thank you, wisconsin. no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days, that includes on military, on the border, on trade, on regulation, on law enforcement -- we love our law enforcement. and on government reform. we are building on that optimism and i am proud to announce we are about to take bold new steps to follow through on my pledge to buy american and hire american. [applause] think of a better place to make this announcement then right here at snap-on. i just took a tour of the company. good place, by the way. doing well, too. standing among the workers that make the tools that will rebuild our nation. your craftsmanship is incredible. it is a pleasure to see my good friend, governor scott walker, he has been such a big help. stand up, scott. governor walker. [applause] as well as senator ron johnson. we worked hard together. thank you, ron. and although he could not be here today, my thanks go to speaker ryan who has represented the city for nearly two decades in congress. you know w

to any wisconsin health clinic that provides abortions. it passed the state legislature and last month's congressional vote in washington, clears the way for that to happen. >> i think it is entirely appropriate for a state health department to have a better sense of what are the health needs of the state of wisconsin rather than a narrow special interest. jessica: planned parenthood says it has already been forced to close 5 of its rural clinics here since 2012, after the republican governor and state legislature here voted to slash its state funding. >> in those 5 communities, there has not been another provider who has stepped in to fill that gap. >> we have federally funded health centers, we have outpatient clinics, we have county and local health departments, we have hospitals. jessica: state republicans maintain, without a planned parenthood monopoly on federal funding, there would be more and better options for wisconsin women. >> they are vastly bigger in network, so many more of them and provide these kind of services without all

. >>> let's move back to wisconsin there. live pictures of the podium where we'll see the president momentarily. this is a blue state but remember this was the blue wall. it turned red during the election. he's talking about american manufacturing while cracking down on employer who is try to use cheap foreign labor. this is a piece of his new executive order which he is about to sign there which should help push the president's buy american, hire american agenda. the president is touring the headquarters in kenosha and in a couple of minutes he'll give a speech. let's go straight to jeff zeleny at the head quarters of snap-on tools. what do we expect from the president and also the executive orders he's about to sign? >> reporter: brooke, we know the president will sign an executive order taking his message outside of washington here to wisconsin and it's going to be part of that campaign slogan he talks about, hire american, buy american. it's going to limit the number of visas that are allowed for some workers to come into

we're also going to stand up for our dairy farmers in wisconsin.] and i've been reading about it. and i've been talking about it for a long time. and that demands really, immediately fair trade with all of our trading partners and that includes canada. [applause] because in canada some very unfare things have happened to our dairy farmers and others. we'll start working on that with ron and with scott and with paul, with all of your representatives. what's happened to you is very, very unfair. it's another typical one-sided deal against the united states, and it is not going to be happening for long. so, scott, you and ron and myself and paul and we'll get together and we'll call canada and we'll say, what happened? they might give us an answer but we'll get the solution, not just the answer because we know what the solution is, all right? [applause] if you guys can't do it, we'll bring maybe reince. reince, are you ready reince? we better bring reince back. we'll get that done. we'll work on it very hard. we'll work on it immediately starting toda

wisconsin. we are a 100% s corp, and we would love to have you out in beaver dam, wisconsin. president trump: well, i love the state of wisconsin. mr. paradowski: as do i. president trump: there was a little bit of an upset. i don't think -- [laughter] president trump: i don't think -- i thought we were going to do very well there. but people would -- they could consider that a slight upset, right? but we don't consider it that. thank you. very good.

president trump back in wisconsin, wisconsin went for trump.me since 1984 that wisconsin went for a republican. he is back there today. how well received? >> actually, the event went off very well for him. and apropos of what you were saying in your intro there, this was a very populist event. he did bring steve bannon along for the trip, and his message kind of really ricochetted back to what he was saying during the campaign. and it's notable, greta, that not only did he do the buy america hire america executive order, he also kind of on the moment or in the moment did a major statement as regards protecting u.s. dairy farmers which as you know is a very big issue in wisconsin. so, this was full-on donald trump populism. there were protests outside, to be sure, but inside the room it felt a little like a trump rally from last year. >> susan, that's sort of in contrast to what is going on lately, save the export import bank last week. he wias going to suggest the preserve of the federal reserve. he went off to wisconsin to the great state of w

