Bring section 8 usc 1324 charges or any criminal charges against state or local officials. I believe the request for made. The department of justifiable is reviewing what avenues might be available. Martha the answer to that is yes they are looking into it. Good evening, everybody. Im Martha Maccallum and this is the story. Also tonight some reporters at the white house incredulous as the white house doctor declared that the president is in excellent mental and physical health. Watch this. Can you tell me how a guy holler all those diet cokes and never exercises is in as good a shape as you say he is in. Its called genetics. I dont know. Martha Everyone Wants to get on that plan. He rarely sees the president when he terms as stressed out conditions. He has the ability to wake up every day and sort of reset when he is faced with the pressures of the office. More to come on that fascinating afternoon News Conference today. The president no doubts is going to need all of his faculties as the pressure is now mounting this week to shut down the government. Something democrats used to think was a pretty awful idea. I call them legislative arsonists. They are there to burn down what we should be building up. Its really a tantrum. Its a tea party tantrum. You either give me my way or were going to shut down government. Martha now they are reportedly considering that possibility. Just moments ago the white house responded to democrats saying we dare you. Go ahead and try it chief National Correspondent ed henry at the white house with this huge back story tonight. Good evening, ed. Ed martha, great to see you a senior official told me few minutes ago theyre all but daring democrats to shut down the democrats over daca as i get explosive new details about Last Thursdays meeting here on immigration that suggests the white house is planning to take a very hard line in these negotiations. Lets first talk about that hearing today you mentioned that was supposed to be contentious because it was
going to be all about the president s plan to build a wall. Instead got fiery about what he said or didnt say behind closed doors. Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen held firm in saying Last Thursday she did not hear the president utter the word shole leading corey book tore charge what he called here silence and am near shah made her complicit in the president s comments. Nielsen trying to pivot and change the narrative and maybe send a signal to the president s political base. Saying that he is taking action to crack down on illegal immigration. The secretary announcing, as you noted, the administration is talking to federal prosecutors now about criminal charges against officials in Sanctuary Cities all around the country if they refuse to follow through on federal orders to deport criminals. Also new today, the Department Of Justice revealed its going to try and go directly to Supreme Court to fast track its appeal of a federal judges ruling in San Francisco that new Daca Applications can start. Meanwhile republican Lindsey Graham today charged all
that dramatic turn from one week ago today when the president gathered leaders from both parties from the cabinet room and said he wanted a deal where he took care of the daca kids, quote, with love while also tightening Border Security. Graham charged that Last Thursday morning around 10 00 a. M. He and democrat dick durbin called over the president to remand on a bipartisan deal they h by the time they made it to the oval Office Around noon Last Thursday, someone on the white house staff like Senior Advisor steven miller, a hardliner on immigration, had convinced the president to turn against the deal. Heres graham. Something happened between 10 00 and 12 00. I like secretary nielsen, she is a nice person. We will get to the bottom of this. Here is what is going to matter. How does it end . How does it end . Does it end with a government shutting down . We cannot do this with people in charge at the white house who have irrational view on how to fix immigration. Senior Administration Official just fired back to me moments ago that is not how this played out. This official said graham and durbin begged for Oval Office Meeting to present their own deal that went around framework that House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy was already working on. This official declaring of graham he tried to sabotage the framework. Nobody knew what was in the plan graham planned. President was frustrated and hit him with questions and lindsey had no explicative answers. And the president shut him down. They are not going to support a budget deal unless there is a clean daca bill in there. This senior official said we can call that bluff all day long. They are basically digging in here saying they will give a little bit on daca, but they have to have the wall. They have to have an end to Chain Migration and also an end to that visa lottery program. So they are digging in here tonight at the house, we will see how that plays out, martha. Martha breaking news, ed, thank you very much. Here now with moammar continue omalley former Maryland Governor and 2016 democratic president ial candidate joins us tonight. Good to see you tonight, welcome. Thanks, martha. Thanks for having me. Martha why cant they find Agreement Ground here. Well, i hope they will. I think, you know, i dont often say this but i agree with Lindsey Graham i think that probably the most unreasonable people in the white house pulled President Trump back from what members of congress seemed to think is a reasonable way to move forward, to grant, you know, to give citizenship to the daca kids