if congress does not then accept what you're doing, y have tens cease unless congress declares war. lou: this president has said in his administration, we should attack syria, but he once the approval of congress. implicit, if not actually stated , he has made the decision to do so. therefore because we should he will, but he once the approval of congress. >> that is a political cover rather than legal. he has the legal cover. he does not need to get to congress. he does not need to. lou: having done so. >> of congress says no he can go back to the war powers act. lou: you're saying this is a farce. >> it is political cover. clearly. if you wanted to go he would never have had to go. lou: you're saying that the senator was exactly right. we are witnessing political theater in the guise of of commander in chief seeking the approval of congress which would be entirely correct. >> it becomes political cover. he does not have to go through the war powers act. here's the question. asking congress then to actually, you know, state that this is a war as opposed to five. lou: you attack a c

the republican-controlled 114th congress and u.s. senate sworn into service today. president obama didn't wait for results of the speaker's election to start issuing veto threats. a bipartisan senate bill to authorize the construction of the keystone has enough cosponsors to brake a philibuster and support of 70% of the american public but the white house not acting quickly. today it was confirmed president obama will ignore the will of the people, a true bipartisan compromise and he will veto the bill if it is passed. >> the fact is this piece of legislation is not different from the legislation that was introduced in the last congress. we put out a statement indicating if the president would veto would pass the previous congress. i can confirm if this bill passes this congress the president wouldn't sign it either. >> also confirmed any congress marshall effort to define full time work week at 40-hours would be met with presidential veto. just two hours earlier the president claiming he was ready to work with congress. >> i'm very much looking toer ward to working

add a possible war with syria with the congress to do less. with the budget deadline and a debt limit deadline a and a fund obamacare deadline than the immigration reform deadline and so many others as if they were not enough enough, and now this. i want to move beyond this fixation with syria. of using it is about syria and do you think it is about a president who's suddenly cares about not going over the head of congress after years of pushing through executive orders that grew tight -- richie the defied congress in just last week when the president said when it came to syria he did not need the approval of congress. this is the be confusing or embarrassing congress and then nine days it will be in session to ridiculed congress to get americans to focus not governing he could come out to smell like a rose even though he has given them nothing but thorn's but he will pile all the blame and at this point he steps back to say i tried their way. he doesn't say that yet but it is clear david axelrod is thinking that right now tweeting and congres

shows he thinks congress is a toothless tiger. sometimes you have to spy on an ally like in the early part of the last decade on schreuder who was close to putin in doing strange things. unless you have exceptional circumstances it should be hands off. >> what bothers the israelis most is they were specifically target i targeting benjamin netanyahu because he disagreed with the iranian deal. i spoke with a former israeli ambassador on this earlier. let's play the tape. >> i hope there was no cyber implant. that would be an invasion of privacy and a disgusting act, not only, you know, from the u.s., but against such a close friend. >> so they really object to that specific targeting in a private office of an ally. >> i think if i were in their shoes i would be more mad we didn't know there was a cyber device in the prime minister's office. that's what i could be concerned with. secondly it wasn't just netanyahu. it was president ehrowan of turkey. as a nato ally was kept off the list as b.b. was with regard to eaves dropping. and t

of the 112 congress, and today. he won a second term as speaker, and boehner, cried tears of joy. >> we're sent here not to be something, but to to something. or as i like to call it doing the right thing. it is a big job, and it comes with big challenges. >> one of the loudest voices in yesterday's republican rebellion was new york congressman peter king, who blasted boehner f not holding a vote on sandy relief, accusing the speaker of taking out this function within thee leadership ranks on the state of new york, and telling voters to stop donatin money to his party, he today reversed himself. >> john is a voice of reason in our conference, despite when things i said yesterday, i do consider john boehner a friend, which is what really hurt the other day. lou: king reversing himself after boehner agreed to hold a vote on a scaled back version of sandy relief, and new jersey governor chris christie, saying as governor he has actual responsibilities unlike the people in congress, but the truth is that boehner's criti

