i'm jamie colby. thanks for watching "strange inheritance." and remember -- you can't take it with you. hanging out with the credit union industry. lou dobbs is next. lou: good evening, washington tonight abuzz with reports, rumors and rank speculation about what the president intends to on a number of critical issues and challenges as his first 100 days have 48 hours remaining. the 100 day mark is arbitrary, in fact meaningless, you would not know that watching many of television news outlet for reading reports of news organizations, president trump is working diligently, tireless le tirelessly, on a broad away of big issues. the questions are state

forward, will the house or will it not deliver a health care bill in next two days? it depends on what rules committery accomplished tonight, and will president succeed in avoiding a government shut down as threatened by the dems, will the house move forward on tax reform. the would does not wait while president trump decides what to do about each issue. north korea for example cannot be deferred, or iran or russia or china. posing significant china, all potentially confrontations. president trump today surprising almost everyone with his announcement he spoke with the leaders of canada, and mexico and agreed too renegotiate rather than withdraw from nafta. >> i said, i will hold on the temp nation, let's see -- termination, let's see if we can make it a fair deal it has been horrible for united states it has been very good for canada andexico, but horrible for the united

ates, if you check m campaign -- any of my speeches, i said i will either renegotiator term night. they asked me to renegotiate, i will. lou: and this has been a briz a busy week for president who is dealing with threat of a government shut down. that appears tonight to perhaps subsided. republicans announcing they will move forward with a short-term spending plan to keep government running through may 5, giving lawmakers more time to renegotiate a longer term package. some congressional democrats still threatening they will oppose the measure if g.o.p. plans a health care vote between new and saturday. we're go to find out whether that will occur, fox news senior producer chad good evening. >> the house rules committee is in recess, they have prepped the interim spending package for the house floor tomorrow.

probably in senate as well. they have to knock that out of the park by 11:59 at night or government will shut down. what is in limbo is healthcare and whether or not they will consider the healthcare bill. i am told it could be a late night, if they come back late they could add this in, try t to -- try to too healthcare tomorrow or weekend. they are trying to court moderated republicans, the nos of the undecided, they did pick up a conservative, ted yo-ho of florida, he said she a yes, but under duress. >> that great english fills on o-- philosopher, mick jagger said, you can't always get what you want. you get what you need. reporter: that is -- they might be willing to vote for this bill, even though it is not precisely repeal and replace obamacare the way they defined it on the campaign

trail. this is a little bit better. lou: accepting it or not we'll hear a lot in next 24 hours about the direction of the concluding hours of the 100 days. it is orb arbtrary, and pure nonsense. it seems that the president himself is comfortable with where he is right now with his agenda, he is projecting it seems to me, the knowledge that the pressure is on paul ryan, the speaker to deliver his conference on the president's agenda. it looks to me like we've seen a dramatic change in demeanor, and standing if you will, in washington d.c. and the republican party? >> it seems as though the president, is really pushing this.

we heard late last night, that there could be a push to go to the rules committee, the gateway to house floor, you know a bill is comes on healthcare today. that will be remain to be seen, it has like house republican leadership and president have been talking past 1 another one another. there was an interest -- an hour ago, a republican from oklahoma. , he said that if they don't start dealing with these issues better -- capitol hill, they should judge have known that government funding deadline of the coming up, and they did not do president any majors -- favors, he was critical of house republican leadership, saying they knew that the deadline was coming up, they should not have left them with the problem. and hastings from florida, said it absurd that republicans hold all levers in washington, they are here at 11th hour, this have a one week interim spending bill,

hastings predicts if they don't get something together quickly, next week the fifth of may they will be here again trying to fund the government. lou: it is likely as you know, being a veteran if you will arof capitol hill history, they will be back. i would like to turn to what you said about the leadership, the criticism of the leadership. there is not a single issue before the republican conference in house of representatives, that is not been screwed up, by speaker paul ryan, and his leadership team, they look awful, it does not as you said, it is not helpful to the president. but this reflects purr purely upon speaker ryan, and his leadership team who have failed the conference, misarably, i for one cannot believe they are tolerating this kind of awkward and

