were friends that hang around military installations. they get $25 million to learn math and science. i am sure they would much rather have iphone's. 2.6 million going to some romantic notion. even the inspector general said the money should be put elsewhere. and if only they were honest. okay, it's more fun than singing tv songs around the campfire, poking fun at earmarks doesn't get close to fixing washington structural spending addiction. one beast is redundant with programs we don't need, that cost $45 billion every year when these programs do the exact same thing and that is according to the gao. and health care, social

security, interest on the debt, that is going to account for about 85% of the budget and i would be remiss if i didn't mention obamacare, that is went at 1.8 trillion over the next 10 years. enough to make me sick. and hi, it's great to see me. kim jong-un has added another notch to his belt for those insane executions. michael is here to talk about it and ross mathews is here in the studio. buzzing already, maybe you remember him where you have seen him on the rupaul drag race. there is a new book about ronald reagan and why not reign we cannot bring back the best president of my lifetime and so i will take all of the juicy details that i can debt ♪ ♪

>> on kennedy and welcome. my producers told me that i could not play this mean from deliverance. so you're going to have to use your imagination and i know you do. but what about government spending and waste? making you squeal like a pig. currently as a producer and joe devito is also here. and patti ann browne, a fox news anchor is with us. so good to have you back. >> it's great to be here. >> whenever she is here we thing karaoke. >> we all sing show tunes of government expenditures. so you have this report, what struck you as the most egregious? >> there was so much, but i think the aquatic plant control program. just give me half of that and i

will dive into the depths of the ocean. the government just doesn't know where to look. i would have done it for half off. >> every time i see this, i think, is that really the situation? >> it's not like cleaning out a fish tank. i like the salmon money the best. who do they think they are? do they think that they are spotted owls? for the amount of money they should be able to swim upstream. >> the problem with these earmarks, and i know that there have been reforms and so they are not was to be as many, but they are no longer transparent and that is the problem. you don't necessarily know which legislator has inserted these and the appropriations bill and it is patty murray. and she drives me crazy because there are other ways that they

can do this. >> i love salmon, i have no objections. in my problem is with the department of defense. those earmarks are responsible and the amount of money spent went up 44% from last year to this year which i would have no problem with, we obviously have to support our military and you have to spend it on the things we are currently fighting. >> it doesn't make a lot of sense, first of all we talk about the redundancy, we are spending billions of dollars on duplicate programs, but they say that they spend $20 million for energy research for the dod because they have the money. wasn't sequester spies to cut that out?

>> exactly. also they are talking about this being a jobs program, spending $120 million on retro knitting vests that the pentagon says we don't want them, we want to spend that money instead on coming up with asymmetric warfare. >> the $120 million is not necessarily necessary when you have 2000 of them in the california desert and they can provide the date for next years coachella. and nothing like having the leader of the free world take shots at you. president obama said of fox news unfairly for trades or keep old as lethe. >> i have to say that if you watch fox news on a regular basis, it is a constant menu dash they will find, folks thate me mad. i don't know where they find

them. looks like i don't want to work i won a free obama phone or whatever. [laughter] >> actually, no, i have seen a lot of the analysts on fox news take issue with several things about the president, megyn kelly did a great job compiling a few of these other rants. >> i have one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration. >> are you talking about fox? >> that's a pretty big megaphone. >> just in case some of you are friends or neighbors or your uncle who is stubborn and been watching fox news. [laughter] and he thinks that somehow i have raised taxes, if you have talked to someone that says i don't know, i was watching fox news and they said it was

horrible and you can say, you know, don't take my word for it. go on the website. >> especially he didn't complain because of this. >> and his solution to change how the media reports, this from a president who has been charged by lisa 38 news outlets for being completely opaque, the opposite of transparent, he wants to use the bully pulpit and he has forgotten about the first amendment and he has also forgotten that it's not just this but it's other ways that he has behaved and screwed up the country that gives him plenty of fodder to discuss. >> i think it's amazing that someone who has gotten such an easy ride from the press is complaining about the one network that is willing to call him out if he doesn't like the reporting, why don't you change the news. >> that's a really good point.

