kosovo, and that too got three votes. that shows you the majority of the international community is with us. >> neil: karen pierce, thank you very much. that will do it. >> i am jesse watters with kennedy, juan williams, dana perino, antivirus. it's 5:00 in new york city, this is "the five" ." a lot of breaking news out of washington. the fbi finally tells disgraced anti-trump official peter strzok, you're fired. the former agent played a lead role in the russia and hillary clinton email investigations. omarosa is continuing her tax on the white house after making --

>> john kelly is running this white house. donald trump has no clue what's going on. >> jesse: the president is firing back on twitter. "wacky omarosa, who got fired 3 times on "the apprentice," now got fired for the last time. she never made it, never will. she begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, i said ok. people in the white house hated her. she was vicious, but not smart. omarosa is bobbing by doubling down on her attacks. >> it's sad with all the things going on in the country that he would take time out to insult me and insult my intelligence. this is his pattern with african-americans. he has no impulse control. it sad to watch and become unhinged. >> jesse: many of the white house shocked that omarosa recorded private conversations. sean spicer is blasting the move.

>> when she left, she said great things about the president. the first time she has to make money off of him again, she says quite the opposite. the idea she brought a personal recording device into the situation room, it says all you need to know about omarosa. she will do anything to further her own being as opposed to holding the security protocols. >> jesse: we will get to peter strzok and a second but tell me about the level of severity, to go into a situation room and secretly record the chief of staff. what does that tell you? >> dana: it's outrageous. i wrote a piece on foxnews.com today in which i said even if she didn't think the president of the united states of america deserved better than this, certainly the american people d do. it was our entire national security at risk. i don't know how russians get into this phone, but they do. it's why you have lockers outside of the situation room. there must've been enough

concern. remember the stories about the white house, being told you know longer can bring personal devices into the white house. you had to leave them in your car or leave them at all. there must have been more concerned about her. the weather has been quite restrained talking about the reasons for her departure. i was shocked that she had a recording in the situation room. i also think that it was wrong to air it. i don't think we should encourage any of this. the strange thing for me is just about how quickly this book will go away. it will be forgotten in three weeks. i learned that about one a book came out during the bush administration. it was upsetting to me. the book was horrible to me it was disloyal. but it was gone within three weeks. you don't almanac? president bush. he said don't worry about it. let it go. it's irrelevant. for the people in the white house who feel betrayed, just know that it will go away. she looks terrible for doing this, and i'm sorry that it happened to all of us. i think what she did was not

just to the president but to the american people. >> jesse: what do you think about her credibility, juan? she was savagely attacked by the media when he was at the trump white house and now she's coming up with this explosive tell all, a backstabbing book, some would say. they are giving her a big platform and listening to what she has to say. >> juan: to me, the news is when he hired her. he says i'm going to hire the best people. that's what he said way back. >> jesse: the best except for her. >> juan: is that what he said? he said is going to hire the best people think lots of people had questions about her credibility. all that she is known for his being on "the apprentice" and being a reality show villain. now the white house as she was a great things. that's what the tweet said. she was saying great things, so i heard her. as long as she said great things about me, she was cool. then she stopped saying good things now she's wacky and her intelligence, like other black people, is to be questioned. the issue here for me, jesse, i

didn't know about the nondisclosure agreement. $15,000 a month. apparently it's true. when you leave the white house, they give you a job in the upcoming campaign, 2020 campaign, but you have to sign a deal that says you can't talk about what happened in the white house. what struck me as you go back to people like tillerson, mcmahon, and others. they say this white house is pretty chaotic. the michael wolff book. pretty chaotic. she is saying that the white house is chaotic, backstabbing. that's why she was taping people. i disagree with dana. if you go into the situation room and there is actual national security to discuss, yeah, you would be in violation. what happened here was general kelly took her in here just as a private space and have a conversation with her with nobody else. so i don't know. >> jesse: we are going to be hearing for the president who will be speaking live any minute

