fair, balanced, and unafraid. the fox news specialist will be back at normal times, here's martha with a special interview with the president. >> martha: breaking in the last couple of hours, north korea has fired off another ballistic missile, this like many that came before has failed it crashed into the sea of japan after traveling 25 miles through the air. good evening everybody, welcome to the first 100 days, i martha maccallum. we will continue to monitor these developments throughout the evening but first to day 99 which was spectacular, but day one was cold and gray back in january when the president took the oath of office and spoke of american carnage and rattled the establishment with these words.

>> president trump: washington a florist but the people did not share in its wealth. politicians prospered, but the jobs left, americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, but for too many of our citizens a different reality exists. an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge. we've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our own. >> martha: all themes that have been part of the first 99 days, the president's approval numbers in the mid 40s and while 30 executive orders and 28 bills have been signed into law, 13 of which were bills that were rollbacks from obama era regulations, the big three that he campaigned on, health care, tax reform, and immigration reform has not happened as quickly as he had hoped.

the president does clearly frustrated to some extent with the congress. learning that they will turn it slowly in this town, sees his biggest win so far as outside our borders. earlier today he spoke about both. >> president trump: i think i've developed tremendous relationships throughout the world, that's something that -- we have this artificial barrier called 100 days which i'm not a big fan of. >> martha: you made a pretty good effort to get a lot of things done. >> president trump: it is very much an artificial barrier but a lot of things can't be determined. as an example, i've made a tremendous and created great foundations in terms of relations with china and japan and many, many other countries. you are saying yourself on the show the other night there's never been relationship like we've had with china, look at what they're doing, they are putting a lot of pressure on

north korea. i really like president presid. it might be a much difficult ending, to be honest, but he's trying. he's a friend of mine and i really like him a lot. we'll see what happens, but i've set the foundations for a lot of great relationships in the future. i have tremendous feelings for a lot of the people running the countries of this world. that's a good thing, you don't measure that in the first 100 days but those foundations have been set in the first 100 days. getting a supreme court justice, a great one, i think you'll be a great one. getting him not only nominated but approved in the first 100 days it hasn't been done since 1881. it's going to be something real special. every time there is a 5-4 decision in favor of what our

views are and this is for the next 30 or 40 years potentially, you can say that you had a major part in it. i've always said had to bring a supreme court justice, getting supreme court justices confirmed. i could have others, we'll see what happens. getting justice gore such confirmed was to me a very big thing and it will be a very big thing in the future. >> martha: you are a long time, no republican president of the united states, people say president trump isn't an ideologue, how would you describe your political philosophy? >> president trump: i think i'm a person of common sense more than anything else. i was a democrat, i lived in manhattan. i started in queens with my parents and when i started doing better and better deals, i moved

into manhattan, things are not exactly flourishing. i started off as a democrat like ronald reagan was also a democrat. over the years, your views it just changes somewhat. i think more than anything else on my person of common sense. i understand what has to be done, i get things done i've always been a closer. we don't have a lot of closers in politics and i understand why. it's a very rough system, it's an archaic system. you look at the rules of the senate, even the rules of the house, it's really a bad thing for the country in my opinion. archaic rules. maybe at some point you were going to have to take those rules on for the good of the nation things will have to be different. you can't go through process like this. it's not fair, it forces you to make bad decisions. you're forced into doing things that you would normally not do except for these archaic rules.

>> martha: like what, how would you change them? >> president trump: you look at the voting a new look at the filibuster system. it used to be i always thought of filibuster you stand up and you talk all day. >> martha: you don't have to do that anymore. >> president trump: you say filibuster guys sit home and watch television and whatever they do. i think the filibuster concept is not a good concept to start out with. if you're going to filibuster, let somebody stand up for 20 hours and talk and do what they have to do, even if they are reading comic books to everybody, let them do it. with so many bad concepts in our rules it's forcing bad decision decisions, i've seen it over the years. when bad decisions are made, decisions that nobody wanted are made because of archaic rules, i think that's something i think we're going to have to change. >> martha: you really try to make a lot of moves to shrink the size of government, to shrink the size of the

bureaucracy. but people say why not be concerned about the deficit? why allow it to balloon with this tax reform. why not touch entitlements. unless you do that, you're not really ever going to take a bite out of the spending. >> president trump: i'm not touching social security other than fraud, waste, and abuse. i will tell you this, look. we just put in a great tax proposal, the economy is going to boom and you will see that. it will take a period of time and he will have some deficits in the meantime it's called priming the pump, you have to prime the pump. the numbers just came out yesterday. 1.6 gdp last year under president obama. 1.6%, that is a horrible number. i call up leaders of the countries because i'm so friendly with so many leaders like i said and i say how are you doing? "we are not doing well, we are not doing well, we are very upset. gdp is 8%. gdp is seven, gdp is 11.

