you know, we've tried lots of different ideas around 401(k)'s, barack obama introduced lots of tweaks to 401(k) system, lots of my-ra trying to get people invested and the idea you would have a savings rate for 2% for people getting in the marketplace to experiment with investing, but i don't really see that introducing more vehicles really helps. it's already complicated enough. i think there needs to be more education at the elementary and secondary levels, that, to me, is the way to go and to help people understand the importance of it. no one-- nobody's coming in to save you if you don't save. you have to do it on your own and you have to have strong enough economy so people can participate and have something to save to begin with. but without knowledge, i think, and especially at a young age, it's very difficult to get people to move forward. thank you for the question. >> go ahead. >> what policies do we need to adopt to get back to 4% growth in this country? >> 4% is what donald trump says he wants to have, 4% growth, gdp growth. which is a high hurdle. and i believe it's all a

barack obama. they were double standards. the obama administration's e.p.a.'s refusal to not receive and process the personal injury or economic loss claims arising out of this spill at the gold king mine in southwest colorado is appalling. and i simply wish the outrage was there when the e.p.a. walked away from the people that it had injured in colorado. we haven't heard talk about it here. we've heard a lot of complaints here. but nobody is saying that they should be paying for the damage in colorado that they created. after all, we're discussing an e.p.a. that with the strike of a pen oftentimes with very little input from those people who would be affected, used overly burdensome regulations and heavy-handed enforcement to punish private businesses, despite the assurances and promises from the then-e.p.a. administrator gina mccarthy that the agency takes full responsibility for the gold king mine spill, the agency in 2017 turns its back on the promises it made and denies. promises were made in utah, including the southern indian tribe, the ute and navajo na

s democratic line from ohio. i want to make a comment on the gridlock. as soon as barack obama was being sworn in the republicans in the war room owing no never pass anything especially the affordable care a act. -- every that came to he floor was rejected because barack obama was the president. we could have gotten further if have quit trying to be political on both sides, even democrats, even throw i'm a democrat -- even though i'm a wasted that time on the immigration bill and turned around and all that time that was spent. they all should have been fired not doing their job. they should have at least taken a to the floor and gotten filibuster or even a nuclear option. today. my comment for host: gary, thank you. jill lawrence. is t: one thing i would say the work never seems to be wasted. it seems like nothing is that immigration compromise pay serve as the basis for something that happens later. it will be different, but the people starting out with it nothing. starting from so, nothing is ever thrown out. and things come back years later. so there is that. republican the

s the name of the doctor, not the monster. there was ground swell. renunciation of the ability to be empathetic to black people, understanding that barack obama was worthy of respect. many black people understood if he's not respectful of this man not respectful of african-americans in general but there was ground swell of resentment about a black man in charge. if white america can't love and appreciate barack obama there's not a black man created they'll be attracted to. as affable and genial as one can imagine and despite very low toned in dealings with white america failed to tell them the truth and hold them accountable for the vicious consequences of -- i doesn't inspect him to stand up with a black power sign but deploy the bully pulpit to be as truthful to white folk as black folk. >> farparis what would you say, part of president's counsel now, invited into the room. what do you say? tell him he's sometimes tone deaf and like steve bannon said maybe he should listen a little bit instead of doing all the talking. >> title of this meeting was a listening session. that's what he was doing. what's he's done multiple times throughout the campaign. w

s that. it's because there would be implications on that if the executive orders are tantamount to making the law. for example, when barack obama issued a series of executive orders, 24 of them, affectingle immigration, a trial judge in texas ruled this is not h the president telling the department of homeland security how to enforce the law, this is theif president changing the law in a way that the congress specifically rejected. that was repelled by the united states court of appeals and then the supreme court split on a 4-4 tie, which upheld with the fifth circuit said. what president trump is doing so far not only is everything he promised he would be doing but within the contours of the law telling the people who work for him in the executive branch and how he wants them to exercise their discretion. >> tucker: interesting. i should just say to my viewers, i know you've met with the president a couple times, we i have a pretty good advantage on this. what do you think this new justice, if confirmed, will make of some of the key cases coming before the court in the next year? >> there are some very interesting cases coming
