obamacare. and you know, one thing also, the obamacare premiums were previous to us were going up like rocket ships. they're not going up very much. we have really kept them down. while we have taken -- i mean, we have really changed that whole situation around. we have done a great job. if you look at your premiums, nothing's perfect but i'll tell you what, if the democrats were running it, you were going up 120%, 150%. now you're just going up a very little bit. some of them aren't going up at all. we have done a great job but we will be getting rid of it entirely, but we got rid of the most -- we got rid of the most obnoxious provision i think i have seen in just about any contract. you have the right to pay for the privilege of not having to pay for bad health care. in other words, you pay so that you don't have to pay, but that payment's a little less than the second payment so you say oh, i won't have health care. i'll pay not to -- you're paying for not having health care. we got rid of i

the abuse of that by president barack obama, obamacare system and authorities if you will, politicians everywhere saying that this is a new normal, that this will never get better and that conflicts with what we see around us. you've got young people who have never had a chance at saving money for the idea of buying a home when they are still living in their parents basement. so their life experience has been false. it has been a false dynamic. the president is bringing people up when it comes to the unemployment rate and wages are going up. look at these pockets in the inner cities of these major american cities. chicago, los angeles, new york where liberal policies continue to drive people's aspirations down. there is a balkanization assert politics want to perpetuate and it affects those on the margins for people of color, the poor in general. >> i agree with some of what tammy has said that took to heart what ms. king said about being in this together. we have always had income inequalities that is happening here. it's happening around the world. inequality across oecd countries ha

obamacare is front and center at the event and start being the president's agenda on the front and now they're looking out for their own highs. that is that democrats are looking for. the president seems to be impervious to their bowling, but all of these other people are not. democrats are counting on taking control of the house in using all these different committees. not just one committee, not just impeachment, but harassment at every level of the administration or in congress. that is a significant risk if we don't perform well in the midterms. lou: as you and i have discussed, as the chair of the rnc, mcdaniels has pointed out, every republican should be attaching themselves to the trump agenda. we are told as many as 40% are not doing that. that's why a lot of savants are very worried about keeping control of the house because the chamber of commerce, paul ryan is doing nothing apparently. i am told reliably he's not raising money. he can't raise money because he's a lame duck and not particularly beloved by his party. he's not campaigning for anybody. why in the world does the

"fox news poll," recent polls showed obamacare was rated more highly than the republican tax cuts which is alarming. stuart: that's right. he has to get out there and pound the table. >> i think he is is right about the senate. the demographics favor the -- it is a lot harder for kind of bernie fever to take over in a senate race, statewide seat. it favors republicans, all these trump state democrats up for re-election. the house is a little different, you can have a much more liberal district and suburban district, with a lot more woman who are more skiddish about the president. stuart: i don't think investors scare about scandals, impeachment talk. >> they might care but we're getting it, if the democrats take the house there will be a move to impeach the president. stuart: if you don't roll back the tax cuts, and the deregulation, if that stays in place, investors don't have much to worry about, impeachment or no? >> i think investors hate uncertainty, that is one thing trump has done for them in terms of regulation and we're not coming at you again tomorrow with something. that i th

. >> i also think it is interesting when you look at that fox news poll people saying obamacare was more popular than tax reform based on on that poll what is important there is 25% americans are not sure what the tax plan means for them yet i think we are going to see his -- his numbers grow, even more. in the economy, than they have today as people start to really process what tax reform means it means for them. also you think about what is happening when people get premiums in mail i think increased optimism what people think about the economy. dagen: we know in states premium increases are less than they have been in years past and in some areas, those premiums are actually falling year-over-year. so it is not as bad -- first glance, as some people anticipated it will be interesting to see certainly helped president trump in 2016 we will see who it helps in 2018. exactly. >> finish my thought. >> my last e-mail. >> e-mail fras, taking a bite out of apple history details on rare working computer hitting the auction block later this hour. ♪ . >> 2018 u.s. open kicks off in new york m

look at fox poll, gop tax lawless popular than obamacare? joining us congressman jim renacci, republican from ohio. you helped write the law. listen we put it right to you, the tax message, it doesn't seem to be resonating. all of this great news reflected in the economy. how come we don't see it in polls? >> good morning, charles, polls don't say everything. i've been traveling the state for the last couple weeks. i'm going to county fairs. i'm talking to people, they're happy, they're energized. they see more money their pocket. they're thanking me for having the additional money. those are the crumbs nancy pelosi talked about. those are the extra dollars they now have to fix the refrigerator or repair their car. they're happy about that. they're seeing that in their paycheck. so what we're seeing in polls is not, again, not reflective what i'm seeing on the ground. people in ohio are very, very positive. charles: well, the obamacare though, i mean it is, it is, i one of these things, of course any government program feels like once it has