incompetent leadership. reporter: that is what was striking we congressman kohl's criticism, saying they set president up on this spending bill issue, they should have known be better, saying if republicans don't get their act together soon, if we don't get our act together, maybe we won't be in charge much longer. lou: i think that could ba stock october, you know. -- the peak are mad speaker made that famous comment on phone. before the election how he would not support the president. the fact is that, the president is shown a very steep learning curb he is now in command of the government. in command of his administration. and the speaker, has proven himself again to be inept when it comes to administration and politics. unfortunately for the speaker

as any time in our history, but especially now, tad you are adroit we're thrilled to have your reporting. >> we might have more developments later tonight. lou: we're standing by, thank you, chad. >> thank you. lou: breaking news, senate tonight confirming alex acosta as president's new labor secretary, lake labor secretary, last cabinet post this fill president's choice. also he is awaiting a senate vote but has advanced out of committee, congress has a tremendously busy call for over the coming weeks. particularly after the president just outlined his vision for tax reform. a plan that treasury secretary steve mnuchin said is all about economic growth. >> this is now about taking the president's principles and

turning them into a bill that we can get past and the president can sign this year to create economic growth. we're going to work closely with congress to get this done. matt, yes, our principles are we want to pay for this with economic growth and with reducing a lot of special interesting deductions. lou: and our first guest tonight, to discuss how that proposed tax reform plan will boost the middle class and small business in particular, the treasury secretary assistant secretary for public affairs tony sayegh. good to have you with us mr. secretary, turning to i love the adroit way that treasury secretary managed to avoid revenue neutral. it is all, it is going to be paid for by economic growth, straight forward, absolutely true, that is e plan. can i it come true?

>> absolutely, lou. that is what we're working on. there is a lot of alignment in washington on tax reform. we've been meeting with colleagues and partner on capitol hill, chairman brady and the secretary meet weekly. we're focused on bringing this biggest individual and business tax cut in american history forward this year, getting it passed to as secretary suggests, and our economy growth has been staggering slow, stuck in 1.5 to 1.8% range for the last 8 years, taking it back up to 3% and have that happen in a sustained way. what does that mean? some estimates project $2 trillion in added revenue to the federal government. that is helpful, that kind of growth also -- lou: how much additional revenue to the federal government based on higher -- >> compounding effect from one .8 growth to 3.0 projected to be around $2 trillion.

that is how you get in the economy working again, and create better jobs, you reduce middle income taxes from seven brack its tets to to -- brackets to three, you simplify the code. we're keeping charitable. lou: i love -- >> we're closing them loopholes, we're going to protect retirement savings, we understand we have to make the 4 million word tax code, a lot simpler to make it more user family for taxpayers and more efficient for our government. lou: i don't think you would not find much sistance among the republican party on reducing the business tax, 15%.

to repatriate whatever the number turns out to be trillions of dollars in earnings that are now deposited in foreign banks offshore. i should not think there would be much of a problem, a middle class tax cut, this sounds to me like a winning plan, yet already we are hearing from dems, obstructeddism and they want revenue neutral. this is the most particular reaction -- peculiar reaction among people, that are representing middle class, working men and women, some small business and big business. >> i would ask our democratic colleagues to read what comes out in this legislation, they will find this will be a historically, large, massive, middle income tax cut. we've heard from years from

the left is a priority. and reduction from 35% in business tax rate to 15, small businesses, the passers they are called owner-operated, to exist at a competitive tax rate to grow the companies, they can create job,. small business is the engine of job creation. we have trillions offshore we want to be able to give corporations a chance to bring back here to reinvest to create, jobs. this is as much about jobs and economic growth as it is tax reform, people have to understand that. then that would get more people supporting us. lou: mr. secretary, i want it all. i don't want to take -- i want repatriot that trillions, and i want middle classes get tax tshichhey deserve, after having been pressed. the working class, working men and women, need to be at the

apex of their goals any of tax reform. tony sayegh, great to have you with us mr. secretary. >> thank you, lou. lou: we're coming right back, more ahead stay with us. >> president trump with a surprise announcement. saying his administration will not withdraw from nafta but rather renegotiate it. >> we have to make a deal that is fair for the united states i decided rather than temp nating nafta -- temp of terminating nafta, that would be a big shock got system we will renegotiate. >> ed rollins amongly gues my guest next. >> and it is only a matter of time before kim jong-un has the ability to launch a nuclear war ahead against the united states. >> crisis on the korean peninsula is real, it is the peninsula is real, it is the worst i've seen.

