of us companies. american companies have become increasingly pessimistic about operating in china. a recent survey from the american chamber of commerceai showed that less than half of us companies — or 47% — are optimistic about the world's second largest economy over the next five years. largest economy over that's the lowest percentage ever recorded by the survey. ken wilcox, the former boss of silivon valley bank knows all about the challenges of doing business in china and laid them out for us. the biggest lesson i would say is brief prepared for things that you wouldn't otherwise expect. china may look similar in many regards, but in so many regards looks are deceiving. could you elaborate on that? what is so deceiving? so many different things, _ what is so deceiving? so many different things, one _ what is so deceiving? so many different things, one is - what is so deceiving? so many different things, one is the - different things, one is the extent to which government is involved. i would say if you are operating in china and you are operating in china and you are not being controlled to one degree or another by the governmen

harris uses the phrase opportunity economy when she discusses how she will help americans financially but the us chamber of commerceproposing will lead to what lost wages entire prices for every day americans. they crunched the numbers and said over the next we 10 years in new york, texas and california alone it would cost american workers $85 billion in pay and increase prices by one hundred $30 billion, donald trump on the other hand wants to make the tax because he showed in during his term permanent, that decrease the corporate tax rate where it is now, 21%, trump now says he wants to go even lower to 15%. >> kamala harris is the tax clean and she's coming for your money, she's coming for your pensions and she's coming for your savings which i will keep her greedy hands out of your pockets and we will deliver you can take tax cuts. i gave you the largest tax cuts in history and we are going to go further. >> reporter: we will hear from trump in georgia. harris is expected to roll out new policies she says will help americans build wealth. she will be in another swing state where trump was yesterday, pennsylvani

of latin americans to go in there. so i went there and i asked the chamber of commerce and i asked the pastors and i as the, the people who had all the small businesses. and they said, we loved these guys, they're always here on time. they never commit crimes. they are great workers. i was like, this is not the story. i had thought i was going to be writing. so you're, you're absolutely right. yeah, springfield was a community in decline that was losing population. it was a dying community where industries have closed and everything that i have read coming out of springfield has talked about. and this is not only springfield, but very common and other rural, declining communities around the united states and not only rural, but also urban declining communities. that it's the immigrant population that is revitalizing places that are losing yes relation. yes, they're losing capacity to survive as community. so just x i see and says that are more apt to create new jobs there. i mean, because they start new businesses because they come here, they get together with families, they're more after work more hours than the aver

and this is where i think the chamber of commerce really let down american businesses a few years agoore, they statement said we are here for the shareholders. then a few years ago they succumbed to the pressure and said we are here for the stakeholders. sometimes the stakeholders is the tree in front of the building. i mean, really, it's not people who have skin in the game, and it invites everyone to have an opinion and everyone to push the company around, and no company can operate like that when you have all these potential bosses or folks you have to appease. >> bill: we will see if more come along the way. >> dana: kamala harris has this proposal and we want to ask you about it. she wants to give small businesses a $50,000 tax deduction for start up expenses, despite an irs warning that such tax breaks would end up in the wrong pockets. >> bill: $50,000. today you can get $5,000. this is 10x. >> the thing is, how do you collect on it? you have to be profitable at some point. i think you have to carry it until you are profitable. the most important thing, this is another gimmick.

ago we added stem education because the world was worried americans would not compete with japan, china, other countries so chambers of commerce, everyone said we have to do this math and science. today i guarantee you if you asked any business roundtable member, any chamber will tell you having employees that know how to manage stress, problem solve, who are resilient, they are the employees they are looking for. it is not enough to teach kids history and literacy. we need to also prepare them with life skills. for political reasons i do not know how, what nomenclature you want to use, social learning is conflated with liberalism, just [indiscernible] take the green beret analogy i used earlier. this is about us living optimal lies when we have so many obstacles thrown in our way. how do we manage them? that is good mental health. to get down the road of mental illness and spend all her time trying to course correct thinking and patterns of behavior when they are too far down the track of pathology. peter: you have one minute to tell us about your co-author, stephen friede. patrick: he teaches journalism at columbia. i was fo

to let all of it, pier but even the chamber of commerce says that's not a good, saying if the they're not extended it could cause the largest tax increase in american history. listen to what the ceo of the nonpartisan tax foundation says about what households would be facing. >> you all know that 62% of households will face a tax hike if the tax cuts and jobs act are allowed to expire and this is not something that folks are going to be able to ignore. this is going to be very meaningful in january of 2026 as as withholding tables adjust and people realize more money is taken out of paychecks across congressional districts our team has identified an a average of $2,800 tax hike from the expiration of both the individual and business pro visvisionses in the tax cuts an jobs act. cheryl: first off, addressing the expiration of the trump tax cuts, that's one thing, the tax foundations says if you look at harris' tax plan that would, quote, vaporize nearly 800,000 full-time equivalent jobs and would reduce long run gdp and wages by 2% and 1.2% respectively. >> yeah, i meantiming could not bees worse for the cuts to be expiring, the end of 2025, beginni