and also to give the president what he is asking for for a wall between us and mexico. I dont think thats a particularly good use of money but thats what the president wants and thats what compromise is about. So i hope they do reach a deal. Martha a clean funding bill on friday with daca included. But the president has said from the beginning and the president has been very outspoken on how he feels about the daca program. He has said since he was elected he said things a little bit stronger than this during the election. We want to love. We want to keep the kids who are good and who are prospering here in the United States. We want to keep them here. We want a tradeoff. We want Border Security which democrats have said for a very long time they were in favor of stiffening the security at the southern border. Now they say they are not willing to do that part. Well well, some of them are and we also know that senator durbin and republican senator graham apparently had what they thought was a deal that would allow the president to get part of what he wanted and also give, you know, give protections to the daca kids. So, hopefully they will find a way to work this out. Martha im sorry to interrupt. You watch Homeland Security head testifying today. She got hit about some questions about the phrase the president used in there. That it makes you wonder whether or not priority is really helping these deferred action children, many of whom are now adults and downadults. Is that really the priority for democrats . Do they want to get a daca deal at the end of this . Well, i think they
absolutely do. Martha do they want to work with the president on that. I think democrats will work will work with the president and will work with one another and will work across partisan lines to get this done. Unfortunately i was a mayor and i was a governor. What you have to understand is Leadership Matters and the words that leaders use also matter. When do you a Blanket Statement that a whole group of people from a continent or people have shole countries, that tends to erode the trust necessary for compromise. Martha but do you agree with me that statement, can you think its egregious and can you think its awful, horrible, everybody has their opinion on it but shouldnt derail the process. Should it be an excuse to hang everything up . No, i dont think it should be. Look, i have come to expect very, very little from President Trump by way of manners, by way of kuth, by way of treating people with dignity and respect. Thats a given. Hes not going to change he is in Perfect Health supposedly which means is he only going to get worse. Thats what we are dealing with right now. And we need to notwithstanding how abusive the president can be and how coarse and what a bad example he is for our kids. We need to serve the national interests. Martha heres the problem. I understand that your sensibilities are offended by things the president says. Of course, thats up to you. Thats a personal decision. If you are the parents of kate steinle and you are listening to democrats say that having supported Border Security all these years and a stronger fence and a stronger border that now you are not willing to do that and you would like to see republicans have to shut down the government over that issue. Can you imagine how they feel, how their sensibilities are affected by that . Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Look, i have set with families. Its not as if you have a family of all daca kids or a family, i mean, a lot of
families have children who were born in our country who are americans and they also have kids that are covered by daca. I mean, this is affecting very real people. I have spoke with a little girl, she was in 8th grade and every day she goes to school thinking when she comes home her family is going to have the doors kicked in and they are going to be gone and shell be here alone. They are real people. Martha of course they are real people. Chain migration is a big issue they would like to see. They also want to end the Visa Lottery System Recipient of which plowed down a whole group of people and killed 24e78d on the West Side Highway where i am right now. Would you encourage your fellow democrats to say you know what . Those are two areas we should negotiate with the white house and republicans on. I think both of those areas were things contemplated by the proposal that senators durbin and Lindsey Graham were on the phone with the president about look, there is always compromises. We can be true to our
principles and at the same time compromise in order to advance them. I hope thats what we are able to do. And, you know, if you want to talk about Sanctuary Cities, i saw some of the piece rolling into this. Martha yeah. Can you cite the example of that particular person but the truth of the matter is its not new american immigrants who are driving Violent Crime in america. Its native born americans. Martha three out of the four terrorists arrested in this country, some 500 of them are all from somewhere else. They are all foreigners that came to this country through the immigration program. Three out of four of them. I dont doubt that. But what i do take what i will contest is the notion that somehow mayors are creating sanctuaries for violent criminals. Look, mayors dont get elected to make their cities more violent. Martha they have to uphold the law, governor, do they not . Arent they subject to the law in their city . Excuse me, come again. Martha they have to
