10:03 am
it is not like they are going out of their way to keep carrier there. it is a victory for donald trump elect. he and his vice-presidential running maid are crafting deals to save american jobs. rick link who is a 15 year veteran in indianapolis and lifelong democrat voted for donald trump and first time he voted republican, because he liked what he was saying about carrier and keeping american jobs in the united states. here is link this morning on fox and friends. >> you know, he spoke to me and hit a core inside of me and talking to the working man and middle class. and you know, we're tired of being the working poor. i mean, you know, we bust our tails for what? you know, companies are getting tax break and ceo's are getting bonus and we are are getting the shaft. it is hard to swallow the tough
10:04 am
pill sometimes. >> reporter: not everyone is cheering the deal. senate issor debbie stab beenow was critical of the vice-president elect saying why didn't you do it months ago? and one of the biggest issues for carriers, conversations with donald trump and pence, that environment for business would be better with trump administration with lower tax and regulations and they might be able to stay in the state and united technologies wanted to maintain a good relationship with the trump administration and didn't want a dust up of carrier getting in the way of that. and meanwhile, the intrigue over who will be the secretary of state and secretary of defense. we were told it is down to four finalist.

10:08 am
establishment section of the republican party and a group he did not do well with in the campaign and in a large measure ran against and if it ends up he decides that mitt romney will be the right person. there will be some blow back. but most people will figure if he is okay with mitt romney, so are we. >> how trump is picking a cab be bet that is the wealthiest. steve mnuchin and wilbur ross and betsy devos. and from the stand point of somebody who covered washington for a long time, is there anything wrong with that? >> talking about how inflation affects things when dwight

10:10 am
fannie mae that lend most of the housing money, ought to be privatized and as a result their stocks are going through the roof? >> remember they were private until we got into the great recession and the government took them over. and the government never wanted to be in that business and wanted to get out. and now mnuchin. treasuriy secretary designate is talking abouty restoring it to the private market. a federal guarantee is an attractive market. but if it was private again, it would be be a good investment to a lot of people. thank you very much. >> thank you, john. >> president-elect and vice-president elect mike pence kick off the thank you, tour. cincinnati, ohio is at accept o'clock p.m. eastern time.

hostages. it is unclear whether anybody was hurt after a spokeswoman denied initial reports that people may have been shot. new information on the real cost of the student debt relief programs. the general account being office finds that the federal government is forgiving 800 billion upon in student loans. that is welcome news for those saddled with student debt. but for taxpayers. it is a costly bail out. joining us is a washington news reporter. and he covered the bail outs of chrysler and general motors. are their comparisons and similarities between what the government did for general motor and offering to do with those who hold student loans? >> i think the issue with gm and chrysler, there was a threat to the economy itself.
10:18 am
i think right now, people don't see this as a threat to the economy, it's like a drag on the economy. these are two separate things going on here. >> the 108 billion expected to be forbegin by the government only affects or applies to the current school year? >> no, it applies to everyone who got a loan up to this point. people who take out loans, that tab is increasing as more people go to school. >> we are looking at more than 108 billion. and that's getting paid for by american taxpayers. >> yes, and whether the student loan program gets a profit. there is increasing questions of whether they are making the proper assumptions. and one of the problems is, that
10:19 am
the government relies on grad student and charges higher rates and relies on them. >> but they are going in income based plan and have the debts forgiven in 10 or 20 years. >> we are living in a time when inflation is low. but college education is going through the roof, much higher than anything else. and one of the criticisms is, because government money is available, students take advantage and they enroll and it creates a demand for college that wouldn't be be there and increases inflation in the college costs, is that a factor? >> yes, we talk about health care cost and higher education costs have risen 5.2 percent in the past ten years and big
10:20 am
concerns that programs like this it contribute to that. the schools know students will come out and debts will be forgiven and they are further desensitized to the cost of going to school and they are starting to tell the students, don't worry about the debt that you are taking on, because if you come out and go to the programs, you will not have to pay all of it. there is a problem with inflation here. >> middle-class families who don't have kids and older kids, they are essentially paying the college costs of 108 billion worth of people who graduated from college and couldn't foot the bill to it repay their loans. and people who owe a student debt and owe all of this debt and charged high interest rates and congress has helped me out.
10:21 am
and i heard from so many people who said i paid off my student debt. why should i have to cover them? and who is helped by the program? many people who are going in to income based for payment and in white collar jobs and they make a lot. and so they are seeing the returns on their investment and should we forgive the debt? >> they are talking about privateizing the program which people think might be be the way to go. josh mitchell, thank you. >> sure, thanks. can a gun that is illegal on the streets help the government. and using ecstasy to treat ptsb. and vladimar putin delivering his version of the state of union and what he said about the cooperation between the two nations in a trump presidenty see. more on that coming up. ♪is it manwich night?

point is, that it is not a take home drug. it is used only three types a month apart and conjunction with psychotherapy. and the way it works, it decreases people's fear and defensive ofness and make sure they can face trauma and process it in therapy in the way they haven't been able to without the mma. and they have had had private treatment and that is successful. >> one individual who did everything. he lost his family, depressed and tried pain killer and opiates andy he was considering suicide. and he went through a therapy. and he said it was a 12 week time period and you get the drug three different times. and it gave me my life back. it was not a party drug. but it gave him his life back. what results are you seeing
10:27 am

