant tax cuts. here is gary kaltbaum, kaltbaum capital management, fox news contributor and john petrides. gary, i'm calling it the ryan rally. paul ryan was saying we're together like never. we learned from last week. we'll not make the same mistake as regards taxes. >> i got to tell you i was actually surprised that after last week something he would say would get the market going but you can almost time it to the second. then you combine that consumer confidence number which was gargantuan, with what he said, and i think that is what started things up. keep in mind we were down about 700 dow points. we were set to rally a little bit. that was a pretty good move today. i think a good he low was put in today. david: john, it was about an hour before the market really rallied that the consumer confidence came in. then it was ryan talking.

ryan suggesting that the gop was coming together. that really what did it. >> the fact that ryan said they will stick with their agenda, which was tax reform, deregulation, infrastructure spending is what sent this market higher. those were fearful that there is gridlock within the republican party, fearful of the tax reform which move the stock market the most would be set off the table and ryan dispelled those fears. david: gary, are the markets getting ahead of themselves even though there is a lot of optimism about tax cuts right now? because there is some problems with taxes like disagreement on the border tax, et cetera? >> if they do not get things done they have promise and market taken those promised and kicked some you know what since november 9th, there is eventuality we'll be headed back towards november. they better be cracking. baseball games have nine innings for a reason. we're in the first inning of this administration.

they fumbled it. they can get it back pretty quickly. they still have the white house, senate, and house and governorships. they have to get back to work. david: melissa. melissa: president trump moving forward with another campaign promise. the president signing an executive order to roll back climate regulations from the obama era. blake burman standing by at white house with details on this one. blake? we don't have blake. you know what? i go to gary. how big of a difference that rolling back these regulations will make for the come industry? >> tell all the people that lost jobs in the coal industry. look barack obama was determined and actually stated that he was going after them. you have patriot coal, arch coal, james river, i can name 25 companies went bankrupt. it not only took away jobs from people but destroyed towns. this is a good move. obama overreached.

what he did was, in the last month or two of his presidency he started adding more and more regs into the industry. i'm very happy with this we can find a happy medium between business and the environment. i think we'll be just fine. melissa: john, folks on the left are already fainting from horror at this. i saw headlines fly by about, you know, president trump wrecking the environment. that he is taking a sledgehammer to the wonderful regulation and that president obama put in place. i mean that is the reaction. that is the criticism. what does he say? >> two messages that come across from this, is one, despite your environmental thoughts, trump is consistent with his campaign message in terms of he deregulation which is important. and two, despite strong jobs numbers since 2014, it's been mining and energy sector has been one drag on the jobs numbers. if you have strong jobs numbers continuing, plus an ad-on from these industry, that will be

good news for the u.s. economy. melissa: guys, thank you. david: president trump moving forward as we just said with another campaign promise. the president signed the executive order to roll back obama regulations from the obama era. blake burman with the details. reporter: hi dave, there was a lot of red ink flying around with president trump what he did with an executive order to president obama's green initiatives. at heart, the green power plan, that was obama administration green power plan that tried to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from utilities by a third at 2030. president trump described it as a disaster especially for coal miners. >> perhaps no single regulation threatens our miners, energy companies and more than this crushing attack on american industry. reporter: both the president and vice president said because of this executive order, it is the

start of trying to put an end to, as they put it, the war on coal. as for democrats in a word they were horrified with the president's executive order. congressman, or senator tom carper described it as the country getting darker and dirtier. >> to be, that executive order abandons the progress we've made addressing the threat of climate change, protecting americans health from dangerous pollutants and safe guarding our environment for future generations. reporter: getting back to the white house, david, line from white house press secretary sean spicer was this they say look, you can try to protect the environment, try to protect lands all across the country but also try to promote economic growth. spicer saying those two are not mutually exclusive. david: that's right. they go together. that is blake burman, the star of sean spicer's show ever day in the white house. this guy can't avoid you. reporter: we put hands up asks questions. david: he picks the right people

when he picks you. thank you very much. ford continuing to stay on the president's good side, announcing a fresh round of investments in its michigan plants and getting praise from the commander-in-chief who tweeted, big announcement by ford today. major investment to be made in three michigan plants. car coming back to the u.s. jobs! jobs! jobs! you have to hand it to ford. the f-150 is the best-selling vehicle in america today. i look at a year chart of ford. the stock is up under 12 right now. a year ago it was 16. i would think ford's stock is a bargain, no? >> i totally agree. if you've been a ford shareholder you are frustrated with the stock. you can't look back when you have look forward. pays over 4% dividend yield. inclusion of ford finance division, has more cash than debt on balance sheet. rerolling out of bronco.