>> they don't like the image of saying i don't want to work. well, we have turned the cameras on them. >> he shut down a reporter who is trying to video him if he was nal teacher of the year, this is one of the most controlling president. >> fox talks about policy, they don't talk about individuals a way that obama said that he did and the gold for it left and right is to decrease poverty in the united states. and so briefly his policies are not working the way that he really wanted them to. so he spins it around and now he is blaming the media for perception issue. >> he is lucky that he has that

opportunity. if he really wants the government controlled media, there's a lot of dictatorships in communist countries it can go to where the media is controlled kennedy: they have state run news in moscow and beijing and commack. and if you understand that this is highly un-american. and that, people don't necessarily want that sort of emotionalism and they turn to places like fox news. >> it's pretty good but he is concerned with what fox is saying, it means that we are doing something right. >> that is exactly right and we will have nightcaps all around in just a moment. coming up next, you may have discovered him as the intern, but he's going to be right here in just a little bit. the first, when it comes to the world's most insane leaders,

they are each understanding in their own way but none can touch cam kim jong-un we have that ne.

♪ ♪ kennedy: welcome back, kim jong-un has reportedly executed

his defense minister and he took them out with an antiaircraft gun. one of the giant things that takes down helicopters and planes and mad people. he has a spectacularly gory track record. in 2013 he took out a senior government official who happened to be his uncle, the reports claim that he was stripped naked and fed to hungry dogs that those reports were found to be false and then there was his ex girlfriend that he allegedly killed her as well, although i think i saw her on young and restless the restless last week. so what is crazier? being hammer getting close to him? michael malice is here to discuss. he has written about north korea and he knows it all too well. so what do you think when you

hear stories of an execution like this? who would be so silly to disrespect him in this environment? >> mrs. not par for the course because people assume that the most evil or crazy story is true, but from the history, when people fall from favor they are not automatically executed, he himself got demoted in 2012. or they get shipped away. >> that is a much nicer thing to do. why is he proving to be such a bully? >> this is a tricky game he is playing because you can define reality is a dictator, but you cannot defy the consequences of reality. social psychology comes into play because all these gentle start to get nervous and that's going to be very bad are for the man at the top of the pier med. this is him being very nervous

and it's very much a big sign against the regime. >> according to the intelligence report, which is not necessarily trustworthy, he was executed in front of a hundred people with an antiaircraft gun and that is gory and brutal and very public it sounds like. >> you are forced to watch it with the whole town, this is a great thing that we are killing an enemy. public executions are par for the course. in a way that is the leader admitting that i have someone in the hierarchy where my judgment was flawed. so it's very odd. but toward the end of his life he increased everyone's salaries and then inflation had and as a result he shot his finance minister and that really happened. so there's all sorts of things on both sides.

>> crazy things tend to happen. but apparently he fell asleep in a meeting. >> i think that that was an excuse. what happens is when you are at the top you have to be psychic and anticipate what the reader wants, for example they shut down the borders, was that the right choice? if they didn't, it's a dead, no matter what choice you make, you're taking a chance with your life. if you make the wrong decision you are the one that is going to have to be punished. >> it's weird to think that they have this tourism industry but they do. you have been there and you have been a part of it. and i hope that somehow the region stabilizes and i know that even china has this about north korea.

♪ kennedy: hello and welcome back. a woman says she was fired for removing an application from her smart phone that she says was tracking her during off work time. her boss reportedly bragged he knew how fast she was driving. she is suing half a million dollars for invasion of privacy. our panel is back and we have not fire them.

i will start with you, patti ann browne. i think there was something going on that we had in mean. i think that her boss was somehow obsessed or her. there was no way for her to not be trapped on the weekend. >> in actually didn't turn it on. and then he is bragging to her like i know how fast you were driving over the weekend, it was a creepy stalker-ish thing going on and really, during work, it's like, okay, your hours are not your own network. but it's none of your business how many shoe stores she goes to. >> she says that she went to her employer and that it feels creepy and wrong end i think it's illegal, and they said maybe, just go with it and at some point it will feel fine. >> i think that it is a slippery slope.

>> the problem with this boss of hers, but you cannot just be a legal part of the way. you have to keep lying because she said it's kind of like okay, i have an eye on you, and you should of been like no, i don't think so. >> yes, this makes me want to buy a flip phone. simpler times. >> i agree with you guys, she was joking about how fast she was driving, which means that she was 100% being monitored. you have to stick up for yourself or your creepy boss is going to show up at your laundry mat. >> but why would you want this in the first place? are you hiring people that are so distrustful that they cannot be out of your sight for five minutes?

