schultz?ter or differently than president trump to put money back into people's pockets? >> yeah. well, i'm glad you asked that question because there are two economies in america today. there is president trump's and republican leaders' economy, which the president generally uses the stock market as a proxy for the economy. and i give the president credit for the economy being robust for many, many americans. but what did he do? at a time in america when we have $22 trillion of debt, he gave a tax cut to corporate america of 21%. i was a corporate ceo. i did not think that was a good idea. and he lowered taxes for the wealthy. the wealthy in this country should be paying more in taxes and getting less. we should thought do anything that puts more tax burden on the middle class and working class families. we should do everything we can from the state and federal level to ensure the fact that people who now believe that they do not have access to the american dream or the promise of america tha

sullivan: admiral schultz. of course on the issue of safety, with regard to our maritime and fishing industry, it's critical, it's one of your most important missions certainly. there was a regulatory review test that was set up by the coast guard in response to the presidential executive order 13777. and as you know, a good -- a large actually majority portion of america's fishing fleet resides in the northwest arctic area off the coast of alaska. our fishing industry actually met with the wonderful men and women of the united fishermen of alaska, i know you've met with them as well. they sent a list of unnecessary and obsolete regulations to the coast guard in 2017. again, not to cut corners on safety, but things that they thought being on the front lines that we could work on to streamline regulations. and they are still waiting a response from the coast guard as it relates to this regulatory reform initiative. can i get your commitment to have a high level member of the coast guard meet with u.f.a. to discu

we all know starbucks, a lot of people do not know howard schultz.rin: he has not gone into the race just yet, and if he got in it would be months away. once you get into the race things change, news coverage changes, he is not a candidate yet so he has knocked on the name recognition or the coverage. there is a very heavy advertising component, so i am sure if he decides to get into the race, the name recognition level will change. david: one of the things people do to break out of the pack, because there is a big pack, just on the democrat side, is have distinctive policy positions. from someard democratic candidates on distinctive policy positions. is there a position that would define howard schultz if he decided to run? erin: he is talking a lot about the $22 trillion national debt and what he would do to bring that down. he is not ruled out any policy positions because he is studying those things and trying to come up with solutions. he is going to talk about entitlements. that is a huge driver of the debt and he wants to come up with positions

schultz is holding a townhall meeting tonight. fox news channel and we do have our own hillary vaughn on the ground with us in kansas city where that town hall will be held. hillary? reporter: hey, connell. we just caught up with howard schultz outside of starbucks. i got the chance to ask him if he has any hints or details about a possible 2020 run, if he is ready to announce his plans but unfortunately he did not spill any details. saying he is focused on preparing for the town hall happening tonight. he had his starbucks coffee in hand to calf fenn nate before he talks to missouri voters here. he will field questions at a town hall live exclusively on fox news channel 6:30 p.m. this evening. he is staying tight-lipped about the his 2020 plans he has been busy blogging. the possible third party candidate has been accused by democrats being a spoiler who think an independent may ruin their shot taking over the white house in 2020. schultz really had one target over the past two days, calling out president trump over policy, espec

what can you tell us about tonight with howard schultz? >> schultz, sandra, is able to come to a state that is important for the again election because he is not in a primary. so he is appealing to general election voters, trying to. and focusing this week on immigration. he posted to the website medium president trump's impulsive and i'll considered threat to close the border with mexico is a big mistake. as schultz looks at the electoral map he is looking at 42% of americans who identify as independent who might be looking for an alternative other than a democrat or republican. so instead of trying to create a hybrid platform that uses bits of plans from each side, he spends a lot of time criticizing both sides and that is what we might hear a little bit of this evening, sandra. >> sandra: peter doocy, thank you. be sure to watch as we kick off our first town hall of the 2020 season tonight. live from kansas city where the stage is set for the american people to see what former starbucks ceo and potential independent candidate howard sch

i wonder why howard schultz didn't pay the starbucks people a whole lot better. i mean, that was where he could have started. this is absurd and it's just always, it ticks me off when i hear billionaires who have kept theirs and they want no one else to be able to get theirs. >> it's frustrating, there is such ignorance out there on the left and the right about just what capitalism is. one of the bits of ignorance is believing that america really is a capitalist society. it's a mixed society. there's some freedom and plenty of controls as well. the democrats, though, you can put howard schultz on that list, the democrats are explicitly for socialism. that's not a dirty word for them. they are against property rights writ large. as far as having a democracy, the founders were on to something. they said we were a republic, not a democracy. ben franklin famously said a democracy is like two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for lunch. david: that's a good one. >> mind you, i think that the democrats are a little bit of a decade late in addressing this problem

