and ronald reagan spending a lot more than he should have spent. we had bill clinton enjoying the peace dividend after the reagan and bush years and then we had president obama, letting down a little bit after george bush built up. so now we have the buildup again, no? yes, but we ve never had a president that i m aware of since world war ii who has who saw the world so differently. most of our presidents, democrat and republicans, have always seen america on the world stage promoting global security and stability and the pie byproduct of that prosperity. president obama didn t see that, he pulled america back from the global leadership role and as a matter of fact, he accommodated our adversaries. as a result of it, our add ver saris were em boldened and the world got more dangerous.
the fact he sat on it when it looked like hillary clinton was going to win or that s what everyone was saying. we do see so many threats, we get hacked all the time. russia hacked into what was it, hacked into china also hacked into opm, 2. million social 22 million social security numbers exposed. russia has hacked our military operations as well. these are things that we know, that these threats are constant and happening all the time. what will the president elect he won t be boxed in. i m sorry. what will his relationship with vladimir putin? it s very early, they have had a couple of conversations, at least one conversation that i m aware of. i think he thinks he s very smart, i think he s a capable leader inside of russia. and i think he wants to have a good relationship with him. if you talk to henry kissinger about it, there s enough common interests, we may bed a ver saris on certain things but enough common interests that we probably should start working closely

political add ver saris things to use against us in the next election, same on them. and the democrats were criticizing, chris van holland a top democrat in ryan s committee said in a statement it s now clear that the republican budget is not bold, but the same ideological agenda that extends tax breaks to millionaires and big oil companies and cutting our kids education and as for the ven year s budget, a compromise appears now to be in the works. i m quite optimistic, i think progress is being made and they re working off a number 33 billion dollars in cuts that s very reasonable. it s right in between what democrats have proposed and republicans are proposing. and friday s deadline on that, if congress wants to avoid a government shutdown. harris. steve, thank you very much. the obama administration set to argue the new health care
