did not come closer. this time, no warning shots fired. this is another close encounter in the persian gulf. we'll keep you covered here on fox news channel. two hours today and all week, fair, balanced, and unafraid. see you tomorrow. [cheers and applause] >> martha: good evening everybody. welcome to "the first 100 days" town hall. tonight we are live in canton, ohio. the white house is pushing hard to put some points on the board on day 96. today, they were slamming canada on an unfair trade deal and huddling over these major tax cuts that we expect are going to roll out sometime tomorrow. while insisting that this campaign promise will happen. watch. >> were going to have the wall built. the wall gets billed 100%. so while fielding questions about the tax cut and the

ballooning deficit as well as the investigation today of mike flynn, sean spicer laid out the record as the white house sees it. watch this. >> in the moment he took office, the president has been taking action of putting america back to work but putting the people back into the government. despite the historic obstruction by senate democrats, he's worked with congress to pass more legislation in his first 100 days in any president since truman. he's chimed congressional asked to clear unnecessary regulations pretty he is assigned 28 pieces of legislation. the president has made 68 calls with 38 different world leaders and hosted a total of 16 bilateral meetings. the president has rebuilt america's standing in the world. the president and his extraordinary qualified cabinet has made incredible progress in jesse's first 100 days. but this is just the beginning. >> martha: just the beginning. we are coming to live as we said from north canton, ohio. you can see a great crowd that we have gathered here tonight.

as you know we talked politics, we say as ohio goes, so goes the nation and that has been true in the presidential election across recent history. it was here as well in stark county which is where canton is that we witnessed one of the most compelling stories of 2016. as the local paper put it, the day after the election, donald trump did not just win the stark vote, he conquered it. look at these numbers. defeated hillary clinton by more than 17 points in this county, just four years earlier, president obama beat mitt romney in this county by less than 1%. so what happened here? over the course of those years. that is what we want to dig into tonight. what was it about president trump, then the candidate that resonated with many voters in ohio who had voted for president obama twice. it could very well have been the message that he delivered just 10 miles from right here on the spot at the end of the campaign. watch this. >> the message is a good messag

message. it's a message of confidence. at some message of jobs, jobs, jobs. america's trade deficit with the proposed member cuts cost the state of ohio more than 100,000 jobs last year. state of ohio. imagine how many jobs and more jobs would be lost if it was actually approved. we will not let that happen. november 8th. we will not let that happen. >> martha: so that was the president on the campaign trail not far from here, but three months and now to the new administration, our voters happy with what they're saying from president trump? today feel like the economy is getting better? to they feel like the job market is starting to pick up? were going to get those answers straight from the people tonight. we will also be joined by two ohio natives, former trump labor secretary nominee as well as the states former democratic

governor ted strickland, both these settlement were very pleased to talk with the crowd as well. we want to start with the people who gathered here tonight at machinery. and i welcome all of you. it's great to have all of you here tonight. let's start by talking to some of the executives of this great country and as i said, which is been really impressed. michael larson, both executives here. let me start with you. what are you observing so far in "the first 100 days" as someone who helped to run this business, what's change? has anything changed? >> i would say optimism. excitement, more so than ever before. we are seeing more people looking towards manufacturing with inside the country than outside of the country. that excitement and that optimism started to grow. and i think over the past eight years, we didn't see that as much. some of the trade deficit started to dwindle down. were starting to see the fruit of that labor.

>> martha: when you go back and we watch now president trump on the campaign trail, talked about ppp and that sound bite. the fact that he canceled that early on, does not have any real impact on this company? >> as you know, we ship a lot to shore. and i do feel that were going to continue to do that very strong. to say it had a big impact on this company, i really couldn't say. at the end of the day, we've always shipped offshore. it's too early to say whether were going to get there or not. >> martha: so you sense business optimism, which we've seen it. consumer confidence numbers have been pretty strong over the past couple of months. michael larson, what are your thoughts having grown up? did you grow up in ohio? similar. >> strong midwest. >> martha: similar situation in the election as far as wisconsin and ohio. sweeney look at your company, what's change?