"here we are at essentially 1% of gdp and were supposed to be happy about it? we have to prime the pump. a lot of other things are happening. were going to be doing trade bills you see what's happening with all the trade deals which are just horrible we have a lot of money pouring into our country you wouldn't get gdp from the 1% quote 1.5% i say for because i really believe it. we say 3% but i say four. >> martha: for buy one? >> president trump: over the next few years. there is no reason we shouldn't be able to get at some point into the future to five and above. we need better trade deals, we lose a fortune with every country. i've been talking about china for years. i speak nicely about china because i believe they're trying to help out with respects to north korea but the trade deficit with china is hundreds of billions of dollars.

the trade deficit with mexico as close to $70 billion, even with candidates $17 billion trade deficit with canada. the lumber pouring into our country, all of the things coming in from canada, it's not reciprocal. the word i like to use is reciprocal. if we had a reciprocal nature to our trade deals it would be a whole different ball game, but that's very unfair. and we never, ever seem to have a surplus with countries. it's not good happen anymore. >> martha: in terms of legislation your courtesy everywhere on saturday there's no major legislation passed in the first 100 days. >> president trump: that's wrong, we had a 28 bills. i was with a reporter the other day, was of the same thing you didn't pass anything. no, we passed 28 bills, these are bills passed by the

legislature. i'm not talking about executive orders which are equally as important. we talk about the bills passed we could have 32 with the next two days. this reporter said i don't believe it. they went back and checked, you actually passed -- >> martha: you are right. tax reform, health care, immigration reform? >> >> president trump: were doig well on them. >> martha: my question for you is on congress, you said i'm doing great deals on congress, are you disappointed with how the republicans have handled the big issues. there was a suggestion it might happen today but now it's not going to happen. >> president trump: i'm disappointed it doesn't go quicker. i like them a lot, i have great relationships, must of them i don't even know. many of them, like the freedom caucus came, we love our president were doing this for our president, you look at the

moderates, they have different views. i have a party that's coming to a lot of territory, they have different views, i'm disappointed. paul ryan is trying very, very hard. i think everybody is trying very hard. it's a very tough system. we are with obstructionists. i don't have one the democratic vote. obamacare is exploding, obamacare is dead essentially it's dead is not going to make it. i went to tennessee two weeks ago, half the states don't have any insurance companies. it's a disaster in terms of the insurance companies are all going to be pulling out. many, many states you don't have insurance companies, obama obae is dead, the democrats know it. because of the hard time republicans have had getting their hands around this thing which shouldn't be because i want said it's complicated it's

not complicated compared to other things being complicated it's not that hard. i was disappointed they didn't have more in line by time they walked in. but obamacare took 17 months of brutality to get approved. they ended up giving nebraska the nebraska deal, frankly that senator wasn't even that popular made one of the best deals, what they did for the state of nebraska. i will tell you this, i will tell you commits took 17 months to get obamacare approved. what we're talking about is far better than obamacare, it's an incredible bill. we have a good shot of getting it approved by the house. 100 days it don't worry about it, you don't have to take the boat today, -- >> martha: i want to know about the leadership of this, after the first health care bill does not pass you said i have complete confidence in paul ryan. do you still have complete confidence that he can get these

moderates on board with the house freedom caucus because you've got to get everybody up on the raft. >> president trump: he's a good man is under tremendous amount of pressure. i do have confidence in him, i have confidence in the freedom caucus people, mark meadows and jim jordan and all of the different -- all of the different guys. i have confidence in them, i have great confidence in the moderates. these are great, great people, martha mcsorley. she flew jet fighters, she told me more about jets. they're all great people. >> martha: they're going to get it done. >> president trump: i believe are going to get it done. it >> martha: time frame? >> president trump: next week. it's very interesting, they're getting together and they never had a government, they always had obama and they didn't have the senate. they always could vote no and do whatever they want to do, nobody cared. it didn't matter. all of a sudden, we're governin governing. i told him, we are now covering.