president signing a memorandum ordering an investigation to whether aluminum imports are jeopardizing national security. pentagon inspector general launched an investigation to whether michael flynn broke the law when he accepted money from foreign governments? document today release, show flynn was warned in 2014 not to accept money without advance -- joining us now to talk about all this, fox news contributor, great american and good friend ed rollins. >> thank you. lou: let's start with flynn. what could he have been thinking? he sn't. that is poor judgment. this guy, a januar a general

office, head of intelligence division at one point. you know what the rules are, military have very clear cut rules. i don't know if he thought he could get away with it or not, but this is very bad judgment. damaged his career and could have damaged president early on. fortunately the president saw this early on. but before this is over to a certain extent he would have legal problems. >> a guy in service, you go to russia, and accept a substantial amount of money, and you don't think you should run that by someone. lou: how big a trouble do you think he is in?

>> i imagine more than just a congres congressional investigation. i assume he could be indicted on it. lou: president, is tonight, awaiting word from the hill on what is going on with the rules committee what is going on with healthcare legislation. his tax reform, he is taking direct and obvious lead this time on tax reform, unlike healthcare, but it sounds like there is still resistance to healthcare that the health care so-called replacement for repeal and replacement. >> as i said earlier, i think this is -- i think it would be naive to move this thing forward unl you see 216 signatures on a piece of paper. there no maybes, they are not counting votes very well, they did not count votes last time, he cannot have another embarrassment, this has to be done, sealed a member has to

sign it say i am 100% for this and have over 216 to make it work, otherwise i would not move it. lou: this may be a misapprehension on my part, i get feeling that president is leading from strength here. it is clear what he wants, he communicated clearly to the american people what he is doing, whether it is tax reform or whether it is what he wants to do in terms of health care the new legislation. and and i mean, it is straight forward right on the desk of the speaker, he has fail and failed and faild. now the prospect of a possibility of a government shut down because the speaker does not anticipate a calendar. >> he better, if we shut this government down, it will hurt them all. the president's approval numbers are not as important as leadership number, 53% of the country see him as a strong leader, he would beat

hillary clinton in the polls. and ryan is going down like an anchor, wi interesting thing. lou: they reflect his performance. >> i believe so. my sense, he has already on two strike, two outs he better not hit a third strike. >> ed rollins thank you. >> thank you. lou: vote in our poll. do you believe that republicans have to be far stronger and more aggressively led to overcome the historically unprecedented obstructionism of thei the -- dimms? >> on wall street stocks ticking higher, dow gaining 6, s&p you of one, nasdaq up 24. today closing a new record high, volume on big tujung

lou: berkeley police patrolling in riot gear amid protests on the right to free speech on

college campuses. this was to have been the night ann coulter would give a speech on the campus of berkeley university. conservatives finding support as well from unlikely places. james rosen with our report. reporter: good evening. ann coulter has long been one of the most strident of conservative voices with books describing liberals as godless. coupled with the university's evident to cancel or delay coulter's appearance at the university. it was this same university of california berkeley campus that spawned the free speech movement in the 60s when a civil rights activist was prevented from addressing a massive crowd after

the state's president had spoken. the berkeley faculty loosened restrictions on campus political activity. this adds up to a striking reversal in the culture wars. across the country the "times" reports conservatives like coulter are eagerly throwing themselves into volatile situations like berkeley. few could have predicted the american civil liberties union which coulter in 2009 called the leading hate group in america has risen to her defense. fox news contributor guy benson

is the coauthor of the 015 book "end of discussion." police cal correctness has been with us -- political correctness has been with us for decade to shut down quote unnote problematic viewpoints and it's escalating. reporter: coulter has withdrawn from the event, but she told the associated press she may still swing by to say hi to her supporters. lou: we'll see if it's fansly political correctness on the part of berkeley university. maybe it's fascism. the freedom caucus on board with the new health plan, and the white house is confident a vote will come soon. >> the president wants a vote and the healthcare system as soon as possible.

