3:02 am
they checked another thing off last night. ainsley: several things. steve: nafta. while out on the campaign trail, the president of the united states a businessman called nafta a disaster. as it turns out after floating a trial balloon yesterday that we're going to pull out. last night it was announced at 10:46 that we would renegotiate to benefit all three countries. ainsley: he spoke on the phone with canada the justin trudeau and the president of mexico. he said it was honor to deal with both of them and pleasant conversation and very productive. brian: conversations like nafta has it. bush 41 propose you had it. bill clinton passed it. it was supposed to bring more affordable trade negotiations and prices for all three countries. instead, it cost americans upward mostly college dropouts and blue collar workers millions of jobs.
3:03 am
they were the most affected. on the other side, mexican prices on food prices and unemployment was supposed to go down. and their economy was supposed to flourish. it didn't it grew at 1.4%. it's below many central and south american countries. can you say mexico says i don't mind doing this again. clearly president trump doesn't mind doing this again. steve: right. brian: canada seenels to have benefited the most. they say they're open to doing it. there is nothing wrong with that what deal in 1992 still oldz up in 2017. steve: sure. it's been 23 years. you can see the president with the prime minister of canada right there. what's interesting is while it's been announced that they are going to renegotiate nafta, which is big news for team trump, congressional rules prohibit the president from renegeiating until his trade representative has been confirmed by the senate. which that person has not yet and then even after that it takes 90 days. you got to get everybody on the same page.
3:04 am
nonetheless, he continues to check things off the bucket list and check off nafta because now it's been renegotiated. ainsley: other thing yesterday he rolled out tax plan. it's huge for everyone who pays taxes. they are going down if you pay taxes. there are seven tax brackets and decreasing it to three. making it more simple. steve: love that. brian: couldn't get details out of sarah huckabee sanders yesterday but we did have an idea that they were going to propose cutting the corporate tax rate down to 15% which experts say is key. don't even cut it to 20 because you have got to make it competitive with the most competitive countries in the world. is he also going to movie on and talk about rye peeling the death tax so when you die you don't have to give up your money. they say it's going to add between 3 and 7 trillion to the deficit. it's going to be lost revenue. supporters say no we are going to grow this economy so fast
3:05 am
it's going to make up for the revenue. the economists economic experts say if you want to do that, we have to grow at 4.5%. even the best opinions about what's going to happen here we are forecasting 3% growth. so somewhere the really smart men and women have to decide what's going to work. steve: what was presented yesterday was a plan of principles. you know, once it goes up to capitol hill, it's going to come out something completely different. this is the ultimate wish list. the key though when you strip away everything and here's the headline of the "new york post" today, trump proposes biggest cut in history, taxes, chainsaw massacre. at its core, is the idea that if you give businesses and people more of their own money to keep, they can reinvest it in their families, they can reinvest it in the business and grow the business. the "wall street journal" talks about how and this is an interesting point. half of the corporate tax burden is carried by workers in the form of lower wages.
3:06 am
and then by moving to 15%, essentially that is a national pay increase. one of the two men who was charged with presenting the plan to the world, steve that new jerseyen also gary cohn who is the national director of economic council for the president he said this is gigantic. >> we have a once in a generation opportunity to do something really big. president trump has made tax reform a priority. and we have a republican congress that wants to get it done. and this is something that quite honestly i hope the democrats would support, too. because it's good for the american people. the president is going to seize this opportunity by leading the most significant tax reform legislation since 1986. and one of the biggest tax cuts in the american history. ainsley: liberals are so worried about how this is going to increase our deficit. we are going to be in debt even more.
