that is the life blood of job creation. >> stuart: steve cortes, we don't get strong growth without the tax cut. >> that's why we will get the tax cut bill and get it by summertime. there's always watching the -- >> stuart: that's optimistic there, steve. >> fingers crossed. >> stuart: yeah. >> watching the legislative sausage get made can be ugly. those members of congresses don't want to go back to their republican districts where trump is popular and explain to the voters why they impeded trump's agenda, particularly regarding taxes. because of that, they are eventually going to heal to him and he will get this through congress and we're going to grow again. >> stuart: we'll take that optimism. thanks all. appreciate it. now, tucker carlson's interview with president trump already making news on wiretapping. you are about to see why and get reaction from the judge. that's next. when you have a digital notebook to capture investing ideas that instantly gives you stock prices, earnings, and dividends... an equity summary score that consolidates the stock ratings of top analysts into a

would you agree with that analysis, steve cortes? >> i would.that is what is going to happen. i certainly concur with charlie gasparino, in general, ipos are dangerous place for retailers investors to play. i leave it to the ares for these special situations. i'm skeptical on snapchat. i can't get my hand around a company who doesn't make money and appeals almost, exclusively to people who don't make money. but let me put a trump spin and american spin, isn't it wonderful all these innovations are coming out. united states. all those companies you named worth combined $3 trillion, all american companies. america absolutely dominates technology and i would argue one of the main reasons we do, is because tech, thank goodness is largely unregulated. the government doesn't meddle very much in tech. because of that, american innovation works and enormous wet is created for us and the whole world. what donald trump will do, make that happen for the rest of the economy. taking regulatory albatross of the american worker and american entrepreneurs. we'r

steve cortes? >> trish, yes. listen, it is important to note that nancy pelosi can sort of run her mouth and make statements that might be very popular in san francisco but the reality is, when we look at capital allocation, where are people investing, where they're putting their money where their mouth is, they're putting their money on growth right now because there is belief and optimism out there that is palpable. you're so right. partly psychology which is important. it is also policy what we believe is soon going to be coming. i uld point to in terms of stock market because i'm both a trump partisan and a wall street guy i would point to staffing stocks. don't take my word for it. look at the market. look at stocks like manpower, all-time high today. adp, paychex, since the election, and november 8th, they have absolutely soared. they certainly believe we're on the cusp of a new era of job growth. by the way the most encouraging thing about the report i think was the participation rate. we need to bring peo

liz peek and steve cortes are back with us, along with university of maryland economist peter morici. this is very flashed. we just got the news but, let's deal with the dollars first if we can, peter. $1.2 trillion less we would be spending, the federal government over that nine-year period but we would be receiving $.9 trillion less in tax revenue. that is a net gain of over $300 billion over nine years. that sounds like a good thing, right? >> well, absolutely. this is a good, favorable report. i mean they're going to save some money. and people that didn't want to have a gun to their head to buy insurance won't be buying insurance. i don't know what is so terrible about that. in terms of people that fall off the rails because of medicaid, a lot was expanding medicaid to people to program was never intended. some guy 37 years old, refuses to look for a job, has no job, sponging off his girlfriend watching espn, i have no problem booting that guy off. that program was set up for mothers and kids. david: let's go, liz, to the question of how many people are being insured. of course t

here to discuss, steve cortes and eric schiffer. eric, what do you make? i know we're accustod having green on the screen every day, but should we be concerned right now? >> it's interesting. in my opinion, i think there's three certainties that are driving this. and i think that, and all of them are positive and stable, and i think the first one is really, you know, you've got all this chaos. there's a lot of political chaos, tremendous blood and, you know, it's ugly at times, no question. i think the market recognizes that doesn't change the economics. that's the first thing. second thing is that the fed, there's an understanding that the fed has the back of the market in terms of volatility, which is good finish the market, and i think on the third side that, you know, the fact is this is not an incredible economy but it's a good economy, and it's stable. and so because it's stable, the market also, i think, it gives the market some strength. charles: right. >> now, there's some new thing that goes off or trump doesn't follow the policy or there's a pol

joining me liz peek of the "fiscal times," steve cortes, bcg partners chief strategist. steve, to you. seems at first the market said we'll have a 100 point drop today. it looked like that would be happening. then the market came up a little bit. it ended down about 50 points which is way off its lows. still a down day. it have been a lot worse. what causes the market to continue to recover today? >> david, i think, it is a great question. i think we have competing forces here. we see at times political tumult. we certainly saw that over the weekend, right? the president kicked off that saturday morning with his tweets. for the entire weekend saturday and sunday saw a news cycle which was very tumultuous. that caused stocks to open in poor fashion. what happened, investors we've seen this time and again since he was elected, wait a second we'll get past the political firestorms. what really matters long term is growth and deregulation and tax reform this president is promising have investors so emboldened we see a lot of what we see today, which is steady buying throughou

connell: to add into the conversation, liz peek, "fiscal times," former trump campaign advisor steve cortes as well. liz to begin with you, through the perspective how we look at things, that would be the financial markets, with the conversation melissa is having about health care, if thursday, say, doesn't go well and things do not pass do you start to get a feeling here maybe this trump rally that we've all been reporting on in the markets at some point, haven't seen it yet, today doesn't see much action at all might be in jeopardy? people might think the rest of his agenda is in trouble as well? >> i think it would be a disaster if the bill does not pass on thursday, the seventh anniversary of obamacare being part of our country. connell: disaster for markets? >> here is why. we know tax reform is backed up behind it. i think both of those things are incredibly important for optimism which surged so significantly since the election to continue surging. that said, i am optimistic it will go well thursday. i think that president trump has done a good job of bringing a lot of people on boar

. >> eric: joining us now with reaction, steve cortes, and from baltimore, keith haynes, a democraticof the maryland house of democrats who cosponsored this sanctuary bill. just days after this atrocious, atrocious rape case, you voted to turn maryland into a sanctuary state. why? >> well, let me first of all say that the state of maryland has been progressive when it comes to issues of immigration in this area. and what we thought to do was to put forward this legislation called the trust act to basically restore community trust, trust between the community and law enforcement as we see things happening on the federal level. >> eric: but this case, this rape case, just days prior comes up, when you're debating whether or not this is a good idea? >> let me just emphasize thats this was an issue that did come up. but when you look at the incident that happened in montgomery county, which is a horrific situation, by all means. we know that. but there really isn't an immigration component, when you look at the allegations that took place. >> eric: come on. sir, what demand is not anom im

thanks for joining us as always, steve cortes. appreciate it. >>> how about this from exxon mobile.tting big on gulf coast projects to the tune of $20 billion. liz, first of all, how many jobs does that create? this is exxon over couple years, 20 billion, how many jobs? liz: 45,000 estimated. 35,000 of them are construction. you have to wonder if the keystone pipeline which will deliver heavy tar sand oil down to the gulf coast, if that is why they're expanding refineries and processing down there, president trump wants more energy production. that is his whole energy production. exxon falls very much in to that. byron that sound like a trump win? >> it is. this is what trump voters want him to do. he got great feedback with the carrier corporation. last week's speech seems like a million years ago. joint session of congress. very well-reviewed. mentioned jobs, 12 different times in that speech. it is what his voters wanted him y good feedback in washington and outside when he does that. liz: without the u.s. energy boom the obama administration would have seen a recession. we talke
