this evening. quick programming note. set your dvr you never miss an episode and we'll see you tomorrow night. we're heading to the middle east. we're heading to israel with a special report you don't want to miss. we hope you'll join us. >> hi, i'm dana parino. thanks for watching us before we get to this stories of the day we want to address a situation many of you know of. bill o'reilly who hosted this program for 20 years is leaving the fox news channels. we know you the viewers will have feelings about this and will talk about it later in the program. first the trump administration firing a shot over iran. rex tillerson making clear the administration's tolerance of iran's belligerence and provocation is growing thin. >> iran is the world's leading

state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for intensifying multiple conflict and undermining u.s. interests in syria, yemen, iraq and lebanon and continuing to support attacks against israel. an unchecked iran has the potential to travel the same path as north korea and take the world along with it. the trump administration has no intention of passing the buck to a future administration on iran. the evidence is clear iran's provocative actions threaten the united states, the region and the world. the trump administration is currently conducting a comprehensive review of our iran policy. once we have finalized our conclusions we'll meet the challenges iran poses with clarity and conviction. >> joining us now with reaction from washington a politics editor and a political director of abc news. rick, what did you make of the timing of this?

last night there was a report from the state department saying iran has largely met its end of the bargain so far and then you have this very hawkish statement from rex tillerson in the late afternoon. >> tough words, harsh words but a different set of action than you'd expect from the trump administration. the fact they're going ahead with the nuclear deal and putting iran on warning is a big break from what was forecast from candidate trump. the expectation was he'd go back to the negotiating table. you see the secretary of state's fingerprints the idea of continuing the deal and serving the notice they intend to bring this to a head. they won't let the iran issue fester like it has for so long. >> josh, this was a different tone than the previous president, president obama. you noted that in something you wrote earlier today. i wonder if you can talk about it?

>> the foreign policy speaks loudly and carrying a big stick. they're warning our international enemies across the globe whether it's the missile strike against syria or the tough talk against north korea or ripping up the iran deal. the administration is talking a big game but as rick was noting what are they going to do in terms of their policy and as it still unclear. we haven't heard a lot from the president on how he's going to change the administration's policy. >> he said the trump administration has no intention of pass the buck on the future administration on iran. >> rex tillerson saying iran could be on the same path as north korea. >> which is also true. >> of course. you can look at the sponsor of terrorism. i think what's important here and josh makes this point you

have to find a way to get to that end game because these things are out there for a long time. these are regime are relatively isolate and have been impervious to a lot of u.s. pressure and now you're seeing a president and administration adjusting to the reality. need them for certain things. don't want iran to become a nuclear power or korea to be impervious to china and we're seeing adjustments republicans who weren't pro-trump they like the evolution. >> it sounds familiar to them i would imagine, right, josh? it's more in line with what they're used to when it comes to a republican president. >> it sounds like george w. bush's foreign policy the comment about iran reminds me of the bush axis of evil comments with iran, syria and iraq and

it's clear this administration wants to have a more muscular foreign policy. they want to contrast themselves with the obama foreign which every foreign hand in the trump administration wanted to use diplomacy and this trump administration is to talk a big game and threaten a military action against enemies. >> another thing secretary tillerson said today he made it clear it wasn't just about the nuclear weapons program we think they're trying to get but they are doing a lot more when it comes to supporting terrorists, he says they're alarming and ongoing provocations that export terror and violence. it comes right after president trump authorized the montreal to send in tomahawk missiles into syria and we know iran was helping them. >> they're not subtle messages. the secretary of state, we're seeing him come into view he's

not been public in his comments or assertive but it seems like policy he has a lot of influence over and i think you're seeing a change. even the statements today truck me as so different than you would have seen at the beginning. >> you don't usually hear this at the state department you have lots of adjectives you put in. josh, i want to ask about the timing. president trump has taken decisive action on foreign policy which is coincided while the members of congress have been on recess. when they get back together next week there's changes on the foreign policy front and i'm wondering if that helps the republicans or emboldens them in their districts. >> the policy unites the party

with the exception of rand paul but gets more in line and supportive of the president and donald trump's approval with republicans has stabilized and gone higher in the last week. he's now about above the 80% point with republicans. the base is starting to get behind him and we saw from the georgia election last night the republicans are showing up to vote and getting behind president trump. trump's numbers are still worry some but foreign policy is a big part of that equation. >> rick, can that take that momentum and use it as a foreign policy win with the issues on their plate? >> they like trump as commander-in-chief but doesn't translate to the issue in an easy way and we're seeing out of the town halls and the blow back against president trump and his administration policies will be