3:07 am
like you were saying what this does is allows companies to open up businesses here, allows some of the american companies that have gone overseas to come back here. that, in turn, creates jobs. that means more people are paying taxes so that makes up for the deficit. in addition to that you and i are going to have more money in our pocketbooks or in our wallets. that means you can spend more at the stores. if you have more money you can send your kids to college and buy better things. brian: i kid myself. ainsley: your cell phone is going to get fatter. brian: that's what i'm hoping for. when people say rich are going to get away with more of their money and benefit from this. keep in mind the deductions are going to be virtually eliminated. charity tax i'm glad it pays off overall society. a lot of deductions are going to be gone until they beat the system. steve: let's hope there is no system to beat. brian: you quoted the "new york post" and "wall street journal." i you wanted to share with you out subtitle to the "new york
3:08 am
times" editorial section. the skimpy one page tax proposal to the trump administration released is by historical standards a laughable stunt by a gang looking to enrich themself to the expense of the country's future. steve: tax overhaul is going to aid wealthiest. ainsley: everyone not the wealthiest. what is good though for the wealthiest. i never understood the death tax. you pay taxes out of your paycheck when you get paid. then, when you die the country takes 50% of that. it's already been tax you had. it's a double tax. steve: it's rather high standard though. i think the threshold a little more than 5 million if you have an estate worth more than 5 million then it takes it. ainsley: right. steve: you don't get double taxed under this plan. ultimately though what about this is all about is creating jobs. donald trump on day 97 presented his plan, now they're going to work out the details. it sounds like steve mnuchin said yesterday a team of
3:09 am
people working at treasury. those ideas will go up to capitol hill. then paul ryan and mitch mcconnell, they're all going to do some chitchatting and chewing. what's going to come out? don't know. nonetheless, within the first 100 days the new president of the united states has suggested the biggest tax cut in history. brian: let's talk about berkeley. ainsley: free speech. started at berkeley and ended at berkeley. ann coulter had to cancel her event because of security reasons. >> i think what's going on with berkeley it, shows how radical the universities are generally. what you are talking about yes, i agree they want to squelch conservative speech. there is a separate issue with the universities right now. when you have bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, bill maher, joy behar and so on and so forth, when they are all say oh, get over yourselves berkeley we have a first amendment.
3:10 am
people have fought and died for the right to free speech. steve: absolutely. here's the thing. she and this is why this is so bad on so many different levels. she had a contract to go to berkeley and speak. and then suddenly there was, you know, there was protests threatened and things like that. and the police said hey, you can come, but you can't come on the day you want. you have got to come during dead week at a time and place off campus. she said i'm still going to come. young americans foundation pulled their support for her because they said they could not guarantee her safety or the safety of others. brian: stand down order they claim. although they won't admit to it by police to stand down and let the violence happen unless there is a threat of life. steve: that's just it. she couldn't guarantee her safety and the police would not guarantee her safety as well. looks like going forward the standard is going to be if there is somebody you don't like, you don't appreciate their point of view, all you have to do now is thrown protest and you are going to get shut down.
3:11 am
that's terrible. brian: here's what's great. the embarrassments the universities have brought on to themselves by having safe spaces for students. backlash places like drexel when professors do things that are absolutely out of control and counter intuitive to normal decorum and when you see ann coulter being defended by bernie sanders and bill maher, i think this is a tipping point. each the front page of the "new york times." they said either republicans or conservatives get behind it. no, these are logical people that understand universities should entertain all points of view. i believe universities are going to turn around now and tips point. steve: embarrassing. brian: other schools would say i don't want any of this negative publicity. i don't want to look intolerant. steve: you also have to defend the speech of people you don't appreciate. unfortunately at the university of california at berkeley, they did not do that and ann coulter will not speak. brian: all three of us appreciate abby huntsman. am i right?
3:12 am
steve: of course. good morning. abby: good to be with you this morning. i do have some headlines to bring you starting with a fox news alert. right now a suspected cop killer is barricaded inside of his home 18 hours after gunning down the state trooper. 32-year-old steven ballard shot dead at gas station parking lot in delaware. he was investigating a suspicious vehicle when police say one of the men got out, pushed him to the ground and opened fire. the killer taking off running 15 miles to his home where he has been hold up now for hours firing at officers. a heart breaking scene at the caravan of police vehicles accompanying ballard's body to the coroner. he was an 8 year veteran of the force. so sad. another fox news alert. a masked man with loaded guns drives up to police station and threatens officers. dallas police say 22-year-old al-zawahiri gun five clips and marijuana in his car. he was immediately arrested for weapons, drugs and firearms charges.
3:13 am
he is now undergoing a mental health evaluation. play with fire. north korea sending that chilling message as u.s. military preparations get underway in south korea. our military setting up a defense system that would destroy any missile fired at the u.s. and entire senate bust the white house on wednesday to be briefed on that arriving threat. all this while a nuclear attack takes place near manhattan. the four day simulation at metlife stadium focuses on how to treat thousands who could potentially be hurt in that kind of attack. unfortunate we even have to be doing this type of drill. reali reminder of the reality we live in. steve: like a flashback to the 60's with duck and cover. thank you very much. brian: but we survived. steve: we did. we didn't have north korea to worry about. ainsley: i wasn't born. steve: meanwhile another in-flight fiasco and this time delta is the target of passenger outrage. passenger forced to leave the plane. it wasn't because they wanted his seat. the reason will probably surprise you. brian: it's our top story this morning.