the f-150 is coming out. david: why is the stock so low? what is it that the market doesn't get? >> one, this was twitter whipping boy for trump for first couple months. this keeps ford off of trump's twitter page for quite some time. and investors have been fearful of peak auto sales for several months now. david: that's true. there is reason for that. there is build-up of inventor et cetera. gary, trump talking up the stock, f-150, a terrific vehicle, best-selling vehicle in america, i would think it is time to get into ford, no? >> 90% of all stocks are outperforming auto stocks. it is not just ford. it is general motors. also the dealerships. so when something is in a bear market it is very tough. i haven't seen a turn just yet. they have been giving out a lot of incentives.

we've seen peak autos. the numbers are softening. that is part of what is going on. six times earnings, 4% dividend. eventually something gives. it will turn around if the market continues to be strong. david: a year ago, it was 16. now it is 12. seems kind of cheap. gary, john, thank you very much. isn't it nice, melissa finally we're not talking about taxpayer bailouts for a company. a president who talks up a company as part of a capitalist experiment that america is involved, without a taxpayer bailout around the company is doing great. melissa: the criticism, oh, they were going to do these jobs anyway. right. i mean amazes. david: the showdown over sanctuary cities continues. mayors now vowing to defy attorney general jeff session's warning but at what cost? melissa: president trump says the house intel committee is looking at the wrong place, investigating ties to russia, pointing the finger at hillary and bill clinton.

former ambassador john bolton weighs in. david: speaker paul ryan says the republicans are coming together to move the legislation forward. this may be easier said than done. dan henninger from "the wall street journal" editorial page is here to give us his take next. >> today we broke down many of those dividing lines within our conference. there is too much at stake to get bogged down in all of that. we're going to move forward on the things that the american people sent us here to do. ♪ so what else is new? how's your mother? umm..she's doing good. she needs more care though. she wants to stay in her house. i don't know even where to start with that. first, let's take a look at your financial plan and see what we can do. ok, so we've got... we'll listen. we'll talk. we'll plan. baird. or how high the pollen count, flonase allergy relief keeps your eyes and nose clear. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. for relief beyond the nose.

analyst put it congress is calendar constrained to avoid a shutdown and face as deadline for april 2, to get a budget done for current fiscal year, soft set of. there are only 12 legislative days to do it. the president wants budget bill to include billions for the wall on mexican border. democrats say no way. feel emboldened by failure of the republican health care plan on friday. if there is standoff over 2017 funding, congress could punt again and pass so-called continuing budget resolution, a cr to operate the government through september as it tries to get its budget act together for the next fiscal year, 2018, along with tax reform, increasing the debt sealing this fall, maybe, maybe, coming back around to health care. >> there is no desire for a cr. democrats and republicans as senator blount indicated we're working together on this. we fully anticipate getting a outcome prior end of april.

we have to actually. >> they do have to get our votes, given divisions in the caucus and how the senate works. so far things are working out pretty well. we're working well with our republican colleagues as we have in the past. reporter: schumer said democrats favor higher defense spending right now and, while they favor that they also want caps off of non-defense spending and a clean budget bill. no conservative riders such as defunding planned parenthood. melissa? melissa: peter everyone is working well together. they're all playing nice in the sandbox. i don't know what the problem is. thank you for that report. david? david: market certainly hoping so anyway. speaker paul ryan is looking to unite and push the rest of the republican agenda forward. take a listen. >> i don't us to become at factionalized majority. i want us to be a unified majority. that means we'll sit down and talk things out until we get there. we all share these goals. we'll have to figure out how to

