all of the american worker wants. we have to prioritize the american worker first. donald trump does that. it's why he won. it's because that's where the factories had closed. when you see the smart companies out there like sam sun saying that they're gonna open more factories. when you see ford numbering in their manufacturing back. the smart companies that know the problem for a long time has been the politicians. now trump is there. they are coming back. that's what we need. you argued the exact opposite. you think that we need more each one of h1b workers and not fewer. >> what i argued. and let me be clear. i'm thrilled that samsung is coming to america to create a factory. >> are you happy with the system ? the system needs to be fixed. so what happens and does he doesn't happen again. it is not the appliance that may take belts. it takes more technology. it is not only factories coming to the u.s. for every visa five american jobs are created. that's an incredible deal for the american worker. >> have a chapter in our book with sold-out will be debug a lot of

and candidate trump promised to fight for the american worker and middle class families. but now he wants to eviscerate the one agency that sticks up for consumers when they're being ripped off by payday lenders and debt collectors, the consumer financial protection bureau. a president who was a true champion for working america would never even consider unwinding protections that were designed to make our financial system more secure and protect hard working americans from the isky practices of wall street. unfortunately, president trump is already proving he's not that champion. by breaking key promises to stand up to wall street and fight for the middle class, the working class. senator wyden.

the american economy. you have seen for yourself the struggles that american workers can face in difficult times in your stewardship of companies, one after another, have time and again saved thousands of jobs and put those companies and firms in a position to survive and thrive in the years ahead. it is a credit to your ability and to your dedication to the american worker. now president trump has called on you to serve your country as seeing of commerce and given your decades of experience, your record of leadership, your integrity and commitment to protecting america's future, president trump and i have full confidence that you will succeed and when you succeed as secretary of commerce, you will help america succeed to a more prosperous future. now on behalf of president trump i will administer the oath of office. place your left hand on the bible. raise your right hand and repeat after me. i wilbur ross do solemnly ross. >> i wilbur ross do solemnly swear. vice-president pence: that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states. >> that i will support and defend the constitution of the united

will be from now on the party also of the american worker. es: is president trump changing the overall space of conservatism here to discuss gina loudon and ed rollins. gina hear the headline to read today cpap gets dramatic makeover. how about this one the g.o.p. isn't the party of trump yet or the rise of the tough guy right. as conservatism changed, hasn't changed from what people thought it was even a year ago or three or four years ago? >> no, no think so but i do think president trump has come as very much a more pleasant surprise than a lot of people really would have predicted charles. you know i have been on your show for a long time, many months thing about donald trump was our most viable winnable option that but i can say a lot of people didn't agree with me. i think they have, and around. we are just talking about the values that have always been conservative values and consvatives are ve surised by that. >> charles, if you were to close your eyes and just say it's president and this presents us putting forward a rock star conserv

the gop will also be the party f the american worker. he said that very directly. at do you think he mean by that? >> he talked a lot also about hs base of support, the forgotten americans, and we're talking about people who are the blue collar workers across the country. not necessarily the ones that gt the attention on the coasts or n the media all the time. what he was talking about is whn you redo those trade deals you o it in a way that protects american jobs. you help them rebuild their communities. loaf his plans are to put ameria first and that anti-globallest message was it's about protectig america and doing right by the american worker. i think it translates into all f the policies he talked about. cutting regulations. cutting the deficit and redeploying those resources for the purposes that will help the american people. i think there's lot of message there that was targeted at the people outside of washington and new york. >> it's interesting to juxtapose that to barack obama to focus on global citizen. it's something that president obama talked about a