uphold the laws with regard to immigration. They are not allowed to subvert the law. Thats not their job. Martha what do you mean . Look, martha, there is a reason why every Police Commissioner, virtually every Police Commissioner of a big city in america says by Deposit Advertising local Law Enforcement and trying to turn them into the deportation dragnet, you are actually hurting the cause of Public Safety. You are eroding public trust in policing and you are not serving the. Martha the statute on the book says if you dont uphold that law and turn a blind eye to it you are indeed subject to prosecution yourself. So, thats what they are pursuing. Actually, our Attorney General told us that without warrants, that we are violating the constitution of our own state if we simply turn people over because of an email from ice. And so, look, all Public Safety depends on trust between police and the public. And trying to turn our local police into a dragnet, if thats what donald trump wants, let him go hire more people to create a big federal dragnet out there. You know what . Not even his people believe thats something thats good for our country. I hope we are able to recover our ability to talk with each other and i hope that we find protections for the daca kids. Martha it looks like they were talking to each other pretty well the other day. Walls can be dismantled but citizenship is something thats lasting and real and i have no doubt that the next generation of americans are not going to be the xenophobic, you know, immigrant. Martha governor, thank you investment. Thank you. Great being with you. Martha you too. Talk about it more. Marc thiessen enterprise scholar and Emily Success you heard ed set up and you heard the interview. Something happened, marc, between the group that was con general at the table on tuesday. It seems to me that then everybody went back to their corners and they heard, you know, they got an earful
from their bases and they said dont you give in on that and dont you give up on that. When you get back in there, you better hold your ground and you better fight this thing. So now we are in a situation where it looks like we are going to have to do another cr to get through the funding bill the end of this week and getting nowhere on immigration which looked a little bit promising on tuesday to at least those in the center. It sure did. Look, i think you hit the nail on out head when you were talking to governor omalley. The democrats dont want the deal. They dont want a solution. They want the issue. Because the president of the United States sat there with them and he said not only did he say he wanted to legalize the dreamers, the 800,000 or so of the dreamers, he wanted to go as far as comprehensive Immigration Reform that would legalize all 11 million Illegal Immigrants in this country. He said i will take the heat for both democrats and republicans if we can cut a deal. He wants a wall next change for that he wants changes in immigration. Is he willing to go and legalize all 11 million people. That is an extraordinary offer for the democrats to have. Martha extension tonight in eds piece, he said i
will take the heat. My whof life has been heat. I dont think thats. Martha you dont think thats true. I dont think thats true. I think what happened Lindsey Graham and dick durbin negotiated something. They didnt include all the people, all the voice. Goodlatte, cotton wasnt involved in it they brought this deal to the president that really wasnt a deal and wasnt what the president wanted or indicated he was willing to do. It got shot down. The reality, martha, look, george w. Bush couldnt pass comprehensive Immigration Reform. Barack obama couldnt pass comprehensive Immigration Reform. Just like only nixon can go to china, only donald trump can sign comprehensive Immigration Reform into law. Democrats have to decide do you want this issue for 2018 or help these people. The way they are handling this, leaking meetings, attacking the president. Exposing whats said in a private negotiation, if they are acting like people that dont care about Illegal Immigrants they care about the issue. Martha if you care about Illegal Immigrants and care
about the daca kids, emily there is a way forward. Go ahead. We seem to be flig a different world in interpreting the events of last week entirely differently here. What was brought to the president was a bipartisan deal. He said bring me a bipartisan deal that includes a number of pieces in it including protections for daca kids and it was. It was brought to him. And then apparently someone in the white house got to him, look, its not like Lindsey Graham the republican who went into that meeting who has been leading on these talks for at least four months if not years. Its not like he is not an ally of president. He is. He went in there and said i have a bipartisan deal on the table. Apparently the king of deals does not understand what a bipartisan deal looks like the fact that both sides gives a little. Both sides did give a little. Martha given a lot. Agreeing to protections for all the Daca Kids In Protection for Border Security, Chain Migration and visa lottery. Im sorry i have to leave it there im way over time. No it is not. Not true. Martha thank you both. Thanks. Martha another record day on wall street as the dow did hit another major milestone. Can that streak survive if we go through a government shut down at the end of this week. Charles payne here tonight. Plus as th has the me too movemt gone too far. Comedian latest star accused of misconduct after what the latest describes as a bad date. Ben shapiro here tonight live. The question is, is this really Sexual Assault . I can tell you its not a case i would bring to trial. People keep asking me if i miss the mayhem .