3:20 am
>> businesses are confident. consumers are confident. they have want to spend. they want to invest. they are waiting for him to get his policy priorities done. they want to see tax reform passed. they want to see health reform passed. he gets those done, the jobs come. a minus because he set the right tone. now he has quote to get the big things done and that starts with tax reform. ainsley: been in office almost 100 days. >> if he gets the tax done a. he is on the right track. he is heading there he needs to keep going. ainsley: brian brenberg. thank you so much. ainsley: was we learn new details about the prisoner swap one answer remains where is bob levinson? his wife is going to join us next. texas lawmaker commits to four day hunger strike. the question is did she make

congress would have to do it. steve: that's not going to happen. >> the democrats would filibuster it and republicans have 52 votes in the senate. they would need to get another 8 from the democrats. if it did happen it would simple ply divide these 17 or 18 active sitting judges in to two or three circuits. i'm not sure that doing that will serve the president's purpose other than symbolically because these are lifetime appointments. steve: sure. >> and liberals just like conservatives don't want to leave when there is a democrat in the white house. liberals don't want to leave when there is a republican in the white house. steve: ultimately, that is the best way for the president to change the ninth circuit would be for him to appoint judges who are aligned with him ideologically out there. didn't that happen in the fourth circuit. >> the fourth circuit which is headquartered in richmond, virginia for many, many years wars the most conservative in the country. president obama succeeded in turning it around, almost 100 percent it is now second
3:48 am
only to the ninth in its population of being filled with liberal judges because president obama was steadfast in trying to do that. so these ideological turns can happen. but ronald reagan and both presidents bush tried very hard to turn around the ninth circuit and they did not succeed. it's cyclical. it depends on when people die. and when they decide their time has come to retire. steve: politically though, isn't this a little helpful to the president of the united states because he can say look, i'm trying to keep my promise. but either congress or these judges on the ninth circuit aren't helping out. >> i think the president gets crowing rights even when he loses because he says, look, i did what i promised. it's these judges that have stopped me. i have tried to slow down the judges, and the democrats and the congress stopped me. either way, his base approves. steve: all right. judge andrew napolitano. thank you very much. great analysis today. >> thank you, steve. steve: meanwhile we have a fox news alert for you now.
3:49 am
while you were sleeping or heading to sleep, the president convinced both canada and mexico to renegotiate nafta. and stuart varney feels that's goings to mean a lot for all of us. he is going to explain what it could mean for you coming up. vending machines turning into pharmacies, plan b, and clean needles now available for sale in vensding machines. dr. nicole saphier weighs in on that coming up next. ♪ still believe in the good old way ♪ i watch them shut the factories down ♪ and the foreigners poured into town ♪ and take
3:53 am
ainsley: vending machines turned pharmacies? one is offering plan b contraceptives. another has sterile needles for iv drug users for sale in that vending machine. brian: you're kidding is this a good idea? dr. nicole saphier is a board certified physician here. let's start with the needle vending machines, doctor. does this sound like an idea whose time has come or something we have got to get used to? >> i would love to say this is a novel concept. this has been going on for decades it's not in the united states only. it's all across the world they have tons of he is this world. steve: where are they doing it. >> where are the actual vending machines? most of the time associated with drug rehabilitation centers. in other countries you actually have them in back alley ways and convenience stores in areas where people do buy their drugs. steve: the idea is to do what? >> so here in the united states, essentially what it is is it's not a deter people from actually using iv drugs. we need to make that clear. this is not to reduce the opioid crisis.