i'm glad he's going back to wisconsin, a state we worked really, really hard to win. it was a surprise to the rest of the world but not to us, in terms of the policy, this is trump at his very best, he promised throughout the campaign, his inaugural address his policies would evolve putting the american worker first, at last. the h1-b program, while it was set up with many good intentions, supposed to be finding highly, highly skilled people who we couldn't find in the united states. physicists, neuroscientists, surgeons, it's become a subsidy for very big companies where low skilled or unskilled workers are brought here to compete against american workers. it's a terrible policy and needs to end. trish: disney was so upset that so many i.t. workers brought in to replace the american workers, the disney workers had to train the workers and train their replacements. hey, this isn't fair, disney was using this as a way to get cheaper labor. >> trish, a similar example of the hypocrisy is giant american banks are now using h1-b visa people to replace american workers. th

he is hitting the road, going to wisconsin.s time on the campaign trail and it paid off for him on election night. he will visit the manufacturer. what is the goal of this visit? teary array date -- to a rate -- to reiterate to buy american. >> america has lost 70,000 factories because the politicians that don't know what they are doing or they're controlled by the special interests. a trump administration will stop the job is from leaving america and we will stop the job is from leaving wisconsin. we'll work with their governor, who is a great, great governor. and we'll stop it. >> martha: he won in wisconsin, as was famously said many times, hillary clinton and then go to wisconsin and donald trump did and it worked for him. he flipped 23 wisconsin counties from democrat to republican. you are looking at them on the screen right now. he was the first win the badger state since ronald reagan back in 1984. here now, wisconsin congressman sean duffy, who will be with president trump. is he trying to shore up those counties in th

this is a noble story about the company and wisconsin heritage and wisconsin has a great heritage. it's a story that we love about the american spirit. we honor work and great. we honor craftsmanship and the men and women who turned dreams into reality with their own two hands. we honor all of you. we are a nation of builders and we are the country that dugout the panama canal and put a man on the face of the moon and that link our cities with majestic railroads and curving highways. we are the country that is always on the cusp of the next invention. but we can only get there with all of you. we can only restore the nation by working and building with all of you. we can only get there together. we are the one people sharing one destiny saluting one great beautiful american flag. i'm thrilled to celebrate our great american heritage and to proudly embrace our great american future. i want to thank the people of wisconsin for doing so much for me. not just with the company, but the people of wisconsin. you have been so incredible. me and my administration. we will never ever let you

we're in beaver dam, wisconsin. we manufacture capital equipment out of stainless steel and other high alloys. we employ 175, and most of them are skilled trades people -- some of the best skilled trades people in the state of wisconsin. we are a 100% s corp, and we would love to have you out in beaver dam, wisconsin. president trump: well, i love the state of wisconsin. mr. paradowski: as do i. president trump: there was a little bit of an upset. i don't think -- [laughter] president trump: i don't think -- i thought we were going to do very well there. but people would -- they could consider that a slight upset, right? but we don't consider it that. thank you. very good. yes. mr. staub: mr. president, good to see you again. we enjoyed having you at our facility back in september. i'm steve staub with staub manufacturing solutions in dayton, ohio. president trump: i remember. mr. staub: and hopefully you got a chance to see the "first day" video that we did with the national association of manufacturers. president

i spent time with some of the farmers in wisconsin. as you know, rules, regulations, different things have changed and our farmers in wisconsin and new york state are being put out of business, our dairy farmers. that also includes what is happening along the northern border states with canada, having to do with lumber and timber. the fact is that nafta, whether it is mexico or canada, is a disaster. for our country. it is a disaster, a trading disaster. and we will be reporting back sometime over the next two weeks as to nafta and what we will do about it. but what happens to our dairy farmers in wisconsin and new york state, we will not let it happen. we can't let canada or anybody else take advantage and do what they did to our workers and our farmers. and again, i want to also just mention, included in there is lumber, timber, and energy. so we will have to get to the negotiating table with canada very quickly. again, just to tell you, this is another nafta disaster. we will not let it continue onward. i think what i would like to