But if you can stick to your new years resolution, then i can stick to mine

Can this go on Charles Payne host of making money with Charles Payne on the Fox Business Network joins me now. Lets play devils advocate here. If it shut down, what generally happens to the economy . It hasnt been hurt in the past there have been 18 government shut downs in 13 years. Only one year was g. D. P. Lower. So, you know, its pretty interesting because its a heck of a game of chick ton play. Remember when it shut down under President Obama. The market held up pretty well and america learned we had hundreds of thousands of nonessential workers. Its a dangerous ga gamut on democrats to force. This i will say, martha, we have entered into a period of optimism in this country we havent seen . N. A very long time. I will give you an example. Potential Home Buyer Traffic has picked up to a level not seen since 1999. 19999 i remember, thats the ultimate pulse. There is excitement out there. Optimism. You hope washington, d. C. Doesnt snuff that out. Martha well, we know there was gloom and doom predictions from a lot of people about the tax cut. Here is some of them. This is the wrong tax cut at the wrong time directed at the wrong people. With this legislation we are ushering in a bleak future. It doesnt make things better for the average american. Martha 81 countries that have given bonuses or increased wages for their lower waged employees, primarily, right . A lot of employees 15 wage. Bonuses from 1 to 2,000. Companies funding their pensions. Today General Motors feels so confident about their economy they gave guidance for 2018 and 2019. We have a certain amount of optimism here, chrysler bringing back 2500 jobs from mexico to build heavy duty trucks in michigan. President obama laid the
foundation author this. I know the Wall Street Journal did a survey 65 economists and business leaders, we actually attribute these gains to President Trump. Economists know better and American Public may be swayed by the mainstream media. I look at the data and this optimism really took off in the last three months specifically. We really feel much more optimistic specifically in the last three months and thats all President Trump. Martha interesting. Very. Charles, thank you. Still ahead tonight, the result of President Trumps physical exam are in and the media went wild with questions for his physician. It was about an hour of questioning. Can you imagine if your doctor had to do this and stand up there. Questions on everything from dementia to dentures.

The story has long said there are two sides to many of these stories and that idea is now gaining some traction. Comedian accused anonymously in a new online article of Sexual Assault by a woman who says although she stayed at his apartment for what she calls consensual encounter she later decided it was something more sinister. Now the woman who calls herself grace that is not her real name is catching some heat. If you are not interested in having a relationship. Having a makedown session. Say good night after dinner. Not so a you are all
victims. You are all victims of Sexual Assault. This was not a rape nor was it a Sexual Assault by your description. Your sexual encounter was unpleasant. Martha very different. Trace gallagher in our west coast newsroom with the fallout tonight. Hi, trace. Hi, martha. Much of the media world agrees much of the story the woman calls herself grace with comedian aziz ansari does not rise to the Harvey Weinstein misconduct. It isnt about a powerful person trying to humiliate and subjugate someone who wants nothing more than to chase their dreams instead its about a date that went badly. One that did not live up to the expectations of the woman involved. Caitlin flanagan. Atlantic went further calling the womans story, quote, 3,000 words of revenge porn. Intended not to validate her account as it is to hurt and humiliate ansari. Critics are worried about trying to hurt ansari or guilty of bad timing. Would she have been as criticized at the height of the Me Too Movement. Three months ago when the Huffington Post seemed to cascast aspersions on all men saying this about me too quoting the social Media Campaign is, of course, intended as a wake up call for men. If every woman you know has been harassed or assaulted, then every man you know has likely made a woman feel unsafe. And it should be noted that not everyone is ansari a pass. L. A. Times contributor said i was finally able to read the account with aziz ansary. From the described events he seems to have have no understanding of whatsoever Sexual Consent nor do his defenders, it seems. The me too narrative is consistently being challenged. Actress denounced the movement because she believes people who did not deserve to be condemned are facing the same consequences
