7:12 am
things aren't going to change much. he said republicans never, ever agree on health care. can you agree on health care? >> i think we're going to get to an agreement this year. it took 15 months for the democratic congress to write obamacare. i don't think it will take that long to write a replacement. that's part of the democratic process. we're at home hearing from constituents like i did this week, back in washington next week. this will be an open process. i think we'll get to a position where we can pass legislation that will solve a lot of problems that predate obamacare and our health care system that obamacare has made worse. >> what is the replacement? >> we're still going to be working on it, norah. there are lots of ideas and concepts out there. for instance, i think we should move from subsidies that the government pays directly to insurers to tax credits that empower individual arkansasans. the pre-existing conditions
7:13 am
which is part of obamacare. they wanted to cover the pre-existing and expand mental health. >> we want to make sure people with pre-existing conditions can get health care insurance. obama care imposed a mandate to buy certain insurance and a penalty if they don't. i think there's a better way to do that, get coverage to anyone as long as they have insurance, to make the insurance personalized and affordable to them. and also provide people with no means to get the insurance -- >> let's talk about foreign policy and military affairs. you helped recommend the new national security adviser. you made the call and the president picked him. he'll be directing foreign policy. what is the trump foreign policy? >> i wouldn't say it was that direct. h.r. mcmaster is a legend in the army but didn't necessarily have the highest profile in washington. i suggested general mcmaster to the white house and general mcmaster met with the president and they obviously hit it off. i think he's going to be a great
7:14 am
pick for the president for this national security cabinet and for the american people. >> steve bannon speaking at the cpac conference, the white house chief strategist talked about the administration's goal of pursuing economic nationalism and what he called the deconstruction of the administrative state. what does that mean? >> i think our administrative state has grown way too large. politicians and congress have been delegating the authority we're supposed to possession to unelected officials in washington, d.c. that's bad for our democracy. i think congress needs to take more responsibility so we can be held accountable. >> senator cotton, thank you very much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. police in malaysia say the half brother of north korea's dictator was killed by an extremely dangerous nerve agent developed for chemical warfare. security camera shows the attack by two women at kuala lumpur's international airport. the two women are in custody along with a north korean chem

7:44 am
doors at 3:30 a.m., not shut down the business, shut the doors to get people off the street. that would require city council approval. not mixing well with bar owner daniel victory. >> you worry about it hitting the bottom line? >> i'm in business to make money. >> the idea being, if you close the doors, people think you're closed. >> definitely, without a doubt. >> reporter: the new large-scale security plan comes three months after a deadly shooting on bourbon street which killed one man and injured nine others. the proposal includes 200 high definition cameras at 20 hot spots around the city and signs that make it clear you're being filmed. barriers like here are meant to stop a maniac with a vehicle from driving on bourbon street and killing a vehicle. that's what happened last year in nice, france. fearing that is part of why mayor mitch landrieu is rolling out this plan. >> we'll have more police officers, more boots on the ground, guys intact cal vehicles, much like they do in every major city because of

which he refused to attend last year during the campaign. >> and i'm here, fighting for you. and i will continue to fight for you. the victory and the win was something that really was dedicated to a country and people that believe in freedom, security and the rule of law. our victory was a victory and a win for conservative values. >> white house chief strategist steve bannon, who rarely speaks in public, was a big draw at cpac yesterday. >> bannon, leading voice behind the president's nationalist agenda said a new political order is being formed. >> president trump, when he was running, he made a -- this is the other thing that the mainstream media or opposition party never caught. if you want to see the trump agenda, it's very simple. it was all in the speeches. he went around to these rallies.
8:03 am
the speeches had tremendous amount of content in them, right? i happen to think probably the greatest public speaker in the arena since -- three buckets. first is national security and sovereignty. the second line work is economic nationalism. the third broadly line of work is what is deconstruction of the administrative state. you look at the wide degree of opinions in this room, whether you're a populist, whether you're a limited government conservative, libertarian, economic nationalist. we have wide and sometimes diverse opinions but the central core of what we believe, that we're a nation wan economy, not an economy in some global marketplace with open borders. but we're a nation with a culture and a reason for being. and i think that's what unites us. >> bannon repeatedly called the media the opposition party. >> major garret is at the white house. major, good morning.