>> martha: a lot of people said they had all these years to put these bills together. >> president trump: it's a culture shock for them, didn't matter if they voted yes or no because obama was good to reject it anyway. they wouldn't get it through the senate. >> martha: maybe they didn't know you were going to win so they weren't ready. >> president trump: some of them knew i was going to win because they saw the crowds. i had great support for both groups. these are great people, they have different views but their views are coming together. i think you're going to see, they are now starting to govern. it's a big difference. whether it's freedom or the moderates, they could always vote no. they knew the senate was going to reject it because they didn't have the senate and even if something happened in the senate, obama was good to be told, now what matters. >> president trump: >> martha: e member of congress who said the president's approval numbers are in the high 40s, i'm not necessarily going to bend to his will on tax reform and health care, i might lose my own election at home, even have the numbers to make it important for

them to come along with you? >> president trump: approval is in the high 40s, every network that you see with the exception of fox, fox has been fair. every network that you see hits me on every topic, made up stories like russia, i caught the fake russia story. russia story was made up because they were embarrassed by their loss. they had a tremendous loss, a loss like nobody has ever seen before. the democrats should never lose the electoral college because they automatically start with new york, california, and illinois. it's impossible for republican to win. not only did i won i won easily. they made up this russia thing to try and deflect because they're embarrassed by what happened. all you see is the russia story, you see all of these other phony stories. it's so bad for me to have a great approval records in light of all the faux press and the

fake press i think is amazing. i will say this, we had a case where i got involved the last few days in atlanta, i'm going there today he looked like he was going to win he had about 56% of the vote, we have no way democratic congressman. i did a robo call, i did some tweets, i did some interviews, he didn't get the number and i believe she's going to win, and might might win very easily, i'm involved in other congressional races i think i'm going to win. >> martha: the president making the argument that he has had a positive impact in the elections were supposed to watch. in part two, wait to hear who he believes is to blame for the general flynn controversy. why he thinks his new tax reform will work without touching social security, will see hope the president answers this question as well. you ever think it may be one term will be enough?

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. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. clearer skin is possible.

>> martha: we are back in the russia investigation has cast a long shadow over the first 100 days particularly when it comes to former national security advisor michael flynn. that is where we pick up a question from the second part of our interview today, our sit

down with president trump. >> president trump: you look at other networks all i do is get hit all the time. by the way, falsely. i don't mind getting hit legitimately. >> martha: is not going anywhere as you know. that story has a lot of avenues to it and the most recent one comes back to michael flynn. when he left and when he resigned he said he was treated horribly and that you felt badly about that. given what we now are saying on the payments from turkey and russia, would you stand by that comment? >> president trump: i do feel badly for him, he served the country, he was a general. he was approved by the obama administration at the highest level. when they say we did in fact, obama didn't bet. he was approved at the highest level of security by the obama administration. when he came into our administration for a short period of time, he was already approved by the obama

administration, he had years left on that approval. if somebody is approved at the absolute highest level by the obama or a previous administration, does anybody ever ask about them? does anybody ask about why bill clinton was paid a fortune to make speeches in russia? does anybody ever ask about podesta having a company with his brother and russia? does anybody ever ask why the fbi would not check on the server when somebody hacked their server? they tried to hack to the rnc too at but we had good defense. they could attack us. does anybody ask why is it that podesta had a company in russia with his brother? they don't mention that, they should mention it don't don't. >> martha: i'll move on to it a couple other quick thing, i know we're short on time. have a huge that small businesses would also be enjoyed by hedge funds and also by real estate companies. it is not good to make it

tougher for you to get that big cut through the tax companies. >> president trump: the highest tax nation in the world are business taxes are through the roof and were not competitive and companies are leaving. were going to break companies back, we're going to lower taxes and the biggest beneficiaries of the small companies are middle income people who have really been hurt. their taxes are going down to 10%. the president of goldman sachs, never made a bad deal. these are very smart guys but i said fellas, you keep forgetting to mention, i'm the one that did this to a large extent. you keep forgetting of the biggest beneficiaries of the middle-class people have been absently hurt. >> martha: your critics are going to say real estate companies like president trump companies will benefit along. is it going to make it harder for you to get that big cut in the middle? >> president trump: if i'm individually paying 35%, i will