details ahead. >>> also, president trump will speak at a plant in wisconsin.ake you to it live as soon as it happens. only tylenol® rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast, for fast pain relief. tylenol® dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪ you're going to be hanging out in here. so if you need anything, text me. do you play? ♪ ♪ use the chase mobile app to send money in just a tap, to friends at more banks then ever before. you got next? chase. helping you master what's now and what's next. >>> we are following breaking news. we've learned that the pentagon is preparing to test its ability to shoot down missiles launched out of north korea after north korea's failed attempt to launch a missile over the weekend. barbara starr is all over this for us. barbara, tell me about these tests. what will

i am choosing between the university of vermont and the university wisconsin. coming from such a small town i worried i be to fish out of water from medicine so i happily applied and i registered for housing and a meal plan and all the things that make you feel like your new life is about to start, i never step foot on campus. [laughter] kind of funny when you think about it. sometimes i do leap and then look. sometimes it works out great, other times things could've gone a little bit better. if i have a sense of myself in high school, i lost it in college. this was the first time i realized money matter and how you spent it matter more. since my family put value on getting the most out of our car i thought for tour station wagons were aces because they lasted forever. i had no idea who i was. a group in a town where you didn't know who had money and who did it. the wealthiest family were probably the quiet veterinarians and they drove beat up suburbans and waken ears. i don't really remember anyone wearing makeup. save little gave her up for - me. i were close

he was in wisconsin this afternoon. he signed an executive order they are designed to support the american worker and having products made in the united states. that has brought a lot of democrats over for him during the course of the election. here he is today. >> no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days, and i'm proud to announce that we are about to take bold new steps to follow through on my pledge to buy american and higher american. [cheers and applause] >> martha: white house correspondent traveling with the president today, details on the order set up to a compass quite a bit. watch. >> good evening from kenosha, wisconsin. think of it as sort of a two-tier executive order by the president prayed on the one hand, they want to make certain that they change the visa programming, so that americans aren't competing unfairly with other workers that might come from around the globe. also think of it this way. he wants the u.s. government to spend more on american companies because frankly prosperit

thank you, wisconsin.ministration has accomplished more in the first 90 days, that includes military, the trade, the border, regulation, law enforcement. we love our law enforcement. and on government reform. today we're building on that optimism. i'm proud to announce that we're about to take bold new steps to follow-through on my pledge to buy american and hire american. [applause] >> i can't think of a better place to make this announcement than right here at snap-on. i just took a tour of the great. a great place, by the way. doing well, too. standing among the workers that make the tools that will rebuild our nation. your craftsmanship is incredible. it's a pleasure to see my good friend governor scott walker. he has been such a big help. he's been so incredible. stand up, scott. [applause] governor walker. as well as senator ron johnson. we worked hard together. thank you, ron. and although he could not be here today, my thanks go to speaker ryan who represented the city for two decades in congress.

you look at the people of wisconsin.y have been badly burned when it comes to manufacturing jobs and losing those jobs overseas. do you expect this to work in the way people are hoping? are there any draw backs to this? >> there are no draw backs. the only thing i would say, wisconsin is one of thaoe states where enthusiasm has gone through the roof. the only thing people will have to be more patient. a week ago small business association put out their optimism index. this thing has been on fire since president trump was elected. but the uncertainty, second highest level ever. so people are exciteded an enthusiastic, perhaps a little too impatient. i think it will have to be another component besides executive orders and even legislation. something will have to be a ground swell within america itself going back to perhaps you don't remember lee iacocca. >> sandra: i do. >> you're too young. he saved chrysler with that pro america thing. even going back forward, they used to have commercials, look for the union label. sor