nationalism, confrontation with the media and being the sort of pure trump believer, steve bannon fills that role and makes sure that message is delivered at each sbfr crucial meeting at this white house to keep that part of the trump agenda not only alive, but decisive, as this administration moves forward. >> major, "the new york times" reports that steve bannon was essentially not welcomed at cpac when he was head of breitbart. yesterday he was the center of attention there. what's changed exactly? >> reporter: well, it's part of the metamorphosis of the movement. kind of an intellectual odd id they were seen as, and a political force they did not have to reckon with. they were on the margins, on the fringes of conservative conversation, thought and politics. donald trump brought them dead center. and now, what's interesting to

sock? >> yeah. >> you start from a consumer perspective. we weren't insider apparel guys. we looked at the sock and said what are the things we don't like about socks when you really start to focus on it? the toe seam, the arch support and certain things, the type of cotton we use and all those things combine to make a comfortable sock. >> according to mary alice, you're doing a wonderful job. you're planning to give away 60,000 socks in one day. what does that mean? how do do that? and why are you doing that? >> on any given night 60,000 men, women and children experience homelessness here in new york city. and since homelessness is obviously a cause that's close to our heart, we wanted to help bring awareness to this issue. and so as a team we're constantly going out and donating our time together to homeless shelters but we want to figure out how could we bring awareness to the issue and get other people involved? so on tuesday, we're getting 60 of the top new york city companies together. we're assigning them to 60
8:36 am
different shelters and we're giving out 60,000 pairs of socks in one night. >> you made a bet that you would celebrate after you donated 1 million pairs of socks. >> yeah. we thought it would take ten years. 2 1/2 years. all of a sudden the bet was -- dave said to me, when we hit 1 million pairs donated i'll get a tattoo to celebrate. >> did you do that? >> i did. >> where is it? >> on my arm, our logo and slogan, be better. >> we filmed it. you can look up the video online. >> it's right there. we're showing it. >> did it hurt, dave? >> no. >> the company is profitable? >> yeah. last year we did over 17. million and were very profitable last year. >> your parents must be very proud. >> very proud. >> what does your son do? socks. >> he sells a lot of socks. >> congrats, guys. >> great to have you here. we'll all bee better. speaking of getting better, golf swing of a 6-year-old boy is the envy of professional

sport. he met many golf greats including tiger woods, bulb with an watson, jordan spieth, phil mickelson and rickie fowler. we met with him and his parents to discuss his attitude on and off the fairway. oh, my gosh! that is beautiful. he is known in the golf world as the one-armed golfer. >> get on the edge, get on the edge. >> a personality and enviable swing. >> you should go straight. >> quick to dispense advice on the course. >> oh, it looks good. yea! >> his celebrations reflect his pure love of the sport. i smoked that. >> you did smoke that. >> holy cow. >> and there's certainly no lack of confidence. nice shot. look at that. there are like 60-year-olds who have been playing golf their whole life and they're not as good as you. how did you get so good in 6 years? >> i don't know. >> practice, practice, practice,

8:43 am
that this was how your life would turn out? >> well, you know, i found out that he was going to be born with one arm when i was 14 weeks pregnant. so, that was terrifying, to say the least. but i think because joe and i decided that come hell or high water this is our life, we're going to give this little guy everything he needs to succeed in this life and, boy, you know -- that's why i say i think he was truly born to play golf, to inspire the world. he is who he is. and he was perfectly made. >> often seen mingling with the pros at pga tour events, tommy is using his celebrity to raise money for other families in need. >> how are you? i'm ryan. >> his foundation unlimited, which he started with the help of his parents, has donated over 375 sets of clubs to children and military families.
8:44 am
the morrisseys also talk with people about living with physical differences and standing up to bullies. how do you help people realize that they can do things that perhaps they didn't think they could do? >> because they watch me. >> i mean, that's got to be -- i know you're proud of your son for his own great abilities. but it's got to be something to watch him inspire other people. >> it's very cool. >> whenever he goes to a golf tournament, you can see the people look at him going oh, my goodness, how is this child going to swing with one arm? then they see him come out and hit the ball and go, oh, wow! >> holy cow! >> then they see him at the winner's table getting a blue ribbon and they go, okay, wow. this changes everything. >> good one. >> there's no child in the u.s. kids golf organization that has ever qualified for golf championships, which is the