now. before we get there, kennedy, what do you think of omarosa? >> kennedy: i have known her for years. i was fortunate enough to interview her when she was climbing her way to the top of the precious and gilded reality tv ladder. i think the president's loyalty may be his biggest achilles' heel, to be completely honest. you look at what you might've done within the administration, she wasn't exactly nikki haley. what it shows, and dana can speak to this. this is for future white house hires and this is really a good warning for anyone in an administrative position is going to hire someone in the future. welcome to the future. imagine how might this end. look at someone like homero said. it was never going to end well. this was never going to be the kind of exit. that was quiet and graceful. i think general kelly did the best he could. and tyrus was saying we've had conversations like this. i wish i'd had some conversations that were as

gentle as that one. >> jesse: the president, as kennedy mentioned, has been burned by being such a loyal person to a fault. look what happened with senator sessions. he rewarded him with the ag job because he was there for senator to address, now he is very dissatisfied with hisanyon. omarosa is the unifier. she is literally the most despised person in the free world, okay? we didn't like her when she said good things. you could argue about anything you want but you could agree we don't like her. no one ever liked her. her book, do not waste your time. i can think of a much better book to buy. even after you buy this on, you could get this one. or buy them together. omarosa is the worst human being. there is no loyalty. all she cares about is the camera. trump's mistake but i'm gonna say i loved him on the phone.

phenomenal. what? damn. i can't believe that happened. i'm pretty sure he was like this. >> jesse: so the word, i guess we heard it. the president acted like he didn't know that she had been fired. this >> tyrus: did you believe it? >> jesse: did i believe what? >> tyrus: that she didn't know. >> jesse: i think he wants to get out on a good foot with her. of course he knew. >> tyrus: i have been fired a lot. i got most calls. i run into an old boss. >> jesse: that's what bosses do. >> kennedy: normally there is a good cop-bad cop. the former secretary of state rex tillerson in the present on north korea. the funny thing here, she is such a nut, it had to be good

cop-good cop. >> jesse: we have the news that peter strzok is been fired, terminated for abusing his position at the fbi. we are going to have an ig report out soon, dana, that we believe is going to lay out some of the things he did in his official capacity during the trump-russia investigation which he himself personally launched. why did it take so long, do you think? >> dana: i think because investigations, if they are going to be thorough, take a little bit of time. the government takes more time than you would want but the ig has a good reputation among republicans and democrats, has a lot of integrity. to get to this result. i do think it does mean you could look at the civil service laws and imagine there could be some changes made there. does it take too long to adjudicate these cases? does he have an appeal process he could go to? the one thing we don't want and

no american should want is for civil servants to be fired because of local pressure. that's not good for us as americans. it's not good for whoever is in charge at the white house, republican or democrat. there really are reasons we hae safeguards. >> juan: he is so senior, he doesn't have a lot of recourse. the question is exactly right. is he being fired to appease the trump white house because they are angry at him? i notice in the stories today, there is no reason given for his firing. i noted in the ig report at said he obviously had these tweets in which he said he didn't like trump. but with the ig report said was that there was no evidence that his dislike for trump affected his job. >> kennedy: that's not true. the ig report affected the ultimate conclusion of prosecutors, not just peter strzok. the ig went before congress and senate it's extremely problematic. there were so many lies, so much information withheld including

some of those critical text messages. the ig said before congress we are going to look further. i have a feeling -- >> jesse: i predict peter strzok will land a very lucrative gig. >> tyrus: he will be on cnn. here's the thing. he should have resigned. the investigation. it was completely inappropriate, regardless of his beliefs, the fact we saw those things. he can no longer be impartial. if he came messing with me, i would think he is coming to me because i'm independent. >> kennedy: why hold on to him? >> juan: i think if the ig comes back and says here's evidence he did something. the ig report concludes that strzok did nothing -- >> kennedy: there was further investigation taking place. >> jesse: strzok and omarosa, two villains finally out.

