Trish a republican study commute he chairman says it might be time for Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to retire. Congressman mark walker saying he thinks hes a huge part of the problem. There is a growing consensus that would be happy if the senator called it a career. Joining me right now, trent franks, a member of the Armed Services and judiciary committee. Let me ask you about the tom price issue. What is your reaction to his retirement . Thanks for having me on. Im very biased when it comes to tom price. I think hes a great, noble human being. Hes a precious friend and i think the country has lost a fine leader. I dont know the details that precipitated to everything. But its a loss to america. Trish one of the reasons why americans sent donald trump into the white house is they were tired of this. We all work hard for our money. And the idea that anybody in government would waste our money needlessly by taking a private plane. I hear you its been done before by other administrations, but isnt this administration suppose to be different . Its a different day and able with a different president in the oval office. I cant argue with a thing you said. I started out saying im biased in toms fave because i know him to be such a great human being. I would be completely open to any explanation he might have. Trish he did get in some hot water for Insider Trading allegations. That surfaced back in january when many were concerned, including myself that his broker traded some stocks despite the fact he was about to introduce legislation. He introduced legislation and his broker was trading stocks. Well leave that aside for a moment. I want to get reaction to this new policy. The omd saying from now on if you want to take a private jet, you will have to get john kelly to sign off on it. Im all for that. I certainly avoid those issues in my own life. I think the American People want their leaders to try to take a clear look at what is facing a country and to try to act in a countrys own best interests, no matter what. I have no issue with the omd order at all. I dont any anybody would. We need to Start Holding government accountableor every me that they spend. It ct continue in the w its going. But with all tha in md and the fac we areacing a 20 trillion debt load. We are looking to cut taxes and i for one am all for that. I think you need to do something to stimulate this economy and incentivize businesses to be here. This is all in the plus column. Do you think Mitch Mcconnell will be able to pull it off . He couldnt do healthcare repeal. Can he do taxes . There is a clear explanation why we are not getting anything through the senate and mr. Mcconnell knows that. We have over 20 trillion in debt. And its because the filibuster in the senate slow marches us into bankruptcy when republicans are in control the filibuster stops us from dealing with the spend and the appropriations process. And when the democrats are in control they spend to eternity. Senator mcconnell has to deal with the filibuster. He either has to deal with the filibuster or explain to the American People what his plan is to save the country. Trish is he going to make it . The Senate Filibuster will not last. The democrats say they intend to change the. And if senator mcconnell doesnt do something to make sure the American People get a glimpse of republican policy first, senator walker has a point. Trish he can call it a career. Be sure to vote in tonights poll. Is repealing and replacing Mitch Mcconnell the last chance to pass obamacare. The dow gaining 4 points. The nasdaq up 43 point.

Insurance company that was half the size it was no longer pose an economic threat. Up next, the nfl disrespect of our flag and our values. Its costing them. Fox news Gregg Jarrett says the First Amendment does not protect First Amendment does not protect nfl players from being can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can well im gone trish the packers and the bears stood for the National Anthem and the ratings took a dive. Down 13 . The fans were heard chanting usa before the anthem played. Gregg, whats most of interesting here is players, coaches, team owners, and networks are starting to notice. Gregg the today cove criticismn deafening. These players and the teams have heard loud and clear from americans who are angry at flairs for kneeling and disrespecting the flag. I think most of of these players dont understand what the nation all about. Its not about racism in baltimore or st. Louis. Its something large and more meaningful than that. When we put our hands over our hearts we are expression our gratitude for the generations who fought or our freedom including the freedom of these guise to make millions of dollars for playing a game. The steelers who stayed back in the locker room for the tunnel announced well come out on the field and well stand for the flag and the National Anthem. Yes people were locking arms, and thats okay, too. But disrespecting the flag in a visual and active way offended americans who were angry and disgusted. Trish i dont know how anybody im a former singer. I have done my share of the National Anthem. When i sing sit i feel a sense of pride. When i hear it i feel a sense of pride. I dont know how anybody hears that song and dont feel, we are so darn lucky. We are in the land of opportunity. But that aside, its your right as an american to have free speech. But when you are work for somebody on the football field its a little different. That is a form entertainment and its starting to catch up for what it means for the industry in . The way of lower ratings. Gregg the players run the teams, and not the owners anymore. They are so powerful by virtue of the ratings they can garner and the revenues received before it teams. The team owners are powerless and beholding to the players. Trish im not a huge football fan, but i dont know a ton about football. I said to my husband the other day. What if they got rid of them all. Why not go to colleges and universities and finds the next group of Football Players to which i was told thats easier said than done its a battle between the players themselves and the nf stlrks, the industry. Gregg they are all coming together. And i think they rick fires in they dont necessarily have a First Amendment right to do whatever they want. The First Amendment talks about government fun it force with your free speech right. It does not apply to private businesses and the u. S. Supreme court repeatedly said so. This is a business its private. You can be fired for your conduct. In fact every Single Player signs the standard nfl contract it has a clause that says any conduct that is detrimental to the nfl and the team is grounds for immediate termination. Those players signed that contract. Trish this is certainly detrimental. But Roger Goodell who runs the nfl has not really been is outspoken on this. You think about the concussions and the abuse of women. You think about some of the criminal trouble many of these players have been in and roger gold hasnt been anywhere to be found. Gregg roger gold is the most of feckless commissioner of the nfl. He has a history of getting every decision wrong while lining his own pocket with tens of millions of dollars. Do not expect leadership from this man. I have hate to say it, but its true. Trish we are coming right back with a whole lot more. The state department pulling Embassy Staff from cuba in response to mysterious attacks. They did some bad things in cuba. Trish well discuss the diplomatic dispute with Lieutenant Colonel tony shaffer. This group of daredevils is this group of daredevils is throwing a party sfx loud poorly played electric guitar that sounds awful but a lot better than last week rock guitar music we werent born to follow trish the state department ordering home 60 of its diplomatic staff in cuba following a series of mysterious attacks on embassy employees. Rex tillerson warned against visiting cuba until they finds out what is behind the series of attack. Joining us to discuss, retired Lieutenant Colonel tony shaffer. Now a senior fellow for policy research. The cuba story just keeps getting weird and weird. Any idea what happened . Who may have been responsible . The bottom line is we dont know. But either by commission or collusion, the cubans are responsible. There is they are still a communist country and they are responsible for the security of that embassy. I dont care if its a third country. They are supposed to be patrolling those areas around the embassies. I would not be surprised if this was duplicity on the cubans part. Trish what a stupid thing to do. They had the opportunity of a lifetime to grow their economy with u. S. Tourism and they shoot themselves in the foot so quickly . Thats part of the issue. They have before been that bright related to longterm objectives. The russians actually did things like the Russian Embassy in moscow. Trish lept not forget who trained the cubans. We were trying to do the right thing and open up relationships. There are hardliners still in the cuban government and we were fools to not ask for concessions relating to human rights and assurances, that this sort of thing would not happen. Trish you got the baseball game. Meet the famous catcher down there. Let me turn to north korea. There are still questions about what are we going to do here. I said over and over again, go after china. China has the culpability. What do we need to do . They are in violation of major, Major World Tra