>> i don't want to mirror what michael said but specifically here, we upgrade employees and we see more interest out of what we call the younger generation. if great apprenticeship program, the internships. we see that interest. where we frankly didn't see it before. i don't know if that's due to the facility we've had orbits due to just the changes and optimism and the focus on manufacturing. >> martha: liska couple more people in who can talk about their perception of what happened in the state of ohio, always talking politics about how ohio is a microcosm for the rest of the country as well. it represents so many different groups of people. robert fenn did not support president trump so 96 days and, i'm curious robert what are your

thoughts? what are your thoughts about the president so far? >> speak my first initial thougs were surprised. i was surprised how many individuals would make a vote opposite to what i thought when i didn't think it would benefit them. i was also surprised for the banter that went back in for from individuals. if i can be frank, some of the hate language. i was surprised to see how we could have opposing point of views and somehow one side or the other was anti-american. so those were some of my first initial thoughts. >> martha: have any of your concerns been allayed over the left 96 days or not? >> as far as a surprise, no. that's part of my personality. whatever happens, it's going to

happen. therefore we have to continue to move forward. as far as dealing with other individuals who may have an anti-or opposing point of view is what i had, that still there. i was surprised that some of my i would say friends, he of social, i want to get off of the social media now. >> i think a lot of us do. >> other than that, i think we have moved on. >> thank you very much. good to hear from you. we'll come back. tammy works here at stolle. let's just get the mic in front of you. talk to me a little bit about are you from ohio originally? >> born and raised. >> martha: when you look around the state and you learn about the plans that have been here over the year, you have for it, he of the huber company, all these great names that we all grew up with that disappeared, that close their doors here, how

does that feel growing up here and how does it feel now? >> for me, i have a personal experience and that i was actually during the obama administer should laid off three times. so i knew it would it was like to come home and say how my going to pay that house payment. i cashed in 4o1 kays, i watched friends get laid off, husband's. i watched friends lose their homes. to this area especially the company, so many people work there and then one day they don't have a job. it's stifling for ohio and want to president common that gives you so much hope, so much optimistic and hopefully not be a typical politician and turn things around. >> martha: we have a couple minutes before we take a quick break but governor, what's your reaction to that? >> we all need optimism and hope who, but we also need certain

action. and the truth is that ohio lost 4,000 jobs in march. and so there is optimism, and we appreciate that. the fact is that i believe the president talks better than he acts. and let me just say why i say that. he hasn't renegotiated nafta. i congratulate him for withdrawing us from ppp. that something that i felt was in the best interest of the country. but it's early. i'm willing to give the president some time. it's been less than 100 days. i think we need to observe very carefully what's happening. in our country and in our economy. china is no longer a currency manipulator. and we heard a lot from the president before he was elected that he was going to declare china a currency manipulator. no longer.

so i'm willing to give him some time, but i want to hold him accountable for the promises that he made. and i think that's only fair. >> martha: you brought up a lot of good points that were going to get to specifically over the course of the hour. we'll get back to you after the break but one of the reasons that march tipped off a little bit may have been that health care reform did not go through. your thoughts as somebody who has run see ke, carl's jr., hardee's, run businesses all across this country and will go to break and come back for more. but he can't look at one month. if you look at the two months that we've had president trump in place, ohio has added 12,000 jobs. they added 36,000 over the past year. to a third of the jobs have been since president trump was elected. we have 1300 manufacturing jobs in this state. that's a lot of jobs. that's a lot of growth and a lot of it has to do with deregulation. strengthening the bureaucracy, we see a lot of that under president trump.

if you look at the 28 bills that he passed him a 25 executive orders, most of those related to shrinking the size of a government. his been very successful in that. >> martha: will be right back with a lot more. the trump administration today declaring that it was going to get tough with canada and others in order to protect american jobs. we are back in moments with reaction, new ideas, the thoughts of the people of ohio from the floor of machinery here in beautiful canton, ohio. american made with great pride. we'll be right back. 7 and older.

