reagans presidency. by the end of his presidency there were just 2. is donald trump's tax plan new? is mr. trump mimicking reagan's plan? >> he is. he's starting in a worse position than reagan was. reagan had two rates. he also had a capital gains tax of 28%. what trump put forward is not only taking individual rates down and reducing the number. but his 15% business tax is truly revolutionary. it gets to one of the main problems in the american tax system which is the 35% rate we have is the highest in the industrialized world. we are not competitive with the european average is 25%. and trump takes it to 15%. we'll be the most competitive country after this tax cut. reporter: i can see where the attacks for this plan will come from. we have statistics from omb. corporations in the the united states act for 10.6% of total tax revenue to the u.s. government. people we would call the wealthy generate almost 38% of tax revenue and the middle class about 18.6%. these are the rough numbers. when we lower the corporate tax to 15%, do you think the percentage of total revenue would grow? the gov

mr. reagan after his trickle-down economics, was that failed-- wihch that has failed.t has the wealthy can give them aid that the house that were illegal immigrants. the immigrants that are illegal are coming here to get jobs that the crony capitalists who do not want to pay taxes are getting them. they are dotting the whole issue. these are the real people who are breaking the law's. you move a little forward, and it is just franchised politics up and down the line. congress ain't working. we are at a 10% approval rating for congress. as an american, i believe that our congress is not in one,iance with article section two of the constitution. everybody just goes, what? we need more voices in our congress. host: thanks, caller. guest: yes. on the issue i talk about in the report today, i would agree. congress has made really bad decisions over the past five or six years that have not been good for the recovery. basically, they have -- i don't know what their motivation is, but they decided to pretty radically restrict spending relative to its growth and other recoverie

mr. obama, ronald reagan had about 4.5% growth. so look at it that way. but it is all these regulations that he promised to give us. he certainly has. you know, for example, you can't open a community bank. you can't get funding for a small business. if you do, it is so expensive to hire someone with health care costing so much. remember he was supposed to fix that? and of course there is the very strong dollar which he was supposed to fix, with china. that is keeping us from growing. it's that simple. melissa: anytime you point this out to the left, you say that the economy is horrible, they either say, look at what he inherited, or they say the unemployment rate is so low, what are you complaining about. how do you respond to those two things? >> first of all you look at labor market. the labor participation rate still stinks. wages are still low even though signs of life after eight years of supposed recovery. when you look beneath the superficial numbers it is very, very poor economy. worst recovery from a sharp downturn in american history. if republ

mr. trump is right. most of the media want him to lose. that was true of george w. bush and george h.w. bush and ronald reagan. the difference is mr.made it so easy for the media. >> we heard similar comments from newt gingrich who said trump, it is your job not to give the press anything to use against you. i don't necessarily subscribe to the view of how the media operates, if you do, that is what the journalist is saying. they are criticizing trump for giving the media ammunition against him. we heard this for days, for weeks now. the question is whether it is getting through to donald trump. he has this opportunity today with the speech on terror to try to focus more on policy. you see him all weekend long tweeting about the media. those are a lot of missed opportunities to talk about hillary clinton and policy. that is why his fans, supporters, get frustrated. >> you were seeing trump today. the campaign is billing the big speech on how he will go after terrorism. this is one of many quote resets that we have talked about. how effective will it be in the sort of dust cloud of media hate? how effective will his message he is tr

he promised the biggest tax reforms since ronald reagan and called for sweeping changes to boost middle-class workers. mr. trump: i'm proposing an across-the-board income tax reduction especially for middle income americans. this will lead to millions of new and really good paying jobs. the rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs or undermines our ability as a nation to compete. laura: donald trump there. japan's traditional power structure has been shaken to the core after the country's emperor appeared on television and hinted that he would like to retire. the 82-year-old monarch, who has been treated for cancer, did not explicitly say he wanted to abdicate, as he is in from making political statements. our correspondent reports from tokyo. reporter: never before has a japanese emperor gone on television like this to make a direct plea to his people. >> in coping with the aging of the emperor, i think it is not possible to continue reducing perpetually the emperor's acts. reporter: the language is vague but the message is clear. the 82-year-old emperor wants to

former ronald reagan economic advisor. you have always been mr. free trade the more we can grow but donald trump is looking at trade a little bit differently right now are you comfortable with the way he is seen it? >> i'm comfortable with the way he's going. if you looked at the last speech he was far more free trade. he understood the benefits of total world trade and this man has done international business and in my view he is moving much closer towards free trade while hillary clinton is moving back towards the entrance all economics. she was once upon a time in favor of the pt. i thought that was one of his greatest accomplishments with nafta. now she's moving back in the other way. she gave the best pro trump speech today i have heard. i can't imagine a better contrast and anyone giving trump more ammunition than she did in this speech. i will get more freebies to people who already had too many i will raise the minimum wage to guarantee the poor in the minorities hurt even more. >> do you take votes from that. she's trying to buy votes but