that was howard schultz. teasing up possible presidential run.vertaking the office. he thinks there is room for an independent candidate on the ballot. how do people believe that the u.s. government is doing well by you and your family and the american people. how many. so i would say the majority of people correct me if i'm wrong. don't feel as if the country is needing work at a minimum exceeding their expectations. thank you for joining me. did you watch that town hall. and do you think he gave a good performance. >> i think he is an appealing man. he has a good charisma. and he is presenting this sort of idea that america is starved for an independent and he is that person. he is making the pitch right now. i'm not sure whether america is starred for an independent. democrats aren't supplying that moderate. and they're seeing that gap and saying i can fill that gap. i can do that. they have a litmus test for their candidate saying are you willing to pack the supreme court. are you willing to abolish that. democrats are treating it just like t

howard schultz has not declared he's going to run yet. but he is trying to get out there and see if there's enough attention to his economic ideas, his foreign policy ideas. how do you plan to break that up tonight to cover as much ground as possible? >> well, first of all, we're going to use people here in kansas city. democrats, independents, republican, will be in attendance, asking a whole bunch of different questions. we'll be able to follow up and redirect. the former ceo of starbucks is going to have to field some substantive questions about big policy issues. he has not officially jumped in this race. clearly he believes he has a lane or sees one because he's traveling around the country acting like a candidate. >> dana: that's a good place to be, kansas city, missouri. i want to ask you about joe biden, the former vice president. he's not a candidate. he had this video yesterday apologizing for a misinterpretation of his intentions. watch this. >> social orders have begun to change. the boundaries of protecting personal space hav

howard schultz is the former chairman and ceo of starbucks and author "from the ground up."nk you for joining me. >> thank you very much. >>> i know you wrapped up this tour through kansas and we'll talk about what you got from the fathe -- the farmers and their heartache and i want to start on the senator sanders announcement and afterward you tweeted all that sanders -- and the far left care about is furthering their agenda. but this recent kaiser poll shows that 56% of americans support a plan specifically called medicare for all through which all americans would get their insurance through a single government plan and when you look at the poll, that includes nearly a quarter of republicans in favor. so when you look at the numbers, how can you say that this is far left or out of touch? >> well, for someone who has built a public company in which for the last 25 years we have provided comprehensive health insurance to every single employee in the united states, i know a little bit about this subject. and let me just comment on a few things. one, on the republican side, th

there's got to be enticing for howard schultz.arty but he is shaking things up, isn't he? >> he is in his criticism is spot on. if you get to the 2020 election and he has the idea that it becomes a referendum on socialism, donald trump wins. the president of the united states knows that. he said as much this week. he said we have to educate the public on the horrors of socialism and if you can do that successfully, you win back the reelection. the president is in for another four years. >> charles: president trump, having some fun but also being truthful when he said we don't want to knock the green new deal too much. do you think if the democrats, this class going for the nomination now, stay on the far left course, that president trump is automatically reelected? >> absolutely. the american people love the american dream because we are fundamentally s. the democrats can call this whatever they want but really their policy agenda and legislation they are advancing is a political and economic theory that's fundamentally antithetic

i heard that from howard schultz last night. joe biden has to be aware that that's a real danger for him and his approach. so i think when you're hearing him talk about how we act towards each other, the conduct that we use when we engage with each other politically and how we do stuff, i think that's a very important issue for him. it's a very important issue to the voters who matter most to him. people in the subpush, across the u.s. those are the voters who matter for joe biden. he can't let howard schultz or someone else take him away. >> dana: what's the mood in kansas city? >> i have done some field work. i think my visit to joe's barbecue shortly will probably be what really brings that in. that will really cement my hard hitting research of the american electorate will happen today probably over ribs. >> dana: you have to let us know how those are. chris stirewalt, thank you. >> you bet. >> dana: president trump is set to arrive this hour at california's southern border while issuing a new warning to mexico. this coming

that's why howard schultz is here.avid. david, he works in construction. he says it really frustrates him when all these individuals, politicians say there is no problem at the border. but they don't go to the border. why does that bother you? >> yeah. it's pretty frustrating whether you have politicians up in san francisco, new york, d.c. saying oh, there is no crisis at the border. yet, you have every border patrol agent, commissioner of the border patrol saying we have a problem down here. we need help down here. and obviously they don't care. that's pretty frustrating as an american. todd: dave, thank you. ben, similar thoughts. ben is pretty fired up about his business of construction. both of these guys work in construction. he says immigrants are vital to the construction business. they just have to come the right way. why do you say that? >> that's right. hispanic immigrants in particular are very big part of the labor force in general u you know, nobody should be judged or discriminated about where they are fr

