if the president was elected, we have seen the exact opposite. we also see the administration taking strong steps to keep this growth going, whether it s cutting more regulations, obviously there s been a lot of discussions about whether there will be a fed interest rate cut coming in the future but more importantly, you have the president negotiating not only to get the u.s. mca passed but also dealing with china, getting china to the table and the long-term impacts of both of those deals are very good for the american economy. i was just reading what some of these economists are predicting next year. in terms of promises made, promises kept, one of the promises the president made is to get rid of the national debt within eight years. since the president has taken office, the national debt has risen from 19.9 trillion to $22 trillion, the deficit is up nearly 40% this year. is that a promise kept? well, it s something that continues to need to be worked on, and what the president
what i read. i wrote on your words, the president negotiating. it may be his style to push the negotiations to a breaking point. a lot of corporate people are like that, right? that s how they get their deal done. it s called skin of the game for them. it works out in the end. this is not been working out. we are looking at two paychecks mist, and fox news polling found the 54% of people cannot live by missing two paychecks. and keep their financial lives together. that includes getting to and from work, those jobs that may be they are not being paid for right now. it includes child care. it includes a whole list of things that to ms. paychecks change the world martha: you combine that with the fact that he s now got security concerns of the airports. and that s an important thing for politicians to say, hang in there, it ll be okay. what you start dealing with nation security, air traffic situations, with tsa, they say
president is governing what he ran, to do whatever he feels like at any given time. roe. that is the status quo. we should take him at his word. this is what he wants to do. believe him. is the damage done to our nato allies and others permanently. this is contrary to what so many generations. ronald reagan. i think ambassador bolton said it best. we are very pro nato. leaning on the gdp is believable. the german gdp almost collapsed yesterday, got put back together again. england is leaving and the united kingdom is leaving brexit. and the talking points is the president negotiating what they need to do to get to 2%. there is a through line in the president s behavior and reactions, he s very skeptical and extremely critical of international accords he didn t
sure. what chairman kim was going to say. yeah, i mean, i think there is only country that s ever given up nuclear weapon, south africaca. hard to imagine any country ever doing that so short i mean, if the north koreans were to say no, we re not giving up our nuclear weapons is, there any willing room for a deal or is it just over? it s black and white? i think it s return to phase 2. maximum pressure. he talked about 300 types of sanctions and different products. has he also talked about returning to aggressive military exercises and possibility even of a military strike. i think you know and one of president trump s books 18 years ago uncandidly predicted if i were a president negotiating with north korea and they wouldn t agree, he says in this book in the year 2,000, he says i would walk out and then have a military strike on a single target and then resume the talks.
have to use it. if you want to convince things are different with china and trump, we have to have his back. that was lindsey graham saying military force against north korea shouldn t be off the table. joining us is congressman francis rooney. i want to start with senator graham was talking about there which is the potential for an authorization of use of military force against north korea. is that something that you feel like maybe necessary in the near future, or does it seema los angeles ramsist? seem alarmist? we have the president negotiating with north korea right now in singapore in historic point. why be talking about military force? let s see where things go. and what s your assessment of how the president has handled this so far?