>> we like to have congress do their job. they allowshow us to work with them to be part of that congress. if congress doesn't want to do the job they were elected to do, maybe should get out of the way to let someone else do it. >> reporter: attorney general referred to the daca recipients as illegal aliens. at one point he intimated hundreds of thousands of americans did not get jobs that were taken by daca recipients. does the president share that view? >> i think that it's a known fact that there are over four million unemployed americans in the same age group as those that are daca recipients. that over 950,000 of those are african-americans in the same age group. over 870,000 unemployed hispanics in the same age group. those are large guys of people unemployed that could possibly have the jobs. we're looking for fixes. we're not looking for complaints. we're looking for solution. that is our focus moving forward. >> reporter: -- with the idea that hundreds of thousands of people, if the president gets what he wants woul

and congress has been dragging their feet on that. you seryou're see in this electn cycle, this primary cycle, we want that. th we're craving. why we elected president trump. we wanted a businessman, we didn't want a politician. we wanted somebody who was going to make a promise and knew how to follow up a keep it. what you're seeing right now is a resounding backup statement to that in the electorate the people that are out there, we want that. we're craving it. lou: promises made, promises kept. katie arrin, congratulations on your win and all of the very best of luck. >> thank you so much. i hope to talk to you soon. lou: look guard to it. thank you. >>> up next, a radical plan to convert the land of left wing loons into t states. our full report on crazy california, got to love that left coast. straight ahead. kyle: mom! mom! kyle, we talked about . there's no monsters. but you said they'd be watching us all the time. no, no. no, honey, we meant that progressive would be protecting us 24/7. we just bundled home and auto and saved

you've got to go to congress. not for a war, not declaring war, but going in in a hostile environment, in hostilities. that's the word that is used here. you have to report to report to congress and then you have 60 days and you can reup that with congress for another 90 days. if congress doesn't accept what you're doing, you've got to pull all troops out, stop and cease unless this congress declares war itself. >> this president has sanid and his administration has said we should attack syria but he wants the approval of congress. but implicit in that although it's not stated is that he's made the decision to do so. therefore, because we should, he will, but he wants the approval of congress. what if he doesn't get the approval? >> i think that's a political cover rather than a legal cover. as we just talked about, he has the legal cover. he does not need to go to congress -- >> he's done so. >> right, but he did not need to do that. >> but having done so -- >> but now if congress says no, he can still go back to

this is the reason that congress has a 14% approval rating. this is the reason that 79% of americans think that congress is out of touch with them and 52% think that they're corrupt. i don't say it fixes it all but working two, three jobs and not making ends meet, why can't the congress paying $174,000 per year not work a 40-hour work week. >> others say -- let's see what michelle has to say. congress approval rating at 14% is almost as high as isis approval rating. my snell. >> i actually think that this is a terrible idea. i think that when you have members of congress in office they actually do more harm than good. i think that we should return to what our founding fathers believed in, a part time congress where members of congress are paid very little, they just work a few months out of the year. they can be called in for emergency sessions but they are out, they have their own jobs, they work wherever they need to work and that's where they get the bulk of their money but they're not insulated from the rest of americans because that's wha

but again, it's also congress' -- congress has not really exercised oversight for decades. and it's a few people. it's goodlatte, nunes who are finally exercising the oversight as they should have done for decades on the hill. lou: i think truly it's only nunes. goodlatte is a latecomer to the issue and he is also an early exiter from this congress, retiring. it is without devin nunes and solely nunes among those true, it is truly to nunes that we owe a great debt for continuing to search for the truth and serving the constitution by insisting on oversight. no one else has had those guts. >> lou, the republic owe as great debt to nunes. that goes without saying. you're absolutely right. lou: as we look at talks with the north koreas at the highest level, as the president put. we've seen president xi defer, at least seem to defer publicly as kim jong-un is talking about sitting down with the president and having serious discussions at a summit. the president's actions in syria. this president is manifestly in charge of foreign policy and the counter walling that we once hear

managing congress. but i have got to just share with you a tweet from the president and share it with our audience. point election of thomas perez, a left winger extra ordinary air twinger.. perez respond, call me tom and don't get too happy. keith ellison and and democrats across the country will be your worst nightmare. that doesn't soundoo classy. >> it says who they are. tonight we'll get a good picture of that. we'll see a leader who lays out a vision how to make america great again. and you will get to see the congress. and we'll see the naysayers and defeatists. but you will also see those members of congress, republicans and democrats open to the possibility, open to the dreams of a leader who says i can take touts places we have been before and even higher. >> do you expect to see disruption from the democrats? >> i don't know. i think they will have to put their finger in the wind. a lot of people love president trump. they will be for everything he says. but have you seen the last couple days

