KENNEDY: WHERE IS OUR BOOMING
ECONOMY HEADED IN THE NEXT YEAR?
THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLL SAYS
32% OF VOTERS SAY IT WILL GET
BETTER.
37% SAY IT WILL STAY THE SAME.
ONLY 27% SAY IT WILL GET WORSE.
THE LABOR DEPARTMENT REPORTED
THE FEWEST NUMBER OF AMERICANS
ON UNEMPLOYMENT.
MY NEXT GUEST IS THE AUTHOR OF
"THE CAPITALIST COMEBACK."
ANDY PUZDER.
EVEN IF THERE IS ECONOMIC
SUCCESS ENJOYED THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE ECONOMIC STRATA, THAT
THERE ARE LEFTISTS WHO WILL
STAND IN THE WAY BECAUSE THEY
DON'T LIKE THE PRESIDENT.
AND IT'S SAD.
>> IT'S NOT JUST THAT THEY DON'T
LIKE THE PRESIDENT.
WITH THE TERRIBLE ECONOMY WE HAD
UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IF PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SUCCESSFUL
IT PUTS THE LIE TO THIS NOTION
THAT WEALTH IS A ZERO SUM GAME.
IT'S LIKE JOHN KENNEDY SAID, A
RISING ECONOMIC TIDE LIFTS ALL
BOATS.
KENNEDY: I KNOW YOU HAVE TAKEN
ISSUE WITH DODD-FRANK.
THESE BIG BANKS ARE ESSENTIALLY
GETTING A PASS FROM LEGISLATION
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT
CONSUMERS AND SMALL BANKS, BUT
IT'S DONE NEITHER.
>> I RAN A BIG COMPANY.
140,000 EMPLOYEES MADE UP OF
SMALL COMPANIES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF FRANCHISEES.
SO I WAS DEALING WITH SMALL
BUSINESSES ALL THE TIME.
AND THEY WERE GETTING KILLED BY
DODD-FRANK BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY
BANKS THEY RELIED ON FOR FUNDING
WERE CLOSING.
KENNEDY: A LOT OF TIME SMALL
BUSINESSES, AND SMALL INVESTORS
HAD TO GO TO SOMEONE THEY KNEW
IN THEIR TOWN TO GET A LOAN.