>> we've known for a long time obamacare is divisive issue. the percentage of people who say they favor it, even support it in this poll is 51%. that is not something to write home about, however the gop tax plan is 40% approval that should be concerning for republicans. it should be reminder they need to communicate well what the law does, state of the economy. reminding people, objective our economy is in pretty good shape. on the other hand, obamacare is 8-year-old law now, it is enjoying status quo advantage, people perceive some benefits from the law, especially people newly-enrolled in medicaid and generous taxpayer-funded subsidies to lower their cost of insurance. they may not see the cost of insurance has been skyrocketing. melissa: other thing struck me unfavorables are really high. if you look at people who view the tax law unfavorably, 41%, more than are favor ann, and unfavorable on obamacare, 44%. sort of like, when you ask people, they hate, they're quick to say they hate stuff too. >> that's right. why i said it has been divisi

tax law. 51% favorable opinion of obamacare. come on in please, i need help on this one with, fox news contributor jason chaffetz, former republican congressman. author of the book, the deep state. how is that going? >> it is good. available for sale now. the deep state. stuart: i hope you get it. let's get serious. those polls spell serious political trouble for the president and what say you? >> enthusiasm gap is real in a non-presidential election year. who will get their base, motivate their people to get out. i happen to think the economy is good, they may not equate that directly to the tax cuts. i think republicans in general have done a pathetic job trying to message on this you don't see any national ad campaigns. you don't see a real push out there explaining what is happening and why the drivers of the economy are moving forward. republicans have always been pretty lame in this category. and they will pay a price. stuart: we have to say that the media is uniformly ignoring good economic news. look, i got three major n

rate the tax cuts, i don't know, lee, if this is relevant or not, but they rate tax cuts most than obamacare. >> yeah, i think it is really interesting how things are stacking up and if you look at the parallels right now to how the generic ballot is looking, the republicans are losing ground on the generic ballot again, things were looking good for republicans, they lost about 8 points in generic ballots depending on which polls you're looking, i'm concerned for republicans right now as you look at numbers. yes, he gets credit for the economy, only 44% are giving him credit versus other places. i would also be interest today see if you asked, are you going to give democrats or republicans credit, i don't think that people are giving republicans credit for the economy, i think they are giving the president and i think that's going to have impact on republicans going in the midterm as well. maria: surprising given the fact that rollback in regulations and tax rates have boosted economic growth, 4.1% gdp in the last quarter, yesterday we talked about atlanta fed, and yet these numbers seem low

joining me now managing editor and one of the world's foremost obamacare health care experts is back in action. this looks like a great case of individualism versus statism and she really wants the state to be the moral arbiter of everything. >> elizabeth warren just as uncomfortable with corporations deciding what they want to do. instead she wants the federal government to do it. the point that you mentioned that came out yesterday is a follow-up to a plan that came out last week that was really a reinvention in which he proposes reinventing corporate governance and in particular billion-dollar companies would have to get a federal charter rather than the state charter so she would be moving the locus of control from the state government to the federal government. that is a big deal. i think what you really see with both of these plans and when you put them together is elizabeth warren and justice and comfortable with market mechanisms with leaving corporations to figure out how they want to run their business. instead what she wants is for lawmakers, for the federal government to

we got rid of the most unpopular part of obamacare, where you have the privilege of paying a fortune for not having to pay a fortune for really bad health care. we got rid of it. a lot of people are very happy about it. that came along with the biggest tax cut in our history. in joe manchin voted no on the tax cuts. [booing] you know, the last time i was here i saw signs along the highway. choke on the voted no on tax cuts. and joe, you voted no for our president. and he is going to vote no. i am not knocking him. the schumer is the boss and he may give us a vote on justice kavanaugh. you should. this is what we want. this is a great, brilliant man. but joe is just not voting with us. he is voting against tax cuts. he is voting against repeal and replace. he votes against the things that we want and he votes against the people of west virginia. you can't do that. you know, joe opposed the wall and he opposed the travel ban. and by the way, the wall right now, that wall is coming along. we are over $3 billion. it is moving along very nicely.