first and foremost in the minds of members when they return. i haven't seen a lot of evidence in progress and they have tax reform and the president scenes optimistic. we haven't seen a lot of detail to say they're suddenly on the move. it helps unify the party and gives them something to cheer for. >> what about the democrats? they've been in a just say no mode. have they heard something that makes them want to come to the table? >> they're base is super charged. they're angry at trump and do anything possible to show the dissatisfaction and they don't know what they stand for yet and we're seeing division in the moderate portion of the party. trump is engaging democrats across the country and it's a good sign for the democratic party but don't have a message

to sway some voters. >> for those in the wilderness how do they get behind it? >> it's not by signing initiatives. >> don't they need to take something back to their district to say i did something in washington? >> i don't think the democrats are feeling that traffic. it's don't help him out or give him wins. >> that means nothing gets done. >> there we are. >> rick, josh, thank you both. >> thank you. >> up next elizabeth warren taking not such veiled shots at hillary clinton. are democrats now cutting ties with the clinton legacy? we'll debate when "the factor" comes back.

>> in the impact segment is the democrat party turning its last on the clintons? elizabeth warren seemed to take a shot at hillary clinton

on "jimmy kimmel" last night. >> we cannot shoot at everything that moves. remember in the movie "up" when he yells squirrel, we can't all go over there. we have to focus not on what he says or tweets, we have to keep an on what he does. we have a gop pollster and democratic strategist don callaway. now that the democrats are getting the 2016 election behind them and somebody who has a book out is looking at 2020, are they trying to figure out a way to let the clinton legacy fade into the background? i'll let you go first. >> i can't believe i'm going to utter the sentence but i think there's something right in what elizabeth warren said there

about democrats chasing after every thing donald trump that gets them upset and agitated and if they want to choose which battles they want to fight and let go. i think she's right. when it comes to the clinton legacy they've been the leaders of the democratic party from bill clinton's presidency and through the campaign you had the obama moment where you had a new culture and group of people at the helm of the democratic party but the clinton machine was ready to go and now that that's failed there were new roots in the party and someone is waiting to step up to say i'm the captain now. elizabeth warren is one of those people and people lining up to fill the vacuum left. >> i don't think the clintons will ever be frowned upon by the democratic party because obviously they have so many roots over the decades but are they trying to figure out a way

to move left or forward? what's the next move. >> clearly the head is tom perez and his deputy jamie harrison. we expect exciting things from them. clinton's legacy is cemented as an american and global leader and her history is cemented and i think when we consider the bubble of d.c. it's important to consider the leadership of our democratic party not only tom perez and in d.c. and in dynamic levels like individuals in south bend, indiana and that's a substantial part of the democratic message which can be an active part of the trump resistance taking place across the country we can't forget the local levels and elevating those local leaders not just in d.c.

>> the trump resistance as they stick with it does it lessen their chance of winning back states they left like wisconsin, virginia and michigan which were different and went for donald trump. not with a lot but decisively. >> it's a brand new way the way donald trump pursued a brand new map for republicans and surprised everyone going after states people thought would struggle he pulled it off. for democrats to win they'll have to decide do they want to fight to pull those states back in the blue category. pick up in wisconsin or michigan or trying to pick up the white working class that rejected hillary clinton. do we abandon that and try to piece together a majority in places like florida and colorado, north carolina. states where there's demographic change that may favor democrats long term. they have to make a choice which

path to pursue and that will be decided in large part by who they choose to be the face and leader of the party when it comes to their primary four years from now. >> do they have to choose or can they do both? >> i think we can do both and already made a choice. i know it's a mush-mouth answer but the reality is there's one one side party message of opportunity for all and inclusion for all and we're seeing that secretary perez and in a 57-state strategy with the territories and we'll speak to same to urban areas as the farmers in iowa. the opportunity of inclusion and equal access to the ballot box and the democrats that plagued the democratic party is done and we'll see a unified message in the party over the next ten years and in the future. >> in the special election both sides are claiming they won or

that there were victories. kristen why do they think it was a big win for them? >> there's a chance to not just hold the seat but bring another republican woman to washington. i know personally that's why i'm excited karen handle is going to be moving to the run-off as the republican candidate. look, i do think republicans need to be a little nervous. this is exactly the type of district where if democrats want to take back the house it's going to be districts like this where they do it. on the other hand, i think the expectations have been raised so much by all sorts of money and interest coming in from hollywood and the democratic and progressive base around the country that tried to nationalize this one little special election for democrats who doesn't win it outright last night has to be a disappointment for them and now we move to the next phase in june where i think republicans are slightly favored to hang onto the seat.