the american wker. workersired immigrant to work illegally. taxed people on their pay. that is not the behavior of someone who is for the american worker. host: bill, hazelwood, repuican. caller: first of all, i live st up the street from ferguson . would like to thank the democrats, including my congressman, for hing nearly destroyed ferguson, which is a wonderful community, but for the first time in a long time, and i'm 70 years old, i'm very proud to be a republican because of president trump. . i'm not a trumper i've g to say that mr. berman has got to be out of his mind. he did not once mention the fact that the democrats haven't won anything. once again, we have many publicans abandoning principles and staing up for silliness. talking specifically about the senators from arizona and, i believe, south carolina. i'm very, very pleased with everythi president trump has done. puzder would have been a great guy, but the republicansgain had to show that ey wouldn't backup other republicans. we will take care of this in two years and we will straighten out that senat you, therean i ask is a tweet from fox news research that shows the numb

most importantly for the american worker. they have been treated very unfairly for a long time. not anymore. he will put his skills to work for america's working families and will help make america the greatest jobs magnet on the face of the earth. it will truly be for our country , for the first time in a long time, a rising tide that lifts all boats and lifts all ships. stephen, i want to again congratulate you end louise on -- you and louise on this unbelievably high honor. this is one of the great honors. i know you will carry your office with dedication, integrity, and passion. tremendous passion. you have much very important work ahead for the american citizens and you will absolutely , no problem, he will work 24 hours a day. i know him. he will work 28 hours a day if they give him the extra four hours. he will be very, very special. so i would like to just say so importantly, god bless you, god bless america. and congratulations.

the idea that, hey, this is a new former conservatism, the focus is on the american worker, the way we get there is through america first and almost every single thing i think all roads have to lead back to that thing. >> well, look, i've never been one to immense my words. i'm going to lay it out for you right now. this will be one of the most important speeches of the trump presidency. he has to instill in congress the will to govern and to get things done, and that's not easy in a porous and broken town like washington d.c. no matter what he says, the democrats are going to him and haw. do they agree with the people? and to do the people's business. because remember, if we look at that harvard poll, 73% of voters say they want democrats to work with president trump. the key to trump is to make sure that the american people know he has their best interest at heart. charles: amy. >> and just to give you a little bit of process. i know that gets a little bit boring. but i used to write state of the senate speeches. he delivered right after the state of the union. and i would tell you t

and candidate trump promised to fight for the american worker and middle-class families. but now he wants to eviscerate the one agency that sticks up for consumers when they're being ripped off by payday lenders, debt collectors, the consumer financial protection bureau. a president who is a true champion for working america would never even consider unwinding protections that were designed to make our financial system more secure and protect hard working americans from the risky practices of wall street. unfortunately, president trump is already proving he is not that champion by breaking key promises to stand up to wall street and fight for the middle-class, the working class. senator white. senator white: thank you, senator schumer and the leader said it very well. and look, the public is obviously getting used to broken promises but you think a guy who personally embraced a rule named after himself would want to stick to it for a while. that has not been the case with munuchin rule. let me quote what he said. he said "any reduction we have in upper income taxes would b

the group had a discussion in the need to invest in the american worker, especially the key role of vocational schools for the work force of the 21st certa century, public private partnerships will be the cornerstone to rebuild the nation's crumbling infrastructure, holding back so many key projects. at the end of the discussion the group expressed their excitement for asking a true partner in economic growth in the white house and the ceo of dow chemical said this is probably the most pro-business administration since the founder fathers. the president conveyed his intention to assemble on a regular basis to discuss progress toward these important goals. a full list of the participants is available. this afternoon the president spoke with canadian prime minister trudeau on the phone. and had a meeting with leaders involving human trafficking, their expertise will be invaluable to the president as he engaged with members of congress, to push through legislation to prevent all forms of the horrific practice of buying and selling human lives, it is a problem both domestically and internationally

