last 20 years. that s not hot president is. the president believes that it s america first and the idea that you just criticized him from the sidelines. this is a man who doesn t want to be interventionist. he uses force where it s necessary, for example, with his crew cruise missiles and 21,000 bombing in afghanistan. to say we need more of the kinds of things we saw in the last 16 years. senator mccain, no we don t. steve: let me ask you because have you been down in washington a lot in the last year. what do you make of this civil war that steve bannon has started against the republican establishment? because yesterday we saw the president out with mitch mcconnell. they were all buddy buddy. the president needs michigan this week. because he has got to get that budget thing through or there is no taxes. i gave a speech for the family research council where i said very plainly what has the establishment g.o.p. done for this president in the last nine months? and that s a very short
agenda, november the 8th was a clear message to the rino establishment that you can t get elected on an agenda, come to d.c. and then renege on it and not come through with all the things you promised. it s time to rattle those cages a little bit. i think mitch mcconnell s cage was rattled. it s about time. this president was the outsider. he wasn t part of the g.o.p. establishment. and there is a reason a man who never held public office is now the president of the united states. ainsley: is there something happening behind the scenes? it just seems odd to me that you have steve bannon who left the white house and he has this agenda to try to do things on the outside that he couldn t do on the inside. but then you have the president in the rose garden with mitch mick council and they had said some negative things one another and now they are buddy, buddy, what is happening? the president is the master of the deal. right? he is going to work with people who he thinks he can work with
if you don t work with him g.o.p. remember that dinner with chuck and nancy. that s a message. that s a broadside to the g.o.p. i have got to get things done. you don t want to help me, i will talk to somebody else. steve: the last time that the president came face to face with mitch mcconnell is the day after he did the deal with chuck and nancy. mitch mcconnell and paul ryan are like, he what? are you kidding me? this is a guy no breaks the mold. you can t judge this president by prior political trends or categories. is he here to get stuff done. and get on board or get out of way. steve: exit question, do they get taxes done this year? yes, they have to. steve: all right. good enough. the wall street journal likes to hear that because they have been talking all about it in the op-ed pages in the last week or two. sebastian gore gorka. thank you. ainsley: d.e.a. was blocked from taking action. ed davis says this makes him
he joins us 20 minutes ago and said this. we need to turn this economy around. it s become under the president s leadership. we actually created 1.7 million jobs. unemployment out lowest it s been in 16 years. the economy grew only 1.8% in the obama years. the lowest since the great depression for any president. we need to boost it by making sure to provide backs relief to the american people and help keep jobs here in america. we need it done this year. steve: key is they need to do it this week. they have got to pass the budget resolution this week or else taxes are dead for the year. here is the critical parted ainsley and brian. the fact that thad cochran, the senator from the great state of mississippi, he is not going to be back this week for a vote. he is not in great shape right now. don t know when he is going to return. that means mitch mcconnell can only lose one republican and that s why so many people out there who voted for republicans and had hopes in president trump b
think his biggest fans don t get it because he says things are not supposed to say and ways are not supposed to say them. it s kind of brilliant because we re not talking about charlottesville. harris: sandra? sandra: wow. going back to dance point, there is a reason to have different tones, it seems like the media, this is not a fair fight. dan: it s only a story because it s trump. marie: at the rhetoric is different than any other president and i watched that rally in phoenix, i wanted to be able to do a campaign rally without calling people on american without saying journalists hate their country. without saying it s them versus us. i ve seen many politicians give campaign rallies they don t end