we'll go live to wisconsin. also, election day in georgia. >> it all comes down to turnout, the work you are doing right now, is the most important work that's been done so far in this campaign. >> democrat john ossof trying to ride the seat of trumpism, can he go the distance? manhunt over. >> there was a short pursuit in which the vehicle was stopped as the officers approached the vehicle steve stephens took his own life. >> the search for the suspect is now over. what the police have learned about his motive and the unusual story of how they found him is still ahead. but we begin right now with our top story, we are barreling towards that first major mile marker in donald trump's presidency, the first 100 days. president trump is opening up his remarks this afternoon saying no administration accomplished more in the first 90 days than his and using majority of his remark to explain what he is going to do as president more than what he has done. and making america's workers first again. still on the docket, tr

president trump travels to wisconsin to push his buy american and hire american policy, but will americans buy into that if it means paying more, and will the trump family conduct its own business that way? >>> ivoyagea's trademark. president trump's daughter and advisers lands new trademarks from the brand with the chinese government as she dines with the president of china. is there a conflict of issue. >>> and all about trump. voting is under way in a special congressional election in georgia. can a democrat grab a win in a republican district? we're watching for the results, and when they say about support for the president. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." . >>> the united states is reviewing its options for possible military action against north korea and defense officials say two tests are scheduled for weapons that may be needed to shoot down kim jong-un's missiles. a ship launched interceptor meant to take down north korean officials that threatened japan and a ground-based missile that defend against a future north korean threat to the u.s. homeland and north kor

to tailor our markets there works for us in wisconsin because wisconsin the health care system is different than, say, the new york health care system or the vermont health care system. that just makes sense. even if a state gets a waiver there are multiple layers of protections like continuous coverage. if you have a health care problem, you can't be rated for higher health care costs. if you switch to another plan you keep your coverage conch, the same protections apply even if your state gets a waiver. we believe is to have federal and state support for people support it so everybody doesn't have to bear the costs in the insurance pools. 1% of the people in the market drive 23% of the cost. so if we directly support that catastrophic coverage, sort of reinsurance on top of insurance, then you're lowering everyone else's prices. you are making it easier for people to afford quality health insurance and you're guaranteeing that that person who has catastrophic health care cost, that person who has a pre-existing condition or gets really sick gets the coverage they need. we think it's a rea

canada where the dairy farmers up in wisconsin, upstate new york, border states in particular, are not able to sell their dairy products into canada and this has been going on for a while and we're not going to put up with it. and we put a very big tax and won't be putting a big tariff on lumber, timber coming into this country. people don't realize, canada has been very rough on the united states. everyone thinks of canada of being nice but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years and you people understand that. so we did institute a very big tariff. we announced it yesterday and we're going to take care of our dairy farmers in wisconsin and upstate new york and lots of other places. so i think you people all probably agree with that, right? would you agree with that? >> you got to believe it. >> our farmers deserve a government that empowers them to do the hard work that they love to do so much and that's what

it's a terrible thing that happened to the farmers of wisconsin. the fact is nafta has been a disaster for the united states. a complete and total disaster. we're going to do some things, and we have all sorts of rules and regulations that are horrendous, like one that started to negotiate with mexico immediately and we have these provisions where you have to wait long period of times, notify congress, and after that, you have to get certified, then you can't speak to them for 100 days, the whole thing is ridiculous. nafta's been very, very bad our country, very, very bad for our companies and for our workers, and we're going to make some very big changes or we'll get rid of nafta once and for all. it cannot continue like this, believe me. [ applause ] big things will be happening on trade with other countries over the coming months, and i mean, very big. we're also working with congress on tax reform and simplification and we're on time if we get health care approval. press every one of your congressmen, press everybody. we want to get that approv

of flexibility to tailor our markets that work for us in wisconsin because the wisconsin health care system is different than say the new york health care system or the vermont health care system. that just makes sense. but even if a state gets a waiver, in are multiple layers of pre-existing condition protections like continuous conch. if you have a health care problem and you have health insurance, you can't be denied or rated for higher health care costs. if you switch to another plan and keep your coverage, the same protections apply even if your state gets a waiver. the more important point is why this amendment is a step in the right dekz direction is we believe the smarter way to the go on getting premiums down and protecting people with pre-existing conditions is have federal and state support for people who are sick with greater subsidies so that everybody else doesn't have to bear the costs in their insurance pools. 1% of the people in the individual market drive 23% of the costs. so if we directly support that catastrophic coverage reinsurance on top of insurance, you're l