>> i love canada. but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years and you people understand that. so we did institute a tariff. we announced yesterday and were going to take care of our dairy farmers in wisconsin. and upstate new york and lots of other places. >> martha: is that i love canada but. let's go back toward town hall audience and get your thoughts on this. the bigger picture but i want to start with the bigger picture with you and we've done this at a short town halls over the course of the 100 days per let me lay out the question for you first and you can raise your hand with your thoughts on it. the question is what do you think about the presidency so far in "the first 100 days"? or you strongly in favor, do you have concerns about how things are going, or are you disappointed? so let's go backwards. let's start with those who would say 96 days inn, i'm

disappointed. raise your hand. okay. not too many. a couple folks back there. so the second part, sort of concerned. things are okay, but i'm a little concerned. a few more in that category. as you look around the room. how many strongly support what you see so far? wow. hands up all around. you've heard the president just talking about moments ago. let me go back to you gentlemen about this canada issue. also talking to the farmers today about ways to improve their business. do you think he made a wise move coming to strickland? >> our workers need to be protected when the president takes action to protect them, i applaud him for that. that's why i brought up the currency manipulation that china's undertaking suddenly,

it's not a big problem. so as i said, i want to give the president the time to do what he said he was going to do. but i'm concerned about some things. i'm concerned about the fact that his budget cuts about $300 million from the great lakes respiration project, which will eliminate that program totally. the great lakes are important to ohio and other states. >> martha: limited see a show of hands if you are unhappy about cutting funding to the great lakes restoration program, raise your hand? and who does not have a problem with that? about half and half of those who weighed in. >> that's just one issue. his budget does some other things. it cuts meals on wheels, it cuts head start funding. he wants to eliminate the appalachian regional commission. while that's very significant,

there are 36 appalachian counties in ohio i believe and 32 of those counties voted for donald trump. yet he wants to eliminate the arc, which is vitally important to these small communities in appalachia. the coal miners. he said he wanted to help the coal miners. at the end of this month, 20,000 retired coal miners will lose their health benefits and the president has been silent about that issue. it's an important issue and need to speak up and keep his commitment to those miners. >> let's go out for a moment. in terms of the promises that were made to bring back jobs to america because this is the issue. it got that combined with what you're discussing which is cutting some of the programs, cutting some of the bureaucracy. a machinist and a trump supporter. if you could stand up for us and sort of tell us what you think as you're to all of this. >> i think the jury is still

out. it's too soon to say yes, he's a tremendous success or he's a total failure. it's too soon to really make a final decision on that. in my case, i was working at a place that was pretty heavily invested in oil and gas industry and then we just saw things sort of tapering off in oil and gas so fortunately, i had a markable skill in the machining area and i was able to get new work but sort of the up and down and i guess just the general energy area has suffered quite a bit. and i am encouraged with what i see so far with the trump administration. like i said, the jury still out. but i am encouraged and think would have the opportunity to work in. and apply my skills. >> martha: thank you very much.

we want to weigh in on that before we go to a break? >> when you're a ceo or a businessman, one thing you need to do if you are going to negotiate is have a negotiating position. one part of that is sending messages. we send a message to canada today. we are canada's largest customer. canada does not want to mess with us and i don't want to mess with president trump. we sent a message today that if you mess with us, we're going to retaliate. status of your message, it wasn't crushing, but was summoned to let people know that you can't mess with the united states. same thing on china. china was a currency manipulator. i'm not an expert on this but what i read it, they stopped being a currency manipulator during the election. no big one since they are. they think decades ahead. accusing china of being a currency manipulator, using trade as a negotiating tool, he's been able to get the chinese to support our position in north korea. along with bombing syria, showing people we are serious. china has done more in the past two months to help us with north korea than they've done in

the past 25 years. that's because we had somebody who knew how to negotiate, who set a negotiating position and went forward with strength and i'm completely supportive of it. >> martha: will get more into foreign policy when we come back from this break. while the administration has focused on america first, in recent news from north korea, syria, and iran is threatening the president's message? will take a look at that question we come back with our town hall audience next here at stolle machinery in the heart of the buckeye state right after this. we cut the price of trades to give investors even more value. and at $4.95, you can trade with a clear advantage. it's when you have allergies, it can seem like triggers pop up everywhere. luckily there's powerful, 24-hour, non-drowsy claritin. it provides relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 different allergens. live claritin clear.