we called on congress to overturn the obamacare giveaway to big farm that, that lets them increase prices without any kind of penalty on their drugs. so there is much that congress can and should do but we're continuing to act with the powers that we have. stuart: the administration wants to sue the opioid makers. that's its response to the opioid crisis. i believe 23 states are suing the opioid makers. i put it to you, mr. secretary, that is their approach to getting rid of this addiction problem but it will inevitably in the long run raise the price of opioids which many people do rely on for the relief of extreme pain. your comment, sir. >> that won't get rid of the opioid crisis but it does help determine accountability for how we got into this crisis in our country. president trump's direction, the justice department joined in that litigation. he has directed the attorney general and for us to work with the attorney general if there is any further accountability or basis for litigation to assure any entities that brought this crisis that ravages our country, that there is full accoun

we did have tax hikes under president obama, obamacare, we had more regulation and what that tells me is that the underlying technologies that we're inventing today, whether they be apps or cracking the genome or fracking or 3d printing, that productivity is so powerful that it's creating profits even when the government makes mistakes. and now president trump has cut corporate tax rates, cut regulation and that's unleashing this technology even more. so i think this bull market has a lot more to run. stuart: okay. we do like to hear that, brian, i got to say. come back anytime and say it, especially on a monday morning. >> all right. stuart: wesbury, you're all right. >> love to be with you, stuart. stuart: by the way we're up 116 on the dow. >>> now the saudis as in saudi arabia, they're showing interest in a test a rival, not good news for tesla. ashley: elucid motors, electric car company found by one. members, former vp at tesla. they don't sell any cars right now but it could fit the saudis sovereign wealth fund portfolio. they could put in up to billion dollars which is modest

under obamacare their premiums went up 44%. i got my legislature, democrats and republicans alike to go along with it but i needed the administration to help us. the past administration under obama didn't do things like that. this administration did. i do what i can to fight for the state wisconsin, when i have a good connection from the president to the vice president, anyone in washington willing to help people in my state i will look to enhance that. if on occasion i disagree with him, i will disagree and stand up for the people of wisconsin. neil: governor, we're very close to a nafta deal we're told with mexico, not necessarily with canada. i was in fact surprised to learn yesterday when they had the spray in the cabinet room the president hasn't been talking to the canadians for some time. does that concern you, we might get a half a nafta deal, with mexico and maybe not with canada? >> canada is number one trading partner in wisconsin as many states. we want a good trade be relationship with them. this is prime example b

it will be like what they did with obamacare and campaign on doing x, but when they get in they won't, and this is where everybody has got a problem with congress in this country because of how they approach election. >> trying to work out exactly what's going on here. if the democrats win control of the house in november, then she would be the speaker of the house. but she has to stand for election -- >> that's correct. to be the leader of the party. >> the winner of that election. now if you have a wave of -- people like xangd ya and cortez winning the left. but they won two out of the 5 individuals that they endorse you're looking at the republicans of one what was it, eight out of nine special elections. there is not a wave of people going in there that are presenting new leadership. or new vision, that's not going to happen it is going to be the regular and if you did want to vote someone else in you're voting someone many to raise money and win electionings. if they have won elections then nancy pelosi is also right back in and the left will not have enough push to change those

that was from obamacare. that was by far the most unpopular thing in obamacare. we actually got rid of obamacare except for one vote, but we essentially, so we are doing it piecemeal. it's going to be gone pretty soon. fantastic job. i heard great things about the health care plan and a lot of people are signing up. lot of associations are signing up far ahead of what we even projected. >> that's correct. yes. >> maybe i could just, i will finish off with secretary purdue. the farmers. we love the farmers. you know, our farmers are brave and they are great patriots. as you know, china sort of attacked our farmers by trying not to buy from our farmers. they know the farmers like trump and i like them. and they are, i hear, despite everything, they are starting to really do well. they got out there like they are, they are incredible patriots but they are incredible entrepreneurs and they are selling the corn and they are selling the soybean and they are selling everything at levels that are pretty good levels. you know, our farmers have been hurt for 15 and 20 year

but look at pled calling fo medr all, and obamacare, that is described as socialist, president bill clinton could never win a primary because they have gone from free markets and individuals to socialism of future, but stephen colbert want to say, hol hold on don't say te word. liz: they would more than double federal debt. i think that bernie sanders is poison and a disaster for this country. >> it is frightening how much the kids like him. >> thank you. liz: sec sending a sou subpoenao tesla after musk hinte he can considers taking the company private, charlie gasparino broke that story earlier in the day, tesla stock is down. fox business will stay on the story for you,. >> next up several trump indoirtseendorsed candidates lon primary victories last night, what is this about a blue wave. liz: we'll talk about this coming up after the break, so stay there w, stacking up the memories and the miles and the years. he's gonna get mine but i'm gonna get a new one! oh yeah! he's gonna get mine but i'm gonna get a new one! when it's time for your old chevy truck to become their new chevy truck,

