stuart: breaking news, meetings all over, out reach, here it is senator schumer and nancy pelosi will be meeting at white house with president trump for dinner tonight, fox business learned that president invited both of them, our sources are expecting schumer and pelosi to push on dreamer protects and stabilizing healthcare market. i want to get back to irma. to marco island that took brunt of the hurricane. jenkins is there. you can show us what damage marco island suffered. reporter: stuart i want to break a little bit of news, in florida

keys, southern key, key cudjoe, and key west area, bad newsman recounty sheriff confirming 3 fatalities. he said it looks below mile marker 15, like a nuclear bomb within off. but when irma came here, it anything everything down, it can see roofs collapses and palm trees blown about like they were leaves. the folks here on marco island got who i can say, lucky, while it was ravaged, a lot of structural damage, and flooding caused by a couple of feet of a storm surge, they had no fatalities. in the key, three fatalities, here on marco island, no loss of life. we talked with a resident here,

he rode out andrew here and wilma, but he will never ride out another one, a tree collapsed on his home, he and his family hid under mattresses to stay alive. this is a scene of devastation. but at least no loss of life like in the keys, this situation is very dire today. stuart: yes, thank you so much. >> president trump is going to survey the damage from irma himself, he tweeted about it this morning. you can read it on the screen, joining us ma -- martha macallum. draw your attention to headline in washington post that shocked me. it said, trump administration earns cautious praise for early response to hurricanes, this is the washington post. they must -- trump must be doing a great job. >> cautious praise is a cautious

headline from washington post. it is pretty accurate. the management of this crisis can be handled as well as protected. you know i think that this played to president trump's strength, he is a manager, a ceo, a good delegate oror, peope who put under him, sharp. the people who have been put in charge of this have been doing a good job. stuart: i think it was a turning point, his handling of two hurricanes of part of it, then he went went bipartisan brought in the democrats, and i think his political standing went up more do you see it like that. >> yes, and no, yes on front he

is having a good stretch in terms of response he is getting to how he managed these tough situations. and that a good measure for a president how hey respon they ro these things. you know you wait for the tweet that is you know crazy. that sort of throws news cycle off, every time he gets on a streak he tends to have a moment that will pull it back. now that general kelly is commandeering a lot of strength and power at white house we'll see. on the bipartisan, i think this is most fascinating element of what we're watching unfold. i wonder if i think that making an effort to build a new coalition at the center. then you have bernie sanders, pushing for single payer healthcare over here. stuart: on the left. >> mark meadows and and these guys saying we'll never make a deal on this. and president saying, you know,

inviting nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, he called head clown not that long ago. stuart: crying chuck. >> they are two new york guys that can put up with that name-calling. stuart: president is calling for himself for a political realignment. he can't get it done with just the republicans, and not far left. >> he is not a party guy, he is not leader of the republican party that is a surprise. usually the president is standard bearer for his party. but he. i i don't think he sees himself this way, i think that next few months will be fascinating, almost like your girlfriend is paul ryan and mitch mcconnell, and things are going well, then you say, i think i will have nancy pelosi and chuck schumer over for dinner tonight.

stuart: i like that. thank goodness we're working in news business in time like this, this is fascinating. >> stay tuned. stuart: i will, martha maccullum thank you. >> check this out. look at that, that is a rolls-royce, the car, people, they are working on self-piloting navy ship, photos of a concept, they plan to sell ship to military around the world, powered by artificial intelligence, sudde sep -- senst will operate on its own without human intervention for more than 100 days. >> let's hope it doesn't get hacked. stuart: rolls-royce branching out, coming up, former host of dirty jobs, mike rowe, he said we need to train the labor force that will be needed for those

away. but boy, this is taking you to next wednesday, we have time. hard to make a call this far out. stuart: not easy being a weather forecaster. >> no. and this one is challenging. stuart: a bit like forecasting the stock market. >> ain challenge too. stuart: two big news development from washington senator schumer and congresswoman nancy pelosi will have dinner with the president. tonight, bipartisan approach continues, that is one story. plus details of tax reform plan coming in less than two weeks. the growth agenda forming before our eyes.