get it done. david: here to react, dan henninger, "wall street journal" editorial page deputy editor. dan, perhaps the market is getting ahead of itself but they listen to that and there is an animal spirit taking place in the marketplace and the economy. they want to succeed so much. that's worth something. that properly tapped into, that spirit could turn into huge economic growth, could it not? >> absolutely. i don't think any of us would disagree with that, david. this economy is kept down eight years. there is so much energy waiting to be he released, entrepreneurial energy but congress has to do its part. speaker ryan didn't say they are unified. he said they want to be unified. i don't think they're quite there yet. david: fair enough. here is what some people want to do, in fact about the health care bill he did start out by saying it is not dead yet. this is what charles krauthamer

suggested republicans do about that. take a listen. >> this is what i recommend to the republicans when it comes back, as it will, probably in the fall or winter when obamacare begins to implode. at that point put everything in the house bill. >> let the democrats take the rap when it blows up. >> that's right. there is no other way. david: put everything in a big bill. send it to the senate, let the democrats if they want fall on their sword and say no? >> he is suggesting that at the do that in the fall or in the winter. you've also got tax reform bill that will be starting, they hope to get it done by august. i think problem with that idea is that too many big pieces of legislation would be bumping together. president now want to do tax reform, presumably then infrastructure which is one of his big promises to people. it is hard for me to see how he's going to want to resume a health care reform bill of that magnitude in the fall. david: what paul ryan was saying today as republicans learned their lesson.

we had ted poe already leave the freedom caucus and other people in the freedom caucus are suggesting they will be more negotiable. >> i think the damage is already done. not so much the freedom caucus, what they did to so-called moderates, the members of conference in purple districts. 23 republican members of congress are in districts hillary clinton won in the election, okay? they are the ones who builted last thursday. barbara comstock of virginia, chris smith of new jersey. they are vulnerable to democratic pressure. that is the problem. david: here is the flip side. at least 10 democratic senators are from states that voted heavily for donald trump. they have to answer to their constituents as he will. isn't there one among or several that will make a deal with republicans? >> doesn't look like it. on the gorsuch nomination none is committing to voting for judge gorsuch. david: pat leahy he is not

inclined to filibuster gorsuch. >> yeah. david: there is a break there. wouldn't there be a break on the tax issue? >> i think the burden is on the freedom caucus to make a public commitment to get behind the republican party's goals. look, the democrats have the wind at their back after what happens last thursday. there is no question about it. all the coverage since then has been about disarray in the republican party. and about the democrats taking it. david: bottom line, today what happened after paul ryan spoke? the market zoomed up into triple digits. was that false optimism or ways it based on something gritted in reality? >> it shows what they're capable of achieving if they can get together. if the market goes up much only on basis paul ryan saying we want to be unified and going forward, imagine what happens if they pass tax reform? david: dan henninger, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: democrats calling for house intelligence chair devin nunes to recuse himself from the

russian probe but he is standing strong. plus president trump met with women business owners at the white house yesterday. one story stood out to him. >> i hear that lisa phillips has an amazing story to tell. can you tell it in front of the cameras? i hear that you have one of the really amazing stories to tell. melissa: she told the president her story. now she is here to tell all of us. that is coming up. hi, i'm mindy kearns. it's great to finally meet you. nice to meet you too. your parents have been talking about you for years. sorry about that. they're all about me saving for a house, or starting a college fund for my son. actually, i want to know what you're thinking. have a seat. knowing that the most important goals are yours. multiplied by 14,000 financial advisors, it's a big deal. and it's how edward jones makes sense of investing.