tell you that's more, i'm good at that paying more than i pay right now in taxes. i will pay more than i pay right now. i lose all the deductions. they have deductions on top of the deductions, they have hundreds and hundreds of pages. things that you never heard of before, i have great accounting firms, i'm sure you do. you're entitled deduction for geese fighting over america, you're entitled to this, you're entitled -- by the time they give you all deductions, all that stuff goes away. other than charitable deductions which we think is important to keep and interest deductions which we think is important to keep. all of the stuff goes away. i predict i will probably play more than i'm paying right now. >> martha: your life has changed completely after election day, how would you say the presidency has changed you? >> president trump: i didn't have much privacy but now i have

no privacy. i said to somebody the other day i love driving cars. a great event is getting into a car and driving someplace, i can't do that anymore. i haven't been able to do that really since the primaries when you go to number one in the primaries all of a sudden you get secret service. it's been a long time, certain things in life that you miss. you are in a cocoon and if there are amazing people, the secret service, but you can't go very far. >> martha: do you ever think you may be one term would be enough of this kind of life? >> president trump: i want to see how were doing. i hope that we do so well able to easily and nicely and enjoy the fruits of what we did maybe it takes a little bit longer but i think we're doing tremendously well. i don't think anybody has ever done this much and 100 days. i've always said it's going to be eight years, not for years. >> martha: personal question for you what you're going back to new york.

i'm surprised you haven't been back to new york yet since he became president. >> president trump: i'll break this on the show, i love new york. going back is very expensive for the country because they close up fifth avenue and they close up 56 straight, i live in trump tower which is right smack -- great location -- in the middle of everything. i always feel a little bit guilty when i go there. if i go to as an example i have a lot of property. if i go to one of my clubs in new jersey, they will say i'm going to play golf, i couldn't care less about golf. i have a place there. that costs almost nothing because it's hundreds of acres in security and they don't have to close up streets et cetera et cetera. i like to do that as much as possible the problem is every time i go to a club i'm out there having fun, i don't have fun. when i go to a club i'm working. i played golf with ernie elson the prime minister of japan that was such a great day and we

bonded because of that and bringing him along, the great golfer, great champion, he'll never forget the day we had a great time. i feel guilty when i go back to europe because i hate to see the new yorkers with the streets closed and i've been there because i've been there when presidents come to the city. they close up the entire midtown section of manhattan. i don't know if it's all necessary, so i go back as little as possible because it's expensive et cetera, it would be much better, people would understand that i could go other places, then they hit me for relaxing and i don't want to be known as a person who relaxes because i'm working hard and i'm working hard for the people and were doing a great job. >> martha: you looking forward to have the first lady and your son will be here soon? >> president trump: they're going to move right as soon as he's finished with school to washington. if >> martha: you very much.

there you have it, my interview his plans to roll back regulations to economic growth has been a big push. they do away with a lot of obama era regulations, they join us next, stick around. my question for you is about congress, when you're running, you said i'm going to do great deals with congress, i have a great relationship on capitol hill, are you disappointed with how republicans have handled these big issues?

>> martha: breaking tonight, just heard from president trump defending his legislative agenda, talking about the 28 bills that he has passed and a promising a resolution of the bigger ticket item in the weeks and months to come. for a closer look look at whate just heard plus where the administration may go from here, let's turn to chris stirewalt, marie hart and mark fuson, american enterprise chief scholar, they are all full fox news contributors, welcome everybody. it's always interesting and there is always sort of a million places you want to go but when you are with the president you just sort of end up going in different directions sometimes. when you talk about it, i wanted your thoughts on the michael flynn question.

stuck up for them to a certain extent but he said we can't be blamed for not venting him properly. >> i'll let maria take that football because i bet she has a lot that she would like to say about that. donald trump was warned repeatedly about michael flynn by people who were around him who said to the sky is bad news you don't want to do this. and it flynn, we have to put this in the right context. at a time when no one with a reputation like flynn's or the stand within 50 yards of the host of the "celebrity apprentice," this guy's a joke, here's a guy who was a serious operator inside the national security community and he picks trump and was with him. trump was loyal with him up and to the point of doing considerable damage to the young administration. >> martha: we have to remember president obama fired mike flynn of gross mismanagement of the intelligence agency, so there were career officials in the