as sex offenders. And former Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice offered, this watch. Lets not turn women into snowflakes. Lets not infantilize women. Temperature of the Me Too Movement was come down a notch instead of the focus being solely at the alleged bad behavior of men. The accusations are now getting a second look. Martha . Martha trace, thank you. Ben shapiro editor and chief of the daily wire and Mollie Hemingway Senior Editor at the federalist and fox news contributor. I guess the question have we reached a Tipping Point in this discussion where due process enters the discussion and the assumption that every woman must be believed, which is what everyone was admonish to adhere to in the early stages of this molly seem to be questioned at this point. Its about time. You just mentioned the standard that all women must be believed. Other standard where the only thing you have to worry about is whether a woman feels uncomfortable. These are the judgments we were using to determine whether we should take part in the me too panic. It was a panic. And it was this attempt to like come up with some kind of sexual morality after we have thrown off all objective sexual morality and its clearly not going so well. These are not good one ways to govern our behavior even if its true that men and women should think about forming relationships before they have sex. Martha there is a novel idea. Ben, you wrote about this quite a bit and you talked talkd about her assertion that he should have picked up on her nonverbal cues. I mean, perhaps the nonverbal cue is grabbing your jacket and walking out the door which women have been doing for hundreds of years. She didnt make that choice here. Yeah there was nonverbal cues given including getting naked in his apartment and performing sex acts multiple
times on him. I f. I were ansari thats a pretty nonverbal cue you might be in to things. Its hard to believe anyone from me too expects men to be mind readers. This is the problem. One thing we should believe women about objective verifiable facts or objective views of what happened. My hand went here and then my head went here that kind of stuff. When you are talking about we have to believe all womens subjective perceptions events that are often very messied very confusing and very chaotic in which the feelings conflict in one person. Forget about both people. This woman was enthusiastic by the end of the date and next morning talking about how terrible it was. Is it the job to men to decide when women are uncapable of. Women are supposed to be mistresses of own consent. Men not possible to think its impossible to consent. I dont think sex is in your best interest and i dont think. That would be man splaining. Men are caught between rock and hard place if we say no and the woman actually is giving nonverbal cues that say yes then we are man splains. Giving nonverbal cues say yes she thinks says no then we are guilty of Sexual Assault or sexual abuse . Harr march i hear you. I dont want to let you go without flailing this thought. This is totally different story. This is about the u. S. Olympic team and other women trained by a trainer he has been convicted on seven counts of Sexual Assault. Now the victims are telling their side of the story. Watch this. Nightmare with us coming into my view to g room to go aw. I want to go into public without seeing someone who looks like you and be so afraid that i have to leave. I remember laying there frozen stiff on the table utterly mortified. Confused and scared. Little girls dont stay little forever. They grow into strong women that return to destroy your world. Martha a number of very
well known gymnasts and all of these young women you see here abused by the bern who was supposed to be their trainer, the person who was looking out for them. He gave them what he called out special treatment and this were terrified as can you tell. Michael, the famous u. S. Team gymnast settled with the u. S. Gymnastics association and as part of that settlement, she is not allowed to speak out at this or she will be fined 100,000 doing so. Ben, your thoughts and then we go to molly. I will put up some money right now who should start a fund speak out however wants she wants on this particular topic. If me too is to stand for anything its to stand for the idea that the entire culture, men, women, Everybody Look at instances of actual Sexual Assault and not only condemn them but want to make women free to talk about them more openly. This man is beneath Cob Tempt Ancontempt and disgusting what he put these young women through. Its appalling there werent more people aware of what was going on until this year. Having said that one of the few things that victims can get sometimes are settlements where they get some financial compensation for the horrors that they have gone through. And its very noble to question Nondisclosure Agreements for how they silence victims but also we have to be careful that we dont cake away one of the few things that sometimes victims can get out of a very horrible situation. And if you attack Nondisclosure Disagreements it can actually make it hard for women to get justice in the future, too. Its a difficult situation. Martha victim of child abuse should be able to speak their mind. Teagan and ben shapiro offered to pay that 100,000 fine show she can speak out. Great to see both of you tonight. Thanks so much.