that is madison wisconsin. bernie was running late so i told the man on the line, and he might have to wait a few minutes. in the meantime, ask questions. i always try to learn about the people coming into the office. especially people meeting with her talking to bernie. i wanted to know what made them important enough to warrant time and attention.i researched everything it could. when i got and on the phone he had to wait i saw my chance. i knew the end was a very important labor attorney. he had unionized and the players association and was a progressive layer. as i was transferred to madison. and he replied that i should come see him when i arrived on campus. i worked for him for the two years i lived there. and as a side note, he passed away about three weeks ago and he ran for governor several times and was a great human being. i am glad that i actually wrote about him in here because he was wonderful. the other important thing that happened that day was that bernie's team invited me to be an intern in th

just the fact that he was out in a factory in wisconsin was interesting, the first time he visited wisconsin, went for trump, first republican since 1984. he was on the ground in kenosha for 1: 05. so that gives you the sense of how -- it was sort of for show. he went out there to sign an executive order. i was struck by the fact. he's in speaker ryan's home legislative district. it wasn't for any reason necessarily other than they're trying to get to wisconsin. the speaker was at a nato meeting in europe, interesting. but i think that the president he does when he talks about winning wisconsin, he lightens up some. so i've wondering why hasn't his aides sent him out to the country. he's much more beloved but he was signing an executive order, again, not legs. at this point of george w. bush's presidency he visited 26 states. president trump six or seven other than florida. the applause was slightly softer, i think. he now -- he has his own record to run against. he can't talk about obama as much as he used to. robert: one of the reasons the president hasn't been signing a bill, my sources t

he was in wisconsin a state critical to his president recall victory.ident taking a brief road trip. as that pivotal 100-day mark get closer and closer. >> wolf, a brief road trip indeed. president trump spent about an hour and five ka noesha. he came to implement his hire american, buy american. they have that 100-day mark which comes at the end of next week. he came to sign an executive order. an piece of legislation that would turn this into law. president trump trying to rejuvenate and jump-start his agenda. >> i'm thrilled to be back in wisconsin. >> the president signing an executive order to buy american and hire american. turning to a call from the campaign trail to put a priority on u.s. workers. >> a policy of our government is to aggressively promote and use american-made goods. and to ensure that american labor is hired to do the job. >> yet also another reminder he is still signing executive orders, not lengs lags that would turn his campaign pledges into laws. tonight, a new gallup poll fines that 43% of americans think trump is keeping hi

this is dave, from armstrong creek, wisconsin. you are on with katrina vanden heuvel. go ahead. caller: i would like to id -- agree with you about the idea of some sort of single-payer health care system. with a market-based system relying on profits as a motive, those costs are always going to go up. i would like to remind people of their that get their health insurance through their employer, this is part of your wages. if we had a single-payer system, we would be paying for it through taxes, but i think this would benefit the employers, also. there is a car manufacturer that move their plant to canada. they figured in $2000 per car in health insurance costs. this type of thing -- guest: a good question. caller: would benefit everybody. host: go ahead. guest: you're calling from the good state where the uaw was formed. the major car manufacturers were preparing to move towards single-payer. they were ready to support this. plants and manufacturers have moved to canada. think there was lobbying, we have seven lobbyists for the health care industry and every representative in co

we wanted to take what wisconsin didn't start with wisconsin and do a digital first initiative. we called it veterans coming home. that has now expanded. pbs is there veterans initiative and national content. we do documentaries on something called military medicine which was so fascinating because it shows the gains made on the battlefield, with the medics to and translates to civilian life. where learning so much but i'm missing the point here. the point of veterans coming home is to connect them to jobs and to not tell, sometimes we tell stories we characterize our veterans as people who are really not capable, mentally capable were able to add anything in a job, or in life. nothing could be further from the truth. some of them to need the help that they need. so many of them, even those who need the help they are trained, they are an asset. this is not some favor were doing for them. any company would benefit from hiring a veteran. this is what's happening with veterans coming home wisconsin started it. >> will go next to my friend from massachusetts. >> thank you chairman c