virtually all institutes would have written on the issue of the dislocated american worker. here's the core issue, a very small percentage will give higher than what he gave. a very small percent of worker are dislocated because of trade. a very large percentage -- dislocation of 4 million workers a year. a very large percentage because of automation. 85 or 90%. now the problem with trade adjustment assistance and such programs as we have, which are the least generous and the most stingy of any advanced country, is that they've been nearly targeted in their own special stinginess on workers who are impacted by trade and can come up with competition. which is 70,000 workers a current year at times. so all these millions of workers who get really very little out of the government system, naturally feel neglected and then someone like trump comes along and sanders said the same thing. blame it all on trade. create this hatred. he came to the issue. it's just too expensive, he said at the time, i think he was wrong, but just too expensive to have a program that covers all the dis

the group held a lengthy discussion about investing in the american worker to prepare for the future, and the key role of vocational schools and training the work force of the 21st century. the ceos and administration officials agreed that public-private partnerships will be the cornerstone of a plan to rebuild the nation's crumbling infrastructure. the president committed to streamlining and permitting processes that is holding back so many key projects. at the end of the discussion, the group expressed their excitement for having a true partner in commission growth in the white house and the ceo of dow chemical said this is probably the most pro business administration since the founding fathers. the president conveyed his intentional to assemble leaders to discussion problem towards these goals. a full list of the participants is available. this afternoon the president spoke with canadian prime minister trudeau. we'll have a read-out on that call soon. right now many of you just came from the president involved in another listening session with leaders in the fight against domestic

gop will be, from now on, the party also of the american worker. [applause] we have not been given credit for this, but if you look at how much bigger our party has gotten during this cycle. the early days, when we had 17 people running, in the primaries, millions of people were joining. i won't say it was because of me, but it was. [

the president focused on american production. >> and this administration our allegiance will be to the american workers and american businesses like harley-davidson. >> this isn't the first president to meet with the american iconic, three of the last five presidents including ronald reagan, george w bush and bill clinton have met with harley-davidson at their milwaukee headquarters. while today's meeting put the focus on manufacturing and jobs in the u.s., harley's challenge remains find consumering consumers to hop on those motorcycles. >> it reportedly outsor sourced part of its information technology unit a report on cnbc.com said in 2012 signed an agreement an indian tech staffing company to take over a portion of its i.t. department. >> while the president and harley-davidson executives met about job the labor department for unemployment benefits. it's the latest positive piece of data that show a tightening job market ahead of tomorrow's monthly employment report. what investors can expect tomorrow? >> reporter: ahead of friday's jobs report from the labor department, we learned that fewer americans applied for unemployment

if you are placed the american worker you have a template for a socialist and extreme left speech in china as well as europe. so it's only in those corners you will find that narrative. that's the main difference. >> jerry. >> now surprisingly this causes consternation. >> one of the reasons i think nasa has been in the eye of a lot of people who supported trump is an issue that most economists who don't either recognize or acknowledge. all that is however many jobs have been lost to mexico you would be hard pressed to find and manufacturing job that hasn't been threatened to be moved to mexico for purposes of keeping wages down to mexico or china or other countries. i used to be in business before he became a lawyer and i can tell you it happened all the time. the tipping point that happen in this election was basically you had 40 years of basically flat income for working men and women in the country and there are lots of pictures that say this is trade. whether or not economists can agree that trade costs jobs it certainly cost wages. the ability to move jobs or the ability to thre

it tilts the field against the american worker. and so the president is looking at tax policy that encourages manufacturing and job creation in the united states. >> but where is this tax, where is he on the stack specifically? >> i understand it and i think what is doing is he met yesterday with his team on the budget. he's talking to secretary mnuchin and others who are working on a comprehensive tax reform plan. remember this isn't something that's been done since 1986. so as we look at it, part of that is to make sure that we lower our corporate tax rate, that would make it more attractive to manufacture and grow jobs in the united states, to make our companies more competitive with companies overseas that frankly better tax treatment on her own company sue state in the united states. so creating more of a playing field that encourages manufacturing and growing and creating in the united states but make no mistake. if a company in united states is already an expanding in the united states, it will be only to the benefit. it actu

