mitch mcconnell, who had refused to provide any republican votes to lift the debt ceiling made a short-term deal. you think that s a game donald trump? you think that s a game, lindsey graham? what s wrong with you? it s a game? no, you re playing with people s lives. mitch mcconnell tonight, you need to stop being a swamp creature and if you want to be a conservative leader you need to start acting like one and if you can t do that, you really do need to step aside. howie: joining us now, michael bloomberg, fox s chief cash-mike emanuel. this began with a raw move from mitch mcconnell. he s getting it from sean hannity and liberal pundits. don t the media punish anybody who agree to the slightest compromise,. this is kind of the environment right now, you re either in one camp or the other.
that really struck me and that s all of this pile on throughout the entire process of president-elect and picking the cabinet thmembers. the media is using up all of the ammo now and we see the reports and they do not trust the media and it s a constant garage of donald trump and seem bias throughout the election process. yeah, but the focus on having dealings with russia. well, the ceo he had dealings all around the world and that s one of the reasons that president-elect donald trump is thinking of choosing him. well, alarms and exxon chief could empower putin. accord to go the services and the way that they re thinking. seems like again the political battle lines are being drawn in the media accounts. well, i think that i saw a
whether one, two, three, four generals in a cabinet inclines any administration towards being very militant, but i think it s also important to have this national dialogue, so i do think the media s contribution here is to encourage people to think about that military/civilian concept. interesting, but i think it s fair to question why a donald trump drawn to these generals as he clearly is. he certainly has more of an aversion to military intervention around the globe. but this whole threaten it s threatens civilian control of the military is overblown to me but what s behind the drum beat. there is what of a culture crash built into the situation but in it was of the generals here, having worked with generals, among generals, with former generals who are in policy positions over the last ten years, there s some really
going to do about it. let me close out by talking about celebrity apprentice . man, the media went crazy about it. yeah, they wondered if it s going to influence the coverage of him in some way. with what we re seeing is that it s a royalty for donald trump in some way. a lot of this is that the media was not understanding what the title means. that s not an editing suite and it s collecting royalties. trump tweeted that he is going to be spend zero time on this. he owns a part of the franchise and tweeted this. reports that i m working on the apprentice part time is untrue. fake news is the title of that.
1ke. as the covers of the trump transition turn critical, i sat down with one of his advisers and author of the new novel treegs about the plot. welcome. good to be with you. they seem stunned that he is tweeting about the boeing contract and jobs going to mexico and cyber bullying for tweeting of a local steelworker union o official that took him over the carrier deal. don t the media have a point that they re picking too many fights publicly? well, i think so but it seems to work for him. he is such a unique character that it s a little hard to second guess him because it just continuing to evolve in ways that you cannot quit imagine. i hear you saying that i would not do it but. i would probably not do it because i m more timid than him.
