the co-author is andy puzder. mr. poster you talked about it in your book. at the time we wrote it in 2009 and 2010 there was a lot of uncertainty in the economy because of actions that president obama is taking on the progressive lines as opposed to conservative economic lines which i think the business community would it preferred. with respect to energy and with respect to regulation it was great uncertainty in the business community about where the government was going and what kind of an obstacle it would become. we try to tried to convey the message that the government would provide positive certainty so we could rise out of the recession. at that point we were still in the recession until june of 2009 2009. we were out of it technically but i don't think people for years felt that we were out of it in reality. if you want the dynamic economic growth you are expecting winding out of a recession yet to do positive things to give the vistas community some certainty that you are not going to hurt them. >> host: what are some of the measurements? >> guest:

andy puzder is with us. mpanies will be bringing that money back to america, because it is a deemed repatriation tax. they will get taxed on it whether they bring it back or not. they will bring it back. what do you think they will use that money for? >> i think use for a lot of things. one, they will buy back stock, which will get money back into the economy. they will rye invest in their business. you have to be, they would have to be insane not to take advantage of the ability to invest and totally expense your investment, which, for viewers who may not know what that means is, you can deduck, if you build plant, invest in plant and equipment, you can deduct that from your profits, from your income before you compute taxes. that is a huge advantage. that is in place for five years. so we'll see that kind of investment. i think they will pay down debt. a lot of these companies borrowed money because they couldn't bring earnings back to the united states. some will use it to reduce their debt which should st

former cke policy adviser for america first policy andy puzder. to miss any of those gentlemen. president trump says that the best is yet to come. he tweeted this morning stocks and the economy have a long way to go after the tax cut bill is totally understood and appreciated in scope and size. immediate expensing will have a big impact, biggest tax cuts and reform ever passed, enjoy and create many beautiful jobs. the house set to vote on the final tax bill today with a vote in the senate expected to follow later in the day or early tomorrow, gop lawmakers from high-taxed states largely oppose the plan but looks like both chambers have support to push the bill over the finish line. >> i would like to have had it be fairer to california, but, you know, i fought for changes, i got some changes, i'm disappointed we didn't get as many as we could have. >> there's 51 republicans now with mccain gone, you could lose two and still win 49 to 48 so i don't think there's any doubt they'll be signing a bill before the end of the week. >> let's bring in sout

stuart: well-said, andy puzder, thanks for joining us.soon. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: check this out please. hilton trying to get into smart hotel rooms. the hilton honors app will have smart features, do things like change the ream temperature, at just lights, shades in your room from your phone. why on either people think that is attractive, i simply can not imagine. i have a hard time turning on the tv set in a hotel room. ashley: wait until it is voice activated. stuart: now you have stupid little gadgets, make them on a phone. will that make it easier? what real nonsense. anyway i read the script. hilton is studying connected room in one hotel right now. the company plans to expand systemwide in 2018. not sure i like it, mr. and mrs. hilton. >>> look at this, this half christmas tree, made to mount on a wall so it can save space in the living room. you might think half the tree, half the price. that is not the case. ashley: of course not. stuart: one of these half-trees, goes for 150 bucks. liz: ridiculous. stuart: a color company r

ly call that a dead flat steal mate on the market as we speak. 24,271, andy puzder is with me. ica first policies, a very slight change of subject, if i may, andy, you have all of the commotion going on about general flynn and the administration at the time of the changeover from president obama to president trump, you also have the idea that mr. tillerson, secretary of state, will be leaving in january. can i call that -- strong word, but chaos and confusion in the cabinet? you've been there, am i accurate? >> well, stuart, i don't think that there's chaos and confusion. i want to make it very clear. look, the president of the united states donald j. trump did not collude, he did not conspire with the russians, people should put that out of their mind, they shouldn't let the media build this up into something that it's not, so -- i want to be really clear about that. this is not going to go anywhere. like charlie just said, there maybe something else they try and get the president on, i can't imagine what that would be, but it's not going to be colluding or conspiring with the

former cke restaurant ceo andy puzder what he makes of that. ey did in the senate, andy, kind of slip that in there. i understand the constraints they're under to make the numbers match and pay for themselves over the years, but, now, it could be jeopardizing support among the house freedom caucus and conservative republicans. could this thing blow up? >> i don't think it will blow up over this. i don't think the impact is big enough to, from my view, the individual or the corporate to blow it up but it is contrary to the objective here which is to generate economic growth. if we're going to generate economic growth, we shouldn't stick all technicalities in there that seem to discourage growth, whether corporate or individual amt that takes money from people and we're trying to give money to people. neil: are you surprised, i know everyone went into this the saying the real tax breaks would be for corporations and that would ignite and fuel an economic boom, they added, i'm not saying an afterthought, but not as much thought of individual rates

brian: here now former secretary of labor andy puzder. welcome back.ass people will be getting a tax break of over $1,000. is it already put into the market, this tax break or do you think that we're going to see some type of boon come winter. >> we will see a real boon. this tax bill is done exactly what it should have done. it gave tax benefits to working and middle class americans as you pointed out, which was important. because during the obama years they really didn't have the opportunity -- the good job opportunities that a thriving economy would give them. it's also more importantly going to incentivize businesses to invest. that was what was missing during the obama years. we didn't have business investment and g.d.p. growth never got much above 2%. this bill comes on top of regulatory reform which has already got us about 3% g.d.p. growth and the anticipation of the bill has really created a lot of enthusiasm in the business community where the new york fed is now predicting that we'll have close to 4% g.d.p. growth in the current quarter. i t