new york poster fox news exist? >> it's a free country. i am saying because they exist, we've changed for the worst. >> juan: jesse, are you going to stick up for nbc or are you going to say they went after trump too. >> jesse: here's how nbc operates. the media all does the same thing. they find a story and seize on it and try to exploit it for partisan gain. for instance, i don't think people act nbc necessary like pelosi, so they are trying to create a little bit of an anti-pelosi wave. this is all they do it. they will call every slow democrat in congress and put them on the spot in an official capacity and say listen, are you going to vote for a speaker? then they will call every democratic nominee. they will call the staff of the democrats in congress. will you vote? then they will run a poll and do a few deep dives and something pieces come an end then they will may be poke the opponent and then have a debate on cnn. they foster this crazy scrum that then forces the hand of

politicians. they could have done this with dianne feinstein. she had a mall from china working for over 20 years. they could've asked every senator on that republican and democrat side, do you condemn this? do you feel comfortable with her? they could've asked her opponents in california. they can foster these types of -- the momentum to have people apologize or step down, and when they choose a target, they are relentless. >> juan: this is a democrat. trump says nbc fake news come all that. now they're going after pelosi. so kennedy, how to make sense of it? >> kennedy: i think you see the president talking about fake news and he gets very frustrated that some of these big outlets like the failing euro times are coming after him and they are quite relentless. i think what this does is the competing biases and give other. this is a spot of good news for the press, which has been painted so partisan and so

anti-trump. "the new york times" went after hillary and a number of ways. one of the entities she blamed for her failure and her loss, her own likability. that would have been rich. she blamed "the new york times." it's one of those things where instead of taking personal responsibility and doing some thorough examination of your political life and the way people perceive you, it's much easier to blame someone else. like nbc, which has always been very left friendly. the funny thing is, this is the one issue where republicans and far left progressives can agree. none of them like nancy pelosi. and she is a great campaign tool for all of them. >> juan: dana, is it a matter of an adversarial press angering our politicians? >> dana: where in the world would she get the idea for going after the press works? we have learned that. but it's also, nbc is going where the stories. however the leaders, the other one was going to get attacked. the two main people that are

being attacked from the right or left in this year's midterm elections is president trump and nancy pelosi. because there is no democrat equivalent until 2020 of president trump. she is going to take all the heat. this was true for tom daschle, harry reid, mitch mcconnell, speaker banner, paul ryan. this is normal. and that's also whether controversy is. i think they're following the story. there is a piece of national review today. as it was coming out of my mouth, i was like, jesse's gonna roll his eyes. he says he thinks perhaps the democrats might have a november -- october surprise, excuse me. that they will pull nancy pelosi from any consideration for leadership so that the democrats have a better chance of beating republicans in november. don't know if it's true. just passing a long john's idea. >> juan: the press going after all these people at the top. >> tyrus: a 20 year mole,

that's pretty good. that's a lot of recordings. i always equate things, my brain always thinks sports. if my gm, if we have a losing season for a decade, it's probably time for the gm to go. if the fans will do it because they love them, democrats just don't ever seem to want to make an aggressive move. >> jesse: unless you are cleveland. >> tyrus: unless you're cleveland. let's say maybe nbc's little bit to the left and they might want to use their platform committee get that horrible gm out. so they start early now. maybe one of the players will get up and say i will take that job. it's a great idea. it's more they are trying to ignore the basin trying to ignite the party, do something. just assuming there is a wave coming but there is no thunder or lightning or rain to build u up. it's more like if she won't go on her own, we have to do it ourselves. >> kennedy: doing the same

thing with hillary clinton. their insurance policies to make sure she doesn't run again. he can't claim the democrat establishment or mainstream media is sexist because they've fallen all over themselves falling in love with alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> dana: so have we. we go to the story. where's the story? she's new. the energy, tom perez, head of the dnc, says she's the future of the democratic party. like, really? okay. we will check it out, and will run all the clips and see it. if you are in the news business, you go to where the story is. >> juan: what strikes me is when the stories came out about ryan zinke or scott pruitt. pruitt tried to get his wife a chick-fil-a franchise. >> dana: and there are other things. >> juan: by then they say fake news. i don't get it. is it fake or not? does nbc lean left, lean right? i don't get it. >> jesse: i think it leans left. >> juan: not in this case.