10:28 am
some xufting treatments are effective for a lot of people and a large group of people who are not. and mma was used in therapy before it was a schedule one drug in 1985. there was reports but no controlled studies. it helped people in therapy. and i just thought it behooved us to look into a more systemic and rigorous way. >> what appears to be they key to making it work for someone who tried everything else? >> well, there is a lot to are learn body spectacularly why it works. but what we find and do know that it decreases activity in the fear centers of the brain and increases activity in the higher processing centers and it kind of makes sense. and people have a period of time and not overwhelmed by the fear
10:29 am
and not sedated and remember more clearly than they have before and then it is an opportunity to process the trauma in a way that becomes therapeutic. >> there is a therapist helping them do that. >> it is eight hour are sessions with two therapist for the entire session. >> it is carefully controlled and supported. >> if you are taking antianxiety immediate and you are taking them on a regular basis and you have to be on those all of the time and after the treatment. do they crave being on acteas and on any other follow-up medication. and what we having seen them craving it and wanting it again and having taken it in this

10:36 am
and joining us is julian epistein. it is great it have folks that understand the workings of government. it is hard to quote a poll these days. i am curious about that, ford. do republicans have to work with democrats to figure out a solution. >> no, but they need eight more senate vote and that may be in the states that trump won. i don't think the poll changes trump's calculation. you want to repole obama care and a transition period. before you embark a political suicide mission. make sure your alternative works. >> how does that sound to you? >> the dog that caught the car. polling has conivitientily shown upon a split with those that
10:37 am
support obama care and those who don't. half of those want something is stronger. and so you don't have a big constitency on obama care. 125 million americans benefit from the preexisting condition 135 million americans benefit from the prescreening protections. out of pocket expenses. and 105 americans benefit from the lifetime cap provisions. you have 20 million americans that didn't have health care before. >> julian, there ise no question that there are popular part was obama care and covering those preexisting conditions and it is something that the gop will have to work in. >> but the problem, ford, if you ask a health care economist, you can't keep preexisting conditions in there and get rid
10:38 am
of the mand out. >> they also said if trump won the market will would tank. >> it is a cutie response. but getting rid of preexisting conditions. you skew it to every one that is sick. they will not be getting health insurance and who will pay for the emergency room costs. >>y we ary seeing that happening because there is not enough people joining in on the exchanges and there is concern about the health of obama care period. and i like cute responses all of the time just for the record, joule yen. is there common ground to be found. we know about the preexisting condition and under the age of 26 staying on their parent's --
10:39 am
i don't know if we lost ford, i don't know if julian did that on purpose. >> and one of the things we talked about is making sure you buy insurance across state lines and i know it is defendant. would that be a solution? >> >> i don't think democrats will and try to obstruct reform in the way that republicans obstructed obama. the democrats should try to work with the president. the point of interstate competition is a good but limited thing and the point i was making before, democrats try to fix obama care and it is hard to create the divisions. how you try to you know, safe half. baby here. it is almost impossible for example, to keep preexisting conditions in there unless you have people in the health care
10:40 am
pool. >> if you reduce the pool, premiums are going to go up so high people will not be able to afford it. >> the premiums and dedubltibles are going up. that costs ever going up. not as fast as that you would without obama care. how dew fix it, ford? >> tom price will be the architect that will be quarterbacking this and there is a lot of way to do it tax credit and selling insurance across state lines. but the key is break up the unholy a liiance with the government and hospital and doctors and insurance company and one thing that trump will have to rake over the fire is insurance companies. you have less choice and you have a lot of insurers pulling out and consumers don't have
10:41 am
a choice. keep it assessable and affordable and give access to the american people. i have to say republicans have to watch out. the dems will try toous it to get out of the political wilderness and the republicans have to make sure it workings. >> we don't lose people permanently. ford and julian, great to have you both. >> thank you. >> russian president vladimar putin reaching out to president-elect donald trump in the state of the nation address. putin calls for cooperation in fighting terrorism. and said he's ready to work with the trump administration. he didn't offer many details on how. and amy kellogg from mi lan, italy with that. >> reporter: he didn't offer

everybody to eliminate the special tax provisions for some. that is what we are proposing significant tradeoffses to move to this. >> republicans here are waiting for more guidance on how to proceed. they are talking now. and the tax outlined the tax that trumpy released and suggested that top earners would get a lower tax bill p in his administration and the income thresholds would be similar to the house republican plan that has the same tax rates as mr. trump. these are the thresholds of what you pay if that passes congress. a couple making 75000 would pay 12 percent in taxes and 230000 would be be taxed at 25 percent.
10:49 am
and anything above 231 would be taxed at 33 percent. and starting at 400000 per couple. and the house republican plan would cut it $2.4. and boost enough to pay for itself. port barnes. thank you. nrussian cargo rocket carrying supplies blew up late in the launch. we have an update and where the debris is now. and the second man to walk on the moon evacuated promptly. and what prompted that sudden move, next.

we have questions, tom, for this. when we first heard this news, the offense questibvious questi not in space, is it going crashing down on earth and it sort of did. is that a risk that happens often? >> it is if you're on the spaceship, but for those of us on the ground, it just burns up. that's the way they junk them when they're finished, they let them drop into the as not fear and burn up. small pieces might make it to the ground, but not dangerous. what do you make of the fact that this rocket lost contact with those trying to fly it? >> there is no question this is a troublesome failure for the supply line to the space station. this is the second russian failure in a couple years and
10:55 am
two american cargo ships failed in the last 25 months as well. it indicates a continuing problem with the third stage of this rocket that once failed back in 2015. also causing the loss of a cargo ship, so they have to get to the bottom of their assembly line. >> is there any concern about whether or not they ugh supplies. >> most of the supplies are vital, and they said the ast astronauts are not in danger. and nasa will get up any high value components launched on this one. so no supply issues, but you need every one of these ships toe make it up there to keep the supplies backed up and to
10:56 am