whispering with the capital one venture card, youll earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. Not just airline purchases. yelling holy moly, thats a lot of miles shhhhh whats in your wallet . Man shhhh martha fox news has learned of a secret meeting between National Security advisor h. R. Mcmaster and counterparts from south korea and japan to discuss the north korea threat. This as the Wall Street Journal reports that the pentagon is planning to develop two new sea based Nuclear Weapons for our arsenal that would respond to russia and china primarily growing military capabilities. General jack keane is chairman for the institute of study of war and fox news strategic analyst. Good sty tonight. Good to see you. Martha two new weapons potentially. What would they do and why are they controversial . Well, they are both sea based. One is a lower version of
the trident missile we have on nuclear subs right now that would offer us the opportunity to use that as weapon and deterrence. I will explain. Why the other one is also something we had in our kit bag once before and got rid of it a number of years ago sea based Cruise Missile that has a nuclear tip on it what is happening is our adversaries are going back and buying these tactical lower yield Nuclear Weapons and adding them to their arsenal. They will end the conflict to their favor. Conventional conflicted that may not be going well and then they would use that and terminate the war. And they also believe that given we dont have that capability the alternative for success to use a major strategic bomb, which would be disproportionate in terms of what the casualty outcome would be. And they think they can hold us in check. So thats why we are developing the capability. Martha very interesting. It used to be that you had mutually assured destruction and the weapons were so big and so powerful that the idea was that neither side would use them because they would be so devastating. So now you are talking about another layer of competition where you have to have these lower yield, as you point out, weapons that would be used in a smaller conflict to end it as you say so that neither side will use them . Yes. Now, during the cold war, we had tactical Nuclear Weapons that actually fired as part of artillery. And persianings as an example. The reality is we got rid of all of that we had those weapons and our adversaries had those weapons. What we believe is in our adversaries have low to high Nuclear Weapons we should are it as well because it is deterrent. For 40 plus years that deter reasons worked. Our critics believe if they
have lower and we have we are less likely to use them. The evidence does not support that 45 years of cold war and no nuclear change whatsoever. The other thing we have to remember is those Nuclear Weapons that we had all during the cold war didnt just prevent nuclear war it prevented the most likely outcome which was a war in europe between russians and nato or the soviet union and nato that prevented a conventional war. Martha no doubt that russia and china are building up and we are in different environment. We used to Van Advantage for decades now and that is rapidly closing on us. That is why this Defense Budget and rebuilding the military is so critical. Martha general keene, thank you. Always good talking to you. President trumps doctor field admire adof discussions about everything about his physical condition for over an hour. Will it silence questions from some who accuse him of
being unstable . White House Strategic advisor Mercedes Schlapp joins me next. There have been reports that the president has forgotten names that he is repeating himself. Are you ruling out things like early onset alzheimers . Are you looking at dementialike symptoms . Le, i loe most people. But on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Im glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. For some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain,
swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those whove had a drug or Alcohol Problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can do more with my family. Talk to your doctor today. See if lyrica can help. Can you assess the president s Mental Fitness for office . I had absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability. Can you explain how a guy who eats mcdonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken and all those diet cokes and never exercises is as in good as shape as you say he is in. Its called genetics, i dont know. Is there anything you are keeping from us because of privacy reasons. There is nothing i am keeping from you. He sleeps four to five hours a night. He ha has probably been that way his whole life. Probably one of the reasons he is successful. He is one of those people that doesnt require a lot a of sleep. If he had a health Ye Healthiert he might live to be 200 years old. He was the physician poor President Obama and president bush before that President Trump was blessed with great