steve cortez, you are not worried about a tax cut? >> we are going to get it is my answer.appy x goldman sachs coo gary coleman drives the bus when it comes to tax reform. he is a democrat by background, very pragmatic, we are going to get this through the house and the senate, the president was elected largely on this mandate and i do not believe those house and senate members want to go back to the constituents and say they impeded the people's will and stop the president from getting tax reform so we are going to get it one way or another. stuart: still above 20,703. amazon is lowering the price, $30,000 from amazon, you can have free two day shipping even though you may not be a prime member. look who is here. and the box to call the costco of online selling. >> that is right and every time i am on the show the dow hits new highs so i should be on more often. and for all the viewers out there, as i left the studio, you said look where readings will be in the next few years. stuart: i deliver regular commercials. stuart: they were competitive viewers. $35 of stuff, two d

joining me for more analysis steve cortez and ethan berman. steve he's talking about the moral duty that he has that the entire white house has to the taxpayer kind of remind me of the fiduciary duty that a ceo has to his or her shareholders. in other words, he's bringing some fiscal discipline in there that i would argue you see quite often in corporate america yet we have failed to see year in and year out in washington, d.c. >> trish, i think you're so right. isn't it incredibly refresh to go see this? every american in their normal lives has to deal with it in your household or in business, we have to deal with the reality of income and expenditures, the federal government, washington, d.c. for far too long i say has acted like the capital in the hunger games. trump went there, not to tinker around the edges, but to smash crony capitalist system that's beo great for washington, d.c. and bad for the rest of the country. i think you're exactly right. it's it wonderful that we have an europe, a business person in the seat that says we are goi

sergeant cortez says because the suspect involved was killed, that is no longer an issue. ella sogomonian, kron 4 news. >>> it's the greatest comeback in super bowl history. the new england patriots came back from a 25-point deficit to beat the atlanta falcons 34-28 in overtime. two bay area natives made big plays in the game tonight. tom brady now the first quarterback to win five super bowls and an unbelievable catch by julian edelman who somehow kept the ball off the turf on a diving grab of a tipped pass that bounced off a defenders issue. the atlanta falcons lost again in their second super bowl, after leading 28-3 in the third quarter. after matt ryan's second touchdown pass. >> in tom brady's hometown of san mateo things were a lot different during the first half of the super bowl compared to the second half. i stop by tom brady's neighborhood where he grew up and the family, good family friend of the bradys they say tom used to play football in the streets with their boys. i was over at their house for a viewing party. tom brady does not forget the names either. a

joining me now steve cortez. steve, you know everyone there well.o be old school conservative. not to be like europe where you know some of these places our birth rate is down, why is this a good idea right now? >> i do think our birth rate is ticking up again. i'll be first to admit to you, i am a bit conflicted. i love legal immigration, one of the reasons i hate illegal immigration and because of how much i love legal immigrants, people like my father, so many fathers, grandmothers ex who did it the right way, by the rule of law. we should have a conversation on this, i do not necessarily agree with his senators, it okay to take about it, if you want to restrict immigration to some degrees that does not make you a racist. we have 40 million nondomestic -- foreign born people living in u.s. that is about our historic percentage highs. percentage wees about where we were in the industrial revolution when we needed workers like crazy. it is not unreasonable to have a consler sayin conversation with almost 50 million americans on food stamps. charles

i know right now we have senator cortez-masto here. we're grateful that she's with us. and of course, senator gillibrand who's been with the committee for a number of years. we're grateful for that help, especially on these critically important issues for our families. the aging committee has historically been a committee that fosters both collaboration and bipartisanship on issues facing older americans and that was, again, abundantly clear by the voice vote we held off of the senate floor two weeks ago to approve the committee budget and the committee rules. and i think i was late for that hearing but -- >> i wasn't going to mention that. >> -- somehow my voice got recorded but i want to thank the chairman for that. it's my sincere hope that that will continue and i'm sure that it will. the future of key programs for older americans like medicare, medicaid and others are also critically important to the agenda of this committee. we have a responsibility, i believe, to protect these vital programs for older americans. today, we have the opportunity to hear from experts

steve cortez is with us, money guy himself on wall street.teve, i'm beginning to get a little nervous about the legislative schedule. first, it's going to be obamacare repealed, and then we get some tax cuts. who knows when we get infrastructure and maybe dodd-frank down the road. i don't think that's very good news for investors. the stall, delay, oppose everything is not good for wall street. >> right, you know, i concur, stuart. the democrats, that d you see after the name on television, i think it does stand for delay or defer rather than democrat, but the republicans on the hill have culpability, i think it's republicans, too, it's washington d.c. against the trump movement. i think that trump will prevail. i was thrilled he told fox news on pre-super bowl. he says tax reform-- >> he wanted it this year and couldn't give a guarantee and this year is one month old. you know, it's -- i want to -- you have to admit, look, we're going on about the democrats opposing and restricting everything. but what about the republicans? they are split.