bypassing congress -- congress has been the checkbook. they start the money bills in congress. send them over to the senate. you can't do it. president obama is the guy, when he was senator obama, who called george bush's debt unpatriotic. if i'm not mistaken, correct me, but there was a time he voted against raising the debt ceiling. president obama is in a very, very interesting predictment right now. by the way, in an hour and ten minutes or so, he's going to address the debt ceiling and what he plans to do, what he wants to do with the debt limit. my guess is, though, she can say -- congresswoman pelosi says what she wants, but they need approval to raise it. >> you don't think he would do in >> that would be the legacy he doesn't want. a lot of people say he likes to go around congress with the stimulus, regulations, and epa, going around congress, with the cap-and-trade stuff, and for him to do that with the debt ceiling, as important as the debt ceiling, that's politically very difficult. >> you're joining the judge on the show just five or ten minutes ago saying the sam

what i'm arguing for is congress ought to do the same thing. we ought to have a fair, inquiry a fair audit into these results, and we ought to resolve these claims not just dismiss them out of hand. maria: what kind of pressure are you facing right now? we know that mitch mcconnell does not want any objection. we also know liz cheney is telling her colleagues why are we doing this , this is a waste of time, don't do it, we shouldn't be putting ourselves out there. we also heard from senator klobuchar who said get a grip. lisa murkowski said we should not be doing this and you know that you will require both the house and the senate to reject the electors from a number of states in order to be successful. that's likely not happening that you're going to win in both the house and the senate, and what if a commission does find fraud? what happens then? >> well, listen. i think everyone needs to calm down. i think we need to tone down the rhetoric. this is already a volatile situation. it's like a tinder box and throwing lit matches into it and so

does congress need to do more or less? >> do-nothing congress is bad for us, because we need legislation to reign in the n.s.a. it's been unsettling for the consumers in the u.s. and abroad and bad for american businesses in silicon valley cisco reported a slump in sales abroad. analysts predict that the u.s. cloud computing industry will lose $22 billion to $180 billion in the next three years. the customers abroad are uncomfortable trusting the u.s. companies they now see as the intelligence agency in the u.s. i would like to see them reign in the legislation. >> so there is one example of where congress needs to act in order to get out bottlenecks in the economy. >> well, congress when they undo the bottleneck also inadvertently create new bottlenecks. it's not the bill that congress sses but what they pass. they could have 300 innocuous bill and you get a dodd-frank or obamacare and you have done harm to the economy. another thing at work here is not just congress that passes laws. regulatory agencs are passing laws as

against 51 and the old congress. there are morewomen, 102 , almost one closer now for the house including many more democratic women. 89 as against 64 and the old congress. and there are more minorities were presented. 55 black members, 54 democrats against 47 in the last congress. and 40 latinos compared with 39. the question is, will that changing gender and ethnic composition be matched with big political or ideological changes? democrats emphasize issues such as healthcare and immigration in their successful midterm election campaign last year. and presumably a record of achievement there. but there was also a lot of talk about the president. impeachment talk. especially. while congressional leaders seem a little nervous, about the party being seen as too aggressive perhaps in the pursuit of mr. trump, the base is chomping at the bit. they talked about hammering the present during the campaign. meantime, what does the new class of republicans want to do with their minority now? is the new house gop caucus formed

what is the vote counting congress? >> steep uphill battle according to abc and some left-wing organizations like think progress, it looks bad for the president particularly in the house of representatives of words of 200 in the house leaning or a solid no. you only need 218 in the house to form a majority. in the senate, that is a closer run but in our house that looks like the house will vote no. stuart: we don't know how persuasive or otherwise -- >> doesn't look like he changed any minds. stuart: got to ask about the markets. we dropped 145 points in the middle of the press conference and we are down 32. explained that. charles: the markets as the president rambled on began to think more about what the newsmen from the jobs report. and the fed will probably caper, and they will start to remove some accommodation before the year's over. stuart: you use the word rambles. the answer to the first question took thirteen minutes. and then run out the clock to the end of the show. >> he is treating serious as if it is liby