mr. trump is right. to lose but then that was also true of george w. bush. george h.w. bush and ronald reagan. the difference is that mr. trump has made it so easy for the media and his opponents. he needs to stop blaming everyone else and decide if he wants to behave like someone who wants to be president or turn the nomination over to mike pence. >> wow. mark leibovich is cbs news political contributor, also the new york times magazine. he joins us at the table. good morning. >> hey, charlie. >> what do you make of all of this? >> well, there is a classic republican play book aspect of this, which is republicans attacking the media, thinking that they are all against them. the thing about trump is it's not background noise. he is leading with this. he seemed to spend all day yesterweetday tg about how awful the media , very precisely going after our paper, whatever paper ticks him off. >> your parp also had a story on sunday how they try his people around him including his family are trying to get him to stay on message. >> yeah. >> never good when they use the word sullen to describe the can

mr. trump himself, they never served. i want people who served in our military. i cannot stand this. reagan never served. granted, mr. obama and clinton did not serve. it is trying -- time to end that here and there should be a law that requires that they had served. they do not have a clue, the mr.f they come up with, trump, his comments about our military and our heroes, it is unbelievable that anyone would consider this man for president. it just cannot stand her and sorry. thank you sir. i understand where he coming from, of course, all citizens would like to see their commander in chief actually have experience, in the battlefield or service and not all of our presidents have had the privilege to do so. he named in number of presidents who do not serve, the fact that they are well advised. the fact that they have served in a private or public sector that would make them available, not just in the agencies now, but also those he for. i hope we will be able to future to have more candidates -- host: howard, independent caller. caller: i am not really a political person and never have in. arising that been of john

mr. trump's new talking point, bill clinton signed nafta. that's true. i am 56 years old and it was reagan and bush that pushed nafta to the goal line. this is strictly a republican idea so why is this republican candidate trashing it? i don't understand. host: mr. morrissey. guest: first off i mean bill clinton was a fan of nafta as well. he endorsed it. there were a lot of democrats that went along with it because free trade has a pretty strong history in both parties. more so in the republican party but also the democrat party. bill clinton saw nafta as a net positive for the united states. while there is certainly some benefited have not from that there has been a lot of americans who have. american policy didn't focus on working to lift up the people who were not benefiting from free-trade because they were focused so much on taking credit for the vast majority of americans who were benefiting from it. it is the left out dynamic that has been driving this populist fervor. it has been coming for quite a long time. because you have that coming you will have politicians in both parties r

it reminds me of the revolution ronald reagan brought about in 1980.

[cheering] giuliani: it is a tight little crowd in washington. i worked there for president ford and president reagan. it is a tight little crowd in washington. they protect each other. they do not care about you. they care about themselves. they go into government. they go out of government. they come into government. they make a lot of money. and they take a lot of your money. and hillary clinton wants to take more of your money.

there was a study during the reagan administration by mr. grace and company. a billionaire, time, energy, and the report came out that said the answer to balancing our budget is one-third of all federal employees don't need that job. charles: when we shut down the government, we saw the list of nonessential workers. grace moved to boca, right? >> yeah. charles: i want to pick up what you said, fema not giving enough money. a lot of people in louisiana who want to vote for donald trump want the government to give them more than $33,000. >> that's correct. charles: in our own personal lives we see the folly of government waste and spending but times what needed to be larger with respect to us. that's one of the conundrums, isn't it? >> certainly is. when you look at it this way, once people get used to somebody else giving them stuff, they're entitled to it, they get lazy. when they get lazy they want more stuff, more regulations. in reality, if they realize, hey, let's give stuff when we need it, after that, go to the workforce. charles: that would be great. th

you can see president reagan cut taxes but the federal deficit went up. how is mr. of republicans concerned about the deficit? you were 1980's, recovering from a high inflation rate. a lot of that was due to the past inflation. also, you were at work at beating the soviet union in terms of cold war. in our current circumstances, you could do a better job on the spending side. one of the critical things we are lacking is any actual debt limit. look at the problems they have had over the last four years fighting about whether debt should go up in government wins every time and there is no regulatory process. i've written a lot about the need to redo the debt limit so we have some kind of spending control going on. >> if you're talking about cutting spending -- >> cutting cost. big difference. government spending is going up really fast right now. if you had any kind of workable allocation of spending, you would get a better result from the fiscal side. we have got to have a stronger fiscal side for the government. >> but specifically you are not spending as much money