is it consistent with the values of the american worker and the american people and, two, is it good for workers? if it passes that test, then we're going to work for it. if it doesn't, we're going to work against it. and most -- many of the things that he's done has failed that test. in addition to that, he said he was going to change the rules and drain the swamp and get wall street under control and instead his appointments have been more and more and more wall street which will benefit wall street and corporate america and hurt workers so we're concerned by the appointments. we're concerned by the first flurry of actions because they're inconsistent with hess message which is, again, we wouldn't let wall street get away with murder and, two, the american economy works best when it works for the worker. >> on trade he seems to be more on point where he works for what you're talking about. the tpp nafta model has weakened our position. so undeniably the president seems to be on the same page and that seems to be part of the discussion he was having with union leaders. so, you know,

and it tilts the field against the american worker. so, the president is looking at the tax policy that encourages manufacturing and job creation in the united states. and if -- >> where is he on this border adjustability tax? where is he on this tax specifically? >> i understand that. i think what he's doing is he met yesterday with his team on the budget. he's talked to secretary mnuchin and others who are working on a comprehensive tax reform plan. remember, steve, this isn't something that's been done since 1986. so, as we look at it, part of that is to make sure that we lower our corporate tax rate, that we make it more attractive to manufacture and grow jobs in the united states, to make our companies more competitive with companies overseas that, frankly, have better tax treatment than our other companies who stay in the united states. creating more of a playing field that encourages manufacturing and growing and creating in the united states. but make no mistake, if a company is in the united states already, and expanding in the

the middle class. i do not think either party has been honest with american workers about where things are. e amount of automation is cutting into jobs and job growth. do you think government has leveled with the american workers about where the state of the economy as in terms of jobs? >> i do think people have a better understanding of it than their government gives them credit for. obama tried a series of programs designed to get people into jobs that were not old-fashioned manufacturing jobs. that did not really work. trump saying i am going to make america great. by bringing back manufacturing jobs. people know that is not true. the core dilemma for government is how do you re-create middle-class jobs? the people who lost their jobs in auto factories, or in other --eres of life, where people where people have lost their jobs, they do not know how to do it. they are waiting for someone to show them how to find a way in the 21st century. you have low-paying service jobs and high-end white-collar jobs and this middle range is really what is missing. >> the key issue with the economy, last

to the disadvantage of the american worker then just like we learned that in the 30's. >>. >>guest: trough but what is the of proposition? the implosion is to get to the trade wars. >> i can pick up after youe firs but you wonder do little but. >> died did. and i'm sorry.tion let the have been associated with that for years.idicul and i agree it is marginal and every edward van nest country has a larger break and now basically we're out of business if you are pro export like jeff sessions he opposed that it the senate. maybe we could do something about that but it is a rarginal. but the exchange rate over 20 years is the biggest single reason with the number control -- within our control is a deficit of $500 billion. control and food controls the exchange rate? the federal reserve and the exchange-rate nobody notices it but it is there.exchange ratt in under the obama beat the -- obama and demonstration. and yet with these persistent trade deficit is quite unfortunate then to put a final number on the outset of the actual expenditure on this tiny in the program is less than

the truth. if workers want to have a voice, they should have that voice. and choose whether or not they want to join with the union. that is the american way. that democracy. if workers want yet the nominee for labor wanted to do away with the nlrb. in fact, when we look at the total case history, it's like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. unless of course you own the hen house, and then it's ok. so i just, again, want to finish up by saying to mark and brendan how appreciative i am of keeping this focus on the forefront of what we do here in congress. i created a building trades caucus along with a colleague, mckinley, out of west virginia. so we could try to move this forward. create an infrastructure package that puts america back to work and keep ours roads, our bridges, an our grid safe. so let's remember one thing. fair day's pay for a fair day's work and the dignity of a job. we appreciate what you've done and i yield back. mr. veasey: thank you. i want to thank the gentleman from new jersey, appreciate your heart felt words and thank you for telling us about your journey and employment and how much electricians mean to thi

