FATE OF BREXIT REMAINS HAVE MUCH
UP IN THE AIR.
LIZ: THOUSANDS OF FRENCH
STUDENTS PROTESTING.
LET'S BRING IN AN EXPERT FROM
THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION.
GREAT TO SEE YOU.
THE ECONOMY IS DOING GREAT IN
THE U.S.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON WHAT'S GOING
ON IN FRANCE.
IT'S SINKING BELOW THE U.K.,
IRELAND AND SWITZERLAND.
>> THERE IS GLOOM IN THE U.K.
BUT THAT STORY WILL END WELL.
FRANCE WILL NOT END WELL.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE ADVOCATING FOR
IS MORE OF A GOVERNMENT THAT
DOESN'T WORK.
WHAT THEY NEED IS VEAL ECONOMIC
FREEDOM AND SOMETIME LATERRING
THE ECONOMY FROM REAL GROWTH AND
JOBS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT MACRON WILL GIVE
THEM.
LIZ: THERE IS HYPER REGULATION.
FRANCE AND GERMANY SET THE TONE
FOR THE E.U.
BUT NOW WHAT SPARKED THIS,
JAMES, THE HIGHER GAS TAXES, WE
HAVE CANADA TALKING ABOUT A
CARBON TAX.
DO GAS TAXES OR CARBON TAXES
STOP GLOBAL WARMING?
>> THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR
THAT.
THE PROBLEM IS WHAT THE PEOPLE
OF FRANCE ARE ARGUING, EVERYBODY
WANTS LOWER TAXES, BUT THEY WANT
THE FRENCH SYSTEM THAT PROPPED
THEM UP FOR YEARS WHICH GIVES
THEM SOMETHING FOR NOTHING AND
IT HAMSTRINGS PRODUCTIVITY.
THE GREAT SAVIOR OF EUROPE WILL
PROBABLY BE DONALD TRUMP.
WE ARE NOT ABANDONING EUROPE
FROM A SECURITY PERSPECTIVE.
WE ARE KEEPING THE TRANSATLANTIC
COMMUNITIES TOGETHER.
BUT TRUMP WILL BEAT THESE GUYS
AND FORCE THEM TO BECOME
ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE.
THEY WILL HAVE TO DEREGULATE
LIKE THE UNITED STATES.
THE PERSON THEY HATE THE MOST OF
IS THE ONE WHO OFFERS THEM THE
BEST PROMISE GOING FORWARD.
SAYING I'LL CUT YOUR TAXES AND
GIVE YOU A BONUS, THAT'S NOT
GOING TO GIVE YOU JOBS.
LIZ: THE WAY THEY RUN THEIR
ECONOMY IS A FAILED SOCIALIST
MODEL.
BUT JAMES DON'T WE HAVE A DANGER
HERE?
OUR BUREAUCRATIC STATE IS
GROWING.
CONGRESS IS NOT DOING ITS JOB.
IT'S LETTING THE AGENCIES DO IT.
THE BUREAUCRATS ARE MAKING THE
RULES AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY ARE DOING.
>> I WORK IN A NON-PARTISAN
THINK TANK.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THIS
PRESIDENT HAS DONE.
THEY TRIED TO CUT THROUGH ALL
THE PROBLEMS YOU JUST MENTIONED
IN TWO WAYS.
THIS GOVERNMENT IS FORCING
DEREGULATION.
WE USED TO DO A REPORT AT
HERITAGE CALLED RED TAPE RISING.
WE DON'T WRITE THAT REPORT
ANYMORE BECAUSE EACH WE ARE WE
ARE NOT GETTING MORE LEG LACES,
WE ARE GETTING LESS -- MORE
REGULATIONS, WE ARE GETTING
LESS.
AMERICA IS GOING TO BE SAFE FROM
THE KIND OF PROBLEMS YOU JUST
MENTIONED.
EUROPE WILL LOOK BACK ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC AND SAY WE WANT WHAT
THEY WANT.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO
MOVE HERE LIKE THE PEOPLE FROM
GUATEMALA.
THEY WILL WANT EUROPE TO BE MORE
LIKE AMERICA.
LIZ: 158 PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE
WORLD WANT TO COME HERE, JAMES.
>> THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN
DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS OUR
ECONOMY.
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT SLOWING
GROWTH NEXT YEAR.
WE MIGHT DROP TO 2.9%.
FIVE YEARS AGO IF YOU SAID
AMERICA WOULD GROW AT 2.9%,
PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH YOU OUT OF
THE ROOM.
WE ARE GOING TO DRAG THE
EUROPEANS INTO THE FUTURE
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WILL DEMAND