>> do you think democrats raised the expectations too high for john ossoff last night in >> it was a huge win for the democratic party. it's a seat just five months ago now secretary tom price won by 61.6%. we've seen a 10-point swing in favor of the democratic party and nothing my republican friends can dismiss. it's a 10-point swing based on nothing but the first 100 days of the trump administration which charitiably has been rocky at best and disastrous at worse. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having us. >> immigration officials deport the first dreamer sending the left to a frenzy but is there more to his deportation than meets the eye? we'll analyze that situation right after this.

>> dana: and a personal story segment tonight the first dreamer deported under president trump. the left experience after deportation of juan manuel montes, the 23-year-old, >> an illegal immigrant from mexico was removed. the white house is pushing back against a volley of criticism. >> the goal and the focus had been on people who pose a threat to national security or in some other way in violation. i would respectfully suggest in this case the facts are not out yet so i'd rather not jump to judgment on what happened. >> joining me is alen gomez from usa today and broke the story on juan manuel montez.

it seems there's some gray areas in his case. >> gray areas it's safe to say that. we heard about his case. we wrote about the case and then we started getting reaction from the department of homeland security. what they initially said after we published the story is juan manuel lost his status so they could deport him and today they changed their story saying he had status but violated it by leaving me country. the attorneys said he was deported. that's the what we are facing and trying to get clarity. >> they're pushing back on the headlines and usa said it was a violation and all of the fault

of dhs. his lawyers are saying he didn't leave the country without being forced to. how can we clear this up so we can get more clarity? is the judge in the case going to get information right away so we can figure this out and understand what the policy is going forward by the trump administration? >> exactly. a lot of this is going t on this federal lawsuit. basically the attorneys for juan montes has been asking to release information and explain how he was deported and how they encountered him and on what grounds they decided to deport him on. they have not respond to those requests so yesterday his attorneys filed a lawsuit in the southern district in california asking for the release of the records. we've been getting a piece meal account of what happened that night but they're trying to get the full accounting so we get

the bigger picture and can understand what happened. >> do you think that dreamers out there might not understand what the rules are? they need to make sure they have permission in order to leave and come back. is there an education problem that needs to take place here? >> no, i can tell you ever document recipient knows that very well. to leave the country you need advance parole. it's basically permission from the government to come back into it. i think that point is very clear to all of them. they're all very protective of their status and want to maintain it. the vast majority i think know very well that's the case. what's happened here with mr. montes he said he was picked up by cbp and deported and a couple days later he tries to re-enter the country. at that point that's when dhs said he had violated the conditions of his doca and

violated so they were able to deport had him but again his attorneys say the only reason he left the country and the only reason he left was he was deported. so they say how can say he violated his doca when you deported him and said now he's in violation. >> the depend of homeland security is pushing back and we'll continue to follow. thank you for coming on tonight and excellent reporting. >> thank you. >> all right. and joining us now to analyze from chicago fox news contributor steve cortez and the publisher of catalina magazine. let me start with you, cathy. seems to me it's not clear cut. >> it's in the clear cut but he's not an illegal immigrant. he's here legally until 2018 and was hage a cab after going to a restaurant and at moment didn't have his papers it's not a show-me state and three hours later he was thrown out of the

country. so he is a legal citizen and the department of homeland security did acknowledge he was supposed to be here until 2018. leg legally he could be here until 2018 so they switched their party and was a legal resident deport to mexico within three hours. >> dhs is saying he left and did so without permission and they were well within their rights in order to do this. what do you make of it? >> i would take umbrage with him as a citizen. he's not a citizen. i have great -- ok, resident. i have great empathy because they were brought here by their parent. i have no such sympathy for adults who willfully break our immigration laws and i say this as a trump partisan and hispanic. legal immigrants are a treasure to the united states. illegal immigrants are a surge on our land and he's delivering