>> this is the catastrophe that does happen when we build up other countries instead of our own. we take care of everybody else. it's america first now. america first. [cheers and applause] >> martha: welcome back everybody. america first has been part of president trump's message since the start. but our events around the world started to threaten that stance. as the president deals with the threat of isis and others in the middle east and a softening in

trump's tone towards china when it comes to currency and trade issues. just talking about this, whether or not there a currency manipulator issue. he's trying to deal with north korea there's a picture of him when he was at mar-a-lago with president xi jinping of china. what about kim jong-un? and the question there as he continues to saber rattle and the president response to that as well. does bring back our audience here in north canton, ohio, tonight. were so glad to be with all of you. one of the things of the president talks. thank you so much. the president talked a lot about china on the campaign trail. mostly in terms of how they are unfair to us and trade. he said that he was going to label them a currency manipulator on day one. but now he has said that they are not a currency manipulator, at least not for now and he likes the coordination that he's getting from them on china. i want to get your thoughts on this. who has some thoughts on what we should do about china and whether or not you think the president is handling it the way he should be? stand up and tell us your name.

>> i'm the mayor of north canton here. when you talk about losing jobs, you see a north canton, we lost nearly 3,000 jobs when the hoover company left. that was in 2007. it was devastating to the community. we lost about 23% of our income. so jobs number one. we want to make sure we keep jobs here. they also had this war is company manufacturing over in china and they brought that manufacturing here to north canton. but only to be undercut by cheaper selling models that were being made over in china. so when we hear the america first american jobs come first, that's really, really important in this area. >> martha: you would rather he focus on that. >> thank you. >> martha: a lot of people would rather they focus on that. the president is in a tough spot. when you're dealing with world issues and you have somebody like kim jong-un was so unpredictable and potentially could put a nuclear warhead on an icbm missile that could

potentially reach the united states, do you think that's a more compelling problem? how do you choose between one or the other? wants to chime in on that over here? what you think in terms of china and the reaction and what we should be doing? i saw you nodding your head there. do you have any thoughts on tha that? >> apparently i do. i keep informed with my husband on a lot of historical and current events. he's very excellent on it. my concern is i think that trump does tend to backtrack on some of the things he said at the moment. yet crisis has come up and i think our national security has to trump everything. swipe of support him on that on the short term. i do have a side of me that feels that trump is because he feels an understanding as a working man. he's been out there out on the field doing his business, but he does understand people such as us here in canton and the ohio area but i think if the question

is is it okay for him not to say it's okay to manipulative the currency, i don't know if he's actually saying that but i think he is realizing how during the presidency. i for that issue will come back down the road once he stabilizes our national threat that we have over in the far east. >> martha: very interesting. another thing that the president talked about with regard to foreign policy was that he was very upset that we wasted as we put it in chilean dollars in the middle east fighting wars in afghanistan. the new so what happened in syria with the tomahawk missiles and the moab, mother of all bombs that was docked in afghanistan. are you concerned that he might be going down that road? that he might be bringing us back into the situation in the middle east that would eventually require to have a lot more of our resources turn in that direction? >> i'm very concerned. i'm a big history buff, so i see