former starbucks ceo howard schultz is hoping to capitalize on that.ng a 2020 run as an independent. here's what he had to say about political polarization at a fox news town hall on thursday. >> i think it's a great opportunity given how extreme both parties are. the vast majority of americans are in the middle. i am a centrist. i had been a lifelong democrat, but the democratic party left me, i didn't leave them. >> democrats only serve as a spoiler and putting donald trump back in the white house. schultz thinks maybe the opposite would happen. >> there's no spoiler. it's a false narrative. there are lifelong republicans, lifelong republicans, who given a choice between donald trump and a democrat will more than likely vote for donald trump, despite the fact that the character and morality of this president is inconsistent with their own values. if i choose to run -- if i choose to run, millions of lifelong republicans will come my way. >> howard schultz joins me now. he's the author of "from the ground up, a journey to reimagine the promise of amer

except howard schultz.er, so palpable you could see where they would help and aid the activists in targeting starbucks. neil: couple a minutes away from the president. i wanted to go on to discuss something with you about what the president has been talking about with getting tough at the border, meeting with the south korean leader talking about a third summit. his poll numbers picked up a little bit. i'm wondering on economic matters, they have picked up is that enough to close the deal? i always argue he would be up 10 points more in the polls if not for all the other stuff? >> listen, he is a wild card. sometimes compare him, he never polled well against hillary and people held their nose an voted for him because they shout she was worse. maybe one of the democrats are worse. we haven't vetted kamala harris or cory booker. we don't know what is in their closet. trump is a known entity. i can say this, i know larry kudlow pretty well. i know what he is trying to do, working feverishly trying to get the t

maybe we saw how howard schultz really thinks. what do you make of it?s of both parties make the parties unacceptable to the middle. connell: yeah. >> in a three-way race, genuine three-way race, you don't have to get 50%. 30, 40 states will be a battleground states instead of eight or 10. connell: it is an uphill battle. >> it is uphill battle. connell: you interviewed him on your podcast. he is not aligned with the party. he has to do what you said he has to do. does he have the pizazz be the it factor? >> could be the kind of case where the very fact he has run a great company, started it really, that he is an adult who is not flashy, people may say, look what we have in the white house. opponents of trump, look at craziness on the democratic left, gosh, nice to have a calm adult. connell: he would need bernie sanders to be the nominee, being realistic about it. >> or somebody like that. the whole party. connell: are you -- >> all 18 of them are very variations. connell: he a unique character on economic issues. >> different flavors, to the extreme. s

howard schultz would have a message for democrats but he won't do it. migrate feamymy great fear is tt someone like ed rendell runs. you have to talk about solutions. >> martha: that may be. but they are pointing to all these guys biden and all -- call them the b boys. bernie sanders saying that, you know, those guys are done, you know, that they are sort of the party of the past, ed. >> interestingly, if you look at all of the town hall meetings being done on cnn and other met yorks, best town hall meeting performance is by amy klobuchar who i would correct mike is probably certainly a moderate left of center candidate. >> martha: absolutely. >> she tells the truth. she said college kid asked her about free tuition. and she had the guts to say no. >> martha: do you think she can break through? >> >> the problem is she is not getting the media coverage that the other more progressive candidates are getting. if amy gets a fair shake and joe biden stays out of it, i think amy could be the candidate but i am not sure she will get a fair shake. >> martha: w

schultz is saying?t he says is trying to score political points closing down the border, writing, president trump's impulsive and ill-considered threat to close the border with mexico is a big mistake. schultz says that move wouldn't solve the immigration problem but just create a big economic one, say stalling exports out of the u.s. into mexico would be a massive hit to businesses and workers and put about $600 billion of cross-border trade at a standstill. tonight schultz will get a chance not only point out props in both parties platforms because he is thinking about running as an independent, but also put forth some ideas of his own. the town hall will be airing tonight at 6:30 p.m. hosted on fox news channel. stuart: hillary, i will be intrigued to find out what he wants to do at the border. i know he doesn't want to close it. i know what he wants to do. great stuff, hillary. see you soon. >>> fbi is looking into whether president trump's mar-a-lago resort is vulnerable to foreign spies. after a w