out of that fox news contributor, steve cortez. steve, it's a big task, right? of it and replacing it. and then of course setting the timetable so that you allow enough time to do the tax cuts stuff. a busy roll-out. >> neil, it wasn't easy to get in it and it won't be easy to get out of it. governor walker is right as usual, by the way. i live in chicago. governor walker has been kicking the tar out of illinois when it comes to attracting businesses to his state. so as usual, he's right. the impact to obamacare and part of business formation, to get to obamacare, he's right. the american people know first hand how this impacts their lives. in a poll released today by the "wall street journal," 72% of americans said it didn't impact them or impacted them negatively. as a veteran of the trump campaign, in october last year, all of these massive premium creases went out and the sticker shock was palpable. it's something we promised to fix and have to fix. >> neil: the old line, you try to fix it and you won't. they're worried about that. they worry about whatever

joining me fox news contributor steve cortez and liz peek of the "fiscal times." liz, we had charlie gasparino say it is about tax cuts. i agree with him and it is. so far we haven't heard the president except for here and there, put the hardcore press on the way he has done with the media. if he did the same thing for tax cuts as with the bad he will with the media, i don't think there would be a doubt that market would be higher, do you? >> i think tax cuts are essential for this market going higher and earnings going higher. it makes tomorrow night's speech very, very important. again trump is going to the people. yes, he is speaking to the congress. this will be a much-watched address. if he lays out an agenda includes tax cuts and obamacare repair, it will be hard for congress to dig in their heels. it is complicated, we can't make it happen. david: steve, he has this terrific people to go above the heads of whether it is the mainstream media or intelligent is a or congress, dirtly to the pele, if his able to do that tomorrow, speak directly to the marketers,

senator cortez masto. >> thank you. very excited to be a member of this committee. so thank yo thank you very much. thank you to all of you for what you do. i was fortunate to be able to work with the ftc as the attorney general of nevada and had great partnership and many of you we have worked with on so many different levels. this area was important for me as the attorney general. that's i created a unit in my office to address elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. every single one of the scams that you identify here happens in nevada. we had some great partners. i want to talk on a couple of levels. the first is the public education. to me this is a first step in prevention and it is so hard to do. it really is. there are many of us that are trying to do our outreach and get up and talk to folks but it has to be on a constant basis. you can't just say i'm throwing is out there, we would do it all over that affect them. education occurs all the time. i always say this, just about to every senior center in nevada to reach out to our seniors. it's not just reaching

secretary of the commonwealth in pennsylvania, pedro cortez who works very close with latino stakeholders on the implementation of online voter registration, in rhode island secretary the website has like close to 40-50 languages from africans to zulu that you could get information in. so what with the latino community to figure out what is the best information strategy is critical. i want to conclude by talking about a very more fundamental issue of trust that latinos have with respect to the electoral process and i want to talk about the latinos who are not participating. if we look at the last several presidential election cycles, more than half, slightly more than half of latinos who are eligible, voting age citizens are not voting for even though the number of latino voters is increasing, those who are eligible still have about over half are not actually casting ballots. we didn't focus group work and surveys and talk to these latinos, and a large constellation of them don't trust the electoral process. what do we mean by that? it has nothing to do with equipment or the machinery. it

joining me right now the tommy bin onfrom the heritage foundation and steve cortez, trump adviser. it may not be rocket science, guys, but look, the reality is, dan, he made a promise out there on the campaign trail, and he says he's a man of his word. he said he wasn't going to go touch these entitlements, that social security was safe. is that what he has to follow through on at this point? >> well, what he said is that he wasn't going to cut entitlements. i'm hoping that means that he can at least slow down the rate of growth. the way i look at what we think we know of the trump budget, it's going to be good, bad, good and question mark. good, less discretionary domestic spending. bad, not touching entitlements. good, tax cuts. and then what's he going to do, is he going to do anything on the long run growth, that's the problem. trish: i've got to tell you, i am impressed. i don't know if the view arer can hear all the sirens, but we all certainly d, dan, yomade it all the way through despite the news.

joining the legal fight against the president trump's immigration, liz peek, "fiscal times," steve cortez a former advisor to the trump campaign and fox news contributor. liz, i will start with you. tech giants out there really weighing in on the other side of donald trump isn't it all about the bottom line? they want to take advantage of this labor? >> well, it was short-lived honeymoon with the tech community, that's for sure. look, i think they think their constituents are very opposed to this move. yes, i think it is about the bottom line, about whether the h1b visa program will be impacted which by the way really isn't involved in this whatsoever. everyone is sort of losing their minds here. this is a 90-day interruption in the issuance of visas. and numerous carveouts have already been made that basically narrowed the thing. i think it is really kind of insay everybody is going so overboard on this here is the problem. it takes focus away from the business-friendly agenda of the trump administration. it undermines confidence that the ceo, president, has a smooth running organization

the first asian-american women senate in 2012 will be joined by kathryn cortez masto of nevada, the firstlatina center in the u.s., and pamela harris of california, the first black woman to serve and you senate in your education and tammy duckworth of the lord will be the first time an american senator. one more note on women in partisanship in congress. women in both parties research has found have been more likely to talk about women and more likely to prioritize issues that this martia effect one. i want to especially in the house really emphasize that women have been on opposite sides of these two issues. so, for example, during the debate on the affordable care act we saw wit women in both pas were disproportionately likely to speak but the rule, amendments of dealing with abortion, but in all of these speeches that women were on different sides of these issues. so again more women may be more active in democratic and republican women today are very divided on these issues. going back to the 1990s women in the republican party were more likely to be on both sides of these issues by t

cortez masto: thank you. mr. president, i rise today along with many of my colleagues to speak out against the white house nominating steven mnuchin to be the next secretary of the u.s. treasury. president trump has nominated the former c.e.o. of onewest bank who before that for 17 years was a goldman sachs executive to run the federal agency tasked with crafting and implementing u.s. economic policy. so much for draining the swamp. i want to start out, however, by sharing the story of a good friend, lola orvic, who i met when i was attorney general of nevada. in 2013, lola's mortgage on her townhouse in henderson was under water. like thousands of other nevadans, she needed to refinance, but five different loan modification applications had all been rejected by her bank. lola was desperate for a solution and on the verge of losing her home. she received a telephone call offering help that was too good to be true, and it was. after calling my office, she thankfully discovered that it was a scam. i am so glad she