congress, i was the only one that knew that. here is the thing though, it is ridiculous though, right? they're doing the people's work except they never go to work and now as we get to crunch time critical times real important moments in this country it's okay. i mean, something really should be done about this, should be a greater sense of urgency to get these things done and we won't end up with laws and bills that we regret later on. >> neil: danielle? >> i agree there's a reason leadership has a 22% rating but people are horrified about what's happened in this first year of the trump administration , healthcare reform became healthcare sabotage and the tax bill is meant to go into if we can get it through committee and back to the house is meant to go on january 1 but we don't have any regulations that will implement it. there are some problems here. >> neil: i'll put you down as a maybe. ben stein what do you make of this? you know, that's the way its been for as long as we remember they always had these budgets on the brin

congress has yet to accomplish anything this year. republican leaders have spent more time fighting and insulting the people's president than anything that they could even imagine doing in the national interests and for the american people. during the august recess, speaker ryan actually repeatedly attacked president trump, begging the president not to end daca, attacking the president's entirely appropriate and correct pardon of sheriff arpaio, and also, claiming that the president messed up in his charlottesville response. by god, they're fools! even though even the left ultimately joined president trump acknowledging he is on the right side of history in his statements following charlottesville, acknowledging the evil of the leftist forces of antifa, as well as evil of white supremacists. as for senator mcconnell, he blamed the president's excessive expectations for the majority leader's failures in the senate. and he publicly questioned whether the president can salvage his presidency. don't worry, majority leader, the president i

i am sure that will pass congress. i am equally sure that the president will veto it. >> will you be shut out? >> i do not think so. not the right way to go. let's have more debate. more discussion. it seems like something the american people would take place. no deal is better than a bad deal. let's hold iran accountable. >> i have to press this. is it possible that president albano will push through a deal that allows the iranians to push through a deal? is that possible? >> let's hope not. and unconstitutional action. doing things that i do not think square with the principles of this country. that is why we need to engage. >> i am pushing hard here. i cannot imagine that you could get away with a sink out the will of the people. sign a deal. i cannot will leave that the president would shut you out like that. >> he should not. we've we should make sure that he does not. we should weigh in on this issue. that is how it worked. weighing in on these important issues. these important debates. >> they found lois lerner'

they had a legal duty to tell congress and if they told congress, they would have stopped the sale to the rub yaps. one name should be add to this, andrew wiseman signed off on it. guess where he is now? on robert mueller's special counsel town investigating trump/russia collusion when it appears that he and others were covering up hillary/russia collusion. >> and with all of this in front much congress now, there is 100 percent awareness with the congress and senate of what we are reporting and discussing now, how can there be hesitation and stop the nonsense and have the judiciary and intelligence committees turn to this issue and get it work. clinton corruption is not a figment of a political presidential campaign imagination. this is reality staring the entire country in the face corruption. >> it is clear that jeff sessions needs to get off his did you have and appoint a special counsel to investigate clinton and the use of foundation and fundling of russia and funneling money to the wallet of bill clinton. the key is the confidential informant. you can't hide it from congress so

he's pushing it to congress and trying to blame congress. congress is unlikely to be able to do anything on this as well, which will leave us in a vacuum. and i think our allies are right, that we are not going to be able to convince them and iran to change this deal. so if we want to confront iran, we ought to leave the deal in place -- which is flawed -- but use other ways to cop front iran. some of the things that president trump mentioned are good like putting more sanctions on the revolutionary guard, like pushing back in the places where iran is supporting terrorism and supporting hezbollah like in yemen, like in syria. but the act of not certifying and pushing this to congress is an extraordinarily weak act for a president who claims he's strong. neil: well, you could argue just as well, right, david, that his predecessor going about this unilaterally without involving congress, maybe for perfectly good reasons, couldn't get congress to get its act together, at the same time, it's one bold act defying another bold act. i will, rebecca

about working with the congress for the benefit of the american people. they don't buy it. we didn't buy it. the speaker didn't buy it. the invitation, which i'm so pleased prime minister netanyahu has accepted is a strong signal that the congress will watch this circumstance with a hawk and that we are going to take measures necessary to do our duty to protect the people of this country from a country like iran getting nuclear weapons. and we won't simply rely on what the president tells us when he stands there and tells us, i'll veto anything you try to do to put iran in check. it's legislation passed by the congress that has imposed the sanctions they already have that have brought us to the limited point we are. we need to push this president to take us a lot further to assure us that iran is not going to get nuclear weapons. lou: pushing him further. and the mccaul bill to secure our borders first bill moving today, do you believe that it can win significant support significant defined as veto-proof support? >> well, i don't know about veto-proof sup