in history saw this in the 2000s. we saw what happened when you try to come in with a hard strike. it shows and it looks like the iraq war. we keep going down the path of were going to bomb syria and do this, assad needs to go, that look is very familiar to me from 2000s. >> martha: it is -- when you president of the united states, you deal with a lot of issues that you don't necessarily know are going to land on your plate and i think that the president perhaps has confronted a more complex world situation that he ever expected. how do you balance those two things? >> i think the president really doesn't want to get us involved in another war in the middle east and that's important to me. it's important to me that his inclination is we should not go to work. so we have to do something for example bombing syria because they gas their own people, they crossed that redline that had been drawn previously, when he

does something like that, i feel better that he's doing it because i don't think he would do it unless he felt he really had to. >> martha: i'm curious what you all think about the president's approval numbers. we saw the polls during the course of the election and they turned out to be wrong pretty much. they certainly were wrong on election night. when you look at the polls and they say that he is the weakest, has the weakest approval rating of any president in recent history, do you believe that or do you think -- no, you don't? what's going on out there? 70 stand up and give us your thoughts. when you read polls and see what they're saying in the media about the presidency so far, why do you shake your head that you don't think it's true? there we go. >> it wasn't true before the election, why is it true now? [applause]

>> martha: what do you think about when you listen to the media and see these polls, what he think going on out there if you think that those numbers are not accurate that they don't reflect how they feel and if like what you see in your town? >> i don't believe any of it was true. it wasn't true before the election. i don't see how it's true now. the media has a reporting office a fake news and that's true. i talked to all my friends, people i've worked with, don't believe it. >> martha: thank you very much. governor strickland, what you think about that? you live in ohio, your democrat and you listen to this crowd. do you feel that you have a good read on what people in your state are feeling? >> i think the polls were true. >> martha: until they weren't. they weren't true. >> let me explain. hillary clinton did get 3 million more votes than donald trump.

but the president one. and now foreign policy is his responsibility. let me say this about foreign policy. for a long time in this country, the house and the senate, congress have neglected their responsibility when it comes to foreign policy. and the actions the president toke in syria, which i think was called for, he was using that authority and authorization that was passed right after 9/11. what happened in this country for several years, congress has failed to accept their responsibilities to be a partner with the president when it comes to foreign policy. we need a new authorization for military force. is that house and the senate with the president assumes responsibility. >> martha: i'm still getting no argument from this crowd that

congress is not doing their job. they have the lowest approval numbers out there. were going to take a quick break and come back with your thoughts governor. coming up next, the administration is taking a daily beating from the media. the people's report card here from the shop floor installing machinery when we come back. stay with us. we'll be right back. not ink. printing doesn't have to be painful. now, during "hp savings month" at staples, get up to $180 off hp printers. bp uses flir cameras - a new thermal imagining technology - to inspect difficult-to-reach pipelines, so we can detect leaks before humans can see them. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. i love how usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. at one point, i did change to a different company with car insurance, and i was not happy with the customer service. we have switched back over

as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising.

eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. >> martha: may not be a lot of what people here might call rich folks in stark county ohio, but there is a lot of pride in his a lot of support for president who manages double-digit victory over hillary clinton last november. since the election, the administration is taken a daily beating from a large part of the media which we discussed a little bit and a prior blog. we want to talk to her audience about that, see what they think, that is really fair. one of the issues that is come up a lot is the president sometimes will speak in hyperbole or exaggeration.

i want to get your feel for whether or not you mind that. the president has said that he has sort of the most accomplished 100 days of any president. he stopped about rolling out tomorrow the biggest tax cut that anyone's ever seen. so is that something that you sort of accept this kind of his weight? the art of the deal, starting begging and working from there? is it something that you think you should be held to task on? wants to answer that? >> i'm the ceo and president of this. we call those things hyperboles but ever since i've been a child, those have been called lies. i believe that as the president, he should just say say what he plans to do, execute what he plans to do. and not trick us with smoke and mirrors and then come back and say we don't really mean that. if we do that, we'd be a liar, we're fired, and is just

