trump is somewhere between reagan and calvin coolidge. this budget is one of the most conservative document sent up in the last half century. only reagan's '81 budget would be comparable to it. he's sending a clear signal. he wants a smaller government, less regulatory red tape, more power to the people and he's comfortable fighting it out. he won't get everything he wants. but he's setting a standard for a much tighter policy and smaller government than liberals wanted. judge jeanine: you know what's amazing about this, not that anyone is surprised. but people are criticizing him. i was reading one of the newspapers, it said he's not decreasing the deficit. really? at least he's not add together deficit. he's keeping promises to their cans about medicare and social security which is 40% of the federal budget. but this is a man who will be criticized no matter what he does. it will be like this for the next four years? >> absolutely. if donald trump were to walk out this summer and buy a raspberry ice cream cones the "new york times" woul

presidents that took office to cut taxes, lower regulation, that was -- warren harvarding and calvin coolidged then reagan. in both case, they were elected at a time of economic hardship when the economy was underperforming and the stock market was very low. they both succeeded in having a huge bull market for a while. but, we're not in the same situation, the market, he's inheriting is already high and the economy is already at full employment. >> and that's -- >> ali velshi, if you deregulate banks with, if banks get to cut capital, guess whose problem that becomes? the tax payers. again. which is exactly what we isn't that true 2008. if those banks overextend themselves, it's the tax payers issue. >> well, what you are going to hear in exactly five seconds is the ringing of the bell on the day that has been the single most successful for u.s. markets of 2017 so far. we are not closing at session highs. which means this may not be a thing for a long time, but the dow for the first time ever closed above 21,000. robert schiller, thank you for being with us and for your insight, stephanie, st

. >> sometimes i think i've been watching these things back to calvin coolidge. what happened here last night, having seen so many of them. we know this about trump. he knows how to dominate a room. i've rarely seen a president, even reagan or obama or clinton, kind of take control, i'm going to steer this ship, the interesting and important thing, i think, he kept pointing over toward the democrats and he realized he's got to negotiate and deal with the democrats here to get some of this through. that's going to be the test. and there was a kind of silence on the part of the democrats. >> yeah, bob. it wasn't as hostile. i think i certainly heard it. there is a realization that donald trump is a product of new york, he's a product of manhattan. he is more comfortable culturally talking to nancy pelosi than, say, paul ryan. i wanted to ask you one other thing, though. the only time i've been sitting there where there was sort of this noticeable shift was bill clinton when he said the era of big government is over and we republicans laughed. and clinton got us --