we feel positive about the work to get to that. >> among those on board with the president's plan, congressman jim jordan joins me next. this group of climbers conquering caves and a sheer rock face for a remarkable stunt. we recently had a heart attack. but we are not victims. we are survivors. we are survivors. we are survivors. and now we take brilinta. for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack.

lou: some house democrats are threatening a shutdown if the republicans try to move on a healthcare bill this week. jim jordan is serving on the judiciary and oversight committees. i know you have got a lot going. 435 of you have a lot going tonight. let's start with the repeal and replacement effort, a way forward on healthcare reform. where does it stand? >> it's interesting. the democrats want to make sure obamacare in its entirety stays as a burden on the american people and they want to shut down the government to make sure that happens. we think the bill is moving in the right direction. as you know, the vast majority of the freedom caucus supports this legislation.

if they take that option we think premiums will come down and we can begin to fully repeal it. we think it's the best bill we can get out of the house right now. but we have got more work to do later. hopefully the vote will happen as soon as possible. >> you have been consistent throughout saying you ought to be doing what you were elected to do. on the part of the president as well one of the promises is to move the premiums down and try to control the cost of healthcare itself. i want to turn to the rules committee, to the prospect here. you all control the house as we discussed, and we all know full well the republicans control the senate and the white house. yet it seems as though the democrats are the ones calling shots whenever the pressure build to this point, that is the actual passage of legislation

and advancing an agenda. is there any way in which the republican party can respond that will make the american people pleased, convinced and persuaded that they are in charge? >> it comes back to what we told them we were going to do. do what they elected us to do. the spending bill? that means standing up and getting done what we told them we were going to accomplh. last year we did a short-term spending bill because we wanted to wait until we had the white house. we said let's wait until president trump is sworn in so we can deal with the border wall funding. we can deal with the things. >> your speaker says there isn't going to be a border wall appropriation. we have a contest over the shutdown. as it stands right now, and i

would like your reading on this. the shutdown has bennett appears avoided -- it appears avoid and tax reform is a possibility. am i correct in those statements? >> we should use this opportunity to do what we said the voters were going to do what we sent them here to accomplish. we should be working on the tax reform legislation needed for a broken tax code. so let's all those things need to happen because that's what we told the voters we wer do when they elected us. lou: the president taking the lead on tax reform? >> what they rolled out yesterday was good. any tax code on the corporate side which says to american companies you are going to pay the highest rate in the world is stupid. if you have a tax code that's

broken and stupid you might want to change it. but let's let families keep more of their hard-earned money and let's create a tax code conducive to economic growth. let's not operate in a revenue neutral framework we have been talking about. the tax burden will stay the same. but we'll reshuffle who paves what. that means let temperature not focus on that. let's focus on letting families keep their money, more of what they earned. lou: we are out of time, but as usual i have got something else to say. i just recall too vividly the people who tried to say revenue neutral means the say thing as a spending reduction on the part of the federal government. for those people saying that were conservatives over the years. so it's great to hear you point

out the reality, the truth, as always. and good luck over the weekend and beyond as you take on these issues. are you taking over the oversight committee? >> i'm focused on these issues we just talked about. that's a decision for down the line. we have to get done what we have been talking about here. lou: thanks for being with us. lou: please roll the video. you didn't think we would go without a video, did you? this daredevil and the rest, they are planning extraordinary heights for a daring stunt a pelling down the cliff face. taking a leap -- rapels down the cliff face.

they open their parachutes and landed safely. who among them would dream up that stuff? our top commander in the pacific says north korea is our country's most immediate threat. >> kim jong-un is making progress on his quest for nuclear weapons. lou: john bolton joins us next. stay with us. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates aeal of the dentures in my mouth. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. try super poligrip free.