on his promise and deportations are up and illegal crossings are down. in the case of mr. montes, the facts are disputed. he's going to have his day in court. let's just say he's right and i happen to believe homeland security but let's say he's right. that would be one person out of 800,000daca people we mistakenly deported. that's a good record. >> it's clear president trump is not targeting him but three have been ke -- detained. this is scary not just for hispanics but everybody should be afraid if we don't have papers on us we'll be thrown to mexico. >> maybe there has to be some tightening up of the process

because if you're going to ramp up and enforce the law there could be situations where you have case where's it's murky or unclear. when you say he will have his day in court that's true and i hope it's quick. as cathy was saying he should have been allowed to -- i guess he's saying he should have never been deported. he didn't leave willingly. that the the crux of the issue. >> right. let me also say this in defense of president trump who comes under constant criticism that he's somehow anti-hispanic and that's not true, he preserved daca and got no credit for that. he showed great heart in preserving daca. they were brought here as children and he's working on the campaign promise he ran on but he's not in the business of looking for children brought here to kick them out without reason.

>> if that is true he did not keep his campaign promise. >> he's not the one making the arrests. >> people feel compelled they can do this under a trump administration? that's scary. >> people jump to conclusions before people have the facts. can i switch topics. there's a report in the washington post talking about a meeting in miami where they're trying to figure out should we be a sanctuary city or not and just the threat of taking away federal funds is spurring action. >> studies show sanctuary cities are safer than other cities because people feel they can report crimes. they feel they're part of their communities. so immigrants assimilate faster if they feel they're part of the community. if they don't report crime and people start shutting their doors and not talking to police they're not as safe so sanctuary cities are historically safer than other cities.

>> but it is against the law. >> i hate even the term of sanctuary cities. they should be called renegade cities. it's not sanctuary for the victims of crime or for cops dealing with immigrants who shouldn't be here in the first place and dangerous to communities. and the communities they're most dangerous to are latino communities example. a young beautiful hispanic mother was mowed down in cold blood by a man that had been deported five times. one of the reasons i think he was able to remain at-large in los angeles is because it's a sanctuary city. >> i know that is one example >>. >> there are so many men who commit crimes are we going to say let's get rid of all the men in the united states? >> but they're here illegally --

>> that's one horrible example. >> you don't have the right to be here in the first place. >> what about those paying taxes and most are law-abiding citizens -- >> residents. >> sorry, residents. >> if i have a party at my house is uninvited showed up and on top of that start breaking things guess what, get out. >> cathy, steve, thank you so much. interesting issue. new polling on president trump's handling of syria and north korea. how can it effect the administration's handling of the crisis? stay tuned.

>> in "the factor" follow up a new survey by harvard university

and harris polling asked registered voters of president trump's handling of the syrian strike. 60% approved and 40% disapproved and asked if they'd support airstrikes on a korea. so voters often send mixed messages when it comes to use of force. in syria it already happened and the sarin gas was used so that seemed warranted. in north korea nothing's happened yet but if something were to happen the polls would change. >> presidents have to lead by nature americans don't want to use force and what he did in syria got 60% overall approval. 66% in the polls of 2000 registered voters said he was

justified in what he did but they're approaching north korea slightly differently. there's a bit of trepidation. they're not optimistic diplomacy will succeed and if they use a military strike i think they're nervous about him. >> nervous about the consequences too. what about the overall rating for president trump? >> we have it at 48%. a slight tick down. it was probably down after health care and came back up after syria. what's happened is a widening gender gap. only 41% of women approve of the job he's doing, 57% of men. there's a big split and i think men were impressed more by the strike that happened on syria and his use of military. in general we're looking at an increasing gender gap and that's

a concern. 41% approval among women is a problem when women are the majority of voters in his country. >> when you put on your strategy hat you were advising the president or his team how to improve the numbers for women do you have advice? >> i think women are looking to see the president not just dealing with bread and butter issues of concern to them, education, health care, but they're also looking to see him reach out to democrats and the other side. 80%, 90% of voters want to see him reach out to the democrats on tax reform. they've said that consistently. if americans are saying one thing, they want their parties and their president to put america first in the sense they're going to put their party second. >> that's interesting -- >> whoever does that will get significant political support. >> in the first block we had rick klein from abc news and