melissa: okay, we have something new coming in from intel chairman devin nunes. coming in a minute ago. let's listen to it. [inaudible]. >> you guys ask the same questions over and over again. >> today did anyone at white house. >> total false story. >> why not recuse yourself from the investigation? >> i still don't know why. you give me a reason to recuse myself i might consider it. >> critics say you're too close to the trump administration to

the lead investigation. >> i don't know they said that. >> will you share your source? >> we will never reveal sources and methods. >> even to other members of the committee. >> nope, never. >> when will they see the documents. >> as soon as [inaudible] >> is that a week. >> actually more than a week. [inaudible] >> will they get it sometime this week? >> we hope so. >> you're confident. >> my guess it will be -- [inaudible] >> you're confident -- >> i already answered all these questions. >> you confident that you can still head this investigation? >> yes. david: catherine herridge, fox news chief intelligence correspondent, who has all answers to all intel questions, usually as least as anybody else does in the whole world is here. catherine, first of all are we ever boeing to find out where chairman nunes got this information? and two, we suspect it is nsa but we don't foe for sure, and two, will we find out who was in there? which u.s. citizens were in

those reports that were revealed? >> well, based on our reporting here at fox news i believe we'll get the rough outlines of what these documents are maybe, a he declassified version in the future. and i think we'll get a pretty clear picture who in the trump transition team was identified or intelligence community says, unmasked in the process of putting these intelligence reports together. what i would emphasize to people at home, while it is confusing, the bottom line is this allegation, at least two people on the team, trump team, were identified, that led to more intelligence reports being generated, and while people weren't named in those reports, you know you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to understand who they were talking about because who the conversation involved, david. david: that's very interesting. because if they were not named, does that mean it is incorrect to say they were unmasked? because unmasking u.s. citizens

caught up in a surveillance project like this would be if not illegal, at least terribly improper? >> right. >> david: if they weren't actually named is that okay? >> maybe i didn't explain it that well. two people were identified or unmasked behave on our reporting. that led to more intelligence reports and in this second batch, if you will, names were not unmasked based on what i know but it's like, you know, david, it is an intelligence report about your wife and talking about what you're having for lunch and dinner. i know who that is even if it doesn't mention you by name, does that make a lot of sense? david: it does. it leads to the question, what was the intel, whoever released this information, if it was improper to do so, it appears quite clear that they were trying to harm the trump administration or the incoming trump administration, no? >> well, we don't have, we don't have access, first-hand access

to these records but, this central allegation from the republican chairman that they had nothing to do with russia, it is hard to imagine under what circumstances they would have collected this information if not to at least understand what the incoming admin doing or undermined them. i don't think we want to get too far out there. the thing to watch for people at home, whether this kind of awesome power that the intelligence agencies have, to look at phone records, whether in this case they turned that power on american citizens which is something that you know, privacy advocates have been warning about really in the post-9/11 world. david: sure. catherine herridge, good stuff. reporter: you're welcome. david: melissa. melissa: michael blake, dnc vice-chair and new york state assemblyman. thanks for joining us. i don't know if you heard devin nunes said it is not his place to share this information. >> well it seems interesting that you know, congressman nunes every few moments has a new answer but the real problem is that the american people are not getting answers.

we need to better understand why did you cancel committee hearings? why did you cancel testimony? why did you say clearly you had duty and obligation to the president, not to the country. this is absolutely critical we find this out immediately. there is a sitting united states president administration under fbi investigation for potential collusion, coordination with russia. the house intelligence committee chair believes it is more important to go to the white house, to find out information, to not share it with his colleagues, and more and more people are saying enough is enough. more than 2/3 of americans say we need to understand what is happening, we need to know what is happening now. melissa: i want to play with you his reaction to the allegations. >> when we go to the executive branch at least once or twice a week. this is not unusual because there are intelligence products because we don't have access to in the house of representatives. but we do have the clearances to see them. there was no sneaking around. i walked on to the grounds. said hi to people.

did not go to the west wing. did not talk to the president. melissa: he goes on to say, i thought we were going to play it for you there, this had nothing to do with russia, the information, he said that he repeatedly every single time from the beginning. how in your mind then is it related to this investigation into the trump administration and russia? what he saw there was totally unrelated to russia? >> it is completely ridiculous what he is saying. melissa: why is it ridiculous? are you calling him a liar? >> because let me convey a few reasons. number one, i worked in the white house 2 1/2 years under president obama. you don't just walk into a white house. you just don't walk on to the grounds. that had to be approved and cleared. information is -- melissa: he told mr. o'reilly he didn't go into the white house t was the grounds. you're led to believe it was a different building, he was invited there by a intelligence agencies. you think that is lying? >> even if you go into the eob you still have to be cleared. number two, senator mccain

