Military. Now we know. He is outnumbered. Good to have you. Pete its great to be here. There are a big part of the spending bill. Lets get to the news. Going concerns of a potential government shut down at midnigh midnight. As President Trump threatens to veto the funding bill, congress dispatched overnight. The president tweeted this earlier today. Im considering a veto of the omnibus spending bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus Daca Recipients have been totally abandoned by the democrats, not even mentioned in the bill and the border wall which is desperately needed for National Defense is not fully funded. Now the blame game is on. Currency chairwoman backing President Trumps on daca while going after democrats for their inaction. He has put together a completely reasonable deal, gone further than barack obama did, and he has said lets take care of the Daca Recipients, lets make sure we put in place a wall and better Border Security so we dont find ourselves in the same position years down the road. It democrats dont want to deal with the president on this because they want to use it as a wedge issue going into the 2018 midterm. They are abandoning the Daca Recipients of the president is absolutely right to point this out because it is an absolute lie on behalf of democrat leadership that they care more about the Daca Recipients more than they care about this next election. Harris if they dont know that to him, they a different one. Here is the issue that democrats abandoned Daca Recipients. Its like an art of the deal record. As my reaction. First, it would be foolish when we have done this omnibus that is very, very good for important priorities. It is very good for defense. The reason that he asserts is ridiculous. He says im not happy theres not a dreamer solution and ample border funding. We gave him a deal a month ago cleaning up the problem he created when he said he would terminate the program. Harris is this embarrassing for democrats . Juma shut down over daca. Now the president stands up for the Daca Recipients. Pete he does. If they have used as a political on from the very beginning. I think the president is genuine and that is just as he is genuine on the border wall and wanting that. I think from his perspective, he submitted a budget that he wanted to make america save again. He invested in the military that the Obama Administration was terrible for. He also helped ice, the School Database for guns, youve got the opioid, communities have been ravaged by that. This is in many ways a swamp budget. This is a Mitch Mcconnell doozy. If democrats love it, you might love it, i dont know but if tim kaine thinks its a great budget and nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer are heralding it as a win, then the g. O. P. Is no longer the party of fiscal responsibility. There was no fiscal restraint in here at all. They traded all fiscal restraint for the Defense Department and thank god they did but democrats are going to go back to the decision and say we got everything we wanted and we voted for the fund for defense. Theres no way democrats wanted to fund the Defense Department the way republicans and president jumped in. Theres no way. Harris i know he called you by name but i want to get this. Democrats are celebrating the white house legislative team made sure that christmas came early for liberals by capitulating to pelosi. From planned parenthood to barely funding any border protection, the white house got played in the president has every right to be furious and demand better. Time for a veto. Jessica i think that is spot on. We topped before the show about this, democrats didnt get a lot of the things they wanted and i believe we would like Strong Defense as well but certainly planned parenthood continue to be funded. All of the spending programs did, no cuts although we could talk about how planned parenthood gets funded. As far as what the president did this morning, it was smart and savvy to have done it. I think the real issue for him as a border wall more than it is the Daca Recipients but certainly is democrat is made as much a part of their case that they would do anything to protect dreamers, it was smart of him to shoehorn it in there because it does make democrats look like theyve given up on their priority. Harris whenever i hear the word swamp, i think of your rebuttal. Which i often quote. Space you i said there are swamp creatures and the Republican Party and the president and the white house, they just brought algae with them. Theres no cleaning up the swamp, there arent even decent airboats to get around washington. But i love that the president will throw members of his own party under the bus because what happened this morning was congressman ron desantis from florida was on Maria Bartiromos show and i was sitting across from him and he said i dare the president to veto this. A short while later, the president tweets about it. If we are really concerned about military and one thing the republicans didnt do either is put any restrictions financially on sanctuary cities. Which again, congress has the power, cracking down on governors and mayors, they didnt do it. Really concerned about the military, need to rein in spending in and that means not 4 billion for it would be a treatment. That means not 21 billion for infrastructure. Less than a decade from now, the interest that we pay on the current debt, the interest we pay will top her annual defense spending and we can have that happen. Melissa look at the way he set up the argument. You heard jessica concede earlier that democrats got everything they wanted and daca is not in it. So the truth is on that situation, they were never actually fighting for daca. I dont think they care about dreamers. I think the president has offered at time and again. He has offered to basically grant amnesty to three times as many dreamers has president obama ever thought to shield from deportation and they basically didnt take them up on the offer. He wouldnt give us because they got everything. Jessica or z 23 billion price tag. Harris its very fair to ask why the language about the Daca Recipients was not something that democrats were willing to take something off the table for a period planned parenthood or something off the table four. But they didnt. Jessica i dont think it is. Its more embarrassing for the Freedom Caucus and they been all over talking about how this for republicans who have promised to be fiscal. The Republican Party, they are not the party of fiscal responsibility. I wasnt done saying how many people as embarrassing for it. I just led with the Freedom Caucus. Pete Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan and leadership are cutting these deals with democrats in order to get them past. The reality with democrats as they love the wall more than they love they hit the wall more than they love dreamers. Thats what it comes down to. They hate what trump is trying to do more than they love fighting that pathway and President Trump is calling their bluff on that. Melissa they got everything they wanted and the next question is what about dreamers . Harris since we have a former military member on the couch with us and only learned a short time ago that defense secretary mattis was calling the president about the possibility of losing all the defense increases if he blows up the on omnibus with a veto. A source told fox news that going to flatline defense if hes not careful. Your thoughts . Pete if youre the pentagon and you starved for eight years under barack obama and you sell your military be decimated and that you have a chance to return back to a place where its officially funded, you dont want to lose that grass. I think this president if he can get a better deal that still funds the dod and it might take veto threats or shutdown to do so. Harris can i talk to you about the dow for a second . If you thought anybody wasnt watching this or facebook for cooper or some of the things that have hit the dow this week, youd be really mistaken by tha. Investors are looking at this and look at where it is today, its come back somebody really shed some percentage yesterday. Dagen i will point this out. Futures were all over the place before the market opened at 9 30 this morning but when this trump tweet about a possible veto of the spending bill came out, the futures were down roughly as much as the dow is right now. There was no market impact. The government shut down, you know what investors do . Maybe thats a good thing. Its not horrible. Ill point this out. Democrats and republicans both like doing one thing and this is what is not, just swampy. They both love to do that. They love spending other peoples money and there is no financial restraint whatsoever, and right now about twothirds of our annual budget in this country goes to personal outlays, medicare, medicaid, Social Security, and food stamps. Thats where all the money is going until any of these men and women stand up and Start Talking about this. Harris why are they talking about it . Dagen because it loses them votes. And god blessed them, all of them. Harris and jessica is silent, so this is a bipartisan thing for you. Jessica cutting entitlements, absolutely. Trump was the only republican candidate out there talking about preserving them because he was smart enough to know you cant win an election if you take away an entitlement. Supply ryan gets up there and says im going to cut hes never going to cut. Dagen they automatically start disappearing because medicare is going broke in 11 years, 0. 88 on the dollar is what the Hospital Fund will be able to pay out in about a decade. Harris i could tell you who is disappearing. The house is adjourned. Congress is scattering. You have the slaughter funeral that many are getting to today. But if the president vetoes this, the government shuts down and they come back at 4 00 p. M. On monday and they could pick it up then. Well see with the president does.