obama administration who -- >> martha: a lot of that has to do with the fact that they disagreed on the way that the war was being handled. mike flynn would have been much more aggressive. it wasn't that he was not buying enough paperclips, he was a lousy manager, it was they had a philosophical disagreement on how to handle the war, how to pursue the war and the other point i would make is he was abetted by the obama administration, correct? >> how you just described it as hell flynn to try to spin getting fired. a lot of nonpartisan folks at the defense department have said when he came to dia he was a bad manager. it had nothing to do with ideology. i think many of us have had a security clearance, those are conducted, we can get you anything now. [laughter] >> hard pass. >> those security clearance forms are processed by career

security officers, he was abetted by the folks that do everyone, if mike flynn lied on his forms, he's in real serious trouble. there should be higher standard standards. chris is exactly right, he should have been feted to national security visor not just what he put on his fs 86 form but by the fact that he had a very openly embraced vladimir putin. you don't need a security form to know that's a little shady. >> in defense of what you said, this is a guy at dia who warned barack obama explicitly in an intelligence report that was sent to the white house that if you withdraw from a rack and pull all of our troops out, isis moves into syria, moves back into a rock, take over most will, take over all of these cities and barack obama didn't want to hear it. i don't think it's fair to say he was just fired because he was a bad manager, it's not listening to intelligence community. >> the rules say you have to

update your security clearance every five years and you have ever step out before you get back in the poll you have to get prevented that simple for everyone regardless. >> martha: a number of things you touched on have to do with that fact. carried over to the first 100 days as president trump when the media for his liking approval numbers. molly hemingway and richard fowler are on whether the president has legitimate rate with that. >> president trump: i have approval in the high 40s, every network you see hits me on every topic, made up stories like russia. they do the russia, the full russia, the fake russia story we cut the price of trades to give investors even more value. and at $4.95, you can trade with a clear advantage. fidelity, where smarter investors will always be. adult 7+ promotes alertness and mental sharpness in dogs

they do the russia, the full russia i called the fake russia story. the russia story was made up because they were embarrassed because of their loss. you see all of these other phony stories. it's so bad and for me to have great approval records in light of all the faux press and fake press is i think is amazing. >> martha: president trump with our exclusive interview saying that the media's obsession is the driving force behind his approval rating for the first 100 days. host of media buzz on fnc, molly hemingway senior editor at the federalist and richard fowler, sr., fellow at the council, the reason that his numbers are lower than president obama's were at this point than president bush's were at this point is that the media hits him so hard that it weighs on them. >> every president faces a

learning curve and they do think that networks view this president with disdain. i have to say no president in our lifetimes has been subjected to such a relentless barrage of negative coverage in a bitterly hostile commentary and personal ridicule commits not just ideological, many journalists and some are being fair have a visceral disdain of her donald trump. i guy they said would never win. he has a different style, he is talking, tweeting, working out his positions in public, that is in contrast to the calibrated leg which of most politicians. >> i have to wonder because we did three different town halls, wanted to talk to voters and see how they are feeling now and test the support whether it was waiting or not. those are just three rooms full of people. in every case when i ask people to raise their hand if they are still very enthusiastic or happy but with concerns or disappointed, in most cases, the room all the hands went up

saying that they were enthusiastic it makes me wonder to some extent are these numbers accurately reflecting the enthusiasm for the president or not? >> it's good to remember that he was elected without having high approval ratings. i would almost say the numbers are as low as they are despite the media coverage being so hostile. i think for many people the hostility of the media was something that drew them to donald trump and if you want to see low approval numbers you look at media approval numbers. you have particularly republicans but both sides of the aisle report they have very little trust of the media to tell a story accurately per the fact that the media has been so hostile to them i don't think that's hurting them all together much. >> i think it's helping him with his base, they have their trump bumper sticker on, the media hate helped him immensely. i think if you talk to the general american public. i think they're lukewarm on donald trump. i think the reason why they're lukewarm on him is not because of the media because of white house missteps. starting from day one when he

started arguing about his crowded sized to the failure of the health care act, two this week saying were going to pass all these bills in the first 100 days, we don't care about the first 100 days all of that has played into everyday american saying i'm not so sure. >> martha: it's interesting you look at these special elections that we've had, there's been a lot of discussion about whether democrats could make some ground there, they haven't. i asked to the present about that. whether or not he felt like he was getting support of congressmen who his help because of these poll numbers. his claim was i am helping them and they are doing okay and it's working, what do you think? >> is more important than his 45% approval rating is that he has a 48% disapproval rating. if he weren't underwater on that, he could be using his bully pulpit tomorrow. it's early on and it is helping. he did win the kansas election, i think georgia will probably go in republicans favor as well. >> the president took a shot of house republicans in your interview it's not a governing party at that is hurting him. a lack of a major bill getting through.