>> the one thing that she did was apparently drive too fast. >> that is what he admitted. >> switching gears to an army veteran who found a hot dog locked in the car on a hot day, fearing that the dog would not survive, he smashed the window to free the dog with a woman the woman who owned the car and the little dog as well, did not appreciate it. she had the bad arrest him. and so what do you think about this? before i give you my take i want to hear your opinion. >> they mentioned that he was in the military. and the thing is that the police were on their way and we all love our pets, but you don't have the right to smash someone's window for a pet. you can do for a child but not for a pet. i don't think he's going to have to because i think they're going

to do what they have to pay for. >> are you an animal lover? >> yes, i am. i have a dog. >> joe is right, a lot of people were concerned and apparently the dog was in distress. a minute later the dog could've been dead. i think that he did the right thing and there is leniency and you have the opportunity to let the charges dropped. but as for him being a vet, i wonder if they are just saying that. >> here is my problem. these are the kind of busybodies that call the police when the children are playing alone in the park. everyone has to be a vigilante, a savior, a hero, i think he could have hurt the dog by shattering the glass. and so i have mixed feelings. >> first of all, i think the dog

owner should have been arrested. because you are stupid for leaving your dog in a parked car. but how do we know he saved the dogs live? i think he should have waited for the police to come. >> i have faith in the police department that they were able to jimmy the door open and get the dog free. he could've gotten glass in his eyes, it could have nibbled glassy beds and had a very scratched up colon. >> i like to the owner of the car's name was bill on draft. [laughter] okay that's hilarious. >> okay, hillary has been asserting her right to remain silent and not her husband.

here's what will said when david letterman asked about moving into the white house. >> if the chances are 100% i will move back. [laughter] i will move back if i'm asked. >> there were many appearances to make him back the bill. what do you make of the former president max. >> him being in front of the camera while hitter his wife hides from the media is such a good idea. i mean, the clinton foundation scandal is on everyone's minds so if you put the time in front of the camera to act as a mask and a distraction, then hillary can just come back into the public eye once again.

kennedy: i'm so glad you brought that up. in just a few minutes i want to figure out what it is about presidents that allow them to connect with people because i think president clinton had it and i think that hillary clinton does not. but i also think that she can't stand having him around. >> can you imagine what kind of a pain in the neck he is going to be? if you get him into the oval office are never going to get him out again. once he sees the desk and thinks about the great times. >> it is going to be cuban cigar >> she can find a way to pay. women even less money. >> do you think that the former president and first lady are having some trouble in paradise we max.

been a full biography since 2004. >> how much time did you spend going over them? >> it's hard to say. i teach american history and i have been teaching about it and thinking about him since he was president. >> isn't someone that you like and admire to or someone that you despise them he wanted to bring him down? >> for me, it's all about the story and the importance. and i wrote a book so that people who love him, like you, and people who hate him, they can both get something out of it. my job is to tell the story and to describe and explain. >> can you describe how he connected with the american public? i think it's a difficult thing for presidents to do and i don't think a lot of them are able to do it. they want to, but i think that there's only a few. i don't think nixon could, i think clinton did it, obviously

reagan did it, and now all of these republican candidate are trying to bolster themselves as the next ronald reagan. >> it really helps to have experience on stage and on camera. franklin roosevelt knew how to do it, he didn't have to be on radio. and ronald reagan considered franklin roosevelt to be his political idol and he learned a great deal about how to make that connection. he understood. he can connect with the american people. without the filter of editors, he can go directly to the american people and accomplish nearly everything. roosevelt did in the 1930s, reagan did in the 1980s. >> his critics will say that he was a gum flapping after that happened to yap his way to the top. it was a case of someone that was just acting like a president than was there more to the man than he found? >> i will say that he knew how

to perform the presidency which was essential. there's a lot of talented and capable people that don't know how to do it. jimmy carter knew more about the details of government and policy. but he knew nothing about actually being president. but the other thing is that reagan benefited from the underestimation and a lot of people thought he was an empty head. but in fact he wrote more of his own life than any president since woodrow wilson. so he really dined out on the facts that people thought they could pull stuff over on him. >> he wanted to shrink the size of government and he wanted to defeat communism. and maybe this is sacrilegious to say, but i think that this is part of its. >> you could more easily mobilized this.

but his secret to success as president that he was willing to focus on two things and he said it again and again from his first speech in 1964 to his last. there were two things that he wanted to shrink and he accomplish the second one, he got half of the person he was able to bring taxes down. he couldn't shrink spending and it turned out that spending was more stubborn than he thought and he under estimated the people that like their programs to hang onto them. >> of you want to read more about him and his personal diaries, "reagan: the life." thank you for being here. >> coming up, tom got himself into a precarious spot and i was there when he almost killed himself and about 1000 other people. he is going to creep into the nightcap which is happening next so stay right here.
