joinings us to discuss these issues, jeffrey eisenach with the american enterprise institute and craig aaron who is president and ceo of free press. mr. aaron, what in a sense or two would you -- in a sentence or two would you describe as hillary clinton's tech agenda? >> guest: well, you know, based on what the campaign has put out so far, and i want to start out by saying i'm certainly not here as a representative of hillary clinton, and i have lots of praise in her agenda and plenty to criticize. but i would say the key elements that interest me most are her commitment to really expand broadband access with a lot of talk about competition and bringing the benefits of broadband to all americans. and then i think there's another strong theme that's running through around the idea of inclusive innovation. in other words be, how do we make sure that the entire country, everyone actually shares in the benefits of the internet economy, of all the big, huge silo changes that are happening as a result, what do we do to make sure that not too many people are left behind. >> host: how would y

us is john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n., fox contributor, senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and on the list for a possible secretary of state. so, ambassador, what do you predict will be different under president trump? you do you think the castro regime under new rule will change? >> no, it won't. it's fixed in history. i've always believed that when fidel finally met the actuariel tables it would be like the popping of a balloon. this iconic figure once dead would remove the will legitimacy had. president obama extended diplomatic recognition, lifting economic sanctions, that the regime would be provided with enough economic wherewithal to sustain itself in power. i think our policy should be to look to find ways to have this regime collapse of its own weight. i think that's far and away the most likely course here. remember the last leader of east germany when the country dissolved around him, i think raul castro could have that distinction in cuban history. >> now how could that -- what do you predict? how could that possibly happen that cuba would go the way of east ger

senior fellow at the american enterprise institute who is on the short list as a possible trump secretary of state. ambassador, mr. trump is not even in office yet and moscow is already piping up. spokes man for putin calling on trump to withdraw forces to show a kin of detente in europe? do you think that is possible and will he do that? what message would that be? >> of course we should not withdraw troops from any nato country. the decision was made to bring these countries in to nato, it was the right decision. and nato has always been a defensive alliance. and the russians know that. so this call to move forces around is an early test, and i think it's indicative of what in the 2008 democratic campaign was called the 3:00 a.m. wake-up call. i think there is a potential for any number of such wake-up calls as adversaries around the world try to tests united states, but there is another level of threat, too, and that is strategic threats that have been mishandled by the obama administration that require urgent attention not because they will be a problem on january the 21st, but becaus

, you will see the flow of businesses and capital back here, studied by my friend at the american enterprise institutef the business tax cut our workers because they have more capital to work with, they have raises and more jobs. stuart: not sure of the economics of that, if it is the biggest boost but people voted for trump because they want the individual tax cut and want it now. >> go to the donald trump website and see if these things are integrated. remember the obama administration wanted to move corporate tax rates down and leave individual rates low but when you find out you have an llc they are harmonious with each other. stuart: are we going to get a tax reform bill that includes tax cuts for individuals and tax cuts for businesses? >> i really believe so because that is on the website. here is the beauty of mister trump. he said this consistently, on 60 minutes, he is a negotiator, these are starting points in the negotiation. he has 100 to 250 gauges to move his agenda, look at past presidential administrations, the biggest bang for the buck when you do it that way, we are putting a transi

let's bring in jimmy pete, economic policy analyst for the american enterprise institute, cnbc contributor and alan gail. as an investor, you heard mike and what he had to say. how much of this 4%, 5% run, it has been 20 some days, how much of that is the election and how much of that is let's buy ahead of an expected growth in the economy? >> well, mike did a great job of outlining what is going on. we have been overweight equities prior to the election in the allocation strategies that i manage, and the reason for that is that the macro environment has been improving. job growth has been good, we saw the case-shiller numbers come out, shows that consumer balance sheets are strengthening. another number that came out this morning, consumer confidence, was also higher. again, it is very important to point out that turn in corporate profits. i think that means we'll get better cap x pending into 2017. so you've got a favorable macro climate to begin with, so we were overweight stocks, and then you throw in the rotation after the election, and the fact that we could get some legitimate fisca

the "national review." he american enterprise institute. i don't agree with them, but ey just saw him as a demagogue, a fraud, dishonest, we don't even know the president of the united states who won't tell us about his tax returns, who has myriad of lawsuits against him. this is not normal. charlie: your point is, we can't forget that or normalize and therefore, we do what? david: we have to be clear-headed and accumulate the facts. charlie: truth to power. david: we are living in a world in which the president-elect feels no compulsion during a campaign about lying at a rate that we have never seen before by any meter, by any score board. charlie: one thing to exaggerate but another thing to lie. >> it wasn't once or twice or not here or there, it's a pattern. on the level of appointments, we are hearing people about whom the president-elect himself denigrated during the campaign. but we cannot allow ourselves to be diluted that it is wrong necessarily that somehow by magic, by the normalization of becoming president that he will suddenly

john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n., american enterprise institute fellow, fox news contributornt, what do you do? >> pretty clear at the tactical level, any american commander should have, and i hope they do, the right to protect their, their crews and their ships. so if they're in reasonable apprehension somebody is going to fire on them, they can defend themselves and they shouldn't have to wait until the fire actually begins. this particular incident, i think is part of a larger pattern of iranian behavior that is only gotten worse since the nuclear deal from the summer of 2015. i think that is it really what we have to focus on. it is not simply a military question. it's a larger political question, how do you deal with this rogue regime and it's a rogue regime that continues down the path of deliverable nuclear weapons. continues to supply to terrorists all around the world with arms and finance and it is engaged in hostage-taking, firing on american vessels and a range of other activity. this to me is more evidence that the iranians taken the nuclear deal and put it in th

ambassador to the united nations and american enterprise institute senior fellow. a fox news contributor. ambassador, am i wrong or is iran becoming more belligerent than it was before the iran deal? >> well i think their behavior in the over a year now, almost a year-and-a-half since the deal was signed shows that not only are they not modifying their behavior to become more part of the civilized international community, which was a real predicate in president obama's arguments for the deal. i do think their behavior is getting worse. seizing american hostages. getting others released for cash payments. supplying missiles to the houthi rebels in yemen to fire at american ships. now this latest provocation. not like this isn't something iranians tried to do before. they aspire to be a world power. their pursuit of nuclear weapons is part of that. not limited to the region. they continue to march while we're paying them money. david: but they're actually saying it is because of the money that we're paying them, money freed up as a result of the iran deal, that is al