feels the democrats don't feeling any pressure to meet president trump halfway so if they reached out would there be any willing to work with him. >> just taking the position consistently and earnestly -- i worked with president clinton and gingrich and he attacked each other all day but they worked together. it's unmistakable in the polls while they're mayor take a partisan split from the election they want someone to breakthrough the partisanship. >> one thing you said people like, 71% of people want tax reform. can they get together on that one? >> there's where there's an opportunity. they went through the polls and the outline of trump's plan, fewer rates, cap rate of 33%, getting rid of the capping deductions. 71% favor that plan. can he make it a political reali

reali reality. he failed on health care despite those wanting modifications on obamacare. he'll have to reach out to democrats if the doesn't he'll have a repeat of health care. >> so we know there wasn't a lot of support for the health care bill, repeal and replace bill as designed a month ago but still a strong majority want the president to address obamacare. do they want it repeeled repealed and replaced, where are they on that? >> they want him to do something on health care. they want lower premiums and more choice and concerned about the cost increases. they like the greater coverage and medicaid expansion. the program was the worst sold program it threw people off and

didn't bring premiums down in any reasonable time. i think that was poorly sold. even if he gets that done now i don't know what good it does him compared to driving through tax reform and infrastructure. >> what about another topic the president talks about a lot. we just did a segment on immigration and his tougher stance on it well when it comes to illegal immigration and criminals in particular. also he still says he's going to build that wall. what do people say? >> remember, american public opinion is textured like they favored syria but opposed going too far in north korea. they think sanctuary cities doesn't make sense. 80% said that in the poll. but 57% also think there should be a path to citizenship for people that are here and paying taxes and doing the right thing. opinion you can find an opinion

on each side. they want comprehensive immigration reform at the end of the day. >> what about the wall? >> people do not like the. 62% oppose the wall. they think even democrats would be right to hold up the budget if he doesn't take out the wall. it's a poison pill. it's probably his least liked proposal when he's got a great potential for tax reform both on the corporate and personal side. >> tax reform it is. we'll take tax reform behind door number one. mark, thank you so much. next on the run down a study exposes how much the main street media despises president trump. mike huckabee will be here to opine. don't go away.

>> dana: thanks for staying with us, i'm dana perino. in the unsolved >> an amazing study shows how deep the main street media d

despises president trump. this ends with a cemetery and american flag engulfed by flames it was met unsurprisingly with applause. joining us is mike huckabee. your thoughts on that video, sir. >> one of the things i think we have to learn from history, dana, is if you have somebody as a leader of a country and keeps telling you he's going to do something that's outrageous you better start believing him because that's the danger when you think that's so crazy nobody would ever do that. we learned that from people like hitler and we need to learn it from kim jong-cuckoo who and delusional history. somebody has to take him history. i think the trump administration is taking seriously the threat

he poses to south korea to japan and frankly to the united states and the rest of the world. >> do you think governor that his military is more rational than he is? i know there's the wild applause and i can't tell how much of that is an act or force or if they're so brainwashed they believe it. >> well, i think they're brainwashed. keep in mind and i've been to the border and looked into the eyes of those soldier and they look back at you with sheer hatred because they don't have the internet they don't have a free press. they have only what they've told. they have been brainwashed and by the way if they want toese -- to eat anything other than grass clippings they better be obedient to their leader. they probably had a big long drink of the kool-aid and believe everything he's saying.

>> what do you think of the changes in china's behavior after the meeting they had in mar-a-lago. there was more push behind the scenes and the troops along the border china put with north korea. what do you make of the negotiating skills of president trump. it seems to me he was able to push china to a place previous presidents in the past decades hadn't been able to do yet. >> well, it's clear he built a relationship with the chinese president and i think the other thing is just before dessert when the president said by the way we just put 59 tomahawks in syria the chinese realize they're dealing with a serious person. they have to just realize each means what they say. it's significant the chinese have left north korea in isolation. it's huge or as donald trump may

say "huge" but it's a very big thing, a big thing and gives north korea a sense of being utterly isolated from anyone else in the world and that's a positive development and one that frankly bodes well for being able to do something that will contain north korea and its utterly fanatical leader. >> you keep in mind the people there too because as you said he's willing to starve them. if he's willing to starve his people you can't put enough economic sanctions on him but if you can choke off his military capabilities then you have a conversation. let's move to the second topic because news busters had a piece i guess you won't be surprised the mainstream media doesn't really like president trump. in fact in this report it says the coverage on the network news the broadcast networks has been 89% negative. contrast that with president obama and he had quite a glowing