3:54 am
we are trying to reduce transmission of h.i.v. and hepatitis c which are rampant in our drug using population. so what it does -- it has proven effective. this works. if you actually provide sterile syringes and needles, we have cut h.i.v. transmission in half amongst drug users. ainsley: which is fantastic. so weird. so sell needles. >> hard to wrap head around that this concept. proven effective. it's not exacerbating drug use individually or amongst society. it is cutting h.i.v. transmission that is important. brian: law enforcement might hang out by the vending machines and get an idea of where he or she is going. >> so in the united states using drugs is a criminal act. and that is one problem that we are facing that people are not going to use these because they fear the retribution of it. steve: while the cost is $10 per kit. actually free for the user. have you got to generate some sort of a pass code and punch in a pass code and get it for
3:55 am
free. >> that's because we don't want to deter people from using. it to treat someone for h.i.v. is over $350,000 for lifetime. long term this is cost effective. ainsley: what about uc davis? they have plan b. selling those pills for $30 in their vending machines. >> on college campus now we are seeing that they're offering the plan b morning after pill on the vending machines. now when we're talking about h.i.v., i do want to say plan b does not prevent h.i.v. it does not prevent transmission. selling this in a vending machine is not a religious or women's rights topic because right now federal rule is you have access to this. we are able to get plan b. so what the problem i see with this is have you these young people who, by the way, less than 24 years of age, 25% of our new h.i.v. diagnoses. a quarter of the united states population of h.i.v. is coming from our high school and college aged kids. so if we're giving plan b. these kids now may think okay well now i'm not running the risk of getting pregnant so
3:56 am
now i'm not going to use condoms. what is this going to do to h.i.v. and other stds. are kids going to make safe sex practice based on vending machine and no longer talk to mentors or healthcare professional? brian: here is what u.k. davis said in explaining. this. ainsley: wellness machine. another access point to healthcare tenels as it is available to students, faculty and staff for extended time beyond traditional business hours. brian: makes it more convenient. >> not necessarily sure it's good for the long run. steve: doesn't prevent disease just prevents pregnancy. >> exactly. steve: thank you victim of. interesting stuff. ainsley: celebrating take your kids to work day with our children. next hour, you're going to meet brian's daughters. brian: yes. they are in the building. that's not all. we also have congressman government will be with us. you know he is with the freedom caucus. colonel oliver north will be here talking to north korea and dr. phil talks about whatever he wants because is

>> the president is going to seize this opportunity by leading one the biggest tax cuts in the american history. >> there are seven different tax brackets right now. is he going to decrease it to three. >> tax cuts are meant to reduce tax revenue. that's good. you want to put more money in people's pockets. that's what i love about this. >> suspected cop killer is barricaded inside of his home 18 hours after gunning down a state trooper. >> time has come to empower students to make the decisions that help their students achieve success. >> latest fox news poll shows the president's job approval rating at 45%. >> absolutely extraordinary scene here at the white house. bus loads of senators arrive for what was a very long briefing on north korea. steve: last night it was

4:02 am
announced that that disaster that is nafta as the president of the united states has referred to nafta is now going to be renegotiated after yesterday he floated that trial balloon that we're going to pull out. >> it's classic trump, isn't it? you establish a very strong negotiating position right up front. it's a disaster. we're going to withdraw. we are slapping some tariffs on canadian lumber. very, very strong position. talk to the leaders of mexico and canada and bring them all together and say okay, well, we're not going to withdraw. we're not going to kill nafta, no, we will renegotiate it and the outcome will be all three countries will be stronger. ainsley: what does it mean for the families at home. they hear nafta and what the heck is that what does it mean. >> hard to say in the immediate future. simply don't know. frank, will i i can't answer your question directly. but change is coming to that trade agreement. and probably trump will try to organize more jobs coming back to america. that will be his basis for renegotiating.
4:03 am
brian: 194 doing polls to find out what you think and asking economists what they project will happen. since 1994 blue collar workers have paid a steep price, lost millions of jobs as cheap labor and a lot of our companies have gone to mexico. mexico is not that happy because their g.d.p. is only going to 1.3% and not had the boone they thought. maybe canada benefited the most. it's time to go in there and work out a better deal. keep the tariffs off but make out a better deal for america. >> isn't that exactly what trump said as negative can he would renegotiate. he said he would withdraw. he would do something about trade. well, he has withdrawn from this things tpp. that's not going to happen. now he is renegotiating nafta. bottom line is, as we approach the 100 day mark for his presidency, he is fulfilling some of the promises which he made during the election. steve: that's right. that rally going to have on saturday night out in pennsylvania is going to be big. so ultimately, he has argued that you get rid of nafta or renegotiate it will be better
4:04 am
for jobs, jobs, jobs. essentially that's the argument his two economic advisors the secretary of treasury and economic expert mr. cohn said yesterday in rolling out the principles of his tax plan. we know some the things that are included although many details have being to be worked out. ainsley: seven tax brackets reduced to 3. 7. cut corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%. keep big companies here. repeals estate tax known as death tax and repeels all earnive minimum tax. >> we can all get wound up in the details of this. to me, the bottom line is it's another promised fulfilled by the president. he promised a middle class tax cut and that tax plan is a huge middle class tax cut. let's be clear about this. if you're going to have a tax rate, a maximum tax rate of
4:05 am