>> kennedy: may be they are so far left. >> juan: should democrats be worried about a new poll showing party voters supported, get this, socialism. we will discuss it on "the five" straight ahead. bold choice, charlie! just tear, eat... mmmmm. and go! try all of my chicken creations! chicken!

>> dana: president trump set to speak any minute now at a fund-raising event in new york in utica new york. i we will bring it to life. meantime, more evidence of democrat moved to the left? democrats use socialism more positive. only 47% view capitalism positively which is lower than any of the previous three measures of the same poll. republicans remain more positive about capitalism and socialism.

tyrus, what is going on? >> tyrus: when you are on the losing team and you can't get started, you can't break the plane, you need something new. so go with socialism. it's new. hasn't been done for a while. you bring a bag. it's like an old movie. you revamp it. we know how those usually turn out. they brought back "death wish" and nobody saw it. the republicans have the econom economy. so we start some new stuff. >> dana: to the democrats have -- >> jesse: i was going to say they have a death wish if they want to go with socialism. if the democrats make the midterm election about socialism versus capitalism, they are going to lose and probably never went back again. i found it refreshing the democrats have come out for socialism because they are not lying to her face. for years, democrats pretended to be moderate. they would get elected and go hard left and voters would kick them out and then forget and reelect democrats. i think a socialist is kind of like a democrat after a few drinks.

you've had a few. you're saying you know what, i want the government to take over everything. you start listening on loosening up. you tell people how you really feel. socialism has never worked and it won't work and it will never work in america. >> dana: obviously were over supervising. socialism, if you look at venezuela, you can see it's a system that does not work. is what the democrats trying to do, talk more about financial anxiety across the country for things like health care in particular that they are trying to figure out a way to reach people and try to understand. the problem is, and i will have your answer this, do they have a problem trying to explain how their version of this would work and how we would pay for it? >> juan: i don't think they label it as socialism per se. remember, they are doing is appealing to exactly what you said, people of concerns about the high cost of prescription drugs or the high cost of

medical care with a high cost of education. so they are talking about here is not venezuela. they are not saying yeah, we support nationalization of major industries or confiscation of someone's wealth. they are saying is we think there should be a social safety net in a time of rising income inequality. people should not be allowed to fall through. that there is a role for the government in terms of saying, and i think of greg was here, he would say with increasing automation, robotics and the like, they're more people going to be pushed out. there's a big data about guaranteed income. >> dana: kennedy, do conservatives have a problem trying to explain how there's a social safety net that does work and that it's better than other systems. >> kennedy: the differences you talk about, a mosquito net or a net to catch jellyfish like spongebob and a circus net that people on the trapeze fall into. vastly different sized nets. it's not a question of people

are well-intentioned and believe those who cannot take care of themselves deserve assistance. anyone would say that. the problem is you are taking it over the means of production and forcing people, redistribute in people's wealth and forcing other people to pay for everyone else's health care. using the false premise that it's expensive. it will be so much less expensive when the government handles that. that's never the case there never safeguards or parameters, and these programs only tend to grow and grow and grow, and once you have on, it's impossible to pull back. i still blame republicans because i think if republicans had come up with a legislative fix, a conference of one for obamacare, we wouldn't be having the conversation about socialism at all. >> juan: what does it tell you that they didn't cop with anything? see five i think it was a gross failure. >> jesse: repeal and replace. [all speaking] >> dana: i maintain they should've done tax reform first. let the economy show what it can

do when it's unleashed, and then have a conversation about repeal and replace. >> kennedy: absolutely right. >> dana: but no one listens. >> tyrus: i listen, and greg says yes. >> jesse: of course he is watching on vacation. >> juan: kennedy, what would you say to our seniors who would say we love social security. government does not write. medicare, government does that right. >> dana: conservatives can say there are programs that work. we can figure out a way to make them work better and last longer. >> kennedy: you have to be bold and brave and not worry about being reelected. but really tackle entitlements, not for seniors, and offer full who are enjoying medicare and social security right now. but for younger generations who should have the opportunity to invest. >> dana: you know when he can do that? in his second term. how did this happen? new security concerns at at airports nationwide after an employee actually steals a plane. details next. from your allergy pills?