A new reaction to changes on the white house National Security cam. President trump announcing former u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations john bolton will replace h. R. Mcmaster as National Security advisor darting april 9th. Bolton will be the president s third National Security advisor and a bit more than a year. Critics raising concerns over boltons reputation as a National Security hawk, ed markey tweeting that boltons selection sends a clear message. The president is gearing up for military conflict. Here he is elaborating on that point. He is absolutely right now indulging his worst instincts both here domestically and in his foreign policy. He is going to a much more radical approach. Dagen counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway heading back at critics praising john bolton saying the president is entitled to assemble his team as he sees fit. Speak of his agenda if people supported, they should be here. If you are not with the program, you should get with the program or get out. That doesnt mean a buying loyalty. This is a man who takes into consideration everybodys different inputs and ideas and that makes him a wonderful leader and a terrific boss. This country should be pleased when people who dont need another chapter in their illustrious careers want to come in and serve the nation. Dagen john bolton lines up and weve all been on air with him. We know him well. John bolton lines up with President Trump on two critical issues, getting tough with north korea ahead of the kim jong un meeting and iran, that that nuclear deal was a lousy one. Figure out what to say thank you to ed markey for what hes saying because of our enemies are listening, they now know that they are on notice. If you want peace, youre willing to wage war. This is a cabinet in the white house right now that our enemies will take seriously and when you walk into that room in north korea and kim jong un thinks he will take a preemptive strike, maybe he really does give up his nukes and when ron realizes, they dont get rid of that capability, youve got a new set of deals on the iran term as well. Fantastic pick of ambassador bolton because her friends love him like israel and our military and our enemies are scared. Melissa i think its also ironic that you hear this president is surrounding himself with yesmen. We know ambassador bold and very well. He is not a yesman. Ive known larry kudlow forever, also not a yesman. He is going to be very outspoken on his views even if the president disagrees with him. Ambassador bold income is the same thing. The difference is you have to know these people to understand it. There are people who are very strong and very decisive and it seems like he is sick of people who are timid and dont stand up for what they believe or wishywashy or politics. Instead, he wants people who dont take any nonsense. Jessica i dont think general mcmaster was wishywashy or politics. He was balanced about the iran deal and understanding that we need a diplomatic solution so that we dont end up in war. Pete thats a solution. It isnt a deal if they dont get nukes. Jessica President Trump and rand paul were the only two president ial candidates who came out and said that the iraq war was the biggest mistake and we shouldve never been there. He now has ambassador bolton who we know is in the administration talking about the fact that they had wmds. He still doesnt think it was a mistake. He campaigned as a president who did not want to get us into more war. Melissa he campaigned at a president who is decisive about the fact that if youre going to shut down, if youre going to call him north korea to heal, and they will respond. It is not about using it, its about diplomacy that weve been taken advantage of it every of the world. It is not a deal, its abuse. Theyre not following it. You prevent more by being strong. Dagen i want to bring up the point that ambassador bolton does seem to differ with President Trump on russia thats been a talking point for the Democratic National convention for people on the left is russia and if the president is too easy on Vladimir Putin and on the former soviet union, ambassador bolton has a deep mistrust for russia and thinks the poisoning of that exspy up is it full point for. Harris ambassador bolton is very consistent in his hawkish ways. He definitely sees america first. While there may be categories of things. They dont agree upon what they have been meeting for weeks. We know that from our own reporting. I will say this among the people that we are saying come on board now from the president s legal team and the hires they are the people hes putting in place and when he calls a cabin and other things that he wants to pull together, they are consistently good talkers and people who can take an agenda out and sell it. Then talk about whats going on. What we have is an inconsistency in message and it has hurt this white house to have to not know where Rex Tillerson was coming from. Sarah sanders coming on later in the day and for them to be on different points until they can get on the same point. So thats extra work for the white house. They may not all agree but ambassador bolton is a guy who will at the message right and will take the pressure off the white house always having to put that out there. Its an observation, but its one that i think we can agree on that message has been a challenge. Dagen i found it laughable and offensive that people would treat ambassador bolton and kept talking about him as a talking head and then hes another member of a r