even indicated he has never heard of such an effort ever before, someone is not releasing and sharing such information you have to go to the white house because of this clearance that he is communicating in this manner. melissa: somebody called him to share information and he went to see it. you think he is lying about all that? >> we don't know what is being conveyed, which is deeper problem. the reality is, there is fbi investigation on a sitting president. you are the chair of the house intelligence committee. you are arriving and not sharing that you're going to the white house. you are briefing the president of the united states. melissa: he says he waved to people. he checked in it was scheduled. people knew he was there all things you are saying he denies. are you saying he is liar. >> i did not convey that clearly what 66% of americans are conveying. we need to have answers. we need to understand why did you go to the white house, chairman nunes, when no one has ever understood or seen this before. melissa: he documents which he saw and not at liberty to share

and not related to russian investigation. you accept that on its face or are you calling him a liar. are you calling him a liar? >> comfortable and to say that. melissa: so he is liar? >> very easy to dispel the truth when you convey what exactly if you learned what was shared. why did you have to go, chairman nunes. melissa: you're asking these questions because he feels he answered them but you're saying he is lying? >> i think 66% of americans are indicating the same. when you look at reality -- melissa: where are you getting that 66% of americans haven't been asked about, i mean what does that have to do with anything. are you saying he is a liar and you need an explanation. >> i think many of us do not believe -- melissa: including you. >> 66%. melissa: i don't care about 66% of the americans. i'm asking you, sir. i am asking you if you're calling him a liar? >> maybe is the problem that, if you're not caring about what 66% of the americans. melissa: i'm asking you, sir, your avoiding the question.

are you, his explanation. are you calling him a liar yes or no? >> i think i'm being very clear. melissa: that he is a liar. >> the chairman needs to communicate. >> no i did not say it. melissa: he answered your question. he said he went there in order, he was called there so review information. he saw it. he is not at liberty to share it. had nothing to do with russia. has no pertinence to the committee and investigation that they're overseeing. that he saw the information not related to russia. so if you think -- >> and yet senator graham has indicated that they should share the information. senator mccain. melissa: not his to share. whatever agency to gave it to him. he would be violated all liking rules everyone else has. >> that is simply not accurate. that is reason congressman walter jones came out few moments ago also said he has to recuse himself. chairman nunes should recuse himself from the process. we're getting distracted from the core point. there needs to be 9/11 style inquiry has to occur what can be

recommendations moving forward. equally we need to understand what happened prior. why there needs to be special prosecutor at department of justice. let's be very clear, there has been no evidence conveyed at all why did you cancel the committee hearings. why did you cancel these efforts, especially when you learned from the former acting attorney general sally yates she was going to share information that crass contradictory to what existed. on top of that, chairman nunes, very clearly conveyed as member of transition committee for president trump, president-elect trump at the time allegiance that he he conveyed. he said it. no one else said. melissa: all right. >> he feels duty and obligation to the president. melissa: refutes pretty much everything you just said. thank you for coming on. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. very much. david: want to switch gears to oil, following stocks. settling up 1.3%. this is near a one-week high. 4.37 a barrel. prices rising from four months lows -- 48.37. libya militia shut down key

don't write off the president just yet. presidents suffered from lower approval numbers and bounced back. doug wead, presidential historian and special assistant to president george h.w. bush. there is your book, game of thorns. by time ronald reagan left office, his approval rating went way up to 63%. there is no telling what happens now compared to what will happen at the end of his term. >> that is absolutely right. the mainstream media should not be popping the champagne just yet it -- we had eight presidents, david in recent times, modern times who had lower approval ratings than donald trump has right now. in the first one hundred days, you will remember john f. kennedy experienced the bay of pigs. it was a disaster. david: of course. >> but he gave the great speech a year later at at rice. we choose to go to the moon, not just it is easy but because it

is hard. he is one of our most beloved presidents. david: absolutely. >> reagan was shot in his first 100 days. the only thing he signed a support bill about dairy price supports. but he is ranked by history as one of our greatest presidents. they say lincoln saved the union but reagan saved humanity. david: what unites jfk, john f. kennedy, and ronald reagan, their popularity numbers turned around when they got tax cuts in. great jfk tax cuts. rates came down. economy boomed. same happened with reagan. maybe there is a lesson for trump. >> that is great point. in "game of thorns." he tried to build a neighborhood in riverside. he got strong resistance. built something near wall street. built trump tower. built the tallest residential building in the world near the u.n.