queens you heard him Excellent Health mentally and physically. Assessment dramatically different from author Michael Wolff who questioned President Trumps Mental Fitness. The people closest to the president , to donald trump believe that there is something wrong here. I will quote steve bannon hes lost it. Martha welcome member slides schlapp on the story tonight. Great to be here. March martha was interesting this afternoon. It went on for about an hour. The doctor claimed that the president wanted to have the cognitive part of the test. Can you explain what the strategy was behind this whole appearance was this afternoon . Look, i think for President Trump, this was a matter of transparency. This was allowing his physician to come out and talk about the fact that he is fit for duty. And, quite frankly, martha, i have an opportunity to engage with the president. I see him in action every day where is he talking to his policy advisors. Asking the tough questions. Very engaged as to what is happening day in and day
out. And directing the staff of what needs to be done from a policy perspective. What we have seen is that democrats have decided to play this game, this narrative talking about Mental Fitness instead of actually doing the work of the people and governing. Thats where President Trump trumply stands strong as our leader and focusing on what we need to be doing that of pushing forward economic success we have seen this past year with the passage of the tax cut law benefiting millions of American Families and really honing in on his agenda which, as we know, President Trump is producing results. Martha i thought it was very interesting window into some ways the personality of the president and what makes him tick. When the doctor said he was asked about how he deals with stress. He doesnt really steam stressed out to me very often. My office is right across from his. I thought it was hysterical he doesnt even stop in for a band aid. He likes to selfmonitor his
health. He says when he is dealing with pressures of the office, he is pretty good at waking up in the morning and resetting, which i found very interesting. Do you have any thoughts on that theory. You have to understand President Trump has been a success his whole life. You know, going back to being a successful businessman, to being successful on television as a really pioneering reality tv and then winning the presidency the first time and really taking on a role which is the toughest job in america. And this president has embraced it. He understands the challenges that come with it and one thing that he has done here in washington is that he has reset the way politics run here. He expects results from congress. He expects results from his cabinet members. And thats why he is such a successful president. And thats why he actually is that political genius that we have a chance to see day in and day out. Martha so today he hosted and yall hosted the white house womens panel. I want to play a little bit of that from his advisor daughter ivanka trump and also Small Business administrator linda mcmahon. Lets watch. Women, especially minority women, are the Fastest Growing category of maul business owners. Sba led women owned businesses 120 million more last year compared to the year prior. Women are the primary Bread Winners in more than 40 of house holds holds. And the Tax Reform Signed Into Law By President Trump last month will help put more money into those paychecks. Martha why the focus on this today with the fax reform bill, very interesting the numbers that they put out there, the increase in growth in Small Businesses that are run by women, mercedes . This is such an Important Message that we want to amplify and share with american women throughout this country. In so many of us who are out there working day in and day out are hardworking women who basically are the ones that balance the checkbooks,
that are the ones focused on their kids education, that are the ones really being the heart and soul you have their families. I think it was an Important Message to send because of the fact for President Trump, not only does he have these incredible women in power in his cabinet, as well as ivanka and his wife melania who plays such an important role, but to share the economic Success Story of President Trump and what his team is working on. Martha thank you, mercedes. I have got to leave it there. Great to see you. Quote of night when we come back. My doctor recommended i switch to miralax. On, get more out of your water. Stimulant laxatives make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. Miralax is different. It works with the water in your body to hydrate and soften. Unblocking your system naturally. Miralax. You might be missing to ssomething. Y. Your eyes. Thats why theres ocuvite. Ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. It has lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega3. Ocuvite. Be good to your eyes. When i was too busy with the kids to get a repair estimate. Liberty did what .