stuart: how flat is flat? we are down three. got it. the s&p 500, dead flat down .03%. similar story, how far is it

down. i think flat is an accessible word. how about apple. anything but flat. they released the expo yesterday coming down nearly two backs, 1% lower at 158 on apple. disney, the release of "star wars" episode nine delayed, but i'm told this is really important. jj abrahams has been signed on to direct the film. abrams. i'm sorry. big news in some circles, but not this one. check target. advance to hire 100,000 workers for the holiday pay that's a big number. the stock is up to .5%. back to the news you heard first hereon "varney & company." senator schumer and farmers weaker nancy pelosi right dinner with president trump tonight. chad bergen, fox news senior capitol hill producer. this is an interesting new to

reach out, is the neck? >> yes, the president seems to be extending the hand across the aisle. he met with bipartisan senators last night on tax reform. tax reform. he is the problem solvers caucus and a group of moderate republicans and democrats are meeting this afternoon in policy and schumer coming for dinner tonight. i was told a couple moments ago this is an effort to talk about deadlines and the agenda. they have the end of september. also a one-point go back and tackle government spending in december. daca is something they want to get done. he wanted to get that done and i remember the democrat told the cars that republicans are going to go for it. democrats wouldn't. here is something very important. people wonder how far can democrats go to meet with president trump. you talk about "star wars." there is a very pathetic whine when the rebel commander was

talking to them and set it a try. some people sent on capitol hill are wondering whether or not they are going down the primrose path here with president trump. >> this story really is what kind of tax cut deal will begin at? what kind of infrastructure deal will be dead if the president has to bring the democrats on board with the deal? surely they will water down both, with many? >> this is concerned from a lot of conservatives. the congressman from virginia colluded to as much yesterday. mark meadows come in the chair of the freedom caucus, conservative faction of republicans here says wait a minute. we are trying to do tax reform. this could blow a hole in the deficit and it's already big. it will be bigger after they do these tens of billions of dollars in hurricane relief, which everyone says they have to do. that makes tax reform because you don't have that revenue coming in. if you're going to make it

revenue neutral, that's the problem. while the democrats go for? certain things they will want to get. you will have republicans jump off the bus on some of these things. but here's the problem. even if you get joe manchin and heidi heitkamp msn and, you know, you still need to turn up the filibuster unless you can do this under a process called budget reconciliation, which neuters filibusters and you can't do that until you pass a budget. kevin brady, chairman of the ways and means committee made that very point to his meeting with house republicans today. you have to pass a budget because you can't sidestep the lusters in the senate for tax reform unless he do a budget. they hope to do that by mid-october. >> you are so technical, chad. you are missing the big picture. this is a new presidency, bipartisan outreach moving to the center. a new political alignment. that is the news. >> that was the argument some people made yesterday that maybe

they jilted too far to the right. but this is intended from the so-called regime, reince priebus, former white house chief of staff. so naturally coming is going to work with republicans but he wasn't getting very far on health care reform. that's another point that kevin brady, the ways and means chairman said look, we have to have the house and senate in 10 among tax reform because the house going ahead, which is what they did. tree into an exploding with detail. and so when do we blame drowning. i think all of this is great stuff. chad right they are announcing the barriers we want to get done here. you are all right. you know your stuff. thank you indeed. thank you. i will bring in ed fulmer, president of the heritage foundation. i want to get back to this

watering down idea. if the president brings in the democrats and he's bringing in democrats all over the place here, and then you water down the impact of tax cuts, don't you? >> stuart, i think what is going to have been if they might not get 15% for the corporate rate, but in the low 20s, america will still be very much an attractive place for international investment. if we can repatriate billions of dollars to capital, that's a bipartisan thing. a lot of bipartisanship out there. stuart: with all due respect, i don't think 22% corporate tax rate is low enough to bring back a couple trillion dollars. 15% you talk about that, did you get a big repatriation. i don't think 22% works. >> well, 20, 22%, low 20s. stuart, we are just competing with ireland in the united states of america is a lot

better place to really add long-term investment i believe around the world than with ireland. so we will be competitive and i think the president knows about where he wants to be and from talking to leader mccarthy and speaker ryan, they are pretty well on board with where the president wants to go. the process, you are right, it's very complex as you were saying with their white house correspondent, but by gosh, the house actually is in the process right now is finishing up all 12 appropriations bills. this'll be the first time in 12 years they've gotten all the appropriations bills actually threw in regular order. so there are some positive things happening. i'm always an optimist. >> would you agree with my premise that we are now seeing movement? a tax plan two weeks from now. the dinner tonight with pillows and schumer at the white house?