he came back to riverside. today the people that live there and they look out at the lazy sailboats in the bay, they don't even know that is donald trump neighborhood. that is how he see him coming back to health care. he will leave it but he will come back. david: we'll see. we'll see. finally the media, the media has just been relentless trying to tear down trump so far. look at headlines. the trump presidency is already a joke. the soul-sucking, attention-eating, black hole of the trump presidency. has any president received headlines like this? >> they have, not this early. i'm reminded of lee corso's great line, not so fast my friends. trump has a lot left in him. it is exciting. the best way to tell is that stock market. that's where people put their money. david: that's true. >> they're putting their money on donald trump. that he will figure all this out. david: doug wead, great to have you here again. thanks for coming back. appreciate it. melissa. melissa: president trump calling out his former campaign rival.

david: president trump turning things around a little, calling for an investigation into the clintons russian ties. the president tweeting quote, why isn't the house intel committee looking into the bill and hillary deal allowed big uranium to go to russia? russian speech, money to bill? hillary russian reset. praise of russia by hillary or boy desat that russian company. trump russia story is a hoax. here now is ambassador john bolton, former ambassador to the united nations and a fox news contribute. a lot of speculation put out by democrats by donald trump and trump associate in russia. we have more than speculation about the clintons, we have facts.

a company that eventually behave russia 20% of all of our uranium, giving $2.35 million to the clinton foundation. this is while hillary clinton was secretary of state. we also have bill clinton receiving $500,000 in speech money, also when hillary was secretary of state from a bank called renaissance capital. has very close ties with the putin administration. so you get all this regard to trump but you have real fire with regard to the clintons? >> yeah. look i think the real issue that the house and senate intelligence committees are investigating is foreign influence in american elections and american governmental decision making. that is something that americans across the board ought to be able to agree about. it is one thing to register as a foreign agent. at least then that is disclosed. a lot of foreign governments have lobbyists. it is all this money flowing around we can't even see through the disclosure thing. david: that's right. >> i would say, if the whole

clinton thing is innocent, fine, get it out in the open but let's see what the foreign influence really is. david: think of what russia was doing while they were giving all this money via surrogates to the clinton foundation and bill clinton. they were preparing to invade crimea and take it over from ukraine. this is what they were doing while secretary clinton was sitting in the state department. i mean, you know, mike flynn, for all the bad things that he might have done in misleading the trump administration, was a u.s. citizen while he was getting paid by russian tv. >> yeah. look, the justice department apparently at one point did have an investigation underway about the activities of the clinton foundation. it is not clear whether they still do or not. but would i certainly like to know a lot more about that too. while james comey, the fbi director and others are spilling their guts about this investigation or that investigation, let's hear about what we found out about the clinton investigation.

the key thing everybody thought she was going to be president. they thought an investment in the clinton foundation was an investment in the clinton presidency. so i would like to know a lot more frankly about what went into it. david: john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n. good to see you, john. thank you very much for being here. melissa. melissa: from homeless to business owner, at the white house. how won whimpers veered and given a chance to sit down with the president. she is here coming up next. ♪

you made a basket for a family member, a celebration basket. it was so beautiful that people around you were looking at them right now. people around you, and in your classes wanted them. someone said to you, you have a talent. that is your business. that is how the whole thing got started, right? >> oh, my goodness, i was doing a marketing presentation and, unbeknownst to me, a sign-in sheet went around the class, there were orders. my professor said to me, you need to speed your presentation up because you have orders. i said, orders for what? orders for a gift basket. i said i don't do this as a business. you do now. melissa: so inspirational, you lifted yourself up. celebrate us gift baskets. there is extra e in the middle because it is extra great for your baskets. what did it feel like to have the president recognize you and commend you like that? >> wow, it was unbelievable because there were so many wonderful entrepreneurs so much
