steve cortez back with me. >> i have to tell you.t just politically but hard for me as someone who worked on the campaign. and you're right. dow futures at one point were down 700 points. they were unchanged by morning, and they've been nothing but soaring since. so all of the supposed experts, the economic elites, the nobel prize winners, the mainstream media pundits, all of them said that president trump would be terrible for the markets. he's been anything but terrible. but one point on that, trish. the stock market did well under president obama. but main street didn't. main street started to do well. and i love the stock market doing well. that's fantastic. but i'm more concerned with main street. and when you look at consumer confidence, national federation of independent business, small business owners, manufacturing embassies, all of these are soaring. there's an optimism in this country, and you won't know it if you watch mainstream media. there's a optimism you can grow. trish: they really do, i think, many mainstream media

here with us, rachel campos duffy, juan williams and steve cortez. you show how tax cuts boost the economy, give us some evidence. >> oh, absolutely. by the way, most people when they talk history here and tax cuts they go straight to ronald reagan, he's a great case. i'd like to go further back to john f. kennedy. my irish grandmother on my mother's side she had a picture of jfk on her wall. i think that's mainly because he was irish and catholic and handsome, but i would put a picture of him on the wall because he was a tax cutter. a lot of people don't know that. he was the last democrat who really believed in cutting taxes and what happened, sadly, he didn't live to see a lot of this. but what happened as a result, the economy soared in the mid to late '60s, as did the stock market. so, jfk proves when we cut taxes, we incentivize people and put money in their pockets and empower them. great things happen and prosperity is lifted for all. particularly the middle class. liz: let's not forget at that reagan was irish and handsome, too. >> the evide

stuart: steve cortez is with us now. fixed the technical problem. the big picture, what stands out at you this morning from all the earnings, really strong earning report that is we are getting? >> right, stuart, you know what i love we are seeing strength both in industrial sector and on the consumer side and the industrial side we are seeing caterpillar which i think you talked about and connell: assumer side, 3m, mainly-customer company. we are seeing broad-base growth here. i think, stuart, what we are seeing optimism that we are going to get tax cuts, we've already got regulatory relief which is magnificent for the economy, tax cuts are coming, growth is back, 2018 is going to be a banner year not just for markets but main street, ground level. [laughter] stuart one look at the market will cheer a lot of people. look at this. now we are up over 180 points on the dow industrials, that puts us at 23,454. we are half way to 24,000. ashley: catapillar adding to gain. stuart: strong performance. liz: what's going to knock the market off the rails? w

steve cortez praised the president for keeping his promise to secure the border. >> one of the most amazing done not even a year into his presidency, the border is largely already secured even without the big beautiful border wall, just through better enforcement and clear eyed rhetoric coming illegal crossings have plunged in our southern border which has been insecure for decades is largely security will be completely secure once we get this wall built. heather: testing the wall could take two months. democrats returning to scare tactics to turn voters against the president's push for tax cuts. >> ripoff, shakedown. >> this is the most reckless and irresponsible budget i have seen in 37 years i have been here. >> no wonder our republican colleagues, the more it is exposed to sunlight the more -- heather: disaster for america in the dark of night, the path the left should be taking on the issue. thank you for joining us this morning. the world was ending with this. i they write? >> they have no reliable studies or data to back up those claims with the president's program is going to return

joining us is fox news contributor steve cortez, thanks for joining us.onald trump tend to take a hit, i want to bring up a statement from judge derek watson who said national security interests are legitimate objectives of the highest order. they cannot justify when the president has wielded his authority unlawfully. how are we going to come to agreement on this? >> one way is for judges to stop acting as activists and legislators from the bench which we have seen too much of. these crazy opinions come out of the west coast or hawaii. california and hawaii are problematic circuits for the federal court. if you read us immigration law the president has the ability to ban people from any country he believes our national security risks, visitors from the united kingdom if he wanted to. that doesn't make sense but doesn't it make sense to say failed countries and countries that are antagonistic toward the united states, places like north korea, doesn't it make sense to say we will put restrictions on travel for those countries because america first means put

back to discuss this bold statement on house leadership, members michael barns is with us and steve corteze start with you because i've got to tell you, since the election, the democratic party has been so tone deaf and so just in denial about the fact they're following an old playbook with old leaders and now we're starting to hear people within that party say well maybe we should. >> that's true, charles but leadership is not a handout. it's not a giveaway. it has to be earned so what we're seeing is lack of leadership where people are compelling to the individuals who had put them in these positions and you no one thing we should note also about congresswoman sanchez's comment is any other sector of society they would be discriminatory and where she's a 48 year old talking about 77 and 78 year old s, where else is that permissible right? this is an issue where if she has an issue with their leadership and their substantive skills she makes it about that and somebody else should step up and do better but don't make it about the generational basically code word for age. >> charles: althou

joining us right now with reaction, steve cortez, a fox news contributor who is a member of the trump campaigns hispanic advisory council and in los angeles, california talk radio host. will los angeles comply, ethan? will california which named it self a sanctuary state, get on board? >> absolutely not. there's no reason because the law is on the side of the sanctuary cities. read the actual federal law, the one that the attorney general is talking about right now. u.s. code section 8 -- title eight, they are in compliance. but he is trying to do is strong-armed them. red meat. the attorney general would very likely lose. this is a political move, not an actual legal one. >> brian: no doubt about it, it seems like the cities have dunk and like many others haven't. they're going to put these things in the court again. doubling down on fox & friends, does ethan have a point? >> no, he does not at all. brian, we've seen the movie before. it was in the 1960s when southern governors like governor wallace decided they were going to flout federal law for their own narrow political agenda an

steve cortez, great to see you. great to be in chicago, everyone. i'll be back in nyc for you tomorrow. have a terrific afternoon. liz: thank you very much, trish. touch and go. the dow jones industrial average hitting 23,000. 11:07 a.m. eastern time this morning. a level never, ever seen before and then poof, it was gone. the dow has not hit 1,000-point milestone and closed below it on the same day since it hit 16,000 back on 2013. it took three tries to close over the bulls eye. can we see it lock in and hit 23,000? you've got to stay with us to see if that happens. president trump cheering on a record move referring to the milestone at the very start of this joint news conference 45 minutes ago with the prime minister. the president also taking the time to attack health insurance companies for cashing in on obamacare saying quote he's not going to subsidize them any longer. he also said he thinks he has the votes to pass a fix that includes block grants for the state. but none of it, we'll see none of it before tax reform is finished. the second

what happened next is steve cortez is here to discuss life.e course of the show, dan bongino and general jack keane next hour. don't go anywhere. the but on the inside, i feel like chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may

let's examine it from chicago, steve cortez, member of the trump's campaign hispanic advisory councilradio talk who he host leslie marshall and both are fox news contributors. i know stand on desk tonight and say lead charge we are convinced indicated we can declare victory. can you? >> yes, yes, we can, bill. i will tell you this. i am in chicago. i'm a chicago an. i will tell you i know about corruption, living in this city. the clintons have exhibited a level of corruption that would make a chicago alderman blush. what they have done at the state department, in the white house, with the clinton foundation, with the russians, is almost unconscionable because we're not talking about just corruption for personal aggrandizement, we are talking about actually jeopardizing the national security of the united states. literally selling our national security, our uranium resources to an enemy state for, what? for money. and we now know this for fact. not for theory. >> bill: this fbi informant is critical on this whole picture here, too. that's going to take months to play out. so we will s