♪ >> kennedy: troubling questions about airport security after an employee stole and crashed a commercial airplane in the seattle area friday night. 29-year-old horizon air ground service agent richard russell somehow managed to gain access to an empty airliner and took off, flying in loops. he was chased by military jets before crashing into a small island. he did not survive. investigators now working to determine how he did it, and the incident has heightened worries about gaps in aviation security. jesse, is this a dangerous blueprint for some other unstable soul who perhaps has access to the same, the same kind of access to these aircraft? >> jesse: we are lucky he was a troubled soul incentive that jihadist. can you imagine? he could've flown it right into

the needle in seattle pretty of a small circle of people you can trust these airlines and on the tarmac like that and they go through a lot of vetting and they go through background checks that are very vigilant. you have to be able to trust people. obviously this guy was untrustworthy. there was no way to know that. he went up in the air with no training whatsoever and was doing all sorts of tricks. he did tell air traffic control that he was not a danger to other people, just himself. so the jets they scrambled from the military didn't try to take him out because he wasn't going into a civilian area. they tried to guide him out to see but unfortunately he crashed and killed himself. it's just really scary that he wasn't using this plane as a missile. >> kennedy: air traffic control stayed calm and do whatever -- did with her they could to engage in. they had some fighter jets scrambled. >> dana: if you were sitting in line at the tsa checkpoint and you're trying to get through so you can get on an airplane and you have to take your shoes

off and you have to take that other stuff off, get your liquids out and get all the stuff out and you can't take an apple and all these rules and they have all this stuff and yet somebody who actually works for the airline. nothing is foolproof. i am not saying i don't want the security of the airports. i think we asked our tsa agents to do really difficult work with frustrated customers. but this is dangerous. i don't know how you stop it necessarily. but again, if you see something, say something. that includes the and comfortable feeling sometimes of snitching on one of your coworkers. >> kennedy: his family said we never would have expected this, even some of his friends were interviewed and said that he showed no signs of being troubled or depressed, even though he admitted to air traffic control that he had a few screws loose. >> juan: that's his language. that's what he said about himself. what strikes me is that after 9/11, this is the first time since 9/11 waves in an aircraft stolen, take a nap. those guys on 9/11, they

actually had some pilot training. this guy had no pilots license. he gained accents to the aircraft and you have to know how to move in sequence, the levers, to get the plane started. you have to talk to people and apparently everybody just went along with it. those incredibly maneuvers you were just watching, they are real. that's what he was doing. this is our guy, from all we know, from his family and everyone else, never flew an airplane. then he crashes into the deserted side of a small island. it has about 12 people living on it. i don't think he was out to do any damage. the concern i would have sitting here in new york is wow, post 9/11, this is going on after all the steps we've taken? >> kennedy: the government can protect you from everything, tyrus. >> tyrus: he did tell him he had played some video games, some flight experience. it's funny but it's sad because of the situation. it's very unique situation where

an individual decided this the way he wanted to go. he wasn't trying to involve anybody else. i think he just did, i'm going out in a blaze of glory and he made sure he didn't hurt anybody else. maybe hit the water, may be more comfortable ending, but he ate the wall. i'd tilt -- hit the wall. >> kennedy: not worried about copycats? >> tyrus: anyone who watch that that that would be a fun way to angela, listen to the black box. it was a long horrible death of screaming and crying. it's unfortunate but we have to calm down for a minute and let's not get teams and panels together. find out, here was a guy who said he was at the end of it. he was done. he was tired, many chose to go out on a plane. he didn't go after anybody else. so thank you for that. >> kennedy: do you think they're going to have any other, will there be new rules and