unacceptable especially from that office. >> martha: do you feel that presidents and prior politicians have done that before to you? >> but my point is regardless of what they did before, what they're doing now, we have an obligation to t we say but the country first, i look at flint, michigan. what's being done about the poisonous water there? we can talk about all of the great things that he plans to do, but we can only speak about what he's done. i'm not totally against the president. he is helped signed a bill for veterans, which i'm a 20 year retired air force member, so i was elated to read and hear about him signing a bill that we can now get health care outside of the va system. i was elated about that. >> martha: it sounds like you're willing to give him a chance. but you want him to -- you don't want him to exaggerate. you want him to speak to you. >> when i was in the military, i was told a statement that said shut up and color and i did that for 20 years. but when it came time for being

honest, the forest saying integrity first. they teach my airman and teach my current employees and teach my children that, it has to come from the highest office. integrity first. you cannot say now is a hyperbole and i didn't really mean it like his understanding now that nato is needed. be careful what you say. to do some investigation. you have wonderful team around do you say, allow them to notify you and keep you informed so that you don't do the hyperboles you just speak the truth. >> martha: thank you for your service. thank you very much. i'd love to get a show of hands because i want to know what priorities are most important to you as a look at what the president is trying to tackle. he did talk about the wall today and he said it's going to get 100% built. so i want to get your thoughts on what is most important to you. the choices for this particular question our tax reform, repealing and replacing health care, and building the wall. so which one is the most important to you that you want

to the president to focus on his head into the second 100 days? build the wall first. all of the above. build the wall very important to you ma'am but only one person said that was their top priorit priority. why is that more important to you than health care or tax reform? >> a bully we got to protect our borders first and get things straightened out and get all the people that are legal in the country, then take care of our health care. we can't be protected and covering all the people that come in here illegally. and are not good upstanding citizens. we've got to protect america first. >> martha: okay. so raise your hand if you want to see health care repealed and replaced, the president said he needs to do that first before tax reform. you agree with that? you want health care first?

a couple of hands over here, couple of hands over here. who wants to see the tax code to simplified and corporate taxes lowered, individual taxes lowered? clearly that is your first choice. that's going here and get your thoughts on why that is. next to the lady who just spoke if you would. >> from an economic standpoint, i think i would like to have a little bit more of my money back in. all the programs that we really don't need to have in this country. i just think from an economic standpoint. >> martha: you bring up a great .1 of the things that we have seen a lot of in the 100 days is rolling back bureaucracy and trying to cut the size of government. how many people think that that is what they voted for? that's a priority that really means something to them? hands all around. andy, this is something why is that such a big deal, and what

you think when you hear people saying that there hasn't been that much accomplished so far? >> i think that's wrong. the 28 aces of legislation the president signed the 25 executive orders basically went to reduce the size of government a rollback this incredible regulatory state that was hurting businesses like michael's. what we need to do is we need to generate revenue. you need tax revenue. we don't need higher taxes, we need more tax revenue. you don't get more tax revenue by taxing the businesses that generate growth. if we can increase gdp by 1% from the pathetic 2% that we've had for the past eight years, we could increase that just the 3%, that's $180 billion in revenue. see want to raise revenue, reduce capital gains dances. people that own assets will sell them. they'll be tax revenue and will have more revenue. you can't increase revenue by taxing the people that generate income. it just doesn't work. >> martha: were going to take

a quick break. as we approach the end of "the first 100 days," where did these voters want the ministry should to focus? will get to bet that when we come back right here in north canton, ohio, at the break. hold on to your tiara kind of day. get 24/7 digestive support, with align. the #1 doctor recommended probiotic brand. also in kids chewables. dear freshpet, zooka had digestive problems and wouldn't eat. then i fed him freshpet. apparently, i kept her up all night. she said the future freaks her out. how come no one likes me, jim? intel does! just think of everything intel's doing right now with artificial intelligence. and pretty soon ai is going to help executives like her see trends to stay ahead of her competition. no more sleepless nights.

- we're going to be friends! - i'm sorry about this. don't be embarrassed of me, jim. i'm getting excited about this! we know the future. we're going to be friends! because we're building it.