15% on small business, mom and pop owners, that's the backbone of america's middle class, they get a whopping great big tax reduction. furthermore, you can now earn -- as a family of four, so-called typical family of four, you can earn up to what is it $24,000 and not pay a dime in federal tax. steve: your burden is zero. >> zero bracket. that's for the middle class of the united states of america. brian: do you know what i would like, to i think it was a good idea to have it presented by the treasury secretary and national financial advisor gary cohn out there. they are out there. people like to jump on donald trump any word he might say or too direct or controversial. here are my two experts. here is the presentation. during the day, north korea. here is the challenge. meet my secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. these are my guys, my feel people. if you want to insult people, these are my experts. go at them. the reporters can't keep up with them. now, a couple of things. as you know, the revenue
4:06 am
decreases and they say that right now, 3 to $7 trillion will be lost in the economy if these taxes are cut. what is stuart varney's free market answer to that? >> my answer is i can't believe the democrats are whining about growing the deficit and the debt. during the last 8 years, we went from $10 trillion in debt to $20 trillion in debt. no other president, no other time period had ever seen a rise in the debt and the deficit quite like that. why are they now whining about this tax plan which actually may well pay for itself in the long run. brian: betting on america's productivity? >> look, in the immediate future, the deficit, the debt will go up. that's a fact. that's gonna happen. you have already got a 400 billion-dollar deficit baked in because of the olbermann oba. the debt goes up but over the longer term you get growth from tax cuts and that will take care of the ongoing
4:07 am
deficit to some degree. ainsley: this election was different than the past it really was not about social issues. it was about these types of issues. these types of policies, bringing jobs back, putting more money in your pocketbook. >> democrats are a bit late for that you are quite right. it was about jobs and about growth. how do you get growth to get the country moving towards prosperity. that's what people want. and i think as we approach the 100 day mark, i think we are getting a fair share of it. steve: you ask the average democrat they would say i would love to have taxes go down. who wants their taxes to go up ultimately. however, the left, and the mainstream media, the "new york times," their argument now is that this largest tax cut in history benefits mainly the rich. >> okay. let me come back on that. all those rich folks who voted for hillary clinton, will they now give back the tax cut that they're going to get from donald trump? steve: they aren't going to get much, are they? >> getting rid of all the deductions except two. >> this is a middle class tax cut.
4:08 am
also a tax cut for the wealthy, nowhere near as much as they thought they were going to get. ainsley: tax cut for everybody everyone. 39% to 35% is that significant. >> 4% drop. that's something. brian: hope is they will put in the pool. open up the business. put the investment in and it trickles down. >> why complain that somehow or another a tax cut for the wealthy benefits all. donald trump as the president. that's a very thin read to base your opposition on. steve: wealthy are the people we have paid we have seen by statistics most of the taxes in the country. >> do the math. if the top half of the population is paying all the tax, then it's the top half of the population which will get all the tax refunds. steve: they left that out of the "new york times." >> i know they did. brian: there is movement in terms of healthcare with the freedom caucus saying i have a plan can i work with. how is the market expected to be affected by that if the optimism is real.
4:09 am
>> caps out a very good week, doesn't it. >> tax cut plan, renegation of nafta and maybe you've got a solid agreement on obamacare. the market loves it. you are going to open up today. open up your 41001 can. have a look at it have you done very well. we are only 140 points away from all time record high on do you industrials. brian: have a look at stuart varney's 401(k). ainsley: most important issue facing our economy economy and jobs. 22% felt that way. healthcare was 13%. fox news poll shows that the nation's job situation 52 percent said it's getting better. 34 percent said worse. >> well, there is enormous increase in confidence and optimism on the part of consumers and business. and when you have got a week like, this tax reform, nafta renegation, maybe healthcare agreement, you have got yourself a -- steve: while the tuesday group and freedom caucus has suggested that they are on board with the new thing, i
4:10 am
don't think they still know whether or not they have got the votes. >> that is true. only time will tell. you are never supposed to say that in journalism but it's true. again, they are saying we are very, very close. it's coming soon. well, i've heard that before. if the freedom caucus is on board, we are closer than ever. brian: you don't leave mee at the altar again, america. that's what you are saying by -- >> -- i am? brian: i'm interpreting. i'm very bullish on your show 9 to noon all true stories. >> 9 to noon eastern time. brian: thank you. >> thank you one and all. ainsley: let's head over to abby. abby: good to see u stuart. always good to have you here. cop killer barricaded inside of his home 19 hours after gunning down a state trooper. 32-year-old shot in a gas station parking lot in delaware. he was investigating a suspicious vehicle when police say one of the men got out, pushed him to the ground and opened fire.

move the tariffs between the nations and economically it seems as though mexico had the most to gain and in terms of labor and manufacturing, they did gain the most. and that really hurt the blue-collar or the so-called college dropouts in america, and we now have 20 years to look back on it, and look at the numbers. the numbers do not lie. it has not worked for many ways in america, so let's just make it better. steve: meanwhile, today is day 98 of the president's first 100 days. on saturday night, i'm sure the president is going to announced to a crowd out in pennsylvania i'm renegotiating nafta, just like i promised i would do, and he's also going to have something else to talk about, and that is the fact that and you know what? the new york post has a great cover. trump proposes the biggest cut in history. the china shaw massacre. brian: just an outline. ainsley: right now there are seven tax breaks the.