regulations for airport workers? >> dana: i'm sure people were worried about liability, yes, they will be talking about it. >> kennedy: we will be talking about you and have you ever wondered why are feeling so stressed minor on vacation? it's august. a new study finds some surprising answers, which we will reveal next. no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. call one today. are you in good hands? you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

now -- it's dissipating. it's dissipating because that stuff flows. you understand that, it flows? they probably have those little terns, they make the turns of the border, it goes like this, right? and all of a sudden, someday are not going to have that underground may be so much and that's a shame because you could have had no taxes. you could have had the lowest taxes instead of the high taxes. it's sad to see what's happened in new york. i'm thinking of running for governor. but then i decided... [cheering] you remember, right? no, seriously. i was thinking. i said with -- the use of brainpower and common sense, you people could have had a boomtown appear. this could have been boomtown, usa. you have among the richest in the united states of sitting under your landon you don't take it and other people are taking

it, meaning other states are taking it. i said to myself maybe i'm going to consider running for governor very strongly. and then i decided to run for president instead. [cheers and applause] and that worked out. i want to think shell farley. she's got the conservative part party. i have watched you and i know you're really working hard. honestly, on the merits and we should win. i know your opponent very well. she's been up to my office looking for campaign contributions. [laughter] she is very aggressive on contributions, but she's not very aggressive on getting things done. because she hasn't gotten very much done, if anything. has she gotten anything done? one bill.

one bill to rename a post offic post office. you just go in and fight. you may see some big changes. you may see some things happen. they cite in my election. of course, i felt i was going to win. we have these massive crowds and a lot of people traveled with me. there was a certain show on television, and the two people that truly, these were reporters, they truly hated your favorite president. they hated. they were watching a speech. i was making a speech. we had 25, 30,000 people in this massive auditorium, stadium actually. they looked at each other. they just looked, they saw. we believe this? they were not happy. that was the day before, and then the day of the election, they said i guess that's the way it goes. i felt all you had to do was see the enthusiasm. so i can say this, you may surprise a lot of people. you may surprise because people know what's wrong what's going

on. and she is a puppet of schumer. you know that. i have never seen anyone like this, your opponent, your wonderful opponent was the most pro-gun person you've ever seen. the day she got that position, she all of a sudden became anti. if people it. i found it in the campaign against crooked hillary. i found people... i found people. i wanted to. i wish you luck. keep up the good work. you are doing really well. you vote for somebody other than our fantastic claudia, you are voting for higher taxes. they want to raise your taxes. they want to end these massive tax cuts that everyone in this room has gotten that event so

popular that it really made our economy the strong as it's ever been in the history of our nation. this is the strongest economy. with the best jobs market. so they want to raise your taxes. they want to open your borders. you know they want to open borders. they want those borders to be open, so nice and wide, let everybody flow in. they think they're going to be democrats, right? they probably are, may be, who knows? they might not. they want them to come in. that's one of the reasons. i really believe that's one of the reasons because a lot of other reasons don't make a lot of sense, but they want open borders. they don't mind crime because it comes with open borders. they hate i.c.e. because i.c.e. is rough and tough and that's what we need with certain kinds of people. i don't think that ms-13 fully understands the niceties of life. do you think? these people are great people. these are great people but they are strong people, tough people, which is what we need. they don't like law enforcement. they don't want to take care of

law enforcement. they don't take care of our military. they don't want to take care of our fans. other than that, they are fantastic. do you agree with that? other than that. other than that they are wonderful. even to be careful because you do have that big, big gun plant. how far is that down the road? 1 mile down the road. you better be careful because they want to it and your second amendment, they are putting a big move on it. cuomo wants to and your second amendment more than anything. cuomo wants to take away your second amendment. he called me and said i will never run for president against you. but maybe he wants to. please do it. please do it. please. he did say that. the one thing we know, they do say anybody that runs against trump suffers. [cheers and applause]

that's the way it should be. but you know, really we talk about maxine waters and nancy pelosi. maxine waters, the new face of the democratic party. maxine waters. she's a real beauty. maxine. boy, oh, boy. i watch her. crazy maxine. low i.q. person. low i.q. this is really what is steering, to a certain extent, the democrats. she gets up and she wants people to be violent. she wants people to attack. if they happen to be on our side, which is now turning out to be -- don't forget. 306 to 223. that's a big difference. remember? there is no way to do 270. there is a way to 306. i love maine. i needed one and i went up to maine five times.

