meanwhile, to andy puzder, slated to be the next labor secretary. and then a buzz saw of delays and he had to pull himself out. i'm talking a lot of delays and a lot of buzz-sawing activity. we get into an interview that is getting a great deal of response in and out side of washington. andy puzder on no regrets now from fox business. >> i'm disappointed. it was very sad to watch the president's state of the union. while the speech was incredible and watching the democrats act like children was enjoyable. it was great to see is the guys on the floor. hear about the president talk about issues that you and i have been talking about the past eight to ten years on your show and i've been writing about and very involved in and i could have been a big help to the president. it was hard to watch that it was heart breaking. but i'm fine. i'm going to continue on, continue to fight for workers rights and free enterprise. it was a tough fight. >> neil: how did you tell the president you were taking yourself out of the running? >> i got a call from somebody h

andy puzder joins us now, former trump economic be adviser. truction. that's what happened to you, isn't it? >> it is. there's really no way that the democrats wanted a successful business person in there that might be able to help president trump generate economic growth and the job growth and wage and benefit growth that would come with it if i got in there. so there was -- they were, they were -- the opposition was stiff. stuart: but did you -- i know this is a touchy subject, but did you get the support that you should have gotten from the republican party and from the administration? >> well, you'd always like more support, but the president and the vice president were very, very supportive. there came a time when the press went after me very hard, and there were some attacks on my family and on our house where i went to the transition team and said, look, if you would like, i will, i'll withdraw from this. and i was told that from the highest floors of trump tower that the message was there's no darn way that -- and i cleaned that up, the

andy puzder, what went wrong and why. whether he is bitter.bout much more after this. ♪ as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had siificantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop.

andy puzder didn't slip over mandated wage hikes so people didn't flip out over here.he didn't get the gig. was he right about automation pushing jobs out as wages go up? one chain is introducing this burger flipping robot behind the counter. john miller is here and will tell us why. welcome. good to have you. appropriate timing on jobs day to be talking about robot technology, replacing workers? this is something that andy repeatedly warned against. what is behind this? >> for us, it's as much about turnover as anything else. for whatever reason, millennials that we hire don't stay long. they come in, we train them, they work for a while and go drive an uber, go home to play completive video games. so the cost of the turn over on our business is tremendous. so to the extend we can automate tasks and allow robots to work side by side humans and reduce the amount we have to spend on training and retraining, that's our primary focus. >> trish: what does it cost to buy a robot? >> about $30,000 u.s. that cost is declining as the hardware more available. >> trish: so what
