bruce. what i have tried to say to my kids as you did not lose old bruce, you got me. iama did not lose old bruceer was. more understanding, more giving, bigger heart, more co mforta ble more giving, bigger heart, more comfortable with yourself, happier than bruce ever was, plus i do not have any secrets with you. i am not hiding anything. i am totally open and that is a wonderful feeling to be in your life, and that is what the book is all about, getting to that point in life. everybody has staff, things they have to deal with the life that are tough. this is my stuff and the book is about how i dealt with it in all those years in good reason badly then getting to the point where i can live my life honestly. that is a hard transition to make. in the book you say that a couple of the kids asked if they can still call you dad. do they? yes. i will always be their dad. do they all call you dad? it's kind of gets tough dad for that is tough on them, but i am not going to hung up on that. i am there father and have been their father all their life. in the trans community they fight about getting the

bruce did everything bruce could do. you are a republican. oh, god, yes. honestly, that was more difficult, to come out as a republican than trans! 0k! you're also a supporter of donald trump and at first, he said, during the campaign, he supported the idea that lgbtq people could use, for example, the rest rooms that they wished, and that has now been rescinded. what do you think about that? is that the kind of thing you should be campaigning on? i do campaign on it. i'm all over that stuff. there is a political side to this. i did talk to trump. people say that i'm a supporter of donald trump. no, i like the republican party because i believe in limited government, i believe in the people of this country, not the government. if we're going to get out of this mess that we are in, it's going to be the people, not the government, that do it, and trump was our candidate so i'm going to vote for him, and i did. i thought he would be pretty good when it comes to lgbt issues. i talked to him in the campaign and he put out some federal guidelines which i think is important when it comes to dealing with lgbt issues and trans issues. he rescinded that. it ticked me off. i was tweeting about it, i went public about it. have you had any response from him? no. he wants me to play golf with him but i can't, because i'd be destroyed by my community. but isn't that the best way to get to him, on the golf course? i totally agree. from my standpoint, i would spend four hours with him and say, what the hell are you doing? well, do it! i would rather do it now privately. and you will? i will, i guarantee you i will. outwardly, you are different. inwardly, do you allow yourself to feel it or has it always been the way you've been? you talk about having the soul of a woman. have you changed in any way, do you think? i think i've changed a lot. i've been able to see the world from the other side. i lived for 65—years as old brucees a while, time, not two years in, to leave bruce behind. because he's still in there, ok? do you think there's a more nurturing side of you that's allowed to come out now, or have you always been like that? i've always had a nurturing side to meet but definitely it has come out more. i have ten children, ok. i had my 11th grandchild the other day. you know what's cool about grandchildren? they only know caitlyn. my relationships with all of my family, very close friends, in most cases has gotten better. i don't have all of the turmoil inside of me, i'm just free to be myself. caitlyn jenner, thank you very much indeed. before we go, britain's oldest swimming pool — victoria baths in manchester — will be open for swimming for the first time in 2a years this sunday. the ioi—year—old baths fell into disrepair in the 90s, but after winning the bbc‘s restoration competition in 2003, they are slowly on the way back to life. they will open for one day only, but organisers hope the money rai

we have video of a lot of the search efforts that went into the day yesterday it was a 12-hour day for a lot of the local law enforcement agencies as well as the fbi and police say it all started with a tip on wednesday morning from a local worker who spotted watson near a railroad tracks of course they have been searching for days but this tip really revamped that search evident. the search really took place not far from clifton t perkins psychiatric hospital where he escape police custody as he was being transported last friday. we have been spending days there watson was found hiding a few hundred yards from where the tipster spotted him off of dorsey run road near those tracks. and howard county police tactical team made the discovery found watson laying inside a small drainage pipe about excuse me and also found packing materials inside. we're told that he was wearing a white hard hat and safety vest when he was found which police say he stole from a nearby storage building. and this pipe that he was hiding in is where police and fbi say they had previously checked earlier in the day but officers recheck it hours later using night vision equipment. he surrendered tape into custody in good condition, of course, watson was serving a sentence of over 100 years for tempted murder here in delaware but also facing charges here in maryland for attempted murder as well. again,

bruce bittles. bruce, apple is what it is. it's a juggernaut. it missed on a few key metrics yesterday. what the american public is interested in beyond investment part, quarter of a trillion dollars, what do they do with that? why do they hold on to that much money? >> stock buybacks have been very important to the entire bull market. that money being repatriated overseas if tax bill or tax reform goes through, it could be very critical to the buyback program going on again. there has been a lull in that the first few months of this year. i think that will ratchet up pretty sharply if we get tax reform. charles: are you a fan or not? are you critical of companies buying back their own stock? >> no. the problem with companies buying back their own stock, they don't have anything else to do with the money. charles: they always haveing to do, right? they're making a calculated decision. is it low-hanging fruit for apple to borrow $100 billion at almost 0% interest, rewarded the shareholders, rather than making economic gambles like building new factories particularly here in america? >> if you build a sustainable economy you don't build it on buybacks but capital spending that lead to productivity gains and that leads to employment. that is how you have stable advance in the economy. charles: that gets us back to policy, federal policy, fiscal policy from the white house. the ability to get more regulations off the table and get these lower tax rates. >> we've seen monetary policy doesn't really work. it is not a very good tool for fixing structural problems in the economy. fiscal policy, on the other hand is really what you want to see. that is lacking the past eight years. charles: to your point, feels like the fed almost admitted as much, whether here or there, bernie sanders and janet yellen. seems like in the past they blamed obama for not doing his part. for underscoring the fact it wasn't a magic bullet. it did not create a virtuous cycle. >> it was counterproductive what the previous administration was doing. they were anti-business. they were contrary to what monetary policy was. you had gridlock. that is why the economy sat there for six years growing at 1.8%. charles: bruceing though. i like some of the numbers what i'm seeing. like what i'm hearing for ceos. i like soft and hard data. i say to people, remember the old debate, businesses aren't people? i say they're not people but they're organism ins, right? they to grow, expand and dominate. that is the natural state of business. so the idea that hillary clinton lost to a degree we still get back to the natural state of business where they do want to expand. they want to take market share. that could create economic growth. >> you saw what happened after the election. sentiments turned and seared to the upside not only for consumers but small businesses and ceos. there was global expansion in bullish sentiment. bullish sentiment typically precedes growth. that is why you see in the first quarter results. you saw cap-ex spending jump 9.7%. we haven't seen that since 2013 f that continues, the economy is on the right path. charles: then sprinkle in maybe a few victories for the white house on taxes. >> r