review in those honeymoon months. your thoughts. >> first of all, i think right now the world's oldest profession is get great deal of more respect among the american people than the so-called profession of journalism. journalism has died in this country. there isn't any. it used to be left to the viewer and reader to determine what they thought about it and today news casters are giving their opinion as in covering donald trump's immigration proposal it was 93% negative and in dealing with obamacare it was 94% negative and in the tweet they suggested the obama administration surveilled trump tower it was 99.5% negative. i want to know what was that

half percent that was positive because i must have missed that. everything i heard was utterly negative. you can't spit into the wind, you can't climb a ladder leaning toward you or kiss a woman leaning away from you. add one pore -- more to the list if you're donald trump you, you can't get a share fake -- fair shake from the media. >> he's fairly accessible to some of the media especially the new york times and washington post and talking about the health care bill. that's different and he does have respect for them in some way don't you? >> well, i do and the fact he engages them. it's interesting. i saw the news conference where he called them out and went after them. i thought it was delightful. it showed a president living outside the tight bubble with

the palace guard instead he was knocking them up one side and down the other. i think most americans were on his side. let's face it the media right has the reputation as popular as cockroaches and the influenza virus. >> the best way to deal with media bias is results and the putting points on the board. governor huckabee, thank you so much. >> thank you, dana. >> a retail apocalypse and are storm clouds ahead for the u.s. economy? we'll be right back with that.

>> dana: finally tonight, it >> tens of thousands of americans are losing their job as a result. the industry wells are feeling

concerned that the contract on the economy as a whole. joining us to analyze its fox news anchor cheryl casone he. i'm so glad you're here. i have been worried about retail and the job loss and there is a reason for a guest from technology, consumers changing their preferences. you are not as worried as i am. speak up now, what we are seeing is the retail economy that is changing. i'm going to call that because it's what's happening. you've seen a lot of jobs be lost in the retail industry just in october 2016. he saw that these jobs are disappearing, it's that they are changing. the t economy is changing. technology is ramping up. where houses are being built all across the country. we are syndrome companies grow. retail businesses that are thriving while others in your sears and your radioshack companies are actually going out of business. while you are seeing losses and section of the economy, your scene games and the other. frankly, retail jobs are lower paying jobs. i worked at the mall at chick-fil-a when i was younger.

i worked at the chicken place. but it's a low-paying job, a teenager or ary college kid for the mostt part. there's a lot concerned now about the overall effect of this on the economy. when you have lower paying jobs like this, those aren't really jobs that are going to have meaningful m input into the economy. because they are lower wage jobs. i really do think we are seeing an increase and a better job, a push towards t technology and a push of bringing back in the trump administration, manufacturing jobs and auto jobs for example. >> dana: also happens to the rent incomes of places where retail shop or most and are cw -- retail is going to change so much, what happens there? > we have seen this happen or the last ten years that the good old-fashioned mall, that i knew when i was a kid, is disappearing and a somewhat falling apart. i guess what you are seeing is a growth in urban centers. weto are seeing the population actually moving back into the

urban centers. the idea of suburbs from a real estate perspective has been changing. it's also been changing when it comes to commercial real estate, and of those are those mall facilities. while you are seeing that mall outside of -- you are seeing a new type of retail atmosphere as a result, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and everything.an you're saying that and merge. that's the connection that i see. >> dana: that some good news. i didn't anticipate that today because i've been having anxietn about people working in retail. this is good. there might be other jobs for them elsewhere. another question for you is the u.s. confidence. i was surprised today to see that it is down, at the lowest it's been in five months. i thought this last month it was up. >> at the number in particular is 12 points lower than it was rightt after the election in november. that doesn't surprise me whatsoever. that certainly is the administration and congress and the health care fight and the concern about tax reform.

all wall street cares about right now, all we want to see it as tax reform more rhetoric we hear about -- as he neared the end of the 100 days without any meaningful movement on health care, which is a concern that will delay tax reform, that hurts investors, that hurts thee american consumer. >> dana: when somebody says in a survey is how they are feeling at the h moment, so they may hae the same job they have back in november, but they don't feel as good about the economy. they are watching like we all are the hiring in d.c., can president trump get the republicans on board to further his policy? to get action that will actually help the american family? and that is tax reform. speak out this survey was done when the health care bill was failing. it was in middlemarch towards the end of march into april. there's always a lax period as well. the surveys -- there's a lot ofa them. the government surveys different companies and a gala one that is