judge napolitano: does congress know that members of congress are being spied upon by the intelligence community, our late friend, justice scalia said he knew that court was spied upon. >> i find it difficult to believe it was not happening. interesting, on occasion you have a colleague, i have colleagues said,tion w should we something in place po prohibit them from doing this to members of congress and court. judge napolitano: but not the rest of us? >> my response is, yes, but why would we not put in place protection for every american. judge napolitano: i will talk to you about something, hang on. about your new book. which i love, our lost declaration. america's fight again tyranny from king george to the deep state. i believe most critical feature in constitution, designed to prevent tyranny is separation of power. profoundly differing responsibility of each of three branches of federal government were to keep each business out of other two. does anybody in the senate where you work, still respect the constitution? >> yes. i would maintain that most members nearly every member, i

he went to congress. he went to congress rather than going unilaterally, rather than going it alone. that is what he could have done. now he said of something or if congress comes back and says no, we are at a stalemate. does he go back? lou: this may have the law of unintended consequences. this may be one time in which the law of unintended consequences benefits the law itself, and this case the constitution. to me it is clearly a matter of common sense, and the purpose of our founders. the 1973 war powers act is an abomination. >> presidents have gone in. lou: president after president have participated in farces of all kinds. the fact is that this might have a very positive results. >> only if congress does not give approval. lou: if things are right in my estimation, they seem right to me. >> we will see. lou: let's hope so. i will take that burden off of you. we appreciated, as always. to you think we will have a test of any kind? >> i'm not sure. a quiz after the show. lou: what? >> a quiz after th

i hope congress goes ahead with contempt of congress charges against rod rosenstein. lou: they haven't got the guts. >> they better fd the guts. an i would go farther to say they ought to impeach the guy. lou: they haven't got to guts. >> maybe you should run for congre. you would do it. lou: there's no telling what would do. because i couldn't tolerate being associated with people who haven't got the guts to stand up for the country. and that's exactly what we're watch in the republican congress when they permit a fraud and a shameless fraud like paul ryan to lead the conference into disaster, i just can't even conceive of what is motivating them. can>> no, i really can't. except that i do think that, you know, they get lulled into this idea that the status quo is the way things happen a they're all terrified of the next election. they're teared fied of actually fixing things and making things happen and it's why we're in the disaster that we're in. lou: think about an 18-year-old man or woman in this country watching what is happening. they look at the justice depar

congress is not one of the exceptions and the chairman knows it. kennedy: jordan brought it home with question,al yo all of you e been asking. >> why are we're here? seems we're here because the mueller report is not what the democrats thought it was going to be. it was just the opposite. >> he never has a sport coat. why are we're here? bill barr promised to turnover the report, what was point of today's hearing? joining me to discuss virginia republican congressman. he was there, ben klein. >> thank you. kennedy: what is point of this whole exercise? >> just democrat showing their hypocrisy. you know, couple years back they were all anxious to not turnover types of reports and now, they can't wait to get their happeneds on the mueller report, and they will break the law to do it. kennedy: here is my worry, in their rush to get the report, they will put the kind of pressure on attorney general according to him, working with special counsel to redact and they will error on side of caution to get it out quickly and over redact if they have a compres

they think they can get that through congress. i think, that a better way of doing this is to go ahead and pay our bills. that is a conversation i am happy to have. >> thank you, sir. you have spoken extensively about the debt ceiling debate, some republicans have said they are willing to allow a government shutdown to take place rather than put off deep spending cuts, are you prepared for that if you disagree with the spending cut proposals to put forward and who do you think the american people will blame if that came to pass? >> well, ultimately, congress makes the decisions about whether or not we spend money and whether or not we keep this government open. if the republicans in congress have made a decision that they want to shut down the government in order to get their way, then, they have the votes at least in the house of representatives to do that, i think that would be a mistake. i think it would be profoundly damaging to our economy, i think it would actually add to our deficit because it would impede growth. i think i

trump was elected as was the congress to fight this immigration. now everyone is trying to come up with a way to do it. dagen: thank you. special thanks to emily and adrian. adrian it was her first time here. the pan is setting their sights on the moon.eÑñ?ñ? why a new space race could the two profits that are out of thi? worldxñ?ñ? dagen: predictions. gary b, go. >> i bet you are like me. first thing you do in the morning is checked twitter. you have to. what did trump say in the last eight hours or so. he single-handedly spearheading this stock. maybe it's on the board of twitter but i think the stock is up 20% this year. dagen: jonas, you like it. >> i don't have many followers, so it can't be good. >> i follow you. >> you and five other people.iu? >> low prices benefit airlines. delta doc is up 20% this year. >> you like delta. >> it just keeps going up because it gets a gazillion miles. it was $10 a year ago now it's $50. it's just an oil play. i would sell it here. >> let's be honest, since the sony walkman has been launched it's been mo