>> martha: as you know, president trump wrote a massive wave of support from ohio straight to the white house. how can he keep that support going from this state passed "the first 100 days"? let's check with newly elected republican party chair who won a hard-fought battle after receiving support from then president-elect trump. so he helps you get where you are today at least in this part of your life, right? >> absolutely. what the reaction to what you're hearing here tonight? >> first of all, it's great to be in stark county. my hometown. my reaction is the support is strong in stark county. i got to see it firsthand how many people were coming into our victory centers with enthusiasm, excitement to vote for president trump. these are people who had never previously engaged in politics, and they were coming out in droves, making phone calls and knocking on doors. it was like nothing i have seen. i've been involved in last presidential cycle and i could feel the electricity in the

excitement. >> martha: want to get your reaction to the media questioning because when i look around at what's going on all across the channels and newspapers as we all do, there's a lot being written about how it's the worst we successful 100 days in history, the lowest approval numbers that we've seen them, and you're not experiencing that. you're not seeing that. >> i'm not seeing it. quite frankly, i like to sometimes make the comparison when i talk to people about president reagan move. he was criticized by the media. people thought that he wasn't as good of communicators he would've liked to be. the hot his ideas in the economy were crazy. president trump wakes up in my opinion every day thinking about how he's going to bring jobs, prosperity and national security to this country i think it's resonating with the people here. >> martha: so one of the things that i want to bring up because i want to explain a little bit about where we are. your family is also a steel company from ohio. we saw this write up the road

from where we are today. the dakota access pipeline, the keystone pipeline, talk to me about what you think the impact is of those decisions on the state of ohio? >> i know that the green lighting of the keystone pipeline is going to bring about 5,000 jobs the state of ohio. that significant to the state. we talk about numbers of jobs. when the president makes these decisions, i know that he's always thinking about what's best for the america first economy and what's best for the american workers and the best for the american manufacturers. we can't grow our businesses in this country, we can't hire more people, we can't have a better economy. i know that people were clamoring for that in the past election. >> martha: i want to go out and talk to the gentleman from stolle real quickly if i could one more time. michael and michael. if you could stand up you don't mind. in terms of your business and what you're seeing here, you

make machines that make cans that go all around the world. so regulation, health care, all of these issues, heavy senior premiums rise, would you like to see repeal and replace, what would help your business the most? would like to tell president trump tonight? >> most importantly as tax reform. he mentioned earlier, but tax reform is a was focused on corporations is not focused on our small businesses. we take a look at the equipment that's in here, a lot of small businesses contribute to the manufacturing site here in ohio. a lot of minister, stolle, rockwell, perfecto, all local and the state of ohio. they need that break too. it's not just like double too, not happy about my taxes either. but more importantly as a supportive small businesses so they can to can rise and create jobs. >> martha: and to you. >> i agree. all corporations have to

reinvest to create jobs. that's what's key. i'm all about protecting the young people in this audience. my daughter, all the young employees that we have working for us and only way they were going to protect them in this manufacturing environment is to have our corporations, our small businesses start reinvesting and grow this economy on a manufacturing base rather than a service base. >> martha: thank you very much gentleman. final thoughts from ohio when they 96 of "the first 100" continues from north canton tonight right after this. we'll be right back. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. you want this color over the whole house? when a fire destroyed everything in our living room. we replaced it all without touching our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that. no. you can leave worry behind

when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance who's the new guy? they call him the whisperer. the whisperer? why do they call him the whisperer? he talks to planes. he talks to planes. watch this. hey watson, what's avionics telling you? maintenance records and performance data suggest replacing capacitor c4. not bad. what's with the coffee maker? sorry. we are not on speaking terms.

what's with thiscoffee maker? this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira.

what's your body of proof? >> martha: i want to thank stolle machinery for hosting are in town hall tonight in north canton, ohio. also a big thanks to our fantastic audience. i so enjoyed hearing but all of you had to say tonight. i know everybody across the country did as well. our special guest, thank you to them as well for being here tonight.