5:04 am
he's going to reduce those to three different brackets. 10%, 25%, or 30%. he's going to cut standard deduction, cut corporate tax from 35% to 15% so we can be competitive with china, repeal the state tax, which is known as the death tax. brian: right so the charity tax and mortgage reduction tax really help middle class and working across people, sole certainly help. but a lot of the loopholes that help the working class and the successful amongst us are how the so-called rich are going to pay the price for this because there aren't going to be as many loopholes for them not to pay taxes. iraq and since i'm holding up newspaper headlines, here's the new york times. tax overhaul would aid the wealthiest. that's not only from the new york times but from the democrats as well. saying, look, he's cutting taxes to help his pals. steve mnuchin who is the
5:05 am
treasury secretary last hour was on good morning, america, and he says the objective is for the rich, not to get a tax cut. so, in other words, it's a wash for the rich whereas the middle class if you had been struggling over the last 10, 15 years, this plan, if it goes through congress and passed by congress, will help you. ainsley: that is how the left tries to spin it, though, that it's only going to help the wealthy. it's going to help everybody. every single person's tax rate will go down, which means more money in your pocketbook. that will help the poorest, the middle class, and it will help the wealthy for everyone paying in for taxes, it's going to help. steve: but the key is for middle class, and that's what stuart varney who was on this couch an hour ago said. >> the bottom line is it's another promise fulfilled by the president. he promised a middle class tax cut, and that tax plan is a huge middle class tax cut. let's be clear about this.
5:06 am
if you're going to have a tax rate, a maximum tax rate of 15% on small businesses, mom and pop owners, that's the backbone of america's middle class, they get a whopping great, big tax reduction. furthermore, you can now earn -- a family of four, you can earn up to what is it? $24,000 and not pay a dime in federal tax. 24,000. that's your zero bracket. that's for the middle class of the united states of america. brian: so when you cut taxes, the less revenue comes in. so the experts means that means about 3 to $7 trillion will not come in if we grow at 1.5%. but the goal is to grow at 3%. that's what steve mnuchin says, but the numbers say we have to grow at 3.5%. so let's see it. no one think so the current tax system is up to date and can you get edge. in the '80s it worked. it has to be updated. people worked their way
5:07 am
through the loopholes but right now where is that revenue coming from? and if it's not deficit neutral, we have to work through a normal process. ainsley: think about carrier, the energy company. if they're not moving to mexico, they're going to stay here and taxed at 15% versus 35%. guess what that means? they're going to make more money and be able to hire more people and this means companies aren't going to move to china, they're going to mov stay here and ship all their products from america. steve: it's not just countries going to china, it's countries going to ireland. why would you go to ireland? brian: beautiful. steve: it is beautiful. 40 shades of green. brian: a lot of castle. steve: 16 percentage of my heritage is from ireland. they go there because the rate is about 13% corporate tax. so what we would do is if we went from 35% to 15%, we would make us more competitive with the entire world.
5:08 am
the other thing is there are a lot of small mom-and-pop businesses, which historically have been taxed at 39.6%. under this plan, they would be down to 15%. what are they going to be able to do? invest more in their business. this helps everybody, provided it is enough to spark the economy and once we get up past 3 or 4% if that's even possible, doable, donald trump who is the president of the united states would certainly be making good on his promise for jobs, jobs, jobs, and to ignite the economy. brian: hopefully it will be democrats involved so it won't be another party gets it, another overturns it. ainsley: i was so excited because tomorrow we were going to be able to report a what ann coulter said at uc berkeley. steve: today. ainsley: today. she is supposed to speak today. she canceled that event because she says there's too much violence and her life could be at risk. or security's not tight. sponsored her backed out because the police chief they
5:09 am
heard has got a stand down order, and i would love to hear from law enforcement. ainsley: me too. brian: that they were not going to -- just like we saw before, we wondered where the cops were last time when milo was there. now we're not going to protect ann coulter on campus. so it would be worse. ainsley: we're just going to sit there and watch unless someone's life is on hand. brian: so she spoke yesterday on hannity saying, listen, i'm not going. >> i think what was going on with berkeley, it shows how radical the universities are. what you said, yes, i agree with you. they want to squelch conservative speech. but when you have bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, so on and so fourth when they're all saying, oh, get over yourselves, berkeley, we have a first amendment. people have fought and died for the right to free speech. steve: it is a sad day for free speech.