more meanings of moderates today, republicans and democrats. i see movement here, don't you? >> i am very honored to have dinner at the president not too long from now. we are going to talk about the same issues. i am glad that he's trying to build out and reach across the aisle and see who can come along. i don't think necessarily it will be chuck schumer or nancy pelosi, but there are enough other members on the other side of the aisle that will come along. stuart: thanks for joining us, sir. come again soon. appreciate it. >> thank you, stuart appeared stuart: totally different subject here the drugmaker allergan transferring its patent on the nitro, restate this. transferring to a native american tribe in new york. the company is doing this to protect the drug from a patent dispute. what is the legality of that? i'm not sure. judgment helicon awaits here.

>> i'm not sure, either. one way of looking at it if they were challenges on this patching and by re-transferring the ownership to a sovereign entity, the native american tribe are sovereign countries. we tend to lose track of that, which it treaties that the united states of america and you cannot sue a sovereign country. one way to look at this as it's one way to get out of the courts and avoid lawsuits, even legitimate lawsuits and challenges. another way to look at it is there is a procedure for challenging, but it's a lot faster, less expensive and more efficient than bringing it to the courts. so which is right? the supreme court will hear a case. not this one, but one very similar in which patents were transferred to a native american tribe to decide whether or not to do it. stuart: i'm sorry to interrupt you, but doesn't this bring up the whole subject to armies of

lawyers to go through each and every patent looking for an armor that may sue somebody. >> that is a very serious problem with overaggressive, over greedy. sorry for repeating myself. i don't think that's the case here. if the native american tribe is a patent, there is a procedure, but there is no jury trial. the question before the supreme court is canvas transfer constitutionally take away the right to a jury trial because the constitution guarantees a jury trial for the case is. stuart: very well put. anytime i see a restate this commercial on tv, i shall now think of our interview. judge, thank you indeed. now the latest on the wildfires in the west had 60 large fires still burning right across nine western states. 2017 on the worst years ever for

and we knew we needed bigger artillery. stuart: ordinary people doing extraordinary things. mike rowe is with us, former dirty jobs post. i felt real good about those broadcasts. i thought it was america at its best. as a newly minted american citizen, i loved it. how about you? >> while i'm just flattered. thank you. if i'm going to have a legacy, i would just assume it be an honest portrayal of hard-working men and women come a day in and day out. not just in the wake of the disaster, but for their daily bread, doing the jobs that makes it possible for the rest of us. every problem you and i have talked about in the past regarding the skills gap in infrastructure and manufacturing, in my humble view it all begins with the conspicuous lack of appreciation and understanding of that particular part of our work force. we ignore that at our peril.

stuart: you have been ignored. those who show up in texas and florida have been in for a generation. i know i'm being kind of a pejorative here. i'm kind of steamed about it, too. >> i appreciate your passion for it. personally, i don't disagree, but i do think the unintended consequence of elevating and celebrating and pushing one form of education at the expense of all the others, those chickens have come home to roost. a college education is a wonderful thing. i wouldn't trade the one that i have. but to promote the education like it the best path for the most people and to use all the other forms as cautionary tales, that sets the table in a way that ultimately will leave us a lopsided workforce and my guess is when the waters recede and the real work begins, five, six months from now, the shortage we

talked about in the past will become acute in ways we can imagine. stuart: tell me about that again because there is an enormous rebuilding job and then we've got a huge infrastructure plan. tell me about the skills gap. don't we have the skilled people we will need? >> we don't. i'm not a match in addition, but i'm tempted to say it really is just math. they were 267,000 openings in the construction trades prior to harvey. the tradesmen will have to rebuild, and women will have to rebuild houston and florida. they are not there. they will have to come from other parts of the country. when they essentially migrate to that part of the country, and they will create more alarming shortages and deficits from wherever it is they left. the skills gap is real. six-point 2 million jobs right now that are roping.

over 70% of them don't require a four year degree. they require training. they require enthusiasm. believe it or not, i've often said the skills gap starts with a will of god. we are not looking at this jobs in an aspirational way. we are not encouraging our kids to see them for the path to prosperity they can be. consequently, you will see more nun with chainsaws out there doing whatever they can do to put this back together again. stuart: you are dead right on this. would you stay there for a second russian ark i want to hear if you are going to top your blockbuster show, dirty jobs. you're going to tell us about it in a moment. commercial break first. ♪