of achieving the american dream. a 2016 study by the u.s. chamber of commerce foundation found that 53% of all veterans were unemployed for at least four months after leaving the military. these are our country's strongest citizens, yet we repeatedly fail to sufficiently support them as they make the biggest transition in their life, from service member to civilian. s. 656 and h.r. 2830 make a much-needed change to the veterans educational assistance programs, expanding job opportunities for the brave men and women who serve our great nation. the v.a. c.d.l. act will increase veteran access to timely, quality commercial driver's license training, reduce veteran up employment or underemployment, and reduce the strain or nation's supply chain. currently, roughly 8,400 commercial driving programs are approved for use by eligible veterans under the g.i. bill. but a bureaucratic two-year rule prevents these training facilities from accepting g.i. benefits as secondary loaption -- at secondary locations for two years. this burdensome red tape has excluded many vetera

a move the us chamber of commerce argues would over the next 10 years in new york, texas, and california alone, cost americanore than $85 billion in pay, and increase prices for everyday americans by more than $130 billion. vice president harris will get her turn to talk taxes and the economy in a different swing state. trump was in georgia today. she will be in pittsburgh, pennsylvania tomorrow. david: grady trimble good to see you. joining us is former gop presidential candidate the great larry elder. what a pleasure to see you larry thanks for coming in. i think it's pretty simple. trump's plan. it boils down to producing more with lower taxes and lower regulations and a lot of very interesting new accounting standards that will help small businesses, and spending less. you've got elon musk coming in and slashing all of the waste and fraud the way he did with twitter where he fired about 90% of the people who worked there and has a company working pretty well so those two things. producing more and spending less by the government. that would bring the deficit down. what do you make of it? >> well david wh

from illinois, now with the chamber of commerce, and stephanie murphy, former democratic congresswoman from florida. the gang is back together, it must be a big night in americanince the last debate, it feels like a lifetime of history has happened in those 75 days. how important is tonight, do you think? i think it is extremely _ tonight, do you think? i think it is extremely important. - it is extremely important. president trump has to do as well in this debate as he did last time against president biden, which led to those historic changes that america and the world witnessed. but vice president harris has two again announce to the world who she really is. can she be held accountable for the failures of the biden—harris administration? how willshe administration? how will she differentiate administration? how willshe differentiate herself? this is one of those big nights that could make or break a presidential race, especially because as the polling shows, everything is so close right now. ~ . y ., ~ everything is so close right now. ., ~ ,, now. what you think, stephanie? i think now. what you think, stephanie? i think after— now. what you think, stephani

chamber of commerce is, designed to regulate trade in new york. the majority of the members are from the family and faction, a majority of the members go on to become loyalists. and the american revolution. they also set up the marine society is to care for widows, orphans, kind of looking after the people who are participating in trade in terms of their equivalents in britain as people like edmund burke and marquess of rockingham, they're kind of moderate wakes at this time because people often the alliances are loyalists with us. they are tories with a capital t. nobody in new york at this time was really a tory. they were all whigs all on a different degree, a different spectrum. when we get on to the people who want to become patriots, they're a little bit more radical. but alliances think staying within the british empire, using the british empire, is going to benefit new yorkers and it's almost exclusively through trade. they want to make sure that new york is set up as the most profitable center in the colonies, not not philadelphia. and new yorkers are generally ordinary new yorkers really buy into this because during the 1750s, during the seven years war of the frenc

american people. because that's what you're doing. finally, my colleagues on this side of the aisle, getting h.r. 2 passed, timely foresake then chamber of commerce'sebt grip on the republican party saying we need our cheap labor. but we haven't even scratched the surface, we haven't even begun to do what is necessary to take our country back. when president trump talks about mass deportation he means it and i mean it and i hope to hell republicans on this side of the aisle mean it. because 5.5 million people dumped into the united states without vetting, without knowledge of who the hell they are, we have the house judiciary committee recognizing 99 people on the terrorist watch list released into the united states. 35,000 chinese national this is year and the year is not even over. who are these people? i flew out to aurora, colorado, last week. i went to the apartment complex area. met with the people who were there. talked to one of the dez rent df the building. talked to the woman who put the camera on her door. she's not lying. yet we have colorado democrats trying to say it's a lie that venezuelan gangs are running the apartment complexes. t