i have to say also, there have been missteps, every new president has missteps, jfk had the bay of pigs. for all of our efforts to fact-check this president, our collective credibility has suffered so much in recent years particularly in a trump era that half the country that support its donald trump doesn't believe just about anything we say and when we attack him it helps him. does not extend to democrats and independents? to some extent. i still think that everybody hates us so were a big effect target, are we fake news all the time? no, that's overstated. we are struggling in our own credibility as we try to cover this president. >> martha: you have to wonder about these poll numbers. after what we saw in the last election question whether or not they are truly reflective. i don't know the answer to that much during the election it was apparent that a lot of people that were trump supporters had disdain for polling organizations that they didn't want to talk to them. they didn't answer their calls.

puts her feel richard? >> my thought on this, polls are polls. but you look at what's happening and it looks like a barometer of what this president is paid one politicians don't want to stand with you when you have a battle between the tuesday group, the charlie dent's of the world, the freedom caucus and they can't come together when you guys are the ruling party, that speaks to the fact that you don't have enough power to get your own members to do what you want them to do. >> the present ran against the republican establishment he's almost like an independent president that's what's making it hard to pull the two different wings of the party together. >> the problem is the media is making everything a problem with her to take them seriously on everything. everything goes to 11. >> martha: thank you very much, as we close in on the first big mile marker of a trump ministry should we take a look back to where we may go from here, mercedes schlapp, been following the ups and downs of the first 100 days and are there to give out the last report card grades tonight, stick around for

our political experts give their final grades on the first 100 days, mercedes schlapp, and chris wallace and henry hartz. are you definitely going to run again because he's talked this week about the bubble about the cocoon, about the frustrations of the job. he said you know i'm pretty sure will run again. what did you make of that? >> i would caution him on one point. don't let your reelection hamper your first term. that is a thing that happens when you are too focused on the reelect you can't be yourself. >> martha: does anything make you feel like he is at this point what's mark >> not yet. the rallies in these things having a conscious selection, a conscious plan for reelection is fine. if you find that the choices you

make in, you're not going to do as good of a job but it might cost you. >> martha: i thought it was an interesting move this week with wisconsin dairy farmers it was so big it made me think about that. some of the things that would be positives for people who voted for him a last time around, but they also work with his agenda or what he's doing right now. let's get some grades. let's start with you, things are not looking up in your opinion. >> no, i gave him a b for the first 100 days. with some incompletes. he outlined a very specific agenda that he wanted to get done in his first 100 days during the campaign, repeal and replace obamacare, build the wall. the list goes on. on that list, he hasn't had a lot of big successes. neil gore such as probably the biggest for sure, that is an item fulfilled. on foreign policy we haven't seen a detailed policy agenda,

he's failed spectacularly to do obamacare repeal and replace, they may still get it done. that's still in the incomplete category. tax reform keeps getting pushed back, infrastructure isn't anywhere on the horizon. >> martha: i wouldn't say it's getting pushback. >> will see what gets done before 2018. >> martha: first of all, the ones who deserve a d or an f grade are the democrats for resisting every single move are president trump to be realistic. >> a- . >> you all can laugh but i could tell you those people out there, those people in the middle of america, we've seen progress on economic growth on his plan of pushing for a tax reform bill and talking to congress as well. then you have on the other hand a foreign policy, i think he's shown a strength especially when it comes to issue of taking down

isis of responding to syria were present obama failed to bridge where he gets the minas as was a rough start. it has been difficult dealing with his own party members infighting between a centrists and between conservatives. >> martha: the dow is up 14% the nasdaq is up 16% of theirs as a part of the positive markm the market. >> he gets to see in my book, the point of 100 days is to make congress passed legislation. >> franklin roosevelt initiated the congress move. he did not make congress move, that didn't happen. that's bad. to the good, look at him learn. look at him a guy who had never been in public life before. a guy who obviously everything that went into present united states. you saw him reflected at the interview with you parrot he is learning, just as he learned as a candidate, he is learning as

president as this goes. the democrats better be careful. this guy is going to speak up on them. >> martha: that was the sense that i had today there was a little more assurance in the comfort and white house than there was when we first went there a month ago. thanks, very interesting to talk to you all will be right back with more after this.