5:10 am
but you know what? berkeley should be ashamed but because the mainstream media doesn't like ann coulter, they're not going to wind up with a negative reaction and the negative coverage that they really do deserve. brian: i think they're getting a lot of blow back. i think they should be embarrassed. steve: she would still be able to go. the chief of police would be able to say ann coulter, come to berkeley today because we're going to be able to protect you. they didn't say that. the standard now is if there's somebody to come to your campus and you don't like them, all you have to do is threaten to protest to shut it down? that's not where school started. ainsley: we asked for your comments. anything is prospective to a liberal when it doesn't perfectly align with their beliefs. brian: gary says this used to be the whole idea of a university, expands minds with provocative thought. now forces you to hate speech. steve: and is a different
5:11 am
point of view provocative nowadays? i would say many of the remarks made by liberal professors are very provocative. brian: but as i mentioned, there's a lot of people out there and bill maher and bernie sanders, they were saying, listen, you have to let her speak. that's why i think this is a tipping point. i think a lot of people are deciding not to go to x university or y college because of the way they act through this. not because they voted for donald trump or didn't vote for donald trump. it's because how they've acted since. steve: let's see what happens going forward. all right. 8:11 in new york city. ainsley: abby's here with some headlines. good morning. >> good morning. guys. i do have a headline starting with a fox news alert and right now second cop killer is barricaded inside of his home 20 hours after gunning down a state trouper 32-year-old in delaware. he was investigating a suspicious vehicle when police say one of the men got out, pushed him to the ground, and opened fire. the killer taking off running

are not september intercepts. the only people with leverage here can convince kim to stop or because they know all the players, they can go and tell somebody to take charge and replace it. we're not going to send a seal team to lift the guy out and put him in a box. steve: we need china. all right. thank you very much for your analysis. as always. it is 8:20 here in new york city. it looks like another inflight fiasco. this time delta taking the heat for booting somebody off a flight. why? we've got the details coming up. plus, are you looking to sell your house? now might be the best time. property man bob massie has a warning. he's next in vegas, baby.
5:21 am
5:22 am
5:24 am
brian: homebuyers out in full force right now. ainsley: and with inventory down nationally by about 6.6%, it's shaping up to be one of the longest sellers markets in a long time. steve: that sounds good if you own a house, and you're trying to unload it. bob massie joins us right now from las vegas. bob, is this the strongest seller's market we've seen in decades, that's good news if you're trying to sell a house, bad news if you're trying to buy a house. >> well, right now in las vegas, there's not much inventory. usually, guys, you want a six-month inventory, right now in las vegas is only three months, which is not good. so now you have bidders on these homes, the older homes that have been built in development, so it's a bidding war, and we saw that years ago. we're back to where that is right now because there's no inventory.
5:25 am
brian: that worries you? >> well, it worries me, brian, because, again, the prices are inflated because of supply and demand. so if you want to buy right now, brian, you may end up overpaying because once the inventory opens back up, your price could go back down. so supply and demand is, in fact, affecting the prices of homes. ainsley: are you seeing this pretty much across the map all over the united states? >> pretty much like the places that have been hit, ainsley. vegas, arizona, florida. you get these types of waves and, again, we have a lot of new building going on. so what does that mean? that means there's a new development that's going on while the prices there are going up. so i always said that and those god really loves developers. they really do because between interest rates going down and the fact inventory isn't what it's supposed to be, the prices are going up. i'm not saying that you -- i'm not saying it's not a good time to buy. i'm just saying that the inventory and the lack of the inventory somewhat inflates the price. steve: okay. so what happens?
5:26 am
what's a natural way the real estate business remedies this? >> well, what you hope is that the inventory opens up over time, that there's more homes that go on the market for sale. if you get more homes on the market for sale, there's more inventory, steve. and remember, we're still dealing with some of the things you and i have talked about over the last year, and that's the fact there's still a lot of homes that have been not been foreclosed on, so you have those homes sitting there. so you sort of have this mix bag right now. and in vegas, which, again, i think is a good barometer, it's a good time and exploding. we better get more on the market, because those prices are going to go up. right now it reminds me of '05 and '06 where if you put your house up for 250, you, brian, and i were bidding it up. steve: yeah, but we know how that ended. that ended badly. brian: yeah, that's what gets me worried.