the special counsel indicating he does not plan to testify before congress. he also reiterated the finding of his report which cleared the president of collusion but did not make a determination on obstruction. mueller said charging the president with a crime was not an option under guidelines that. [inaudible] is an attorney general william barrs reaction to that. >> i personally felt he could've reached a conclusion. >> the opinion says you can't indict a president while he's in office, but he could've reached a decision as to whether it was criminal activity. joining me now is republican congressman from texas. he sits on the house judiciary intelligence and homeland security. he's also former federal prosecutor. always a pleasure to see you. thanks for joining us. >> good morning maria. >> robert mueller, you just heard that sound from william bark, he said he had a team of approximately 40 fbi agents, forensic accountants, special counsel issued more than 2800 subpoenas, 230 orders for communication records 50 orders for pen registers, interviewed approx

lou: i worry about congress, too. congress knows cheryl mills goes back to president bill clinton and his administration and practiced the same destruction on emails and materials and documents during this administration. this is in the dna of the clinton cartel, is it not? this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. >> you make a good point. look at the irs scandal. we are trying to impeach the commissioner of the irs. even though we seen ad lois lerner *'s emails, the irs destroyed her emails. if the executive branch can do that with impunity and face no consequences, they will continue to do it. at least it shows congress is willing to impose consequences when people behave this way and obstruct justice. lou: the era of the imperial presidency has got to end. congress has been rendered insufficiently powerful or feeble to the point it's not a coequal bran than of government when it can be run over and dismissed by the executies as you say without consequences. justin cooper described matter of factly destroying bl

, congress was not aware of it. so could congress have done anything to, you know, get involved there, if the president made this decision unilaterally, and released the prisoners and did a swap? >> well, if this is -- given that this has happened. obviously, congress will want to know why it wasn't aware. its job is to do legislative oversight and executive oversight. and obviously, you can't do anything about the five that are gone. but you can do something percent pektively. and now is the time to have their oversight hearing. >> i guess the question is, is there any other course of action that the republicans should be taking? i mean, john boehner says continually that he is not brought into the discussion. congress has not brought into the discussion in some of these big decisions. is there any other course of action to be taking other than suing the president for misuse and overreach of executive orders? i mean, what are they supposed to do? >> fundamentally, i think they have to be as clear as possible as to

if they had told congress, congress would have surely stopped the sale of uranium to the russians. there is one other name i discovered. andrew wiseman. guess where he is now? he's on robert mueller's special counsel team investigating trump russian collusion when in fact it appears he along with the others were covering uphill are you russia collusion. lou: with all of this in front of congress now, there is i would guess 100% awareness of what we are reporting and discussing tonight. how can there be any hesitation? to the nonsense, have the judiciary and intelligence committees in both houses turn to this issue and get to work. because clinton corruption is not the figment of a political presidential campaign's imagination. this is reality staring the entire country in the face. corruption that is beyond any expectation. gregg: now it's clear jeff sessions needs to get off his duff and appoint a second special counsel to investigate hillary clinton over this uranium one deal and the use of her foundation and the funneling by russia allegedly of $145 million to clinton. you can't

gary b., if congress doesn't pass tax cuts, could that tank this market? >> gary: absolutely dagen. i'm surprised to hear mnuchin talk about the market almost like a threat but whether he meant it or not and whether he thinks that will get congress to pass tax cuts it's really immaterial. i don't think there's any resolution or legislation passed this year on tax cuts, so i look back and i'd say what is the market running on and it seems to me yes earnings are good and trump is doing a pretty good job cutting regulation but it seems to me honestly it's running on fumes. you know, people think dagen that the crash for example, in 87 was a one-day thing. it wasn't. it started back in august for crying outloud and that 22% drop we had on black monday was a part of an overall 35% trump. if we start going sideways and start tailing off and then we hear the news about the tax cuts , we could really have a pretty awful market. >> dagen: well john so far this past week, we didn't see a sideways market we had a new record on friday for all three major market gauges but if we don't get tax cu