they said why do you do it. i said i believed the fake news. they said there is no way but i needed one. this is why we have to always assume. i and kept getting the one. i won the one i wanted but i didn't need the one because i got many more than the one. i thought i would do is just do this in little bit different. just read out some of the things we've accomplished because no one has ever accomplished like we've accomplished. look at this. page after page. [applause] and i've been here, right? i've been here for less than two years. i can tell you and they will go and check it. they fact-check. even their fact-checking is wrong. if i am right or if i'm 97.3% right, they will say he's got a pinocchio or he is lying. oh, they are bad people.

look at this. 3.9 million jobs. now it's 4 million jobs created since the election, which nobody would have... here is one that you should use all the time. more americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history. so we have the highest employment in history. think of it. the highest employment in history. manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than three decades. we have created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since my election. you heard we weren't going to do manufacturing anymore, right? i used to say excuse me. i went to the wharton school of finance. i said excuse me, does that mean we are not going to make things anymore? what are we going to do, buy everything from other countries? let them have all the jobs. those with the great jobs. 400,000. going up to 600,000 very quickl

quickly. that's a number that was supposed to go way down and that's going way up. by the way, we have brought back the steel industry. it's one of the hottest industries. i was with two or three people in the steel business. i don't know where they are, but there's a great reception. we appreciate it. a few people in the steel industry was saying how incredible the businesses. they never thought this would happen again. it's become a great industry. steel isn't like other industries. we need steel. we needed for the fence, and we need aluminum which is doing great. economic growth last quarter had 4.1. everybody said the most are going to do is 2. it was 1.2 when i started. 1.2. i'll tell you it was 1.2 and heading south. it was going down. it was regulations that did it initially, and now it's regulations and the big tax cuts. new unemployment claims recently hit, think of that, a 40 year

low. -- 48-year low. african-american unemployment has just achieved the lowest level ever recorded, ever recorded. asian american unemployment rate achieve the lowest level ever recorded. women unemployment rate. really, oh, only 65 years. sorry about that. lowest in 65 years. asian unemployment the lowest ever recorded. here's a good one. lowest on the plummet ever recorded for americans without a high school diploma. veterans unemployment rate reaches lowest level in more than 20 years. almost 4 million americans have been lifted off food stamps since our election. do you know what that means? that means they went out and they have a great job.

they have jobs. the pledge to america's workers has resulted in employer's community to train more than 4.2 million americans. that numbers up to 5 million americans. we are committed to vocational education. i went to school and i remember going to school as a young guy and i would be an a student and we had good students. we had some people that weren't good students in the class. they were terrible students. they could blindfold and take about a motor or engine and could do things we never even thought about doing. they had a great aptitude. i say vocational is very important. they have this great talent, yet they were lousy students. we have to remember that. 95% of u.s. manufacturers are optimistic about the future. that's the highest ever recorded. signed the biggest tax cut and reform in history. the tax cuts, $300 billion have already poured back into the united states from overseas. i think that number will end up

being about $4 trillion. this is money that would have never come back to us. use is bringing back $230 billion. i dinner the other night with tim cook who is fantastic. they are spending a terminus amount of money in the united states. i asked him, would you have done it without our tax reform and tax plan? he said no, we wouldn't have done it. you wouldn't of been able to get the money back in. can you believe that? he couldn't believe the money back in. that's really good, good stuff. he cannot bring the money back into the united states. spend it someplace else. we helped win to bid for that 20208 summer olympics in los angeles. i helped a lot. i was called by a big democrat politician and he said to me sir, would you take a call from the head of the olympic committee. i said i'm not president. this was when i was not president. he said the president won't return his phone calls.