5:27 am
>> i agree. right now i am a little concerned about another bubble. i don't think it would be what it was before. but, again, when i talk to some of the developers, some of the realtors in the area, some friends of mine down in florida, they're sort of cautious, optimistically cautious. a lot of things that the president is doing that you guys talked about today, the tax issues. let me tell you. they lower some of that, they lower some capital gains tax, then a lot of things will explode all over again. so just be careful as a buyer. make sure you don't overbid and understand it just goes in cycles. brian: they did also. but it's not going to happen because we became smarter when it comes to mortgages and eligibility; right? >> i think so. wall street is back in business, insurance is back in business of loaning money. so buyer beware. when you buy a home, you better be able to afford it and don't get bad loans with interest only because that ain't going to work anymore now, kidding. ainsley: bobby, you have to keep watching fox and friends
5:28 am

5:34 am
and he said well, sally, i live in california. and she said what do you do? and he rattled off a list for five minutes because he has had every job, that's what i remember. ainsley: my gosh. i understand we have something on tape. steve: because peter has been -- i've been taking peter to work. they started take a child to work day back in the early '90s. i've been bringing peter to work and his sisters as well, and we put -- actually, peter, i think that you were 7 years old, you did a report for fox news channel on take your child to work day, so we combined that with some of the other stuff. watch this. >> take your child to work day. here at fox news coast to coast and you know what i've done. i brought my kids to work. here's peter ducey and mary ducey. they're going to be network components today. i'm going to do my job. peter, take over. >> we're here to see what our dad does while he's at work. here's our report. >> yeah. >> when we're at home watching him on television, we figure he's real busy, and that's

5:37 am
and cute, and you knew then. brian: did you know at that point that you your whole life knew that you were going to be doing this? >> i didn't. i'm always -- i thought as your kids, thought it was cool to be there. i never really considered it and then today i still think it's the coolest job in the world. but back then, again, we thought dad was a dentist, so the family business. steve: well, one of the things and one of the reasons i think he wound up being so good at what he's doing, and he's doing a great job, is the fact that growing up at our houses, what do you watch every morning? you watch three hours of the fox news channel and fox and friends, so tv watched a lot of. brian: absorbed a lot of television. ainsley: peter, tell us something about your dad. what do you love most about him? >> same thing that everybody else loves about him. just he has always treated my sister and i same as my mom, both my sisters just with the most love that a parent could ever give, and they have set us up as well as anybody could to exceed as adults.

5:52 am
making demands and use emotional extortion. do what i want or i'll take this child from you, and we'll go live under a bridge. steve: yeah, but that's hard for the biological parent and the grandparents too because they have to feel in the heart of hearts maybe some day my kid's going to turn around. >> you can get the rights back. but in the meantime, take the child to the doctor, change schools, do what you need to do. maybe they're on drugs, they're getting in with bad people, come in and take the child in the middle of the night, and you're in trouble. steve: can we see the clip? >> let's do it. brian: let's go. >> we know everywhere you go. okay? you're being followed. >> that means that we know you're involved in the bathhouses. that means we know you're out dealing drugs, we know you're on the back parts of town. >> i'm not going to go up here and be cared anymore. ainsley: it's amazing that a mom would be able to choose drugs over her child. >> well, these parents put a gps on her car and tracked
5:53 am
her, and they could see that she was doing drug runs with the gangs, so they do. there's no way -- now, they did the right thing. they got the parental rights so she could not come in at midnight and say give me money or i'm taking the child. and that's what you have to do to stop the emotional extortion. steve: we'll be watching that on the next episode of dr. phil. meanwhile, we're talking about ann coulter canceled her own speech after being essentially told that the police out in berkeley would not be able to protect her. it looks like, to me, the not so tolerant left is just trying to shut down conservative talk. >> yeah, i'm troubled by that. i'm troubled by either side. look, we have the right -- everybody has the right to protest and do it peacefully. we're guaranteed that right. but if somebody starts doing things, talking about things that you don't like, and you start threatening, you start putting people's lives in danger. come on, the test of the first amendment is that you fight to protect the rights about those to talk about the things you
5:54 am
hate the most. and that's not what's happening here. i'm really bothered by this. and you say why are they doing that? it's just another measure of entitlement. they just feel entitled to shut down people who disagree with them. and i just disagree with that. i just think that's bad whether it's republican, democrat, on whatever. give the people the right to say what they want to say. and if you disagree with it, raise your voice. but let me tell you something. it's not the thunder that makes the flowers grow. it's the rain. you can get out there and yell all you want but at some point you have to have a dialogue, listen, we've been through civil war in this country survived. if we can survive civil war, we can survive trump, we can survive ann coulter. come on. let's see what happens. but shouldn't be threatening somebody's life. steve: dr. phil, thank you very much. we'll be watching today. >> thank you. steve: in the meantime ainsley's daughter is in the house. coming up.
5:56 am
there's nothing more important to me than my vacation. so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah. 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.