strongly on calling those players out, saying they are globalists, that they are not focusing on the american workerlarry: one part of this is that we -- this is a long tradition we have seen in latin america. peron in argentina is a classic. ample you reject all the experts -- a classic example. you reject all the experts. once you are in power, you cut a set of deals to protect monied interests, who then support you -- waves, andse perpetuate your power. that is a long tradition. it often produces good results in the first few months, because businesses get excited. although have to do is look at the economic history of latin america to know that in the long run it is a passport to nowhere. there's a lot of that going on. then there's a separate issue, which is these intermittent threats to companies like what the president did to the air conditioner company. or what the president did about the price of air force one. symbolic. is comparedlly small ball to the size of the economy. take one example. he probably did delay or maybe even forestall the movement of carrier.to mexico at on the other hand

the president is looking forward to hosting these leaders, the american worker built this country and is focused on restoring a government that puts their interests first. >>> security advisor mike flynn announc announced david catler, john eisen berg deputy assistant to the president. kevin harrington deputy assistant to the president for strategic planning -- lastly we had a great reaction to our skype introduction seats yesterday. we have had a tremendous amount of requests pouring from around the country, contact the press office if you have any interest in joining us in the future. >> a policy form will be held tomorrow afternoon and have lunch with general flynn before departing to marla go. >>ast year, the obama state department officially declared a genocide against christians, in the middle east and north africa, now that rex tillerson has been sworn in, what is the administration planning to do to deal with the legal obligations of protecting these groups under the u.n. 1948 treaty? >> i think mr. tillerson is learning his way around the building this morning. we gave a grea

effort to reach out to both sides, so the corporation side, the union leaders, his focus is on the american worker. when you look at these boycotts, these political boycotts do in fact, could impact these workers working for these corporations and i think that what these ceo's need to do is keep the politics out of it. customers just want to go and buy their products if that's what they want. when they start putting in their own moralistic approach, i think it really is-- it sends a negative message to consumers in america. eric: let's bring in rachel, your thoughts on president trump meeting with the union leaders and coming out with a positive response from them? >> yeah, they came out and they said it was incredible, quote, unquote. and i think that democrats are going to be nervous about that because we've already peeled away about 100,000 democrats who switched tickets in this election, and if he triangulates with the unions that's going to spell more trouble with democrats. mercedes makes a great point. we need to get back to the business of america, which is business and that said, i will s

has been to increase the gdp and ensure that we're having corporations invest in america and the american worker. time will tell. i have to admit for president trump, his focus is he understands the mentality of the ceo's and the corporations. he's willing to negotiate with them and bring jobs back to america. i think that's a very positive first step and i think you're going to see more to come. >> we'll leave it right there. speaking of more to come. it's a damn shame what's going on with our infrastructure, get it? and revealing just how bad it's gotten. we know that president trump wants to fix it, but how will he pay for it? what if technology gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. there are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample. with the microsoft cloud, we can analyze the data faster than ever before. if we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks before they begin. dtry align junior probiotic.th digestive balance? so she c

they're looking for an administration that leans towards helping the american worker and american businessesnaugural address, we will make no decision except those in favor of the american workers, the fact that he would meet with business early is positive. we saw this in a recession. during the recession we called on auto repair garages. cash was flowing through those garages, the wall street journal was writing articles saying be repair shops come but they were not buying long payback items. so our view is confidence is everything. david: let's talk about that, very specifically. -- are you seeing that corporations are starting to increase their long-term investment for the future? >> i don't know that you can pinpoint that. i'm not sure whether they are or not. i think this environment will do this at the grassroots level. you are talking about corporations. small businesses, garages, the auto repair business which is a bunch of small businesses right down to the technicians. it has never been better. it has never been stronger. their optimism was very good. one problem i do have is they