i like howard schultz, i think he it a great job, i like to think he is a grey poupon candidate. run as well as governments abroad. it done better by other governments, part of that is because we have most dynamic private sector, which is good. impeachmentmenpeople want to wor starbucks or google and not the government. that does not give us carte blanche to run government as badly as we do. the train should not be this bad. democrat need to improve how government does with budget they have to increase budget. i think that public would be good on it then. >> gary and jonas, have you missed the plot, by design. government cannot be good at allocates resources you can never have a handful of people who will be as appreciate and effective as the me market. imlg that governmenanything thas involved with will be lesser quality and more of a cluster. >> have you been on a highway in italy or a train. why? >> if you go -- you could outsource that to private sector. but that said, things this different should to, they should be in charge of infrastructure. and military. >> they screw it

we pulled out of it, schultz is said that is mistake. is he right about that part?s right about that part. when you visit vietnam, vietnamese love americans. maybe that is not widely known as it should be. you're basically talking about the southeast asian countries as a unit. that is 600 million people in population. i think it was an unforced error by the trump administration. that said, i think the hard ball the trump administration is playing with china now is pretty artfully managed. connell: that is -- we're almost there, we think. we're being told that we are almost at the point where there is a deal. when you say artfully managed, what do you mean specifically? what do you think the president has done right to get to this point? >> china appreciates strength. they don't get into all the cultural issues, the stuff that causes twitter to blow up and get certain tv hosts from the other side all up in arms. they appreciate strength. they can deal with trump. they see him as a straight-shooter. it's a little bit simpler that way. i think there is nixon in china,

fox news heating up its 2020 townhall with howard schultz, healthcare, the future of the democratic party and his views on the border controversy. i am shannon bream, ed henry, the president heads to the southern border. shutting the southern border down soon is still an option saying he will not guarantee the border is staying open for a year, putting tariffs on mexican cars as a stick and if that doesn't work all bets are off. the president declaring taxes on mexican cars, what he called a powerful incentive, to get serious about spreading drugs and illegal immigrants across the border and comes as the president noted, both making trips to separate border towns, the president headed to calexico, where barriers have been reinforced, yuma, arizona, emergency powers managing what she and former obama officials call the crisis level surge of illegal immigrants so the president is running from the reality of a pullback that immediate closure of the border as he promised, republicans like ted cruz in addition to democrats warned the economic consequences could be devastating. >> sitting down

meanwhile, we heard directly from german finance minister olaf schultz who told cnbc he welcomes brexit between the u.k. government and the opposition labor party speaking to annetta in a first on interview, he added that germany is prepared for any brexit outcome >> so far we cannot see there is a big impact coming from the ongoing debate about the brexit. we are well prepared for both. a brexit without an agreement. everyone knows it will be better to have something which is a deal, and so we are still hoping for an outcome that makes this feasible >>> you can catch more from our interview with german finance minister olaf schultz tomorrow stay tuned for that. >> now, the imf has cut its 2019 growth outlook again in its third downgrade since october. the fund said it expects the world economy to grow by 3.3% this year, down from an earlier forecast of 3.5%, and warned of the risk of further cuts to its outlook. the imf said global growth is slowing more than expected and a steeper downturn could call for coordinated stimulus measures. the outlooks that the imf give us, they have prove

let's get more on this we're joined by teri schultz she is in brussels today so i'm terry sell us because we just saw president trump there again pressing nato allies especially germany to spend more on their military seventy years on right now can you give us a check of the overall health of nato. yes sarah in fact that's what nato would very much like to focus on the overall health and not simply on the finances of nato and what president trump means when he says that european allies should stand more on nato is not actually spending more on nato his budget which is very tiny he's talking about european allies spending more on their own budgets on their own military so that collectively nato is stronger and allies have with president trumps prodding increased their military budget so they wish he would just say ok i've gotten what i want in that he would leave that issue aside for the time being that's in fact one of the reasons why this is not a head of state summit so that president trump can't dominate the whole agenda with this discussion of spending what nato would really like for

now let's bring in teri schultz in brussels and bureau chief of washington alexander phenomena who's joining us from outside you ask congress there i welcome to both of you and terry i would like to begin with you because we know that north macedonia could soon become the latest nation to join nato so i mean nato is still really having this expansionary vision how do you assess the overall condition of the alliance seventy years on. well nato would be very happy if people would focus on issues like north macedonia wanting in like ukraine and georgia still wanting to become members because that's where it feels its strength is that it still is an attractive organization that it still offers its allies security defense a rule of law you know the defense of freedom and it has really gotten bogged down in all this fighting with washington about spending and even on that issue nato members and european basters say often they wish president trump would just realize that he's won this battle spending is going up among all allies it's still very low among some european members but it's going
