And economy r they right . Hi, everybody, im david asman, lets focus with mr. Steve forbes, elizabeth, sabrina and bruce jackson, steve, spend more . Dave, unfortunately we will have to spend more and a lot more under barack obama the budget declined, a couple of hundred billion dollars, trump is increasing it but not nearly enough, we need more ships, we need more equipment and we need to maintain what we have which we havent done in recent years, we also need radical reform of procurement system which wastes 25 billion a year. A lot has to be done. John, look at the percent of gdp that we spend in Military Hardware, it has come way down. We had the Peace Dividend during the clinton years after the end of the soviet union, thats when the big dip happened and we built up after 9 11 and its come down again. Coming down from a very high level. Even now we spend more on the military annually than the next
seven largest spending countries combined. David theyre not spending a lot, john. I
Joining us as Hillary Clintons former spokesman, suggesting we worked for Vladimir Putin for daring to ask about nato and montenegro. Its a serious question because Defense Guarantees or serious promises. Why would the United States promise to defend montenegro . Speak out the nato treaty has kept the peace since world war. I dont want your son to fight and montenegro. I dont want him to fight in germany or any of other of the9 nato countries but you are presenting nato as something likely to trigger a war when nato is in fact what has avoided war. While the soviet union has fallen, the russians are incredible tucker the reason i thought of montenegro and suggested there was some putin reason why you did, there was a much more prosaic reason because it just joined nato. Are you suggesting we owe them a Defense Guarantee . Im not looking at montenegro im looking at the full 29 countries. Tucker thats how bad decisions get made, one people to look at the statistics. How many times as the
A news show featuring the top headlines of the day from pop culture to politics, which are discussed by a rotating panel of four women and one man. Harris i hear you saying david it sounds like the m. O. It sounds like their m. O. But the fact is that for decades and, of course, we got to realize Vladimir Putin is part of the old soviet union. K. G. B. Guy at heart. They have been trying to sow dissent in the United States since stalin was in power and even before that. They continue to do that. Its just the method of delivery has changed. That is what theyre focusing on now. There hasnt been enough done in the past. Probably isnt enough done now. I dont think it is ever going to stop. Harris senator Lindsey Graham says he is working to introduce a russia, quote unquote, sanctions bill from hell. Go for it. Trump has been tough on russia, as we should. So i have no problem to continue sanctions on russia. Of course we have to take the Cyber Security issues seriously. We should make sur
Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Finance violations. Far worse crimes committed by others. Earlier today, bret baier raises very, very important question. Lets take a look. Speak of Campaign Finance violation, because the way he phrased it, he was directed by the candidate to do that and submitted that money to be repaid by the trumpy organization, that is a direct liability. But i cany. Already see the bate lines being drawn here illegally because i just got an email saying the fact that he pleads guilty to Campaign Violations does not mean that the payments were criminal violations. This did not go to trial and you could have people like former fec chairman Bradley Smith saying that payment is not a violation, which is what Rudy Giuliani was saying in his interview earlier. So that, you can arty begin to the Trump Lawyers potentially, and others, make my case that this would not be a violation. Obviously the prosecutors. Sayig it is and Michael Cohen is on the
and the new fbi, the old fbi responding to the scenarios and the negotiators and the hostage rescue capabilities and the evidence processing afterwards, versus sort of the d.o.j. bent towards right wing domestic terrorists, which seems to be where they are spring loaded to go these days. ignore the left wing domestic terrorists, international terrorism is not as much of a problem as it used to be, let s focus only on right wing domestic terrorism, and i hate to think the fbi is buffetted by the d.o.j., the agent work hard on the ground to get the good result and tainted by that. sandra: you are giving a lot of credit to the h.r.t., the rescue team, did a good job in this case. but you go on chris, i ll ask you the last question. why the building was assaulted