lou: 61% of those surveyed approve of president trump's decision to drop that moab bomb in afghanistan. 61% approve of the decision to carry out the cruise miss soil strikes in syria in response to the syrian use of the chemical what he phones against their own people. you can see 53% to 39%. this very good news for

president trump. joining me, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, fox news contributor, ambassador john bolton. let's start with two soldiers killed in afghanistan. two service members in roughly the same region in which we dropped that moab bomb. we have about 9,000 troops there. we are it seems struggling right now with both the mission and tactically. your thoughts? john: i think under obama despite early efforts to try to do better in dealing with taliban and al qaeda, we see isis expanding there, taliban has been improving its military position. this is evidence this is a truly long struggle. i think we spend too much time trying to build up a model afghan government and not enough

time worrying about the terrorists. that's where the focus has to be. lou: the taliban control approximately 40% or more of afghanistan. this long in war that you just referenced goes back to the ned weeks and months right after september 11. it is indeed the throng war. the strategies that we employed, the frustrations, whether the rules much engagement or strategies under taken have not been helpful to our cause. >> afghanistan is a clear example of how nation building doesn't work. we are trying to protect america from terrorists taking root and using it as a base of operation. we have other things to worry about there as well. if the terrorists can take root

again in afghanistan. other radicals there could steets what has always been a weak government that has nuclear weapons. lou: but we never destroyed the poppy fields in afghanistan which begs the question if we were serious about our commitment. vaughn * we were trying to do crop substitution program. unless you have a vigorous enforcement activity destroying the narcotics crops. you will never eliminate the problem because drugs go for a higher price than soy beans. lou: we are talk being an opiate addiction in this country. president trump focused on the

problem and is the upon candidate to do so. yet we are letting them survive. >> unless you have a narcotics eradication in that area they will continue. lou: the testimony today was that north korea is far more a threat than people realize. admiral harris said it's a great threat to national security. john: democrat adam schiff who has got and lot of attention on the intelligence committee tried to say, kim jong-un is not completely irrational and harris i thought gave it perfect

answer. he said i'm not saying is' cravesy, but he's not rational in our sense. he's not a guy who worked at goldman sachs you can deal with. he's a hereditary dictator on the verge of getting nuclear weapons. lou: i like the presumption you made about those who work at goldman. >> john: or stanley, whatever. lou: president trump slammed from the left for embracing wall street and their $400,000 speaking fees. rachel campos duffy and charlie hurt join us next. i'll be talking about the unprecedented obstructionism of the develops on "hannity" * tonight. i'll be there waiting patiently tk to him at some points, if i ever hear from him.

i'll tell you this. this one of the reasons why people like donald trump. he's rich. i think he's giving away his $400,000 salary or promised to. this is what a community organizer barack obama does after a yacht vacation in the south pacific with the bransons and tom hanks. they talk a big game but it's quite hypocritical, and good for elizabeth warren for calling him out on that. lou: charlie, can you go as far as rachel and say good for senator warren? >> can you manage if this our a republican or political opponent? she would have been more than troubled. but you joke about this. this is socialism. this is exactly what socialism is. it doesn't mean there is no wealth. there is a small timely kernel of wealth and of course it's

shared along the politically connected. that's how president trum -- thw president obama ran his presidency. it's true socialism. lou: we are going to find out about healthcare reform. rachel will bring us up to date with-where that stands. a lot at stake rachel. how is it going to unfold? will paul ryan deliver for a change? >> paul ryan is going to deliver and lou dobbs is going to eat crow. the government is not going to get shut down. and as a congressional staff i have a tidbit of information. i have been told my husband might not come home until saturday which means they might strike this healthcare deal on

saturday on the 100th day anniversary. if they have the votes, they will strike while the iron is hot. lou: i think we need to put your comment in context. rachel is treefg her husband sean duffy, one of the republican leaders in the house. >> that's right. lou: who apparently will be ensconced on capitol hill. charlie, what do you think? am i going to be eating crow? i'm relaxed about the prospects. >> i don't know if you will be eating crow. but you can't put it past the folks in congress at the very last minute to figure out some way to get something over the line. and it's probably not always the best way to govern, but it's the way it kind of works around here and has for a long time.

lou: if they will deliver the legislation on healthcare, avert a shutdown, that crow will be absolutely delicious. rachel, thanks for being with us. we appreciate it.hanging out tht union industry. lou dobbs is next. lou: good evening, washington tonight abuzz with reports, rumors and rank speculation about what the president intends to on a number of critical issues and challenges as his first 100 days have 48 hours remaining. the 100 day mark is arbitrary, in fact meaningless, you would not know that watching many of television news outlet for reading reports of news organizations, president trump is working diligently, tireless le tirelessly, on a broad away of big issues.