they were mad when republicans failed to repeal obamacare. they were upset when the house and senate gave the president a terrible omnibus funding bill and they want to see that change. so someone like pawlenty, who they know really well but they see as not being loyal to the president or potentially not loyal, they are not going to go with him. they went with the outsider and said we will take a chance, but we want a republican congress that will help the president. neil: now, not that you are advising the president or advising republicans, where would he be most beneficial in the fall, if you are trying to get the big gun out to help you? where would you want him? >> yeah, what you see time and time again is the rural vote is very strongly for the president. somewhat the suburban. so you want him out there activating that base in the midwest and in the south that is the rural trump voter. we're a little worried those folks may decide well, he's not on the ballot so i will stay home this time. neil: right. right. >> if the president is out t

lower, people have access to more choice, they have to be reminded that there's fundamental flaws in obamacare and the reasons we are seeing higher premiums, the reason we are seeing higher premiums because the law was poorly designed and that case continues to be made in addition to what the alternative looks like. neil: kevin, i noticed that former governor of minnesota lost, he's been critical of donald trump, donald trump was backing the other guy and the other guy won, what do you make of the effect the sort-backing? >> you know, i think it's important that you can't dismiss president trump's endorsement, right, especially because his base is so behind everything he does and it just -- it's a testament to really what's happening in the united states today, right, who did he take out, he took out the bush's and the clintons and that says something, that shows america wants change going into 2018. we are talking about health care, we can't afford it, 16 trillion in unfunded liability that is will start to hit the balance, we can't afford the current system, medicare for all system would nev

you know, it feels like all the efforts to repeal, completely repeal obamacare have been exhausted. are there other measures that can be done on the government level, and how would that impact the economy? >> well, no doubt it's a politically difficult situation, but the trump administration has taken steps to try to deregulate health insurance. the reason that health insurance costs are so high is there's a lack of competition due to the overstandardization of the plans available on the market. we've got to get back to a competitive marketplace where small business owners and individuals who buy their own insurance feel like they have more than one option in terms of insurance carrier. we know that consolidation in the insurance market means bad news for consumers. charles: of course, hitha, we do get the government's retail numbers tomorrow. they've been on a tear as well. one thing i've noticed is people spending money out at restaurants, that's gone up. to me, that's a sign of confidence. but what do you anticipate? what do you see? erin brought up housing. that has been, perhap

authorization bill has john mccain's name on it alluded to john mccain many occasions talked about obamacare revisions not going through what do you make of all of that. >> look, i mean the bill is named in honor of senator mccain recognition of the service to country despite the issues and differences the president may have with senator mccain there is no question senator mccain served this country honorably with dignity fitting that as he continues to battle the who were diseased that he is we can pay tribute utah to service sacrifice he made for her country. >> i think everyone agrees with you i think a great sign really is did get rid of some it very vee oo oo ool -- vitrioe complicated a battle with turkey many in media are saying hey the white house maybe biting off more than it could chew should we be at war with russia, china, iran and turkey and our allies all at the same time? >> i am not sure we are at war with any of them i think the reality is the president is finally is fulfilling promises to fight for american workers ensure there is a level-playing field for our -- our for wh

david: the gop famously failed in the first year and a half of the trump administration to get rid of obamacare. president trump is trying to tweak it through regulations or deregulations in many cases. is that going far enough? >> they are doing what they can, offering short-term insurance policies so you can get affordable insurance policies, instead of the disasters on the exchanges, but what they should be pushing for november elections is health savings accounts for all. remove all the restrictions. even if you don't have a health insurance plan you can set up a health savings account for daily, routine expenses. go with that. treat it like ira. have something exciting to put out there. >> steve, i want make a switch to trade. you're very much of a free trader. you've criticized trump administration imposing tariffs, threatening to do well. t.j. rodgers, great libertarian you know well. >> sure. david: one. free market guys in silicon valley, he actually came out in support of what some of trump is doing with regard to china. let me play the sound bite of him saying that, get your reaction

