8:40 am
bad eggs in each administration i don't think steve miller is a bad egg i think he's gotten an unfair rap like many of the members of the troubled ministration because of how intensely the radical left hate tropp and how intensely the far right are determined to defend anything and everything about this administration there is a core sense of what it means to be an american rights for workers low unemployment you know respect of the individual all these things go out the window on the extreme left and on the extreme right when we allow those two polls to dictate the discussion and that's what's happening on immigration and we can go a different direction if we'd only choose. in northwestern iraq locals live it it's after us led coalition coalition air strike reportedly has civilians and local police instead of terrorists there's

8:51 am
and it has been just over a year into the trumpet ministration time now for an economic report card look at year one here with a closer look is our team's nicholas o'donovan. donald trump came into office under the promise of puts in america first on every front and obviously the economy was and still is an important part of that message and we're going to start spending here we're going to start spending. and with that being said we're going to protect our country over the past year the stock market has boomed g.d.p. growth has improved and unemployment is at an almost seventeen year low good numbers to allow trump to be optimistic we're heading numbers that nobody thought possible certainly not in this time and the numbers going up are going to me much better than anybody anticipates in fact they're going to say that trump is the
8:52 am
opposite of an exaggerator if we take a look at the markets the dow jones has set record highs seventy times rise in five thousand points in a year for the first time in history and corporate tax cuts have been met with enthusiasm by the u.s. business and financial sectors with low unemployment good paying jobs in our priority and although donald trump inherited an economy that was already on a good trajectory wage growth was actually less than what we saw in twenty sixteen despite his protectionist message more the ninety three thousand jobs were eliminated due to foreign competition since trump's election that's according to a study by the labor coalition good jobs nation these numbers are more or less in line with what we've seen in the previous five years. then there's the international trade deals of the trade deals.
8:53 am
i get a headache thinking about who made these deals another big issue has been company outsourcing trump nice has often used his populist rhetoric to make sure that his protectionist message came across we will never let the bad things happen with respect to the economy of our country we're not going to lose our businesses again like has happened over the last number of decades america is coming back bigger and better and stronger than ever before trump scored an early victory on this front when he announced that a major carrier plant would stay in the u.s. instead of moving down to mexico but the truth is that a year later kariya has already eliminated hundreds of jobs and is still out source into mexico fold also announced that production for one of its new models is be moved out of kentucky and will be go into exist in plants in china but donald
8:54 am
trump's tax plan may start having an impact on wage growth companies such as starbucks wal-mart or apple could use that tax saving money to boost salaries in all donald trump has completed his first year in office with a better school card than predicted by many and consumer confidence is highest levels in seventeen years the question now is if trump's reforms will have a long term positive impact on the majority of americans nicholas o'donovan. we've seen consumer borrowing rise to some of the highest monthly gains in sixteen years due to increased consumer confidence in the economy with borrowing levels rising to nearly thirty billion dollars just last november it's still just been a month into the new year but are we on track to see
8:55 am
a continued increase in borrowing levels and consumer confidence let's ask jeffrey small the president of arbor financial and arthur author of turning financial planning right side up geoffrey thank you for being here household credit has hit a peak of thirteen trillion dollars what do you make of all that and it's good creating debt and probably defaults right well there's no doubt defaults are rising and auto loans and credit cards but also can besides the household debt rising thirteen trillion it's because of net worths of the average household or close to ninety seven trillion nationally here in the united states so when people feel good about their wealth they borrow more and they borrow more when they see the stock market going up thinking that that if they if those guys on wall street are so smart maybe it's ok if i spend money well there's no doubt consumer confidence is an all time high small business confidence is an all time high investor optimism is an all time high and when things are peaking people feel good from wall street to main street and we reported on this program jeffrey yesterday about the savings
8:56 am
rate being the lowest point since december of two thousand and seven does that worry you you know it really does i'd love to see an incentive legislatively where we start to give an incentive to folks to start saving more because we have a major retirement gap from the folks that are in generation x. and in the millennial space so which which areas which do you have specific stocks that you think we should be looking at what areas for the millennial and others do you think they should be looking at for investment opportunities. well other than the obvious like the thing stocks facebook amazon that flex and google were and then when the expanding economy and a rising interest rate environment so the stock market dynamic is getting ready to significantly change even with the tax cuts so i'd be leaning more towards financials banks and insurance companies that apparently do much better in a rising rate environment and where are you on digital currencies jeffery. i'm
8:57 am
digital currencies you know i like the blog change technology i'm not a fan of big coin until we see the f.c.c. actually decide to start regulating the cryptocurrency side of the equation i'm not a big fan i see there's a bubble just like everybody else does you know there is news and we're going to talk about it a little bit more on this program tomorrow there was another big loss at a crypto currency exchange in and japan last friday and they don't know if the money's going to be there to cover it so i also share your pessimism at some points on you know what's going on here it needs to be regulated i think although there's a future let me ask you about president trump he's obviously going to talk about the all the economic records in the the stock market highs and talk about we've got this great economy right now but just today we saw the dow drop when we went to air jeffrey three hundred twenty three points it dropped one hundred seventy seven yesterday that's the first to date triple digit loss in
8:58 am
a year and today is the s. and p's worst one day fall in five months is this just normal market ups and downs given we've had this. record of corrected highs jeffrey or is there something more to it all bartlett's and there's not much more to it we've had fourteen straight months of record stock market growth that's never happened in one hundred forty seven years without at least one bad month or one negative month so we were really due for a pullback there some profit taking bomb yields are rising there's pressure on health care there's a number of reasons for pulling back but valuations are a little high right now and i agree with you certainly an expert and i'm not although three hundred twenty three was a little higher than i had hoped for the second day but i think the overall thrust absolutely markets go up they go down you can't just have one direction going up up up it's going to take a down jeff or you know we're going to talk a while. back on the government shutdown it ended up just being three days and two
8:59 am
of those were on the weekend but we're going to be headed towards one again in a couple weeks here that congress has just kicked the can down the road on another government shutdown so how do you look at those the economic impact of a shutdown well the economic impact going back to the seventy's on government shutdowns mostly is benign on the markets we actually see the markets grow you know wall street and main street have a lot more common sense than the politicians and the politicians need to realize that we need to have some border security and we need to do whatever that means for our country's economic sake and the secure our people american people should come first and what about the market impact of a potential government shutdown in a couple of weeks if congress and the president don't come to some agreement on that border wall and those dhaka dreamers jeffrey well i don't think it's going to affect the stock market to be honest with you has it in the past we've actually seen the market rise it could hurt the economy longer term though if we see the
9:00 am
shutdown go on forever but then of course there's political consequences and i don't believe that either party wants to take that road now i think they i think you're right on that jeffrey thank you so much for being with us for sure appreciate it hope you'll come back jeffrey small president of arbor financial and the author of turning financial planning right side up thanks for your time thank you time now for a quick pause for the promotional cause but stay with us because when we return ashley banks talks with peak prosperity c.e.o. chris martenson about what he calls the everything bubble plus before we go i'll give you my two cents maybe a nickel on what president trump should do at his state of the union speech as we hit the break here are those numbers again two days in a row down triple digits on the dow the numbers the closing bell right in front of you.