the only thing that he really got done was obamacare which has since been dismantled. the democrats lost a thousand see9s across the -- seats across the country -- connell: you think that's what led to this. >> i think 2016 was a referendum on barack obama, and that's why when trump was like what do you have to lose, it resonated with some folks because they were disappointed with what happened with barack obama. and, of course; we also have to remember hillary clinton, super predators, the criminal justice bill that she passed -- didn't pass herself, obviously, but advocated for in 1994 devastated the african-american community. so it's a very complex thing. connell: it is interesting because kanye west wouldn't be noted as a conservative even when he's talking about politics. years ago he was very critical of president bush at the time and said -- and jimmy kim asked askedmel -- kim el asked him about this. what i said earlier, deneen, i thought it brings up bigger questions kind of long term is that when we get into the midterms and the re-election campaign in 2020,

they've ever used any form of welfare, in other words, you can have a green card but if you signed up for obamacare, you can't go onto citizenship, that seems harsh, doesn't it? >> yeah, look, stuart i would -- i agree with you, i think that the immigrant population much like the rest of the population needs to have some form of a safety net but i think the general idea here is that people that are going to come to the united states are got to come to make and not to take, they have to give, not just receive, and so i think it is important cha we choose people more carefully, those that are going to come in the country and that's going to alleviate a lot of the problems that we have. stuart: a lot of people will take on people that you and i, we have to be more careful on we select to come here, both of us have foreign accents both of us come from some place else, do you get flak, do you, sir? >> look, i'm really happy to be in the same camp as you, stuart, both of us don't have beards, both of us use gillette razers. stuart: great book, good guy, thank you, nick. >> look forward to it. stuart: sur

he gave us obamacare that saw our premiums rise 20%. i'm looking forward to debating and campaigning here in pennsylvania and being a vote in the senate that keeps our economy going. lou: can you imagine that you will have to debate somebody who wants to raise taxes, who wants to support sanctuary cities, who doesn't believe in america first, who doesn't appreciate a president who has changed the mind-set of the entire country? i was just saying earlier on the broadcast, do you remember when it was a big deal, the national left-wing media trying to make a big deal out of president trump's america first policies? and now people accept, you know, we really have a president who is putting this country and americans first. >> they feel good about it. they feel good that we finally have a president that is sticking up for them saying, we're going to fight for or workers, our jobs, you know. again, i couldn't be happier to be in a debate and debate those issues. lou: well you know, you're going into this general election with, i think, a pret

kennedy: we still have obamacare. are the american people suffering because of obamacare? >> no, they are suffering because the premiums are going up. but back -- the truth of the matter is this. kennedy: i want ned top respond to that point. >> there are bills in the house from gary palmer, the dealt with preexisting conditions that democrats voted against. >> i said it's not a law. >> no democrats are going to vote for it. this side of the aisle, you know what? we want to pass through the deal with the preexisting condition is a smart approach. we want healthcare reform. if we can't get democrats in the senate to vote along and bring real reform and obstruct, we can't have solutions for the american people. >> that's a red herring. >> no, it's not. >> republicans have a majority in the house. if they wanted to get something done on healthcare, they have democrats willing to work with them to get something done. even republicans voted against it. so let's not have this krmt about democrats being obstructionists and maybe the republicans will couple with ideas to fix our h

even subsidize obamacare. >> food stamps and subsidized obamacare, they are lawful products. if you meet the poverty level requirement. and you cannot punish a person in america for partaking in a lawful product, particularly one offered by the same government that is purporting to punish them. stuart: if you come out and say we don't want immigrants to a burden there is nothing wrong with it. >> correct, it would be an easier case if they started anew and said whoever comes in after august 8, 2018 and participates in this program is going to get back of the line for citizenship. they'd be on notice. stuart: which is what president trump wants to do with a new immigration policy and put it right up-front. you can't come here unless can you show you're not going to be a burden on the public purse. >> none of this can be done by the executive branch. this is legislation, this has to be done by congress if this is the president's way of getting the congress to think about immigration, that's a legitimate political technique, but the proposal itself is standing alone, coming from

plan to limit legal immigration, legal immigrants who use welfare programs, including food stamps and obamacare could be under this new program, be denied green cards or permanent residency under the administration's new proposal. the trump administration says the changes to current rules could be made without congressional authority. and joining us tonight, james freeman, he's assistant editor at "the wall street journal," fox business contributor and coauthor of the newly released book "borrowed time, two centuries of booms, busts and bailouts jts. first, congratulations on the book. great to have you with us. we recommend it to you highly. james is a terrific journalist obviously and this is a terrific book. >> wow, thanks lou. lou: and citi bank is such an institution in our economy, our society and also obviously, needless to say, the city. what made you gravitate to this extraordinary institution? >> well my coauthor, the brains of the operation, of course, came to me -- lou: i love that false modesty. >> he had interesting research that bate basically sit said whn this was a free market
